Chapter 1226: The Red Gloves
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
In the evening, the Pineneedles Castle where Arkray Clan lived in was covered with flames that surged into the sky. People within dozens of miles could see that.
The castle of Renard Clan was in the core region of Arkray Island, which was also the traditional residential area of those time-honored major clans and rich businessmen. After Ewentra Autonomous Parliament was established, almost 1/6 of the total members of parliament came from this region.
Although there was more than one flame across Arkray Island at the same time, the abnormal situation in Pineneedles Castle was most attractive.
The surging flames were accompanied by muffled harrumphs and miserable shrieks of the guards and all those who dared resist in Renard Clan before death.
The high wall and thick and heavy gate of the outer castle of Pineneedles Castle didn't work at all. The collapse of the outer castle accelerated the extinguishment of the entire Renard Clan.
This was a precise, crucial, efficient and shocking massacre and destruction.
Those who executed this massacre were members of Order Jury of Ancient God Church.
The name Order Jury twisted the tongue; however, everybody across Sacred Iceland Kingdom knew red gloves.
Order Jury was an agency established by Ancient God Church in late years. Before Order Jury appeared, as the trade volumes between Ewentra Archipelago and Western Continent and the surrounding subcontinents surged, the pirates near Ewentra Archipelago and its surrounding sea area entered their heyday too. However, their heyday came to an end soon after the Order Jury was established.
The batches of heads of those powerful pirates that were exhibited on the citizen square of Arkray Island made red gloves of Order Jury well-known.
Many pirate organizations were exterminated, such as Mad Shark, One-Eyed Jack, Red Sea Monster, Storm Robber, Snake Fang, Black Pearl and Diamond Skeleton…
As those notorious, fierce and brutal pirates were constantly exterminated, the fame of red gloves of the Order Jury of Ancient God Church started to be well-known across Ewentra Sea Area.
All the people who had visited the heads of those pirates on the civic square of Arkray Island would never forget about the remaining, fearful and shocking expressions on the faces of those dead, ferocious and ugly pirates.
Since the Order Jury was established, everybody only had one impression about this agency; namely massacre, silent massacre.
All the pirates which once poured in the northern waters of Waii Subcontinent from all directions like sharks that smelt blood had either turned into corpses or scared too much. They dared never approach 3,000 miles within the waters of Ewentra Archipelago. Additionally, as long as those boats that left off Ewentra Archipelago hung the banner of Ancient God Church, they would not be disturbed by pirates anymore.
The red gloves of Order Jury had not appeared in Arkray Island for over 1 year. It was 1 year ago when the residents on Arkray Island heard the name of the Order Jury for the last time. At that time, Order Jury turned a tribe of over 60,000 barbarians into a dead land like Waii Subcontinent in the east of Sinira Island. The reason lay in that that barbarian tribe killed 2 black-robed clergymen and 1 acolyte of Ancient God Church in the east of Sinira Island.
Many barbarians in Sinira Island believed in Shamanism. The shamans and flamens of that barbarian tribe instigated their fighters to destroy a small church of Ancient God Church in Sinira Island out of animosity. The direct outcome was that the Order Jury of Ancient God Church appeared in Sinira Island and exterminated the entire barbarian tribe, leaving not even one baby.
Previously, arrogant barbarian warriors could be seen in all the harbors of Ewentra Archipelago. When doing businesses with barbarians, many Hua businessmen had suffered losses due to their rudeness. After the massacre, it seemed that all the arrogant barbarian warriors had disappeared while all the barbarians in Sinira Island became mannered.
After over 1 year, those red gloves reappeared in Arkray Island while the targets being judged became the Renard Clan.
The red gloves were in uniform. They all wore a black cloak, on which there was a church badge being embroidered with silver lines. Being round inside and square outside, the badge symbolized the creed of Ancient God Church. Besides, they all wore a pair of bloody gloves, a blank mask, a shirt and overclothes being made of silk and linen. Additionally, there was a chain armor outside the overclothes. Some red gloves were even carrying a metal book which was as thick as door plank and was filled with the words on the Eternal Book .
Those who carried a metal book on their back indicated that they aimed to be ascetics instead of pastors after passing the survival training in the grey palace. Those thick metal pages symbolized the gray granites that were exploited and carried back from the gray hills in Ice and Snow Wilderness to the gray palace. When they carried the thick metal book, it meant that they were always carrying the will of the Ancient God and in arduous training. Such red gloves were more terrifying. The greater the metal book on their back was, the more terrifying they would be. In usual times, the thick metal book was used to practice their body and will; however, in battle, the thick metal book could be used as a shield or a tool to cut through and destroy others' bodies. Those metal pages were always used together with a heavy hammer, which was in the shape of the heavy hammer that Zhang Tie once used and caused a great shock in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
Those red gloves were so powerful that they could kill enemies silently in a split second. Facing red gloves, the so-called most powerful guards and castle garrison of Renard Clan in Arkray Island fell down in rows, spraying blood in all directions. At the same time, their bodies split into pieces. All of them were cut through like ears of wheat in the field. This was how red gloves fought, also how Zhang Tie led Thor's Hammer to exterminate those demonized puppets in Eschyle City. Because only fragmented demonized puppets were dead for sure and would not pose any threat to alive people. This combat mode had been completely inherited by red gloves.
After breaking through the outer castle of Pineneedles Castle, red gloves entered the inner castle in the blink of an eye.
In the chaos, the guards of Renard Clan hurriedly closed the gate of the inner castle; however, the over 20 m high wall couldn't block the attack of the red gloves at all. Those red gloves in front used metal books to block the first batch of bolts that were shot down from the top of the gate; closely after that, those red gloves behind them rushed forward and stepped onto the hands of the red gloves ahead of them. Those red gloves in front of them then helped them fly onto the wall immediately…
Miserable shrieks and blood then started to spread over the top of the wall once again!
Chapter 1227: Judgment
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
In the bloody light and miserable shrieks on the wall of the inner castle, a tall red glove released a brilliant battle qi.
That red glove carried the biggest and heaviest metal book among all the red gloves. The brilliant battle qi formed a bloody protective battle qi over that red glove. After shattering the captain of the guards of Renard Clan by hammer, the red glove rushed out of the team from the back and came to the front of the gate of the inner castle. Closely after that, he roared while a battle qi in shape of a huge battle hammer flew out of his battle hammer and struck onto the gate of the inner castle irresistibly.
The gate of the inner castle was broken in a split second. At the same time, a lot of guards of Renard Clan lay down behind the gate while being inserted with sawdust and iron scurfs all over their bodies.
After breaking the gate of the inner castle, the red glove immediately raised his battle hammer and rushed into the gate through the big hole on it. In the blink of an eye, some guards who rushed towards him had been split into pieces.
The other red gloves also poured in from the broken gate. As a result, the inner castle was occupied by red gloves at once.
The inner castle of Pineneedles Castle was then filled with the cries of many women and kids at the same time.
"LV 15 battle spirit? Is this man Dark Saint Sebastian?"
Hags the clan head of sea bear tribe and Bishop Maxim slowly walked into the inner castle while being escorted by a lot of sea soul fighters of Sea Bear Tribe. At this moment, the ground of the inner castle had been covered with blood. The one who asked was Hags. The moment the two people entered the inner castle, they had seen how the red glove destroyed the defense of the inner castle in the north. Watching such a fierce, intrepid scene, even the clan head of the sea bear tribe quivered his eyebrows out of shock.
"Yes, this man is the head of Order Jury, Dark Saint Sebastian!" Bishop Maxim said calmly as he casually strode over a corpse of a guard whose upper body had been smashed like striding over a quagmire or a pile of lifeless sands without even changing his expression at all. Bishop Maxim let out a long sigh before saying, "Who could imagine that the dark giant of the former Order Jury of Norman Empire in Waii Subcontinent could find his spiritual destination and belief after exiling to Ice and Snow Wilderness. This is God's will!"
"God's will?"
"This is what Sebastian told me. He said that the Eternal Book injected a new soul into his soulless body and the immortal water in the immortal vase purified his bloody hands."
"With such a battle spirit on the back, unless knights, nobody across Arkray Island could threaten Arkray Island anymore!" Hags the clan head of sea bear tribe said casually; however, when he heard the miserable shrieks in the far, his heart pounded unconsciously.
'Previously, as the clan head of sea bear tribe, I was an influential figure in both Ewentra Archipelago Waters and Ice and Snow Wilderness. However, now, this youngest Bishop on my side has already ruled the entire Ewentra Archipelago parish and is on the equal footing with me in Ancient God Church although being not a knight. Additionally, that Dark Saint who's making a massacre in the far will promote to a knight sooner or later. They are new forces inside Ancient God Church outside bear tribes. In the future, with the further expansion of Ancient God Church, there would be more and more ambitious and mighty people like Maxim and Sebastian in Ancient God Church. When the first knight, the second knight even the first cardinal bishop appeared among these new forces, would the bear tribes over Ice and Snow Wilderness have the same position inside Ancient God Church? Would I and sea bear tribe still be that important in the eyes of that man?'
Ancient God Church's sphere of influence would never be limited to Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago Waters forever. Actually, since Ancient God Church rooted in Sacred Iceland Kingdom a few years ago, over 90% of the population across Sacred Iceland Kingdom had become the followers of Ancient God Church. These followers included sailors, businessmen, fighters, craftsmen etc.. Those sailors and businessmen who believed in Ancient God Church spread over due to the marine trade between Sacred Iceland Kingdom, the surrounding subcontinents and Western Continent. These followers would always carry Eternal Book wherever they were. When they came to those countries and religions which had a great tolerance for religions, they would spread the doctrine and legends of God's manifestations of Ancient God Church over there.
Eternal Book was magical. The God's manifestations that had been witnessed by tens of thousands of people were more shocking; especially in the holy war, when more and more people who were vacant about the future and started to look for their home of soul and a peaceful and tranquil life, everything about Ancient God Church became as brilliant as a torch in the dark, which could attract more and more people to charge at it desperately.
