Free Web NovelChapter 314: Chapter 313: The Barrier Disintegrates, the Demon Emperor Takes the Stage
BOOM!
Aboard the Ghostly Flood Dragon, twelve Plasma Cannons fired in sequence!
The clouds were torn asunder and the Spiritual Qi ignited. The combination of extremely compressed blood-flames and extreme acceleration from the Gang Wind produced devastating destructive power!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each Plasma Bomb detonated in a terrifying, massive explosion upon striking the Black Cloud Barrier!
The black clouds dissolved and the chains shattered!
With just a single volley, the area around the impact points looked as if it had been ravaged by a hurricane!
The black mist, cloudy smoke, and runic chains all shattered, transforming into pure spiritual light before dissipating into nothingness!
These manifestations could be considered the Array’s armor.
And now, the bombardment of Plasma Bombs had stripped away and shattered that layer of armor!
The main body of the barrier revealed itself.
It was a transparent screen, as thin as a cicada’s wing, composed of countless runes and Arrays.
’It’s over...’
「On the coastline.」
The yellow-robed Fake Core cultivator from the Spirit Control Sect, tasked with guarding this stretch of coast, was trembling all over, drenched in a cold sweat.
To be honest, this cicada-wing-thin transparent barrier was actually far tougher, in terms of defensive power, than the outer manifestations like the black clouds and chains.
However...
the appearance of this barrier meant one thing.
The Spiritual Power Pool was overdrawn and could no longer keep up with the demand.
Under these circumstances, whether this barrier was sturdy or not was largely meaningless.
It was like the capital city of a dynasty, whose defenses were naturally strong.
But for a mighty dynasty to have its capital besieged... in such a situation, the capital’s defenses were essentially useless.
Besides...
A chill ran through the yellow-robed Fake Core cultivator’s heart.
On the distant sea, the prow of the Ghostly Flood Dragon had split open, revealing a main cannon of terrifying caliber that was currently charging!
VMMMM!
A crimson beam of light tore through the atmosphere, howling as it shot across the surface of the sea!
This special ability was limited by his cultivation and technical expertise.
At present, Su Ye couldn’t compress it to a plasma state to increase its destructive power.
The wind element only served to accelerate it.
But...
it was more than enough!
The power of the Song of Hell was complete overkill!
HISS!
One could see that the surface of the sea beneath the beam was instantly vaporized, leaving a semicircular vacuum in its wake!
This was a testament to the sheer ferocity of its Spiritual Power and its scorching temperature!
The Song of Hell!
A prelude from hell itself!
BOOM!
An earth-shattering roar!
The crimson beam of light struck the transparent barrier like a heavy hammer!
CRASH!
The barrier shattered violently, breaking into countless fragments that scattered through the air!
Like fireflies, they slowly faded away into nothingness.
A conspicuous breach, like a crack in a mirror, appeared on the Array Barrier of the Ten Thousand Spirits Evolution Array!
Moreover, the fracture was still spreading outward!
The barrier was disintegrating!
Seeing this, Su Ye broke into a smile.
"Jiaojiao."
"Continue the bombardment."
"United Fleet, advance."
"Prepare to land."
...
「Spider Demon Island.」
Watching the breach in the barrier continue to expand, "Damn it..." The yellow-robed Fake Core cultivator was drenched in cold sweat.
His fingers danced continuously, flashing with spiritual light like a shadow puppeteer’s.
"Switch the Spiritual Power Pool, repair the breach... Damn it, patch it up!"
’Good, it’s switched to Spiritual Power Pool Number Five...’
A bit of color returned to the yellow-robed Fake Core cultivator’s face.
After switching the Spiritual Power Pool, the continuously disintegrating Array Barrier gradually stabilized.
It even began to show signs of regeneration.
High-tier Arrays had complete structures and were far more stable than low-tier ones.
Even if breached, they could be fully restored as long as countermeasures were taken in time and the power supply was stable.
But.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The port side of the Ghostly Flood Dragon unleashed a volley of Plasma Bombs!
As the shells roared, the Spiritual Power stored in the newly replaced Spiritual Power Pool Number Five plummeted!
In just a few seconds, it dropped below the warning line!
