Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1022: Chapter 622: Descent into the World Chapter 1022: Chapter 622: Descent into the World Xu Yang frowned slightly as he looked at Liu Xiu’s attributes.

Speaking of individual combat power, this Han Guangwu Emperor wasn’t actually outstanding. Although his Physical Strength and Intelligence Breakthrough Values reached a hundred points and he had a set of Mythical Equipment, his personal combat power wasn’t much stronger than Zhou Tianqi or Ning Bozhong, it was even somewhat inferior.

After all, specialized crafts have their own expertise. Zhou Tianqi and Ning Bozhong, one with True Immortal Bloodline and a Complete Heaven Sword Cultivator, the other with a Gloomy Tao Body and a Divine Ghost Mage, both geared towards combat with weapons, equipment, and Talent Skills, naturally had stronger combat power than an emperor-type Hero like Liu Xiu.

But for Xu Yang, his level of difficulty was above that of Zhou Tianqi and the others.

Because he had ways to deal with Zhou Tianqi and the others, all the Complete Heaven Sword Cultivators and Netherworld Ghost Envoys, to him, were just that, unable to pose any threat to him in terms of personal combat power.

Liu Xiu was different. Although his personal combat power wasn’t as good as Zhou Tianqi and Ning Bozhong, he had a heaven-defying method – the Heavenly Destiny Strike, Meteorite Strike!

Humans, Xu Yang could deal with.

But heaven, how was he to cope?

Who knew how big that meteorite was!

He was only at Second Order now. Although he had a variety of methods, to hard-counter a meteorite was too strained, too risky.

But if he did not intercept it, how much destruction and casualties would that meteorite cause to his domain once it crashed down?

What’s worse, the other party was a “emperor-type” Mythical Hero, shielded by Impervious Dragon Qi Protection, leaving Xu Yang no way to curse him to death.

“There’s only one way left!”

After pondering for a moment and reaching a conclusion, Xu Yang shook his head, got up, and turned to leave the palace.

Regarding this meteorite, he actually had countermeasures, but they would come at a certain cost.

But at this point, there was no alternative, when the choice came between the lesser and the greater self, someone had to make a sacrifice.

As a leader, one must be decisive at this moment and make sacrifices and choices for the overall situation.

…

“Your Majesty, all kinds of machinery have been constructed!”

Inside the Alliance Camp, an Engineering Hero came forward to report the progress to Tantai Qin and Liu Xiu.

Tantai Qin was ranked seventy-third on the Second Order Reputation List. Although she wasn’t on par with Zhou Tianqi and Ning Bozhong, she had her unique strengths. With her Divine-level Talent as the “Peony Fairy,” the quality and quantity of the Heroes under her command were far superior to those of other Lords, not to mention having a Mythical Hero like Liu Xiu and various functional Heroes.

Now, most of the Alliance Army’s engineering team was composed of her Engineering Heroes and Engineering Troops, which built a large number of engineering machinery in just half a day, demonstrating her strength.

“Good!”

Tantai Qin nodded her head, then turned her gaze towards Zhou Tianqi and Ning Bozhong: “Shall we begin the march?”

Upon hearing this, both of them had no objections, and with one order the entire army mobilized, pushing the newly constructed Siege Machinery into position.

However…

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

As soon as the machinery entered the battlefield, thunderous roars sounded as though lightning had exploded.

The source of the thunderous sounds was precisely Yellow Heaven Giant City. On the hundred-zhang wide city wall, rows of Gongshu Thunderbolt Cars were lined up in formation. Controlled by Gongshu Mechanics and Gongshu Disciples, they unleashed the astonishing power of Thunder Fire Stones, bombarding the enemy’s machinery.

After advancing, all the Special Skills of Heroes would be enhanced. The Gongshu Mechanic, as the Personal Guard Species of Gongshu Ling, also advanced to Second Order with her, and all of their abilities, including their domineering mechanism technique, were strengthened.

The Gongshu Thunderbolt Cars they controlled had far superior power, range, accuracy, and speed than other Legendary Siege Machinery, given that the Overbearing Mechanism Technique specialized in offense.

Furthermore, the terrain around Yellow Sky City had been processed to be level and have no cover. Facing the hundred-zhang high Yellow Sky City wall, they were completely at a disadvantageous position, which meant the Alliance Army’s machinery range was shortened even more.

In a machinery duel, what is the most important?

It’s the range. Without enough range, no matter how fast or accurate you are, you can only take hits passively.

This was the plight the Alliance Army found themselves in now. Thousands of Gongshu Thunderbolt Cars dominated from a higher position, firing in all directions, relentlessly bombarding their Siege Machinery.

Their Siege Machinery couldn’t reach Yellow Sky City and could only push forward under the assault of the Gongshu Thunderbolt Cars, only able to retaliate upon reaching the designated position.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

This distance was destined to make the opponent pay a bloody price. Yellow Sky City held nothing back. Thousands of Gongshu Thunderbolt Cars fired at full capacity, Thunder Fire Stones raining down like a storm, exploding amongst the enemy ranks in flames and blood.

Every step forward, every inch advanced, cost the lives of numerous soldiers and the destruction of much machinery.

Faced with such a sight, the Lords within the Alliance Camp were not at all surprised.

“Expected!”

“The intelligence was accurate; this person possesses an Engineering Hero of Legendary or even Mythical level!”

“The range, power, speed, and accuracy of the opponent’s Siege Machinery are all far superior to ours.”

“If we continue to advance like this, even if we reach the position in the end, the casualties will be heavy, and we will be unable to fight back!”

“We must suppress their Siege Machinery!”

People had different thoughts, but only Zhou Tianqi remained composed, smilingly saying to Ning Bozhong and Tantai Qin, “Leave the southeast to me; the northwest will trouble you both.”

Having said that, he tossed out an object, which was none other than a Seal.

Upon being thrown, the Seal expanded in the wind and instantly transformed into a dragon, soaring into the clouds with its teeth and claws bared.
