Chapter 1024 - 466: The Fierce Battle Begins!
Anyone could tell that this Pillar Blade Beast, enveloped in golden light, was undergoing a process of ascension and transformation!"Let’s go!"
Nierdamon suddenly waved his hand and charged towards the aft cabin of the supply ship!
"Warriors of the Spirit Cultivation Civilization! Take out your spires, awaken your Spiritual Servants! Darkness will ultimately be shattered by light! I have already sensed the presence of Hei Yao’s core circuit’s Qi!"
The crowd shouted continuously.
It was excitement, it was fervor, as if this was the moment of revenge for the Spirit Cultivators!
They didn’t have numerical superiority, but it didn’t matter, they had reinforcements from Earth Civilization!
Here in the hidden command ship, within the bridge.
Mu Dan’s main body calmly walked towards the isolated throne, her hands pressed lightly downwards from her sides, causing her maid’s outfit to fall away, revealing a perfectly fitted dark green military uniform that wrapped her exquisite figure.
She took a seat, leaned back, tilted her head, and crossed her legs.
Mu Dan’s right ring finger supported her right cheek, her left hand gently raised, slightly sliding.
In the empty bridge, suddenly dozens of projections appeared, and commands began to be transmitted outward.
The perimeter guard fleet opened fire directly.
No negotiations, and no unnecessary words, dozens of thick high-energy ion beams lit up the darkness of space!
Those spires autonomously activated thick Spiritual Shields, blocking the ion beams with Spiritual Energy.
A large amount of starlight appeared at the fleet’s outer perimeter, which were the tail flames of missiles, each carrying a warhead with the latest high-yield nuclear bombs.
Today, no one could make Mu Dan conserve her firepower.
The peripheral fleet launched a wave of offensives, and those missiles would still take some time to "go."
Seventeen spires appeared on their side.
Amina’s and Nierdamon’s spires charged at the forefront, followed by those Spirit Cultivators still fighting for the Spirit Cultivation Civilization.
As these seventeen spires appeared, another dozen or so Spirit Cultivators without spires joined the battlefield.
These were Earth Spirit Cultivators led by Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo.
They did not have these costly spires, nor did they have a vast number of Spirit Slaves, but they did have battle formations on par with their enemies.
Look!
Behind each of these dozen people was a 300-meter-class supply ship. The supply ships opened, releasing 3-meter-tall diverse mechanical bodies.
Some of these mechanical bodies were bulky, carrying massive ammunition packs;
Others were agile, emphasizing flexibility, wielding high-temperature plasma magnetic restraint weapons over ten meters long, simply called—Light Blades.
This was Wu Man’s and their Spiritual Servant army!
Earth Civilization and the remnants of the Spirit Cultivation Civilization joined forces to confront the enemy!
Both sides rapidly closed in, and on the battlefield’s left and right wings, two mechanical fleets from Earth’s human expeditionary force began to enter the scene!
Within the hidden command ship’s bridge, Mu Dan’s lips curled into an elegant smile as she quietly watched this group of enemy Spirit Cultivators, who seemed to be bait.
’Without the Blade Beasts, what will you use to fight a war of attrition with me?’
Mu Dan snorted coldly, beginning to unlock the self-destruct mode for some of the mechanical bodies.
Suddenly.
"Dark Sect Members are here," Wang Jixuan’s voice echoed from the corner, "Elder Shao mentioned, they are on the right wing, attempting to break through."
"Alright, rest assured, officer, we won’t let them affect your matters!"
"Hmm," Wang Jixuan responded, "is there a problem if we have a high mortality rate among the mechanical bodies?"
"No problem at all."
"That’s good," Wang Jixuan acknowledged, "it would be best to assess their strength, if there’s anyone Elder Shao can’t handle, we’ll withdraw immediately."
"Understood."
Mu Dan immediately sat up straight and demurely, waited for two seconds, confirmed that Wang Jixuan was no longer sending communications, then resumed reclining, tilting her head, supporting her hand with her fingers, and crossing her legs.
The Queen would never fear her own master.
This was just a display of respect, yes, just basic respect.
...
The battle erupted in an instant.
This aggressive group of Spirit Cultivators launched an attack and immediately began to retreat. Their goal was likely to draw in Earth’s human forces.
On the battlefield’s left wing, dozens of shadows flew silently forward.
