Chapter 126 - 121: You’re Finally Awake

Chapter 126: Chapter 121: You’re Finally Awake

After destroying the Array, the Fu Jian Squad immediately activated the Teleportation Array, heading to the next target location.

As for the group of cultivators currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Yin Demons... they could only be left to fend for themselves.

As time passed, the players each displayed their Divine Powers. The destruction missions were nearing their end. With over seven hundred thousand players gathered, their collective strength was unimaginable. The mission proceeded smoothly.

The Fu Jian Squad and Yun Chu stood out the most. The former left people in awe with their veteran experience and combat skills, while the latter used her stunningly brilliant methods to show the world what it meant to be the number one genius of their time.

"In the end, only the largest, most colossal Array is left."

It was the final guiding array. The Yin Demons were numerous, and the security was incredibly tight. The human players teleported here en masse, completely surrounding the Yin Demon guards. They were preparing for the final, decisive battle.

Chen Huangbei still had lingering trauma regarding this place. This was the exact target location where he had been instantly killed the first time he teleported over. In the past, he would have been the first to charge in, but having suffered a massive loss here, he chose to shrink back...

There were simply too many Yin Demons. At first glance, their numbers were almost on par with the players of the Ten Thousand Races. The Array also had a protective light barrier. If one wanted to sneak in and launch a surprise attack, they could get close, but this ultimate guiding array was different from the ones that had already been destroyed. The difficulty lay precisely in that protective barrier. Sneaking in was easy, but destroying the barrier in a short amount of time was impossible. One would inevitably fall into a desperate, isolated situation and then... instantly be sent to the respawn countdown room. Their only option was to fight head-on.

Although there was a large number of players, no one was willing to submit to anyone else, leaving them without a true leader. No one wanted to make the first move. As a result, both sides fell into a stalemate.

Su Tan sensed that the atmosphere was off. He quickly issued a First Blood reward, along with various rankings like the Top Ten Blunders. Dragging things out like this was not a solution. Yet, even with the First Blood reward, the players merely looked eager but hesitant to act. The Yin Demons had already set up their formations; charging over to grab the first kill was highly unlikely. They would probably be instantly annihilated before they even got close.

"There’s no one willing to stick their neck out and ignite the flames of war..."

The atmosphere was incredibly delicate. Tensions were at a breaking point; it only needed the tiniest spark for the battle to erupt. However, that tiny spark refused to appear.

"Yaoyao... you go!" Su Tan was burning with anxiety. Left with no other choice, he planned to have the Little White Wolf muddy the waters. With everyone below remaining so peaceful, Su Tan couldn’t eat or sleep in peace.

"I’ve been waiting for you to say that!" The Little White Wolf had been holding back for far too long. He had wanted to go out ages ago.

"Wait... never mind, the spark has appeared!" the Fat Monk suddenly interjected.

On the Marching Battlefield.

SWISH!

Space tore open. A figure dressed in clothes whiter than snow stepped out, wielding a long, slender Thin Sword that glinted with a cold light. It was like a Banished Immortal descending. Her pristine, lightweight long robes were spotless, fluttering gracefully, while her cascading hair moved without any wind.

Was this an immortal descending to the mortal realm? It was as if she had walked right out of an Ancient God myth. Treading through the void, she looked down upon the world with disdain. Her face was obscured, and her gender was indiscernible. Yet... she gave off an extraordinarily stunning aura.

That bearing. That expression. That tall, perfectly straight posture. If a man, he would undoubtedly be a peerless beauty; if a woman... she was certainly an eternal, breathtaking maiden. A beauty to be admired from afar but never profaned! It felt as though she were incredibly close, yet separated by eons.

"My god... what kind of existence have I encountered!"

An existence that could captivate both men and women alike.

"Is this..."

"One!"

It was the first time. The first time people were this close to One. The first time they could look at her head-on. Even though they couldn’t see her face, it was enough to leave them stunned. Everyone was thrilled...

SWISH!

Had she just come out to stand there and show off, making people worship her? No! She was here to kill Yin Demons. She wasn’t just eye candy.

