Capítulo 1034: Chapter 18: Decisive Battle at Burial Sky Lake (Part 3)
Ever since accepting the complete Bloodline inheritance of the Lion Clan, Lu Hong has comprehended nurous uses and mysteries of the Bloodline Power during this period.
At this mont, Lu Hong, who possesses the Lion Bloodline, although currently at the Early-stage Earth Realm, if he unleashes his full battle prowess, he can match a God Lord Level. While not necessarily able to defeat one, remaining undefeated is definitely not a big problem.
Of course, those God Lords with particularly deep foundations are an exception. Currently, the limit Lu Hong can handle is rely so younger generation who have been in the God Lord realm for less than ten thousand years.
Feeling the mountain-like pressure on his body dissipate in an instant, the Star Sea army looked fervently at Lu Hong. This is their Star Lord, slaying enemy Heavenly Gods as easily as eating and drinking water.
“Star Lord is invincible!”
“Star Lord is invincible!”
“Star Lord is invincible!”
In an instant, the Star Sea army erupted in enthusiastic cheers, their morale soaring, and launched the first round of Divine Artifact bombardnt at the Eighteen Realms’ army which was less than a hundred ters away.
Previously, they did not unleash it because they were oppressed by the Skill of that Mortal Realm Celestial, unable to activate it.
Although now free from the oppression of the Heavenly God, the distance of the approaching Eighteen Realms already made it impossible for the Star Sea army to charge and gather montum.
As a round of Divine Artifact bombing occurred, the entire army quickly ford a formation under the command of Nuoshan, establishing a defensive posture.
Seeing the divine-level killing device light up behind the Star Sea army, without waiting for orders from Mr. Lu, the other five Heavenly Gods acted in unison, unleashing Bloodline Power, forming a shield to protect the Eighteen Realms’ army from above.
Naturally, Lu Hong would not allow them to succeed easily; he raised his hand and punched out.
The violent force blasted out like tangible sound waves, ruthlessly smashing down on the shield ford by Bloodline Power.
The shield released by the joint efforts of the five Mortal Realm Celestials was like a thin sheet of paper, easily pierced by Lu Hong’s punch.
After breaking the shield’s protection, the power of the punch did not diminish and it fell toward the center of the Eighteen Realms’ formation.
Lord Lu had not expected that the opponent could so easily tear through the defensive skill released by five Heavenly Gods working together. It was too late to intercept the attack.
He could only watch helplessly as the force of the punch landed in the army’s center.
With the punch landing, the entire Eighteen Realms formation exploded like a skyward nuclear bomb. Just one punch eradicated the Eighteen Realms soldiers within a thousand-ter radius, as well as three nearby Mortal Realm Celestials, reducing them to nothingness.
This punch’s power was already restrained by Lu Hong. If Lu Hong had unleashed his power fully, even the Star Sea army beneath him would have been completely wiped out.
Witnessing the power of this punch, Lord Lu instinctively gulped, realizing that the opponent’s Heavenly God was definitely one of the top in the Nine Domains in the Earth Realm, possibly even a half-step God Lord Level.
This person sneaking to the battlefield’s edge clearly intended to open a path from here.
No! Lord Lu must not let the Nine Domains’ sche succeed!
With a jolt of determination, Lord Lu, without hesitation, sent out a distress signal toward the central command.
The release of this signal ant that an overwhelmingly powerful presence had appeared in this battlefield area, hoping that central command could dispatch more Heavenly God combat strength for support.
Seeing the signal coming from the distant southern direction, so commanders in the central command instinctively furrowed their brows.
The lead commander inquired, “What? Is it a request for aid from the southern direction?”
Another commander nodded, “Yes, they seem to have encountered an unbeatable opponent.”
“Which battle zone in the south?”
“The most peripheral battle zone, commanded by Lu Dan.”
“Lu Dan?”
The Heavenly Gods of the Eighteen Realms were many, and each of the eighteen realm kings had independently ford an army. A commander only understood the Heavenly Gods under their own realm king. They weren’t familiar with the Heavenly Gods from other realm king’s forces.
