Destruction of Mulong Kingdom
Chenyu.
Dragon Shepherd Kingdom.
Compared to a few years ago, the territory of Mulong Kingdom has expanded more than three times, and its population has increased from tens of millions to over one hundred million.
Correspondingly, thanks to the support of researchers from the Starshine Federation, the entire Mulong Kingdom has almost completed industrialization.
The steel-built railways can deliver the troops of the Mulong Kingdom to every corner in the shortest possible time.
Trucks with a carrying capacity of tens of tons can carry large quantities of ammunition and soldiers to the front lines.
Meanwhile, frontline soldiers with specialized training can kill heavily armored cultivators who have undergone internal Organ Refining, Blood Changing, or even achieved mastery of True Qi with just a machine gun.
Even experts at the Spirit Refining, Spirit Transformation, and Primordial Spirit realms would only face certain death if surrounded and riddled with machine gun fire.
The only ones capable of inflicting significant damage on the soldiers are the Celestial Person and Saints who stand at the very top of the cultivation world.
However, as long as the soldiers are fearless and pay a certain price to entangle them, the rear of the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom can still saturate the Celestial Person and saints with heavy artillery bombardment.
It was precisely with the support of the Starshine Federation and the advanced weapons of war that the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom, led by Zhang Yun and Edren, was able to conquer a vast territory in just a few years, showing great potential to become a hegemon in this world.
But...
If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
A month ago, they seemed to have finally encountered another dominant force in this region.
A powerful force known as the Beast God Alliance.
This force not only governs a larger population than the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom, but they also possess the power to tame and strengthen Demonic Beasts. Demonic Beasts, the kingdom itself seems incredibly powerful, boasting not only beings revered as True Immortals on Earth, but also, it is said, a true True Immortal Ancestor. This has put immense pressure on the entire Dragon Shepherd Kingdom.
At this moment, Edren, Zhang Yun, and Olsen, a newly arrived military expert, were looking at the squad equipped with mechanical exoskeletons with Orthodox God expressions.
The team looked quite disheveled.
Not only was the equipment severely damaged, but everyone was also injured, with many suffering so badly that they had lost limbs.
"No need to be so serious, gentlemen."
After a long while, Zhang Yun finally spoke, "Although the Immortal Slayer Team failed, at least they figured out the difference between a True Immortal on Earth and a Saint."
"Although we suffered a crushing defeat in this ambush against a True Immortal on Earth, we have indeed obtained some firsthand data."
As Olsen spoke, he directly opened a tactical tablet brought from the Starshine Federation: "The bodies of Saints are generally around ten meters tall, but True Immortals on Earth can reach fifteen, twenty, or even twenty-five meters. They are veritable giants. In addition, they have cultivated a power called 'Undying Will.' Through the penetration of this power, their Saintly bodies are much stronger than those of Saints in every aspect. Even our heavy artillery cannot harm their Saintly bodies."
"This was expected."
Zhang Yun said, "As early as when we allowed the Mulong Kingdom to expand, we anticipated that we would encounter setbacks. We are not afraid of Saints, but Saints are not the ultimate in this world. We have long known that above the cultivation system of this world are the True Immortals of the Land, and the True Immortals of the World who are said to be able to live for thousands of years and live forever! Therefore, being defeated by the True Immortals of the Land is only reasonable."
"Land Immortals... Based on the data they've demonstrated... their defenses are strong enough to withstand heavy artillery, their speeds are two to three times the speed of sound! And their regenerative abilities and strength far surpassing that of a Saint... I'm afraid that even in the Star Glory Federation, only a handful of advanced weapons could deal with them. If a true Immortal residing in the world were to arrive... wouldn't only nuclear weapons be able to annihilate them?"
Edren's expression was somewhat grim. "Even... if the opponent's speed is faster than a True Immortal on Earth, reaching four or even five times the speed of sound, we would have no choice but to launch a saturation bombardment of ten or dozens of nuclear missiles at once to perish together with him!"
"I'm afraid that's true; they're too fast and too agile."
Olsen then changed the subject. "However, we don't need to be too pessimistic. True Immortals who reside in the world are legendary figures who appear only once every hundred years. Even if they exist, their numbers will definitely not be many. Although this world is very large, I estimate that there can only be ten or eight at most."
He smiled and said, "In addition, we have obtained a lot of new materials in this world. By sending the data on these materials over, our technology will definitely be improved. We can then design a new type of missile that is highly flexible, has strong tracking capabilities, and is fast, specifically for high-speed targets. We can then transport it here with a nuclear warhead, and it will be no exaggeration to bombard the immortals residing in this world."
His words relieved Edren, who was mainly in charge of the battle.
It's good that there's a way to deal with it.
The real danger is that those true immortals are so powerful that they are impossible to defeat; then we'll be completely helpless.
"By the way, it seems the signal sent from the Star Spirit Observatory suddenly stopped a few days ago. Have you found out what caused it?"
Edren suddenly asked a question.
"We have made contact with the backup system over there through the communication system. The Star Spirit Observatory has been attacked and severely damaged."
Zhang Yundao.
"What? What are those people at the Department of Defense doing? They actually let someone infiltrate the heart of the Federation and destroy such an important facility as the Star Spirit Observatory!?"
Olsen was shocked.
"It is said that they were attacked by a new type of equipment, and the other side used a high-power electromagnetic pulse weapon, so they were caught off guard."
