Cultivating Through The Game

"Open fire!"

A vast array of bullets emitting a greenish glow swept across the six-armed blade demon that rushed out of the fire blockade line. These bullets, which barely broke its defense and were far less powerful than machine gun bullets, nonetheless made it fall halfway through its charge.

The three-meter-tall six-armed blade demon collapsed 50 meters from the wall, its demonic aura growing weaker until it disappeared entirely, and with its demonic power erased, it naturally lost the strength to remain active.

"Check the number of anti-demon bullets in your magazines, and replace the magazine if there are fewer than ten rounds."

Click, click, click~ A series of magazine-changing sounds echoed. Logistics personnel took the replaced magazines away, sending them to the logistics department for refilling.

The six-armed blade demon's speed was too fast, forcing everyone to intercept it with a barrage of fire coverage, which led to extremely severe ammunition consumption.

This is the disadvantage of ordinary soldiers fighting demons. Without forming a large scale, when completely overwhelmed in strength and speed by demons, ordinary soldiers, even equipped with weapons capable of harming demons, can hardly kill them.

If control or illusion technique-based demons appear, it is even more deadly. Without killing the demon outside the control or illusion range, ordinary soldiers have no power to resist whatsoever.

Boom! The leader at the Qi Sea Realm jointly attacking the giant cockroach demon was struck away, slammed into the wall, creating a concave pit in the concrete and steel-reinforced wall.

The Qi Sea Realm leader, who was struck away, kept vomiting blood, looking somewhat grim.

The greatest reliance of the Qi Sea Realm—the rapid recovery of spiritual power—proved useless in reality because there was almost no spiritual qi here, making the ability to quickly recover spiritual power ineffective.

In contrast, the giant cockroach demon, within the range enveloped by the demon fortress, could replenish its consumed demonic qi at any time.

When their spiritual power was exhausted, they couldn't rival the giant cockroach demon, their formation was broken, and they were struck away by the giant cockroach demon.

A few people retreated, flying to the person who fell against the wall, and asked, "Are you okay?"

The person spit out two mouthfuls of blood, "I'm fine, just minor injuries."

If it weren't for his stronger capability, commanding the military formation, with the enhanced defense from everyone else's power, if anyone else were struck away, they'd likely be heavily injured by now.

Though the injury wasn't very serious, he was already out of spiritual power and couldn't continue to form formations and fight the giant cockroach demon.

"You all retreat, I'll take care of it."

A middle-aged man appeared on the wall, and after saluting him, they left the wall to recover their spiritual power, preparing for the next battle.

The middle-aged man looked at the giant cockroach demon, his expression as calm as a still ancient well, without any ripple.

"The upper echelon somewhat misjudged the strength of players and demons; the Qi Sea Realm's power is severely weakened in reality."

The middle-aged man flew towards the giant cockroach demon, and sensing the extremely dangerous power approaching, the giant cockroach demon hurriedly escaped towards the demon fortress; when facing an unbeatable enemy, protecting the demon fortress from being destroyed is of utmost priority.

Just as it took off, the giant cockroach demon's form froze mid-air, as the middle-aged man's spiritual power condensed into a long spear above his head, which was his divine weapon.

The spiritual power-conjured divine weapon couldn't compare to a real divine weapon but could exert a portion of its power.

The long spear transformed into a blurry shadow of the Ancient Nether Serpent, the divine weapon's power not fully revealed, making the Ancient Nether Serpent's body appear somewhat indistinct.

The divine weapon's shadow turned into a beam of light, piercing through the giant cockroach demon's body, fragmenting its body inch by inch into dust.

As the giant cockroach demon vanished, the middle-aged man who appeared on the battlefield also disappeared.

Lu Yu noticed this brief skirmish and speculated in his heart, "That person must be Core Formation Realm."

Without being Core Formation Realm, one couldn't so effortlessly kill in one blow the giant cockroach demon equivalent to the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm.

In reality, neither Core Formation Realm nor Qi Sea Realm could engage in a war of attrition with demons. The middle-aged man was very clear on this point, so when he acted, he went all out, summoning his divine weapon's shadow to instantly kill the giant cockroach demon to avoid delays that would pointlessly consume his spiritual power.

Following the giant cockroach demon's instant kill, the demon's assault that broke into the defense line also slowed down, the demon fortress stopped transforming demons, becoming a place that only accepted entry and not exit, leaving its intentions unclear.

With the battle slowing down, ten minutes later, two Qi Sea Realm experts escorted a team of researchers into the battlefield, where researchers picked up the charred demon's blood and flesh for research. The three-meter six-armed blade demon killed by anti-demon bullets, also became a focal point, taken away by people.

Some demons, upon seeing researchers appear on the battlefield, wanted to attack but were easily crushed to death by the Qi Sea Realm experts.

Aside from the guardian manufactured by the demon fortress—the giant cockroach demon—the other demons' strength was, at most, equivalent to the initial stage of Martial Cultivator's energy control, facing Qi Sea Realm experts, having no ability to resist.

"I want to collect samples from the demon fortress," the researcher said to the Qi Sea Realm expert protecting him.

"No, it's too dangerous. The demon fortress has stopped transforming demons, and the energy intensity inside is constantly increasing, probably creating even stronger demons. Going now is too risky," the Qi Sea Realm expert firmly refused.

The researcher repeatedly pleaded without gaining permission, helpless, he could only contact his superior, whose connections with the command center ultimately resulted in orders for the Qi Sea Realm expert to collect part of the demon fortress's structure.

Turning round and round, the task initially meant for the researcher turned into one for the Qi Sea Realm expert.

"You take them away from here first, after you leave, I'll go over," said the Qi Sea Realm officer.
