The war in the deep sea of stars was not like the great naval battles in the medieval times, where thousands of cannons were roaring, smoke was rising, and flames were soaring into the sky. @,
The two sides of the battle were like two hunters lurking in a dark corner in a dark abyss where one couldn't even see their own fingers.
They held their breath, retracted their pores, and tiptoed, not making the slightest sound. They cherished every drop of their strength as if they cherished their own lives. They had to consider every opportunity of attack carefully, and they would not attack with their full strength if they were not certain that they could kill the enemy.
Because the sea of stars was too vast, the battlefield could easily be thousands of kilometers in diameter. If the two parties were only hundreds of kilometers away from each other, it would be like a head-on battle.
In such an enormous battlefield, any attack launched directly from a crystal warship would consume a lot of damage due to the long distance. Also, the enemy would be able to calculate the trajectory of the attack easily.
With the significant development of the spiritual shield technology and the magnetic field interference technology, the crystal warships were more and more defense-oriented than offense-oriented, and the shield was stronger than the spear.
If the barrage of the enemy's main guns was a pure attack of spiritual energy, it could be easily neutralized with the spiritual shield. If it was a physical attack such as a meteorite, it could also be interfered with the trajectory of the attack by twisting the magnetic field, making the attack pass by the side of the crystal warship dangerously.
In such a battlefield, the attack launched by the attacker at the cost of ten units of resources would be easily resolved by the defender at the cost of one unit of resources.
If the scale of the crystal warships of the two parties was similar, the number of resources they carried would not be too different, either. Initiating an attack would only be a waste of resources in vain. It would be suicidal.
The enemy could totally wait for the enemy to exhaust themselves. They could activate the spiritual shield and the magnetic field interference system and wait for the attacker to run out of spiritual energy, ammunition, and all the resources. Then, they would launch a fatal counterattack.
The crystal warships in the sea of stars were like herbivores whose shells were extremely thick but whose teeth and claws were relatively blunt and clumsy.
Only one thing could break the solid defense of the 'herbivores'.
The Crystal Suit.
Compared to the crystal warships, the Crystal Suit was much smaller in size and much more agile. The resources consumed were much less.
Using a large number of Crystal Suit to invade the enemy's defensive perimeter, for the attacking side, the situation suddenly turned 180 degrees.
It was true that anti-air cannons could be deployed on the crystal warships of the defenders, but to deal with the Crystal Suit with anti-air cannons was like shooting a mosquito with a crystal railgun. It often took almost forty units of resources to hit a Crystal Suit that had consumed one unit of resources.
Even if the owner of this Crystal Suit lost his ability to fight, as long as he didn't die on the spot. He dragged it back to his mothership and used the Medical Cabin to treat it. He used the Maintenance Workshop to repair the Crystal Suit. In less than ten hours, it would be ready for battle again.
In such a situation, there were only two options for defense.
Or, the large number of Crystal Suit from the attackers would tear through the defensive circle again and again and sneak inside. Destroy the defense system.
When the layers of carapace were pried open, and his movements were restricted. Only then would the main guns on the enemy's crystal warships reveal their most hideous fangs and launch a fatal attack.
Or, they would devote a lot of resources to the anti-air cannons and wrestle with the enemy's Crystal Suit until they ran out of resources. They would also be at the mercy of the enemy.
In the boundless sea of stars, a crystal warship meeting a Crystal Suit would have such an unresolvable outcome.
Unless the crystal warships of the defenders carried a large number of Crystal Suits, too.
Crystal Suit versus Crystal Suit. This was the key to the outcome of a space war.
The Crystal Suit was the real king of universal wars!
The seemingly magnificent crystal warships with cannons were nothing more than the supply centers for the Crystal Suit, the bases for the Exos to train and rest, and the vehicles that could carry a large number of Crystal Suit for long journeys and space jumps.
This was a world where the Crystal Suit was everything.
This was a world where the experts could roar in the stars and roam the universe with their powerful Crystal Suit!
Fengyu Zhong stood in the bridge of 'Blood Rain', his flagship. The transparent bridge on three sides made him feel that he was in the middle of a bloodstained river of stars.
The other four crystal warships of Storm Prison and the three crystal warships of the enemy were at least a thousand kilometers away from each other. They were all surrounded by bright spiritual shields that looked like solid armor. Their main guns were silent, as if they were a bunch of silent onlookers.
In the middle of the 'onlookers', with the sea of stars as the battlefield, thousands of Crystal Suit were engaged in a brutal battle.
Through the special crystal cameras with a super high resolution, the picture at the center of the battlefield was enlarged and displayed on the light beam. Flowers of light blossomed without a sound. When they blossomed, countless Exos would be torn apart and blown away like dust.
Although the light beam was silent, Fengyu Zhong seemed to be able to hear desperate screams, crazy roars, and the collisions of blades and fists.
The sounds made him excited. His face was flushed, and he was breathing heavily.
Although he had appreciated the black tide of death sweeping across the sea of stars countless times, Fengyu Zhong still felt that he had returned to the moment when he stabbed a rusty knife into someone else's heart for the first time when he was eleven. The ecstasy that constricted his pores and filled his cells did not last for a long time.
