Chapter 1058: Chapter 845: Gatling Bodhisattva

Ziwei Emperor gazed upon those steel warships, a shadow of gloom swiftly crossing his face.

He knew these steel warships were the core military strength on which Li Xuan relied to sweep through the Outer Taixu, and they were also the force within the entire 46 million Heavenly Court of Xuanhuang army that he most dreaded.

These fully armed forces had earned a fearsome reputation across the Taixu Heavens, and to this day, not a single one of the Emperors of the Heavens could withstand their military might.

Ziwei Emperor then turned his gaze toward the Changsheng Emperor of the South, "Does the Changsheng Emperor have confidence?"

As his words fell, those five Kunpeng Warships and two hundred ten Yunzhong warships initiated their second round of simultaneous firing.

With those thick projectiles transforming into streaks of light and shooting out, another three hundred warships were blasted into smithereans.

This ratio of war losses seemed minor compared to the sixty thousand warships under the command of the Emperor of the South, mere dust in the wind.

Yet, it was a result of more than thirty of the Extreme Heaven, over a hundred of the Great Heavenly Position fiercely resisting together, even including the power of Randeng and Kunpeng.

Despite such efforts, they could not withstand the cannon bombardments from those steel warships.

At that moment, facing the Central Army of the Southern forces, the enemy’s left flank, with nine million troops, also pressed on fiercely, rendering the nine hundred twenty thousand troops of the South stretched too thin to attend to both sides. In just those ten breaths, seven hundred warships were destroyed, with casualties over ten thousand.

Ziwei Emperor did not know who the person substituting for Li Xuan in commanding the left flank was, but observing their tactics and strategies, they must certainly be of a caliber equal to Yue Wumu. Their methods in warfare were exceptional.

The troops positioned in the left flank by Li Xuan consisted mostly of former ranks from Haotian’s old guard, such as Sizhi Gongcao, the ’Seven yuan and Eight Extremes’, the ’Nine Glows and Ten Cities’, or weaker and scattered forces like Zhao Gongming, Immortal Master Wuqi, Star Spirit Wudou, Bixia Yuan Jun, and Li Shan Laomu.

Due to their weakness, they strictly obeyed Li Xuan’s military orders without daring to defy; yet their actual combat power was very limited, with the rate of armor-wearing among the troops, except for Zhao Gongming, being less than ten percent.

However, that person was able to unify their strength and take a tactically offensive stance, causing the Southern army to continuously bleed—this command of troops greatly impressed the Ziwei Emperor.

"His firearms are not to be feared," calmly spoke the Emperor of the South, "This person underestimates my forces and has chosen my side as the point of breakthrough, picking the wrong opponent. It’s just that the general commanding his left wing is somewhat troublesome; who might that be? Their military strategy is indeed remarkable."

Black Emperor Liu Ji then bitterly smiled, "I know who it is. That must be the ’Military Immortal’ Han Xin."

Although Han Xin had died at his hands, his military achievements were excessively brilliant, resonating through eternity. Like King Xiang, his True Spirit was constantly pulled by faith, never to fade.

During the era of the Two Hans, Black Emperor Liu Ji did everything possible yet could not truly eliminate him.

That was also the reason Liu Ji was reluctant to easily change sides; he had suppressed this Military Immortal for nearly ten thousand years.

But now, it seemed Han Xin was to be valued anew by the Xuanhuang Emperor, incorporated as an intimate part of his army.

If Black Emperor Liu Ji were to submit to the Heavenly Court of Xuanhuang and become an outlying dependency of the Heavenly Court, it would undoubtedly be under their control.

Black Emperor Liu Ji could already foresee the extremely awkward situations he might face in the future.

"Military Immortal Han Xin?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of the South could not help but snort coldly, "Since the Qin era, all the historical generals and geniuses seem to have converged under him."

She had once intended to recruit Han Xin in the past but had hesitated due to the mortal realm’s Liu Han, and had been unable to execute the plan.

Yet, a thousand years later, when the Two Hans had fallen, Han Xin rejected all recruitment offers from the Emperors of the Heavens.

Having not extended a helping hand during the Military Immortal’s hour of need, how could she possibly win Han Xin’s heartfelt loyalty and willing service?

"If it is indeed him, there may be dangers ahead for our army. I request His Majesty the Jade Emperor to send support of three hundred thousand armored soldiers to help stabilize our battlefront."

The Jade Emperor showed a moment of hesitation upon hearing this, doubts forming.

However, after he glanced at everyone present and the entire battlefield ahead, he ultimately nodded slightly, agreeing to the request from the South.

"Very well! It shall be done as the Emperor of the South wishes; my three hundred thousand armored soldiers will arrive shortly after."

The Jade Emperor could not refuse, especially since Ziwei and Gouchen had already committed all their elite forces, trying to break through at the Central Army’s position, and the situation of the Emperors of Five Directions was also quite dire.

Considering the overall situation, his was the only front that could spare some effort.

The Changsheng Emperor of the South then transformed into a streak of spiritual light, moving towards her own formation.

Only because the battle situation there had become so dire that she had to take personal command.

And with the arrival of the Changsheng Emperor on the battlefield, personally overseeing, Li Xuan immediately felt the pressure.

This Changsheng Emperor deployed all of her 1.2 million armored soldiers to withstand the bombardment from Li Xuan’s cannons.

What was astonishing was that these armored soldiers were all immortal, capable of reforming their bodies even if blasted into mincemeat by the heavy artillery.

Even the armor they wore had self-repair capabilities.

And the casualty rate from all the heavy artillery was drastically declining.

Kunpeng Emperor transformed into a massive demonic body, forcefully absorbing the fired shells. Randeng Buddha also did not lag behind; he revealed a Buddha figure tens of thousands of feet tall, with twenty-four Dinghai Pearls hanging outside the military formation of the Southern army like huge shields, gathering the lethal electromagnetic shells into the Dinghai Pearls.

He also possessed a method of measurement, capable of reducing cannonballs the size of a human to less than the size of a grain, weakening their lethal power by more than a hundred times; he could also shorten the distance between the two armies from the original separation of more than one hundred seventy miles to less than one hundred twenty miles.
