The Peerless Emperor

Explosions continued to persist, the power of the soul cannon's destructive bombardment was utterly terrifying.

The Void Warship fleet remained on high alert.

Although another shot could completely resolve the issue, Lin Qian couldn't fire again right now.

The Netherworld Clan's sudden assault, with only ten destructive bombardment soul cannons deployed, all fired at once, fear was that the battle would be over before the next energy charge was ready.

However, Lin Qian believed that under the attack of the destructive bombardment of the soul cannon, even with strong defenses, the Netherworld Clan would be left dead or maimed.

Unending explosions finally subsided, revealing the bony Void Ship fleet that the Netherworld Clan had launched their attack with.

Originally in the extraterrestrial void above Soul Martial Star, the Netherworld Clan's fleet descended like a dark cloud, its momentum grand and imposing.

The bony Void Ships looked like menacing skeletal beasts, terrifying in appearance; just from the momentum, the opposition seemed slightly superior.

However, now in the distant extraterrestrial void, the Netherworld Clan's Void Ship fleet appeared devastated; looking around, there were only broken limbs and remains.

The massive Void Ship fleet had become a joke, the terrifying force of the destructive bombardment soul cannon had reduced these Void Ships to dust.

In the dim void, these white particles looked like a conspicuous white mist.

Yet, to Lin Qian's surprise, some of the opponent's Void Ships remained, albeit damaged.

The opponent's combat force had at least thirty percent survival, but the remaining over thirty million Netherworld Clan appear to be among the peak power in this Vanguard.

"So many are still left?" Staring at the displayed content, Lin Qian slightly frowned, his expression stern, as if the scene before him was a blow to him, "It seems the Netherworld Clan's strength truly cannot be underestimated."

Beside him, Wei Wushuang was speechless, looking at his disciple, unable to speak for a long while, his lips moved, his hands trembling.

"You just faced them and turned seventy percent of their combat power into dregs, and you're still dissatisfied, disappointed?" Wei Wushuang couldn't help but express his discontent towards his disciple.

After contemplating for a long time, Lin Qian turned to look at his master Wei Wushuang with utmost seriousness: "Indeed, according to my estimate, this round of bombardment should have obliterated at least ninety percent of their combat strength. Handling the remaining ten percent would have kept casualties below ten thousand."

"... Below ten thousand, are you serious?" Wei Wushuang's lips twitched, staring at his disciple, unsure what to say.

Lin Qian wasn't fazed by his master's expression, just engaging in self-reflection, reviewing the error in his previous command.

In fact, after issuing the command, he realized he had acted impulsively. He hadn't used battle mode for a long time, and his emotions weren't very calm.

"In truth, the ten destructive bombardment soul cannons should have been used in three phases. The first should have only employed one cannon to test their defenses and wear down their forces. In reality, they'd exert full effort against the initial firing, not knowing its intensity, greatly depleting them."

"Following this, three more cannons should have been ordered to eliminate their defenses, causing significant damage."

"Finally, using the remaining six cannons to launch a full assault, should have eradicated at least ninety percent of their combat power. No, possibly ninety-three percent. Unfortunately, I was too impatient, leaving them with thirty percent remaining, leading to likely casualties exceeding ten thousand in the upcoming battle."

Lin Qian spoke with a heavy tone: "If word of this spreads, letting the myriad worlds know, it could bring dishonor to Master and to the Huaxia Empire."

"... Disciple, are you serious?" Wei Wushuang appeared somewhat abnormal at Lin Qian's words.

Lin Qian nodded, looking at the image revealing the Netherworld Clan: "In truth, this race is not a formidable enemy; dealing with them is incredibly simple. In a face-to-face confrontation, their combat skills are not very formidable. Hence, such results are indeed shameful!"

For Lin Qian, this Vanguard of the Netherworld Clan was a rival to the current Huaxia Empire, and having casualties over ten thousand is humiliating.

He acted impulsively, and the destructive bombardment soul cannon's attack didn't achieve a full effect, marking it as a failure!

Lin Qian felt deeply remorseful about this.

When the Imperial Army goes to war, each death costs resources; producing each Imperial Army soldier appears minor on its own, but accumulated, the resource cost is terrifying.

"All troops, advance!"

At this point, Lin Qian couldn't reverse what happened; regret wouldn't help now. All he could do now was strive for perfection in the coming battle.

"Unleash the full might!"

With determined eyes, Lin Qian's gaze was solemn, sternly fixed on the front.

Instantly, the numerous battleships on the battlefield emanated a hazy golden light, down below on Soul Martial Star, golden light surged skyward, converging towards the void, illuminating the fleet of warships.

On the warships, the Imperial Army roared in unison, their morale boosted, combat power enhanced.

"Those who invade Huaxia, even from afar, shall be executed!"

The battle intent soared, the covers of the cannons on the warships were withdrawn with a click, and the soul cannons were revealed.

Charge!

Instantly, the Void Warship fleet accelerated, rapidly charging toward the Netherworld Clan.

The attack route split into different directions, causing the Huaxia Alliance cadets on the warships to nearly tumble over, their footing unsteady, startled by the sudden charge.

You Wuying took a while to recover. Seeing the losses around him, he was overwhelmed with grief and disbelief.

How could there be such a terrifying planet in this remote Sea Spiral Star Domain? The intelligence was clearly inaccurate.

But at that moment, the Void Warships already charged towards them, crashing directly into their scattered formations.

You Wuying was a bit puzzled as to why the other party would charge directly into them, seemingly trapped and encircled?

However, the following scene left You Wuying nearly shattered.

Innumerable soul energy columns surged out from the metal giant ships, sweeping in all directions with formidable power.

Though this bombardment wasn't quite as apocalyptic as the previous ones, it still posed a major threat, capable of overwhelming most Netherworld Clan members.

Their race, adept in poisoning, weakened enemies continuously in battle, growing stronger the longer the battle persisted; this was their terrifying trait.

But these soul cannon attacks were not living beings; what was there to weaken!

Until the Imperial Army disembarked from the warships and charged towards them, many Netherworld Clan members were jubilant, sensing a turn of the tide.
