Ancient Legion, Beasts Return
As the Human Race Federation prepares for a counterattack, the expedition army is flying at full speed.
On the No. 1 Heavenly Foundation Battleship, Chen Chu sits cross-legged at the edge of the deck, watching the scorching shock waves generated on both sides of the battleship as it travels at thirty times the speed of sound, and he lets out a small sigh.
"Too slow."
For ordinary cultivators, a speed of thirty times the speed of sound is fast, covering ten kilometers in the blink of an eye. The most advanced supersonic missiles used to be only a few times the speed of sound.
But for a powerhouse of Chen Chu's caliber, it feels painfully slow, akin to a tortoise running.
At that moment, a red light appeared ahead, followed by the alert sound of the fleet's intelligent control system in his ear.
"Report, His Excellency the Divine Martial, a strong energy fluctuation detected in the planned route ahead, likely a mobile danger zone, attribute fire, high threat level."
"Activate the energy shield and charge straight in, while remaining vigilant for any potential unknown creature attacks."
"Yes, sir."
Under Chen Chu's command, the fleet, led by thirteen Heavenly Foundation Battleships, quickly approached the red area and charged in.
Boom!
At the instant the fleet charged in, a wave of scorching energy hit the battleship's energy shield, producing a deafening roar.
This was a fiery domain that extended for an unknown number of kilometers. The earth was ablaze, and a certain scorching power filled the heavens and the earth, extremely domineering.
These "flames" burned anything, igniting the air, energy drifting in the atmosphere, and even the battleship's shield.
However, this burning consumption was not rapid and remained within the capacity of the battleship's power furnace; the danger from this forbidden zone, however, did not only stem from the environment.
Buzz!
The main cannon of the No. 1 Heavenly Foundation Battleship suddenly lit up, and a red beam hundreds of meters wide pierced through the heavens and the earth, striking over a thousand kilometers away.
There, a red mist was burning high in the sky.
Roar!
At the moment the cannon beam appeared, that mist exploded, transforming into a flame creature a thousand meters long, roaring savagely as it echoed through the heavens and the earth.
But in an instant, that quasi-mythical flame creature exploded, obliterated by a shot from the main cannon comparable to a mythical attack.
However, this shot from the No. 1 Battleship seemed to have awakened something; a volcanic mountain range thousands of kilometers away suddenly trembled, and countless magma surged forth.
In an instant, a terrifying aura spread out, and the creatures beneath the mountain began to awaken, causing the temperature in this area to start soaring wildly.
Or perhaps, that mountain range itself was a creature.
Woo!
A long, mournful ancient roar resonated through the heavens and the earth. Countless rocks on the mountain's surface shattered as a hundred-kilometer-long ancient creature slowly stood up.
Immediately, Chen Chu's expression became grave: "I can’t believe we encountered an ancient creature here."
Compared to the ancient creature they faced when chasing the Destruction Emperor Dragon, this one appeared more petrified, with its size having turned to a hundred kilometers.
But at the same time, this also indicated that this ancient creature was more powerful.
As a being that once reached the ancient peak, the mastery of its rule power was already highly developed, and its rock surface, reinforced by the essence of those rules, was extraordinarily solid.
Of course, with Chen Chu's strength, even if he couldn't "kill" it, he could leave at any time, but what about his subordinates and the Tianyu Tribe's warships...
Boom!
A heavy, oppressive aura of rules emanated from Chen Chu, resembling a black hole, warping the laws of the surrounding world.
Behind him, a three-faced, eight-armed Demon God Phantom emerged, with its eight arms wielding battle spears, holding up the sun and the heavenly gate, and the Imperial Seal.
