It turned out that shortly after dozens of breaches were created in the Celestial Canopy Shield by lightning strikes, Dao Lao and his team's systems immediately detected a large amount of energy from the Mastanians outside the shield. It was at this moment that Dao Lao and Dream Jia quickly realized that these giant lightning strikes not only punctured the Celestial Canopy Shield but also created massive electric columns on the surface of these breaches. Another function of these giant lightning strikes was to assist in transporting the Mastanian soldiers from the Everstar to the Mu star through the teleportation channels.
Dream Jia's energy blast accurately hit the first griffin-like creature that showed its head, igniting it into a fireball before it could breach the Celestial Canopy Shield, causing it to wail and fall down. However, after successfully shooting down this griffin, more griffins swiftly flew out from dozens of breaches on the Celestial Canopy Shield, each carrying Mastanian soldiers of various sizes. Upon appearance, these griffins immediately formed a charge formation without explanation and charged directly towards the direction of the Mu star palace.
At the same time, General Tie Dao also understood why Dao Lao ordered him to immediately open fire on the sky. Therefore, under General Tie Dao's command, the defending troops stationed around the Mu star palace opened fire at the Mastanian army pouring into the Celestial Canopy Shield. The troops further away from the palace were on high alert, strictly guarding against any Mastanians attempting to launch attacks from the air within their respective areas while awaiting reinforcement orders from the palace.
"Everyone, concentrate your firepower! Make sure to block the enemy at the breaches! Don't let them land!" General Tie Dao calmly commanded the troops, using gigantic crossbows resembling primitive designs but comparable in range and power to the most modern anti-aircraft missiles from Haoyun's hometown, shooting tens of thousands of heavy arrows towards the Mastanians attempting to breach the Celestial Canopy Shield. Because these heavy arrows were equipped with explosive warheads, even if they did not hit the Mastanian griffins directly, they could weave a net of fire explosions in the air to intercept those attempting to fly towards the Mu star palace.
However, as more and more Mastanian griffins poured into the Celestial Canopy Shield using the teleportation channels, more griffins quickly spread around the Mu star palace under the cover of the front-line griffins. Consequently, more and more griffins evaded the Evermu's anti-air heavy crossbows and successfully descended to an altitude suitable for ground combat, beginning a fierce counter-attack against these gigantic crossbows.
As previously mentioned, the Evermu retained divine power shields bestowed by the Realm of Myriad Spirits. However, after the Great Explosion and being influenced by the chaotic flows of black hole energy, the strength of their shields had decreased. After a brief skirmish, everyone could clearly feel that the strength of the Mastanians attacking the Mu star had been greatly enhanced due to the Destroyer's strength reaching a half-step Tianwu level.
In addition, the Evermu's anti-air firepower, although exposed, suffered from poor mobility, making them vulnerable to destruction by the Mastanian air forces. After the initial three-pronged attack, the Evermu's anti-air firepower quickly lost its effective restraining ability over the Mastanian griffins. What worried the Evermu even more was that due to the Mastanians' enhanced strength under the influence of the Destroyer, they began to resist the repulsion force of the Celestial Canopy Shield. This directly allowed the Mastanians to enter the interior of the Celestial Canopy Shield more recklessly and launch wave after wave of attacks on the Mu star palace.
"Quickly! Stop them! Keep the battlefield in the air as much as possible! Don't let them organize ground attack forces!" General Tie Dao, with extensive combat experience, quickly discerned that the enemy's primary objective in attacking the Mu star palace was to prevent Her Majesty from reinforcing the Celestial Canopy Shield further, allowing the Destroyer to create more and larger breaches on the shield, facilitating more Mastanian entry into the Mu star.
Therefore, General Tie Dao ordered the troops around the Mu star palace to reinforce it, preventing Mastanian soldiers from parachuting to the ground, while ordering an air combat fleet composed of flying boats resembling Venetian gondolas to assemble in the airspace above the Mu star palace. With the support of gigantic ground-to-air crossbows, they attempted to push back the Mastanian griffins that were trying to press towards the Mu star palace.
