Chapter 1370 War Outburst (2)^[a]

Very soon, images were relayed by the third defense line.

A fierce battle was raging in the second defense line.

The scenes from the battle were instantly transmitted. Shen Huang waved a hand, transforming the building into another space to better project the scenery. Although soundless, severed limbs were flying everywhere. Countless battle pet warriors were charging at the worms; one could almost hear their brave and angry roars.

Everybody wore somber expressions.

Su Ping looked at the cruel and bloody battlefield. Even though he had seen countless deaths in cultivation sites, he was still shocked by what he was seeing. All his pores were constricted; not because of fear, but of pure anger!

“What’s that?”

Long Yang pointed in a certain direction on the battlefield, where an array of Ascendant cultivators were fighting the worms. All of a sudden, the array seemed to have encountered an invisible wind blade. The array was simply cut apart, instantly. Some of the Ascendant cultivators died on the spot, and the others were jetted towards the worms like dumplings. They were quickly consumed.

Chi Huo couldn’t help but remark, “Did the worm kings take action? Impossible. Even creatures like them are unable to make a Titan formation collapse!” He clenched his fists with anger and anxiety.

Shen Huang too was very sullen. Su Ping had taught him the Titan Military Formation, and he shared it with the others; it was the best formation of Ascendant rank in the Golden Star Zone. It had also been introduced to other star zones.

Only a group of eight Ascendants were needed to unleash a power close to the Celestial State. They would be stronger than any of the top Heavenly Lords!

If eight Heavenly Lords teamed up, they could emulate a combat ability of the Celestial State. Even Shen Huang would be hard pressed to beat them quickly!

A mid-sized Titan Divine Array required a group of thirty-six people, with a more powerful enhancement. If exclusively formed with Ascendants, they could unleash the power of the Celestial State!

There were also large Titan Divine Arrays, which required seventy-two people in the group. They could even defeat Celestials!

It would be hard to kill them, but the average Celestial would have to escape!

The array seen by Shen Huang was a small Titan Divine Array of eight people, which was torn apart instantly. Not even Celestial State worm kings could manage doing such a thing, unless their leader was a special mutant.

“Should we deploy large Titan Divine Arrays?” one of the Celestials asked.

Shen Huang narrowed his eyes in silence.

The members of the large Titan Divine Arrays were considered as the last reserves.

They were strong, but they had to practice together for a long time to coordinate their divine power. The loss of any team member would be hard to bear.

If things go on like this, the second defense line won’t survive for more than five minutes! said a Celestial solemnly.

As crazy as it might have sounded, that was the truth; the worms’ attacks were too fierce. The second defense line was enough to fend off a Celestial cultivator for a thousand years. However, it seemed unable to hold for more than five minutes at the moment.

“I’ve already sent Kayafollet. If the alien hiding among the worms takes action, we can only initiate the final plan: Annihilation,” said Shen Huang solemnly.

Everybody was overtaken by shock. They knew that the Saint Heir from the Planet of Origin had been enslaved by Su Ping. After all, they had been there for years, and they had already obtained that intelligence.

Therefore, they were even more scared of Su Ping.

Shen Huang had sent Kayafollet to help… Was she the bait?

Su Ping stared at the projection in silence. His senses stretched into the void and observed the distant place through the Original Dao World.

However, he wasn’t planning on getting close. He could only watch from afar.

All of a sudden, his expression changed as he said, “Ask Kayafollet to come back.”

“Huh?”

What Su Ping said gave everyone a shock; they quickly turned to look at him.

Shen Huang asked in a daze, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s the alien,” Su Ping replied with gloom, “I detected a powerful aura lurking among the worms. The worm tide is just a disguise; it must have been the alien who tore the fortresses apart.”

While looking at the projection, a mid-sized Titan Divine Array fell apart all of a sudden. Dozens of Ascendants were like collapsing ants as they moved toward the worms. They summoned their battle pets, but the struggle didn’t last for long; the worms overwhelmed them. A mid-sized Titan Divine Array—which was as strong as a Celestial cultivator-was destroyed, just like that!

Based on the power waves he had just detected, Su Ping’s expression took a turn for the worse. It was none other than the alien taking action.

The expressions of all the experts present changed; they agreed on Su Ping’s statement. If it wasn’t the alien who could kill a Celestial with ease, how could the worm kings achieve that?

All of them were compelled to look at Shen Huang with grief on their faces.

Annihilation!

It was the plan they had discussed to cope with the most dangerous scenario.

The alien among the worms had always been the problem; it finally revealed itself. The Annihilation Plan had been prepared for it. However, aside from the alien, they would be annihilated too…

“Everyone, get ready!” Shen Huang said in a low voice.

They exchanged looks; not a single word was said; they knew that such a day would eventually arrive.

Although Celestials couldn’t enter the battlefield because they were scared of the alien, the latter had already led the worms to their base. They had to fight back; there was no time to consider anything else.

According to the Annihilation Plan, the eight Celestials were going to establish a Titan Divine Array, activate an ancient Mysterious Realm, and send the alien there.

The ancient Mysterious Realm had been recorded as a forbidden land by the Federation. It was said to lead somewhere beyond the universe. It was so dangerous that even Celestials would think carefully before venturing inside. A few Celestials went to explore when it was just found, but two of them died; the place had been marked as forbidden ever since then. It was a taboo even among Celestials.

The place was eventually forgotten by the public since no one paid it any more attention.

That place would be used once more, but not for exploration or development; rather, it would be harnessed as a weapon to deal with the disaster.

The Celestials from the other star zones had been studying the Titan Divine Array since they joined the alliance. They cooperated and managed to deploy the array.

However, the level of enhancement wasn’t as great as would happen with the arrays powered by Ascendants. The small Titan Divine Array made with eight Celestials allowed them to crush any Celestial; even so, they weren’t confident of taking down a universe dominator. Considering the power they were able to unleash, their impression was that they merely reached the peak of the Celestial State.

Maybe if they could deploy a large Titan Divine Array made of seventy-two Celestials they could defeat a universe dominator.

But where could they find that many Celestials?

“I heard that Mr. Su helped Shen Huang return to the Celestial State. If we are unlucky and die in battle, we hope that Mr. Su can help us recover our Celestial bodies as per the agreement.”

The others also looked at him eagerly. They were willing to take the risk partly because they wouldn’t really die. At worst, they would only lose their Celestial bodies. Su Ping was going to say something, but then suddenly narrowed his eyes. “Wait a second.”
