Chapter 1279 - 1139: Earth-Shattering Strike

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1139: Earth-Shattering Strike

The Paranoid is an experienced warrior, well aware that one must not be distracted during combat.

However, he is also a genius in cultivation, Qu Jianlei excels in multi-threading operations, and he is no less proficient in this aspect.

So he allocated a portion of his spirit to observe, wanting to know what exactly is happening.

This was not just out of curiosity; he also wanted to see if the leader made a move, who it might be against.

On the battlefield, unnecessary loss is the most taboo, especially repeated attacks on a target.

Not only does it increase the consumption of ammunition or Inner Breath, but more importantly, it wastes the most crucial thing—time!

During past battles, Qu Jianlei’s team was very efficient and chose opponents almost instinctively.

However, even so, there have been repeated attacks, though not frequently.

Recently, when everyone discussed coordination strategies, they did touch on this issue and reached some agreements.

At this moment, the Paranoid was distracted observing Qu Jianlei, not just out of curiosity, but also to avoid waste.

However, what he observed was somewhat unexpected: why were there no indications of the set target?

The Paranoid doesn’t just rely on his eyes or Spiritual Power to observe the leader, but also on relevant analysis and even intuition.

No matter how he perceives, he cannot find out who the leader’s intended opponent is.

Subsequently, the Nth yellow light from the Five Elements Battle Array shot out again, hitting the camp-level ship.

This yellow light was everyone’s charger strike.

But this time, the charged strike didn’t reach its maximum effectiveness.

The reason is simple, the Nutrient Injection and the Paranoid were distracted and output additional attacks.

Moreover, the charging time was a bit short, mainly because they couldn’t wait any longer.

This yellow light truly had an effect, directly breaking the camp-level ship’s defenses, cutting a long slit in the belly of the ship.

Two sealed cabins were cut open; the damage was not severe and didn’t affect normal combat, but undeniably, the defenses were breached.

However, it was only a breach of defense.

If there is no subsequent continuous attack, the Protective Shield will quickly recover, and even the damaged sealed cabins can be repaired.

Yet the next moment, a faint white light flashed, so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

At the same time, the faces of four people changed subtly: Nutrient Injection, Paranoid, Qinghu, and the Supreme opponent.

All four felt that within that faint white light, there was extraordinarily terrifying Energy and... momentum.

Nutrient Injection suffered significant backlash after three consecutive Spiritual Attacks.

Yet he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, "This guy... does the leader have this move?"

Paranoid’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Such power of attack, is it on the Supreme level?"

The Supreme’s reaction was much simpler, "Oh my... is this another Supreme?"

Earlier dizzy from the Spiritual Attack, although his Perception wasn’t greatly affected, now he was left with only intuition.

The most distinctive person was Qinghu; she was not a member of the Five Elements Battle Array, just the Guardian of the Battle Array.

Of course, she herself was a candidate for the Battle Array, able to substitute for Paranoid or Mu Yu, that goes without saying.

At this moment, Qinghu was also the most injured among the six Supreme individuals.

As the Guardian of the Array, she often couldn’t receive the protection of the Array but had to manage external attacks.

Her method of dealing wasn’t to help block the attacks; her own defense, no matter how strong, couldn’t match the defense of the Battle Array itself.

Qinghu chose to strike, targeting individuals posing greater threats, she launched attacks.

She was the only one among Qu Jianlei’s six Supremes to take action against individual targets.

Two A-level opponents were killed and injured, one Supreme lightly injured—all were her work.

However, this made her presence quite prominent and drew focused attacks from others.

Fortunately, Qinghu’s defense is strong enough, complemented by her Instant Flash technique, compensating for the inadequacies of Body Technique.

Faced with extremely powerful attacks, she would retreat into regions covered by the Array’s defense, briefly yielding.

However, the regions shielded by the Array are limited and continually changing; she cannot always hide within it.

Doing so would also affect the operation of the Array and would not be conducive to her launching omnidirectional attacks.

In short, she was a qualified Guardian, observing from all directions and completing the task of protecting the Battle Array very well.

After this battle, even the Paranoid expressed sentiment, "This Battle Array really needs a Guardian."

Previously, everyone thought the Guardian for a Battle Array was probably just like the Dharma Protector during cultivation, used as a precaution.

A Guardian is certainly good; without it... it’s just nonexistent.

Qinghu repeatedly resolved crises for her side, effectively avoiding potential battle losses.

She demonstrated through her performance that a Guardian is not unnecessary but an essential force to fill gaps.

However, precisely due to her exceptional performance, she was frequently targeted by opponents, suffering injuries in multiple areas.

Fortunately, she possesses both sand and soil attributes, her ability to take hits is exceptionally strong.