3 years ago, Hadela Glacier Crack in the south of Ice and Snow Wilderness had become the holy land when the first batch of people came there for pilgrimage from the Western Continent. From then on, more and more people came to Hadela Glacier Crack for pilgrimage from other countries on other continents and subcontinents. Over the past two years, due to the increasing number of pilgrims from Eschyle City to Hadela Glacier Crack, a golden commercial corridor had been established on this line. The cardinal elders' committee of Saint Petersburg was considering building a railway for pilgrimage from Eschyle City to Hadela Glacier.
In this situation, the position of Gray Palace was growing increasingly higher. Those holy vats on the square of the Grey Palace which could be worshiped and touched by people regardless of the weather in the past could only be touched by people who had passed the Grey Palace Practice on specific days now. As for the holy vases, they became the top treasure of the Ancient God Church…
Last year, some businessmen of Sacred Iceland Island had invested in building two palaces of Ancient God Church in Weese Commerce Business Alliance on the Western Continent and a harbor in Tanguang Subcontinent. The Grey Palace had already officially assigned a powerful halos bishop to each of the two palaces, who would be responsible for preaching and imparting the doctrine of Ancient God Church in the two places.
The transmission speed of religion and belief couldn't be measured in usual ways. What could match the transmission mode of religion was multi-level marketing in commerce. A powerful multi-level marketing organization could cover tens of millions of people in a few months. Nobody could imagine how would Ancient God Church's seeds in those subcontinents and on the Western Continent grow in a few years or 10 while being driven by those halos bishops who dreamed for being the 2nd even the 3rd Bishop Maxim.
Although Sacred Iceland Kingdom was limited in land and territory, the power of religion and belief was limitless and borderless.
Sacred Light Empire's expedition might not only be for avenging and occupying Sacred Iceland Kingdom, but it was also related to religion. Sacred Light Empire had already sensed the threat that Ancient God Church posed to Sacred Light Empire.
Bishop Maxim didn't know that the clan head of sea bear tribe and Hags, who were on the equal footing with him in Ancient God Church, could recall the current situation facing Ancient God Church and have a strong sense of crisis and urgency inside after hearing his words.
Hags had even predicted that Ancient God Church as a whole would welcome its heyday in a few years if Sacred Iceland Kingdom and Ancient God Church could tide over the coming catastrophe caused by Sacred Light Empire.
'Unless sea bear tribe and I become more and more important and irreplaceable in that man's eyes, sea bear tribe and I would finally be trivial in the entire system of Ancient God Church.'
In this world, all the abilities were replaceable, except for loyalty!
Watching the solemn longuette on Bishop Maxim which represented the identity of an archbishop, clan head Hags of sea bear tribe suddenly regretted that he didn't put on his longuette as an archbishop at this moment.
Like all the other clan heads of bear tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness, Hags only wore his longuette which indicated his identity of an archbishop when in Saint Petersburg or Grey Palace. As for these clan heads, if they admitted and advocated their identities in Ancient God Church in their own tribes, it was equal to strengthening the authority of Saint Petersburg and Grey Palace in their own tribes. These clan heads who had been accustomed to be the boss of their own clan couldn't adapt to it in a short period.
When Bishop Maxim and Hags, who were worried about something, entered the inner castle of Pineneedles Castle, they saw Dark Saint Sebastian fighting another LV 15 battle spirit.
Their sphere of range of their combat was very large. No red gloves or guards of Renard Clan dared approach them within 100 m.
The red gloves' strike was stagnated here for the time being.
"Who's that man?" Hags asked while narrowing his eyes.
That man who was fighting Sebastian had fully pale beard and hair in a loose robe which indicated that he might be in secluded cultivation when the battle started. However, that man's nose, chin and deep eye sockets were similar to Connar.
"This guy should be the former clan head of Renard Clan, also Connar's grandfather!" Maxim said slowly after looking at that person for a short while.
"No wonder Renard Clan dare rise in rebellion; it turns out that this old guy has already promoted to a battle spirit. If he continues to cultivate, he might be the first knight of Renard Clan in 10-20 years!" Hags shook his head, "Pitifully, this man's battle strength is a bit weaker than that of Dark Saint. If there's enough time, the battle would come to an end in a few hours…"
"The earlier the battle ends up, the less chaotic would Arkray Island be!" Maxim said while looking at Hags, "There're Renard Clan's members in the garrison of Arkray Island. If the garrison saw this situation, they might rise in rebellion!"
"My sea soul fighters wouldn't let the garrison of Arkray Island leave their camp. The battle here would come to an end soon!"
As Hags said, he flew towards the two people as fast as a lightning bolt…
It was a siege and slaughter; instead of a contest in the ring. After Hags joined the battle for 30 seconds, the former clan head of Renard Clan roared in grief and indignation before being punched into blood foam by Hags.
It was worth mentioning that Sebastian didn't withdraw from the battle in the entire process; instead, he attacked the former clan head of Renard Clan together with Hags. It seemed that nothing was more important than killing the opponent at the fastest speed in the eyes of this Dark Saint…
The red gloves finally entered the core region of Renard Clan.
…
The garrison in Arkray Island included 4,000 people. The encampment of the garrison was less than 6 miles away from Pineneedles Castle. When the flames in Pineneedles Castle shot into the sky, emergency clarino had drifted in the encampment of the garrison. In less than 5 minutes, when the garrison was ready to rush out of their encampment, they found that their encampment had been blocked by people.
It was 2,000 sea soul fighters of sea bear tribe who blocked the garrison.
Sea soul fighters were the elites of the sea bear tribe. Each sea soul fighter was at least LV 6 and had to grasp the skill of going berserk and the secret methods to control mutated sharks in the ocean. Being equal to the amphibious assault troop of sea bear tribe, sea soul fighters were the trump cards of sea bear tribe. Sea bear tribe could only get over 2,000 sea soul fighters. Besides a small part of them staying in the base of sea bear tribe, almost all the sea soul fighters had sallied forth in full strength in order to fight the expeditionary corps of Sacred Light Empire in the periphery of Ewentra Archipelago.
"At the order of the Cardinal Elders Committee in Saint Petersburg, sea bear tribe assist Bishop Maxim to wipe out rebels in Arkray Island. The garrison in Arkray Island couldn't leave your camp today!" General Shirokov of sea bear tribe said at the gate of the encampment of the garrison as he watched those officials in the garrison icily.
All the officials of the garrison changed their faces at the same time. Many officials turned their eyes onto the chief official of the garrison.
That chief officer who was being gazed looked gloomy. After looking at the flames in Pineneedles Castle, he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly all of a sudden, "Don't believe him. The garrison of Arkray island only follows the order of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament. Our duty is to protect Arkray Island from being violated by enemies…"
"This is the order of Ewentra Autonomous Parliament. They order you to stay in the encampment tonight…" Shirokov explained as he presented a prerogative order to the officials of the garrison of Arkray Island.
"Don't believe him, it's counterfeit…" That chief officer raised his head and shouted once again…
"Tsuang…" with a sound, Shirokov flashed towards that chief officer after drawing his sword blade out of his sheath. The officer felt something wrong as he hurriedly drew out his saber to resist him. In a split second, the sharp longsword broke the chief officer's saber like cutting off a club. When the chief officer widely opened his eyes, the saber had already slid over his neck, sending his head flying away while his blood spurted onto the face of Shirokov.
The brave man of sea bear tribe raised his longsword while widely opening his eyes out of fury. At the same time, he wiped out the blood over his face and roared towards the garrison, which shocked the entire encampment, "This sword was gifted by His Majesty in the parlor of the imperial palace of Saint Petersburg. His Majesty promised me to enter the imperial palace with this sword from then on. Who else wants to try my sword and die for those rebels?"
As Shirokov roared, all the 2,000 sea soul fighters released various battle qi totems, which was at least LV 6 black spider.
Watching this scene, none of the 4,000 people of the garrison dared move anymore.
…
"Renard Clan is over; many people are over!" Brightman the clan head of Wilis Clan said in a strange, quivering voice on the top of the wall of Wilis Clan's castle in Arkray Island although being escorted by so many clan warriors as he put down his telescope and watched the flames over 12 miles away, "It's red gloves…"
After hearing the words "red gloves", all the people on Brightman's side felt a chill on their spine; many people quivered unconsciously.
"Clan head, do we need to…" The steward suggested intensely on his side.
"No need!" Brightman's elegant face looked a bit pale; however, he recovered a bit composure, "If Bishop Maxim and those red gloves are targeting at us, it's useless for us to escape now. If even I could escape, what about the other members of Wilis Clan? The Act on the Mobilisation of the Duel in the conference hall was the last chance for Renard Clan to go ashore; however, Connar didn't catch that chance…"
"Clan head, red…red gloves…"
Soon after Brightman's words, a clan guard on his side had quivered all over for a second as he pointed at a walnut grove over 200 m away. A man in mask, cloak and red gloves walked out of the walnut grove with a metal book as thick as a door on his back as he watched those people on the top of the wall quietly.
That red glove just stood there and watched them quietly.
Under the quiet gaze of that red glove, all the members of Wilis Clan felt standing in the chilly wind in the nude on the top of the wall.
…
The gate of the Hall of Deliberation of Renard Clan was shattered. At the sight of those red gloves, Bishop Maxim and Hags behind those red gloves, Connnar and the other quivering parliamentary members in the Hall of deliberation had been scared too much that they even suffered from gatism 1 …
In front of absolute strength and whittle, any plot and conspiracy would become weak and ridiculous.
"Bi…Bishop Maxim, I…I'm just…" A parliament member stammered.
Connar revealed a pale smile as he asked, "Can…can you let those kids and women in the castle go?"
