I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 143 - 138: A Thousand Cannons Roar in Unison

Chapter 143: Chapter 138: A Thousand Cannons Roar in Unison

Mirror Image Alternate Space.

Jiang Hou, sitting in the military vehicle, took a deep breath upon entering.

On both sides of the entrance city, almost entirely packed with dense formations of large-caliber artillery, howitzers, and rocket launchers.

The number of artillery pieces exceeded a thousand. With the addition of those howitzers and rocket launch sites, have all the artillery battalions from other military districts been transferred here in the past week?

As the military vehicle passed through the city, Jiang Hou also noticed armed helicopters stationed on some rooftops.

Near the river by the old town, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns were mounted on top of the high-rise buildings, aimed at the opposite old town, resembling a fortress.

Soon, the military vehicle stopped in front of the massive Demon Suppression Pillar.

Compared to the black steel column, a hundred meters long and eight meters in diameter, the Humvee-sized military vehicle seemed like a small toy, unable to comprehend the impact without being near it.

Seeing Jiang Hou step down from the vehicle, Zong Zheng Nan Mo, sitting on the riverbank in the distance, immediately had his eyes light up, surrounded by a whirlwind of blue wind, running over in a few blinks.

"Jiang Hou, you’ve arrived."

Duan Xuan, Jiang Wanshan, and Fu Hongyu, along with the woman named Li Mo, also followed him.

Upon approaching, Duan Xuan and the others were surprised, noticing the significant changes in Jiang Hou after a week’s absence, whether in his demeanor or the seemingly oppressive aura he emitted.

"Tier Three Peak, not bad." Jiang Hou smiled, nodding in greeting to Duan Xuan and the others.

"Indeed," Zong Zheng Nan Mo said with some pride.

His original goal was to break through Late-tier Three before the invasion, but whether due to the lightning strike or the invisible blessing Jiang Ruochan referred to, he felt no pollution after breaking through Late-tier Three a few days ago.

He then decisively exchanged all remaining points for Mid-level Energy Crystals, quickly reaching Tier Three Peak.

This past week, while guarding day and night, he killed over a hundred low-tier monsters, including around twenty Tier Three ones, earning over a thousand points.

Not only him, but others in the Celestial Punishment Branch also saw significant growth in their strength.

Duan Xuan directly entered Tier Four, and both Fu Hongyu and Jiang Wanshan successfully broke through to Mid-tier Four, progressing quickly.

At this point, Zong Zheng Nan Mo clearly sensed Jiang Hou’s change in aura, curiously asking, "By the way, Jiang Hou, judging by your appearance, have you broken through to Tier Four Peak?"

Jiang Hou smiled slightly, "Not bad, I’ve had a fruitful few days, and luckily stepped into Tier Five."

Gasp!!

Cough, cough, cough!!

Everyone present choked on their saliva, looking incredulously at Jiang Hou.

Early-tier Five, how is that possible!?

Before Zong Zheng Nan Mo, who was equally shocked, could speak, Xiong Chao reminded, "Lieutenant Jiang, time is of the essence, let’s refine the Demon Pillar first."

"Alright."

Jiang Hou nodded, waving to Zong Zheng Nan Mo and the others, "I’ll take care of this first, let’s talk later."

With everyone watching, Jiang Hou and Xiong Chao moved to the other end of the Demon Suppression Pillar, inscribed with the words "Celestial Spirit," and leapt onto the steel column.

Following Xiong Chao’s instructions, Jiang Hou pointed his right index finger like a gun, with an invisible sharpness piercing his chest and penetrating the surface of his heart, forcibly expelling two drops of heart blood.

This blood contained a soul aura, resembling two red gemstones, slowly flying out surrounded by invisible power.

Suddenly, a hot aura of energy and blood spread, giving the illusion that it wasn’t two drops of blood, but two vats.

"He’s ruthless to himself!" The red-haired Li Mo’s beautiful face showed admiration as she watched the black-haired youth tear open his chest without changing expression.