These are all side notes because she had to guard against various attacks and counterattacks, she was continually observing the battle situation.

The leader was her main focus of observation, so she witnessed firsthand that the white light emanated from the leader’s mouth.

She wasn’t quite sure what the white light was, but when it appeared, the leader’s spirit suddenly diminished significantly.

Spirit is something nearly impossible to detect without careful perception, luckily she had been observing the entire situation closely.

It was definitely the leader’s trump card! Qinghu was certain of this.

The faint white light flashed by, and the camp-level ship attacking paused instantly, with most of its weapons suddenly going silent.

The next moment, the massive camp-level ship broke into two pieces, transitioning quickly from slow to fast as it plummeted towards the ground.

"What the...?" The Paranoid was left speechless upon seeing this scene, unable to articulate his shock.

The camp-level warship was tough and robust, and he had experienced this first hand, especially since the opposition came prepared with defenses fully in place.

Of course, the battle array gradually eroding it could still destroy the opponent, but it required time.

The Paranoid believed, even for a true Supreme, it wouldn’t be easy to decisively destroy a camp-level ship.

The best choice would be to approach the camp-level ship, engage in a boarding battle to enter the starship interior, and then capture or destroy the warship.

In front of high-tech weapons, individual power... well, there’s no need to confront the opposition’s strengths with one’s weaknesses.

Asymmetrical power should lead to asymmetrical warfare.

However, the white light emitted by the leader effortlessly slashed the camp-level ship into two, truly matching the momentum released in that instant.

That single strike probably exceeded the Supreme level, he couldn’t help but think.

"Smooth cuts in two!" Mu Guang was bewildered upon witnessing this, "What a sharp attack!"

Being skilled in archaeology, his observation skills far surpassed others. He noticed the camp-level ship’s break was remarkably smooth!

According to common sense, it takes a Divine Weapon to cut like that.

As for what level of Divine Weapon could slash open a camp-level ship—he presently lacks the imagination for that.

Nevertheless, saying the white light was quite weak, it didn’t appear like any weapon at all.

Moreover, to smoothly sever a camp-level ship requires ultra-fast particles to make the cuts.

Many starships are processed this way after being scrapped. But... it requires related cutting equipment, right?

Thus Mu Guang initially determined this to be a miraculous Secret Technique.

With proper use of certain elements, such a result is... seemingly not impossible?

But what the Secret Technique truly entails, he cannot conceive of.

It’s not a lack of imagination, rather his knowledge only allows speculation to this extent.

At the very least, compared to other unfounded guesses, it’s relatively sensible, isn’t it?

Among Qu Jianlei’s group, the strongest in Perception is the Nutrient Injection.

He didn’t sense the white light emanating from the leader’s mouth, but he confirmed one thing: it was a Divine Text Spiritual Artifact!

Why is it called a Divine Text Spiritual Artifact? Because within the Awakened System, there are no Dharma Artifacts at all.

Whether the leader can develop a Dharma Artifact for the Awakened System, he believes that may be possible someday, but certainly not now.

In fact, the leader being able to activate a Divine Text Spiritual Artifact was already quite unexpected for him.

Especially since the artifact’s power far exceeded his imagination.

He muttered under his breath, "Indeed, the capable can do anything. What kind of power is this?"

This sudden change not only shocked Qu Jianlei’s side but also left the opponent completely stunned.

The camp-level ship on their side broke defense! This was what they were focused on earlier.

As one of their two major cards in this battle, the camp-level ship breaking its defense was certainly a dire situation.

However, the opponent’s defense completely collapsed, and the battle already appeared one-sided. Some minor damage was truly insignificant.

The enemy continued to resist, not only causing losses to smaller ships, but the camp-level ship’s damage was the opponent’s desperate counterattack.

Yet it was merely that; their Supreme had already intervened, and the battle would only end more quickly.

The camp-level ship suffered only minor injuries, not only could it hold on for a long time but also continue to attack.

Yet all this was completely altered by the appearance of a white light!

"What the hell is this?" someone couldn’t help but curse, their voice even trembling.

Not out of anger, but out of fear.

At this moment, the one most despairing was the Supreme under Spiritual Attack, left dizzy and disoriented.

With his mind being attacked, his consciousness had not yet fully recovered, and his Perception was rapidly declining.

He hadn’t perceived the camp-level ship being destroyed, but he keenly sensed a massive shift in the battle.

Due to the camp-level ship’s destruction, the sound of artillery suddenly reduced by one-third, especially the loudest part.

Even a blind person could realize, something major must have happened to the camp-level ship!

With effort, he released chaotic Perception, vaguely discovering the camp-level ship sliced into two was plummeting sharply.
