Chapter 1820: Those Who Are Ignorant Are Fearless!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Bai Kaixin, Bai Xingjian, Jin Xinyue, Ding Lingdang, Wu Mayan, and all the other soldiers of the federal army and Cultivators who were fighting in blood detected that objects of high masses and spiritual energy were arriving unstoppably.
The twisted spiritual waves were so immense that the hideous, devastating appearances of the starships of the Imperium were outlined clearly on the light beam. They were like a bunch of unparalleled fiends that had just crawled out of their nests at the bottom of the abyss!
Burning Prairie suffered yet another serious explosion. Endless fuel, scraps, and broken limbs of the crew members flooded out. The No. 2 engine compartment was completely gone. The No. 3 and No. 4 engine compartments were on fire. Venomous air was spreading, and melted iron was flowing, turning the middle and rear parts of the starship into a living hell, where eight Colossi in total both from the enemy’s side and their own side were still fighting fiercely.
Quite a few main-force warships nearby were unable to launch a counterattack under the enemy’s bombardment. They struggled hard in the fireballs of explosions that looked like lumps. Ahead of them was an iron wall made of tremendous space torpedoes shot out by the starships of the Imperium, which was as impenetrable as an asteroid!
Failed. The federation had completely failed. Nothing could possibly stop the arrival of the enemy’s reinforcements!
However, now that they had reached this point, did they really have a second option other than to push forward?
…
On the burning bridge of Burning Prairie, Bai Kaixin, whose face was burnt and bleeding, roared, “Third, fourth, and sixth branch fleets, break away from the battlefield whatever the cost is, retreat to the behind of the Wall of Heaven’s Origin, and prepare to defend the home planet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector! First, second, and the fifth branch fleets, march forward with Burning Prairie! For the Burning Prairie Fleet, for the federation’s six hundred years of glory!”
…
“March forward. A hundred billion compatriots are watching you from behind. You are the legendary strongest Cultivators that have ever existed, the qi-trainers!” Ding Lingdang, who was rushing forward together with the legion of qi-trainers, roared.
“Building Foundation Stage? Core Formation Stage? Nascent Soul Stage? We are qi-trainers from Iron Plateau! Let your soul explode and break the entire universe if you are a man!”
Wu Mayan and all the qi-trainers burst into laughter. Their spiritual energy echoed and reverberated with their soul, while they marched forward like ten thousand suns.
…
“March forward. Show the filthy worms of the Imperium the last pride of demons!”
On Silver Moon, Jin Xinyue’s hair was messy, and she was as crazy as a devil. There was no longer any cunningness inside her eyes, only the madness of an expert demon.
Perhaps a lot of warriors of the demon race were still slightly different from the human warriors in terms of appearance, but their blood was equally hot!
…
“Get out of my way. Let me personally pilot the starship. March toward the nine-couplet main gun of Black Swirl! The main gun is already too seriously damaged to lock onto us!”
In the main cockpit of Infinite Fire, Bai Xingjian’s eyes turned into a raging flood. His telepathic thoughts spread out crazily and completely melded with the starship. He laughed in the most arrogant way.
“Come on. Regardless of whether you are Immortal Cultivators from the Imperium of True Human Beings or the so-called extraterrestrial devils, let me teach you a lesson today on how you should pilot a starship!”
…
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Are those poor bugs going to have their last attempt?”
On the bridge of Black Swirl, Heiye Ming perceived the anomaly of the federal fleet keenly and immediately understood what his opponent wanted.
Such futile struggles, which were nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a car with their forelegs, could only make him put on a cold, scornful smile.
The commander of the Black Wind Fleet held his arms and tapped his shoulder with his fingers unhurriedly.
“In another three minutes, my main troops will all arrive in this pitiful world, and Burning Prairie, the flagship of those bugs, is about to collapse!
“Illuminating the entire universe with a burning prairie? Hehe. Those who are ignorant are indeed fearless. The darkness of the universe far exceeds the imagination of the bugs like you. Let me break your fantasy and tell you the cruel truth!”
…
On the home planet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector, every city and village was mired in fright and panic.
The space battle of the main fleets of both parties and the unimaginable collision of spiritual energy would unleash tremendous abnormal radiation and high-energy particles. It was impossible to fool everyone.
Although the Defense Counsel of the Federation had not issued the Highest Alarm Order yet, the evacuation of the general public had long begun.
The first to be evacuated were the children in school.
As the hope of the federation, they had the top priority to enter the underground fortresses that had been armed to teeth and receive the most thorough protection.
On the playgrounds of the schools, right below the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flags that were flying in the wind, the children lined up under the organization of their teachers and the members of the Federation’s Disabled Servicemen Association and boarded the shuttles bound for the underground world.
