Lord of All Gods

Li Konghan was the first to be killed by a beam of white light from Ye Liuyun. He knew that once Li Konghan died, the remaining soldiers who wanted to surrender would no longer be bound by any contract.

And after Li Konghan’s death, although the remaining elite soldiers around him didn’t surrender immediately, it was clear they weren’t fighting as desperately as before.

As soon as Ye Liuyun led his troops back to encircle Li Konghan, Qin Mu immediately realized that Ye Liuyun probably didn’t have enough manpower to surround Li Konghan.

Taking into account that Ye Liuyun hadn’t sent many people to pursue them in the first place, and they were all elite soldiers, Qin Mu figured Ye Liuyun only wanted to scare them away so he could focus on wiping out Li Konghan.

Qin Mu immediately called for his troops to halt, then chased after Ye Liuyun to attack again. He believed Ye Liuyun’s elite soldiers had been bombarding their warships and pursuing them all this way, so their true essence should be nearly depleted. After another fight with Li Konghan’s remaining soldiers, their true essence ought to be completely exhausted.

He wanted to seize this opportunity to turn the tide. With luck, he might even be able to rescue the entire army under Li Konghan’s command.

When Ye Liuyun’s divine sense detected that Qin Mu hadn’t retreated but was instead pursuing with troops again, the corner of his mouth curled upward.

Qin Mu’s approach would absolutely work against ordinary army soldiers. But his soldiers were all equipped with essence-storing stones—they couldn’t care less about this level of consumption.

Ye Liuyun simply reminded his soldiers in secret to replenish while consuming, always staying prepared for another battle. Even if they wiped out both Qin Mu and Li Konghan’s armies completely, they still needed to be prepared for enemy reinforcements.

So his five thousand elite soldiers were prepared to face at least four or five waves of battles against ninth-realm powerhouses. Qin Mu’s scattered soldiers were nothing more than slightly stronger practice fodder to them.

The thousand soldiers Li Konghan had released had just emerged when they discovered Li Konghan had been killed. Moreover, the hundred-plus soldiers at the front had suddenly vanished, frightening those behind into immediately stopping.

But after surveying the battlefield, they found the ground forces had been surrounded by enemy troops—five thousand ninth-realm soldiers had encircled the elite ground forces.

And approaching from the air were Ye Liuyun’s five thousand elite soldiers. On both sides, demon beasts swept continuously with black and white light, cutting down large swathes of them with each pass, leaving them nowhere to escape.

When Li Konghan was alive, they had no choice but to fight a bloody path for him. But now that Li Konghan was dead, fighting desperately was pointless—it would only invite even more frenzied slaughter.

These men now had no commander either, and immediately began fleeing in all directions toward wherever they thought was safe.

Ye Liuyun’s five thousand soldiers immediately split into several teams, herding the fleeing soldiers back and gathering them in one place. These men now only numbered five or six hundred, and facing elite soldiers ten times their number, they surrendered at once.

Although Qin Mu’s army had already charged back, they estimated that by the time Qin Mu arrived, they would nearly all be slaughtered. They dared not gamble with their own lives.

Ye Liuyun immediately had his soldiers disperse to collect these surrendered soldiers into their spatial worlds. Any surrendered soldiers who tried to negotiate were killed on the spot, not even allowed to finish speaking. The remaining soldiers, seeing this, dared not say another word and were immediately collected into the spatial worlds by the soldiers.

And Ye Liuyun’s elite troop had already turned around, preparing to face Qin Mu once more.

After Qin Mu led his troops in another charge, he discovered that Ye Liuyun’s elite troop showed little sign of fatigue or fear. A faint sense of foreboding stirred in his heart.

But he had already drawn too close—if he fled without fighting now, he would be pursued by Ye Liuyun all over again.

So he gritted his teeth and immediately ordered everyone to charge. His army hadn’t even formed a proper formation, relying entirely on numerical superiority to exhaust Ye Liuyun’s elite troop to death.

But Ye Liuyun only let out a cold laugh, once again employing the power of time to kill Qin Mu first, then capture the ninth-realm elite guards beside him.

When time resumed, Qin Mu died on the spot, his soul devoured, while the surrounding guards were swept away by Ye Liuyun, leaving a large empty space in the formation.

On Ye Liuyun’s side, a row of late ninth-realm soldiers launched their strongest attacks together, bombarding them.

Then a second row of soldiers charged forward with another barrage, followed by a third row, a fourth row—wave after wave of bombardment that never stopped, crashing into their ranks.

And after several rounds of bombardment, Ye Liuyun’s main army had already reached close quarters.

"Kill!"

Ye Liuyun led his soldiers in a unified roar as they charged toward the opposing army.

And this orderly, earth-shaking battle cry made the enemy soldiers’ blood run cold. With Qin Mu dead, they no longer had any will to fight desperately, and immediately turned to flee once more.

There were also some late-stage Ninth Realm elite soldiers who wanted to avenge their commander, but they discovered that Ye Liuyun’s soldiers all wore identical gear, making it impossible to identify their leader.

No matter who they attacked, aside from that person fighting back, the other four nearby would also strike together, unleashing even stronger combined attacks against them.

These soldiers showed no signs of depleted true essence whatsoever—it was as if they had inexhaustible reserves. Often, a single combined strike would eliminate one of their elites.

After several attempts, the elites in their ranks perished one by one. The remaining soldiers finally couldn’t withstand the assault and could only flee. Those who couldn’t escape in time simply surrendered, only to be casually collected into spatial worlds by the soldiers, who then continued their advance. They still couldn’t figure out who the commander was.

The demon beasts also charged forward, surrounding a squad of Unity Seventh and Eighth Realm soldiers to practice their skills.

Just as Ye Liuyun was directing his forces to pursue Qin Mu’s defeated troops, several powerful cultivators with strong soul force suddenly launched sneak attacks on the demon beasts.

These were elites dispatched by Jiang Yuntian. Their attempts to ambush the women had failed, all intercepted by the second clone, so they could only target the demon beasts instead.

What they hadn’t anticipated was that the demon beasts’ soul force was actually stronger than theirs. Once their souls entered the demon beasts’ seas of consciousness, they never came back out.

The demon beasts had all devoured dragon souls and absorbed considerable soul power. They merely lacked refinement in soul force application—their inherent soul strength was anything but weak. Moreover, they had cultivated various soul protection methods including soul-shaking waves, flames, lightning, and spatial overlapping, making their seas of consciousness well-defended. Once these people’s souls entered, there was no return.

The ground forces were the same. The Ninth Realm soldiers in Li Konghan’s army surrendered first, followed by large numbers of Unity Seventh and Eighth Realm soldiers.

By the time the mid-Unity Realm soldiers surrendered, Li Zhaoyuan’s troops had already killed off most of them. As for the surrendered soldiers under their command, they surrendered even faster once their commander was killed.

They had originally been soldiers of the Feihong Star System, and their previous surrender had been forced. Now that the contracts controlling them had expired, they immediately laid down their weapons, unwilling to fight their own people to the death.
