Lord of All Gods

After Chi Lian’s cultivation advanced to the Eighth Layer of Unity Realm, she absorbed power of bloodline even faster. Even though the people here possessed powerful bloodline energy, it only took her two breaths to drain an opponent’s power of bloodline down to that of an ordinary person, and within a few breaths she could suck them completely dry.

The power of bloodline she channeled to the First Clone was also far purer than before, so he had to simultaneously fight and continuously refine the power of bloodline using the Blood-Cleansing Pearl.

Because of this, the First Clone was also cutting a bloody swath through the battlefield with great enthusiasm, as both his soul power and power of bloodline kept steadily rising.

His Spatial Force and Heaven-Earth force alone could block seven or eight out of every ten attacks, while his Demon-Hunting Armor easily deflected the rest. Combined with his Spatial Force, his blade intent was more than enough to cleave through his enemies.

He also made a point of targeting the Golden-Eyed Hunting Leopards that the tribal warriors had brought with them. After killing them, he temporarily stored their carcasses in his spatial world, saving them for everyone to refine and strengthen their ocular abilities.

Demon Vine began stretching out countless tendrils to devour everything in sight. It was unaffected by power of bloodline, yet it could absorb and purify its own constitution using these bloodline energies—so it was utterly delighted, greedily absorbing as much as it could.

The martial cultivators and feral beast here had virtually no countermeasures against Demon Vine. None of their weapons could even scratch it.

By this point, the tribal martial cultivators and feral beast on the opposite side had finally regrouped and turned to face the main army. Even under the bombardment of the firepower war chariots, they showed no fear—especially the feral beast, which charged forward once again.

This time there was no unified command, yet every martial cultivator and fierce beast capable of using Spatial Force autonomously surged toward Xiao Heng’s army.

The Second Clone and Leng Qianyu held their positions in the void above the army, intercepting those martial cultivators and feral beast. The Second Clone slashed through the void with his blade intent, while Leng Qianyu cut directly through the feral beast with raw Spatial Force. The other soldiers did likewise—doing their best not to damage the beasts’ bodies, immediately storing each carcass in their storage rings the moment a kill was made.

When the enemy martial cultivators in the starry void found they could not break through, they immediately rallied all their warriors and beasts into a direct charge against Xiao Heng’s army, hoping to exploit their numerical advantage and use sheer numbers as a shield to absorb the war chariots’ firepower.

"Keep the firepower war chariots bombarding—maintain absolute numerical superiority. Only send soldiers in to engage the feral beast when roughly fifty thousand remain!" Yu Xiaofeng immediately issued the order to Xiao Heng, afraid he would be reluctant to bombard and destroy too many beasts.

It was a good thing Yu Xiaofeng reminded him in time, otherwise he truly would have wanted to preserve more intact beast carcasses for food. Fierce beast flesh contained power of bloodline, making it a cultivation resource as well.

His army was at a high cultivation level and required substantial resources—he had no desire to waste any. But now he had no choice but to follow the order and let the war chariots continue their bombardment.

Ye Liuyun saw that the tribal martial cultivators and feral beast on the opposite side were mostly suppressed, and immediately led the demon beasts to regroup with the First Clone to kill feral beast and harvest resources.

Chi Lian had already absorbed so much power of bloodline that the First Clone could absorb no more. With Ye Liuyun’s arrival, he took over Chi Lian and the Blood-Cleansing Pearl and continued to boost his power of bloodline.

With Chi Lian helping them absorb and channel power of bloodline, the process was far faster than cultivating on their own—a rare and invaluable opportunity. And it also prevented Chi Lian’s own realm from advancing too quickly, which could destabilize her foundation.

After Ye Liuyun had fought for a while, he swapped positions with the Second Clone, letting him also go and absorb some power of bloodline with Chi Lian’s help.

Only after all three of them had absorbed their fill did Chi Lian turn her attention to helping the other demon beasts raise their power of bloodline, allowing everyone to advance together.

The power of bloodline here was so abundant that even after helping the others absorb a great deal, Chi Lian’s own realm advanced to the mid-stage of the Eighth Layer of Unity Realm. In the end, she didn’t dare absorb any more herself, fearing her realm would become unstable, so she channeled all incoming power of bloodline to the others instead.

Seeing that the remaining martial cultivators and feral beast nearby were not at particularly high cultivation levels, Ye Liuyun called the women over as well. With the two clones standing guard, he had Chi Lian help them raise their power of bloodline too.

By this time, the firepower war chariots had nearly wiped out all the tribal martial cultivators, leaving roughly fifty thousand feral beast. Only then did Xiao Heng direct his army forward to engage them, and both sides finally descended into a full melee.

Ye Liuyun again led his demon beasts to slaughter feral beast and stockpile food. He also released the Snow Wolf, Demon Flood Dragon, and Vespera feral beast, letting them go and stockpile food for themselves.

The moment these feral beast emerged, they found their power of bloodline immediately suppressed, leaving them just barely able to fight on par with Eighth-Layer Unity Realm beasts. Fortunately, they had demon beasts and puppets fighting alongside them, which kept them out of serious danger.

The women were closely protected by Ye Liuyun and both clones throughout. With their power of bloodline suppressed, they could only manage to fight against early-stage Unity Realm beasts.

Were it not for their high-grade armor and weapons, along with their numerous defensive treasures, even Ye Liuyun and both clones using soul attacks together would not have been able to protect so many people.

The soldiers faced the same difficulties. Against Ninth-Layer feral beast, they were no match at all—they could only rely on their formation arrays for defense, then work together in groups to exploit the superiority of their weapons and armor to bring the beasts down.

Once a defensive formation array was broken through by several feral beast at once, a soldier had nothing left but his armor, relying on his comrades’ cover to dodge attacks. Thus the casualties at the start were considerable—roughly one soldier dying for every three or four feral beast killed.

As the higher-ranked feral beast gradually dwindled in number, they slowly began to gain the upper hand.

Xiao Heng had been somewhat worried when he saw the soldiers falling in significant numbers early on, but watching the tide turn at last, he finally allowed himself to breathe easy.

But suddenly, Ye Liuyun’s golden pupils detected that two nearby planets had each dispatched a team of martial cultivators as reinforcements.

Each team consisted of nearly ten thousand tribal martial cultivators, not only riding ferocious beasts but also bringing along over thirty thousand more beasts. Combined, that amounted to fifty thousand combatants—a considerable number indeed.

He had just relayed this information to Yu Xiaofeng when his golden pupils discovered another team of local martial cultivators and beasts charging from behind the planet.

"It’s not two teams, it’s three! There’s another team right at the front of the main army," Ye Liuyun immediately corrected.

"Black Armor Legion—divide thirty thousand men into three routes to protect the main army. Deploy fire chariots, activate formation plates and crossbows. Prepare to engage the enemy!" Yu Xiaofeng issued the order without hesitation.

He was still inwardly relieved that the reinforcements weren’t too numerous—they could still handle this.

Ye Liuyun also immediately split up with his two avatars, taking spatial-attribute martial cultivators to form three teams. Each would defend one direction, protecting the main army in the center. Leng Qianyu guarded above the army to prevent anyone from breaking through to attack them.

He also felt at ease leaving the demon beasts and women to fight within the main army ranks. The remaining ferocious beasts were no longer high in cultivation level; the soldiers had already stowed their formation plates and were taking initiative in attacking, which would help them hold off some of the stronger beasts.