Hearing the ear-splitting alarms in all directions, the children all had pale faces. Their big eyes that were as clear as water were now mixed with complicated ripples. Even the naughtiest boys fell silent and even offered to comfort the younger children of lower grades who were weeping.
After only half a day, the children had grown up a lot and learned many things that did not befit their age.
But deep inside their eyes, the brilliance as pure as diamonds was still not gone.
Those who were ignorant were fearless. It was probably right.
Perhaps, compared to those who understood the darkness of the universe clearly, the children were more resolute and determined and trusted more that there was brightness in this world!
Around the campuses, pillars of smoke and light interweaved into thousands of Babel towers that pierced through the clouds, illuminating the sky that was packed with dark clouds into various colors.
The colors were so profuse, glamorous, and brilliant that they might have been enough to tear apart the clouds if there had been a tiny bit more of them.
At the ends of the Babel towers, the civil Cultivators and the members of the Federation’s Disabled Servicemen Association organized themselves and marched toward the space, stabbing a hole in the dark sky!
“Miss Zhou…”
A plumb little girl, who was wearing a big red bowknot and holding a toy in the shape of a space shuttle, timidly said, “Dad said that he would go to the sky to beat the bad guys and that he would pick me up after the bad guys ran away. Do you think that they can drive the bad guys away? When can Dad come back?”
Miss Zhou gazed at the clouds on the horizon for a long time and did not come back to herself for a long time. She did not know how she should face the child’s innocent eyes.
“Of course they can. My dad is in the sky, too. He is an awesome Exo. Every time we play arm wrestling, he can defeat me and my mom together with only one finger! If your dad can’t do it, there’s still my dad. They are definitely going to win! They will drive away all the bad guys after a few kicks and punches!”
Instead of waiting for Miss Zhou to reply, a boy who was missing a front tooth shouted and even patted the shoulder of the little girl as if he were an adult, a movement that he had just learned from a veteran. He reassured her, “There’s no need to worry!”
“Your dad is nothing,” another eloquent little girl shouted. “My dad is the real awesome one. He works in the engine compartment of a starship. A starship huger than the hill next to our campus listens to his command alone to run fast. Yes. It even runs faster than light!”
“My dad works there, too—”
“My dad! My dad, too!”
The shuttle immediately turned into an obstreperous ocean. All the words gathered into the same warm comfort. “Rest assured. This is our home. Our dads and moms are definitely going to drive away the bad guys!”
Boom! Crack!
An explosive peel of thunder echoed on the horizon, leading to a series of crazily dancing lightning. The dark clouds that had sulked for an entire day were ripped with a narrow, long gap. Brilliance as red as magma was rolling above the clouds, illuminating every child’s round face into redness. In their trance, there was even no telling whether it was the sunset or the vigorous morning glow!
…
On the battlefield, the probe systems of all the tactical crystal processors were beeping in ear-splitting noises. The high-energy reactions near the space gate of the Imperium grew more and more intense, far more impressive than what befitted regular starships!
“Something is not right. Such intense energy reactions… The main troop of the Black Wind Fleet is a bit too strong.”
Ding Lingdang, Bai Xingjian, Bai Kaixin and the rest of them, who had abundant experience in space battles, were deeply confused by the spiritual energy indexes fed back by their crystal suits.
“This—this is not the spiritual waves of starships but the spiritual waves of Colossi!”
“Damn it, damn it, damn it! How many more Colossi has the Black Wind Fleet been hiding?”
“Three? Five? Seven? No, no. More than ten Colossi! How is that possible? The Black Wind Fleet can still bring out a dozen Colossi at a time like this? This is unbelievable!”
Despite Bai Kaixin’s calmness, Bai Xingjian’s madness, and Ding Lingdang’s valiance, when they sensed a dozen Colossi arriving in the most invincible gesture, they sensed coldness to their bones at the same time.
Little did they know that on the bridge of Black Swirl, Heiye Ming, who had been smiling and confident of his victory a moment earlier, was dumbfounded. The veins protruding out of his face, and his hair was all standing up. His brain was almost exploding.
“More than ten Colossi!
“Such magnificent flames of spiritual energy. What are the levels of the Colossi? Why are they so well preserved?
“Where do they come from? Who are they? Why? Why?”
The commander of the Black Wind Fleet roared and jumped toward the control panel without considering anything, trying to prevent the tragedy, but it was already too late.
The four-dimensional swirl summoned by the space gate had blossomed to the maximum. Countless starships of the Imperium were passing through the ‘narrow’ wormholes like a bunch of obese dinosaurs. Right then, a series of shining bubbles surged out of the depths of the space swirl.
Those bubbles were like unpredictable phantoms of energy. Colliding with each other and glowing rapidly, they split crazily until they evolved into a destructive storm that swept across the entire four-dimensional swirl!