"As you've profaned the mercy and tolerance of His Majesty, what happened today was just a punishment to those blasphemers instead of being a slaughter. All the servants, maids and non-pregnant women who don't share the bloodline with Renard Clan could survive…" Bishop Maxim explained before he wove his hand forcefully…
…
That red glove gazed at the castle of Wilis Clan overnight. Although none of the people across Wilis Clan's castle fell down, everybody became flurried overnight.
Not until the sun rose in the next morning did the red glove return to the walnut grove like a shadow who disliked sunshine. At the same time, many people on the top of the wall of the castle of Wilis Clan collapsed to the ground…
Chapter 1228: A Long Rapid Flight
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie flew in the upper region of the stratosphere over 60 miles above the sea in Chaos at a high speed…
Zhang Tie had played his flight ability as a divine dominator to the utmost at this moment and reached 8 times the speed of sound in the air, namely about 2,800 m per second and almost 6,000 miles per hour.
A few months ago, when he had just developed the flight ability as a divine dominator in Xuanyuan Hill, he could at most reach 6 times the speed of sound in the air; however, after killing Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong, Zhang Tie promoted to the 4th realm of earth knight and gained a higher overall strength; especially after absorbing the spiritual energy of both Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong, Zhang Tie's spiritual energy bulged as he gained a greater flight ability as a divine dominator. He could fly at 8 times the speed of sound in air; actually, almost 9 times the speed of sound.
Such a flight speed was too shocking if it was exposed to the public.
Zhang Tie was accomplishing 3 tasks at the same time.
First, he controlled his altitude, speed and gesture.
Second, Zhang Tie searched over the sea with his lotus flower eyes. At such an altitude in the stratosphere, he could gain the best visual angle over the sea within 600 miles.
Third, Zhang Tie was constantly replenishing his spiritual energy using Thousands of Beads Mental Sutra in his mind.
It would cost him spiritual energy by using the flight ability of divine dominator. However, Zhang Tie's spiritual energy was too strong; additionally, he had grasped the secret method Thousands of Beads Sutra. Therefore, he could constantly replenish his spiritual energy using Thousands of Beads Sutra when in flight and maintained a relative balance in spiritual energy. In this way, he could greatly increase his flight ability.
According to the current situation, Zhang Tie found that he could maintain his spiritual energy unchanged if he kept flying at the speed 3 times that of the speed of sound while constantly replenishing his spiritual energy using Thousands of Beads Sutra. To a certain degree, he could absolutely fly for one year at the speed 3 times that of the speed of sound; namely, 3 times the speed of sound was his unlimited cruising speed in the sky.
By contrast, it would cost him a bit more spiritual energy by flying at the speed of over 8 times that of the speed of sound. The faster he flew, the greater spiritual energy he would consume. Thousands of Beads Sutra could only replenish about half of the total spiritual energy that he had consumed. Even so, Zhang Tie could still fly for a long time in the sky.
If he didn't replenish his spiritual energy, Zhang Tie could constantly fly about over 900,000 miles for about 7 days at his greatest speed. If he used Thousands of Beads Mental Sutra to replenish his spiritual energy when in flight, Zhang Tie could fly over 1.2 million miles for about 10 days at his greatest speed.
Zhang Tie left Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory the night before last. After over 30 hours' flight, Zhang Tie had flown almost 180,000 miles and arrived at the place over 6,000 miles away in the west of the northern waters of Waii Subcontinent, which led to the Western Continent.
After 2 days' constant flight, Zhang Tie gained a new gnosis about his flight ability as a divine dominator. He could better control his flight using the ability of divine dominator.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was covered by the Chaos which was of a strong killing intent as he was inspecting the waters below like an eagle that was hunting for its prey. After confirming the general action route of the expeditionary corps and fleet of Sacred Light Empire, Zhang Tie aimed to exterminate this enemy at the greatest speed and in the most vicious, directest, complete and decisive means before this expeditionary corps arrived at the waters of Ewentra Archipelago.
The overall strength of Sacred Light Empire was far greater than that of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie couldn't shock the entire country.
However, Zhang Tie could also win this war and prevent Sacred Iceland Kingdom from being violated by Sacred Light Empire.
Zhang Tie's method was very direct, namely, he wanted Sacred Light Empire to mistake that there was a shadow knight on the back of Sacred Iceland Kingdom.
Those pastors of Sacred Light Empire would never go against a shadow knight only for occupying Sacred Iceland Kingdom unless they were idiots. As long as they realized that there was a shadow knight on the back of Sacred Iceland Kingdom, they would never start the second expedition. The reason was simple. A billionaire would never snatch a bun at the risk of his life. If this bun was in the hand of a kid which could be easily snatched at a low risk so as to satisfy their appetite, Sacred Light Empire might not mind snatching it. However, now, the one who held this bun became a boorish fellow with a weapon. Would the billionaire snatch that bun at the risk of being stabbed for a few times?
How large was Sacred Light Empire? How large was Ice and Snow Wilderness? What was the population of Sacred Light Empire? What was the population of Ice and Snow Wilderness? The entire Sacred Light Empire had tens of billions of people; its territory was over 5 times that of Blackson Humans Corridor. However, the entire territory of Sacred Iceland Kingdom was only a bit more than 18 million square miles. The Sacred Iceland Kingdom was sharply dwarfed by Sacred Light Empire in both population and land.
How many major pastors and throne pastors would Sacred Light Empire spend only for such a sesame? Would the three supreme halos pastors in the three parishes of Sacred light Empire risk their lives only for Ice and Snow Wilderness?
It was impossible.
Sacred Light Empire had other opponents. Sacred Light Empire didn't get along well with the other major countries on the Western Continent.
Therefore, Zhang Tie had to cut off the claws that Sacred Light Empire stretched towards Ice and Snow Wilderness clearly and completely. Additionally, he needed to fabricate an illusion so that Sacred Light Empire felt that it was a powerful shadow knight, a mysterious shadow knight on the back of Sacred Iceland Kingdom who could beat up those jerk pastors of Sacred Light Empire and destroyed their ambitions.
Zhang Tie was not a shadow knight; however, his battle strength as a divine dominator could match that of a shadow knight to a certain extent.
The expeditionary corps of Sacred Light Empire only contained 2 throne pastors and 5 chief pastors. If Zhang Tie had just promoted to an earth knight, it would be a bit difficult for him to deal with such a combination; however, after killing Han Zhengfang, Zhang Tie was confident to deal with these knights.
Therefore, no matter what a great stress and chaos had Sacred Light Empire brought to Sacred Iceland Kingdom, Zhang Tie was not worried about that. As long as he had enough battle strength, he could turn crisis into opportunity. In Zhang Tie's opinion, it was a good opportunity for him to remove the external threats facing the Sacred Iceland Kingdom in a long period.
Zhang Tie only had one concern——Where's the enemy?
The sun had risen from the east and made Chaos and the clouds under his foot golden red. In the early sunlight, Zhang Tie finally caught sight of the huge fleet with the flag of Sacred Light Empire which was cleaving through waves over 600 miles away through the thin clouds.
That fleet was moving towards Ewentra Waters.
At the sight of this fleet, Zhang Tie knew that he had discovered his target. Therefore, Zhang Tie gazed at this fleet firmly in high-speed flight.
Gradually, many apertures like lotus flowers petals appeared in Zhang Tie's pupils one after another. After that, those apertures rotated at different speeds; some of them rotated in a clock-wise manner; some in an anti-clockwise manner. Additionally, those apertures were changing their sizes gradually…
With the rotation and change of those apertures in Zhang Tie's eyes, those warships over 600 miles away became increasingly clearer in Zhang Tie's eyes as if they were right under Zhang Tie's foot.
Zhang Tie immediately recognized the flagship of that fleet.
The flagship of that fleet was a huge ship which was longer than 500 m and heavier than 200,000 tons. Being surrounded by the other warships, this flagship was the largest one; additionally, the flagship flag, the 2 flags of throne pastors and 5 chief pastors on the mast of the huge ship also exposed its identity.
Zhang Tie gazed at the flagship with his lotus-flower eyes at once; at the same time, the two lotus-flower shaped apertures in his eyes rotated while the pink apertures turned into pale blue. The huge flagship then became transparent at once. Zhang Tie could see clearly the inside of the huge flagship. Many sailors were going upstairs and downstairs inside the flagship as if they were busy walking in a transparent glass boat. There were many materials on the huge ship. About 30,000 fighters of Sacred Light Empire were living in the cabins in the middle and lower floors of the flagship. The captain and some officials of that flagship were observing the sea by the telescope in the command room at the prow. In a luxurious room on the highest floor of the flagship, 7 people were enjoying breakfast…
5 of the 7 people wore the same clothes as that of the chief pastor of Sacred Light Empire that Zhang Tie had killed previously——they were in a high golden crown and a robe which was embroidered with suns, moons and stars. By contrast, the other 2 people's robes were brighter while more patterns on their robes represented brightness…
'I got you!' Zhang Tie muttered as he triggered a super hiding rune and a super rapid-moving rune. Closely after that, his speed surged once again as he flashed towards that flagship…
Chapter 1229: Chief Pastors
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The 2 throne pastors and 5 chief pastors from the eastern parish of Sacred Light Empire were enjoying their breakfast on the highest floor of the Honor Flagship of the expeditionary corps of Sacred Light Empire…
2 throne pastors were sitting on the two ends of the long dining table; 3 chief pastors were sitting on the left side of the table while the rest 2 chief pastors were sitting on the right side.
A lot of golden dining wares were put on the snow-white velvet tablecloth. Fresh deer blood being immersed in top-class fire-dragon crystals inside the golden goblets which were embedded with gems still carried a bizarre heat…
Sacred Light Empire was a terrifyingly hierarchical country. When there were 2 throne pastors at present, all the other 5 chief pastors could only have breakfast quietly and solemnly and listen to the talk between the two throne pastors even though they were knights. They were forbidden to talk unless the throne pastors asked them to do that.
