Chapter 79 An Immortal Descends from Heaven
Six days later.
Changdong Minor World, Yangping City.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This used to be one of the most prosperous cities on Changdong Star, and more importantly, for some reasons, it always had a full combat unit stationed, so when the turmoil occurred, stability was maintained in the area.
Today, all flights at the airport were suspended, and many bigwigs from television had arrived here, excitedly discussing something.
Then, the golden Light Gate opened and countless mysterious patterns appeared as a line of people walked out.
The light and shadow effects were not essential; they were meant to let everyone witness the power of the Immortal Sect and to help expedite the subsequent work.
A woman of average appearance, who stood out somewhat awkwardly among the handsome men and beautiful women, approached the VIPs.
"I am the reinforcement from the Immortal Sect, we have come to save Changdong Star."
"The Immortal Sect has come upon invitation."
"Please hand over command!"
...
There was no resistance, no hesitance; the higher-ups of Changdong Minor World clearly knew about the Immortal Sect, and they recognized how precious this rescue mission was.
Six days and six hours later, with the cooperation of the Planet Governor, the Immortal Sect had taken control of the city and restored communication with other areas. A team of a thousand people began to act.
Although it was a First Grade world and they could only use First Grade magical treasures, Spirit Talismans, Formations, etc., that was enough.
From the Storage Bag, the planet's Spirit Talisman communications center, a small-scale spell healing hospital, and even several Flying Boats appeared.
Countless exclamations rang out; this was the first time the scientific world had seen such magical methods.
And these scenes were broadcast to all places, letting those resisting realize that reinforcements had indeed arrived.
"This is not a request, but an order, from now on, follow our commands!"
Whether it was Zhuge Caihua or other seniors and sisters, they had learned management and operation in college, preparing for today's planetary crisis, and they wielded the most formidable power.
"You have the right to make suggestions, but the final decision lies with us, now tell us, where is the most critical location?"
"Xiying City, Province of Polley, and Wuquan Port."
The stationed cultivators on the planet had already taught those people how to use the screen, and the Command Department had filtered out the intelligence through computers.
"Good, Meng Yu! You and Qingluan Squad, a team of ten, will carry out a mission in Xiying City, is that acceptable?"
"I will do my best."
Meng Yu said as much.
"Good, good luck and await your safe return."
"Sending only ten people over there, is that enough?"
A local general looked incredulously at the arrangement.
Although the newcomers from the Immortal Sect had opened their eyes, were only ten people going down now?
There were hundreds of thousands of monsters there, endless enemies, and so few people?
"Don't worry, the Qingluan Squad is very elite, and this one is a legend among our high school students of the Immortal Sect."
She stared at the departing Meng Yu with utmost certainty, saying, "The operation will be broadcast live, we welcome you to watch!"
...
Six days and seven hours later.
Changdong Minor World.
A group of soldiers lay quietly within a building, awaiting the appearance of the enemy, including the severely wounded.

The world suddenly changed its appearance, turning the peaceful life into a horror movie, with all kinds of mutated monsters appearing before everyone, and these monsters, with their honeycomb-like muscles and bone armor, have defense comparable to the strongest bulletproof vests, and are layered one on top of another, ordinary bullets unable to severely injure them, often requiring a barrage of artillery fire to be effective.
Their claws can easily tear through reinforced concrete, they move as fast as cars, not to mention, their roars are like ultrasonic weapons, plus they have a bunch of other messy abilities.
During the day, people can still use firepower to establish a blockade, barely maintaining the defense lines, but at night, a large number of monsters appear out of nowhere, and night vision devices and the like are extremely limited, these monsters can even lower their body temperature to that of the ground, making all infrared and such utterly useless!
Intense gunfire came from the east, perhaps the barrier there had been breached by monsters.
Everyone was defending an airport, which is also the largest civil airport in the inland area of Xiping Nation, the orders were simple, at all costs, defend the airport, and prepare for the counter-offensive in the future.
As long as we're organized, there's still hope.
Well, no one knew where that hope was, but no matter what, wasn't there only the choice to fight to the death now?
Not long ago, everyone received the news, reinforcements would arrive soon.
But how could there be reinforcements now?
"Eh, what's that?"
A plane skimmed across the sky, then dozens of black dots dropped from above, without parachutes, gliding like flying willow catkins, at the same time, the gloomy sky suddenly displayed a burst of colorful patterns, as magical as the runes in cartoons, golden light trails projected before everyone's eyes (a certain spell's sound and light effect, used to inspire people, showcasing Meng Yu and others' arrival)
The next moment, Meng Yu and ten others descended from the sky!
The group of people combined, floated in the sky, then landed, a scene the warriors would never forget for the rest of their lives!
"Our universe is very dangerous, with countless terrifying creatures, and demons in the void are stirring."
"Scientific research has red lines that cannot be crossed."
"Science is not to blame, ignorance is shameful!"
"We belong to a great alliance, everyone, the Interstellar Army will arrive soon!"
"Bullshit, how can there be reinforcements, if there were, why wouldn't they coordinate the development of technology and all aspects of things?"
The warriors looked at the golden light in the sky, and thought of many things on Changdong Star.
Changdong Star was a peaceful planet, of course, there were many urban legends, and before the turmoil, a journalist even revealed a secret, every country was funneling one to two percent of its GDP each year into a mysterious department, which then was paid to another world, said to be extraterrestrials, and every few years, a spacecraft would come by to collect taxes and so on.
Right, those who piloted the spacecraft, they said they were cultivators!
This matter caused a huge stir, and everyone was very angry, but when the disaster happened, people hoped that the rumor was true.
After all, the moment the biotech crisis occurred, many people were desperate, the terrifying videos full of monsters surging like tidal waves, covered the entire earth.
Terrestrial animals, including rats, hares, and many marine creatures, were infected, turning into horrifying forms.
Right, the reinforcements above, they're called immortals?
Is it the cultivator kind of immortal?
...
The black shadows fell to the ground like meteorites, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters! Without opening parachutes, without attacking, those people just fell straight down, what were they doing?
The next moment, when they were thirty meters above the ground, their bodies suddenly stopped, began to decelerate, then, light as feathers, they changed direction and charged towards those monsters!
In Meng Yu's hand was a Firebird Undying Sword, the blade forged from the bones of the Immortal Phoenix, the blade glowing red, embodying both wind and fire attributes, lightweight and exceptionally tenacious.
On his back was the Voidshadow Obsidian Sword, its blade twisted and blurred under the light, as if a mass of indistinct writhing.
"Innate Body Refinement!"
This was the kind of horror that would leave ordinary people utterly hopeless, but for Meng Yu, it was a piece of cake.
"I'll take on the enemy!"
Over forty monsters charged at Meng Yu, each one shaking the earth like a tank, but when the wind blew, the countless monsters fell to the ground like broken wheat stalks, one after another!
