"The Eye of Blood Demon is functioning at 80% the maximum intensity."
"All magical equipment units are performing well. The storage, enhancement, and transformation of the tidal force are normal."
"In three minutes, the tidal force will hit the peak. We will begin our first teleportation!"
Around the bloody lake, hundreds of hideous devilish warships, and thousands of super demon beasts that were too large to be accommodated by the devilish warships were holding their breath, waiting.
A hundred demon beasts of them and fifteen devilish warships entered the center of the bloody lake as the first echelon.
The red mist flowed toward them crazily and tied them up like proliferating veins or vines, enveloping them until there was no gap left.
"Hehe. Hehehehe!"
All the demon beasts had been injected with the last dosage of the exhilarant. Their skin was breaking apart, and their muscles were bulging. Their claws and teeth, which were now stained with blood, had grown to the limits. Their pupils had almost been melted in their bloodshot eyes while they were roaring hungrily for food.
Even the demonic stripes and barriers that tied them up were glittering and dimming in the thunderstorm. The strengthened external skeleton and the magical equipment installed were crashing with each other amid clattering noises.
The demon beasts that the Blood Demon Sector had carefully refined for decades became one-time expendables in the battle today. Their aggressiveness, combat ability, and bloodthirst had been triggered to the maximum without considering the consequences, and they were about to be released in the most brutal way!
Inside the devilish warships were teams of elite soldiers in hideous armor whose murderous intent was soaring. It was not hard to tell their capability from the interconnecting scars on their bodies and the expression that was a combination of indifference and ruthlessness on their faces.
The bronze-blood warriors were rubbing their acid guns and their tusk sabers with casual smiles on their faces, their every scar glittering.
The silver-blood commanders were as tranquil as before. They touched the chest of their armor where the sigils of their family had been engraved while they prayed to the glorious Pantheon of Demons in silence.
Around the devilish warships were smaller teleportation cabins that looked like cocoons.
Those lying in the middle of the cocoons, who were protected by a solid shell and a soft buffer layer, were fourteen demon emperors with Elder Blood Robe, master of the Kingdom of Lion Butchers, as the lead.
They were so strong that they might encounter danger when they passed through the wormholes. Therefore, they had to be teleported alone in such a way.
The lake water was boiling more and more furiously. The fourteen demon emperors and the devilish warships that were fully loaded with the best troops of the Blood Demon Sector had been completely consumed by the bloody mist. The bloody mist rose up into the sky and slowly joined the lightning and dark clouds there.
The two air currents, one red and the other black, interweaved into a spiral that was closely surrounded by electric arcs. Together, they constituted a sharp, unstoppable cone that seemed to be piercing through the feeble wall between the two Sectors!
BOOM!
CRACK!
In the middle of the thunder and lightning, where the dark clouds and the bloody mist met, a weird black hole showed up, as if part of the world had been somehow taken away.
Deep inside the black hole was a completely different view. A coruscating metropolis was popping up slowly and obscurely.
"Warriors of the Blood Demon Sector!
"Children of Pangu, Kuafu and Nuwa!
"The last guardians of the demon race's glory in the three thousand Sectors!"
Jin Tuyi's image, through the transmission of the wireless brainwaves of the main biochemical brain, appeared inside every devilish warship, on the retina of every warrior, and even in the mysterious mist in the sky above the bloody lake.
The dark clouds turned into his face, the bloody mist was his armor, and the lightning became his claws and tusks!
"The most sacred day for our race has finally come!
"We've been waiting for today for ten thousand years!
"Over the past ten thousand years, we have lost our glory and splendidness in the past. We were banished on every continent. We were slaughtered in every space zone and every Sector!
"We used to be the most honorable dominators of the sea of stars, but in the past ten thousand years, we have been the humblest of slaves, the filthiest of germs, and the evilest of fiends! We lost our families and our homes. We fled and retreated until we were finally here, a desolate land at the edge of the universe!
"Now, we don't even have many days to catch our breath on this barren planet!
"The sordid Heaven's Origin Sector has received the help of the evil Flying Star Sector. They are crafting sabers and swords to butcher us day and night. They are drafting schemes of invasion. In the future soon to come, they will stomp on our last shelter and expel us from our poor home into the abyss of doom in the bleak universe!
"If we don't resist, our home will turn into a wasteland again, just like the thousands of planets our ancestors lost in the past ten thousand years!
"If we don't resist, our wives and compatriots will be butchered, enslaved, humiliated, played. They will be sent into the research facilities of human beings for the cruelest experiments. They will even be locked into cages for exhibitions like freaks!
"If we don't resist, our civilization will be destroyed, and it will be the end of our history! After we are destroyed, the enemy will also smear our reputation with the most shameless lies. They will describe our glorious civilization as one of blood and darkness. They will call us the most evil and terrible race in the entire universe!
"By then, when we have been burnt to ashes, we will no longer be able to defend ourselves, our ancestors, and our civilization!
"Warriors of the Blood Demon Sector!
"Children of Pangu, Kuafu, and Nuwa!
"The last guardians of the demon's civilization in the three thousand Sectors!
