Chapter 1963 - 639: Reincarnation
At the same time, in the newly born ’Beiluo Shimen’.
Although the star condensed by Martial Fierce Heavenly King Ming Qianqiu is not yet complete, its starlight already illuminates all directions, even the entire battlefield around Beiluo Shimen.
You can see hundreds of thousands of various warships densely distributed across the starry sky.
On the ships, there are forests of spears and trees of blades, as well as thousands of giant spirit soldiers in helmets and armor.
They are surrounding ’Beiluo Shimen’, and the two nearby stars ’Heavenly Justice’ and ’Heavenly Skill’, within a mere two hundred miles, as well as battling around the three starry iron cities that are less than fifteen miles long and wide.
Thousands upon thousands of giant spirit warriors are firing large crossbows to bombard the iron cities; some are approaching from various angles, following the breaches made by the large crossbows to enter the cities and destroy the stars being condensed inside.
Thirteen million years ago, after the eternal giant gods were driven and deceived by the Ninth Generation Heavenly Emperor into the Outer Domain Starry Sky, they still reproduced abundantly.
Those in dire circumstances without the means to nurture offspring either sought ways to send their progeny into the Mortal World or abandoned them in the Three Thousand Minor Worlds of the Demon Domain, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Among the Star Gods with better conditions, they would nurture some bloodline kin within their stars to serve as their Divine Army War Generals.
Only the most talented bloodline kin are allowed to live upon the stars after birth by the Gods.
Correspondingly, among the giant spirits from the Mortal World, only the strongest could enter the Star Realm and join their ancestor Star God’s Divine Army, becoming war generals and acquiring further cultivation resources.
Thus, the twelve thousand warships gathered here, with five hundred seventy thousand Divine Army divine generals, possess extremely formidable combat powers!
Every one of them has at least a Third Grade innate divine body level.
Both their overall combat power and individual strength far exceed Ming Qianqiu’s twenty-one thousand ’Divine Martial Armor’.
The ’Divine Martial Armor’ under Ming Qianqiu’s command were born over seven thousand years ago.
In their heyday, numbering thirty-two thousand, they followed the Martial Fierce Heavenly King, being invincible on the battlefield, slaying over ten million giant spirits, halving the population of the invading Night Wolf Tribe and giant spirits from various factions.
In the final battle, the remaining ’Divine Martial Armor’, alongside the Martial Fierce Heavenly King, refined themselves into Geng Metal Battle Bodies, achieving a final glorious victory.
Though the ’Divine Martial Dynasty’ founded by Ming Qianqiu perished as a result, the giant spirits invading from the south suffered such heavy casualties that they had to retreat north of the Iron Wall Mountain Range to lick their wounds and recuperate.
These ’Divine Martial Armor’ in their lifetimes generally possessed Fifth Grade Upper-level cultivation.
After transforming into Geng Metal Battle Bodies and experiencing a long sleep lasting seven thousand two hundred years, they naturally absorbed a large amount of Geng Metal Spirit and murderous aura into their bodies, currently possessing Fourth Grade Upper Rank physical qualities and strength.
The particularly outstanding ones even reach the Third Grade cultivation level.
This army placed in the Mortal World could overlook the world, sweeping across all directions.
But it cannot compare to these Divine Army in the starry sky, being too few in number and lacking scale.
Theoretically, the five million Divine Army here could easily crush and annihilate these ’Divine Martial Armor’.
Surprisingly to all Star Gods, these twenty-one thousand ’Divine Martial Armor’ stood firm like iron walnuts against their siege.
They defended near three newly condensed stars, relying on the three starry iron cities completely condensed by magic, each less than fifteen miles in length and width, turning the surrounding three hundred miles of Star Domain into a grinder, causing tens of thousands of Divine Army to perish and fall here.
So much so that the gods were left helpless.
They gathered in groups of three to five behind the military formation, engaging in heated discussions.
"Where did this army come from? Such formidable strength? The Human Clan actually possesses such a force?"
"It seems to be called Ming Qianqiu, and another what Emperor Zhongyi Changsheng, nearly rivaling Ziyu back in the day!"
"That’s because you’re uninformed, but remember seven thousand two hundred years ago, when the Ziwei Star Monarch summoned twenty-seven gods to descend to the Lower Realm? The Emperor’s goal was to bring down a divine tribulation to eliminate this person. Out of the total number, twenty-seven, twenty-six died in battle. Only one, Shen Huchang, survived, and was later sealed into the Ten Thousand Demon Cave."
"This person actually became a Divine Power Saint, did you see the complexion of the Lord of Heavenly Power? It’s been pale all along. That mortal actually took his saint title away. The Lord of Heavenly Power, also known as the Lord of Divine Power, if unable to capture those iron men on the opposite side this time, might have to have his title changed to someone else."
"Shame! Shame! Five hundred seventy thousand troops besieged, over ten thousand casualties, yet the outer layer wasn’t even breached. The casualties on the opposite side weren’t even less than thirty thousand."
Meanwhile, the commander of the five hundred seventy thousand troops, Lord Tianji, stood with his hands behind his back on a starship, looking at the three star city fortresses ahead with complex emotions: "It’s truly embarrassing!"
These aren’t really strong fortifications, nor made with particularly durable materials.
Only ’Four Poisonless Knights’ and his subordinate sorcerers spent over an hour using magic to create these temporary works.
Yet just these three hastily built star city fortresses held off their Divine Army for a full twenty-four hours.
Later, they underwent some enhancements, as Demon God Zangtian dispatched a force of twenty thousand skilled soldiers and a group of sorcerers from the Demon Domain, bringing a plethora of gold stone materials for reinforcement, rendering these three star fortresses even more solid.
