Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 395 News of the Trial

Shangjing.

Outside the portal to the Chaotic Lands, half a million people had gathered, a dense crowd that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Although there were many people, the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat deathly quiet and tense.

At this moment, men, women, and children put their hands together and prayed silently.

Pray that the soldiers and volunteers will return safely.

Praying we can get the key!

I pray that life can continue to be this peaceful.

With war looming, people truly realized how fortunate they were to have a peaceful life!
Don't expect too much!
Being able to be with family, go to and from get off work every day, and have three meals a day is already a great privilege!
This peaceful life was bought with the lives of many soldiers and martial artists.

"I wonder what the situation is now?"

"I want to know how many superhumans Lin Feng's team has hunted down? Over a thousand? I heard they've even killed five or six kings!"

"Not just, after so much time has passed, there should be seven or eight, or even more than ten."

"Lin Feng's team is truly domineering. They were like that when they blocked the Jade Seal spatial gate last time, and they are doing it again this time when they are fighting for the key!"

"[Substitute] Soul Skill! With [Transformation] added to that, Lin Feng now possesses two god-level Soul Skills. That's insane!"

Some people were praying, while others were discussing.

Although the government has not explicitly stated this, everyone knows that they are at a disadvantage in this battle for the keys.

However, the performance of Lin Feng's team was like a shot in the arm, making everyone excited and expectant.

Amidst the crowd and listening to the discussions around them, Lin Fang and her family felt both proud and worried.

More than these praises, they hoped that Lin Feng would return safely!
Safety is more important than anything else!

Every time they heard how many people Lin Feng's team had killed and who they had killed, they didn't feel excited; instead, they felt more worried.

But there was nothing they could do but pray.

"My son, be safe and sound!"

Lin Fang kept her eyes closed. Ever since Lin Feng entered the chaotic place, her body had been trembling slightly, uncontrollably.

"Mom, would you like something to eat?"

Supporting her mother, Lin Kerou was very worried.

My mother hadn't eaten all day, only drunk some water, and was severely exhausted, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered!
Lin Fang simply shook her head, offering no reply, nor ceasing her prayers.

She wanted to see her son return with her own eyes.

Only then would she feel at ease!

She didn't care whether she got the key or not.

Compared to her son, nothing else matters.

Just as everyone was praying, a commotion suddenly broke out from somewhere, and soon screams of terror followed.

"Failed!"

"The key has been taken by the supernatural being!"

"It has failed!"

"The volunteers have begun their retreat!"

People kept shouting, their voices filled with despair and sorrow!

Some people even burst into tears, staring blankly in the direction of the chaos.

This sudden news felt like the apocalypse, turning everyone pale and bloodless.

My expectations and hopes were shattered!

"How is this possible? How could this happen?"

Some people looked bewildered and terrified, unable to accept this cruel news. Their minds went blank, they swayed, and finally, they closed their eyes and fainted, only to be quickly supported by those around them.

Lin Fang shuddered, her whole body sweating profusely. Despite the sweltering summer heat, she felt a chill. Her lips twitched involuntarily, but no sound came out.

Not getting the key was certainly disheartening, but what she really wanted to know was whether Lin Feng was safe.

Are there any injuries?
Are they on their way back?
"The key fight failed, why hasn't anyone come out yet?"

"Yeah, is this news fake? Why haven't any wounded people come out?"

While people were filled with fear and anxiety, they also raised questions.

They even began to doubt the veracity of the news!

The rule for this key-grabbing battle is that you can only enter and not leave, but if you have already lost, you can naturally leave.

The news has already spread, so logically someone should have come forward!
Why is there no one here, not even any wounded?
"Yes, it's definitely fake!"

Some people, still shaken, said that while they seemed certain, it was mostly just self-comfort and self-deception.

How could such a message be wrong?
No one dared to spread rumors!
Within minutes of the news spreading, Beijing and even the entire country were plunged into an atmosphere of despair.

No one was in the mood to work; everyone was waiting for the final news.

In the conference room.

Hong Tao and his two companions remained on the battlefield, listening to the latest battle reports and casualty figures every half hour.

After giving the report, the soldiers didn't dare linger and quickened their pace to leave.

Although Hong Tao and the other two suppressed their breathing, he still felt heavy and had difficulty breathing.

"It's all settled!"

Hong Tao sat in his seat, stroking the gold bracelet on his left wrist, and said calmly.

He was not surprised by the result.

In the chaotic land, the Outcasts hold an absolute advantage, whether in terms of preparation time, numbers and strength, or deployment.

He had anticipated failure and had even made final preparations.

The only thing that surprised him was the appearance of the novice monk. The novice monk had only appeared once a week ago, and his reappearance this time likely meant he had been hypnotized by the supernatural being again.

Fortunately, this did not affect his plans!
Compared to Hong Tao's composure, Chen Tian and Xie Chun's expressions were exceptionally solemn.

Now that Tian Di has obtained the key, and there are three kings protecting him in the Flower Eclipse Realm, the battle for the key can indeed be declared a failure!
Some people have already begun to evacuate.

"What a pity, the casualties are so heavy!"

Chen Tian shook his head and said helplessly.

Hearing the latest casualty figures, even he felt heavy-hearted and pained.

