238: Starship

The human emperor phantom continued to expand rapidly, its speed only gradually slowing down as it approached two light-years in size.

He Ming's aura stabilized. When he opened both eyes, a pressure unique to a Cosmic Venerable spread out. Auspicious colors descended from the sky, illuminating the Abyss as if celebrating the birth of the human race's eighth Cosmic Venerable.

"He succeeded!"

He Ming's gaze sharpened as he pointed a finger, instantly shattering the head of a Void Insect King that was about to break through a spatial rift.

In the next moment, space twisted, and the Void Insect King's head was teleported in front of him.

The human emperor phantom held the imperial seal of china in its hand and let out a furious roar.

"Collect!"

Several Golden Dragons of Fortune surged out, coiling around the Void Insect King's head and dragging it back into the inner universe of the imperial seal of china.

As soon as the Void Insect King's head entered the inner universe, it tried to struggle, but it was suppressed by the power of laws and instantly annihilated, turning into the purest energy to nourish this space.

He Ming joined the battle, instantly turning the tide.

The Void Insect Kings had already suffered greatly while crossing over, and under the obstruction of the seven human Venerables, they failed to form an effective offensive.

However, at the border between the Abyss and humanity, the battle was a completely different scene.

Longyuan Fortress.

In the airspace above, tens of thousands of warships opened fire with full force, their light shining upon the Abyss as they destroyed the swarms of insects continuously flying toward the fortress.

At the very front of the Zerg swarm were seventeen Starry Sky Giant Worm, each as massive as a planet.

They stood at the very front. The firepower of the Star Destroyer Cannons bombarded their carapaces, either being reflected into the sky or swallowed whole by the gaping maws of the Starry Sky Giant Worm.

The extreme firepower capable of destroying a planet with a single shot failed to have its intended effect against the swarm.

Even the titan ships could only slightly delay the advance of the Starry Sky Giant Worm.

The battlefield seemed close at hand, but it was actually millions of kilometers away; it was only because the insects were so massive that it made people think they were about to storm the city walls in the next moment.

Suddenly!

A beam of light shot out from the mouth of a Starry Sky Giant Worm, blasting toward the city walls.

Those were the Devourer Insects of the Zerg, capable of reflecting swallowed energy with double the power. They were the species most threatening to human city defenses among the Zerg.

An Immortal Level powerhouse held a large saber and swung it violently toward the sky.

Saber shadows filled the air, like a galaxy streaking across deep space, illuminating the entire city defense.

The double-powered main cannon fire of a titan ship was instantly dismantled and dissipated under the saber light.

The saber light's momentum did not diminish, plowing a vacuum zone about three light-years long through the swarm; even the Starry Sky Giant Worm could not withstand the power of this single strike.

Atop the Longyuan Fortress, a burst of cheering instantly rang out.

The defenders' morale soared, but they dared not be even slightly negligent. They operated the massive city defense cannons, loading them with large quantities of repeatedly refined star marrow crystals and continuing to fire.

"Fuck 'em!"

"Kill all the Zerg!"

A Star Lord Level guard officer wearing black battle armor roared, "Brothers, hang in there! After we finish this battle, I'll treat you all to a good time at Passion Paradise!"

"Captain, you said it! I want to pick the most beautiful girl!"

"No ambition! You should at least pick ten."

"Old Gun, can you even handle that, you bastard?"

"Don't you worry. Even if a hundred came, I could handle them."

Blood River Fortress.

Currently, ten thousand titan warships were hovering there.

These warships came from the Star Sea and represented the most cutting-edge technology of the past millennium.

They were different from the standard warships of the Human Alliance's peak Level 6 civilization.

A single shot could annihilate a small star system.

The titan ships produced by the Star Sea were true Level 7 civilization technology.

They were about five hundred thousand kilometers long and equipped with three main cannons.

The power of a single shot was enough to annihilate the entire Milky Way Galaxy, with a core kill radius of ten thousand light-years and a radiation range of up to fifty thousand light-years.

The Star Sea had built a full ten thousand of such warships.

Recently, they had even ramped up production to full capacity, no longer bothering to hide it.

Every month, they could produce over a thousand titan ships of the same specifications.

Among these ten thousand titan ships, they were divided into seven major categories and hundreds of different sub-types.

They covered the weaknesses of all tens of thousands of Zerg species; below the level of a Void Insect King, no insect could withstand a single shot.

Atop the city walls.

An Immortal Level powerhouse sat in command.

His gaze was deep as he looked at the dense, endless swarm of insects in the distance.

"Fire!"

Engines hummed as the ten thousand warships arranged themselves in a stepped formation, their main cannons roaring in unison.

Rainbow-colored light seemed to illuminate the entire world as ten thousand cannons fired at once!

After a long time.

As the light gradually dissipated, a high-energy flare was launched, lighting up the endless darkness.

There was no sign of the insect swarm; under the roar of the Star Sea fleet, the Zerg vanguard had been completely wiped out, not a single one remaining.

The Immortal Level powerhouse's eyes widened, his mouth slowly hanging open, and his pupils shrinking to thin lines!!

"This...!"

He had fought all his life, yet he had never seen a warship's main cannon that could be this powerful!

The Zerg side had many special species that could reflect energy or even swallow energy to counterattack!

Over the years, the human side had suffered greatly and sustained heavy losses at the hands of these special species.

For hundreds of millions of years, even though humans had continuously innovated in technology and created highly targeted cutting-edge firepower, they could never keep up with the speed of Zerg evolution.

Often, within a few hundred years, the Zerg would give birth to a new species that could adapt to or even counter the new tech.

This turned the cutting-edge technology that humans spent vast amounts of time and money developing into something useless.

Even so, humans could only continue to develop new technologies.

To stand still meant to be destroyed.

The Immortal Level powerhouse looked up at the ten thousand warships hovering above the fortress and murmured to himself, "Could this be a new killing machine developed internally by us!?"

Atop the city walls, the gaze of a Stellar Level operator who was about to fire a main cannon went blank.

"Do they still need us for this war..."

Beside him, a Planetary Level porter looked toward the Abyss with a dazed expression.

"The bugs... vanished in an instant..."

"Heavens, we actually possess this level of firepower!?"

Crimson lights flashed atop the city walls.

"Don't get careless, the swarm is coming again!"

Boom!!!

The Star Sea fleet's second main cannons fired in unison.

Electromagnetic beams seemed to warp space. The dozens of Devourer Insects leading the charge opened their mouths, preparing to swallow the energy.

In the next moment, their bodies were riddled with holes by the electromagnetic beams.

Solid projectiles were hidden within the electromagnetic cannons.

These projectiles were made of Obsidian that had been repeatedly refined and purified tens of millions of times. Though only the size of a fist, their hardness was such that even an Immortal Level powerhouse would need some effort to break them. Against insects below the Immortal Level, they were more than enough.

However, the cost of these projectiles was extremely high; a single shot could wipe out the market value of an entire city.

At the fortress walls, the guards watched as dozens of planet-sized Devourer Insects were riddled with holes. The scene was too shocking, beyond comprehension.
