Chapter 994 - 436: [Part 2]

This is currently the most advanced laser weapon on Blue Star!

"Although it can’t compare to the Celestial Punishment Divine Light in terms of maximum output power, it’s more than enough to deal with ordinary flying targets!"

Moreover, Zhou Yanyang along with Guan Ke and two other King Tier mechanicians fired on all fronts!

The four of them had already installed their technological weapons into the Titan Giant Mechanism and launched a specialization for "anti-air" and "single-point" attacks, specifically targeting airborne enemies and advancing experts!

The mechanician profession is naturally suited for large-scale battlefields, and the firepower of one heroic spirit combined with three King Tiers is massive beyond measure. Deafening explosions continuously echo as countless high-energy laser cannons streak across the sky like meteors, burning one Blood Wing Demon after another to fall from the air!

And it doesn’t stop there! Simultaneously, led by ten heroic spirits, over a hundred Awakened above General Tier charged forward head-on!

Chu Xiu merely willed it, and the power of the civilization domain was bestowed upon them. Although he himself did not strike directly, it didn’t mean he was sitting on the sidelines completely. As the Master of Civilization, it’s not difficult for him to freely impart the power of the domain onto others.

Of course, the total power of the civilization domain doesn’t change; what Chu Xiu gives to others, he himself has less.

With such a powerful force bestowed, all attributes of these Awakened are significantly boosted. Aided by laser cannons, they engaged in fierce combat with the Blood Wing Demons. Despite the large numbers of Blood Wing Demons, they were no match at all, with almost zero loss ratio, they harvested the lives of the Blood Wing Demons.

Suddenly, a black dragon roared by, effortlessly spewing pale flames out of its mouth, instantly turning over a dozen Blood Wing Demons to ashes. Chu Xiu looked closely; it was Zhang Qingshan!

After receiving Chu Xiu’s aide in reviving the giant dragon and advancing to Final Flame Dragon Envoy, Zhang Qingshan’s status in the army rose significantly. Thanks to his merits from the Battle of Peng City and support from the military, he managed to advance to King Tier in the past year and has been courageous in battle on the front lines, having trained to Level 6 of King Tier.

The speed of this progress is incredibly fast. Compared to Chu Xiu, anyone would praise him as a genius.

Awakened are such beings; their upgrade speed is astoundingly fast as long as they venture into dangerous places. In contrast, if they, like Ye Junlin’s parents, stayed in Peng City enjoying power and raising children after reaching King Tier, it’s normal to take a few decades to upgrade from Level 1 to Level 7 or 8 of King Tier.

Ninety percent of King Tiers lack the courage to challenge the Heroic Spirit Trial!

With a thought, Chu Xiu quietly empowered his good brother with additional amplification.

After all, this is a rare opportunity to farm monsters! In everyday adventures, where can one find so many monsters?

Zhang Qingshan’s Nether Flame Dragon received the power amplification, let out a mighty roar, and spewed more flames, burning the Blood Wing Demons ahead. The power of Nether Flame seemed to have a strong restraining effect on these life-force-consuming creatures; even the King Tier Blood Wing Demons were no match for Zhang Qingshan in a single move!

After charging back and forth many times, he suddenly flashed with light and leveled up!

Not just him, nearly all soldiers were shouting excitedly, using the most advanced weapons to slaughter the isolated Blood Demon Army, and the four mechanicians were completely thrilled in their killing spree! Zhou Yanyang shouted without any concern for his image, surrounded by countless cannons thundering, and even Guan Ke, typically stoic, showed an expression of excitement!

"The experience and item drop rates provided by this Blood Demon Army are far inferior to normal Abyssal creatures, but the sheer quantity is irresistible..." Chu Xiu was somewhat tempted.

But he didn’t rush to act.

The experience, cause and effect points, and equipment artifacts dropped from killing monsters as Awakened are essentially datafication of Abyssal Power, and this power’s total amount only grows slightly.

To make an appropriate analogy, a Blood Demon is akin to a billionaire like Bill Gates, the Abyssal Power represents his wealth, and the Blood Demon Army he spawned represents his children.

The simple act of having children doesn’t alter the family’s total wealth, which is essentially the total Abyssal Power. Only during these children’s growth might they accumulate some Abyssal Power, depending on whether these children "amount to anything."

If these children don’t amount to anything, much like those Low Tier creatures akin to idle vagabonds, they hardly increase the family’s wealth.