Xiong Chao reached out and grasped the two drops of heart blood, with a faint red power appearing in his hand, then directly slapped the two drops onto the middle of the "Celestial Spirit" inscription below.

Buzz! Red threads spread from Xiong Chao as the center, continuously extending along the steel patterns on the Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar, finally merging completely with the steel column.

"What a peculiar ability." Jiang Hou was a bit surprised, as the heart blood merged with the steel column, he instantly felt a vague connection to the Demon Suppression Pillar beneath him.

Xiong Chao patted his palms, looking satisfied, "Done, Lieutenant Jiang, from now on, the Demon Pillar won’t resist the infusion of your aura."

"However, to strengthen the connection between the two, you should wash the Demon Pillar with Spiritual Power several times."

"Since my part is done here, I’ll head back now." The honest young man waved to Jiang Hou and hopped into the military vehicle to leave.

He belonged to the support department, only responsible for crafting Extraordinary Weapons, uninterested in combat.

Following Xiong Chao’s advice, after his departure, Jiang Hou directly sat cross-legged atop the Demon Pillar, letting his vast Spiritual Power gradually merge into the steel column underneath, suddenly feeling a cold touch.

Simultaneously, a great aura belonging to Early-tier Five spread across Jiang Hou’s body.

"It’s actually true, Early-tier Five, and this huge steel column weapon is Brother Jiang’s?" Duan Xuan swallowed, feeling bewildered.

The Early-tier Five strength was astonishing, but forget Tier Five, even Tier Six Peak Xia Longyuan couldn’t lift such a heavy steel column as a weapon.

"I get it," Zong Zheng Nan Mo suddenly spoke, startling Duan Xuan and the others.

Jiang Wanshan instinctively asked, "Get what?"

"Earlier Jiang Hou mentioned to me he spent over ten thousand points buying some iron column, so it was this," Zong Zheng Nan Mo realized.

Over ten thousand points!! Fu Hongyu and the others were utterly dumbfounded.

Yet, before they could inquire further, Feng Qing’s voice came through the earpiece, "The spatial density is beginning to rise significantly. All main combat and reserve members, take positions and prepare for impact."

Everyone’s expressions immediately grew solemn. Jiang Wanshan and the others dared not delay, rushing to their respective posts.

The place to intercept the monsters this time is located between the old town and the new town, where the terrain rises on both sides, and the middle is connected by two large bridges.

However, in the Mirror Image Alternate Space, there is no river water; instead, it’s a sunken river course, about five kilometers in length on both sides, with the widest part being just over two hundred meters.

According to the ’battle plan’ transmitted from the smartwatches, Jiang Hou and Xia Longyuan each defend a large bridge, separated by three kilometers in between.

On Jiang Hou’s left are Duan Xuan at Early-tier Four, Jiang Wanshan, Fu Hongyu, Li Mo, and others, responsible for intercepting monsters below Tier Five that are too numerous to kill immediately.

In the area between Jiang Hou and Xia Longyuan are Shentu Ni, who has just broken through to Late-tier Five, Yu Jing, who stepped into Mid-tier Five, and several other Middle to Late-tier Four experts guarding it.

Among them are Bai Feng at Tier Four Peak, who once met Jiang Hou, stationed there.

As for the Tier Three Transcendents like Zong Zheng Nan Mo, they are dispersed on the four main roads at the back, cooperating with those special soldiers wearing Black Flood Dragon Battle Armor to clear monsters below Tier Four.

While Jiang Hou was scrubbing the Demon Suppression Pillar, Xia Longyuan, at the top of the other suspension bridge three kilometers away, showed surprise in his eyes: "As expected of the Inheritor of dual eras, the speed of strength improvement... is so fast."

On another bridge top more than ten meters away, Jiang Ruochan with black hair draped over her shoulders calmly spoke: "I’m more concerned about his mental state compared to his strength."

"As it looks now, although he quickly broke through to Tier Five, his mental state is still fine and very stable."

"Indeed, very stable." Xia Longyuan was somewhat envious.

