Chapter 959: Chapter 959
Osmond’s roar stirred the haze of the entire gray sky!
Cannon fire exploded, unleashing a crimson burst!
On the snow-covered and shrub-clad hills, countless Extraordinary Creatures with bone wings spread out. Under the sudden bombardment from the "big guy," a blazing sea of fire spread above the hills!
Lin Lin remained calm, multitasking while piloting the Source Energy Boats and glancing at the Extraordinary Radar detected by the Deep Sea.
"Triumph Team members detected."
This hill is the mission location for the Triumph Team!
The reason they haven’t sent a response is because they’re trapped in a fierce battle... Seeing these bone-winged creatures is really bad news; it means the images Fisher transmitted are happening everywhere, with the twelve [Doors] scattered across the upper part of the Duolu River possibly continuously sending Extraordinary Creatures into the Disaster Realm!
Osmond maintained absolute calm and focus, glanced at the radar, and continued advancing towards the middle of the Duolu River.
That previous shot greatly relieved the pressure on the Triumph Team.
Now his task is to keep the "big guy" moving forward, allowing the main control boat to smash these evil ghosts from all sides, creating an opportunity for the task force members to escape!
Fiery cannon fire spewed intensely across the gray sky.
The bone-winged creatures shrieked miserably and fell.
They were shattered into pieces, blasted into blood mist, and the heavy smoke rising alongside the near-sky-shattering sound of cannon fire was an encouragement to the North Continent Transcendents!
The main control boat is on its way forward and it already knows what they’ve encountered!
All teams began escaping towards the main section of the Duolu River!
The thunderous sound of the cannons could be heard even at Black Snow Mountain.
Lu Zhe was hovering amidst the black snow.
He had already reached the summit, the overwhelming noise made him open his eyes, but the mountaintop was shrouded in mist and black debris, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t see the outside scene.
Yet the sounds of the main boat’s firing seemed to be getting closer to him.
He didn’t know what was happening outside, but he could guess what would happen next... Soon, the cannon fire from the main control boat would reach Black Snow Mountain, were these cannon sounds a reminder to him?
Or perhaps some kind of hint about external information.
The team leader lifted his head.
He inexplicably felt a chill.
As if something powerful had targeted him.
Lu Zhe slowly looked towards the mountaintop of Black Snow Mountain, and amidst the heavy snow, a familiar figure slowly walked out.
To be precise, it floated out.
That person had feet off the ground...
Lu Zhe saw the "himself" replicated by Black Snow Mountain and chuckled softly, "This is an astonishing power, replicating a Transcendent in a Dream... Even the abilities can be perfectly replicated, with some time, you could possibly deceive even the Investigation Corps?"
The replica Lu Zhe in the darkness smiled slightly, not commenting on the statement.
A crisp sound twisted.
Lu Zhe, expressionless, extended his palm and from a hundred meters away, pressed down on the replica’s head, then twisted both hands apart.
The replica’s eyes widened, unable to react before the head was twisted off directly!
Lu Zhe was somewhat disappointed.
This replica’s strength was too weak.
So where did the powerful aura that targeted him originate?
He continued walking forward, about to descend the mountain peak when a violent sound of breaking wind suddenly arose behind him.
A beam of extremely fast bright light pierced through the black snow, transforming into a black line!
This beam of light directly pierced Lu Zhe’s head... but instead of exploding it, a part of the space seemed to be distorted, disappearing into thin air, with dense smoke swaying in the wind.
The team leader’s expression turned grim.
He stared intently at the snow layer in front that had been shot through with a dark hole, the power of this strike was extremely terrifying... Though it contained little Extraordinary Essence, its cohesion was very strong, as if the user had grasped some method for efficiently operating the essence.

Compress the essence, compress it again, and finally shoot it out!
If it weren’t for mastering "Space Ability," being shot... he would already be dead.
On Black Snow Mountain, anyone emitting light would be engulfed by "Mirror Dream," drawn into another nightmare world.
Lu Zhe turned around and saw a figure suspended in the air.
He furrowed his brows, a little puzzled.
That figure looked very human-like, but it wasn’t human... The naked, robust physique with large bone wings was incredibly oppressive, adding horns to the sides of the head would resemble the "Demon" rumored in Light City.
But what truly caught Lu Zhe’s attention...
Was the blood dripping from the fingertip of that demon.
It had just been through a battle.
And emerged victorious.
As a Spiritual Transcendent, Lu Zhe was very familiar with the spiritual aura of each task force leader undertaking the restart mission, and could identify it through blood and sweat...
That warm drop of blood fell onto the snow.
He identified from the blood’s spiritual aura that it was the blood of the Deep Scale Team leader.
Lu Zhe’s voice was somewhat hoarse, he raised his head, looking at the demon, "What did you do to him?"
Suspended in the air, the demon hearing this voice couldn’t help but smile.
It extended one finger and slowly wagged it.
Meaning... This person, doesn’t cut it.
Then he looked at Lu Zhe, revealing a provocatively interested gaze.
