Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1492 Counterattack (Part 1)

Seeing that everyone was willing to follow his arrangements, Liu Changxu solemnly revealed his plan:
"In order to drive the Zerg out of Taibai Star as soon as possible, I plan to personally lead the army to launch a proactive attack and use guerrilla tactics to eliminate Zerg settlements in human territories one by one."

Upon hearing this, Jin Haonan and Su Yuxue were immediately thrilled. They had longed to return to their homeland, but their abilities were limited, making it impossible. Now, the only one capable of doing so, the Supreme Being, had finally made this decision, and they were naturally more than willing. They immediately stood up to volunteer for the battle, their voices filled with urgency.

Liu Changxu raised his hand to signal the two to calm down, and seeing that his wife and children had no objections, he began to discuss the specific plans with everyone:
How to divide forces to contain the enemy, how to scout the location of the insect hive, how to coordinate a surprise attack... Inside the council hall, everyone expressed their opinions, and the originally tense atmosphere was gradually replaced by high morale.

Once all the details were finalized, the final decision came down to who would stay behind on Golden Ring Island.

Liu Changxu pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone, before finally speaking:

"Yuyao, Xuege, Yuwei, the three of you will stay behind this time! Your mission is the most difficult this time, so please be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Yuyao and the other two, though unwilling, understood the importance of staying behind and immediately nodded in agreement.

Liu Changxu looked at them and then gave them further instructions:
"Golden Ring Island is the last stronghold of our human race. We must be cautious. If it is attacked by the Zerg, send a message to me immediately and I will return to its aid as soon as possible."

Immediately after the meeting, a tense but orderly preparation for war swept across Golden Ring Island. In the weapon-refining workshop, the clanging and hammering of forging continued day and night as magical treasures were rushed to completion.

On the training ground, the cultivators formed neat battle formations and repeatedly practiced their combined attack techniques, with sword energy and spiritual light intertwining.

……

Everyone is contributing their efforts to counterattack the mainland and reclaim their homeland.

Those cultivators who had fled from the mainland to Golden Ring Island were especially excited when they learned that the Supreme One would personally lead a large army to counterattack their homeland, and they all volunteered to join the army.

Some of them had lost family members to the insect swarm, and some had their sects destroyed by the insectoids. Now, upon hearing that they were to return to the mainland, their eyes burned with the flames of revenge, and long queues quickly formed in front of the registration area.

On the seventh day of the eighth month in the year 2230 of the Great Han Dynasty, just as dawn was breaking, on a vast bluestone square on Golden Ring Island, an army of thirty million humans stood in formation, ready to go. Their armor gleamed coldly in the morning light, and their banners fluttered in the wind, with the words "Human Race" standing out prominently on them.

Liu Changxu, clad in golden Ruyi armor, stood at the bow of the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, his gaze sweeping over the orderly military formation below, and proclaimed in a loud voice:

"Today, I will lead you to exterminate the insect race and reclaim the homeland of humanity. Follow me on this expedition!"

"Marching to war! Marching to war!"

The shouts of thirty million people resounded through the sky, transforming into a boundless fighting spirit.

With Liu Changxu's command, the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship slowly rose from the ground. Its massive hull, like a floating mountain, broke through the morning mist, revealing the intricate runes engraved on it. A hum resounded from the bottom of the ship, and a thick yellow light curtain descended, flowing across the plaza like water. The figures of the thirty million human army instantly faded, and in the blink of an eye, they were all absorbed into the ship's internal space.

Immediately afterwards, the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship's spiritual light surged, its bow piercing through the clouds and transforming into a dazzling stream of light that pierced the heavens and earth, hurtling towards the mainland with the force of thunder. In just a few breaths, the stream of light shrank to a single point and completely disappeared into the horizon.

A grand battle to reclaim lost territory and drive out the Zerg has begun.

One month later, one morning, the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship silently appeared in an unfamiliar airspace. Its hull disappeared into the clouds, with only its sharp bow visible, locking onto the target below.

Below lay a vast mountain range stretching for billions of miles. This land, once lush with forests and home to birds and beasts, was now completely overrun by a beetle-like insect race. These beetles were jet black, their carapaces gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen. They densely covered the mountains and valleys, even obscuring the sky with the shadows of their flapping wings. The entire mountain range seemed to have transformed into a giant, writhing insect nest, exuding a nauseating stench.

Liu Changxu stood on the bow deck of the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, his eyes gleaming with seven-colored light, easily piercing through the thick clouds and taking in the entire view of the insect hive spanning billions of miles.

His gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:
"Yin'er, you stay in the ship and coordinate. Once the Zerg are routed, immediately release the main force to wipe out the remaining enemies. Senior Brother Jin, Senior Sister Su, Fu Hai, follow me into battle!"

"I'll obey!"

The crowd responded in unison, their voices echoing across the deck, their fighting spirit palpable.

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Changxu's mind stirred, and his figure flashed out of the ship like a streak of light.

With a slight tremor of his arms, thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords burst forth, their shadows weaving into a net; the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd followed closely behind, its silver light flashing like lightning; the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda hung above his head, its golden light descending to protect his entire body… In an instant, several innate spiritual treasures appeared, their divine light soaring into the sky, dyeing half the sky dazzlingly brilliant.

The moment the Crimson Lotus Annihilation Seal appeared, it suddenly expanded, transforming in an instant into a colossal golden seal that blotted out the sky. The runes engraved on the seal shone brightly, carrying the power to shatter heaven and earth. Like a falling sun, it carried the karmic fire of the Crimson Lotus that could burn everything, and crashed down toward the core of the insect hive.

"Boom——"

Before the giant seal even landed, its power already caused the insect swarm below to become restless. Countless beetles frantically flapped their wings and fled, but were firmly locked in place by that invisible pressure.

The next moment, the giant seal crashed into the core of the insect hive. Golden light and karmic fire erupted instantly, sweeping out like a tsunami. Swarms of beetles turned to ashes in the divine light, and the dust they stirred up rose into the sky, obscuring the entire sky.

Before the smoke and dust had cleared, a piercing insect chirp suddenly came from above the insect nest, and five enormous figures burst out of the air.

There were five beetles with bodies as large as mountains. Their shells were black and hard, gleaming with a cold metallic luster. The pressure emanating from their bodies had reached the ninth level. One of them had a sharp horn on its forehead, and its aura was even more powerful, reaching the middle grade of the ninth level. It was obviously the leader of this insect nest.

"Just in time."

Liu Changxu's eyes sharpened, and he made arrangements in the blink of an eye.

The thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords instantly split into five groups, forming five Crimson Lotus Sword Formations, which, carrying scorching Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, shot towards the five ninth-tier beetle kings.

The Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd transformed into a giant silver halberd, aiming directly at the mid-grade ninth-rank beetle. The halberd tip carried a sharpness that could tear through the void, specifically targeting the weak points where its carapace was joined.

The Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron hovered in mid-air, spewing forth Great Sun True Fire from its mouth like a waterfall, scorching the beetles' bodies and gradually turning their hard shells black.

The Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror and the Ruyi Miehun Lamp responded to each other, and with a flash of silver light, they fixed the ninth-grade mid-level beetle in the void. The Miehun Divine Light followed closely behind, piercing straight into its soul.

The Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda floated above Liu Changxu's head, with a golden light curtain hanging down to protect his safety.

In an instant, the magical treasures attacked simultaneously, and the divine light and insect shadows collided fiercely in the void, unleashing a deafening roar.
