203: Chapter 203 The Eternal Crown!

Su Ming let out a muffled groan.

His Soul was trembling.

His consciousness was shaking.

But everyone still maintained their flight posture, the Void Wings operating on their own, unaffected.

Two forces of energy clashed inside his body.

One was sharing, attribute infusion, damage sharing—the bond of three thousand people sharing life and death.

The other was projection, the granting of Spirit, the distribution of authority—the crown of three thousand people bathing together in divine grace.

The two devoured each other, undergoing Fusion...

The Soul Palace rose once more.

The dome extended infinitely, turning into a brilliant sea of stars.

That supreme crown...

Cracked.

The crown shattered into pieces.

Turning into countless fragments recombining in the Void Realm.

An even grander throne rose from the center of the palace, the crown turning into a halo at the top of the throne, shining upon the three thousand Heroic Spirit pedestals.

Three thousand chains melted and snapped at the same time!

Recast!

Three thousand brand-new chains descended from the sea of stars! Each one glowed with a golden-purple light, their surfaces engraved with dense patterns that looked like some kind of strange, complex Spirit Inscription.

“Buzz—!”

Waves of numbness rippled out from the depths of his Soul, spreading to his limbs and bones.

Su Ming's entire body shuddered.

[Spirit Fusion complete]

[Fate Bond (precious grade) + Crown of All Spirits (precious grade) → Eternal Crown (Peerless Grade)]

Peerless Grade!

The fifth Peerless Grade Spirit!

He opened the Spirit details.

[Spirit: Eternal Crown]

[Grade: Peerless Grade]

[Spirit Description: Adorned with the crown, even Mortals can slay gods; wherever the crown shines, even Mortals can wield the mighty power of god-slaying.]

[Spirit Effects]

[Coronation: You can link with up to 3,000 teammates. While linked, all linked members share the two highest basic attributes of any single person among them.]

[Spirit Projection: Project two of your own Spirits to up to 3,000 teammates. Teammates will receive 90% of the attribute bonuses and core effects of those Spirits, and you will receive the corresponding refinement points from teammates killing Strange Beasts and Wicked Beasts.]

[Responsibility: When any linked individual takes damage, the damage is shared equally among all linked members, and the shared damage is reduced by 50%, with the pain index reduced by 50%.]

Su Ming stared at the panel.

Two attributes shared.

Two Spirit projections.

Previously, the Crown of All Spirits could only project one, and the Fate Bond could only share one.

Now?

They were doubled.

Simple and brutal, directly doubled!

Removing the redundant additional effects, the core abilities were doubled!

Su Ming's mind raced.

With two attributes shared, his Strength of 52,000 and Physique of 48,000 would be infused into the bodies of three thousand people, creating three thousand monsters with 50,000 Strength and nearly 50,000 Physique.

Plus two Spirit projections.

Previously, he could only choose one.

Projecting flight meant he couldn't project gigantification, and projecting gigantification meant he couldn't project flight—he couldn't have his cake and eat it too.

Now?

Void Sky-Hanging Wings plus Ten Directions Prison-Suppressing Manifestation.

Both projected at the same time.

What did this mean?

It meant three thousand people could simultaneously possess the gigantified form of the Ten Directions Prison-Suppressing Manifestation, coupled with battle-damage evolution, making them unkillable and unbreakable, while also being able to maneuver at supersonic speeds...

They could go wherever they wanted, whenever they wanted.

Global delivery, mission guaranteed!

How could anyone block this?

Who could block them!

Su Ming gripped the star abyss spear tightly.

His breathing grew a bit heavier.

At the end of the skyline, firelight dyed half the sky red.

A low, thunderous rumble came from the distance, mixed with the roars of Strange Beasts and the screams of humans.

Yunyin City.

They were almost there.

A cold light flashed in Su Ming's eyes.

The Soul Palace lit up once more!

Three thousand chains shot out, connecting to the three thousand Wilderness Suppression Bureau soldiers behind him!

—Eternal Crown!

—Coronation: Strength, Physique, dual-attribute sharing!

—Second Spirit Projection: Ten Directions Prison-Suppressing Manifestation!

“Buzz—!!”

A torrent of energy exploded!

Mid-flight.

The bones of the three thousand people hummed, their muscles reorganized, and Prison-Suppressing Rock Armor climbed onto their skin to cover their entire bodies, with dark red rock patterns flowing across it.

Their sizes skyrocketed!