"The deer blood from the fetus of female deer is most nourishing. I'm really not accustomed to eating a breakfast without any deer fetus' blood…" A slightly fat 60-odd throne pastor slightly shook his head and commented on this breakfast.
After drinking the deer fetus blood, the throne pastor's lips were covered with scarlet blood; compared to the snow-white delicate skin on his face, he looked a bit terrifying.
"Pitifully, the climate of Sukbi Island is not suitable to breed David's deer. Additionally, some female deer that we've replenished in Lexinton Harbor have died on the way as they were not suitable to long-distance shipping…" Another throne pastor let out a sigh.
Compared to the first throne pastor, this throne pastor looked elder and thinner. He looked like an old tree which had lost its water for a long time. The loose robe seemed to hang on clothes stand being made of withered twigs. When he stretched out his hand, it looked like a claw that stretched out of a tomb. The bulged blood vessels, meridians and tendons beneath his grey skin were clung to his bones. Those finger rings made of eternal stones seemed like sliding off his fingers at any time.
Anyone who saw this person could feel that this person's vitality was constantly elapsing. If it were another person, they must have long died. Zhang Tie really wondered how he could still be alive and how long had he lived.
That throne pastor who was like a withered old tree threw an admiring and jealous glance at that young throne pastor in the opposite. After that, he scooped up a ladle of golden caviar and sighed, "Thankfully, the caviar of starlight sturgeons are nice. Sukbi Island's seabird eggs are fresh too. On the ocean, they are rare yummy food and could provide us with sufficient life energy…"
"The God says that the source and secret of life lie in the embryos of lives. As God's spokesman on the ground, of course, we're qualified to enjoy the food…"
"We could only wait for the time being. When we arrive at Ice and Snow Wilderness, all the problems would be solved…"
"Whatever, it's just a small place!" The throne pastor whose skin was as delicate and smooth as a girl laughed as he said scornfully, "But I was told that Peter Hamplester is interesting. He fabricated some God's manifestations so as to convince those secular pioneers and Slavs and became famous among them…"
As for these rulers of Sacred Light Empire, nobody in this world knew God's Manifestations better than them. Now that they could reach such high positions, they must have manifested some God's wills so as to indicate that they were "favored" by the God. Sacred Light Empire had been tired of the most usual manifestations of God's wills such as "statue drops off tears", "identity appeared in one's dream and made a request", "resurrection" and "apocalyptic wisdom". Each year, these God's wills would always be manifested in the three major parishes of Sacred Light Empire in various forms. In those smaller parishes, if the pastors were capable and got along well with the superiors, their superiors would even assign people to support them by providing them with a space-teleportation equipment. Those rustic ones would definitely be shocked by the so-called manifestations of God's wills which were made with the help of portable space-teleportation equipment on some special occasions.
In Sacred Light Empire, obscurantism was a basic national policy. If not reach a certain high class, people could barely touch much knowledge. Take space-teleportation equipment as an instance, space-teleportation equipment could be talked casually in any other countries; however, in Sacred Light Empire, only when a pastor reached a certain class could he touch such a sort of knowledge and talk about it in private occasions. Space-teleportation equipment had another name in Sacred Light Empire——Sacred Item. In this world, all the sacred items were invented by Sacred Light God and were the certificates of the existence of Sacred Light God. This was the "standard knowledge" of space-teleportation equipment in the divinity schools of Sacred Light Empire.
"Lord Mofie, are you interested in Peter Hamplester?"
"I'm interested in those vats of Ancient God Church. My courtyard lacks some containers for watering flowers!" The young throne pastor threw a glance at that elder throne pastor as he said casually, "I was told that Peter Hamplester's kids have their specialties. Those kids are still virgins. I think their blood must contain greater life energy…"
The elder throne pastor's eye light suddenly turned as sharp as a blade as it stabbed onto the face of the young throne pastor. It seemed that the young throne pastor had not noticed that as he just had food and drunk another mouth of deer fetus blood before continuing, "I think Lord Miller must be thirsty about those kids' blood. I don't mean to compete with Lord Miller for them. As for the others…"
"At my age, nothing is meaningful for me except those which could make me younger!" The elder throne pastor said after letting out a sigh.
The young pastor burst out into laughter as he raised his golden glass and said, "Then, hope we have a pleasant cooperation…"
"I'm old, Lord Mofie would definitely have a bright future in the eastern parish!"
The two people clinked their glasses in the air before bottoming up the fresh deer blood.
In the breakfast, the two generals of the expeditionary army of Sacred Light Empire had already reached an important agreement and compromise. They accomplished the division of the most important booties on the Sacred Iceland Kingdom at the dining table. They didn't feel it was improper. This expedition was more like a brilliant armored trip for the two people. Besides the tedious atmosphere on the ship, it was nothing different than having a vacation. Because they had already known that no force across Ice and Snow Wilderness could resist them according to their intelligence.
However, as the expeditionary fleet gradually approached to the Ewentra Archipelago Waters, even though the expeditionary fleet was not afraid of having any head-on collision with the Sacred Iceland Kingdom, they should be precautious. Those heads of this expeditionary fleet mainly talked about how to prevent from the emergencies in the breakfast.
After reaching an agreement on how to divide the spoils, the two major characters felt good. Therefore, they started to discuss the possible problem that they might face.
"It's said that Peter Hamplester was a bit tricky. According to the intelligence, he might be a very powerful animal controlling master and could control a powerful huge deep-sea monster…"
"Huge deep-sea monster could only threaten those below knights. As long as any one of the 7 knights in our fleet launched a strike, Peter Hamplester's huge deep-sea monster would just be a piece of flesh in the plate of our fighters. It's said the flesh of huge deep-sea monster is also very nourishing!"
"There're some disgusting flies on sharks outside our fleet. They're fighters of sea bear tribe from Ice and Snow Wilderness. From today on, we should have people wipe them out each day. Don't let those flies have our spirits dampened. As for knights, this should be an amusement in this boring trip!"
"Huck can do that today. Later on, each chief pastor would be on duty one day by turns. Before our fleet arrives at the Ewentra Archipelago waters, we should maintain our deterrence; otherwise, those hicks in Ice and Snow Wilderness would really think that we're here for a cruise!"
"Yes, Lord!"' After hearing his name, one knight instantly cleaned his mouth as he stood up and replied loudly, "I will do that right now. But I have another question. Although these flies could be easily wiped out, what about those merchant ships on the sea? The traces of our fleet would be exposed by those merchant ships every day. It's said that the chamber of commerce on the side of Sacred Iceland Kingdom provides 500 gold coins for each intelligence regarding our fleet. Two lords, do you think we should send those merchant ships to the bottom?"
The young throne pastor looked at the elder throne pastor. After being silent for a short while, he replied, "Most of those merchant ships came from the Western Continent. If we send them to the bottom, some countries would find an excuse for interfering with our action. They might be waiting for that. What do you feel, Lord Miller?"
Before the old throne pastor opened his mouth, Zhang Tie's thunder-like strike had arrived…
Chapter 1230: More Powerful than a Shadow Knight
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie moved too fast. After triggering his super rapid-moving rune, Zhang Tie's speed had reached above 3,000 m per second. Additionally, his qi was completely hidden with the effect of super hiding rune. With such multiple effects, not until Zhang Tie's thunder-like strike arrived at the heads of these heads of the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire did they realize what happened.
Zhang Tie moved so fast that those throne pastors and chief pastors of Sacred Light Empire didn't even have time to make too many movements.
It was out of the imagination of the 7 people in the room that someone dared raided them on the vast ocean.
The dining room was on the highest floor of the flagship. This floor was the fixed resting site of these dignified major pastors. In the strictly hierarchical country, the more influential the figures were, the higher they would live, the closer they approached to the sky and the Sacred Light God on the boat. The higher one's position was, the higher his social status would be and the closer he would be to the deity's realm. This was the life's philosophy of the bigwigs of Sacred Light Empire. Of course, those who were inferior to them couldn't have a pee or shit on their heads; otherwise, they would be sentenced to death for profaning the superiors in Sacred Light Empire.
Because these people were on the highest floor of the flagship, Zhang Tie only needed to penetrate through the roof of the flagship which was as fragile as a piece of paper in his eyes while the power of his battle qi wouldn't even decline by 1/100.
As he wanted an overwhelming effect, Zhang Tie used his most powerful silver secret item 6.8-ton heavy Thor's Hammer, the same one that he used to attack Han Zhengfang.
As the Thor's Hammer carried the effect of shattering strike and lightning damage, it was suitable to this large-range strike.
Zhang Tie swore that he had not imagined about the effect of this strike.
This hammer not only punched onto the head of Sacred Light Empire which was going to invade the Sacred Iceland Kingdom but also knocked open a gate that led to a wholly new world of cultivation.
When the building on the top floor of the flagship touched the Thor's Hammer which moved at 10 times that of the speed of sound, Zhang Tie's knight's consciousness also reached its upper limit. At this moment, everything around him turned slow…
At this moment, the hard metal building on the top floor of the flagship turned into calm water level. What made Zhang Tie amazed was that the huge hammer seemed like falling onto tranquil mirror-like water in his knight's consciousness. Zhang Tie didn't see the earth-shaking scene; instead, he saw ripples spreading over from the metal structure on the top of the building…
Zhang Tie felt like throwing a stone into water or attacking an illusionary shadow on the water.
There were 7 knights; instead of shadow in the dining room.
Zhang Tie's huge hammer covered all the 7 knights with his berserk battle qi; meanwhile, it carried out an indiscriminate attack.
At this moment, time seemed to be still. Even the two earth knights who had the fastest reactions had not fully released their protective battle qis.
