674: Chapter 674 The Last Line of Defense

"Wendi, I leave it to you!"

Nangong Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in his heart, "I am going to transfer her now. The hope of the Tianling Lineage is entrusted to you!"

Nangong Wendi nodded solemnly, "This subordinate will certainly live up to the trust!"

Nangong Tian watched his retreating back, only withdrawing his gaze after a moment.

He walked quickly to the command console and opened the internal communication channel.

"Pass down the order: immediately transfer that Human Race girl to Area A7, escorted by the Blood Kill Guard throughout the entire journey. Do not allow any mistakes! Additionally, activate the final fortress's teleportation channel; I need to go over there personally!"

He took one last look at the beautiful scenery here, gritted his teeth, and turned to walk toward a secret door deep in the command room.

Chen Yun was sitting on the edge of the bed in that presidential suite, lost in thought.

The darkness outside the window was eternal and unchanging; she had already gotten used to it.

Being drained of power twice a day, eating three meals, and sleeping for ten hours—her life was more regular than an alarm clock!

She had already given up hope, perhaps she would spend her whole life here!

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

It was not the usual expressionless maid, but several heavily armed silver-armored warriors.

Two of them stepped forward, grabbing Chen Yun's arms from left and right, and dragged her off the bed.

"You—what are you doing?"

Chen Yun was startled, but no one answered her.

Their movements were rough but not enough to hurt her. They carried her quickly out of the room, through the corridor, and through one door after another!

Along the way, she saw many scenes she had never seen before: busy researchers, patrolling soldiers, activated instruments, flashing indicator lights, countless mechanical soldiers, and spaceships—

Everyone's face carried suppressed tension, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of impending disaster.

Chen Yun was brought to an area she had never been to before.

"Stand inside!"

"Eh, I understand—"

Chen Yun stumbled into the teleportation array.

She didn't know what had happened, nor did she know where they were sending her.

But she vaguely felt that someone very, very important was approaching her—

However, very quickly, the light of the teleportation array lit up and swallowed her figure!

—

Outside the Holy Land, the last layer of the barrier shattered under the combined bombardment of the five million-strong army.

The fragments turned into points of light in the sky and dissipated into the Void Realm!

Chen Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze passing through the dissipating light and landing on the massive palace complex in the distance.

Besides that, there were some discordant things.

Large numbers of mechanical soldiers floated in the sky. They had no life aura, only a cold metallic luster, dense and numerous like a plague of locusts!

Mixed among the mechanical soldiers were members of the Tianling Lineage wearing various types of battle armor. Their auras were uneven, ranging from Pseudo-Gods to Ancient Gods, but there were no God Emperors among them!

Chen Yi frowned slightly. There were so many people in the Tianling Lineage?

But come to think of it, it made sense. Eighty million years had passed; even if they were remote and isolated, it was enough for a force to multiply and grow!

Moreover, normally speaking, the world malice should be immortal!

Just as he was about to order the entire army to press forward, a figure flew out from the palace complex and landed in front of the two armies.

He was alone, without any attendants, and without any weapons.

"I am Nangong Wendi, Swordbearer of the Tianling Lineage. May I ask which esteemed adult is on the other side? Why have you mobilized such a large force to invade our Tianling Holy Land?"

Chen Yi looked at him without rushing to answer.

This person was an Ancient God, and his attributes were only one step away from a God Emperor!

In the Tianling Lineage, he must be a pivotal figure!

"Hand over Chen Yun, and you can reduce your crimes."

Nangong Wendi's brow twitched slightly.

Sure enough, their target was that girl!

Chen Yi did not attack right away, which meant there was still room for maneuver!

He needed to stall for time to give Nangong Tian a chance to transfer her!

"Esteemed adult, is the Chen Yun you speak of the girl captured from Earth?"

"To be honest, that girl is not in my hands right now. The authority to dispose of her lies with Nangong Tian, the person in charge of the Tianling Lineage!"

"I am just a Swordbearer and have no right to decide her fate. How about this: if you wait a moment, I will go back and report to Nangong Tian, and let him come to discuss with you personally?"

"Our Tianling Lineage has no grudge against you. The matter on Earth before was our fault—we are willing to compensate. You name your price: energy purple crystal, heaven and earth spiritual treasure, Cultivate resources—as long as you speak, we will not say a word against it!"

"I only ask that you raise your hand in mercy and spare us innocent clansmen. We have lived in hiding underground for eighty million years and have never gone out to harm anyone—"

Nangong Wendi spoke incessantly, his tone earnest and his expression sincere; every word sounded as if he were pleading for his clansmen.

But the more Chen Yi listened, the more something felt wrong!

This person was stalling for time!

He stopped listening to Nangong Wendi's nonsense and waved his hand.

A golden light surged from his palm, turning into an invisible giant hand that grabbed Nangong Wendi instantly.

Nangong Wendi didn't even have room to struggle before he was dragged in front of Chen Yi!

"You—"

Nangong Wendi's face changed drastically.

"Stalling for time? Did you think I wouldn't see through it?"

Nangong Wendi's lips trembled slightly.

He looked into Chen Yi's deep eyes and knew his intentions had been seen through.

He stopped struggling and speaking, simply closing his eyes and waiting silently for death.

"Emilia!"

"I understand!"

Emilia stepped out from behind him, her blood-red eyes fixed on Nangong Wendi.

As long as she took a sip of his blood, all the secrets of the Tianling Lineage would be exposed!

Nangong Wendi opened his eyes and saw those blood-red pupils, and a bone-chilling coldness surged in his heart!

He knew there was no way he could escape!

But he still had one last choice!

"The Tianling Lineage will surely return!"

As soon as the words fell, his body shook violently, and black blood spilled from his seven orifices simultaneously.

His eyes quickly unfocused, and his aura instantly faded!

He detonated his own Origin in the depths of his Soul—not a self-explosion, but suicide!

It was so fast that even Emilia couldn't stop it!

Nangong Wendi's body fell from the sky and dissipated into points of light before it even hit the ground.

The last sentence he left for this world was still echoing in the Void Realm—

This determination was truly outrageous!

Chen Yi looked at the dissipating points of light and was silent for a moment.

This actually made him more certain—this was indeed the lair of the Tianling Lineage, and Chen Yun was imprisoned here!

Since that was the case, he couldn't stop now!

He waved his hand and continued to announce: "Continue forward, break the last layer of the barrier."

"Yes!!!"

The five million-strong army roared in unison, and the attack rushed madly toward that last line of defense.

In just an instant, they shattered the final barrier, revealing the scene inside!

The Taihuang Land was displayed before his eyes without reservation at this moment!
