Chapter 2016: What It Means to Be the Number One Sect

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A cabin door on the Starfire Battleship suddenly opened.

Immediately afterward, two massive black dragons flew out from within.

These dragons possessed bodies that were tens of thousands of feet in length and were covered in extremely hard scales. They crashed through the dense barrage of attacks unleashed by the Ant Tribe powerful beings and completely ruined their battle formation.

“They are the two True Dragons of the Four Nine Immortal Sect!”

The defending army was ecstatic, and many of them began to whoop with excitement and joy.

“This is great! I didn’t think they would come here!”

They had thought that these Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures would be stationed on the eastern front, but who would have thought that they would appear here? Could it be that the Four Nine Immortal Sect had already predicted that the enemy was very powerful in advance!

“Maintain formations!”

“Retaliate! Those are only two Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures!”

After a brief panic, the new Ant Tribe powerful beings began to set up formations and retaliate.

However, in the next instant.

“Who told you that there were only two Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures?”

A voice filled with bloodlust suddenly erupted.

Immediately afterward, a Kirin with crimson energy revolving around his entire body leaped up from the deck of the battleship. His body transformed into a crimson streak that was filled with killing intent, and he pounced directly toward a dual-sword-wielding Ant Tribe powerful being.

The ant hurriedly slashed both swords toward the Kirin at the same time.

“Heaven Crushing Kirin!” The crimson Kirin’s claws fell as massive crimson streaks of light and tore apart the ant’s twin swords along with its entire body.

Dongfang Zhuangshi was a Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage super mighty figure, and to him, killing a Dao Integration Initial Stage ant that had been deprived of sixty percent of its power was like beating up a little kid.

Immediately afterward, divine flames spread through the entire sky.

A regal and holy phoenix appeared on the battlefield amid boundless waves of fire. The divine flames converged into a vicious storm that forced several Ant Tribe powerful beings into retreat.

Two graceful, blue figures tore through the air.

The Great Empress of the snow maidens broke through the defenses of the ant wielding heavenly fire power before reaching for the ant. Her palm made contact with the ant’s head, upon which its body was shattered like crumbling ice.

Shangguan Yi fought in an even more direct manner. Her body was like a sharp sword as it pierced into the Ant Tribe powerful beings’ battle formations, and she unleashed the unique frost power of the Ice Matriarch. Terrifying extreme frost power burst forth, killing one ant and injuring three more.

The Kingdom of the Nine States United Army on the city walls of Qiu Ye City looked on with incredulity. The cage of black lines had been transformed into an abattoir by the Four Nine Immortal Sect Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures.

Xiao Ze, Xiao Tu, phoenix Little Huang, Dongfang Zhuangshi, the Great Empress of the snow maidens, Shangguan Yi… Six Four Nine Immortal Sect Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures had appeared! Furthermore, all of them were considered to be extremely powerful, even among Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures! As such, the weakened Ant Tribe powerful beings were being comprehensively crushed!

The Heavenly Ant God was unable to remain calm any longer.

Did the Four Nine Immortal Sect possess so many powerful beings?

Was this the true power of the number one sect in the Kingdom of the Nine States?

If Bai Ling hadn’t unleashed that Heaven Deprivation Ball, the thirty-six Ant Tribe powerful beings would have been able to fight on par with the Four Nine Immortal Sect powerful beings. However, following the activation of the Heaven Deprivation Ball, the Ant Tribe powerful beings had no chance.

“Did you plan all of this in advance! You intentionally hid to goad me into unleashing my trump card so you could crush all of us at once…” The Heavenly Ant God gritted his teeth with a thunderous expression on his face.

If he had known how powerful the Four Nine Immortal Sect was in advance, he most definitely wouldn’t have sent the new Ant Tribe powerful beings into a direct confrontation with them. In fact, he might well have decided to stage an immediate retreat before surveying the situation carefully.

All of this had happened because of that nasty woman’s sinister plan!

He had been too careless… He had underestimated the Four Nine Immortal Sect…

There were only two options available to the Heavenly Ant God now. The first option was to engage in a direct battle, while the second option was to retreat and leave the other Ant Tribe powerful beings to die.

The logical part of his mind told him that the best course of action now would be to immediately retreat. He had seen the trump cards and powerful beings the enemy possessed, so he could make ample preparations before challenging them again.

He could just give birth to new ants to replace these ones, and he would keep birthing more until the battle was won.

