The more than one hundred relatively intact Divine Wood spaceships that had been guarding the rear of the legion finally moved! They were no longer just troop transport ships and energy supply nodes, but like an enraged swarm of bees, they broke away from the main formation, arranged themselves into an attack formation, and surrounded the Kurama Interstellar Aircraft Carrier!
Each of the divine wood spaceships is essentially a mobile energy source of the Ten-Tails! The wooden structure at their bows has cracked, revealing the core within— Tailed Beast Bomb muzzle constructed from the energy of the terrifying Ten-Tails!
"High-energy reactions detected! More than one hundred! They're from those Divine Wood spaceships!" Inside the bridge of the Kurama Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, the alarm blared mournfully.
The relaxed expressions on Naruto Uzumaki and the captain's faces disappeared, replaced by solemnity.
More than a hundred Shenmu spaceships, each equivalent to Ten-Tails, simultaneously aimed at each other, and the energy fluctuations caused the entire space to tremble!
"All energy prioritized for the shield! Maneuver and evade! Secondary guns intercept and fire! Tailed Beast Bomb at maximum power, take down the leader!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted the order with all his might.
The massive Kurama began to perform large-scale evasive maneuvers, its dark red armor shining brightly, and a thick energy shield instantly deployed. Its nine tails danced wildly, condensing into a super-large Tailed Beast energy cannon, which was the first to blast at the leading few Divine Wood ships.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Divine Tree spaceship also launched massive Ten-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb, which collided with the energy cannons, unleashing a light more dazzling than any previous explosion. Some Divine Tree spaceships were directly hit by the Tailed Beast Bomb, their hulls shattering into giant fireworks in space; but many more energy cannons slammed into the Kurama's energy shields!
The shields rippled violently, emitting a strained hum. A violent tremor also emanated from inside the ship.
"Shield energy reduced to 65%! Some external armor overheating!"
"Keep attacking! Don't stop! Have the fighter jets and mechs harass their flanks!" Naruto roared. He could feel Kurama's restlessness and excitement within him, the fighting spirit of encountering an opponent of equal energy level.
In an instant, the Kurama Interstellar Aircraft Carrier and hundreds of Divine Wood spaceships engaged in an earth-shattering battle of giant ships and cannons on this vast space battlefield! Energy beams crisscrossed, and Kakkō erupted one after another, creating a magnificent yet tragic scene.
The clash between the Kurama Interstellar Aircraft Carrier and hundreds of Shenmu spaceships has become the new focus of the battlefield.
The aftershocks of the collision of energy torrents swept around like a destructive storm. Some of the closer Ten Family Golden Core groups or Ōtsutsuki squads were unable to evacuate in time and were instantly vaporized by the terrifying energy shockwaves, unable to even utter a scream.
This is the terrifying power of top-tier weapons of war; their clashes themselves become a massive death zone.
Relying on its thick hide, abundant energy, and fierce firepower, the Kurama withstood the siege of hundreds of Divine Wood ships. Although its shield energy was continuously decreasing and its hull had suffered some damage, it still stood firm and destroyed one Divine Wood ship after another with astonishing efficiency. Its nine tails were like living tentacles, sometimes launching Tailed Beast Bomb, sometimes lashing at approaching enemy ships like giant whips, snapping a Divine Wood ship in half!
Those divine wood spaceships were also extremely troublesome. They were highly maneuverable, their energy cannons were incredibly powerful, and they seemed to be able to transfer energy to each other, forming a combined shield, or perform short-distance space jumps to avoid fatal attacks. Like a pack of wolves, they relentlessly entangled the Kurama, this cosmic behemoth, depleting its energy and defenses at all costs.
Naruto Uzumaki and all the crew members on the aircraft carrier were under immense pressure. Their nerves were on edge, their hands flew across the control consoles, and their backs were soaked with sweat. Every violent flash of the shields and every tremor of the ship tugged at their heartstrings.
"Port side shield overloaded! Thrusters No. 3 and No. 7 damaged!"
"The tail is under concentrated fire! The Tailed Beast Bomb launcher array's charging has slowed down!"
Bad news kept coming, but the good news was that the number of Shenmu spaceships was also decreasing sharply, from more than one hundred to less than seventy.
"Hold on! They can't hold on much longer!" Naruto encouraged everyone, while simultaneously channeling his Senjutsu Chakra into the aircraft carrier's energy circuit through a special device, attempting to accelerate the condensation of the Tailed Beast Bomb.
