Chapter 366: Chapter 297 Fleet

From the earliest stones to spears and bows, muskets and cannons, and then to airplanes and tanks, to today’s aircraft carriers and missiles.

Humanity has plowed through generations of vigorous development, exploiting its own intelligence and malice incessantly.

In the pursuit of annihilating fellow humans, they have also continuously escalated the means of war and the power of weapons to the extreme.

However, now, the physical strength of an individual, when faced with modern weaponry, has long become insignificant, and personal valor has been scattered to the winds by steel and gunpowder.

The power of an individual has also become meaningless in the face of absolute money and power.

This should have been the case...

At least until ten months ago, this was the consensus of the vast majority of humans.

But at this moment, over a tranquil ocean,

the most powerful fleet humanity has ever produced has arrived here, and weapons that encapsulate countless human intellects are ready to unleash.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away, millions of people are on edge, fully prepared for any change in the situation here.

And all of this was for just two individuals.

Two individuals who broke human conventions, who could threaten world stability with individual martial power—’humans.’

One of them was named Xingxiao, who was already standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier, seemingly siding with the White Eagle Country’s fleet.

The other was named Lin Xing, currently standing in mid-air, overlooking the entire fleet.

At this moment, countless soldiers in the fleet also focused their attention on these two.

No one knew what the outcome would be from the collision of the world’s strongest weapons and this ultimate personal martial power, but unease and tension had already begun to spread through the troops.

"Begin the war?"

When Lin Xing heard Xingxiao’s response, a surging spiritual thought had already erupted around him.

The spiritual thought whipped up gusts of wind that blew in all directions and also carried the sound of his next words across the heavens and earth.

"Does White Eagle Country also wish to be an enemy of mine?"

His cold voice seemed devoid of any emotion, imposing a pressure that made countless soldiers break out in cold sweats.

After a moment of silence, a White Eagle Country elder in high-ranking military attire slowly walked up to the deck.

He picked up a megaphone and shouted towards Lin Xing, "The battle between the two of you has already caused significant losses in multiple countries and has triggered unease in all social strata globally."

"We hope that both of you can cease fighting, sit down, and talk, to resolve this conflict in a peaceful manner..."

Xingxiao stood next to the elder, his eyes full of mockery towards Lin Xing as if to say, everything is just as I’ve told you. Do you dare to wage war against the powers of this world?

As Lin Xing listened to the elder’s rambling, he slowly lowered his eyelids, seemingly deep in thought.

Simultaneously, his figure gradually descended and eventually landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier with a thud.

"You’re right, this battle should indeed end."

Feeling Lin Xing’s gradually settling presence and hearing his words, the many soldiers of White Eagle Country all breathed a sigh of relief.

The White Eagle Country elder, who had been admonishing Lin Xing, felt his tense nerves also slightly relax.

Just as everyone thought Lin Xing was willing to end the battle with Xingxiao and resolve their differences through dialogue,

black runes spread rapidly from Lin Xing’s body toward the deck of the aircraft carrier below.

Lin Xing opened his eyes, which seemed to brew a turbulent Sword Intent.

"But not in a peaceful way."

"This world has been at peace for long enough, so long that it has become rotten, foul, utterly corrupt."

And at the center of Lin Xing’s brow, a rune as if a flame burning fiercely appeared, the power of celestial energy.

"But, thanks to you all for

bringing these weapons."

"With these, the battle will soon end."

"Thank you for your contributions to this world."

The sliver of celestial energy within Lin Xing’s primordial spirit had recovered seventy to eighty percent during the past two days of intense combat.

Now, as he once again infused his Pure Yang Primordial Spirit with celestial energy, his spellcasting ability soared anew.

The range, speed, and effect of Artifact Refining through the Six Secret Immortal Refining surged wildly, quickly enveloping the entire aircraft carrier.

As the elder felt the deck undulating like waves beneath his feet, he was instantly drenched in cold sweat, "No! Lin Xing! You can’t..."

With a thunderous boom, the aircraft carrier beneath their feet seemed to emit a series of mournful moans.

The elder cried out as a torrent of blood sprayed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

In the next instant, he burst apart as if disintegrating, exploding violently.

At the same time, similar scenes were unfolding in every corner of the aircraft carrier.

One by one, soldiers exploded like fireworks, creating clouds of blood that diffused into the surroundings.

It was vaguely visible that within those clouds of blood, various human organs twitched and squirmed.

On the deck of the aircraft carrier, huge voids suddenly opened, and rows of missiles with soaring sword lights rose slowly from the holes.

Watching the missiles rise into the air, Xingxiao burst into laughter, "Lin Xing, it seems you’ve truly gone mad, losing control once again, just like the countless times before."

