Chapter 611: Fierce battle 2
The battle had entered a fever pitch.
The People of No Return suffered heavy casualties, but they were all excited.
Revenge—they had achieved it.
Although the casualty ratio was completely disproportionate, in this Void Realm, the blood of humanity and their blood mingled together.
Watching this scene, only exhilaration filled the hearts of the People of No Return.
It turned out that humanity could bleed too.
It turned out that everything they did was not in vain.
It turned out that even they, these stray dogs, these useless beings, could still make the high and mighty, those who claimed to be free from all low-level humanity, bleed, and even die here.
Among these fighting People of No Return, Lin Ya was very formidable; as a female, her world had long been saturated by the traditions of the world, and long ago, her world had lost its own Dao, turning into a strange imitation of that world, yet influenced by the Dao of other large worlds, becoming a bizarre appearance.
This was a common occurrence in many worlds in Outer Void; countless worlds in Outer Void often influenced each other, with the world's influence being the greatest, but many First Grade worlds were not far behind.
Therefore, civilizations unable to adhere to their Dao would, under this endless influence, continuously fail to find their true path, with the entire civilization drifting with the current, having no self-Dao, only worldly Dao.
Lin Ya's world was a typical example of this.
Precisely because of this, for a period after her world was destroyed, she initially felt nothing; as a Seventh Grade, she actually detested her backward world.
She envied those powerful worlds, envied their Dao-seeking atmosphere, especially envying the world, that great civilization rumored to illuminate all worlds like the sun; among the countless worlds in Outer Void, apart from the natives, probably no world was unaffected by the world.
Because of this, she chose to leave her world and became a common Void Realm wanderer, searching for her Dao in various parts of Outer Void with her Seventh Grade cultivation.
It was only then that she felt nothing, but a few days later, when she emerged from a ruin and subconsciously sent a message to her home world to confirm her location, she suddenly discovered...
Her home world had disappeared.
It wasn't that she didn't contact it, but that it was no longer there; although she hadn't returned to her home world for a long time, when she wasn't clear about her location, she still subconsciously sent messages to her home world to obtain her relative coordinates at the time and confirm her location.
But no message returned.
Now, she finally realized what 'disappeared' meant.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that Outer Void, which she had long grown accustomed to, suddenly became even more hollow.
In the vast Void Realm, there was no news of her departure.
She always thought that in the vast Void Beyond, she could go anywhere; after all, she was a Seventh Grade, and many worlds would be willing to accept her.
But at that moment, she suddenly realized...
In fact, although Outer Void was vast, she had nowhere to go; Lin Ya thought she had long been a Void Realm wanderer, but it was only at this moment that she truly became a wanderer.
However, she quickly pulled herself together; since her world was gone, what else could happen? Life had to go on; eating might not be necessary, but cultivation definitely had to continue.
Anyway, she didn't care about humanity; at most, she would feel a bit desolate, and it wouldn't affect her eating; she had already left her original world for several hundred years and could continue to live without her home world.
So, she continued her life for another period, perhaps about twenty-something days.
During these twenty-something days, she suddenly felt that she didn't have much spirit for anything.
The communicator, which she might not have taken out once in ten years, was often held and played with in her hand.
Just a month ago, as long as she pressed this communicator, she would receive messages and positioning from her home world, used to confirm her location while traveling in Outer Void.
But now, no matter how much she pressed, there would be no response.
Finally, she chose to join the People of No Return organization, moving from the not-so-safe areas outside the war zone to the utterly unsafe war zone.
Upon arriving here, she heard a very sensible saying.
It turned out that her previous letting go of humanity was not 'forgiveness', but 'it's over'.
But now, it couldn't be 'over'.
After all, it was her world.
Layers of Divine Ability blasted forth; her Divine Ability was greatly influenced by the world, so humanity could defend against it well, but it didn't matter; as long as the other party put effort into defending, others could use completely different Divine Ability to cause damage.
"Kalor—" Lin Ya suddenly called out her teammate's name, while accumulating all her strength.
She charged forward, and with seven or eight People of No Return, entangled a human military officer, preventing him from escaping.
"Good!" On the other side, a strange starfish-like race responded, and the giant cannon behind him simultaneously charged up.
The People of No Return named Kalor, his world had not developed Divine Ability, but had developed a mechanical system that could achieve many effects, and they were very dull about 'Dao principles' but very sensitive to pure mechanics.