On the other hand, with the Shenmu spaceship having a large amount of firepower tied up by the Kurama, the pressure on the Ten Family Legion was greatly reduced.
Tian Yu and Tenchu led their clan members to more efficiently eliminate the remaining Ōtsutsuki ground (space) forces. Without the continuous resurrection from medics and the long-range support from the Shinki spaceship, these Ōtsutsuki soldiers, though still elite, were simply slaughtered in the face of absolute power disparity and perfect teamwork.
The formation was completely broken, and the Ōtsutsuki soldiers, fighting individually, could no longer organize an effective resistance. The success rate of the Shadow Assassins' sneak attacks was greatly reduced with the Ten Family members on guard and with a powerful expert like Tian Yu in charge. They were often killed instantly by concentrated fire as soon as they appeared. The suicide bombers were also the main targets, and they were detonated by ranged spells or flying swords before they could even get close.
The battlefield turned into a one-sided cleanup operation.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Orochimaru had a "feast". He even sneaked up to a Sacred Tree spaceship that had been severely damaged by the Kurama and lost power. Looking at the exposed wooden structure and energy pipes that exuded a strong aura of the God Tree, his golden snake eyes were filled with greed.
"Hehe... this is... the real delicacy..." He climbed onto the wreckage of the Divine Wood Spaceship like a gecko, and began to frantically devour and absorb the energy contained within the Ten-Tails of the Divine Wood Spaceship...
Just as the situation on the main battlefield was gradually becoming clear, with the Ten Family and the Kurama joining forces to gain an absolute advantage.
Far from the battlefield, in the endless depths of the void, a battle that will truly determine victory or defeat has only just begun.
There are no Xingchen, no light, only eternal darkness and cold.
The Immortal King Tsubasa and the Ōtsutsuki Ran stood facing each other across thousands of miles.
Neither of them made a move immediately, but they remained suspended in silence. However, the aura emanating from them caused the deathly still void to distort and tremble. Invisible domains collided, and the rules wailed.
"Wild Star Domain Level... State your name." Ōtsutsuki Ran spoke first, his voice cold, carrying the arrogance of a superior race, but beneath that arrogance lay a barely perceptible sense of apprehension. The condensed and powerful aura emanating from Tsubasa made him feel alarmed.
" Shinobi World, Tsubasa." Tsubasa's answer was simple, his gaze calm, like a bottomless, icy pool. "You shouldn't have come here."
"All things in the universe are nourishment for the Ōtsutsuki. Your planet and that mutated God Tree have long been marked by the clan's higher-ups," Ōtsutsuki Ran said coldly. "Stubborn resistance will only lead to destruction. If you are willing to submit and offer up the coordinates of this planet and that mutated God Tree, perhaps your life can be spared, and you can become a vassal of my clan."
Tsubasa laughed, a laugh tinged with sarcasm and unwavering confidence, "Submission? Subservience? With what? Or with your so-called ' Ōtsutsuki regular army,' which is about to be wiped out by my children and grandchildren and the Nine-Tails?"
Ōtsutsuki Ran's expression darkened; he had naturally sensed the unfavorable situation on the main battlefield. He hadn't expected that this Wild Star, besides Tsubasa, a Domain Level cultivator, would have so many Peak Golden Core cultivators ( Half-Step Immortal King ) and those terrifying interstellar carrier steel behemoths. This was completely beyond his understanding of "Wild Star."
"Sharp-tongued! It seems that only by completely suppressing you and extracting your domain core can you understand the majesty of the strongest race in the universe!"
Without another word, Ōtsutsuki Ran formed a hand Hand Seals, and the void behind him trembled. Suddenly, an enormous phantom of a God Tree, exuding an aura that devoured all things, appeared! That was his "domain"—the God Tree Devouring Domain!
" God Tree Domain, expand! All Things Return to the Void!"
A terrifying devouring power spread out from him, unable to even escape the light, as if to form a dark cage that would devour everything, consuming Tsubasa along with this void!
Faced with this domain that would make even ordinary Immortal King tremble, Tsubasa simply raised his hand slowly.
In his eyes, the sun, moon Xingchen are fading away, and the vast universe is flowing endlessly.
"A frog at the bottom of a well dares to boast of swallowing the heavens? Today I'll show you what my Jūni-Grade Golden Lotus truly is!"
boom!
An even more powerful and domineering will, seemingly surpassing all the heavens and myriad realms, erupted from Tsubasa! His "Domain" unfolded!
