Chapter 1187: Fight!
Seeing the terrifying horde of Dragon Mantis Beasts, everyone's countenance turned ugly as they retreated madly
"Ah!!"
"We can't go out!!"
"Shit, we can't go out!!"
"..."
Many of the weaker races tried to leave the Tower of Babel, however, when they slammed into the energy shield, they were immediately vaporized, leaving behind screams of misery and unwillingness.
Those human experts who were still picking up the precious fruits outside were horrified and fled back to their battleships.
From the human battleships, Heavenly Lord Lei Huang's voice rang out, "Attack, kill our way in!!"
The thousand-strong fleet immediately got into action, maintaining a steady speed as they opened their throttles and headed towards the swarm of Dragon Mantis Beasts.
In that instant, countless beams of lights blasted out at the Mutant Beasts. With the joint effort of the humans, over thousands were being slaughtered every second, and pieces of flesh and blood splattered all over the ground below, nourishing the soil.
The horde of Dragon Mantis Beasts was being cleared in large numbers, however, there were still groups of them that managed to weave through the rain of firepower, flying towards the battleships.
At that moment, the Type 8 Holy Sons and Daughters appeared, donning their enhanced armor, as they clashed against the Dragon Mantis Beasts.
The human fleet was in a formation, with every battleship being the nucleus, with numerous experts providing constant support, cursing and weakening the Dragon Mantis Beasts, while blessing and buffing the Holy Sons and Daughters. With their support, the gap between the two sides was gradually widened, and the Dragon Mantis Beasts were being taken down easily.
However, due to the ferocious nature of those beasts, in their retaliation, there would be unfortunate human experts that got torn apart.
Witnessing the might of the battleship fleet, many of the experts of the other races and species quickly gathered near the formation, in order to live on, as they resisted the beasts with their own formations and arrays as well.
Likewise, the human fleet needed the foreign races to help take on some of the pressure, hence, they did not act against the foreign races.
"Chance!!"
Yue Zhong took a look at the Dragon Mantis Beasts and felt excited. He flew out of the battleship, and grabbed out at thin air, as the atmospheric energy congealed to form a huge claw, and squashed 10 Dragon Mantis Beasts in a flash.
The pure streams of life force surged into his body, refreshing his Spirit, and he grabbed at the 10 nuclei as well.
The Dragon Mantis Beasts had high offense and low defense, with Yue Zhong's current strength, he could easily take out 10 in one go.
After that, he waved his hands, and the 5,000 Mech Bugs that he obtained from Zu Yuan Ting flew out, pouncing towards the Dragon Mantis Beasts.
As the 5,000 Mech Bugs clashed against the Dragon Mantis Beasts, they began to devour the Mutant Beasts, leaving not even any nuclei behind.
The Dragon Mantis Beasts were savage as well. Their blades were incredibly sharp, capable of even ripping space, and many Mech Bugs were torn apart.
When Yue Zhong released the Mech Bugs, he waved his hands and revealed another 105 Fighter Mechs, equipped with C-Grade particle cannons, which immediately began firing at the Dragon Mantis Beasts in the sky, tearing them apart.
After he had deployed the Mech army, Yue Zhong started to grab out at thin air, congealing multiple claws that grabbed out at patches of the Mutant Beasts, crushing their bodies, and keeping their corpses as well as nuclei into his Storage Ring.
As the horde of Dragon Mantis Beasts was being wiped out, Yue Zhong's accumulated Life Force was also growing rapidly.
These Dragon Mantis Beasts might be nightmares to other powerhouses, but to Yue Zhong, they were a treasure trove for him to increase his strength.
If it were outside, other than the Holy Heavens, it was impossible for so many Type 8 Mutant Beasts to appear. Furthermore, it was likely that other Type 9 experts might be aggravated outside, causing an all-out war between the humans and Mutant Beasts. However, there was no problem slaughtering so many Type 8 Dragon Mantis Beast, nor any consequences that he would have to worry about.
Holy Lord Yin He, who was surrounded by what seemed like a replica of the Milky Way, eyed Yue Zhong's slaughter of the Dragon Mantis Beasts and frowned, "Does this fellow not know how to conserve some energy? This is just the first level, and if he were to expend all his stamina, what will he do later?"
