Chapter 4140 - Concentrated Attack!
Upon arrival at Grand Feng, the Tian Jiu Cult wasted no time in launching an attack, indicating that they had prior intelligence of the conflict between Tianming and Lord Yue on Grand Jiang. Although Lord Yue’s twenty-five million troops bolstered Grand Feng’s five million, their combined armies posed less of a challenge than Grand Jiang. They were the definition of an easy target! The kunlan primalwingers’ internal division presented the Tian Jiu Cult with an opportunity in crisis.
A formidable ring of ten thousand astralships encircled Grand Feng, their combined nova source creating a brilliant halo around the star. At the pope's command, all astralships attacked, unleashing a beam of light.
BOOM!!!
Once discovered, the star-cloaking formation was useless. When the beam of light found its mark, an ice-blue star shrouded in swirling blizzards was revealed. The astralguard formation was activated, generating a frosty hellscape as thick as the radius of a maniverse-class nova source. Grand Feng’s twenty-five million cosmic gods gathered in the snowstorm, completely unaffected and able to move freely within the astralguard formation.
The primalwingers unfolded their resplendent wings, each pair stretching at least several hundred meters. These wings not only boosted their combat capabilities but also granted them greater speed and agility, allowing them to maneuver their way through the snowstorm. Against the howling wind and heavy snow, their vibrant wings formed a colorful ocean. Though numerous, the primalwingers still appeared outnumbered by the ninety-million-strong Tian Jiu Cult.
"Here they come!"
A blinding pillar of light formed by ten thousand astralships was already streaking toward them as they looked up. Each astralship's attack unleashed devastation akin to a fortuna-class nova source, creating a deafening explosion in the icy landscape.
A thunderous roar ensued, violently shaking Grand Feng, sending tremors through its mountains, rivers, cities, and universe cities. Panic-stricken, the primalwingers stared upward, their breaths suspended in their throats.
Most of Grand Feng’s populace were aware of the events on Grand Jiang, condemning Tianming's ruthlessness and Jiang Tianzhou's heartlessness. Few blamed Lord Yue for refusing to kneel as they clung to the belief that he would still turn the tide.
This was perfectly normal. After all, Lord Yue was one of their own, while Tianming was an outsider commanding a ghoul army. The entire population, along with the twenty-five million warriors on Grand Feng, had pinned all their hopes on Lord Yue.
"The Tian Jiu Cult is hoping to exploit our window of vulnerability, so they’ll come at us hard. If we just hold on, we can not only repel them, but also shatter their forces!"
This conviction spread across Grand Feng, igniting a renewed fighting spirit. The first wave of attacks flooded the astralguard formation with a significant amount of nova source, causing icy shockwaves. Grand Feng’s army was hit and a part of their battle array scattered.
Right then, the ten-thousand-meter-tall pope and Ten Paladins appeared in the center of the astral armada.
