Chapter 1654: Chapter 6: Myriad Martial Arts—This Is the Way of Warships!
The aftershock of the suppressive pressure spread rapidly, quickly reaching the front lines where the Desolate Alliance and the evil demons were clashing.
Because the firepower net from the rear was completely severed by this strike from the Platinum Armor, the pressure on the Desolate Alliance cultivators on the front lines significantly eased.
Yu Feng was still in mid-air, striving to calm the turbulent spiritual power within him, recovering from the aftereffects of the Heavenly Demon Dismemberment. Due to the advanced technology the Desolate Alliance used to improve this Cultivation Technique, his condition was much better than expected, and he hadn’t completely lost his combat ability.
But even he, when the thought of approaching that Platinum Armor arose in his heart, felt a strong soul tremor. That sharp suppressive pressure repelled all life forms that intended to get close.
And the others on the front lines were even more suppressed by this pressure, unable to advance a step.
Can’t help it.
But it seems there’s no need to help.
Because, in the next moment, everyone, whether the remaining evil demons or the human cultivators of the Desolate Alliance, stood dumbfounded.
This Platinum Armor, after releasing the clearing pressure, directly turned, rushing towards an intact warship closest to it.
It arrived at the warship’s lower side, extended a hand, and with a piercing explosion, directly inserted into the bottom layer of the warship’s outer armor.
Then, exerting strength, lifted it up!
The Mountain Battlecruiser, truly like a mountain, was forged by the evil True Demons amalgamating small Sky Islands. Each one was several hundred to even a thousand zhang in length and width.
And at this moment, the target lifted by the Platinum Armor was a large warship over eight hundred zhang wide.
Even though the Platinum Armor itself was over sixty meters, twenty zhang tall, it was still tiny compared to this warship, like a fly facing a human or a mosquito trying to move a tree.
Theoretically, even if one grabbed the edge of the warship armor, it should be impossible to lift the entire warship because the force point area is too small, just like trying to use a needle tip to lift tofu, the ship’s weight would crush the grabbed armor area, causing the hull to tear apart.
But a miracle just happened.
An incomparably thick Golden Evil Power burst from within the Platinum Armor.
Like a surging wave, this power, starting from the arms of the Platinum Armor inserted into the warship armor, transformed into mysterious iron-white patterns, and began spreading at a terrifying speed over the warship’s armor, framework, and even the various Array circuits.
The evil demons within the warship couldn’t dodge in time, and under the cutting Sword Intent released by these spreading, root-like white patterns, they turned into masses of blood mist.
[Dissolving Troops into Spirit, Coalescing Qi into Soldiers]
Inside the warship, Blood Qi surged, seeping out from cracks and damaged openings, spreading like flames, while outside, the metal color intensified, with beams of blood-gold Sword Qi shooting skyward, penetrating the demonic clouds!
—The warship is also a sword!
—Every possible Martial Arts, this is the Dao of Warships!
The Platinum Armament astonishingly had refined the entire warship, turning it into its weapon!
Then, in the next instant, under the horrific eyes of all the evil demons and the gaping stares of all the human cultivators, it began rushing forward, charging into the further Demon Army battle formation, and with an incredible force, unbelievably swung this eight-hundred-zhang giant ship as if it were a giant sword, towards the Demon Army battle formation!
—Who the hell could block this?!
Unified thoughts emerged in the hearts of all evil demons targeted by the Platinum Armor, but knowing did not mean they could block it, nor did it mean they could escape…this was, after all, an eight-hundred-zhang-long giant ship, the width, length, and powerful force of Sword Qi it released, no mere fodder could escape?
In an instant, the giant ship swept horizontally, powerfully stirring the heavens and earth, the massive sword body seemed to slash down, but in reality, it smashed into the scattering but too late to escape Demon Army, its movements appeared slow, yet that was only due to its immense size causing an illusion, in reality, in just an instant, hundreds of sparks erupted in all directions under the grind of this giant ship’s Sword Qi.
A battleship, a true mountain-like giant ship, too late to escape, was struck by the swinging giant ship of the Platinum Armor, steel clashing against steel, evidently, the reinforced steel was superior, amidst earth-shattering collision sounds, one could see the giant ship being struck collapsing from the middle, then splitting, breaking, exploding, turning into countless shattered fiery splinters, an iron rain filling the sky.

Yet the Platinum Armor did not forget its target, lifting its head, burning radiance locked onto Fata Bi who had already fled hundreds of miles away, then lifted its empty left hand, grasping at the void.
[Spirit Path·Gate of All Marvels]
Honestly speaking, it sounds a bit exaggerated, but it’s the truth—under the overwhelming Spiritual Fiend that couldn’t possibly exist in the True Master Realm, at least dozens to a hundred times more than that of a normal True Person, space-time distorted, the Great Void was penetrated.
