Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Open fire!" Silver Cloud driver Hu Xu ordered all the Emperor Mechas, his eyes filled with rage.

Ten mechas simultaneously switched to turret mode.

Pulse Cannon, Earthquake Cannon, Fireworks Gun, Hurricane Gun Platform, Meteorite Gun...

All the mecha turrets surrounded the volcano, unleashing terrifying kinetic energy. Brilliant beams of light intertwined at the volcano's mouth, forming magnificent clouds of energy!

The energy within the light clouds tilted and surged toward the Ying Snake in the volcano.

The Ying Snake used the entire volcano as its shield, but the power of the turrets was truly exaggerated. The extremely stable volcano began to collapse, spewing out a massive amount of magma. Various energy effects combined into a blast not inferior to nuclear energy, shaking the entire archipelago!

Hundreds of mountains in the archipelago shattered, and the sea surged for hundreds of kilometers.

The destruction from the energy reactors finally injured the presumptuous Ying Snake.

Its blood mixed with the molten lava; after the volcano collapsed, its coiled body in the rock cave writhed and struck the turret mechas with an unimaginable speed for such a huge creature!

The Prison Rock Mecha was hit by this tail strike.

The ground cracked open, threatening to sink into the sea below.

The Prison Rock Mecha was flattened, its chest erupting in countless metallic gears.

Thankfully, the pilot's cockpit ejected just in time, avoiding another loss for the Emperor Alliance of an excellent pilot.

The Emperor Mecha pilots were all Spirit Awakeners, mostly Tactile Spiritual Awakened. Their physical coordination and control abilities were outstanding, enabling them to achieve extremely low-latency combat synchronization with these mechas once in contact.

Training a mecha pilot was actually harder than creating the mecha itself!

So, it was a stroke of fortune in the misfortune that the Prison Rock Mecha pilot survived.

"I'll draw its attention, keep firing!" said a red mecha.

"Red Eagle, don't be reckless," Hu Xu ordered.

Red Eagle disengaged its turret mode, revealing extended armor on its shoulders and arms. Flexible metal feathers connected, transforming into the iron wings of a steel eagle!

The iron wings vibrated, and the Emperor Mecha Red Eagle leapt into the air, soaring toward the collapsing mountain area.

The mountain crumbled into fragments, rolling and crashing in all directions. Red Eagle maneuvered nimbly in the air, its wing tips firing Feather Radiance Missiles!

The Feather Radiance projectiles struck the Ying Snake's scales but were as ineffective as hitting tungsten steel, posing no threat to the monster. Stay connected via empire

The Ying Snake's honeycomb vertical pupils suddenly locked onto the Red Eagle. It opened its mouth, spewing a torrent of poisonous lava, comparable to a submarine volcanic eruption, toward Red Eagle.

Red Eagle suddenly folded its wings and dove, perfectly dodging the outpouring of poison fire.

The Ying Snake didn't retract its poison fire, rotating its head instead. A massive lava column shot toward the ground, splitting the already fractured island further and flooding it with surging seawater...

Flying low, the Red Eagle pilot remained extraordinarily calm, heading for the Ying Snake's midsection and dodging its poisonous breath with elegant spirals!

"What incredible skill!" Wu Hen couldn't help but exclaim.

Red Eagle wasn't the mightiest among the Emperor Mechas, but its pilot's techniques, bravery, and insight far exceeded ordinary levels. It survived the intense breath of the Ying Snake, buying time for other mechas to complete their turret reload!

All the mecha turrets completed their reload for the second round, focusing all their energy on the Ying Snake, now lacking the volcano's protection.

This time the Ying Snake was visibly wounded, writhing its enormous body and coiling up to reduce the impacted area.

Its scales were blasted apart, flesh and blood flying, its power suppressed below the Heavenly Light. Though terrifying, the Ying Snake was still vulnerable to the human mecha forces!

The Emperor Mechas finally regained a shred of human dignity. Those closely watching this epic battle dared to breathe again.

"Those Outer Heaven Guests should make a move now, right?"

"Yeah, we can't just let our mechas be the cannon fodder."

"Only by working together can we defeat this demonic Ying Snake."

Finally, someone noticed that the exalted Outer Heaven Guests hadn't intervened yet. Human fighter crafts were nearly all destroyed, the Mechanical Beast army annihilated, and three Emperor Mechas had been crushed. The human faction had given their all, and the main force was supposed to be the Outer Heaven Guests.

Silver Cloud driver Hu Xu wasn't completely foolish either.

He realized that the Emperor Alliance had shown enough sincerity. If the Holy Sect disciples didn't act, they'd be picked off one by one by the Ying Snake!

"Honored Guests, please join the battle to vanquish the Ying Snake in one blow!" Hu Xu pleaded.

