Chapter 1368: Our Chance Has Come!
Chapter 1368: Our Chance Has Come!
Shang Xia saw how the gray pillar of light was weakened by at least half as it surrounded the heavenly screen of the Spirit Dawn World. It became a thin layer and only managed to block off their sense of sight and perhaps their divine soul that would try to extend out of their world to locate the fleet. However... They were still in the enemy’s home ground, and the Spirit Dawn World definitely controlled the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles of space.
In Shang Xia’s eyes, even the Spirit Luxuriant World that had barely ascended for tens of years could lock onto their targets easily as long as they were within 300,000 miles of the world. The Spirit Dawn World would definitely be no different. The Twin Star Pirates’ actions were useless in his eyes.
However, from how confident Gong Zhuo looked, along with the trace of anticipation in his eyes, Shang Xia couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong.
Is the technique really so mystical?
He suddenly recalled something and asked, “Is this because the Stargazer of the Twin Star Pirates hiding in the Essence Ling Heavenly Field is right inside the Spirit Dawn World?!”
“Hah!” Gong Zhuo roared with laughed, “I knew we wouldn’t be able to hide it from you! That’s right. The Twin Star Pirates’ skills have something to do with the hidden Stargazer, but that’s not all...” He paused for a second before he sighed helplessly, “If the Spirit Dawn World had their own Stargazer inheritance... They wouldn’t be able to do this so easily.”
“What are you talking...” Shang Xia hadn’t finished when he was interrupted by a pillar of light that emerged from the gray screen above their world.
When he turned to look, he discovered that the Spirit Dawn World gathered enough energy to launch another attack with Seventh Order energy, and it was aimed straight at the ship of the Twin Star Pirates rushing at the very front.
Too bad for them, the Twin Star Pirates seemed to have seen it coming as they teleported a short distance in the void.
It was originally a dangerous move, and Shang Xia actually suspected they were rushing to their deaths by teleporting in a battle of such intensity. With how close they were to the Spirit Dawn World, as long as any True Immortal made a move, they would be able to disrupt the void and cause the Star Ship to shatter to pieces.
However, their seemingly suicidal move wasn’t disrupted at all. To be more exact, the True Immortals of the Spirit Dawn World didn’t discover their reckless actions.
Shang Xia frowned and watched as the pillar of energy missed. It eventually scattered all around. Other than forcing the other 2 ships to move to the side and causing the giant Star Ship to pause slightly, it failed to cause any damage.
“Is a Stargazer able to detect the weakness of a world? Or has there always been a blind spot in the Spirit Dawn World’s grand formation? Could the hidden Stargazer have found both the weakness and the blind spot, waiting for a time when it was safe for them to teleport before communicating with the Twin Star Pirates with their special skill?” Shang Xia guessed. “Of course, to dare to do something like that, the Twin Star Pirates definitely prepared more. At the very least, the quality of their Star Ship is definitely out of the ordinary to be able to withstand the strain from teleporting through the void...”
If not for the fact that they were preparing for battle, Gong Zhuo would have clapped and praised Shang Xia. Unfortunately, it was time for them to be serious.
The Spirit Dawn World wasted a chance to attack their enemies, and the Star Ships arrived within 100,000 miles of their world.
Soon... The Capital Star Ship of the Twin Star Pirates closed the distance and slammed into the heavenly screen.
No one knew if it was intentional or not, but the heavenly screen of the Spirit Dawn World suddenly increased its defenses at the very last second, trapping half the body of the Star Ship outside.
Even though its appearance seemed to shock the Spirit Dawn World, the Capital Star Ship of the Twin Star Pirates actually became a sitting duck for the attacks of the experts of the Spirit Dawn World due to how it was stuck in the heavenly screen.
The experts of the Spirit Dawn World were enraged by the sudden invasion, and they had half a mind to rush at the Star Ship to blow it to shreds. Unfortunately, as they were running at the Star Ship, a miserable cry rang through the Spirit Dawn World. “Oh no! Hurry and run, my Elysium...”
Boom...
A dull blast rocked the Spirit Dawn World and the fluctuations slowly spread to the void around it.
The Star Ship that was stuck in the heavenly screen was torn to shreds instantly. At the same time, a hole was torn because of it and world origin started to pour out from the gap. As world origin streamed out of the hole, it started to expand.
True Immortals of the Spirit Dawn World who were surrounding the ship started to back away immediately, but there was 1 who was closest to it being swept away without a trace. 2 others managed to struggle free, but they looked to be in a very sorry state. It was highly likely they suffered heavy injuries.
