Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1262 Bombarding the Shura Field

As the [Singularity] was grasped in the palm of the second swordsman, the entire mechanical realm was like a giant clock whose central processing unit had been forcibly removed. The gears were still turning due to inertia, and the teeth were still meshing with each other, but all the scheduling commands began to jump around erratically.

The Leo clock tower has stopped working, the Demon Tomb War system has collapsed, and the Normanus factory's production line has also ceased production.

Inside Blackrock Fortress, Xia Xiu ordered ground troops to begin taking over the Mechanical Realm.

Taking advantage of the window of opportunity presented by the capture of the [Singularity], the Heavenly Kingdom's ground forces directly stormed into the core of the Mechanical Realm.

The war data compilers of the Knights of Saint Isodo took over the broken command chain of the Demon Tomb, while the Knights of Saint Mardin opened the [Curtain of Mercy] on the core gear, stabilizing the gear continent that was about to fall out of control.

The Courtyard Legion then landed.

One after another, courtyard flags were planted on the inlaid continent of the Mechanical Realm.

In the void of the giant gear, the cold white order runes that originally belonged to the Mechanical Realm gradually faded, and the platinum Heavenly Kingdom genealogy network began to flow along the plane's main axis.

When the second swordsman returned, he was still holding that cold white core in his hand.

Do you want this?

Xia Xiu glanced at it and laughed:

"Let's keep it for now and study it after the war. Maybe it can be used to build another fourth-generation Titan."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the progress of Eden's overwriting.

[Mechanical Dimension Core Takeover Progress: 72%]

[The genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven is being written in progress—]

[Courtyard Territory Determination Generation -]

The Mechanical Realm has been incorporated into the outer plane jurisdiction of the Mortal Court.

By this time, the battle for the Mechanical Realm was essentially over.

It was so fast that many of the pantheon fleets that were rushing to provide support fell silent.

Those pantheon fleets had already been drawn from the vicinity of the Golden Tree to support the Mechanical Realm, but before they even arrived at the battlefield, they received a series of bad news: the [Singularity] had been captured, the Leo Clock Tower had stopped working, and the Mechanical Realm's main axis had been wiped out by Heaven.

They could certainly continue charging in.

and then?
In the presence of Blackrock Fortress, the Second Swordholder, the Fourth Swordholder, the five Knights Orders, the Inquisition Fleet, and the fourteen Court Legions, deliver a few stirring and sacred declarations.

That's practically suicide!
Unfortunately, while the gods are arrogant, they are not so arrogant as to collectively deliver food to your door.

Therefore, the divine fleets wisely stopped outside the mechanical realm.

They did not break into the mechanical realm, nor did they make harsh statements to Heaven across the dimensional boundary; even their symbolic condemnations were written with considerable restraint.

They choose to set up camp nearby.

The next outer plane blocking the way for the Heavenly Kingdom fleet is—the Shura Field of Hell Battlefield.

It was a war plane that was forever filled with the sounds of war drums, the clash of iron, and the clashing of swords.

Four enormous iron geometric blocks float in the void, some as small as islands, others as large as continents. They move, collide, and split along ancient tracks, and continue to bear witness to the wars of countless legions amidst the sounds of their collisions.

The first layer, the "Battle Plains," is the first to enter the observation range of Heaven.

The black iron cube moved slowly in the void, and the River Styx surged out from some deep pits, meandered across the surface of the cube, and then burrowed into another deep pit.

Iron fortresses, military camps, siege factories, and post-war ruins are scattered across the land. The Goblin Kingdom of Clang, the Orcs of Nissek, the Hextor Kingdom of Calamity, and countless temporary fortifications built by pantheon legions are like rusty scars plastered on the iron ground.

The divine fleet was stationed there.

They set the first layer of the Shura Field as the new line of defense.

The Chaotic Plains are the most suitable place in all the heavens and myriad realms to gather troops. Here, even those who die can be pulled back to the front lines. Even the Nine Hells and other war god kingdoms have portals and supply lines here.

Now, the gods have temporarily swallowed their defeat in the Mechanical Realm, allowing the fleet to dock at the Asura Field and the Ark of the Divine Kingdom to hover above the black iron cube.

They were prepared to hold off the next attack from the Kingdom of Heaven here.

Inside the Blackrock Fortress, Eden unfolded the four-layered structure of the Shura Field before Xia Xiu.

[Next target: The Shura Field of Hell Battlefield—]

[The enemy's pantheon fleet has established a defensive line on the first level of the chaotic plains—]

[Judgment: The enemy is attempting to exploit the perpetual nature of the Shura Field war to slow down the Heavenly Kingdom's advance.]

Xia Xiu looked at the black iron cube floating in the void and gently tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingertip.

The next moment, his great spirituality rushed into the battlefield without any concealment.

