After some time, “It disappeared?”

Chen Yiming looked away from the moon.

His intuition told him that the shadow monster and the black light had not successfully escaped. Instead, they had used a method similar to sacrificing themselves to launch a higher level attack.

The reason he had such a feeling was because the feeling of hunger when the shadow mouth appeared had left an extremely deep impression on him.

Chen Yiming walked to the spot where the shadow monster had self-destructed.

There were three huge weapons, a sword, a flail, and a shield. They were slightly damaged, but unlike the other weapons, they had not exploded into pieces and become completely destroyed.

Because he was most familiar with swords, he picked up the huge sword.

He touched the surface of the sword. He did not know what it was made of, but it felt very compatible with him. Even those who were not good at swordsmanship would feel like they were one with the sword.

After playing with it for a while, he turned to look at the mysterious symbols on it.

“If only it could become bigger or smaller at will.”

Just as this thought appeared, something strange happened.

After absorbing a trace of the spiritual power from Chen Yiming's gaze, a simple connection was established between them.

This connection was like his spiritual power becoming a key that could be inserted into the sword to control it.

Immediately after, the huge sword quickly became smaller. He could feel that he could stop its shrinking at any time.

Finally, it shrank to the size of a small sword that was only a few inches long.

“What!”

Chen Yiming gasped and was stunned.

How else could he describe it? He could only sigh at how amazing the craftsmanship of this sword was.

In comparison, the forging techniques of weapons on the blue planet were simply inferior.

Not long after, Chen Yiming snapped out of his daze and used the same method to shrink the other two weapons.

At the same time, he returned to his normal size.

As for how to deal with the three weapons, he had not thought about it yet. In any case, their size was like that of small toys, and they were very convenient to carry around.

Before he left,

Chen Yiming collected the shattered pieces of the other weapons and looked up at the moon again. He confirmed his previous intuition.

The key to controlling the weapons was spiritual power, so there was still the problem of what would come next.

There was a high chance that the shadow monster was dead. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Chen Yiming's spiritual power to take over the weapons.

In the meeting room of the department dealing with the abnormal events, the martial master, Elder Zhang, the big shots of the military in Sichuan province, and the old professors of the research institute were all gathered here.

One of the six huge monitors in front of them was showing a live broadcast showing the moon.

The remaining five screens were showing the densely packed black shadows outside Sanjiang City, the eight-armed shadow monster, the giant, a large patch of red fog, and the shadow of a huge mouth that appeared on the surface of the moon.

At this moment, even Elder Zhang's face was tense.

The ‘black tide' from outer space was much more terrifying than he had imagined. It had actually left such a terrifying thing on the moon without the humans realizing it.

To humans, the appearance of the huge mouth shadow was a blow that could reduce their confidence.

At that time, just by looking at it through the screen, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. They felt like creatures at the bottom of the food chain who had encountered creatures at the top of the food chain.

They were fully at their mercy, and could not put up any resistance.

The commander of the southwest military region, Huang Baijun, said the same thing over and over again, “Are we really going to build a spaceship and escape into the unknown outer space?”

Finding a second planet that was suitable for humans to live on was not an idea that was born from the moment they saw the huge shadow mouth. Instead, it had been proposed by many experts since the invasion of the otherworld.

The surrounding people heard Huang Baijun's muttering, and the atmosphere became even more solemn.

How could a spaceship be so easy to build?

A planet that could support life was not something that could be found easily.

Over the years, a large amount of manpower and resources had been used up in the conflict with the mutant beasts.

The results of converting cutting-edge technology in the laboratory to practical applications had yet to be achieved due to money and other reasons.

However, it seemed that humans could only escape to outer space.

The new problem that followed was that the technology of the spaceship was far from mature. It was not even an exaggeration to say that if they really wanted to build a spaceship, they would have to solve the problems they encountered as they built it.

How far could a spaceship built like this travel after it left the blue planet? Could it successfully reach a new planet? Only the heavens knew.

Furthermore, the number of people the spaceship could hold was definitely limited. Could the countries work together? Who would board the ship? Who would be left behind?

The range and difficulty involved seemed to be completely shrouded in fog.

“Cough, cough!”

