The No. 17 spaceport had been reduced to rubble under the bombardment. All the airtight gates and the connection rune arrays had turned into melted iron slag. The air from the inside of the tenth space ring was leaking out of the damaged areas, raising tornadoes and raising debris everywhere. ∈ XXX.
The Grand Illusionary Soldiers swarmed in from all directions like overwhelming locusts. Xiao Xuance seemed to have discovered the movement of the experts through the Grand Illusionary Soldiers. He summoned his forces without bothering about anything, trying to drown them with the 'iron ocean strategy'. At the very least, their spiritual energy and Crystal Suit would be greatly consumed.
"Where is the crystal warship of the Glorious Sunlight Group now?"
Si Koulie asked, breathing heavily.
As a refiner, he was not good at fighting. He had reached his limits after persisting in the iron storm for such a long time.
"The crystal warship has broken through the ninth space ring successfully and is about to arrive. However, we cannot dock here. Let's fly out of the spaceport and board the warship!"
Li Yao and the rest of the Cultivators flew out of the spaceport while they fought.
The situation in space, on the other hand, was even more chaotic than in the tenth space ring. Grand Illusionary Soldiers were everywhere like red-headed flies. Crystal warships were colliding and exploding everywhere. Light balls were rising and falling like fireworks and did not show any sign of dying down after an hour.
"We have suffered heavy casualties. There's no time to find a second warship!"
Si Koulie scanned the status of all the Cultivators in the tactical system and said worriedly, "The crystal warship of the Glorious Sunlight Group is our only hope. Can it carry us through the ninth space ring and reach Heavenly Phantom?
"Heavenly Phantom is a super warship built by the Star Fighters' Alliance and the Grand Illusionary Group together. At that time, we didn't know that Xiao Xuance was an Immortal Cultivator, and we planned to use Heavenly Phantom as the flagship of the coalition army in the last battle. Therefore, we adopted the most powerful techniques to build it. The main guns and the defense rune arrays on it are not even used on the main-force warships of the Star Fighters' Alliance!
"Common starships are likely to be blown up in front of Heavenly Phantom in one shot!"
"Rest assured!"
Li Yao licked his lips. "This crystal warship is the secret weapon of the Glorious Sunlight Group. Its firepower may not be as good as Heavenly Phantom's. But it is definitely the fastest, stealthiest, and most distinguished starship in the Flying Star Sector. It's here! "
"Where?"
All the cultivators were overjoyed. Thousands of crystal cameras scanned in all directions.
However, as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but debris of starships on the burning battlefield. Not a single super starship could be seen at all.
Right then, a ragged starship crawled out of the debris.
It was a transport ship less than two kilometers long. It was as round as a fat buffalo. The anti-collision plate armor on the surface was mottled, dented, and riddled with rust. On the shell of the starship, heat insulation and defense patches were simply jumbled up randomly. It was like a ship that had been fished out of a shipyard and was given a few tweaks. A twelve-hand antique that didn't even bother to reapply the anti-rust paint.
"…"
All the Cultivators fell silent.
Their suspicious eyes pierced through the Crystal Suit and the sea of stars and focused on Li Yao without any disguise.
Si Koulie was dumbfounded, too. He was unable to utter a word for a long time and could only gasp hard.
Thousands of Grand Illusionary Soldiers. They condensed into dozens of tornadoes, attacking them and the dying transport ship.
All the Cultivators thought that the carrier was doomed because they did not see any turrets on the surface of the carrier at all. They did not even see a spiritual shield that was vaguely glowing.
If a large number of Grand Illusionary Soldiers invaded the starship, the carrier would be doomed for sure!
However, when hundreds of Grand Illusionary Soldiers approached the hundred meters around the carrier, they came to a weird standstill in the middle of sparks. Then, cracking noises echoed, and their limbs and crystallized spines were twisted into pieces.
In a moment, hundreds of Grand Illusionary Soldiers were completely destroyed!
"This is the latest defense rune array of magnetic energy. It equals to a very powerful controllable magnetic field outside of the starship. As long as there is enough spiritual energy, all the metals around can be controlled!"
Li Yao explained to the dumbfounded Cultivators.
Si Koulie was the first to realize what was going on. He flew toward Sparkle without any hesitation and said, "We don't have a choice. Let's go!"
The gates of the five hangars on the right side of Sparkle were opened. More than a hundred Cultivators boarded at the same time, followed by more Grand Illusionary Soldiers. But when they entered the defense range of Sparkle, they were all minced into pieces by the special magnetic field!
Sparkle turned around and dashed toward the central area of Heavenly Saints City!
"Welcome to Sparkle, fellow Cultivators."
