Chapter 1590: Xuan Light Cannon

Qinglong and Zhuque erupted with their supernatural powers, barely managing to fend off that bizarre sensation of erosion attacking their bodies.

The Silver Armor let out a soft, surprised sound, seemingly somewhat taken aback by the strength of the two before him.

However, it was only slightly so.

He raised his right hand, and a mass of blood gradually coalesced into shape in his palm, then suddenly burst forth into dozens of blood arrows, streaking across the sky in an instant and shooting straight toward the two!

The blood arrows were so fast that the pair had almost no time to react.

Qinglong did not hesitate for even a moment. He shielded Zhuque with his enormous body while activating the power of the Weak Water Glazed Dragon God!

The space around his body twisted with a slippery, warped distortion, designed to send any attack aimed at him sliding off his surface.

But this time, his formidable ability failed to achieve the desired effect. The sharp, powerful blood arrows tore straight through his massive frame, carving over a dozen gaping wounds into his body!

In an instant, the colossal form of the Weak Water Glazed Dragon God was riddled with crimson blood arrows stuck all over it!

"ROAR!!"

Qinglong let out a pained, anguished howl. He could feel the blood throughout his entire body being rapidly drained away.

Since advancing to the Epsilon-class rank, this was the first time he had suffered such terrifying damage.

"Qinglong!"

Zhuque shouted frantically, then quickly activated her own ability. Billowing waves of azure-blue flames spread out from her body, instantly engulfing Qinglong entirely as she tried to dissolve those crimson blood arrows!

But this sensation was akin to trying to melt the eternal, ancient ice of the Arctic with the flame of a single candle. The results were far from effective.

Qinglong was also straining with all his might to resist. He abruptly erupted with golden supernatural power, forcefully expelling every single blood arrow from his body!

"Stop struggling! Your strength is far too weak!"

The Silver Armor spoke in a voice colder than ice.

From beginning to end, he had only been addressing Qinglong. As for Zhuque, he simply ignored her outright.

Transcendents below the Epsilon-class were not even qualified to be acknowledged in his eyes.

A human eye might be able to see an ant, but who could possibly observe a bacterium?

How could Qinglong possibly be willing to be taken away without a fight?

His colossal body reared up high, a blazing radiance surging up from his abdomen, then traveling up his long, slender neck before finally transforming into an incredibly dazzling beam of golden light that erupted from his mouth, instantly enveloping the space before him!

A thick cannon blast of supernatural power pierced through everything in its path, completely engulfing the Silver Armor's body!

The immense energy illuminated the night sky of East Sea City.

But after the light faded, what they saw before them was a sphere completely condensed from blood.

Thick, smooth, and round like a gigantic crimson gem, it had suffered not the slightest damage from Qinglong's strike.

The blood gem slowly opened an opening, transforming into a hemispherical throne that lifted the Silver Armor up.

He stared at Qinglong.

"My patience has its limits. This game should end now."

At this moment, despair flooded the hearts of Qinglong and Zhuque. They finally realized just how enormous the gap in strength was between them and the enemy before them!

Just then, Zhuque threw her head back and roared to the heavens: "Xuanwu!!"

Outside East Sea City, in the nearshore waters, the sea surged with rolling waves as the entire ocean surface rose nearly a hundred meters, as if at any moment it could come crashing down and swallow the whole of East Sea City!

Within those terrifying, dark waves, Xuanwu's colossal body floated like a primordial beast from ancient times.

His eyes were locked onto the Silver Armor in the city who was confronting Qinglong and Zhuque, and then he slowly opened his gigantic maw!

"Charge complete!"

"Xuan Light Cannon, FIRE!"

From his impossibly enormous mouth, a pitch-black beam of light shot forth in an instant, like a sword piercing heaven and earth, arriving behind the Silver Armor in the blink of an eye!

The Silver Armor turned around. Facing this clearly far more powerful force, he slowly raised one arm to block.

A river of blood transformed into a massive semicircular shield, standing in front of him.

"BOOM!!!"

The Xuan Light Cannon collided with the blood shield, producing a thunderous, earth-shattering roar!

The Silver Armor's expression remained perfectly calm at that moment.

But in the very next instant, a flicker of change finally appeared on his face.

Because a crack had actually appeared in his blood shield!

"CRACK!"

The blood shield suddenly shattered. The Xuan Light Cannon slammed directly into the Silver Armor's body, completely engulfing his entire form!

A black sun, centered on the Silver Armor, erupted and surged in the heart of East Sea City!

Qinglong had already retreated to a safe distance with Zhuque. This black sun swallowed the earth for over a dozen kilometers in every direction, obliterating everything in its path.

Qinglong and Zhuque's hearts were filled with grief, because this attack had unavoidably killed a massive number of East Sea City residents.

But at this moment, they had no better choice. If they did not defeat the invading enemy as quickly as possible, then even more people throughout East Sea City would surely die.

Or worse, they would be completely annihilated by the powerful, mysterious civilization of the Mist Valley!

Everyone understood just how brutal this battle was.

The enemy was not human, so they would show no mercy to ordinary people. Even if they killed everyone, there would not be a shred of guilt in their hearts.

This was a war between races, and such wars had always been a matter of kill or be killed.

Qinglong, Xuanwu, and Zhuque all fixed their attention on the massive crater.

That strike just now was Xuanwu's ultimate, power-condensed killing blow. If it failed to have any effect on the Silver Armor, then the consequences would be extremely troublesome.

After a long moment, the residual shockwaves of the explosion dissipated, revealing a huge hemispherical crater in the ground.

The Silver Armor's figure finally appeared. He slowly rose into the air, his silver armor showing some deformation, and his overall appearance looking somewhat disheveled.

Although the Xuan Light Cannon had not killed him, the strike had clearly done its work after all!

The Silver Armor turned his gaze toward the ocean outside East Sea City, toward Xuanwu bobbing in the surging tides. A hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

Even with full confidence in his own strength, a grown man could still run the risk of being injured when facing a child wielding a sharp blade.

What he didn't understand was that the sea monster he had sensed before should not have been capable of hurting him.

"Is it some kind of special weapon?"

He muttered to himself.

Zhuque saw the Silver Armor's condition. Though he had been affected somewhat, his movements were still unimpeded.

She gritted her teeth and called out to Xuanwu: "Keep firing the Heaven-tier weaponry!"

As a major region possessing the pinnacle of armed forces in the Huaxu Nation, the East China Sea Major Region was not only home to powerful Transcendents. Their military strength was equally formidable!

Three years into the apocalypse, the emergence of Transcendents had overshadowed the armed forces that once maintained order in the world.

However, as Transcendents continued to evolve, humanity's research into weapons designed to counter these powerful, hard-to-control beings had also been advancing steadily.

The Heaven-tier weaponry was an ultra-powerful weapon system specifically developed to target Epsilon-class Transcendents.

In other words, it could be understood as a shorter-range, smaller-coverage version of the Love of Death.
