Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 2384 The Swan Song of the 3rd Legion

The 13th Legion is considered one of the elite legions with the most frequent changes in commanders. Initially, it was commanded by the previous Supreme Commander, He Cheng. At that time, he was far from being the Supreme Commander. After the death of the first Supreme Commander, he succeeded him after the deaths of several other Supreme Commanders, leading to a change in the commander of the 13th Legion. Now, after several more changes, the current commander of the 13th Legion is Yue Lu, not because he possesses particularly powerful command skills, but because he happens to have one of the few seventh-level cultivation levels, the type that cultivates exceptionally quickly and has a particularly large internal spiritual realm.

Originally, the Thirteenth Legion didn't really need such exceptionally strong individuals as its commanders. However, after the Thirteenth Legion developed the "Absolute Accuracy" effect, its output increased dramatically. The need for experts with vast internal spaces naturally increased. Thus, Yue Lu became the new legion commander.

The communication he had just received wasn't from a comrade, but from the enemy. The enemy had somehow obtained their encrypted communication key, breached network information blockades, and sent intelligence directly to his computer.

According to the source of the signal, the signal for this communication originated from the distant Cuiyun Fireworks ship, which was confronting the Black Prison.

The situation suddenly became confusing. He couldn't help but suspect that this was a trap set by the enemy, an attempt to disrupt their decision-making on the battlefield by interfering with their information. But given the current dire situation on the battlefield, such a low-level provocation seemed unnecessary.

While he hesitated, someone else had already made the decision for him. The person who sent the message didn't wait for him. They simply reminded him not to miss the opportunity.

Shortly after he received the communication, the Emerald Cloud Fireworks Ship, which had just been confronting the Black Prison, suddenly turned its cannons around. The main cannon charged and fired a powerful shot at the Dragon Palace descending from the sky. Not only that, the entire ship accelerated and rammed towards the Dragon Palace. As a warship designed for high-speed travel, its speed and impact force were terrifying.

The disintegration force field activated in front of the warship to protect against meteorite impacts can cause considerable damage to defenses of the same level. This scene is reminiscent of the terrifying spectacle of battleships colliding head-on during naval battles in World War II.

Normally, the two sides wouldn't get this close. The fact that Ryugu was so close, positioned perfectly for an attack, shows that they've never been so wary of their own people.

In an instant, the two Rank 8 Immortal Gu Houses collided violently, and the circular shockwaves that emanated from them swept across the entire battlefield. Many warriors with insufficient cultivation were even knocked to the ground by the impact of the shockwaves, and some were even blown away.

Not only were the East China Sea Allied Forces dumbfounded, but the Icebreaker Alliance was also completely baffled. They couldn't understand why their enemies had suddenly turned on each other.

Only Yue Lu realized something: the one who had just sent him the signal was the Cuiyun Fireworks Ship, and wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
If the goal was simply to deceive him and induce him to make the wrong decision, there would be absolutely no need to launch such a devastating, suicidal attack on one's own people.

"I never thought that the joke I made when I joined the company and became the legion commander would actually come true now."

Yue Lu couldn't help but recall that during his campaign for legion commander, he had mentioned in his speech that his biggest advantage over other competitors was the amount of space he could store inside his body. He said that if absolutely necessary, he could simply throw it out like a meteorite, and that the sheer volume of stored matter inside him could nearly kill someone.

The audience erupted in laughter; no one took it seriously. They were the invincible 13th Legion, the first legion in human history to awaken a deadly war technique, the legion with the highest destructive power. How could they possibly stoop so low as to throw their own legion commander out like a bomb?

But at this moment, a golden opportunity has presented itself. As the saying goes, a great man has things he will do and things he will not do. Time is of the essence, and he cannot afford to hesitate for even a moment.