Hiding inside an artificial body, Professor Mo Xuan greeted the hundred Cultivators gracefully. "Sparkle boasts powerful medical and recovery magical equipment. Please take the time to rest and reserve your spiritual energy for the fierce battle to come."
The interior of Sparkle was entirely different from the ragged exterior.
The whole starship had the texture of silver liquid metal. There were no gaps between the cabin doors. There was not the slightest sign of welding or riveting, either. The starship seemed to have been made of pure silver.
Using the word "seamless" to describe it would be appropriate.
Even the Yuanying experts of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City, who had seen a lot of things, were shocked by the internal structure of Sparkle and lost for words for a long time after they boarded it.
Si Koulie, as a specialist of starships, was even more excited. He touched every corner of Sparkle with glittering eyes, as if he could not wait to melt into it!
Si Koulie was the best starship specialist of the Flying Star Sector. Although Professor Mo Xuan and the rest of them had become unique 'star spirits' by chance, they had been studying the Crystal Suit in the beginning and were not as good as Si Koulie in the art of starships.
However, the life form of Professor Mo Xuan and the other four star spirits was a combination of the soul of a human being and the mustard-level liquid metal on the starship.
It was safe to say that they were part of Sparkle, and Sparkle was their 'body'!
The improvements that they had made to their 'bodies' were naturally beyond Si Koulie's imagination.
"I didn't know that the starship refining skills of the Glorious Sunlight Group were so advanced. Even the Star Fighters' Alliance might not be able to produce such a magnificent starship!"
Si Koulie complimented sincerely.
Professor Mo Xuan smiled and waved his hands. The silver walls around immediately rippled like the ripples in a pond and soon became almost transparent.
The entire sea of stars was displayed in front of them.
In front of them, a few other holographic light beams were projecting the form of Sparkle and the situation of the dozens of battlefields nearby from a different perspective.
At this moment, Sparkle had left the tenth space ring and was flying toward the central area of Heavenly Saints City.
But their troubles were not over yet, because many Grand Illusionary Soldiers had captured the scene where the experts entered Sparkle.
A lot of Grand Illusionary Soldiers and the starships controlled by the Immortal Cultivators were flying toward Sparkle, trying to block it on its way.
Faced with all that, Professor Mo Xuan did not intend to fight blindly. Instead, he piloted Sparkle and flew into an iron graveyard made of the debris of more than ten starships.
Si Koulie was dazed for a moment. As an expert in the production of crystal warships, he knew a thing or two about the battles of starships, too.
When a starship entered the area of debris, although it could avoid the search of the enemy, it could be trapped by the debris and completely lose its mobility. It was a very passive tactic.
However, what happened next was even more unbelievable for him, an expert who had spent his entire life refining crystal warships!
When Sparkle flew into the debris, it was still a fat carrier.
However, after the ragged plate armor on the debris exploded, it suddenly turned into a slim, long warship.
Si Koulie recognized it immediately. It was a 'Red Shark' -level warship that the Star Fighters' Alliance had designed more than a hundred and thirty years ago. Because of its simple structure and reliable performance, more than five hundred such warships had been produced. They were very popular among the small and medium-sized sects and were still the first choice for some of them to this day.
The Red Shark Assault Starship was also rusted and riddled with holes. Huge fireballs were popping up in many places, as if a large batch of Grand Illusionary Soldiers were rampaging inside the starship and about to go out of control.
Si Koulie blinked and realized that it was a very smart disguise.
The Grand Illusionary Soldiers were searching for a ragged carrier, not a Red Shark warship.
Besides, the warship was shaking and seemed to be falling apart at any moment. It was unlikely that it would attract the attention of many Grand Illusionary Soldiers!
With such a disguise, Sparkle leaped over the smaller warships of the Ninth Space Ring and the Eighth Space Ring easily. Their firepower was rather mediocre and did not pose much of a threat to Heavenly Phantom. In the attack sequence of the Immortal Cultivators, they ranked very low.
Of course, after carefully analyzing the data of the battlefield, Xiao Xuance eventually cast his suspicious eyes on the weird warship.
Right then, Professor Mo Xuan played the same trick again. Sparkle snuck into a heated battlefield again, took off its' shell ', and pretended to be a' Alkaid '-level warship that was smaller in size!
"The exterior of Sparkle has been camouflaged by mechanical structures and mystic ray camouflage. According to the situation of the battle, it can pretend to be a crystal warship of fourteen different models. Also, it can pretend to be 'slightly wounded, heavily wounded, out of power, or completely wasted' in order to attract the enemy!"
Professor Mo Xuan said proudly.
After that, they changed into six different camouflages, from a warship to a maintainer, from a maintainer to a medical ship, and in the end, even into a debris that had completely lost power. Finally, they dashed into the central area of Heavenly Saints City undamaged in the storm of bullets!
