Chapter 305: Chapter 300: The Small Room Inside the Submarine_1
Boom—
At the edge of the distant horizon, darkness loomed, and the low rumble akin to thunder continued incessantly. The battlefield between humans and the void beasts had already spread to the central North Sea.
At this moment, Jiang Ling and the Commander-in-Chief, Xia Mo, still locked in aerial combat above the Central Area, were able to sense the intense foreboding presence through their exceptional perceptual power.
"Jiang Ling, if you continue to fight so stubbornly, half of the Tianjiang population will die a wrongful death!" Xia Mo, cloaked in light and shadow, bellowed.
Every attack from Jiang Ling was desperate, forcing him to defend with all his might. It was precisely because of this that, within less than half an hour, both of them were already covered in wounds.
For legendary masters at the peak of the Cultivation Realm, like those in the Xuanyang Realm, it wouldn't necessarily be clear who would win even after days and nights of fighting. But if they fought desperately and launched relentless, explosive attacks from the get-go, neither could withstand it—and likely, within less than half a day, one would suffer a fatal injury.
Jiang Ling naturally noticed the ominous presence in the distant horizon as well. She sliced through the air, creating distance between herself and Xia Mo. She glanced at the murky clouds in the distance and spoke again, "Hand over Fang Ren! I will go and ascertain the situation myself! Otherwise, let's settle this with a fight to the death right here!"
Her attitude remained exceedingly firm.
"Are you sick in the head!" Xia Mo, as the Commander-in-Chief, couldn't help but curse, "Fang Ren won't die! Why won't you believe that!"
"You bunch of damned bastards! If you were trustworthy at all, my husband would not have died!" Jiang Ling roared.
"Indeed, Bai Chaojin's methods back then might have been wrong, but wasn't that for the future of our species?
If it weren't for the cultivators' marriage policies, do you think humanity would still have so many young talents?" Xia Mo spat out a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth, "When the Cultivation Era first began, humans could spend their entire lives and only reach the Golden Mountain Realm at most, but now, thanks to the inherited genes of talented cultivators, the human limit has been raised to the current Xuanyang Realm!
And even to the once unattainable Xuanyang Realm of old! Can't you see the problem here? The outstanding human genes must be concentrated! Otherwise, it is a waste of the future!"
"By that logic, as long as one has the best genes, could that person not go around the world sowing seeds at will, being nothing but a stud horse!" Jiang Ling raged.
"You! Jiang Ling! You're too extreme!"
"Cut the crap! Will you hand over Fang Ren today or not?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the black blade in Jiang Ling's hand was once again wrapped in a destructive aura. She unleashed a slash toward the army below the Central Area!
Boom—
An explosive roar, the earth shattered, and countless soldiers were blown into the sea.
"If you are so obstinate! Then I'll risk this old life of mine to ensure the success of this experiment!"
As Xia Mo finished speaking, the white aura around him surged once again, and he continued his fight with Jiang Ling from the sky to the ground. Everything around them, under the onslaught of their energies, kept fracturing and collapsing.

