"Old man, what other tricks do you have?"
Nezha's voice still hung in the void, and the firelight underneath Wind-Fire Wheels made half of his face red.
Bai Wuji stood above the shattered Black City Ruins, his chest heaving violently, and Golden Robe's front was torn open several times by the shock wave, revealing the inner armor with a metallic luster.
He didn't reply.
The scene in front of him left him speechless - the thousands of space armed fortresses on the outer defense line, each of which had consumed hundreds of years of resource accumulation by the alliance, were now reduced to debris floating in the sea of stars.
The metal fragments were tumbling, carrying residual heat and slowly spreading in the void.
"Alliance Leader, the outer defense line is completely destroyed."
A System Host flew up from the third floor of Black City, his voice trembling.
"The first layer Defensive Array is also broken, and the second layer only has Thirty Percent energy left, which won't last long."
Bai Wuji gritted his back teeth and didn't look at him.
His eyes were fixed on Nezha.
"You bounced Planetary Annihilation Cannon's energy back."
Nezha tilted his head, Fire-Tipped Spear put it on his shoulder.
"Otherwise? If your crappy cannon comes over, I can't just stand and get beaten."
Bai Wuji's Adam's apple rolled.
It's not like he hasn't seen strong people before. The alliance has been established for thousands of years, and he has encountered all kinds of opponents.
But a Quasi-Immortal Emperor bounces back the full power output of a Planetary Annihilation Cannon intact, with a tenfold increase - he has never even heard of such a thing.
"System." He shouted in his mind.
The mechanical voice in my mind immediately sounded.
"Ding, host, please speak."
"Analyzing the principle of the blow just now, how did he do it?"
"Ding, analysis is in progress... analysis completed."
"The target used 'Self-Manifestation Technique' to disperse its existence, interfered with the locking system of Planetary Annihilation Cannon until it failed, and then used an unknown magic weapon to absorb the energy and release it in reverse."
"This magical material seems to contain Heaven-Opening Divine Axe Fragment, which has the properties of Chaos Origin and can deconstruct and reorganize any form of energy."
"Conclusion: Planetary Annihilation Cannon is ineffective against this target."
Bai Wuji's temples jumped twice.
"Invalid?"
"Ding, yes. It is recommended that the host changes its attack strategy."
Nezha shouted in the distance.
"Hey, old man, why are you dazed over there? Do you want to fight? If not, I can go back to eat."
Bai Wuji swallowed back the mouthful of blood that surged into his throat.
He raised his right hand, and the skin on his palm began to crack, and golden lines spread from the fingers.
"System, enable the highest authority for the alliance."
"Ding, please host enter the permission key."
"Key: Bai Wuji, alliance Alliance Leader, number 001."
"Ding, the verification passed. The highest authority has been enabled. The host can call all reserve resources of the alliance."
Bai Wuji Take a deep breath.
"Ring Red Alert."
As soon as these four words were spoken, the face of System Host, who was reporting the battle situation behind him, turned pale.
"Alliance Leader, Red Alert? That's--"
"I know what it is."
Bai Wuji's voice is very flat, but every word seems to be squeezed out from between the teeth.
"The outer defense line is gone, Defensive Array cannot hold on, and Planetary Annihilation Cannon is also rebounded."
"Tell me, besides Red Alert, what other choices do I have?"
The host opened his mouth but said no more.
The next moment, the entire black Black City lit up with a dazzling red light.
Red light gushed out from the inside of Black City, spreading layer by layer to the nine-story city wall, as if some ancient Runes was ignited.
Myriad Heavens Divine Vessel Control Room, the system prompts the sound.
"Ding, the enemy has been detected and activated up to Red Alert."
"This alarm is Ultimate Defense Protocol of the Main God Alliance. Once activated, it will awaken all reserve forces of the alliance."
Gu Changqing's hand holding the tea bowl paused for a moment.
"All reserve forces?"
"Ding, yes. Including but not limited to: the network increase of all Elder-level Hosts systems in the alliance, the overload operation of Black City ninth floor Defensive Array, and--"
The system paused for a moment.
"And 'Ultimate Defense Weapon' sealed in the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea."
Yang Jian turned his head.
"Ultimate Defense Weapon?"
Gu Changqing put down the tea bowl and moved his brows.
"System, what is this Ultimate Defense Weapon?"
"Ding, there is no detailed record in the database. There is only a vague description-'Remnant of the Old Ones, an indescribable thing.'"
Tongtian took two steps and stood in front of Star Map.
"Remnant of the Old Ones? I have seen this statement in an ancient book."
Kong Xuan looked at him.
"What ancient book?"
"Before Investiture of the Gods War, there is a volume of fragmentary pages in Master's Library, which records some things from Myriad Worlds before Creation."
Tongtian's voice lowered by half a minute.
"It says that before Chaos was opened, there were some beings that were born before the heaven and earth. They had no body, no consciousness, only instinct. After Pangu Heaven-Opening, most of these things were wiped out, but a very few survived and were sleeping in every corner of Myriad Worlds."
The voice of Nezha came from Communication Array.
"Brother, what do those things you mentioned have to do with the Main God Alliance's Ultimate Defense Weapon?"
Tongtian did not answer.
He looked at Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing's expression was nothing Transformation, but his fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the teacup twice.
"It does matter."
He spoke.
"Main God Alliance has been operating in the Chaotic Star Sea for so many years. It is impossible that there is no trump card. No matter how many System Host are, they are just chess pieces. The real trump card must be something they dug out from the depths of this sea of stars."
Yang Jian held Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade tightly.
"Master means they dug up a Olden Days Ancient God?"
Gu Changqing looked out the window at the black Black City that flashed red light.
The bottom layer of Black City is cracking.
Underneath the foundation, a faint green light is slowly seeping out.
The color of that light does not belong to any known Law system.
Just one look at it makes one's scalp feel tight.
Gu Changqing put the tea bowl on the table and stood up.
"Notify Nezha to return it."
Yang Jian was stunned.
"Master?"
"Ask him to come back." Gu Changqing repeated, his tone a little darker than before, "The next thing is not something he can touch now."
