“BOOM BOOM!”
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
Outside the Eternal Realm, dense shells were still bombarding without the slightest intention of stopping.
This crazy bombardment was simply crazy money-burning!
“Damn it!”
The commander stood in the control cabin, looking at the streaming light barrier that still hadn’t been breached, unable to suppress his fury as he roared: “What level of formation is this!”
Following Tian Mohuang through campaigns in all directions, this was the first time encountering something so troublesome.
There was another reason for such rage—the shells consumed in this short time could have leveled dozens of planes.
“General…”
A subordinate said: “Do we continue bombarding?”
“Bombard!”
“Keep bombarding!”
So many shells had already been fired—if they stopped now, it would be a complete waste of previous efforts, so they must continue increasing firepower!
“General!”
Just as the warships entered a brief ammunition-loading phase, the strategist standing closest to the window exclaimed with delight: “The formation barrier has disappeared!”
The commander looked and was overjoyed: “Finally broke through!”
He was overthinking it.
The World-Protecting Grand Formation suddenly disappeared because it was voluntarily closed from within.
If they wanted to breach it with firepower, they would definitely need to invest much more resources.
“Charge in!”
The commander roared.
They absolutely couldn’t allow the Eternal Realm to raise the formation again. They must seize this opportunity to lead everyone in and slaughter the living beings inside to console the consumed shells!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
In an instant, the warships gathered around jetted flames from their tails, just preparing to charge when they saw that plane gradually showing points of light.
At first, only scattered and sparse, finally covering a vast area.
“Hm?”
The commander’s brows slightly furrowed.
“General!” A subordinate, seeing the true nature of the light points through the optical imaging, exclaimed: “Warriors from the Eternal Realm are coming out!”
“Hmph!”
The commander said coldly: “Seeking death!”
“Swish swish swish!”
“Swish swish swish!”
At the boundary between the Eternal Realm’s spatial barrier and the universe, leadership and disciples led by Gu Zhaoxi flew out with imposing momentum, overflowing with killing intent!
With the World-Protecting Grand Formation closed, the plane was exposed before the enemy army, so what they could do was use their lives to defend the countless living beings behind them!
“Just this few troops?”
The commander said disdainfully: “Overestimating themselves!”
The Eternal Ancestor Sect had essentially mobilized the entire sect. Though accompanied by a million Demon Delusion Army and numerous Avengers, the overall numbers couldn’t compare to Tian Mohuang’s side, which had also mobilized all forces.
“Blast them all!”
To end the battle faster, to complete the task faster, the commander didn’t plan to fight with bayonets but to use their firepower advantage for suppression.
“Crack crack!”
“Crack crack crack!”
Warship after warship moved their cannons, locking onto the warriors flying out from the Eternal Realm. Brilliant energy gradually gathered, then sprayed out streams of fine streaming light bullets.
Not using large shells was also to save money.
Actually, using small, fast, numerous energy bullets for suppression at this time was still a very good method.
“Swish swish swish!”
“Swish swish swish!”
Dense streaming light bullets fell like hail from the sky. Because the coverage area was too wide, the Eternal Ancestor Sect disciples found it very difficult to dodge.
Dodge?
Not happening.
Since they chose to fight head-on, they had to be tough to the end!
“Raise shields!”
Zhong Yi roared.
Vanguard Regiment members raised shields forged from special materials in front of them, forming a rectangular defensive circle.
“Bang bang!”
“Bang bang bang!”
After a moment, streaming light bullets madly struck the shields. Though their power was strong, they couldn’t shake the solid defensive line.
“Scatter!”
Zhong Yi spread both hands to either side.
The Vanguard Regiment members hiding within the rectangular defensive circle all raised their shields and flew out, braving the hail of bullets to disperse to left and right sides, thereby drawing the opponent’s firepower and preventing them from concentrating bombardment!
However.
They still underestimated Tian Mohuang’s side’s firepower suppression. Just as they spread the firing line, dense streaming light bullets pressed down again.
To be precise.
No matter how scattered they were, they all had to endure bombardment like a violent storm of pear blossoms.
“Bang bang bang!”
“Bang bang bang!”
Under endless shell bombardment, the Vanguard Regiment members were suppressed into continuous retreat, and the shields protecting them also gradually showed signs of cracking.
“BOOM!”
“BOOM!”
After a moment, dozens of shields exploded on the spot.
The Vanguard Regiment members who lost protection immediately exposed their entire bodies to the hail of bullets.
“Trouble!”
Zhong Yi’s expression changed drastically.
At this critical juncture, Dark Devastators charged over one after another.
They placed their massive bodies horizontally behind their fellow disciples, palms pressed against the void, condensing materialized hexagonal defensive barriers.
“Bang bang bang!”
“Bang bang bang!”
Rain-like bullets bombarded them but couldn’t shake them in the slightest.
However.
Being a target for bombardment like this ultimately wasn’t a solution, so the urgent task was—they must charge forward!
