BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Since three days ago, thunderous noises had been echoing in the sky of Empyreal Terminus day and night. It was not the sound of cannon fire, but the sound of countless starships, cosmic armed shuttles, and crystal suits rushing to the battlefield through the clouds, as well as the sound of their falling

debris.

When the sunlight illuminated the planet, which was on the brink of destruction, the sky, which should’ve been blue, was swept away by crimson tides. In the hazy clouds, one could vaguely see the enormous and fuzzy shadows of countless starships, which were the natural phenomena when the spiritual

shield of a starship was triggered to the maximum and the radiation it released diffracted and spread in the atmosphere. It was like a man-made, cruel, and fatal rainbow.

In only three days, the tentacles of the fleet broke through the defense lines of the Empyrean Terminus Sector and reached the orbit of the planet.

Ifa fierce battle took place in the orbit of the planet, the worst outcome would be that the debris of the starship, which had lost all impetus, would be captured by the gravity of the planet and fall into it like headless flies.

‘Whether they were friend or foe, the debris of starships was mostly made of super alloys and special ceramics that could resist high temperature and high pressure. It was very difficult to burn them in the high-speed friction of the atmosphere. Often, they would turn into burning shooting stars and fall

as fast as lightning, becoming the biggest headache for the cities and military bases of the Immortal Cultivators on the ground.

Falling from the atmosphere and in the middle of all kinds of chaotic collisions at an extremely high speed, even the debris the size of a fist was enough to create a crater thousands of meters in diameter. The energy and blast resulting from the crash would be enough to turn everything within dozens of

kilometers into a living hell.

Every second, thousands of such debris would attack the surface of the planet and become the main targets for the air defense of Empyrean Terminus.

At this moment, one of the arsenals that were more than three kilometers long broke through the orbital defense of the imperial guards of the Star Ocean Imperium miraculously like a wounded bull and broke into the atmosphere. Under the high-speed friction, a bright, curved wall of fire was formed

around the warship.

The arsenal warship had completely lost control and impetus. All the crew members inside had been killed by the blast and the super radiation.

But that did not stop it from transforming its enormous mass and kinetic energy into the most terrifying damage.

Countless starships, space shuttles, and crystal suits of the Star Ocean Imperium rushed close and rained upon it, trying to dismantle it in the atmosphere.

However, its size and mass were too enormous. Even though it was riddled with holes, it showed no signs of disintegrating or being obliterated.

However, the head and the tail of the starship were under different stresses due to the different degree and quality of damage. Under the increasing acceleration, they finally exploded and broke into two halves.

The wreck at the head of the warship was moving faster and faster. Finally, it fell into the offshore of the Black Star Continent, raising a tsunami almost a hundred meters high and swallowing several towns along the coastline. The residents of the towns were not able to escape in time and suffered heavy

casualties.

The wreckage of the starship, on the other hand, fell toward the imperial city precisely.

Inside and outside of the imperial city, the dense fire net made of countless lines of fire was not enough to stop the enormous debris. Seeing that it was about to crash into the downtown area not far away from the imperial city, leaving a crater dozens of kilometers in diameter and a blast almost a

thousand kilometers in diameter and destroying a lot of important military territories, including the Senate, a streak of gold suddenly darted out of the imperial city and pierced into the debris of the starship in midair. After only one slash, the debris of the starship was slashed into two halves, followed

by almost a hundred glamorous slashes that were as fast as lightning and indistinguishable to the naked eye. The debris of the starship was all broken into pieces more than ten meters in diameter and finally destroyed by the air defense fire net, turning into brilliant fireworks.

In the middle of the fireworks, the gold brightness gradually solidified. In the eyes of billions of residents of the capital city, it turned into an awe-inspiring giant soldier and a golden lion.

“It’s… His Majesty!”

“His Majesty has taken action personally for our safety!”

“His Majesty slashed the debris of the enormous starship into pieces with only one slash. Strong. Absolutely strong!”

“Long live His Majesty! Long live the imperium!”

The billions of citizens, regardless of whether they were Immortal Cultivators or ‘origins’, were all cheering and jumping in joy. The desperation when they were about to die a moment ago had been forgotten. His Majesty, Li Jialing, had become the greatest hero and hope in their hearts.

LiJialing circled half a circle in the air on his Giant Soldier, letting more people in the capital city see his mighty and domineering image, before he swaggered back to the depths of the imperial city.

However, when he crawled out of the giant soldier, the little emperor’s face was extremely pale, as if he were in the middle of an urgent battle.

Of course.

The debris in the sky was falling faster and faster.

It meant that the battle zone was drawing close to the orbit of Empyrean Terminus from the periphery of the space zone. The members of the Star Glory Federation had even grasped the initiative of the battlefield and could launch debris at an extremely high initial speed toward the planet on purpose.

