Chapter 2619: Chapter 2619
"That white light is even more powerful than I am!"
Ye Liuyun, who was charging downward, had this thought flash through his mind as he shot a beam of white light straight toward Redton’s head.
But whether Redton dodged it intentionally or simply moved to attack at the same moment, it narrowly avoided the beam, skimming just past its edge.
Simultaneously, the doppelgänger swung the Heaven-Devouring Blade horizontally, aiming a sweeping slash at Redton’s waist.
Redton immediately tried to evade using spatial power, but Ye Liuyun locked down the surrounding space, trapping it in place.
"Another helper?!" Redton was momentarily stunned, not expecting the ally beside Ye Liuyun to be this formidable.
It only knew of Ye Liuyun’s formidable blade intent but hadn’t noticed the difference in the doppelgänger’s weapon. So it instantly assumed the doppelgänger was Ye Liuyun—after all, the blade intent from that strike was undeniably powerful.
As for the real Ye Liuyun, who had just shot the white light at it, Redton guessed he might be the captured Three-Eyed Golden-Armored Alien.
Without hesitation, Redton summoned a golden protective barrier around itself and intensified its assault on Ye Liuyun. This time, it unleashed a black light while simultaneously drawing power from its spatial realm, attempting to break free from the locked space.
Yet, to its shock, the black light it fired abruptly vanished. Even with the borrowed spatial power, it still couldn’t shatter the spatial confinement.
Panic set in—escaping now seemed impossible. It never expected the "Three-Eyed Alien" in the air to possess spatial power surpassing its own.
Desperate, Redton released two spike-shaped soul-attacking artifacts from its consciousness, hurling them toward the minds of Ye Liuyun and the doppelgänger in a last-ditch attempt to strike their souls.
But neither Ye Liuyun nor the doppelgänger halted their attacks. The reason Redton’s black light had disappeared earlier was because the doppelgänger had shielded itself with the black silk cloth of its umbrella, blocking the attack in advance.
As for the two soul-piercing spikes—one was enveloped by a golden glow from Ye Liuyun’s Divine Command Token, while the other was deflected by a golden bell within the doppelgänger’s consciousness, looted from an alien foe.
Having experienced the lethal black and white lights up close, the doppelgänger was shaken. It realized that the power and speed of Redton’s dual-light attacks were even stronger than its own.
With the addition of soul-attacking treasures, he simply had no time to evade. The close-range assault from the three-eyed alien was far too perilous.
Without waiting for Leyton to strike again, the doppelganger immediately activated temporal power, freezing time. A blinding white light then surged toward Leyton’s head.
In an instant, Leyton’s skull melted away. Perhaps it died unwillingly, bewildered by its sudden demise.
But opposing Ye Liuyun had sealed its fate from the start. Ye Liuyun’s golden pupils, the Divine Decree, temporal power, and spatial world abilities were nothing short of cheating against it.
The doppelganger then turned and appeared before the alien wielding the golden shield, obliterating it with another flash of white light before resuming the flow of time.
When Ye Liuyun arrived, he summoned both golden shields—one for his doppelganger, the other directly handed to Ye Tiandao.
The doppelganger collected Leyton’s third eye and spatial ring. A quick scan with divine sense left it stunned.
"Damn! This guy’s stash is even richer than Xingyan’s!" the doppelganger muttered, storing the corpses in the ring for the Demon-Sealing Stele and the Demon Vine.
"Of course. It was next in line to take over as the Golden-Armored Alien’s chieftain," Ye Liuyun remarked, taking Leyton’s third eye from the doppelganger before retreating into his spatial world to refine it.
The doppelganger no longer shadowed Ye Tiandao, instead returning to the void to monitor the alien forces.
With Leyton dead, there was nothing left to fear. Even if hidden alien elites remained, the others could handle them. And if they struggled, Ye Liuyun could always summon the Demon-Sealing Stele and the Demon Vine for backup.
To Ye Liuyun, these aliens, who had rampaged across the cosmos, slaughtering countless lives, were finally reaping what they sowed—experiencing the taste of annihilation at human hands.
Still, he wondered whether any Golden-Armored Aliens remained in their home system, the Muskrat Galaxy.
To hasten the battle’s end, Ye Liuyun unleashed the demonic legion and the armored soldiers. Their appearance shattered the alien forces completely—every army crumbled upon contact.
The Alliance forces were hunting down the alien races across the world. With the enemy’s resistance crumbling, even the Death Legion had dispersed into smaller units to maximize their sweep coverage.
Yu Xiaofeng was still leading his troops in a systematic purge of the remaining aliens when Ye Liuyun directly instructed him to abandon the pursuit of scattered remnants. "This entire planet is doomed—none will survive. Focus on eliminating as many aliens as possible and seizing their resources," Ye Liuyun commanded.
Human martial cultivators fought with unprecedented fervor. Never before had they experienced such unrestrained slaughter against the alien invaders. This was the final battle—the last stand that would end the alien threat once and for all. Their morale soared at the prospect.
For the aliens, however, it was sheer despair. With no hope of escape, death awaited them wherever they fled. Their leader, Reydon, had perished abruptly without issuing retreat orders, leaving them directionless. Most lacked the capability for interstellar travel anyway.
Watching the carnage unfold across the planet, Ye Liuyun’s avatar sighed deeply. "How many more scenes like this must we witness? May the Alliance never suffer such fate."
He observed the human cultivators plundering resources—justified as they were, targeting invaders. But what came next? With countless warriors needing advancement, they would inevitably venture beyond their world, eyeing resources on other planets. The line between defense and aggression blurred.
"Perhaps the aliens weren’t entirely wrong," the avatar mused. "This might simply be the universal law of survival."
Especially for cultivators of his caliber, planetary essence became vital fuel for growth. After all, lifeless worlds were rare. During this campaign, they’d seized numerous planetary cores from the aliens without moral qualms—a privilege of their "righteous" cause. Without this war, such rapid advancement might have raised ethical doubts.
Thus, he’d resolved long ago: once victory came, he would disclose the full truth about the aliens to the Alliance and all kingdoms. Let every cultivator understand the vast path ahead.
If only the strong survived, better they knew early. Initial panic upon the revelation would be inevitable, but some would rise stronger for it.
