In a vacuum where there was no friction at all, how difficult would it be for the hundred thousand starships, which had accelerated to the maximum speed with the help of the gravity of the planets, to make a 180-degree turn simultaneously? How much chaos would they cause? The question could be solved by imagining how a hundred thousand wild boars running in the same direction could turn around and run away when they heard the roars of the tyrannosaurs. Not all the captains of the starships in the fleet approved of such a timid and idiotic tactic.

However, the so-called 'uncontrollable' was just like that. Everybody was running away, and nobody had the time to care about who was on the other side. Whoever hesitated for even half a second would become the last meat shield to face the wrath of Ding Lingdang, the human-shaped tyrannosaurus.

Therefore, even though the captains were planning to give it a try, when they saw the lackluster and even ill-intentioned allies around them, they all chose to make a turn without caring about the stability of the starship and the crazy consumption of fuel.

This was an avalanche-like chain reaction, a vicious cycle.

Run, run, run. All the captains were of the same mind. They did not need to run faster than Bai Xinghe's saber. All they needed to do was run faster than their allies!

He would break through Lei Chenghu's broken formation and return to the orbit of Jade Tripod. After all, there were still a lot of heavy firepower units on the surface of Jade Tripod that could provide strong support. By then, he would have much more options whether to regroup and fight again or to return to the Yellow Dragon World.

It was a good plan. However, the captains, chiefs, ministers, and committee leaders had overlooked one thing.

There were two kinds of Immortal Cultivators in the world. One of them was Lei Chenghu, and the other was Lei Chenghu, who was completely different from them and had been forgotten by them. The Immortal Cultivators were even mocked by them for their stupidity.

Right when the fleet changed their route and made a 180-degree turn, shocking changes happened to Lei Chenghu's broken array, too.

The previously lackluster spiritual shields were now shining a hundred times brighter than before, like burning supernovas. The power units that had been silent for the past few days, as if they had been blown up, spurted out thousands of powerful spiritual flames, making the starships charge forward unstoppably like ferocious cannonballs. The 'disorderly remnants', whose morale was so low that they were barely under control, were brought back to life. They moved forward at a high speed smoothly and neatly, forming the perfect cone-shaped battle formation!

The dumbfounded nobles finally realized two things.

Firstly, Lei Chenghu's fleet had indeed suffered heavy losses over the past few days. He had even abandoned a lot of slow-moving starships. However, the starships that had been destroyed and discarded were mainly maintenance starships and comprehensive supply ships. Although the super-heavy starships that were loaded with a lot of assets were essential for prolonged combat, they were not as important in a short assault.

Moreover, after abandoning the maintenance ships, the comprehensive supply ships, and the clumsy auxiliary warships, the sharp arrows made of Divine Shield warships and arsenals were lighter, sharper, and deadlier!

Secondly, including the flagship, the strength that Lei Chenghu still controlled was not as heavy as before. He had been concealing half of his firepower and defense ability in the high-intensity battle for an entire day and night on purpose. It was not until this moment, when the fattest prey had fallen into the trap, that he unleashed 100% of his combat ability and revealed the sharpest fangs of the God of War!

"Well…"

All the nobles of the fleet would be drowned in their own cold sweat.

'Deliberately showing weakness' was easier said than done in a real battle.

It meant that the commander-in-chief had absolute control over the fleet and that the commander-in-chief's willpower was as hard as steel and his nerves were as cold as ice. When necessary, the commander-in-chief would have to watch the starships under his command that were not protected by spiritual shields being blown up by the enemy without being able to lend a hand in time.

Only by being cruel to oneself could one be crueler to the enemy.

The Immortal Cultivators of the four families could do the latter half perfectly, but they had forgotten that the first half represented the essence of the path of immortality.

Even so, even if Lei Chenghu was cruel enough to sacrifice his own people and pretend that he couldn't resist a single attack in order to bait the fleet of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the fact that his fleet had just collapsed and was in utter chaos was a fact that everybody had seen with their own eyes. The nobles could not understand it at all. Even though he was the 'God of War', there was no way that he could have gathered so many people perfectly the moment they turned around!

It was true that 'God of War' was not enough.

But 'God of War' and 'Punching King' were more or less the same.

