CHAPTER 1042: CHAPTER 1040: HOW ABOUT ANOTHER SHOT?

"I just won’t believe it!"

A purple mark actually appeared in the center of the forehead of a Legion Commander from Universe 157, and at the same time, the aura around him began to surge wildly.

Universe 157 doesn’t really have the concept of Foundation Techniques and Martial Dao secret arts; it’s a universe where bloodlines are revered. The stronger the race’s bloodline, the more powerful they become after activating their bloodline power.

Although this theory comes with certain costs when applied, once activated, the increase in power rivals some powerful secret martial arts techniques.

A looming silhouette of a giant appeared faintly behind him, seemingly able to crush stars barehanded. The fist wrapped in dense cosmic primal force carried a ripple that faintly distorted space as it aimed at the barrier ahead.

"Boom!"

A ripple visible to the naked eye appeared on the barrier, but as the ripple spread, the power was somehow dispersed and moments later returned to calm.

"Bang, bang, bang!" His fists continued pounding the shield, but all efforts were in vain.

With each punch landing on the shield, the comical expression meme on the shield actually began to spin slowly, causing their blood pressure to skyrocket.

"Use some strength, didn’t you eat?" Zhang Menglong shouted from inside, "Come on, use more force, you’re almost breaking it, come on! Once you break through, you can come in and kill me!"

"Level six life form?" Only then did they notice that the voice of this level six life form was exactly the same as that of the Legion Commander they communicated with earlier. Could their Legion Commander actually be merely a level six life form!

"What’s wrong? Looking down on a level six life form?" Zhang Menglong shrugged, "Even standing here letting you hit me, you still can’t touch me. You’re all useless, not a single one of you can fight!"

The faces of those Level Eight life forms were uncertain; a level six life form was insanely taunting them right in front of them. If it was normal, a single breath would be enough to make him lie on the ground, but now they could do nothing.

"What are you looking at? Not convinced? If you’re not, come in here and kill me!" Zhang Menglong took a step forward and actually penetrated the shield barrier, running outside.

But before they could react, Zhang Menglong suddenly retreated back inside.

"Hey, I came out!"

"Hey, I went back in!"

...

"The Legion Commander is really cheap."

"What to do, I actually have an impulse to kill him."

Not only those level eight life forms, but even Zhang Menglong’s own soldiers had slightly elevated blood pressure. If they had been the ones being provoked, their blood vessels might have exploded from anger!

"Let me introduce our Universe Seven’s IPX-001 Legion’s latest defensive weapon, the Comical Shield," Zhang Menglong demurred, "Whether it’s energy attacks or physical attacks, as long as it doesn’t exceed a full-strength strike from a level nine life form, it can be blocked. Continuous operation for an hour only consumes 10 star cores!"

This actually isn’t a true technological weapon but a high-level defensive formation from a magical civilization. On its own, it can only withstand attacks from a level six life form.

But magic has the characteristic of being able to merge and strengthen. By reinforcing with multiple formations, theoretically, as long as there’s enough ships with this high-level defensive formation, the defensive power can increase wildly.

With ten thousand ships, it can form a defensive array strong enough to withstand impacts from level eight life forms. Unless a level nine life form comes personally, it’s hard to break it.

Of course, if they recklessly attack at any cost, it heavily burdens their energy, but before they exhaust that energy, the opponent’s ships would already be reduced to scrap metal.

"Why is their technology so advanced?" The legion commanders started questioning life. With their current tech level, creating such offensive weapons and defensive systems would take eons.

Now it’s bad; their attacks couldn’t even crack the opponent’s turtle shell, but a single cannon from the opponent could cause them substantial losses. How’s this war even supposed to be fought?

"You’ve had your fun, now it’s my turn, right?" Zhang Menglong stretched out a hand, "Second battalion commander, prepare the Italian Cannon!"

The foremost 10 warships opened their cannon barrels, golden energy began to condense at the barrel mouths.

"Oh no, he’s going to attack our fleet again!"

Their faces changed, with 10 rounds of Italian Cannons, their fleet might be half destroyed!

"Fire!" Zhang Menglong ordered, and 10 golden beams shot towards Universe 157’s fleet.

"Protect the fleet!"

The level eight life forms of the 157 fleet immediately drew their weapons. If the fleet were destroyed, returning to their civilization would mean certain punishment from their universe.

In an instant, 10 fireballs engulfed them entirely; that explosive wave seemingly formed a blazing star in the entire frontier battlefield.

Level Eight life forms could easily evade such ultra-fusion weapon attacks, but to protect their fleet, they actually tanked it with their bodies!

"Legion Commander!" The warriors from Universe 157 looked at them now engulfed in flames, showing worried expressions. Directly taking such an attack, even for level eight life forms, certainly couldn’t end unscathed.

"Universe Seven is truly terrifying."

"In the future, we absolutely can’t provoke this universe. Otherwise, they’d launch these weapons, and aside from our headquarters, not a single base city could survive such an attack."

"Immediately take this news back to headquarters, and notify all our allied forces!"

...

[Ding, congratulations to the Dean, you’ve gained 10 Intimidation Points!]

"Delightful!" Zhang Menglong’s eyes almost laughed into tiny slits.

The flames gradually died down, finally revealing the bodies of the level eight life forms.

The intense ultra-fusion radiation had all their body hair burned clean, and even the clothing on them had completely disappeared except for the hardest parts.

The valuable weapons in their hands were either broken or melted, nearly indistinguishable from ordinary scrap metal. They had paid high prices to acquire those!

Everyone was severely burned, and a few were even missing limbs; although none directly perished from the ultra-fusion attack, no part of their bodies remained completely intact.

Their aura had also dropped by nearly half. The effect of those few ultra-fusion weapons was equivalent to a level eight life form’s full-power strike, even with spell and physical penetration.

These injuries would require at least hundreds to thousands of years to recover from.

Even they didn’t expect the ultra-fusion weapons to be this deadly. If these weapons improved further, they might directly take out a...no, an entire clan of level eight life forms!

"Tsk tsk tsk, this barbecued meat smells really good! Just a bit overcooked, if you add some cumin, the kids would drool," Zhang Menglong shook his head, looking at them with a sympathetic expression, "You guys are quite tough!"

"Second battalion commander, ready for the second salvo!"

This time, as many as 500 warships opened their cannons, their ominous barrels radiating a glow akin to a Heaven’s passage. Zhang Menglong, raising his hand, smiled at them, "How about another shot? No extra charge for more!"
