Chapter 824: The Warship Has Come To Aid, Gaps Between Civilization, Is That So?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Firmament Star did not anticipate Planet Zi to interfere in the war.
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial was beginning to realize just how tricky the entire situation was.
At that moment, Li Feng had raised his sword with a cold grimace on his face. He was prepared to finish off the injured Sword Daoist Celestial.
“My fellow sword cultivator, you’re worthy enough for me to remember you. Tell me your name, and I shall erect a plaque in your honor after my return.”
“I have no name. The sword bears my identity!”
The Sword Daoist Celestial replied coldly.
“Very well. Prepare to die!”
Li Feng lifted his hand and was prepared to swing it at the Sword Daoist Celestial.
At that moment, a ray of light beam was shot from a distance.
The golden beam traversed through a vast distance of space, ferrying with it a terrifying amount of power. It almost caught Li Feng by surprise, and he hastily swung his sword towards the light beam.
“Mad Sword, Empyrean Desolation!”
Li Feng retaliated with a devastating sword ray.
The attack was what he had used to defeat the Sword Daoist Celestial. However, the light beam managed to pierce through Li Feng’s sword ray and struck him directly on his chest. The impact blasted Li Feng away before the light beam continued to ravage through dozens of warships.
A series of fireworks ensued in the dark space.
The aftermath of their shipwrecks floated mindlessly across space. It was a terrifying sight.
When the light dissipated, everyone was still in shock.
“W-What kind of power was that?”
“There were no Daoist patterns, which meant that the offense was forged purely using energies. What insane person is capable of unleashing such an extraordinary amount of energy?”
The cultivators stared towards the source of that light beam.
A dark, gigantic warship was approaching from the distance. The hull of the ship was carved with the markings of Daoist patterns, and an enormous dragon head was mounted on its bow.
The mouth of the dragon contained the hull of the canon.
Leftover energies were still dissipating from the opening.
Visibly, the light beam was shot out from the opening of that canon.
“It’s a warship!”
“What a terrifying warship! That attack probably contained more power than a Minor Daoist Celestial.”
“Which civilization does it belong to?”
Everyone at the scene was puzzled.
Following that, the jaws of Daoist Celestial Luo Shui and several others dropped when they noticed two familiar figures standing on the deck of that warship.
“Haha. It looks like we arrived just in time.”
“That shot is enough to kill even the strongest of Minor Daoist Celestials. I’m sure that person is unquestionably dead.”
A burly middle-aged man and a bearded elder stood triumphantly as they indulged in the crowd’s gaze.
“It’s Crimson Sun and the Formation Daoist Celestial!”
The Daoist Celestials of Firmament Star exclaimed in shock.
There were still many questions left unanswered in their mind, and they were still in shock.
“Where did they get this warship from?”
Daoist Celestial Luo Shui and the others were puzzled.
After all, they were oblivious to the construction of this high-grade warship.
“Impossible. The cultivation standards of Firmament Star are far from developed for them to develop a warship of this caliber. What in the world is going on?!”
The Argent King was in disbelief.
Having waged war against Firmament Star for so long, he was familiar with how developed his enemy was.
How could they have invented such a warship?
The warship was far more remarkable than even the most impressive warship in Blood Origin Star. If this belonged to them, they would have used it a long time ago.
Could Firmament Star have gotten this from somewhere else?
The Argent King was not the only one in shock.
The purple-robed youngster observing from a warship was also caught by surprise. “This warship is as remarkable as the high-performance warship we have in Planet Zi. In fact, it might even be stronger.”
How did Firmament Star get their hands on such a warship?!
“Perhaps I stand to gain more from this war than I expected.”
The purple-robed youngster was now excited. If he could somehow obtain the architectural information of this warship, it would be a great achievement for Planet Zi.
“Sword Daoist Celestial, are you alright?”
The Daoist Celestials immediately rushed to the Sword Daoist Celestial’s aid.