The 13th Legion is far from fully recovered; it lacks the ability to penetrate his body and launch the planetary-sized celestial body within him with absolute accuracy. The only way to achieve this is to deliver an absolute hit directly to the enemy's face, then detonate its immortal aperture. This would release the Great Harmony Wind simultaneously, also releasing the celestial body within its body—a massive object with a mass exceeding that of the moon. Under the 13th Legion's mass control, this object would be instantly compressed, unable to withstand its immense mass, compressing into a V-shaped neutron star or even a black hole. The immense gravity at its center would be enough to cause fatal damage to the surrounding immortal Gu houses. Combined with the Great Harmony Wind, the effect would be greater than the sum of its parts.

But this also meant that, as the legion commander, he was doomed, and this journey was truly one of no return. Even the warriors of the Mountain and River Republic, who rarely took action and remained hidden in the shadows to rescue and collect the souls of the heroes within the Icebreaker Alliance, could not possibly save his soul under such extreme circumstances.

He was unaware, of course, that if he died an ordinary death, he would most likely have a chance to be resurrected. For him, life was only given to him once. And the hesitation lasted only a few seconds.

"All troops of the 13th Legion, listen to my command! Yes, I will use Absolute Accuracy! Target: Dragon Palace! Prepare to use Mass Control on the celestial body within me. If I am sacrificed, anyone willing to be the next shell will take my place. No cowards will be left in the position of Commander of the 13th Legion!"

On the battlefield, orders from superiors must be obeyed. Even with tears in their eyes and bloodshot, the entire 13th Legion resolutely launched an absolute strike against their supreme commander. First, they pushed him into the immortal aperture of the intermediary, then used the immortal aperture as a springboard to launch him out in an instant. He instantly appeared at the point where the two immortal Gu houses collided.

No one realized the significance of a seventh-rank expert teleporting here; the crushing force of the collision between the two Immortal Gu Houses was enough to grind him to dust. Several eighth-rank experts in the Dragon Palace, though angered by their comrades' sudden defection and attack, still disdained this seventh-rank expert who had intruded into the battlefield. In a battlefield of this level, Yue Lu wasn't even worth mentioning, not even worth their time; the passive defensive weapons equipped by the Dragon Palace alone would easily defeat him.

And indeed, a wisp of mist drifted by, and Yue Lu fell into a deep coma. The Dragon Palace was the epitome of dream-based killing techniques, at least at this stage. Apart from certain experts in the Dream Dao of the Mountain and River Republic who specialized in it, no one surpassed him in their mastery of the Dream Dao. The misty aura released by this Immortal Gu House could almost pull anyone into sleep, making it impossible to wake them in a short time. They would be completely at his mercy.

In his dream, Yue Lu seemed to return to the time when he first joined the army. Back then, he was just a complete recruit, simply trying to earn a living on the grasslands, trying to survive ten years of relentless snowstorms. He had no choice but to huddle together for warmth, following his then-inexperienced commander, building the initial underground shelter from scratch. At that time, he only thought about surviving the winter. He didn't know when his sense of responsibility had become so strong. Perhaps it was the smiling faces of his tribesmen, or the foreseeable bright future, or perhaps it was the prosperous era he had created with his own hands. In his dream, he seemed to relive his entire life, though briefly, it seemed to have few regrets. The only regret was probably not having had time to say a final goodbye to his family on the battlefield.

"Oh no! Stop him! A black hole is forming inside him!"

Suddenly, a strange voice intruded into his dream, pulling him back to reality. No one had paid any attention to this sleeping ant; he could be easily killed or even captured. Only one person was left to examine his dream, to see if it revealed any important information.

And it was during the process of examining the dream that he saw the plan Yue Lu was about to execute. The celestial body had already been subjected to mass manipulation. In addition, since he himself was a member of the 13th Legion, as long as the celestial body was inside him, the mass manipulation effect would always be in effect.

During his slumber, the celestial body within him had already exceeded its critical mass, requiring him to actively compress it. Maintaining its current mass was enough to crush the basic structure of matter. During his slumber, a massive amount of matter had been devoured. His immortal apertures had already become riddled with holes in those few short seconds. At this moment, it was too late to stop him; even he himself could not stop this process.