Because of this, this civilization was not good at flashy Dao Divine Ability, but was very good at various machines, such as... the giant cannon in front of them.
Using a mountain as a cannonball, the giant machine suddenly ignited, breaking down the substance itself into energy, and then blasted a mountain out!
That was a large rock mass in the dead zone of the world, tens of kilometers in diameter, tens of kilometers deep, and tens of thousands of cubic kilometers in volume; calling it a mountain was no problem at all.
According to the density of ordinary rock, one cubic kilometer would weigh at least two billion tons.
So, tens of thousands of cubic kilometers would be at least five to six hundred trillion tons.
Such a huge mass of matter, at an extremely fast speed, crashed into the target.
There was no flashy Divine Ability, no various symbolic references to borrow power, just pure brute force creating miracles, a pure Physical Body attack.
The cannonball fell, and the destructive roar instantly destroyed everything! Including Lin Ya, all the nearby People of No Return, plus that Tang Nation military officer, were blown to pieces!
And this scene was playing out everywhere.
The People of No Return exchanged human casualties at a ratio of more than ten to one, resulting in humanity's rapid collapse.
No matter how high humanity's quality, how strong their Divine Ability, or how powerful their individual Realm, there were only one hundred thousand of them.
One hundred thousand was not enough to die.
However many worlds they had dismantled, they would now face that many People of No Return.
Victory seemed within reach.
However, Gou Lou's attitude was not optimistic.
As a Fifth Grade Martial Artist, Gou Lou was currently suppressing humanity's Fifth Grade Deputy Generals with other Fifth Grade Martial Artists of the People of No Return, preventing them from shaking the military Qi and leaving the Tang Nation people without a leader.
But that was only these one hundred thousand.
Shen Shuibi could hold back the Great General, they could hold back the Deputy Generals, and the People of No Return could trade lives to kill ordinary soldiers.
But what would happen when the Tang Nation's reinforcements arrived?
Sure enough, just as the People of No Return's morale was soaring, a 'bang' sound came from not far away again.
A clearly discernible halo shockwave emanated from nearby.
The phantom of the Human Golden Dais appeared again.
The next second, an almost identical configuration of one hundred thousand troops descended again!
As always, two Fifth Grade Great Generals, five ordinary Fifth Grade Deputy Generals, and five armies.
However, the difference was that the Great General who descended this time was not the fierce, powerful general from before, but a refined general with a clear face and a feather fan and silk scarf.
The moment he descended, he already sensed the battle of the People of No Return not far away, as well as the massive phased array that was continuously scanning the entire world group.
However, there was no Thunder Pond to stop him this time.
He pointed his feather fan at the large array and said calmly: "Gathering in the wilderness, like foxes and rats, daring to jump around? Our allies have already held back their main force, all generals and soldiers, listen to my command! Destroy the array!"
"Yes!" The other five Great Generals immediately cupped their hands and then rushed towards the array.
As for this Great General, after giving the order, he didn't even hesitate, rushing straight towards the battlefield of Shen Shuibi and the General of the Flying Cavalry.
He was coming to help his allies and jointly resist Shen Shuibi!
With the terminal, the spread of humanity's messages could almost be said to be instantaneous; when the battle was joined there, communication soldiers had already reported the situation of Shen Shuibi and the People of No Return to the terminal, and communication soldiers in all human battle intelligence departments would receive this message and make corresponding arrangements.
Even Shen Shuibi's background had already been thoroughly understood by humanity; in the past, when humanity healed Shen Shuibi, they knew Shen Shuibi's cultivation脉络 like the back of their hand; this intelligence had all been released and given to these front-line Great Generals.
The refined general didn't seem too nervous, because Shen Shuibi was already entangled with his ally, and seeing the General of the Flying Cavalry sitting quietly in place, he should be under no pressure for the time being.
Even if he was not an match, as a fellow Fifth Grade, supporting for ten days to half a month was not a problem.
However, just as this refined general arrived, he heard a sound transmitted by a secret technique.
It was that ally, the General of the Flying Cavalry, who let out a roar with all his strength: "Don't come over! Flee!"
Upon hearing this, the refined general didn't even think, completely trusting the other party, and suddenly retreated!
Unfortunately, he was half a step too late.
Then, the General of the Flying Cavalry, after sensing someone's Qi approaching, suddenly stood up, raised his horse-slaying saber, and opened his eyes, which were filled with blood red.
