Chapter 2806: Chapter 2806
Ye Liuyun and his avatar shared a profound mental connection, their blade intent resonating as one. Unexpectedly, even the sword wills of their weapons began influencing each other.
Earlier, the Demon-Slaying Saber had achieved a state of perfect blade intent, ascending as the sovereign of all blades and summoning countless weapons to its side. Now, the Heaven-Devouring Blade, influenced by the Demon-Slaying Saber’s will, also reached that pinnacle of perfection, once again drawing every nearby weapon into its orbit—though it couldn’t command the Demon-Slaying Saber itself.
This time, tens of thousands of blades stood upright in solemn attendance around the Heaven-Devouring Blade. With a single resonant hum, the weapons surged forward as one, descending upon another cluster of alien soldiers.
The result was the same—another obliteration, leaving only a crimson mist in their wake. The blades then returned to their wielders, while those without spiritual imprints remained suspended in the void.
Just as everyone assumed the spectacle had ended, Ye Tiandao’s long-handled battle blade once again trembled and soared into the sky, circling once before hovering.
Every other blade echoed its hum, swirling through the air in unison before gathering around it like an obedient retinue.
The alien soldiers were on the verge of despair.
"Here we go again. Wonder who’s getting it this time?"
They had no idea. Under the crushing pressure of such overwhelming blade intent, none dared move—as if even a flinch would draw the attention of those deadly weapons.
"Is this blade intent contagious?" A’Xing inwardly cursed her hesitation. Had she joined the charge earlier, she might have absorbed some of that elevated will.
She was certain the synchronized release of blade intent among the group had triggered a resonance, their weapons amplifying one another’s power.
"Ha!" Lei Ming couldn’t help but laugh, even she pitied the wretched aliens. "Smash those poor bastards to bits!"
A single coordinated strike from tens of thousands of blades could easily claim the lives of over ten thousand alien soldiers.
Such a spectacle was rare, occurring perhaps once in a century—yet here, the perfect convergence of blade intent had manifested three times in succession. Truly, these aliens were the unluckiest of souls.
"Bzzz... Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Ye Tiandao’s warblade descended once more, leading the swarm of blades in another devastating strike. Another gaping void appeared amidst the alien ranks, filled with drifting crimson mist.
As the blades returned to their wielders’ hands, the alien soldiers stood frozen in shock, utterly dumbfounded and motionless.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun swung his Demon-Slaying Blade in a sweeping arc. Having achieved perfect mastery of the blade’s intent, his own sword consciousness ascended to new heights. The seed of blade intent within his mind’s eye finally reached its full maturity.
This single stroke unleashed an overwhelming, boundless sword energy that surged forward, cleaving through the alien forces like a scythe through wheat. The terrifying blade intent continued extending relentlessly, leaving behind a trail of bisected corpses as alien soldiers watched in horror while their comrades fell in two.
Without pause, Ye Liuyun’s doppelganger brandished Heaven Devourer, executing an identical sweeping slash. Another brilliant flash of blade light illuminated the battlefield, followed by the sickening thuds of countless soldiers collapsing in halves.
All eyes now turned to Ye Tiandao.
Inspired by the perfected blade intents of Ye Liuyun, his doppelganger, and their weapons, Ye Tiandao’s own sword consciousness reached completion. With a mighty swing, she unleashed her own devastating arc.
"So they really are synchronized!" the onlookers murmured in awed confirmation.
The alien forces were completely demoralized.
A vast empty space had formed around the trio—no alien dared approach them now. Some blade-wielding soldiers even stood weaponless, having dropped their arms in terror.
"Surrender! If this continues, they’ll slaughter us all!"
One alien soldier roared the plea, throwing down his weapon and kneeling in submission. The act sparked a chain reaction—first his immediate comrades, then wave upon wave of alien soldiers followed suit, discarding their arms rather than face these terrifying humans.
Broken Horn, who had been reveling in the carnage at the rear, suddenly noticed the alien ranks surrendering en masse. Like a spreading wave, the kneeling submission rippled from the vanguard straight toward his position.
He immediately raised his hand, signaling the army to halt their attack.
Soon, the wave of surrenders from the vanguard spread to the rear. Among the three hundred thousand alien defenders stationed here, aside from those slain by Ye Liuyun, the rest all became Broken Horn’s prisoners.
This left the Demon-Sealing Stele and the Demon Vine extremely displeased with Ye Liuyun. The two of them quickly huddled together and set off to other planets to hunt down the aliens themselves. They feared that if they waited for Ye Liuyun to arrive, the aliens would simply surrender again.
Ye Liuyun paid them no mind, letting them do as they pleased. By now, all the altars here had been destroyed, and he had already received messages from various alien elites, who were now rushing to this location.
"No need to come here. Just eliminate the local defenders where you are!" Ye Liuyun sent the message directly.
Simultaneously, his demon army began to mobilize, sweeping through alien territories under the command of his doppelgänger. The task of accepting surrenders was left entirely to Broken Horn, with Ye Liuyun overseeing the alien soldiers as they signed loyalty contracts. Everyone by Ye Liuyun’s side was once again stored away in his spatial world, leaving only Tian Dao Ye and A Xing behind.
Once all the soldiers had signed their contracts, Ye Liuyun wasted no time. Boarding the Spirit Cat battleship with Tian Dao Ye and A Xing, he set off for other alien planets to continue honing his blade intent, allowing A Xing to observe and absorb the experience.
Now, when Ye Liuyun unleashed a full-powered slash, he could split an entire planet in half right in the void of space. Tian Dao Ye had reached the same level, and the two took turns cleaving through several alien planets before finally stopping.
A Xing followed closely behind them, feeling the overwhelming dominance of their blade intent up close, which significantly elevated her own understanding of the art.
The entire alien star system was eventually wiped out by Ye Liuyun and his forces. With the presence of these peak Dominator-level powerers, along with Broken Horn’s and the demon army’s might, the defending aliens stood no chance against their onslaught.
Ye Liuyun, his doppelgänger, and Tian Dao Ye reaped enormous gains this time. With his perfected blade intent, Ye Liuyun now possessed the ability to intercept even Dominator-level aliens.
Broken Horn, following the demons’ example, later led troops to various planets to gather alien prisoners, eventually amassing three hundred thousand surrendered soldiers. The remaining aliens were exterminated by the Demon-Sealing Stele, the Demon Vine, and the other alien forces. Those alien corpses served as cultivation resources, leaving Broken Horn with nothing to complain about.
However, three hundred thousand surrendered aliens were far too many. Broken Horn, Dragon Fang, and Fire Lizard’s spatial worlds couldn’t accommodate such a massive number, leaving Broken Horn at a loss for how to handle them.
Ye Liuyun then handed over the local source energy and the remaining two alien planets to Broken Horn, instructing him to expand his spatial world first before storing the soldiers inside.
After enlarging his spatial world, Broken Horn finally managed to contain the three hundred thousand surrendered troops. Now, his forces had swelled to six hundred thousand soldiers. During their recent campaigns across alien star systems, they had recruited no small number of alien troops.
In the end, however, Broken Horn only kept five hundred thousand. The remaining hundred thousand weaker aliens became cultivation resources and food for the other soldiers.