He had been condensing his will in Yidu day and night for several years, erasing the pollution in his body, and only now does he have some confidence in using Relic Primordial Energy to hit Tier Seven.

At this time, more than ten kilometers away at the entrance, a group of more than ten people also came in under the lead of a green-haired girl.

Among them were Yang Zixuan, who had met Jiang Hou once, Bai Qingyun, and the big man who noticed Qin Siyu when having breakfast that day.

After these people came in, they thanked the green-haired girl and then arrived at the top of a small mountain in the park hundreds of meters above ground level.

Jiang Ruochan’s gaze passed through the distant distance and also noticed these people: "You let them in as a precaution in case any monsters break through the middle blockade line?"

"There is this consideration." Xia Longyuan nodded.

"Although we have made many deployments, as the saying goes, man’s schemes are inferior to heaven’s calculations; it’s safer to keep a hand."

"In case high-tier monsters break through the blockade line, as long as they take action to hold them off until I return to aid, it can reduce many soldier casualties."

"Of course, another reason is that an acquaintance gave a heads-up. Among them, several have explored ruins together previously, and it was hard to refuse, so I let them in to watch the battle."

"I understand." Jiang Ruochan nodded.

Even Transcendents value interpersonal connections, often referred to as ’guanxi’ or personal networks.

If you don’t help others, next time you need something, others may not help you either. When the ranks are the same or there is not much power difference, it’s not about superiors and subordinates.

This includes the fact that she sought someone to transfer the Divine Weapon Fragment from other provinces to Jiang Hou, which also means owing a small favor.

At this time, Feng Qing’s voice echoed again: "Everyone pay attention, the spatial load capacity has reached Tier Six Peak, and it is expected to reach Tier Seven in two hours, Demon God..."

"No, the impact has begun ahead of schedule."

A solemn voice was transmitted to everyone’s earphones.

Boom!

Outside the old city, at the edge of the suburbs ten kilometers away, the black fog wall that stretches across the sky and earth trembled, and the purple light curtain below rippled with explosions.

Immediately, thousands of monsters poured out like a flood, densely packed.

Among these monsters were First-stage Black Ant Ferocious Beasts, zombies-like creatures, but decayed to just a layer of skin, exuding a Tier Two aura, and ten-meter-long black serpents.

Besides that, there were also large-sized Pogrom Monster creatures and Stone Demons exuding Tier Three aura mixed in.

Boom boom boom!!

These monsters triggered the land mines laid across the suburbs just after advancing tens of meters, and over two hundred land mines exploded simultaneously, tearing apart thousands of monsters with their power.

The explosion roar shook the air, and the fire light illuminated the alternate space.

"The first mine line has been triggered, Pollution Monsters are still rushing out continuously, Artillery Camp prepare..."

The ripples of the purple light curtain that stretched more than two kilometers continued to flash, more low-tier monsters surged out from the opposite side, this time with a few Tier Four Ferocious Beasts mixed in.

Roar roar roar!!

The gunpowder and blood in the air made these monsters even more frantic, bursting forth with astonishing speed towards distant buildings.

Yet, just as these monsters rushed out to a hundred meters, the mines laid on the ground were triggered once more.

Boom boom boom!!

The severed limbs of the monstrous beasts scattered in all directions, and the blood sprayed throughout dyed the earth red. The blast impact flung back the monsters surging behind, scattering them all over the ground with a crackle.

A few low-altitude unmanned early warning aircraft hovered over the old city, capturing this entire scene.

"The second mine line has been detonated, 1.5.7.12 long-range artillery camps prepare, fire according to the coordinates of the first mine line..."

Boom boom boom!!

Several hundred artilleries that had long been loaded with ammunition fired in unison, and the roaring flames and shells whistled piercingly across the thirty kilometers to fall before the purple brilliance.

At this moment, the monsters surging from the opposing passage just filled the gap.

Instantly the ground shook, and the fire lit up the sky.

The power of several hundred high-explosive shells exploded almost demolished everything around, lighting the sky with fire, and the flying dust and earth scatter left everyone, Transcendents, in awe.
