“She… gave birth?”Upon hearing the infant's cries, Alex could sense that they were connected by blood, and it moved his heart instantly in a special way. It was a fascinating feeling.It felt as if he was a brand new version of himself as if his life had continued.He couldn’t care less about the changes within his golden core and rushed over. Instantly, he saw Zendaya, who seemed to be very weak. Her forehead was drenched in sweat, and her face was even covered in bloodstains. In her arms was a tiny, fair-skinned baby, crying loudly.He stopped in his tracks, not knowing what to do as the father. He approached them slowly as his eyes nervously fixated themselves on the baby girl.He reached out his arms, but he didn’t know how to pick her up.Alex touched Zendaya’s face instead, placing his forehead on hers and kissing her on the lips.He could feel the pain she had to go through. “How did you manage to give birth in such a short time? You must be tired, huh?”“A little,

Alex felt his heart jump.The giant lotus flower slowly descended from the skies. Before it fell on them, Alex felt an immensely strong flow of Nature’s power.Golden talismans flowed within every petal.Each ray of Nature’s power glistened like the stars, brimming like a rainbow, floating endlessly within the flower.As this big golden flower fell down on them, Alex nearly knelt to the ground.He was worried that this golden lotus flower would harm his daughter to the point that she couldn’t be healed. He tried dodging as fast as lightning, but it was to no avail.An intense pressure seemed to be underneath the lotus flower, attracting his daughter and forcing her out of his arms.Alex didn’t dare to drag her too hard, still apprehensive that he might hurt her. In the end, the baby girl appeared above the golden lotus flower.Its gold surrounded her as the energy flowed into the baby’s body. It was an extraordinary sight.The talismans in the petals rushed out of it like wa

Boom—Eleanor was furious after hearing what Darnic said. “Darnic, you’re really the most shameless, useless, and unmanly Flying Eagles I’ve ever met. And you’re even their commander! What else do you know other than abusing your power? You’re actually blaming all of this on Jade? Don’t you have any shame in saying this?“Not to mention Jade’s been missing for an entire week. How would she get to know these shitty plans of yours? You just want to find someone to blame. As commander, you can’t even get into the ancient boundary. Now, you want to lead the war? Are you stupid?”Deeply embarrassed, Darnic directed his anger towards Eleanor.“Eleanor Curtis! I am the commander of the Flying Eagles!” he yelled. “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you want to get fired?”Eleanor sneered. “I quit then. You really think I like this job? America will come to an end thanks to your sort of trash.”When Eleanor was done berating, she grabbed her identity token, slammed it onto the table,

“Attack!!!”“Ahhhh!”The hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers shouted out in unison.Their screams were so earth-shattering. It was as if tsunamis, storms, and earthquakes all struck at the same time. Grass withered, trees fell, the air was murky with dust, and everything fell into dark and grey.In the outpost, Darnic, who had just arrived, wasn’t yet familiar with wars. He was taken aback by the war cries.“What’s happening? Why are those beasts outside the city wall shouting so suddenly? It’s so annoying! Any way to make them stop?” Darnic sat at the safe house behind the city walls and wouldn’t stop complaining.Although he was a Nascent Soul, he only achieved it after consuming countless herbs and help from others due to his old age. In order to attain such powers with the help of others meant that he had a longer lifespan. However, it also meant that his actual fighting abilities were super weak.This was because the Nascent Soul wasn’t his actual level. His own powers

Whoosh—Billions of flaming demon bugs attacked from the sky, smothering the whole outpost.Fires burned as far as the eye could see; the sky no longer visible.“Argh—They are coming!”“Charge, everyone, attack!”Boom boom boom… Flames filled the skies, and Chi exploded everywhere. Countless shots were sent at the swarm of flaming demon bugs. The entire space trembled and was filled with light so bright it stung everyone’s eyes.However, there were too many flaming demon bugs. It was impossible to eliminate them entirely.The bugs swarmed right into the crowd of people in the outpost. Looking at the city gates, countless demons rushed in, shouting at the top of their lungs. Their shouts shook the grounds, and sinister Chi filled the air. Countless attacks were directed at the people. Loud cries immediately followed.If one asked what hell looked like, it would be what was happening right now.Countless soldiers were attacked by the flaming demon bugs. Even Spirit Severing ex
