Chapter 1579: Chapter 1579 Surprise Attack
A bizarre scene unfolded. When the firepower of the Tianhe Fleet met the dark golden breath, all the artillery fire vanished into thin air, while the dark golden breath seemed to grow even stronger, overwhelming and frantically surging toward the Tianhe Fleet.
A forward-positioned Celestial Harmony Battleship bore the brunt. At this moment, the entire Tianhe Fleet was jointly defending, and the protection cover in front of this battleship suddenly erupted with a dazzling light. However, the dark golden breath abruptly retracted inward, transforming into a spindle shape, and pierced through the protection cover in an instant, stabbing into this Large Warship.
"Boom——" The warship exploded, raising a massive wave of air. Yet, the spindle-shaped dark golden breath remained, charging toward a second battleship behind.
The Tianhe Fleet’s response was quick. A layer of golden light rapidly illuminated the warships behind, gathering together like a light membrane and transforming back into defense.
The collision between the dark golden breath and the golden barrier caused the latter to dim rapidly, but the energy of the dark golden breath was finally exhausted.
One strike destroyed a Large Warship. This was the first time the Tianhe Fleet had a Large Warship destroyed since the war began. Previously, only the smaller warships responsible for the periphery and split off were destroyed.
From the day of its establishment, the Tianhe Fleet considered the threat posed by Super God-level powerhouses, so their joint defense was tailored to such threats. This was different from the fleets of the Douluo Federation.
In the Douluo Federation’s fleet, only the motherships could truly threaten Super God-level powerhouses. Other fleets had to operate under the protection of a mothership. However, the Tianhe Fleet’s research direction was to make the entire fleet a unit that defends as a whole. The advantage of this is that in facing weaker opponents, dispersed combat becomes easier. There’s no need to rely entirely on a mothership akin to a Space Fortress. Moreover, development and construction proceed much faster.
The Douluo Federation has only barely managed to assemble eight Cosmic Fleets over the years, amounting to just a few hundred warships. The biggest issue being the resources and manpower required to build the motherships.
Still, the Douluo Federation has its considerations. From the perspective of resources and the number of Administrative Planets occupied, the Federation requires structures like Space Fortresses, not just for conquest but for continuous expansion and development of more planets. A mothership akin to a Space Fortress can store and carry resources far beyond what ordinary warships can match.
In simple terms, the Tianhe Fleet excels in direct combat, while the Douluo Federation’s fleet is more comprehensive.
After one burst, the dark golden hue on the Giant Centipede noticeably dimmed. At this moment, Lan Xuanyu made his move again.
The previous level of attack made his scalp tingle with fear. If the target had been him, he wouldn’t know if the rib left by the Dragon God would have been able to withstand it. Even if it could, he would likely be injured.
But such an attack evidently couldn’t be sustained; after the launch, it was the opponent’s weakest moment.
The Emerald Demon Warship burst forth again. Its incredibly swift speed brought Lan Xuanyu almost instantaneously to the opposite side of the battlefield. Meanwhile, on the Tianhe Fleet’s side, an inconspicuous small warship quietly went missing.
This time, Lan Xuanyu chose yet another injured Giant Centipede. Unlike the one on the periphery earlier, this one was closer to the interior of the Giant Centipede formation.
The surroundings were filled with a large cloud of corrosive poisonous mist. However, Lan Xuanyu wasn’t too concerned, as the Treasure Hunting Beast had informed him that these poisonous mists couldn’t invade the range of his Dragon Power.
Under the cover of Dragon Air, the Emerald Demon Warship silently approached the Giant Centipede. Once again, locating the wound, the Golden Dragon Spear shot outward fiercely.
This time, however, the Giant Centipede reacted, being a God-level strong entity. Moreover, the earlier Giant Centipede had suffered severe injuries, while this one had merely lost a dozen legs.
The moment the Golden Dragon Spear was fired, the Giant Centipede seemed to sense the danger., twisting its body abruptly, and spraying out a massive cloud of poisonous mist with immense impact toward Lan Xuanyu’s direction.
It couldn’t see Lan Xuanyu nor sense him, but it could cover the area comprehensively. Additionally, it knew that if it could just resist briefly, its companions would come to its aid.
But since Lan Xuanyu had made a move, he wouldn’t allow it a chance to survive.
The piercing Golden Dragon Spear suddenly transformed into a brilliant nine-colored hue. Although the centipede had already changed its form to use its thick shell to block, at this moment, in front of the Golden Dragon Spear, that God-level defensive shell was ineffective.
Simultaneously, the nine-colored light suddenly erupted in magnificent splendor, releasing a terrifying aura instantly.
The Giant Centipede, already preparing to counter, seemed to sense something particularly terrifying and instinctively paused for a moment.
In that same instant, the nine-colored light swept over and obliterated the Giant Centipede. The next moment, Lan Xuanyu had already escaped again, like a wisp of smoke.
A Giant Centipede, relatively intact, could condense about four drops of Dragon God’s Dragon Marrow. Consuming one drop, injecting the true Dragon God’s Power into the Golden Dragon Spear, unleashed the Dragon God’s aura.
At that moment, Lan Xuanyu’s divine consciousness aura instilled fear even in the Giant Centipede. While not at the God King level, in that instant, it suppressed the opponent in terms of aura and bloodline suppression.
Despite being only a brief moment, it was sufficient for Lan Xuanyu.
Escape!
Given Lan Xuanyu’s cultivation, even a one-on-one duel to kill this God-level Giant Centipede was nothing significant. But in the midst of numerous Giant Centipedes, executing such a risky maneuver was not an easy task.
The greatest fear in such a surprise attack is getting entangled. Once entangled, even with the Dragon God’s three ribs for protection, he might not make it out. Therefore, when his first surprise attack couldn’t succeed immediately, he decisively drew upon the energy from Dragon God’s Dragon Marrow, executed a super-strong strike, not only to crush the opponent in an instant but also to devour the opponent’s Deep Red Realm energy completely, employing his divine consciousness for intimidation, and then turning to flee.
A one-for-four exchange, profitable indeed!
This time, the Tianhe Fleet clearly noticed something peculiar too. The nine-colored light was too conspicuous. Moreover, it instantly resulted in a Giant Centipede falling and disappearing. They naturally wouldn’t let such an opportunity pass, especially after just having a warship destroyed. Their firepower poured down madly, forcing the centipedes to retreat successively.
Lan Xuanyu had already fled far away by now, with numerous divine consciousnesses descending in this sector. He didn’t linger but sped off piloting the Emerald Demon Warship.
It’s nearly enough; I can’t continue further. Continuing might truly result in being targeted.
Having successively killed two Giant Centipedes, the benefits he gained were considerable. For now, it’s best to flee first.
The Emerald Demon Warship continued accelerating. He planned to take a large circle in space and then return to the Celestial Harmony Star to observe and wait for the next opportunity. Continuing to engage is just too risky. Moreover, with the seven or eight drops of Dragon God’s Dragon Marrow he obtained, he felt as if his blood was boiling within him. His right arm emitted a scorching aura, and the speed of bloodline transformation significantly increased. It seems he shouldn’t absorb too much at once and needs to digest it gradually.
The speed of the Emerald Demon Warship was exceptionally swift, yet at that moment, a sudden warning instinctively arose in his heart without any sign.
Under Lan Xuanyu’s control, the Emerald Demon Warship almost flipped to the side instantaneously. On all sides, countless shadows suddenly emerged, entwining towards the warship like ribbons, quickly coiling around the Emerald Demon Warship. It felt as though the warship, resembling a little bird, had crashed into a vast net, making Lan Xuanyu feel an inescapable sense of entrapment.
