Chapter 99: Bloody Chaos, The Beginning of Turmoil

Through the mysterious connection, Shen Fei summoned the Empress and the Vast Heaven Venerable to return. Not long after, a gargantuan figure appeared in the distance, with its hand capable of touching the sky.

In the sky, multicolored spiritual light shuttled through the dim environment.

Moments later, the Vast Heaven Venerable halted, shrinking back to a height of just over ten meters, while the Empress descended to the ground, "Master."

"Go find the Insect King."

Shen Fei was unaware of the Insect King’s strength, so naturally, he needed to deploy all available forces.

"Alright!"

"Plague Doctor, lead the way!"

In the next instant, the Empress’s Five Elements Great Escape enveloped Shen Fei and the Calamity Plague Doctor, while the Vast Heaven Venerable also started moving, with the Kunpeng Divine Form surging forth in an instant with each breath.

Using the Kunpeng Divine Form, his speed was by no means inferior to the Empress.

...

Within the defensive line.

Everyone who had been watching Shen Fei saw him start to move, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems Shen Fei intends to go on the offensive, apparently angered by these Insect Race."

"Now, we can see Shen Fei’s true strength."

"Something’s not right!"

Chen Hansheng suddenly said, his gaze fixed on the monitor, his tone serious.

Han Min looked at the light screen, observing Shen Fei abandoning his path to charge towards a specific location, indicating his goal was not merely to slay monsters.

But he had a specific target.

"What is he trying to do!"

"He’s leaving the monitoring area at an incredible speed!!" Chen Hansheng swiped his finger across the instrument in front of him, and the next moment, a different image appeared on the screen before them.

It looked like a satellite map.

On this dark image, there was a yellow area. In the center of this yellow area was a large green dot, surrounded by numerous blue dots and patches of small red dots.

Chen Hansheng tapped the instrument in front of him a few more times, and the image changed again, leaving only one blue dot moving swiftly ’escaping’ the yellow area.

"What does he want to do! He should know that once outside, there is an Abyssal Insect Race outpost!!"

Mu Qing now spoke with none of her previous allure, but rather full of questions and stunned surprise.

Meng Zhengguo maintained a calm expression, recalling Shen Fei’s action just moments ago.

’Could it be that he really figured it out? So what’s he going to do now?’

"Should we warn him?"

"No need. This is permissible in itself, though I thought it would happen on the third day. Didn’t expect Shen Fei to rush out first."

Meng Zhengguo shook his head, but a hint of doubt flickered in his eyes.

According to his understanding of the Abyss, Shen Fei’s plan would not be easy to accomplish. The Abyss carries unique power, especially the Insect Race, these highly adaptive Abyssal creatures.

A usual plague would quickly birth corresponding power to counteract it.

But Shen Fei’s action clearly shows he knows how to solve this, with a clear target.

Suddenly, Han Min asked, "There should be an Insect King on this first floor, right?"

"Could Shen Fei’s target be the Insect King?"

Hua Tao’s tone was full of suspicion, "The Insect King on the first floor, that’s nearly Tier Five, and surrounded by a bunch of guards. Can Shen Fei get in?"

"That’s hard to say. But he has a clear target. I can’t think of anyone else his target could be apart from the Insect King."

Han Min’s gaze fell on the light screen, noticing Shen Fei’s calm expression, obviously he had a very clear target.

"After reaching Tier Three, each level significantly enhances one’s abilities. Can Shen Fei handle this? Besides, the Insect King is very likely Epic Level.

And the abyssal boost of King-level Abyssal creatures is extremely terrifying."

Ye Xiu was also a bit worried.

Especially since outside the monitoring area, the Breaking Abyss Army wouldn’t be able to support easily, and monitoring would be lost.

"Let’s watch others first. Although he’s fast, it’ll take some time before he leaves the monitoring area."

Meng Zhengguo shook his head, if Shen Fei’s target is the Insect King, the challenge is considerable.

"Hmm."

Yet speculation about Shen Fei continued in that conference room; the Insect King might not be a big deal for them, but for Shen Fei who’s still a student.

It represents an enormous challenge.

"If he can deal with that outpost, reaching the Insect King wouldn’t be a problem—after all, the first floor is about to come under our control."

Han Min, arms crossed, spoke; he knew Shen Fei must be confident.

So he wasn’t worried, but curious about how Shen Fei pinpointed the Insect King’s location.

"Let’s focus on the others first."

Chen Hansheng shook his head. For him, Shen Fei’s move was rather aggressive and reckless, and he didn’t particularly like this kind of student.

The talent is indeed excellent, arguably the best in nearly ten years.

But cautious character is the skill to survive in the Abyss, not strength, because there will always be someone stronger than you.

"Keep an eye on the growth of the Abyssal Tree Seed later to know his situation; if he dies, the Abyssal Tree would revert back to a seed."

At this moment.

Chen Hansheng suddenly adjusted the screen, "There’s been a fatality."

On the screen, everyone could only see a candidate directly swallowed by several Black Beetles, only managing to scream amidst panic, unable to even crush the wristwatch.

"Too reckless, this is the time to find a narrow place to defend or hide rather than walking outside rashly."

Hua Tao shook his head.

"Commander, this is being broadcasted live, is this really alright?"

"The times are advancing, this is a century of unprecedented change; even I don’t know exactly what’s happening, the intensity of Abyssal invasion is far more terrifying compared to three hundred years ago at the beginning.

And these past centuries, everyone got used to peace, but now the enemy is returning, letting everyone realize—the enemy that once nearly wiped us out has never disappeared."

"In turbulent times, use strict laws!"

Meng Zhengguo seemed to have anticipated this long ago.

...

Outside.

Seemingly to highlight this first sacrifice, all live broadcasts switched to this student’s screen.

Watching his burial within the Black Beetle’s maw, hearing his scream, it was a gruesome scene.

Only now did many who were tense return to conscious thought, immediately causing an uproar!

"This... this... how cruel..."

"They’re all students, how could they do this, how could they do this..."

"Why has the examination become like this!"

...

Every city experienced partial unrest, but in each, the Breaking Abyss Army seemed ready, appearing on city streets that were once only defended by them.

Anyone attempting to incite chaos through this live broadcast was immediately arrested without delay.

"Silence!! This examination involves signing a Life and Death Agreement, and any death has been personally consented!"

A large number of Breaking Abyss Army took control of cities, maintaining order, everyone at this moment smelled the scent of blood seemingly pervading the sky above.
