Chapter 3006: Chapter 3006
Zhan Kong and the others had long heard of the Otherworlders, and Wuying had even fought them before. However, their encounters hadn’t occurred in this very stronghold of the Otherworlders.
To them, these beings were merely another peculiar race. Having never experienced an invasion by the Otherworlders, they naturally couldn’t grasp the true horror of these creatures.
Moreover, as true powerhouses themselves, they had never faced any insolence from the Otherworlders in their presence.
That said, they saw no issue with exterminating them—only that they doubted Ye Liuyun could wipe them out entirely.
After all, like humans, demons, and savage beasts, the Otherworlders had already spread deep into countless star systems. Eradicating them completely would require not only massive manpower and endless campaigns but also an immense amount of time just to locate them all.
Ye Liuyun understood their perspective, but his resolve to destroy the Otherworlders remained unshaken. The memory of how they turned humans into corpse demons was seared into his soul—whenever he encountered them, he would show no mercy.
Thus, in this final battle, the Otherworlder army would undoubtedly serve as the vanguard, forced to fight amongst themselves and bleed each other dry.
After years of warfare against the Otherworlders alongside his allied forces, Ye Liuyun was finally nearing the end of this struggle—and he welcomed it with eager anticipation.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned within the Otherworlders’ stronghold.
More of their kind poured in through teleportation arrays, while weaker, low-realm individuals were devoured by their stronger kin. Ever since learning of Ye Liuyun’s firepower chariots, the Otherworlders had prepared two contingencies: one, to continuously strengthen their elites through cannibalistic consumption, and two, to recall every available soldier to pave the way for their last remaining elite legion.
During the time Ye Liuyun had spent sweeping through their territories, the Otherworlders had managed to nurture thirty Unity Realm experts—three tiers combined—while those at the first tier of Unity Realm now numbered over five hundred.
The stronghold and its surrounding planets had become scenes worse than hell itself. The cries of low-realm Otherworlders echoed endlessly, yet none could escape their fate of being consumed.
Whether their elites or the last-ditch legion, all fed upon the weak. Yet even this cobbled-together elite force numbered only two hundred thousand—hardly a match for Ye Liuyun’s Otherworlder Legion in terms of strength.
Across these planets, the Otherworlder armies now swarmed in the tens of millions, though most were of pitifully low realms—clearly no match for Ye Liuyun’s forces.
This dire situation stemmed from the devastating blow Ye Liuyun had dealt them in the battle where he annihilated their Bone Beast Legion and Black Armor Legion. The scale of their defeat had far exceeded their expectations, leaving them reeling in shock.
So now, from the commanding generals to the elders of the council, the entire leadership of the alien race had been newly appointed.
The current chieftain of the aliens, Meng Tianlei, was a red-armored warrior with formidable soul power and the ability to wield lightning. Yet, even he was wary of facing Ye Liuyun’s army of vengeful spirits. No matter how strong he was individually, he stood no chance against tens of millions of spectral soldiers.
Among the three original Unity Realm powerhouses of the alien race, Meng Tianlei was one, and his strength had now risen to the third level of Unity Realm. However, the other two had already been eliminated while they were out gathering intelligence.
One had been slain by Ye Tiandao and her elite Blade Corps.
The other had attempted to capture some alien commanders from their own ranks, hoping to turn them against their kin. Unfortunately, his target had already been branded with Ye Liuyun’s slave seal. The moment he made his move, Ye Liuyun detected it. Moreover, his soul power wasn’t strong enough to erase the seal.
Left with no choice, he had to kill the commander. But he was soon surrounded by the alien army, his energy drained, and he was hacked to death by the alien soldiers.
After suffering several heavy losses, the aliens stopped sending out elite scouts. Instead, they focused on recalling all their forces back to their stronghold, preparing for a final stand.
At the same time, they discreetly sent some of their young and remaining strong warriors to other alien settlements, hoping to preserve some of their strength.
Ye Liuyun and his allies could do little about this. They knew it was impossible to wipe out the entire alien race in one stroke. But with most of their strongest warriors and an army numbering in the tens of millions here, this faction of the alien race was effectively doomed.
As for whether there were other alien strongholds of this scale in other star systems, Ye Liuyun and his companions had no way of knowing—nor could they afford to think that far ahead. For now, their priority was to eradicate the threat before them.
At the very least, eliminating these aliens would make the surrounding star systems much safer, saving countless lives.
The aliens weren’t just sitting idle, either. They deployed all their colossal and large warships, positioning them around their planet, linked by defensive formations to withstand the first wave of attacks.
Ye Liuyun’s formation masters had long since devised countermeasures. They had already begun deploying agile Lynx-class warships and artillery vehicles. According to their estimates, the alien fleet would be obliterated the moment the battle began.
Ye Liuyun’s forces had already completed their encirclement of the alien stronghold. Yu Xiaofeng had arrived ahead of time to coordinate with Ye Liuyun in commanding the army, while the Blade Corps stood guard at the central command tent.
The Ancient Demon Corps and the demon army had also arrived and would soon take their assigned positions. The human army of six hundred thousand, being the farthest away, had yet to arrive.
During this time, Ye Liuyun had Zhan Kong and Wu Ying scout the alien forces, gaining a thorough understanding of their strength and numbers. With Zhan Kong’s spatial abilities and Wu Ying’s mastery of cosmic energy—both surpassing even Ye Liuyun’s own skills—they infiltrated undetected.
Ye Liuyun also observed the aliens from afar through his golden pupils, verifying the gathered intelligence. Once Yu Xiaofeng received this information, he could adjust the army’s deployment accordingly.
By then, all nine of their firepower chariots would be deployed. Based on their current observations, eliminating these aliens shouldn’t pose any major issues.
The strongest forces among them were only ancient demon guards, demonic beasts, and skeletal puppets at the third or fourth level of the Harmony Realm. The aliens truly hadn’t managed to cultivate any stronger warriors during this period.
Even if they were hiding additional forces, the combined might of Zhan Kong, Wu Ying, and Tyrannosaurus would be more than enough. Besides, within Ye Liuyun’s spatial realm, he still had thirty captive martial artists at the sixth level of the Harmony Realm, along with his demonic beasts. The aliens couldn’t possibly conceal that much hidden power.
Ye Liuyun also made a trip to the Netherworld, informing Zhuge Feiyu and Asura to prepare for battle.
The Netherworld’s forces had grown even stronger, now boasting spectral entities at the fifth and sixth levels of the Harmony Realm, so Ye Liuyun didn’t need to worry. Between Zhuge Feiyu’s strategic mind and Asura’s martial prowess, the Underworld was already running like a well-oiled machine.
Moreover, the Netherworld now commanded an army of tens of millions. Even if newly arrived spectral warriors tried to cause trouble, they wouldn’t dare act recklessly.