He had been completely swallowed by killing intent; the Evil Qi accumulated from conquering countless worlds became his weakness, completely detonated by Shen Shuibi with her own fierce Qi and Mao Sacrifice!
When Evil Qi entered his Spirit Soul, he had to unleash a strike to vent this Evil Qi; he could not control it.
This strike would be an earth-shattering one, a strike that would unleash all his cultivation, condensing all the Evil Qi, all the cultivation, and all the killing intent he had accumulated from cultivation until now; it was an astonishingly beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous, and yet terrifyingly abyssal strike!
This strike was the entire life of a General of the Flying Cavalry!
The horse-slaying saber gathered Evil Qi, and a terrifying sea of blood condensed within the blade; a strike was unleashed, and the target was that refined general who had just arrived!
Everything was within Shen Shuibi's plan.
The saber light flashed—
The wind passes through a thousand layers, forming fine scales; the tide returns, spreading ten thousand acres of flat wrinkles.
This describes the surface of the water, meaning that the water surface, swept by the wind, forms dense ripples, looking like a thousand layers of fine scales.
Why is it used here? There is clearly no water here.
Yes, there is no water here; Outer Void has nothing.
But... space itself, like the surface of water, began to 'ripple'.
The General of the Flying Cavalry's Dharma Body reappeared.
The strictness of his chariots, clothing, and guards, the grandeur of his armored soldiers and banners, the announcement of military orders, the solemnity of the Mazu ritual, and the awe of defeating enemies and accepting surrender were all vivid in his mind.
But in an instant, this Dharma Body began to be stained with fresh red.
The solemn military appearance began to be covered by brutal slaughter.
The mighty charioteer was invaded by Evil Qi; his Dharma Body transformed from a majestic, grand royal army into a squad of executioners, a mob of thugs who reveled in slaughter.
Majesty and solemnity were completely lost, but killing power and brutality multiplied!
All of this was condensed into this one strike.
When a person is enraged, they unleash a punch with all their strength; after one punch, their body is almost exhausted.
Similarly, this strike was the same.
This General of the Flying Cavalry, his Qi and blood, Spirit Soul, Dharma Body, and even Inner World, all, all of it, was unleashed in this one strike.
To be honest, Shen Shuibi felt that if she faced this strike, she would probably be gravely injured and on the verge of death.
And that refined general opposite her, his cultivation was actually inferior to Shen Shuibi's.
Facing this suddenly unleashed strike, that refined general suddenly unleashed his Dharma Body, and a vast aura of righteousness surged forth!
A gentleman's sword suddenly appeared in his hand; he drew the sword to build momentum, and behind him appeared countless phantoms of human Confucian sages, the foremost of whom was none other than Liu Donghe, the Utmost Person of humanity, whom Li Qi knew.
Liu Donghe's phantom had a serious face and held the hilt of the sword with him.
Then, a sword strike was unleashed.
However, these countless phantoms were directly shattered by the saber shadow, which was like a sea of blood.
Nevertheless, so many phantoms of sages still blocked for about half a second.
During this time, the Golden Dais, without any charging, forcibly performed an overloaded teleportation.
Clearly, Liu Junyi was watching this side, and at that moment, he chose to forcibly skip the Golden Dais's normal charging phase, completing the teleportation instantly!
This would not affect the Golden Dais's main body, but it would cause great damage to the Golden Dais that Liu Junyi controlled.
But it didn't matter anymore, because Liu Junyi directly deployed three Fifth Grades.
Each was a Fifth Grade specializing in special operations, not commanding an army, but with extremely strong individual combat power, enough to resist this strike; this should be Liu Junyi's judgment of the combat power that could instantly kill Shen Shuibi alone.
Three different Divine Abilities, three different Dharma Bodies rose! Plus the Confucian, a total of four Fifth Grades, painstakingly blocked this strike.
On Shen Shuibi's side, the human General of the Flying Cavalry had already turned into a dried corpse; if not for the Golden Dais's emergency teleportation, this strike could have taken out two Fifth Grades of humanity.
However...
Shen Shuibi, who had already lost her Physical Body, suddenly broke free, condensed her Yang Spirit, then opened her small mouth and spat forward.
A Golden Core vanished with a whoosh, then appeared beside that refined general.
The Five Elements Reversed Dragon-Tiger Zhou Tian Golden Core.
With a rumble! The Golden Core self-destructed, exploding around the four Fifth Grades!