"Ha! I really have to thank you! I thought I was going to die a painful death, after all, tearing apart one's own immortal apertures with one's own hands is still very painful. I have to thank you for letting me have a good dream."

At this moment, his body was torn to pieces, cracks appearing like the deep starry sky, each crack filled with an ominous aura.

As his last words fell, his immortal aperture shattered, and the gravitational pull was no longer blocked, bursting forth directly. The two immortal Gu houses, which had collided and barely managed to separate slightly, were instantly flattened, bent, and squeezed together, like soda cans being violently squeezed from both sides, compressing towards the central area.

Even more terrifying was what followed. The immortal aperture shattered instantly, failing to take root and form a blessed land. It was torn to pieces by the ravages of the black hole, creating a massive gust of wind that swept across the battlefield. This was a killing move that could only be unleashed by self-destructing one's own immortal aperture, and even then, it was difficult to execute. This was because even a cultivator of the corresponding level, going all out, could hardly destroy their own immortal aperture in an instant. The more damaged the immortal aperture, the weaker the cultivator's strength, and the less destructive power they possessed. This cycle repeated itself, making it impossible to destroy completely without prior planning or even mastering special killing techniques.

The effect of the miniature black hole was clearly more than sufficient. It almost instantly destroyed and tore apart the immortal aperture, allowing the Great Harmony Wind generated during the spacetime fusion process to rage out, which was also the only thing that could escape from the vicinity of the black hole.

What could be worse than getting up close to a black hole? Well, while being pulled in by the black hole, you're also being swept away by a massive vortex of winds spreading outwards in all directions from its center.

At this moment, everyone on the Two Immortals Gu House cursed. Although they had witnessed the 13th Legion's burst of power before, weren't they still in the weakened phase of their burst? How could their ultimate move be even more exaggerated than their previous peak burst?

Fortunately, everyone present was one of the world's strongest individuals. Although the Great Harmony Wind was said to be able to assimilate all things, it was not without limits and was not like the fundamental rules of the universe, which could not be altered. The Immortal Gu House's sturdy structure, combined with the efforts of several eighth-level immortals, barely withstood the first wave of the Great Harmony Wind's baptism and managed to stop its fall into the black hole.

The price was excruciating; most of the Gu worms inside the Immortal Gu Houses were lost, rendering them unable to unleash their full power. They couldn't even be repaired in the short term. The two Immortal Gu Houses were like crumpled pieces of waste paper, intertwined and twisted together, their volume reduced to less than 1/10 of their original size. They had been compressed into a state where each contained the other. If it weren't for their terrifyingly high strength, even their most basic functions would have been rendered useless long ago.

Just as all the experts breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the deadly attack should have ended, the Thirteenth Legion, whose members were all wounded, actually managed to stand up. Under the leadership of the new legion commander, the entire legion shone with a brilliant light of will. The silver light enveloped the legion, directly distorting reality and forcibly granting the warriors the ability to unleash their ultimate move once again.

"The Thirteenth Army Corps has no cowards! All troops, listen to my command, launch an absolute hit against me! Target! That pile of junk in the sky!"

The immortals still trapped in the Immortal Gu House all showed expressions of terror and despair. They couldn't remember the last time they felt so terrified, nor had they ever imagined that a mere junior who had just reached the sixth level could frighten them so much.

But now, as the radiance of his will enveloped him, the celestial body within him had almost completed its transformation. As his figure vanished in an instant, a new black hole erupted once more at the core of the gravitational waves that had not yet dissipated, combining with the gravitational remnants released by the previous black hole. It unleashed a great wind, sweeping away the remaining debris.

"Listen up, everyone! We have six more black holes like this!" The new legion commander once again took over the mission of his predecessor, and was never hesitant to use himself as a cannonball whenever necessary.
