As soon as the Martian Colony Governor spoke, the space outside Mars shook violently. A layer of ripples appeared out of thin air. With Mars as the center, the ripples spread out in all directions. They were so fast that they seemed to be able to engulf everything.
The Martian Colony Governor's decisiveness, as well as her burning passion, made the battle on Mars completely different from that on Venus and Mercury. Even the Leisurely Taoist was shocked!
In fact, ever since he had invaded the Federation, he was well aware of the strangeness of the Solar System Array Formation. He had even thought of many ways, but it was difficult to enter Earth without destroying the array core.
That was the reason for the battle on Venus and the current battle on Mars. However, he had never expected that the moment he arrived, the Martian side would make the Solar System Array Formation dissipate its power!
The so-called dissipation of the array formation's power was, to a certain extent, self-destruction. However, compared to the latter, the former was more of triggering the array formation's power and causing it to self-destruct in several waves. Although the power wasn't as great, it wouldn't completely paralyze the array formation. However, in the end … it would still weaken the array formation. If he had enough time, he could even test it a few more times and use human lives to offset the damage. Eventually, he would be able to bypass Mars and force his way through the Solar System Array Formation to enter Earth.
This made the Leisurely Taoist hesitate. If Zi Yue hadn't given the order, it would have been fine. However, when he thought of Zi Yue's order to capture Wang Baole alive, the Leisurely Taoist looked at the Never-Ending Clan puppets again. After a short moment of thought, he gritted his teeth and gave up on the idea of wasting the array formation's power. If he chose to do so, to a certain extent, he would be giving Mars more time.
"Attack with all your might!" An icy glint flashed in Daoist You Ran's eyes. He gave the order, and a large number of Dao Palace battleships behind him charged towards Mars, unleashing all their power. From afar, the battleships looked like arrows that had been released from their bows. They collided with the first wave of energy from the Solar System Array Formation.
Almost instantly, many battleships were destroyed by the self-destructing ripples of the Solar System Array Formation. Even the cultivators inside were annihilated. At the same time, even more battleships trembled as if they had been hit by a huge wave. They suffered varying degrees of damage.
At the same time, the battleships of the Federation and the ritual implements on Mars also launched attacks. They intersected with the power of the matrixes, causing the Holy Zhi Palace to be continuously obstructed.
However, due to the resistance of the Dao Palace battleships, the first wave of the Solar System Array Formation's power was weakened, allowing a large number of Dao Palace battleships to approach Mars. However, a cold glint flashed in the Martian Colony Governor's eyes as the second and third waves of the Solar System Array Formation exploded one after another!
Rumbling sounds continued to ring out from beyond Mars. As balls of light flashed, the Dao Palace battleships continued to crumble. Even those that did not crumble became more and more damaged. When the fourth wave of the Solar System Array Formation swept across, sixty percent of the army led by Leisurely Taoist was destroyed!
Countless cultivators died. Some of them were survivors of the Dao Palace from the previous battle, but most of them were Never-Ending Clan puppets. Furthermore, the battleships suffered heavy losses. Leisurely Taoist's army had shrunk significantly compared to when they had first invaded the Federation.
The results of the battle seemed impressive, but the Federation had also paid a huge price for it. Firstly, the Solar System Array Formation had been weakened by the power of the Solar System Array Formation. It was like the door to the core of the Federation had been shaved off. Its defensive capabilities and resistance had also been reduced.
Secondly, Mars, as the eye of the array formation, had lost the right to make use of the Solar System Array Formation for large-scale teleportation. They could no longer teleport everyone at a critical moment like they had on Venus. Now, Mars could only teleport a small number of people at a time. To a certain extent, they were putting themselves in a difficult position.
As such, it was hard to say whether they had gained more or sacrificed more. However, since they had already chosen to support the Federation, Li Xingwen and Duan Muque did not say anything else. Instead, they watched the battlefield closely.
"Battleships, fall back. Let them in. Prepare the Martian Array Formation. Martian cultivators, stand by and listen to my orders!" The Martian Colony Governor narrowed her eyes and suddenly commanded. Following her command, the Federation battleships outside Mars quickly retreated. They no longer obstructed the Dao Palace battleships, allowing them to break through the line of defense and enter the airspace above Martian City. The moment they entered, the remaining cultivators of the Dao Palace and a large number of Never-Ending Clan puppets dispersed from the battleships. Their target was Martian City!
"Kill all life on this planet and find Wang Baole!" The battleship that Leisurely Taoist was on also appeared in the skies above Martian City amidst a loud rumble. This battleship was too majestic. Its appearance seemed to replace the heavens, causing the earth to turn pitch-black.
Within Martian City, all the cultivators were shaken to their core. Zhao Yameng, Kongdao, and the others were among them. As they looked at the gigantic battleship that blotted out the sky, their eyes revealed a frenzied determination to fight to the death.
