National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 882 Battle Situation
After the beam of order pierced through the eleventh-tier Blade God, its momentum waned, but it still evaporated hundreds of alien soldiers in its path.

That dazzling beam of light, like the sharpest spear of civilization, instantly pierced through the clamor and despair of the battlefield.

A brief moment of dead silence.

Both the frenzied attacking alien races and the desperately defending forces were stunned by this sudden and earth-shattering blow.

An eleventh-order mythical being... has fallen?

To be instantly killed by a mythical immortal ship?

This defies common sense and subverts our understanding!

Even though the Firefly Warship has always been known for its individual combat power, at the Mythical level, the difference between the major ranks is astonishing.

But before I could think about it further...

"Roar!!"

The remaining three eleventh-tier mythical beings were the first to react, unleashing roars of shock and fury. Spacetime was violently distorted by their rage, especially the shadow aggregate, whose invisible mental storm swept out like a tsunami, causing the light screen of the Great Wall of Civilization to flicker violently once again. Countless low-ranking Firefly Captains had distorted expressions, as the sharp pain transmitted from their mental level was unbearable for them.

But the morale of the defending troops had been ignited to the point of boiling!

"kill!!"

Li Qing was the first to roar in the fleet channel, his bloodshot eyes bursting with wild joy and an even more intense fighting spirit.

"For the sake of our people!!"

"For civilization!!"

The entire Imperial City defense line erupted with the fiercest counterattack firepower since the start of the war.

The warships' main guns relentlessly fired, disregarding the risk of overload; the fixed dark energy turrets on the city walls roared deafeningly; and countless individual mechs and mechanical fortresses unleashed their fury as they manipulated their weapons.

The full-force attack of the [Xuanhuang Chiyu] was like a torch lit in the endless darkness, illuminating the hope in the hearts of all the captains defending the Imperial City.

Inside the bridge of the Shenxia Jiuli, Jiang Yuan's expression was slightly solemn. His mind raced as he constantly adjusted the various components loaded on the ship, trying his best to reduce the various alarms that kept coming in due to the impact of the Chaos Giant Elephant. At the same time, his eyes flashed with sharp light.

"Ji Heng, well done!"

While praising him, he quickly changed the subject.

"Wilson, Azure Dragon, don't let your guard down! Continue to go all out and create an opportunity for the next attack!"

Without needing to say more, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly.

The Chaos Colossus abandoned its struggle with the [Shenxia Jiuli], and its destructive cannon suddenly turned around, sending a thick torrent of chaotic energy straight at the [Xuanhuang Chiyu], which had just finished firing and seemed to be in a state of stagnation.

It clearly understood that it absolutely could not allow this warship to launch such a terrifying attack a second time!

"Your opponent is me!"

The Celestial Qin Dynasty's Starry Azure Dragon let out an even louder roar. With the support of the Chaos Origin of the Human Emperor City, its massive dragon body suddenly coiled around the Chaos Giant Elephant, actually locking its arm tightly with its body.

The Star Dragon Flame scorched the pitch-black armor with a terrifying hissing sound. Large pieces of the dragon scales shattered and fell off under the erosion of the chaotic energy, but it showed no sign of loosening its grip.

The thirty-six-winged holy angel incarnation spread its enormous wings of light, and endless holy light transformed into layers of barriers, blocking the [Xuanhuang Chiyu] in front of it. At the same time, holy hymns resounded, and holy shocks rained down on the head of the chaotic giant elephant, interfering with its lock-on.

boom!
The chaotic energy torrent finally erupted, but it was deflected by the desperate interference of the Azure Dragon and the Holy Angel, grazing past the hull of the [Xuanhuang Chiyu] and obliterating a distant alien army formation in the void behind it.

The escaping energy impact still caused the [Xuanhuang Chiyu] to shake violently, and the surface of the ship flashed rapidly with light, clearly indicating that it was under tremendous load.

Meanwhile, the mental shrieks of the shadow aggregate transformed into countless invisible spikes, crossing the battlefield and piercing straight at the [Xuanhuang Chiyu], attempting to dismantle this deadly threat from within.

Jiang Yuan snorted coldly, and the epic scroll of civilization on the hull of the [Shenxia Jiuli] ship lit up again. A majestic and profound imperial aura of humanity spread out, like a pillar in the middle of the stream, forcefully neutralizing most of the all-pervasive mental attack.

"Ji Heng, how much longer!" Jiang Yuan's voice came through the encrypted channel, filled with urgency.

Inside the bridge of the Xuanhuang Chiyu, Ji Heng's brows were furrowed, and her expression was particularly heavy.

That attack just now was the strongest attack from [Order of Light]. According to its cooldown calculation, it is 5 times the number of invited warships, in years.

In other words, after this attack, [Sympathy] will need a cooldown period of up to 50,000 years.

Even though the Xuanhuang Chiyu ship is equipped with general-purpose cooling reduction components, and because of prior planning, there is more than one, even with the assistance of two high-level cooling reduction components, the [Light of Order] still needs nearly three thousand years to be usable again.

