A dark shadow covered up the sky and the Great Wall Universityâs energy shield was forcibly compressed and deformed. It caved inward and a humongous shadow forcibly squeezed its way in.
The massive figure floated over everyoneâs head, appearing as if it wanted to crush everything before its eyes. Layers of shadows shrouded everyoneâs hearts and they were unable to summon any will to resist.
This monster was 10,000 zhang in size, like a huge island. Its entire body was forged from metal and emitted strong ferocity. It was also extremely hideous, like a huge tentacle monster that had over 10,000 tentacles. Each of the tentacles was thick like huge pillars, agile like snakes, and waved about in the air.
The moment something got close, they would be crushed no matter how sturdy they were
The mechanical giant had over 1,000 huge eyes that shot countless beams of red rays out, attacking both friend and foe.
The red beams were as thick as rainbows, shooting out incessantly. They were densely-packed and came plunging down like rain, not sparing even the spirit mechanical beasts. The spirit mechanical beasts were instantly penetrated and exploded. The scattered remains were grabbed by the many tentacles and brought into the monsterâs stomach. It started chewing.
Those interstellar warriors were insignificant like ants before this huge spirit monster, and great casualties were suffered.
Their bodies of flesh and blood were roasted into chars by the red beams and slapped into meat dregs by the tentaclesâ lashes. Even the micro-mechas they were wearing were smashed, thrown into the big mouth that was like a black hole, and engulfed cleanly. Nothing was left behind.
The mechanical tentacles kept sending out many energy waves, electromagnetic waves, nuclear explosions, and gravitational fields... Wherever the mechanical monster passed by, the universityâs energy fields were completely thrown into disarray. The energies of the micro-mechas, small-scaled space shuttles, and many machinery weaponsâall were thrown into disarray from the disturbances. All of them exploded in space.
Without the micro-mechas, humansâ carbon-based bodies were unable to survive for long in outer space. Many people werenât killed by the tentacles but had died from suffocation in outer space or frozen into ice.
Under the metal tentaclesâ crazy lashings, the humansâ stringent formation was thrown into disarray. The interstellar warriors were forced to back off repeatedly.
With this humongous mechanical beast entering the battlefield, it was as if a huge Kun had entered a small pond. With just a casual turn of its body, it would crush many fishes. Its big mouth kept engulfing non-stop and nothing was left behind.
Both spirit mechanical beasts and human warriors fled in all directions, no longer caring about the battle. If they were slow in escaping, they would instantly land into the huge beastâs mouth and were engulfed, with not even dregs left behind.
The huge spirit mechanical monster had completely dominated the entire battlefield single-handedly, conquering the starry sky and suppressing everything.
Ferocious mechanical armies scattered and the stringent human formation broke down. They were like a collapsed mountain, unable to put up any resistance.
Facing this huge spirit monster, everyone wore astonished expressions. What kind of terrifying monster did the spirit race let out?!
The huge spirit monster came crashing over, smashing toward the Great Wall University. It used its massive metal body, wanting to crumble the Great Wall Universityâs fortress.
The massive black shadow came pressing down from a great height and was unstoppable.
Seeing that the Great Wall Universityâs fortress was about to be knocked down, everyone inside and outside the Great Wall University gasped and the situation was in great chaos.
If the fortress really were to be knocked, even if it wouldnât collapse, as long as it received damage, the energy shield that fended off the invasion from countless spirits would be greatly affected. Its intensity would plunge greatly.
When that time came, the Great Wall Universityâs defense would probably undergo a series of chain reactions and completely give way. One would be able to imagine the outcome for the interstellar humans then. It would be extremely tragic.
âThat huge spirit monster is about to come colliding. What should we do?â
âIs there no one else who can stop it?â
âLetâs run!â
...
The black shadow came pressing down and some people with weaker minds fell into a great panic.
Looking at the huge black shadow crushing toward them caused their heart and soul to collapse.
Was it impossible to fend off?!
At a corner of the battlefield, Feng Lin looked solemnly at the huge spirit monster wreaking havoc. His countenance was extremely grim.
