74: Chapter 74 Blood Moon Remains, Bulldozer Mode
Wang Pingan didn't bother with pleasantries.
"The next step is an invasion of a real alien Divine Kingdom. The enemy will kill, Divine Cores will shatter, and there are no second chances."
A sharp light flashed in Wang Shan's eyes.
"Divine Lord, can we finally fight for real?"
Wang Mu didn't respond to that, asking only about the crucial details.
"The scale of the enemy is unknown, their laws are unknown. Should we prioritize stabilizing the formation and advancing?"
Wang Pingan nodded.
"There is only one thing you need to do—push the Xuanjia Zhenyue Formation and the Xinghuo Liancheng Formation to their limits, then completely integrate them into the Xianwu Meat Grinder Array."
As he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the remaining Source Power poured down like a rain of resources.
Spirit-Returning Potions, Blood-Boiling Pills, spirit stones, artillery shell materials, and heavy armor repair parts flooded the military warehouse.
Subsequently, the Master of Time was activated.
One day in the outside world, three years in the Divine Kingdom.
But he didn't just wait for one day.
A total of five days in the outside world.
Fifteen years inside the Divine Kingdom.
In the first year, Wang Mu broke up and reorganized the Artillery Battalion, the Sword Qi Battalion, and all formation nodes of the Xinghuo Liancheng Formation.
In the second year, the fifty Psionic Heavy Cannons successfully established a unified firepower chain, reducing the error margin of volleys to an extremely low level.
In the third year, Wang Shan led five hundred Blood-Condensing Heavy Infantry to master the hundred-man shield wall of the Xuanjia Zhenyue Formation, doubling the load-bearing capacity of the front row.
In the fifth year, the two formations conducted their first joint drill. The firepower chain advanced too aggressively, nearly disrupting the shield wall's formation eyes; Wang Mu immediately scrapped the original plan, and Wang Shan didn't insist, so both of them led the officer corps to rearrange the rhythm.
In the eighth year, the Xuanjia Zhenyue Formation expanded to cover all five hundred Blood-Condensing Heavy Infantry, and the dark gold blood-energy shield wall could stably endure an entire battle.
In the tenth year, the Xinghuo Liancheng Formation completed the dual-line linkage between the Artillery Battalion and the five hundred Sword Qi Battalion, with the firepower suppression range covering the entire northern training ground.
In the twelfth year, the Xianwu Meat Grinder Array completed its nesting—the front row holding the mountain, the rear row firing in succession, the middle section grinding and killing, and the Heavy Cavalry on both flanks charging.
In the fifteenth year, the final grand drill.
Two thousand elites, having switched to D-grade equipment, lined up simultaneously. A dark gold shield wall stood across the front, a silver-white firepower chain extended from behind the shield wall, and a blood-colored malevolent tiger crouched above the army formation, with the army spirit nearly solidifying.
Wang Shan stood at the very front, channeling Blood Condensation Qi into the shield wall. The Martial Heavy Armor legion took a unified step, and the ground beneath their feet collapsed by an inch.
Wang Mu raised a flag in the rear. Fifty heavy cannons and the five hundred Sword Qi Battalion shone simultaneously, and the firepower chain connected into a covering kill-net.
Wang Pingan looked down at the army formation, his last shred of worry dissipating.
A Demigod Legion, it was done.
On the morning of the sixth day in the outside world, he walked out of the secret room and headed alone to the alien battlefield transmission area of Galaxy Deity University.
Thousands of freshmen had gathered in the transmission hall, each possessing a not-weak aura. Many were followed by temporary teammates, repeatedly confirming the details of profit distribution.
Wang Pingan arrived at the registration counter and presented his information.
A few freshmen from the Central Star Region nearby immediately turned to look.
Someone sneered.
"The Seventeen Stars champion? The one from that remote star region?"
A blond youth beside him glanced at Wang Pingan.
"A champion from a backwater star region dares to invade an alien Divine Kingdom alone? Don't let your Divine Core shatter on the first day."
Someone on the side chimed in.
"A demigod going solo right after enrollment—he's got guts, though it's hard to say if he has the brains."
They laughed quite naturally.
The reason was simple—freshmen from the Central Star Region had the backing of major clans, intelligence, and mature tactical teams. They looked down on champions from remote star regions in their bones and were unwilling to admit that someone from the Seventeen Stars could surpass them.
Wang Pingan didn't glance at them from start to finish.
He opened the system interface and selected his target.
Alien Demigod Divine Kingdom—Blood Moon Wreckage.
Coordinates locked.
Invasion application confirmed.
The transmission array lit up with white light, swallowing him.
Before the sneers behind him could fade from their lips, his figure had already disappeared from the transmission area.
As the white light dissipated, it was no longer the transmission hall of Xinghe University beneath his feet.
A shattered, dark red land spread out before him. The surface was covered in dense cracks, and blood-colored mist surged from the fissures. In the distance, mountains of bones stood tall, and a dilapidated altar leaned on the edge of the dark red skyline.
A bleeding crescent moon hung in the sky, its moonlight falling upon the ground, and the entire Divine Kingdom was permeated with a tyrannical aura.
