Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

For a moment, the dark universe was illuminated by the flashes of perishing lives. Countless remnants were swirling and drifting in the shining ocean like macula. Too many creatures were instantly vaporized. Even the experts in the Core Formation Stage or the Nascent Soul Stage were also obliterated physically and mentally despite their struggle in the turbulences raised by the barrage of thousands of cannons.

Compared to the vast sea of stars, the lives of human beings were so insignificant, and human beings seemed to have understood their insignificance so well that they did not consider their lives a big deal at all but simply squandered them in the bloodiest and goriest ways, enjoying the violent delights.

The defenders had done everything they could’ve done. From the strategies to the tactical details, their performance was almost perfect.

The space torpedoes they set up mostly hit the targets. It did not take them much trouble to surround or talk the lone starships of the attackers into surrender. Luckily, the main fleets discovered two Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships at the edge of the space zone in time and launched an attack when the enemy was still not steady. The two parties were caught in a fierce battle. The two Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships were unable to move and heavily damaged.

It was a textbook battle of defense.

But it could not change the fact that there were too many starships on the attackers’ side. Even though the claim of “million starships” must be discounted, the warships among them still amounted to three to five hundred thousand. They were also scattered in the entire vast sea of stars. It was impossible for the defenders to lock onto them in time.

Therefore, wherever the sight and firepower of the defenders could not reach, more and more starships of the attackers were included in the “Flying Lightning Super Command Chain”, allowing them to find their allies and their temporary flagships. Battle units were formed one after another and then joined into branch fleets. Many branch fleets had received the call from the Adamantine Super Arsenal Warships, and the “Adamantine Fleets” that the defenders were most scared of were about to take shape.

After half a day of the fierce fight, the battle was still unpredictable. The scales of victory were like an electrocardiogram. There was still no telling to which side it would be inclined to in the end.

At this moment, at a certain point at the periphery of the Seven Seas Space Zone…

This place was highly distant from the planets and the meteoroid belts. There were no usable resources around. It was relatively desolate and quiet.

A space gate that had been sealed for decades, however, was blossoming like a flower and glittering in a fixed rhythm in glamorous brilliance.

Under the navigation of the space gate, an oval wormhole with a clear edge and an intact form was ripped apart on the three-dimensional space, and a rigorous, organized, and magnificent fleet passed through it slowly.

Because of the navigation of the space gate, the teleportation of the fleet was very smooth and secure. Not a single unexpected collision or explosion happened when all the starships got rid of the space ripples that haunted them.

Compared to their allies who were essentially attacking a beach that was full of reefs in a thunderstorm at a dark night, the fleet that had just been teleported was as comfortable as if they were traveling on a yacht and enjoying the sunbath with iced juices.

It was exactly the “Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs”, or “National Protection Army”, in the sequence of the coalition fleet of the four families.

However, the scale and the level of the fleet were much higher than what was reported.

Thousands of super warships that had been highly modified and strengthened were gradually paved in space, forming a round and soft battle formation. At first look, it was like a transparent, gargantuan jellyfish floating in the sea of stars, and the exhaust flames from every starship were exactly the glittering nerves of the jellyfish.

Any fleet command with the slightest knowledge would be palpitating intuitionally when they saw the naturalness and smoothness as the fleet changed the battle formation all the time.

It was too smooth, perfect, and horrifying!

When thousands of iron and cold objects were gathered, they were as soft and agile as a living creature. Every power unit on every starship seemed to be an extension of the commander’s body and soul, changing quickly according to what was on the commander’s mind.

Only a fleet commander who had two lives of battle experiences like Boss Bai and the super-intelligent lives like Xiaoming and Wenwen could’ve made such “miracles”!

Standing on the bridge of “Alloy Virus”, the flagship, Boss Bai appreciated the bleeding sea of stars with a cold smile. The projection system had displayed the holograms of Long Yangjun, Xiaoming, Wenwen, and the Fist King next to him, as well as all the battle parameters and information on the battlefield. Everything was spreading out like a flood that had just broken the dam.

