National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 881 A Blow with All Its Might

[Human Emperor City - West City Wall - 76th Battle Line]

The shockwaves seemed to come endlessly, penetrating the thick composite armor and striking the very marrow of Li Qing, the commander of the "Dragon Flame Fleet" and an eighth-tier starship captain.

His flagship, the Blazing Dragon, a veteran starship that had reached the eighth tier for tens of thousands of years, was now like a small boat tossed about in a storm.

Inside the bridge, the piercing alarms, the hum of energy overload, and the groans of the structure under pressure mingled together, almost tearing one's eardrums apart.

"The third and fourth auxiliary gun arrays on the port side are overloaded! They are currently buffering!"

"Energy shield value loss exceeds 70%, please repair as soon as possible!"

"More than 30% of the warships of the 3rd Detachment on the right side of the defense zone have sunk. Please dispatch reinforcements immediately!"

The prompts from the tactical commander and the ship's AI kept coming in. The commander's voice was filled with undisguised fatigue and hoarseness. Each report meant the loss of another part of the combat force. Li Qing stared intently at the hellish scene outside the panoramic porthole, his fists clenched until they turned white.

Outside the window, the original color of the chaotic void was no longer visible; instead, an endless, roaring tide of blood-red warriors from other races had taken its place.

They crashed into the thick, star-like light curtain of the Great Wall of Civilization, each impact causing the light curtain to ripple violently, creating countless waves.

Outside the light barrier, energy beams, biological acid, corrosive spores, and solid bone spears... all sorts of deadly attacks poured down on the light barrier like a torrential rain, exploding into clusters of destructive halos.

Even with the double-layered seven-colored rule protective light curtain and the multiple reinforcements of the Human Emperor City's city shield, cracks of varying sizes would still appear from time to time, causing unacceptable battle damage to the Dragon Flame Fleet members who were frantically firing inside the shield.

boom!
The main cannon at the front of the [Blazing Dragon] roared once more, and a thick beam of crimson particles instantly vaporized dozens of seventh-tier alien races in the fan-shaped area in front of it.

But the next second, the gap was immediately filled by more monsters, and the secondary gun arrays fired incessantly, forming a dense fire net in an attempt to stop any alien soldiers that tried to get close to the light barrier.

However, the power of secondary guns is ultimately limited, and even if their numbers are astonishing, they are unlikely to cause the same large-scale destruction as multiple main guns in a short period of time.

Not only the [Blazing Dragon], but the entire 76th battlefront, the entire western wall of the Human Emperor City, was filled with countless Fire-type warships of all ranks forming a steel jungle, with all the cannons spewing out tongues of fire.

The continuous bursts of fire illuminated the solemn and resolute faces of the captains, their images flickering in and out. Each salvo required a considerable amount of time to recover, and each attack could provoke an even fiercer counterattack from the enemy.

"Commander! Riftbeast swarm at three o'clock! They're trying to concentrate their energy to corrode the shield!"

In the fleet's group chat, a hurried report from the vice commander suddenly broke out.

Li Qing turned his head sharply and saw a small group of "Void Rift Beasts" that looked like floating jellyfish and whose bodies were flashing with unstable energy arcs. Their tentacles were linked together and condensed into a dark purple energy ball that exuded an ominous aura, with their target pointing directly at a node of the outermost civilization Great Wall's protective light curtain.

The light curtain in that area had begun to change color slightly, and the energy readings were fluctuating rapidly.

"All available firepower, fire in a barrage! We can't let them take shape!" Li Qing roared, and the three main cannons of the [Blazing Dragon], which had just cooled down, were instantly activated, and soon three beams of destruction roared out.

Other warships in the vicinity responded immediately, and countless beams of light and shells, like sharks smelling blood, rushed towards that area.

Rumble, rumble!

The dense explosions engulfed the group of Rift Beasts.

However, before the flames from the explosion had even dissipated, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from within—it was a projection clone of a relatively small but extremely fast tenth-tier mythical creature, the "Mythical Void Armored Beast"!

It clearly took advantage of the moment when the Rift Beasts attacked, seizing the opportunity during a lull in their firepower.

Its claws gleamed with a ghostly light that seemed to tear through space as it viciously clawed at the light curtain node that had just been subjected to a concentrated attack and was not yet fully stable.

"Oh no!" Li Qing's heart sank.

If the node is hit by this attack containing mythical power, the light barrier is likely to be torn open.

At this critical moment, a hoarse but resolute voice came through the public channel:
"Everyone, pay attention! Cover me!"

Suddenly, a Starship, whose armor was already badly damaged and located on the flank of the formation—the flagship of the Dragon Flame Fleet's vice commander, the Sky-Pacifying Ship—overloaded its engines, unleashing its last bit of thrust, and recklessly rammed into the projection of the Shadow Beast.

