I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 294: Integrated Air and Space Operations, Dimensional Strikes

"What... what is this?!"

The erupting volcano, the crumbling earth, and the endless dust obscuring the sky, everything in front of Xinxuan was beyond belief.

She couldn't believe that all of this was done by the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Even more unbelievable was that all of this was accomplished by a "Gold Core cultivator" in a very short period of time.

However, no matter how unwilling she was to believe it, everything in front of her was real.

As a result, Xinxuan's arrogance disappeared, and for the first time, she considered the cooperative relationship between the tribe and the cultivators.

"If cultivators are this powerful, perhaps they can really resist the invasion of the Evil God. In that case, the cooperative relationship between the tribe and the cultivators..."

"Sigh... forget it, I shouldn't worry about this. I'll just report the situation here to the tribe."

Silenced by the shock, Xinxuan chose to transmit the news back to the tribe.

On the other hand, Zhong Cang paid no attention to their thoughts.

"It is better to pursue the remaining enemies than to seek fame and become a scholar king!"

Zhong Cang understood the principle of eliminating evil and uprooting it.

Taking advantage of the fact that a large number of remnants of the Longevity Faction were wiped out in an instant, he immediately issued an eradication order to the cultivators and independent cultivators in the Floating Sky City, instructing them to disperse and eliminate all remnants of the Longevity Faction in the Azure Ash World.

After giving the order for everyone to disperse from the Floating Sky City, the vast Floating Sky City did not charge forward to attack the enemy, but instead continued to rise higher and higher, like a roc soaring with the wind, soaring straight up ninety thousand miles.

This time, Zhong Cang had the Floating Sky City continue to rise, entering the layer of astral winds.

The so-called astral winds were a phenomenon in the world of spiritual energy.

Under the influence of spiritual energy, the sky of each Great World had a layer of astral winds to resist external dangers and prevent the overflow of spiritual energy.

The layer of astral winds was filled with endless violent storms.

For ordinary cultivators, the astral winds were like a bone-cutting knife. To enter this place, they would need to expend their spiritual energy to resist the endless onslaught of the astral winds.

Human power has its limits, while the power of heaven and earth is boundless.

No matter how strong one's spiritual energy was, it was difficult to withstand the continuous impact of the astral winds. Therefore, no one was willing to rashly enter the layer of astral winds.

But for Zhong Cang, this was not a problem.

As a Grandmaster at the Fifth Realm, his Heavenly Heart commanded the power of heaven and earth, making him a small county magistrate under the direct jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. This allowed him to use the infinite power between heaven and earth.

And the astral winds were obviously a manifestation of the power of heaven and earth.

This allowed Zhong Cang to use the astral winds to support the Floating Sky City or use them as ocean currents, using the power of the wind to drive the movement of the Floating Sky City.

Not only did this save energy, but because of the incredible speed of the astral winds, it was a trivial matter for the Floating Sky City to move from one place to another. This greatly enhanced the mobility of the Floating Sky City, the Qian Heaven.

The mobility of the Transcendent also gave the Floating Sky City, Qian Tian, the power to suppress an entire realm.

Just like now.

Under Zhong Cang's command, nearly ten thousand sect disciples, along with over sixty thousand independent cultivators, dispersed into hundreds of teams, with small teams at the center, and began to slaughter the remaining remnants of the Longevity Faction.

Before they came into contact with the remnants, Zhong Cang, who was roaming in the layer of astral winds, used the power of the Qian Heaven Mirror to survey the land.

Under his observation, Zhong Cang discovered that not all the remnants in the Azure Ash World were charging towards him.

Some of the remnants were killing the creatures in the Azure Ash World.

And some of the remnants had obtained energy and started to build nests for breakthroughs.

- Integrated Union breakthroughs were not the normal way for the remnants to advance. By using this method to break through, the advanced remnants had no consciousness and no potential for further advancement.

This was also the reason why Zhong Cang could easily kill them.

The remnants that advanced normally, although their consciousness was also insane, had cunning intelligence. The latter was the main force of the remnants.

Previously, these main forces of the remnants did not respond to the call and instead stayed in their nests, digesting their gains and rapidly advancing.

And then, their catastrophe came.

Faced with the slaughter of a whole world, Zhong Cang had no mercy in his heart. His thought was - only the offspring of death are good offspring.

With this thought in mind, when Zhong Cang saw the gathering of the immortal offspring and the high position of Zhong Cang in the sky, he commanded the formation spirit Xiao Qiong to drop a celestial nail from the sky.

This time, the celestial nail dropped by Zhong Cang did not have a dazzling brilliance at first.

As a modern person, Zhong Cang naturally understood that attacks from a far distance could be intercepted.

In response to this, the humans in the previous era had two methods: giving missiles the ability to change direction and dispersing the missiles.

