Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 2376 Extreme Speed

Lan Tian never expected his opponent to have such a move, able to become immune to fatal blows by turning himself into a zombie. Having used his last sword strike, he finally succumbed to weakness. The pressure of bearing the shared power of an entire legion alone was immense, especially since he wasn't part of the 11th Legion. For original members to do this would have placed a significant strain on their bodies. He bore the brunt of the power primarily because of his exceptionally strong foundation, and in certain areas, he was indeed superior to the entire 13th Legion combined. Certain traits were unique to him, given his status as the eldest son and his powerful genetic heritage.

Now weakened from being a vital force, he found it impossible for the various legions to coordinate their forces as easily as before in the ensuing battles.

There is no way there will be another vessel good enough for one person to bear the power of an entire legion; at least until he recovers, there is no one like that.

At this moment, the enemy still has three Rank 8 cultivators and two Rank 8 Immortal Gu Houses left. Even after being weakened, they still possess overwhelming combat power.

Worse still, the Thirteenth Legion had just arrived. Although they managed to kill an eighth-tier enemy with a powerful attack in conjunction with Blue Sky, they were also weakened after forcibly pushing a planet-sized meteorite, turning it into a black hole.

Faced with such immense pressure, they had no choice but to continue fighting despite their injuries. On the battlefield, this meant potentially inflicting heavy casualties, preventing the legion from recovering for a considerable period, or even causing it to be completely dismantled.

It's important to understand that even the current Icebreaker Alliance doesn't know how to train these elite legions. Without the corresponding seeds, it's impossible to train an identical army out of thin air. And some powerful abilities, once lost, can take an unknown amount of time and involve countless coincidences to regain.

Although the Eleventh Legion shared some of its strength and suffered some losses, the fact that most of its combat energy is now provided by the Dao Yuan Reactor means that energy shortages on the battlefield are quite rare. As a result, even with some losses, they still retain the strength to fight.

Unfortunately, their shared war-making abilities are simply too powerful. As a result, their talents have never been able to create a second war-making ability, making them the only elite legion with only one talent.

If they have the chance to develop a second talent and achieve the attribute transformation they need most, then they will probably be qualified to compete for the title of the strongest legion in history.

It's a pity that the attribute conversion talent didn't come to their legion. It's a top-tier talent in itself, and whether one can comprehend it in training and on the battlefield is purely a matter of luck.

One of the current weaknesses of the Eleventh Legion is that the energy lost during resource sharing can be easily replenished through the logistics system. However, other lost attributes are not so easily replenished. For example, things like talents, concepts, and even future possibilities, once depleted, can only be replenished slowly over time. This means that after using a series of overwhelmingly powerful moves, the entire legion will be in a weakened state for a considerable period of time.

That powerful attack, borrowing possibilities from the future, was already the kind that was difficult to recover from later. Once unleashed, it would be extremely difficult to make up for it later. At least in this battle, it's unlikely that we can draw power from the past and future again.

Even so, the Eleventh Legion was still very strong. The moment they recovered, they led all the soldiers of the legion to transform into rainbows, like 2 immortals, and launched a fierce attack on Xiao Li, who had just recovered from his zombie form.

Although he escaped by turning into a zombie, he is now the weakest one present. Zombies are inherently weaker than ordinary immortals, not to mention he is injured.

The entire power of the Eleventh Legion is concentrated on one person, which could roughly elevate him to the peak of the seventh rank. To fight an eighth rank opponent in a one-on-one duel would require some extraordinary killing moves, such as the one Lan Tian used before—borrowing power from the past or future, a heaven-defying killing move that directly alters cause and effect. While they can't use that move now, they've instead unleashed their most proficient combat style.

2 people is simply too many. Even if they are highly skilled at seamlessly switching their power among themselves, only channeling it into themselves when needed to achieve a dragon-like existence, if all their power is concentrated in one person, the time allotted to each individual is far too short. It's insufficient to cope with the ever-changing battlefield.