Elder Zhang coughed, waking everyone from their daze. He continued, “Whether we have a chance of winning against the black tide or not, we can talk about it when they return.”

Even though he also thought that humans could only escape, on the surface, someone needed to stand up to comfort everyone.

Seeing this, the provincial governor, Lin Qi, played along and said, “We don't have to be too negative. You have to know that the blue planet isn't something for them to be concerned about. The black tide is powerful, but will it use cannons to kill mosquitoes?”

As soon as he finished speaking, “That makes sense.”

“Indeed, that's a possibility.”

The atmosphere immediately eased up a lot, and Lin Qi's analogy was acknowledged by the others.

How much importance would be placed on the blue planet civilization that had yet to leave its native planet?

From the information they had gathered recently, the enemies related to the black tide were more interested in using their wits to defeat the humans, rather than relying on mobilizing a large army to overwhelm them.

This gave humans the time and space needed to make their choice.

Should they escape? Should they stall for time? Or should they do something else? It was far from the point where they had no other choice.

Time quickly passed by.

At some point, a communications officer jogged over and hurriedly knocked on the door.

The big shots in the military and the old professors of the research institute focused their gazes on the communications officer.

The communications officer brought good news. Chen Yiming had returned, and he had brought a large pile of junk with him.

With that, he let out a breath.

Being stared at by the big shots was too stressful.

Junk?

Everyone looked at each other and did not think much of it. It was fine as long as he returned safely.

Soon, everyone in the room walked out.

In front of the department, fragments of unknown materials were piled up like a small mountain, and even the plaque hanging at the door was covered.

It was surrounded by soldiers, and both ends of the street were blocked off by soldiers. The onlookers could only watch from afar.

Elder Zhang led the way, followed by a group of people, and arrived in front of Chen Yiming.

“This is?”

Elder Zhang had a puzzled expression on his face.

The battle between Chen Yiming and the shadow monster had been taking place in the array formation, so the others didn't know the exact situation inside.

“Ha! These are the fragments of the weapons from that shadow monster. I couldn't hold back in battle, so they are already broken,” Chen Yiming said with a smile.

“…Is this what the communications officer described as junk?”

The big shots in the military and the old professors in the research institute were dumbfounded.

Everyone had seen the scene of the shadow monster holding eight weapons. They just did not expect it to become like this.

Chen Yiming continued to explain, “The mysterious symbols on these weapon fragments should be very valuable for research.”

With that, in order to increase his persuasive power, he took out a small sword from his pocket.

“Watch carefully! This is one of the weapons that wasn't destroyed in the battle. It's an extraordinary weapon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, under everyone's shocked gazes, the small sword became larger and longer, finally stopping at a length of more than a meter.

At the same time, the mysterious symbols on it were activated one after another.

Chen Yiming had already tried his best to suppress the impact on the surroundings when the power of nature was triggered. However, from the reactions of Elder Zhang, the big shots, and the old professor,

they all instantly felt that they could not breathe. They were frightened by the aura that was revealed, and their minds went blank.

After less than a second, after letting everyone see how powerful this extraordinary weapon was, Chen Yiming controlled the sword again. The mysterious symbols went into an inactive state and disappeared from the sword.

Elder Zhang came back to his senses and took a deep breath. He sighed and said, “Extraordinary weapon, extraordinary weapon. The feeling it gave me just now was that I couldn't even withstand a single strike from it.”

Since even the martial master who had presided over the no man's land in the southwest for many years said this, the others were even more shocked and did not know what to say.

Looking at the mountain of weapon fragments, their eyes lit up. This was the best gift in the world.

“If only we could learn something useful from it. If we really can't develop anything that good, can we at least add these fragments to the hull when building the spaceship?”

Many old professors had this thought.

They could basically confirm that the performance of any material on the blue planet was definitely inferior to these weapon fragments.

If this idea worked, it would undoubtedly greatly increase the chances of a completed spaceship being able to fly smoothly in space.

The big shots of the military had another thought.

“Can we use a portion of these fragments to form a special unit?”

It had to be known that these fragments were of an extremely high quality. They could be reworked into weapons that could be equivalent to half of an extraordinary weapon.

