Chapter 261: Invincible Below the Seven Realms

"They're coming!"

"Get ready for battle!"

Not long after, the large forces of the Monster Clan and the Insect Clan approached Lan Xing.

The vanguard consisted of the Insect Clan's Insect Warships.

This time, these Insect Warships no longer tried to break through the Star-Protecting Grand Formation; instead, they headed straight for the many Space Fortresses.

"Boom—boom—boom—boom~"

"Chi—chi—chi~"

Inside the Space Fortress, all weapons fired at full power, weaving a dense firepower net.

Those Insect Warships were torn apart before they could even get close.

These Insect Warships themselves are composed of countless Combat Insects; even after being shattered, vast numbers of Combat Insects still survive.

These Combat Insects spread out, blanketing the sky and swarming toward the Space Fortress.

Then they will be attacked by weapons with shorter range.

The firepower of the Space Fortress remains extraordinarily fierce.

Even a Four Realms-level Combat Insect, if it comes alone, will surely be killed.

However, with so many Insect Warships attacking at once, some Three Realms Combat Insects that perform well can break through the firepower net.

"These two clans have really teamed up."

Lu Xun flew into the sky and kept attacking.

The Insect Star is not located on this ancient road node.

The Insect Clan here developed from the Insect Nest left behind by the Insect Star, and there is at most one Brain Worm inside.

The Brain Worm's task is to cause as much trouble as possible for any Spirit Star that reaches here, restraining its development.

So, if the Yao Xing and the Insect Clan had not joined forces, the Insect Clan would not focus its attack on the Space Fortress.

With such fierce firepower from the Space Fortress, an Insect Clan attack here would only bring heavy losses.

It is far less than landing on the surface of Lan Xing, which would cause massive destruction to Lan Xing.

Now, however, the Insect Clan is recklessly throwing itself at the Space Fortress.

Obviously, they are coordinating with the Monster Clan.

The Insect Clan takes the vanguard, drawing the firepower of the Space Fortress.

Then the Monster Clan carries out the main breakthrough to capture the fortress.

Mainly because the Star-Annihilation Cannons on these Space Fortresses pose too great a threat to the Yao Xing.

Without them, the Yao Xing would have already fully descended.

Over a thousand Star-Annihilation Cannons are equivalent to over a thousand Eight Realms cultivators attacking at full strength.

In terms of large-scale destructive power, these Star-Annihilation Cannons are even more ferocious than some Eight Realms cultivators.

No matter which clan, reaching the Eight Realms is extremely difficult.

It requires not only vast resources but also time.

All Eight Realms cultivators from every nation on Lan Xing added together would unlikely total a thousand.

This shows how great the effect of these Star-Annihilation Cannons is.

And the Star-Annihilation Cannons in the Yuheng Fortress are even more powerful, naturally becoming the primary target.

From the start of the battle, it became extraordinarily fierce.

Its intensity surpassed even that of the Dark Beast Tide.

The Insect Warships came too fiercely, filling the sky with Combat Insects.

Even though the Yuheng Fortress is larger and its firepower fiercer, many still slip through the net.

The cultivators stationed here began to act frequently, dealing with the Combat Insects.

As for the Monster Clan, they have not yet taken action.

They are probably waiting for the right moment.

"Whoosh—whoosh~"

Lu Xun wielded his flying sword against the enemy; hundreds of flying swords roamed the vicinity, killing every Combat Insect they passed.

The area within a few hundred meters of him became a life-forbidden zone—no Combat Insect could enter and survive.

Murong Wan and Chu Youqing also fought with all their strength; the two women on the artillery platform cooperated with the stationed cultivators to slay every incoming Combat Insect.

As for Fu Yue, she has not yet acted.

This fortress is quite important, not only because it has Star-Annihilation Cannons, but also because it is a vital node of the Star-Protecting Grand Formation.

Besides her, there are three Six Realms cultivators guarding the fortress.

Moreover, this place is extremely close to the Grand Void Secret Realm; if any unexpected situation arises, the powerful beings stationed in the Grand Void Secret Realm can come out to assist.

However, in the scenario of a full-scale invasion by the Yao Xing, there actually aren't many powerful beings left stationed in the Grand Void Secret Realm.

Above the Eight Realms, cultivators basically have entered the starry sky to wage fierce battles against the Monster Clan.

"Monster Clan... heh, are they testing our strength?"

After fighting for a while, Lu Xun used the Heavenly Dao Eye and discovered many Monster Clan members hiding in the rear.

Several of these Monster Clan members are actually humans, indistinguishable from humans by appearance alone.

Monster Clan members can generally assume human form upon reaching the Five Realms.

However, Five Realms shape-shifting is incomplete, retaining many animal traits.

Six Realms shape-shifting is more perfect, and many Monster Clan members can already become indistinguishable from humans.

When the opponent does not make a move, even cultivators somewhat weaker cannot tell the difference.

Without ocular divine abilities like the Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, cultivators of the Four-Five Realms could be deceived.

If they fought, it would be easy; as long as the opponent uses demon power, they will definitely reveal themselves.

This group of demons hiding in the rear has several Six Realms cultivators, possibly even a Seventh Boundary.

They haven't moved yet; they should be observing the strength of Jade Balance Fortress, hoping to take this fortress in one fell swoop.

"Be careful!"

A few minutes later, the Insect Tribe's offensive intensified further.

A large number of war insects above the Four Realms surged forth; after breaking through the firepower circle of the Space Fortress, they madly slaughtered downward.

"How can there be so many?"

Lu Xun was startled.

These war insects above the Four Realms may not be overly numerous, yet they give a feeling of dense, countless swarms.

