Lord of All Gods

The enemy commander hadn’t expected that a few demon beasts could cause such destruction. His twenty-thousand-man vanguard had barely served any purpose before being scattered and slaughtered. And among the remaining soldiers, vines sprouted everywhere, snatching his men away.

Then, as Ye Liuyun’s elite troops passed through, Xiao Heng’s fifty-thousand-man army charged in right after. The vanguard couldn’t resist at all, being annihilated like rotten wood crushed by a storm.

"Continue the advance!"

The commander remained unmoved, ordering his sixty-thousand-man central army to intercept Ye Liuyun’s elite force.

The second clone was the first to activate time power, killing the central army commander, then restoring the flow of time. He began sweeping with blade intent, clearing a path for Ye Liuyun’s elite troops.

Over a thousand spiritual energy battle blades condensed in the air, whistling forward together. Even soldiers using shields to block were sent flying in waves.

His strongest blade intent manifested as a hundred-zhang-long golden battle blade, formed from divine essence within a primordial spirit core in the air. It swept out in a single slash. Every soldier blocking its path was cut in half at the waist, thousands perishing on the spot.

These soldiers had all raised their shields to meet this blade, yet they failed to stop it entirely.

Ye Liuyun and his clone hadn’t expected this blade’s intent to be so powerful. He had merely unleashed his full blade intent, then infused it with divine essence and the power of heaven and earth.

"It seems my blade intent has truly grown much stronger!"

Even Ye Liuyun felt influenced upon witnessing this blade intent, itching to draw his own weapon and fight. But he restrained himself.

There were still many scouts around. If he also unleashed such powerful blade intent, he would likely be discovered and become the focus of their encirclement.

For now, he blended into the ranks, controlling the entire army’s advance and retreat at will, better able to confuse the enemy.

After delivering this slash, the second clone swept the enemies before him clean, then continued using blade intent to clear the path for the elite troops behind.

The demon beasts had gone off to surround and practice on a segment of enemy troops, no longer participating in the subsequent battle.

Ye Liuyun’s elite troops also helped bombard soldiers trying to close the gap, carving out a bloody path.

Then Xiao Heng led his men charging in behind them, directly tearing open the enemy’s central army, widening the breach more and more.

The enemy commander immediately realized that Xiao Heng’s force was also formidable, dealing with his soldiers quite easily.

So he decided to stop holding back, sending his remaining twenty-thousand-plus elite soldiers to charge together. Under the cover of the main army, they would completely surround Ye Liuyun’s forces, creating conditions for the rear army to encircle them.

"Full army press forward. We must intercept them completely."

He immediately led his personal guards charging toward Ye Liuyun’s group as well.

"Good that they’re making their move. I was afraid they’d keep sitting still!"

Ye Liuyun actually hoped they would act quickly. Because Meng Changxing’s army was already closing in. And his fifty-thousand-plus men had all penetrated deep into this enemy force.

If Meng Changxing wanted an easy fight, he would have to charge in and engage in close combat. Otherwise, he would have to split his forces. Whatever decision he made, Ye Liuyun wanted Xiao Heng’s five thousand Return-to-One Ninth Heaven soldiers to cripple them as quickly as possible, to prepare for the even stronger force behind.

Meng Changxing didn’t think much of it. Though he also faced five thousand elite soldiers, he still led his men charging straight in.

His approach wasn’t wrong—pincer attack from front and rear, fierce assault. But he had gravely underestimated the strength of Ye Liuyun’s soldiers.

The moment they engaged, Meng Changxing discovered that Ye Liuyun’s soldiers had abundant true essence, showing no signs of fatigue. Instead, they were pressing his men hard, blocking his army’s advance entirely.

This way, his rear forces couldn’t contribute at all. Those lower-realm soldiers couldn’t provide any support. Both sides were relying entirely on their higher-realm soldiers to fight head-on.

By this time, the second clone had already activated time power, splitting the enemy army commander in two with one blade. Then he began planting slave seals on the enemy’s elite soldiers.

Ye Liuyun also released his divine soul to cooperate with him. The two of them worked together and captured over three hundred soldiers at the ninth realm in one go.

Then, Ye Liuyun activated another round of temporal power, and together with his clone, captured another three hundred plus people.

When time resumed, the enemy soldiers were shocked by this sudden turn of events.

From their perspective, in the blink of an eye, all their commanders were sliced in half, and a large number of their highest realm soldiers at the front suddenly vanished.

But the battlefield left no room for contemplation. The attacks from the enemy’s powerhouses were already coming at them, forcing them to resist with all their might. At this moment, Ye Liuyun’s thunder tribulation World Destruction and Inferno Heaven Incineration were unleashed once more. Even though the opposing soldiers were all at the ninth realm, some still couldn’t withstand it.

Even those who could endure these two destructive and violent attacks of lightning and fire had little combat strength remaining. The soldiers at the front immediately retreated, which in turn caused more soldiers to withdraw, and then it became a one-sided rout.

"Chase!"

The second clone gave the order, having Ye Liuyun lead the soldiers in pursuit. He himself turned back to bring the demon beasts to reinforce Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng’s fifty thousand soldiers were led by Li Zhaoyuan to continue the pursuit and capture surrendering soldiers.

As for Xiao Heng, he only used five thousand men to block Meng Changxing’s forces. The army behind them could only bypass them and pursue Ye Liuyun’s main force from the side.

Xiao Heng paid no attention to this, nor was he worried about being surrounded. Because he knew Ye Liuyun would soon turn back to annihilate this army.

The army route that Ye Liuyun had driven off had lost all their commanders. After being pursued for a while, they had completely collapsed and lost all ability to fight.

As for Meng Changxing who had been intercepted, the powerhouses in his hands were nearly exhausted by him, and he was still being suppressed. Now that the second clone was bringing the demon beasts as reinforcements, they could resist even less and would soon be beaten back.

So the army that had come around the long way should be worried about whether they would be caught in a pincer attack.

Sure enough, the commander of that army was also experienced. Seeing signs that Meng Changxing’s side couldn’t hold on, he immediately stopped, knowing that the opportunity for battle had already passed. If he continued the pursuit, he would likely be the one caught in a pincer attack, not Ye Liuyun’s main force.

So he immediately ordered his army to move toward Meng Changxing’s forces, providing some cover for Meng Changxing, then continued to withdraw.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng and the second clone didn’t force the pursuit. Instead, they turned back to rendezvous with Ye Liuyun, capturing fleeing soldiers everywhere.

And when Ye Liuyun saw they weren’t taking the bait, he simply didn’t stop either, continuing to lead his troops in pursuit to capture surrendering soldiers. The elite troops he led were high in realm and fast, quickly intercepting most of the pursuing army and capturing many prisoners.
