Lord of All Gods

The warship was immediately blasted apart and came to a halt.

Another Imperial Guard warship also detected the anomaly here and promptly stopped, ordering its soldiers to disembark and form ranks.

Ye Liuyun temporarily ignored them, only having his black-armored elite troops surround the blasted warship and continuously bombard it, killing as many fleeing soldiers as possible.

Only when another squad of golden-armored praetorian charged over did Ye Liuyun release Xiao Heng’s army to intercept them. He also dispatched an invisible Xuanwu beast to assassinate their army’s commander.

Before the two sides could even engage in battle, that route’s Imperial Guard commander was killed by the Xuanwu beast. Then the deputy commander and several ten-thousand-man unit commanders fell one after another—even the escort teams couldn’t locate the Xuanwu beast’s whereabouts.

The entire golden-armored Imperial Guard immediately fell into chaos. Moreover, they weren’t a match for Xiao Heng’s army to begin with, and were quickly thrown into disarray before being surrounded by Xiao Heng.

At this time, the army that had originally been on alert for sneak attacks also received the Imperial Guard’s distress signal. Though they knew they certainly wouldn’t make it in time, they still headed toward this location.

They were actually only one day’s journey away from here. But now both routes of praetorian were already surrounded—one day was more than enough for Ye Liuyun to annihilate them.

Under fierce assault, these two routes of praetorian couldn’t hold out for long before their remaining soldiers began to surrender.

By the time that army arrived, Ye Liuyun had already accepted the surrendered soldiers and cleaned up the battlefield. Xiao Heng’s hundred-thousand-strong army and the black-armored elite troops were already waiting for them.

When that commander saw Ye Liuyun at the front of his army, he was eager to give battle.

This commander was Fire Seal Dynasty’s Prince Fu Jiang Yuanhai. Having led troops in campaigns abroad for many years, he was also a warmonger with abundant combat experience and command experience.

His route’s army had been through hundreds of battles as well—far stronger than the Imperial Guard’s fighting capability.

"Very well then, since we’ve encountered each other, let us have a proper battle!"

Jiang Yuanhai had heard of Ye Liuyun’s capabilities before. Seeing his army’s formation told him this opponent wasn’t simple either. So he wanted to cross moves with Ye Liuyun and see who was stronger or weaker.

However, Ye Liuyun had absolutely no intention of fighting desperately against him here. The strongest forces in his hands amounted only to these—if he expended them now there would be no way to fight later battles.

So he directly employed temporal power to freeze time stillness before charging forward planting slave seals on Jiang Yuanhai several powerful experts

Around Jiang Yuanhai there were several soldiers with powerful divine souls who could actually react slightly under Ye Liuyun temporal power But Ye Liuyun still managed plant slave seals on these people first subjugating them

These divine soul powerful soldiers all disliked wearing treasures defending against divine soul attacks precisely lure others attack their sea consciousness So controlling them first actually relatively easy instead

Then began targeting some commanders When temporal power nearly exhausted ran back front own army lines ordered advance

Jiang Yuanhai suddenly disappeared Without anyone command even strongest armies couldn’t withstand black-armored elite troops’ assault

At point released Jiang Yuanhai other commanders called soldiers surrender stop throwing lives away vain

Therefore battle didn’t last long before Jiang Yuanhai side began surrender Some powerful martial cultivators unwilling follow sell lives Ye escaped alone before encirclement completed

Didn’t pursue just took surrendered returned own forces immediately

Fire Seal King Jiang Yuantang currently extremely depressed Three routes hundred-thousand-strong armies all commanders killed captured first This reminded him need strengthen protection future avoid letting exploit gaps again

But how captured those unclear still thought invisible beasts responsible sent many divine soul space heaven-earth strong martial experts gathering places protect various routes even dispatched some hoping detect approaching scent advance warning

After returning garrison found planet returned previous let reorganize prepare defense Also allowed freely select recruits planets replenish sources strength not weak compared other So gained relatively strong combat force though only seventy thousand remained many high-realm escaped making significantly weaker than before

The hundred thousand plus Golden Armored praetorian who had surrendered were also assigned a planet by Ye Liuyun, where they would be responsible for defense.

Although these praetorian possessed considerable individual combat strength, they hadn’t seen battle in too long. Sending them out wouldn’t accomplish much, so they could only be used for defensive purposes or as a source of reinforcements for the other armies.

The commanders by Ye Liuyun’s side and Jiang Yuanhai could both go directly to the Golden Armored praetorian to select soldiers whenever they needed reinforcements. After all, the praetorian were all martial cultivators at the ninth realm—once given some training, they would certainly perform better than soldiers of lower realms.

Jiang Yuanhai didn’t hold back either, going straight there to pick out thirty thousand soldiers with the highest cultivation realms. Ye Liuyun didn’t interfere. Since he was now a commander under his own banner, the stronger his army became, the more it benefited him—he didn’t care about those sources of troops.

He also had Jiang Yuanhai’s entire army outfitted with true-grade ninth-rank armor to enhance their defensive capabilities.

As for the scouts and sword cultivators that Ye Liuyun and his clone had captured, Ye Liuyun incorporated them all into the Black Armored Elite Corps to replenish their losses.

While the Fire Seal Dynasty still needed some time to gather its main army, they were all taking advantage of this period to prepare for battle and recuperate.

After speaking with Jiang Yuanhai, Yu Xiaofeng had learned a great deal about the Fire Seal Dynasty’s military situation. Upon returning, he discussed matters with Ye Liuyun: "The strength of the Fire Seal Dynasty’s army is far greater than we anticipated..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Liuyun proactively suggested: "How about I go capture some more army commanders? We happen to have surrendered troops from several planets here who all need commanders to lead them."

Yu Xiaofeng smiled: "It has to be you who understands what I’m thinking best. However, the Fire Seal Dynasty may have already set traps waiting for you. You must make thorough preparations—if things don’t work out, retreat immediately. Absolutely do not take risks."

"I understand. Don’t worry—I won’t be careless at a time like this!" Ye Liuyun nodded solemnly in agreement. He also brought along one of his clones to coordinate with him, lest one person’s temporal power prove insufficient.

He piloted his void-grade flying vessel toward where the Fire Seal Dynasty’s army was assembling.

The Fire Seal Dynasty’s assembly point was on a planet near the Bridge Crossing Star System. The place was densely covered with formations—even defensive arrays covering the entire planet had been activated. Getting inside would be no simple matter.