Stepping out of the spatial rift, she glanced around. Without a single word, she moved. Like a holy Flying Snow Sword, she plunged straight into the Yin Demon Army. Fearless and undaunted. Her invincible posture was put on full display.

RUMBLE!

Her speed was incredibly fast, like a Thunderbolt. In an instant, she carved into the Yin Demon Army. Her strength was immense, possessing Mountain-Flipping Sea-Sweeping power. As she cut in, she tore through with unstoppable force, forcefully carving a massive gap into the black ocean of the Yin Demon Army. It was like a colossal scar.

Those who tried to face her head-on... shattered and were destroyed like fragile glass!

She was just that strong! She was meant to be this strong!

A breathtaking sword strike threw the Yin Demon formation into chaos, leaving the Yin Demons trembling in fear.

At this moment, both the Yin Demons and the cultivators present were utterly dumbfounded. From this day forward, everyone believed that One had established her unique and unparalleled status in the current era. With just a single sword strike, she had left everyone hopelessly in her dust.

"He... he’s so incredible..."

"A single sword strike broke the Yin Demon Army..."

Some were silent, some were amazed, and some found it terrifying. There were a hundred different expressions. A true cross-section of humanity!

This was... a Yun Chu with cheats enabled. Even without cheats, she was already incredibly powerful. Now that the "official administration" was giving her hacks, she was even more terrifying.

Take teleportation, for instance. Others needed startup time for their arrays. Hers... was instant! While others could only rely on their real-world strength to fight, she had the power of the Divine Mansion boosting her!

Inside the Divine Mansion.

"Truly powerful, as expected of One," the Fat Monk couldn’t help but praise.

Although her eye-catching performance was partly due to the Divine Mansion’s help, Yun Chu’s effectiveness had also exceeded Su Tan and the others’ expectations. The value she created was far higher than the cost of enabling her cheats. It was worth it! She was worth the Divine Mansion giving her hacks.

The limited resources could only be given to the most valuable cultivator. That person was Yun Chu.

Perhaps there were some among the players who were hiding their true strength, pretending to be weak to exploit their enemies. However, Su Tan didn’t have the time to play hide-and-seek with that crowd. Under this kind of competition, resources were distributed according to rankings. Those who performed well would naturally receive good rewards and attention. As for those playing the fool... they just had something wrong with their heads.

"That girl really... stole my thunder. I originally wanted to go out and get some fresh air," the Little White Wolf said in displeasure.

"Haha..." Su Tan chuckled. "No rush, no rush. There will come a time when we need you. If not for this mission, then for future ones... You are our trump card, how could we play you so easily?"

"..." The White Wolf rolled his eyes at Su Tan.

How many times had he said those exact words?

"Forget it, forget it... I’m going to sleep," the Little White Wolf said. Then, he lay down to the side and quickly fell fast asleep.

On the Marching Battlefield.

"Kill!"

RUMBLE...

Yun Chu cleaved through the Yin Demon Army with a single sword strike. The other cultivators were only stunned for a brief moment before they snapped back to reality. Players from all directions surged toward the Yin Demons like a dense swarm of army ants.

BANG BANG BANG!

A fierce battle erupted. It was fierce... but not quite as tragic as the last one. This time, they had Yun Chu. Moreover, the veteran players knew how to deal with the Yin Demons. Therefore, the battle remained heavily in the players’ favor. It was a massive advantage. Almost... a complete crushing defeat! This Array destruction mission... was nearing completion.

"Interesting, how interesting... Who is... that human?" Over by the Yin Demon Prison, a resonant voice echoed throughout the entire world. It was lazy, as if its owner had just woken up. It wasn’t particularly cold or impassioned. The tone was soft, yet pierced with an undeniable sharpness.

Upon hearing this voice, every Yin Demon powerhouse—from the commanders down to the ordinary Yin Demons—shuddered inwardly. Their eyes filled with astonishment as they all turned in unison toward the center of the Yin Demon Prison.

"He’s awake, he’s awake... Great deity, you have finally awakened!" the Yin Demon Race cheered in excitement.
