Chapter 172: Straight Infiltration
Chapter 172: Straight Infiltration
"What in the holy land of tinker fck is that?" Bai Yuchen gaped in astonishment as he stared at the massive monster in the sky.
It was unlike any other floating island that he had ever encountered. That massive boulder-like floating fortress resembled a monster with many tentacles and cannons!
With just a few shots from those cannons, the colossal 10th Rank magma black dragon was forced to retreat. Noir was blown far north by the impact.
"What are you saying? Fck the what? Keep moving! We need to retreat to the safe zone ASAP!" Michael grabbed the nearby juniors and brought them away from the battlefield.
*Boom!*
The laser beam fell from the sky, causing an explosion that obliterated hundreds of undead at once.
Ely commanded her disciples to return to the backline because that floating fortress monster would obliterate everything in its firing zone.
"Aaaaa! That’s too much! Why did the final boss appear before my action time was highlighted?" Bai Yuchen desperately ran away from the battlefield with everyone.
They previously exerted their power to fight the undead demon army. Yet, they had to try their best to escape that massive monster’s firing zone.
"Graa!" The surrounding undead went berserk, and the demonic golems went out of control.
*Boom!*
Another laser beam was fired, reducing several retreating people to ashes. The undead and demonic golems were also swallowed up in the destruction.
"Retreat! Retreat! That massive monster is too much for us to handle!"
"The powerful experts and reinforcements have arrived here. They shall take down that monster!"
"The demons and that massive thing shall be destroyed sooner or later."
"That is the battle between hegemonies. The demon master abandoned the undead and demonic golems, but we must retreat ASAP!"
"Watch your back! Those undead and demonic golems go berserk!"
"Argh! Goddamn!"
The human mages and cultivators attempted to retreat to a safe zone. Yet, the undead and demonic golems followed and intercepted them.
*Swoosh!* *Boom!* *Rumble!*
Two 10th Rank powerhouses and a squad of several Demi-God and Emperor-level experts struck the floating fortress with an encirclement.
"You are not allowed to keep advancing forward, monster. Thousand Flawless Blood Bind. Restraint!"
"This place will become your burial ground. Thousand Sky Stake. Fall!"
The two Blood Moon’s great elders used their powerful technique.
A thousand bloodlines manifested in the air, binding the floating fortress like a ball of thread. Then, a thousand red stakes emerged in the sky, showering the floating fortress with an area of effect damage.
*Boom!*
The floating fortress was pushed to the ground but received no particular damage. A force field had been activated, and nothing managed to penetrate it.
*Swoosh!*
The floating fortress’ cannons aimed at one point and fired several laser beams simultaneously.
"Defensive Formation! Combine!" Several 8th and 9th Rank Blood Moon experts floated in a circular formation.
A magic circle manifested beneath their feet, and a ball-like barrier with hundreds of spells floated around them. The word mantras focused on the bottom to block the approaching massive laser beam.
*Whoosh!*
The massive laser beam was split into several streams upon contact with the ball-like barrier.
"That destructive demonic beam is potent and dangerous, but we can handle it. I’m sure that thing won’t be able to continuously use such massive destructive beams."
"We need to find its weakness."
"But, Saintess Miko only asked us to keep it busy. Why didn’t she ask us to destroy this monster instead?"
"She’s not sure if we can do it in such a short time. Look at that force field. Can you break it with just ten moves?"
"Well, my Sky Stake couldn’t even leave a scratch. We might need an hour or two to break it down."
"In that one hour, an Empire might have been razed to the ground."
Blood Moon and Frozen Cloud experts exchanged their opinions within the ball-like barrier.
"Can we safely infiltrate that floating fortress? I can bypass that force field and ignore its defense, but we still need a high penetrative force." Ely pointed towards the floating fortress.
It was being bombarded by several experts but remained unscathed.
Mingyue and Meiying shook their heads and apologized. Sylvia raised her hand, and Yuuki felt a bit complicated.
"My specialty is the area of effect and ice crowd control. I can freeze it, but-" Yuuki looked at her icy bow and heaved a subtle sigh. Penetrative power was not her forte.
"Me, me! I can do it. I can also protect you from the impact. You can negate any malicious energy. Then, it will be as easy as piercing a paper." Sylvia raised her spear with a proud expression.
"Alright. Let’s do it." Ely summoned her Mythical-tier artifact, then hid it in her shrine priestess outfit without anyone knowing it.
"Okay. Please excuse me. You attack that thing from outside or help those people to exterminate the undead and demonic golems. See ya!" Sylvia wrapped her arms around Ely’s waist. She waved her hand with a bright smile, then shot out like a super-fast missile.