A faint, dumbfounded look froze on the faces of the two throne pastors of Sacred light Empire…
The first item that penetrated through the 7 knights' bodies was not Zhang Tie's Thor Hammer, but those broken pieces of the building materials on the top of the dining room. Most of those building materials were metals; a few of them were broken hard crystals and glasses. All of them had turned into fine pieces and sands and felt onto the 7 knights' heads and bodies as dense as raindrops…
Whatever, they were not raindrops, but tens of thousands of sharp and hard fine objects that moved at 10 times the speed of sound. Even a trivial crystal or glass piece would be more powerful than the most powerful anti-material sniper weapon and the most powerful city-defense steam weapon in this age. Because none of the initial velocities of the bullets that were shot out of that anti-material sniper weapons and those honeycomb-type city-defense steam equipment could reach 10 times that of the speed of sound in the air.
Such a ferocious strike was equal to a close shoot within a few meters by numerous powerful weapons. In a split second, those knights' bodies were penetrated through and wounded by so many high-speed fine solid particles while their brilliant robes became as shabby as the clothes of beggars…
It was only the first damages caused by Zhang Tie's strike.
Closely after that, the "ripple" spread over the air. After being compressed by Zhang Tie's strike, the air started to sweep over the room in form of invisible impact wave at a speed which was far greater than the speed of sound, breaking the dining table and all the luxurious and delicate food on the table into pieces…
After being compressed, the super-sonic impact wave swept over the 7 knights' bodies at the same time, tearing open the wounds on their bodies once again. Those major pastors spurted out blood at once while the shabby robes were completely shattered. As a result, those major pastors were almost naked…
At this moment, all the knights' responses could be calculated by milliseconds even microseconds. It was not excessive to describe their responses with the speed of lightning bolt.
Being collided by the high-speed solid particles and the super-sonic air impact wave, commoners would have long been killed. However, those knights of Sacred Light Empire were just injured by that. Even two black iron knights were just severely injured after their heads were penetrated through by iron sands. At this moment, the instinctive responsive speeds of knights were even greater than that of the knights' consciousnesses.
The 2 throne pastors and 5 chief pastors roared at the same time with bloody eyes as they all punched towards the sky at their full efforts…
Zhang Tie's Thor's Hammer touched 6 fists and 8 palms at the same time…
The 6 fists and the 8 palms were broken at the same time; closely after that, the 7 heads were shattered; additionally, the 7 knights' bodies turned into bloody mist; then the entire room was broken into pieces.
Even Zhang Tie was shocked by such a result. Previously, Zhang Tie thought that his first strike could at most kill 2-3 black iron knights. It was out of his imagination that all the 7 knights in the room could be collapsed so easily. Zhang Tie even doubted whether they were knights…
The moment Zhang Tie's Thor Hammer touched the 7 knights, Zhang Tie had sensed that his Thor��s Hammer carried a far greater terrifying power than that he could imagine.
'What's wrong? Even if I exert my full effort, I could not have such a great power. But there are 2 earth knights and 5 black iron knights. How could they be killed so easily? My Chaos has not been used.' Zhang Tie was shocked inside. However, he had no time to think too much about that. As he had exerted his full effort, he didn't mean to stop at all. Therefore, with the great inertia of the Thor's Hammer, Zhang Tie penetrated through that room and fell down…
The steel decks were penetrated through like fragile paper and noodles, sending greater "ripples" and super-sonic impact waves in all directions…
After constantly penetrating through over 20 floors of steel decks of the flagship, Zhang Tie and his hammer entered the sea. They didn't stop until they reached over 3,000 m in the sea, causing a great vacuum space in the sea…
As for the other warships of Sacred Light Empire, the disaster just happened in front of them without any omen.
In the sunny day, the flagship of Sacred Light Empire was completely penetrated through by Zhang Tie in less than 0.1 second…
The directest effect of this strike was thousands of meters deep, great hollow on the ocean. The 20-ton flagship of Sacred Light Empire directly broke into halves. The part of the flagship above water was completely shattered while numerous steel components swept over the sea level within 5,000 m with the initial speed of almost 10 times that of the speed of sound like intensive bullets that were fired by cannons.
The 8 battleships which were protecting the flagship within 600 to 1.2 miles were damaged by those steel bullets firstly…
Closely after that, those compressed seawater around the flagship filled into the great thousands of meters deep hollow in the ocean under the effect of the great counter-effect. In a split second, a billow and tsunami higher than 100 m swept over the huge flagship in an overwhelming manner…
���My God…" A captain of a merchant ship which hung a flag of a country on the Western Continent over 70 nautical miles away exclaimed at the sight of the 100 m higher tsunami and a billow. Closely after that, his hands quivered and face turned pale as his telescope fell onto the ground…
Chapter 1231: Zhang Tie's Doubt
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
In less than 2 minutes, the waters around the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire had been in a mess while the entire fleet was in great disaster…
When the flagship broke off, exploded and sunk, the 2 throne pastors and 5 chief pastors along with tens of thousands of elites and all the sailors were killed. Facing such a terrifying power, all the people had been killed before they realized what happened, except for the 7 knights who struggled for a second before death…
Tens of thousands of steel pieces swept over the surrounding 8 battleships in a terrifying, high speed. Even a metal water faucet could easily penetrate through the armor of a battleship and cause a severe damage to the battleship.
After the steel pieces swept over, all the parts above the decks of the 8 battleships were in a mess. Some big holes appeared on the parts below the water of 4 battleships. The diameter of the biggest hole was over 2 m. The keel of a battleship was broken by a steel piece which weighed hundreds of kilograms. With jarring sound caused by twisting steel, this battleship started to sink…
The battleship was filled with cries and wails and badly mutilated bodies…
Many steel pieces even affected the warships in the periphery. Before people responded, the 100 m high billow had swept over…
2 minutes later, only 3 of the 8 battleships were still on the sea. 2 of the 3 had been capsized and were sinking; 1 had lost its driving force and was floating on the sea like a dead fish…
Almost half of the 20-odd troopships and 5 depot ships had been capsized by the huge billows.
The sailors and fighters on the capsized troopships and depot ships were scrambling for lifeboats and life jackets. Those who had fallen into the water were thrashing water by arms in order to escape away from the turbulence caused by the sinking ships…
Those survivors still didn't know what happened until now…
With another boom, a boiler in the power room at the stern of a troopship suddenly exploded. Nobody knew whether it was damaged by the steel pieces or maloperation. In the boom, the stern of the troopship started to shink; at the same time, its prow started to raise while the crew was jumping off the deck flurriedly like putting dumplings in boiling water. Those pastors and officials on the troopship were scrambling for the only life boats on the ship by saber and sword.
…
At this moment, Zhang Tie was deep in water.
Not until the two halves of the 200,000-ton huge flagship reached thousands of meters deep in the sea on Zhang Tie's side did Zhang Tie recover his composure.
Zhang Tie was stunned by his strike as he was thinking about the reason.
The turbulence and downward suction brought by the wreck of the huge flagship seemingly wanted to drag Zhang Tie to the depth of the ocean; however, Zhang Tie could completely ignore such a trivial suction. Zhang Tie moved his eyes and threw the final glance at the wreck. After swearing, he accelerated upwards and shot out of the water; he didn't stop until he arrived at 1,000 m high above the sea.
At the sight of the messy scene over the waters, Zhang Tie's heart pounded once again as he muttered, 'Damn, that's too exaggerated!'
Zhang Tie scratched his head unconsciously. Not until his metal glove touched the metal helmet of his Chaos did he realize that he was still in Chaos.
Given the current messy situation, the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire couldn't even match a drowning dog. Zhang Tie even doubted that these survivors could arrive at Ewentra Archipelago waters by the rest ships. If these people really dared come to Ewentra Archipelago in such a poor look, they were definitely treating themselves as refugees.
Facing such a situation, Zhang Tie didn't feel like attacking them once again. If Zhang Tie wanted to launch the second round of strike, he could kill all of them. However, it was not Zhang Tie's style to kill these little fish and shrimps who couldn't threaten the Sacred Iceland Kingdom at all; otherwise, it was not a war, but a meaningless brutal slaughter.
If they were demons, Zhang Tie would wipe them out without any hesitation; however, Zhang Tie was still soft-hearted about humans. Even though the management and chief pastors of Sacred Light Empire were b*stards, it didn't mean that all the people in this country deserved to die…
After throwing the final glance at the scene below, Zhang Tie triggered his flight ability as a divine dominator. With a sonic boom, Zhang Tie immediately broke the sound speed and flew far away…
On the remaining ships and the sea, more than one official and pastor of Sacred Light Empire was watching Zhang Tie flashing away in the sky with pale and scared looks. Their ambition about convincing the Sacred Iceland Kingdom was shattered in a split second like soap bubbles in the sunshine being blown onto the twigs…
…
Zhang Tie just maintained 3 times the speed of sound.
After killing 7 knights of Sacred Light Empire and completely destroying the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire, Zhang Tie didn't feel the pleasure of triumph. To be honest, Zhang Tie was still muddle-headed and felt like having a dream until now.
This result was out of his imagination!
In Zhang Tie's plan, the 2 throne pastors were his next two target customers for "purgatory samsara". After absorbing the water chakras of the two throne pastors, Zhang Tie might promote to the 5th earth realm.
However, the two earth knights just turned into blood foams in front of Zhang Tie. It was like a pile of water elements running away themselves. Zhang Tie felt so pitiful and wasteful. 'What a shame!'
All the other 5 chief pastors were also killed in a split second without even leaving a f*rt. Under Zhang Tie's blow, all the 7 major pastors who were having breakfast and pretending to be something in the dining room were killed at once. Therefore, Zhang Tie's illusion of catching some major pastors and teleporting them into Castle of Black Iron so as to have Heller brainwash them fall through once again.
According to Zhang Tie's plan, even if he had to kill some knights, he could at least keep half of them alive and had Heller brainwash them so as to live up to his performance.
But now, nothing was left.
Of course, Zhang Tie was not happy about this result.
