World-Ending Demon Emperor
Chapter 2196 - 1070: The Lunar Sanctuary Is Shocked! Lanling Arrives
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
It was a calculated strike against the unprepared. The entire Ninth Group Army totaling one hundred thousand, exactly half were humans, and half were intelligent life forms.
Moreover, the minds of Lanling and Yao Xing have now merged, making it easy for every intelligent life form to independently aim at a target.
So the result of the instant firing was...
Ninety-nine percent of the fifty thousand human soldiers in the Ninth Group Army fell to the ground immediately.
Only less than one percent remained—the Skywalker Samurai, Crystal Warriors, who couldn’t be killed by a single energy bullet.
This situation occurred not only in the Ninth Group Army but also in the Eleventh and Fifteenth Group Armies likewise.
Fifteen thousand intelligent life forms were directly activated by Lanling, opening fire to kill human soldiers.
General Andor could hardly believe what he was seeing, screaming, "You are mad, daring to rebel?"
"Open fire..." The intelligent life forms’ Colonel Lan Dong of the Ninth Group Army waved his hand directly ordering.
"Whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz..."
Instantly, ten thousand fired fiercely at General Andor.
The remaining forty thousand continued to shoot down the remaining five hundred strong human warriors.
In recent years, the importance of lunar intelligent life in civilization has been increasing. They are simply too excellent, learning quickly, loyal, and can execute orders from superiors without reservation.
For tens of thousands of years, there hasn’t been a single case of intelligent life rebelling out of control.
Instead, humans have this and that demand and desire, which breeds resentment when unfulfilled. Therefore, the Moon Temple Council proposed to reduce the total population of humans and Demon Race from the current one billion eight hundred million to five hundred million within a thousand years, assigning most of the work, even including the military, to intelligent life forms.
So over the past few thousand years, intelligent life’s authority has increased, and their bestowed bloodline energy even higher.
And the frightening thing is, with the same bloodline talents, intelligent life’s cultivation and combat power mostly exceed humans. Because they are more focused, not disturbed by other desires.
As of now, the advanced intelligent life in the entire lunar super civilization exceeds five hundred million, a significant portion of which is in the military.
As forces of violence, their sole mission is to obey orders. In this regard, no one compares to intelligent life forms.
Therefore, the Ninth, Thirteenth, and Fifteenth Group Armies are alright, able to maintain a fifty-fifty split between intelligent life and humans.
In many military forces, the proportion of intelligent life has already exceeded seventy, eighty, or even ninety percent.
...
General Andor was a human warrior officer, with outstanding cultivation power.
Yet the weapons fired by intelligent life forms were all energy weapons, identical to the energy attacks released by warriors on the Dragon Demon Planet. Except, warriors on the Dragon Demon Planet must train laboriously, while intelligent soldiers on the Moon simply need to pull the trigger to achieve the same effect.
"Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz..."
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
More than ten thousand energy weapons assaulted, equivalent to being attacked by ten thousand warriors.
General Andor’s cultivation power was very strong, but under the bombardment of ten thousand energy weapons, the energy armor on him turned to dust. He immediately released his bloodline energy, forming a shield to fend off the terrifying energy attacks.
However, the attacks from ten thousand intelligent life forms were ceaseless.
Over ten thousand beams of energy light frantically blasted against him.
The energy within him rapidly depleted; he wanted to counterattack, wanted to wield weapons to fight, but couldn’t do so at all. All his energy had to be used to sustain the energy shield; otherwise, he would be instantly wiped out.
"You’re mad, mad, what do you want to do?" General Andor shouted.
"For Your Majesty, for the great civilization," Colonel Lan Dong of intelligent life responded.
"Traitors, shameful traitors, we created you, to you we are gods, this is betrayal of gods," General Andor roared.
Colonel Lan Dong replied, "No, the shameless traitors are you. There are only two gods in this world, the two founders. Emperor Lanling is the sole spokesperson of God."
"Absurd, laughable..." General Andor laughed.
"Whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz, whiz..."
The energy assaults continued madly.
A moment later, General Andor’s bloodline energy was completely exhausted, and the energy shield around him utterly shattered.
After losing all bloodline energy, human warriors had only the strength of their flesh remaining.
Colonel Lan Dong waved his hand, and instantly all attacks ceased!
"General Andor, are you willing to surrender to the glorious Emperor Lanling?"
General Andor roared, "Dream on, you expect me to swear allegiance to that low-life monkey? Dream on!"
"Execute him!" ordered Colonel Lan Dong.
Immediately, an officer stepped forward, pulled out a high-powered energy weapon, and aimed it at General Andor’s head, firing abruptly!