"No rush." Senior Brother Gu Yue coldly refused.

"We've already severely injured the Ying Snake..." Hu Xu felt a bit disappointed.

"These are just superficial wounds. You still need to engage it in close combat so that we can strike its vital points," Gu Yue, always arrogant, insisted.

He didn't care about the lives of these people. The Ying Snake's combat strength hadn't diminished, and it was currently in its most furious state. If the Holy Sect disciples attacked, they would certainly suffer heavy losses.

Gu Yue wasn't willing to make that deal.

"To what extent do we need to engage before you'll act, Honored Guest?" Hu Xu suppressed his growing anger and asked.

"It has a layer of scales and a layer of hard membrane. You've only shattered its scales, not torn through its hard membrane," Gu Yue replied coldly.

"But isn't joint combat…"

"Listen, with your power, you can at most severely wound the Ying Snake, but you can't kill it. Only our Totem Power can penetrate its tough muscles and smash its vital points. So, do what I tell you to do, or we'll walk away and let the Ying Snake lay eggs in your homeland, exterminating you!" Gu Yue dropped all pretense and bluntly revealed his stance.

Intimidated by Gu Yue's imposing aura, Hu Xu could only follow orders.

"Switch to combat mode," Hu Xu commanded loudly.

All the mechas rapidly switched modes.

Especially the Silver Cloud, which already displayed its pulse silver spear.

"Kill!!"

Hu Xu shouted.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Rocket thrusters appeared at the mechanical shoulders, waist, and legs. The Emperor Mecha Silver Cloud launched an aggressive assault on the Divine Desolate Ying Snake with astonishing speed!

Simultaneously, other Emperor Mechas revealed various weapons and joined the encirclement of the Desert Dust behemoth...

"Such existences in the Desert Dust are not in the minority, Chief Li was right. Our human survival rate in the Desert Dust is less than ten percent."

"It's too cruel. We've mobilized so much human resource to build a set of Emperor Mechas, yet they're no different from the vanguard."

"Aren't those Outer Heaven Guests going too far, just standing by and watching?"

"They may not be good people at all."

Discussions erupted, with people initially admiring the Outer Heaven Guests as exalted beings. But after this battle, they were mostly disillusioned.

Being weak means being beaten, it's true. There's no fairness when you're not in the same league.

Frustrated and helpless, humanity, already overwhelmed by the relentless Desert Dust, now faced further indignity from these overpowering beings. Hearts were heavy, and the future seemed bleak!

"Hmph, these bastards deserve to die!" Mingyi watched the scene, her heart seething with anger.

Her gaze swept over the hundred strong Douyi Star Factory warriors, her eyes flashing with killing intent!

"Is it really appropriate for us to enter Desert Dust now? If something changes here, our homeland would be doomed," said the Douyi, Snow Demon.

"Trust our people. Our mission is the Purple Robed Master," Douyi Leader Scorpion said.

"Leader, the Nuwa God End has crossed the Dead Star Gorge and is approaching the Barbaric Mountain Range," a Star Factory commander reported.

"All Douyi Wuying, take your positions!!"

The Top 100 Douyi lined up neatly, ready to fight off the invading Outer Heavens Masters!

Among the Patrollers, many were also ranked in the Top 100.

This time, they wouldn't be fighting as Awakeners but as themselves, charging directly into the Desert Dust from the Nuwa God End to face the Purple Robed Master who defied all of humanity!!

Humans weren't lambs to the slaughter, nor were they the nest bugs as these invaders called them.

Betting on the future of humanity and the dignity of all Douyi Star Factory, they had to exterminate this Outer Heaven Master!

"Mingyi, you stay back." An elderly with white hair stepped forward, speaking in a commanding tone.

"Grandfather, I am also one of the Top 100 Martial Heroes, why can't I join the battle?" Mingyi asked, puzzled.

"Follow orders," the white-haired elder said curtly.

"Yes, Mingyi, stay here as a precaution," said the Douyi Leader.

Mingyi bit her lip, feeling a bit resentful: "If I went all out, I wouldn't lose to the Top Ten Martial Heroes. I would be very effective against that Purple Robed Master."

"Foolish!" the white-haired elder scolded, "Do you think I'm keeping you back out of selfishness? Are we executing this plan to kill the Outer Heaven Guests for momentary pride, or supposed dignity?"

"No..." Mingyi answered.

"If kneeling would ensure our survival, I'd be the first to bow..."

"We do this to preserve...no, just to grimly survive."

"After this action, the Nuwa God End will be at its weakest and most vulnerable."

"Now, you may only make the Top 100 a hundred and one. But then, you alone will be on par with the Top 100, able to cut down the Outer Heaven Guests single-handedly!"

"You are the most likely among us to reach the Heavenly Light. What reason do you have not to stay behind?"