When he recalled why those major pastors were "lost", Zhang Tie realized the terrifying power of his hammer; therefore, Zhang Tie became excited once again unconsciously. That blow was still leading up to meaningful afterthoughts until now. He felt that he was favored by the God. 2 earth knights and 5 black iron knights were wiped out in a split second. Zhang Tie was also fascinated by the powerful feeling. He felt that he had done something great unconsciously as if he had pushed over a wall and entered an unprecedented realm.
'How could my blow be that powerful?' Zhang Tie was confused.
Being in the disappointed, excited, fascinated and confused state, Zhang Tie flew over 900 miles away from the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire in less than half an hour.
An isle with a towering mountain peak in the center covering dozens of square miles entered Zhang Tie's vision.
'No, I have to figure it out. How could my hammer be that powerful?' Zhang Tie was increasingly doubtful about that.
Previously, Zhang Tie planned to fly towards the Sacred Iceland Kingdom after wiping out the expeditionary fleet of Sacred Light Empire; however, he was not anxious about that. If not figure out this question, Zhang Tie wouldn't feel like eating and sleeping.
Watching the isle at his foot, Zhang Tie teleported his grim Chaos into Castle of Black Iron and revealed his original look. After that, he directly landed on the mountain peak in the center of that isle.
There was nobody in this isle. It was a cliff beneath the highest point of the mountain peak. Beneath the cliff, there were nestles of a huge flock of sea-mews. A forest was beneath the mountain peak, which extended all the way to the beach 4-5 miles away. Sea waves were beating the beach. An area of pitch dark reefs extended several miles away in the ocean from the beach…
This was an unpopulated isle. Grains couldn't be planted in a large area in the isle. Even a big warship couldn't berth here. Being alone in the ocean, it could only be a landmark on the ocean. Nobody else would come here except for Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie sat down with crossed legs on a clean, huge rock on the top of the mountain peak. After breathing the fresh air, listening to the cheery twitters and watching the white lines when sea waves lashed the beach and reefs constantly for a short while, Zhang Tie's consciousness gradually turned vacant while his distracting thoughts gradually faded away…
Chapter 1232: The Secret of the Terrifying Kinetic Energy
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
'Is that unknown powerful attribute carried by this silver secret item?'
'No!'
'Were all the 7 knights of Sacred Light Empire counterfeits?'
'No!'
'Was the 20-ton flagship of Sacred Light Empire made of paper?'
'No!'
'Was it a fortune and coincidence?'
'Of course not!'
…
All the amazing, unimaginable events or problems went back to briefness.
In many occasions, briefness was everlasting, truth and the final orientation of the problem.
After listening to the cries of sea-mews for half an hour on the top of the mountain peak, Zhang Tie opened his eyes. His eyes didn't contain any perplexed eye light anymore; instead, they were giving out bizarre light. Behind the bizarre light was the gate leading to another world.
After removing all the impossible reasons, Zhang Tie had already got the answer to that question.
The terrifying power of Thor's Hammer was only determined by his fast speed and the weight of Thor's Hammer.
It was not a sophisticated question; however, Zhang Tie had not imagined that the answer could be so simple. The teacher of mechanics class in No. 7 male middle school had already instructed him of the reason.
The answer to this question was simple. Even a junior middle school student knew the formula, half of an object's mass multiplied by two times that of its moving speed led to the kinetic energy of this object!
'Kinetic energy! Yes, it's kinetic energy! The unit of kinetic energy is kg⋅m/s! This is a simple physics commonplace that was accepted by humans before the Catastrophe.'
'Thank God, after this Catastrophe, many things have changed; however, this simple kinetic energy formula remained unchanged. It's still a part of the general laws of this world.'
Because this formula was simple, it was ignored. Even Zhang Tie had not imagined the relationship between this simple knowledge and his terrifying blow.
'Before I launched my strike, my flight speed was 3487 m/s, which was a bit greater than that of 10 times the speed of sound.' This was the speed sensed by Zhang Tie's knight's consciousness.
'The Thor's Hammer weighs 6.8 tons, namely 6,800 kg; my Chaos weighs 600 kg; along with my own body, it totally weighs 7,486 kg. Half of 7,486 is 3,743; two times my moving speed is 12,159,169. Therefore, my kinetic energy at that moment was 45,511,769,567 Joules.
'What's the meaning of 45,511,769,567 Joules?'
'According to my mechanics' teacher, if a crossbow's kinetic energy was greater than 100 Joules, it couldn't be displayed or carried in some places as it would kill people. This is also the regulation that Andaman Federation used to judge whether a crossbow could be used as a weapon or not. Many countries across Waii Subcontinent have the same regulation. The lowest standard for the kinetic energy of crossbow weapon is 100 Joules. Some countries might even take 90 Joules or 110 Joules as the lowest standard for the kinetic energy of crossbow weapons. No matter what, no country would take crossbow weapons whose kinetic energy was 200 Joules as toys.
'The kinetic energy of a light crossbow, such as that excellent "Irongate T21" that Fattie Barley carried to attend the survival training is about 800 Joules. The kinetic energy of a medium-sized crossbow could reach about 2,000 Joule. The so-called heavy crossbow's kinetic energy could reach at least 4,000 Joule. Some single pawn heavy crossbows' kinetic energy could reach 10,000 Joules. City-defense steam ballista's kinetic energy could reach over 50,000 Joule. The kinetic energy of more powerful steam centrifugal ballista could reach at least 2 million Joule.'
'What about the kinetic energy of my blow?'
'Over 45 billion Joules. This explained why my strike could be so powerful.'
'The shocking effect was caused by three reasons; first, also the most important reason lay in my terrifying kinetic energy; second, the shattering and lightning damage effects attached by the Thor's Hammer; third, my strength and the power of battle qi. Only with the three strengths could I shatter the 7 knights of Sacred Light Empire and cause such a terrifying destructive effect.'
Zhang Tie thought it through at once as he stood up with a bit excited look. A wholly new world was then pushed open by Zhang Tie silently.
After standing up, Zhang Tie threw another glance at the current scenery.
The mountain and the sea were as same as that he saw half an hour ago. A flock of pure white sea mews was hovering under the cliff. The sun had just risen up for a short while.
Nothing in front of his eyes changed; however, they were already different in Zhang Tie's mind. From the perspective of kinetic energy, the mountain's kinetic energy was zero, the sea mew's kinetic energy was greater than that of the mountain; the kinetic energy of the sea wave was greater. The sun above his head had the greatest kinetic energy. The trace of the sun was like a brilliant avenue that hung over the sky…From a certain perspective, this was a world composed of kinetic energies.
Zhang Tie immediately entered Castle of Black Iron and appeared in the palace tree of Castle of Black Iron.
…
"Castle Lord…" Edward hurriedly bowed towards Zhang Tie when he saw Zhang Tie in the lobby of the palace tree.
"Leave me alone. I'm thinking about something!"
Zhang Tie soon came to the palace under the small tree. Without even throwing a glance at the fruits on the small tree, he had sat down with crossed legs. At the same time, he closed his eyes and triggered the trouble-reappearance situation of Xuanyuan Hill. Closely after that, he entered his own Xuanyuan Hill once again.
Edward scratched his head as he didn't know why Zhang Tie was so anxious. The moment he walked out of the lobby of the palace tree, he had seen Heller going downstairs.
"Is Castle Lord back?"
"Yes, Castle Lord said that he wanted to stay alone!" Edward said respectfully.
Heller waved his hand as he replied, "Fine, I see, mind your own business!"
Edward then left. Heller came to the lobby of the palace tree casually. Standing far away, he watched Zhang Tie who was completely in the trouble-reappearance situation under the small tree.
Heller seemingly let out a long sigh before muttering, "Woah, Castle Lord, you finally reached this step. If you still didn't understand which step you reached until today, I even want to remind you directly. It seems that those jerk pastors of Sacred Light Empire are still useful. After grasping the secret of the power of kinetic energy, Castle Lord should have been clear about your strengths and cultivation orientation. Only such a future is promising!"
After muttering for a short while, Heller revealed a smile. After throwing another glance at those fruits over the small tree, he left the lobby of the palace tree. Heller knew that Zhang Tie might not exit the trouble-reappearance situation in a short period; otherwise, Zhang Tie would not enter trouble-reappearance situation right after returning to Castle of Black Iron.
Of course, Heller could guess what Zhang Tie wanted to do.
…
Zhang Tie still appeared in the manor of Lord Guangnan in Xuanyuan Hill. Like usual, the LV 9 demon fighter's limbs were broken and thrown away by Zhang Tie once again. Closely after that, Zhang Tie grabbed the metal candlestick and flew towards a conspicuous building in the distance.
In less than 10 seconds, Zhang Tie had come to the gate of that conspicuous building along with the loud sonic booms. After dropping off the metal candlestick, he entered the 50-m higher gate.
That building was the Library of Xuanyuan Hill. This library was the largest database of humans as of now, which contained hundreds of millions of materials and books. This library collected many materials before the Catastrophe. Last year, Bai Suxian showed him around here. In the underground of this library, there was the largest difference engine array in this age.
When he came here last year, this library was bustling. The materials in this library were classified. Only people with the corresponding class could have the access to some materials. Some materials could only be inquired by the officials of Taixia Country. Even Bai Suxian couldn't read whatever she wanted here.
By contrast, Zhang Tie was the only person in the entire library. All the guards and staff in the library had disappeared. It completely became Zhang Tie's private place.
Last year, Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian were not qualified to enter the inquiry zones on Class 7 and above; this time, Zhang Tie directly came to the top of the library and entered the Class 9 inquiry zone.
Class 9 inquiry zone was independent. Each inquiry room was almost as large as a theater. There was no serviceman in the room. He could only see a set of terminal inquiry machine which was linked to the underground difference engine array and a huge black metal curtain which was higher than 10 m and wider than 20 m. On the black metal curtain, there were numerous dense and tidy round metal pushpin-shaped bulges.
