Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Chapter 200 Consumption

Zuo Chuan's commands were issued in rapid succession.

The Divine Sense Amplification Array and Defense Array on the Patrol Heaven Warship were fully activated, with each warship remaining on high alert.

As a qualified captain, he would never underestimate any opponent.

Even if the intelligence reports clearly indicated that this opponent was no match for them.

Under the enhancement of the Divine Sense Amplification Array, the Primordial Spirit Cultivators on the Patrol Heaven Warship continuously stimulated their Divine Senses, probing toward the disrupted area.

Compared with the Heavenly Palace Cultivators who sat high within the Nine Heavens, with a large range but low accuracy, the onboard Primordial Spirit Cultivators of the Patrol Heaven Warship were undoubtedly much more precise in their exploration.

With the boost from the array, these Divine Senses crossed tens of thousands of miles ahead of time, even swooping past the many Sword Cultivators who were heading toward them at full speed, and directly reached the far rear of this ten-thousand-mile battlefield, and then...

They shattered like waves upon the shore.

Directly crushed to pieces by the twelve Primordial Spirit Cultivators led by Alkaid.

The two were too far apart.

Tens of thousands of miles.

Even with array amplification, the strength of the Divine Sense extended to this region was less than half, how could the Primordial Spirit Cultivators on the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship perceive this carefully concealed area of the Sea Fortification Courtyard?

Let alone the fact that the actual individual overseeing the concealment of this area was a powerful Divine Cultivator who had reached the Dharma Phase Realm.

Soon, the Primordial Spirit Cultivators of the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship relayed this problem to Zuo Chuan.

Zuo Chuan had no better option and could only order the Patrol Heaven Warship to quickly approach the target.

In such a situation, both parties drew closer and closer...

Finally, when the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship was eight thousand miles away from Alkaid's position, the Sword Cultivators led by Tang Fenghua from the Sea Fortification Courtyard struck early, arriving three thousand miles away from the Spring Rain Vessel.

"Chief, we have arrived at the predetermined location."

The Divine Sense of Tang Fenghua resounded.

"Good! Form the Eight-Nine Wind Thunder Formation, unleash your swords with all your might, the rest is up to me!"

"Yes."

Upon receiving the command, Tang Fenghua and the seventy-two Great Sword Cultivators acted immediately, their Lifebound Flying Swords tore through the sky, forming a formation like a whirlwind cyclone made up of seventy-two Lifebound Flying Swords.

This cyclone, led by Tang Fenghua's improved version of the Purple Cloud 15 Flying Sword as its vanguard, rotated quickly with the other swords, generating unrestrained gusts and flashing thunderbolts as it went, resembling a huge dragon made of Flying Swords and thunder, darting straight for the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship.

...

As soon as the Sea Fortification Courtyard made a move, the Primordial Spirit Cultivators on the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship had already sensed it.

Zuo Chuan appeared somewhat surprised upon receiving this news, "How is that possible!?"

Three thousand miles!

Launching an attack from three thousand miles away!?

Do you think you have the range enhancing arrays of a city!?

Or do you believe you're also aboard a Patrol Heaven Warship!?

Although he didn't believe the Sword Array of the Sea Fortification Courtyard could hit from such a distance, he still quickly ordered, "Prepare the Sword Cultivators for interception! Integrate the information of the Flying Swords detected by the Divine Cultivators into the main control panel!"

After speaking, his gaze turned to the space above the control panel.

There, a field of dots was projected.

Next to the dots were numbers, marking out seventy-two.

On the other side of the control panel was their Patrol Heaven Warship.

The distance between the two was rapidly closing, but still, there were two thousand miles left.

"Without the boost of a formation, even Great Sword Cultivators who specialize in long-range attacks can only ensure they have killing power within a thousand miles at most. Beyond one thousand miles, let alone maintaining a formation, it will be difficult even to change the trajectory of the attack. Once it reaches two thousand miles, whether they can accurately sense their own Lifebound Flying Sword becomes a significant problem..."

Zuo Chuan said this, his gaze unblinkingly fixed on the control panel.

Quickly...

These Flying Swords had now shot to a distance of merely twenty-two hundred miles from them.

At this point, the swords, as expected...

The formation became a bit scattered.

But this disarray only lasted for a moment before stabilizing once more.

This situation...

"Primordial Spirits! Assistance and guidance from Primordial Spirit Cultivators!"

He abruptly ordered, "Ignore those tricksters in the rear, crush their Divine Senses guiding the Flying Swords! Sword Cultivators prepare to strike... wait until they're within three hundred miles of the warship before attacking. I want you to sever their Lifebound Flying Swords at the first opportunity, dealing them a heavy blow!"

His expression was ice-cold.

Sword Cultivators actually engaging in extreme range attacks, allowing Lifebound Flying Swords to cross three thousand miles to strike?

What's the difference between that and handing over one's Lifebound Flying Sword for someone else to smash?

"Buzz buzz!"

Powerful Divine Sense fluctuations, like an invisible tsunami, surged with the amplification array towards the sword formation made up of seventy-two Flying Swords.

But...

This Divine Sense, just like the previous attempt to probe the Yin Yang Disintegration Technique area prepared by Alkaid and others from a great distance, hit the shore directly, shattering into pieces and utterly failing to cause any disruption to the sword formation made up of seventy-two Flying Swords.

This outcome immediately caused Zuo Chuan's complexion to change.

The deputy captain in charge of coordinating the Primordial Spirit Cultivators immediately transmitted through Divine Sense, "The enemy definitely has Great Cultivators who have survived the Purple Cloud Thunder Tribulation, and not just one! Moreover, they seem to possess some kind of new technology, which completely merges the Divine Senses of all Divine Cultivators into a single entity, our Primordial Spirit Cultivators cannot cope with them even with the help of the amplification arrays!"

