Chapter 611: Capture the Thief by First Capturing the King!

Above the Blood Sea, two great armies representing the top powers of the Great Wasteland faced off from afar.

On one side was the Yao Clan Heavenly Court, starlight brilliant, divine majesty awe-inspiring, ten million Yao soldiers and Yao generals forming the prototype of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array.

On the other side was the Asura Sect, blood Qi soaring to the heavens, killing intent pervading, a hundred million Asura clan members roaring amidst blood waves, their forms varied, males ugly and ferocious, females bewitching and bloodthirsty, every single one exuding pure malice born for slaughter.

"Di Jun, do you truly intend to fight my Blood Sea to the death for that group of ant-like humans?"

Minghe Laozu stood on the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, wielding the Yutu and Aobi Swords, standing before the Blood Sea Army formation, asking in a cold voice.

Though he was arrogant, he was no fool.

The Yao Clan Heavenly Court had turned out in full force; this battle array far exceeded his expectations.

Especially those three hundred sixty-five Star Spirit Main Banners, drawing down the Zhou Tian starlight, which had a natural suppression against his Blood Sea karma.

In a head-on clash, he had no certainty of victory.

"Ants?"

Di Jun looked down on him from above, a mocking glint hooking the corner of his mouth, "Minghe, you defy Heaven and slaughter living beings; you have long been intolerable to the Heavenly Dao. Today, I act on Heaven's Mandate Punishment!"

"Heaven's Mandate Punishment? Hahahaha!"

Minghe seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, "What thing is your Yao Clan? Also worthy of speaking of Heaven? My Asura Clan is transformed from Pangu Bloodline and Earth Turbid Evil, born as sons of the Great Earth! Your Yao Clan is merely a bunch of feathered and horned beasts who usurped the Heavenly Emperor's throne!"

"More words are useless."

Di Jun couldn't be bothered to waste words with him; he raised the Imperial Sword in his hand and pointed forward.

"Bai Ze."

"Subject is here." Yao Clan Commander-in-Chief Bai Ze stepped forward, his usually refined face now full of icy killing intent.

"Cleanse the Blood Sea, purify the filth."

"Not a single Asura Clan member left!"

"Obey the decree!"

Bai Ze bowed respectfully to Di Jun, then turned, facing the hundred million Yao Clan Army, the command flag in his hand slashing down fiercely.

"Zhou Tian Star Dou, starlight purify!"

Boom—

As his order fell, the three hundred sixty-five Star Spirit Main Banners blazed with light!

From the Nine Heavens above, boundless star power was drawn down, converging into torrents of starlight thick as the Star River, rushing down to scour the Blood Sea below!

Sizzle—!

Holy, brilliant starlight, upon contact with that filthy, foul-smelling blood water, erupted with a violent sound.

Like boiling oil into water, large expanses of blood water instantly evaporated, transforming into black smoke that dissipated.

Countless low-level Asuras just born from the Blood Sea, before they could even let out a miserable scream, melted like ice and snow under the starlight's shine.

Just a single volley, and the Blood Sea's area was forcibly shaved off a layer!

"Damn it!"

Minghe saw this, his face changing drastically.

He knew he absolutely could not let the Yao Clan consume like this unchecked.

Though the Blood Sea was called boundless, it was also gathered from Pangu's filthy blood and Heaven-Earth karma, not truly infinite.

"Twelve All-Heavens Blood Demon Great Formation! Rise!"

Minghe roared in anger, tossing the Yutu and Aobi Swords into the air.

A hundred million Asura clan roared in unison, the Blood Evil Qi in their bodies instantly stirred, converging into twelve towering ten-thousand-zhang Blood Demon phantoms wielding various weapons!

These twelve Blood Demons, though far inferior to true Ancestral Witch true bodies, each exuded a terrifying aura comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal; they roared at the sky, jointly supporting a huge blood-colored canopy, dead-stopping the pouring starlight waterfalls.

"Kill!"

After blocking the first wave of attacks, Minghe unhesitatingly issued the all-out attack order.

