The martial cultivators who had come to take advantage of the situation now realized that Ye Liuyun intended to annihilate them all.
They had originally looked down on these soldiers. Those who dared to come were not weak in cultivation realm or strength. However, once they engaged with these soldiers, they discovered that facing an army, their strength simply couldn’t be brought into play.
The soldiers coordinated with each other and attacked together. They could block one attack but couldn’t withstand so many strikes at once. Often, they were killed immediately upon engagement, without even a chance for a second move—they couldn’t react at all.
And these black-armored elite soldiers all wore void-grade armor and carried treasures that defended against soul attacks, completely unafraid of their assaults.
Even Cui Daoran’s soldiers wore true-grade ninth-tier armor, capable of blocking their attacks.
Among these martial cultivators were also many spies sent by various dynasties. Knowing the strength of these black-armored elites, they didn’t dare charge outward but instead directly attacked Cui Daoran’s soldiers.
Although Cui Daoran’s soldiers were slightly weaker, the gap wasn’t large. Moreover, they had void-grade second-tier puppet beasts and two zombie puppets—even peak ninth-tier martial cultivators couldn’t break through.
Some martial cultivators with relatively strong soul power had originally been used to scout battlefield conditions. Apart from their powerful souls, their combat strength was weak. Facing these soldiers equipped with soul-defense treasures, they weren’t even a match for a single exchange and were easily killed.
In the end, all these martial cultivators and spies who had rushed over to join the commotion were completely wiped out in the pincer attack from both sides.
The corpses were collected and taken back to Ye Liuyun by the black-armored elites. The storage rings were handed over to Lan Xin for processing, while the corpses were given to Devil Vine for devouring and absorption.
Yu Xiaofeng also deliberately arranged for Cui Daoran to dispatch a thousand martial cultivators in ten teams to patrol the perimeter on flying boats, preventing these martial cultivators from causing trouble again.
So after Ye Liuyun returned, he temporarily had nothing to do for the moment.
He didn’t waste time either but seized the opportunity to refine a Draconis Origin Pill with his clone respectively to improve his divine essence quality.
However, he had fought quite frequently recently, and after such prolonged divine essence refinement, its quality was already high enough. Once he absorbed the Draconis Origin Pill, his realm showed unstoppable signs of breakthrough.
Seeing that there was still time available, he directly returned to his clone’s spatial world to accelerate his breakthrough.
This time he still broke through one minor realm reaching late-stage eighth tier of Return-to-One Realm. Crossing each minor tier in Return-to-One Realm required massive amounts of energy. Both he and his clone consumed several Draconis Origin Pills each just for this small improvement.
After breaking through in realm he filled two Essence Storage Stones together with his clone first The remaining Essence Storage Stone belonging to his second clone didn’t need deployment so it slowly replenished inside central army tent
Meanwhile Tang Xinyao leading Tang family disciples demon beasts women already fought fiercely against surrendered troops spatial world having gotten fill battle Also recovering true essence preparing fight again
They hadn’t chance fight previous battle so found surrendered troops practice hands fun Previously given surrendered troops already exhausted
Army tense preparation Ye Liuyun instead took people around him steal moments busy schedule improve realms practice actual combat
At this moment Tong Xin other artifact refiners finally delivered firepower chariots
However new firepower chariots appearance quite similar previous ones only during combat three rows energy cannons extend roof
Each row energy cannons only five barrels Each firepower chariot only fifteen energy cannons total
"This number energy cannons seems fewer than before"
Ye Liuyun somewhat worried seeing this thing might not have stronger attack power previous firepower chariots
Tong Xin Qiong Qi explained together "Previous firepower chariots cost too great unsuitable mass production moreover attack capability wasn’t very strong"
"This new type firepower chariot although only fifteen energy cannon barrels can quickly move various directions freely adjust attack direction Chariot movement speed fast can dodge enemy attacks"
"Each energy cannon’s attack power already comparable void-grade second-tier expert’s strike can easily blast kill peak Return-to-One ninth-tier martial cultivator Attack power absolutely much greater than previous firepower chariots"
"Moreover lower cost more energy-efficient can supply army mass production We first batch manufactured three hundred such chariots another three hundred available three days later"
Ye Liuyun didn’t have them test this time Such powerful attacks worried planets spatial world couldn’t withstand Anyway believed Tong Xin Qiong Qi others simply directly assigned those firepower chariots various armies let practical combat test
These three hundred firepower chariots were first allocated fifty each to the Black Armor Elite Corps, Xiao Heng’s army, the two demon legions, the Death Legion, and Jiang Yuanhai’s hundred-thousand-strong army.
Three days later, another three hundred chariots would be distributed—fifty each to the remaining five defensive armies, with fifty kept at the planet where the command tent was located. Cui Daoran would dispatch troops to operate them for defense. The nine obsolete spherical firepower chariots were also handed over to Cui Daoran.
These new-style chariots were easy to operate. One person handled driving while another controlled the energy cannon attacks; two people working together sufficed. They could also fly directly through starry space like flying boats.
The chariots’ defenses could withstand continuous bombardment from peak Ninth Layer powerhouses for an entire day. Moreover, both internal and external formations could block divine sense attacks—Evil Creature couldn’t see what was happening inside. This sturdy defense was more than enough to ensure the chariots’ safety.
The energy required for the chariots had also been prepared in advance: thirty units of source power, roughly enough to guarantee a full day of continuous bombardment.
Three days later, before the Fire Seal Dynasty’s army arrived, another three hundred chariots were completed and deployed.
"The Fire Seal Dynasty’s army will arrive here in three days."
Ye Liuyun’s golden pupils had already spotted the dynasty fleet in starry space.
The core of this fleet consisted of fifteen hundred-thousand-level warships divided into vanguard, center, and rear forces. Numerous smaller warships surrounded them peripherally, with thousands more small defensive warships and flying boats on the outer edges—clearly arranged to prevent Ye Liuyun from launching sneak attacks against them.
"The Fire Seal Dynasty is going all out this time. They’ve assigned twenty powerful guardians to each commander and deputy commander of every army route, and even ten-thousand-level minor commanders have two guardians each." Ye Liuyun also noticed their strengthened protection for commanders.
He felt his own side should similarly enhance protection for their commanders as well.
Thus he had two zombie puppets go separately to guard the commanders of the two demon legions. Demon Lion was dispatched to protect Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan. Though Demon Lion’s cultivation realm wasn’t high, he possessed a Void-grade fifth-rank Wind-Thunder Fan in his hands—a tremendously useful item in battle.
