Chapter 453: Chapter 225: Slaying the Lv. 33 Mother Empress, Forcibly Summoning the Divine Realm

The Underground nuclear fallout Shelter on the side peak of Yunxia Ridge was immense.

Its main gate alone was fifteen meters wide and over ten meters high.

It was originally designed with a world war in mind, built to allow the transport of military equipment, including large-scale installations like radar stations.

Now, abandoned and sealed, it had become a perfect, ready-made nest for the Zerg Race.

The wide entrance was large enough for a Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg to squeeze through by curling its body, and the space inside was just as vast.

Lin Feng recalled the blueprints the military had provided. They showed the Shelter’s structure: a cylinder over four hundred meters in diameter, with four floors, each five meters high.

After the group charged in and killed several dozen Tier One Late Stage Black Spine Zergs, the Guard Battle Group at Lin Feng’s side put away their Lv29 Electromagnetic Cannon Replicas and switched on the high-powered searchlights they had prepared.

Over a dozen beams of light swept into the dark, deep Shelter, which was overgrown with green, fluorescent fungi.

The thick concrete floor of every level in the Shelter had been dug through, forming a massive pit twenty meters deep.

Before the team could even locate the entrance to the Underground Hive, several Tiger Spine Zergs—stationed there as guards by the Mother Empress—raised their massive heads, brandished their Giant Mandibles, and charged at the group.

These Tiger Spine Zergs were only in the early to middle stages of Tier Two, with average strength and size. Liu Yi and Shen Jie led from the front, raising their swords to meet the attack.

Enemies of this level certainly didn’t require the intervention of Lin Feng or Ling Yi. So, Lin Feng took Ling Yi and began Sensing the airflow patterns in the cavern, searching for the underground entrance hidden in the darkness.

Soon, by identifying the pheromones, Ling Yi pinpointed a deep pit twenty meters in diameter in the furthest part of the Shelter.

The mouth of the pit sloped downward, leading into an unknown Abyss.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng addressed the members of the Tier Two Battle Group and began issuing commands:

"Twenty members of the Second Genetic Combat Team, remain here! Lead two hundred Warriors and guard the Shelter entrance and any other surrounding openings!"

The entrance was exceptionally narrow; even larger Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs could only squeeze through by curling up.

Therefore, twenty Tier Two Awakeners, supported by two hundred Warriors, would be more than enough to hold their ground.

Lin Feng then turned to the remaining sixty people.

"The other three Battle Groups, follow me deep into the Underground Hive! We must kill the Yunxia Ridge Mother Empress within the hour!"

With that, Lin Feng raised his Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword, which faintly glowed with golden light, and led the charge into the bottomless, dark pit behind him.

Ling Yi instructed Liu Yueqi to stay in the Shelter and focus on killing Zergs to Upgrade, then followed Lin Feng’s group deep into the Underground Hive.

Not long after the members of the Lightning Beheading operation had departed, a barrage of intense Cannon fire erupted inside the Shelter.

The Underground Mother Empress, having sensed the intruders, mobilized all the Tier Two Tiger Spine Zergs guarding the other nearby openings and Hives. She dispatched them to the exterior of the Shelter, intending to encircle and annihilate the uninvited guests.

The Shotguns equipped by the Warriors, despite having a maximum Damage of only 190, could still disrupt and injure the Tier Two Early Stage Tiger Spine Zergs.

After the first wave was weakened by the Cannon fire, the Tier Two Genetic Warriors would surge forward, brandishing blades in both hands to cut them down.

Liu Yueqi stood guard inside the Shelter, just outside an opening that led to another Hive. She gripped her Thousand Slash Saber tightly, infusing it with the cold, gleaming Energy of her Superpower Molecular Cut. A terrifying, white-flame-like ripple emanated from the blade as she slashed at a Tiger Spine Zerg Giant Mandible that poked through the opening.

She slew it right there in the entrance, securing the kill.

Fierce battles raged on all fronts.

Meanwhile, as the three Tier Two Battle Groups followed Lin Feng and Ling Yi deeper underground, they repeatedly encountered Tiger Spine Zerg Swarms. These Zergs, dispatched by the Mother Empress from other Third-Level and Second-Level Hives, had been sent to intercept them.

However, any Zerg below the Tier Two Late Stage could do little to slow the rapid advance of Lin Feng’s forces.

A single Genetic Warrior or Guard Warrior could easily defeat Tiger Spine Zergs from the early and middle stages of Tier Two.

But they had to leave guards at every opening they passed. Otherwise, a massive Swarm could attack from behind, catching them in a pincer. The sheer number of Zerg corpses would also block their only route of retreat.

So, after pushing forward for some time, by the time they were more than two hundred meters underground, only fifteen Tier Two Late Stage Battle Group members remained with Lin Feng.

This included six Battle Group Leaders who had reached Tier Two Perfection, like Liu Yi and Shen Jie, as well as the nine remaining vice-leaders who had all advanced to the Late Stage.

This group represented the most elite Power Lin Feng had brought with him on this reinforcement mission to the north.

Their strength was such that they could easily annihilate all the Swarms under the command of a Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress.

Now, they were about to assist Lin Feng in breaching the final First-Level Hive—the ultimate Nest where the Mother Empress resided!

The Swarm cultivated by a Tier Three Early-stage Mother Empress was usually weak and small, with few Tier Two Late Stage Tiger Spine Zergs. But this was a Mother Empress...

...that was on the verge of advancing to the Tier Three Middle Stage!

Even though it hadn’t yet unlocked the more advanced abilities of Infinite Reproduction, such as cultivating genetically-fused Mixed Blood Species, it now possessed enough Biomass to spawn a batch of elite Tier Two Late Stage Tiger Spine Zergs to protect its Nest.

Thus, when Lin Feng and his fifteen Tier Two team members finally carved a path to their destination under Ling Yi’s guidance, what appeared before them was an enormous Tier Two Tiger Spine Zerg.

Judging by the fiery, orange-yellow patterns on its thick carapace and the astonishing aura it exuded, this was, in every sense of the word, a Tier Two Peak Tiger Spine Zerg.
