CHAPTER 250: CHAPTER 250: DESTROYING THE MILITARY BASE, IMMORTALITY CULTIVATOR

Johnnie and Maiev took the hit head-on. A huge wave of energy swept over and flung them nearly a hundred meters away.

Maiev was fine. As a Divine powerhouse, her body was strong. The blast was fierce, but it couldn’t threaten her life.

Johnnie couldn’t handle it. His insides churned, and waves of burning pain stabbed through him, like his body was melting.

Buzz!

Right then, a surge of Life Force fell over him. A cool feeling washed through, quickly healing his wounds.

It was a powerful life recovery skill.

"Master, there are more of those weapons. Please go back into The Map of Heaven and Earth first." Maiev said, face tense. She had spotted more black dots in the distance rushing in with a roaring sound. She was confident she could block the missiles, but Johnnie definitely couldn’t take another hit.

Johnnie didn’t move.

Maiev couldn’t stay here guarding him forever. He had to find a way to remove this hidden threat for good. Otherwise, if missiles came again while he was logging into the game, the odds would be bad.

"Maiev, hold on a bit." Johnnie said. He used a teleport skill and reappeared a hundred meters away, then called Dylan.

The call was picked up after two rings.

"Johnnie, how is it over there?" Dylan asked, voice anxious.

"Not dead yet." Johnnie said flatly. Another blast boomed nearby, and he had to keep using short teleports to dodge.

He went on, "I need the coordinates of every country’s missile launch bases, including nuclear ones."

Dylan’s heart sank. It seemed like Johnnie wanted to wipe out every country’s strategic weapons.

He hesitated and asked, "Including Dragon Nation?"

"Yes." Johnnie knew that with Ava’s ability, as long as those long‑range doomsday weapons could be controlled through the net, he’d be in danger.

Dylan went quiet again. After a while, he said, "Johnnie, I can give you the coordinates of other countries’ missile launch bases, but not Dragon Nation’s."

Before Johnnie could speak, he went on, "The one hacking the networks isn’t as strong as people think, especially against military networks. It can break in, but it can’t fully control them. That means each country can stop it."

"Oh?" Johnnie’s face turned cold, a hard light in his eyes. "So you’re saying these missile attacks were actually ordered by the countries themselves, and the machine overlord Ava’s hack is just an excuse."

Dylan: "That’s right. Take our country. We can easily cut off Ava’s intrusion. It can’t launch our missiles at all."

Johnnie frowned and said coldly, "So our Spiderweb interception system is working, too."

Spiderweb is a complete, powerful missile interception system that can stop most missiles.

But he was under missile attack now and nothing was intercepting them. There was only one explanation: the Spiderweb system had been shut down by force.

He didn’t think Ava did that.

Most likely, the people above wanted to test his strength, or use other countries’ hands to get rid of him.

Silence came again on the line. After a long pause, Dylan spoke with a helpless tone: "Johnnie, this is all classified. I can only tell you the old leader strongly opposed it, but this is the order from above. We couldn’t stop it."

"From above?" Johnnie was confused. "There’s someone who can give orders to the old leader?"

Dylan said again, "That’s classified too. I can’t say. You can ask the old leader."

Johnnie was curious about what kind of power stood above Dragon Nation.

But he wasn’t in a hurry to dig into that. Right now the key was to end the missile threat.

He added, "Send me the coordinates of other countries’ missile launch bases, including the nuclear ones."

Johnnie didn’t want to destroy these weapons. When the game merges with reality and alien races arrive, those long‑range missiles could be very useful.

But right now, these weapons were a threat to him.

Also, in this life, he would never let the game merge or let alien races descend. He had to keep them trapped on the Universe Continent.

Johnnie hung up. Soon, Dylan sent an email with detailed locations of each country’s heavy‑weapon launch bases.

They couldn’t pin down some nuclear submarines, though.

Johnnie didn’t care. He would clear the launch bases first.

"Maiev, come with me." He summoned Demon Wing, took Maiev, and flew straight toward the nearest military base.

As they approached, sirens blared. Missiles of all kinds came in one after another.

As expected, the military systems hadn’t crashed at all. These missile strikes were likely ordered by the top people behind those countries.

What chilled Johnnie most was that Dragon Nation had even allowed it.

"Maiev, destroy everything here." he said coldly. At the same time, he unleashed the Myriad Sword Technique. Countless strands of sword light gathered and poured down like rain.

