86: Chapter 86: Beast Totem Shattered, Satellite Island Unlocked!

The totem had just been erected, and their territory had not yet reached 100% Spiritual Qi Recovery.

Taking advantage of this moment to launch an attack, they would tear down the Orcs' totem directly!

Now that Xu Xuan had entered the early stages of Spiritual Qi Recovery, Lei Zhenzi, naturally, came with his own Wind and Thunder Wings.

Nezha, meanwhile, had already unlocked the Wind and Fire Wheels, granting him the ability to fly.

At this moment, the Orcs were still immersed in the joy of leveling up, believing they could turn the tide as long as the Spiritual Qi in their territory reached 100%, marking their successful entry into the next era.

But their joy didn't last long before they saw a red-haired, green-skinned behemoth, six-point-six meters tall, appear in the sky.

The Orcs were stunned when they saw Lei Zhenzi appear.

"What is this?"

"Could it be one of our kin?"

"Green skin, red hair, protruding teeth—the coloring is right!"

Seeing the howling winds and flashing lightning that accompanied Lei Zhenzi's arrival, the Orc Lords were ecstatic.

"Could it be!"

"A Divine General of our Orc race!?"

While they were excitedly guessing, the Orcs took a closer look.

[Affiliation: Great Xia Human Race, Lord Xu Xuan.]

In an instant, the Orc Lords coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Wait, what?

This green-skinned, red-haired thing... you're telling us this is a human? A human???

Furthermore, when they saw Lei Zhenzi's appearance, they mistook him for a fellow Orc and let down their guard.

Now that Lei Zhenzi had landed before them, the Orc Lords only discovered through appraisal that he belonged to the human faction. By then, it was too late to run!

Before the Orc Lords could even turn around, the Wind and Thunder Wings on Lei Zhenzi's back flapped, kicking up a cloud of dust that filled the sky.

Dust billowed, and lightning flickered!

The electrical flashes within the swirling yellow sand instantly evaporated the Orc Lords.

In a deep, resonant voice, Lei Zhenzi spoke: "Nezha, go destroy the Orc Totem. I'll hold off these small fry!"

"Got it! Leave the totem to me. Hehehe, I'm the best at breaking things!"

With his hair tied in two buns, Nezha stepped on his Wind and Fire Wheels, grinned, and thrust his fire-tipped spear fiercely into the Orc Totem!

Blue light flickered as he pierced a hole in the massive totem built from spirit mines, and a vast amount of Spiritual Qi gushed out from within.

While Nezha was wreaking havoc, Lei Zhenzi relied on his Wind and Thunder Wings. When the Orc soldiers charged, a flap of his wings whipped up a gale laced with lightning. Anyone who touched it was either killed or injured, blown away in all directions. The terrifying power of the lightning also left the Orcs smelling of charred flesh.

The Orcs thought that by entering a new era, they could contend with Xu Xuan.

Little did they know, Xu Xuan already had seven Divine Generals: Xing Tian, Chi You, Nvba, Nezha, Grand Preceptor Wen, Su Daji, and Lei Zhenzi.

Chi You, Xing Tian, and Grand Preceptor Wen guarded the Floating Island.

Nvba was in charge of the mines, while Nezha and Lei Zhenzi were sent to dismantle the Orc Totem. Xu Xuan still had surplus combat power, with Su Daji available as a reserve.

Comparing the number of Divine Generals with him? Even if the Orcs truly summoned an Orcish Divine General, they would likely just be delivering another head on a platter.

Standing on the Floating Island, Xu Xuan watched the battle in the distance and couldn't help but marvel at the advantages of being ahead of the times.

It was like using firearms to beat up primitive people—simply rubbing them into the dirt!

This was only the early stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery, and yet those Orcs were already powerless to fight back. The advantage of being ahead in eras was indeed satisfying.

The Orcs could only watch helplessly as Nezha repeatedly struck their hard-earned Orc Totem with his fire-tipped spear until it shattered and cracked.

Their last shred of hope for a counterattack was snuffed out.

The Orcs' hope shattered along with the totem as it tore into countless fragments.

It felt like destroying an enemy's crystal nexus; the moment it shattered, the light formed a shockwave that spread in all directions.

However, after witnessing this, Xu Xuan also realized the importance of protecting the Spirit Gathering Array.

If the Spirit Gathering Array were destroyed, the era would regress, and the Divine Generals' powers would be bound once again.

The good news, however, was that his Floating Island could go anywhere he pleased, so he didn't have to worry about his home being raided while he was out on a campaign.

Of course, improving the Floating Island's defenses should also be put on the agenda.

Besides adding the ascending structures, the third building was the Satellite Island.

He called up the screen and took a look.

[Satellite Island: Generates a Satellite Island with a diameter of 500 meters on the periphery of the Floating City. You can deploy city defenses on it.]

[Note: Satellite Islands will not grow in size with the main island. Unless you upgrade them, they will permanently maintain a diameter of 500 meters.]

[Cost: Each Satellite Island requires 500 units of spirit mine.]

Satellite Island?

Interesting!

If a large number of Satellite Islands were arranged around the periphery of the Floating Island, then if an enemy wanted to attack the main island, they would first have to take down the outer Satellite Islands.

And if the enemy bypassed the Satellite Islands to attack the main island directly, they would find themselves attacked from both front and back.

He had enough ore now to create several more Satellite Islands and station some of his loyal vassals on them.

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan glanced at his resources.

The construction interface displayed: [Total spirit mine on the island: 1823 units.]

These resources were enough to add three Satellite Islands to the periphery. His hands itching to try, Xu Xuan clicked to proceed.

The moment he clicked confirm, 500 units of spirit mine flew outward and formed a core.

This core was attracting surrounding soil and rocks in a way that defied the laws of gravity.

A massive amount of earth and stone was pulled around the core, gradually forming a Floating Island with a diameter of 500 meters.

[Satellite Island No. 1 construction complete. You may choose to open or close the Access Bridge.]

The Satellite Island was currently about twenty to thirty meters away from the main island. Xu Xuan tapped the screen in the air.

[Open Access Bridge]

A bridge made of rock appeared, connecting the main island and the Satellite Island in a floating manner, forming a path to the Satellite Island.

"Interesting. Normally, the Satellite Island can be connected via the Access Bridge, but if an enemy invades, the bridge can be cut off."

It seemed the Floating Island still had many functions waiting to be unlocked. It wasn't just a mobile territory; as rewards were unlocked, more features should appear.

While Xu Xuan was researching the new features, the battle outside was drawing to a close.

Under the crushing weight of a superior era and with a sufficient number of Divine Generals, the Orc Lords were all slain by Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, and Nvba, unable to mount any semblance of a decent resistance.

Furthermore, the over 80,000 Orcs suffered heavy casualties, with the death rate exceeding 50%.

One must know that for a troop without a commander, morale would have collapsed long ago once casualties exceeded 30%.

The remaining time was just a leisurely period for cleaning up the battlefield.

And just then, the time reached midnight.

As the clock struck midnight, the system announcement arrived as expected.

[It is midnight! Congratulations to the Human Lord for being the first to enter the Spiritual Qi Recovery era. At 8:00 AM tomorrow, a new event will arrive. Top-ranking lords, please prepare for battle!]