There was also one method, which was to give the missiles the ability to "conceal" themselves.

Various instruments and coatings that could evade radar detection had always been the focus of military research in the previous era.

In the Hongxuan Continent, Zhong Cang naturally thought of this point and had the talisman grandmasters and qi refining grandmasters create a batch of silent celestial nails.

Considering that powerful cultivators could have sudden inspirations and be able to calculate, Zhong Cang also planned to have them inscribe some runes that could block cause and effect.

In the end, it was discovered that there were runes that could block cause and effect, but the difficulty of inscribing them was too high.

Fortunately, having a large number of people was an advantage.

While the runes were not feasible, the Refining Sect found a method. They used a special material to forge spears that could block the whims of Gold Core experts based on the characteristics of the material itself.

The only flaw was that this material was expensive and consumed a large amount of spiritual stones.

However, as Zhong Cang now occupied the lower realm and could rely on the Heavenly Heart to drain, he was now earning a lot of money and lacked nothing except spiritual stones.

At this moment, he could truly say,

"Spiritual stones mean nothing to me. Any problem that can be solved with spiritual stones is not a problem!"

With this confidence, Zhong Cang created a total of eight hundred rune spears.

There were over three hundred silent ones.

At this moment, these pitch-black spears, after being launched by the electromagnetic coil, turned into electric light and flew towards the ground.

In the middle of their flight, the runes activated, causing the sound, light, color, and shadow of these spears to disappear without a trace.

In this way, the silent "celestial nails" arrived at the gathering place of the immortal remnants.

Before they exploded on the monsters, there would be a "boom" sound, and the celestial nails would suddenly change from dark to bright. Their size would also increase a hundredfold.

"Boom!"

Then, this terrifying pillar would forcefully nail itself into the ground like a meteor, carrying tremendous kinetic and potential energy.

Such an attack would make the earth rumble and the air vibrate.

The intense explosion would also create upheaval in the original location.

When everything settled, the place where the celestial nail fell would be turned into ruins and hollows.

The immortal remnants hit by it would naturally be annihilated.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The Floating Sky City, Qian Tian, continued to patrol in the astral wind layer, and the Mirror of Qian Tian continuously scanned the earth.

Whenever there was a gathering of immortal remnants, a celestial nail would fall.

In this way, within a short period of time, three hundred celestial nails were "nailed" into the ground by Zhong Cang, making the situation of the immortal remnants even more miserable.

Of course, such attacks could not completely exterminate the immortal remnants.

There would always be some lucky ones who could survive.

Zhong Cang didn't care about this.

If there were too many survivors, he would throw down another celestial nail. If that wasn't enough, he would throw down another one.

Anyway, he has made many spears, and the materials of those spears are extremely sturdy. They can be retrieved and reused multiple times, two times, three times, even a thousand or a hundred times, without significant overall consumption.

This convenient and fast attack can completely break up the formation of the Immortal Remnants.

...

After completely dispersing, although the Immortal Remnants are not worth Zhong Cang's continued use of the Heavenly Nails, they still exist.

In this situation, cultivators flying down from the Floating Sky City can play a role.

A team of ten or even a hundred people gives them an absolute advantage when facing scattered Immortal Remnants.

Without Zhong Cang's guidance, they can kill the scattered Immortal Remnants that are scattered everywhere.

And once the Immortal Remnants want to gather their own forces to besiege the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators, when they gather, there will be Heavenly Nails silently falling from the sky.

Then, with a loud bang and a violent explosion, those Immortal Remnants who want to counterattack will be completely reduced to ashes under the strike of the Heavenly Pillar.

Such aerial strikes make the Immortal Remnants suffer greatly.

Gathering together is seeking death. The continuous strikes from the Heavenly Nails from the high sky will destroy them, as well as the land and mountains near them.

As for dispersing, it is a slow death.

The strength of the cultivators is not weak, especially when they have the numerical advantage, they can completely crush these Immortal Remnants.

This combined aerial and ground attack method makes the Immortal Remnants unable to advance or retreat, only to be beaten.

However, the Immortal Remnants are desperate, and the foreign people are silent.

The cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect are ecstatic.

As Zhong Cang's old teammates, Yue Qianqian, Zhou Cang, Yan Ying, and others also participated in this battle and led a team to besiege the Immortal Remnants.

During the siege, watching the Heavenly Nails falling from time to time, Zhou Cang couldn't help but sigh.

"Before the battle, there is an aerial strike to completely destroy the enemy's main force and scatter their formation... When have we fought such a rich battle!"

This remark also made Yan Ying and Yue Qianqian feel emotional.

The three of them have fought in the mortal world for many years, so they understand the horror of war.

In previous wars, every time they fought, they did so with the determination to die.