Therefore, at this moment, each of them maintained their strength at the level of an ordinary sixth-rank expert. The overall cultivation level of the eleventh legion had already reached the fourth and fifth ranks. On average, they had reached the peak of the fourth rank, or even higher.

The reason they were able to catch up with the Yeti Legion in average cultivation level was mainly due to their incredibly powerful sharing ability, which even allowed them to share talents. This meant that if they encountered a bottleneck in cultivation, they could borrow the strength of their comrades to break through, essentially using their talents and aptitudes. After the breakthrough was complete, they could return the talents and aptitudes. This resulted in an extremely fast daily cultivation speed. As a result, their overall average cultivation level had surpassed the peak of the fourth rank in a short period of time.

With this foundation, the legion can maintain hundreds of people at the sixth rank strength at the same time. These hundreds of sixth rank strengths are constantly switched between the 2 warriors. When needed, the sixth rank combat power is loaded onto them, and when not needed, they disappear without a trace, as if they do not exist.

In actual combat, the effect is that the enemy is as if they are facing 2 sixth-level experts at the same time. This is their strongest form, which they are most proficient in. Although the total number of sixth-level immortal Gu on all of them is not as much as that on a single seventh-level expert, the power of each of their killing moves is not weak when they borrow from each other.

Just as Xiao Li, who had barely recovered, was about to unleash his full power, he was besieged by such a fierce offensive. Although most of the attacks were not fatal to him, he couldn't withstand the constant control skills these people were casting on him. Unable to exert his strength, he was being kicked around in the air like a ball, and was actually being suppressed head-on by the Eleventh Legion.

They are probably one of the few legions capable of suppressing an eighth-level expert head-on with the strength of a single legion. It won't be so easy for the other legions.

The Seventh Legion's speed is hardly a weapon on the front lines. It's barely effective against sixth-tier immortals, but beyond that, speed alone offers little advantage. Conventional weapons struggle to penetrate their defenses, and even when the enemy adopts a passive defensive stance, the Seventh Legion's relatively weak attack power is negligible. They're relegated to being firefighters, rescuing stragglers and minimizing losses. Some legions even joked that the Seventh Legion might awaken a third healing talent if they continue fighting like this. Meanwhile, the Snowman Legion and the Burning Legion are fighting with all their might against Wu Yong, but they are still being suppressed. The Jade Purity Dripping Wind Bamboo House, though damaged several times, remains largely intact. With the addition of a top-tier eighth-level expert, their combat power was simply too outrageous. Even with the attribute swapping ability's infinite uses, combined with the Snowman Legion's powerful output, they were completely overwhelmed. To make matters worse, Wu Yong had actually handed over control of the Immortal Gu House to his junior, Wu Meng, whose strength and killing moves were even greater. This freed him up to face the enemy head-on.

To make matters worse, the Emerald Cloud Fireworks Ship continued to use long-range attacks to harass the enemy. Although it was nominally harassment, its power was no less than that of any immortal's attack.

If Black Prison hadn't taken the initiative and slowly shifted its position from the center of the battlefield, using its attacks to restrain the Emerald Cloud Fireworks Ship, the battle line in this area would likely have collapsed.

Even so, Wu Yong, unrestrained, was a huge threat. The 12 regular legions around him unleashed all their negative attribute war moves on him, but they could only barely suppress his strength. After the 13th Legion unleashed its ultimate move, it was weakened and could only struggle to hold on against an enemy of this level.

While absolute accuracy is undeniably powerful, and they possess a vast stockpile of high-powered weapons, these weapons of mass destruction are similar to those available to the Seventh Legion. They might be somewhat effective against seventh-rank and below powerhouses, but against eighth-rank individuals, their passively activated defensive attacks are often impenetrable to these weapons. If it weren't for layers of weakening effects, severely disrupting the opponent and even causing them to fail twice in a row to suffer backlash, the isolated 13th Legion would have already suffered heavy losses, perhaps even been wiped out.

