Chapter 2276
After they returned, they first handed the Cui Yuan Liquid to Lin Luoyi for analysis.
Once confirmed non‑toxic and harmless, they directly had Lin Luoyi ingest one drop and apply one drop externally to assess the effect on advancing realms and body‑refining.
The others were not in a hurry; Ye Liuyun thought they would certainly obtain more.
So he did not rush to tell Qiong Qi and the others, lest they become anxious.
He simply gave the exchanged ore to Qiong Qi and Tong Xin, letting the two refine them, then forged the Storage Yuan Stones into pendants and equipped the soldiers with them.
The conversion stones were intended to be forged into large‑capacity energy‑conversion artifacts.
He also took out his universal cauldron for Tong Xin and Qiong Qi to use as a reference.
The teleportation array formation he had secretly recorded was also passed to Qiong Qi, asking Qiong Qi to help research whether this formation plate could be fitted to the Spirit Cloud Business Association and his own army, making future supply transfers much easier.
The refining and shaping of the Storage Yuan Stones were completed quickly.
Moreover, Qiong Qi and Tong Xin also molded their appearance into the skull motif of the Death Legion.
The True Essence it could contain was such that ordinary Ninth Layer Late Stage soldiers could store the True Essence of two Yuan Dan.
The Storage Yuan Stones refined for Ye Liuyun and the others were even more exaggerated.
They could store the True Essence of ten Yuan Dan, more than ten times the capacity of Ye Liuyun's original Storage Yuan Stones.
Ye Liuyun immediately swapped out the original Storage Yuan Stones and gave one to each of the women beside him.
The friends and Leaders around Ye Liuyun also received this large‑capacity Storage Yuan Stone, each of them very excited.
The soldiers were even more thrilled, as if they had gained two extra lives.
Ye Liuyun instructed everyone to hang the white skull pendants close to the body, keeping them concealed so the garrison here would not notice.
Thus the entire Death Legion silently equipped the Storage Yuan Stones.
As for the application of conversion stones, there was no rush; it was left to Tong Xin to study slowly.
The goal was to make conversion stones not only transform energy but also convert into energy identical to a Martial Cultivator's True Essence, facilitating rapid absorption by Martial Cultivators.
Qiong Qi's main task was to specialize in researching the Teleportation Array Disc.
At that moment, Ye Liuyun also received a message delivered by Man Feng's envoy.
Their scouting soldiers also confirmed that the Foreign Tribe had indeed increased by one hundred thousand troops.
He also relayed the three dynasties' reply, hoping Ye Liuyun would show alliance sincerity and lead troops into battle.
Of course, the three dynasties would not let Ye Liuyun work for nothing; as long as Ye Liuyun's side eliminated thirty thousand Foreign Tribe members, they would grant them a Mineral Vein as a reward, and all spoils would belong to Ye Liuyun's side.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun's force would not need to obey the allied army's command and could act freely.
This outcome matched Ye Liuyun's prediction, so he readily agreed.
He immediately led the Death Legion to break camp and charge straight toward the Foreign Tribe's main base.
He did not want to move with their allied forces, lest he reveal too much of his own strength.
Ye Liuyun's decisive deployment caused the allied forces to look upon them with newfound respect.
Moreover, according to Ye Liuyun's marching direction, they were set to meet the Foreign Tribe's main force of one hundred thousand troops.
And this hundred‑thousand‑strong army was not newly reinforced troops but the Foreign Tribe's long‑standing army that had been fighting on this battlefield.
All three dynasties knew Ye Liuyun's route would encounter a strong enemy, yet none intended to inform him.
They even hoped Ye Liuyun's army would be wiped out outright, so they wouldn't have to trouble themselves dealing with them.
After confirming Ye Liuyun's marching direction, Man Feng specifically sent someone to give Ye Liuyun a reminder.
He thought, after all, they were all of the Human Race and did not wish Ye Liuyun's side to be annihilated by the Foreign Tribe.
Moreover, he began actively dispatching troops to follow behind Ye Liuyun, preparing to provide support.
After Ye Liuyun deployed his forces, he immediately released a Kuailei Beast far ahead to scout and gauge the battlefield.
Upon learning they would meet the Foreign Tribe's main army, they nonetheless did not alter their marching route.
Because Ye Liuyun's side had decided, after discussion, that either they would not fight, or if they did, they would fight the strongest.
The hundred‑thousand allied troops behind them also looked forward to this battle of Ye Liuyun's side.
Ye Liuyun's force was not large; many Martial Cultivators were curious whether this team that had once defeated the Foreign Tribe was bragging.
Ye Liuyun led his troops forward until they were half a day's march from the Foreign Tribe, then halted.
The Magic Vine was still pre‑emptively ambushed underground.
Qiong Qi arranged a Defense Array at their garrison.
At this moment the Foreign Tribe also discovered them.
The Foreign Tribe was also curious about this team, having clearly never clashed before.
But seeing their numbers were few, they made no substantial preparations and kept advancing, intending to wipe out Ye Liuyun's army in one go.
Yet once the two armies engaged, the Foreign Tribe's army regretted it.
They first dispatched twenty thousand vanguards to launch a direct attack on Ye Liuyun's side.
The remaining eighty thousand troops continued to approach slowly.
When the twenty thousand closed in, Ye Liuyun suddenly released a half‑beast army.
Using war chariots and Energy Cannons, they bewildered the twenty thousand Foreign Tribe soldiers.
The charging Foreign Tribe fell in rows, never managing to get close.
Before they could react, the war chariot surged into their ranks.
These Foreign Tribe forces were completely routed and retreated.
The half‑beast army immediately pursued, and driven by the war chariot, they charged straight into the Foreign Tribe's main force, disrupting the entire formation.
Moreover, the half‑beast army was not eager to press the attack; they continuously bombarded from afar with Energy Cannons, leaving the Foreign Tribe with no foothold to counterattack.
In the end, the Foreign Tribe's supreme commander had to use human shields, forcing the army to press toward the half‑beast army.
Yet when they finally managed to close in, the gilded cannons on the half‑beast armor began simultaneous energy‑beam volleys, and countless Foreign Tribe soldiers kept falling.
With no other choice, the Foreign Tribe Leader could only assign a portion of his soldiers to hold back the half‑beast legion, covering the main force's retreat.
But just as he announced the retreat, the Magic Vine struck suddenly, and Ye Liuyun threw a Sealing Demon Tablet, killing the Foreign Tribe Leader.
At the same time, soldiers of the Death Legion came in from both flanks, and under the cover of the Puppet Beast, they charged straight into the Foreign Tribe's main army.
Thus the entire ten‑thousand‑strong Foreign Tribe army began a full‑scale rout.
In just half a day, Ye Liuyun's forces chased them for tens of thousands of li, slaying more than fifty thousand Foreign Tribe soldiers.
Then Ye Liuyun withdrew his troops, pulling the Magic Vine and the half‑beast legion back into the Space World.
The speed at which he shattered the Foreign Tribe's army surprised the three‑sided coalition following him.
By the time Man Feng received the news, Ye Liuyun had already returned with his troops.
The scouts he sent only saw Foreign Tribe corpses strewn everywhere.
Jing Yong was leading three hundred Black Armor Guards, cleaning up the battlefield.
The scouts pressed forward, and before they could see how the half‑beast legion defeated the Foreign Tribe, Ye Liuyun had already returned with the Death Legion.