"Whoosh~"

"Boom~"

Lu Xun no longer hesitated, unleashing full firepower.

Flying swords, fireball technique, sword qi, and many other means were all employed.

With Lu Xun's outbreak, war insect corpses fell like raindrops from the sky.

"Who is this person?"

In the distance, a Six Realms cultivator saw Lu Xun and couldn't help but be startled.

Lu Xun's firepower is simply too ferocious.

Several Five Realms war insects hidden within the insect swarm charged toward Lu Xun.

Lu Xun raised his hand and unleashed a sword strike.

Though called a single sword strike, he actually unleashed over a hundred sword strikes in a short time.

Annihilation-level sword intent instantly sliced through their indestructible insect shells, turning several Five Realms war insects into corpses.

These war insects have astonishing defense; if the attack is of a spell type, it is not so easy to break through their defenses.

For Lu Xun, however, it is not a problem at all.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a commotion came from the heavens.

Lu Xun looked up and saw Fu Yue unexpectedly unleash the Heaven-Earth Dharma Manifestation, using a Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Prison to clear a wave of insect ships above the fortress.

"Die!"

A demon figure wrapped in lightning charged forward, engaging Fu Yue in a fierce battle.

"Great Demon King!"

This demon figure is clearly a Seventh Boundary Great Demon King.

No wonder Fu Yue suddenly cleared the field; it turns out she had approached a breakthrough to the Seventh Boundary.

"Pew~"

Suddenly, a Six Realms war insect launched a sneak attack.

This war insect moves with extreme speed, appearing and leaving without a trace.

It is the Insect Tribe's Shadow Insect, just like the Shadow Tribe, extremely skilled at assassination.

After Lu Xun blocked the attack with his Space Shield and Red Armor Shield, its subsequent attacks were all dodged by it.

"Too fast!"

Although his combat power now exceeds the norm, enabling him to kill Six Realms beings, he mainly relies on Babala's Curse and Annihilation-level Sword Intent.

Among these, Babala's Curse is the most crucial.

Otherwise, Six Realms beings would not be so easy to kill.

Just like this Shadow Insect, its speed is such that Lu Xun's attacks keep missing; even using spatial means offers little recourse.

It is too fast to lock onto; one can only target an area, giving it room to maneuver.

"Do-re-mi fa-so-la ti~ @#￥&（*&~"

Thus, Lu Xun indeed employed the incantation and finished it off.

This curse is the bane of speedy foes.

"If it were a Seventh Boundary being, using the curse would probably not be so easy to kill."

Lu Xun glanced at the heavens, thinking.

Every Seventh Boundary being can wield Heaven-Earth power; even demons, when fighting, gain Heaven-Earth power.

When Heaven-Earth power is employed, the curse's effect is greatly diminished.

Because what needs to be immobilized is not just the Seventh Boundary itself, but also Heaven and Earth.

On the other hand, under the augmentation of Heaven-Earth's might, to kill a Seventh Boundary one must first break the Heaven-Earth power driving the opponent.

Even if Seventh Boundary beings are not easy to kill, if this curse is used well, it remains a great killing tool.

"Stop them quickly! They want to destroy the Star Annihilation Cannon!"

A Six Realms being shouted.

Lu Xun saw several Six Realms demons charging down.

Meanwhile, the other three Six Realms beings were restrained by Six Realms war insects.

The sole target of these few Six Realms demons is the Star Annihilation Cannon.

Before they even arrived, a sky-covering barrage fell down.

"Activate the shield!"

Above the Star-Annihilation Cannon, a shield quickly opened.

Although the space fortress's defensive formation couldn't be activated, a small-scale shield could be.

"Finally here?"

At the same time, Lu Xun shifted his form and rushed upward.

"Courting death!"

A Six Realms demon flicked his hand, and countless blades shot toward Lu Xun.

Lu Xun avoided with several space jumps, but another Six Realms demon suddenly attacked, stagnating space, making his space jumps suddenly ineffective.

This guy also has space abilities.

"Hehe~"

With a light chuckle, another Six Realms demon blinked, and Lu Xun froze in place.

"Don't mind him, first destroy the Star-Annihilation Cannon!"

"No, he's mine!"

The first Six Realms demon to attack licked his tongue, turned into lightning, and lunged at Lu Xun.

Still halfway, his five fingers had turned into claws, aiming to rip out Lu Xun's heart.

As he neared Lu Xun, Lu Xun's eyes suddenly blinked, and his flying sword and sword aura burst forth simultaneously.

"Damn it!"

The Six Realms demon, taken by surprise, hastily manifested his true form to block Lu Xun's attack.

This guy turned out to be a massive demon rat.

"I've been waiting for you!"

What Lu Xun had been waiting for was now; he uttered a string of mysterious incantations.

"Not good."

The Six Realms demon rat was instantly immobilized.

The next second, Lu Xun's attack engulfed him.

"How could this be!"

The other Six Realms demons sensed the disappearance of the Six Realms demon rat's aura and all exclaimed in shock.

This demon rat's strength was not weak, yet Lu Xun killed him in a single exchange.

"Your turn now!"

After killing the demon rat, Lu Xun charged forward like a ferocious tiger pouncing on prey.

"His strength is probably unrivaled below the Seventh Realm!"

In the sky, Fu Yue was actually paying attention to the situation below.

Her opponent is quite strong; his true form should be a tiger demon that grows by consuming lightning.

Fu Yue handles it without much trouble, but defeating him takes time.

She originally had some worries about the battlefield below.

Who knew Lu Xun would be so fierce.

Can be called invincible below the Seventh Realm.

Now she knows how those unlucky, tragic Six Realms demon cultivators in Rong Cheng died.
