Charles cursed, saying that even those who had reached the edge of the abyss seemed insignificant in the face of these behemoths.
"Their target is the barrier. Stop them!"
Bai Yuekui immediately discerned the intentions of these giant beasts.
Dozens of bone-armored mammoths charged simultaneously, ignoring the low-level Devouring Beasts beneath them like moving mountains, even crushing their own kind, rushing towards the energy barrier at a speed disproportionate to their size, the earth trembling violently under their iron hooves.
"Soldiers, all firepower, aim at those behemoths, quick!" Commander Lin shouted hoarsely, hoping it would work.
In an instant, countless cannons, missiles, and energy beams... converged and bombarded the mammoths.
However, it had very little effect.
The mammoth devourer's bony exoskeleton is incredibly thick and seems capable of deflecting and absorbing energy attacks.
Conventional artillery shells can only blast a small piece of bone into their bodies, and laser beams need to be continuously irradiated to barely burn through them; their charging speed is almost unaffected.
"The defensive barrier has been impacted, and its strength has dropped drastically, 70%, 60%!!" the engineer shouted in alarm.
at the same time.
“Charles will be in charge of the left wing, Mr. White on the right wing, and I will take care of the middle.”
Chen Yuan said calmly, as the mechanical wings behind him emitted scorching rays of light, actively meeting the core of the charging mammoth horde.
The battle escalated to a fever pitch in an instant!
Chen Yuan locked onto the strongest mammoth in the middle and unleashed the Dragon Core 9 palm pulse cannon at full power on its head, attempting to draw its attention.
At the same time, the electromagnetic gravitational field is activated instantly to slow down the opponent's pace.
The Mammoth Devourer let out a painful roar, its charge slowing slightly as a small piece of its head armor was shattered. However, its massive bony trunk lashed out at Chen Yuan like a giant warhammer, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air.
Bai Yuekui, like a white lightning bolt, deftly dodged the Mammoth Devourer's charge and long-nosed strikes, while his Pure Candlelight Sword specifically targeted its relatively vulnerable joints and eyes, causing it to lose its balance.
Charles was the most violent; he landed directly behind a mammoth, his dark red claws aimed at its relatively vulnerable belly and hind legs.
The life-source tentacles frantically coiled and absorbed, but the behemoth's abnormal life source was extremely vast and complex, making absorption exceptionally difficult and fraught with risk.
The mammoth devourer was in pain and frantically thrashed its body, trying to shake off the insect, but Charles was like a stubborn plaster and was ultimately not shaken off.
The base unleashed all its heavy firepower to create an opportunity for the three.
Bai Yuekui, Chen Yuan, and Charles are now powerful enough to rival a fifth-tier being.
Even the massive Mammoth Devouring Beasts, all at the late and peak stages of the fourth tier, posed no threat and were eliminated one by one.
The intensity of the battle did not diminish in the slightest despite the fall of dozens of bone-armored mammoth devourers.
Chen Yuan, Bai Yuekui, and Charles acted like three pillars of strength, carving out a brief vacuum in the beast tide, surrounded by mountains of Devouring Beast remains.
However, the beast tide not only did not recede, but became even more frenzied.
Those low-level Devouring Beasts seemed to have completely lost their fear, their eyes filled only with pure, destructive desires driven by some higher will. They relentlessly used their own bodies to deplete the base's firepower and the three people's stamina.
"Are these guys... insane? How come they keep multiplying even after I kill them all?"
Charles was panting heavily. His Abyss-Beast mech was covered in bluish-black slime and signs of damage. Maintaining his shield and the continuous high-intensity combat had left him severely exhausted.
Chapter 187 Emperor-Level Ghost Wing Beast King
Bai Yuekui's lightsaber remained sharp, but his breathing became slightly rapid. Several deep claw marks were left on the pure white armor of the Jingzhu, and nanoparticles were repairing them.
“Something’s not right… They seem to be driven by something… Even their sense of pain and instincts are being suppressed.”
Chen Yuan hovered in mid-air. The starlight path on the surface of Loongson 9 remained stable, the output power of the micro-stellar furnace did not decrease, and the core energy was plentiful.
His gaze, hidden beneath his visor, swept over the boundless horde of beasts; Dragon Core was frantically calculating the abnormal energy source.
"Something's lurking behind us, an incredibly powerful aggregation of life essence, and it's rapidly approaching... It's coming..."
"No, there's more to come..."
Chen Yuan had just finished speaking.
The sky suddenly darkened.
It wasn't dark clouds obscuring the moon, but rather the flapping of countless wings, each over ten meters long.
The dense swarms of ghostly beasts, like a locust plague from the abyss, pressed in from the night sky behind the battlefield.
There were more than five thousand of them. Their scarlet eyes formed a suffocating sea of blood-red stars in the darkness. The gale created by their flapping wings even drowned out the continuous explosions on the battlefield.
At the very front of this terrifying aerial beast was a huge, dark shadow that exuded an aura of despair.
This is the Ghostwing Beast King, which evolved from the destruction of the Island of Calamity overseas and the devouring of two sea-land alliance fleets.
The King of the Ghost Wings was nearly six times larger than an ordinary Ghost Wing, with a wingspan of almost thirty-seven meters.
The dark bone armor was covered with dark red energy patterns, like lava flowing beneath the cracked earth.
It has a ferocious head with a single horn on its forehead twisted upwards, flickering with ominous arcs of energy.
Those scarlet pupils no longer held the madness of bestiality, but rather a cold, cruel, and mocking arrogance that only intelligent beings possess.