This was the seventh large-scale collision between the two parties in the past three days.
The Cultivators finally couldn't hold on any longer and seemed to be losing ground. Before they defeated all the Exos of Storm Prison, some of the Cultivators had already retreated to the defense circle of the starships.
Including Gold Horn, the three crystal warships of the Cultivators bombarded the starships crazily and temporarily stabilized the situation.
However, in the eyes of an experienced hunter such as Fengyu Zhong, such an action was a waste of resources when there was nothing they could do about it.
If the tug-of-war continued for a few more times, the tremendous resources of the enemy would be exhausted, and there would be few Crystal Suit left.
By then, the general attack would be launched and the three starships would be swallowed from their skin to their bones. Not a single bone would be left.
"Finally."
Fengyu Zhong took a deep breath. His expanding ambition made every pore on his body open, giving him unparalleled pleasure.
The destruction of the Great Horn Exo Society would be the perfect end to the first battle of the Temple of Immortals' rise from darkness.
Although the Great Horn Exo Society was insignificant in itself and could not have been more insignificant... The symbolic significance of annihilating them could not be ignored.
Half a month ago, the crystal warships of dozens of sects, several Yuanying experts, and dozens of Core Formation Stage Cultivators had surrounded the Great Horn Exo Society, partly to ambush Storm Prison, and partly to protect the Great Horn Exo Society. Partly to prevent the Great Horn Exo Society, which had just put on a legendary expedition, from collapsing in the blink of an eye.
But right now, the Temple of Immortals' secret forces had been mobilizing, distracting, and luring the tiger away from the mountain. Many Cultivation sects were on fire and had to return to reinforce the Great Horn Exo Society.
If at this moment... The Great Horn Exo Society was destroyed, the entire world of Cultivators would be disgraced. More Cultivators would have uncontrollable suspicions, too.
"Even three Yuanying experts and dozens of Core Formation Stage Cultivators failed to protect the Great Horn Exo Society. Is the world of Cultivators really as strong as we thought?"
It was the result that the Temple of Immortals wanted.
On the other hand... Fengyu Zhong needed to establish his authority on Spider Den, too.
Not all the space pirates on Spider Den were Immortal Cultivators.
Among the space pirates... All kinds of people. Most of them were mobsters.
The Temple of Immortals had been lurking in darkness for a thousand years. They knew the importance of secrecy very well. If everybody on Spider Den learned about it, the space pirates might be captured by the Cultivators during the battle and interrogated. The secret would certainly be revealed to the public.
Right now, the Temple of Immortals was not ready to be exposed to the public yet.
Therefore, the Temple of Immortals was more prudent when recruiting Immortal Cultivators on Spider Den than when they were converting Cultivators.
Only 1% of them were truly ruthless and experienced. The space pirates who hated the Cultivators' guts would only be recruited by the Temple of Immortals after a long period of observation in secret.
Most of the space pirates, including most of the middle-level space pirates in Storm Prison, did not know the existence of the Temple of Immortals.
For a long time to come, Spider Den would still be a force that resisted the Cultivators on the surface.
Fengyu Zhong had gathered so many space pirates to attack the Great Horn Exo Society under the pretext of avenging his only son.
If he went back in disgrace without accomplishing his mission, it would be a heavy blow to his prestige. It would not be conducive to his recruitment and expansion on Spider Den.
Therefore, the Great Horn Exo Society had to be destroyed!
Right then, a slender young man with a pale face walked to him quickly and said to Fengyu Zhong in a low voice, "Behemoth-19 is here!"
This baby-faced but ruthless young man was his advisor and also a member of the Temple of Immortals.
Fengyu Zhong was refreshed.
After three days of fierce battles, many Crystal Suit members of Storm Prison had been seriously damaged. Right now, Behemoth-19, carrying a master of refining and an expert assassin, had arrived as reinforcements. It would be a great help for them to finish off the opponents quickly.
But the advisor said with a weird expression, "However, something seems to have happened to Behemoth-19. Their telepathic thoughts transmission room has been destroyed. They can only communicate with us through flag signals. According to them, they have suffered serious internal damage. Several important people, including Huangpu Shiyi, have been heavily wounded. They hope to be connected to Blood Rain for maintenance and treatment as soon as possible."
"Accident? Huangpu Shiyi has been heavily wounded. What happened?" Fengyu Zhong narrowed his eyes immediately. His nose twitched, like an old dog that had smelled something weird.
"Flag signals are only a temporary solution. They cannot convey detailed information. All in all, they hope to be connected to us first and then talk to us later," the advisor said.
Fengyu Zhong stared at the battlefield, deep in thought. A moment later, he said, "Tell them that Red Lightning has just been upgraded with the latest medical cabins and maintenance facilities. Ask them to connect to Red Lightning! At the same time, prepare all main cannons and lock onto Hippo 19. If Hippo 19 still doesn't change course within three minutes and is still heading towards us, pretend to accept its docking request and let it come over. At the best attack range, blow it up! "
Red Lightning was the crystal warship furthest away from Blood Rain, the flagship, on the battlefield.
The advisor was shocked. He stammered, "General Feng, but Huangpu Shiyi is still on Behemoth-19!"