Since leaving The Mecha Divine Nation, his strength had grown a lot. After another round of attribute fusion, the Myriad Sword Technique had fully merged into reality. His power had taken a huge leap compared to before.

Maiev drew the Dark‑Moon longbow. A sky‑wide storm of arrows followed, even deadlier than Johnnie’s Myriad Sword Technique.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Inside the base, alarms screamed. Soldiers were in chaos. The rain of sword light and arrows gave them no way to dodge, and the power was terrifying. Even hiding in the underground bunkers couldn’t save them.

"Help! What are those things?"

"Arrows? Sword light? That looks like a skill from Horizon. How is it in the real world?"

"Hurry, call for support..."

Screams echoed. What they saw broke their understanding of reality.

A huge military base was wiped out in moments, turning into a sea of fire. The soldiers took heavy losses.

"Go!" Johnnie didn’t stay. He led Maiev to the next military base.

They kept going, destroying one base after another. No one could stop them.

Later, the major powers learned what was happening. Knowing it was Johnnie’s revenge, they chose to stop resisting, pulled out their soldiers, and left only the heavy weapons behind.

Johnnie didn’t hold back. He destroyed everything in his path.

In three days, he and Maiev together wiped out almost all the major countries’ military bases.

Many forces teamed up and shouted about going to war with Dragon Nation, but most of their heavy weapons were already destroyed. They simply couldn’t do it.

The authorities gave no reply to these protests.

After all this, Johnnie felt he was safe for now in the real world.

As for Dragon Nation’s weapons, he wasn’t worried. At worst, he’d move to a crowded city. The top brass would never destroy a whole city just to deal with him.

Back at Dark Moon Mountain, the place was in ruins. To live there again would take a huge rebuild.

Time was short, and Johnnie didn’t want the younger members of the Yett Family wasting time on that.

After talking with Atlas, they decided everyone from the Yett Family would move to Sunset City.

The Yett Family had stayed hidden from the world, but things were different now. Earth could face a life‑and‑death disaster at any time, so this wouldn’t break their ancestral rules.

Johnnie returned to the villa in Sunset City and left the arrangements for the Yett Family to Crysic.

After hesitating for a while, he called the old leader.

Johnnie had only seen the old leader once in the game, but he knew the old leader’s character. He would never attack him from the shadows.

He was very curious about what forces stood behind Dragon Nation.

The call connected quickly. The old leader’s secretary picked up, learned who Johnnie was, and put him through.

"Johnnie, you stirred up quite a storm this time. It let us vent some anger." came the old leader’s calm, firm voice.

Before Johnnie could speak, he went on, "You’re calling about the missile attacks, right? Dylan told me. It wasn’t my order."

Johnnie grew even more puzzled. "Chief, besides the martial arts families, are there other unknown forces in Dragon Nation?"

"Yes." The old leader didn’t hide it. "You’ve met the martial arts families. You should know about the Immortal Cultivation Sect."

"Immortal Cultivation Sect? Weren’t those big forces already gone?" Johnnie had heard from Atlas and the others that the Immortal Cultivation Sect vanished three thousand years ago. He guessed they had gone into the Universe Continent to stop a possible disaster for Earth.

Nalorin Sylvia’s family was one of those that arrived on the Universe Continent three thousand years ago.

The old leader went on, "I’m not talking about the Immortal Cultivation Sect, but about Immortality Cultivators."

"There are Immortality Cultivators behind Dragon Nation?" Johnnie was surprised. The power of Immortality Cultivators is beyond what most people can imagine.

His current strength already rivals an Immortality Cultivator, but he can’t be judged by their usual cultivation stages.

After Atlas fused his attributes, his strength also rose. He has stepped to the threshold of an Immortality Cultivator, but there’s still a big gap compared to a true one.

It seemed these Immortality Cultivators wanted to test Johnnie’s power.

Johnnie wasn’t afraid at all. He was strong, and he had Maiev by his side—a true Domain.

After this, those people should see his strength and won’t dare to target him easily.

"I only learned about this recently." the old leader explained. "Their goal is also to protect Earth, and they seem to be working with Douglas of the Doe Family."

Working with the Doe Family?

Johnnie’s expression turned cold. What the Doe Family has done doesn’t look like protecting Earth.

He thought for a moment and said, "Old leader, I want to meet these Immortality Cultivators. Can you arrange it?"

Johnnie wanted to know their true purpose. Also, if they were working with Douglas, they might know where he is.

Douglas holds at least three ancient divine artifacts, especially the Celestial Mirror and the Demon-Refining Pot—both of which Johnnie badly wants.