The pungent smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.
It wasn't a simulation.
This was a real alien Divine Kingdom that had piled up countless corpses; the bloodshed had sunk into the foundation of its laws.
Wang Pingan stood before the temporary Divine Kingdom passage, his Demigod Divine Fire slowly circulating, neutralizing the pressure of the Blood Moon laws layer by layer.
The system notification popped up.
[You have entered the alien demigod Divine Kingdom: Blood Moon Wreckage.]
[Enemy race: Blood Moon Bone Spider Clan.]
[Victory condition: Destroy the enemy's Divine Core and annex the Divine Kingdom's origin.]
[Failure condition: Your own Divine Core is shattered, or the Divine Lord dies.]
[Warning: This is a real battlefield; fallen subjects cannot be revived.]
Wang Pingan's gaze swept over the last line and fell into the distance.
The laws of the Blood Moon Wreckage were extremely violent; every inch of land was repelling foreign auras. As soon as the Divine Kingdom passage opened, blood-colored mist began to erode inward along the edges of the passage.
If it were an ordinary demigod freshman, the first thing they would do upon landing would be to use Source Power to stabilize the passage.
Wang Pingan's Divine Core didn't waver in the slightest.
Demigod Divine Fire, A-grade Great Spirit Vein, dual-stele inheritance, the feedback from three thousand main forces—his foundation was too thick for this bit of erosion to shake.
He didn't rush to deploy his entire legion.
On a real battlefield, one must first observe the enemy's reaction.
In less than three breaths, the cracks beneath his feet suddenly exploded.
Over a hundred giant bone spiders darted out from the blood mist. They were the size of calves, with curved bone spurs on their backs, and eight spider legs tipped with sharp bone blades. They skimmed across the ground and pounced on the Divine Kingdom passage in the blink of an eye.
System markers emerged.
[Bloodthirsty Bone Spider, Foundation Establishment-grade alien subject.]
[Characteristics: High-speed assault, bone blade armor-piercing, Blood Moon frenzy.]
Over a hundred Foundation Establishment-grade bone spiders, just a landing probe.
Wang Pingan's expression was calm as he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The Divine Kingdom passage opened with a boom.
Five hundred Blood-Condensing Martial Heavy Armor stepped out.
Wang Shan walked in the lead, wrapped in D-grade heavy armor, with a heavy shield in his left hand and the crimson flame saber in his right, his Blood Condensation Qi flowing along the surface of his body. Upon landing, he looked up to see the spider swarm rushing toward him, his face filled with battle intent.
"Brothers, this is the Divine Lord's first battle, don't embarrass us!"
Five hundred Martial Heavy Armor soldiers marched in unison.
Xuanjia Zhenyue Formation, rise.
Dark gold blood energy erupted from within each Blood-Condensing warrior; thirty-six main nodes lit up simultaneously, and one hundred and eight auxiliary nodes connected in sequence.
Five hundred black iron heavy shields merged forward—a dark gold blood-energy shield wall rose from the ground, blocking the path in front of the Divine Kingdom passage.
The first batch of Bloodthirsty Bone Spiders slammed into it.
The bone blades hacked frantically, and sparks exploded densely against the shield surface.
The shield wall didn't move an inch.
There wasn't even a crack.
Wang Shan stood at the formation eye, taking half a step back, as the blood energy from the four hundred-plus Martial Heavy Armor soldiers in the rear poured through the formation lines.
That half-step stabilized.
Wang Shan grinned.
"Is that all? Are you scratching an itch for me?"
Before he finished speaking, the second batch of bone spiders had already circled from the flanks, attempting to use their speed to tear open the edge of the shield wall.
Wang Mu's voice came from behind the Divine Kingdom passage.
"Left flank thirty zhang, right flank forty-two zhang, seal them."
Five hundred Immortal Martial elites stepped out of the passage, and fifty Psionic Heavy Cannons were set up behind them.
Xinghuo Liancheng Formation, rise.
Silver-white formation patterns lit up between the Artillery Battalion, the Sword Qi Battalion, and the formation nodes. Fifty cannon muzzles glowed with spiritual light, and five hundred Sword Qi Battalion subjects drew their blades, pouring Foundation Establishment spiritual power into the formation links.
Wang Mu stood on the rear platform, and the flag in his hand dropped.
"Fire."
Fifty Psionic Heavy Cannons roared in unison.
The artillery fire followed the Xinghuo Liancheng Formation, forming segmented firepower—first bombarding the dense center where the bone spiders were, then immediately suppressing the spider swarms flanking them.
The Sword Qi Battalion followed closely behind, hundreds of compressed sword qi slashes cutting through the gaps in the artillery fire, specifically targeting the joints of the bone spiders that tried to climb up after being blasted over.
The coordination was too fast.
The first wave of over a hundred Bloodthirsty Bone Spiders hadn't broken through the shield wall before being engulfed by the simultaneous artillery fire and sword qi.
Bone fragments splattered everywhere, and flesh exploded into large clouds of dark red mist.
