Chapter 848: Humanity’s hope

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Like what Tian Zhenxing had said, space agencies around the world discovered a large unknown spacecraft orbiting near Earth a week ago. It had released dozens of giant golden spinning tops made of metal. Those spinning tops were about eight stories tall. They could spin at high speed, creating violent Level-12 tornadoes in their trail. Everywhere those tops went, they destroyed buildings, bridges, forests, and everything else with ease.

It was a global disaster, and countries around the world launched a counterattack immediately. But machine guns and bombardments could not destroy them. America even used its nuclear weapons to blow up these deadly spinning tops and the orbiting mothership. But to the alien race, those nuclear weapons were nothing more than children’s toys.

They deployed a unique high-technology particle system that intercepted the nuclear missiles fired at the spacecraft and formed a shield around the missiles. The particle system exploded the bombs within this shield and contained the damage. The space outside the system did not suffer any damage.

The alien invaders had more advanced technology than the humans!

The entire world was in a state of panic. Devastated by the alien spinning tops, the world population plummeted and humanity now faced a catastrophe never experienced before. It was in such a situation that three superior fighters appeared, just like the immortal cultivators one read about in novels. They split the alien spinning tops in half with a slash of their blades. After destroying all the alien spinning weapons, a lone figure emerged from the spacecraft.

The alien warrior wore a mechanical suit over his body like Iron Man. His body glowed as he fought these three superior fighters from Earth. The fight was intense and caused great destruction. The force generated from their battle sent waves of high energy across space, shattering everything in its path. Government agencies over the world witnessed the intense battle between Earth’s defenders and the invading alien warrior from satellite images.

The battle lasted three days and three nights, and it took place above the Hua Nation territory. Their ferocious battle flattened Taishan Mountain, turned the Bohai Sea into dry land, and the Capital became a vast abyss. The alien race fought against the humans and ultimately achieved victory. The warrior from the alien race defeated Earth’s three superior fighters, who managed to escape.

The news surprised Xiao Luo. The three superior fighters, who defended Earth, should be Elder Long, Tianshan Elder, and his master, Xiao Quanren. Even their combined strength could not defeat the alien warrior? How was it possible?

“Where is the NSA at now?” Xiao Luo asked urgently. At that point, what was most important to him was to confirm the safety of the people important to him.

“Jiangcheng!” Tian Zhenxing replied.

He said, then added, “All of our Hua Nation government officials are in Jiangcheng now. They have established a secret base there and transferred all the country’s most important people there for protection. All surviving NSA members are there as well.”

“Thank you for letting me know.”

Xiao Luo thanked him, then nodded his head at his two former team members, Liu Yiyao and Si Yueting. He turned and soared into the sky.

Everyone at the survivor base stared at him with their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Tian Zhenxing was stunned as well, but after witnessing the battle between the three superior fighters and the alien warrior a couple of days ago, he could accept anything he saw. He realized that there was a group of really extraordinary cultivators in this world. They could maintain a youthful appearance and were virtually invincible.

He bowed to Xiao Luo, now soaring in the sky, and whispered, “The hope of humanity rests on your shoulders. We are counting on you!”

Since the NSA was in Jiangcheng, Xiao Luo hoped the people related to him were there with them. Zhang Dashan, Su Xiaobei, and the rest should have left Xiahai together with NSA. Xiao Luo comforted himself as he headed toward Jiangcheng.

“Su Xiaobei is at my side.”

Suddenly, Su Li flew next to him, taking the form of a Divine Light. She told him where Su Xiaobei was as she gazed into the distant sky.

Xiao Luo was a little stunned at first, but a smile formed on his face.

“My God, isn’t that Goddess Su who has disappeared over two months ago?”

“Right, right, right… it is her. It looks like she is also a cultivator.”

“Oh, my God, Goddess Su is a cultivator. No wonder she always looks like a Divine Being, way above us ordinary human beings.”

The people at the survivor base below were in a state of frenzy. It was bad enough that their world had turned upside down, but now they even saw a familiar person change into a mighty being with invincible powers. The shock and psychological impact that they experienced traumatized them.

“Seems like you are not a heartless person!”

Xiao Luo said with a smile at Su Li, and added, “But why are you so cruel to me? Do you have to be cruel toward your man to keep a strong cultivation level?”

Su Li did not answer and instead turned her face the other way.

The Four Kings of the Light Clan and their assistants hovered in the air a distance away, and they did not look like they were planning to follow them.

“Curisa once said that the Light Clan’s Granny Witch predicted a Great Archenemy was going to appear and bring devastation to this world. The Great Archenemy should be the alien race that has now invaded Earth. He also opened up a passageway between the Original World and Arcana Land and is most probably planning to invade Arcana Land next. As the Lord of Arcana Land, you shoulder the responsibility of protecting thousands of spirits in Arcana Land. It is the reason you gave up our relationship and put all your attention on protecting Arcana Land. Am I right?” Xiao Luo asked.

Su Li glanced at him with no expression on her face, refusing to answer his question, as usual.

Xiao Luo smiled as he shook his head, and said, “You do not have to give me an answer. But once we have defeated the invading alien race, you will still have to be my wife and my woman. So what if you are the high and mighty Lord of Arcana Land? In my eyes, you are my woman!”

After saying that, he gazed at Su Li for a short while, then turned into a ray of light, flying rapidly toward Jiangcheng.

“Screw his ducking grandfather. God damn brat, you were damn cool back there. You are probably the first person in history who has unleashed his domineering side and had the guts to talk to the Lord of Arcana Land like that.” Duck Emperor admired him and could not help praising him.

Xiao Luo brushed it aside and said, “She is my woman. It is a fact which will not change.”

“Oh, sh*t. It is why I admire you so much. Did you not see the Holy Lord’s pair of angry eyes? Screw her ducking grandfather. I was about to pee in my pants,” said Duck Emperor.

“…”

Xiao Luo was speechless as he raced toward Jiangcheng.

Smoke covered the entire Hua Nation. Every city he flew over was in complete ruin. He could no longer find any of the beautiful landscaped he had seen previously. The destruction he witnessed was catastrophic.

He arrived at Jiangcheng in about ten minutes.

The Jiangcheng he was familiar with bristled with high-rise buildings, had clean roads, and was spacious. It was a green city, and trees with colorful flowers lined both sides of the road. Jiangcheng was a beautiful city with an efficient transportation infrastructure and excellent retail establishments.

Now, all he saw in front of him were badly damaged buildings with wrecked steel bars sticking out of cracked walls.

At the corner of Gong Village stood the ninety-six-story building where he lived on the top floor. In a city of ruins, it was the only structure still left standing upright. Although the building looked damaged with cracks all over, it stood upright like a warrior.
