Darkness shrouded the area outside the Great Wall University.

The spirit race was like the ocean tides, flowing over in endless numbers. The surrounding stars were like a candle being extinguished by a violent wind. Their energies were sucked dry, becoming dead stars floating in the universe, emitting no hint of aura at all.

The twisting figures were like ants bunched together, floating across s.p.a.ce, appearing like malevolent and terrifying shadows.

The Great Wall University was completely surrounded. There was no gap at all.

The endless black tides seemed as though they wanted to engulf the entire Great Wall University, not sparing any lives.

In this tense atmosphere, no matter how calm someone was, they would naturally feel nervous. The expressions of everyone were extremely heavy.

For a war between different races, neither side could live while the other survived.

There were no words of politeness, nor was there any warning. There was only a single response.

Open fire!

Without any prior conversation or sign, the roars of cannon fire instantly echoed throughout this s.p.a.ce. The cannons, which were ready a long time ago, finally blasted out, causing destructive flames to manifest.

Quantum extermination cannons, dark matter decomposition cannons… all sorts of energy-type cannons fired. These were all constructed from the peak technology of humanity. Each of them was capable of unleas.h.i.+ng incomparably terrifying power that was capable of destroying stars and the most basic structure of matter.

A commotion instantly occurred in the black spirit tide as shocking blank holes could now be seen in their formation.

However, countless spirit lifeforms floated over and filled up the holes once again. They seemed endless in number.

Numerous giant spirit beasts hovered over stars, continuously absorbing their energy. Their reproduction organs on their large stomachs continued to birth spirit children.

Under the stimulation of the astral energy from the stars, the spirit lifeforms that were just created kept growing. They grew rapidly and became mature in a few short moments. They then transformed into various forms, and all had different abilities.

This army of spirit lifeforms then began their ferocious counter-attack.

The spirit octopuses gathered together in droves and formed a huge group that resembled a giant electromagnetic ring. Electrical energy continued to gather within the coil, and after a certain point was reached, an immense electromagnetic blast shot out!

Numerous spirit monsters resembling man-eating plants opened their maws and embedded themselves on the stars to absorb their energy. They unleashed a powerful wave of radiation that flowed toward the Great Wall University.

Numerous giant spirit pythons coiled together; their energy revolved unceasingly within their bodies as strong electromagnetic fluctuations could be felt. This would affect the energy signals used within the Star Fortresses, causing countless machines to become ‘blind’ as they lost connection.

…

The spirits were energy lifeforms. The could naturally control all sorts of cosmic energy in the universe and had a myriad of ways to attack. They could join forces with each other and their attacks were like ocean tides, coming waves after waves, wanting to engulf the Great Wall University.

The interstellar warfare’s curtain had been pulled open.

Even for the fortresses that were constructed by steel, they were trembling under the might of the attacks. This naturally also caused a commotion within.

“Activate the energy barrier!” A voice roared in anger.

“Energy barrier is activated, 10%, 20%, 30%…100%!” A thick protective barrier shone with light, it gradually became corporeal and was as tough as a wall, protectively surrounding the star fortresses, not allowing the slightest gust of wind to enter.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

Many electric blasts were fired, creating ripples in the energy barrier but the power behind those attacks was disintegrated into nothingness.

The countless cannons on the fortresses began to counter-attack.

The blasts of the energy cannons illuminated the sky, creating a blinding glare. Everywhere the energy waves pa.s.sed by, all living things would instantly disintegrate into a fine powder. Even the simplest molecular structure wouldn’t exist.

This interstellar war just started but the situation instantly intensified, entering a climax.

The roars of cannons sounded out, the explosions thundered through s.p.a.ce, the surroundings trembled…

An interstellar war filled with the colors of science and technology was displayed before everyone.

Feng Lin also had a face filled with shock now that he had witnessed this.

After seeing this, he knew that the s.h.i.+vers he felt from this magnificent scene of destruction could never be replicated from watching the war through a recording.

The aftermath of the attacks was incomparably terrifying. All substances that came in contact with the blasts were thoroughly disintegrated. Even cultivators whose life level had evolved were also like ants before the might of such technology. If they were embroiled within, they would instantly turn into cosmic dust.

After the initial probing attacks, the star fortresses of the Great Wall University no longer hid things. They directly took out their killing trump card.

Metallic sh.e.l.ls inside the cannons were ejected near sublight speed via electromagnetic acceleration.

The metallic sh.e.l.ls looked extremely backward like it was a technology product from previous eras. However, once they were blasted out, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people within and without the star fortresses. The eyes of all humans were filled with antic.i.p.ation.

Would this spirit race’s bane be as effective as before and display its G.o.dly might?

The result didn’t cause them to be disappointed.

The metallic sh.e.l.ls were shot into the spirit tide. They instantly exploded, causing clouds of red mist to fill the air as they continued to spread out.

Those spirit monsters that came in contact with the red mist instantly ignited. Their bodies burned with blazing flames and spread like the plague, infecting those near them unceasingly.

The molecular structures of the energy-based spirit lifeforms were destroyed one by one, they became huge b.a.l.l.s of fire that burned resplendently.

The crimson refinement gunpowder was a catalyst for energy reaction. The quant.i.ty of the red mist wouldn’t be reduced by much, but the effects were exceedingly great. The duration of the red mist burning was also extremely shocking.

The black spirit tide was instantly thrown into chaos. Blazing flames spread everywhere.

And everywhere the metallic sh.e.l.ls blasted toward, huge fiery holes would appear, widening endlessly.

No matter how the spirit monsters tried to rush over to fill the holes created, they only became fuel for the fire. They no longer had a way to fill the ever-widening holes.

The black spirit tide was in an uproar. The red flames were churning like ocean tides, causing chaos to descend onto the spirit race.

This was the first time the Great Wall University occupied an advantage. Cheerings could be heard all around from the humans.

“The crimson refinement gunpowder has displayed their effects. This item truly is the bane of the spirit race.”

“In the future, it would be easier for us to resist the spirit race’s invasion!”

“With this, we have one more trump card. Maybe, we might even be able to take the initiative and launch a counter-attack!”

…

The faces of everyone were filled with excitement like they could see a ray of hope for victory.

However, Feng Lin, the inventor of the crimson refinement gunpowder didn’t feel it would be so easy. This wasn’t because he had no confidence in humanity. In truth, he was very clear about the might and limits of the crimson refinement gunpowder. Although this substance could slow the violent attacks from the spirit race down, it wasn’t enough to mitigate the great distance between the strength of the two civilizations.

If they had the naive thought of depending on a single trump card to annihilate an interstellar race, humanity would have already become extinct on numerous occasions. Hence, intelligent humans would never be so optimistic.

The reality was as he expected as well.

After suffering the powerful effects of the crimson refinement gunpowder, the spirit race suddenly took action.

The spirit race had already discovered the effects of the crimson refinement gunpowder in their earlier clash. No way they didn’t make preparations to guard against it.

Po~

Countless ripples spread through s.p.a.ce as intense energy fluctuations caused interferences,

Over ten wormholes suddenly opened up as numerous spirit blackholes floated out. They then began to inhale, creating a strong suction force like that of black holes. The immense suction force instantly caused the crimson refinement gunpowder to burst into flames. The flames, the remaining clouds of red mist, along with many of the spirit lifeforms that caught fire, were all devoured into the stomachs of the spirit blackholes. There were no movements from those devoured beings after that.