The Seventh Legion devoted most of its energy to saving lives, repeatedly flying low and high-speed over the 13th Legion, using its super speed to transfer them and avoid one deadly attack after another.

The other legions weren't unwilling to provide support, but they couldn't withdraw any more forces from the main battlefield. Withdrawing more forces would weaken the defensive line, meaning more powerful enemies would slip through, increasing the pressure on the defensive line. If they were to provide support, the entire front could collapse.

No matter how strong the Eleventh Legion was, after suppressing an eighth-level expert, it was difficult for them to provide much support. After failing to unleash his killing move twice, Wu Yong finally managed to release the killing move he wanted to use, and what he was going to use was undoubtedly the Great Harmony Wind!

All the legions are now tied down, making it the perfect time for a large-scale clearing operation. While our own troops are indeed within his attack range, aside from the unfortunate Xiao Li, we have the upper hand on the other battlefields and can retreat at any time. On the contrary, the enemy's legions are much larger, making retreat more difficult. If not managed properly, the retreat rhythm will collapse. Nan Yi is moving at high speed, and once Da Tong Feng is unleashed, it will inevitably inflict heavy casualties on the enemy.

Without the constraints imposed by those regular legions at the grassroots level, his strength will be fully unleashed. At that point, the 13th Legion will no longer be able to hold out. Once the balance of power is broken, one side will gradually and completely tilt in his favor. At that point, the outcome will no longer be in doubt.

The release of Datong Wind was unstoppable. Even though the 13th Legion dropped two super bombs in succession, both exploding at point-blank range with absolute accuracy, Wu Yong still managed to absorb the damage and unleash Datong Wind. An invisible barrier then spread out in all directions. No attack could penetrate this barrier. Anyone who got close was instantly disintegrated. The battlefield was like flies startled by firecrackers; all anyone could do was scatter and flee, moving away from the center of the explosion.

It would be impossible for a conventional legion to evacuate before the storm reaches their location, relying solely on powered armor and conventional flight devices.

The only possibility for them to survive is that the Seventh Legion is fast enough to fly over them quickly enough and use directional teleportation devices to bring them into their vehicles to evacuate with them.

However, the total number of regular legions was close to 200,000, while the Seventh Legion at full strength was less than 20,000. They also had to take care of the battlefield within a radius of 100 miles and the other main force's elite legions, which made them, who were originally proud of their speed, finally feel their own slowness.

The legion's warriors desperately accelerated, but even with their best efforts, they could only watch as their comrades were swallowed up by the wind wall, their entire bodies vanishing into nothingness.

"Faster! Faster!" This was the cry of every soldier in the legion. Even just 0.01 seconds faster might save them from watching their comrades, with whom they had shared life and death, being swallowed up by the strong winds.

However, their own capabilities were already at their limits. Even if they further increased their time flow to the limit of their existing abilities, squeezing the performance of their equipment to the extreme and making their shuttle-like fighter jets operate under overload, they still wouldn't be able to save everyone in time.

They couldn't remember the last time they had maintained their maximum speed for such a long period of time; in fact, there had been very few times in previous battles that had forced them to reach their maximum speed.

The battlefield is the best place to hone a soldier. Imagine a soldier of the Seventh Legion, gritting his teeth, knowing he's not fast enough, yet still charging towards the wind wall. Trying to save his comrades, only to be completely swallowed by the wind wall, the entire legion's will is finally ignited in a shared moment.

Although no one knew what had happened, after that instant, the speed of the Seventh Legion, which had already reached its limit, inexplicably began to gradually increase. Even though more warriors were swallowed up by the wind wall while trying to break through their limits to save their comrades, the legion's overall average speed steadily increased, gradually reaching a terrifying level that even an Eighth-Rank Immortal could not keep up with.