From the moment this huge spirit monster appeared, he sensed that things werenât right. He had the feeling that there was an impending disaster and he instinctively fled. It was only because of this that he managed to dodge the fierce prowess of the huge monster and wasnât implicated.
The defeated troops were like a collapsed mountain.
Humanityâs front line was instantly shattered. Feng Linâs heart uncontrollably sank to the very bottom when he saw the fleeing figures.
Intense auras of despair permeated the battlefield. Everyone within and outside of the Great Wall University was shaken up, unable to summon any will to put up resistance at all.
âIt seems that itâs our turn!â A group of big shots at the top of the Great Wall Universityâs fortress looked at the huge spirit monster. They looked at each other, releasing majestic auras that were like the deep abyss and a tall mountain.
One Marshall couldnât help but let out a deep bellow, feeling strong killing intent rising within him.
As Marshalls, not only did they lead their own military unit, but their battle prowess was also considered to be the greatest amongst the interstellar humans. They were the core pillars that humanity had against the extraterrestrial races.
A few of the Marshalls had their eyes filled with cold killing intent and seemed as if they were about to make a move.
âHold on!â The Interstellar Warfare Marshall who stood at the very front spoke up and organized their attacks. âThis huge spirit monster will need some time if it wants to completely crush our line of defense. We can wait a little longer. We may be able to help these interstellar warriors and the Great Wall University for now, but we wonât be able to help them forever! In the end, things will have to fall on these youngsters. The more desperate the situation is, the greater the potential true geniuses tend to be able to erupt. This will bring out the real elites. Letâs wait a bit until the very last moment. It wonât be too late for us to make a move after we see that things really canât work out.â
The big shots nodded upon hearing this. Although this was too dangerous to the interstellar cultivators on the battlefield, some sacrifice was needed to ensure humanityâs future.
This was the universeâs dark laws of the jungle. A true genius was better than 100 mediocre characters. A life or death battle between races was never decided by the number of people on the lowest rung, but by true experts.
The appearance of a top-notch cultivator who could suppress the universe was stronger than an entire army!
This was what the interstellar humans really needed.
Things mustnât be allowed to go on like this. They must gather everyoneâs powers to have a chance of winning!
The atmosphere of despair permeated the sky, but Feng Linâs mind started to move quickly. He was unwilling to accept defeat like this and kept trying to think of a plan.
He looked at the many faces that had turned numb from horror and frowned. If he wished to turn the tables around, heâd have to awaken these peopleâs will.
An idea popped up in Feng Linâs mind.
He used mental transmissions to communicate with them and a voice that came from the bottom of his heart instantly resonated in the hearts of all interstellar humans on all corners of the battlefield.
A shout that rose from what seemed to be dead silence was like the light from dawn that cut across the darkness, illuminating the path before them. It awakened hope, and everyone couldnât help but listen to it.
The voice was powerful and filled with unshakable determination. It was like a shout amidst raging waves, causing everyone to calm down.
âAll interstellar warriors, Great Wall Universityâs students, and comrades of mankind. Please listen to me! We canât and mustnât retreat! Before us is the Great Wall University, the first line of defense for mankind. Thereâs nowhere for us to back off to! This monster might be terrifying, but we must not let it get close to our Great Wall University. Once the Great Wall University collapsed, humanityâs line of defense will break down completely. If the spirit race were to invade into our universe, our comrades who are still very weak wonât be able to retaliate and would be massacred. We have our brothers, our friends, and our family there... These are precious things that we arenât willing to lose even if we have to sacrifice our lives. Every interstellar cultivator has risen up by using a tremendous amount of cultivating resources available to mankind. The greater our capabilities were, the stronger would our responsibilities be! Now is the time where our raceâs survival is being threatened, so itâs time for us to step forward in return to what the human race had given to us. Since ancient times, the Great Wall University has been protecting the Milky Way and protecting mankind. Iâd like to implore everyone to not feel afraid and to remember...â
âItâs my race, Iâll protect it!â
