Chapter 2077: BANKAI!!!

After the two large Star Ships that had originally been stationed at the head and tail of the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field fleet suddenly changed their courses, they triggered considerable turmoil. Many survivors from the Essence Yue Heavenly Field even suspected that the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field meant to abandon them.

Fortunately, most of the Star Ships participating in the operation were crewed mainly by the Blizzard Pirates and cultivators of Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field, and some ready-to-fight forces from the Essence Yue Heavenly Field had already received repeated instructions from the Cai siblings in advance.

Therefore, although people in the fleet were on edge, the redeployment of dozens of Star Ships did not cause excessive chaos.

Of course, the more important reason was Chu Jia’s control over the entire Star Ship fleet, which made the whole force look chaotic on the surface, yet in fact it remained without disorder and could act in an orderly fashion.

In truth, however, even the Cai siblings were uneasy about the whole thing and did not know how much chance of success Chu Jia’s plan truly had.

But with matters as they were, they had no way out and could only entrust all their final hopes to Chu Jia.

Even so, when they noticed that the flight paths of nearly 30 Star Ships were each different, the Cai siblings still felt anxious, doubting whether Chu Jia alone could clearly calculate routes for 30 Star Ships to move through such a massive fleet.

Yet as their ships maneuvered in what seemed like a chaotic dance, they encountered no obstacles along the way until all the ships felt the surrounding void suddenly open up and realized that every other ship had been left behind. Only then did they discover that nearly 3- Star Ships, with the Chasing Wind and the Welcoming Snow at the core, had already set themselves in the void with their backs to the fleet in a hemispherical combined battle formation capable of maximizing their offensive power!

Nor was that all, because the mass and apparent confusion of the previously assembled fleet had concealed the intent so thoroughly that neither the enemy nor their own knew, or could see, Chu Jia’s true purpose. Their opponents were caught completely off guard.

When the Rongyue and Kuigang rushed over, they happened to fall straight into the combined encirclement formed by the nearly 30 Star Ships of the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field, which were ready to blast them to hell.

At that moment, not to mention the two super Star Pirate Groups that had plunged into the encirclement, even many of Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field’s cultivators wore looks of astonishment and surprise.

Fortunately, their shock did not slow their movements. Given such a heaven-sent opportunity, the cultivators aboard each Star Ship, coordinating with the ships’ formations and the battle formation, threw their full strength into attacking their enemies.

At the same time, the Cai siblings well understood the principle that it was better to break one finger than injure ten.

Although aside from the two super Star Ships, several medium Star Ships had also plunged into the encirclement at the start, bringing the total to more than 10 of them. Under the Cai siblings’ prior instructions, the combined battle formation made up of 30 Star Ships, they started their epic counterattack.

Dazzling white light almost blinded everyone. In an instant, the hemispherical stretch of void that was surrounded was nearly torn to pieces. No matter how hard one stretched their divine soul, they failed to detect anything within.

Out in the distant void, several auras of the Sages who were observing the battle surfaced and then turned their gaze over, waiting for what would come next.

In truth, even if nothing could be sensed for the moment within the thoroughly torn-apart void, the countless fragments of Star Ship hulls that burst out from within had long since foretold what had happened inside.

As the first wave of attacks from Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field’s fleet drew to a close, before the region could temporarily stabilize, the battle formation immediately launched a second wave of strikes that extended beyond the encirclement.

In fact, at the very instant the Star Ships of both super Star Pirate Groups suddenly fell into the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field’s encirclement, their responses had already fallen into a certain degree of confusion.

The loose alliance of Star Pirate Groups this time naturally included more than just the super Star Pirate Groups. giant groups. Also, both groups sent more than 10 ships in their first wave of assaults.

Besides those ships that had first broken into the encirclement, there were more than a dozen medium Star Ships following in succession.

Watching their vanguard fleet vanish without a trace, they instantly fell into chaos. Some tried to charge forward to rescue their fellow comrades, some held back to watch yet launched counterattacks from afar. Some, seeing the situation turn bad, immediately tried to turn to retreat, and the few stragglers who were at a loss, simply hovered in place and did nothing.

In stark contrast, those from the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field were extremely confident, or more precisely, Chu Jia, the commander of the fleet, felt a boost of confidence.

After completing the first round of combined strikes, she immediately began extending the formation’s offensive outward, and the Star Pirate Groups’ remaining fleet outside became her targets.

Of course, in the process, the scattered counterattacks from those remnant Star Pirates caused some trouble for Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field’s battle formation, and when they focused fire again, the power was not on the same level as the first round, where they had lots of time to store up their power.

Even so, the results of the second round of combined strikes remained impressive.

This second round did not completely shatter the void to the extent as before, such that no one could see what happened within.

This time, under everyone’s eyes, of the 13 medium Star Ships that remained outside, together with the four or five battered medium Star Ships that had narrowly escaped death during the first combined strike, a total of 18 of them were blasted. Eight of them were destroyed, including four of the five heavily damaged ships that had survived the first round.

In addition, four more had suffered severe hull damage. The protection formations that had been inscribed on the bodies of those ships had been seriously damaged and were almost useless.

In such a situation, if Chu Jia could use the formation to organize a third concentrated volley, both super Star Pirate Groups might even be completely annihilated.

However, although Chu Jia’s control over the fleet’s battle formation had clearly advanced to a new level, there were still too many enemies. Several other Star Pirate Groups attacking from other directions had already launched targeted assaults on the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field’s fleet. Because too many escort ships had been drawn off to engage the two Super Star Pirate Groups, the fleet’s defenses in other directions were extremely thin. They were virtually nonexistent.

With no alternative, Chu Jia had to temporarily give up on the remnants of those super Star Pirate Groups that had been nearly crippled and turn instead to deal with the others.
