#437 - Great victory!
Ah, this?
We have the advantage?
Wang Jixuan hovered outside the atmosphere, frowning as he gazed at the battle that had spread out to a vast scale.
His spiritual sense couldn't even cover one-sixth of the battlefield.
In other words, these cultivators couldn't observe the entire battle with their spiritual sense either, and could only rely on their naked eyes to see how the battle was unfolding.
They were being divided and surrounded.
More than forty starships of various sizes, with different functionalities, and somewhat 'old-fashioned' designs—modified versions of the Earth civilization's first-generation expedition starships—were wrapped in thick spiritual energy shields, constantly releasing drone swarms and mechanical bodies.
These warships instantly reminded Wang Jixuan of their old nemesis.
Pillar Blade Beasts!
The combat mode of humanity's first expeditionary army was practically a one-to-one replica of the Pillar Blade Beasts!
—Subsequent warship construction returned to a route centered on technological techniques.
These warships posed a great threat to both spiritual cultivators and practitioners.
First, there were the thick spiritual energy shields on the outside, coupled with spiritual cultivators and high-level spiritual energy users providing cover, making it impossible for cultivators who relied on individual strength to carry out their favorite 'boarding' tactics.
Second, there were the mechanical bodies they released, many of which carried formations and self-contained spiritual energy, capable of trapping these cultivators in illusion formations and trapping formations from time to time.
If there were cultivators proficient in formations, they could quickly break through these formations that couldn't be changed in time in space.
But not every cultivator had talent and aptitude in formations.
This group of cultivators was being divided and surrounded in this way.
However, humans also lacked weapons that could effectively kill these cultivators.
Even if humans risked damaging themselves by eight hundred, using nuclear bombs to light up small suns in space—the electromagnetic pulse of nuclear bombs would cause irreversible damage to electronic equipment—these cultivators could withstand the brief illumination of these small suns by protecting themselves with their magic power.
Unless they slammed a nuclear bomb into a cultivator's arms.
However, Amina, Wu Man, Zheng Shiduo, and others formed a small assassination squad, taking advantage of the Dark Cultists' separation to concentrate their firepower to eliminate weaker ordinary Dark Cultists one by one, and then roll their advantage to liberate more spiritual cultivators, and then lock their target on the two Mahayana stage elders.
'Fortunately, they are Mahayana stage in name only.'
Wang Jixuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew exactly how terrifying the destructive power of a cultivator who had cultivated to Mahayana through bitter cultivation could be.
These two Dark Cult elders did seem to be lacking, and they didn't even have treasures like the God-Slaying Claw.
Wang Jixuan didn't watch any more, took the small box given by Peony with him, and connected himself to the command system here, exposing his position to the command systems of 'Fu Jian's Brain' and Peony.
He locked onto a Mahayana elder and quietly sneaked up to him.
His own fleet immediately made adjustments, and more than a dozen laser rapid-fire cannons turned their direction and joined the attack on this Mahayana elder.
The spiritual cultivator hiding inside the warship's spiritual energy shield had already begun to leisurely taste red wine in order to enrage this guy.
Wang Jixuan, carrying the God-Slaying Claw, successfully arrived outside this encirclement.
There were still three other Dark Cultists here, but their cultivation levels were all in the early stages of the Integration Realm, and they were not difficult to deal with.
Wang Jixuan held his breath and concentrated, using the Dragon Python Alien Soul to activate the God-Slaying Claw, and quietly arrived behind the side of this Mahayana elder.
He was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for the opportunity.
Several inches of 'nails' slowly grew out of the front end of the God-Slaying Claw, which was the complete state of this treasure.
It seemed that the remnant soul of the Flood Dragon inside couldn't wait to welcome a new life.
Now!
Wang Jixuan's alien soul left his body, holding the God-Slaying Claw and rushing forward at high speed, leaving several afterimages in the space environment!
Although the fake Mahayana was angry, he did not relax his vigilance. At this moment, he sensed danger coming from behind, and his figure immediately turned over, throwing out more than a dozen streams of light at will.
