Chapter 341: The Creation Army

Suddenly, there was a light "click" sound, and the throne of God on the top open-air floor of the Ladder of All Things, together with the entire area where the Tongtian Pearl was located, rotated 180 degrees clockwise to face the south and moved forward, making it easier for the controller to have a bird's-eye view of the earth and grasp the battlefield.

Judging from the shadows on the ground, there were more than 100,000 killers in tight combat suits and holding sharp blades, approaching Yinsheng City silently.

Cheng Bai, who was watching the battle from high in the sky, was surprised and said, "This must be the ruthless killer that Nie Ziqiong mentioned. He is very secretive. The army took advantage of the fierce fighting to attract the attention of the masters of Beiling Sword Sect, and cooperated with other arms to quietly invade the capital."

Dozens of miles outside the city, a large number of mine chariots were airdropped without anyone noticing, and more than a thousand dark gun muzzles were slowly and methodically erected, ready to bomb Yinsheng City.

Hei Long recalled: "That day I heard in the lotus pond of the mansion that the thunder car equipped with thunder cannon is a siege weapon. They implemented the tactics of indiscriminate bombing and surprise attack from the sky!"

There were as many as 200 Howling Wind Spirit Boats in the sky that emerged from their invisible state, and soared into the sky like ferocious falcons, cooperating with the killer forces on land, waiting for the thunder cannons to wash the ground before launching a charge to massacre all living beings.

However, the defenders stationed in Yinsheng City were slow to react and had backward armaments. They did not realize that the crisis of destruction was approaching and did not take any countermeasures.

Cheng Bai had a panoramic view of everything from a high place, secretly exclaiming: "Nie Ziqiong had Wantong Xuanmen equip Xiaofeng Spirit Boat with a stealth function so quickly that it could easily enter the siege range. It's a pity that Di Xuan got the advantage for nothing, and even Sister Yingying was careless."

Yao Yingying looked down at the battlefield with a calm expression, and said in a cold tone: "The Ladder of All Things has stood in Beilinbingzhou for tens of thousands of reincarnations, but it has rarely been challenged. The passage of history has erased the bloody storms of the past, making the world forget the horror of the Creator's Army!"

As she spoke, she gently stroked the Tongtian Pearl in front of her, and suddenly strange things happened outside Yinsheng City.

A large number of blue beetles crawled out of the wide plain under the city wall. Each of them was more than 30 meters long, with four pairs of thick legs dragging their huge abdomens. They lined up around the city wall with their backs facing outside the city, and their tail gun muzzles raised towards the sky were locked onto the enemy in the distance.

Li Tong identified it as a blue beetle from the Brood Zerg, also known as a 'plasma cannon bug' or 'plasma bug'. Its tail cannon sprays highly lethal biological ion energy, and its range is as long as that of a heavy firepower turret.

The defenders suddenly found that the entire city was surrounded by a swarm of insects that was much taller than the city walls. Before receiving clear orders, everyone watched in surprise or fear.

Even more shocking scenes appeared again and again.

When the shadows moving at supersonic speed stopped occasionally, people nearby could barely see with their naked eyes that they were a large number of horrible monsters with human-like features and some characteristics of flies!

They are about nine feet six inches tall, with four slender and powerful arms and legs, and a pair of wings that flap rapidly, allowing them to move quickly and accurately.

Li Tong explained: "The army of fly demons, the basic species of the Annihilation Star Zerg, can easily tear apart spirit ships, eat up all life and spread terrible plagues, occupying low altitude and ground hegemony."

The loud roar of a sub-dragon was heard in the sky, and the lava fire dragon spread its broad wings covered with bone spurs, swooping down like a cloud of fire, spewing out blazing flames and ready to go.

Li Tong pointed out: "Lava and fire dragons are everywhere to control the sky, and multiple types of troops are combined to fight from far and near, high and low. This is the special and magical function of the Ladder of All Things. Standing on the continent, it becomes a super fortress that is impregnable and invincible."

The Smoker exclaimed, "What an amazing work!"

Cheng Bai sincerely admired: "The essence of the Pyramid of the Ladder of All Things is the mother system of the barracks, which can create soldiers at will. All kinds of life forms recorded in it can reappear in the world, and they can be carefully matched and put into fierce battles. This reflects the significance of magic weapons!"

Li Tong explained the advantages and disadvantages in detail: "It is not to create life at will, otherwise wouldn't it be equivalent to the great power of the ancient gods? It is just to copy the energy body puppets that have power but obey orders. Their thoughts are controlled by the mother body of the barracks, and the upper limit of external deployment is only 12.5% ​​of the total energy body of the Ladder of All Things."

Zhai Xufei murmured, "That's incredibly powerful. This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes in my two lifetimes. From now on, I will always be in awe of the Ladder of All Things!"

