Chapter 2611: Chapter 2611
Among these ten Three-Eyed Golden-Armored aliens, Ye Liuyun had already killed one and captured another.
Each of them had absorbed countless other Three-Eyed aliens, making them terrifyingly powerful. Even the one Ye Liuyun had captured possessed a white-light ability nearly on par with his own.
The strongest among them, Reydon, was rumored to have numerous Three-Eyed aliens within his spatial domain—many of whom were said to be of considerable strength. These ten Three-Eyed Golden-Armored warriors were the primary force tasked with eliminating Ye Liuyun. Alongside them were ten newly promoted Golden-Armored Elders.
Though freshly elevated, their power had been forged by devouring countless elite alien warriors. The two Golden-Armored Elders Ye Liuyun had captured were both roughly as strong as Hongguang.
Beyond these individuals, the leader of the Golden-Armored aliens, Xingyan, stood as the most formidable among them. The power contained within his spatial domain was nothing short of monstrous. However, none of the prisoners Ye Liuyun had taken knew exactly how strong Xingyan was, making it difficult for him to gauge the threat.
Apart from these elite alien warriors, there were over five hundred Dominator-level aliens. As for Celestial-level fighters, their numbers were even greater—tens of thousands at each of the three tiers.
Add to that the fifty million-strong alien army and another fifty million lower-tier warriors, and their total forces easily surpassed a hundred million.
The pressure on Ye Liuyun and his allies was undeniably immense.
Yet now that he had gathered this intelligence, he could at least make strategic preparations. Especially when it came to the elite alien warriors—if they could be eliminated, the remaining hordes, no matter how vast, would be far easier to handle.
After processing the information, Ye Liuyun shared the aliens’ strength and deployment with his allies, discussing countermeasures together.
However, he kept silent about the mysteries of the cosmos and the origins of the alien race, fearing it might shake their confidence in the coming battle.
As for the method of dealing with the aliens, Ye Liuyun took it upon himself to eliminate their strongest warriors. Still, he would have to do so gradually—there were simply too many to wipe out all at once.
Thus, in the early stages, their forces would largely adopt a defensive stance, relying on Qiong Qi and the others to continuously reinforce the defensive formations and hold the line.
After the meeting concluded, Ye Liuyun took Yu Xiaofeng and Qin Peng into his spatial world separately, where he revealed everything about the alien races—including Tong Xin, Qiong Qi, and those demonic beasts—to everyone present.
Once Ye Liuyun finished speaking, the entire group was left in stunned silence, struggling to process the overwhelming information.
No one had ever imagined that the universe was so vast, and the path ahead so incredibly long. This revelation would undoubtedly reshape their understanding of martial cultivation.
Those who had once believed they were nearing the pinnacle of strength now felt as though they had been cast down to the very bottom. It was a humbling blow to everyone.
"There’s no strongest, only stronger," Qiong Qi muttered with a self-deprecating chuckle, breaking the heavy silence.
Ye Liuyun nodded and added, "I just wanted you all to understand that the challenges we face now are merely small hurdles in the grand scheme. For now, let’s focus on overcoming the immediate obstacles. We’ll deal with the future when it comes."
"Keep this information among ourselves," he continued. "Spreading it further might shake morale and weaken our forces in the fight against the aliens."
Yu Xiaofeng and Qin Peng soon took their leave, but not before reminding Ye Liuyun to stay cautious. After all, he was dealing with formidable opponents, and the hidden strengths within Reyden’s spatial world—as well as Xing Yan’s true power—remained unknown. The risks were real.
Once everyone had departed, Ye Liuyun gathered the women in his life for a relaxed evening of roasted meat and casual conversation.
He couldn’t help but feel guilty for neglecting them, thinking he’d make it up to them once the alien threat was vanquished. But now, knowing the road ahead was far longer than he’d imagined, he resolved to cherish whatever time he could spare for them.
Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng, and the others had already sensed his thoughts. Gently, they reassured him that there was no need to rush—they would always stand by his side, no matter what.
Ye Liuyun promised to spend more time with them whenever possible, rather than waiting for some distant, perfect moment after the battles were over.
After sharing food, laughter, and heartfelt words, his spirits lifted considerably. There was no use worrying about the unknown—he would simply take things one step at a time and see where the path led.
But for now, his priority was leading everyone to victory against the alien invaders. So once the meal ended, he immediately retreated into his clone’s spatial world to train.
Ye Liuyun wasted no time refining the third eyes harvested from the alien corpses—even executing the captured golden-armored three-eyed alien to claim its ocular power. Every moment counted.
Meanwhile, the sharp awl he had previously refined, along with the one extracted from the Three-Eyed Alien’s sea of consciousness, were both given to his doppelganger. Even the golden bell from the golden-armored alien elder’s mind was seized and handed over to the doppelganger to reinforce its mental defenses.
However, due to limited resources, the doppelganger had no Three-Eyed Aliens left to refine for the time being. All available resources were concentrated on Ye Liuyun’s main body.
While Ye Liuyun immersed himself in cultivation, the women around him didn’t idle either. They knew the road ahead with him would be long and arduous. Strengthening themselves meant they could lighten his burden, even if just a little, rather than leaving everything to him alone.
A few days later, the entire alien army—five million strong—had fully assembled and begun moving into position around Ye Liuyun’s encampment, clearly intending to annihilate them all.
The allied forces grew uneasy at the sight of the overwhelming alien numbers encircling them. But their commanders rallied their spirits, reminding them of the Death Legion’s legendary ability to fight one against ten. Fear wouldn’t paralyze them.
The aliens’ slow mobilization, however, gave Ye Liuyun the perfect opportunity to refine the remaining Three-Eyed Aliens. After absorbing the golden-armored alien’s third eye, his golden pupils surged with newfound power.
"Just how many Three-Eyed Aliens did these golden-armored fiends refine to reach such strength?"
With his enhanced golden pupils, Ye Liuyun felt more confident in facing Reyden. But the sheer number of enemies meant he’d have to strike in waves. Eliminating either Reyden or Xingyan first would tip the scales in his favor.
Once his cultivation session ended, he cloaked himself and slipped out of the encampment, intent on targeting the alien elites again. His previous coordination with the doppelganger had worked well—he’d employ the same tactic.
This time, however, only a single golden-armored alien commander stood outside. The rest had retreated into a newly erected hall, shielded by defensive formations.
After encircling Ye Liuyun’s forces, the aliens had constructed this grand hall, believing its barriers would obscure their true strength.
But Ye Liuyun’s golden pupils pierced straight through the walls, revealing every figure inside with crystal clarity.
