Cold Moon Sect
First-class warships fall under the category of ironclad warships.
Not only were they over a hundred meters long and over a hundred meters high, but the warships also carried a large number of crossbows, arrow carts, and even Vulcan cannons with a range of several miles.
In addition, with the speed of over 100 miles per hour achieved by using spiritual materials, this warship is more than capable of dominating the ocean.
Even a dozen or several dozen ordinary third- or fourth-class warships would become sitting ducks.
With their amazing agility and the range of their arrow carts and Vulcan cannons, they could easily penetrate and sink those wooden third- or fourth-class warships, and the soldiers on board would naturally sink into the sea along with the warships.
Even second-tier warships pose a very limited threat to them.
During the reign of Longque Mountain Villa, all resources in Jiangzhou had to be used to collect and refine Immortal Essence Gold in order to exchange for Creation Immortal Fruit that could extend one's lifespan by sixty years.
Under these circumstances, Dragon Sparrow Manor wouldn't even have many high-cost second-tier warships, let alone first-tier warships that require a lot of spiritual materials.
Lingxiao City has only been in control of Jiangzhou for a short time. Even if they don't need to be as frugal as they were during the Longque Manor period, it will still take years to build a first-class warship.
This is also why Lizhou doesn't take Jiangzhou's navy seriously at all.
Pity...
Gu Jinlai, there has never been a naval battle with the combined forces of fifteen parties, including Lizhou and the nine overseas islands. Instead, they directly launched a dimensional reduction attack using the Xuan Bird fighter jet.
Under the bombardment of electromagnetic railguns carried by eight Xuan Bird fighters, both first-class ironclad warships and fourth-class wooden warships were blasted into dust and sank into the sea.
At this moment, on the sea dozens of miles away from the battlefield, several second-class warships maintained a speed of sixty miles per hour, leisurely making their way to the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Fang Linghai, Liu Jingtao, Wuyou Laozu, and others on the warship had repeatedly activated their divine senses to explore the surrounding area.
After a long while, Liu Jingtao addressed Xin Tianqi, who was in charge of receiving them, for the third time. "Lord Xin, does Jiangzhou really intend to rely on these three hundred warships...?"
He paused here, glancing at the two hundred ships that were clearly merchant vessels...
Let's say it's three hundred warships.
"Are you really planning to fight a decisive battle against the allied forces from Lizhou and the nine islands of the East China Sea with only three hundred warships?"
"Aren't we on our way to the battlefield?"
Xin Tian abandoned the Dao.
In reality, he didn't know what was happening on the front lines.
However, the Ancient Lord has already completed the modification of the eight Xuan Bird fighter jets. Even if the combat power of these Xuan Bird fighter jets does not increase after the modification is completed, the increase in quantity alone is equivalent to eight top True Lord.
Therefore, he was confident that he could defeat the combined forces of Lizhou and the fifteen forces in the East China Sea, both ancient and Gu Jinlai.
"When we boarded the ship, Lord Xin said that if we didn't leave soon, the allied forces of the fifteen major powers in the East China Sea would be defeated. So this shouldn't be your entire fleet, right? Jiangzhou must be hiding an even larger fleet in the shadows. That's the source of Jiangzhou's confidence in suppressing the East China Sea allied forces, isn't it?"
Fang Linghai pondered for a moment before speaking.
"These are indeed all the warships of our Lingxiao City."
Xin Tianqi said, "I have no reason to deceive you on this matter."
"This..."
The three powerful beings, all of whom were True Lord Primordial Spirit Realm, looked at each other in bewilder
Xin Tianqi smiled slightly, about to say something more, but at this moment he seemed to receive some kind of message, and then said, "These one hundred warships and two hundred ships are indeed the entirety of our Lingxiao City's naval power, but I have never said that we would use the navy to fight a decisive battle with the East China Sea Allied Forces."
"Without using the navy to engage in a decisive battle with the East China Sea Allied Forces?"