Although the combat power of the Mastanian army was significantly higher than that of the Evermu, they were limited by the narrow exit of the teleportation channel, restricting the number of troops they could teleport, forcing them to fight outnumbered. Coupled with the more disciplined training of the Evermu occupying more advantageous positions on the battlefield, the battle between the two sides remained in a stalemate.
However, there were still more Mastanians waiting to enter the Mu star. As the Destroyer continued to create more breaches on the Celestial Canopy Shield, the number of Mastanian troops gradually reached a state equal to that of the Evermu's army. Consequently, the Mastanians with the stronger overall strength would gradually gain the initiative, and the Evermu's doomsday would truly arrive. After all, in the face of absolute strength, all advantages built on external conditions were just fleeting clouds.
Before the war began, the Evermu had a very clear understanding of their own strength. On the other hand, the Mastanians, who had always relied on brute force to solve problems due to their low intelligence, learned some simple transportation tactics from Amu Zinen after the Destroyer gained power from Amu Zinen, thus understanding the need to launch continuous attacks on the Mu star palace while diverting forces to attack the outside garrison of the Mu star palace. Naturally, their purpose was to keep those garrisons tied down and prevent them from promptly and effectively reinforcing the Mu star palace.

Meanwhile, the Destroyer continued to stand on the Celestial Canopy Shield, constantly summoning lightning to attack the shield. However, after Judge Yan personally reinforced the Celestial Canopy Shield, the Destroyer could no longer easily pierce through the shield with his giant sword as before.
"Hmph! Give up! Your efforts are all in vain! Because those powers never belonged to you, and you'll never be able to fully unleash them! You know very well that this damn shield will sooner or later be completely shattered by me! So, I suggest you surrender sooner! That way, I might even allow you to die a bit quicker!" The Destroyer continued to channel his power into the giant sword, attempting to drive it deeper into the celestial shield, all the while wearing a cruel smile and persistently taunting Judge Yan.
"Tch! You're just good at running your mouth! Otherwise, why do you only dare to hide outside and order those little ghosts to their deaths, but don't dare to come in and try my fists and feet?!" Hovering in the air, while simultaneously killing Mastanians rushing out of the transport channel, Dao Lao heard the taunts and responded disdainfully on behalf of Yan Chaoyue, who was still meditating below.
"Hmph! Don't be impatient! After all, the Eternal Star has become a dead star, so I have to transport my descendants here to continue burning, killing, and plundering. After I bring my descendants over, I'll come in and play with you!" Facing Dao Lao's mockery, the Destroyer showed no anger but rather mimicked Dao Lao's expression, replying disdainfully.
"Oh, right! You must be curious why the other two layers of uncontrolled formations haven't attacked us?" Perhaps feeling confident of victory, the Destroyer, after retorting Dao Lao, seemed suddenly interested, continuing to breach the celestial shield and bringing up another topic.
Dao Lao naturally welcomed the Destroyer's initiative to clarify for himself. So he immediately asked, "Oh? Then why is that?"
"Don't forget, I was also involved in creating this Crimson Poison Mist Formation. But at that time, my power was limited, and coupled with the Great Explosion causing this formation to mutate, I was unable to control her. But now, as my strength continues to grow, I naturally have the ability to independently control this formation." The Destroyer replied unabashedly.
"And then? Did you use the Crimson Poison Mist Formation to evade the attacks of the other two formations?" Dao Lao continued to inquire, effortlessly turning and using the Demon-Slaying Cane transformed into a whip to directly split several griffins that were flying out of the transport channel into halves.
"Hmph! Impressive skill!" The Destroyer looked at the griffins split in half without anger but instead cheered for Dao Lao's spectacular performance.