A black claw suddenly enlarged!
Like a Canglong strike!
All those streams of light were swatted away!
"God-Slaying Claw!"
The old man roared silently in the near-vacuum environment, his figure retreating rapidly, but at this moment, another warning sign appeared behind him.
The Earth spiritual cultivator who had been hiding had actually taken the initiative to attack at this moment, unfolding hundreds of hexagonal walls behind him, and various abilities burst out, covering the old man's entire body with a large stream of light.
Wang Jixuan took the time to look at this guy.
He had some impression, it seemed to be Wanda's core circuit inheritor? After so many years, this guy actually looked a little younger.
This person grasped the timing of the attack very well, and his application of the spiritual energy circuit was also good. He also knew how to create illusions to hide his killing moves, and how to condense power to deliver a fatal blow.
He could be considered a talent.
While Daoist Wang's thoughts were flowing, the result of this sneak attack had already come out.
The Mahayana cultivator screamed, with a large hole in his chest, and turned around to escape regardless of everything.
The offensive launched by the Earth spiritual cultivator was not a big threat to him.
What really seriously injured his Dao body and Yuanshen was the God-Slaying Claw.
How could Wang Jixuan let this person escape?
He carried the Moonflower Sword, used the Space Escape Technique, rushed upwards diagonally, grabbed this Mahayana elder and engaged in a chaotic battle.
The Earth spiritual cultivator saw this and no longer moved forward, turning around to rush to other local battlefields to provide support.
Wang Jixuan's alien soul came again with the God-Slaying Claw.
He used his mind for two purposes, relying on the power of the God-Slaying Claw to beat this Mahayana elder back step by step, and constantly evaluated in his heart how unstable this elder's Dao foundation was and how illusory his Dao fruit was.
However, when Wang Jixuan thought that the difficulty for this kind of Mahayana who had joined the Dark Cult to become an immortal was much lower than that of a 'genuine cultivator' like him, and even had the protection of immortal spiritual energy…
Wang Jixuan's attack became heavier and darker.
Finally, when the Moonflower Sword flashed again, the head of this Mahayana elder flew upwards, leaving most of the mana in his body with no chance to be used, turning into streams of spiritual energy to fill the space.
Wang Jixuan repeated the same trick, letting the alien soul directly devour the person's remaining Yuanshen, put away the person's body, and turned to rush to another Mahayana elder.
The people of the Dark Cult really didn't expect that they would fall into such a state after mobilizing dozens of people.
The Earth civilization also did not expect that the strong enemy that their great pioneers had always been concerned about would be completely suppressed by relying only on the backbone warships of the First Expeditionary Fleet, coupled with more than three million mechanical bodies, as well as a dozen spiritual cultivators and hundreds of spiritual energy users on their side.
However, at this moment, the most stimulated was obviously another wave of 'Lower Realm Travelers'.
...
Hui Zhi Sanren led her three subordinates, cooperating with two Earth warships with thick spiritual energy shields, and was besieging four Dark Cultists.
Hui Zhi Sanren kept observing the battle situation.
Her mood completed several obvious changes, from initial worry to later shock to current numbness.
The effective combination of spiritual energy and machinery;
Human imitation of the Pillar Blade Beasts;
The gorgeous transformation of human civilization over the past one hundred and eighty years;
Left a deep impression on Hui Zhi Sanren in this way.
Hui Zhi Sanren knew the uniqueness of the Immortal Forbidden Land, but this kind of uniqueness still exceeded her cognitive range.
As a result, Hui Zhi Sanren subconsciously didn't worry about whether Wang Jixuan could defeat the group of Dark Cultists left on the surface.
She had already sent a message to her side.
Their Tianluo Sect also had their own plans.