"Old Zhang!!"

Li Qing's eyes were bloodshot. He was very familiar with this deputy. Although the deputy was only temporarily sent by the command headquarters to join the fleet and was not a member of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, they had developed a deep friendship over the years.

no respond.

There was only one deafening explosion!

The [Chang Kong Ding Ding], along with the high-explosive ammunition it carried, transformed into an extremely dazzling yet cruel flower of death. The massive shockwave not only completely annihilated the mythical projection but also cleared out a large number of severely damaged alien soldiers in the surrounding area.

The price was that the [Chang Kong Ding Ding] sank completely, and even the Star River Captain named Lao Zhang lost his soul to the starry sea.

A brief silence enveloped the Dragon Flame Fleet's communication channels, leaving only heavy breathing and the echoes of explosions. Grief was instantly swallowed up by even greater rage.

"For Lao Zhang! For civilization! Kill!"

Li Qing's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was like that of a wounded beast. The [Blazing Dragon] seemed to sense its master's anger, and all its weapon systems fired wildly again at an efficiency exceeding its design limits.

Such sacrifices were happening every minute and every second on the western wall of the Human Emperor City and along the entire defensive line of the Human Emperor City.

The wreckage of the warships piled up like tombstones beneath the city walls, only to be blown away by new explosions.

Countless captains exhausted their spirits and lives to maintain the formation of their fleets and maximize the role of their flagships.

Everyone knew they had nowhere to retreat. Once the Human Emperor City fell, the next to suffer disaster would be the Ancestral Domain of Fire, their homeland.

Looking out, the entire Imperial City was completely engulfed in the flames of war and chaos. This magnificent city, standing atop the Chaotic Divine Continent, was now enduring the most brutal test since its birth.

Billions of beams of energy intertwined, collided, and exploded in the void, forming an absolute forbidden zone for life. The once dazzling light curtain of the Great Wall of Civilization now flickered, like a candle in the wind.

More than twenty tenth-order mythical behemoths, each the size of a mountain, relentlessly bombarded the light barrier with their claws, ramming attacks, and breaths imbued with the power of rules, like tireless battering rams. Each attack caused large areas of the light barrier to dent violently, with cracks spreading like a spider web, only to be painstakingly repaired with the next energy replenishment.

Beneath the light screen, hundreds of millions of fire-breathing warships formed a dense network of firepower, and the artillery fire never ceased for a moment.

The salvo from the main guns was like a reversed galaxy, while the roar of the secondary guns wove a melody of death. Countless alien soldiers were vaporized and torn apart during the charge, and their remains and shattered energy formed a ring of death that encircled the city outside the light curtain.

But the number of enemies seemed endless, and the army formation, condensed with blood-red aura, was like a boiling sea of ​​blood, crashing against the star barrier wave after wave.

The energy reserves of the Human Emperor City are decreasing at an alarming rate. The source power that maintains the light barrier and the node warships are collapsing in batches due to overload, and are being quickly replaced by logistics personnel.

The war of attrition has reached a fever pitch, with massive amounts of resources and countless lives being consumed every second.

The heaviest, most suffocating pressure on the hearts of all the defenders came from the four towering figures above the distant army formation.

The mere presence of these four eleventh-tier mythical beings distorted the surrounding spacetime with their natural aura, causing the operation of the rules to become sluggish.

They haven't even made a real move yet, but they are already a Damocles' sword hanging over the entire civilization.

When the first Great Wall of Civilization's rule-based light curtain was torn open by the spiritual shriek of the shadow aggregate, leaving a huge, difficult-to-heal gap, the apocalypse seemed to arrive prematurely.

The destructive cannons on the arms of the Chaos Colossus had already condensed terrifying energy enough to dim a small star field; the green flames leaping from the fingertips of the Fel Phantom locked onto a key energy control center inside the city wall; and the blurry shadow transformed into an almost imperceptible line of death, piercing straight into the breach.

"Do it!"

At the same time, Jiang Yuan's voice resounded across the battlefield through the [Shenxia Jiuli], carrying an undeniable determination.

This immortal ship, carrying the glorious and profound myths of a bygone civilization, suddenly burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, its hull displaying countless epic scenes of our ancestors' arduous pioneering and exploration of the cosmos.

It smashed through the aftershocks of the mental shock, its massive hull like a moving mountain, directly blocking the destructive muzzle of the eleventh-tier Chaos Giant Elephant.

【The Emperor's Astounding Book】·The Great Realm of the Martial Arts Dynasty!
【Haotian Annihilation God-Slaying Cannon】·Haotian Strike!

