The power of a warship was quite effective when it came to sieging a city. However, if it was used in a battle like this, it was barely satisfactory. After all, the warship's attacks were all controlled by Constellation Realm cultivators, and the long time it took to accumulate power and recharge was a drawback that couldn't be erased. Thus, even with the might of a warship, the insectoids would probably arrive before they could even launch a few attacks.
In a battle like this, the cultivators still had to rely on themselves.
However, before the insectoid swarm approached, the warship still tried its best to eliminate the insectoids.
Lu Ye frowned slightly because something seemed to be amiss. Given the current situation, the insectoids should have gathered all their forces in one place. Breaking through the encirclement of the warships from the four galaxies was the right way to go. As long as they could create a gap in the encirclement of the warships from the four galaxies, they would be able to seize the initiative whether they continued to fight or flee.
However, in reality, the insectoids that had rushed out of the hive were scattered in all directions like celestial maidens scattering flowers.
As a result, the insectoids couldn't concentrate their forces. Thus, the warships in each direction didn't face much pressure.
The insectoids would definitely suffer a large number of casualties.
Lu Ye couldn't understand why the insectoids were doing this! One had to realize that the insectoids born from this kind of hive weren't the same as the ones he had encountered in the Nine States. Many of them were extremely intelligent, and with the hive as the center, all the insectoids could be easily commanded and obeyed orders.
On the warship Lu Ye was on, a large swarm of insectoids also rushed over. Although many had been killed along the way, there was still a relatively large number of insectoids remaining.
The distance between the two sides rapidly closed. At a certain moment, the cultivators, who had long since been prepared, charged out of the warship under the leadership of the Yue Yao and charged toward the insectoid swarm.
Luan Xiaoe flew at the forefront, and the Yue Yao from the four galaxies were beside her. They spread out their divine senses, and soon found other insectoids in the insectoid swarm. They locked onto their targets and quickly charged toward them.
Although this battle seemed chaotic, there was actually a corresponding order to it. Simply put, it was soldier against soldier, general against general!
The Yue Yao would try their best to find other Yue Yao opponents. Regardless of whether they could defeat them or not, they had to at least pin them down.
Relatively speaking, the cultivators were much fewer in number than the insectoids, at least a hundred times more. However, the insectoids were far inferior in terms of quality. After all, the cultivators were at least Constellation cultivators, but the insectoids weren't. Thus, in theory, this kind of battle didn't pose too much pressure for the cultivators.
Lu Ye moved forward alone. Not far to his left were the members of Team D9. They had been working together since they were at the True Lake Stage. Throughout their entire time at the Spirit Sea Stage, they had spent most of their time killing corpses on the Peerless Continent. After so many years of working together, they had a tacit understanding of each other.
The one at the front was the tall and mighty Giant Armor. His vitality was so strong that it did not seem like a constellation. Lin Yin Xiu and Yi Yi, who was riding on Hu Po, were behind him.
Further behind them were Third Senior Brother Xiao Xinghe and Fourth Senior Brother Li Baxian. As for Feng Yuechan, she was surrounded in the center.
The few of them noticed Lu Ye's gaze and turned to look at him. Li Baxian grinned and said, "Little junior brother, let us show you what senior brothers are capable of!"
Lu Ye nodded. "Then I'll have to take a good look." Speaking of which, he hadn't seen the Yue Yao fight for a long time. He didn't know how strong they were now.
Looking to the right, it was the Master, Nian Yue Xian. Eldest Senior Brother Feng Wujiang and his wife.
These two were not the only Nine States cultivators. The three hundred Constellation cultivators scattered into small teams almost at the same time as they rushed out of their respective warships. There were at least four to five people, and at most six to seven people.
This scene not only surprised the cultivators from the Green Dawn Dao World and Jade Conch World, but also the cultivators from the Four Galaxies. Although the Nine States cultivators were all in the early Constellation Realm, each team moved in a strict manner. There was a strange pattern to it.
On the other hand, although they would also form teams, they seemed to lack a strange sense of closeness.
The Yue Yao cultivators at the front had already begun to fight with the insectoids. Intense waves of magic power erupted from the battlefields.
After a while, the Constellation Realm cultivators also began to attack. The power of many spells swept towards the insectoid swarm from all directions. Although they caused some damage, they couldn't stop the insectoid swarm from advancing.
Resisting the attacks of many spells, the insectoid swarm came closer.
The battle had completely erupted.
All over the battlefield, strange phenomena suddenly appeared out of thin air. Those were the strange phenomena formed by battle formations. The most numerous one was the Black Tortoise Battle Formation. Many huge Black Tortoises formed by spiritual energy appeared on the battlefield with their heads held high and chests puffed out, causing both sides to be stunned.
The Constellation Realm cultivators naturally didn't know what was going on, but the Green Dawn Dao World and Jade Conch World cultivators saw it clearly. Those battle formations were formed by the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Realm.
They were shocked. Were the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Realm so close to each other?