Hui Zhi Sanren and the other twelve Tianluo Sect members came here first to set up an ambush and discuss with Wang Zheng;
When the Dark Cultists appeared, Hui Zhi Sanren immediately reported the number and strength of these Dark Cultists. The Tianluo Sect could send reinforcements over within two hours, and Hui Zhi Sanren and the other twelve Tianluo Sect members only needed to escape outwards, waiting for the 'army of the Tianluo Sect to attack' and then turn back to form a pincer attack.
It's just looking at it now…
Hui Zhi Sanren had already begun to hesitate whether to send an urgent letter to her superiors again, telling them not to waste a huge amount of spiritual stones to open the Myriad Realms Teleportation Array…
They were obviously about to win, what were they coming for?
Then Hui Zhi Sanren remembered the third question Wang Zheng had asked before.
If Wang Zheng went back with them, would he need to erase all the traces he had left in this Immortal Forbidden Land.
If the traces needed to be erased, these 'strange ships' in this world, the terrifying monster tide they had seen when they first came, and these magical spiritual cultivators, would all have to be erased by the Tianluo Sect.
How much manpower and material resources would that require?
I'm afraid they would have to ask the immortals of the Immortal Realm to take action?
Hui Zhi Sanren kept thinking.
The newest and most complete novels are all on 6 9 books Ba Ba first!
She had the full power to deal with it.
Today, the combat power shown by the Earth civilization and the spiritual cultivators also made her look at them with new eyes.
Hui Zhi Sanren's mind turned, and she already had a plan.
They didn't need to worry too much about this matter, they just needed to bring Wang Zheng back to report. The future of this Immortal Forbidden Land would naturally be determined by the superiors, depending on whether Wang Zheng had the ability to make the superiors listen to him.
Hui Zhi Sanren's pair of autumn eyes turned slightly, and a burst of laughter had already come from the side.
It was one of their own Tianluo Sect members who had succeeded and blasted a Dark Cultist to death.
A few smiles appeared on her lips.
Unfortunately, that beautiful face was covered by this layer of disguise, and no one could appreciate it.
Hui Zhi Sanren exhaled lightly, and was just about to concentrate on facing the enemy when a sudden change occurred. Three Dark Cultists came from the direction of the surface and rushed towards this place.
Wang Zheng was killed by the other party?
Hui Zhi Sanren was shocked.
If Wang Zheng was killed by the Dark Cult, she would definitely be blamed for ineffective handling. The superiors were still quite interested in the core circuit method created by Wang Zheng.
However, very quickly, Hui Zhi Sanren noticed something was wrong.
These three Dark Church disciples, after barging into the boundary of her spiritual sense's exploration, not only looked panicked and dazed, but also kept looking back, as if some ferocious beast was chasing them.
They were running for their lives, not coming to provide support.
Sanren Huizhi's mind was a little muddled again... She clearly remembered that a Dark Church elder had remained on the surface, leading eleven or twelve Dark Church disciples...
When the three Dark Church disciples joined the battle, constantly shouting, the remaining Dark Church disciples were obviously also flustered and hurriedly tried to break free from this place.
However, the firepower of the human warships that had been waiting for a long time suddenly doubled, a large number of mechanical bodies rushed into space, and the number of various formations increased twofold.
These Dark Church disciples were once again plunged into the vast ocean of the mechanical army.
Sanren Huizhi felt both唏噓(xī xū, murmur with emotion) and amused at the sight.
Then her spiritual sense saw the entire process of the third Grand Ascension Realm elder among these Dark Church disciples being ambushed and killed by Wang Ji Xuan's otherworldly soul wielding the God-Slaying Claw.
Sanren Huizhi: ...
Did she just sense a fluctuation that only immortal artifacts possess?
Wang Zheng has an immortal artifact?
Although the God-Slaying Claw was immensely powerful, the source of the fluctuation was not it.
For a time, Sanren Huizhi only felt that Wang Zheng had an added layer of mysterious radiance, and this layer of mysterious radiance should have been the kind that ordinary cultivators had when looking at them, the Sky Net Assembly.
