Chapter 1865: Chapter 1865 Embark on Expedition
Once the twenty thousand martial practitioners under He Lianxiu had completed formation training, they could demonstrate greater strength, surpassing some veteran soldiers.
Ye Liuyun also promoted Pei Yong to vice commander, leading the eliminated cannon fodder unit.
After every battle, these troops would be exhausted, but there would inevitably be prisoners and defectors. Hence, they needed the maintenance of this cannon fodder camp.
Pei Yong didn’t give up on these martial practitioners. Instead, he began to train the cannon fodder troops using the same method he used to select martial practitioners. Eventually, he picked out some decent soldiers to be his main force.
Bai Tianguang ordered batches of Falcons and Dragon Elephants from Mystique Mart to equip the army.
Yu Xiaofeng and Xiao Yunfang likewise ordered a batch of warships and siege equipment.
Tong Xin refined three enormous rhinoceros for distribution to the vice commanders and commanders for use in city sieges.
The supplies and masters of weapon-refining and Elixirs that Xuan Yualing helped Ye Liuyun recruit had gradually arrived.
Ye Liuyun’s current requests for refinement were for elixirs and armour of the fourth level.
The previous third-level armours and elixirs were eliminated and given to Pei Yong.
Then He Lianxiu joined Ye Liuyun in Yin-Fire practice, which she incorporated into her divine soul to shield it from harm.
She managed to widen her spatial world another foot while her sword intention and Buddhist-Devil experienced a significant increase. Even her realm had advanced to the intermediary third level.
Ye Liuyun reminded her to pay attention to the quality of her genuine energy and that she should wait until the condensation was stable to a certain degree before elevating its level.
Ye Liuyun himself didn’t need to personally refine elixirs during this time, so he started to further apprehend various types of State Crystals, absorbed different energies, and elevated his powers in all aspects.
His Divine Soul force had grown at an unprecedented rate, allowing him to defeat primary fifth-level martial practitioners with ease. With the assistance of his clone, he wasn’t worried about martial practitioners of the advanced fifth level.
Looking at his army, Ye Liuyun felt a great sense of accomplishment once all the new weapons, elixirs, equipment, and feral beasts were prepared.
Fear would befall anyone who dared to look upon his over one hundred thousand dark-armoured warriors, fully equipped in fourth-tier gadgets, radiating a lethal aura.
Not only that, but his army’s power had grown substantially. His second-level veterans had almost all ascended to the third level.
Yu Xiaofeng, Xiao Yunfang, and others were all awestruck by the current Dark Legion’s status.
"It’s the strongest army in the west!"
Ye Liuyun, seeing that everything was prepared, was ready to mobilize his troops.
He had found the location of the Ethos Tribe on the God Realm map. They settled in the easternmost part of the eastern region. Even if it was for the sake of Liang Xue, he would eventually lead his troops to the east.
Moreover, the Dragon Clan of the God Realm lives in the Eastern Sea. Ye Liuyun planned to inspect the situation there with the Dragon Lady.
"Gather the troops!" Ye Liuyun yelled out his command.
The Dark Legion forces, numbering over one hundred thousand, headed towards the battlefield at the border in a massive force, embarking on their expedition.
Afterwards, Ye Liuyun set off on his own, diverting path from his troops and rushing towards Devil Beast Mountain to capture more Devil Beasts to elevate his troops.
In Ye Liuyun’s absence, Yu Xiaofeng temporarily took over his duties, leading the entire army. Xiao Yunfang and He Lianxiu both had to observe Yu Xiaofeng’s orders.
Ye Liuyun didn’t worry that they would run into any serious problems. His one hundred thousand strong armies could easily defeat any adversary on the frontier, even the border defenders of the Southern Region.
The situation on this border battlefield was different from that of the Northern Border, with more Devil Clan, Devil Cultivators, and Devil Beast.
Although the place Ye Liuyun was heading to was called Devil Beast Mountain, it was in fact a special spatial secret realm.
The area was large and teeming with rare magical creatures. Beasts of all levels were present, making the place extremely hazardous.
Devil Clans and devil cultivators were so widespread that the territory beyond the spatial secret realm was overflowing with them. Causing the entire, huge space chaotic and unsafe.
Ye Liuyun would have exerted much force just to get through the surrounding sections of the Beast Mountain before he was able to enter within.
On his way there, Ye Liuyun released Lei Ming and the rest while also allowing Lan Xin and Moonflower Sisters to take a stroll outside.
This was no longer considered the Western region, so technically, he did not defy his agreement with Xuan Yuanhong for Lan Xin to take a breather.
After witnessing the brutal conditions of the border battlefield and the gruesome bloodshed, the women would rather return to the spatial realm. A space where they feel clean, quiet, and safe.
Leaving the women behind, Ye Liuyun, with Lei Ming and the others, exhibited their intermediate third-level strength without using their gilded armour, and headed towards the Beast Mountain. They made use of the opportunity to train their physical and genuine energy.
Along the trip, Ye Liuyun focused on cultivating the Qiankun Palm, while his clone focused on cultivating their sword intention.
While some women sought to strengthen their Divine Soul or centred their attention on their Spatial Force.
among the materials they seized, they found Spirit Crystals that they used to cultivate, as well as Devil Crystals.
Along the journey, Ye Liuyun set up a Thunder Totem Array, charging his Thunder Pearl and Thunderclap Pebble with lightning for him and Lei Ming to cultivate their Devil Lightning.
The commotion caused by the Thunder Totem array attracted the attention of several martial practitioners nearby to investigate. They soon ended up becoming Ye Liuyun and his team’s practice target.
With their current realm and strength, as long as they didn’t encounter too many opponents, they could practically charge toward the border battlefield unimpeded
However, before they arrived at the outskirts of the Devil Beast Mountain, Ye Liuyun was taken aback.
It wasn’t spread of small groups of cultivators as he had thought, but rather a massive singular assembly of Devil Clan and Devil Cultivator.
They were vastly outnumbered, with over twenty people in even the smallest grouping of them. Furthermore, the majority of them were martial cultivators in the intermediate range of the third level.
"Why does the Devil Beast Mountain draw in so many members of the demon Clan and demon cultivators?" Ye Liuyun was perplexed as well.
With his Golden Phantom Eyes, he could see from afar that the highest peak appeared to be illusory.
"The illusionary peak ahead is the Devil Beast Mountain. Once we reach there, we can enter the secret realm within the Demon Beast Mountain."
Ye Liuyun informed everyone about the situation of the Devil Clan and Devil cultivator, proposing they put on their gilded armour.
Lei Ming and the others were able to roughly identify the location of the mountain peak even though their vision was impaired by the distance.
Seeing that Ye Liuyun hadn’t put on his armour, they also decided not to, choosing to train their physical strength in the same way.
Ye Liuyun didn’t force them, merely reminding them to retreat and recover within the Xuankong Stone if they couldn’t endure it. Then, he led them towards the Devil Beast Mountain.
"Halt! This area is owned by Devil Clans and Devil Cultivators! Evil Creature are forbidden to enter!"
Before they could enter the outer perimeter, a crew of Demon Clan charged out to stop their path.
The team of Devil Clans consisted of more than twenty individuals, led by a Devil in the intermediary fourth level. Interestingly, these demons were mingled together from different races. The different races of devils in this place appeared to be rather unified.
