The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 1269 - 1270: What Is That

Lin Qian gazed ahead, his eyes blazing with confidence in his expression.

Back then, during the battle in the Southern Domain of the Soul Martial Star, the enemy used a similar array with rebound effects, trying to counter his soul cannon.

But the outcome was quite tragic; the enemy never expected that the soul cannon from Lin Qian of the Huaxia Empire could even bend its attack.

However, the defensive power of this massive Cloud Boat Fleet is far stronger than those small factions in the Southern Domain.

The defensive barrier formed by the array was an impenetrable whole, making tactics like bending the attack direction of the soul cannon clearly unusable.

But this issue posed no challenge to Lin Qian.

Previously, Lin Qian's realm wasn't sufficient, limiting the level of the soul cannon he could wield.

Now it's completely different; staring at the Cloud Boat Fleet ahead, Lin Qian ordered.

"Attack!"

With the order from Lin Qian, the warships surrounding the enemy's main star flashed with dazzling brilliance from their soul cannons, not in colorful hues, but in a pure golden brilliance, exuding a sharp intent.

It seemed as though not soul energy beams, but rather blades and sharp knives, were about to launch in an assault.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanied by deafening roars, the warships shook, as the propulsion units at their tails spewed soul energy-fueled flames, counteracting the recoil of the soul cannon's bombardment.

Ahead, the soul energy beams emanating from the warship-mounted soul cannons targeted several nodes of the opposing array for impact.

Meanwhile, the soul cannons on either side of the warship also launched, transforming into thousands of beams, like scattered stars.

But these soul cannon attacks did not head towards the enemy's defensive barrier; instead, they directly entered the soul energy assault launched from the warship-mounted soul cannon.

After receiving the attacks from these soul cannon beams, the assault from the warship-mounted soul cannon didn't weaken or become erratic—it continued to grow stronger and more concentrated.

It transformed from coarse to fine, gathering and focusing ever more tightly, the golden luster converging, yet with a wave of terrifying power that couldn't be looked at directly.

On the warship, the Clan Leaders of the Four Clans fixated on the soul cannon bombardment, their expressions shifting.

Compared to viewing via the Soul Vision Machine, witnessing it in person was even more shocking.

The four exchanged glances, their scalps tingling, knowing that if they were hit by such an assault at close range, it wouldn't be life-threatening, but definitely grievous.

Just one strike could inflict immense damage on Soul Martial Artists in the Entering Dao Realm, posing such a threat.

The Huaxia Empire's Void Warships were numerous beyond count; in all of the Nine Heavens, is there any faction that could be a match for the Huaxia Empire?

Yet they hadn't forgotten the true purpose of this mission.

They fixed their gaze straight ahead, hoping nothing unexpected would happen in the forthcoming scene. They could also discern that the opposing array was no ordinary one.

"Rebound, it's actually..." After staring ahead for a long while, Huan Junli, a master of array arts, suddenly discovered the rebound effect of the opponent's barrier array, and his heart was shocked.

Simultaneously, he quickly turned his head to look at Lin Qian, warning in a loud voice.

In response to Huan Junli's warning, Lin Qian remained unfazed, waving his hand calmly: "No need to worry, just watch."

Since Lin Qian spoke as such, what could Huan Junli do? He could only suppress his inner anxiety, continuing to watch ahead.

Yet his Xin Sect was indescribably uneasy, deeply fearing any unforeseen incident might arise.

An array with a rebound effect has miraculous results against attacks composed purely of soul energy.

Such a defensive array was headache-inducing; while a Soul Martial Artist's assault cannot rebound the physical force contained when delivering the strike, the soul energy in their attack could indeed be rebounded.

Moreover, now Lin Qian's side's soul cannon attack is entirely concentrated soul energy, so the defensive barrier array has unexpected effects against the Huaxia Empire's soul cannons.

Across the way, on the Void Cloud Boat, Yang Huanwen saw that the Huaxia Empire was indeed launching an assault, and a gleeful smile appeared on his face.

"Foolish, just wait to reap the bitter fruit." Looking at the golden soul energy beams approaching from the void opposite, Yang Huanwen's face showed not a trace of panic, instead radiating intense satisfaction.

The array with a rebound effect has a significant flaw; it can be easily discerned by those knowledgeable in array arts.

Initially, he even thought the opposite side might realize the rebound effect on their defensive barrier and be deterred from attacking.

Who could have imagined the opposite side would be so overconfident and persist in their assault without hesitation?

Beside him, Yang Huanguang also showed a satisfied smile, feeling that the battle had already prematurely concluded.

"It seems we've been too merciful to these Four Clans; it's time to show them who truly controls this starlit domain." Saying this, Yang Huanwen spoke with a chilling expression, his tone laced with murderous intent.

At this moment, the soul cannon attack from the Huaxia Empire had arrived as expected, slamming hard into their soul energy barrier.

But the barrier's reaction caused everyone's expressions to change, revealing something amiss.

On the barrier's surface, after being hit by the soul cannon, it didn't rebound directly as they expected.

Upon closer examination, with four eyes fixated, Yang Huanwen's face drastically transformed.

He distinctly saw that on the barrier, the soul energy beam confronting it bore a spiraled tip, spinning furiously in attack.

Some soul energy was indeed rebounded, but instead of aiming at the enemy's warship, it spread out in all directions, accompanied by the rotational force of the attack.

Clink!

Suddenly, a crisp sound arose as a massive metal drill emerged from the soul energy beam, piercing directly through the array barrier.

Crack!

A shattering crisp sound echoed as the drill plunged fiercely into the enemy fleet.

The heavy metal drill, imbued with explosive force, drove into the enemy's formation, destroying countless Cloud Boats.

The Soul Martial Artists upon them, unable to contend, were crushed into fragments, blood splattering, leaving a gruesome sight.

Each attack achieved such magnificent results.

In an instant, the defense array of the Void Cloud Boat Fleet on the Four-Eyed Spirit Clan's side saw all its nodes breached.

Boom!

Like glass shattering, the enemy's array barrier broke completely, like a shattered Glazed Vase, disintegrating into soul energy shards, drifting in the dark void.

On the Cloud Boat, Yang Huanwen stared dumbfoundedly at the glowing embers from the shattered array, frozen in place.

On the other side, on the warship, Huan Junli, with his illusionary body of the Illusion Clan, was so shocked, he nearly vanished.

"Your Majesty, what is that?" Unable to contain his shock, Huan Junli exclaimed.