Cheng Bai was terrified when he thought about it, and asked in a low voice: "The Ladder of All Things can also recycle biological energy, right? Does it mean that the army of creation will continue to circulate, with an endless number of new types of troops?"

Li Tong shook his head and said, "Its many functions also have certain limitations. Every large-scale battle consumes a lot of energy. It is not difficult to collect 100% of the energy inside, but it would be great if the troops sent outside can collect a small part. After this battle, the Ladder of All Things usually has to be dormant for a few years before it gradually recovers its vitality."

Cheng Bai suddenly realized, "So we must be careful when deploying troops into battle and consider resource allocation in combination with tactical needs. This thing is more than just a top-grade Horcrux, right?"

Li Tong laughed and said, "The seventy-eight-story ladder of all things is a good-quality immortal weapon, much better than the one on the moon of Qiongqi Continent."

As they were talking, the ground battle had already begun.

The blue beetles' advance was relatively short, and they launched the attack first. Azure plasma balls were ejected from their tails and rushed into the sky, drawing a beautiful parabolic trajectory, like a gorgeous meteor shower falling towards the mine car turret that had just been erected more than ten miles away.

Accompanied by deafening explosions, scorching sparks burst out, and countless debris bounced and rolled on the ground and in the air. The thunder chariot troops had no time to attack, and in an instant they were turned into piles of scrap metal under the terrifying bombardment.

The air was filled with smoke and the battle was brutal!

The two armies of the Heartless Killer and Howling Wind Spirit Boat knew that they had no way out and could only fight to the death. They rushed towards Yinsheng City at full speed, trying to get close to reverse the huge gap in the battle situation.

Blue Beetle has strong long-range firepower but cannot fight in close combat. Plasma balls exploding nearby will hurt itself. Therefore, the tail gun has evolved uniquely, resulting in a large blind spot at close range, and its attack is limited to high-altitude and distant targets.

Cheng Bai said leisurely: "The Killer Corps saw the Blue Beetle's weakness and their reaction was not slow, but they made a serious mistake in judgment."

The ruthless killers rushed forward quickly, only to find with horror that they were trapped in a death cage.

The fly demons, eager to attack their prey, ruthlessly harvested lives. The invaders were either torn into pieces in an instant, or had their blood and vitality sucked out by the strange mouthparts that suddenly inserted into their bodies, turning them into shriveled mummies.

The Howling Wind Spirit Boat was in an even more miserable situation, facing the lava dragons that were ten times their size, they had no power to fight back. Some of them were burned to charcoal by the fire dragon's breath just after they activated their turrets, or were overturned by the dragons that were equally huge but much more powerful as toy boats.

The Howling Wind Spirit Boats crashed to the ground like broken cakes, raising dust all over the sky. The bodies of the assassins hiding inside were shattered into pieces, and it was difficult to distinguish their original human forms.

"The situation is so one-sided! Are the Tu Min Society simply coming here to die in vain?" Cheng Bai couldn't help but sigh as he watched the battle.

At the top of the Ladder of All Things, Yao Yingying sat on the throne and surveyed the battle situation. She chuckled disdainfully and said, "The army that the Tumin Society has put together is quite interesting. It is enough to overrun the three thousand countries in the five continents. To dare to challenge the Ladder of All Things is to overestimate one's own abilities."

Just as she was speaking, a figure flashed beside her, and a cold light flashed! Without warning, a flying sword stabbed from the left rear of the throne and went straight to the Jueyinshu acupoint on the back of the Snow Fox Queen.

"Elder Tu! What are you doing?" The two supreme elders exclaimed in unison.

The blue-grey sword came at her with great speed, ferocity and precision, piercing through her chest on the spot. Yao Yingying sensed the danger, and her sharp reflexes from years of practice allowed her to dodge at the critical moment, avoiding the fatal blow.

The severe pain came, but the Snow Fox Queen was busy but not panicked. She stretched out her bare hands and used three fingers to tightly clamp the bloody sword blade exposed in front of her chest. In an instant, a faint white light appeared all over her body, and her bones, flesh and skin turned harder than pure gold, firmly blocking the flying sword that was trying to stir and tear her flesh.

Elder Tu, who had succeeded in the sneak attack from behind, quickly let go of the hilt of his sword, retreated violently away from the people of Beiling Sword Sect, stood on the east edge of the tower top and laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Queen Yao, you shouldn't have exposed your back to me!"

Yao Yingying looked down at the sword blade on her chest, and recognized the extraordinary origin of the material. Her expression changed slightly: "This sword is the 'Little Thousand Dragon Crown', a common Horcrux made by the Tu Min Society using the horn of the blue dragon. You are definitely not Elder Tu!"

Everyone in the Beiling Sword Sect stared at Elder Tu, feeling an ominous premonition in their hearts.