As Zhang Yun spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, we still have a backup Star Spirit Platform available. We need to check the coordinates here so we can connect to the backup Star Spirit Platform next time."
"This is no excuse for allowing the enemy to penetrate deep into the Federation's territory and destroy such a crucial building as the Star Spirit Observatory! Who was responsible for guarding the Star Spirit Observatory? To achieve such a result is a disgrace to the Federation!"
Olsen cursed as he ordered people to adjust the calibration coordinates.
"Beep!"
Just then, a piercing air raid siren sounded.
Immediately afterwards, it appeared as if a fighter jet was being shot down in mid-air on the horizon.
Then dozens of missiles soared into the sky, while the close-in weapon systems on the ground fired trails of bullets, seemingly attacking some target.
But...
It's useless.
All attack methods were useless against that rapidly invading target.
Amidst flames and roars, the enormous figure drew ever closer to the military base where they were located.
"Sir, a powerful enemy is attacking!"
Soon, several guards rushed in, saying in a panic, "This powerful attacker is not only physically strong, able to withstand heavy artillery fire unscathed, but also enormous, reaching a height of forty-six meters! It exceeds the limits of what we know of a true immortal on land! It's highly likely..."
"A True Immortal Residing in This World!"
Edren suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "It's a True Immortal who has remained in this world!"
Zhang Yun and Olsen turned pale instantly.
Them...
This is an attack from a True Immortal who has reached the mortal realm!?
"How could this be... We've only just begun making contact with the Beast God Alliance, how did we directly attract an attack from a True Immortal, a supreme power!?"
There was some resentment in Zhang Yun's eyes.
"This True Immortal is probably only being beheaded; on the other hand, the Beast God Alliance's counterattack will arrive soon..."
Edlen said.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, his subordinates reported in a panic, "Demonic Beasts! So many Demonic Beasts! These Demonic Beasts are incredibly powerful. They have utterly crushed our garrison and are marching straight into the heart of our Dragon Shepherd Kingdom..."
It's over.
We've offended a force we can't afford to offend.
Zhang Yun and Olsen looked bitter.
"We were too hasty. If we could calmly develop here for ten years, or even five, and complete the manufacture of atomic weapons, we could threaten the True Immortals residing in this world. At that time, we would have enough confidence to face this so-called Beast God Alliance. But now... our high profile has obviously aroused the fear of those truly giant forces in this world. They have come out in full force, seemingly determined to destroy us in one fell swoop."
Olsen said.
"We can't stop the Immortals of the World, nor can we defeat the Beast God Alliance. Now, we have no choice but to retreat first and find an opportunity to make a comeback. At the same time, we must have our soldiers fight at all costs to obtain the complete data of the Immortals of the World and transmit this data to the Federation to prepare the Federation for fighting against such ultimate cultivators."
Zhang Yun forced himself to calm down and issued orders to maximize profits.
"This is the only way. Damn it, the Star Spirit Platform has been destroyed again... How long will it take to regain everything we have now?"
Olsen felt a pang of regret.
Time!
They can wait, but can the bigwigs in the Federation wait?
Do they have the lifespan to wait any longer?
When their lifespan is about to end, will they choose to reluctantly give up their management of the world of immortality, or will they become more adventurous and radical, willing to do anything?
Faced with the arrival of the immortals, the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom, led by Edlun, Zhang Yun, and others, had no chance to put up a fight and was crushed on the spot.
However, they were fortunate that they were all very weak, and that the immortal who resided in the world first killed those experts who had surrendered to them, such as those who had reached the Spirit Refining, Spirit Transformation, and Primordial Spirit stages. This allowed them to save their lives and even send back a lot of information about that immortal who resided in the world.
Three days later, the Demonic Beasts army of the Beast God Alliance completely invaded the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom.
The once mighty Mulong Kingdom was completely destroyed.
After the Demonic Beasts had completely occupied the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom, figures as large as mountains descended upon the land with a suffocating sense of oppression.
The leader was none other than the Crimson Firefly Devil Master.
"The Star Spirit Platform has been destroyed? Why did the news come out at the exact moment we were attacking the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom? This has probably alerted them. If we want them to build a Star Gate there again, we'll have to rely on the Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord to come up with a solution."
The spiritual fluctuations of the Crimson Firefly Devil Master echoed in the ears of several demon gods and demon emperors in the surrounding area.
This includes the Trayastrimsa Spirit Lord, who also created the body of a Demon Emperor.
"It's not necessarily true that beating the grass will alert the snake."
The Thousand Flame Demon Emperor reacted quickly. "That world had already made contingency plans to start a war with us. Fortunately, to this day, that world does not know our true identity and strength."
The Xuan Yang Demon God, standing nearby, quickly realized something. "You mean, even if they know that the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom has been destroyed, as long as the strength we display gives them the illusion that they can handle it, they will still continue to build the Star Gate to connect the two worlds?"
"Good."
As he spoke, the Thousand Flame Demon Emperor quickly explained the information and analysis he had gathered.
After listening, the Crimson Firefly Overlord had a plan. "There must still be some fish that have slipped through the net in the Dragon Shepherd Kingdom, right? We need to expose the strength of the Beast God Alliance and make them believe that the Beast God Alliance represents the upper limit of our world."
The sovereign-level Demonic Spirit said meaningfully, "Caution and fear stem from the unknown and inadequacy. When they think they know us perfectly well, they will eagerly open the door to destroy their civilization without us even having to lift a finger."
