CHAPTER 698: CHAPTER 423: GREAT HARVEST!

High above, the rift mends, and the Gate of Darkness grows smaller and smaller.

One by one, the mechanical warriors and transformed people, stepping on individual flying devices, ascend into the sky, vigilantly guarding the vicinity.

Additionally, numerous flying devices descend and hover, encircling the steel warships that have arrived through a leap to form a new defensive line.

"It’s over..."

Surveying everything, Chen Feng softly spoke.

The Burning Cosmos Flame entwining his body slowly dissipated, and he could feel how scorching hot the blood within him was.

As a result, his muscles were seared, and wisps of white mist seeped out from his pores.

Everything was slowly calming down, and Wang Cheng cast a glance his way.

"To reach this level with just a mortal body... you truly are remarkable."

The tone was sincere, expressing his respect.

Their previous cooperation made it clear to him that the other had also stepped into the legendary level.

That a martial artist could break through to this extent was undoubtedly explosive news.

Moreover...

With a curious gaze, he glanced behind Chen Feng.

The empty blue sky, and the approaching Horizontal Sky Battleship.

His gaze shifted downwards to the battered and punctured earth of the district below.

Within the blue light screen of the scanning module, there was no discovery to be found; the Platinum Giant, who had likewise reached the legendary level, had already left at some unknown time, leaving no trace.

"Your friend?"

Wang Cheng asked curiously, the tail flame under his feet spitting fire, allowing him to hover and move closer.

"Yes."

Chen Feng nodded, a calm expression on his face, without delving into any further topics.

The exposure of the Holy Shield Giant was truly unavoidable.

The situation had reached its most critical point; he could no longer continue hiding this power, turning a blind eye to others’ deaths.

This was his principle, as well as his responsibility as a councilman of the Association.

However.

Locking eyes with Wang Cheng, and perceiving the attention from the surrounding transformed people and mechanical warriors,

Chen Feng’s thoughts dispersed, considering much.

Legendary-level resources and technology were already sealed off by the high-ranking officials of Chi Country, and it’s impossible for anyone from the public to reach this stage.

He had already anticipated how much commotion and attention this incident would provoke, hence why he had the Holy Shield Giant leave beforehand.

"Rest assured."

Suddenly, Wang Cheng spoke.

It was as if he had seen through Chen Feng’s hidden concern, glancing towards the Nanjiang District below.

The ruins of the land, though stained crimson by blood in the pits and crevices, most of the district’s people had survived safely.

"If it weren’t for you and the White Giant taking action, perhaps the Black Tide would have completely destroyed Nanjiang."

"And that terrifying presence suspected to be the Evil God Angel might have already arrived perfectly... there would have been no way to hold out until we got here."

The tone was inexplicable, with a hint of complexity.

He then looked back at Chen Feng, making a promise.

"I don’t care what others think."

"At the very least, I, Wang Cheng, believe you and your companion are the greatest contributors."

After speaking, he jetted his tail flame and slowly descended away.

Watching his departing figure, Chen Feng’s eyes flickered, picking up on the unspoken meaning.

Without pondering further, he glanced at the Horizontal Sky Battleship, his gaze pausing for a moment on the energy main cannon.

The might surpasses that of a high-level energy cannon, and could even destroy a city.

If it weren’t for its suppression, the Evil God Angel might really have crossed over.

After observing for a moment, he then slowly descended, arriving at the temporary building of Chi Bo Energy.

Numerous ascending mechanical warriors and transformed people cast glances his way, some even saluting.

The fervent gratitude transformed into fiery gazes, and finally, Chu Shihong and Han Chao, among others, hurriedly approached.

"Master Chen!"

"Councilman Chen!!"

Every face shone with the relief of escape from disaster and genuine gratitude.

Members of the Association, military representatives, high-level officials of the Chi General Guard, including those from the always proud and self-considered Super Giant Enterprise, all stepped forward to express their thanks.

"In the future, should Master Chen need anything from us, just give the word."

"Indeed, if not for Master Chen, we might have perished here..."

"With Councilman Chen in charge, it’s truly the fortune of our Nanjiang, and our Blue Dome Group will forever remember this favor!"

Continuous praise and promises, one by one, the council members made way for him.

"Feng Zi."

Lin Hao’s mouth opened, speaking with a smile, feeling both gratitude and pride between friends.

Chen Feng gently patted his shoulder.

"Thank you."

Nearby, Meng Anran stepped forward to speak voluntarily, his eyes complex, while Old Gu behind him was full of admiration.

He recalled when the other first went to Yun Gang, he was only at the Entering Strength level, hunted by the Flying Dragon Style.

And now, unknowingly.

The other had become a towering giant tree even the Super Giant Enterprise had to look up to.

Calmly accepting all the thanks, Chen Feng nodded lightly.

Finally, after exchanging glances with a sea of eyes,

He stood in the center of the crowd, looking at the devastated streets around him, and the blood-stained traces of sacrifice.

"I only did what I had to do."

"Next, I’ll have to trouble you all... to swiftly restore the city and appease all sides."

.....

Buzz!!

At the same time, within a realm of dark chaos.

The black mist seemed to transform into an ink-black ocean, where immense terrifying creatures were faintly seen swimming.

Resembling bat wings, resembling a wolf’s body.

Scarlet eyes hovered in the sky like a blood moon, beneath the black mist appeared densely packed mutated creatures.

Boom!!

Tremendous noise resonated ceaselessly, causing the ocean of black mist to tremble.

The terrifying wolf-bat creature was blocked in place, glancing around, it saw a layer of white space crystal barrier.

Despite scale claws striking it, the rift within rapidly shrunk.

As if blessed by some rule, it swiftly recovered, with its thickness continuously deepening, becoming increasingly difficult to easily destroy.

"Damn humans!!"
