1053: Shinto no thought

During the wars on Blue Star, once a Nine Revolution or higher power appeared on the battlefield, then, except for military legions currently executing combat missions or those capable of activating military formations to gain Nine Revolution power, all others had to immediately withdraw from the battlefield.

Even the most deranged general would not order ordinary legions to continue fighting at such a time.

The reason was simple: in a battlefield involving Nine Revolution and higher existences, ordinary combat legions were completely useless. The rampant pressure and shockwaves alone, released by Nine Revolution and higher beings during combat, could kill low-Rank warriors of ordinary combat legions in swathes.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, if an ordinary legion accidentally entered such a battlefield without the protection of a powerful magic array, their first choice was to run as far as possible, otherwise, they would truly die more insignificantly than ants.

As a veteran Nine Revolution Awakener, Mill deeply understood the significance of this regulation.

After all, he wasn't born a Nine Revolution Awakener; when he was weaker and entered the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, he had executed countless such retreat orders given by his superiors.

So, upon discovering that Chenxi City's city walls were shaking and cracking from the shockwaves, he immediately reacted and told the Sakura Country's people to repair Chenxi City's defensive barrier magic array.

However, in his haste, he forgot that once Wang Chen and Tanaka Kōnan's battle erupted, if they didn't order a retreat immediately, there would be no more opportunities to retreat or perform other actions.

“Fuck!”

After hearing the Sakura Country Awakener's words, Mill cursed, then focused on channeling his magic power to protect himself, no longer paying attention to anything else.

The surviving Sakura Country soldiers in Chenxi City could only pray for their own survival; after all, they weren't people from his Eagle Country, so their deaths had nothing to do with him.

As for him taking the four Nine Revolution Awakeners from Sakura Country to repair Chenxi City's defensive barrier magic array…

This option didn't even cross his mind.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that it was completely impossible.

How intricate was the defensive barrier magic array of a fortress city? The number of critical nodes alone exceeded a thousand. Even without considering the specialized knowledge required to repair these overloaded and shattered magic array nodes, just the sheer number meant that the five of them would be exhausted to death before they could finish.

Nine Revolution Awakeners are also human, not gods!

Under normal circumstances, the inspection and repair of such a defensive barrier magic array required a Awakener team of over a thousand people!

“Today, regardless of whether the objective is achieved, Chenxi City is definitely going to become ruins!”

Mill thought to himself, his gaze subtly sweeping over a certain spot in the city. The silvery-white building and the faint spatial fluctuations made his heart feel at ease.

Boom! Boom!

Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed from outside the city.

Mill turned his head to look, only to see Wang Chen and Tanaka Kōnan move simultaneously, instantly transforming into two streaks of light that shot out.

Boom!

The two streaks of light collided, erupting into brilliant, dazzling radiance.

Within this light, two figures could be seen holding weapons in a stalemate, their surging magic power continuously clashing and dissolving, tearing fine, long cracks in the surrounding space.

Boom!

After a brief stalemate between the two weapons, the surging magic power reached its limit, then exploded with a roar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the entire sky violently vibrated as if a huge stone had been thrown into water.

Circles of visible shockwaves exploded, sweeping in all directions, squeezing out a white ring with a diameter of over several hundred meters in mid-air, and this white ring expanded and spread at an extremely fast speed.

Wherever it passed, an immeasurable amount of dirt and shattered rocks were swept up, forming an earthen wall nearly twenty meters high that flattened everything in its path.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chenxi City, being the closest, was the first to suffer.

Under the impact of this earthen wall and terrifying shockwave, Chenxi City's city walls visibly trembled, the fine cracks continuously expanding, eventually even running from top to bottom.

Rumble!

A section of the city wall with the most cracks could no longer withstand this terrifying impact and directly collapsed. The shattered wall fragments became accomplices to the shockwave that subsequently rushed into the city, destroying a large area of buildings.

Mill and the others standing on the city wall could not maintain their balance and could only expend power to fly in mid-air, struggling to hold on.

Meanwhile.

In the terrifying gale sweeping across the entire area, Wang Chen stood unmoving, as heavy as a mountain, his Dragon Slaying Sword held diagonally. His entire body was enveloped in brilliant divine light, and behind him, the seven light clusters formed by Ice Purity Su Su and others emitted light like the sun.

On the opposite side.

Tanaka Kōnan, whose body was enveloped in the light armor formed by the legion's power, had an extremely gloomy expression, and his gaze subtly swept over the blade of the katana in his hand.

After that direct collision, the katana he had condensed had actually been chipped.

Although the chip instantly mended after the collision, the cost was that many of the legion soldiers currently providing him with amplification had suffered minor injuries.

This made Tanaka Kōnan's heart incredibly heavy, and his gaze towards the long sword in Wang Chen's hand became even more wary.

His katana was condensed using his own Nine Revolution Peak power plus the power of the entire legion; its sharpness and sturdiness were beyond doubt.

For a chip to appear during the collision, there was only one possibility.

That was, the long sword in Wang Chen's hand was of an extremely high Rank, at least a Sunflame-Rank equipment, which would be worshipped as a Divine Artifact in other Small Worlds.

“Sunflame-Rank equipment?”

“The Dragon Country is really generous!”

“But do you think you can be my opponent in my current state just by relying on the advantage of your weapon?”

“I'll gladly accept this weapon of yours!”

As Tanaka Kōnan spoke, the light armor enveloping his body suddenly burst forth with intense divine light, and even more terrifying power fluctuations permeated the heavens and earth.

“If you’re envious, just be envious. Why bother with all this nonsense?”

Seeing this, Wang Chen curled his lips in disdain, his eyes coldly fixed on Tanaka Kōnan.

“Heh heh!”

“Arrogant brat, die!”

Tanaka Kōnan sneered upon hearing this, his aura surging. He suddenly transformed into a streak of light and shot out, a Saber Qi several meters long extending from the katana in his hand.

This Saber Qi was extremely sharp, just slicing through the air, it tore a black line in space.

Boom!

The violent Qi explosion had just sounded when Tanaka Kōnan reached Wang Chen, his katana, with its sharp Saber Qi, slashing down at his head.

“Die!”

“Divine Dao, No-Thought, Thousand Slashes!”

With a furious roar from Tanaka Kōnan, the descending katana instantly split into two, then four…

Until it transformed into a thousand slashes, covering the sky and overwhelming Wang Chen.

Each of these slashes carried extremely terrifying power, tearing space and capable of easily killing an ordinary Nine Revolution Awakener.

At this moment, in the eyes of Mill and the others in the distance, the area where the thousand slashes fell had dense spatial cracks connected together, as if… the sky had fallen!!
