Chapter 1050: Chapter 931: Tragic Death!
“Humans, you will pay for your actions!”
After Ye Fan, Zhe Xuanji, and Yan left, the Flame Eagle let out a roar that echoed across the sky. Then it slowly descended, devouring the beast cores of six Half-step Yuan realm mutant beasts, absorbing their energy. Its strength advanced another level, and the flames covering its body shifted from red to orange-red, its temperature rising even higher.
No one knew how much time had passed, but the Flame Eagle exhausted the energy of the six Half-step Yuan realm mutant beasts. It then stretched its wings and soared high, transforming into a fiery blaze as it flew in a particular direction!
There, a small town inhabited by humans lay!
With its injuries healed and strength further enhanced, it sensed the presence of humans there, ready to unleash revenge!
“Wha… what is that?”
“Mu… mutant beast, a mutant beast is attacking!!”
Flying swiftly, the Flame Eagle soon arrived at the human-inhabited small town. The townspeople, upon seeing its presence, called out in alarm.
“Perish!!”
The Flame Eagle roared, then opened its mouth, spitting out several fireballs, which descended onto the town like cannonballs.
“Ah—”
In no time, the town transformed into a sea of flames. Shouts of alarm, screams of agony, ceaselessly echoed as the people buried in the sea of fire perished without a single survivor.
After destroying the town and killing all its inhabitants, the Flame Eagle flew to the next city, embarking on a frenzied slaughter, leaving scorched earth in its wake, reducing vast regions of towns and cities to a blazing inferno.
Some wealthy individuals, faced with the impending disaster, disregarded their own fortunes, boarding private planes to flee to base cities.
However—
Their private planes were barely airborne when struck by the fireballs spewed by the Flame Eagle, crashing and killing all aboard.
If even they met such a fate, there was no hope for the ordinary people!
Moreover, the American Cultivator Alliance suffered heavy casualties. Many cultivators were burnt alive by the high temperatures of the Flame Eagle at first sight, the scene unbearable to witness.
Though these individuals were elite human cultivators, they were no match for the True Essence Realm Flame Eagle. No matter how many attacked together, it only increased the number of casualties, with no effect whatsoever.
“Life is so fragile…”
The scenes of the Flame Eagle’s rampant slaughter were captured by satellites, spreading rapidly to every corner of the globe, instilling panic and despair in those who witnessed the devastation.
Because…
Under the Flame Eagle’s onslaught and ravaging, humans had virtually no capacity to resist!
“Is humanity facing extinction?”
Everyone’s heart echoed this question. Although the previous events on the African continent were also severe, known nearly worldwide, people weren’t concerned, believing humanity would ultimately prevail, no force could completely annihilate humans.
However—
The appearance of the Flame Eagle this time brought a real sense of the threat of death to everyone.
Everyone understood clearly, if no power could eradicate the Flame Eagle, human extinction seemed inevitable!
For a time, various messages and rumors flew around, with official announcements and hearsay, progressing daily with new updates.
“Latest news, the entire burning bird has entered State X, and millions have perished in the conflagration…”
“American Alliance’s cultivators went to resist, not a single one survived, all died heroically in battle…”
“What heroic death? It was a massacre, those people weren’t opponents of that monster bird, they couldn’t even get close, directly burnt to death!”
People globally discussed the events occurring within the American Alliance, various reports spreading unchecked, even with official refutations it was futile, panic had already overtaken the populace.
Amidst the apparent extinction crisis of mankind, some extremists believed human extinction had become inevitable, with no hope of triumph remaining.
Thus, these individuals began to riot, looting stores, taking advantage of the chaos, settling old scores, plunging the world’s security into disarray.
…
Meanwhile.
Upon returning to the base city, Yan immediately convened an emergency meeting.
Because the Helmsmen of the Five Ancient Forces were annihilated by the Flame Eagle, the meeting was attended by representatives of the Six Major Alliances, as well as the governments’ heads, along with Lv Yuan and Ye Fan.
“Everyone, humanity is at a critical point of life and death—the strength of this mutant beast has reached the legendary True Essence Realm. Not one of us is its match, even if Brother Xuanji and I join forces, we are doomed to lose!”
Yan surveyed the crowd, speaking in a grave tone.
As Yan’s words echoed, seeing his serious expression, not a single person spoke.
