Chapter 2762: Chapter 2762
Meanwhile, Liu Haotian had already mobilized his troops, ready to intercept any reinforcements at a moment’s notice.
Seeing that all preparations were complete, Ye Liuyun immediately issued the order to advance. Pei Yong also commanded the assault, deploying the Falcon-class warships first.
Tong Xin and Qiong Qi had developed even more advanced battleships. After this battle, they planned to phase out the older Falcon-class vessels and replace them with superior models. For now, the Falcons were essentially expendable, and they intended to make full use of them.
On the ground, armored chariots, puppet beasts, and energy cannons coordinated with the aerial assault, launching their attacks in tandem with the Falcon warships.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun and his doppelgänger remained cloaked, advancing behind the Falcon fleet with their elite warriors and demonic beasts, poised to strike at any powerful alien adversaries that emerged.
Tens of thousands of Falcon warships also covered the sectors assigned to Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao, blasting through the alien defenses before regrouping to focus their firepower on the enemy’s central front.
Grateful for the support, Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao immediately led their troops into the alien ranks.
Ye Liuyun’s forces, however, met even less resistance. After just one aerial bombardment by the Falcons, the enemy’s ground defenses were obliterated, allowing the chariots and other ground units to charge straight into the alien encampments.
The attack was so sudden that the aliens never expected a mere 400,000 troops to take the offensive. Caught completely off guard, many of their units were still scrambling to assemble when the assault began. Countless alien soldiers were annihilated inside their tents before they could even emerge.
The alien elites reacted the fastest, rushing out to attack the Falcon warships. But one by one, they were snatched away by Ye Liuyun and his doppelgänger, who took turns manipulating time to isolate and capture them.
After the Falcons’ initial bombardment, the alien central front was further ravaged by chariots, puppet beasts, and energy cannons, leaving almost no survivors.
From the outset, Ye Liuyun’s forces advanced at a blistering pace, their superior equipment allowing them to push forward so swiftly that Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao struggled to keep up. They quickly sent a message to Ye Liuyun.
"Don’t worry—just do your best to follow!"
Unconcerned about their pace, Ye Liuyun maintained his relentless momentum. Soon, the three armies formed a triangular formation, pressing forward like an unstoppable spearhead.
The aliens, having lost several of their strongest warriors—those at the sixth and seventh levels of dominance—were stunned. They realized this human offensive was no ordinary assault.
The alien commander, who ruled the Eighth Heaven, acted with extreme caution. He immediately ordered his troops to regroup and retreat, avoiding a direct confrontation with Ye Liuyun.
But Ye Liuyun had no intention of letting them escape so easily.
"Falcon Squadron, pursue and pin down their forces! Blade Regiment, charge!" Ye Liuyun swiftly issued his commands.
Pei Yong took charge of the Falcon battleships, intercepting the retreating alien army. Meanwhile, Ye Tian Dao and Ling Yuan led the Blade Regiment, surging past the war chariots and puppet beasts, accelerating their assault on the enemy.
At the forefront of this strike force were elite martial cultivators, each strike capable of wiping out entire swathes of the alien ranks—far more devastating than the war machines. In no time, they formed a razor-sharp spearhead, driving straight toward the heart of the alien command.
Their speed was so staggering that even the Eighth Heaven commander was taken aback.
"Stop them at all costs!" he barked, hastily mobilizing his strongest warriors to block the Blade Regiment.
From a distance, he even lashed out with a palm strike aimed directly at the charging unit.
"Leave him to me!" Ye Liuyun called to Ye Tian Dao before channeling the power of his spatial realm, countering with a strike of his own.
His blow not only neutralized the alien commander’s attack but surged onward, slamming into the enemy leader and sending him flying.
The shockwaves from the clash—emanating from a powerhouse of the Eighth Heaven—obliterated the surrounding alien troops in an instant. The commander, caught completely off guard by such overwhelming strength, coughed up blood and collapsed, unable to rise.
Seizing the moment, Ye Liuyun teleported beside the fallen commander using spatial energy. Together with his doppelgänger, he unleashed his divine soul, forcibly extracting both of the alien’s souls. Each was branded with a slave seal before the commander was unceremoniously tossed into the spatial realm.
The deafening explosion from the clash reverberated across the battlefield, shaking the very ground. Though the impact occurred midair, sparing the planet from direct devastation, the residual force still cracked the earth beneath.
The sheer magnitude of the attack was visible to all. Even after witnessing the alien commander’s capture, Han Qiao and Meng Wenxiang remained frozen in shock, struggling to process what they had just seen.
"That kid was holding back—there’s a real powerhouse here! To send an Eighth-Level Dominator alien flying with a single palm strike... just what realm has he reached?" Han Qiao immediately activated a communication talisman to shout at Meng Wenxiang.
"Brilliant hit! Let’s follow him!" Meng Wenxiang only had time for a brief exclamation before reminding Han Qiao that they were already falling behind.
"I’ll... do my best!" Han Qiao wanted to say he definitely couldn’t keep up, but he changed his answer at the last moment.
Ye Liuyun’s palm strike had stunned the alien elites as well, making them think the human army had deployed a true powerhouse. Yet Ye Liuyun and his doppelganger remained in stealth, their figures completely unseen.
Without hesitation, they resumed using their temporal powers to capture the alien elites.
Meanwhile, the Vanguard Battalion charged forward relentlessly, cutting through the enemy ranks as if they were mere paper.
Seeing the aliens descending into chaos, Pei Yong ordered the army to spread out further, allowing more soldiers to engage in combat for experience. Equipment like the Falcon Hawks and war chariots were withdrawn and repositioned behind the alien forces to cut off their retreat.
"Kill them all!"
Ye Liuyun unleashed the Demon-Sealing Stele, the Demon Vine, his beasts, and even his female companions into battle, throwing the alien army into even greater disarray.
"We’ve got this! Wipe out these monsters!" Han Qiao, recognizing the inevitable victory, rallied his troops to fight with renewed ferocity. Meng Wenxiang did the same, urging his entire army to unleash their full might.
Both were seasoned commanders who didn’t need Ye Liuyun’s orders to know how to coordinate. They secured the flanks, positioning themselves to ensure no alien could escape—this was a battle of annihilation.
The battlefield became a one-sided slaughter. Despite their overwhelming numbers, the alien forces crumbled like paper under the relentless assault of the Wolf Hunters.
Pei Yong had already dispersed his forces completely, treating the aliens with outright disdain. The moment the alien army lost a mere two to three hundred thousand troops, the humans began systematically exterminating them.
By the halfway point, Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao’s troops were exhausted, their soldiers nearly drained of energy.
Ye Liuyun, ever watchful of the battlefield, immediately ordered them to withdraw. Their only task now was to hold the flanks and intercept fleeing aliens.
Neither commander protested. They pulled back at once, setting up defensive formations on either wing. With their forces blocking the escape routes, the fleeing aliens didn’t dare approach.