"The fate of our home and our compatriots, the past and the future of our civilization… it is all in our hands!
"Will we raise our hands, retreat our teeth, and wash clean our necks, waiting for human beings to slaughter us and to crucify our great civilization on the pillar of shame forever?
"No! No! Never!
"Obliteration! Rebirth! Immortality! This is the last war in the prophecy of our race! This is the last test that the Pangu Clan, our sacred ancestors, has left for us!
"The offspring of the Pangu Clan are destined to rise in fire in the sacred war and embark on the most brilliant path of immortality again. We will be the greatest dominators of the sea of stars again!
"The time for battle has come!
"Hold on to your saber, bare your fangs, and let loose of your fury!
"Look. The capital city of the Star Glory Federation is right under our tusks and blades, undefended and ready to be savaged!
"Do not fear death because death is definitely not our destination. The glorious Pantheon of Demons will be waiting for our valiant souls in the clouds of the capital city of the Star Glory Federation! Go now. Butcher and destroy. Send the crying, cowering human beings into the deepest depths of hell!"
"Ho!"
"Hooooo!"
All the demons could not have been more excited, their blood boiling. If the passion in their eyes could be condensed into flames, the capital city of the Star Glory Federation would have been burnt to the ground already!
"Obliteration! Rebirth! Immortality!"
"Obliteration! Rebirth! Immortality!"
"We are the children of Pangu. The blood of Nuwa flows in our veins. We are the most honorable masters of the sea of stars! The glorious Pantheon of Demons is waiting for us in the clouds!"
Not only were the simple-headed bronze-blood demons roaring desperately, the silver-blood demons, who were usually calm, and even the high and mighty demon emperors were all shouting uncontrollably.
They might not have believed in the 'glorious Pantheon of Demons' as the low-level demons did, but it did not stop them from being enshrouded in the fire of their own ambitions.
Emotionlessly, Jin Tuyi raised his right hand and slashed down. "The first wave of teleportation, begin!"
Chapter 1025: Angry Bullets! |
With Jin Tuyi's command, the bloody lake was simmering in the most heated state like a brewing volcanic eruption.
The lake water seemed be orange, molten steel at a temperature of thousands of degrees. Weird brilliance more dazzling and colorful than an aurora was soaring into the sky.
In the sky, the 'hole' that did not belong to the world was becoming larger and larger. Through the hole, one was able to clearly see the skyscrapers aglow with lights.
Some of the pebbles floating in midair had already darted to the world in the opposite side through the hold because of the attraction of the swirl!
The first wave of attack, made of fourteen demon emperors and dozens of devilish warships, all became almost transparent in the coverage and corrosion of the bloody mist.
In the eyes of the bystanders, they lost their shapes in the three-dimensional world all of a suddenly and seemed to have turned into plasticine. They were stretched to the limits at first like noodles, spinning quickly along the swirl, before they were suddenly compressed into a small cluster and fell to the center of the hole!
Swoosh!
The first batch of demon beasts appeared in the sky of the Heaven's Origin Sector across the barrier between the two Sectors!
They were soaring up into the sky, attracted by the tidal force. Yet, the moment they passed through the wormhole, they were captured by the gravity of the Heaven's Origin Planet and fell to the ground.
However, the demon beasts that served as the vanguard all boasted amazing flight abilities. They stabilized themselves very quickly and stretched out their membranes and bone wings, flying over the heads of the crowds who were celebrating the victory and uttering the first earsplitting shriek in the sky of the capital city of the Star Glory Federation!
"Ao! Aooooo!"
At this moment, the capital city was still as bright as daylight.
The excited crowds had not yet dispersed. The light beams on the skyscrapers were still displaying the picture of the great victory at the Giant Blade Pass.
In the picture, the 'Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars' flag, the national flag of the Star Glory Federation, was fluttering in the wind, and the Cultivators and the federal soldiers could not have been in higher spirits!
In the square before 'Heavenly Sword Plaza', a landmark of the capital city that was more than two thousand and seven hundred meters high, tens of thousands of young people had gathered, ready for an all-night party. The blowing thunderstorm did not quench their enthusiasm. If anything, they even got more excited. The obstreperous square was simmering in exclamations like fire that had been added to oil when the news that a few young Cultivators from the Giant Blade Pass had joined them.
However—
Huala!
From the sky, countless sharp glass pieces were rapidly falling, only to be discovered by three Cultivators in time. They reacted quickly enough to release the spiritual shield and blocked the pieces from hitting the crowd, breaking them into shining powder.
"Ahhh!"
Shocking exclamations were echoing in the crowd. Everybody raised their head, only to be dumbfounded by the nightmare at the top of the Heavenly Sword Plaza. They were overwhelmed by terror and could not even move their little finger.
It was a gargantuan demon beast, hundreds of meters long, that looked like a hybrid of an enormous lizard and a giant boa. Lurking at the highest point of the plaza, the demon beast was staring at the crowd coldly with three crimson eyes that looked like searchlights.
CRACK!
The dragon-like demon beast exerted its strength again, shattering the glass windows and the outer wall of the Heavenly Sword Plaza. Hundreds more pieces were raining down like a storm, raising cries everywhere.
