Chapter 2920: Defeated

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although the sea of stars was vast, the distance of millions of kilometers was covered in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, the screams of the nobles had yet to rush out of their throats. Ding Lingdang, Bai Xingjian, and Lei Chenghu's three fleets converged from different directions like three torrents of steel and crashed into the collapsing battle formations of the nobles.

For a moment, countless bridges made of death rays were established between the starships. The chaotic magnetic field resulting from the collision of the high-speed particle stream and the spiritual shield dispersed like a colorful mist of rainbows. The mist of death was extremely corrosive. In the blink of an eye, thousands of starships were riddled with holes and bumps. Shocking holes were even appearing on them. A lot of crew members, assets, and fuel were spurting out of the holes, as if countless tentacles of flames were struggling and cramping helplessly.

The three fleets on the attacking side had completely different combat styles. The coalition fleet of the arsonists was like a ghost saber that was as thin as a cicada's wing or as invisible as a shadow. They cut into the most vulnerable joints of the four branches of the Heaven's Origin Fleet and dissected the Heaven's Origin Fleet layer by layer like a butcher dissecting a bull, exposing the large maintenance ships and the comprehensive supply ships to the fierce firepower of the follow-up fleets. The faster arsenals and destroyers were also lost. Under the intense interference of the spiritual energy, they could not tell where the star and the Jade Cauldron Planet were and did not know where to

run to.

Ding Lingdang and the hundreds of Giant God Soldiers behind her marched into the densest area of the starships of the fleet unreasonably and covered themselves with the enormous size of the starship. They reached the bridge, the arsenal, and the engine compartment like burning iron chopsticks that had been stabbed into tofu. In less than half a minute, they could disable a starship and turn it into a cold, dark coffin. Then, they would break out of the shell and rush to the next starship.

It was a rarely-seen splendid scene in the epic battle in the center of the sea of

stars.

The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators of the fleet were all dumbfounded by Ding Lingdang's bravery and craziness.

Even though they could gather the largest number of Giant God Soldiers, who would be willing to throw the ultimate weapons that could not be mass-produced into such a crazy battle? Besides, hundreds of Giant God Soldiers were fighting on the street inside their starship. No matter what the outcome was, their fleet would be at a disadvantage!

Therefore, without a leader, none of the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, and the Giant God Soldiers of the fleet were willing to confront Ding Lingdang and the other Giant God Soldiers of the federation face to face. Instead, they tried their best to run away. Then, they ran into Lei Chenghu's iron plate made of iron and death rays. Different from Bai Xinghe's sharpness and Ding Lingdang's craziness, Lei Chenghu was in the most formal and rigorous formation. He taught the nobles a profound lesson about the battle of the sea of stars, the invincible imperial army, and the real Immortal Cultivators! Their sprinting speed was as fast as Bai Xinghe's, and their firepower was so intimidating that it almost eclipsed the entire sea of stars. However, every salvo of Lei Chenghu's fleet was aimed precisely. Their hit rate was shockingly high, and they were determined to carry out their orders. In order to maintain the order of the battle formation, they did not intend to dodge even when they discovered the starships of the nobles on their way. They simply crashed into the starships, even if they were to be burnt into brilliant fireballs.

Earthshaking crystal bullets and high-energy particles fell upon the battle formation of the fleet like a torrential rain, as if countless golden swords were slashing the fluffy snow. The weird distortion resulting from the continuous explosions of starships was like the reflection of colorful diamonds. After only one round of collisions, the fleet was already on the verge of total collapse.

Many starships had lost their courage to fight. Their turrets were all drooping, but they were sending all their fuel to the spiritual shields and the power units, trying to run away. Some of them even crashed into each other in order to find the best route to run away.

More crystal suits and space shuttles were planning to fight the enemy for a while, but they were dumbfounded to find that the mothership had run away without caring about their lives at all.

Losing the mothership equaled to losing the hope of survival. The nobles who wanted to cry but had no tears could only curse and surrender obediently. They turned off most of the units around them and minimized the reaction of their spiritual flames, while they sent out 'surrender' signals in the public channel, waiting for the verdict of fate.

Several Giant God Soldiers that belonged to the four major families had been deployed to the battlefield. But when they looked at the unstoppable fleet of Bai Xinghe and the arsonists, the crazy Ding Lingdang, and the expedition army of the federation, and the awe-inspiring fleet of Lei Chenghu behind them, as well as their allies who were fleeing in all directions, they all retreated after pondering for a moment and devoted their precious fuel to their motherships.

Are you kidding me? After only one round of fighting, the outcome of the battle could not have been clearer. The soldiers were already on the verge of collapse. The chaos in front of them could not be cleaned up even if Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi was resurrected. If they did not run away, would they still be waiting to be buried together with the fleet of the Flying Star Sector, which had congenital deformities and postnatal deficiencies?

