#474 - The fierce battle begins!
"Commander, Yin Lin, the master of the Yin Lin Hall, is on his way with a group of Tian Luo experts."
"What about the Dark Sect people?"
"They've already left the Immortal Spirit Road. Looks like they're joining up with Obsidian. Obsidian might be going all-in."
Peony's voice carried a hint of worry:
"Based on my behavioral model analysis of Obsidian, he might be trying to join this Dark Sect."
"Obsidian's faction has close ties with the Blade Beasts, and they also possess some ancient civilization technology that we can't track. They might cause us some trouble."
"It doesn't matter," Wang Jixuan said, a cold glint in his eyes. "The karma between Obsidian and Yezi hasn't had a chance to be settled. If they show up, today would be a good day."
Peony blinked. "What if we can't win?"
"If we can't win, we run."
Wang Jixuan glared at Peony, annoyed:
"Why are you diminishing our own morale and boosting the enemy's?
Go and silently chant 'We will win this battle' a hundred times!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Peony gave a passable military salute, then immediately launched into a series of five exaggerated faces.
Daoist Wang glanced at the time and pondered briefly, then had his main body teleport towards the dazzling golden light ahead.
The lobster-like terrifying behemoth had begun to undergo some changes in its body.
Hundreds of stars around it shone constantly, the resonance of the Super Transformation Array's formation nodes.
Wang Jixuan's alien soul was currently in the very center of this terrifying behemoth. The alien soul had completely disassembled the Bliss Canopy, changing the original operating system of [Cape Cari None - Bliss Canopy - Pillar Blade Beast Body and Blade Beast Swarm] into [Alien Soul - Huge Body and Blade Beast Swarm].
This was the first step of transformation.
Wang Jixuan had also quickly completed the second and third steps of transformation.
Three hundred and sixty Heavenly Circulation Pathways had been added inside the behemoth's body. These pathways could be independent of each other, or their routes could be changed at any time, allowing the behemoth's body to continuously generate 'demonic power'.
After the spiritual power transformed into demonic power, the quantity was constantly decreasing;
However, the surrounding Blade Beasts were continuously and evenly providing spiritual power feedback to the Pillar Blade Beast, so that the total amount of demonic power in the behemoth's body was now only higher, not lower, than the previous total amount of spiritual power.
At this moment, with the assistance of the Super Transformation Array, Wang Jixuan was repeatedly maintaining the Heavenly Circulation, gradually transforming the demonic power from rough to refined.
Wang Jixuan silently calculated;
With so many Blade Beasts 'donating blood' around and the assistance of the Super Transformation Array, it would only take about half a day to reach the threshold for attempting transformation.
In just half a day, he would have a 'decent' amount of combat power.
… …
[Distance from the Victory at Tuqian Star: 4 hours].
Nielda Tamon, along with a dozen Spirit Reclaimers, hid in an inconspicuous supply ship. Through the ship's circular portholes, they were also observing the Pillar Blade Beast sitting cross-legged in the void.
Amina was also here.
She held the communicator given to her by Peony, acting as a messenger;
Later, as soon as Peony gave the signal, she and Nielda Tamon would lead these dozen or so Spirit Reclaimers who had just opened the restrictions on their core circuits, and rush towards any enemies like Obsidian who might appear.
Nielda Tamon crossed his arms, seemingly lost in thought.
He suddenly said, "You still haven't been able to kiss him?"
Amina was taken aback.
The dozen or so Spirit Reclaimers next to her, who had lived for who knows how many years, pricked up their ears one by one.
Amina frowned. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Just curious," Nielda Tamon cleared his throat. "Although our cooperation during the Earth era wasn't exactly pleasant, we are also friends, Amina. We are similar in our stance on some things, for the glory of the Spirit Reclaiming Civilization."
Amina, however, said, "The Spirit Reclaiming Civilization has no glory. All I see are all kinds of shame."
Nielda Tamon shrugged dismissively. "Say what you will, but I consider you a friend, so I want to express my concern."
"Prepare for battle, Light Warrior."
A Spirit Reclaimer beside him revealed a cruel smile: "If Obsidian shows up, I will definitely tear apart his excretory organs!"
"That bastard, he messed up our civilization!"
"He's responsible for thirty percent of the Blade Beast disaster, no, forty percent, or even more!"
Nielda Tamon raised an eyebrow slightly.
He was just about to bring the topic back to Amina and Wang Jixuan's private life, after all, this burly man really wanted to know everything 'legendary' related to Wang Jixuan.
However, just as the words reached his lips, a Spirit Reclaimer who possessed some 'spatial rule' core circuits suddenly shouted:
"In that direction! In that direction!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger.
