Chapter 790: Chapter 96: Improved Flying Ship, Nascent Soul Level Combat Power!

Outside the East City Gate, the vast army of cultivators from Tianhan City was already on high alert,

forming formations of five thousand men each, totaling one hundred thousand cultivators.

They wore various types of spirit armor, wielding long halberds, exuding an aura of majesty.

These cultivators, after long periods of training, moved in unison as if they were one.

These individuals were the cultivators Zhou Xun planned to use to operate the war flying ships, with half prepared for the actual expedition and the other half as reserves.

Of course, besides these cultivators operating the flying ships, there were also five hundred thousand ordinary battling cultivators,

just like the great battle with the Celestial Feather Sect back then, forming small squads of several dozen, led by Foundation Establishment Cultivators, to join forces against the enemy.

However, today was for testing the war flying ships, so not all of them were brought along.

The one leading this flying ship army was Wang Erniu.

Previously during the battles between the Human Race and the Demon Race in the South Sea Cultivation Realm, Wang Erniu had personally led a flying ship and thus was extremely familiar.

It was just a pity that the Eastern Wilderness did not have Tier Four flying ships before, only being able to conduct simple simulations without real trials,

but today was a good chance to test their effectiveness.

At this moment, these cultivators were eager to board the war flying ships to engage in a real drill.

Relying on the war flying ships, they hoped to unleash abilities comparable to a True Monarch Nascent Soul!

In no time, the war flying ship landed steadily on the open ground outside the East City Gate,

at that moment, Wang Erniu flew up from the army below,

"Brother!"

"It really is a Tier Four flying ship!" Wang Erniu exclaimed in amazement, looking at this gigantic flying ship,

"I never thought, Brother, you actually refined it!"

Counting this, it was indeed the first war flying ship in their Eastern Wilderness!

"How is it?" Zhou Xun asked with a smile,

"Roughly speaking, it’s not worse than those from the Central Continent!" Wang Erniu thought for a moment and replied.

While speaking, a figure flew out from the city, landing beside the crowd — it was True Monarch Tianci, having rushed over after hearing the news.

"I was startled seeing that giant ship in the air earlier, and then figured it might be that the flying ship was completed,"

True Monarch Tianci laughed, appearing extremely pleased, then began inspecting the flying ship,

caressing the patterns on the deck and feeling the flow of spiritual power within,

"Not bad, from the exterior, it must be a Tier Four war flying ship indeed, my virtuous brother, you are truly impressive!"

"You flatter me, Daoist Brother, whether it’s successful depends on the others now!" Zhou Xun pointed at the grand army below,

and then ascended to the bow of the ship, looking at the cultivator army ahead, he said:

"This ship before you is our Eastern Wilderness’s first Tier Four war flying ship,"

"Gentlemen, you have been assembled here today to engage in the practical operation of the war flying ship."

"You will board the flying ship to conduct defense and attack drills; my Tier Four Spirit Turtle will engage you in battle to test the flying ship’s capabilities!"

The cultivators, upon hearing this, displayed expressions of excitement. The saying goes, "train a soldier for a thousand days to use them for one," and they had trained arduously for so long just for today!

Immediately, Zhou Xun turned his gaze to Master Yuyuan,

"Daoist Yuyuan, this first battle will be yours to lead!"

Unfortunately, the leader piloting the flying ship had to be a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator; otherwise, it would be impossible to command such a large army and harness the true combat power of the flying ship!

As the first ally of Tianhan City, Master Yuyuan, a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator, was Zhou Xun’s most trusted,

making him naturally in charge of this first flying ship.

"Thank you, True Monarch, for your trust!"

Master Yuyuan, his eyes full of excitement, was the first to board the flying ship, followed by his five thousand strong army of cultivators.

Wang Erniu simultaneously served as an advisor, staying by Master Yuyuan’s side.

Zhou Xun then took out a bag of spirit stones and tossed it to Master Yuyuan,

"Here are two million spirit stones, enough to activate it!"

"Yes!"

Master Yuyuan bowed and replied, then proceeded to the cabin and placed the spirit stones,

with his command, all cultivators moved to their respective positions, awaiting orders.

At the same time, the Spirit Turtle Red Noon behind Zhou Xun also ascended to the skies.

With a flash of red light,

a colossal red spirit turtle over six hundred feet in size appeared in the air!

"Let’s begin!" Zhou Xun said calmly,

Upon hearing this, Master Yuyuan promptly ordered the start, and all the cultivators sprung into action.

In almost an instant, the defense array on the flying ship activated swiftly, enveloping it in a green light shield.

"Red Noon, attack!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, he opened his mouth, releasing seventy-two thunder seeds that shrouded the space of tens of thousands of feet,

ready to strike,

prepared to act as soon as there were signs the flying ship couldn’t withstand the attack.

The Spirit Turtle Red Noon obeyed, opening its mouth,

emitting an intense red beam like a raging fiery dragon, directly blasting toward the war flying ship.

The red beam, infused with powerful fire attribute energy, distorted the air it passed through as if scorched.

The cultivators on the flying ship, sensing this overwhelming force, couldn’t help but turn pale.

It seemed as if the entire sky was pressing down, causing many to tremble uncontrollably, almost falling into a stupor.

"Is this the might of a Tier Four Demon Emperor? Can we... can we really withstand it?"

Master Yuyuan’s complexion changed dramatically as well,

this being his first time facing a Nascent Soul Level attack, it was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Seeing this, Wang Erniu shook his head, then shouted loudly:

"Defend!"

Clearing away the haze from everyone’s hearts like a sharp sword piercing through.
