The Crystal King's star has multiple transmission bases, but one that can simultaneously transport thirty thousand troops—now completely destroyed, with no possibility of reconstruction. Sacthos is deeply furious. Until now, he has always believed that as long as thirty thousand troops successfully reached Earth, humanity would be crushed beneath the massive war machines, flattened instantly. Although there were many complications during the transmission process, he has always attributed the problems to Earth-side issues, never doubting that they would arise from his own side. Four bold cultivators, who dared to appear deep within the demon kingdom and cause such extensive damage, had clearly demonstrated that the demons placed excessive trust in him, resulting in a lack of fundamental vigilance—allowing the enemy to exploit their weaknesses. While ordering his troops to launch a full-scale assault, he also instructed all demon forces to remain alert, reporting immediately upon spotting any suspicious individuals. On Earth, Mei Li had finally completed the construction of three bases and was eager to contact the Magic Realm, only to find that her transmission base had been destroyed and the transmission time postponed. The person in charge at the Magic Realm didn't elaborate on how the postponement would be carried out. Frustrated, she struck a stone beside her with a punch, angrily saying, "This must be the work of the Inspection Department—probably even Qin Feng himself involved. How did they manage to locate Crystal King Star?" Crystal King Star, among the hundreds of planets under the Magic Realm's rule, was not particularly prominent. Even celestial beings might not be aware of its existence, let alone ordinary humans. Finding it among so many planets was no easy task. She then approached the leader of the勇士, asking, "Exactly what did the Magic Realm say?" "The warrior replied nervously, 'Our main transit hub has been destroyed, and Your Majesty has ordered a full city-wide search for the enemy...' 'Can't we conduct the search while simultaneously using other transit arrays to send reinforcements in batches?' she exclaimed, eyes blazing. 'After all, the main hub is already gone—can we really leave all our forces behind just to capture six people?' The leader raised four fingers, correcting, 'It's four, not six. Your Majesty's decision is beyond what I, a mere subordinate, can comprehend.' 'I don't care—get in touch with the Magic Realm immediately. Even if you send just a few thousand, it will ease the pressure.' she said, clearly agitated. 'Understood.' ... The entire Crystalline Kingdom is now under martial law. Everyone has been mobilized, and no corner has been left untouched." Yet even under these circumstances, four relay bases were destroyed, and the guards failed to notice the enemy's arrival until a violent explosion occurred—resulting in relatively few casualties, primarily due to the extensive damage to the base facilities, which were scattered and ruined. At each explosion site, stone monuments inscribed with Chinese characters were left behind, bearing the message: "Earthlings have visited here." These monuments were specially crafted by Qin Feng. The process was simple: with a few movements of his flying sword, the irregular stones were transformed into neat, uniform slabs. The inscribing process was even simpler. Upon arriving at the fifth base, he opened a small gap in the door of his section. He extended his hand, first summoning the stone monument from his storage talisman, allowing it to land, and then summoning the nuclear warhead. A soft thud— the sound of the monument settling—caught the attention of the skyborne magical patrol troops, yet their bodies were so large that the several-meter-long stones appeared no different from mere pebbles to them. Yet some still managed to make it through, only to be caught off guard by an explosion before they could conduct a thorough inspection. Boom… With the rising mushroom cloud, the fifth base was completely destroyed. In the royal palace, Sacthos was furious. This was his own territory—having a few enemy forces intrude was already enough to provoke him, and now such substantial losses had been incurred. Although the bases destroyed were not directly connected to Earth and were used for travel to other star regions, their destruction severed contact with those regions, requiring costly and time-consuming reconstruction efforts. With over ten thousand magical beings mobilized, he could still not locate even four enemy forces—this was the primary source of his frustration. Additionally, there was constant pressure from Meili, who had repeatedly urged Sacthos to split his thirty-thousand-strong army into smaller units and send them via different relay stations. However, at the moment, Sacthos was so incensed that he simply could not attend to this matter. Because if he didn't first eliminate the enemy, he'd feel deeply embarrassed. But now it's even more embarrassing—the enemy hasn't been found, and his troops haven't been able to be sent over. In fact, right now it's nearly impossible to send them, as the relay bases have been almost completely destroyed. To this, Meili expressed great anger. Yet what could he do? In Crystalline Star Sacatos, he held absolute authority. Though Meili was on the verge of becoming a Duke, he still had to follow orders, and even if he had objections, he had to comply absolutely. Just when things were at their worst, the Earth-borns had formed a resistance force—composed of people from various nations who were determined not to surrender, all of whom were willing to die. As the saying goes, the timid fear the bold, the bold fear the fearless, and the fearless fear the stubborn. Once people stand up and become resolute, they become nearly invincible. Thus, these people inflicted heavy losses on the magical race. They operated in groups of three or five, utilizing any available transportation—including airplanes—and launched attacks with nuclear weapons. After all, nuclear weapons are typically inaccessible to ordinary people. Yet, given that the resistance ranks included high-level officials from both government and military, a few key individuals simply came together, and voilà—nuclear weapons were secured, along with their access codes and launch instructions. Such a scenario was utterly unimaginable during peacetime, but now it had become remarkably straightforward. With one after another intense explosion, the magical forces were scattered and devastated. Although most of them did not perish in the nuclear blasts, the transmission hubs they had tirelessly protected suffered severe damage. The quartet of destroyers then reached another well-defended base, which was surrounded by at least three thousand defensive troops, densely arrayed and forming a tight encirclement. The Starweaver halted several kilometers away. After observing carefully, Qin Shao closed the door and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the other side has many people. What shall we do—should we proceed or not? What do you think?" Tao Hua spoke first, "Of course, we charge straight in and deliver a powerful assault. What else could we possibly discuss?" Qin Shao brightened up, "Then excellent—start with you." Tao Hua immediately stepped back, "Why?" "Because your artifact is the most powerful." "Come on, it's better if we all move together. That way, we can support each other." Tao Hua, far from being naive, certainly wouldn't rush headlong into danger. In truth, Qin Shao had hoped that Tao Hua would charge in—only then would he have the chance to carry his bones before the Juehua Uncle.