The Ghostwing Beast King slowly descended, its terrifying pressure, far exceeding that of a monarch-level beast, enveloped the entire battlefield as if it were a tangible force.
Even the crazed Devouring Beasts subconsciously lowered their bodies and let out low, whimpering cries.
The soldiers in the base trembled inexplicably, a fear stemming from instinct.
Its enormous wings flapped gently as it hovered in mid-air, its gaze sweeping over the struggling base defenses below as if scrutinizing ants, before finally settling on Chen Yuan and his two companions.
A deep, hoarse, yet crystal-clear universal language, seemingly a fusion of countless voices, resounded across the battlefield:
"It was you few... who killed my clumsy children?"
The Ghost Wing Beast King was referring to the Bone Armored Mammoth Devouring Beasts, his voice carrying a sense of spiritual pollution and oppression.
Bai Yuekui and Charles's expressions instantly became extremely solemn.
Beneath Chen Yuan's mask, his gaze was as sharp as a knife.
The fact that it can speak human language means that its intelligence level is far beyond imagination, and it may even have retained some of the memories and cognition of the Devouring Beast.
"A talking beast, and this suffocating sense of oppression!"
Charles, the one who stood on end, suppressed the tremor in his heart. His hair stood on end, and even his armor could not protect him.
"Be careful. This behemoth far surpasses the King level, reaching a level we can hardly imagine. Carelessness... will lead to death," Bai Yuekui said calmly.
"Don't engage in a direct confrontation. Focus on defense, assess the enemy's strength, and then surround and attack them..."
Chen Yuan wasn't confident either; the battle suit wasn't invincible, and he could still die if he encountered a stronger opponent.
The Ghostwing Beast King's massive head turned towards Charles, its crimson pupils narrowing slightly:
"Poor worm... clinging to life by stolen power. Your life essence is filled with disgusting impurities."
It then looked at Bai Yuekui: "As for the scent on you, it's very special, pure, and a little sweet. But your life is fading away, albeit slowly. However, once I devour you, it might make me even more perfect."
Finally, the Ghost Wing Beast King's gaze locked onto Chen Yuan, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Huh, you're strange. I can't see through you. Is it this iron armor that's isolating your life force..."
"So much nonsense."
Chen Yuan responded coldly, the mechanical wings on the back of Loongson 9 dispersing, all attack weapons unlocking, "Come and fight!"
"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."
The Ghostwing Beast King let out a chilling laugh, “Very well, then… let the feeding begin.”
It suddenly raised one of its front paws and swung it forward, the terrifying force creating a gust of wind.
"Children, crush these worms, for your king!"
At the command, the five thousand long-winged beasts in the sky simultaneously let out piercing screechs, plunging down like a black waterfall.
They were no longer as chaotic as before, but were divided into several echelons. Some of them specifically attacked Chen Yuan and his two companions, while others began to concentrate their firepower on the already crumbling energy barrier. Still others, like bombers, continuously sprayed energy missiles at the Jiuchuan base.
At the same time, the beast horde on the ground was energized and launched an even more reckless charge.
The real final battle has finally begun.
"Charles, you and the base firepower handle the ground troops. Bai Yuekui, let's go! Decapitation strike!"
Chen Yuan made a swift decision: he had to eliminate this intelligent and terrifying being capable of commanding hordes of beasts as a priority.
Without hesitation, Bai Yuekui unfurled the Light Wings of the Pure Candle, and together with Chen Yuan, they transformed into two streaks of light, rushing straight towards the Netherwing Beast King hovering in the air.
"cut!"
Charles pursed his lips, but still controlled the Abyss to smash into the ground beast horde, its life essence tentacles dancing wildly as it went all out.
"All combat units, activate anti-aircraft firepower and cover Ms. Bai and Lord Chen at all costs."
Commander Lin's voice also came through the command channel.
In an instant, the battlefield was divided into two parts?
Below, Charles and the base's defenders joined forces to fight against a tsunami of ground-based Devouring Beasts and low-flying Shadowwing Beasts that kept diving down to harass them; the battle was fierce.
Above, Chen Yuan and Bai Yuekui were engaged in a fierce aerial battle with the Ghost Wing Beast King.
A cruel glint flashed in the eyes of the Ghostwing Beast King as it watched the two charging towards it.
It did not take action itself for the time being. Hundreds of exceptionally strong, clearly elite, ghost-winged beasts immediately gathered around, forming a dense defensive formation, while simultaneously spewing dense barrages of red energy at the two of them.
Chen Yuan and Bai Yuekui moved through the barrage of bullets like ghosts, using their pulse particle cannons at full power to eliminate any elite winged beasts blocking their path.
Bai Yuekui was as fast as lightning. Every time her light sword flashed, a winged beast was cut in half. Being below the fifth rank posed no obstacle to her.
The two worked in perfect coordination, one using ranged firepower to suppress and clear the area, and the other using close-range attacks to kill, quickly closing in on the Ghostwing Beast King.
The Ghostwing Beast King suddenly opened its massive maw, unleashing a dark red wave of destructive energy that was thicker and several times more concentrated than any other Ghostwing Beast, directly covering Chen Yuan and Bai Yuekui's path.
The distance is too close to avoid it.
"careful!"
Chen Yuan reacted extremely quickly, and the six mechanical wings on the back of the Loongson 9 instantly combined into a huge energy shield in front of him.
Bai Yuekui's eyes gleamed as he held the Pure Candlelight Sword horizontally in front of him, the sword emitting a dazzling golden light that formed a protective shield.
"boom!!!!"
A devastating energy wave struck their defenses, causing Chen Yuan's energy shield to flicker violently as the nanounits frantically repaired themselves.
