Chapter 1274
[Immortal Realm Chapter] Star Martial Showdown, Battle of Immortal Death
"."
All eyes of the members of the Yixian Alliance turned to him. The Spirit Master silently twitched the corner of his mouth, clearly not expecting to be discovered.
It was clearly a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Now, we're all going to die together, and nobody's going to have a good time!
The opposing fleets continued to fill the sky, and the three Star Martial Emperors watched from afar, but all of them held back and did not move.
They originally thought that killing only the Spirit Master Yu Ling would be enough, but the Spirit Prolonging Ancestor and the remnants of the Immortal Remnant Alliance were still hiding ahead. In that case, it would be difficult to fight head-on. They were afraid of suffering heavy losses if they forced a battle, so they decided to besiege the area and wait for reinforcements!
If this drags on, a steady stream of fleets and powerful individuals will arrive from behind the Microcosm. When that happens, they can take advantage of their numbers and attack, and the enemy will have no chance of winning.
They have the advantage of time, so they can afford to wait.
"Listen up, remnants of the immortal path! You have fifteen minutes left. If you don't come out and surrender, you will lose your last chance to survive!"
The members of the Yixian Alliance looked at each other in bewilderment.
Fifteen minutes have long passed, and they gave us another fifteen minutes? Is this just a delaying tactic?
"Grandmaster, don't wait any longer, make a decision soon!"
"The Kongtong Realm is gone. Rather than staying here to wait for death, we should fight our way out."
"The universe is vast. Even if there is nowhere to go, I can always go out and switch to Star Martial Arts. There will still be a way out in the future!"
"Why waste time talking so much? Let's fight them!"
"Where there's life, there's hope. It's best to make a run for it."
Everyone urged him on, one of them pacing anxiously, but Ancestor Yanling stood still, not moving an inch. He could have left much earlier, but he had deliberately delayed until now.
He glanced back at the mountain peak behind him, a look of helplessness in his eyes.
"Young friend Lin has just broken through to the Void Realm and is still at a crucial stage in refining his domain. How could I abandon him?"
The people of the Immortal Remnant Alliance had long disliked Lin Shan.
The Kongtong Realm is in ruins, all because of him!
Even the arrival of the Spirit Master brought the Cosmic Alliance fleet to this place. The culprit is still this kid. He's a total jinx. Anyone who follows him will be unlucky. It's better to get rid of him as soon as possible!
These people didn't blame the Spirit Master for bringing people over; instead, they blamed the lightning bolts planted by Lin Shan during his divine journey. After all, the former were their own people, while the latter were outsiders.
So everyone advised us to ignore him and just go our own way.
In the past, they dared not speak out because they couldn't do anything to Lin Shan. Now that the Spirit Master has returned and the Immortal Remnant Alliance has two Void Realm experts, they naturally stand tall and dare to speak their minds.
But Ancestor Yanling didn't think so.
So much sunk cost was invested in the early stages just to help Lin Shan break through to the Void Realm. Later, they watched helplessly as the Kongtong Realm was completely drained, all in order to take advantage of Lin Shan after he broke through.
Now they want to abandon each other and leave. Who could easily give that up?
Surprisingly, the Spirit Master also remained silent!
He actually thought differently from everyone else. During those twenty years outside, he was practically treated like a rat in the street, living each day in despair and torment.
Unable to cultivate, without supplies, constantly on the run, wandering and roaming—he had long since had enough of this kind of life!
"Actually, there's no point in escaping."
The Spirit Master spoke in a hoarse, low voice, his tone filled with endless melancholy. At his age, he had many insights and had come to understand things better through experience.
"People always fantasize about a path they haven't taken before, but when you actually embark on it, you might regret not taking a chance and going all in!"
Now, both of these Void Realm cultivators are pinning their hopes on Lin Shan, hoping for a miracle.
Escaping is pointless; it's tantamount to a slow death.
With those two leading the way, even if the others wanted to run away, they couldn't; they could only stay here and wait!
Seeing the outside space trembling and warships crashing into the Kongtong Realm one after another, with the enemy's numbers and weapons continuing to expand, he couldn't help but show a look of despair.
They deeply felt their own weakness, their fate was in the hands of others, and they wanted to change but were helpless. This is the tragedy of the lower class!
The figure atop the mountain was single-mindedly focused on building his own domain, continuously expanding the Thunder Pool Cave Heaven and reinforcing it with spatial laws. It slowly unfolded in the illusion, everything proceeding in an orderly manner.
Having witnessed the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool many times, I was already familiar with the original version, so I built the domain very quickly, with almost no hiccups.
But this scene also attracted the attention of the other side!
Several Star Martial Emperors gathered together and secretly discussed the situation, using telescopes to observe the distant situation. However, they were quickly detected by the target, and then a soft, fluffy cloud appeared, enveloping them completely and preventing any spying.
"Um???"
They were now astonished and uncertain. Based on what they had seen and their previous understanding, it seemed that someone had just broken through to the Void Realm.
Who would have thought that someone could break through the Void Realm in such a dim universe!