The soldiers were almost all killed or wounded, the number of geniuses killed or wounded exceeded three hundred, and even the number of kings killed exceeded thirty.

And this is still the most conservative estimate.

"Compared to us, the Inhumans have died far more!"

Xie Chun said.

They already knew the results of Lin Feng's team; they had killed at least a thousand people, including more than ten kings.

No other team can match this glorious record.

Lin Feng's team consisted of only fourteen people, or fifteen even with the medium, yet they still managed to kill more than one-tenth of the superhumans.

Even they were amazed by this achievement.

Even they probably couldn't achieve such a hunting speed.

Although Lin Feng and his group did not join the fight for the key, it does not diminish their achievements.

Their presence relieved the pressure on the other teams.

The failure to win the key was due not only to a lack of strength but also to a great deal of luck, especially since no one knew that a god-level barrier like the Flower Eclipse Realm would appear.

The fight for the key failed, but the losses suffered by the Extraordinary Ones were far greater, which was the only consolation.

"Is that enough? These laughable casualties are far from enough!"

Hong Tao said, his tone icy: "These casualties are nothing to the six major powers. They will only be afraid and dare not merge with the second spatial gate if they are all dead, without a single one left!"

"What can decide the outcome of this war are top-tier combat power, Martial Emperors and Transcendents. Kings are not enough to change the course of the war! Moreover, on the Divine Martial Continent, the number of Kings is three or four times that of us!"

"So, a few more deaths don't matter to them!"

At this point, Hong Tao's tone was tinged with sarcasm: "To the emperors, kings and geniuses are worthless. No matter how many die, they will not be afraid!"

"Our goal is to instill fear in the kings and geniuses of the superhumans! We want to give them a lesson from the past, a bloody and painful historical lesson! So that they will tremble with fear at the mere thought of it, and then no one will dare to join the next fusion of spatial gates!"

After speaking, Hong Tao slowly stood up and prepared to leave the conference room.

But soon he stopped. A figure appeared before him. Chen Tian looked at Hong Tao and said seriously, "Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course I know!"

Hong Tao remained calm and said, "I'm prepared! I will bear all the consequences!"

"I'm afraid you can't afford it!" Chen Tian sneered.

"You want to fight me?" Hong Tao asked.

"and many more!"

Xie Chun also stood in front of Hong Tao, saying in a solemn tone, "The novice monk has already appeared. If everyone dies, even if you have a reason, it will still make people suspicious."

Many of these people are descendants of emperors. You may not be afraid, but this suspicion will turn into distrust. If you encounter this situation again, I'm afraid no one will step forward; no one wants to become a sacrifice!

Faced with their persuasion, Hong Tao smiled and said, "When the Divine Martial Continent truly invades, no one can remain uninvolved."

Chen Tiangeng looked even angrier and said, "Even so, what's the point of dragging this out for ten or eight years!"

“Delaying for a few years doesn’t really make much sense, but in the Chaotic Lands, there are more superhumans than us, not to mention there are six royal-level demonic beasts inside.”

Hong Tao said calmly.

Seeing Hong Tao's stubbornness, Chen Tian was both angry and helpless, because they simply couldn't stop him.

Furthermore, Hong Tao has supporters, quite a few in fact. Otherwise, he would never have dared to act so recklessly on his own!
"But those are the future of humanity!"

Chen Tian questioned louder, his voice choked with emotion.

Those volunteers never imagined that they would become victims after fighting to the death!

From the moment they entered the Chaotic Lands, it was already decided that they would never come out!
If these geniuses and kings die, it means that humanity has no future!
Hong Tao sneered:

"If an invasion really happens, what future can we talk about?"

"but."

Xie Chun wanted to say something more, but Hong Tao was too lazy to listen and didn't intend to leave. He directly changed his hand seals, and the speed became faster and faster, causing the air to vibrate and distort slightly.

Watching Hong Tao's ever-changing handprints, Chen Tian wanted to forcefully stop him even more. Hong Tao looked at him, his eyes filled with a stern warning. Just as the two were about to clash, a soldier's voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Third Emperor, Dong Yunan from Lin Feng's team requests an audience, saying he has important intelligence to report!"

Dong Yunan!
Hong Tao and his two companions vaguely recognized the name, but hadn't she entered the Chaotic Land?
The portal has been heavily guarded; how did we get out?
"Come in!"

Chen Tian quickly replied.

Hong Tao also stopped making handprints, his eyes flickering slightly.

Important information?!
What kind of intelligence could be so important that it wasn't reported to others, but instead went directly to the three emperors?
The door opened, and Dong Yunan followed behind the soldier. She came in without saying a word and said directly to the soldier who was leading the way, "Could you please go out for a moment?"

The tone was polite, but it conveyed an unquestionable authority.

Without hesitation, the soldier quickly left and closed the door.

What important information do you have?

Xie Chun looked at Dong Yunan and asked.

She didn't ask Dong Yunan how she escaped the chaotic land; that wasn't important. Facing the gazes of the three emperors, Dong Yunan looked somewhat nervous, but knowing the value of time, she didn't waste any and quickly said:
"Lin Feng has already entered the Flower Erosion Realm! And no one has noticed."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent after those words were spoken.
