Chapter 1220: Hundreds of Thousands of Warships Bombard

"Kill!"

"Attack!"

Under the command of numerous officers, over ten million warships of the various Immortal Gate conscripted legions streaked across the sky.

Countless warships roared in, suddenly surging forth, maintaining a unified frequency, their cannon-fire dazzlingly brilliant. Because the legions were of uneven quality and could not form a unified magic power and divine sense frequency, they did not adopt an attack method that gathered all their strength into one.

Instead, several hundred thousand blazing pillars of light fired in unison!

The cannon-fire arrived in an instant, falling upon the densely packed army formations of the myriad races in the starry sky outside the world.

The myriad races' army formations possessed all the inherent chronic ailments of multi-faction allied forces — chaotic command and sluggish reactions — and because of the enormous differences between the races, the degree of chaos far exceeded that found in internal wars between human factions.

These chronic ailments of the myriad races' allied forces instantly revealed their terrible consequences under the sudden surprise attack.

"Charge, counterattack!"

"Kill!"

The movements between legions, even if a sudden surprise attack, unexpected, could not escape the eyes of the individual powerful experts among the myriad races' allied forces.

They discovered it at the first instant, roared fiercely, and commanded their race's army formations to unleash spell-arts as large as Shanfeng one after another — Tushan, Shi Zhu, giant blades of flame and other Dao Deng Fa were deployed in succession.

The fastest to react was the great army of the Blood Vine Skeleton Demon race — hundreds of millions of bone arrows fired at once. Though it seemed like outdated cold weapons, in truth, under the army formation's augmentation, they pierced through thousands of kilometers of starry sky in an instant, their speed surpassing all ballistic missiles of the old era — a worthy killing weapon of the Immortal Dao starry-sky warfare level.

These races' great armies reacted extremely swiftly; indeed, among them, a few elite skeleton armies possessed strength exceeding even the strongest Ninth Army Group of the conscripted legions — skeleton iron armies forged through centuries of continuous sacrificial refinement and slaughter, of constant victory.

The conscripted legions' sudden raid was, to them, nothing more than ordinary maneuvering — there was nothing sudden about it.

However, such elite great armies were an extreme minority within the myriad races' allied forces.

Those who could react at the first instant numbered only a dozen or so demon-race great armies — the Blood Vine Skeleton Demon race, the Mountain Rock Giant race, the Tidal Sea Demon race, and others.

The remaining myriad races' great armies were willing but unable.

They truly did not wish to betray their allied races at this moment, but they were truly powerless — the great armies under their command were in chaotic disorder, a complete mess, some blocking the path, others inflicting friendly casualties, wailing for their fathers and mothers in great swathes.

"Not good!"

What the rebel kings like Steel Bone King and others had always worried about had happened.

Clearly they possessed a numerical advantage of several dozen times, yet in the local battlefield they found themselves at an absolute disadvantage in strength instead.

Boom!

Rumble!

Several hundred thousand blazing pillars of light blasted forth from the Immortal Gate's ten-million-strong conscripted fleet, falling upon the densely packed myriad races' allied forces. Where the cannon-fire struck, one translucent ring of light after another appeared, and within them the skeleton, Mountain Rock Giant, Tidal Sea Demon and other powerful races' great armies instantly suffered

devastating blows.

Skeletons turned to fine powder, Mountain Rock Giants became rubble, Tidal Sea Demons scattered into countless mists of blood across the starry sky.

The stronger the race, the faster they reacted — and instead they suffered even greater blows!

In an instant, something happened that made Steel Bone King and the other race kings' eyes split with rage — the elite race great armies they relied upon to roam the starry sky had diminished by over a million in an instant!

Under the opponent's overwhelming bombardment, the skeletons' arrow volleys turned to powder, the Mountain Rock Giants' boulder throws became fragments… utterly useless, their power of resistance so feeble.

"Fire!"

"Fire! Fire!"

Officers of the conscripted legions such as Gunxuan Master Dinghai Zhenjun revealed blazing gazes, roaring repeatedly.

Clearly, when they had made their resolve, they had not expected the opponent to be so incompetent, the massive army formations to be so Clumsy and Heavy, so chaotic — nothing like the tremendous momentum they had displayed.

Boom!

Boom boom!

The Immortal Gate conscripted legions' cultivators' morale surged greatly; pressing their advantage without mercy, the cannon-fire blasted out again and again, beams of blazing light dazzling the entire starry sky, covering the strongest dozen or so powerful races' great armies.

The light of destruction fell within the gaze of all cultivators of those dozen or so powerful races' great armies, clearly illuminating their terrified eyes.

This was not a matter of courage or the lack of it!

In this local battlefield, they had encountered an Immortal Gate conscripted fleet whose average strength exceeded their own, whose command was unified, whose military orders were consistent — yet whose numbers were ten times their own!

