Chapter 171: Chapter 171: The Brilliance of the Rocket Crossbow【Fourth Update】_1
Boom...Boom!
The force unleashed by the volley from the sixty thousand giant cannons was so potent that even a God Position powerhouse couldn't produce.
In the blink of an eye, even the void started to collapse, forming terrifying black holes that seemed to threaten to annihilate everything.
The Xuantian Spirit Shield and several other defensive formations vibrated intensely under the blow.
However, it was a good thing they had the complete defense of the Spiritual God Tool at their disposal. Otherwise, they would have suffered severe casualties from this wave of attack alone, having their defenses torn apart.
"Every single Spiritual God Tool is indeed a treasure of the empire."
Chu Yuan displayed neither happiness nor sadness on his face when he saw that their attack didn't break through the enemy's line.
"Sun Moon Light Wheel, Darkness Descends!"
Chu Yuan would not allow the enemy to fend off his attacks with only a giant shield.
Under his control, the Sun Moon Light Wheel first burst out with a dazzling radiance, then was swallowed up by darkness. The sun and the moon merged, rotating and cutting speedily, and forged ahead powerfully towards the Xuantian Spirit Shield.
Although the Xuantian Spirit Shield was a powerful Spiritual God Tool, the combined Sun Moon Light Wheel could unleash a force reminiscent of a royal artifact.
The sound of the Xuantian Spirit Shield's light barrier being torn and collapsing echoed. The best defense is offense. Against the Sun Moon Light Wheel, the shield's light barrier didn't last long before it was slam open.
"Not good, the Xuantian Spirit Shield has been breached!"
King Xi Yang's face darkened as the Xuantian Spirit Shield, dim and lightless from the heavy blow, transformed into a small shield and returned to his hand.
"Fire again!"
Seeing that the enemy's Xuantian Spirit Shield has been breached, the sixty thousand divine machines cannons were activated once again!
Without the protection of the Xuantian Spirit Shield, their defensive formation was torn apart in a matter of moments. The devastating tide of sixty thousand streams hammered on the rear of the Hanging Sky Dynasty's forces; countless soldiers were blasted to ashes.
Although they had erected fortresses, these were demolished after only a few rounds of assaults, completely destroyed.
In the face of such a sudden and fierce onslaught, the Hanging Sky Dynasty was dazed. They had dominated the Hanging Sky Domain for well over 9000 years, easily crushing any dynasty they encountered. They didn't know how to respond to an attack of this scale.
For a while, they were at a loss for what to do.
"The Great Wu Empire came prepared indeed!"
King Xi Yang, using his God-Position power to repeatedly destroy the energy pillars attacking him, muttered in awe, "Had I not been prepared, our losses would have been even greater. I cannot allow them to continue their bombardment, we must push forward and engage with them directly!"
Despite the terrifying power of the giant cannons, their effectiveness was drastically reduced at close range.
"King Yi Wei, King Yan Shan, lead the charge!"
King Xi Yang once again mitigated the onslaught with the Xuantian Spirit Shield. This wasn't a large-scale defense, but rather a small-scale measure to shield their forces while they advanced.
Though the Hanging Sky Dynasty had been stunned by the attack, after regaining their composure, the fifty million-strong army of the Hanging Sky Dynasty and the hundreds of millions of soldiers from the Da Xi Dynasty began to march steadily towards the forces of the Great Wu Empire.
Vuvuzelas...
The desolate sound of horn echoed...
"Continue the bombardment with the Divine Cannons. The five army corps, the Beast Corps, the Divine Martial Corps, launched an attack and engage them in hand-to-hand combat!"
Chu Yuan ordered, the Great Wu Empire also began a counterattack, with tens of millions of soldiers advancing in perfect synchronization, extending the battle line and charging towards the Hanging Sky Dynasty's forces with invincible belief.
If one were to look down from the high vault of the sky, they would see two massive armies heading towards each other like two mighty currents.
A battlefield with hundreds of thousands of soldiers was terrifying enough. The concentration of their vitality and energy could create a divine and demonic domain. However, now billions of soldiers were engaged in battle. This terrifying onslaught was such that even a deity-like figure wouldn't be able to make much of a difference.
The thick murderous aura from both sides mixed with the blood energy of hundreds of millions of soldiers shot up towards the stars!
That's why Chu Yuan chose to stage the battlefield on the Water Stream Plain instead of in Qianzhou.
The sheer scope of a war involving hundreds of millions of soldiers, the vastness of the battle lines and the extensive combat, would've plunged the whole of Qianzhou into war.
Fleeing soldiers would scatter across the province, leading to devastating chaos in Qianzhou.
Staging the battle on the Water Stream Plain, Chu Yuan could attack as he pleased.
"Martial Emperor, I know how powerful you are, but with me here, you won't be able to intervene in the battle below."
King Xi Yang looked at Chu Yuan on the Ancient Emperor War Chariot and unearthed.
He knew that if a powerhouse like Chu Yuan fought in the battlefield, specializing in killing high-end powerhouses, it would cause devastating damage. But he also knew that Chu Yuan wouldn't allow him to engage in close combat, because no one else could stop him.
This was the mutual deterrence of the highest tier warrior of both sides.
"My grand army is enough to tear yours apart," said Chu Yuan with confidence.
"Really? I'm looking forward to it," replied King Xi Yang as he looked out over the battlefield.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Wipe out the Great Wu Army, earn your glory!"
"Dare to provoke the Hanging Sky Dynasty, you are treading on a path to certain death!"
Despite the bombardment of the giant cannon, the Hanging Sky Dynasty's forces exploded with a sky-reaching killing intent. Besieged by the cannons for so long, their true power was restrained, and this suppression pushed their rage to its limits.
"Those who offend Great Wu, however distant, would be annihilated!"
The Great Wu Army displayed no fear, for they all saw the Martial Emperor Chu Yuan in the sky. As long his strength stood unremitting, their morale would not crumble.
Their battle cries shook the sky.
The weakest of the Hanging Sky Dynasty's soldiers were also in the Soul Forging Realm, but the troops of Great Wu Empire were of the same caliber. There was no huge gap between the soldier's levels.
Only the soldiers of the Da Xi Dynasty were significantly weaker.
King Xi Yang naturally saw this.
What he was most confident about was the well over a hundred warriors in the Soul Forging Realm on his side. Evidently, according to his intelligence, the Great Wu had very few warriors in the Soul Forging Realm.
"Rocket crossbows!"
The biggest advantage of Chu Yuan's side was the equipment forged in his System Space.
The rocket crossbow, like a miniature handheld cannon, was equipped on the forearm, and the arrows were different from those of the God Destroying Crossbow, instead resembling the rockets that Chu Yuan remembered from his past.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Before the two armies even came close to each other, hundreds of millions of rocket crossbows were fired. Like a sky net covering the heaven, they went over the entire rear of the Hanging Sky Dynasty's army.
Compared to the God Destroying Crossbow, the rocket crossbow's penetration power was much weaker. A few wouldn't pose any threat to a top warrior, but when hundreds of millions exploded simultaneously, even a warrior in the Soul Forging Realm would be killed by the blast.
The rocket crossbows covered the sky and directly plowed through the Hanging Sky Dynasty's army, creating an immense fire cloud that enveloped them.
The explosions triggered waves of devouring fire clouds that were beautiful like a firework display!
