Year 379 of the Great Xuan Calendar, November 20th.
Numerous flying ships flew out of Heaven City. For this battle, Heaven City had mobilized a hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, all of whom were the most elite armored soldiers. This army would be led by General Luan Bing.
Head Hong Yuanqiu was in charge of the rear, in charge of coordination and coordination.
Although Heaven City only had 50,000 soldiers left, with Xuan Zun in charge and the protection of a large formation, it was still very stable. Only the Earth Star was slightly empty.
However, considering that Shangchen would not give up this battle so easily, they would definitely concentrate their forces on defense, so Kui Su was actually more stable than usual.
This time, under the main army, there were also garrisons, conscriptions, and mercenaries from various places. In total, there were more than 500,000 soldiers.
These troops would attack the Earth Stars from all directions, occupying or destroying these places, creating an opportunity for the main army to attack the center of the formation.
In addition, the Military Affairs Department had also recruited a large number of cultivators from Kui Su and the surrounding Earth Stars. Among them, there were more than a thousand middle-level cultivators, and tens of thousands of lower-level cultivators. Most of them were Xuanxiu.
Zhang Yu was currently standing in a very ordinary looking flying ship. This was because his white ship was too conspicuous, and anyone who was observant would know that it was his ship, so he used this as a cover.
This time, he was not in charge of military strategy, so he did not know how the entire army was arranged.
However, the military operation this time was relatively simple, because the target was there, and there was no need to hide. The distance seemed far, but it was only a dozen or so days of travel.
They weren't facing an army, but a loose force formed by a group of cultivators. Perhaps these people had an advantage in small scale battles, but once they set up a grand formation, then their advantage would be greatly reduced.
Because it was not yet time for cultivators to show up, he did not pay too much attention to the outside world. Instead, he was thinking about the Three Treasures Harvesting Technique that Hong Yuanqiu had mentioned to him.
He had seen this thing in the jade scroll that Xuanting had given him before. However, it was used as a negative example. It was said to be an inferior method because this method was completely integrating borrowed power into one's own body. Even if one could succeed, one could forget about having any great divine abilities.
Although the "Human Treasure" was said to rely on spiritual essence, it was actually the same as refining blood essence. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was an evil technique.
However, no matter how vicious this method was, if a cultivator succeeded in using it, it would be Xuan Zun. Thus, he had to find a way to stop it.
At this moment, on the other end of the fleet, Liang Yi looked at the densely packed and seemingly endless flying ships outside. He was filled with endless emotions. There were so many flying ships and so many armored soldiers. Before a cultivator reached a certain level, their individual strength was insignificant in such an army.
He sighed, "In the future of Tianxia, creation will be the mainstream."
"I don't agree with Liang Daoyou!"
Liang Yi looked back and saw a young Daoist with bright eyes standing there. He said, "So it's Daoist Wu."
Daoist Wu walked up and said, "These things can only be used to show off in front of us. If one reaches a higher level, they can be wiped away with a wave of the hand. How can they be compared to the Dao?"
Liang Yi did not argue with him. Instead, he looked forward and said, "Daoist Wu, do you know that I originally wanted to discuss the Dao with you? Unfortunately, I was recruited by the Military Department this time, so I missed it."
Daoist Wu said, "It's quite a pity. Let's discuss it after the battle."
Liang Yi said, "Actually, if Daoist Wu doesn't object, we can discuss the Dao right now."
Daoist Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "Liang Daoyou, I know that you've been going around saying that the Observer is beneficial to our Xuanxiu. However, the Dao of cultivation lies in oneself. Fiddling with these external objects is losing one's foundation."
Liang Yi said, "What is the foundation? It's just the Dao Heart. If the Dao Heart does not change, how can it lose one's foundation? If you keep resisting, it's just fear. It seems that you can't keep your Dao Heart. "
Daoist Wu was not angry. He said, "Dao Heart? Haha, interesting. Well, Liang Daoyou, after this battle, I can agree to discuss the Dao of Cultivation with you. However, the condition … "He said with a slight teasing tone," If you lose, I'll use this external object. "
Liang Yi looked at him and said in a low voice, "Okay!"
Kui Su's army had been advancing smoothly since they set out. According to the arrangement of the Military Affairs Department, they had occupied the desolate stars with formations one by one and destroyed the formations on them. In the end, they surrounded Guo Star, which was the center of the formation, from all directions.
At this moment, there were only twelve days before the army set off.
Commander Luan Bing looked at the Earth Star that was surrounded by white gas outside the cabin.
This star was only about half the size of the Kui Su Mansion. Even so, it was definitely not something an ordinary person could push in from outside the Kui Su Mansion. It was very likely that it was done by the incarnation of Xuan Zun.
He sighed in his heart, "The Upper Realm cultivators are really unpredictable."
He was very clear that the previous Earth Stars were not so much captured by them. It was better to say that the other party deliberately gave them up. But now, they were facing a tough bone that was really difficult to chew.