Liu Jingtao was slightly taken aback. "Then what do you use..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly remembered something.
"An aerial warfare Spirit Artifact, the Xuan Bird Fighter!?"
"Good."
Xin Tianqi nodded slightly.
Lu Zhanxian, Liu Jingtao, Fang Linghai, Leng Ningshuang, Youquan, Wuyou, and True Lord, the great Primordial Spirit who had been puzzled since boarding the ship, suddenly realized the truth.
But then his pupils contracted.
Does the Xuan Bird fighter jet of Lingxiao City possess such power?
A massive fleet of two thousand warships from the East China Sea Allied Forces that could be directly defeated from the sky?
Especially when the opponent has thirteen Primordial Spirit True Lord and more than sixty Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivators.
"Gentlemen, we are only a few dozen miles from the battlefield. If you are interested, the battlefield is over there, about forty miles away."
Xin Tianqi pointed in a direction and said, "If you are interested, you may try to explore with your Primordial Spirit, or you may use your divine sense to perceive it."
After saying that, in order to prove that he would not be at a disadvantage after their Primordial Spirit escaped, he took the lead in escaping with his Primordial Spirit and flew straight towards the direction of the battlefield.
The other Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord exchanged glances, and Liu Jingtao, Fang Linghai, and Wuyou Ancestor, the three True Lords, quickly escaped from their Primordial Spirit and followed Xin Tianqi's Primordial Spirit.
The remaining True Lord activated their divine senses and sped towards the battlefield forty miles away.
When their divine senses probed the battlefield, what first appeared before them were wrecked warships, drowning victims struggling on the surface of the sea, and countless corpses.
Look at the style of those warships, the flags they fly, and the clothing of those who have fallen into the water...
These Primordial Spirit True Lord immediately changed their expressions.
"The East China Sea Alliance seems to have... been defeated!?"
Compared to their perception using divine sense, the four True Lords, who had escaped their Primordial Spirit to personally arrive at the battlefield, could see much more clearly.
As far as the eye could see, eight Xuan Bird fighter jets continuously flew over the battlefield.
Each time it passed by a warship, it would fire cannonballs that sank those warships.
Due to the mass-energy effect, no warship could withstand the penetration of these shells.
Occasionally, some shells might miss the vital points of these warships, but that's alright; just fire another one.
Every now and then, Sword Qi and sword light would roar up from the warship and soar into the sky.
Several Primordial Spirit True Lord could tell that the owners of these sword lights and flying swords were the most powerful Spirit Refining True Person and Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivators who could control swords to shoot and kill.
But it didn't work.
The Black Bird fighter jet is too fast.
Whether it's Sword Qi or flying swords, they can't even keep up with their shadows.
Those Spirit Transformation cultivators, aside from wasting their Yin Spirit power in vain, couldn't harm the Xuan Bird's war machine in the slightest.
The speed advantage was maximized by the Xuanniao fighter jet.
Once the Spirit Transformation cultivators were forced to fall into the water due to the destruction of their warships, the Xuan Bird fighter jets consciously began to target and kill these Spirit Transformation cultivators whose actions were greatly affected.
If it were a cultivator from Blue Star, they could sense it...
The scene before us is roughly equivalent to fighter jets bombing and strafing infantrymen who have lost their vehicles and can only walk from a high vantage point.
Even in an environment where there is no cover or hiding place.
This is a clash on completely different levels.
Faced with such an attack, no matter how many Qi Refining, Gang Condensing, or Core Forming Formation cultivators there are, or how many Spirit Refining there are, or even Spirit Transformation Grandmasters, it is all meaningless.
Because no matter how much they resisted, they didn't even have the ability to harm the other party.
"How is this possible..."
"Where is the Primordial Spirit True Lord?! Where is the Primordial Spirit True Lord of the East Sea Allied Forces? Could it be..."