Zhang Tie had heard about this advanced object. However, it was his first time to see it. The metal curtain was one of the most delicate and expensive machines in the world. It was a terminal metal pixel display being connected to the large difference engine. The signals output by difference engine could be reflected on this metal curtain through complex transcoding and translation. This product combined typography and the most advanced steam technologies…
Chapter 1233: An Attempt
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
It was said that the underground difference engine network array of this largest human library was driven by geothermal energy. It was available around the clock. The entire library included a lot of information entry clerks and maintenance engineers, who maintained the normal operation of this huge difference engine system. As this difference engine system ran normally when the trouble-reappearance situation came into being, Zhang Tie could normally use this system even though he was alone in the library.
With the trouble-reappearance fruits that Zhang Tie used in Xuanyuan Hill, besides killing Han Zhengfang and Han Yuanhong, he also gained the largest legacy, this huge database in Xuanyuan Hill…
The largest human library and database became Zhang Tie's private study at this moment.
Besides this library, the database in the headquarters of those major human trade unions in Xuanyuan Hill was also open to Zhang Tie completely.
This was the largest achievement that Zhang Tie had made in Xuanyuan Hill.
Compared to this achievement, it was worthwhile for him to consume those trouble-reappearance fruits.
On one side of the operation panel of the inquiry machine, there was an operation manual. Zhang Tie skimmed it over rapidly before knowing how to manipulate it.
With the sound "Da da da", the metal keyboard carried a strong metallic texture. Zhang Tie had long borne the universal remote-sensing crystal communications information codes in mind. Therefore, he soon input the keywords into the machine.
He only input one key word——kinetic weapon!
After tapping on the key "Enter", Zhang Tie listened to the tinny and euphonious sounds of the running gears for 1 minute when the numerous fine metal pushpin-shaped bulges on the huge black metal curtain started to reverse and turn white. These white fine points connected with each other and formed a succession of words, which was a booklist.
Within Zhang Tie's imagination, these references were mainly humans' study of kinetic weapons before the Catastrophe.
"The Prospect of Kinetic Weapon on the Basis of Gutungs Explosion"
"Summary of Kinetic Weapons"
"Heavens-Based Kinetic Weapons——the Commanding Height in future Wars"
"On the Functions of Kinetic Weapons in Anti-missile and Anti-satellite Realms"
"The Report on the Current Situation of Kinetic Weapons after Nuclear Weapons"
"A Study on the Feasibility of Matching Large Surface Combat Ships with Electromagnetic Cannons" U.p..dated by NovelFull
"The Plan on God's Spear"
"A Study on the Application of Hypersonic Aerospace Aircrafts in Strategic Kinetic Weapons"
"Convention on Limiting Heavens-Based Kinetic Weapons——Protecting the Last Pure Area in the Sky"
…
Zhang Tie got over 40 books about kinetic weapons. He pressed the button on the operation panel and turned on the first book——"The Prospect of Kinetic Weapon on the Basis of Gutungs Explosion"…
A succession of words appeared on the metal pixel display in front of Zhang Tie.
In the following 3 hours, Zhang Tie digested all the knowledge that he could collect about kinetic weapons in the room.
Kinetic weapons were different than traditional weapons. Before the Catastrophe, humans' traditional weapons such as missiles, bombs and nuclear weapons killed, wounded or destroyed the targets through explosion; however, kinetic weapons killed the targets through their great kinetic energy instead of explosions.
Kinetic weapons had great destructive power. It was said that the inspiration for developing kinetic weapons originated from a big explosion caused by a meteor that collided with the earth of a subcontinent. When a meteor hit the ground with a great speed and mass, the kinetic energy and power that it released would be greater than that of the explosion of 1,000 atomic bombs. A high-speed collision of the meteor would turn thousands of square miles' land into scorched earth in a split second.
The power of kinetic weapon was only related to the object's speed and mass. As long as an object could reach a great speed, it could carry a great kinetic energy even though its mass was not great.
As for all the kinetic weapons that were invented by humans before the Catastrophe, to gain a great speed was the key for a great kinetic energy.
In order to gain a great speed, people had worked out many methods. Electromagnetic cannons' bullets gained a great speed in electromagnetic acceleration principle. As for heavens-based kinetic weapons, electromagnetic cannons were installed on the geostationary orbit of the planet and turned into rail cannons. The bullets being fired by rail cannons towards the earth carried a great initial velocity; additionally, the acceleration of gravity could make bullets move increasingly faster. When a kinetic bullet fired by a rail cannon touched the earth, its speed could reach hundreds of Machs with a terrifying power. Take the Heavens-based kinetic weapon mentioned in the Plan on God's Spear as an instance, it was actually an "iron spear" driven by a rocket booster after being fired towards the ground from the outer space. In this way, the "iron spear" could be accelerated two times like the bullets of rail cannons, which could definitely destroy the target on the ground.
Before the Catastrophe, people had already invented the interception technologies for ballistic missiles. Therefore, all the nuclear weapons' effects were discounted. However, kinetic weapons couldn't be intercepted. Because kinetic weapons had great power and couldn't be intercepted, all the human countries had been competing for developing kinetic weapons so as to replace nuclear weapons as the new strategic threat power before the Catastrophe.
Zhang Tie saw a form in a book, which listed the comparisons on the kinetic energy between various human weapons. After reading that form, Zhang Tie finally understood how terrifying his strike was.
Before the Catastrophe, the lightest tactic nuclear weapon that humans invented was David mini tactic nuclear weapon, whose explosive power was 41.8 billion Joules, which was equal to the explosive equivalent of 10 tons' TNT explosives. Zhang Tie's hammer carried 45 billion Joules. It meant that his hammer's kinetic energy was even 10% greater than that of a mini tactic nuclear weapon.
Power of nuclear weapon was dispersive; by contrast, kinetic weapon's strike was more concentrative and carried a greater destructive power.
Facing such a great destructive power, Zhang Tie's battle qi and the two indirect effects of Thor's Hammer, of course, the 7 jerk pastors of Sacred Light Empire were wiped out at once.
Among all the books, Zhang Tie was most interested in the thesis "A Study on the Application of Hypersonic Aerospace Aircrafts in Strategic Kinetic Weapons".
It was a proposition posed by a Hua scientist before the Catastrophe ——Produce a hypersonic aerospace aircraft whose moving speed could reach 10 times the speed of sound; throw an iron rod towards the target in flight. When the iron rod left the aircraft, it would carry tens of times the speed of sound. After entering the atmosphere, it would gain the second acceleration due to gravity. In this way, when the iron rode fell onto the ground, its destructive power would be similar to that of a nuclear weapon.
When he read this thesis, Zhang Tie's face turned increasingly weirder. Because he sensed that this proposition was referring to his current ability. With the flight ability of divine dominator, after reaching the speed greater than 10 times the speed of sound, he threw his spear towards the target…
By then, his spear's speed would be composed of 3 parts, namely 10 times the speed of sound, the initial speed that Zhang Tie's granted to the spear and the acceleration granted by the gravity…
Of course, he couldn't casually throw Thor's Hammer towards his enemy at such a high speed. What if it was a spear?
'My palm bolts could kill battle spirits in a split second. If my palm bolt increases its weight by a few times and gains a speed which is greater than 10 times the speed of sound, what about the kinetic energy of that spear? How powerful would it be?'
Zhang Tie stood in the room for quite a while. After that, he suddenly patted his head forcefully before rushing out of the room like the wind…
…
Only after a few minutes, the gate of an arsenal of Black Armor Army in the north of Xuanyuan Hill was shattered with a boom. Zhang Tie then entered it with an excited look.
As he couldn't use his space-teleportation equipment in the trouble-reappearance space, Zhang Tie could only look for the ready tools in the trouble-reappearance situation to verify his thought.
Thankfully, Xuanyuan Hill gathered all the delicate weapons in the world. It was very easy for him to find some weapons especially helmets, armors and spears in the arsenal of one of the top 4 armies in Taixia Country in Xuanyuan Hill.
What a Black Armor Army! There were all sorts of top-class weapons and equipment in the arsenal.
Zhang Tie found a copper-colored proper metal battle armor from those armors. After putting on the metal caligas, metal waistband, metal chest armor and metal wristers, Zhang Tie tried to fly at a high speed with the flight ability of divine dominator; after that, he came to the location of weapons and found some heaviest spears before leaving the arsenal.
Soon after he left the arsenal, Zhang Tie had flown off. With the ability of rapid moving skill and divine dominator, Zhang Tie soon reached his maximal speed——3,487 m/s.
The heaviest spear weighed 56 kg. However, Zhang Tie still felt it was as light as a straw. As he mainly wanted to try its power at a high speed, Zhang Tie didn't care about that.
Zhang Tie didn't mean to select a target on purpose. At over 1,000 m high, Zhang Tie noticed a building of over 20 floors. Closely after that, he threw his spear towards it forcefully…
Chapter 1234: A New Road of Cultivation
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie's flight speed was 3,487 m/s, which was close to 10 times the speed of sound.
The speed of spear that Zhang Tie could throw at rest was 1,689 m/s, which was close to 5 times the speed of sound.
When in flight, the moment the spear left Zhang Tie's hand, although its speed being relative to Zhang Tie was 1,689 m/s, its real speed was 5,176 m/s, ignoring the gravity acceleration from over 1,000 m high.
When the spear hit the building, its kinetic energy was 750,147,328 Joules. The moment the spear left his hand, Zhang Tie had got its kinetic energy through his powerful mental arithmetic by abacus.
According to the standard before the Catastrophe, the kinetic energy of over 750 million Joules was almost equal to the explosive quantitive of 180 kg's TNT.
Of course, in this age, there was no explosive except for alchemist's bomb; additionally, the strike of kinetic weapon was more concentrative and more destructive to a single target.