"So... you can understand human language, huh..."
He understood the spiritual fluctuations this creature sent towards him, and also understood the reason for the external main control boat’s fierce shelling... Losing contact with twelve [doors] at the same time indeed heralded the occurrence of a major disaster.
This guy came from the [Old World].
Obviously, outside Black Snow Mountain now, there are likely massive waves of Extraordinary Creatures pouring in, but elites should be very rare... otherwise, the main control boat wouldn’t have a chance to fire and would be directly sunk.
Is this specifically here to hunt strong ones?
Lu Zhe’s thoughts were interrupted by the long, complex chanting of ancient texts.
He furrowed his brows.
The tall figure suspended in the air suddenly started murmuring something.
The obscure chanting of ancient texts stirred up a massive storm at Black Snow Mountain, and the gigantic creature suddenly gripped the snow in the void, turning it into a spear, then fiercely thrust it down.
Lu Zhe immediately started moving.
He almost instantly moved sideways in a manner akin to instantaneous movement—
But the speed of the black snow spear was even faster, unfolding instantaneous movement along with him!
This spear traversed hundreds of meters, directly piercing through his shoulder, shooting him from the air and pinning him firmly against a stone wall on the mountain top!
A heavy, muffled sound!
Lu Zhe hung his head low, scattered hair obscuring his expression.
The Extraordinary Creature floating in the air, seeing this scene, shook its head.
It slowly descended, gazing at this "new human strongman" that had been pinned to the stone wall by itself, sensing it as the "strongest" since its descent... it was so easily beaten... The tall figure’s eyes were full of disappointment.
Nearly nailed to death... couldn’t even feel much of the spiritual aura.
It shook its head again with a single finger.
"You, too, are inadequate."
The spiritual fluctuation carried without concealment its contempt and ridicule.
In the [Old World], the law of the jungle was played out to the extreme.
The weak should be killed.
It’s a pity that these people living in peaceful times, have long forgotten the reality of true battle.
It reached out its palm intending to press against Lu Zhe’s cheek.
"I’m quite curious..."
A confused, hoarse voice lightly echoed.
It was slightly stunned.
"With your kind of power, shouldn’t have been able to kill Fisher..."
Lu Zhe, who was pinned to the stone wall, slowly lifted his head.
The wind blew by, stray hairs fluttering.
The back end of the spear cracked with a snap, falling onto the snow.
And Lu Zhe, still maintained his feet off the ground, nailed against the stone wall; floating mid-air was long since a habit for him.
While the "spear" that was supposed to pierce through his body, in the moment of contact, was directly severed into two by the twisting power of space, appearing to run through his shoulder, but in reality, not a drop of blood flowed from his body...
After a brief contemplation, Lu Zhe roughly understood the significance of this drop of blood.
"Foolish ones from the [Old World]."
He spoke with some pity, saying: "Perhaps you don’t even know what the Undead are..."
Each drop of blood spilled by Fisher would ignite his life.
At this moment, the Living Fish, after experiencing a "rekindling," would only become stronger.
"You won’t understand, seeking me out... what a foolish act it is."
The squad captain wore a genuinely mocking expression.
The tall creature’s pupils contracted.
It wasn’t distracted in the slightest, but the Lu Zhe "nailed" in the wall before it simply vanished into thin air!
The intense sensation of crisis made it instinctively take a step back.
It bumped into someone.
Lu Zhe softly said, "Although you and I are both Fourth-order Transcendents... there is a ’chasm’ between fourth order to fourth order."
The tall creature abruptly turned around and extended its five fingers, but grasped nothing but air.
It then opened its mouth to chant ancient texts, the silhouette that vanished instantaneously returned, pressing a firm palm against its cheek, pinning it to the ground.
The vast spiritual power, as boundless as the sea, squeezed into its Spirit Sea.
Lu Zhe completely suppressed this creature’s "ancient chanting" both physically and spiritually.
"You probably aren’t aware... that many years ago, Her Majesty the Empress already thought of a title to bestow upon me?"
He never took the title.
Simply because he didn’t want it.
A Titled Transcendent should obtain a higher status, but being a squad captain of the Investigation Corps seemed too low, yet Lu Zhe wasn’t concerned with vanity; he cared more for the development of the entire corps.
This secret was only known by the Lord of the Legion throughout the Investigation Corps.
In recent years, the reason why the Lord of the Legion could guard the ancient castle in peace was because there was Lu Zhe, such an absolutely stable squad captain, within the Investigation Corps who wouldn’t falter.
This was a Fourth-order Peak monster maintaining the "Super Realm."
The tall creature struggled strenuously.
But the fingers of the man before it, as heavy as a mountain.
Lu Zhe said expressionlessly, "Farewell, I won’t see you off."
A burst of blood splattered.
The spirit sea of the Fourth-order Transcendent creature was blown apart , with Lu Zhe still maintaining the posture of pressing down with one hand, yet his clothes remained spotless, with not a trace of blood staining them.