"Lost control?" Lin Xing shook his head, feeling his will spreading out across the heavens and earth as Celestial Qi infused into him.

"You’re wrong, Xingxiao."

"I’ve never felt a moment where I saw my own thoughts so clearly... where I carried out my own will as thoroughly as I am doing now."

Lin Xing began to laugh, "Not only have I not lost control, but my control over myself has reached an unprecedented level."

He raised his hand, and the sky filled with a torrent of blood-red light, pouring out of the countless channels and gaps in the aircraft carrier, continuously rushing into the clouds.

After all life aboard the carrier had been expelled, Lin Xing’s other hand gently pressed down.

An increasingly dull sound emanated from within the carrier, indicating that some violent change was occurring within.

Celestial Qi: 1.5→1.6

At the same time, on the other side, Xingxiao also burst forth with a surge of Gang Qi, sneering, "You mad dog, always lashing out in insanity, lacking the courage to face the reversal of time. You are destined to collapse in this life!"

As Xingxiao erupted once more, unpredictable wills descended upon the world, and clouds churned and lightning flashed across the sky as a violent storm formed at sea.

Further away, the cruisers, destroyers, and submarines in the carrier’s fleet fell into momentary chaos upon losing communication with the carrier.

But soon, as if receiving new orders, they started their assault towards Lin Xing’s position.

Various ship cannons and missiles simultaneously targeted Lin Xing’s location and commenced their offensive.

Projectiles tore through the atmosphere at several times the speed of sound, and missiles, with blinding flames, rushed straight towards the carrier.

But whether it was projectiles or missiles, as soon as they drew near Lin Xing, they were instantly covered in black runes, then disintegrated into a metal torrent that revolved around Lin Xing, as if soldiers guarding him.

The next moment, an immense roar echoed through the heavens and earth above the world’s most powerful warship.

Lin Xing, holding a black sword and entwined with blood-red light and metal, collided fiercely with Xingxiao, who was enshrouded in starlight and Gang Qi.

The whole world instantly darkened, the storm howled to life, bolts of lightning fell from the sky, aiming for Lin Xing.

Simultaneously, missiles flickering with sword light were also launched at high speed towards Xingxiao’s position.

Before the echoes of the explosion subsided, blinding flames completely engulfed the area above the carrier, obscuring the figures of both combatants.

However, the flames continued to burn, and two blurry afterimages burst out from the fire, tearing through the atmosphere to create a corridor-like vacuum.

The indistinguishable afterimages flickered back and forth in the sky, accompanied by dazzling sword light and terrifying storms.

The continuous thunder reverberated across the entire sky in an instant, as if thousands of bolts of lighting exploded at once.

Numerous soldiers stared dumbfounded at this scene, wanting to intervene but finding themselves unable to begin.

"No good, all weapons lose control when they approach..."

"The carrier still isn’t responding..."

"Command is ordering us to support Xingxiao with all our might..."

The captains of the vessels watched the war unfolding helplessly, unsure how to engage anymore.

"How are we supposed to support Xingxiao?"

"What madness has taken over the higher-ups?"

Under the infusion of Celestial Qi and the Six Secret Immortal Refining, it seemed all the modern weapons at the fleet’s disposal had lost their effectiveness against Lin Xing.

And in the next moment, something even more startling occurred.

"The Sea Hawk vertical intercept missiles are out of control!"

"Why are the cruisers’ anti-air missiles launching?"

"Captain! The launch pad has opened by itself! We can’t close it!"

As the battleground between Lin Xing and Xingxiao continued to expand and shift, the White Eagle Country soldiers on the various vessels quickly discovered their weapon systems gradually losing control.

One missile after another, mixed with sword light, shot up into the sky, joining the battle like flying swords.

In just a brief interval, thousands of missiles rose into the sky with Lin Xing’s will.

Blinding explosions continued to burst in midair, like thousands of suns blooming simultaneously in the sky.

The captain of the cruiser watched the sky engulfed in a sea of flames and murmured, "This is no longer a battle we can join."

At the same time, a figure fell from the sky like a meteor, wreathed in dazzling starlight and air waves.

It was Xingxiao, his body torn and mangled, missing a beastly head and an arm.

Close behind, another figure chasing him, cloaked in blood light and sword light.

The two dashed one after the other and with a loud crash, plunged into the ocean.

The entire ocean suddenly boiled and surged tumultuously, as if a colossal sea monster was engaged in intense underwater combat.

At that moment, many soldiers suddenly opened their mouths wide, looking towards the direction of the carrier.

"What... what is that?"

The bow of the carrier suddenly split apart, transforming into what looked like two giant thighs.

Then, the stern began to unfold as well, becoming a pair of arms that covered the heavens.

The giant metal construct, covered in black Six Secret Runes, continued to expand and swell in size...
