Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 883: Chapter 352: Special Envoy Ju Zhang

Among the four major Alien Races in the Fifth-Tier Huashi Star Domain, the Rock Armor Clan is not the most offensive, but it is the most defensive.

Their Rock Armor Royal City, fortified over generations, is as impregnable as a natural barrier.

The base width of the outer city wall is a hundred meters, with the height also exceeding a hundred meters.

Even Sixth-Tier experts cannot topple it with full-force attacks.

Of course, such height cannot stop Fifth-Tier and Sixth-Tier experts.

However, it can prevent the Third-Tier and early Fourth-Tier elites of the attacking side from participating in the battle, while the defending side’s Third-Tier and early Fourth-Tier elites can array in formation on the walls and focus their firepower.

It is known that, for any faction, the Third-Tier and Fourth-Tier are the main combat elites.

Of course, this is under the premise that the elite strength of the Sixth and Fifth Tiers is not too disparate.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Holy Clan Messenger chose the altar at Rock Armor Royal City.

But now, due to the Earth Spirit King’s defeat, the situation has somewhat reversed.

Domain Master Ji Cheng is stationed in Hongli City, presiding over the planning of a major retreat.

The one leading the team is Military Adviser Ji Xiuchuan, but the person truly in charge is still Xu Jin.

Counting Xu Jin and the others, a total of fifty people arrived aboard the starship.

Aside from Ji Xiuchuan, a Sixth-Tier, the rest are all Fifth-Tier elites, including Xu Jin, Cui Chongguang, Hou Yunzhang, Li Zhen, Ning Yuchan, and Ji Hongli.

No captured Sixth-Tier aliens were brought along.

This was a lesson learned.

Last time, when Domain Master Ji Cheng attempted to attack Rock Armor Royal City with a large troop.

Originally, Ji Cheng’s forces were strong enough that even if they couldn’t win, they wouldn’t suffer a total defeat.

But at a crucial moment, the varied promises of the Holy Clan Messenger influenced the Sixth-Tier aliens accompanying the battle.

These Sixth-Tier aliens didn’t overtly betray, but each was lackluster in effort.

This led to Ji Cheng’s catastrophic defeat, with six Human elite war deaths, including another extremely crucial Sixth-Tier.

Furthermore, it resulted in Domain Master Ji Cheng’s grave injury and coma.

Originally, with such a composition of forces, the potential to conquer Rock Armor Royal City was slim to none.

But firstly, Xu Jin’s combat power is extraordinary.

Secondly, Military Adviser Ji Xiuchuan calculated for everyone that the number of Sixth-Tier aliens in the Fifth-Tier Huashi Star Domain was limited.

According to previous intelligence, the three major alien races in the Fifth-Tier Huashi Star Domain have a total of thirty-one Sixth-Tier aliens.

During the last attack led by Ji Cheng on Rock Armor Royal City, three were eliminated, and one was severely injured; at the Star Gate, Xu Jin took out four; when the Earth Spirit King led an attack, a total of eleven were captured, three were captured, and the others annihilated!

Theoretically, even if all the elite forces of the three major alien races merged, Rock Armor Royal City would at most have twelve Sixth-Tiers.

Moreover, according to previous intel, at least six Sixth-Tier aliens were occupied with the altar and could not engage.

The maximum opposition we need to face head-on is six Sixth-Tiers and nearly two hundred Fifth-Tiers.

It’s worth attempting.

As the starship flew several hundred miles from Rock Armor Royal City, Xu Jin saw the so-called Altar Sky Road from the captives’ accounts.

In the direction of Rock Armor Royal City, a massive, dazzling starlit passage rose into the sky and pierced the vault of heaven.

From the other end, another realm seemed to draw closer to the Altar Sky Road.

Even figures could be seen in that other realm!

Four words flashed through Xu Jin’s mind: Ancestral Land Cave Heaven!

The closer they got, the more clearly they could see.

The Altar Sky Road was slowly extending towards that hazy other realm in the vault of heaven, moving at a not-so-fast pace.

By naked eye estimation, within a day or two, this Altar Sky Road would certainly extend above that Ancestral Land Cave Heaven and connect with it.

Not only that, Xu Jin and others could also see the Ancestral Land Cave Heaven emitting a lot of brilliant light into the Altar Sky Road, seemingly in a pulling motion.

Mistily, this Altar Sky Road appeared to have established some connection with that Ancestral Land Cave Heaven.

As they drew closer, they could vaguely see a dense crowd standing in that Ancestral Land Cave Heaven, gazing at this realm as if waiting and welcoming.

But the distance was too great to see clearly, and sensing was impossible!

By now, Xu Jin understood that if the connection succeeded, the Holy Clan in Ancestral Land Cave Heaven would likely charge in at the first moment.

By then, the Humans within Huashi Star Domain would surely have no chance of survival!

”Gentlemen, if there’s a chance, we must seize it,” Xu Jin said solemnly on the starship.

Upon hearing this, Ji Hongli felt most at ease.

If the Huashi Star Domain successfully connects with the Ancestral Land, others wouldn’t be affected much.

With the speed of cultivators, at most, in less than half a day, they’d retreat from the Huashi Star Domain.

However, her father could only hold fast to the Huashi Star Domain.

With the successful connection, her father would surely die.

Her father’s path of survival was solely to destroy the connection to the Ancestral Land Cave Heaven.

However, Xu Jin’s words elicited no response, with everyone gazing at Rock Armor Royal City’s walls, expressions grave!

Just as Military Adviser Ji Xiuchuan predicted, there weren’t many Sixth-Tiers in Rock Armor Royal City, fewer than expected, only five!

However, on Rock Armor Royal City’s walls, there were as many as one hundred Fifth-Tieres and two thousand Fourth-Tiers arranged in a heavy military formation.

Ten Fifth-Tiers formed a small combat formation, with a hundred Fourth-Tiers as a combat formation.

Each small combat formation was equivalent to a Sixth-Tier’s combat power, defending the city walls, further assisted by five Sixth-Tiers menacingly watching from above, making it impossible for their small team to conquer, even if they fought to the last man!

”I’ll handle the siege; you disrupt their formations, and you all assault and slay on the walls. Yuchan, can you command?” Xu Jin asked.
