Chapter 373: Attacking the Fortress
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
This fortress, over five thousand kilometers in height, trembled time after time.
“Reporting to the Sorcerer God: the first space pillar array has been broken,” various Demigods within the fortress anxiously shouted.
“Repair it! Quickly!” the Sorcerer God’s voice sent back. “The cost doesn’t matter; just repair the array. We have to maintain the pillars.”
“Yes.”
The Sorcerer God and Great Demonic God both showed expressions riddled with anxiety within the fortress’ palace hall.
“Once all of the space pillar arrays are broken, they will no longer be able to stabilize space. This entire fortress…will then immediately be slapped away by Xue Ying’s spear!” the Sorcerer God muttered.
“Even the protective arrays outside the fortress can’t withstand his attacks?” the Great Demonic God worriedly asked. “You’re the one who personally constructed this fortress, Sorcerer God.”
“All of the arrays are operated using Deity crystals; just how mystical do you think they can be?” The Sorcerer God shook his head. “The more powerful arrays couldn’t possibly be activated with Deity crystals, while Dong Bo Xue Ying’s spear technique secret skill has already reached an extremely formidable realm. It might seem savage, but it already incorporates a knowledge of chaos holes. The fortress’s protective arrays can merely remove 30% of his strength.”
“How long can they last?” the Great Demonic God immediately asked.
“I’ve prepared a total of 3,000 space pillars for use in case of unforeseen circumstances,” the Sorcerer God responded. “My subordinates are also able to bring more treasures over through the spatial passage, so we should be able to hold on for a month or two.”
The Great Demonic God could not help but grit his teeth at the sound of those words. In that moment, the flames covering his body burned even brighter.
“Great Demonic God, it’s up to you now. The magnificent Abyss Sovereign…should be able to point out a direction for us to follow,” the Sorcerer God concluded.
“Mn.” The Great Demonic God nodded.
Back outside the fortress, Xue Ying also felt quite anxious. He could see more array seals forming on the surface of the fortress. Every time his spear attacked it, those arrays would light up and cause the fortress to faintly flicker. Clearly, a huge amount of energy was shaved off. Fortunately, the Laws and Profound Mysteries carried by his Chaotic Suppression secret skill were quite formidable, which meant that the arrays could only remove a minor part of the attack’s power.
Had he used some simple and foolish attack instead, most likely no more than 10% of the power would have made it in.
Peng peng peng! The spear lashed out wantonly! Time after time, it struck the external wall of that black fortress. Xue Ying would even switch positions, at times attacking from the top of the fortress nd at other times striking various other parts of the wall—all in search for some weakness.
It’s already been half an hour. This fortress has kept trembling, but why is it that it won’t break apart? Xue Ying began to feel the burden which the Blood-Drinking spear put on his soul.
In spite of his soul’s strength, he had still yet to condense a True Deity Heart.
As he unleashed the power of the Blood-Drinking Spear, the top-grade Deity rank blood-refined Deity warrior could also unleash a huge suppressive effect.
Let me rest for a moment. Xue Ying decided to temporarily stop his assault. I’ll try using the technique second disciple senior brother designed for use in sieges instead.
He had discussed with Senior Ge Bai and Senior Fei Yun about this tactic of recklessly attacking by himself, and they had determined that it should still be effective. However, the fortress seemed to depend on some space pillars or arrays that made it become one entity with the surrounding space. On top of that, there was a chance that the enemy would have large quantities of those space pillar. While he could destroy three to five of such pillars in his reckless attacks, the Sorcerer God could always just repair them over and over again. Such a process would consume his energy and would be ineffective unless he determined how ample were the preparations the Sorcerer God had done prior to the war.
There was also another point—the fortress might simply be too stable! It was possible that no matter what he did, it would not be slapped away by his spear.
With all of that in mind, Senior Ge Bai, as a World Deity who specialized in artificing, had personally designed an array to be used for sieging fortresses.
“Come out.”
Xue Ying looked toward the distant Star Pagoda belonging to his side.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
A large amount of unique Deity world battleship shuttles flew out of it. In total, there were fifteen ships, driven by Chao Qing, Si Kong Yang, Chi Qiu Bai, Yuan Qing, City Lady Bu, Chun Yuan, Gong Yu, Great Uncle Palace Head, Zang Nuo, and others. Each of them controlled a single one of those ships. The battleships were also powered using Deity crystals, which allowed their drivers to easily control them.
The fate of the entire Xia Clan now lay in their hands. Even the Bloodshed Tavern and the Palace of the Earth God had sent a total of five Demigods over to aid them, but their degree of trust was different. Xue Ying had prepared a total of fifteen unique Deity world battleships and he had naturally handed them over to Demigods of the Infernal Palace.
