“At this time next year, if we really have to take the spaceship to go to a new planet, it is unknown how long we’ll be traveling for.

Your mother and I remember what you said. After reaching the master realm, the lifespan of humans will increase by two to three times. We don’t want to die of old age on the way there.”

Father Chen laughed and explained their current perspective.

Chen Yiming nodded.

He understood that Father Chen and Mother Chen did not want to be a burden to him. After all, there was a huge difference between escaping to deep space and staying on the blue planet.

This was the bond shared by a family. As long as they could understand it, there was no need to put it in words.

…

In the new year, with the completion of the first flight of the city-level spaceship, the impact on the citizens of the Daxia Kingdom was far-reaching.

Of course, the people supported the space plan to escape from the blue planet and head to a new planet even without any substantial results.

It was just that they did not have enough confidence in the plan. After all, the progress was too fast.

However, it was different now. With one city-level spaceship, there would soon be a second one. With a second one, there would soon be a third one. The pressure put on them by the black tide seemed to have been reduced by more than half.

Feng Wuji also sent back a message that the number of new mutant humans in the Daxia Kingdom had decreased greatly after the new year.

This proved that the seed of hope had begun to grow. Most of the people in the Daxia Kingdom were no longer afraid of the black tide.

In a wide area outside the southwest border defense line.

In the distant forest, the figures of mutant creatures appeared from time to time. In the distance, a large number of mutant creatures were gathering, and they were moving as a group.

In the distant forest, the figures of mutant creatures appeared from time to time. In the distance, a large number of mutant creatures were gathering, and they were vaguely moving over.

Chen Yiming looked at the 10 extraordinary cannons in front of him. These were second-generation products produced in collaboration with the Jiangnan Firearms Factory.

Compared to the first-generation extraordinary cannon, they had changed a portion of the barrel material, increasing the lifespan of the barrel to 10 shots.

“We can’t put it back together!”

Ye Jianyuan shouted in his heart with a pained expression.

A complete extraordinary weapon was destroyed just like that by Chen Yiming.

Other than the 10 core fragments that could be used to create the extraordinary cannons, none of the fragments were deemed unnecessary, and could be used in other aspects.

However, this was similar to the difference between loose change and a note. In terms of pure value, the note was undoubtedly many times more valuable. Coupled with the fact that it could not be pieced back together after being destroyed, any normal person would know what to choose.

“With these 10 extraordinary cannons, the mutant creatures that are constantly threatening the defense line should be brought to a stop.”

Chen Yiming nodded. He didn’t see the pained expression on Ye Jianyuan’s face.

To him, it would not be long before the spiritual figure’s swordsmanship talent upgraded again. At that time, even the shadow monster from back then would be considered an easy target for him to kill.

In the long term, there would definitely be no shortage of extraordinary weapons, unless the black tide creatures no longer descended on the blue planet.

When the surrounding elite disciples of the Myriad Phenomena Sect heard this, their hands itched.

They had been selected and sent to the military for special training for a period of time, and they had mastered professional artillery techniques. These 10 extraordinary cannons would be handed over to these elite disciples to fire later.

Not long after, there were faint tremors on the horizon. More and more mutant creatures had gathered, and no matter how many obstacles there were in between them, their numbers could no longer be hidden. Yellow dust rose everywhere.

An overwhelming killing intent surged over. If an ordinary warrior was still here at this moment, it would be like facing a tsunami alone.

At this moment, another group of elite disciples quickly returned from the forest. With a few leaps, they arrived in front of Chen Yiming’s group. The leader was Deputy Sect Master Shen Mengwei.

In just a few months, she had become the deputy sect master after just becoming an adult. Not only did no one in the Myriad Phenomena Sect, from the disciples to the court heads, object to this, but they also gave her their warmest applause.

The swordsmanship talent that Shen Mengwei had displayed was equivalent to Chen Yiming’s Level-2 swordsmanship talent. With the miracle blood, the full set of cultivation techniques, and the guidance of her seniors, her cultivation speed was not much slower than Feng Wuji’s.

She was improving almost every day, with an obvious transformation happening every week. Just like that, she broke through to the half-step master realm, becoming the second person in the Myriad Phenomena Sect to break through from the warrior realm after Chen Yiming.

She had a chance to explore the realms above the warrior realm just like Feng Wuji.

“After traveling for more than 100 kilometers, all of the mutant creatures that reached this area were killed. They have now entered a state of frenzy. The range of the affected mutant creatures is about 200 to 300 kilometers,” Shen Mengwei said.

Although her voice was a little soft, she had the aura of someone that was a half-step away from the master realm. The materialized spiritual power she unintentionally emitted affected her surroundings.