"A new technology... merging the Divine Senses of all Divine Cultivators into one entity..."

Zuo Chuan contemplated the mystique demonstrated by the Nine Cauldrons Sect when they defeated the Xuanming Sect...

"Is this the trump card of the Nine Cauldrons Sect?"

"Captain, the enemy's sword formation is now only six hundred miles away from us..."

At this moment, his deputy's prompt rang out.

"Prepare the Sword Cultivators to strike... intercept with full force! At the same time, raise the power of the Defensive Array to the maximum..."

Zuo Chuan immediately changed his orders.

But his expression was extremely grave.

"Swish swish swish!"

Sword lights tore through the sky!

Under the amplification of the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship's formation, the thirty-six sword cultivators from the Great Sun Sword Sect boldly made their move, their sword lights emitting a piercing screech as they formed a sword array and headed straight for the Eight-Nine Wind Thunder Sword Formation, which was under Alkaid's control.

The two waves of flying swords formed by the arrays were drawing nearer, nearer, and nearer...

Finally!

The two sword formations collided in the void.

What was shocking, though, was that the Eight-Nine Wind Thunder Sword Formation—despite spanning a distance of over two thousand six hundred miles—still retained a staggering destructive power.

Beneath the tumultuous wind and thunder, the two sword formations furiously grinded and clashed against each other until... finally...

Both sword formations simultaneously dispersed.

But...

Thirteen flying swords pierced through the void, bypassing the blockade of the sword cultivators, enhanced by the warship's formation from the Great Sun Sword Sect, and shot towards the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship.

The leading one was Tang Fenghua's improved model of the Purple Cloud 15 flying sword.

"Prepare to meet the flying sword bombardment..."

Zuo Chuan issued the command with a troubled expression.

"Boom!"

Brilliance flowed in all directions.

The thirteen flying swords fiercely slammed into the celestial warship's formation, rippling out visible ripples.

However, after all, having traversed nearly three thousand miles and penetrated the interception of the Spring Rain warship's sword cultivators, these thirteen flying swords had reached the end of their strength, causing only a slight flicker in the Spring Rain's defensive formation without inflicting any substantial damage.

Even so, this scene still turned Zuo Chuan's face completely grim.

The enemy launched an attack from three thousand miles away and could still breach their interception!?

Since when did the Nine Cauldrons Sect possess such capability!?

And their intelligence department knew nothing about this!?

...

Alkaid couldn't see Zuo Chuan's darkening face.

At this moment, his entire mind followed the ripples spreading out from the warship's defensive formation, comparing them with the numerous formation knowledge in his mind.

With just this one round of attack, he had already deciphered over 30% of the Spring Rain warship's defensive and sword cultivation amplification formations.

But...

It was not enough.

"Tang Fenghua, advance one thousand miles and launch the second round of attack. When breaking through the interception, Wang Feng and the others will lead the charge, while you and your team will stay behind. At that time, I will guide your attack to these points..."

Alkaid's divine sense quickly conveyed the message to Tang Fenghua.

"Understood!"

Tang Fenghua responded.

Out of the seventy-two flying swords, two had sustained some damage and needed more nurturing before they could join the next round of attacks.

But the loss of two swords would not affect the Eight-Nine Wind Thunder Sword Formation.

As everyone approached once again, the distance between the two parties was only two thousand miles.

Instantly, the second round of sword formation attacks erupted anew.

The Eight-Nine Wind Thunder Sword Formation rolled with wind and thunder, blasting towards the Spring Rain warship.

The Spring Rain warship, unwilling to be outmatched, launched its interception sword formation along with technique cultivators' spell attacks.

But the sword cultivators of the Spring Rain were only thirty-six in number.

Up against the Sea Fortification Courtyard, it was essentially one against two for each person.

Usually they could manage this with their equipment advantage, but now...

The advantage in equipment between the two sides had been slightly leveled.

Along with Alkaid's perfect control over the Eight-Nine Wind Thunder Sword Formation, this time, the sword cultivators on the Spring Rain could only deploy thirty-three flying swords.

Clearly, in the first collision, two people from the Sea Fortification Courtyard had damaged their lifebound flying swords, and the sword cultivators on the Spring Rain had similarly damaged three of their flying swords.

"Boom boom boom!"

The two sword formations collided again three hundred miles from the Spring Rain, exploding into fierce and violent energy fluctuations, not only tearing all the clouds in the sky but also causing a massive tsunami in the sea below.

This time...

Only eleven flying swords broke through the defense and hit the Spring Rain warship.

But these eleven flying swords retained much more power than the previous thirteen, enough to shake the entire celestial warship.

...

"The Heavenly Sword Divine Punishment Formation has minor damage."

"The Dragon Chant Sword Formation has lost a node, give me ten minutes, I can fix it!"

"The twelve defensive arrays are operating well!"

Orders continuously transferred into Zuo Chuan's hands.

Zuo Chuan looked at the damaged condition of the formations and frowned.

All of the sword cultivation amplification formations have been affected?

"What about the Sword Cultivation Department?"

He asked.

"Two more people have damaged their lifebound flying swords! But the damage isn't severe, they... seem to be targeting the formations."

His deputy reported.

"Targeting the formations!?"

Zuo Chuan snorted coldly, "They still think they can overthrow our celestial warship? This level of attack won't break all twelve defensive arrays even if they attack for an entire day! I want to see just how many rounds they can launch with such power. When their True Yuan is severely depleted, the offensive and defensive situation will reverse. Over a hundred people from the Sea Fortification Courtyard will become our prisoners."