The moment the Martial Dynasty's boundary of rules opened, the Immortal God-Slaying Cannon of the [Divine Summer Nine Li]—a pillar of light embodying the beliefs and power of the entire human civilization—roared out, colliding fiercely with the chaotic energy torrent that distorted the void and annihilated the rules unleashed by the Chaos Giant Elephant.

boom! ! ! ! ! ! !
An indescribable explosion was born between the two, shattering space like glass and revealing the chaotic void beneath. An energy storm swept in all directions, instantly wiping out most of the existence within a radius of thousands of light-years.

The Shenxia Jiuli ship trembled violently, and the illusory image of civilization on its surface blurred, clearly indicating that it was under tremendous pressure.

same moment.

"Holy Light Divine Power - Judgment of the Angel of Light!"

Wilson Aclemon’s voice rang out through the thirty-six-winged holy angel incarnation, solemn and dignified.

Endless holy light burst forth from the Holy Angel's body, transforming into a phantom of a angel of light wielding a golden holy spear. The next second, the golden holy spear was hurled out, heading straight for the blurry, infiltrating figure.

The Flowing Shadow crashed into the rule barrier of the Martial Dynasty Great Realm, revealing a momentary stagnation—it was a bizarre humanoid figure that seemed to be composed of countless blades.

The illusory image of the Martial Dynasty Saints collided and neutralized with its power of ethereal blades, emitting an extremely piercing shriek.

With a whoosh, the golden holy spear shot forth, its speed astonishing due to the full force of the holy angel's attack.

The golden spear struck the blade-wielding figure precisely, causing it to let out a painful scream.

"hold head high!!"

"Azure Dragon Annihilation Dragon Flame!"

The mythical Starry Sky Azure Dragon of the Immortal Qin Dynasty let out a deafening roar. Its massive body coiled upwards, its mouth opened, and it spewed out world-destroying flames that carried the phantoms of stars. These stars, trailing brilliant tail flames, bombarded the side of the Chaotic Giant Elephant like a meteor shower, attempting to interfere with its attack and relieve the pressure on the [Divine Summer Nine Li Ship].

The impact of the starfire caused the Chaos Giant to pause slightly, but its jet-black armor was harder than anyone could imagine. The slight ripples caused the giant cannon on its back to pause slightly.

Just then, Jiang Yuan's roar came through the magnetic wave communication group chat.

"Ji Heng, now is the time."

Upon hearing the sound, the [Xuanhuang Chiyu], which had been preparing for a long time, suddenly soared into the sky, and a blinding white light burst forth from the bow of the warship.

【The Light of Order】· "The Light of Order"!
This unique, seven-colored naval cannon, temporarily borrowed from the Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon, unleashed its most powerful attack at this moment.

Effect: For every 10000000 Psionic Points consumed, one Star Destroyer or higher-level Fireship can be invited to construct a Hall of Order. For each Star Destroyer successfully invited, the power of the Light of Order increases by 1%; for each Starship invited, the power increases by 3%; and for each Hyperdimensional Mothership, the power increases by 5%. A maximum of 10000 Fireships can be invited to construct a Hall of Order. Currently, the power of the Light of Order increases by 12580% (out of 10000 invited).
With a damage multiplier of 125.8, and considering that the Light of Order on this [Xuanhuang Chiyu] has been temporarily upgraded to level 120, one can imagine just how terrifying the damage of this attack is.

That's not all. Before that, Song Chi's clone of the Tianxu Cangqiong warship, which remained in the Human Emperor City, had already activated the "Civilization·Judgment" characteristic of the [Light of Judgment].

The target of the trial is set as the Blade Clan, a race of blade-like figures. This results in another 14.23% damage bonus. While this may seem negligible compared to the previous 12580%, the key point is that this is the ultimate characteristic of the strategic component [Light of Judgment]. Its priority is extremely high, and this 14.23% is a further addition on top of the power of [Light of Order].

That's a 14.23% bonus to 125.8 times the damage, so the increase is obviously quite considerable.

In addition, there is the 1000% one-time critical hit damage bonus granted by a five-colored damage amplification component on the [Xuanhuang Chiyu], as well as the amplification of the Flame of Fortune left over from the previous successful one-time promotion. This attack can be described as the strongest single-target attack in the history of all Flame of the Flame Civilization warships.

Swish!
The dazzling beam of light shot straight through, and with the added damage from these layers, its power had already reached a terrifying level. Even though the target was an eleventh-tier Blade God, the result remained unchanged.

The beam of light pierced through, and the Blade God Core within the eleventh-tier Blade God shattered instantly. As expected, this eleventh-tier mythical being was killed in a single blow.
