Chapter 483: Chapter 480: Cultivation Breakthrough and Enormous Surprise
The strength of the Chi Yu mysterious clan is formidable.
If faced head-on, even with the elite forces of humanity fully deployed, it’s difficult to achieve an absolute victory in a short time.
Just like how Chi Yu Xing Hen once wreaked havoc on the Great Xia Empire with a single Conquering class battleship at Qingzhou City.
Could it be that the Great Xia Empire has no power to counter a Conquering class battleship?
They were simply caught off guard...
Xu Lingjun’s approach is exactly the same as back then, only more aggressive and more covert.
By the time the Chi Yu clan discovered it, no matter how strong they were, it was already too late.
We must know...
No matter how powerful a Tyrannosaurus is, capable of trampling a human with a single step, if a human manages to place a nuclear bomb beneath its feet, it’s entirely possible to easily topple a Tyrannosaurus.
Xu Lingjun placed no less than a thousand!
His current actions simply replicate Chi Yu Xing Hen’s methods back then, but done more skillfully and successfully.
And now...
Watching the beautiful planet before him explode, shatter, and then vanish into the cosmos.
"Full mobilization!"
Xu Lingjun exclaimed loudly: "All warships and mechas deploy, eliminate the remaining Chi Yu remnants, leave none alive!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded loudly in unison.
Though there was little time left for a response from Chi Yu Planet...
The high-ranking members of Chi Yu Planet undoubtedly managed to escape, just like the remnants of the Shilin Race survived their obliteration.
The same mistake... Xu Lingjun would not make twice!
Countless warships and mechas accelerated at full speed towards the debris of Chi Yu Planet.
Xu Lingjun no longer watched.
With the advantage of planning, once Chi Yu Planet was destroyed, the remaining enemies were like rootless duckweed; once found, there was no escaping demise.
This battle was one he could have little effect on.
Returned to his personal office.
Xu Lingjun sat cross-legged, beginning to silently absorb the gifts from two elders of the Chi Yu mysterious clan inside him... possibly their final gifts.
He had long reached the Eighth Layer of the Profound Realm.
His strength no longer inferior to any martial artist in the Grandmaster Realm.
Facing two grandmasters simultaneously, his current physique naturally absorbed all their attacks... until now, the True Qi within even more formidable with each wave...
Just as he sat cross-legged.
The realm had already broken through like piercing through bamboo...
Forcibly breaking through to the Ninth Layer of Profound Realm!
By this point.
He was truly infinitely close to a Guiyuan Grandmaster, at this moment, Xu Lingjun could keenly sense that his True Qi, even without purification through the ’Ninefold Thunder Tribulation,’ was no less potent than the True Essence of any grandmaster!
"Just one step away."
Xu Lingjun opened his eyes, and it was already seven days later.
In those seven days, Jun Qing had come in several times, but seeing Xu Lingjun in closed-door cultivation, she didn’t disturb him, only placing the battle reports on the table.
Apparently, nothing too unexpected occurred, or else she would have immediately interrupted Xu Lingjun.
Now greatly strengthened.
Xu Lingjun stood up and took the battle reports... indeed, all were reports of victories during this period.
Successfully captured one escaping Chi Yu mysterious clan ship, sunk, not a single survivor!
Successfully captured one Constant Star level battleship of the Chi Yu mysterious clan, surrounded by three Monarch level battleships, after blasting for over ten hours, finally destroyed this Constant Star level battleship.
Clearly, it was due to the hurried escape that the Chi Yu mysterious clan hadn’t equipped it with weapons in time.
Otherwise, this Constant Star level battleship might have escaped, but now, it’s a spoil of the Qisha Military District.
Even Constant Star level battleships were captured...
It seems the Chi Yu mysterious clan no longer has any luck on their side.
Xu Lingjun flipped to the last page.
It was the casualty list from this explosion operation... a total of 275 people sacrificed their lives.
Some died because they were too far away to return in time, others died in battle with the Chi Yu mysterious clan.
In reality, this number is even lower compared to normal combat losses.
Though Xu Lingjun felt lament, he had to admit it was a great victory...
Zero casualties always have been a joke, a victory without sacrifice simply doesn’t exist.
"So it seems the war is over."