After all, the opponents were not weak (the Demon Sect). Zhou Cang, Yan Ying, and others never knew whether the number of cultivators they were facing was greater or fewer than their own.

And during the battle, the enemy would also use curses, assassinations, ambushes, and other methods to weaken their own strength.

Even without these, if the enemy's strength was equal to their own, a real battle would still be a fight to the death.

After each battle, countless comrades-in-arms died.

They themselves have also been injured many times.

The deaths of these comrades, fellow sect members, and even relatives would make them sad and sorrowful, eventually becoming accustomed and numb.

At the same time, they would use a sentence to numb themselves.

—In war, there are always casualties.

This is their understanding of war, and they have become accustomed to the deaths of family members and even themselves in war.

Zhong Cang's arrival completely shattered their beliefs and the battlefield worldview that had just formed.

Previously, when he entered the mortal world alone, he covered the sky with one hand and suppressed countless demonic geniuses, making the cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect realize that as long as they were strong enough, they could single-handedly reverse the situation without having to watch their fellow disciples die helplessly.

This time, the Floating Sky City made them realize, with complex emotions, that war is actually easy and simple.

Are there casualties in war?

Under Zhong Cang's command, with the Floating Sky City, there is no need for death.

Even they don't need to fight fiercely.

When they spot the enemy, they first bombard them with Heavenly Nails. When the enemy's formation is completely destroyed and scattered, when will these cultivators take action?

And Zhong Cang still has the Floating Sky City, providing them with support far beyond the bombing before the war.

Before the war, each team leader would receive two to several jade tokens, which can be used to contact the Array Spirit Xiaoqiong in the high sky.

- This step is actually quite simple. The Hongxuan Continent has long had the technology of long-distance sound transmission.

In addition to communication, the Array Spirit Xiaoqiong can also locate the position of the cultivators through the jade tokens.

They can communicate, locate, and have precise long-range attack capabilities. If you think about it, you can guess what will happen next.

Yes, under Zhong Cang's orders, each team has already received their commands.

If the encountered enemy is weak, there's no need to say anything, just crush them directly.

If they are slightly weaker than themselves, they cannot approach directly and must contact other teammates for support through the Array Spirit.

And if they encounter a strong enemy, they can request support from the Electromagnetic Railgun - God's Staff while contacting their teammates.

First, bombard them... several times, and constantly disrupt the enemy's gathering.

It can also serve as an information center to coordinate the cultivator teams.

Finally, if they encounter a powerful enemy, they can call for support at any time.

Under the protection of the Floating Sky City, Zhou Cang, Yan Ying, and Yue Qianqian, these "veteran" cultivators who have been fighting for years, feel that what they are currently engaged in is not a war at all, and it can't even be called an extermination of bandits, it can only be considered a field trip.

"So easy... if we are a little more careful, not greedy for attacks, and not reckless, maybe none of us will die?"

"A war where no one dies? Is that really possible?"

The war views of the three have been severely impacted.

And along with them, the foreigners have also become numb.

The overwhelming defeat of the remnants of the Longevity Clan has already shaken their worldview.

When they discovered that it was possible for no one to die in a war, these people didn't even know what to say.

The spirits of some people even became confused as a result.

"We must build more Floating Sky Cities!"

Thinking up to this point, Zhong Cang's eyes brighten again:

After all, he is a modern person who has already witnessed several instances of dimensional reduction strikes.

"More steam-reinforced steel, towers above all! Billions of towers, billions of glory!"

"By the way, after witnessing the power of the Floating Sky City, the sect should agree to let me use the Spirit Communication Jade Stone to open a virtual second world, right?"

But as the orchestrator of everything, Zhong Cang feels... it's not bad.

"What are you thinking? If they were easy to deal with, how could we be in such a miserable state... We can't possibly be weak!"

And this has also strengthened Zhong Cang's determination to develop and balance science and cultivation in the future.

When the long spear artillery fought against the armored knights, it could already produce such terrifying damage.

The worldviews of the cultivators below have suffered a great shock.

(End of this chapter)

"As long as there are enough Floating Sky Cities, I can rely solely on firepower to bomb the enemy to death!"

This battle can be said to have awakened the world and even changed the form of warfare within the world.

...

"It's fake, it's all fake. How could the remnants of the Longevity Clan be so easily defeated? We have all fallen into the illusion of the Illusory Sovereign. Yes, it must be like this, it's an illusion!"

In the Gulf War initiated by a certain major country, they also achieved dimensional reduction strikes through technology and information. In that battle, the enemy's million-strong army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, while that country only suffered a little over a hundred casualties.

Now, with the Floating Sky City and space-based weapons, Zhong Cang has the advantage over the remnants of the Longevity Clan. It's not surprising that he can crush the battle.

"Could it be that the remnants of the Longevity Clan are actually easy to deal with?"