That platinum-gold spiritual energy was like a longsword extending from Blackrock Fortress, piercing directly into the dimensional boundary of the Hell Battlefield. It swept over the black iron blocks above the first layer of the chaotic battlefield, crushed the deep pits emerging from the River Styx, the steel fortresses, the legion camps, the border walls of the goblin and orc divine kingdoms, and also swept over the divine fleets that were hurriedly taking their positions.

This is equivalent to knocking on the door in front of all the gods.

And they knocked very hard.

Thump thump thump thump—! ! ! !

Such a blatant provocation immediately caused an uproar within the chaotic scene.

The black iron cube trembled, and one after another, the portals suspended in the void lit up. War drums sounded simultaneously from different divine kingdoms, and the immense power of the divine systems gathered above the chaotic plain, like a dark cloud composed of military banners, blades, divine laws, and the war souls of the supplicants.

This dark cloud pressed directly down on Xia Xiu's great spirituality.

The black iron blocks on the chaotic plains trembled simultaneously, and the military flags, fortresses, the River Styx, and the teleportation gates all lit up with divine anchor points in that instant.

Xia Xiu’s consciousness pressed down and quickly detected several of the most obvious divine qualities.

Deep within the thunderclouds, Duke Thunder was the first to respond, unleashing purple and white lightning along the dimensional boundary, attempting to drive Xia Xiu's great spirituality out of the chaotic plains.

In the Earth Spirit Realm [Kingdom of Resounding Power], Magrubite and several goblins formed an iron wall with the divine power of the gods' legion.

On the other side, in the orcish realm of [Nishek], the crimson divine light of the one-eyed orc god G'Ush shone, and Bagtrau, Ilneval, and Rushik hidden underground responded in kind.

Within the [Land of Calamity], the divine power of Hextor, the six-armed tyrannical god, was like six tightly clenched arrows, piercing directly at Xia Xiu's spirituality.

Further away, the kingdoms of Anastasia, the goddess of deception and tyranny, also lit up.

In the second layer of the wrecked labyrinth, the auras of the grey dwarf chief god Radug and the psychic goddess Deep-Dura emerged from the depths of the war ruins.

In the fourth layer of ice, Vijes's [Gloomy City] cast a pale divine light, and the aura of death and magic passed through the storm of black ice shattering blades, as cold as a knife cutting along bone.

The gods of the Shura Field pressed down with all their might, trying to push Xia Xiu's great spirituality out of the plane.

Xia Xiu sat on the psychic throne, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Duke of Thunder, Magrubite, Gwush, Hextor, Annat, Radug, Deep Dura, Vijes..."

"It's quite lively."

Through the first spiritual exchange, Xia Xiu roughly understood why the divine alliance fleet chose to block Heaven here.

The battlefield itself is a natural war fortress.

The first layer is densely packed with iron blocks, with steel fortresses and the Styx supply line interspersed. The divine fleet can hover the Divine Kingdom Ark above the blocks and, relying on the dimensional characteristic of [returning to the front line after death], repeatedly wear down the Heavenly Kingdom landing forces.

The second level is the [Debris Maze], which is filled with the wreckage of giant ships and petrified ruins.

The third layer, the [Gray Stone Layer], is a natural zone for disrupting fleet formations. Gray polyhedra roll continuously in the void; the pantheon only needs to occupy several stable anchor points in advance to turn them into mobile minefields, forcing the Blackrock Fortress and the Courtyard Fleet to slow down significantly.

The fourth layer, the [Ice Shard Dark Layer], is a place where black ice fragments flow at high speeds through the darkness, forming a natural blade array. Ordinary ships that venture in will be instantly reduced to scrap metal. Vijes's [Gloomy City] guards the boundary of the black ice. She wields the power of death and magic and possesses a terrifying arcane art that can summon small [ethereal tides].

In short, this is the perfect place for a messy war.

The Divine Alliance seems to be similar to a certain nation on Terra, both of them only get stronger when they are fighting a bad war.

Xia Xiu looked at the dimensional projection that Eden had prepared, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest of the throne.

"They've thought of everything quite thoroughly."

The pantheon fleet clearly understood that a head-on collision would be unlikely to stop Blackrock Fortress and the two swordsmen, so they planned to use the terrain advantage of the Shura Field to slow down the advance of the Heavenly Kingdom forces, buying time for the Golden Tree to complete its coronation and the unification of the pantheon.

Only when a supreme deity is born will all the heavens and myriad realms have a chance to turn the tide.

Xia Xiu and the second swordsman exchanged a glance at each other.

Both sides understood the situation.

Xia Xiu raised his hand and pulled out the etheric route map of all the heavens and myriad worlds. The originally dense route was now extinguished in large swathes.

Now, only the last main channel leading to the high-level anchor point where the [Golden Tree] is located remains, barely maintaining a minimum level of stability.

Eden quickly provided the test report.

[Multiple small and medium-sized planes have been detected as having been actively sacrificed.]

【Etheric disorder cycle formation——】

[The flank passage cannot accommodate Blackrock Fortress-class units!]