If he were to engage in a direct battle now, there was a very high likelihood that he would lose…

The best option was actually quite apparent. However, the Heavenly Ant God couldn’t help but tremble with rage and humiliation at the sight of the ants being slaughtered and the celebrating human army.

This was his first battle as well as the new Ant Tribe’s first battle, so it held extremely important meaning. They should have been able to massacre the Kingdom of the Nine States and rock the entire continent, but what was happening now? They couldn’t even take down a small human city! Furthermore, all of the new Ant Tribe powerful beings were going to be wiped out!

No! This was too much humiliation to bear!

The Heavenly Ant God absolutely couldn’t allow this kind of failure.

He wasn’t some emotionless Heavenly God. On the contrary, he was an Ant Tribe life form that had been instilled with heavenly power. Thus, he possessed an abundance of emotions, and those emotions made him unable to accept the humiliation of such a crushing defeat.

His body transformed into a pitch-black streak of light as he hurtled toward the Heaven Deprivation Ball in the sky.

F*ck it!

There was a chance for a comeback as long as he could destroy that Heaven Deprivation Ball!

Boom!

At this moment, the Starfire Battleship unleashed a Starfire Annihilation Cannon blast toward the Heavenly Ant God.

“Myriad Heavenly Ant Erosion!” The Heavenly Ant God extended a hand toward the oncoming cannon blast, and black mist shot forth from his hand before rushing toward the purple galaxy of energy like a black dragon.

The purple galaxy of energy was imbued with a devastating power, but a hole was eroded into it down the middle by the black mist. The energy was not dispelled or redirected. Instead, it had been eroded into nothingness.

There was a saying that an ant’s nest could bring about the downfall of a massive dam. In reality, the black mist unleashed by the Heavenly Ant God consisted of countless tiny Heavenly Dao ants that possessed the most formidable erosion and engulfment powers. They were able to chew through all things that appeared to be indestructible, and this was not limited to just matter; they could even chew through spell techniques and energy.

The Starfire Annihilation Cannon Blast was engulfed in its entirety by the countless tiny ants. These ants then went on to pounce toward the Heaven Deprivation Ball, clearly intending to destroy it as well.

“Full magic activation! Extreme kinetic energy, Star Shattering Blast!” Liu Qianhuan let loose a loud cry.

Boom!

A special, pitch-black metal ball was blasted from the Starfire Battleship’s main cannon, and it traveled at a tenth of the speed of light. Terrifying speed combined with extreme density equated to extreme kinetic energy. This metal ball possessed a power that could puncture or even shatter an entire planet!

The Heavenly Dao ants released by the Heavenly Ant God began to chew at the metal ball, but they were only able to chew a few cracks into the ball before it reached the Heavenly Ant God. It was simply too fast!

The Heavenly Ant God threw a fist at the ball, upon which a terrifying collision ensued, creating a series of astonishing spatial cracks within a radius of over five hundred kilometers.

The Heavenly Ant God possessed another property unique to ants, and that was his extreme strength. In a contest of pure strength, he feared no one.

However, in the next instant, he could clearly hear the bones in his hands cracking.

The black ball then began to bend his arm before crashing heavily into his body. His entire body was twisted and flattened by the ball before being crushed all the way into the distance…

“Hmph, who gave you the confidence to block my Star Shattering Cannon Blast? Just resign yourself to being crushed.” Liu Qianhuan wore a triumphant smile. No one could compare to her when it came to proficiency in operating the Starfire Battleship. After witnessing the properties of the tiny ants unleashed by the Heavenly Ant God, she immediately changed tactics, and as expected, she was now reaping the rewards for her quick thinking.

The Heavenly Ant God was blasted away by the black ball for over a thousand kilometers before finally arresting his momentum.

His entire body was in so much pain that he felt as if he had been disassembled, and he couldn’t help but throw up a mouthful of blood.

Not only did this ball possess extreme kinetic energy, but it was also imbued with an extremely pure and terrifying heaven crushing power. Those two powers combined were able to break through his heavenly power defenses and deal severe wounds upon his body.

However… he didn’t understand how the heaven crushing power was infused into a lifeless battleship. What kind of dark technology was this?

Never would the Heavenly Ant God have thought that a Heavenly God such as himself would be wounded by a battleship. This made him feel extremely humiliated. However, he also managed to completely calm down after taking that attack.

He had to admit that the Four Nine Immortal Sect was too powerful and unpredictable.

Should I run?

Thoughts of retreat began to appear in the Heavenly Ant God’s mind.