Under firepower suppression, the Eternal Ancestor Sect’s chief mecha master Jing Zhixiao stepped forward. He piloted the Xiao Tian, charging up like a meteor. Along the way, he either dodged the dense bullets or chose to ram straight through. Upon approaching the warships, he immediately drew the great sword from his back.
“Swish swish swish!”
A massive Z-shaped sword mark appeared in the void.
“Swish—” The Xiao Tian didn’t pause for a moment, jetting flames from its feet as if transforming into Zhao Zilong, charging alone into ten thousand troops.
“Bang bang bang!”
Just after leaving, dozens of star warships within the Z-shaped range exploded on the spot, and all of Tian Mohuang’s soldiers inside perished.
“Swish swish!”
The Xiao Tian’s performance was extremely strong. Combined with extreme speed, it killed into the enemy ranks like a ghost. With every strike of hand and blade—without exception—ships exploded and people died!
What a pity.
There was no enemy kill scoreboard.
Otherwise, Jing Zhixiao would definitely occupy the top position.
“Blast it!” The commander pointed at the Xiao Tian and roared.
“Crack crack!”
Nearby warship hatches opened, and Tian Mohuang’s soldiers swarmed out like locusts.
The Xiao Tian had already charged alone into ten thousand troops—they definitely wouldn’t use firepower suppression since that would be equivalent to using resources to bombard themselves. So they could only resort to bayonets!
Of course.
Just a portion.
At the same time, other warships continued using firepower suppression, preventing the Eternal Ancestor Sect side from charging forward. They even deliberately circled around them, condensing shells to bombard toward the Eternal Realm!
Destroying the opponent’s home base was definitely the currently optimal strategy.
“Protect the plane!”
Xue Rengui, commanding from the Eternal Realm, ordered. Thousands of Dark Devastators were seen hugging close outside the spatial barrier, mutually condensing a massive defensive barrier.
They hadn’t all charged forward precisely to protect the plane behind them.
“Bang bang bang!”
Endless shells pressed over from different directions. Though bombardment on the defensive barrier had little effect, it also consumed energy—after dozens more times, it would definitely break.
No more chances!
Because the Eternal Ancestor Sect leadership and core disciples had already charged forward.
Various divine abilities, various special effects erupted, destroying star warships with overwhelming force while forcing soldiers inside to fly out and choose to fight with bayonets—otherwise, ship death meant self death!
“All warships retreat!”
The commander also realized that if warships didn’t quickly withdraw, they’d be sitting ducks, so he ordered all to retreat and mobilize all forces for numerical suppression!
“Swish swish!”
“Swish swish swish!”
In a moment, warships flew away, spitting out batch after batch of Tian Mohuang’s soldiers. When they gradually gathered, the numbers probably reached nearly ten million.
Among them were also many powerful military generals, condensing various sinister dark powers as they killed forward, entangling with Eternal Ancestor Sect leadership and even core disciples.
The current situation was.
Strong fought strong, weak fought weak.
Tian Mohuang’s side occupied absolute numerical advantage, continuously forming encirclement momentum.
Take Ye Xingchen for example—nearby soldiers alone numbered several thousand, and among them were several Heavenly Mystery Realm-level military generals.
“Die!”
Night Emperor swung his Crescent Blade halberd, directly sweeping across a large area. Blood and severed limbs floated in the starry void.
In terms of killing people.
Ye Xingchen absolutely wouldn’t show any mercy.
In fact, he very much looked forward to being surrounded by more enemies—this way he could share considerable danger from fellow disciples.
“BOOM!”
“BOOM!”
Night Emperor transformed into a war god, explosive power infused into the Crescent Blade halberd, using domineering and cruel methods to annihilate Tian Mohuang’s soldiers. Gradually, the enemy’s blood nearly dyed his armor red.
“Swish—” At this moment, from within the Sacred Fire Judgment binding Jun Changxiao, Red Hair Male walked out cursing: “This kid is a bit troublesome.”
He had thought that trapping the opponent would make it easy to handle, but things weren’t going as smoothly as imagined.
“Hm?”
Red Hair Male continued stabilizing the Sacred Fire Judgment. Inadvertently, he discovered Ye Xingchen currently engaged in slaughter and murmured: “This person is quite fierce.”
He looked again at the battle situation between Tian Mohuang’s army and the Eternal Ancestor Sect disciples. Seeing that the situation hadn’t achieved suppression yet, he shook his head: “I’m waiting to restore my freedom—I don’t have time to waste.”
“Swish!”
After speaking, he casually flicked two fingers.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
In an instant, scorching flame energy condensed at his fingertips. As it continuously rotated and expanded until reaching its limit, it shot out with a “swish,” carrying terrifying power as it pressed toward Ye Xingchen who was in the midst of great slaughter!
Red Hair Male’s meaning was—casually help Tian Mohuang’s army eliminate troublesome enemies while his main task was handling the green-haired man trapped in the Judgment.
The one jumping around most, I’ll handle.
