Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Outside the continent of Lanqi.

In the void, a giant spaceship hovered. Commander Xuan Yi stood in the command room, looking down at the dark red continent below through the simulated exterior view of the spaceship.

"It's time to make a move."

After several days of clearing and training, the various combat squads of the 57th Army have gradually transformed, but the indigenous people's reaction speed is also faster than expected, and the combat squad training has to be terminated early.

As the order was issued.

The entire legion was like a giant beast that had been awakened.

After several days of silence, the spaceship slowly sailed out, and one after another, the cannons on its hull lit up. The eerie blue light was particularly dazzling under the dark red sky, like countless open eyes.

"boom!"

The spaceship broke through the clouds.

The low-hanging, dark red sky churned violently under the impact of the massive spaceship, and a blurry halo poured down from the crack, casting a huge shadow on the earth.

Below, the gray-white city wall rapidly magnifies in the field of vision.

The city wall stretches for hundreds of kilometers and is built of huge stones. Ancient patterns are carved all over the stone surfaces, and those patterns gleam faintly under the light, as if the entire city wall is breathing.

The city walls were densely packed with Stone Skin warriors, who held stone bows, stone axes, and stone spears in their hands, their dark yellow eyes filled with fear.

"They really came!"

In the royal palace, the king stood on a high platform, looking through the palace dome at the giant spaceship that broke through the clouds. Although he was panicked, he knew he could not sit idly by and wait for death.

"quick……"

"Activate the shield defense!"

The entire royal city immediately activated its defense mode. The secret runes on the city walls suddenly lit up, and silvery-white light seeped out from the cracks in the stones, weaving together in the sky to form a pale golden, semi-transparent shield.

"attack."

As the order was issued.

The spaceship immediately opened fire, with its secondary cannons firing one after another, energy beams pouring down like a torrential rain, bombarding the capital's defensive shield.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The moment the beam collided with the shield, it exploded into bursts of dazzling light, like countless tiny stars blooming in the sky. Violent ripples spread across the surface of the shield, but it ultimately did not shatter.

"It's blocked?!"

An elder looked at the still-strong protective barrier, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes, "As expected of something left behind by the temple—"

"Fight back quickly!"

The king was not in a very optimistic mood.

His gaze pierced through the protective shield, landing on the giant spaceship hovering in the sky, and on the charging cannons. A sense of foreboding washed over him, and he immediately ordered his people to fight back.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

On the city wall, the warriors of the Stone Skin tribe drew their massive stone bows, and arrows shot into the sky like locusts.

The arrowheads of these arrows were shrouded in a layer of grayish-white light, which was the petrifying power unique to the Stone-Skinned Clan.

This petrifying power.

If the attack hits the spaceship's hull, a layer of grayish-white stone can quickly spread across the surface, corroding, cracking, and peeling off the spaceship's outer armor.

"Break the city."

Commander Xuan Yi's orders were more direct.

The spaceship's main cannon began charging. It was a giant energy cannon with a diameter of over 100 meters, and a dazzling blue light condensed at the muzzle. The light grew brighter and brighter, enveloping the entire spaceship in a blue halo.

"boom--!!"

A beam of energy, over a hundred meters thick, shot out from the cannon and slammed into the city's defensive shield.

The protective shield trembled violently.

The next moment, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the shield, spreading in all directions like a spider web, with silvery-white light constantly flashing and repairing the edges of the cracks.

However—

There was a click.

Pale golden fragments fell from the sky, refracting a rainbow of colors under the dark red light. Without the protection of the shield, the capital was exposed to the guns of the 57th Army.

"kill--"

Human space warriors poured out of their spaceships, surging towards the vast capital city like a tidal wave.

The world lords and their leaders charged to the front, unleashing their full world power to confront the world lord elders who were trying to organize a counterattack. The world power collided in the air, shattering the surrounding buildings.

Lin Yan and other domain lord-level captains led their respective squads in fierce battles on the city walls, streets, and rooftops.

It's only because the building materials of this royal city are special; otherwise, the entire city would have been razed to the ground long ago in the aftermath of a battle between world lords.

……

The east gate of the capital city.

Lin Yan's 37th squad is breaking into the city through this gate.

Under the dark red light of the sky, the blood-red battle blade drew a series of fierce arcs, each strike bringing down a Stone-Skinned Clan member at the Domain Lord level. The swordsmanship was swift and decisive, never hesitant or cumbersome.

As strength increases.

Lin Yan became increasingly aware of the extraordinary nature of the Mirage Feather, which was even more miraculous than divine weapons. In order to reduce the risk, he no longer used it lightly unless it was fatal.

"puff!"

The blade flashed.

He cleaved another enemy in two.

Of course, according to the conventional combat methods of the military system, Lin Yan only dealt with those domain lord-level natives, while the other universe-level and eternal-level soldiers were all handled by his subordinates.

This is the rule on the battlefield—

The strong fight the strong, and the weak fight the weak.

As long as it doesn't endanger the lives of his teammates, Lin Yan will not intervene. In fact, it's common for his teammates to die in battle when he can't even take care of his own safety.

This is how it is in battlefields outside the region.

No one can guarantee they will make it back alive.

Although Lin Yan killed with ease, he knew that the real outcome of this battle did not lie here.

His gaze frequently drifted towards the center of the capital, towards the royal palace, where more than twenty terrifying auras were locked in a standoff.

A battlefield for world lords.

……

The sky above the square in front of the royal palace.

The king of the kingdom hovered in mid-air, surrounded by a layer of pale golden light. Behind him were fifteen clan elders at the level of world lords, their auras intertwined, protecting the royal palace.

And on the opposite side.

They were the ten commanders of the 57th Army.

You Yuan stood on one side, his dark red armor standing out on the battlefield. His gaze was cold as he stared at the king of the kingdom, a disdainful smile playing on his lips.

Ten people against sixteen people.

In terms of numbers, the human army is at a disadvantage.

But You Yuan didn't care. He could tell that although these world lord-level natives were not weak, their fighting spirit was extremely low.

In this situation.

They didn't even have the slightest determination to fight to the death.

"Sacrifice".

The king's voice was cold and deep. He suddenly appeared behind an elder, his right hand piercing into the elder's body like a sharp sword, grabbing the slowly rotating Origin Pearl and squeezing it hard.

"Click—"

The Origin Pearl shattered, and the elder froze on the spot, his dark yellow eyes filled with disbelief.

He looked down at the arm piercing his body through his chest, then looked up at the king's face, which was gradually contorting. His lips moved a few times, but he could only utter a muffled sound.

The light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his body fell from the sky, crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
