Dark clouds crowded the sky, filled with constantly flashing arcs of electricity that enshrouded the area below in a shadow of despair that made all living things hopeless.

A man wreathed in dark aura hovered above the shadow.

Accompanied by bursts of thunder and lightning, the man looked down from on high at Yuan Dongzhi below, his gaze towards Yuan Dongzhi as if looking at an ant, full of disdain.

Under the oppression of the powerful aura emanating from the man, Yuan Dongzhi found it difficult to breathe, a fine sweat beading on her forehead and back, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Although Yuan Dongzhi was a famous female powerhouse on Earth, with a high status, revered by others,

Her Biological Level was only Third Order Rare.

To an Epic Level Expert, a creature of this level was no different from an ant.

"If I’m not mistaken, you and that burnt old man below should be mates,"

The man said in a dead and somber voice before he added, "If you kill him with your own hands, I’ll spare your life and let you be my bed slave."

This Epic Level Alien who came from the Land of Oblivion had his eyes on Yuan Dongzhi’s body, which was alluring to the point of being somewhat indecent, and planned to bring her back to the Land of Oblivion for thorough "training."

Hearing these words, a flash of revulsion passed fleetingly through Yuan Dongzhi’s eyes.

Then, without any hesitation, she immediately unleashed her spiritual power at its maximum limit and dove at the fastest speed towards Liu Chuanwu below.

Seeing this, a glint of anticipation could not help but surface in the man’s eyes.

A woman forced to kill her own partner for survival, then submitting to her enemy to cling to life—this scene was his favorite kind of drama to watch.

Every time he personally witnessed such a plot, it excited him to the peak of arousal.

"Buzz!"

With a flurry of whooshing sounds, Yuan Dongzhi quickly reached Liu Chuanwu in the blink of an eye, under the man’s watchful gaze.

Then, under the man’s expectant eyes, she reached out to grab Liu Chuanwu and fled at the highest speed with him in tow.

She might not be able to defeat the man, but that didn’t necessarily mean she couldn’t escape.

As long as one was brave enough to try, anything was possible.

"Escaping?"

The man looked down at Yuan Dongzhi, who was fleeing at high speed with Liu Chuanwu, and couldn’t help but laugh, "What a foolish woman, not cherishing a chance to wriggle out of death, she chooses death instead."

After speaking, he turned into a large mass of black fog, chasing down Yuan Dongzhi with a speed far surpassing her escape, catching up to her in the blink of an eye.

Below.

Yuan Dongzhi still harbored hopes of escaping to safety.

However, just as she flew less than ten thousand meters with Liu Chuanwu, her space above was suddenly blanketed by a vast black fog, darkening the surroundings in an instant.

Then, without giving her a chance to react, an enormous palm reached out from the fog, descending upon her with an overwhelming force like the night eclipsing day.

Sensing the danger, Yuan Dongzhi unleashed her spiritual power in a frenzy, trying to break free from the shadow enveloping her.

Unfortunately, an attack from an Epic Level Creature wasn’t something she, a Rare creature, could dodge.

And very soon.

With a loud "boom,"

Yuan Dongzhi and Liu Chuanwu, who were flying low and at high speed, were struck by the enormous palm as if hitting a fly, "crashing" heavily onto the ground, cracking the earth and kicking up dust into the air.

"Buzz!"

The enormous palm waved lightly, and the dust instantly dissipated.

Immediately after, a deep crater riddled with a web of cracks starkly appeared on the ground.

At the center of the crater, there were two figures, half of their bodies buried in the earth.

It was none other than Yuan Dongzhi and Liu Chuanwu, who had just been knocked down by a single palm.

The former was severely injured, bleeding from the seven orifices.

The latter was even more grievously wounded, completely unconscious, his life force nearly exhausted, teetering on the brink of death.

...

At the same time.

In other areas of the battlefield, the situation was just as bleak.

A multitude of Earth’s powerhouses lay dead or wounded.

Song Yuyan, who had previously taken a moment to check on Yuan Dongzhi’s injuries, was now critically wounded with a bloody hole in her abdomen, lying on the ground gasping for breath, waiting for death to come in despair.

Likewise, Li Chuxin, Luo Yongjian, Li Moyu, Ma Xiwei, Zhou Xuehong, Ma Zhenhe, and other teachers and students from Shanhai University were all severely injured, powerless against the invasion of the Alien Races.

Nearly everyone on Earth’s side had lost the will to fight, quietly awaiting death.

The entire battlefield was a complete rout.

The outcome of the battle was already clear.

Given the situation, it was only a matter of time before City No. 36 would fall to the Alien Races.

The skies above the battlefield were shrouded in despair.

...

Within the massive crater.

Yuan Dongzhi stabilized her injures as best as she could, struggling to pull her half-submerged body out of the ground and then immediately checking on Liu Chuanwu’s condition.

Seeing that Liu Chuanwu was critically injured with his life force almost extinguished, Yuan Dongzhi became anxious.

Without hesitation, Yuan Dongzhi quickly took out a blood-red Elixir and forced it into Liu Chuanwu’s mouth, barely keeping him alive to prevent complete death.

Then, Yuan Dongzhi’s thoughts moved, and she controlled the groundwater beneath the crater to burst forth, creating an opening on the surface of the crater.

Next, she tossed Liu Chuanwu into the opening, letting the groundwater carry him away from the battlefield.

After all she had done.

Yuan Dongzhi soared into the air, fleeing in the opposite direction of the groundwater flow, prepared to sacrifice herself to create a chance for Liu Chuanwu to escape.

All the above happened in the blink of an eye.