In the deep space of the universe, sparse and ancient lights dotted the almost pure black curtain.
One second, two seconds.
A faint distortion suddenly appeared there, the starlight disturbed by a huge lens!
They're coming!
A circular vortex appeared out of thin air, and then a second, a third!
Three Stargates!
However, not many Blade Beast swarms rushed out of the Stargates.
Just as Peony had reported earlier, the brains of the Blade Beasts—those Cari None—had decided after discussion not to participate in this conflict.
More than forty huge spires flew out of the three gates!
These spires were Spirit Energy Flying Ships, with figures standing on each internal level. Those were the Spirit Servants, the Spirit Energy Users, and also the victims of Spirit Energy.
Those who were weaker had already put on specially made combat suits.
And one old Spirit Reclaimer after another stood on the top of the spires, looking at the terrifying behemoth sitting with its back to them in the void ahead.
Anyone could tell that this Pillar Blade Beast, covered in golden light, was undergoing a sublimation and transformation!
"Go!"
Nielda Tamon waved his hand violently, rushing towards the tail compartment of the supply ship!
"Warriors of the Spirit Reclaiming Civilization! Take out your spires and awaken your Spirit Servants! Darkness will eventually be broken by light! I have already sensed Obsidian's core circuit aura!"
The crowd shouted continuously.
It was excitement, it was passion, as if this was the moment of revenge for the Spirit Reclaimers!
They didn't have the advantage in numbers, but it didn't matter, they still had reinforcements from the Earth Civilization!
Here, in the hidden command ship, inside the bridge.
Peony's main body calmly walked towards the isolated throne. She gently pushed down with both hands from under her ribs, and the maid outfit on her body automatically faded away, and a dark green, crisp military uniform wrapped her perfect figure.
Sitting down, leaning back, tilting her head, and crossing her legs.
Peony propped her right cheek with the ring finger of her right hand, and gently raised her left hand and slid it slightly.
Dozens of projections instantly appeared in the empty bridge, and one instruction after another began to be issued to the outside.
The outer perimeter guard fleet opened fire directly.
There was no negotiation, and there was no need for any nonsense. Dozens of thick, high-energy ion beams illuminated this dark space!
Those spires automatically activated thick spirit energy shields, and the ion beams were blocked by the spirit energy.
A large number of starlight appeared outside the fleet, which was the tail flame of missiles, and the warhead of each missile was the latest type of nuclear bomb with a large equivalent.
Today, no one could let Peony save firepower.
After the outer fleet launched a wave of attacks, these missiles still had to 'travel' for a while.
Seventeen spires appeared on our side.
Amina and Nielda Tamon's spires rushed to the front, followed by those Spirit Reclaimers who were still fighting for the Spirit Reclaiming Civilization.
When these seventeen spires appeared, a dozen or so Spirit Reclaimers without spires joined the battlefield.
These were Earth Spirit Reclaimers led by Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo.
They didn't have these spires, whose cost was unknown, and they didn't have a large number of spirit slaves, but they had a combat cluster that was no less than the opponent's.
Look!
Behind these dozen people, each had a 300-meter-class supply ship. The supply ships opened, and three-meter-high mechanical bodies of various colors flew out of them.
These mechanical bodies were either bulky, carrying huge ammunition backpacks;
Or they were agile and focused on flexibility, holding high-temperature plasma magnetic field constrained blades, tens of meters long, in their hands, referred to as—light blades.
This was Wu Man and their spirit servant army!
The Earth Civilization and the remnants of the Spirit Reclaiming Civilization joined forces to meet the enemy!
The two sides began to approach rapidly, and on the left and right wings of the battlefield, two mechanical fleets from the Earth Human Expeditionary Force began to appear one after another!
In the bridge of the hidden command ship, Peony outlined an elegant smile at the corner of her mouth, quietly watching this group of enemy Spirit Reclaimers who should be bait.
The latest novels are available on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
'If the Blade Beasts don't come, what are you going to use to fight a war of attrition with me?'
Peony snorted coldly and began to unlock the self-destruction mode of some mechanical bodies.
Suddenly.
"Dark Sect disciples have appeared," Wang Jixuan's voice rang out in the corner, "Shao Lao said, they are on the right wing, trying to rush over."
"Okay! Commander, don't worry, I guarantee that they won't affect your affairs!"
"Yes," Wang Jixuan said, "It should be okay if there are more casualties among the mechanical bodies, right?"
"No problem."
"That's good," Wang Jixuan responded, "It's best to count their strength. If there are enemies that Shao Lao can't deal with, we will retreat immediately."
"Yes."
Peony instantly sat obediently, waited for two seconds, and after confirming that Wang Jixuan didn't send any more messages, she continued to lean back, tilt her head, prop her fingers, and cross her legs.