Thus, with the batch of Time Crystals he had prepared, he could only use them three more times in a short period of time.

Time Source Crystals, a strategic resource, are already rare. Not long ago, a considerable number were traded away in exchange for the [Primordial Limitless Pill], resulting in limited stock remaining.

Although it would allow [Light of Order] to be used three more times in a short period of time, Ji Heng was not optimistic.

The reason is simple: the reason I was able to kill the God of Blades in one hit was because I caught him off guard. Now that the three eleventh-tier mythical beings outside the city are on guard, it won't be so easy to hit them again.

He would be satisfied with just one hit out of three chances, let alone two or three.

Suppressing her thoughts, Ji Heng quickly took out three kilograms of [Time Source Crystal] and put it into the [Light of Order] component, then replied:
"It has cooled down and is now recharging. However, the batch of Time Crystals I have on hand is only enough for [Light of Order] to be used three more times!"

Upon hearing Ji Heng's explanation, Jiang Yuan's expression also darkened. However, given the urgency of the situation, she couldn't afford to think too much about it.

"All troops, listen to my command! At all costs, defend the chaotic energy shield above the city. We must not allow the three eleventh-tier mythical beings to tear apart the city's shield!"

Jiang Yuan's command resounded throughout the entire Imperial City's local communication channel.

At this moment, a large number of mid-to-high-level Firepower warships turned their targets towards the skies above the city.

Outside the city, the five-race allied legion also went into a frenzy. The other two eleventh-tier mythical beings (Shadow Aggregate and Evil Phantom) launched a fierce attack regardless of their own consumption, and countless alien warriors charged toward the shield of the Human Emperor City as if committing suicide.

Even if they have to pile up corpses, they will try their best to weaken the energy intensity of the Human Emperor City's shield.

In comparison, the defenders of the city walls were even more formidable; the death of the eleventh-tier Blade God had greatly boosted their morale.

On the western wall of the Emperor's City, Li Qing's [Blazing Dragon] led the remaining warships of the Dragon Flame Fleet, holding the foremost position and forming an ironclad defensive line.

The secondary gun array was completely overloaded, and the energy shield flickered, yet it still did not retreat an inch.

"For Lao Zhang! For our fallen brothers! For civilization! Dragon Flame Fleet, fight to the death!!"

Li Qing's roar echoed through the fleet channel, filled with determination. One warship after another exploded and sank in the fierce fighting, like tragic fireworks in the night sky. But new warships immediately filled the void.

The brutality of the war instantly escalated to a new level.

Every second felt incredibly long.

Boom boom boom!
Amidst the chaotic sounds of cannon fire, bloodlust, and alien roars, a blinding white light once again condensed at the bow of the [Xuanhuang Chiyu] ship.

This change seems to have become the turning point in the entire chaotic battlefield.

Above the city, not only did the two eleventh-tier mythical beings, who were struggling to tear apart the city's shield while entangled with the Starry Sky Dragon and the Thirty-Six-Winged Holy Angel, show unusual expressions, but even the Chaos Giant Elephant, which was locked in a stalemate with the [Divine Summer Nine Li], was startled.

The three eleventh-tier mythical beings' gazes swept across the hull of the [Xuanhuang Chiyu] ship, clearly indicating that the [Xuanhuang Chiyu] ship, which had already completed the recharging of [Light of Order], posed a great threat to them.

It's not surprising, really. A weapon capable of instantly killing an eleventh-tier mythical being is right in front of you, and it can unleash a second, more powerful attack at any time. It's hard for anyone to accept that.

Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng naturally noticed this as well. The two quickly reached a consensus, and the [Light of Order], which had already completed its energy accumulation, was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, it disappeared into the depths of the void above the Human Emperor City along with the [Xuanhuang Chiyu].

By appearing and disappearing unpredictably, they truly brought the concept of deterrence to its extreme.

"Damn it, Colossus, Throat Annihilator, this won't do, let's retreat!"

Outside the city, the eleventh-tier mythical being, Evil Eyes, spoke hoarsely. The elusive [Xuanhuang Chiyu] hovered nearby, making them hesitant to go all out. Continuing to drag things out would hardly yield any real results, so it was better to retreat first and wait for a second attack after regrouping.

Evil Eye's suggestion echoed across the chaotic battlefield and quickly received responses from two other eleventh-tier mythical alien races.

The deadly threat of the [Xuanhuang Chiyu], hidden in the void and poised to strike, was like a poisonous thorn, deeply embedded in the hearts of the three eleventh-tier mythical beings, making them feel uneasy and causing their attacks to become involuntarily restrained.

The Chaos Giant let out a deep, unwilling roar. Although it could not hide the savagery in its heart, it knew that a direct attack was now futile.

The next time that human warship, capable of slaying gods, flashes its white light, its target will likely be any one of them.

The invisible body of the shadow aggregate "Annihilation Throat" fluctuated violently, emitting even colder and more gloomy mental ripples. It did not make a sound, but its tacit consent was already evident.

"withdraw!"

