"That metal thing is very powerful. So many attacks, and they all landed on that withered black creature. None of our Earth Immortals were accidentally injured!"
"That's great. I want to go up too. I'll follow behind that iron ship and kill those withered black creatures."
Many cultivators at the Soul Transformation and Tribulation Crossing stages approached the spaceship to kill enemies. After all, the spaceship's firepower was too immense. All of its attacks were directed at the withered black creatures. Following behind it allowed them to pick up many advantages.
The spaceship began to wreak havoc in this small area.
Withered black creatures at the Celestial Immortal level in the distance wanted to come and destroy the spaceship. Celestial Immortals from the Immortal-Demon Universe immediately engaged them, preventing them from damaging the spaceship.
Inside, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal calmly observed the spaceship's rampaging. This Grand Unity Golden Immortal was responsible for the rear area and had no specific combat mission. Therefore, he wanted to see what the spaceship was capable of.
The spaceship continuously wreaked havoc. The Grand Unity Golden Immortal calculated how many withered black creatures the spaceship could kill.
After some calculation, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal discovered that against withered black creatures with Soul Transformation stage strength, the spaceship's killing speed was even faster than a Golden Immortal. However, its killing power was insufficient against those above the Tribulation Crossing stage.
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal stood beside Xiao Yan, watching the spaceship. After two hours of continuous operation, an energy depletion alarm began to sound on the spaceship.
"Alarm, insufficient energy, please recharge!"
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal asked curiously, "It needs to be recharged? What does this spaceship use for charging?"
Xiao Yan replied, "Sir, our spaceship is charged using spirit stones. As long as spirit stones are inserted, the spaceship can operate."
In reality, the spaceship could use many other forms of energy, but Xiao Yan did not mention them.
Xiao Yan said, "Immediately use spirit stones to recharge."
The intelligent robot next to him immediately said, "Report, there are no more spirit stones. There are no more spirit stones. Please add spirit stones!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan appeared distressed and said, "Sir, we have run out of spirit stones for our spaceship. Without spirit stones for charging, the spaceship's shields will easily be destroyed by those withered black creatures. I request that you allow the spaceship to return to the rear. We have spirit stone reserves on other spaceships."
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal asked, "Spirit stones? How many spirit stones have you used?"
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal mused, judging by the power displayed, this spaceship must have used tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones by now!
Xiao Yan looked distressed and said, "Sir, our spaceship consumes a great deal of spirit stones. Just now, we consumed over ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal was astonished. Mid-grade spirit stones! He knew the difference between mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones was enormous. Mid-grade spirit stones were very common in the Immortal-Demon Great Universe, their quantity akin to the coal used in China in the past. High-grade spirit stones were rarer, comparable to silver.
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal did not expect so few mid-grade spirit stones to be used. From what he had seen, the withered black creatures killed by the spaceship numbered more than ten thousand. If one mid-grade spirit stone could equate to one Soul Transformation stage withered black creature, then the hundreds of trillions of Soul Transformation stage withered black creatures here would have been wiped out in an instant.
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal waved his hand, and a pile of spirit stones appeared on the ground.
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal said, "These are all high-grade spirit stones, about thirty thousand in number. It's some of my pocket money. Please use them as power for the spaceship!"
Xiao Yan was overjoyed to see these high-grade spirit stones. He did not expect to profit from this trip. In fact, the over ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones consumed included the energy used for spatial jumps from Chu Yun Planet to this location. Therefore, the mid-grade spirit stones consumed here were only a few thousand.
Having consumed over ten thousand spirit stones, the quantity appeared to be substantial. However, considering the spaceship's thousand-meter scale, it was not a small ten-meter spacecraft. If such a spaceship were placed vertically on land, it would be equivalent to a large mountain. A thousand-meter mountain is very tall from base to peak. In the past, ordinary people in China would spend a full day climbing such a mountain to reach the summit.
Therefore, for a thousand-meter-class spaceship to consume only ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones was very little.
"Sir, thank you very much. With these high-grade spirit stones, we can fight for much longer."
Xiao Yan instructed the intelligent robot to transport these high-grade spirit stones to the fuel depot.
Xiao Yan was certainly more willing to use these high-grade spirit stones as they would make the spaceship's external shield even more powerful.
After the intelligent robot stored the high-grade spirit stones, the spaceship's external shield immediately showed a noticeable improvement. Facing the attacks of the withered black creatures, the spaceship's outer shield was more stable than before.
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal could easily perceive the situation outside and said, "After using the high-grade spirit stones, the spaceship's shield has become more stable. But why is the attack power still the same as before?"
Xiao Yan replied, "Sir, the power of our spaceship's cannon is already at its maximum. If we increase it further, the weapon would overload and eventually explode. Just like an ordinary branch cannot withstand too much spiritual energy."
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal nodded and said, "I see. I have also witnessed the power of your spaceship. While its power is good, it is still too little for the entire battlefield. Can your Dragon Country quickly manufacture tens of trillions of such spaceships?"
"Sir, our Dragon Country has consumed a vast amount of manpower and resources to manufacture only one hundred spaceships. Manufacturing tens of trillions is simply impossible."
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal shook his head in disappointment and said, "What a pity. One hundred spaceships have no effect on the entire battlefield. Since my task here is done, it is time for me to leave. Since you were sent here by other Grand Unity Golden Immortals, I cannot order you to sacrifice these spaceships in this meat grinder battlefield. You should retreat with these spaceships!"
With that, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal vanished and flew away.
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been quite worried that the Grand Unity Golden Immortal would order these spaceships to join the main battlefield.
Xiao Yan quickly ordered, "Retreat to the edge of the battlefield and scan the area. Focus on the main space channel."
Even now, Xiao Yan still did not know the location of that main space channel. He was naturally very confused.