In the void, with some concealment skills, they could perfectly hide themselves.
Among this group, the apparent leaders were a few Dark Sect Loose Immortals from different branches of the True Realm, but in fact, it was the man and woman trailing behind the group.
This pair appeared young-faced.
The man wore a silver-white lock armor, carrying a long spear and a long bow, with long hair tied up elegantly and freely.
The woman wore a light pink ru qun, surrounded by a small bell and a black drum.
They concealed their cultivation levels, both frowning as they gazed at the enormous lobster’s silhouette ahead.
The two communicated through mental transmission:
’Senior Brother, what kind of demon is this?’
’Be cautious, I felt a power inside not weaker than a True Immortal, but this power feels patchy, like it’s been temporarily infused and pieced together.’
’Is Wang Zheng really here?’
’Heavenly Dao can’t be wrong... However, the mission Heavenly Dao assigned was marked with light red, so we must be extremely cautious, this mission carries a deadly risk.’
’Wang Zheng is just in the Tribulation Crossing Realm, even if he possesses Mahayana Realm power, how could he compare to ordinary Immortals? He probably isn’t that much of a threat, Tianluo likely arranged for some expert Heavenly Dao agents.’
’Hmm, that’s probably the case. Later, proceed carefully and let others make the move first... there aren’t many among these people who can really become Immortals.’
The two casually strategized to sacrifice their teammates.
They were quite accustomed to this.
As Dark Sect Members who had climbed from the Lower Realm to the Immortal Realm step by step, this pair of siblings were both Daoist companions and battle comrades. They recognized each other’s viewpoints and clearly understood that if faced with life-threatening danger, the other wouldn’t care about their survival.
They glanced at the right side of the battle.
Two groups of local forces had started to clash.
The two were somewhat surprised.
They had little regard for Hei Yao’s group of Spirit Cultivators, but when these Spirit Cultivators maneuvered their spires and led their Spirit Slaves, their overall combat power was surprisingly decent.
On the other hand...
They couldn’t understand, but they were greatly shaken.
There were no traces of Spiritual Energy duels, yet there appeared explosive spheres of light;
There were ’Mechanical Puppets’ with extraordinary maneuverability capable of threatening those Spiritual Ability Users;
There were massive ships capable of firing high-energy ion beams...
’This Immortal Forbidden land’s development of living force isn’t bad.’
’Still fragile, these ships have fatal weaknesses. Once we break in, we could slaughter within moments.’
’It’s a pity Hei Yao can’t mobilize the so-called Blade Beasts, otherwise we could witness these devices fighting beast hordes.’
The two exchanged their thoughts with a relaxed demeanor.
They looked sideways.
Soon, the man in lock armor slightly raised an eyebrow, lightly shaking a Jade Talisman in his hand.
The leading few Loose Immortals simultaneously raised their hands, like puppets tied to this man’s strings.
Dozens of Dark Sect Members halted simultaneously.
"Senior Brother, what’s wrong?"
"Danger," the man pointed to his forehead.
The woman naturally knew her senior brother possessed an unusually sharp spiritual sense lacking in ordinary Cultivators; it was this sense that had saved them from peril several times.
But, ahead the void seemed calm...
The man contemplated, then signaled a Loose Immortal to lead seven or eight people forward.
Others prepared for support from behind.
Nine unlucky fellows cautiously advanced.
The Pillar Blade Beast Wang Jixuan was refining lay just ahead, the "light pollution" from there was already affecting this area.
Suddenly!
A Wave Trace appeared in the calm void, and a wall assembled from hundreds of stones suddenly emerged, spewing out... hundreds of missiles!
The missiles’ propulsion systems ejected high-speed matter; in the environment without air resistance and with microgravity, their speed skyrocketed, shooting towards the nine individuals!
The leading Loose Cultivator snorted, holding a longsword, its light flickering for tens of miles, and rapidly expanding as it swept forward!
Several fireballs exploded!
These were the missiles hit by that Loose Cultivator’s sweep; their warheads hadn’t detonated.
Yet more missiles, executing ultra-fast vertical maneuvers, perfectly evaded this sword light, and surrounded these nine Dark Sect Members from afar in a bag shape.
Light, unfolded.
One after another, spheres of light linked together, immense energy radiated out!
"Hold!"
