Dragon Country, Military Department.

In the office of the square-faced man, Lei Qingtian, hailed as the War God of Dragon Country and the Tranquilizer of Dragon Country, looked at the message he had just received.

Although the received message contained no content, Lei Qingtian could discern the meaning it implied.

There was a disturbance in the ancient ruins.

If, in the next hour, Lei Qingtian did not receive a second message, then he would have artillery shells fired towards the ancient ruins.

To destroy the entire ancient ruins.

Long Qingtian's expression was solemn.

A murderous intent emanated from his body in all directions, and even the sky above him was covered by a dark cloud at this moment.

Above the dark cloud, lightning flickered, as if heralding the end of the world.

This caused many soldiers to turn their gaze towards the office where Lei Qingtian was, and their looks became serious amidst their curiosity.

They knew that when a murderous intent began to emanate from Long Qingtian's office, especially when dark clouds appeared in the sky, it signified that a problem troublesome enough to concern Lei Qingtian had arisen.

Those outside were unaware, unknowing, but the people within the Military Department did know something.

At Lei Qingtian's level, even emotional fluctuations could cause changes in the weather.

Just like how the dark clouds in the sky were caused by Lei Qingtian's blossoming killing intent.

The soldiers began to discuss amongst themselves:

"What has happened? Why is such intense murderous intent emanating from Boss Long's office? Even over here, I can feel a shiver in my soul."

"Dark clouds have appeared in the sky! Remember, the last time dark clouds emerged overhead due to Boss Long's mood swings was how many years ago?"

"Could it be that another country is planning to attack our Dragon Country?"

"Impossible, right? Previously, our Dragon Country wasn't strong, so other countries had thoughts about us, but now, with our country's strength, which country would be so blind as to still entertain thoughts against our Dragon Country?"

Amid the discussions, Long Qingtian walked out of his office.

The moment Long Qingtian emerged, many soldiers approached him, wanting to inquire if something had indeed happened.

However, before they could reach him, Lei Qingtian's voice, commanding in the extreme, rang out:

"Attend to your own matters first, and pay attention to my commands later."

His words made people realize that some significant problem might indeed have arisen.

And since Lei Qingtian did not speak further, they refrained from asking more questions.

Instead, they collectively responded, "Yes!"

Lei Qingtian nodded, his figure flashed, and he vanished from the Military Department in an instant.

This scene did not shock the people of the Military Department, as they were already accustomed to such occurrences.

In less than two minutes' time.

Lei Qingtian arrived directly at the location of the ancient ruins.

He had barely landed when his facial expression underwent a dramatic change, and he looked at the entrance to the ancient ruins with deep shock in his eyes!

The True Qi surrounding the ancient ruins had become denser!

Denser by a hundredfold!

And spiritually, True Qi continued to overflow from the inside of the ruins.

It felt as if something was about to awaken from within the ancient ruins.

The surrounding vegetation grew rapidly, a clump of foxtail grass reached three meters in height within just a few seconds.

Lei Qingtian even saw an ordinary rabbit hop past his feet, pause on the spot, and the next second, the rabbit grew to over one meter tall!

Everything around the ancient ruins was changing.

Scene after scene unfolded just as described in novels about the resurgence of Spiritual Energy.

"What... What exactly is going on?"

The occurrence of this scene had left Long Qingtian temporarily unable to calm his emotions, and he wanted to personally enter the ancient ruins to see what was actually happening.

However, when he arrived at the ruins, he was blocked by an invisible barrier, making it impossible for him to enter.

"Damn it!"

Suddenly faced with a change in circumstances that he couldn't understand, Long Qingtian grew impatient.

He fiercely struck the barrier with his fist, using half of his strength!

Yet.

The barrier only rippled around the spot where Long Qingtian had hit it, but it remained undamaged, as intact as before.

A look of astonishment and shock flitted across Long Qingtian's eyes.

It should be noted that although he had only used half his strength, his punch could penetrate through fifty meters of solid steel.

However.

When his punch hit the barrier, it remained as if nothing had happened, still as pristine as it was at the start.

Long Qingtian clenched his teeth.

He threw another punch!

This time, Long Qingtian used seventy percent of his power.

The barrier still showed no sign of damage.

Eighty percent.

Ninety percent.

One hundred percent!

After using all of his strength, a fist imprint identical to Long Qingtian's own appeared on the barrier.

But in the blink of an eye, the fist... simply vanished.

As it always had.

"Damn it! This is truly freaky!"

Long Qingtian cursed again, his gaze shifting to the entrance of the ancient ruins, trying to see past the barrier and into the heart of the ruins.

But Long Qingtian's consciousness was cut off by the barrier, preventing him from seeing what was currently happening inside the ruins.

Long Qingtian was very frustrated.

He stood in place, waiting.

What exactly was happening inside the ancient ruins?

How were Xu Heng and the others doing now?

Long Qingtian pressed a button he held in his hand, but the signal was blocked as soon as it reached the barrier.

At this moment, half an hour had already passed since Xu Heng sent his signal.

There was still one and a half hours left.

If there was still no response from Xu Heng's side after that time, he would have to order unrestricted bombardment to destroy the ancient ruins.

...

The rate at which True Qi was spilling out was too fast.

Some of the people living near Taiyuan Mountain had begun to notice abnormalities.

An elderly man whose bodily functions had almost ceased to work and who had been lying in bed talking to his sons and distributing his property...