[Currently available stable main shipping lanes: one.]

"The pantheons of all the heavens and myriad realms are ruthless enough."

Xia Xiu looked at the vanished shipping lanes, his tone tinged with coldness.

"They directly destroyed most of the small and medium-sized planes and disrupted the surrounding etheric flow, so now all the possible detour routes have become dead ends."

"We want to break through to the Golden Tree from the flank; the fleet will be dragged into the dimensional wreckage by the turbulence."

The second sword-wielder, Qasim Muhammad, looked at the still-lit main channel and said calmly:
"They left this road intact because it can't be blown up; otherwise, they would have definitely blown up the waterway."

Xia Xiu nodded.

"Correct."

"Further ahead are the anchor points of the divine kingdoms of the major pantheons. If they blow up this last main channel, it will be equivalent to severing their own divine kingdoms and the Golden Tree together."

Kasim glanced at the location of the Shura Field.

"It will probably take another standard Terra week for that thing to take shape. Right now, all we can do is chisel our way along this path."

Xia Xiu smiled.

"Then I'll say hello to them first."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to connect to the Blackrock Fortress main control system.

Deep within Blackrock Fortress, the cannon muzzle of [Witch's Eye] slowly opened once more.

This celestial fortress had just shattered the mechanical realm and withstood the counterattack of the gear cannon, yet its main cannon system remained stable.

According to Eden's calculations, the [Witch's Eye] can currently fire several shots with 10% to 25% power output.

In addition, Xia Xiu also has two [Glass Cannons] in his possession, as well as partial access to the Heavenly Armory granted by 0-01 and 0-03.

However, I'll keep the [Glass Cannon]; it's a gift I prepared for the [Golden Tree].

The Shura Field, as a frontline defense, is not worth him playing his real trump card.

"Witch's Eye, 25% power".

Xia Xiu leaned against the psychic throne, his golden pupils reflecting the first layer of the chaotic battlefield plain.

[Main gun charging.]

[Power limit: 25%]

[Target locked: Outer perimeter defense line of the chaotic plains.]

[WARNING: This bombardment will cause the partial collapse of the first layer of the Shura Field's block track!!!]

……

……

On the outer perimeter of Blackrock Fortress, the main cannons glowed in concentric rings.

The distant battlefield immediately reacted, and the gods clearly sensed the main cannon locking on.

The Thunder Duke's storm cloud began to move towards the outermost ring of the first layer, Hextor's six-arrow holy symbol lit up with a blood-red light, and Vijes's pale divinity cast a chill from the dark layer of the fourth ice shard...

Although their attack successfully destroyed the first two layers of the Void Shield, they continued to advance, attempting to penetrate all the Void Shields and destroy Blackrock Fortress.

Unfortunately, these attacks were still somewhat insufficient against the massive celestial fortress, and the main cannon had already locked on.

[Coordinates stable]

The outer defense line of the Shura Field has been locked.

[Witch's Eye Charge Progress: 41%...56%...64%...]

[Witch's Eye fully charged!]

boom--!
The main cannon of Blackrock Fortress opened again, its beams traversing the Ether Channel and directly blasting towards the first level of the Asura Field.

The black iron blocks on the outer edge of the chaotic plain were the first to be hit.

That block originally supported three steel fortresses and a tributary of the Styx River. With the main cannon fire of the celestial fortress, the center of this iron continent was pierced by black and gold cannon light.

boom--!!!
The second iron block was grazed by the cannon fire, and the entire continent was torn into three pieces along the impact cracks left by the old battlefield.

The war drums had just sounded from the orc fortress above when it slid into the void along with half of the cone-shaped mountain range.

A divine fleet was stationed behind the block, originally intending to use the iron block to shield the main cannon of Blackrock Fortress. However, it was directly thrown into the aftershocks of the cannon fire by the fractured continent, and the three Templar ships were instantly turned into golden fireballs.

The third iron block was the unluckiest.

It wasn't hit head-on, but it was struck by the first two shattered pieces of debris, causing its trajectory to shift instantly. The entire block, along with dozens of military camps and a forest of steel, crashed sideways into the nearby Divine Ark.

The barrier on the Ark of Gods lit up, only to be crushed by the edge of the iron continent, which stretched for hundreds of kilometers, in the next instant. The divine messengers, supplicants, and priests on the deck were all thrown into the air by the impact wave and then swallowed up by the black and gold aftershocks.

On the chaotic plains, the outer defensive line that was originally intended to hold back the Kingdom of Heaven was torn open with a huge gap. The black iron cube debris flew in all directions like a meteor shower, smashing military flags, fortresses and teleportation portals along the way.

Blackrock Fortress did not stop.

The bombardment had just ended when the outer propulsion arrays of the ship's hull lit up simultaneously, and the massive celestial fortress pressed forward along the gap blasted open by the [Witch's Eye].

Xia Xiu's order followed immediately.

"The entire army advances."