The firepower of the attackers even extended to the center of the battle formation of the Heaven's Return Team, which was theoretically the safest flagship

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

Inside the flagship, explosions that sounded like deep-water bombs were echoing nonstop. Most of the soldiers were running away in fear. Some of them even activated the gel that looked like jelly and hid inside like ostriches, hoping to improve their odds of survival when their starship was blown up. They were already prepared to be captives.

Shrieks that could tear the sky apart echoed inside the meeting.

"What do I do? The enemy's firepower is too fierce. What is going on?"

"Get out of the way! Why are there so many starships blocking our way? Marshal Song, how are you commanding them? Ask them to move aside so that we can evacuate safely!"

"This is all your Song family's fault. This is your Song family's territory. Your intelligence is wrong. You have to be responsible. You have to take full responsibility for the crushing defeat in this battle. When we return to the Yellow Dragon Domain and return to His Majesty, this marquis will definitely give you a piece of my mind. Just you wait. Just wait for this marquis!"

"Deputy General Song, Deputy General Song, what exactly are you doing? Aren't you the commander-in-chief of the Heaven's Return Fleet and the supreme commander of the Jade Cauldron Battle? Quickly think of a way to send us back to Jade Cauldron Planet. No, directly return to the Yellow Dragon World. Otherwise, watch out for your head!"

Dozens of generals, ministers, and lords of the Yun family, the Li family, and the Dongfang family turned their attention to the Song family and Song Bugui. They vented their fear of Lei Chenhu and the federal soldiers on Song Bugui and saved some of their face.

Even the future candidate of the Song family, Song Lixing, was like a half-dead piranha that had been stranded on the shore. He collapsed in the captain's seat, breathing heavily, grinding his teeth, and glaring at Song Bugui with hatred.

"…Yes. I will do my best to escort you back to your hometown safely."

Faced with the storm of saliva, Song Bugui was as emotionless as before. He bowed deeply and retreated with his ass in the air.

"Father!"

In the shadows of the pathway, the eldest son and dozens of other guys who were wearing the uniforms of the soldiers but had bulging temples like killing machines popped up.

BOOM! Another explosion came from the rear of the flagship, but this time, it did not seem to be caused by cannon fire. Instead, it seemed to be caused by internal damage, resulting in a violent internal explosion in the engine compartment. The flagship immediately slowed down. Song Bugui and his son were well prepared. They stood firmly on the deck like nails.

The nobles and generals in the meeting room were caught unprepared. They all exclaimed in anger.

Holding the cabin wall, Song Bugui was standing next to a round virtual cabin window. On the 3D light beam, the stars and the cannon fire were shining brilliantly, making him look extremely gloomy.

"… can't accept this!"

With a bitter smile, Song Bugui looked at the blood-stained sea of stars outside the window and mumbled, "Juncai, do you believe it? If the fleet of the Heaven's Origin Sector is a real fleet united by military orders, with the fearless and invincible spirit when the Black Star Emperor established the Imperium of

True Human Beings a thousand years ago, we actually stand a chance in this battle.

"Our starships are not worse than the enemy's, and the quantity and quality of the Giant God Soldiers are not very different, either. In regard to the critical factors such as the intensity of ammunition, fuel, and spiritual shield, our starships are even better than the enemy's. The three parts of the enemy, namely Lei Chenhu, Bai Xinghe, and the reinforcements of the federation, also have fatal problems such as the lack of teamwork and the subtle gaps between them. The enemy is merely bluffing and concealing their weakness with the craziness of desperadoes.

"Therefore, if I had 100% control over the fleet of the Heaven's Origin Sector, without the annoying pigs and dogs, and with the entire army carrying out my will to the end, even a mediocre man such as myself might be able to defeat the legendary 'God of War'!

"It's truly… a pity. Leading a vast army in a grand battle formation, clashing with a famous general like Lei Chenghu in the most brilliant sparks in an open and straightforward, thunderous confrontation. Dying under the bombardment of his billions of cannons is the highest honor for an Immortal Cultivator and a professional soldier.

"I'd rather die a glorious death than live a miserable life…

"Father, why do you say that?"

The eldest son stepped forward and unsheathed half of his battle saber. He declared resolutely, "A good bird chooses a tree to nest in. It's not too late yet. Chances are that you will be promoted even further!"

"It's too late. You don't understand. Everything is too late. Since the moment the four electors stole the supreme power of the imperium hundreds of years ago, everything has been too late. You don't understand. You don't understand!"

Song Bugui heaved a long sigh and wiped his face. He gradually gritted his teeth and said coldly, one word after another, "Forget it. This ugly farce has been going on for long enough. The imperium, the path of immortality, and the civilization of mankind can no longer bear such torment.. Now, let us personally put an end to this clown's performance!"
