As whispers from the great tomb accompanied them, a surge of dark power, originating from the tomb, rippled outwards like waves towards the battlefield!
Hum!
A black ripple swept from behind the skeletal knights, and in an instant, the tide-like skeletal knights came to a sudden halt as the black ripple passed over them.
The black light swept by rapidly, and within moments, it reached the very front of the battlefield.
The red-armored warriors, who were wielding their blades, once again annihilated the charging knights with the power of starlight, only to be surprised to find that the knights were no longer advancing.
The knights behind them had instantly frozen in place, like sculptures.
Before Chen Luo issued his command, the red-armored soldiers cautiously chose to hold their ground.
Chen Luo frowned slightly as he looked at the battlefield, at the nightmare-level knights that were frozen like statues.
These knights, even compared to the unenhanced disaster-level death knights he had encountered before, were a tier weaker.
However, considering their staggering numbers, in the millions, they still constituted a force that could not be ignored.
Yet, this "cannot be ignored" was only relative to the Imperial Capital and the Starlight City-State at this moment.
What truly concerned Chen Luo was the sweeping black light.
The moment his senses touched the light, they were eroded and annihilated.
Without a doubt, the source of that light was an existence on par with or even stronger than Chen Luo.
With this thought, Chen Luo instantly connected mentally with the hundreds of thousands of Great Flame soldiers behind him.
Chen Luo's voice echoed in everyone's minds:
"Everyone! Retreat quickly back to the Imperial Capital! The intensity of the upcoming battle will escalate significantly!"
"You are not qualified to spectate!"
On one hand, the Great Flame soldiers were surprised by the sudden voice in their minds.
On the other hand, they were also angered by the content of the voice.
Who did he think they were? They had been fighting these bone frames for over ten days, could spectating really get them killed?
However, they only refuted it subconsciously in their minds, and no one spoke out. Little did they know that in the state of mental linkage, their mental fluctuations were instantly understood by Chen Luo.
Chen Luo shook his head with a hint of helplessness.
It wasn't that these people couldn't accept it. After all, the nightmare-level battle before them, due to Chen Luo's intervention with starlight, had produced an extremely terrifying instant-kill effect.
Therefore, the nightmare-level battles that could normally demolish buildings had turned into a mowing-down game, appearing less violent and shocking.
With this in mind, Chen Luo turned to the somewhat silent old general behind him and said:
"Old sir, having faced nightmare-level beings yourself, you should understand the terror of these monsters."
Recalling the terrifying momentum of the skeletal monster that had charged at him moments ago, its sword swing as if to cleave him and his carriage in two, the old general nodded solemnly.
Chen Luo continued:
"Then, please order everyone to retreat. Nightmare-level beings are merely the grunts on the upcoming battlefield."
"The battles to come will feature disaster-level beings capable of easily destroying streets, and purgatory-level beings with the full power to annihilate cities."
The old general's expression began to change:
"Young man, I, an old man, have also seen grand spectacles, but what you are saying, might it be too exaggerated?"
Chen Luo looked at the old man calmly, shook his head, and said:
"Trust me. Moreover, above purgatory, there are beings like myself, abyss-level, capable of easily rewriting the map."
For a moment, the old man felt as if he had already been killed by a skeleton just now, otherwise, how could he be experiencing such a hallucination.
And after the equipment in the vehicle synchronized and transmitted Chen Luo's voice and image back,
The supreme command center instantly erupted in chaos.
"How is that possible?!! Rewriting the map?! It would have taken all the nuclear bombs detonating at once to even dare say 'rewriting the map'!"
"How can individual power reach that level! And the gap in power levels he described is too vast!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! We're all players, how can the gap be so huge?!"
Chen Luo's words were too shocking. Even though they had seen nuclear bombs be ineffective, they had only attributed it to the monsters using special skills or methods.
But from Chen Luo's words, it seemed he was implying he could rewrite the map by himself?
This was the real world! Such power was no different from that of gods!
However, amidst everyone's shock and disbelief, only Zhuge Yun, who had been worried, had a flushed face:
"That's right! The greater the level, the larger the gap, my hypothesis is correct!"
"So he's not purgatory-level! Is abyss-level above purgatory?!"
"Perhaps, we truly have a chance of salvation!"
On the green military vehicle, the old general looked deeply at the young man before him. Although he found it difficult to imagine the power the young man spoke of,
The tone and expression of the other party made him unable to help but believe him to some extent.
Without much hesitation, the old general picked up the vehicle's communicator and said loudly:
"All units of the army! Hear my command! Retreat to the Imperial Capital!!!"
The Great Flame army, which had been arrayed behind him, received the supreme order and, without any hesitation or doubt, began to return in the direction they came, just as silently as they had arrived.
The black dust and the lightning flashing across the sky indicated the world's unrest.
But looking at the light barrier in the distance, a sense of peace of returning home involuntarily arose in their hearts.
After issuing the order, the old general straightened his back, saluted Chen Luo, his cloudy eyes flashing with a certain spirit and strength:
"I don't know where you come from, young man, nor do I know what the so-called abyss-level power entails."
"But, allow this old man to beg one thing of you: please save the Imperial Capital, please save Great Yan!"
"We have done our best... but our country should not die so silently!!!"
Chen Luo looked at the old man trying to straighten his back, nodded gently, and then showed a gentle smile:
"Rest assured, as long as I am here, Great Yan will be here."
....
The mighty Great Flame army, as they had arrived, marched back once more.
The old man in the military vehicle, sensing the billions of "Candlelight" items transferred to him by Chen Luo in his sea of consciousness, rekindled a sliver of hope for the future:
"Perhaps, we truly still have a chance!"
On the vast battlefield after the nuclear explosion, Chen Luo flew directly above the Crimson Great Wall using anti-gravity.
Gazing at the knights who were still like sculptures, the demonic patterns in Chen Luo's eyes flickered slightly.
At the very rear of the charging knights, there was a darkness that even Chen Luo could not penetrate.
He could sense an extremely terrifying oppressive force continuously emanating from there.
As if sensing Chen Luo's gaze,
Hum!
A beam of dark light spread out again from the distance.
Beneath the black light, the ground, which had been scorched into glass by the high temperature of the nuclear explosion, instantly turned into a desolate, pitch-black land.
The black land spread rapidly, and wherever it passed, all the solidified skeletal knights slowly sank into the black earth.
This extremely eerie black land quickly devoured millions of nightmare-level knights in a blink of an eye, and was about to advance towards the Crimson Great Wall.
A divine light flashed in Chen Luo's eyes, and with a grasp in his hand, a golden spear forged from starlight was directly pulled from the void!
Boom!
The sky flashed with light and shadow, and Chen Luo, holding the spear, fiercely struck the ground before the Crimson Great Wall!
The golden spear plunged straight into the ground!
Bang!!
A golden flame, originating from the spear, suddenly spread outwards to both sides!
In an instant, the golden flame formed a wall of golden flame before the Crimson Great Wall.
Boom!!!
The eerie black land instantly collided with the wall of flame.
Amidst the continuous annihilation and collision of power, the expansion of this eerie land was forcefully halted by Chen Luo.
The raging winds that swirled in all directions made Chen Luo's hair flutter slightly.
His golden eyes now gazed into the thick, unresolvable darkness in the distance, and he declared loudly:
"Great Yan, I've got your back!"
"So, are you ready to die?!"