If you still can’t take down the Eternal Realm with this, you really are wastes raised by Tian Mohuang!
“Swish—”
The flame energy pressed down from above, its scorching aura severing space.
“Not good!”
Just after finishing off a Heavenly Mystery Realm military general, Ye Xingchen caught an intense sense of crisis. His expression changed drastically as he raised his head to look. Not looking would have been fine—one look and his heart went cold!
The flame power Red Hair Male seemed to casually condense was actually no weaker than when he bombarded the World-Protecting Grand Formation earlier. Forget him, Ye Xingchen—even an upper-tier Heavenly Mystery Realm cultivator wouldn’t dare resist!
“Junior Brother Ye, dodge quickly!” Li Qingyang, Su Xiaomo, and others engaged in slaughter in the distance all roared upon seeing this.
Dodge.
Too naive.
The flame power Red Hair Male condensed was too strong, even forming some kind of aura that sealed Ye Xingchen. He simply couldn’t move his body and could only watch helplessly.
“Ahhh—”
At this life-or-death moment, Night Emperor’s veins bulged as he roared.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The Immortal Sound power within his body erupted, attempting to break the invisible pressure control. But having just comprehended it not long ago with too little quantity, it simply couldn’t shake it!
Before absolute strength, resistance was truly difficult.
“Junior Brother Ye!”
Li Qingyang and the others’ eyes nearly split with rage, yet they also couldn’t reach out to help due to distance.
No.
Even if they could arrive in time to assist, the outcome would be perishing together.
It could be said that being able to fight Tian Mohuang to a standstill, Red Hair Male’s strength was extremely terrifying. Any target he locked onto would face an unsolvable dead end, unless…
“Whoosh whoosh!” With Night Emperor in extreme danger, He Wudi flew over at extreme speed from the distance, Immortal Sound power spraying from both palms to the limit. Moving at super speed, his entire face was blown into distortion.
However.
He tried his best.
But there was still distance from Ye Xingchen.
Even if he rushed over, he had no confidence in protecting him and might even implicate himself.
At this moment, He Wudi didn’t consider so much. He had only one thought in his heart—he must do everything possible to save Ye Xingchen. Only this way could he live up to the Sect Master, live up to the sect!
Reality was cruel.
The speed of the descending flames was clearly faster. The scorching heat waves pressed down with nearly terrifying power ravaging the surrounding space.
“Ahhhh!”
He Wudi raged and roared, burning the Immortal Sound power within his body, yet could only witness the scorching power continuously closing in on Ye Xingchen, along with the human figure appearing before him…
Human figure??
He wasn’t seeing things!
A person had appeared out of thin air in front of Ye Xingchen, raising a heavy shield before them, using a seemingly fragile posture to face that descending ten thousand pounds of force.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Heavy aura permeated, gathering into a magnificent body that suddenly pressed both palms on the streaming light giant shield and roared: “My strength can uproot mountains, my spirit overshadows the world!”
The Hegemon-King of Western Chu.
The heroic soul that recognized Xiao Zuiji!
“…” Ye Xingchen was stunned, then immediately roared: “Leave quickly!”
Xiao Zuiji stood in place, both hands desperately bracing the streaming light giant shield. As the pressure continuously erupted and impacted the defensive line, the mecha wrapping his arms gradually cracked until it shattered with a boom.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The flames continued sinking, like that prehistoric comet colliding with Earth. Upon touching the shield’s defensive zone, magnificent energy ripples immediately rose.
“BOOM—” At this moment, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu Xiang Yu withdrew both hands, barely managing to punch toward Ye Xingchen from under the pressure, sending him flying with one strike.
Without the heroic soul’s reinforcement, defense sharply decreased.
The flying Ye Xingchen clearly witnessed Xiao Zuiji turn his head in profile, the corner of his mouth showing a smile as he said: “I’m willing to use this broken body to bear the thunder’s fury for you all.”
“NOOO!!!”
Night Emperor roared with tears streaming down like rain. The scene he witnessed existed only for a moment before being mercilessly engulfed by flames.
“Junior Brother Xiao!”
“Senior Brother Xiao!”
…
Jun Changxiao, sitting cross-legged in the endless sea of fire, suddenly opened his eyes. His mind seemed ready to completely explode because something important had suddenly been lost.
“Ding! Sect members: 149,999.”
Over these years, the Eternal Ancestor Sect had always followed an elite path, so membership wasn’t numerous—barely reaching 150,000. Now… one less.
The system fell silent for a moment, then said with difficulty: “Xiao Zuiji has perished.”
Hearing this, Xiao Duo immediately pulled out the champagne prepared since chapter 500, excitedly cheering: “Jun Gou’s sect finally had a disciple die, and it’s even a protagonist-fated core disciple—great cause for celebration, hahaha!”
“Pfft!”
Jun Changxiao spat a mouthful of blood, his complexion becoming extremely pale. The fury and killing intent within his body erupted like a volcano, madly stimulating every nerve. His entire person seemed to completely ignite.