Ten meters! Thirty meters! Sixty meters...

A hundred meters!

Three thousand Hundred-meter Giants tore through the sky, rushing violently toward Yunyin City!

The tactical channel exploded!

“Holy shit—! Growing larger while flying?!”

“Dual Spirits?!”

“Brothers, I am currently a hundred meters tall, a thousand meters up in the air, still flying, and going three thousand kilometers per hour. May I ask if this is reasonable?!”

“Reasonable my ass! But it's awesome!!”

Su Ming ignored the clamor of the crowd.

His gaze locked onto what lay ahead.

The outline of Yunyin City appeared, the firelight growing brighter and the screams becoming clearer.

Su Ming pointed his spear forward.

“Keep up!”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!”

Three thousand black streams of light tore through the sky, the sound barrier exploding as white vapor trails drew straight lines behind them!

...

Yunyin City.

The city walls were crumbling.

The defending army was on the verge of collapse.

City Lord Lu Qingshan was covered in blood, supporting himself against the battlement with one hand.

His voice was hoarse.

“Hold on! Brothers, hold on! The reinforcements will be here soon!”

Su Ming and his force of three thousand giants were in Yangui City.

A distance of eight hundred kilometers!

Even with the boost from Su Ming's flight capability, it would take at least an hour!

An hour...

But could they hold out that long?

They didn't know.

They could only hold out, grit their teeth and hold out!

Below the city walls.

The Strange Beasts formed a dense, black mass.

Stretching as far as the eye could see!

The beast horde frantically slammed into the city wall's Foundation, each impact making the wall shudder as stone fragments rained down. Densely packed Strange Beasts clawed at the crevices in the wall, climbing upward.

Further away.

The Tier 6 Exotic Beast crouched two kilometers away.

Its massive body lay prone on the ground.

Its golden vertical pupils were filled with playfulness.

It had launched a round of attacks, successfully tearing open a gap and eating until it was eighty percent full. Now, its food was still struggling in its death throes.

It was waiting.

Waiting for the people on the wall to exhaust their last ounce of strength, waiting for the low-tier beast horde to wear down the high-end combat power, waiting for the defensive line to tear open. Then, it would slowly stroll over and enjoy this feast.

City Lord Lu Qingshan clenched his fists.

His nails dug into his flesh.

A Tier 6 Exotic Beast!

There was no one in the city who could stop it.

They could only fill the gap with human lives—one, two, ten, a hundred...

Filling it until it was full.

“City Lord! The eastern section of the wall is about to collapse!”

“Send the reserve forces up!”

“The reserves... are already up!”

City Lord Lu Qingshan clenched his teeth hard.

His lips were trembling.

They didn't have much time left!

It was too late!

They couldn't possibly hold out for an hour!

At the eastern section of the wall.

A Wilderness Suppression Bureau soldier collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

He was covered in dripping blood.

Most of his armor was shattered.

His right arm hung limply, the bone piercing out from his elbow, stark white.

He lay on his back, facing the sky.

Gasping heavily for breath.

His vision was blurry.

The sky was very dark.

No, the sky...

It shouldn't be this dark! It was as if something was blocking the sunlight.

Suddenly.

His pupils contracted sharply.

His trembling finger pointed toward the sky.

“What... what is that...”

His voice was hoarse.

Trembling.

The people around him looked up in the direction he was pointing.

Their bodies shuddered.

Their pupils dilated suddenly.

At the edge of the sky.

Black dots.

Ten, a hundred, a thousand...

Three thousand black dots surged from the horizon, getting closer and larger.

Each one was a pitch-black figure a hundred meters tall, the Void Wings behind them tearing through space, dragging three thousand warped spatial rift trails.

Three thousand Prison-Suppressing Giants swooped down from the sky.

Like three thousand meteors.

Smashing heavily outside Yunyin City!

"Boom! Boom! Boom—!"

The earth wailed as shockwaves spread out and dust soared into the sky.

Three thousand Hundred-meter Giants landed at various points outside the city, forcefully cutting off the offensive path of the beast tide, the dark red patterns on their rock armor lighting up simultaneously.

“Buzz—！”

Space rippled in waves.

On the watchtower.

City Lord Lu Qingshan looked up.

A crimson figure hovered before him, the Star Abyss Spear resting on his shoulder, the Hanging-Heaven Wings flapping silently behind his back, his young face devoid of expression.

Su Ming looked down and swept his gaze over.

“Next, it's our turn.”