That self-assured, thinking himself wise, not assuming the Platinum Armor would be dealt with simply because it was hit by the Purple Sun Demon Fire, Fata Bi, who was feeling lucky to have escaped, suddenly had his head grasped by a giant steel claw with razor-sharp tips.
A terrifying closure, a crushing sound arose, Fata Bi, whose skull was being clasped, let out a sharp explosion. Its form abruptly blurred, disappearing, and then reappearing in mid-air three thousand feet away. This was a life-preserving divine skill summoned by the Demon Abyss, a distance sufficient to preserve life even if the core furnace of the battlecruiser exploded; it had escaped.
But, clearly, facing the Platinum Armor, it was still not enough.
Because the platinum-armored figure wielding the giant ship had already surpassed with extraordinary speed, closing in rapidly, and then swung the ship in its hand like a baseball bat toward Fata Bi, striking fiercely!
Hit!
Boom!!!
The powerful swing even tore a massive semi-circular vacuum into the atmosphere, visibly deforming the air, denting it, and then exploding.
Fata Bi simply could not withstand this monstrosity which could launch such a land-shattering force, being directly smashed into a bloody pulp by the giant ship’s bat, the entire maelstrom akin to a chunk of meatloaf, pounded against the edge of a Sky Island.
This Sky Island wasn’t large, spanning nearly five miles. At this moment, struck by the fiercely powerful Fata Bi, it promptly tilted at a forty-five-degree angle, causing everything on the lifted side, be it rocks, trees, leftover war flying shuttle armor debris, or some unfortunate wild animals, all to be catapulted like something fired from a massive catapult, shot into unknown distances.
Yet, even in death, there would be no regret, because to be able to travel with an entire Sky Island as a catapult is truly unparalleled, a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
And Fata Bi is even luckier.
Because its way of dying will be very peculiar and strange.
Fata Bi was among the formidable batch of evil demons, not quite the ultimate peak, but very close. However, faced with this bizarre unknown platinum armor, it only wished it could grow ten pairs of wings. But even a hundred pairs would likely be useless, because it had already shattered into a pulp, fundamentally incapable of moving.
Of course, given the life force of a True Demon, the meatloaf form wouldn’t kill it. In fact, it’s regenerating rapidly. Within just a few breaths, it turned from a mound of dumpling meat filling for the New Year to a chicken being scalded in the marketplace with hot water, though still a food ingredient, it’s finally discernible as a whole.
“How is it possible, this is… the Immortal Industry?! But why would someone comprehend the Immortal Industry, yet not ascend?!”
At this moment, Fata Bi’s heart was filled with fear and incredulity. It had actually sensed An Jing’s peculiar aura from the start, instinctively wanting to flee, not at all wishing to fight the Platinum Armor, and now it remembered, this peculiar aura was the Immortal Industry!
Immortal Industry, Immortal Industry, by attaining it, one verifies the rank of Immortal, and a name is recorded in the Taoist Heavenly Book. In Great Antiquity, the True Person was referred to as the Human Immortal, ultimately living in the human world. Only by attaining the Immortal Industry could one open up Cave Heaven, declare oneself as Earth Immortal, and live eternally with the world.
The Immortal Industry itself is enough to serve as the core of a Small World! The Great Wilderness Realm currently would not allow a being with the Immortal Industry to exist.
Unless, as with the Demon Lord…
At this moment, Fata Bi had just regenerated its eyes, then stopped thinking because of what it saw.
It slightly regretted so hastily regenerating its eyes.
Because it saw a shadow.
At first, it was just a small dot, then growing larger, spreading, expanding, eventually becoming massive enough to seemingly encompass half of the Sky Island.
That was the Giant Ship’s Sword, the weapon of the Platinum Armor.
He hurled it with all his might as though throwing a lead ball, simple, effortless, free-spirited, although encased in steel, the action and curve were perfectly awe-inspiring, but for Fata Bi, this scene was anything but beautiful because it stared directly, seeing a gigantic battleship shatter the sky’s clouds, layers of fire mist, the front end carrying a bluish-purple flowing fire, plunging toward itself.
Boom!
As though a Giant God of Creation had cast down the hammer forging heaven and earth, the entire Sky Island dramatically descended nearly a thousand feet, the terrifying impact shattering the upper half of the entire island, countless rocks, steel, and soil being shaken into smoke and dust, then scattered every which way.
Afterwards, the smoke was torn open by a fierce wind, a sharp sword Qi cleaved through the dust, and a form descended, standing atop the battleship embedded into the earth.
The Platinum Armor extended its hand again, gripping onto this heavily twisted and deformed battleship. Then, as if pulling a knife from a cut block of tofu, withdrew it from the sunken Sky Island, with a casual toss, swapping an end, and then left it in place.
From the original bottom, now the upper end, the crushed into fragments Fata Bi perceived a voice.
“Next, I have some questions that require your answers.”
This voice was calm, neither curious, coercive, nor interrogative.
Furthermore, it was not open to refusal.