"Then what? I used the Crimson Poison Mist Formation to play a little trick, hiding my energy within the integration of the Crimson Poison Mist Formation. In this way, the other two formations couldn't identify foreign energy from me, naturally wouldn't attack me! Moreover, without sensing a target for attack, neither the Crimson Poison Mist Formation nor the Indestructible Star Formation would launch an attack, naturally unable to generate a rain of destruction capable of destroying everything!"
"Are you sure about that?" Dao Lao questioned, pointing to the crimson poison mist entwined with the purple-black light membrane emanating from the Destroyer.
"Oh, you misunderstood. These crimson poison mists aren't attacking me; they're just assisting me in hiding my energy and trying to merge me into them. From the perspective of the other two formations, this is an energy fluctuation occurring within the Crimson Poison Mist Formation, not a signal of encountering an enemy. As my strength continues to grow, I will eventually have complete control over the Crimson Poison Mist Formation. These toxins will no longer be able to attempt to merge me but will become a part of me. By then, I will not only be able to leave Eternal Muxing but also have the ability to leave this damn black hole! Hmph! When that time comes, I will definitely take back everything I have lost over the years!" The Destroyer blew away the crimson poison mist swirling around his face, speaking confidently and resolutely.
Then, the Destroyer continued arrogantly, "By the way, there's one more thing you should know. That is, the real hero who prevented the three layers of formations from descending and directly swallowing Eternal Muxing is the Crimson Poison Mist Formation. Because fundamentally, the Crimson Poison Mist Formation has energy attributes completely different from the other two layers of formations, which prevents them from launching a main attack against the Crimson Poison Mist Formation. Moreover, due to the properties retained in those two layers of formations, they are always tightly attracted by the Crimson Poison Mist Formation and always maintain a safe distance from the surface of Eternal Muxing to avoid causing harm to those living on Eternal Muxing."
"So from this point of view, if it weren't for the Crimson Poison Mist Formation we created, you Eternal Muxing people might have been wiped out clean by the two layers of formations created by the realm of the spirits. So, please don't say that I'm conducting a massacre on Eternal Muxing. Because what I'm doing now is just taking back the lives that originally didn't belong to you!"
"Stop your meowing smelly farts! Even if we die, we are the lost souls of the realm of the spirits! Want to get energy from us? You're simply delusional!" This was General Tie Zhu's roar. Dao Lao immediately turned to check, and then he saw General Tie Zhu, who was already sitting on a large flying boat, leading an elite flying squadron all the way to his front.
The Destroyer sneered, "Heh! You pitiful beings of the lower realms! You're so loyal to the realm of the spirits, but will they really protect you? Besides sending in a few useless pawns to stir up trouble, what else can you do? Oh, right! They dare do nothing! Because they are too cowardly to risk their lives, so many years have passed, and they still dare not enter the black hole to search for possible survivors!"
"Hmph! I advise you lowly beings to give up and submit to me obediently! In that case, I promise to transform all of you into my subjects. I will lead you to create a kingdom that belongs only to us Mastanians!" The Destroyer seemingly kindly persuaded.
"I'm telling you, aren't you damn annoying?! You know Eternal Muxing people will never surrender, yet you keep blabbering here endlessly. It's really irritating! Hey! Are you scared of us, that's why you keep trying to persuade us to surrender?! Hmph! Just a guy who knows how to bluff! Watch me blow your ass up!" At this moment, Dream Jia also flew in the air on a flying boat. Just as she flew directly below the celestial shield where the Destroyer was standing, she raised the Equality of All Beings and aimed at the Destroyer's buttocks.
Because the Destroyer had experienced the power of the Equality of All Beings, he felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw Dream Jia aiming at his buttocks with it. Subconsciously, under a strong inexplicable pressure, he involuntarily clenched his buttocks. At the same time, even the tentacles wriggling around the Destroyer's crotch consciously curled up into a shape resembling protective gear, guarding the Destroyer's buttocks tightly.