The Queen would not fear her master.
This was just a little respect, um, just basic respect.
… …
The battle started instantly.
This group of aggressive Spirit Reclaimers began to retreat backward with one blow. Their purpose should be to tie up the combat power of the Earth Human side.
On the left wing of the battlefield, dozens of black shadows flew forward silently.
In the void, they only needed to use some concealment techniques to perfectly hide themselves.
Among this group, the leaders seemed to be those rogue immortals from different True World branches of the Dark Church, but in reality, it was the man and woman following behind the group.
Both the man and woman had youthful faces.
The man wore silver-white chainmail, carrying a long spear and a longbow on his back, his long hair tied up, looking unrestrained and elegant.
The woman wore a light pink ruqun dress, with a small bell and a black drum orbiting around her.
They concealed their cultivation levels and were now frowning as they looked at the huge lobster's back in front of them.
The two communicated through mental transmission:
'Senior brother, what kind of demon is this?'
'Be careful, I sense a magic power inside that is no weaker than a True Immortal's, but this magic power is very mottled, like it was temporarily infused and pieced together.'
'Is that Wang Zheng really here?'
'The Dao of Heaven will not be wrong... However, when the Dao of Heaven issued the task to us, it marked it in light red, so we must be extremely careful, as this is a task that carries the danger of a fatal disaster.'
'Wang Zheng is just a Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator, even if he has the battle power of a Great Ascension stage cultivator, how can he compare to an ordinary immortal? He himself should not pose too much of a threat; it should be the experts arranged by Tianluo's side by the Dao of Heaven.'
'Yes, that's probably the case. We should still be more careful later and let them make the first move... Among these people, there may not even be a few who can become immortals.'
The two casually formulated a tactic to sell out their teammates.
They were already accustomed to this.
As Dark Church disciples who had struggled step by step from the lower realms to the Immortal Realm, these senior brother and sister were both Dao partners and comrades-in-arms, acknowledging each other's views and clearly knowing that if there was a life-threatening crisis, the other would definitely not care about the other's life or death.
The two of them looked to the battle on the right.
Two local forces had already begun to engage in combat.
Both of them were somewhat surprised.
They had originally looked down on Hei Yao's group of spiritual cultivators, but when these spiritual cultivators drove their spires and led their spirit slaves, their overall combat power was actually not bad.
And on the other side...
They couldn't understand it, but they were deeply shocked.
There were no traces of spiritual energy fighting, but there were light spheres of violent explosions;
There were 'mechanical puppets' with extraordinary mobility that could threaten those spiritual energy users;
And there were huge ships that could shoot high-energy ion beams...
'The development of the power of living beings in this immortal-forbidden land is quite good.'
'Vulnerable, these ships have fatal weaknesses. As long as we rush in, we can kill everyone inside in a moment.'
'It's a pity that Hei Yao's side can't mobilize the so-called Blade Beasts, otherwise we could see these things fighting a great battle with the monster beast hordes.'
The two exchanged words in a fairly relaxed mood.
They looked around.
Soon, the man wearing chainmail raised his eyebrows slightly, and the jade talisman in his hand shook gently.
The leading rogue immortals in front raised their hands at the same time, just like puppets on strings controlled by the man behind.
These dozens of Dark Church disciples stopped at the same time.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?"
"There's danger," the man pointed to his brow.
The woman naturally knew that her senior brother had a keen intuition that ordinary cultivators didn't have, and it was this intuition that had helped them through several life-or-death crises.
However, the void in front was quiet...
The man thought for a while and signaled a rogue immortal to take seven or eight people forward.
The others prepared to respond from behind.
Nine unlucky people slowly moved forward.
The Pillar Blade Beast that Wang Ji Xuan was refining was in front, and the 'light pollution' there could already affect this place.
Suddenly!
A ripple appeared in the calm void, and a wall pieced together from hundreds of stones suddenly appeared, and from within it rushed out... hundreds of missiles!
The missiles' thrusters scattered high-speed matter, and in the airless, microgravity environment, their speed was rapidly increasing, shooting towards the nine people!
The leading rogue cultivator snorted coldly, raised his long sword, and the sword light swayed for dozens of miles, and was still expanding rapidly, sweeping forward violently!
Several fireballs exploded!
Those were the missiles that were hit by the rogue cultivator's sword, but the warheads of these missiles were not detonated.
And more missiles, with ultra-high-speed up and down movements, perfectly avoided the sword light, forming a pocket shape, and surrounded the nine Dark Church disciples from afar.
There was light, blooming.
One light sphere after another connected together, and powerful energy radiated out!
"Resist!"