So, could it be that this kid is responsible for the Kongtong Realm becoming like this?
They were also puzzled as to why the place they had come to was so different from what they had imagined, with such a harsh environment.
If the space fleet doesn't come, the Kongtong Realm probably won't last long either, and it will be destroyed on its own without them even having to take action!
Having figured out the intricacies of the matter, the three Star Martial Emperors couldn't help but marvel.
"I never imagined that after so many years of wandering, the remnants of the immortal path would end up in such a dramatic way. If the spiritual energy of the Kongtong Realm were abundant, we could have attacked it for ten days and ten nights without success. But now it has been destroyed by their own hands. They have truly reaped what they sowed!"
"Yes, they have endured for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is finally time for them to say goodbye. It's just a pity that the political leaders and high-ranking officials of the major worlds do not want to do this, and are still bound by their own dream of immortality! But they don't even think about it. These cultivators themselves cannot live forever, so how can they help them live forever? No wonder they have been researching for so long without any results."
"It's a pity that we used a powerful interstellar weapon to pollute the light sphere in order to deal with a broken world. If this deal is to be worthwhile, we must find something good to replace it."
Even before the fight started, these people were already thinking about how to divide the spoils, it seems they already considered the Immortal Remnant Alliance as easy prey.
With three Star Martial Emperors on our side and three Void Realm cultivators on the other, in terms of combat strength, technology and Star Martial Emperors are not particularly strong. However, if we can drag this out, we might be able to decide the outcome in one battle!
They're not afraid of the other side hesitating; what they're afraid of is the other side resorting to desperate measures!
However, as time went by, they realized that it seemed the other side was also deliberately stalling, which puzzled everyone in the fleet.
They looked around one by one, finally focusing their attention back on the person on the mountaintop, but unfortunately, he was shrouded in a hazy cloud and they couldn't see him clearly.
"What is that person inside doing that makes the remnants of the immortal path willingly wait?"
As the fleet grew larger and larger, a hearty laugh finally descended upon this world, landing heavily on the deck behind them.
"Gentlemen, what is the meaning of simply watching the show and letting those hundreds of people on the other side not dare to attack?"
The three turned around and saw the newcomer, all of them showing solemn expressions.
"Brother Ling? Your Steel Furnace World is so far away from here, yet you're the first to arrive. That's quite unexpected." The Star Martial Emperor of the Steel Furnace World is surnamed Ling. He is renowned in the Microcosm, known for his might and domineering nature, and all those of the same level present are wary of him.
After getting a general understanding of the situation, the other party promptly discussed it with them.
"We can't wait any longer. That person on the mountaintop has probably just broken through to the Void Realm and is busy refining his domain. While he's currently preoccupied, let's take care of our two old rivals, Yanling and Yuling, first!"
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
"You're mistaken."
The visitor carefully analyzed the pros and cons for them, from multiple perspectives.
"Firstly, we are now four against two, which gives us a great chance of winning. The opponent is hesitant to act rashly, and how long can they hold out under such a disadvantageous situation?"
"Furthermore, while your pollution of the light sphere is indeed powerful, and you have sealed off the Kongtong Realm to prevent them from escaping, take a closer look and you'll see that this spiritual realm has already begun to collapse. In a while, it will be completely destroyed. At that time, the sealing measures will fall apart on their own, and those leaders on the other side can run away whenever they want. It will be too late to catch them."
"Finally, as far as I know, there are more Star Martial Emperors on their way. If we don't strike first, even if we kill them, the spoils might not be ours. What's the point of working for someone else for nothing?"
This analysis really hits the nail on the head!
The four immediately discussed the matter and, seeing that the fleet behind them was quite large, they had no patience to wait any longer and decided to launch a full-scale attack!
Radio commands were transmitted to each level of combat unit, and then the main flagships began to charge up. The bright and dazzling muzzles of various guns rose up, and countless guns, including single-barreled, twin-mounted, vertically launched, and underground guns, locked onto the front in unison.
This lockdown is no small matter!
Even from a great distance, the members of the Yixian Alliance could sense the impending disaster. Their spiritual senses were frantically alarming, stimulating their nerves. It felt like countless needles were pricking them, so dense and numerous that they couldn't even count them all, and there was nowhere to hide.
Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling exchanged a glance, then stood in front of the crowd, revealing their Void Realm auras without reservation.
Faced with the firepower of dozens of fleets, the two of them felt apprehensive, but behind them were the last sparks of immortality and Lin Shan, who was refining his domain. They could only stand there and endure it!
This move was exactly what they wanted. With a command, the Cosmic Alliance opened fire, bombarding the central sacred mountain relentlessly!
Knock knock knock knock.
Looking around, the sky and earth were filled with thick smoke from artillery fire, the exhaust flames of missiles, and laser beams interspersed among them. The whole scene was a chaotic mess, and it looked extremely terrifying.
The saturation attack lasted for a full ten minutes!