A few bone spiders tried to burrow from the ground into the back of the formation, but Wang Mu waved his flag in advance, and three heavy cannons lowered their muzzles to blast the ground fissures directly. The ground exploded, and the lurking bone spiders were shaken out of the cracks before they could land; the Sword Qi Battalion had already sliced them into pieces.
From the outbreak to the end, it took less than a quarter of an hour.
The Heavy Cavalry hadn't moved, and the infantry hadn't been fully deployed.
Over a hundred Foundation Establishment-grade alien subjects were all slaughtered in front of the Divine Kingdom passage.
In the transmission hall, the battle observation system synchronously lit up with the footage of Wang Pingan's first battle.
The few Central Star Region freshmen who had mocked him earlier hadn't left yet, and upon seeing the footage, their laughter came to an abrupt halt.
The blond youth stared intently at the dark gold shield wall, his expression looking a bit sour.
"What kind of shield formation is that? How can a demigod freshman connect five hundred Blood-Condensing Heavy Infantry into a single entity?"
The person next to him locked his gaze onto the Artillery Battalion's firepower chain.
"That firepower formation behind them is also not right... The rhythm of the Artillery Battalion and the Sword Qi Battalion is completely linked; a rookie legion shouldn't have something like this."
Someone still wanted to be stubborn.
"It was only a hundred bone spiders; it doesn't prove anything."
The words were spoken, but the confidence didn't follow.
Because Wang Pingan had fought too easily.
It wasn't a struggle to hold the line; it was that upon landing, he had casually crushed the first wave of probes.
Inside the Blood Moon Wreckage, Wang Pingan watched as strands of dark red origin were extracted from the bone spider corpses, drawn along the Divine Kingdom passage.
Deep within his Divine Core, the Demigod Divine Fire flickered slightly.
The borders of the Divine Kingdom began to expand.
The extent wasn't large, only a few miles, but this growth was real.
Not relying on buying cards, not relying on family gifts.
Growth exchanged for by annexing alien origin.
Wang Pingan's eyes lit up.
This was the true freshman battlefield of Xinghe University.
The danger was real, and the gains were also real.
Wang Mu walked behind him to report.
"Divine Lord, the first batch of bone spiders has been wiped out, and we have zero casualties. The Xuanjia Zhenyue Formation's load-bearing is stable, and the Xinghuo Liancheng Formation's firepower chain consumption is twenty percent lower than expected."
Wang Shan walked back with his blade on his shoulder, his armor stained with the flesh and blood of the bone spiders.
"Divine Lord, these bugs can't break our shield wall at all. Let us keep pushing forward."
Wang Pingan didn't give the order immediately, his gaze fixed on the distant Blood Moon altar.
The batch of bone spiders just now were only peripheral guards; the true core of the Blood Moon Wreckage was still deeper inside—where there were alien demigods, more Foundation Establishment bone spiders, and possibly even Purple Mansion-level elites.
If it were any other freshman, after winning the first wave without casualties, the safest approach would be to set up camp, scout, wait for teammates to join up, and slowly erode the borders of the Divine Kingdom.
Wang Pingan wouldn't fight like that.
He had the fifteen years of battle formation accumulation from the Master of Time, he had Wang Mu and Wang Shan, and he had a fully formed Immortal Martial legion.
He didn't come here to probe.
He came here to expand his Divine Kingdom.
Wang Pingan raised his hand, and the Divine Kingdom passage expanded once more.
One thousand Heavy Infantry stepped out, followed by five hundred Heavy Cavalry forming up; the Artillery Battalion loaded the second round of shells, and the Sword Qi Battalion recalibrated the spiritual power links.
Three thousand Immortal Martial main forces descended into the Blood Moon Wreckage one after another.
The dark gold shield wall was in the front, the silver-white firepower chain was in the rear, and the blood-colored malevolent tiger slowly solidified above the army formation.
The Blood Moon laws attempted to suppress the army spirit, but the malevolent tiger pushed back forcefully.
Wang Shan stood at the vanguard formation eye.
Wang Mu ascended the central command platform.
The entire Immortal Martial Legion began to move.
Deep within the Blood Moon Wreckage, ear-piercing spider screeches rose one after another.
More Bloodthirsty Bone Spiders crawled out from the cracks, bone mountains, and the shadows of the altar, their numbers climbing from hundreds to thousands.
In the distance, several bone spiders with larger bodies slowly raised their torsos, blood patterns on their backs lighting up, their auras already exceeding those of ordinary Foundation Establishment.
Wang Pingan looked at the boundless Blood Moon Divine Kingdom, the excitement in his chest no longer repressible.
Every bone mountain was origin.
Every swarm of bone spiders was fuel for the expansion of the Divine Kingdom.
Every mile he pushed forward, his Divine Kingdom would be able to swallow that much more.
This was a death battlefield for other freshmen.
For him, it was the best hunting ground.
Wang Pingan raised his hand, and his divine decree rang throughout the army formation.
"Full army, advance."
"Flatten this Divine Kingdom for me."
Please, foster fathers and mothers, give some five-star reviews; there have been too many negative reviews lately.
Your foster son bows in gratitude. Also, generating love is free, you know.
