The massive airship continued to fly through the air, before arriving at the Saint Lands after half a day.
The Saint Lands was located on a spiritual mountain filled with energy in the middle of Planet Uros. There were over 18 wide paths leading to the peak of the mountain.
On either side of the 18 tunnels were 18 huge cities, each one resplendent and beautiful. As they soared above the 18 cities, they could see the countless aliens already launching assaults on the various cities below.
The humans were crying and screaming as they tried to flee in all directions.
However, there was a stark difference between the 18 cities and South Origin City.
The strongest firepower of South Origin City was the 36 electromagnetic cannons and most of the people defending used melee weapons. As for firearms, there were just ordinary rifles. In any case, compared to these firearms, the cultivators themselves were even more terrifying.
The Saint Lands were different, as each of them had particle cannons, plasma bombs, gauss rifles, laser tanks, and other heavy weapons.
At the point of the aliens’ attack, firepower rained in all directions.
Along the streets of one city, an alien with a pair of blades growing out of its head and a gray exoskeleton appeared, pouncing towards dozens of the fleeing humans.
In just a breath, the alien had already charged within their midst and waved its blades about, slicing through 6 of them at the waist, as blood and organs spilled everywhere.
“Blizzaga!!”
At this moment, a Type 4 expert came roaring from a short distance away, his body shrouded in an impenetrable ice armor. Both his hands were congealing icy energies as he charged towards that alien.
The bladed-alien leaped with all its might, charging through the human crowd, dodging the attack of that expert, causing him to hit thin air.
Even so, the icy aura spread out, causing the region around him to rapidly freeze, stretching towards the alien.
In response, the alien leaped and evaded the attack once more, before twisting its head to fire off its tongue that penetrated the head of the expert in a split second, killing him effortlessly.
“Beast, die!” 4 Type 3 martial artists roared as they charged towards the alien as well.
With a flash, the alien weaved through them, and its blades slashed through the air, directly slicing them up in multiple pieces.
Just as the alien was about to continue on its unbridled killing spree, 5 Saint Soldiers wearing the powerful mech armor charged out from one corner.
With a wave of their hands, beams shot out from behind their backs, turning into a light net that shot towards the alien.
Sensing danger, the alien leaped and tried to flee.
However, the net was made out of powerful technology, and it quickly encompassed the alien, wrapping around it as it began to struggle madly.
The moment they caught it, the 5 Saint Soldiers began to unload their particle beams into it.
The beams then punched through the exoskeletons of the alien, causing huge holes as it began to turn into a hole-riddled corpse. Noticing something wrong, the leader of the soldier had a change of expression, “Not good! Retract the net!”
The corrosive blood of the blood was extremely terrifying, almost corroding most of the net away.
They quickly kept the net back, as it was one of their trump cards.
Just after they retrieved the net, there was a sudden gust of wind, as a blade tore through all 5 of their heads.
The decapitated heads soared through the air, landing and bleeding out.
A stronger bladed-alien appeared in the distance, coldly glaring over.
At this time, a terrifying laser beam shot from afar, slamming into the left shoulder of the alien, causing its extended blade to be blown apart.
The alien roared out in pain and quickly charged through the fleeing humans as it engaged in a massacre, killing over 30 humans in a breath.
The battle between the humans and aliens was extremely savage and cruel, with huge numbers of casualties on both sides every passing second.
In comparison, although the humans had more advanced weaponry, their death toll was higher.
Every single alien was born a killing machine, with natural talents in hunting and killing. Although their numbers were lesser, each one of them could easily tear through a crowd of humans.
Other than holding the advantage in close combat, some of the aliens had tongues that could extend out for quite far. As long as the soldiers got within range, the aliens would make use of that projectile-like tongue to take down the human soldiers.
The only experts within the 18 cities that could deal with the aliens were the Type 4 and Type 5 human cultivators.
Any Type 3 experts that appeared would only be killed within a second.
There were over 3 million people within the 18 cities, 200,000 of them were experts, but they were being annihilated by this group of aliens that were not even more than 30,000 in numbers.
Even Yue Zhong sucked in a breath of cold air upon witnessing this scene.
These 30,000 aliens were not trash, unlike those zombies. Even someone as strong as Yue Zhong piloting the Scarlet Reaper could not take out all 30,000 within a short time.
A single laser beam that could punch through tens of thousands of zombies could not even cause a scratch on the aliens.
On the airship, Zhang Xuan looked out in horror as an alien tore a Type 5 human expert in half, his face turning pale, “What the hell is that?! How are they so terrifying?!”
By this time, all the experts within the Saint Lands were being deployed out, as a huge number of experts sat in armored vehicles that rolled out to provide reinforcements.
A number of fighter jets also shot out from the Saint Lands, arriving at the airspace above the cities.
When they arrived, they quickly focused their firepower upon the aliens below.
Seeing the fighter jets, Zhang Xuan quickly relayed a message over, “This is Saint Envoy Zhang Xuan, what’s going on?!”
When the soldier within the fighter jet saw that it was Zhang Xuan, he replied respectfully but solemnly, “Sir, the Saint Lord has just confirmed that those monsters below are the harbingers of the apocalypse. The Saint Lord has already given the order for all Saint Envoys to report back, you’d better contact His Majesty quickly.”
Zhang Xuan’s face fell when he heard that, muttering under his breath, “Apocalypse… there was actually such a thing… I had thought that it was just a myth…”
A thousand years was too long in human history. Most would forget easily what happened even if there were records. The apocalypses of the past were treated as myths, no one had expected such a thing to actually happen.
However, Zhang Xuan was also a Type 6 expert, and he quickly calmed himself down, ordering, “Open a channel to His Majesty.”
Soon, a man with a deep and stern gaze, dressed in a robe with countless stars and wielding a staff inlaid with countless Mutant Beasts nuclei appeared on the display.
Zhang Xuan immediately bowed in respect, “Your subject greets Your Majesty!”
The Saint Lord glanced at Zhang Xuan and spoke, “Zhang Xuan, quickly head to Cleansing Wind City, and join up with Tang Xi and Murong Wang to wipe out those aliens.”
“Yes!” Zhang Xuan replied immediately.
After that, he piloted the airship towards Cleansing Wind City, which happened to be the closest.
By now, there were over 20 airships in the air, and they were all different from Zhang Xuan’s own airship. Some were over 100 meters in length and they were all equipped with countless cannons, firing out their projectiles madly.
Due to the support of these airships, the defense line of the city was able to hold out and withstand the assault.
With the firepower of these 20 airships, if they were placed on Earth, they could easily wipe out over 100,000 zombies in a flash.
However, these aliens were essentially different creatures. Their numbers were lesser but each one was more powerful and lethal than a group of zombies. Their formations were also widely spread out, and the dense firepower only served to kill them one by one, instead of dealing with a large group.
Zhang Xuan followed the orders of the Cleansing Wind City and landed on a field.
Out on the field, over a hundred soldiers were stationed. On top of that, there were 60 other experts dressed in stars-covered robes. The group was separated in two lines, and the weakest amongst them was at the Type 5 realm.