With a sharp shriek, the Fel Phantom Eyes unleashed a burst of green flames leaping from its fingertips, transforming into a sky full of fiery infernos that temporarily repelled the holy light barrier surrounding it. Its figure blurred first, preparing to merge into the void.

The Chaos Colossus abruptly shook off the remnants of the Starry Sky Azure Dragon's entanglement. Its massive body began to rotate backward, shattering space with each step, preparing to forcefully crash into the depths of chaos.

The spiritual entity of Yanhou retreated into the rear ranks like the receding tide.

As soon as they moved, the entire massive alien coalition seemed to receive a command, and the frenzied offensive wave paused for a moment, then began to turn, receding like a blood-red tide.

"Want to leave?!"

Jiang Yuan's icy voice echoed across the battlefield through the [Shenxia Jiuli], carrying an undeniable killing intent.

"Azure Dragon, entangle the Chaos Giant! Wilson, lock onto the Evil Eye! Ji Heng, fire freely, target—Annihilation Throat!"

How could we miss the opportunity to kick a man when he's down? Especially since the other side is seriously injured and their morale is already low!

"hold head high!"

Although the Celestial Qin Starry Sky Azure Dragon's body was damaged, the fighting spirit in its eyes burned to the extreme.

It suddenly opened its mouth, and what it spewed out was no longer the world-destroying dragon flame, but countless chains of light flashing with immortal Qin runes. These chains of light seemed to have a life of their own, and instantly wrapped around the most seriously injured hind legs and body of the chaotic giant elephant, tightening them wildly. As the runes flashed, they continuously eroded the giant elephant's chaotic power. Although they could not completely imprison it, they greatly slowed down its retreat.

"Holy Light - Ring of Imprisonment!"

The thirty-six-winged holy angel spread its wings in fury, and countless golden rings of holy light appeared out of thin air, layer upon layer enveloping the ferocious phantom that was trying to escape.

Evil Eye's body erupted with evil flames, melting a large number of halos, but new halos kept coming in, constantly reinforcing and solidifying the space around him, making it impossible for him to escape smoothly.

Just as the spirit entity of the Throat-Slaying Demon was about to completely retreat into the depths of the alien army's formation—

In the void, the [Xuanhuang Chiyu] appeared silently like a ghost, and the chilling white light of order at the bow of the ship erupted again without any warning!

This time, the white light's target was the invisible and intangible shadow aggregate that exuded immense mental pollution—Annihilation Throat!
Annihilation Throat emitted an extremely sharp mental shriek, and countless twisted shadow tentacles danced wildly, setting up layer upon layer of mental barriers in front of it, attempting to distort and deflect this deadly attack.

At the same time, its immense spiritual power frantically pulled at the surrounding Dominator-level alien warriors, hurling them like shields towards the path of the incoming white light.

However, the power of the Light of Order, after being enhanced by thousands of ships and numerous other characteristics, has long surpassed conventional limits.

It represents the absolute purifying power of civilized order, and has a natural restraint on evil gods like Yanhou, which are purely formed from negative spirit!
laugh--!
Where the white light passed, the alien races that had been pulled over instantly vaporized, not even having time to scream, as their layers of mental barriers melted away rapidly like snow under the sun.

The massive shadowy body of the Throat was completely pierced by the light of order!
Countless painful, insane, and desperate fragments of the spirit erupted from its struck core, like a tsunami sweeping across the spiritual realm.

Its invisible body twisted and swelled violently, clearly in extreme pain.

Unfortunately, the eleventh-tier mythical being, which was well-prepared, was not so easily killed. A faint seven-colored light emerged from beneath the shadowy body of Annihilation Throat, and before the beam of order arrived, a layer of rule-protecting barrier condensed around it.

boom!
The pure light of order collided violently with the seven-colored barrier of rules, and a terrifying explosion ripped apart in the distant sky. Although the seven-colored barrier of rules was eventually destroyed, the beam of order had already lost most of its power, leaving only a wound on Annihilation Throat that was not fatal.

……

Several days later, cheers erupted in the Human Emperor City. The alien army had completely withdrawn, and they had won the defensive battle.

Compared to the Human Emperor City, hundreds of light-years away lies the encampment of the Five Races Allied Legion, which had recently withdrawn.

The three who returned first—Evil Eye, Annihilation Throat, and Giant Elephant—gathered here, their eyes filled with suppressed rage, and their savage aura emanating uncontrollably from their bodies.

After a long silence, Yanhou spoke first:
"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, the [Human Emperor City] is indeed far more difficult to conquer than we imagined. I'm afraid we alone will find it hard to take it down..."

"Yanhou, just say what you mean, don't beat around the bush."

The chaotic giant elephant on the left roared.

“Another legion of my race is less than a million light-years away. If you agree, I can summon them to join us.”

"Join more legions? I don't object to that, but we can't just target your Shadow Clan. We must also unite with several other alien legions!"

Although Yanhou was not entirely willing to do so, it couldn't object because the giant elephant and Xiemou insisted.

"Then it's settled. Let that [Human Emperor City] stay a little longer. Once the new allied legion is reorganized, I will surely reduce that civilization of the Flame to ashes!"
