The battle... has begun!
Endless roars erupted within each mechanical star body.
Accompanied by terrifying energy storms sweeping outward.
Within the mechanical star body where the 856th combat squad is located, fierce Void Insect Race creatures with scarlet eyes charged forward, their eyes filled with endless brutality.
Like a tide, they rushed towards the 856th combat squad.
However, apart from Lu Sheng, the members of this combat squad all possessed late-stage sixth-level cultivation. Though Lu Sheng was only in the early sixth-level stage, with the aid of the Seal of Brilliance and the Eternal Ash Emperor’s Authority...
In terms of efficiency in slaying the Void Insect Race, he was hardly inferior to the other members!
"Before the war began, our Mechanical Sect experts already made war predictions!"
While clearing the surrounding Void Insect Race, Luo Cheng spoke up.
"In this war, the Void Insect Race has birthed a new Galactic Life Form, and it’s highly probable that our Ascension Factions will lose to the Void Insect Race."
Luo Cheng’s voice seemed somewhat somber.
However, everyone’s expressions remained unchanged, for this was inevitable.
Before arriving, they had vaguely guessed this outcome.
Luo Cheng’s tone shifted slightly.
"Even if we are likely to lose to the Void Insect Race, we must still demonstrate the strength of our Human Federation!"
"Let the Void Insect Race know that our Ascension Factions, and even the Human Federation, are not easy to deal with. Only by showing a tough side can we make the Void Insect Race wary."
"In this way, even if we lose, we can minimize the planets and territories we have to cede!"
Luo Cheng’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
Furthermore, countless lasers shot out from Luo Cheng’s body, instantly clearing a large swath of Void Insect Race around him with scorching power.
Under the lasers, those Void Insect Race creatures turned into char instantly without even a scream.
"Moreover, to thank everyone for coming to support, our Ascension Factions will distribute various resources as rewards. In this war, killing Void Insect Race creatures will yield corresponding points. After the war, these points can be exchanged for merits from Daoran Sect or credits from Star River University."
"Additionally, each squad will have a kill ranking, with higher rankings receiving more abundant rewards."
Luo Cheng’s voice finally carried a hint of emotion at this moment, a trace of fervor.
"So, gentlemen... do your best!"
As Luo Cheng finished speaking, his body instantly transformed into a space-based weapon, suspended above the mechanical star body, with terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from him.
After a few breaths of charging...
A crimson beam of light erupted from Luo Cheng’s body, its extreme heat seemingly capable of obliterating everything.
Even the mechanical surface of the mechanical star body was forcibly turned red by this crimson beam, almost pierced through.
The surrounding Void Insect Race creatures turned into powder under the crimson beam, dying without even a scream.
Lu Sheng threw out a punch, and a golden fist seal descended from the heavens, accompanied by extreme killing force, spreading through the land.
With one punch, he slaughtered the surrounding Void Insect Race creatures, then glanced at his wristwatch.
Sure enough, a points tally slowly appeared on the wristwatch.
"The points tally has already started, huh?"
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at their 856th squad’s ranking, which was not very high, far outside the top hundred.
"Whether it’s the results of the Star River competition or this kill ranking, we must give it our all!"
Lu Sheng spoke softly, smiled lightly, and took a step forward, heading straight towards several approaching sixth-level Hive Tyrants.
As the 856th combat squad entered this mechanical star body, they naturally attracted attention from those sixth-level Void Insect Race creatures.
At this moment, they were already charging towards the 856th combat squad.
"Four late-stage sixth-level Hive Tyrants?"
Yang Bufan’s brows furrowed slightly.
Individually, Hive Tyrants are actually considered average among beings of the same cultivation level.
But they can control a portion of the Void Insect Race creatures like a mother hive consciousness, which is the most troublesome aspect.
Now, four late-stage sixth-level Hive Tyrants are attacking, surely bringing along many Void Insect Race creatures.
This makes the task of clearing the mechanical star body increasingly difficult.
"Everyone, I’ll hold off these creatures. You clear the Void Insect Race inside the mechanical star body as quickly as possible!"
Lu Sheng’s calm voice echoed.
Everyone glanced at Lu Sheng but did not speak, quickly resuming the task of clearing the Void Insect Race inside the mechanical star body.
Before arriving, Lu Sheng had stated his expertise in defense, and everyone trusted him, efficiently continuing their work without needless words.
Lu Sheng stood outside the mechanical star body, calmly watching the approaching Hive Tyrants.
As the four Hive Tyrants came before Lu Sheng and let out deafening roars, Lu Sheng’s eyelids only lifted slightly, and a voice devoid of any emotion slowly echoed.
