Chapter 2971: Chapter 2971
Facing the charge of the Bone Beast army, Ye Liuyun remained unruffled. With a swift motion, he released over fifty skeletal puppets from his spatial world directly into the ranks of the enemy soldiers, instantly disrupting their formation.
The moment the ancient demon skeletal puppets emerged, their towering figures and the overwhelming aura of the Third Level of Guiyi shattered the enemy’s battle lines. Seizing the opportunity, Ye Liuyun drew his Demon-Slaying Blade and charged headlong toward the Bone Beast soldiers.
The alien commander on the opposite side took one look at the puppets’ cultivation level and massive size and immediately knew he was outmatched. To avoid being instantly annihilated, he ordered his bone beasts to unleash a barrage of soul attacks.
The spirits within the bone beasts surged forth, lunging at the puppets—only to find their attacks useless, as the skeletal constructs had no souls to target. Frustrated, the commander redirected the spirits to assault Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness instead. He was confident that even if Ye Liuyun had protective treasures, the sheer number of First Level Guiyi spirits would overwhelm him.
For a moment, Ye Liuyun himself was genuinely concerned that the Ten Thousand Gods Token might not withstand such a concentrated assault. His own soul swiftly summoned Netherworld Ghost Flames, engulfing his entire sea of consciousness in a blazing inferno. His two souls also materialized golden blades, bracing for a desperate fight against the incoming spirits.
But to his surprise, the Ten Thousand Gods Token erupted with an intense golden radiance. Every Bone Beast spirit that entered was instantly dissolved, as if vanishing into nothingness—without even the slightest strain.
*Has the Ten Thousand Gods Token grown this powerful? It must be absorbing energy from those captured planets!* Ye Liuyun inwardly rejoiced.
If he could annihilate all these spirits, not only would his own soul power skyrocket, but the pressure on his Devil Beast allies behind him would also ease significantly.
At that moment, the bone beasts beneath the alien soldiers began collapsing one by one. By the time the last spirit was extinguished, the skeletal mounts had completely crumbled into lifeless heaps.
"Surround them—split them into two groups! Leave them to us!" Ye Liuyun immediately commanded his puppets.
Truth be told, the puppets hadn’t even needed to strike a single blow. Their mere presence and oppressive aura had already thrown the alien commander into disarray.
Now, the alien soldiers stood dumbfounded, gripping their spears in stunned silence. They couldn’t believe that Ye Liuyun had emerged unscathed from the onslaught of so many Bone Beast spirits.
But what shocked them even more was that the high-level puppets didn’t attack. Instead, they merely corralled the soldiers, dividing them into two groups of fifty each—perfect for Ye Liuyun to practice his skills.
It wasn’t until Ye Liuyun charged forward that the enemy commander finally reacted, roaring an order for his soldiers to attack.
Ye Liuyun swung his blade, engaging them in fierce combat. The demonic beasts behind him knew this was their chance to test their skills, and they swiftly shifted into their true forms, joining the battle against the alien warriors.
By now, Ye Liuyun had confirmed that the ambush was led by elite alien fighters—just as he had anticipated. His strategy was sound, so he fought without worry.
Meanwhile, on the main battlefield, the alien Bone Beast Legion had just disembarked from their warships, forming ranks with their full force of 200,000 soldiers. The alien army mirrored their movements, assembling in formation. Ye Liuyun’s second incarnation had already arrived there, prepared to summon the Gate of the Underworld, battle-ready.
The aliens’ deceptive tactics—mixing truth with falsehood—had failed to achieve anything. But Ye Liuyun wasn’t in a hurry to rush over. Instead, he used this skirmish as training.
He had been starved of battle for too long, and now that he finally had an opportunity, he wasn’t about to let it slip away.
Leading over a dozen demonic beasts at the Unity Realm, he faced off against fifty Unity Realm soldiers from the Bone Beast Legion—just enough pressure to push them all.
Ye Liuyun unleashed his full blade intent, merging it with advance energy energy, the power of heaven and earth, and even the radiance of Buddha’s light. With a single slash, he cleaved an alien warrior in two.
Lei Ming, though not yet breaking through to the second level of Unity Realm, effortlessly crushed an enemy with a single swipe of her claws.
The Dragon Maiden had it even easier—one swing of her tail could smash two or three foes, while a single grasp of her talons obliterated another. The White Tiger and Stone Ape also dispatched their opponents with ease. The three Black Tortoises were just as efficient, each strike lethal and swift.
The Nine-Headed Fiend Dragon didn’t bother with claws—its nine heads lunged forward, some spewing flames, others exhaling toxic fumes, while the rest simply tore into flesh. A single encounter was enough to finish an alien.
Only the Black Tiger and Little Blue Ice took slightly longer to defeat their opponents, though they were never in danger of losing. The Vermilion Bird, meanwhile, was too busy devouring wandering spirits to even engage in combat.
Chi Lian, shielded by the demonic beasts, focused entirely on absorbing the aliens’ power of bloodline. Only when an enemy was too weakened to fight back would she strike the final blow before moving on to the next.
Their squad fought with such ferocity that even after slaughtering all fifty aliens, they were still hungry for more. So Ye Liuyun ordered the skeletal puppets to release another fifty enemy soldiers for them to continue the carnage.
This time, Ye Liuyun sheathed his blade, opting for close-quarters combat with his fists. He suppressed his foes with his power of bloodline while tempering his physical body.
The last few wounded aliens were left for the demonic beasts to consume, strengthening their spiritual energy.
The remaining fifty foreign elites were swiftly eliminated by them. Ye Liuyun released the demonic vines to clean up the battlefield before collecting the puppets and returning to their flagship.
As for the battlefield where the main army was engaged, he no longer needed to pay attention.
The battle there had already begun. His second incarnation had unleashed the spectral army from the underworld, slaughtering the bone beasts’ spirits while focusing on eliminating their three-eyed foreign soldiers.
Broken Horn had also deployed two firepower tanks, blasting through the Bone Beast horde.
The Bone Beast army had never expected to face such devastating weapons. They attempted to counterattack by deploying their own warships, but the firepower tanks obliterated them in an instant.
The two tanks charged straight into the heart of the Bone Beast forces, sweeping their fire in all directions and annihilating the enemy in waves. Meanwhile, the spectral army encircled the bone beasts, targeting areas beyond the tanks’ range.
Ye Liuyun’s foreign legion had already begun fanning out, surrounding the Bone Beast army. It was likely they wouldn’t even need to lift a finger before the entire 200,000-strong horde was wiped out.
No matter how powerful the enemy’s commanders, elders, or elites were, none could withstand the relentless bombardment of the firepower tanks. In the face of overwhelming strength, all tactics were meaningless.
Moreover, the enemy’s forces weren’t particularly formidable—no warriors at the second level of Unity had even appeared yet. It seemed their strength had only recently improved and hadn’t yet reached significant heights.
Seizing the opportunity, the second incarnation voraciously devoured souls, using the soldiers’ battles to hone his skills. His golden blade and Buddha’s Light power proved highly effective against the foreign foes.
Of the demonic beasts he had brought with him, only the Unity-level-four Sky Demon Wolf remained by his side for protection. The rest had been left with the Exorcist Corps. With Luo Xiu and the spectral elites guarding him, he had no fear of being overwhelmed by the bone beasts’ spirits.
