Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 409 364: Escaping by a Hair’s Breadth

Antique weapons were mostly made of high-temperature resistant materials.

Levi had obtained the schematic diagrams of these weapons and had clearly understood their purposes.

With a grand gesture, he issued an order to the sole intern responsible for operating them.

Soon, Rapid Freeze Bullets were fired all around, forming a dense barrage of ice frost weapons, creating a low-temperature region in the abdominal area of Steel Eagle City.

After the temperature in the abdomen dropped, the restricted area of Steel Eagle City's steel-talon zone was also lifted.

Without its talons, it was impossible for Steel Eagle City to engage in close combat with Hell Nine-Headed City.

As Hell Nine-Headed City climbed up the Flame Cloud, one of its skulls, like a Fiery Flame Python, lunged forward, the Python Skull's mouth opening to release a terrifying burst of high-temperature flames, destroying the entire Crystal Energy Shield of Steel Eagle City.

"What are you waiting for, give it a claw!" Levi entered into the lower command channel and shouted.

The lower level commander then snapped to attention and immediately activated the talon system.

The steel talons, charged with Thunder Energy, struck the Fiery Flame Python's skull, and the surrounding area immediately burst into horrific Thunder Magnetic effects, creating an extremely powerful tearing effect.

Thunder Magnetic tearing hit the sturdy skull fortress, causing it to crack significantly, and the commanders on the skull fortress immediately issued a retraction command as they clearly panicked.

Like a spring device, the Fiery Flame Python's body contracted segment by segment, dodging the Steel Eagle's talons…

"Freeze them!"

Levi personally controlled the launch of an array of antique Rapid-Freeze Missiles from the tail of Steel Eagle City; a multitude of mechanical Rapid-Freeze Hummingbirds equipped with Emergency Freeze Self-Destruction Devices emerged, chasing down the hottest targets with their heat-seeking systems and headed for the Fiery Flame Python's neck.

Initially, a few dozen Rapid-Freeze Hummingbird Missiles self-destructed upon nearing the Fiery Flame Python due to intense flames, creating a large cloud of frost.

Yet, this cloud of frost effectively shielded the missiles behind it, which successfully passed through the fierce flames, exploding on the Python's body in the Hell Nine-Headed City, forming a vast glacier that covered their neck surfaces.

Every part of Hell Nine-Headed City was indestructible, comparable to the rock layers beneath the earth.

However, freezing power was irresistible; it quickly infiltrated all engines, gears, and mechanical axles of the entire city, rendering them unable to function normally.

The contraction failed, and their movements became incredibly stiff.

At that moment, the Steel Eagle's talons, carrying the tearing Thunder Magnetic, came again and managed to wrench a massive fortress skull from the neck of Nine-Headed City!

"Well done, Commander Levi!"

The talon zone immediately sent back combat feedback; they did not retreat when facing close attacks from Nine-Headed City but achieved an extreme counter-response!

Levi sat on a worn chair.

The entire command center of Steel Eagle City was interconnected; it was clear who had resolved the immediate crisis. The noble commanders in the upper temple district also felt a bit incredulous, managing to dismantle an enemy's Flame Skull using those antique weapons.

"Mr. Mayor, I suggest we immediately change our flight direction, delve under the Nine-Headed Evil Cauldron as much as possible; otherwise, we can't withstand the attacks of the remaining eight skulls!" Levi seized this opportunity and immediately proposed his tactical suggestion to the highest command.

In the luxurious chair of the highest command layer, Mayor Chi Luo never expected such a marginal character to instruct him on how to fight.

But even though he was the mayor, he did not have veto power. At the moment Levi made his proposal, all leaders and strategists approved Levi's tactical suggestion while marveling.

Steel City was still amidst a red fire cloud, and looking out into the sky along the tilted streets, one could see a towering fortress outside the city; this fortress was Hell Dragon Snake, staring down at the city's people as small as ants with its cold and terrifying eyes.

People in their Feather Towers looked through windows out into the vast sky, but that sky was now occupied by eight slowly rising peaks, whose shadows cast a fear-inspiring presence over the streets of Steel City, causing everyone's minds to halt, feeling as though they were plunging into the depths of an ice pool despite being in intense flames.

The city was surrounded by eight Hell Skulls!

Simultaneously attacking the city, even the agile Steel Eagle had only a fate of being strangled.

"Descend, move lower!"

"Hide under the cauldron!"

Commands were quickly relayed to the wings of the Steel Eagle.

The wings adjusted immediately, no longer aiming to rise higher, but instead suddenly plunged down!

The descent brought Steel Eagle City even closer to the Hell Furnace-like Evil Cauldron, whose interior swirled with magma red hot. Once the entire steel city fell into it, all materials would turn into fuel for the city—including the souls of the living, which could not escape.

The citizens could see the status of the battle; all had shared screens indoors.

When they realized hell was merely a stone's throw away, everyone's hanging hearts finally died.