And then...
WHOOSH!
A Plasma Bomb shot through the breach and slammed into Spider Demon Island.
The concentrated blood-flames exploded, turning an area several miles in radius into a sea of fire!
A surging heatwave washed over him!
"Hiss..."
The yellow-robed Fake Core cultivator’s face was deathly pale.
The impact point of that Plasma Bomb was less than three miles away from him!
’If it had been off by just a little, I would have been... obliterated, without a single bone remaining...’
The thought made the yellow-robed Fake Core cultivator’s brow twitch.
’No, I can’t stay here any longer!’
He gritted his teeth, summoned an Escape Light, and fled toward the island’s interior.
But before retreating, he sent out one last command with his Divine Sense.
"Yama Ghost King Spiders, attack!"
...
SPLASH.
「On the surface of the sea.」
Several shadows emerged from the water.
Their patterned carapaces broke the surface like small islands.
Six pairs of crimson compound eyes glowed with a savage, bloodthirsty light!
SPLASH!
Water cascaded off them like waterfalls.
Yama Ghost King Spiders, each over a hundred feet tall, rose from the sea.
These War Giant Beasts, bred by the Spirit Control Sect, roared and charged toward the United Fleet!
"Tier Three Mid Stage?"
Surges of Demon Power washed over him.
Su Ye looked slightly surprised. He was a bit curious.
’Does the Spirit Control Sect have this many Demon Kings?’
’No... you can’t really call them Demon Kings.’
’These demon beasts have no discernible intelligence... Are they just mindless monsters?’
’Or perhaps... biological mechs?’
Su Ye had discovered an empty space within the brains of the Yama Ghost King Spiders.
Inside each Ghost King Spider, two Foundation Establishment cultivators were controlling it.
’So this is... a control room?’
’Interesting technology...’
’It seems this technology could also be combined with the Weiyuan-class Spiritual Ships?’
The Ghostly Flood Dragon’s semi-biological, self-repairing characteristic was extremely useful.
But the Weiyuan-class ships, which were modeled after the Ghostly Flood Dragon, couldn’t do the same.
This was a source of some regret for Su Ye, but now, it seemed the Spirit Control Sect’s technology could remedy this?
’After the war, I’ll have to get my hands on this technology...’
Su Ye mused.
As for the Yama Ghost King Spiders, he wasn’t concerned.
"Hmm..."
"Opponents of this level can be left to the United Fleet."
"It’s a good chance for them to get some combat experience... a little training."
The United Fleet changed formation.
With the Weiyuan-class Spiritual Ships as the core, they confronted the attacking Yama Ghost King Spiders.
Each Weiyuan-class Spiritual Ship was garrisoned by Tier Three cultivators.
With the precise control of the cultivators, the superior firepower of the Weiyuan-class Spiritual Ships easily suppressed the Yama Ghost King Spiders!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The Divine Thunder Cannons roared, blasting the carapaces of the Yama Ghost King Spiders until they cracked and shattered!
A few minutes later,
the United Fleet had killed all six Yama Ghost King Spiders with minimal casualties.
[Demon Beast Hunted. +2500 EXP for [Pastor of the Sea].]
’There’s even experience points? Not bad.’
Although it was a little less than what a true Tier Three demon beast would give,
the six Ghost King Spiders still contributed 15,000 experience points to Su Ye!
Next,
the United Fleet approached the coastline and began to land on Spider Demon Island!
Under the absolute suppression of firepower, the Spirit Control Sect cultivators broke and retreated deeper into the island!
THUD!
The first wave of landing cultivators set foot on Spider Demon Island!
They planted a Deep Blue Moon Blade Banner of the Nanyaoguang Corporation on a hilltop, letting it flutter in the wind.
If this were his past life, a landing operation that had progressed this far would mean the outcome was already decided.
But in this world, that wasn’t necessarily the case...
Su Ye looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly.
At the very center of Spider Demon Ridge, a pitch-black sun had appeared, its majestic divine might as vast as an abyss and as oppressive as a prison!
A Tier Four spiritual pressure radiated outward, creating a suffocating sense of oppression!
"The Sun-Eating Demon Spider Emperor!"