Other than the True Immortal who died and the 2 who suffered injuries, no one knew how many Martial Dipper Realm and Martial Extermination Realm cultivators died during the blast. All they could see was a massive heavenly phenomenon created during the deaths of many experts. From the extent of the heavenly phenomenon, one could only imagine how much losses the Spirit Dawn World suffered.
However... The deaths of those experts didn’t mean shit!
The interior of the Spirit Dawn World was what suffered the greatest damage!
What the Twin Star Pirates’ Star Ship crashed into earlier was a giant vortex above the heavenly screen when it arrived, and it went without saying that the Elysium was directly below it! When it crashed into the vortex, the Elysium also suffered great damage.
The Elysium True Immortal was killed instantly by the massive impact, and the grand formation that could gather Seventh Order energy was also no longer able to operate smoothly.
Naturally, the destruction of an Elysium wouldn’t just cause so little damage.
With the destruction of the Elysium, countless cultivators were killed or suffered heavy injuries.
700 miles around the sect turned to dust instantly, and the foundations of the sect that had accumulated for a long time dissipated.
With the Elysium’s origin energy pouring out into the rest of the world, the World Origin Source that was connected to it also started to tremble. Disasters swept across the continent. Earthquakes, avalanches, volcano eruptions, and others took place one after another, causing massive loss of life. The foundations of the continent were greatly affected and it even caused the surrounding continents to weaken.
The invasion posed a massive threat to the world, and the Elysium’s destruction dealt a huge blow to the Spirit Dawn World.
As the other 3 ships closed in on the world, Shang Xia saw the layer of gray light above the heavenly screen rolling about.
“The heavenly screen is used to protect the world from external threats, and the Spirit Dawn World is no exception. The Twin Star Pirates have already gotten used to attacking worlds and the layer of gray light not only covered their vision. It also blocked off their external defense system! Those defense systems were directed out of the world, and they couldn’t be used within. With the destruction of the Elysium and the torrential world origin pouring out of it, those defense systems were torn to shreds!” Gong Zhuo started to explain what happened, starting with the gray light the Twin Star Pirates released earlier. He seemed to be in a great mood.
In the depths of space behind the 3 Star Ships advancing towards the Spirit Dawn World, spots of light appeared and disappeared one after another. The Star Ships that had been recalled by the Spirit Dawn World were destroyed one after another.
Shang Xia nodded slowly at Gong Zhuo’s explanation. At the same time, he looked at the Spirit Dawn World and burned everything that was happening into his mind.
The fate of the Spirit Dawn World might one day befall the Spirit Luxuriant World.
From the intelligence provided by the Wanyun Association, the Spirit Dawn World was still a level higher than his Spirit Luxuriant World. It had been growing for a much longer time.
Shang Xia took the opportunity as a way to prepare for any invasion by external powers, and as he continued to watch, the Spirit Dawn World was thrown into a mess. Its defenses were made a mess by the escaping world origin.
Even though both sides hadn’t fought in an all-out melee, the Spirit Dawn World had already lost several experts. 2 were killed and at least 2 more were injured.
The Spirit Dawn World had 19 True Immortals in total. With the casualties they suffered, the number who could fight didn’t exceed 15.
The defense systems that suffered heavy damage were completely destroyed when the layer of gray light disappeared. The 3 Star Ships that were rushing at the Spirit Dawn World reappeared in their sights, but they were only 50,000 miles away at that moment.
After getting past their initial shock, the Spirit Dawn World quickly reorganized themselves. The remaining 6 Elysiums completed their battle formation and launched another attack at the Star Ships.
The rainbow colored light around the massive Star Ship had been broken from the last strike, and in the eyes of the Spirit Dawn World, it no longer had a way to protect itself.
Unfortunately, they could no longer wield Seventh Order energy with the loss of an Elysium!
Unleashing their third attack, the pillar of light became a lot thinner than before.
The Star Ship that Shang Xia suspected the Wanyun Association had disguised as a Spirit Ark where Zhang Shun was, appeared before the massive Star Ship to block the pillar of light.
The Talisman Formation that was activated by a Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman blocked the shot. The Star Ship was not harmed in the slightest.
At the same time, Shang Xia could feel that the energy of the Star Ship he was on had reached the limit of what it could be.
Zhang Shun’s Star Ship also detected the change as they quickly moved out of the way.
Under Shang Xia’s shocked gaze, a sharp point sitting at the bow of the ship shot out at a terrifying speed. The next moment, another vortex above the heavenly screen was destroyed as another hole appeared in the heavenly screen. It didn’t restore itself as quickly either.
Gong Zhun nearly jumped in joy when he saw what happened as he yelled, “This is it! It’s time to attack the Spirit Dawn World!”