"Roar!"

The hundred million Blood Sea Army, like a bursting blood-colored torrent, fearless of death, charged toward the Heavenly Court's star battleships.

"Ji Meng, Ying Zhao!" Bai Ze's expression unchanged, command flag waving again.

"Vanguard is here!"

Two Yao Saints likewise emitting Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal aura stepped forward from the ranks.

"Lead the Star River navy, engage the enemy!"

"Kill!"

War drums thundered, horns contended.

The Heavenly Court's star battleships opened hatches on both sides.

Countless Yao Clan Heavenly Soldiers clad in Silver Armor, wielding Long Spears, driving the surging Star River waters, formed battle arrays, meeting that blood-colored torrent.

Boom!

The two great armies, in the skies above the Blood Sea, slammed fiercely together.

Instantly, flesh and blood flew, severed limbs and broken arms falling like rain.

Every swing of a Yao Clan Heavenly Soldier's spear brought up large patches of starlight, purifying several Asuras into flying ash.

And every Asura pounce, their sharp claws and fangs carried Blood Evil Qi that could defile magic treasures and corrode Primordial Spirits.

This was a war of purification and corruption, order and chaos.

Every minute, every second, tens of thousands of living beings fell amid miserable cries.

High above, Di Jun watched all this with a cold expression, not making a move.

He knew this was a war of attrition, and also a prestige-establishing war.

He would let the entire Great Wasteland see the combat power of his Yao Clan Heavenly Soldiers, the divine might of his Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array!

On the other side, Minghe Laozu's expression grew increasingly ugly.

He discovered that his Asura Army, though vast in number and fearless of death, was like a mob before the Yao Clan's disciplined, seamlessly coordinated battle formations.

Especially the star light suppression of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, which weakened his Asura Clan's combat strength by no less than thirty percent out of thin air.

Under this waxing and waning, the casualty ratio actually reached one to three!

For every Yao Clan Heavenly Soldier that fell, three Asura were buried with them!

"No! If this continues, this Old Ancestor's Blood Sea Foundation will be completely wiped out!"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed through Minghe's eyes.

Blood Sea Capture Thief First Capture King!

He locked his gaze on the elegant Yao Commander-in-Chief, Bai Ze, who stood before the Yao Clan Army formation, holding a command flag and calmly directing troop movements.

As long as he killed him, the Yao Clan Army would inevitably fall into complete disarray!

"Bo Xun!" Minghe transmitted his voice secretly.

"Holy Lord!" A figure appeared silently beside him.

It was precisely that Asura King, Bo Xun, with four heads and eight arms, whose cultivation had reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal Peak.

"See that guy waving the flag?"

Minghe said sinisterly, "He is the Yao Clan Commander-in-Chief, Bai Ze. Kill him, and this Seat will record a first merit for you, bestowing one lotus seed of the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to help you break through to Great Luo!"

On Bo Xun's four faces, greedy and fanatical expressions appeared simultaneously.

"Subordinate, obeys command!"

Next Moment, Bo Xun's figure quietly merged into the Blood Sea Underworld below, vanishing without a trace.

None of this escaped Bai Ze's eyes.

As the Yao Clan's First Elder, with calculations that left nothing out, how could he not have anticipated Minghe's Decapitation Strategy?

He looked at the Blood Sea below, which appeared calm on the surface but actually had Blood Sea Currents, and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

"Want to play decapitation?"

"Ji Meng." Bai Ze likewise transmitted his voice.

"What orders does the Commander-in-Chief have?" Ji Meng, the Yao Saint fighting fiercely at the front, immediately responded.

"You feign defeat and retreat, luring that Asura King into this Central Army Great Tent of mine."

Ji Meng was startled upon hearing this, but out of absolute trust in Bai Ze, he did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Obeys command!"

On the battlefield.

Ji Meng was locked in fierce battle with an Asura King when suddenly, he seemed unable to hold on, was slapped flying by that Asura King's claw, vomited fresh blood, and fled in a sorry state toward the Central Army's direction.
