Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1316 - 1315: Say, where are your main forces!
Chapter 1316: Chapter 1315: Say, where are your main forces!
Shadows appeared in the sky above the Great Xia Imperial City; they were formed by the third fleet.
The citizens in the city looked up in panic, astounded that the enemy had reached their doorstep!
If one were to name the three wealthiest places in the Imperial City, it would naturally be the Imperial Palace, the Land Money Trade Association, and the old residence of the Meng Family; the third fleet aimed for these places.
However, before the third fleet could take any action, the Imperial Guards, Chamber of Commerce Tributors, and Meng Family Elders, these three forces, made their move all at once.
The commander of the third fleet was jolted, "How can so many people fly?"
"Attack! Do not let them get close, everyone attack!"
Two hundred shots of maximum power energy beams were fired, hitting the cultivators of the three parties and instantaneously, dense smoke covered the area, with rolling dust and smoke.
Seeing these natives foolishly not avoiding the attack, the commander turned from shock to glee.
"Stupid natives, facing an unknown attack without even dodging!"
He somewhat regretted ordering a full attack; using energy beams on these primitives was too wasteful.
From within the smoke came the voice of the Imperial Guards: "Be careful, they might use smoke bombs to launch a surprise attack!"
As the smoke cleared, the three forces stood back to back forming a circle, wary of the fleet’s attack.
After all, the Candle Sky Civilization’s way of attacking was unknown; carefulness was never too much.
They summoned various weapons and used [Rules] to confine this area’s space.
Yet, as they waited a while, the real attack from the fleet never came.
It seemed that the other party only had smoke bombs?
They cautiously approached, discovering that like in a time stop, all the soldiers of the fleet were frozen in place; some with mouths agape, some fallen on the ground, some in mid-leap, but none could move.
"Do they not have a way to counter the power of [Rules]?" Meng Family Elders puzzled, as normally in Unification Cultivator battles, the use of Rules was customary to probe and discover each other’s depth.
Why did the other side become immobile just at the probing stage?
The Chamber of Commerce Tributors felt somewhat embarrassed; they day-to-day dined, drank, and cultivated all provided by the Commerce, all for acting at crucial moments to protect the Commerce.
They thought this surprise attack by the Candle Sky Civilization would be their chance to fully commit.
But who could have expected the Candle Sky Civilization was so weak, they even felt guilty taking the Commerce’s monthly provisions.
"What? Candle Sky Civilization can’t even deal with the power of [Rules]?" The events changed too fast, and the city’s citizens hadn’t snapped out of their panic yet.
Someone’s quantum communication device vibrated, a friend from the Western Paradise Temple was calling.
He answered the device, and Sha Mi greeted: "Benefactor, good deeds, let you see a big scene; Candle Sky Civilization’s warships have come here!"
People around heard this, gathering around and huddling to see the situation at Western Paradise Temple.
They saw Ming Yu Abbot displaying the Unmoving Ming King Dharma Image, his Dharma body radiated golden and thousands of feet tall, filled with the glow of Buddha Nature, compelling reverence and worship.
Ming Yu Abbot then displayed the Thousand-Armed Guanyin Dharma Image; the two Dharma Images merged, the Unmoving Ming King Dharma Image sprouted a thousand arms, one hand grasping a warship.
Two hundred warships were caught in the hands of Ming Yu Abbot, like children holding toys.
The fleet soldiers looked woodenly, kneeling on the ground, bowing and prostrating to the Unmoving Ming King, reciting the Unmovable Ming King Sutra.
Yet prior to this, they had never even heard of the Unmovable Ming King Sutra.
The commander of the fourth fleet was so scared he couldn’t even stand up; all their attacks landing on the Unmoving Ming King Dharma Image caused no harm, and the soldiers, no longer obeying commands, collectively converted to Buddhism.
"Calling the fifth fleet, we’ve encountered a monster here!"
Hiss—
On the other end of the communication device, the image of the fifth fleet appeared, the commander of the fifth fleet giving a grim smile: "Monsters? Are they more terrible than what we have here?"