After the third Grand Ascension Realm elder of the Dark Church was killed, Wang Ji Xuan no longer used the Moonflower Sword, and began to run around with the God-Slaying Claw.
All the mechanical bodies were cooperating with his actions;
The allied spiritual cultivators were also adjusting their offensive rhythm around his trajectory.
Wang Ji Xuan was not like those Tribulation Transcension Realm cultivators who were forced to mature by immortal spiritual energy; his foundation was so solid that it could not be more solid. His internal magic power had not shown any signs of depletion even after fighting until now, and he even had the Dragon-Python Otherworld Soul assisting him, occasionally using demonic techniques to disturb the enemy's minds.
Therefore, wherever he passed, Dark Church disciples fell one after another.
If Sanren Huizhi hadn't transmitted her voice in time, asking him to leave a few alive, Wang Ji Xuan would have been able to kill all these guys within half an hour.
However, three or four Dark Church disciples still escaped.
This group of Dark Church disciples who escaped from the surface split into two groups, one group rushing to this place for support, and the other group being quick-witted, seeing that the battle situation in outer space was completely unfavorable to them, and started fleeing.
They didn't even know where they could escape to, but they just wanted to leave this vicinity first.
The humans had already dispatched reserve warships to pursue them.
Sanren Huizhi was still somewhat dazed, and had already been invited to wait on a nearby warship.
All twelve of them from the Sky Net Assembly were unscathed.
This made the Sky Net Assembly, who had been prepared for a fierce battle, a little unable to recover their senses.
Was this still a war between their Sky Net Assembly and the Dark Church disciples?
The twelve of them were purely spectators!
Before long, Wang Ji Xuan led a group of allied spiritual cultivators and psionicists, having the mechanical bodies carry over thirty corpses and escort seven Dark Church disciples.
Wang Ji Xuan kept the corpses of the three Grand Ascension Realm elders for himself.
That was his deserved trophy.
Sanren Huizhi sighed softly. She stepped forward and slightly bowed to Wang Ji Xuan, saying softly:
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for killing so many Dark Church disciples and making great contributions to the Sky Net Assembly.”
Wang Ji Xuan shook his head with a smile and said gently: “Let's still do as before. Each fellow Daoist cuts off a few noses and divides up these prisoners. I have not yet joined the Sky Net Assembly, so this kind of merit is of little use to me. However... we are already in an irreconcilable feud with the Dark Church disciples. They will definitely not let us go easily, and we cannot easily escape. I wonder if the Sky Net Assembly can provide us with protection.”
Sanren Huizhi pondered for a moment.
The old man with the highest cultivation had already taken the initiative to disperse his disguise, revealing his immortal-like appearance, and bowed to Wang Ji Xuan.
“This poor Daoist is Qing Xu, an elder of the Sky Net Assembly.
“Today's great victory is truly uplifting!
“Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist, it is no problem to include this realm under the protection of the Sky Net Assembly. If you can kill more Dark Church disciples, our Sky Net Assembly will definitely reward you handsomely!”
Wang Ji Xuan shook his head with a smile: “There are also countless living beings here. If we can draw the flames of war away, that would be even better. Moreover, this realm also has a massive number of Blade Beasts, so there are already many powerful enemies.”
The old man pondered for a moment.
The surrounding people each dispersed their disguises, revealing their true appearances, in order to show the Sky Net Assembly's respect for the people of this realm.
Sanren Huizhi's mood was inexplicably uneasy.
She had quite a bit of confidence in her appearance. When she was cultivating in seclusion in the sect in her early years, she didn't know how many fellow disciples pursued her, and she also attracted many crazy admirers when traveling outside. However, she had never looked at them squarely... Today, she was faintly looking forward to it, wondering how this male cultivator in front of her would look at her...
Wang Ji Xuan's gaze swept across, and he nodded with a smile to Sanren Huizhi;
Then, his gaze shifted to the other Sky Net Assembly members, nodding with a smile as well.
That gaze did not deceive people.
Without any ripples.
