A month later, the Black Armor Elite Corps was down to fifteen thousand men. Xiao Heng’s army had forty thousand left, Li Zhaoyuan’s army only thirty thousand, and the two demon legions each had thirty thousand remaining. Even the puppets had lost over three thousand.

Though every force had suffered nearly fifty percent casualties, the surviving soldiers were the strongest of the strong.

"The martial cultivators here aren’t much to speak of, but the ferocious beasts aren’t too bad—and there are plenty of them. Achieving this result is already quite good. This works out well; consider it a screening for elite troops!" Yu Xiaofeng was rather satisfied with this outcome.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun’s army began resting and reorganizing.

The Black Armor Elite Corps, Xiao Heng’s army, and Li Zhaoyuan’s forces were merged together, with Xiao Heng appointed as Grand Commander and Li Zhaoyuan as Deputy Commander. Cui Daoran could now focus on cultivation and preparing to break through his realm.

The two demon legions and puppet legion were formed into a single army, with Hei Shan as Grand Commander and Hei Yan as Deputy Commander. After reorganization, they began uniformly planning equipment and armor distribution. Cultivation resources were allocated so soldiers could seize time to cultivate.

Yu Xiaofeng sent people to negotiate with Yue Tianyang for their surrender.

Yue Tianyang refused to surrender, but her attitude was clearly no longer as arrogant as before. She neither killed nor expelled the negotiators—merely declined their offer.

Yu Xiaofeng also asked Ye Liuyun: "Should we bring over Jiang Yuanhai’s three hundred thousand troops to intimidate them?"

Their other army route consisted of three hundred thousand surrendered soldiers led by Jiang Yuanhai—also a trained and tempered force with relatively high cultivation levels, almost all at Return Origin Ninth Level.

Ye Liuyun slowly shook his head: "I don’t want them involved in this battle here. If word leaks out, this star system might be impossible to keep in the future."

"Forget it. If they won’t surrender, my clone and I will take Qingcheng planet by planet—anyway our speed isn’t slow."

"The army temporarily has enough cultivation resources for now; let them cultivate for a while first!"

"Alright then!" Yu Xiaofeng agreed as well. He had the army rest while having formation masters help set up defensive arrays.

Then Ye Liuyun went with his clone and puppet legion to continue collecting planets.

On some planets there weren’t many powerful martial cultivators left—they couldn’t even resist their puppet legion. Ye Liuyun would give them chances to escape before collecting those planets.

When encountering those who still wanted to resist stubbornly he would put away his puppet legion then have Wu Qingcheng blow her war horn letting ferocious beasts slaughter those martial cultivators

After killing all martial cultivators he no longer let beasts kill each other instead having Wu Qingcheng use war horn calming them down Then he collected entire planet along with beasts

Ye Liuyun plus clone worked another month collecting eighty plus planets far more efficient than armies

Together they now collected nearly two hundred planets almost twenty percent of this star system

Yue Tianyang grew increasingly anxious sending million martial cultivators plus beasts sneak attacking Yu Xiaofeng’s planet Result Yu Xiaofeng never actively attacked merely defending yet they couldn’t break through

Helpless Yue Tianyang finally ordered retreat But she didn’t want Ye Liuyun continuing collecting planets so she sent people again challenging him battle

"Our twenty seven thousand guardian warriors challenge you equal numbers fair open fight" Yue Tianyang’s representative demanded from Yu Xiaofeng

Yu Xiaofeng dared not decide alone asking Ye Liuyun

Ye Liuyun clearly told Yu Xiaofeng "Can agree but must negotiate conditions properly If they lose half their planets handed over us collecting Also allow us using true-grade armor equipment pills techniques exchange more resources If disagree continue collecting until taking half then launch total attack"

Yue Tianyang felt Ye Liouyun constantly acting really would strip all their planets so accepted these conditions

But she proposed if Ye Liuwin lost must return soldiers beasts planets compensate various resources

Ye Liuwin agreed

In the end, both sides agreed to deploy twenty-five thousand troops each, engaging in direct frontal combat one month later without seeking reinforcements or using heavy equipment like firepower chariots. During this period, neither side was allowed to make any further moves.

Ye Liuyun and his avatars returned to their base, taking all those preparing for battle into their spatial worlds to accelerate their cultivation.

Especially those ten thousand female soldiers—Ye Liuyun intended to showcase them this time, letting the locals witness their transformation.

Over the past few months, those female soldiers had already spent several years inside the avatar’s spatial world, with their overall strength having improved significantly. In one month, there would still be three hundred days remaining in the avatar’s spatial world, more than enough time for them to elevate their strength by another level.

As for the other fifteen thousand troops, Ye Liuyun decided to have the remaining soldiers of the Black Armor Elite Corps participate. During this time, he had them focus on enhancing their power of bloodline and helped each of them acquire a ferocious beast mount with a master-servant contract established.

These beasts all came from the Burning Blood Star System, with cultivation realms at either peak or late-stage ninth level. They could not only help resist bloodline pressure but also compensate for numerical inferiority in combat strength—the enemy soldiers all possessed mounts.

Ye Liuyun and his two avatars would also bring Lei Ming, Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, and Vermilion Bird into battle. Additionally, Leng Qianyu would participate with her Demonic Lion.

With them fighting, Yu Xiaofeng wasn’t worried about defeat. He merely reminded Ye Liuyun that Yue Tianyang might possess some guaranteed-victory treasure; otherwise she wouldn’t be so confident.

"Very likely! But don’t worry—I have confidence in defeating her. Her treasure definitely can’t compare to mine!" Ye Liuyun also considered this possibility highly probable. But with his God-Slaying Bow in hand, he wasn’t concerned at all.

Yu Xiaofeng trusted Ye Liuyun as well and led the Death Legion to guard their base against potential sneak attacks by the enemy.

Yue Tianyang’s side was also making intense preparations for war. This concerned their very survival; she dared not be careless either.

She also ordered various planets to gather cultivation resources so that her guardian warriors could improve further within this month. However, resources for improving other aspects of strength were far too scarce here—even with support from various planets across her territory—they couldn’t possibly advance much further.

Yue Tianyang finally took out a Void-Grade Marrow Washing Pill and consumed it herself preparing enhance own capabilities After completing breakthrough felt confident victory combining newfound power alongside treasures

The treasures relied upon included set Void-Grade First-Rank armor spear plus Void-Grade Third-Rank demon puppet Unfortunately magic crystals hand were limited reluctant use unless absolutely critical moment Finally possessed Void-Grade First-Rank Soul-Suppressing Tower capable mass suppression enemy army divine souls