Upon hearing the inquiry from the grand appointed commander, the commander under the eighteenth realm king imdiately replied, “Lu Dan is a General under the eighteenth realm king, with strength at the Mid Stage Earth Realm. For him to be unable to resolve it and send a distress signal, they must have encountered Earth Realm Late-stage Heavenly God strength.”
Upon hearing this, the grand commander nodded slightly, “If that’s the case, then send an Earth Realm Late-stage Heavenly God to assist, from your Eighteenth Legion.”
“Understood!”
The Eighteenth Legion’s commander, having received the order, imdiately issued the directive, dispatching an Earth Realm peak Heavenly God to rush to the most peripheral southern battlefield.
After Lu Hong’s strike annihilated a large number of Eighteen Realms soldiers, he did not act further, his gaze rely locked onto the remaining three Eighteen Realms Heavenly Gods.
As long as they didn’t act, Lu Hong also refrained from actively intervening in the battlefield.
Before the battle, Lu Hong and Nuoshan had discussed it; although the Six Divisions of Star Sea are complete, the divisions are too independent, experiencing almost zero joint combat operations. Star Sea is a whole, and while the Six Divisions appear independent, they must not be too isolated. The divisions need both competition and cooperation to maintain a good developntal relationship, ensuring they don’t rely solely on Lu Hong, becoming the connective tissue.
Thus, this battle was also the first joint operation since the establishnt of the Six Divisions. Of course, the absence of the Beast Race didn’t have a significant impact.
The fundantal purpose of Nuoshan’s command in this battle was to quickly consolidate the power of the Six Divisions through this battle, honing them into a true group. If Lu Hong were to obliterate all the Eighteen Realms soldiers, it would defeat the battle’s primary purpose of participating in the war.
Star Sea’s participation in this engagent was their duty and obligation, but with or without Star Sea, the essence of the battle was unaffected. Those battles ant to be won would not be lost for the absence of Star Sea; those that couldn’t be won wouldn’t be saved even with Star Sea’s involvent.
So, since they were ‘playing soy sauce’ — participating as part of Star Sea’s duty and obligation — they ought to gain so benefits for themselves.
Thus, in Nuoshan’s view, this battle was an excellent opportunity for them to train troops, especially since they were assigned to the peripheral battlefield, aligning perfectly with their intentions.
Aside from Lu Hong’s battlefield zone, there were similar zones on both sides, each sharing common characteristics: extrely far from the central battle zone, with Heavenly God combat forces only mutually cautious and without intentions of engaging in a life-and-death battle.
The real massacre and bloodshed were occurring only among the ground forces.
However, as the approach to the Central Battle Zone continued, the confrontations between the two armies grew increasingly intense.
The frequency of engagents between Heavenly Gods also rose markedly.
In the heart of the central core battle zone, it had already beco a living hell.
Ordinary soldiers no longer engaged in mutual killings, leaving the stage entirely to the most elite Heavenly Gods of both armies.
Divine Lords were dueling, countless peak Earth Realm Heavenly Gods were also fiercely battling within this zone.
It had indeed beco a divine battlefield.
At this mont, within the Second Battle Zone, the Luo Family’s Jinghong Guard was like an unstoppable sharp blade, tearing open a massive breach in the Eighteen Realms’ formation.
Countless soldiers surged in wildly, following closely behind the Jinghong Guard, continuously advancing toward the depths of the Eighteen Realms’ formation.
anwhile, the Eighteen Realms side continuously dispatched their rear army to press against the advancing Jinghong Guard, mounting a resistance.
Under normal circumstances, battles with more than a million troops often last long; the armies frequently employ a rotation system to reduce mutual casualties. Frontline soldiers are replaced by rear forces after a period of killing, which is one reason why two large armies can engage in prolonged conflict.
But today, although both the Nine Domains and the Eighteen Realms deployed all their troops, exceeding a total number of fifty billion, there was none of the usual deadlock.
The troops at the front lines had long been inford there was no possibility of rotation. Aside from advancing and fighting, the only other possibility was death on the ground.
Thus the battle’s pace was fast, and to accelerate the war’s progress, from the outset, all front line troops in central areas comprised elite forces nurtured by the major power families. This is also why in the first wave of encounters, the Eighteen Realms did not easily tear through the Nine Domains’ army defense as they usually did.