When the spear hit the building, over 10 floors' structure was collapsed at once, causing dust and broken stones flying in all directions.
After that, Zhang Tie threw out another two spears and hit the remaining part of the building. As a result, the entire building collapsed, leaving a huge pit on the ground whose diameter was a few meters.
Then, Zhang Tie tried to manipulate an object to attack his target with the ability of divine dominator.
Zhang Tie found that the inertia of his body in high-speed flight couldn't be passed to the object which was under control by his spiritual energy. When he controlled an object, the object's flight orientation was consistent with his flight orientation; additionally, the object under the control of spiritual energy could only fly as fast as the maximal speed of his body. Only when he threw out his spear by hand could his flight speed and inertia be passed to the spear.
Normally, the kinetic energy of a spear weighing 56 kg at the speed of 1,689 m/s was 79,876,188 Joule.
However, at 10 times the speed of sound in the air, the kinetic energy of spear which was thrown out by his hand was 750,147,328 Joules.
By contrast, it was a difference of 9.39 times. If he could further increase his flight speed, this sharp difference could be further enlarged.
The power of spear was out of Zhang Tie's imagination. However, Zhang Tie felt the 50-odd kg's spear was too light to play the effect of the kinetic strike. He had not fully exerted his strength yet. He could increase the kinetic energy of this spear by a few more times.
Launching an attack by a spear in flight with the ability of divine dominator was the swiftest, simplest and most powerful kinetic strike pattern for Zhang Tie.
'As long as I could easily kill a black iron knight by a spear in this way, does it mean that I could kill all the black iron demon knights in an overwhelming way like killing ants? Even heavenly knights couldn't do it.'
Zhang Tie couldn't help getting thrilled because he realized that a bright avenue of cultivation was right in front of his eyes. As long as he combined speed and strength, he would defeat all the opponents. Speed and strength were his greatest advantages. From then on, the combat mode of divine dominator would enter a completely new realm. At the same time, he had one more powerful trump card that could change the situation.
'F*ck, I became a humanoid hypersonic strategic bomber that could fire momentum weapons!'
After looking at the collapsed building and thinking about his achievement, Zhang Tie exited the trouble-reappearance situation immediately…
…
After opening his eyes, Zhang Tie saw Heller under the small tree. Heller might have already known that Zhang Tie would wake up at this moment.
"Castle Lord, you might have made an achievement in the trouble-reappearance situation!"
Zhang Tie stood up as he revealed a confident and brilliant smile before saying, "I just suddenly realize what I should do in the future…" After saying that, Zhang Tie seriously looked at Heller's calm smile and wise eye light for a short while. He then immediately realized, "Have you long known about the secret of kinetic weapon? You should have long told me about that. If not raid the expeditionary corps of Sacred Light Empire, I might have not discovered that I could have such a powerful striking means!"
"When Castle Lord could fly at an increasingly higher speed with the ability of divine dominator, the so-called secret of kinetic weapon would just be a window paper which would be broken sooner or later. If I told you too early, I might have influenced your cultivation base and exploration in fighting skills. It's not good. No matter what, although you have promoted to a knight, you have to observe the world with your own eyes and sense and think about the world using your own brain. Only in this way could you get a real and reliable experience and gnosis. Castle Lord, if I told you about the striking mode that you could select when you were in a hypersonic flight, would you still have such an excited and deep feeling?"
"Well, you're right!" Zhang Tie didn't argue with Heller on this event because it was Heller's usual demeanor. Heller never provided any excessive suggestion for his road of cultivation; instead, Heller just worked as the steward of Castle of Black Iron and gave him some tips at most. Zhang Tie then asked Heller, "Do you think the kinetic strike is promising or not?"
"The power of kinetic strike is closely related to strength and speed. The extreme strength is close to the universal law. Castle Lord, don't you want to look at the scenery in extreme strength and speed. Additionally, Castle Lord's kinetic strike could already match a mini tactic nuclear weapon before the Catastrophe. In the future, as Castle Lord's battle strength gradually increases, Castle Lord's kinetic strike would grow increasingly more and more powerful. How could such a powerful, simple and efficient striking means be not promising in the holy war? Castle Lord, did you see anyone else among humans who could use the same means?"
Zhang Tie understood Heller's words. It was Heller's first time to advocate a striking means so much. Heller's words made Zhang Tie further strengthen his belief.
'This way is definitely promising!'
"Speaking of increasing the power of kinetic strike, I think those jerk pastors of Sacred Light Empire must have left something for me!"
Zhang Tie looked up at the brilliant fruit of brilliance and the fruit of judgment as his eyes shone at once…
Chapter 1235: The Initial Success of Kinetic Energy Strike
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
3 days later, in Castle of Black Iron…
A human flashed in the sky of Castle of Black Iron at a terrifying, high speed like a lightning bolt. People could barely catch his movement by naked eyes even being close to him. Only in the distance could people see a looming grey fine line streaking over the sky…
With a "boom…", a barren 50-m higher hill was exploded into pieces after the human flashed by, sending broken stones flying about 1,500 m in all directions, leaving a huge hole whose depth and radius were both over 10 m.
"Boom…", "Boom…", "Boom…"
The thunder-like explosions sounded one after another. At the same time, those hills at different heights were exploded one after another, leaving many huge and deep holes on the ground. The flying man was like a hypersonic bomber. Wherever he flew over, he would leave a huge, evident trace on the ground.
Heller, Edward, Agan and Aziz were standing on the top of a mountain peak of Immortal Mountain in Castle of Black Iron and watching how the land over 10 miles away was spoiled by Zhang Tie's kinetic energy strikes.
That land was newly formed a couple of days ago right beside the Immortal Mountain. It covered 1,200 square miles and was 1,000 m in thickness. It was taken as the training field for Zhang Tie to practice his battle skills in Castle of Black Iron.
Based on his current battle strength; of course, Zhang Tie could practice common battle skills in trouble-reappearance situations; however, as the battle skill of kinetic energy strike which required special spears couldn't be trained in trouble-reappearance situations. Whatever, he couldn't find a blacksmith's shop in the trouble-reappearance situation and build his spears over there before taking them out for the practice. Although it was feasible theoretically, Zhang Tie didn't have so much time to do that.
As the Immortal Mountain had a very picturesque scenery, of course, Zhang Tie couldn't destroy it. After leaving Immortal Mountain, there were many residents. As those residents had already regarded Castle of Black Iron as their home, even though Castle of Black Iron belonged to Zhang Tie, he didn't expect to practice his battle skill on the land in others' home and spoil the earth surface.
Given those factors, Zhang Tie finally accomplished another space and terrain formation and modification after so many years.
In the eyes of those residents in Castle of Black Iron, their God was creating the world once again.
Since the elements abyss connected the elements realm, elements had been constantly flowing into Castle of Black Iron. After 4 months' absorption, the basic energy storage in Castle of Black Iron had been available for an unprecedented terrain and space expansion.
This space and terrain modification of Castle of Black Iron was indeed unprecedented.
The basic energy storage converted by elements abyss each month could provide Castle of Black Iron with 540 square miles' land as thick as 50,000 m. If he didn't need such a thick earth's crust, 130,000 square miles' land as thick as 200 m could be formed per month in Castle of Black Iron.
After negotiating and calculating with Heller, Zhang Tie knew that over 110,000 square miles' water and land area was increased this time.
Before this, the total area of Castle of Black Iron was only 2,400 square miles. This time, Zhang Tie increased the total area of Castle of Black Iron by over 40 times.
Besides the increase in land area, the average thickness of the earth's crust of Castle of Black Iron also increased from 200 m to 1,000 m. In the 1,000 m thick earth's crust, the upper half part of the earth's crust was fertile soil; the lower half part was hard rocks. Therefore, the entire Castle of Black Iron became thicker and steadier.
The earth's surface increased by 40-50 times; the earth's crust's thickness increased by 5 times. What a tremendous change for Castle of Black Iron!
Besides the increase of the earth's surface area, Zhang Tie increased over 12,000 square miles' ocean in the east of Castle of Black Iron. The appearance of this ocean made the surface landforms of Castle of Black Iron more complete. Castle of Black Iron had contained both land and ocean; instead of being purely land. Although the ocean in Castle of Black Iron was a bit small and was more like a salty lake than an ocean, it could already serve as the base for the reproduction of all the maritime plants in Castle of Black Iron and make Castle of Black Iron more vigorous.
Of course, this new land included the exclusive training field which covered over 1,200 square miles at the foot of the Immortal Mountain.
Looking down from the top of the Immortal Mountain, this training field was completely a barren land. It was crisscrossed with rises and falls like a checkerboard. Additionally, it was covered with dense stone hills and mounds. As the best training field for practicing his battle skill, such a terrain could never be seen in nature.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was testing the power of his kinetic energy strike.
Compared to his trial in the trouble-reappearance situation 3 days ago, Zhang Tie completely displayed the terrifying effect of kinetic energy strike at this moment.
Zhang Tie's flight speed in the sky could reach 4,478 m/s in Chaos. At such a high speed, he threw out the two spears that he had people made in Castle of Black Iron.
The spear weighing 680 kg left Zhang Tie's hand at a speed of almost 1,600 m per second and accelerated to greater than 6,000 m per second in a split second. Like a flame and lightning bolt, it hit the ground within 0.1 seconds. The kinetic energy of almost 12.9 billion Joules made a huge pit which was wider than 30 m and deeper than 70 m in a split second. The invisible hypersonic impact wave caused the land within 500 m to rise and fall like ripples and caused dust flying in the air. After the dust fell down, many rocks within dozens of meters were shattered and cracked…
After throwing out the last spear, Zhang Tie roared as he flashed back to the mountain peak where Heller and the three servants were standing on.
"Congratulations, Castle Lord, you've almost grasped the kinetic energy strike skill!" Heller and the other three people bowed towards Zhang Tie at the same time as they said in unison.