With such a terrifying weapon in hand, they would definitely be a special unit that could be used as a trump card. At the critical moment, it might be of use.

After settling the arrangements for the mountain of weapon fragments, Chen Yiming and the others returned to the meeting room.

On one of the six monitors, the cameras were still pointing at the moon. On the remaining five monitors, the frozen scene did not change.

After Chen Yiming sat down, he glanced at the screen and gave out a shocking piece of news. After the shadow monster was eaten by the huge mouth, he could confirm that it was really dead.

“…”

For all of them, this was another turn of events.

Everyone had originally thought that the moon might be a base for the black tide, and that the shadow monsters had successfully escaped back to the base.

“Then has the threat of the ‘black tide' been resolved?”

a general in a military uniform was delighted and could not help but ask.

Chen Yiming shook his head and explained, “That's hard to say. It depends on the status of the shadow monster in the black tide.

If it's someone who doesn't have a high status, it might be resolved. If it's someone with a high status, we might face an even stronger enemy next time.”

In his heart, he was more inclined to believe that the shadow monster was arranged by the black tide to monitor the situation from the otherworld or was stationed there permanently.

This could be seen from the first exchange between the two sides and the dozens of black lights that flew out of the space-travel passage before the huge shadow mouth attacked.

“A stronger enemy!”

In the meeting room, many military and political big shots muttered softly.

Without a doubt, the death of the shadow monster was not necessarily a good thing.

However, it gave the humans more time to catch their breath. In fact, they could not even be sure of the time they had. The situation could still be getting worse.

The crisis that had enveloped the southwest provinces of the Daxia Kingdom was temporarily covered up, but the preparations for war and retreat were still underway in an orderly manner, especially the spaceship plan.

This plan was highly recommended by most of the experts and professors, and was also strongly supported by the elite warriors.

Therefore, the entire Daxia Kingdom was like a machine that was running at high speed, investing a huge amount of resources to research the various planets.

These were all planets that human civilization had once discovered and thought might be suitable for human survival.

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed, and autumn had turned into winter.

The cold wind howled and snow fell.

It may be due to the influence of the trial grounds, or because of the events happening on the moon, but the winter in the Daxia Kingdom had become exceptionally cold this year. It was snowing heavily almost all over the country, and the average temperature had dropped by about 10 degrees.

Chen Yiming returned home from the trial grounds and walked alone in the snow.

Wherever his figure passed, the air was distorted and blurred. An invisible aura spread out in all directions, and a mud road on which the snow had melted extended forward.

He had become even stronger.

Chen Yiming

Talent: Undying Body — Level 4, Giant — Level 3

Level: Inscription Realm

Physique: Basic Undying Giant Body

Sword Spirit

Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 5

Level: Inscription Realm

Physique: Intermediate Sword Body

Skill points: 5273

During this period of time, Chen Yiming felt that an even stronger enemy was about to arrive, so he spent almost all his time in the trial grounds.

He resisted the urge to launch countless attacks on the 10,000-meter-long corpse.

Letting it bleed, amputation its limbs, attacking its weak points…

The reason was that after his two attributes were upgraded, his physique had become stronger than ever.

This was the conclusion he had reached after testing it out on the 10,000-meter-long corpse.

He had the Level-4 Undying Body talent and the Level-3 Giant Talent. With both talents combined, he could suffer only light injuries from resisting the passive counterattack of the 10,000-meter-long corpse.

To Chen Yiming, such injuries could be healed in an instant and could be ignored.

At this moment, his cells were no longer connected by invisible paired links such that he had to rely on the transmission of his life force between them to quickly recover from his injuries.

Instead, the cells were connected by seven to eight links with the surrounding cells. Life force could flow freely through these invisible connections.

This allowed Chen Yiming to gather a large amount of life force into a certain part of his body. This was the reason why he could withstand the passive counterattack from the 10,000-meter-long corpse.

In addition, the upgrade of the Giant Talent not only made his physique stronger, but also made him taller and bigger. His ability to control the clouds and activate a gravitational field had also been upgraded.

In the unknown depths of his body, a spinning sphere had appeared.

This sphere could greatly increase the size of the giant's body, turning his powerful physique into its strongest form.
