Lord of All Gods

"Are all the people of the Fire Seal Dynasty idiots? I’ve already killed a prince, and you still expect me to stand still and let you hit me?"

Ye Liuyun merely muttered this in his mind, too lazy to argue with that commander.

The snow wolf beneath him didn’t stop at all either, charging into the enemy’s imperial guard formation alongside those five thousand surrendered praetorian.

These five thousand newly surrendered praetorian had received orders to fight to the death, so they all thought they were doomed, fighting desperately with grief and indignation. Though they lacked armor, their combat strength was considerably higher than the armored imperial guard soldiers across from them.

So they didn’t suffer any losses in the initial head-on clash. Afterwards, when Ye Liuyun and Cui Daoran arrived, they began reaping lives one-sidedly. Those five thousand newly surrendered praetorian, as they fought, also saw hope, so gradually they began displaying their cultivation realm advantages.

The two avatars also led the black-armored elite troops on both wings, cutting the hundred thousand praetorian into several sections horizontally. Subsequently, Xiao Heng also released the six thousand plus soldiers at the ninth level of the Return to One Realm from his hands, sending them to attack the rear of this imperial guard force.

These hundred thousand praetorian were cut into several large chunks by Ye Liuyun’s several teams. But each chunk still contained over twenty thousand soldiers, so their combat pressure remained considerable.

The pressure on Ye Liuyun’s side was even greater—those assassins and martial cultivators were all targeting him.

However, those martial cultivators with powerful divine souls also suffered losses as soon as they attacked. Several powerful experts’ divine souls rushed into Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness, competing to kill him and claim merit, but none of them came out, instead suffering backlash.

As for those assassins, the moment they approached Ye Liuyun, they were controlled by his divine soul’s crimson pupils, revealing their forms, and were then cleanly slaughtered by Cui Daoran and his men following behind—Ye Liuyun didn’t even need to lift a finger.

Ye Liuyun’s current divine soul power wasn’t just strong in attack capability; his detection ability had also improved greatly. These assassins had been within his detection range from the moment they concealed themselves—not a single one escaped.

The enemy’s imperial guard commander was also suppressed by Ye Liuyun’s power of bloodline, then cleaved in two with a single blade—he never expected Ye Liuyun’s power of bloodline, blade intent, and true essence to all be so powerful.

The imperial guard’s vice commander had originally been guarding the rear. When the first avatar led troops to divide their forces, he conveniently shot purple light from the purple pupils on his divine soul directly into the vice commander’s divine soul, completely shattering his divine soul with the purple light—he never reacted at all.

The guards beside him didn’t even know how he died. No one detected this covert divine soul attack method.

With this, Xiao Heng’s progress became much smoother. Though he didn’t have any particularly powerful experts in his hands, the praetorian at the rear weren’t strong either.

Especially after Ye Liuyun gave him a void-grade weapon, he could hold his own for a while even when fighting ninth-level Return to One Realm soldiers, no longer needing to hide behind his guard team constantly.

Over twenty thousand praetorian were chased and killed by them, quickly driven out of the main army’s formation, then surrounded, and ultimately over ten thousand were captured by six thousand plus men.

The two avatars led fewer than three thousand black-armored troops and killed the most ruthlessly, completely treating those praetorian as practice targets. From the moment they divided them, they maintained an encirclement formation, killing from the outside in. Only when roughly ten thousand remained did they stop and accept the praetorian’ surrender.

On Ye Liuyun’s side, he led Cui Daoran to directly cut through the imperial guard vanguard, then flanked and encircled from both sides. Ye Liuyun enjoyed the charge and slaughter, and his Demon-Slaying Blade also got its fill of enjoyment.

Later in the battle, Ye Liuyun also released the Devil Vine and his demon beasts, letting them gain some experience as well. These praetorian truly lacked combat experience—as long as they didn’t encounter late ninth-level Return to One Realm soldiers, Ye Liuyun felt that Lei Ming and Long Nu could both fight them.

In the end, over half of these hundred thousand praetorian were killed, and those who ultimately surrendered numbered less than fifty thousand.

Ye Liuyun, his two avatars, and the demon beasts had all fought to their satisfaction, so they didn’t keep anyone for practice, handing all of them over to Cui Daoran for training.

With the previous example of five thousand surrendered praetorian, Ye Liuyun no longer felt these praetorian were completely useless—driven to desperation, they would also appropriately burst forth with bloody resolve.

"They’re all yours now. Train them until they develop bloody resolve, and when you’ve used them up, capture more!" Ye Liuyun told Cui Daoran.

"Yes!" Cui Daoran agreed cheerfully, leading the soldiers away to train.

Ye Liuyun immediately returned to his spatial world to absorb Draconis essence blood, elevating his power of bloodline.

Having witnessed Jiang Yunfei’s power of bloodline, he felt that to be safe, he should further improve his own power of bloodline, lest he be suppressed by Jiang Yuntian’s power of bloodline when they faced off.

The Devil Vine remained outside to devour and collect the powerful corpses on the battlefield, then returned to the avatar’s spatial world to sleep.

Xiao Heng and Cui Daoran were both seizing the time to train their troops. They knew Ye Liuyun’s personality—since he had already torn all pretense with the Fire Seal Dynasty, he certainly wouldn’t care about any prince. Especially Jiang Yuntian; sooner or later they would have to kill their way back.

Those surrendered praetorian also became practice targets for their troop training, which was similarly a form of tempering for those praetorian. So Cui Daoran and Xiao Heng each led a team and directly began live combat.

The two armies that King Huoyin had mobilized arrived quickly, with one of them reaching the location first. But upon arrival, they discovered that both sides were engaged in fierce combat, fighting desperately with no signs of training exercises.

This left them somewhat bewildered, unable to determine which side belonged to Ye Liuyun’s forces. So after landing, they adopted a triangular formation to confront both sides, only to find that before they could even deploy their battle array, the two forces charged at them together.

Ye Liuyun hadn’t refined much Draconis essence blood yet, but he still emerged with his demonic beasts and women to join the battle, taking the opportunity to stretch his legs.

This time, he used only blade intent, leading the women to slaughter soldiers at the middle stage of Unity, while releasing the demon vine to encircle soldiers at this realm.

His two avatars led the demonic beasts to kill soldiers at the late stage of Unity, employing not only blade intent but also divine essence and Spatial Force. Meanwhile, Cui Daoran and Xiao Heng led soldiers at the ninth level to charge against the ninth-level soldiers in this army.

As for the lowest-level soldiers in the enemy army, Li Zhaoyuan led sixty thousand soldiers at the eighth level of Unity to encircle and annihilate them.

Everyone was seizing the time to use these people for practice. The blades in Ye Liuyun’s and his avatars’ hands grew excited as well, fighting to their hearts’ content. Moreover, they accepted no surrender, only stopping when they were bathed in blood from head to toe and their divine essence was depleted.

Ye Liuyun led the women, and after everyone else’s true essence was exhausted, he stored them back into his spatial world. He then took Ye Tiandao and A Xing, using only blade intent to practice his swordsmanship on these soldiers.

This hundred-thousand-strong army was truly unfortunate—not only did Ye Liuyun and his avatars refuse surrender, but Cui Daoran’s side wouldn’t accept it either.