"Bang..." General Andor’s head and body turned into dust, completely annihilated. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Witnessing this scene, Assistant Tang Mo felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
"The Thirteenth Group Army’s intelligent life forms are divided into two units, heading to the A1 and A2 Star Force launch command centers, to join with the Ninth and Fifteenth Group Armies."
"Surround the command center with the army, establish defensive positions, and strive to gain control over the two Star Force devices, or cut off their energy connection with the Supreme Council command."
"Immediately destroy the remote command systems of the three warships, utilize the super energy weapons of the warships to construct positions, and prepare for the counterattack of the Moon Civilization Corps.
...
The Moon Sanctum Supreme Council was always in constant dispute.
But at this moment, it was deathly silent!
Just now, they had watched on the screen, seeing 150,000 intelligent life forms collectively mutiny, killing 150,000 human troops, including three generals.
"The thirteen ruling priests of the Supreme Council, proceed to the Temple Core Meeting Room!" ordered the supreme leader.
Then, all thirteen supreme rulers of the Moon Sanctum Supreme Council left their seats.
The Temple Core Meeting Room was ancient and ornate, just like it was thousands of years ago, without a hint of the modern technological feel of the Supreme Council.
For quite a while, the second leader Qingxuan said, "At the time, Lanling abducted Shi Yiyue, and we didn’t take notice. Now it seems he has discovered the secret of these intelligent life soul crystals, and even thought about activating those three core stars in the center of the Soul Starry Sky."
One ruling priest said, "Impossible, right? The star combinations inside the soul crystals are so intricate, Lanling, just a mere monkey, couldn’t possibly comprehend it."
The Moon Sanctum’s disdain for Lanling and the Dragon Demon Planet was truly heartfelt.
This stemmed from a delusion of advanced civilization that over the thousands of years, the Moon Civilization had been expanding, creating new energy weapons, energy machines, and new inventions every year. This made the rulers of the Moon Civilization feel that their civilization was constantly progressing, while the Dragon Demon Planet showed no progress and was even regressing.
So, they felt their civilization was increasingly advanced and powerful, and thus they increasingly looked down on everything on the Dragon Demon Planet.
"I have long said, do not trust intelligent life; trust humans and the Demon Race. Some of you insist on not listening, desperately increasing the number of intelligent life forms. Now, intelligent life has been incited by that monkey Lanling to revolt?"
Second leader Qingxuan raised a hand and said, "Continuing this point is meaningless. The next discussion should focus on how to handle the remaining intelligent life forms."
One ruling priest said, "Aren’t we going to deal with the hundreds of thousands of rebels on the lunar surface?"
Qingxuan said, "Those hundreds of thousands of rebels are not worth worrying about. The concern now is the entire Moon’s intelligent life forms, which total five billion. If all these intelligent life forms rebel, that would truly be a catastrophic outcome."
"Execute them all; only by executing them all, will there be no further worries," said one ruling priest, who traditionally opposed the spread of intelligent life.
However, this proposal was indeed shocking.
That would be five billion intelligent life forms, and they occupy crucial roles in the entire Moon Civilization. Executing all of them would have catastrophic consequences for the entire Moon super civilization.
"Indeed, executing all five billion intelligent life forms will cause massive chaos, and the order of the entire Moon Civilization might be completely overturned. But how long would the chaos last? Five, ten, thirty years? By then, we can still establish a stable order. If all these intelligent life forms rebel, they might destroy half of our civilization."
"I do not agree with execution; I believe they should all be imprisoned in the Abyssal Prison," suggested one ruling priest. "To create these five billion intelligent life forms, we exhausted countless amounts of energy. Executing them all would be a tremendous loss to the entire Moon Civilization. Imprisoning them in the Abyssal Prison would preserve these intelligent life forms and prevent Lanling from controlling them. Consider this: without these five billion intelligent life forms, how much longer will it take for us to complete a Ninth-level energy civilization?"
"Yes, that’s the key point. We’re on the brink of achieving a Ninth-level energy civilization. If these five billion intelligent life forms are all executed, who knows how many years it will take to recover those key positions, and how long will it take to break through to the Ninth-level energy civilization?"
"Then it’s decided, imprison all intelligent life forms in the Abyssal Prison. Deploy human and Demon Race forces to eliminate the rebels and Lanling!"
"Yes!"
"Furthermore, immediately sever all communication between the Moon and the Sky Temple Cosmic Tower. Lanling activated the energy signal from the intelligent life through the Cosmic Tower."
"Yes!"
This time, the Moon Sanctum acted decisively, without arguing for half a year to ten months in the council. The thirteen people made a crucial decision in less than ten minutes.
...
The energy channel between the Cosmic Tower and the Moon was unilaterally severed.
However, this didn’t matter, as Lanling had already left, taking Shi Yiyue to the Moon.
"Boom!"
Chaos Emperor Lanling suddenly descended upon the surface of the Moon.
