Electromagnetic power is an ability that Pei Yan awakened after ascending to the sixth level. He now increasingly experiences the terrifying effect of the modifications Lin Junzhao made to his body. Without advancing two levels, he automatically awakens an ability, in addition to the extra abilities within his body, which elevates his strength far beyond that of ordinary individuals at the same level.

And now, the electromagnetic power surrounding his body not only allows him to use an electromagnetic cannon without setting up a turret at will, but remarkably, this ability fused with the power of thunder previously absorbed from Song Mingyuan during his advancement. The merging of the two powers mutated, yielding a reward far greater than the sum of its parts.

Feeling the surging power throughout his body, Pei Yan slowly opened his eyes. After absorbing the upgraded Suzi from the supercomputer, he almost instantly locked onto his target and immediately determined in his mind how much power to apply, and the number of shells needed to destroy the enemy target.

With this information, Pei Yan arched his body and unleashed his palms, each strike accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder. One palm after another struck upon the specially made shells floating before him. For a moment, only the sound of air being pierced was heard, streaks of lightning traversed the sky as the shells rained down like a meteor shower, bombarding the Disaster Pillar in the distant territory.

Long before Pei Yan prepared to attack, Jiang Feiyang had already set up an artillery camp with eighteen howitzers. He took out a pair of earplugs from his pocket and handed them to his companions, hesitated for a moment as he looked at Bailang and the others beside him, but eventually walked over and handed them out.

The controllers, who took the earplugs from Jiang Feiyang's hand without understanding why, watched him demonstrate putting the plugs in his ears. Exchanging a glance, they chuckled lightly and remained unmoved, except for Bailang, who had previously cooperated with Pei Yan, obediently putting the earplugs in his ears.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Just as Bailang finished putting on his earplugs, a series of roars came from the sky. Before the controllers could recover from the ear ringing, the ground under their feet trembled violently. Eighteen howitzers on the mountaintop fired in unison, producing a deafening roar. Simultaneously, Catherine flew into the sky, arms outstretched, firing shell after shell towards the Disaster Territory.

Three accompanying controllers, ignoring the trickles of blood from their self-healing ears, looked at the scene in shock. This seemingly unimpressive little fat guy's ability was one of the reasons for the destruction of Friedrich's subordinates at the venue that day. And the terrifying aura emanating from Pei Yan in the sky made the three shiver with fear, while also feeling fortunate for choosing the right faction this time.

Under the storm-like bombardment, the Disaster Pillar was blasted into pieces almost instantaneously. Watching the collapsing Disaster Pillar and the red Disaster in the sky beginning to fade, Pei Yan paused his offensive and descended from the air. He approached Jiang Feiyang, gestured a hand sign to continue the attack, then nodded to Bailang before diving into the Teleportation Mirror.

A moment later, Pei Yan emerged from the Teleportation Mirror into the Demon Race army camp, facing a worried Sifuer and many anxious Demon Race commanders waiting there. Sifuer followed by Pei Yan's side, asking, "How's the frontline battle going?"

"The first strike has shattered the Disaster Pillar. Where's the Warlock Legion I need?" Pei Yan shouted as he walked.

"Here, as per your request, six thousand warlocks are ready in twenty groups, all prepared to launch an attack at any time," a Demon Race commander pointed to an open space in front of the Teleportation Mirror and explained.

"Excellent!" Pei Yan glanced at the troop and waved his hand, summoning nine light screens before him. The scenes in the light screens corresponded to the Red Armor Warrior camp in the Disaster Territory. Now, with his ability to activate electromagnetic power without electromagnetic turret installations, the space that could house three full-power plasma cannons after his advancement is now used for the first round of attacks in the nine spaces.

Having completed these arrangements, Pei Yan turned around and started walking back, occasionally instructing the nearby Sifuer, "The army departs now...."

"Don't worry about that. Shortly after you set off, our second vanguard was dispatched, and now the entire army is ready to march," Sifuer hurriedly explained.

"Hmm, five to ten minutes later, I will relay information to you via earpiece. By then, our first round of attacks will also be nearing its end. Once you get the message, have the twenty warlock groups launch a successive attack, don't stop, and don't hold back – unleash everything in one go, understand?" Pei Yan commanded sternly in front of the Teleportation Mirror.

"Rest assured, I understand the importance of this matter and will not compromise on it!" Sifuer promised with a smile.

Watching Pei Yan dive back into the Teleportation Mirror, Sifuer turned around, shedding her earlier smile. Her granduncle Samikina had already led the second wave of the army to provide support. As the deputy commander, she was currently the highest-ranking commander in the camp. With the overpowering authority of her two elder family members gone, other leaders in the command centers began to look down on her. Sifuer understood her elders' intentions well. They were risking things to hone her response abilities.

"Hel, hold my token and order that, apart from leaving ten thousand cavalry to protect the warlock squads, all other units must depart. The warlock group should board the specially equipped carriages immediately after completing a round of attacks, and start on the road to recuperate, ensuring they can launch the next round of attacks upon reaching the battlefield."

"Understood!"

Sweeping her gaze over Hel, who respectfully took her token, Sifuer turned to Christina beside her and said, "Lead your team to go with her. If anyone disobeys orders or shows even a hint of slackness, they are to be summarily executed according to military law."

"Understood!"

Returning from the Teleportation Mirror, Pei Yan couldn't care less about whether the Demon Race could align itself in spirit. Just after stepping out of the Teleportation Mirror, he was almost toppled by the gusting blast. Amid the rumble of artillery fire, he pulled Jiang Feiyang aside, removed his earplugs, and shouted close to his ear, "What's the situation now?"

Jiang Feiyang, barely hearing Pei Yan's shout, also pressed his mouth close and shouted, "Are those Disaster Legions stupid? I've never seen anything like it. Instead of dispersing during the bombardment, they cluster together, leaving themselves open to our attacks."

Pei Yan shook his head at him and gestured to continue the attack. Of course, the Disaster Legion isn't stupid; it's just that their mindset hasn't transitioned. Possessing strong defense, self-healing, and damage absorption abilities, clustering together significantly enhances these traits. In their view, there is no need to disperse and risk getting isolated and eliminated.

However, Pei Yan seized upon this trait of theirs to give them a proper lesson. Thinking of this, he walked to Ye Ruozai nearby, looked at the Sword Array floating above, and nodded to him. Receiving the signal, Ye Ruozai immediately waved the Sword Array away, sending it soaring toward the Red Armor Warrior Group above.
