Everything was ready, waiting only for the battle to begin.

The Fire Seal Dynasty’s scout flying vessels had already sailed to the starry sky beyond their outpost planet, only to be driven back by patrol teams and forced to stop far away in space to monitor them.

All the armies were quietly awaiting the start of the great battle. Only the artifact refiners and others inside the clone’s spatial world were still rushing to manufacture firepower war chariots. At this moment, all the army commanders had gathered in the command tent, awaiting orders.

Then, Ye Liuyun suddenly stood up and left the tent. He had long since detected twelve invisible experts entering his divine sense detection range; they were now very close, surrounding their planet from all sides. At this distance, they could no longer escape.

As soon as he went out, he used time power to freeze time and charged toward those people. Their Spatial Force or heaven-and-earth power might be stronger than his, but their souls were definitely not stronger than his.

Those with strong divine sense detection abilities also knew that powerful divine senses were probing outward from here, so they dared not enter within two days’ range of Ye Liuyun.

After planting slave seals on them, Ye Liuyun immediately returned to the tent, withdrew his time power, then ordered those twelve invisible experts to infiltrate the Fire Seal Dynasty’s army and gather intelligence.

The other commanders saw him go out and return so quickly; they all knew he had swiftly dealt with the scouts outside.

They all knew that with the great battle about to begin, sending scouts back and forth was normal business. These commanders were all battle-hardened veterans—none of them showed surprise or concern.

"The Fire Seal Dynasty’s vanguard will arrive in one day. Three hundred-thousand-class warships: two routes are regular armies, one route is praetorian..."

During this final day, Ye Liuyun’s second clone also informed all commanders of what he had monitored.

Seeing that nothing had changed, all commanders returned to their own armies. Pei Yong came alone to the outpost planet to arrange formations for those seventy thousand soldiers preparing for a charge.

The flying vessels monitoring them from afar saw them only now beginning to arrange formations for their army; they couldn’t help but be greatly surprised and immediately transmitted this information to Grand Commander Yao Wanhao of the dynasty’s army.

Yao Wanhao’s reputation in Fire Seal Dynasty was even higher than Jiang Yuanhai’s. He had organized joint operations of multiple corps many times before—perfectly suited for commanding this battle.

Receiving this news, he also believed it was a deliberate ruse by Ye Liuyun’s side—feigning weakness before enemies. Otherwise under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to arrange formations at such a last minute.

This was clearly being put on for them to see. However what purpose lay behind this move remained unclear even now.

"Hmph! Such petty tricks are useless against me!" With his combat experience he would certainly not let something like this affect his emotions or strategies against enemies though having numerical superiority here absolutely wouldn’t underestimate enemy either

He simply ordered vanguard forces exercise extra caution let praetorian attempt attack first while other two routes stronger armies maintain defense without altering original combat strategy

One day sufficient enough Pei Yong arrange rough formation these seventy thousand men Just general formation needed nothing particularly detailed

These soldiers knew themselves being used cannon fodder filled grief indignation yet unable violate loyalty contracts signed Even more despairing fact army commander would absolutely never enter battle thus never expecting loyalty contract could lift So awaiting already destined death

When saw Fire Seal Dynasty vanguard discovered facing highest realm praetorian even less hope survival Yet just despair struck Ye Liuyun transformed appearance ordinary soldier bringing Wu Qingcheng here Wu Qingcheng facing these seventy thousand soldiers blew first war horn

"Awwooo!"

A wolf howl rang out And hearing wolf howl despair unwillingness gradually faded eyes slowly becoming resolute determination

Pei Yong issued orders letting meet enemy starry sky These soldiers needing commander lead directly rose starry sky according arranged formations confronting hundred thousand praetorian Those praetorian seeing low realm soldiers couldn’t help puzzled wondering what trick playing "Whatever games play absolute strength面前都是白费!"

The commander of the Imperial Guard across the field had the same thought, and issued the order for his army to advance. The Imperial Guard fell into formation and began their slow, steady push forward.

Then came two long, drawn-out wolf howls — "Awoooo, Awoooo" — and the seventy thousand soldiers standing before them suddenly shuddered as one. Their battle fury surged, and even their eyes began to slowly turn bloodshot.

Then, as one, they raised their weapons and charged straight at the enemy.

"Kill!"

The Imperial Guard commander gave the order, and his army surged forward.

He had noticed something was off with the enemy soldiers, but the arrow was already on the string — there was no retreating now. He had no choice but to meet them head-on.

The Imperial Guard had higher cultivation and better equipment. He couldn’t bring himself to believe he would lose against soldiers of inferior cultivation.

Yet the moment the two sides clashed, he was deeply shaken.

In his eyes, the enemy soldiers had simply gone mad — fighting with complete disregard for their own lives, slaughtering with reckless abandon. Some had even lost all reason, charging forward to bite and claw at their opponents.

Even though his soldiers had higher cultivation, the moment one enemy was cut down, another rushed up without a moment’s pause — no defense, no hesitation, trading life for life.

His Imperial Guard had never seen anything like this kind of frenzy. Almost immediately, soldiers began falling back. These praetorian had gone too long without experiencing real bloodshed. Their fighting spirit had dulled, and the sight of these manic soldiers broke them psychologically.

The two flanking armies were equally shaken by this kind of madness. Hardened veterans though they were, none of them had ever witnessed such a ferocious charge.

The commanders of both flanking forces privately thought to themselves: if all of the enemy soldiers were this unhinged, they might not be able to hold them back either.

The Imperial Guard commander was already requesting permission from Yao Wanhao to retreat.

"No retreat. Hold the line — or face military law." Yao Wanhao’s order was cold and composed.

The battle had just begun, and he hadn’t yet taken the measure of the enemy. If his army of one hundred thousand was driven back this early, it would deal a blow to the morale of the entire force.

Left with no choice, the Imperial Guard commander gritted his teeth and ordered his personal guard unit to serve as a rear-enforcement squad, with orders to cut down any soldier who dared fall back.

But the soldiers in front only retreated faster. Some had already turned and fled outright. The front and rear ranks crashed into each other, descending into chaos.

Ye Liuyun’s surrendered troops, meanwhile, weren’t thinking at all — they killed anyone in sight, quickly scattering the enemy’s vanguard before pressing further forward.

"The power of this war horn is truly something else!"

The commanders observing the battle on Ye Liuyun’s side were all left stunned by what the war horn had wrought.