Compared to the hesitation of the remaining cultivators of the Dao Palace, the mindless Never-Ending Clan puppets were able to execute Leisurely Taoist's orders perfectly. At that moment, their murderous auras spread out as they rushed towards Martian City.
From afar, the Dao Palace cultivators and Never-Ending Clan puppets looked like raindrops descending from the sky. They were about to land, but at that moment …
"Activate the Martian Array Formation for the first time!" The Martian Colony Governor made a series of hand seals. Immediately, the great array formation of Martian City trembled, forming a suppressive force that swept out in all directions, sweeping across all the incoming enemies.
It didn't have much destructive power, but it had a certain impact on one's Spiritual Spirit. Most of the Dao Palace cultivators' minds shook, and the Spiritual Spirits that controlled the puppets were also affected by the impact.
"Begin the battle!" Almost at the same time that the array formation released its power, the Martian Colony Governor's declaration of war reverberated in all directions. Immediately, a large number of Federation cultivators rushed out, roaring. The Federation battleships in the sky assisted them. Taking advantage of the time that the Dao Palace cultivators and the puppets paused, the battle … broke out!
In an instant, the casualties on both sides reached an alarming level. Blood rained down from the sky. Severed limbs, blood-curdling screams, the booming sounds of self-destruction, the explosions of Anti-Spirit Bombs, and the fearlessness of the Never-Ending Clan puppets played out continuously on the surface of Martian City.
The ground battle did cause Leisurely Taoist's army to lose their advantage in the sky to a certain extent. The suppressive force of the Martian Array Formation could also create support for the Federation cultivators in the battle. However, there was still a difference in strength between the two parties. When Annihilator and the other two Soul Conduit realm cultivators chose to attack, and when Leisurely Taoist used the battleship to search for Wang Baole, he spared a portion of his energy to control the battleship to release countless runes that condensed into a beam of light that blasted towards Martian City. Even with the array formation's resistance, it was still useless!
More than half of Martian City dissipated in an instant. Black flames continued to spread in all directions, refining the cultivators and Martian City at the same time. However, Martian City wasn't without the ability to retaliate. Whether it was the cultivators who swore to their deaths or the preparations of the top spirit scientist, Zhao Pinfang, both caused Martian City to erupt with astonishing resistance at this moment.
First of all, seventeen Stellar Source Spirit Cannons, which were powered by Martian stellar sources, rose from the surface of Martian City and were released in unison. Amidst the rumbling of the heavens and earth, they formed a rapid fire that shocked even the Leisurely Taoist.
Then came the Anti-Spirit Bombs that the Dao Palace was familiar with. Among them, the Anti-Spirit Bombs were comparable to Yuanying when they exploded. The purpose of the Anti-Spirit Bombs here wasn't to kill, but to … disrupt space and seal the void, causing the Yuanying cultivators to lose their ability to teleport!
The Federation had too few Yuanying cultivators. If both sides lost their ability to teleport, the Federation would have the upper hand!
And the few Anti-Spirit Bombs that were comparable to Soul Conduit realm cultivators were even more intimidating at this moment. Other than that, Zhao Pinfang had also prepared a last resort for Martian City!
That was … an artificial celestial body that was similar to a Dyson sphere!
Countless Dharma artifacts rose into the sky in the next instant and enveloped Martian City, forming a huge Dyson sphere. However, its purpose wasn't to absorb the energy of the star, but … to absorb the waves and spiritual energy of the battle on Martian City. At the same time, it was counterattacking … to isolate Martian City!
Isolating Martian City would cut off the Martian spiritual energy and prevent it from being replenished!
In this battle, it could be said that the Federation had used almost all of its trump cards and carried out the greatest counterattack. Although they were still no match for the Federation, they had managed to delay the pace of the battle. In particular, the isolation of spiritual energy allowed firearms to be used to a certain extent, increasing the impact on the Dao Palace!
But after all, this was a universe occupied by the Cultivation Civilization. The drawbacks brought about by the lack of individual combat power were completely exposed at this moment. As the Leisurely Taoist gave up on searching for Wang Baole with a gloomy expression and chose to attack, the Dyson sphere in the starry sky immediately collapsed.
"I don't believe that Wang Baole will be able to escape after I destroy this planet!" The Leisurely Taoist's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Just as he was about to attack with all his might and destroy Martian City, Wang Baole's consciousness raised its head abruptly in the Dark Artifact under the new Martian City. His expression was extremely gloomy.
The repair of the Dark Artifact hadn't been completed yet, but in front of his consciousness, the ninth-grade bow had been repaired and the two Star Fang Beasts' corpses had been successfully refined. Although they weren't at the Spirit Immortal realm when they were alive, they still had the power of a Soul Conduit realm cultivator.
"I can only fight to buy time for the repair!" Wang Baole's consciousness narrowed his eyes. The moment the dark light erupted, he grabbed with his right hand and the longbow flew over. The two Star Fang Beasts opened their eyes and roared. Together with Wang Baole, they directly penetrated the Dark Artifact and rushed out of the ground!