The group of elite disciples behind her felt it the most clearly. When the girl in front of them faced the mutant creatures, her behavior was not like the soft and cute girl in front of them now.

Chen Yiming said in a low voice, “It’s about time. Fire!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the elite disciples who were assigned as gunners rubbed their hands together, and their eyes filled with excitement.

The cannons in front of them were legendary firearms. They were comparable to the attacks of a martial master. How could they not be excited?

…

At a sentry post on the defense line, two soldiers in green military uniforms watched the commotion on the horizon nervously.

In a small area, there was a scene similar to 10,000 horses galloping. However, it was not horses that were attacking, but ferocious mutant creatures.

“Zhu Liang, if it wasn’t for the orders from the higher-ups to conduct the actual combat test for the extraordinary cannons today, I would definitely have to lean against the wall to support myself.”

“He Bin, why are you so timid? Looks like you have to go on a few more missions with the captain later to kill a few mutant creatures to build your courage.”

At this moment, Zhu Liang saw from the corner of his eye that He Bin was using half of his butt to lean against the frame of the binoculars. From his posture, a portion of his weight was supported by the frame.

Zhu Liang raised an eyebrow and thought to himself,?“If not for my sharp eyes, I would have been fooled by He Bin’s pretense. This is not just an attack happening on the mountain, but the mutant creatures within a range of 100 kilometers coming up to us to launch a concerted attack. It would be a lie to say that I’m not afraid.”

Of course, as his comrade, Zhu Liang was not so petty as to expose him on the spot. He took it that He Bin was just bragging.

They changed the topic.

“I heard that with the extraordinary cannons guarding the defense line, at least half of the people will be transferred to other places. Which places did you fill in?” Zhu Liang asked.

“I haven’t thought of it yet, but I’ll definitely fill in the ones closer to home. I wonder how lucky I will be this time,” He Bin said as he stared at the commotion on the horizon.

Zhu Liang nodded. “I also filled in a location close to home.”

Just as the two of them were chatting to ease their nervousness, countless waves of air suddenly spread out from the mountains.

A dull roar shook the entire forest. Even the sentries far away could feel the tremors.

“Did they shoot?” Zhu Liang asked in surprise.

He Bin was also shocked.

He almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted in time and used one hand to secretly hold on to the binoculars to stabilize his body.

Many people had a misconception that the soldiers on the battlefield had strong willpower, but in reality, that was impossible.

Facing the overwhelming attack from the mutant creatures, even though he knew that there would definitely be someone backing him up, his heart still pounded violently, and he was affected by the atmosphere on the battlefield.

Not long after, huge spinning energy balls lit up on the distant horizon. Lightning, wind blades, flames, and so on wreaked havoc on the entire battlefield.

“With this round of attacks, how many mutant creatures will be vaporized immediately?”

Zhu Liang’s eyes widened.

After seeing the power of the extraordinary cannons with his own eyes, it was indeed a powerful weapon on the battlefield. The power of each shot was terrifying.

The higher-ups really had the confidence to transfer half of the people away, not because they were short on manpower elsewhere.

At this moment, there was an uproar at the defense line. The first actual combat test of the extraordinary cannons had really refreshed everyone’s understanding of the cannons’ abilities.

Even though the Daxia Kingdom had made countless breakthroughs in the past half a year, such as the futuristic fighter jets, the New Era experimental ship, and the city-level spaceship, this shock was still able to move them.

There was once a saying: “The truth is only within the range of cannons.”

This had always been acknowledged by countless people before the invasion of the otherworld and the rise of martial arts. However, with the rise of warriors, the use of ordinary firearms became less and less effective.

Now that the extraordinary cannons had appeared, it seemed like this saying could be used again.

On the horizon, the mutant creatures were pressing forward step by step. Their gathered aura was like a tsunami that was directly broken up by the 10 cannons.

There was a short period of silence on the battlefield. Some of the mutant creatures were watching, while others began to retreat.

The reason was that the huge eye only controlled a few powerful mutant beasts and mutant humans who had a high enough status to indirectly control other mutant creatures.

It was not a true black tide creature that could make the mutant creatures fall into a state of madness and fight to the death without taking a single step back.

This strange atmosphere lasted for two to three minutes. Soon, the 10 cannons were fired for a second time, and the terrifying scene of lightning, flames, and wind blades wreaking havoc appeared on the horizon again.

At this moment, the aura gathered by the mutant creatures within a range of 200 to 300 kilometers finally collapsed.

“Alright! I’ll destroy the ‘small shield’ later and try to build another 10 extraordinary cannons.”

Chen Yiming stood with his hands behind his back and watched the effects of the two rounds of artillery fire.

Ye Jianyuan’s expression froze when he heard this. He was going to destroy another complete extraordinary weapon.
