It was precisely because they saw with their own eyes that Zhang Yue "died," and because high-level professionals from Dragon Nation couldn't enter the Death Territory, that people from the Seven Great Nations dared to form an allied army and invade Dragon Nation's territory.
But now, Zhang Yue suddenly came back to life and appeared on the battlefield.
The people from the Seven Great Nations, how would they dare contend with someone who could easily annihilate a level-6 beast tide and solo a pseudo-king level BOSS?
The only thing they could do was run.
What they didn't know was: Zhang Yue had always been silently watching the entire scene from a corner of World 19.
He deliberately waited until this moment to make a move, for the sole purpose of welcoming the arrival of the Seven Great Nations.
So right now, Zhang Yue naturally wouldn't just sit back and let this group of prey escape right under his nose.
Thirty-Six-Wing Armageddon Black Dragon, Apex Predator, Cherry, Ice-Sealed War God.
They split into four different directions, east, south, west, and north, and launched attacks toward the retreating forces of the Seven Great Nations.
Their destructive power was nearly measured in "hundreds of millions."
Basically, whoever got hit died.
Wherever they went, no grass grew.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
The Armageddon Black Dragon, relying on energy orbs with infinite AOE damage, fired a single cannonball and swept across an entire region.
This kind of aerial bombardment gave the locked-on enemies no chance to respond. In an instant, massive swaths were directly blasted into smithereens.
The Apex Predator was like a child playing, instantly killing anyone it saw.
Using the exclusive effect of [Glory of the World · Undying Berserk Body], it triggered "Instant Strike" after every kill. Its body flashed like lightning, darting through the crowd at extreme speed.
Ten kills!
Hundred kills!
Thousand kills!
As easy as flipping a hand.
These elite troops from various nations were like ants before the Apex Predator, unable to resist at all. They couldn't even catch its shadow and all died invisibly.
As a magic artillery battery, Cherry relied on her SSS-level unique AOE skill [Infinity · Blizzard], annihilating heaven, earth, and air alike.
In the areas covered by snow and ice, over a thousand enemies were submerged in damage as high as 150–200 million, bursting into bright light, or perhaps starlight.
According to the traits of [Glory of the World · Undying Immortal Body], killing with any skill refreshed all cooldowns.
So Cherry's Blizzard skill basically entered a no-cooldown mode, releasing it infinitely.
Don't ask where Cherry got that Blizzard skill.
Ask, and the answer is: Ice-Sealed War God gave it to her.
As a tank with the role of a [Knight], Ice-Sealed War God focused on defense, but with a damage output of around 80 million, against the Seven Great Nations' professionals, who typically had just two or three million HP, it was like a giant crushing ants, completely overpowering them.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
With a swing of his weapon, a large group of little devils from the Eastern Nation turned into ice sculptures and were then shattered.
Truly, kill gods if gods block, kill Buddhas if Buddhas block.
Zhang Yue hadn't even taken action personally, just a few of his pets alone had already dealt a devastating blow to the armies of the Seven Great Nations.
Of course, Zhang Yue wasn't idle either.
With one blink, he teleported onto the Armageddon Black Dragon.
Riding the dragon, he flew to the forefront of the retreating Cold Nation and Eastern Nation forces, then descended.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Thundercloud storm!
Lightning and thunder!
Death storm!
Hell judgment!
Four AOE skills were cast in four different spots. In an instant, they engulfed the frontmost group of professionals.
The next second—
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Over a thousand bright lights shot up into the sky, illuminating the heavens.
Among them were many starlights, representing permanent death.
This was the effect of the mythical artifact [Demonic Contract]. When Zhang Yue or his pets killed enemies, there was a 10% chance to ignore all resurrection abilities of the enemy and directly apply a permanent erasure effect.
Seeing their teammates in the front vanish mid-run, the rear ranks, right in the direct line facing Zhang Yue, Celebrity Eternal and Higashino Araki were stunned.
Both of them swallowed hard.
From Zhang Yue's presence, they felt an unprecedented sense of intense fear.
"All our people have resurrection scrolls. He clearly has no Death Mark. Why can his attacks cause permanent erasure?"
"Forget that for now, the urgent task is to find a way to retreat! Avoid fighting him, or it's certain death!"
"So, tell me, how do we retreat?"
Ahead, beside Zhang Yue, the Armageddon Black Dragon opened its bloody maw and let out a long roar.
The professionals from Cold Nation and Eastern Nation were so frightened they all backed away, not a single one dared take a step forward.
Zhang Yue, carrying his staff, swept his gaze casually over Celebrity Eternal and Higashino Araki and said lightly, "You went through so much trouble, wasn't it to kill me?"
"Now I'm standing right in front of you. What's the matter, don't want to kill me anymore?"
Celebrity Eternal's eyes darted: "Ah… ah, I'm feeling a bit unwell today. Let's fight another day!"
Zhang Yue smiled calmly and said, "Then how about I send you on your way, go back and rest."
Celebrity Eternal, "Thanks, no need. I can go back myself!"
"Life and death are destined, riches are from heaven," Zhang Yue said, "Let's see how your luck turns out."
With that, Zhang Yue raised his staff and locked onto Celebrity Eternal and Higashino Araki.
"Protect the president!"
A group of professionals from Cold Nation and Eastern Nation, eager to curry favor, immediately formed a defensive line in front of Celebrity Eternal and Higashino Araki.
However, Zhang Yue didn't follow the script.
He ignored single-target spells and directly used the freshly cooled-down AOE skill [Thundercloud Storm] to engulf the entire area where the two were standing.
The next second, a bright light lit up.
Higashino Araki burst into bright light.
And Celebrity Eternal, watched in horror as his own hands gradually turned into starlight bit by bit.
At that moment, endless fear erupted, "No! No!"
"I don't want to die! Save me! Someone save me!"
With a piercing scream, Celebrity Eternal turned entirely into starlight, drifting into the sky.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue exhaled lightly, "Not bad luck."
At this point, the people around had already been scared out of their wits.
And Zhang Yue officially entered slaughter mode.

Meanwhile, off the battlefield, Ice Emperor, Moon Mark, and Seraph watched the livestream and sighed with emotion.
"This kid is truly defying the heavens," Seraph exclaimed, "Not only did he complete a zero-probability comeback, he even captured a pseudo-king level BOSS as a pet. Even I want to know, how the hell did he pull that off?"
"One thing's undeniable," Moon Mark said thoughtfully, "When the system broadcasted his death, he was probably still alive, but he let all of us think he was dead."
"Using this chance, he deliberately waited for the Seven Great Nations' army to invade Dragon Nation, then struck, catching them in a trap!"
Seraph gave a heartfelt sigh, "This kid is seriously terrifying!"
"Fortunately, he's from our Dragon Nation. If a person like this appeared in Beacon Nation, Cold Nation, or Eastern Nation, Dragon Nation would probably be finished!"