On Lei Chenghu's flagship, the 'god of war' of the imperium was standing below the glittering light beams with his hands behind his back. Beside him was a silver iron giant whose head was connected to the mainframe crystal processor by almost a hundred crystal cables. At first glance, it had already melded with the mainframe crystal processor of the flagship and even all the crystal processors of Lei Chenghu's fleet into a set of strengthened tactical chains as fast as lightning and a super battle network that covered all the stars in the universe.

This was the 'Punching King'. Different from Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and even Fuxi, it was an information life-form that was born for war and destruction and trained, upgraded, and evolved toward the goal of being the strongest in the universe.

Only the experience, willpower, and leadership of the God of War, together with the computational ability of the boxing champion and the enhancement of the battle network, could transform the rotten into the miraculous and complete the incredible assembly and assault.

"The federal expedition army is already on the move. All the starships have entered the sub-light speed state, leaving no way out for themselves. How resolute they are!

The crystal cable on the back of the Fist King was shivering slightly, as if the data that was flooding in had a mass of its own. It turned into clusters of scorching magma that were burning its crystal cameras. The Fist King quickly analyzed the data of the friendly army on the other side. Then, he exclaimed in surprise, "The one at the front is actually Ding Lingdang, their Speaker of Parliament? What does that mean? Is it a unique combat habit of the human civilization at the edge of the sea of stars? That's… unbelievable!"

Pausing for a moment, it quickly calculated and found a plausible explanation. "However, the most unbelievable thing is that she is the wife of 'Vulture Li Yao'. Everything makes sense now.

Lei Chenghu looked at the rapidly changing information and the pouring data on the light beam. Ding Lingdang's declaration echoed in his ears, too.

"Ding Lingdang, Speaker of Parliament of the Star Glory Federation, is here. Who wants to fight me to the death?"

Lei Chenghu's lips twitched. There was confusion and astonishment on the cold-blooded warrior's face, too.

"Here comes another monster." Lei Chenghu smiled bitterly and mumbled to himself, "Li Yao, Long Yangjun, Bai Xingjian, His Majesty, and the mysterious, promising creatures of information such as yourself, and now Ding Lingdang, who likes to lead the charge despite being the leader of a military nation. There are more and more monsters in the center of the sea of stars today. It's getting livelier and livelier.

"General Hu, what did you say?"

The boxing champion asked.

"It's nothing. I just feel that I'm too old and my head is too rigid. It's hard for me to understand monsters like you and this… new era where everything is surging and exciting.

Lei Chenghu sighed. "The old era that belonged to me is withering. I can't keep up with you monsters anymore. It seems that I should find a good exit and leave the stage to you newcomers.

"However…"

The God of War took a deep breath. Although he said that, stubbornness, competitiveness, and bloodthirst were beaming out of his eyes. He stared at the gradually dispersing fleet on the light beam. His eyes seemed to be tearing apart every mystic ray that constituted the light beam.

"I can walk off the stage that I've been fighting for two hundred years on my own. But as long as I'm standing on the stage for one second, I will be the God of War. Nobody will force me to walk down the stage. Nobody will be able to defeat me in the blood-stained sea of stars. Lei Chenghu of the imperium!

Lei Chenghu clenched his communicator so hard that it was squeaking. He roared at the soldiers of the entire army who had been suppressing themselves for a long time, "Do you see it, soldiers of the new empire? The foreign army from the edge of the sea of stars has just marched into an unfamiliar battlefield, and yet they are already so bold and brutal. The enemies in front of them, the self-proclaimed 'Immortal Cultivators', are so timid and selfish that they have disgraced the Immortal Cultivators!

"We will never admit that the cowardly, ugly guys are Immortal Cultivators. They are just maggots, cockroaches! It will be the greatest insult to the path of immortality if they continue to live an ignoble life! Let's end the lives of the maggots with our own hands and tell the visiting army what a real Immortal Cultivator looks like!

Before the roars echoed in every starship under his command, Lei Chenghu had already commanded his flagship to accelerate and crash into the fleeing fleet.

Below the flagship, all the starships had minimized the output of their spiritual shields. The arc defense was concentrated at the head of the starship and abandoned the flanks and the rear. In such a way, all the spiritual energy was concentrated on the billions of turrets, unleashing the strongest firepower. Such an aggressive strategy required a lot of control over the starship to ensure that its flanks were not exposed to the enemy's bombardment.

Or rather, the attackers were 120% confident in their firepower.. They believed that, with a charge and a salvo, the enemy would be torn apart and utterly defeated!
