“Not good!”
When strange cylindrical devices gathering energy light appeared in the bottom holds of the ten warships, the powerhouses of Lingtian Immortal Sect and others immediately realized something was wrong.
“Retreat, retreat, retreat!”
“Swish!”
Everyone hastily scattered, but before they could withdraw, ten beams of light instantly shot out from the cannon-like devices, their speed so fast that they were given no time at all!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Deafening explosions suddenly rang out across the entire Upper Realm, and the space in the area where the warships hovered immediately became distorted.
“My heavens!”
“What kind of power is this!”
All the martial artists’ eyes went wide, intense shock rising in their hearts!
Jun Changxiao was not surprised.
Because the moment the cannon-like devices appeared, he realized this was definitely a highly offensive high-tech weapon.
“Thud!”
“Thud!”
The powerhouses from the ten great Immortal Sects fell to the ground one after another, struggling to stand up, unable to suppress a spray of blood, their pale faces clearly showing they were seriously injured.
Peak Truth-Seeking Realm cultivators, injured by a single strike—the power of those beams was truly terrifying!
“Oh?”
A surprised voice came from the main warship: “To actually withstand an attack from a third-class Extraordinary Annihilation Wave, it seems this realm’s overall martial prowess is not weak. This trip should not be in vain—there should be unexpected resource gains.”
“…”
True Person Tonggu, True Person Qiye, and other independent cultivators’ faces turned extremely ugly.
Even the powerhouses of the ten great Immortal Sects were easily defeated—these suddenly appearing warships were extremely dangerous, and might very well plunge the Upper Realm into an irredeemable situation!
“Forget it, forget it.”
“Since you won’t cooperate, this young master will just find it himself.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
As soon as the words fell, dense swarms of unmanned combat aircraft flew out from the ten warships, then quickly flew at ground level, releasing red infrared-like light as if exploring the terrain.
“Stop them!”
The Lingtian Immortal Sect powerhouse roared angrily.
“Attack!”
“Attack!”
The Immortal Sect powerhouses gathered at Eternal Immortal Mountain all rushed forward, each locking onto the unmanned combat aircraft that seemed to be searching for something!
This attempt to stop them was correct.
Because they were searching for mineral veins existing within the Upper Realm.
If they truly formed a carpet search, all resources buried underground would be detected by some kind of high-tech means, becoming possessions of the invaders.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
In an instant, over a hundred martial artists from the ten great Immortal Sects engaged in fierce battle with the unmanned combat aircraft flying around like flies everywhere. Various lights flashed in the firmament and low altitude, presenting exceptionally spectacular visual effects.
“Disciple.”
True Person Tonggu said in a deep voice: “Set up the formation and protect yourselves!”
“Swish!”
Having said this, he transformed into a stream of light and rushed out.
Going with him were True Person Qiye, the Seven Sages of Piaomiao, and other independent cultivators, as well as experts from various clans.
The invaders had suddenly descended, threatening the entire Upper Realm, so as members of it, they naturally had to step forward without shirking to defend their homeland.
“Brother!”
Gu Zhaoxi said: “What should we do?”
“Watch.” Jun Changxiao said.
“Buzz!”
The Sect Protection Grand Formation activated.
“Buzz!”
Eternal Immortal Mountain’s second defensive system activated.
After all the formations fully activated, Jun Changxiao truly just stood in front of the great hall to watch the show.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but in this kind of collision between high martial civilization and technological civilization, with his current strength he simply wasn’t qualified to participate. All he could do was ensure the sect wasn’t affected!
“Ding! Epic Quest Triggered!”
The notification sound suddenly rang in his ears, and Jun Changxiao was instantly dumbfounded.
Given the current situation, receiving a side quest would be normal, but receiving an epic quest was a bit unscientific. After all, the prerequisite for triggering one was reaching the peak of a certain realm. He hadn’t done anything now, and hadn’t even crushed an Experience Talisman, so why did one appear?
“Swish!”
He pulled up the panel and clicked on the description.
Upper Realm Version Epic Quest [Five]
Quest Details: Star Spirit Realm Third Fleet invades the Upper Realm. The host and sect must share honor and disgrace, advance and retreat together, defending the homeland where they reside.
Quest Conditions: Shoot down unmanned combat aircraft 0/10000, shoot down shuttle warships 0/2.