"More than two thousand warships, over sixty Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators, hundreds of Spirit Refining True Person, and... five or six thousand Qi Refining, Gang Condensing, and Core Forming Formation cultivators... all defeated!? Defeated by eight Xuan Bird fighter jets?"
Liu Jingtao, Fang Linghai, and Wuyou Laozu watched the struggling figures in the ocean, their minds suffocated by the shocking scene before them.
That was a powerful combination of elites among five or six thousand cultivators, more than two hundred Spirit Refining True Person, and over sixty Spirit Transformation plus thirteen Primordial Spirit True Lord.
But now...
Fallen flowers and flowing water.
Since the thirteen Primordial Spirit True Lord did not appear, they naturally did not assume that these Primordial Spirit True Lord had not come with the fleet.
There's only one reason they won't show up!
Defeat them!
The thirteen Primordial Spirit True Lord who came with the fleet have been defeated.
However, compared to Spirit Transformation and Spirit Refining cultivators who lack the ability to fly, Primordial Spirit True Lord have a higher probability of surviving such a dimensional attack from the sea.
"Call out!"
A surge of Primordial Spirit flashed by.
The Primordial Spirit of Lu Zhanxian, Leng Ningshuang, Youquan Laozu, and others, who were originally quite cautious, all manifested.
Clearly, what one perceives with divine sense is far less real and impactful than what one "sees" with one's own eyes.
Now, witnessing this incredibly brutal battlefield firsthand, the emotional fluctuations in their Primordial Spirit were no less intense than those of Liu Jingtao and the others.
"That war Spirit Artifact called the Black Bird..."
Lu Zhanxian muttered to himself.
Just then, a figure suddenly shot out from the ocean.
His spirit and energy burned fiercely, carrying an indomitable determination that soared straight into the sky.
In the dim light, one could still see a huge sea monster, seemingly attracted by the smell of blood, surging in the place where he had just been hiding.
When everyone sensed the aura emanating from this Primordial Spirit True Lord, they immediately recognized his identity.
"It's Yuan Zhenhai! The leader of the Tianhai Gang, a True Lord has cultivated for sixteen years and led the Tianhai Gang for over a True Lord!"
Fang Linghai couldn't help but say.
Forced to emerge from the ocean by the attack of the sea monsters, Yuan Zhenhai dared not delay for a moment. He became one with his sword and shot towards the horizon at top speed.
In that instant, he had seemingly achieved the feat of breaking the sound barrier with his own body.
Pity...
It's useless.
As he hid in the sea, trying to swim and hide on the seabed, two Xuan Bird fighter jets kept circling in that area.
As Yuan Zhenhai soared into the sky, the two Xuan Bird fighter jets fired their cannons simultaneously.
Accompanied by flashing lights and bursts of electricity, two cannonballs shattered the void and hurtled toward Yuan Zhenhai at incredible speed.
"Ah! Gu Jinlai!"
Yuan Zhenhai let out a desperate roar, and Sword Qi burst forth, stretching for a thousand meters.
The next second, a cannonball shattered the layers of Sword Qi and slammed into his body. Even though he had spirit armor and protective Gang Qi, it was of no use.
"No!"
Amidst a series of heart-wrenching screams filled with resentment and regret, the leader of the Tianhai Gang, like a mortal struck by an aerial cannon, exploded into a bloody mist on the spot.
"Bang!"
The figure that had just charged into the void with a tragic and resolute charge turned into a pile of fragments and fell down.
The breath of life quickly faded from him.
And to witness firsthand how Yuan True Lord, a true Primordial Spirit, went from a desperate struggle fueled by burning his essence and spirit to his demise...
The three True Lords of the Purgatory Sect, Cold Moon Sect, and Yellow Spring Sect in the arena simultaneously had their pupils shrink.
"That kind of weapon..."
Imagine the terrifying speed at which those weapons are fired...
An unprecedented chill permeated the entire bodies of Lu Zhanxian, Leng Ningshuang, Youquan Laozu, and others.