For now, it was just an ordinary wreck. Chances were that tomorrow or the day after, it would turn into a crystal bomb with a fuse and a lot of scraps, or an assault squad carrying a lot of airborne soldiers.

Without air superiority, the air defense on the ground was of little help.

Generally speaking, when a battle was fought to this point, it meant that the defending side had completely lost the initiative. From then on, the defending side could only hide on the planet and wait to be beaten up. They were bombarded by the enemy in vain.

It was also because Li Jialing had realized that the morale of his team was on the verge of collapse that he had to go to the battlefield in person and perform such a performance to boost the morale of his team.

However, such a performance could only be performed once or twice. It was impossible for him to circle around Empyrean Terminus all day and focus on blowing up the debris in the sky.

The little emperor shouted at the doctors who were going to examine him. He gritted his teeth and returned to the command center of the command center of the command center.

In the sky of the large communication platform in the command center, hundreds of shining light beams connected the periphery of the space zone, the planets nearby, the satellites, the geosynchronous orbit, and the command centers on and below the ground, so that the young emperor and the

leadership of the revolutionaries could learn the latest situation of the battle directly.

Right now, most of the light beams had been seriously jammed. White frost and serious distortions were appearing on them. Some of the commanders on the frontline were roaring in the picture before they were swallowed by darkness and lost connection.

“Reporting to the command center, the sixth fleet of the imperial guards has run out of the last round of ammunition. We are truly running out of supplies. Requesting backup immediately, even if it is just a supply ship, even if it is just a supply ship! Otherwise, we will completely lose our current defense

line in three hours!”

“Reporting to the command center, the No. 101 star fortress has been assaulted by the infiltration troops of the enemy. There are not many enemies, but a Giant God Soldier is wreaking havoc inside our army. Not good. The enemy is attacking our warehouse of crystals. Are those lunatics trying to trade a

Giant God Soldier for a star fortress so that they can break through our defense line?

“Your Majesty, the enemy’s firepower is too fierce and their attack is too resolute. We are all ready to sacrifice ourselves, but—but—”

After the light beams were twisted to the extreme, they fell into the swirl of flames or the abyss of darkness. The soldiers of the imperial guards in the pictures could only scream miserably and add insignificant details to the fierce battle.

Li Jialing’s face was gloomy. His sharp canine teeth pierced into his lips, but no blood was flowing out of his pale lips.

Maybe, the veins and nerves all over his body had been burnt by the fire of war.

Right then, bad news came from the underground, too. It couldn’t be worse.

“Uncle Emperor, bad news!”

With anxiety all over their faces, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen appeared on the mottled light beam and exclaimed, “Our network has been attacked on a large scale by the members of the Star Glory Federation. Not just the battle network in space, even the network connected to the command center on the

ground and all the mainframe crystal processors have been attacked on a large scale.

“Such fierce attacks and such delicate algorithms are simply unheard of. Even the two of us have never encountered them before.

“In the depths of the enemy’s fleet, there must be a super crystal processor or many other super crystal processors whose computational ability is far higher than ours. There must also be some kind of terrifying algorithm that combines the super crystal processors into a perfect whole.

“We—we don’t know how the enemy did it, either. In short, the best we can do is resist for a while longer. The defense line of the Spiritual Nexus will definitely be broken through by the enemy. By then, not only will a lot of starships, military bases, and towns with a population of tens of millions be

paralyzed, even the two of us might be corrupted by the enemy. That’s terrible. You’d better think of something!”

For the first time, fear was written all over the two kids’ faces. They stammered and sat back in the cockpit, their eyes closed and their teeth clenched, resisting the invasion of the Spiritual Nexus from the fleet of the Fuxi Clan.

Li Jialing grunted. His pale face seemed to have been smeared with arsenic, making it even paler.

Xiao Ming and Wen Wen—these two unbelievable information lifeforms were originally Li Jialing’s biggest trump cards. He had thought that, when the starships of the two sides were completely entangled and their Spiritual Nexus was seriously jammed and torn apart, these two little fellows could hack

into the starships of the people of the Star Alliance and paralyze the enemy on a large scale like viruses!

He didn’t expect that even Xiao Ming and Wen Wen would be helpless. It was even possible that they would be corroded and paralyzed by the enemy.

Damn them! What was their real face exactly?

“Your Majesty, it can’t be helped. The imperial guards have tried their best. After all, they are a second-rate troop that hasn’t been engaged in battle for hundreds of years. It is a miracle that they are able to survive the bombardment of the main force of the Sanctuary Alliance. The battlefield in the east is

dead silent, too. There is no news from the Marquis of Liaohai at all. I estimate that they will not be able to get out of the quagmire anytime soon. So…”

Li Linghai took half a step forward and whispered in Li Jialing’s ear, “Shall we?”