After unleashing a barrage of ammunition, nearly half of it was used up, before they could finally see the enemy through the thick smoke. Hundreds of people stood in a row, all channeling their magic power to create a light barrier to block their ranged fire.
The leaders, Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling, were pale-faced, clearly showing signs of overexertion, and were hurriedly taking pills to recover.
They could have dodged 90% of the artillery fire, but they chose to take it all to protect them!
Because of the domain, cultivators at the Void Transformation stage were given the means to fight against overwhelming odds. All attacks were greatly reduced in power the moment they entered the domain, and the guidance and intervention became disordered, which allowed them to survive this round tenaciously.
However, the lack of casualties is not a good thing. On the contrary, it has depleted too much of our strength, and the real test is yet to come!
"All Star Warriors, step forward and give your opponent a final, dignified duel."
The four Star Martial Emperors spoke, and immediately countless tiny black dots flew out from each fleet, their numbers instantly reaching tens of thousands, and they lit up with lightsabers of all colors!
In space warfare, it is an ironclad rule that fleets must reserve half of their ammunition as a safety net, so at this moment they decisively drew their swords!
The Cosmic Light has no shortage of Star Warriors. They grow as fast as grass, but their lifespan is extremely short, like a fleeting moment. It doesn't matter how many die, the important thing is that there will never be another chance like this, so we must seize this opportunity to have a dignified battle.
Using technology as a supplement and star martial arts as the main means, the four star martial emperors also wanted to see how much fighting spirit the last spark of immortality had left after more than 100,000 years.
"kill!!!"
Boom boom boom boom—
One after another, flight boosters spewed out exhaust flames, mechanical external simulated armor covered them, individual soldier drones activated their circling mode, and the energy shields of the defense modules opened, like a meteor shower, rushing towards the central sacred mountain with unstoppable momentum!
As the Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling watched this scene, they suddenly felt relieved. They smiled at each other, and the scene that they had imagined countless times in their minds finally appeared.
At this moment, all they wanted was to have a good fight, and even if they died, they wanted to die with dignity!
The hundreds of people behind them were also inspired to fight. Especially when they knew they would die in a desperate situation, seeing thousands of Star Warriors crashing down with long tails of flame, like hellfire descending from the sky, the visual impact was so shocking that it brought out the primal throbbing in their hearts.
After hiding for so many years, this time I finally don't have to hide anymore.
If you're going to die, die a glorious death!
Snap snap snap snap~~~
Four leading comets crashed down, and Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling each took on two of them, opening their domains to envelop them, tacitly assigning them opponents.
The Star Martial Emperors didn't care. They had already calculated that the two patriarchs were in poor condition and had exhausted more than half of their energy, so it was the perfect time to beat them when they were down.
The scene was in complete chaos, with all sorts of bloody battles unfolding, leaving the rear fleet unable to intervene.
When both sides are stationed close together, long-range firepower is automatically shut down to prevent accidental casualties.
Inside the domain, the two patriarchs were crushing four Star Martial Emperors, while tens of thousands of Star Warriors were charging into the enemy lines outside, instantly scattering the Immortal Legacy Alliance.
Various magical spells, magical artifacts, and talismans flew around the scene. Star warriors fell like grass, while some experts moved through the crowd as if it were empty. The tragic scene was recorded in real time by the rear.
As time passed, the situation gradually became clear.
The Immortal Remnant Alliance started with several hundred people, but only about twenty remained, all of whom were tenacious Nascent Soul and Nascent Soul cultivators. The rest were all wiped out!
The battlefield during the Void Transformation stage also shifted from an initial fierce attack with the domain covering the enemy to a state of mutual cover and restraint as the enemy intentionally wore them down.
Once the Star Martial Emperor gets close, he can unleash a barrage of combos that leave his opponent helpless. This is especially true when the spiritual energy of a Kongtong Realm cultivator is depleted, making a war of attrition even more disadvantageous for cultivators.
Meanwhile, reinforcements continued to pour in from the outside world, with spaceships appearing out of thin air, until two more bursts of laughter rang out.
"Hahaha, how could you four be so eager to rush up and fight without waiting for us when you have such a good thing?"
"How can the final battle between Star Martial Arts and Immortal Path be complete without the two of us?"
In the battlefield, Ancestor Yanling and Ancestor Yuling looked up upon hearing the sound and saw two more Star Martial Emperors rushing over. Despair appeared in their eyes!
It seems the Immortal Remnant Alliance is doomed. After hiding for so long, it still can't escape this day.
"It's fate, there's no escaping it."
"Time and fate are constant principles."
Just as they were resigned to their fate with bitter smiles and were about to give up, a violent thunderstorm suddenly roared from behind!
The voice carried a majestic heavenly power, and all the immortal cultivators suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if it had accompanied them all the way, something they both loved and hated, something they couldn't resist.
Is this a heavenly tribulation?
In a daze, he raised his head and saw a Nine Heavens Thunder Pool flying into the sky, expanding to a radius of nearly a thousand miles, before crashing down on the battlefield!
"Gentlemen, I've been waiting for you. I've arrived." (End of Chapter)
