Ta-da! Ah...!
The screams of the Devil Race heavy cavalry echoed across the plains. The Hegemon Cavalry were completely unaffected by the gravity rune. They were like a long spear, piercing straight into the center of the Devil Race heavy cavalry regiment. They charged back and forth, and in less than a few dozen breaths, they had decimated the Devil Race heavy cavalry.
Even without the charge, the Devil Race heavy cavalry should not have been so easily slaughtered.
However, their heavy armor was already extremely heavy, and with the added effect of the gravity rune, many of the Devil Race heavy cavalry could not even unleash half of their strength. As a result, most of them died in a very frustrating manner.
The army that arrived from behind was also affected by the gravity talisman, and its advance speed was greatly reduced. It could only watch helplessly as the troops in front of it were slaughtered, and it was furious.
"We've fallen for their trap! Quick, the gravity runes are only three meters underground. Everyone, keep moving forward and digging down. Find a way to dig them all out and destroy them!"
Ahriman had already located the gravity rune the instant it was activated, but this seemed to be of little use.
The Devil Race soldiers had to dig up the gravity runes while advancing, which would only slow them down further. But they couldn't stop digging either; if the gravity runes remained there, it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on their retreat or other tactics.
However, among the Abyss Devil Race, there are also races that know how to burrow underground. Although their numbers are small, with their cooperation, the speed at which gravity runes are cleared is much faster.
"Damn it, those lowly humans, how dare they do such a thing!"
Ahriman watched as Yin Zhan led the Hegemon Cavalry to easily kill a large number of heavy cavalry, and he was so angry that he wanted to take action himself.
Clang...!
At that moment, a sharp sword aura rose from No. 1 Base, locking onto Ahriman. Ahriman looked up and revealed a wary expression.
"This sword intent belongs to the Sword-Questioning Sect. Have they intervened as well?"
Although the Abyss Devil Race Clan is much stronger than the Sword-Questioning Sect, it doesn't mean they are willing to provoke the Sword-Questioning Sect. This is because the Abyss Devil Race is also divided into many factions, which are based in different parts of the universe. The one that attacked Pan Emperor Continent was only one of them.
Although the Sword-Questioning Sect is not powerful, its members are free from desires and focus solely on self-cultivation. In the vast star field, most forces are unwilling to provoke such people.
To put it bluntly, the Sword-Questioning Sect is like someone with nothing to lose who has nothing to fear. If you provoke them, even if they can't beat you, they can still cause trouble in your world and kill your clansmen and disciples. That would be a headache for any power.
Although the Sword-Questioning Sect is only located in a lower plane, that plane is extremely condensed and very small in area, making it very difficult to find them in the starry sky. Even if they are found, they can control the plane to move very quickly, so it is not easy for even gods to hunt them down.
Seeing that Ahriman was locked onto by the enemy's sword intent, Katelin was not to be outdone. With a wave of her hand, she led more than a dozen Emperor Level experts into the air at the same time, and their powerful aura pressed down hard on No. 1 Base.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!
In No. 1 Base, six Emperor Level experts from the Chen Kingdom's side also took to the air.
These six powerful individuals are Zhou Sen, Wang Lixing, Mingye, Little White Fox, Chen Duo, and Zheng Fengdao.
Of these six people, only four have actually reached the Emperor Level. Chen Duo and Zheng Fengdao are still half a step away from the Creation Realm, but with the top-notch equipment provided to them by the Rune Research Institute, their strength is no less than that of the Early Emperor Level.
Since the Chen Kingdom occupied Yi Province and Moon Capital Pass, it has acquired a considerable amount of raw materials for making liquid armor. Therefore, apart from Zheng Fengdao, several other people in the Chen Kingdom now possess complete liquid armor, resulting in a surge in their combat power.
Among the six people in the air, Zhou Sen was undoubtedly the strongest. As the third-ranked disciple of the Sword-Questioning Sect in this generation, his strength was already qualified to be among the top fifty on the Heaven Ranking, and he could completely overpower Ahriman.
Of the five generals of the Black Demon Emperor, Katelin is the one he values most, but her actual combat strength is only around 95th on the Black Demon Emperor Heaven Ranking. Asna, who was defeated by Chen Mu, is the weakest of the five generals and can barely make it to the bottom of the Heaven Ranking.
Ahriman is the strongest among the five generals, ranking around 85th on the Heaven Ranking. Previously at Moon Capital Pass, if it weren't for the numerous pieces of equipment that Chen Mu designed for Mingye, she wouldn't have been able to hold off the opponent for so long.
" Sword-Questioning Sect, are you sure you want to interfere in this fight?"
If you are willing to leave, how about I give you three ' World Crystal '?
This wasn't Ahriman's first time dealing with the Sword-Questioning Sect, so he made this request.
When Azure Waves Pass was breached, Wei Shan had already Sword-Questioning Sect Master for help, but the Sword-Questioning Sect Master only sent people to rescue a few core members of the Wei Clan and had no intention of intervening in the battle.
Therefore, Ahriman knew that the appearance of this Sword-Questioning Sect disciple here was likely of his own volition, and not an order from the Sword-Questioning Sect.
In that case, the disciples of the Sword-Questioning Sect are very likely there for the reward, which makes bribery a possibility.
"Tsk tsk... You're actually willing to give up three World Crystal, that's really tempting!"
It seems I really need to seriously consider this.
Upon hearing Ahriman's terms, Zhou Sen actually showed a thoughtful expression.
The so-called World Crystal is actually a precious mineral that circulates throughout the star fields. It contains pure World Power, which is very beneficial to the cultivation of cultivators above the Emperor Level. It is similar to the significance of Spirit Stone to martial cultivators in the Pan Emperor Continent. It can also be used as a currency for exchange in the star fields.
The value of World Crystal is much greater than that of Eighth-Grade Spirit Stone, but it is only a few dozen times stronger, and it is still inferior to the legendary Ninth-Grade Spirit Stone.
However, Ahriman was willing to pay three World Crystal in order to prevent Zhou Sen from interfering, which was quite a generous offer.
"Senior..."
Chen Duo panicked, fearing that Zhou Sen would actually agree to the other party's request, and tried to persuade him, but was stopped by Mingye's telepathic message.
" Duoduo, don't worry, Senior Zhou is just stalling for time."
Chen Duo then realized what was happening and immediately shut her mouth.
At this moment, the Chen Kingdom's army of millions had already surrounded them, preparing to launch an attack from behind the Black Demon Emperor.
Meanwhile, ahead of the Black Demon Emperor's army, although they were getting closer and closer to No. 1 Base, the Hegemon Cavalry had already wiped out nearly all of the 30,000 enemy heavy cavalry.
The overall situation on the battlefield is undoubtedly developing in a direction favorable to the Chen Kingdom.