There was no trick whatsoever, it was purely overwhelming force.

How could they resist?

In a short time, these dozen or so powerful races' elite great armies instantly fell into a state of annihilation!

"Intercept them!"

"This cannot continue!"

Steel Bone King roared in fury.

He charged at the forefront, his body rapidly expanding to several hundred zhang in size, taking the form of a silver-gleaming skeleton, ink-green hair streaming through the air like giant forest pythons.

He gripped a bone hammer of ancient, austere aura, and madly cleaved toward the several hundred thousand cannon-fire.

This bone hammer's aura was heavy; at a glance it was clearly of considerable age. Named the Bone Emperor Hammer, it was a heavy treasure from the Blood Vine Skeleton Demon Imperial Court of several hundred thousand years ago, the race's inherited token of authority — a seventh-tier item with most of its might sealed away, akin to the imperial jade seal of the Blood Vine Skeleton Demon race.

At this moment, this object was held in the hands of a peak Soul Transformation realm imperial son, its aura extremely terrifying.

"Kill!"

At the same moment Steel Bone King struck, several hundred kings of the various races likewise struck, each one bearing a heavy aura, their pressure like Rushan.

These kings came from over a hundred Minor Thousand Worlds; many of the kings had their races purged, had fled their homelands, and bore an undying grudge against the Immortal Gate. At this critical juncture they did not

retreat, but followed Steel Bone King and charged forward together.

Soul Transformation cultivators possessed mobility far surpassing that of legions!

These kings interposed themselves before the several hundred thousand Immortal Gate conscripted legions' cannon-fire, unwilling to watch the powerful races' elite great armies be utterly destroyed and this war end in total failure.

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Steel Bone roared, vast magic power gathering in the Bone Emperor Hammer. Innumerable bone chains, resembling yet weaker than the Laws of Order, sprang into being between heaven and earth, madly smashing toward the midst of the several hundred thousand cannon-fire.

Boom!

Wherever the Bone Emperor Hammer reached, countless legions' volleyed ship-cannons collapsed, dissolving into harmless wisps of spiritual light that scattered like a gentle breeze brushing one's face.

Under this single hammer strike, among the tens of millions of conscript legions' volleyed ship-cannons, fully one-third of the legions' volleyed ship-cannon light pillars were forcibly extinguished.

One person, comparable to several million troops!

"Kill!"

The subsequent several hundred thousand Soul Transformation cultivators of the clan struck together—blade-light, blood-light, green-light, earth-light—every variety of Soul Transformation attack blanketed the sky, their might vast beyond compare, surging forward like a tide, forcibly extinguishing the Immortal Gate's tens of millions of conscripted army's several volleys of ship-cannon fire.

The heavens and starry sky seemed to suddenly fall still.

This was the power of an individual strong-expert within the Immortal Dao.

Although the number of the various Kings was nearly negligible before an army of several hundred million, in terms of true strength—even in direct battlefield power, head-on without any maneuvering—several hundred Soul Transformation cultivators were still stronger than an army of several hundred million.

"Quickly transfer troops over…"

Having gained a sliver of breathing room and salvaged the situation, the various Kings swiftly issued commands, not daring to hold things back at this moment.

The next instant, many Kings revealed expressions of terror.

"No!"

"Save, save me…"

Many Kings screamed piteously, instantly igniting their essence blood to flee, sparing nothing.

However,

Amid a flash of light, many figures revealed themselves at just the right moment in the gaps between these Kings' attacks, unleashing strikes they had long stored up.

A slender skeletal finger tapped, and a thousand skeletal bone swords launched in unison;

A flame giant wielding a great flame sword roared as it cleaved toward the several dozen Soul Transformation cultivators around it, utterly wild and arrogant;

A ghastly blood sword suddenly appeared in the hearts of several Kings…

In such fashion, these long-concealed Immortal Gate conscripted Soul Transformation cultivators launched a sudden ambush, blood-light blooming in an instant, severing the bodies of one alien-race King after another, which plummeted through the air.

In that single instant, at least thirty-plus alien-race Kings died!

Many unlucky races even had all their Kings instantly slain; the cultivators of those race armies revealed expressions of terror, abandoned everything, and fled madly in all directions—collapsing.

A race without Kings, no matter which side won, would be the loser—there was no difference!

This war, for them, had already lost its meaning.

These routed races further stirred chaos among the Ten Thousand Races Allied Army, causing the speed of their assembly to drop once more.

"Traitors…"

The Steel Bone King gripped the Bone Emperor Hammer, looking toward that slender skeleton, his face twisted with frenzied hatred.

Only this person!

It must be this person—only an Imperial Son possessing the Skeletal Blood Imperial Court's inheritance could so easily evade his divine sense, causing him to make a major strategic misjudgment that led to the instant death of thirty-plus Kings and plunged them into a tremendous strategic disadvantage.