"!!!" Ely screamed in her mind. Sylvia used acceleration and flew at an impressive speed so suddenly.
She only possessed two SS Rank holy artifacts in their prime condition. She was confident enough to defeat the Heavenly Demon Inheritor if she ignored the miscellaneous factors like this floating fortress.
Even so, it still challenged her courage and got her adrenaline pumping.
Ely gritted her teeth. She couldn’t help but close her eyes and tightly gripped her defensive artifact when the demonic force field was before her.
*Shatter!* *Bam!*
Thanks to Ely’s Mortal Field, the malicious demonic force field’s constituent energy got negative and became fragile like paper.
Sylvia’s dark spear penetrated that force field and punched a hole to infiltrate the floating fortress. She then brought Ely in without further ado.
"..." The surrounding experts gaped in astonishment.
They unleashed their high-level techniques but still couldn’t destroy that force field. However, that devil girl did it with just one move, leaving a human-sized hole behind.
The force field began to self-repair, but Feng Xue noticed it early. "Quick. Destroy that force field from that hole."
Feng Xue took the lead and rushed to release a decisive move to widen the damage.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
The other experts bombarded the floating fortress again, expanding the damage on its force field.
The floating fortress shook, but Ely and Sylvia managed to infiltrate that dangerous floating fortress safely.
Ely conveyed some things to Sylvia via the telepathy talisman, then they moved deeper into the floating fortress.
That place was akin to an ancient ruin with many traps and mechanisms, but Sylvia created her path by punching a hole in the walls and floors. They went to the core room with Ely’s Sacred Vision as the guide.

Gabriella landed on a hill across the deep ravine, outside the blood-red land.
She could see all disciples retreat safely, but they failed to help several unlucky human cultivators to flee on time. Those people got trapped and dead under the undead and golems’ attacks.
Regardless, they managed to bring many people safely with them as well.
"Thank you very much, benefactor." A squad leader from the Human Alliance expressed his gratitude to the Sacred Sakura and the other two holy lands.
"The battle isn’t over yet. Please use this and distribute it with your comrades to minimize air pollution. We still need to handle those undead and demonic golems." Gabriella threw a box of masks.
The mask would protect their respiratory system from viruses or any substances in the air, especially the demonic, evil ones. The strange red liquid was dangerous, including its miasma. It was better to be careful than sorry.
The other disciples also handed over some masks to the surrounding people.
An armored swordsman came closer. He grasped his fist to pay his respect. "Greetings, I am the General Song of the Breacasian Empire. We thank you for your assistance. May I know your plan to deal with those demons and that floating monster? We will try our best to participate in your plans."
"Plans..." Gabriella muttered softly as she looked at her juniors, then Elder Yuuki in the sky.
Elder Yuuki was ready to do something, and the two saintesses were also there. However, Elder Sylvia and her master had just made their moves. They infiltrated the floating fortress to destroy it from the inside.
The overall situation was constantly changing and still unpredictable. Thinking about the plan, they had already gone to the backup plan because of that massive floating fortress’ appearance.
Over a dozen 7th Rank experts and above were bombarding and clashing with the floating fortress in the sky.
Therefore, they needed to quickly deal with the undead and demonic golems as soon as possible before they could launch an all-out attack on the final boss.
*Rumble!* *Rumble!*
Dozens of purple lightning flashed amidst the undead army, cutting those creatures into pieces.
Someone with the speed of lightning slaughtered the undead and demonic golems using the flashing twin lightning daggers.
"Sword of Light. Cleave!" A large sword of light slashed dozens of undead in half, and the lady in a white-gold robe kept moving forward while exterminating any evil creatures in her sword zone.
*Boom!*
Evelyn and Kirara tried their best to save those unlucky people. Unfortunately, they could do nothing to those with severe injuries and red evil energy infections.
They left the fallen warriors and continued to exterminate the approaching monsters.
"We will exterminate those undead and demonic golems. After that, we will join them to destroy that huge thing. An opportunity to strike. The situation got worse. Show us what Human Alliance can do, even though your main force hasn’t arrived yet."
After saying that, Gabriella gestured to her juniors before joining Elder Evelyn and Kirara to slaughter those undead and demonic golems.
Her voice was clear, and the signal was unmistakable.
All disciples immediately moved. They had to complete something before they could assist their master in destroying that massive floating fortress.
The other experts from Blood Moon and Frozen Cloud immediately followed Sacred Sakura’s lead without hesitation. Their current primary task was to eradicate those threats.