Li Wuji was standing in the shadow not far away and looked at Boss Bai full of expectations. For obvious reasons, the greatest traitor of the four families did not dare to go back to the Li family’s fleet. After much deliberation, he had decided that Boss Bai’s place was the safest shelter.

At this moment, he was only hoping for one thing to happen, which was that Boss Bai could defeat as many nobles as possible so that those people would all be hanged above a septic tank and taste what he had tasted before!

“Destroy the space gate. Do not let anybody notice that we have been teleported through the space gate.”

Boss Bai gave the first order. Then, it was the second order. “Fist King, ask Xiaoming and Wenwen to help your fleet enter full stealth and silence. Do not let anybody detect you!”

It was what the Fist King was best at. Back in the Blue Sky Space Zone, it was thanks to the long-time stealth and silence that he successfully ambushed Li Wuji’s fleet. At this moment, with the assistance of Xiaoming and Wenwen, the job was even easier for him.

Very soon, more than half of the flames of light dimmed and died out in the Coalition Fleet of Pyromaniacs. Even the spiritual waves that marked their previous existence were dispersing. Those starships were like ice melting into water, not leaving any trace at all.

It was not until then that Boss Bai ordered the rest of the starships to release abundant spiritual towers unhurriedly. He also activated the remote communication units on the starships and opened the many interfaces of the “Flying Lightning Super Command Chain”, searching for the allies nearby.

Under Li Yao’s instruction, the defenders intentionally loosened the defense of this area. Many of the attackers’ starships were scattered in a range of a million kilometers nearby.

Hearing Boss Bai’s call, they immediately moved close to the “National Protection Army”.

Boss Bai had been a famous brutal bandit at the peripheral worlds of the Imperium in the first place. Everybody knew that he had gathered a bunch of most ferocious space pirates into the “National Protection Army”, which had remarkable performances in the previous battles and demonstrated a high combat ability.

Naturally, most of the lone starships were willing to follow Boss Bai’s command, because it would increase their odds of survival.

“Warship 11985, reporting to Commander Bai. Our warship has been connected to the tactical system of Alloy Virus. We will follow Commander Bai’s commands!”

“Warship 56237, ‘Sun Chaser’, reporting to Commander Bai!”

“Warship 35223…”

The ignorant shield warships, arsenal warships, cyberwarfare warships, and comprehensive supply ships all approached the “National Protection Army” that was hiding in the dark.

“Very good.”

Boss Bai sneered and gave orders to those starships. “Please fully open the ports of the Spiritual Nexus on your starship so that I can send the latest battlefield data and secret orders to you. I have the highest command from Commander Yun Xuefeng that needs to be conveyed and carried out in time!”

While talking, Boss Bai sent the secret orders that were endorsed by Yun Xuefeng’s soul signature to those starships.

Although the orders were rather obscure and ambiguous, it at least suggested one thing: Boss Bai was Yun Xuefeng’s trusted subordinate, and he was carrying out a top-secret mission that directly came from Yun Xuefeng.

“Now, hurry up and open your Spiritual Nexus and your mainframe crystal processors so that the data can be synchronized. Then, I can tell Commander Yun’s specific commands to you!”

Boss Bai sneered, “You guys are terribly lucky to have been chosen for such a critical mission. Hehe, your future is nothing but promising!”

The starships that approached the “National Protection Army” were mostly the warlords’ troops from the peripheral worlds of the Imperium. They did not have a high combat ability themselves or any influential supporter. How could they dare defy the National Protection Army, which had been Yun Xuefeng’s favorite recently and which boasted a tough combat ability?

Some people were even secretly delighted, really thinking that they had been involved in a fortuitous incident!

Therefore, none of the commanders of those starships suspected anything but opened all the clearances of the battle network to “Alloy Virus”, allowing abundant data to be filled into their mainframe crystal processors.