When Xu Lingjun walked out the door.
What he saw were eyes filled with admiration.
Although he was already the uncrowned king of the Qisha Military District, now, as a commander, he was willing to risk his own life to cover his subordinates’ retreat...
If Xu Lingjun’s subordinates previously revered him due to his endless miraculous methods,
then now, he had truly won them over with his personal charisma, completely conquering these disciples.
Even the disciples of the Cuowu Sect now only knew of Xu Lingjun and acknowledged only the Sect.
But what Xu Lingjun was thinking about was another matter...
Before he succeeded to the position of Commander in Chief of the Polar Star Battlefield, he once asked Hao Yuntun if he could leave the military district.
And his answer was...
If safety is ensured, as Commander in Chief, you do not need to guard here all the time.
And the Qisha Military District was built against the Chi Yu mysterious clan, and now that the Chi Yu clan is no more... Does that mean I can finally leave here?
A dozen days later,
The Nine Major Military Regions achieved great victories.
With meticulous planning and ample preparation in the Polar Star Battlefield, everything was favorable...
Now, the strategic objectives have been achieved.
Numerous mysterious races of the heavens, such as the Yun Clan, Iron Race, Yinling Race, and many more, have been forcibly driven out of the Star Ring and back to their own planets.
The Polar Star Battlefield front line has greatly extended and expanded, and now, the Great Xia Empire is no longer troubled by war!
Good news came one after another...
Han Xu Yang was delighted, to the point where he could not help but laugh aloud even in the midst of intimate moments, killing all interest for the concubines.
And when summarizing military merits,
Han Xu Yang and various officials from the Military Affairs Department personally organized the military accomplishments, preparing to list First Class, Second Class, and Third Class Merits, etc., to reward and compensate the Ninth Army.
But as for who would claim the foremost merit, everyone argued endlessly.
Xu Lingjun had destroyed another base of the Chi Yu mysterious clan, an accomplishment that initially required the joint forces of the Nine Major Military Regions... He achieved this with only one newly established military district.
Meanwhile, Bai Yunrui personally went to the front lines to control the battle situation, though he did not engage in fighting, his contribution perhaps even greater than that of the other eight Grand Commanders combined.
It was genuinely difficult to determine who should claim the foremost merit.
The Military Affairs Department was filled with endless dispute... It was as lively as a marketplace.
Even Han Xu Yang looked frustrated.
Everyone had merits, but there had to be a headliner... Moreover, the reward for the headliner was unique.
How could two people stand side by side?
No matter who is chosen, it would be unfair to the other, considering that the unilateral achievements of either of them would be monumental during normal times, but they just happened to collide this time.
And on this day,
He looked speechlessly at the ministers below, debating back and forth...
One said to break the custom and dare to employ young people.
Another said Bai Yunrui has accumulated much and blossomed, which was only natural.
Until a new war report was delivered to everyone’s table.
"Strange, hasn’t the war already reached its closing stages? What news is still worth transmitting?"
Military Intelligence Minister Liu Wanren took the war report, glanced at it, and then uttered a sound before collapsing.
"What happened? The worst result is that those mysterious races of the heavens retake their bases, is it that shocking?"
Colleague Wu Ling bent down to pick up the war report, glanced at it, and immediately clutched his chest in distress, searching frantically for an emergency heart pill, but couldn’t find it... He could only despairingly faint, with regret etched on his face before losing consciousness.
Regrettable...
Not being able to personally announce this news.
Seeing both men collapse.
Cheng Haizhong showed a bit of fear in his eyes and glanced at Han Xu Yang...
Han Xu Yang frowned and said, "Cheng Qing, what does it say? Hand it over and let me see."
"Yes."
Cheng Haizhong, with some trepidation, carefully took the war report.
Then his face changed dramatically...
He took several deep breaths, exhaled, and inhaled again.
Only then did he manage to steady himself... At this moment, even Han Xu Yang couldn’t help but applaud him.
Forcing himself to hand the war report over to Han Xu Yang.
The war report was straightforward, a short line of words.
"Qisha Military District has infiltrated the Chi Yu mysterious clan, released a nuclear bomb, destroyed their star, and annihilated their clan; the Chi Yu mysterious clan is now history!"