If you were to explain the difference between the True Essence Realm and the Half-step Yuan Realm to an ordinary person, it might require some effort, but for them, Yan’s words are perfectly clear. The gap between each realm is like an unbridgeable chasm, impossible to cross.
When one reaches the True Essence Realm, it’s no longer a matter of numbers to achieve victory. The transformation from quantity to quality occurs, and the mutant beasts of the True Essence Realm belong to that kind of qualitative change.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, Yan continued, “Now, the only solution is to use the most powerful super nuclear bomb to kill that mutant beast. If that doesn’t work, then humanity has no hope left — humans will face extinction!”
Super nuclear bomb?!
Upon hearing Yan’s words again, everyone’s expressions changed involuntarily.
Although most people present were cultivators, they were still aware of such advanced strategic weapons.
Especially the President of the American Alliance, whose face turned pale. He understood well that the so-called most powerful super nuclear bomb’s destructive power is ten times that of the first bomb used; once deployed, it could devastate one-third of the United States region of the American Alliance.
Such a powerful nuclear bomb, if deployed, would cause irreparable losses to the American Alliance, and the price paid would be too severe.
“No, I resolutely oppose this action, it’s irresponsible to the people of the American Alliance, and I won’t allow you to conduct such operations within our American Alliance territory!”
The President of the American Alliance stood up to protest Yan.
Though he wished to eliminate the Flame Eagle immediately, he didn’t want the American Alliance to become a sacrifice.
“What do the others think?” It seemed that Yan had expected this situation and wasn’t surprised, instead directing his gaze towards the others.
“Everyone should be aware, the power of that nuclear bomb is tremendously large, its destructive capacity is too strong. Once deployed, it will cause enormous and irreparable losses.” The head of the American Cultivator Alliance spoke coldly, trying to influence other attendees.
“Don’t forget, that mutant beast is currently within your American Alliance territory. If we don’t use the super nuclear bomb, what way do you have to eliminate it?”
Ye Fan frowned at the head of the American Cultivator Alliance. At such a critical moment, when humanity was at life and death, the American Alliance leader only cared about the American Alliance’s interests, making him quite annoyed.
“You…”
The leader of the American Alliance opened his mouth and pointed at Ye Fan, unable to refute.
He had already learned about the killing of the five ancient forces’ helmsmen.
On Earth, only Yan and Zhe Xuanji’s strength was superior to those five!
Now those five had all died in battle, and Yan and Zhe Xuanji combined were not opponents of the Flame Eagle. If the super nuclear bomb is not used, there is indeed no way to kill the Flame Eagle.
“I agree with Alliance Leader Yan’s proposal…”
The President of the Russian Alliance spoke up, choosing to support Yan.
On the one hand, he also knew that by now, only the super nuclear bomb could kill the Flame Eagle.
More importantly, the super nuclear bomb was to be deployed in the American Alliance, having minimal impact on the Russian Alliance.
Under such circumstances, he naturally was happy to agree!
“I disagree, the power of the super nuclear bomb is too large; once deployed, it will have unpredictable consequences.”
The President of the European Union also shared his opinion, not agreeing with Yan’s proposal.
After all, the European Union has always been allied with the American Alliance, and the American Alliance is not far from the European Union. Once deployed, the super nuclear bomb would also impact the European Union considerably.
“Everyone knows the power of the super nuclear bomb, and the consequences of deploying it. I can say, including myself, no one wants to deploy the super nuclear bomb! But…tell me, if we don’t deploy the super nuclear bomb, how are we supposed to withstand and kill that mutant beast??” Seeing the President of the European Union’s opposition, Yan stood up abruptly and shouted sternly.
No response.
Instantly, the conference room plunged back into silence.
“It’s decided then. Deploy the super nuclear bomb at the location of that mutant beast to make sure it is blasted away!”
Yan didn’t bother with any voting ceremony anymore, as this was not the time for democracy. A decision had to be made; otherwise, delaying would only result in more people dying.
“Alliance Leader, bad news, latest updates, the flaming monstrous bird is specifically killing cultivators and has already left the American mainland, flying towards Huaxia…” As Yan finished speaking, a member of the War God Alliance pushed open the conference room door and shouted urgently.
Swoosh!
In an instant, the presidents of the other Five Great Alliances and heads of the Cultivator Alliance all turned their eyes to Yan, Zhe Xuanji, Ye Wenhao, and Ye Fan!
The look seemed to ask: Still want to deploy the super nuclear bomb?
