Chapter 906: Slas.h.i.+ng The Stronghold, Worn-out Planet Zi
With Planet Zi in the center, countless defense lines were built across a 7 lightyears radius. Among them, there were eighteen strongholds that stood out and were known across the galaxy.
In order to attack Planet Zi, one must first go through all eighteen of the strongholds.
Ancient Frost Strong Hold, which was the first in the line of eighteen, and its owner was a Grand Daoist Celestial. He stood on the walls of the stronghold and gazed upon the armada of bandits with a disdainful look.
“Ignorant fools trying to attack Planet Zi? They are ahead of themselves. There are eighteen defense lines across 7 lightyears and you scoundrels won’t even make it through the first one!” the owner of Ancient Frost Stronghold, Ancient Frost Daoist Celestial, said.
Planet Zi devoted a lot of effort and resources to building the eighteen strongholds. Each of them was equipped with countless formation seals that made them indestructible.
“These bandits will never take down Ancient Frost Stronghold. Now, all we need to do is wait for the elites from the other civilizations to arrive and we can wipe them out altogether,” thought Ancient Frost Daoist Celestial.
All the major players had their eyes on the bandits as well, they were wondering what the bandits would do. If they were stopped right at the first stronghold, Chaotic Starfield would probably end up as the biggest joke of the Violet Gold Galaxy.
Among the millions of wars.h.i.+ps, three Bandit Kings were staring at the Ancient Frost Stronghold further away. They frowned at the countless formation seals that were swirling around the stronghold and they seemed like they were out of options.
“What should we do next?”
“Let’s put it on hold,” Heavenly Gale Bandit King said. “If we go any closer, we might ram into the formation seals.”
“We don’t need to stop.”
A voice came from the inner part of the wars.h.i.+p.
All three of the Bandit Kings and the Black Blood Tower Master looked at each other in confusion upon hearing the voice.
If they continued forward, they would ram straight into the formation seals.
“Listen to the master,” Flame Demon Bandit King said with clenched teeth.
Millions of wars.h.i.+ps pressed forward to the stronghold and their action left all the major players in awe and shock.
“What are they trying to do?!”
“Any closer and they will clash with the formation seals of Ancient Frost Stronghold. Are they on a suicide mission?”
“Seems like someone is going down with his s.h.i.+p.”
“These bandits are lunatics who disregard their lives.”
Inside Ancient Frost Stronghold, Ancient Frost Daoist Celestial was also surprised by the scene. He said with a scoff, “Trying to force your way through? Fools!”
He then said loudly, “All hands on deck! Once the scoundrels are within firing range, blast them to bits!”
“Aye aye!”
Those in charge started to activate the formations to prepare for the siege.
A moment later, countless formation seals around Ancient Frost Stronghold started to glow and swirl. All kinds of offensive formations, trap formations were being activated en ma.s.se.
The millions of wars.h.i.+ps did not stop despite countless formation seals standing in their way.
Right before the wars.h.i.+ps clashed with the formation seals, a rampant and unparalleled energy exploded across the s.p.a.ce. A vast amount of Emperor qi burst from one of the wars.h.i.+ps, the qi intertwined above that particular wars.h.i.+p and formed the Grand Emperor Avatar.
A huge amount of golden sword qi was gathering at the palm of the Grand Emperor Avatar and the Immortal Technique emanated a powerful ripple, so powerful that it could shake s.p.a.ce itself.
“This energy…”
The elites who had their eyes on the situation had their pupils shank and all of them shared the same thought almost instantaneously.
The golden sword qi in the Grand Emperor Avatar’s palm converged and formed a golden sword shadow that was as wide as the horizon and as tall as the sky.
The golden sword shadow tore apart s.p.a.ce wherever it touches.
All the stars across a billion yards trembled upon its appearance.
The golden sword collided with the countless formation seal of Ancient Frost Stronghold.
The formation seals broke and shattered one after another and the whole stronghold was trembling violently.
As the stronghold trembled, the cultivators fled.
The other stars within the proximity paled in comparison to the collision between sword and stronghold.
Countless cultivators who witnessed the collision were astonished.
Ancient Frost Daoist Celestial stared blankly as the sword descended upon the stronghold and tore all the formation seals into pieces.
As the ripples of the sword qi wreak havoc along its trail, Ancient Frost Daoist Celestial was smitten into dust before he could even react.
After the slash, the grand Ancient Frost Stronghold was slashed in half. Countless wars.h.i.+p debris floated in s.p.a.ce.
“Eliminate the rest,” the icy cold voice said.
It was then the three Bandit Kings and Black Blood Tower Master regained their composure.
“Fire!” Heavenly Gale Bandit King bellowed.
Countless energy beams were fired from the wars.h.i.+ps and they rained down like a storm on the remains of Ancient Frost Stronghold.
The cultivator guards of Planet Zi were terrified, no one was able to recover from the fear and regroup to fight back.
Soon enough, the number of casualties piled up. Those who were able to stand fled, and those who could not, died.
Ancient Frost Stronghold has fallen!
The bandits cheered loudly.
In the void, the cultivators who watched the terrifying scene slowly regained their composure but the remains of Ancient Frost Stronghold left them in s.h.i.+vers.
“If I’m correct, that golden sword is Sword Poet Immortal Chu Kuangren’s Immortal Technique,” said one of the cultivators with a trembling tone.
“It must be, it can only be him!”
“Oh my goodness, how powerful has he become? A single slash and he destroyed an entire stronghold?”
“He’s outrageously powerful!”
“Sword Poet Immortal Chu Kuangren once said that he swore to let Planet Zi have a taste of their civilization being annihilated. It seems like he meant it! I just did not expect him to gather all the bandits of Chaotic Starfield!”
“Planet Zi has offended someone beyond their league now.”
Discussion rose among the cultivators.
All the major players realized almost instantly that Chu Kuangren was the mastermind behind Chaotic Starfield’s conquest.
The elites who had a bounty placed on them by Planet Zi saw this situation as an opportunity. Their eyes glimmered and the urge deep down started to grow stronger.
“Planet Zi once ordered Black Blood Tower to hunt us down. They wouldn’t stop if they didn’t see our bodies.”
“Hehe, here’s a way to keep them off our tails, once and for all.”
“If we help Chu Kuangren to take down Planet Zi, it would mean taking revenge for ourselves. We won’t need to worry about Planet Zi hunting us down anymore!”
“Planet Zi, let’s settle our score!”
Those elites who were once hunted by Planet Zi started to make a move.
Meanwhile back at Planet Zi, after realizing it was Chu Kuangren who was behind this siege, Holy Violet Temple Lord was furious. The look on his face was as black as coal.
“Chu Kuangren! Chu Kuangren!
“It’s him again! I still haven’t settled the score with him last time and now he’s here again! Great! Just great!
“That’s it, I’m settling this with him once and for all! Gather the men, I’ll lead the troops myself and go to war with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Holy Violet Temple Lord bellowed coldly.
Planet Zi Guardian then said, “My lord, Chu Kuangren has gathered all the forces of Chaotic Starfield, he’s not to be underestimated anymore. If you are leading the troops, it might not be suitable. Why not wait it out?”
“Wait it out?”
“Yes my lord. No matter how strong Chu Kuangren is, he would probably lose 90% of his troops if he wants to make it through all eighteen defense lines. While he is doing that, we can gather our troops and take him and his ragtag group of armies out once and for all when the time is right,” Planet Zi Guardian said coldly.
“You’re right. We shall wait for his arrival then,” the Holy Violet Temple Lord said coldly..