Holy Lord Yue Hua laughed in a charming manner, "I think he knows what he's doing. Look, he hasn't even activated his domain yet."
The strongest trump card of most Type 9 powerhouses was usually their domain, once activated, most life forms within the domain would be slaughtered.
However, with the spatial laws on the blades of the Dragon Mantis Beasts, while the domains might be able to eliminate many of them, the domains stood the risk of being sliced apart by these Beasts.
Once a Type 9 powerhouse's domain was sliced or damaged, their strength would suffer a drop for a short period. Hence, other than those who were caught in a swarm of the beasts, few would actually utilize their domains to deal with these Dragon Mantis Beasts.
A single Type 8 might not mean much to a Type 9 powerhouse, but with enough numbers, a Type 9 powerhouse would have to be careful.
As the human fleet of battleships charged through the Dragon Mantis Beasts, their cannons fired out constantly, while the experts constantly executed their techniques to take out as many as they could.
With every second passed in this chaotic battleground, many experts fell due to the savage and vicious nature of the Dragon Mantis Beasts.
"What is this?!"
"Ah!!"
"Help!!"
"..."
There were still experts from the other worlds entering the Tower of Babel, however, before they could even pluck any fruits on the ground, they would be torn apart by the Dragon Mantis Beasts that had swarmed at the entrance.
One black-caped man who was shrouded in dark qi stepped into the Tower of Babel and was instantly met with the assault of 10 Dragon Mantis Beasts.
The black-caped man swept them a gaze, his brows furrowing slightly as he muttered, "Damn, so many Dragon Mantis Beasts. Seems like if I don't expend some energy to take care of them, I can't pass through."
The Dragon Mantis Beasts had gotten to within 20m of the black-caped man, when their bodies started to rot, melting into puddles on the ground.
With a wave of his hands, a golden flag, engraved with a true dragon, qilin, and a vermillion bird, 3 mythical beasts, appeared. He waved it, causing it to glow, and a True Dragon emerged from the flag, roaring to life as it pounced into the horde of Dragon Mantis Beasts, exuding a powerful might, tearing apart the weaker Mutant Beasts into pieces.
The black-robed man flashed, and stepped on the head of the golden true dragon, channeling his energy as the beast slaughtered the Dragon Mantis Beasts in its way.
Initially, there were some experts lying in wait, hoping to fish in muddied waters, had no choice but to release their techniques and charged at the Dragon Mantis Beasts horde. The only way to survive was to attack and proceed.
On the other side, although the Dragon Beast Horde was still terrifying, their numbers were diminishing.
The fleet of battleships had paid the price of 5 ships, forcefully forging ahead for over 10,000 li, slaughtering a bloody path out, before they came to another domain, filled with countless precious fruits, their fragrance thick and heavy, and the atmospheric energy abundant.
"Those are Dragons of Vitality! It's rumored that only sacred grounds where energy was thick enough could produce such items!! To think there're so many here!!"
"That's a 9-Leaf Primordial Fruit! Eating one can increase the chance of a half-step Type 9 powerhouse breaking through by 0.1%! There are so many!! There's at least a 100 of them just over there!! They're mine!!"
"..."
Inside this region, the thick Dragons of Vitality floated through the air, while precious herbs and fruits could be seen everywhere on the ground. These were world-shaking items, empowering half-step Type 9 characters. Not even the Holy Heavens had so many resources.
Many people turned mad with glee and greed at the sight of those precious resources. They quickly soared out, pouncing towards the items they liked. These were important items for their breakthrough. It was precise because of such opportunities that many Holy Sons and Daughters were willing to risk their lives.
Even the Type 9 powerhouses, including Yue Zhong, were extremely moved when they caught sight of the treasures and resources. They quickly soared out and helped themselves to the collection as well.
There were many other fruits that were beneficial to those of the Type 9 realm as well.
At one particular patch, there was 10 9-Leaf Primordial Fruit, and a Type 8 Goose-man flew over, waving his hands and kept the fruits.
Another Holy Son dressed in a silver battle armor landed in front of the Goose-man and barked out, "Hand over those 9-Leaf Primordial Fruits!"
The Type 8 Goose-man snapped back, "Why should I? I obtained those first!"
