Lord of All Gods

After Ye Liuyun wiped out the vanguard of the Imperial Guard, he led his black-armored elite soldiers straight toward Jiang Yuntian. The firepower war chariots were also dispatched to help Xiao Heng continue attacking the Imperial Guard’s main force.

Ye Liuyun’s speed of reaction left even Jiang Yuntian in admiration.

By now, the chances of Jiang Yuntian escaping through normal means were slim. The Imperial Guard soldiers around him probably wouldn’t last long against Ye Liuyun.

He let out a long sigh and immediately turned back toward his command tent.

Inside his tent, an array master had set up a teleportation formation that could send him back to the Fire Seal Dynasty at any time.

Ye Liuyun had been keeping a close eye on Jiang Yuntian’s every move all along.

Under these circumstances, Jiang Yuntian had nowhere to run. Yet his sudden return to the tent made Ye Liuyun suspicious.

"Could there be something unusual inside his tent?"

With that thought, he immediately activated his time power to freeze time, then took his four divine soul avatars and charged into the tent right behind Jiang Yuntian.

In truth, Jiang Yuntian’s tent was equipped not only with a teleportation formation, but also with offensive and defensive formations. Anyone who dared to intrude would be met with their attacks.

However, with time frozen, the formations couldn’t activate. And Jiang Yuntian, in the midst of preparing to trigger the teleportation formation, had no idea that Ye Liuyun had already closed in behind him.

Ye Liuyun’s divine soul immediately plunged into Jiang Yuntian’s soul sea and began a soul search.

Inside Jiang Yuntian’s soul sea were a shield against divine soul attacks, a spear for launching divine soul attacks, and a soul-poisoning flower — but all of them were frozen in place and utterly useless.

Ye Liuyun conducted the soul search, confirmed there were no other dangers lurking in his soul sea, and then took the opportunity to learn more about him.

This guy’s power of bloodline is actually stronger than mine. Through the soul search, Ye Liuyun discovered that Jiang Yuntian’s power of bloodline was indeed superior to his own — in fact, within the entire Fire Seal Dynasty, it was likely second only to the Fire Seal King, Jiang Yuantang.

He also took the chance to assess Jiang Yuantang’s strength, and found that Jiang Yuantang’s power of bloodline surpassed his own, while his divine soul power was likely not far behind either. His physical body was formidable, and his true essence was exceptionally condensed. The only issue was that he simply couldn’t break through to the Void Realm, and no reason could be found.

The same was true for the other powerful cultivators of the Fire Seal Dynasty — no matter how strong they were, none could break through to the Void Realm. As a result, the dynasty actually had quite a number of late-stage Guiyi Ninth Layer martial cultivators with tremendous power.

With no hope of advancement, these individuals had no choice but to attach themselves to the dynasty and serve at its command. Otherwise, the Fire Seal King would send troops against their families — he would never allow the existence of anyone strong enough to threaten the dynasty.

Jiang Yuntian’s knowledge of the Fire Seal Dynasty far surpassed that of the other princes as well. He had control over numerous powerful factions and channels for acquiring resources, and Ye Liuyun felt it would be a waste to kill him. On top of that, Jiang Yuntian’s personal spatial world contained a considerable amount of high-grade cultivation resources.

So Ye Liuyun immediately planted a slave seal on Jiang Yuntian, erased the dynasty’s guardian imprint from his soul sea, and kept him at his side. Both avatars also returned to his own soul sea.

The moment time resumed, Ye Liuyun had his black-armored soldiers fall back slightly, then had Jiang Yuntian step forward to call a halt to all fighting and order the army to surrender.

The powerful martial cultivators under Ye Liuyun’s control also gathered around, surrounding Jiang Yuntian to prevent the enemy from reclaiming him.

The Imperial Guard commander immediately realized that Jiang Yuntian had been taken under the enemy’s control.

Jiang Yuntian made no attempt to hide it, telling him directly: "I’ve already been taken over by Ye Liuyun. Order the army to surrender. Ye Liuyun won’t kill me — he only wants the dynasty to send a ransom for my return.

If you dare to defy this order, once I return, the first thing I’ll do is have Father King have you executed!"

Ye Liuyun also chimed in to persuade the commander: "Surrender. If you refuse and I end up killing Jiang Yuntian as a result, the Fire Seal King will never forgive you.

And if you don’t surrender, both the Fire Seal King and Jiang Yuntian will hold a grudge against you in the future. Why resist for nothing? Who are you even putting on a show for?"

The commander thought it over and had to admit that Ye Liuyun had a point. The lives of these Imperial Guard soldiers were certainly worth less than the prince’s. Even if they were captured by Ye Liuyun, they could be recruited again later.

But if the First Prince were harmed because of him, the Fire Seal King would never let him off.

At that moment, Jiang Yuntian also took out a voice transmission talisman and said the same to the Fire Seal King, asking him to order the Imperial Guard commander to surrender.

The Fire Seal King didn’t hesitate for a moment and ordered all his soldiers to surrender, agreeing to pay a ransom, asking only that Ye Liuyun spare Jiang Yuntian’s life.

Ye Liuyun agreed on the spot, then ordered his army to halt their advance and wait for the enemy soldiers to surrender.

By this point, the other armies had been largely decimated. Even without receiving orders, they were already prepared to surrender. Only the Imperial Guard was in somewhat better shape, with roughly sixty thousand fighters still capable of combat.

The Imperial Guard commander didn’t dare delay any further and immediately ordered the entire Imperial Guard to surrender to Ye Liuyun.

Cui Daoran and Xiao Heng were absolutely thrilled. Across the entire battlefield, aside from the sixty-thousand-odd Imperial Guard soldiers at the Ninth Realm, there were over a hundred thousand prisoners of war from various cultivation levels. The cultivation resources alone in their hands would keep them supplied for quite some time, not to mention having so many living targets to train against.

The two of them immediately divided the Imperial Guard between themselves, then took the prisoners off to plunder resources, reorganize, and conduct combat training.

The prisoners who had fought against the Death Legion were returned directly to the local army, which considerably boosted the local forces’ strength as well.

This time, the Demon Vine didn’t compete with the demon clan legions over corpses. After replenishing its own consumption, it was recalled by Ye Liuyun into the spatial world. As a result, the two demon clan legions also reaped a large haul of resources.

Afterward, the army distributed all the resources that had been seized from the Fire Seal Star System.

The First Clone also helped reorganize the Black Armor Elite soldiers. This unit was expanded to six thousand men. Since they were all directly controlled by Ye Liuyun through slave seals, their combat strength was formidable, and they had already developed the fighting style of the former Blade Team.

Ye Liuyun felt they hadn’t been sufficiently tempered in this battle, so he had the First Clone take them to Xiao Heng and Cui Daoran to requisition some Ninth Realm soldiers for sparring and training. They burned through over twenty thousand of the newly surrendered Imperial Guard before he finally let them stand down.

Ye Liuyun personally dealt with Jiang Yuntian, making him hand over every resource stored within his spatial world. He also had the various factions under Jiang Yuntian’s control transmit their resources to him via spatial transfer arrays.

Among everything received, he kept all the resources for cultivating bloodlines for himself. Combined with the bloodline cultivation resources that Lan Xin had located, he divided them between himself and his two clones. As for the other resources, since he had no shortage of them, he distributed everything else to the others.

Both Li Zhaoyuan and Cui Daoran each received a Void-tier weapon. By now, the commanders throughout Ye Liuyun’s various armies were essentially all equipped with Void-tier weapons—all of them seized from Jiang Yunfei and Jiang Yuntian.