Pu!
The three Cultivators were only in the early Refinement Stage. The spiritual shield that they triggered was far from enough to resist the blast of tons of pieces falling from an altitude of three thousand meters!
Ripples were spreading out on their spiritual shields. The three Cultivators all vomited blood and bulged their eyes while they desperately shouted, "Hurry and go!"
BOOM!
Their voices were eclipsed by a thunderous roar.
The dragon-like demon beast's body turned red, and the scales stood up one after another. Opening its bloody mouth, the demon beast spurted out a firewall that was as scorching as the sun. The fireball hit a skyscraper nearby, only to blow the building in half!
The broken building leaned backward amid soul-stirring noises of the fracturing rebars.
The enormous light beam that had been installed between the two skyscrapers were torn to shreds, too.
On the few shreds that were relatively intact, the picture of the federal soldiers marching forward unstoppably with the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag was still blinking vaguely.
However, the picture was soon blocked by the demon beasts that were flying everywhere in the sky and perished in the pouring storm.
Above the storm, in the middle of the clouds, gaps and swirls were appearing one after another.
The devilish warships fully loaded with the best troops of the coalition army of demons were slowly extending their heads out of the swirls.
At this moment, in the crowds that were too shocked to move, somebody was finally back to themself because of the undying explosions and quakes. They shouted in the utmost horror, "B—Beast tide outbreak!"
…
In the Blood Demon Sector, right below the Eye of Blood Demon, in the stabilization room, the blood streaks inside Li Yao's eyes were almost crushing his eyes. He was breathing so fast that his nostrils were like the exhaust tubes of a shuttle. Veins were bulging from his dry arms and chest like a raging dragon, which was utterly unbefitting for the identity of 'Jin Zhenyi'.
Thankfully, everybody's attention was focused on the stabilization unit. No one noticed his anomaly.
As the tidal force grew stronger and stronger, the teleportation intensity of the Eye of Blood Demon was higher and higher, too. The pressure on the stabilization unit had reached the highest point, too!
The four cooling towers were all emanating deafening fulminations. The holes on the cooling tubes were shrieking and spurting out hot steam. The entire stabilization room was as hot as a furnace!
But Li Yao's heart was ten times more scorching than the environment.
Although he did not see what was happening in the sky above the bloody lake, the data regarding the teleportation was being transmitted to the main biochemical brain of the stabilization room incessantly.
Based on the data, he could estimate the progress of the teleportation easily.
Part of the coalition army of demons has been teleported to the capital city!
Li Yao gritted his teeth and felt that his internal organs were burning in anxiety. He could not fathom how much damage the brutal demon beasts would cause to the capital city.
However, it was not the time to take action yet!
The tidal force hasn't reached the peak yet. The fourteen demon emperors and the few heavy devilish warships of the highest level haven't been teleported, either. It is not the time to sabotage the teleportation array yet. I must wait. I have to wait!
Li Yao scratched his thighs so hard that they were full of bloody bruises.
Li Zhengzhi, deputy director of the stabilization unit and a specialist who was at loggerheads with 'Jin Zhenyi', thought that he was nervous about the stabilization room and raised a suggestion in a mocking tone.
"The No. 3 rune array group is not working any more. It seems it will crash in another fifteen seconds.
"Huh. The stabilization rotors in the No. 6 rune array group seems to be malfunctioning. The noises do not sound right!
"As I expected, the double-helix structure that has never been used before is not enough to survive the pressure. The way I see it, it will collapse after the first wave of teleportation. I say we should be prepared to switch to the No. 2 stabilization plan at any moment!"
Li Yao's eyelids were twitching violently. The veins on his forehead were bouncing like electric arcs. He was clenching his fists so hard that it was enough to squeeze juice out of steel.
"Huh?"
Li Zhengzhi's eyes beamed with joy as if he had found a treasure. All the feathers on his wings were shivering as he exclaimed, "What's with the 'Purple Pole Splendid Sun Array' that connects the four cooling towers? Two crystal wires seem to have been mistaken with each other! Director Jin, as I recall, it was you who performed the last examination, wasn't it? How could you have made such a terrible error?
"Thankfully, I've discovered it in time. Otherwise, when the tidal force reaches the peak, the four cooling towers might collapse at the same time!"
Deep inside Li Yao's eyes, data were glittering like stars. He narrowed his eyes and said, one word after another, "Is that so?"
Li Zhengzhi could not have been more satisfied now that he had found a huge mistake of his mortal enemy. "Of course. Take a look at it yourself. Such a beginning-level mistake at such a critical location. If I hadn't discovered it in time, there might have been dire consequences!"
"Seems so." Li Yao walked to Li Zhengzhi and glanced at it. The critical changes of some data in his eyes finally made his lips curl into a cruel smile. He said, "However, it was intentional."
Li Zhengzhi was dazed for a moment. Before he realized what was happening, the sharp killing intent from the 'Jin Zhenyi' next to him had already frozen his heart. His head had already retreated into his neck, and he could not utter a word.