It was difficult to form a battle formation in such a battle. It required years of familiarity with each other to form a tacit understanding. Their auras had to be connected and flow as one.
The Constellation Realm cultivators all had their own things to do. It was impossible for them to stay together and practice battle formations unless some sects had special requirements.
There were also cultivators from the Green Dawn Dao World and Jade Conch World who could form battle formations. However, those cultivators were all their closest brothers and sisters, and even their family members.
However, the Nine Heavens Realm cultivators didn't fall behind. They formed teams of several people and formed different battle formations with ease. There was no sign of unfamiliarity in their cooperation.
The Nine States cultivators also knew that they were weaker, so they chose battle formations that were mainly defensive. This was why there were so many Black Tortoises on the battlefield. Even if the strange phenomena from the other battle formations weren't Black Tortoises, most of them were good at defense.
Under the impact of the battle formations, a large number of insectoids were killed.
Lu Ye's figure was constantly moving, and he had already sent out a series of Imperial Artifacts in all directions, using them as support for his Leaping Technique.
Using his divine thoughts, he found that the insectoids he found were all at the late stage of the Constellation Realm. As the Pan Shan Saber flashed, even the insectoids' hard shells couldn't withstand a sharp blow.
If it was the Pan Shan Saber in the past, it wouldn't have such an effect even if it was blessed with the Divine Blade Spiritual Inscriptions. However, the Pan Shan Saber that Fang transformed into had extremely high sharpness. Together with the Divine Blade, no one in the Constellation Realm could block it.
He wasn't worried about the cultivators on his side suffering casualties in such a battle. There were always casualties in a battle. Even if it wasn't here, it would be in the Myriad Phenomenon Sea or somewhere else. However, compared to the possible casualties, the benefits that participating in such a battle would bring to the cultivators on his side were hard to come by.
On the battlefield, veterans grew up step by step from new recruits. Participating in such a battle was enough to train the cultivators on his side into qualified veterans. In the future, if they were to encounter similar battles, they would have more experience in handling and dealing with them.
Moreover, in this battle, the possibility of casualties was not high.
Soon, the cultivators from the Qingli Daoist World and the Yuconch World found another problem. Compared to the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Realm who could all form a battle formation, their fighting style was more surprising. For a long time, because the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Realm were at the early stage of the Constellation Realm, the cultivators from the Qingli Daoist World and the Yuconch World felt that they were superior to them.
However, looking at it now, the fighting style of the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Realm was extremely fierce and sharp. Even when facing the insectoids who were stronger than them, they didn't fear them and fought fiercely.
This strange scene made it seem as if they were at the early stage of the Constellation Realm, while the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Realm were at the late stage of the Constellation Realm.
The cultivators from the two worlds were a little confused. They couldn't understand what the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Realm had experienced in their growth. How could they fight so fiercely? It seemed that no one was afraid of death.
The insectoids were ferocious enough, but compared to the cultivators from the Nine Heavens Realm, they were like cats meeting tigers. They were suppressed in momentum. Even if they were slightly stronger, it was easy to be at a disadvantage in the battle.
Lu Ye was still leaping. With the help of the many imperial weapons he had used in advance, the leaping technique greatly reduced the consumption of his body. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to leaping for such a long time in such a battle.
His figure suddenly moved to a corner of the battlefield. The timing of his appearance was very clever. There was an insectoid at the late stage of the Constellation Realm who had his back to him. Lu Ye raised his sword and cut off the insectoid's head.
"Little Junior Brother, you've gone too far!" Li Baxian shouted in dissatisfaction. They were fighting fiercely with the insectoid, but they didn't expect that their Little Junior Brother would steal the kill.
Lu Ye glanced at their battle formation and was slightly surprised.
Because looking at the battlefield, there were many cultivators from the Nine Provinces in the Black Tortoise Battle Formation. There were at least thirty to forty Black Tortoise apparitions. However, Team D9's Black Tortoise was clearly different.
The other Black Tortoise apparitions were only apparitions, but Team D9's Black Tortoise was clearly much more solid. Moreover, some strange patterns appeared on its back.
Those strange patterns flickered as if they were breathing. Lu Ye even felt that these strange patterns had some strange and close connection with the giant armor in the battle formation.
He understood that the abnormality of Team D9's battle formation definitely came from the giant armor. Because he remembered, the yao core that the giant armor had swallowed seemed to be related to the Black Tortoise.
It was precisely because Team D9's Black Tortoise Battle Formation was stronger that they could fight against a late stage Constellation Realm insectoid as early stage Constellation Realm cultivators. The other battle formations didn't have this ability. At most, they could fight against a mid stage Constellation Realm insectoid.
Ignoring Li Baxian's shouts, Lu Ye flashed away.
Li Baxian was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only look for more opponents.
Although the battle wasn't completely one-sided, the cultivator alliance clearly had the absolute upper hand. If they continued fighting like this, it wouldn't be long before all the insectoids that came out of the hive were killed.