Quest Reward: ???
“…”
After reading the quest description, Jun Changxiao held his head, breaking down: “This is forcing me onto the battlefield!”
Going with steeled resolve wouldn’t be much of a problem, but he could only provide support on the flanks. Yet the quest conditions required shooting down ten thousand unmanned aircraft and two…
Looking up at the warships as huge as mountains, Gou Sheng wanted to cry but had no tears: “Even Peak Truth-Seeking Realm cultivators can’t break through them, how am I supposed to shoot them down!”
The System said: “Since the epic quest gave this kind of requirement, there must be hope of completion, it’s just that the difficulty is a bit greater. Host, don’t lose heart.”
“It’s not a bit greater!”
Jun Changxiao roared: “It’s harder than ascending to heaven!”
“Brother.”
Gu Zhaoxi said: “Don’t you think these warships are a bit like Star Fortress?”
“They are a bit similar.”
The ten massive warships and the former Star Fortress had one thing in common—their exteriors were like copper walls and iron ramparts, seemingly indestructible.
“Wait!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes lit up: “They can be blown up!”
The next second, a dejected expression appeared on his face. To blow up this kind of giant warship, ordinary explosives definitely wouldn’t work. Unless it was a Soul Bomb, but that thing was gone after blowing up Star Fortress.
“Very simple, refresh the Shop!”
“If it really can be refreshed at this time, won’t readers think it’s too contrived!”
“Never mind all that—what heaven arranges is paramount!”
“Correct!”
Jun Changxiao hastily pulled up the Shop, praying devoutly in his heart: “Tathagata Buddha, Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, please grant me power!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Just then, several hundred unmanned aircraft came flying at an angle from the firmament, missiles shooting out, directly bombarding Eternal Immortal Mountain’s second formation defensive system.
“Boom boom boom!”
Under this kind of high-tech power, the layers of defense arranged by Elder Taixuan were instantly broken through.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
The hundred aircraft didn’t stop there. They circled Eternal Immortal Mountain once, finally locking onto Eternal Sect, which only had its Sect Protection Grand Formation remaining.
“Trouble!”
True Person Tonggu, who was in another part of the high sky, changed expression slightly, but immediately his eyes widened, because over a thousand huge humanoid steel monsters suddenly flew out from within the Sect Protection Grand Formation. They hovered above the sect, raising their palms one after another, with vortex openings appearing in their palm centers.
“What are these things?” True Person Qiye exclaimed.
“Oh?”
A voice came from the main warship: “This realm actually has mecha?”
“Clack!”
“Clack!”
A thousand Dark Destroyer units were ready. Zhong Yi, piloting Unit One, pushed the control stick and shouted: “Attack!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
In an instant, driven by formations and Profound Stones, beams of light shot out from the mecha palm centers, instantly weaving together a dazzling spectacle!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Although the hundred aircraft dodged left and right, they couldn’t face the dense barrage of a thousand light streams. They were quickly shot down one by one, some exploding on the spot, others trailing thick black smoke as they crashed into the mountains and wilderness.
Of course.
Some fish slipped through the net and escaped, taking the opportunity to launch missiles.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Gu Zhaoxi flew out from the Sect Protection Grand Formation, his True Spirit Power bursting forth, instantly forming a substantial large palm that caught the incoming missiles bare-handed, then fiercely threw them back, directly detonating a drifting aircraft in the distance.
“Boom!”
On Eternal Sect’s highest mountain peak, Xiao Zuiji, whose entire body was mechanized, extended support frames from his back. His left hand raised a multi-thousand barrel Gatling gun, his right hand raised a belt-fed heavy machine gun, and directly initiated rapid-fire mode!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
“Boom boom boom!”
“Ding! Shoot down unmanned combat aircraft 16/10000!”
“Ding! Shoot down unmanned combat aircraft 48/10000!”
“Ding…”
Under the attack of a thousand Dark Destroyer units and the suppression of a hail of bullets, the squadron of a hundred aircraft that attacked Eternal Sect was completely wiped out, and the epic quest’s count also jumped from 0 to 100.
Outside the mountain gate.
The technological showdown was beautiful as a painting.
Inside the sect.
Jun Changxiao was still frantically refreshing the Shop.