At that moment, Steel Eagle City performed a side fly, skimming dangerously close to the Molten Pool and slipping through the robust bodies of Hell City.

Hell Nine-Headed City was clearly aiming to surround it from above, blocking any route for Steel Eagle City to escape higher. The eight horrific fang-filled skulls were already interwoven above, obscuring the sky.

But Steel Eagle City suddenly changed direction, sinking to the area around the Evil Cauldron and escaping from the encirclement by the eight skulls, which infuriated Wei Yan, the President Valve of Hell Nine-Headed City's command room.

"All of you who chase after personal glory, why didn't you anticipate this?" President Valve Wei Yan angrily blamed the other fortress commanders.

It was then too late for the other fortress commanders to redirect their movements to crush Steel Eagle City.

And when they quickly looked down, they found that Steel Eagle City had unexpectedly disappeared from their sight.

A whole city gone invisible?

The eight skulls twisted over the Evil Cauldron, looking at one another in disbelief.

Where had the enemy gone? They were right there a moment ago!

"Beneath the Evil Cauldron!" President Valve Wei Yan coldly stated.

Even without seeing, Wei Yan understood that Steel Eagle City had not vanished into thin air; it must have dived below the entirety of Nine-Headed City, right into the blind spot of all the heads.

"Use the metal imager!"

Since they couldn't see, they had to rely on detection equipment.

Indeed, on the device's screen, a metal outline of a city appeared below theirs, in the shape of an eagle.

"How shall we handle this, our heads are not flexible enough to stretch downward!"

Hell Nine-Headed City, mostly sprawled on the ground or moving through ravines, had its design leaning towards hunting and attacking upwards rather than drilling downward. After all, most of the time, their entire city was rooted underground, a safe zone below.

But this time, as they had ascended into the sky, their underside had become an open area, and the Steel Eagle City's commanders had audaciously tunneled beneath their Evil Cauldron City area, not only losing sight of them but also making it difficult to carry out the eight-directional skull encirclement.

"Ha, a petty trick. Flip the city!" Wei Yan issued a new attack command to overturn the entire city.

The Flame Silk was their climbing web; they moved through the flames with ease, and for the whole city to flip over was not difficult—all it needed was the eight trunks to grab onto the Fire Energy nets like arms and then pull the entire Evil Cauldron beneath them.

Hell Nine-Headed City, massive in the Fire Cloud, twisted its body, the bottom of the Evil Cauldron facing the sky as if rooting into Heaven, while the snake-like trunks and skulls naturally hung down, forming an encircling tactic again like the claws of eight spiders, grabbing at Steel Eagle City.

Steel Eagle City appeared to have been prepared, all the Wing Area Feather Towers completely closed up, aligning vertically with the earth.

The Tail Feather Zone also played a key role at this moment, using the Hurricane Engine, driving the entire Steel Eagle City headfirst into the earth, plunging into the canyon terrains!

The fiery heaven and earth canyon walls also dispersed, the ravine glowing red, the sky maintaining a fiery evil red. Steel Eagle City, supposed to be in the Cloud Sky, was now rushing through the canyon terrain; meanwhile, Hell Nine-Headed City, supposed to dominate the ravine, was in the Cloud Sky, again losing their target, but lacking the structures to support their prolonged flight in the sky, they hurriedly clawed down along the remaining Fire Energy!

"Boom!!!!"

Hell Nine-Headed City fell back into the ravine, their ascent and descent consuming immense energy, failing to capture Steel Eagle City, overheating their entire city to incandescence.

At that moment, Steel Eagle City had flown to the other end of the canyon. As the barrier of Fire Energy weakened, they finally broke through this terrible predicament, soaring into their clear blue sky.

In the clear blue sky, the eagle seemed to have survived a great ordeal, stretching all its Qi towards the distance.

From the ravine, Hell Nine-Headed City's remaining eight heads emerged, angry as erupting volcanoes, releasing the accumulated waste gas and materials from the battle. The nearby forests and mountains were instantly devoured, turning into a Flame Desert; even the earth cracked open, forming more rift-like canyons!

Steel Eagle City, those in the lower working district towns, witnessed this extremely terrifying scene, hardly daring to imagine what their fate would be if they were defeated—it would be no different from being thrown into Purgatory.

Similarly, in the antique weapons warehouse, Wu Hen was also struck speechless by such a scene.

Hell Nine-Headed City was undoubtedly a more terrifying entity than a High-dimensional Black Unihorn.

Previously, when others mentioned the brilliance and danger of Cang Chu Divine Realm, Wu Hen had no clear concept, but now, having personally experienced it, he marveled at the vastness of the universe, imagining that in the entire Da Xuan Dynasty, there must be more than these two living fortress cities.

And the Da Xuan Dynasty was just one of the powerful branches of the Human Clan within the mighty Cang Chu Divine Realm, apart from other empires dominating otherworldly spaces, bizarre demon nations, and Immortal Holy Countries…