Inside Indra Sky's Underground Lab, a group of scientists with incredibly tense expressions watched the fluctuations on a massive device—finally, the transmission rate of 99% jumped to the long-awaited 100%!
"Success! The void energy has completely fused with the Spiritual Root inside Her Highness!"
"Quick! Open the underwater passage! Take Young Master Fang and Her Highness away!"
As a group of scientists carried out their evacuation plan in a state of urgency, Fang Ren, who had been lying in bed, slowly opened his eyes. His consciousness had returned to clarity, though he felt extremely weary.
Surveying the bustle of the laboratory staff preparing something and catching a glimpse of Bai Qi lying on the bed next to him, her face color restored to a healthy hue, her aura no longer that of a mid-stage Xuanyang Realm but similar to Jiang Ling's state when she had broken through to the Xuanyang Realm.
"Young Master Fang, can you move normally now?"
At that moment, a man in a white lab coat rushed over to him.
Fang Ren glanced at him, then at the scientists who were busy opening a small passage, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Boom—
A clap of thunder entered the underground lab, and the expression on the man's face grew even more tense. He hurriedly said, "We are now going to take the submarine through the underwater passage to leave this place. Young Master Fang, if you can move, follow us. If you need it, I can support you."
"What's the situation above?" Fang Ren frowned.
"It's a Ninth-order Void Beast!" The scientist pointed at the black skull nearby and explained, "The owner of this skull, it's attacking the island. The Commander-in-Chief is above us holding it off. We must evacuate quickly!"
"Ninth-order..."
Fang Ren was shocked, barely able to believe what Bai Chaojin had said was true—the skull indeed belonged to a Ninth-order Void Beast, and that beast had actually come to this world to reclaim its head, arriving so swiftly...
At this moment, the large black skull, now desiccated due to the depletion of Void Energy, was lifeless.
"Then let's get moving quickly."
Fang Ren didn't think he could survive against a Ninth-order Void Beast and without further ado, he picked up Bai Qi from the experimental bed and followed the group of scientists into the underwater passage.
The passage was so narrow that as Fang Ren carried Bai Qi through, a slight lack of attention would cause Bai Qi's feet to brush against the walls, forcing Fang Ren to carry her on his shoulder in the end.
At the end of this passage lay a secret chamber meant for the submarine. Several scientists opened the hatch of the submarine and climbed in, and Fang Ren quickly seated himself inside.
"Young Master Fang, you can put Her Highness here to rest for now. We will leave safely," one scientist assured him.
A researcher led Fang Ren into a small room inside the submarine. The only thing inside was a bed—nothing else.
The door of this room was a large green iron door with not even a small window, making it a sealed chamber.
Fang Ren glanced at the researcher and said, "Something's not right."
"Does Young Master Fang have any questions?"
"Didn't you say that after the energy transfer was successful, Bai Qi's realm should have been at the mid-stage of Xuanyang realm? Why is she still stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of Xuanyang realm? She's not even at the initial stage."
The researcher glanced at his watch and frowned. "For this, we need Young Master Fang's cooperation to complete the final step."
"What else do you need me to do?" Fang Ren frowned and asked.
"Rest in the room first, and when we get to a safe place, we will naturally tell you," the researcher said.
"You'd better tell me now." Fang Ren said unhappily, "Now that Bai Qi is out of danger, I dare to really kill you if I say so."
As he spoke, Fang Ren walked to the bedside, laid Bai Qi by the bed, but just as he was about to turn and talk to the researcher, a sudden pain shot through his head, and he collapsed beside the bed.
"You..."
Fang Ren looked angrily at the researcher in the doorway, feeling that things were not as simple as he imagined and that he had been led by the nose by these people.
Seeing this, the expression on the face of the researcher at the door did not change as he said, "Please rest, Young Master Fang."
With that, he closed the iron door and locked a rotating mechanical lock from the outside.
"Get back here!"
Fang Ren gritted his teeth and got up, ready to channel his True Qi to shatter the iron door. However, before he took a step, he fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
Outside the iron door, several researchers gathered together.
A team leader looked at the locked iron door and asked, "How long will it probably take?"
"For ordinary people, it's 7-10 days. The physique of cultivators is excellent, so 3 days should be enough."
"But the medication is simply not enough to last three days. During this period, it's not feasible for us to go in and inject them directly. What should we do?"
"Don't worry, this kind of medication can be vaporized and act through the respiratory tract inside the body."
"That's good, otherwise if the medication fails, I don't know whether Her Highness can conceive."

Skies of the North Sea, battles like the end of the world were still raging. All major radio stations had stopped all their programs, which now only featured reports on this great battle.
From the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere, whether it was nighttime or daytime, whether they were office workers sitting at their desks or homebodies lying in bed, everyone was clutching their smartphones, closely following this battle that could potentially destroy humanity.
Ao——
Eight huge black snake heads howled to the sky as if infuriated by something.
The Black Eight-headed Snake, with its 300-meter-long gigantic body, rushed at the massive formation at high speed, constantly trying to move towards the Central Island.
"This thing has gone mad! Hold it back!"
Countless soldiers manipulated the huge Blue Array in the sky, tightly surrounding the Black Eight-headed Snake, while outside the Blue Array, an overwhelming number of Void beasts also continually rammed the human formation, trying to break it.
Boom boom boom——
Within the Blue Array, countless blue light swords continually stabbed at the scales of the Black Eight-headed Snake, sparking innumerable flashes, and the entire sea was boiling from the sparks erupting.
"Cough!"
At the center of the formation, Mu Huanqing felt a heavy pressure in her chest. The constant activation of the kilometer-sized array attacks caused a colossal drain on Spiritual Energy. Moreover, many Array Masters around didn't understand how the Large Formation worked and couldn't help at all, leaving her to fend for herself.
Thud thud thud——
The Eight-headed Snake inside the formation was no pushover either. Its black aura continuously corroded the formation. Several snake heads also tore at the edges of the formation.
However, every time the black aura corroded the formation, it was quickly repaired by Mu Huanqing. The battle continued, a war of attrition against Spiritual Energy.
If Mu Huanqing could not keep her Spiritual Energy up with the formation, the Eight-headed Snake would break free, and at that moment, at least tens of thousands of the human army outside the formation would be submerged by the black aura.

"If this continues, I'm afraid the formation will shatter in less than two hours. I must think of another way..."
Mu Huanqing looked at the frantically raging Eight-headed Snake on the sea and felt greatly shocked. Ever since she had entered the battlefield, she had killed more than a hundred Ninth-order Void Beasts, but each time it was only by uniting humans and the Anti-Void Array that they were able to drag it until its energy was exhausted before killing it.
This time was different; she always felt that the energy of this Void beast was increasing instead of being depleted..."