The promising children, the High Tier Blood Demon creatures, are like wage workers who can slightly increase the family’s wealth.

This is why these Blood Demon creatures have much lower drop rates and experience compared to normal Abyssal creatures.

Chu Xiu wasn’t looking to waste effort farming these Low Tier monsters; he’s saving energy to take on the "billionaire" himself!

And the battle process of High Tier creatures was swift; in less than half an hour, this batch of herded Blood Demon creatures was nearly eradicated.

This wave of cornering and exterminating the Blood Demon creatures involved quite a number, amid which angry roars constantly resonated from the distant Blood Demon Army, evidently causing the five Demigod Blood Demons considerable distress from their losses!

Chu Xiu glanced at the ammunition depot; there were still quite a few dirty bombs left, and even tactical nuclear weapons, such large-scale weapons, were arranged...

Though so far, truly High Tier Blood Demon creatures above heroic spirits had yet to make a move, from the present situation, the human side is undoubtedly overwhelmingly favorable, and Blood Demon sea tactics can’t even shake the defense line.

And on Chu Xiu’s side, there’s still the Ghostly Legion, three Demigods, Zhang Family’s Three Array Map and other trump cards untouched...

"Don’t let down your guard." Zhao Jie timely reminded.

"Don’t forget Ashtar’s ultimate goal isn’t to win this war."

Chu Xiu nodded, looked around, and said, "But I can’t see what he’s planning."

Actually, Ashtar’s proposal was unfair from the start because being in the civilization domain, Chu Xiu can retreat calmly within a few seconds, and with his numerous means, killing him within such a short time seems like a fantasy, which is why, knowing fully well Ashtar, a powerful divine envoy must have his schemes, he still accepted this final battle.

Zhao Jie said: "Indeed, conventional methods can’t threaten you. Our analysis of the opponent’s plan should revolve around certain special artifacts."

"Special artifacts?"

"That’s correct, during the Peng City incident, didn’t that Outer Realm Demon rely on forbidden objects to suddenly open a transmission channel and seal off the city with Black Death Prison, catching us off guard?"

Chu Xiu nodded thoughtfully.

He’s no longer completely ignorant about High-dimensional Space now; indeed, using conventional methods, even an Outer Realm Demon couldn’t possibly open such a huge arrival channel, but relying on special forbidden objects achieved this.

"Ashtar, as a divine envoy under the Main God’s throne living for countless years, surely possesses all kinds of special means beyond our imagination. All we can do is be like the Celestial King during Peng City’s incident, watch calmly, and respond appropriately." Zhao Jie said.

"However..." suddenly he changed his tone abruptly: "But the government does have some guesses."

"Brother Zhao, please tell."

"We believe, whatever the opponent’s plan is, it’s unlikely to be a direct frontal assault; otherwise, why bother setting this final battle plan when they could wait for a better opportunity?"

"Are you implying..." Chu Xiu thought of something, "a traitor?"

Zhao Jie nodded, "Just like during Peng City, launching an internal offensive undoubtedly is a better option, for instance, at a critical moment in the battle, suddenly using certain space-disturbing artifacts inside to prevent you from escaping."

"But I have the civilization domain." Chu Xiu said.

"Yet the civilization domain has its vulnerabilities, right?"

Zhao Jie extended a finger: "Firstly, the civilization domain’s alertness to the same race is reduced; if there’s a traitor among the Human Race, even if they conceal their strength and appearance, unless the target is confirmed, just a broad scan won’t enable the civilization domain to detect them."

"Secondly, if they have long since infiltrated your civilization internally, prevailing in its aura, it will also diminish the effect of the civilization domain."

"Lastly, your civilization is still in its embryonic stage; normal Outer Realm Demons are hard to say, but according to our investigation, the King of Bronze certainly has the means to block your investigation."

Zhao Jie’s words made Chu Xiu take a deep breath and re-alert himself.

Though he wasn’t overly flustered, as he already knew these things.

To counter any potential surprise raids, he had already deployed the Ghostly Legion around them, with three Ghost Kings and two strong ghost entities who have achieved the ultimate in martial arts. Under the enhancement of his Nether Chain and Ghostly Legion, they can all reach the strength of a Perfect Demigod.

Five Perfect Demigods; isn’t it possible to hold off for even two or three seconds?
