Whoosh! Countless red-light runes surged across the spirit cannons, turning into astonishing spiritual light that pulsed and swelled within their muzzles...

Boom, boom, boom!!! Explosions roared like a furious tempest as countless red beams dozens of zhang wide blasted wildly from the spirit cannons. In moments, they tore through the void, blasting countless fissures into it as they hurtled toward the Dragon Cultivators pursuing the Human Race cultivators several hundred li ahead...
One advantage of the Race Battlefield was that, unlike a star realm, it had no mountains, atmosphere, or other obstructions, allowing cultivators to see much farther. With eyesight far beyond that of ordinary people, even an average cultivator could normally see several hundred li. For someone like Li Xiaoya, whose five senses were astonishingly sharp, seeing five or six hundred li was perfectly normal...

Their firing speed was astonishing, and although they were not large,
