Chapter 2802: Chapter 2802
Now this alien army had truly taken shape. Broken Horn didn’t immediately ask Ye Liuyun to store the troops away. Instead, he led them through training exercises in the vast expanse of space.
Numbers alone weren’t enough—the alien forces needed real combat capability.
Ye Liuyun agreed readily. He stored away all other personnel, leaving every alien warrior under Broken Horn’s command—including the ninth-level overlord aliens, Dragon Fang, and Fire Lizard.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun had Tong Xin and Qiong Qi organize teams of blacksmiths to forge armor for these alien troops.
This had been Broken Horn’s suggestion. In battle, with both sides being alien forces, identical armor would cause chaos on the battlefield. Distinct markings were essential.
So while Broken Horn drilled the troops, Ye Liuyun’s team worked on their equipment.
Broken Horn’s training regimen was meticulous. He ran through every scenario—how he, Dragon Fang, and Fire Lizard would each command their respective forces. The elite 100,000 troops and his 20,000 blue-armored veterans were stored in his own spatial realm. The main 200,000-strong force resided in Fire Lizard’s spatial world, while the martial experts were kept in Dragon Fang’s.
Only the ninth-level overlord aliens remained by Broken Horn, Dragon Fang, and Fire Lizard’s sides as personal guards.
Broken Horn had learned from Fire Lizard’s mistake. With powerful bodyguards, he wouldn’t be captured as easily as Fire Lizard had been by Ye Liuyun.
He’d also requested concealment artifacts from Ye Liuyun to mask the ninth-level overlords’ auras.
While their overwhelming ninth-level presence couldn’t be completely hidden, the artifacts could make them appear around seventh-level—enough to disguise their true strength.
Ye Liuyun was generous with resources that would aid their cause.
By now, the Demon Sealing Stele had reached ninth-level overlord strength. Ye Liuyun handed the remaining alien resources to Broken Horn for centralized distribution.
After completing training and upgrading equipment, Broken Horn wanted Ye Liuyun to help find a suitable target for the army’s first real combat test.
Without hesitation, Ye Liuyun personally escorted them aboard the Spirit Cat battleship to distant alien star systems for live drills.
After Broken Horn reorganized this formidable army, they effortlessly conquered an alien star system. Not only did their numbers remain intact, but both elite warriors and ordinary soldiers actually increased in strength.
Realizing they didn’t need such a massive force for the time being, Broken Horn decided to adopt an elite-soldier strategy. He initiated a brutal survival-of-the-fittest system—those at the bottom in terms of strength would become food, forcing the alien warriors to desperately push their limits.
Under this relentless pressure, the alien army grew increasingly powerful, their coordination becoming seamless. Once Broken Horn had refined the troops, he confirmed to Ye Liuyun that the army was finally battle-ready.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun hadn’t been idle. He had spent these days scouting the surrounding regions and discovered that the path leading deeper into alien territory was almost entirely occupied by hostile forces—and it wasn’t the only route available.
Moreover, the alien factions in different regions varied in strength. It suddenly struck Ye Liuyun that keeping five million soldiers resting in pocket dimensions was an enormous waste. They needed to be deployed boldly—overprotecting them would only make them soft.
Without hesitation, Ye Liuyun released both the Vanguard Corps and the five-million-strong army. The high-ranking commanders, each possessing their own pocket dimensions, could store their troops within them.
The Vanguard Corps was evenly divided into five units, each assigned to a different commander, while Ye Tiandao remained by Ye Liuyun’s side.
Ye Liuyun personally led the alien army, seeking out suitable enemies to engage. Their forces, traveling aboard Spirit Fox warships, spread out across vast distances.
Once Ye Liuyun’s army dispersed, Fuyang was left with no effective countermeasures. Its own alien forces were too concentrated—if it scattered them as well, regrouping would become a logistical nightmare.
Besides, the aliens had too many territories to defend. With Ye Liuyun’s forces spreading like grains of sand in the ocean, they barely made a ripple, making them nearly impossible to pin down.
Fuyang could only issue orders for all alien star systems to fortify their defenses, consolidating their strongest warriors and most capable troops in a purely defensive stance.
Yet even this strategy couldn’t withstand the onslaught of Ye Liuyun’s forces. The Vanguard Corps, split into five units of ten thousand elite warriors each, bolstered by the existing elite combat squads within the armies, made them unstoppable—whether in individual strength or sheer numbers.
Especially Ye Liuyun’s own contingent, which consisted of the alien army and an additional one hundred thousand elite alien soldiers. Even if they encountered a million-strong enemy force, Ye Liuyun could instantly reinforce them with two hundred thousand demon troops.
The demon army boasted formidable strength, with warriors predominantly at the fourth or fifth level of Dominator realm—elite troops by any measure. Though their numbers were fewer, they were bolstered by numerous top-tier experts at the ninth level of Dominator realm, making them an unstoppable force.
Ye Liuyun’s faction had a systematic approach: any slain or captured enemies, aside from those absorbed on the spot by the Demon-Sealing Stele or the Demon Vine, were handed over to their allied demon forces for resource extraction. As a result, their reserves grew ever more abundant.
Ye Liuyun, his doppelgänger, his beast companions, and the women by his side all honed their skills relentlessly through countless battles. When facing opponents stronger than himself, Ye Liuyun practiced wielding the power of time. Against those of comparable strength, he threw himself into fierce combat. And when confronting weaker foes, he employed spatial manipulation and the radiant force of Buddhist light to swiftly eliminate them.
His doppelgänger, meanwhile, focused exclusively on refining spatial abilities and blade intent, while also mentoring Tian Dao and A Xing. To Ye Liuyun’s delight, Tian Dao’s mastery of blade intent had now reached a level nearly on par with his own. Though she wasn’t formally his disciple, her growth from discovery to present had been entirely shaped by his unwavering guidance—proof that his efforts had borne remarkable fruit.
For Ye Liuyun and his comrades, these battles were opportunities for tempering their skills. For his demon legion, they were chances to seize resources. Both sides fought with relentless zeal.
The tainted origin energy harvested from their enemies, unusable for humans, was instead allocated to the demon forces. This infusion of power even allowed two more demon warriors to ascend to the ninth level of Dominator realm.
Now, Ye Liuyun’s faction boasted eleven ninth-level Dominator demons, augmented by the Demon Vine and the Demon-Sealing Stele—bringing their elite count to thirteen. Together, they formed an invincible coalition, each member excelling in different specialties. As a united force, they became an all-around powerhouse, capable of annihilating entire demon armies with ease.
Just these thirteen alone could effortlessly sweep through enemy legions as if they were nothing.