Facing the fleet’s surprise attack, the Demon Emperor Zhu Tian decisively transformed into his original Di Jiang form, headless and tailless, his body entirely blood-red and round, with six wings on his back.
If Zhu Tian’s true form were only the size of a palm, anyone would praise its cuteness.
But the problem was that his true form was larger than mountains, his six wings unfolded could block out the sun, and the patterns on their surface were as wide as battleships.
Their attacks couldn’t even singe Zhu Tian’s hair.
One after another, Demon Kings and Demon Emperors took to the skies, transformed into their original forms, and demon energy steamed up above Demon City, bearing the scent of despair.
The citizens of Demon City cheered, praising Demon Emperor Zhu Tian for his wise and valiant leadership, which pleased him greatly.
Zhu Tian transformed back into human form, kicked open the fifth commander’s ship, and grabbed the commander by the collar, demanding harshly:
"Tell me, where are your main forces!"
The commander was bewildered by Zhu Tian’s question: "Main forces? We are the main forces!"
Zhu Tian would not be deceived by such a clumsy lie, he sneered and slapped the commander: "Still dare to lie to me, such a weak fleet dares to call itself the main force, you can’t even lie properly!"
"You must be a scouting troop, tell me, where are the main forces!"
The commander despaired: "We really are the main forces."
Seeing that the commander was so stubborn, Zhu Tian did not hold back and activated the Survival Of The Fittest Dao Fruit Outline, directly controlling the commander.
However, the commander’s answer remained the same, they were indeed the main force, and they were the elite troops of the Candle Sky Civilization.
Zhu Tian was somewhat perplexed and called Emperor Xia, the Old Dragon Emperor, Ming Yu, the Snow Emperor, and Lu Yang, the representatives of these great powers.
Beneath the Old Dragon Emperor’s dragon scales, vibration occurred—it was the quantum communication device ringing. He casually put down the command ship, and his dragon claws carefully touched the call button, afraid of breaking the device.
"This is the situation. The commander of the fleet insists they are the main force. According to my analysis, he might have been subjected to some kind of psychological suggestion or hypnosis, believing in his subjective judgment that they are the main force and thinking he is telling the truth."
Emperor Xia and others nodded in agreement, feeling that Zhu Tian’s analysis made sense; the Cosmic Dominator surely has more capabilities, and they should not be taken lightly.
The Snow Emperor, seeing the background of Zhu Tian and others—war-ravaged yet praised by the people as heroes—felt somewhat annoyed: "Why don’t the battleships come to our Extreme Northern Lands?"
Emperor Xia and Zhu Tian silently watched the Snow Emperor, even the gaze of Ming Yu was somewhat peculiar, their intentions unsaid.
Standing at the entrance to the Cultivation World, Lu Yang twitched upon hearing Zhu Tian’s analysis: "Is there the possibility that the Candle Sky Civilization isn’t as powerful as we imagined?"
He had been holding back this thought for a long time.
"It shouldn’t be, after all, their leader is called the Heavenly Emperor." Zhu Tian rarely disagreed with Lu Yang, thinking the title Heavenly Emperor held great significance, one he wouldn’t dare take for himself.
Lu Yang seemed to notice something, turning his head slightly.
"What’s the matter, Brother Lu?"
Lu Yang squinted, focusing his gaze on the boundless starry sky: "A lot of battleships are approaching from over there, seems like they have ill intentions."
Zhu Tian was quite excited: "That must be it, boldly attacking our Cultivation World, definitely their main forces!"
Approaching the Cultivation World later, communications finally returned to normal; Shi Wumian could contact his commanders.
"Mr. Shi, run, the natives here are monsters!"
"Help! Help!"
"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"
Communications were cut off intermittently, and it was unclear what was happening on the other end.
Shi Wumian finally realized how dangerous the Cultivation World was and urgently shouted: "Turn around, quick!"
Lu Yang showed Zhu Tian and the others the retreating Biluo Sky Army.
"It seems your main forces scared them off."