In the meantime, the Blood Tribe members rushed to their warships. The previous attack from the Firmament Star’s warship had made the Blood Kings incredibly wary.
“B*stards!”
A furious person emerged from the shipwrecks.
Li Feng dashed out from the shipwrecks with golden lights hovering around him. They were the manifestation of a mythical rune.
“Are you kidding me? He’s not dead yet!”
The Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial was dumbfounded.
“Look, that golden light is protecting him. It must be some remarkable defensive treasure.” The Formation Daoist Celestial guessed.
“In that case, let’s give him another shot.”
The Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial snorted.
Then, light rays began to converge at the jaw of the dragon as it loaded up a tremendous amount of energy.
“You think you can still hit me?”
Li Feng mocked.
Despite his demeanor, he was feeling rather uneasy. Never would he have thought that Firmament Star would have a warship of such power. If it had not been for his runic defensive treasure, he would have died from that energy blast.
Li Feng vanished into a ray of light and dashed towards the warship.
At that instant, a golden energy barrier appeared around the warship.
When Li Feng crashed into the energy barrier, a devastating shockwave ensued.
“Besides its offensive abilities, the ship’s defensive structure is just as remarkable! Where the hell did Firmament Star get this warship from?”
Li Feng was clueless.
Meanwhile, the canon had finished charging up.
Just before Li Feng was prepared to dodge its attack, an enormous Buddha Avatar appeared behind him and closed both its palm onto Li Feng.
The Buddhist Daoist Celestial made his move.
Two giant golden palms crushed the shield around Li Feng.
That attack did not hurt Li Feng at all, but fortunately, that was not the Buddhist Daoist Celestial’s intention. His goal was to restrict his opponent’s movement.
While Li Feng was stuck between the Buddha Avatar’s palms and rendered immobile, the cannon on the warship discharged its power.
A loud explosion followed as the cannon landed another direct hit on Li Feng’s runic shield, blasting him into the distance once more.
This time, the runic shield was broken, and the remaining energies of the cannon blast destroyed half of his body.
“D*mn it, d*mn it, d*mn it!”
Li Feng’s eyes reddened from rage.
Then, he retrieved a medicinal pill and swallowed it whole.
To everyone’s dismay, his previously injured body began to heal rapidly. Within seconds, his physical condition was back to its previous state.
“Holy sh*t. This is cheating.”
“What medicinal pill was that?!”
“Is that something an Immortal civilization is capable of producing?”
The Daoist Celestials were helpless.
They could not find anything remotely close to that in Firmament Star.
That medicinal pill alone marked the huge gap in power that existed between Firmament Star and an Immortal civilization.
Not only did the Immortal civilizations outnumber them in terms of stronger cultivators, but they also outshone them in many other areas. For example, cultivation techniques, alchemy, weaponsmithing, runic techniques, and more.
“You destroyed my runic treasure and forced me into consuming my life-saving Daoist pill. You b*stards… deserve to die!”
Li Feng swung his sword forward.
His powerful sword qi struck the shield that protected the warship.
Suddenly, the entire warship trembled.
“This is bad. The warship has fired its main cannon twice, and it has used up a large amount of power. If he continues striking the shield, I’m afraid it won’t hold up for long,” the Formation Daoist Celestial said solemnly.
“Let’s retreat first.”
Daoist Celestial Luo Shui suggested.
“Alright.”
With that, the warship steered towards another direction and was preparing to leave.
Unfortunately, they came to a stark realization that they were already heavily surrounded by the Blood Tribe warships. The warships fired their cannons as rays of energy beams struck incessantly on the Firmament Star’s warship.
“Trying to leave? Pathetic!”
The Argent King snorted coldly. “I believe most of Firmament Star’s strongest cultivators are here. Once we finish all of you, nothing will stop us from taking Firmament Star!”
“Oh, is that so?’
A voice echoed through space.