He said, "Prepare to release the Xuan Soldiers."
As soon as he gave the order, the rapid light immediately passed through the transmission airships from the center to the surrounding area. In a short time, it spread throughout the entire fleet.
About ten thousand warships flew out from the inside. The cannons under their abdomens opened at the same time, aiming at the Earth Star that was full of clouds below.
As the next order was passed, the cannons flashed with a burst of brilliant light. More than ten thousand Xuan Soldiers with great power rushed toward the Earth Star!
Because there was no turbid tide in the outer layer, these Xuan soldiers were abnormally stable. All the soldiers watched as the streaks of crystalline light streaked across the sky like shooting stars, heading towards their target. However, the moment they touched the clouds, they exploded like fireworks, one after another.
Not only that, as if something was triggered, the clouds rolled out and quickly approached those flying ships.
Luan Bing had long known that things were not so simple. At this moment, when he saw the changes below, he immediately ordered, "Retreat."
Although his order was issued in a timely manner, there were still more than ten flying ships that could not escape. They silently disappeared into the clouds.
Luan Bing turned around and looked at an old Daoist standing there. He said, "Wen Daoist, what do you think?"
The Daoist surnamed Wen looked at it for a moment and said in a calm tone, "General Luan, don't think that it's just some clouds. Under the stirring of the formation, it's as solid as an iron wall. It needs to withstand enough force to enter the formation.
In my opinion, only a small number of flying ships can withstand this force. The best way is to choose elite soldiers and cultivators with good skills to break in and destroy the formation. But according to the information we received, this is probably what the other side wants. "
Luan Bing thought for a moment and turned around. He said to the row of advisors standing behind him, "Let's discuss."
The advisors discussed softly for a while before someone suggested, "General, since these formations cannot be broken by Xuan Weapons, then letting our soldiers charge in will only be a meaningless sacrifice. Next, it will be up to those cultivators to do the work."
His opinion represented the majority. Most of the advisors thought that in such a place full of changes, it was more reliable and suitable to let cultivators deal with it than to let the army deal with it.
This was not their own consideration, but they really thought so.
The outer layer was different from the inner layer. Cultivators and the military often cooperated and could recognize each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Luan Bing looked at the Daoist surnamed Wen and said, "What do you think, Daoist Wen?"
The Daoist surnamed Wen said, "General, if you ask me, my suggestion is to find a way to let more people charge in. The more people there are, the more the formation's power will be scattered and there will be more chances to enter."
Luan Bing thought carefully and said, "Tell those cultivators that I hope they can lead the cultivators below to destroy the formation. I will also send twenty thousand elite soldiers to charge in with them. Also, go and inform Patrol Officer Zhang. I hope he can help. "
After the fleet made the decision, Zhang Yu quickly met the messenger. He nodded and said, "Go back and tell General Luan that I understand."
After sitting in silence for a moment, he stood up and walked out step by step with a longsword in hand.
The flying ship he was on was moving slowly, facing Guo Planet. As the cabin door opened, the white Earth Star in the void appeared in front of his eyes.
His heart light soared like fire and his robe fluttered without wind. His face under the hood could not be seen clearly.
He leaned forward and with a boom, he turned into a ray of light wrapped in jade mist and charged down!
On the other side, Liang Yi was also flying toward the white mist. He was the first to jump out of the flying ship after receiving the military's request, so he was at the front.
Behind him, there were tens of thousands of long flames of spiritual light mixed with streaks of rainbow light. It was as if streaks of dazzling meteors were streaking across the void.
Liang Yi looked at the flowing clouds. He knew that no matter how powerful his heart force was, he would not be able to withstand the surging power of the formation. As a result, he had to pass through as quickly as possible so that the formation would not have a chance to suppress him.
Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, his mind moved and a visualization diagram appeared, faintly wrapping around his body. In the next moment, as he charged forward, a large hole appeared in the clouds. Immediately, a few cultivators followed him and charged into the passage he opened.
As for the cultivators who broke through in other directions, they could only rely on their own strength. Some were like him, who had successfully passed through, but some were not able to pass through safely.
It could be seen that due to the lack of strength, many people were unable to pass through the clouds and mist. Instead, they crashed into the clouds, and the powerful force immediately caused them to explode into a cloud of blood mist. Their essence and blood were immediately collected by the formation qi.
Although some people took advantage of the shortcut at the beginning and followed the path opened up by their fellow Daoists, their speed was not fast enough and they were gradually trapped by the closing clouds. Their speed became slower and slower, and they were eventually crushed to death in the end. All of their Qi essence and blood essence were absorbed.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed. He suddenly sped up and jumped in front of everyone. The heart light around him suddenly expanded. As he sped up, it was as if a dazzling meteor had appeared in the void.
As he charged above the layer of mist, an enormous force pressed down on him. The layer of mist on the surface actually collapsed, and an unprecedentedly huge hole appeared in front of the army!
