Chapter 2392: No Lingering Aftermath

The whole world seemed to shrink suddenly and slipped into his body.

Then everything went black, and all he saw was a starry sky, with himself floating suspended within it.

Within his Space World, another massive earthquake occurred.

The two worlds collided, causing the people inside to panic wildly.

But this time his clone had warned them in advance, so they were mentally prepared.

The ones even more panicked were the residents of Outpost Island.

It was their first experience of such an event, and lacking experience, they naturally feared the relentless tremors.

Ye Liuyun immediately used a teleport Black Tower to rush back to Lookout Island, returning to the Xuan Kong Stone to accelerate the fusion of the Space World.

This time, while fusing the Space World inside the Xuan Kong Stone, Ye Liuyun was not busy cultivating.

His current cultivation merely involved absorbing some spiritual energy from the Divine Crystals.

Thus he summoned Pei Yong, Qiong Qi and others to discuss how to deal with the 400,000 people left on the Alien Battlefield.

"Since they've already been abandoned, we might as well wipe them out directly!"

Even Pei Yong thought those people should not be kept.

Qiong Qi again urged him: "Look at their cultivation levels—neither high nor low; they lack the qualification to confront the Foreign Tribe, and the Holy Land Dynasty certainly despises them.

Therefore the Holy Land Dynasty is likely to annihilate them outright and seize their resources.

Don't forget, those Martial Cultivators, though lacking Starry Sky warships and Flying Swallows, possess Storage Yuan Stones, Exchange Yuan Stones, and weapons forged from Black Gold.

Those resources cannot escape the eyes of the Holy Land Dynasty's artificers; they will surely study them and use them against us!"

"Exactly! They still have resources on them.

Those are the secret that keep our advantage over the Dynasty Army.

Even if we don't annihilate them, we must retrieve those crucial resources!"

Pei Yong immediately echoed the sentiment.

Qiong Qi retorted: "Collect? How do we collect?

The moment you say collect, they'll just bury a few things underground, and you can't retrieve them cleanly!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun made a decision.

"Hmm, these resources must never fall into the Holy Land Dynasty's hands!"

He immediately ordered his clone to use a teleport Black Tower to rush to the army led by Yu Xiaofeng and Tiger King, instructing them to bring that army back.

At the same time, he had the Magic Vine ready, letting it use the opportunity to improve itself.

Before the clone departed, he also consulted Yu Xiaofeng for his opinion.

Yu Xiaofeng agreed to the decision.

He had originally considered recruiting some strong Martial Cultivators to supplement the troops.

But realizing the difficulty and time required, he simply gave up.

Thus the clone placed them into the Space World and brought them back.

Then, together with the Magic Vine, they were thrown by the clone into the Alien Battlefield to handle themselves.

Yu Xiaofeng and Tiger King's squad, composed of Demon Race and Demon Beast members, would slay any ferocious beasts or humans they encountered in the Starry Sky, storing them as food reserves, while hoarding resources.

No matter how much Yu Xiaofeng tried to control them, they could not change their nature.

So he straightforwardly suggested to Ye Liuyun that this army could be cultivated as an extermination force.

Moreover, since the Demon Race and Demon Beasts have greatly advanced in cultivation, their resources and food reserves are exceptionally abundant, allowing further appropriate recruitment.

Consequently, the clone rushed to the Demon Race World, recruited twenty thousand demons, and had them mine a lot of Black Gold Ore to bring back as material reserves for artificery.

A month later, a squad of Flying Swallows dispatched by Pei Yong reported that a small Flying Boat of the Holy Land Dynasty was speeding toward Outpost Island.

The number of Martial Cultivators aboard the Flying Boat was unknown, but judging by its size, it matched the one Ye Liuyun had previously captured.

It was expected to arrive at Outpost Island in a little over a month.

"Should we let that squad of Flying Swallows attack them?

to buy us some time?"

Pei Yong asked Ye Liuyun as well.

Ye Liuyun immediately rejected the suggestion: "No, keep the Flying Swallows away from their Flying Boat and have them retreat at full speed.

A squad of Flying Swallows is too few, and if they have many Martial Cultivators, they could be easily captured.

We cannot give them a chance to capture and dismantle the Flying Swallows now!"

"Yes!"

Pei Yong promptly issued the order.

That squad of Flying Swallows, using their speed, shook off the Holy Land Dynasty's Flying Boat and returned ahead of schedule.

The Holy Land Dynasty's Flying Boat carried twelve Heavenly Human Dual Martial Cultivators.

They also spotted that squad of Flying Swallows.

Just as they prepared to attack and moved against the Flying Swallows, the Swallows swiftly withdrew.

Their Flying Boat clearly could not catch up with the Swallows.

Even if they entered the void directly using their cultivation, they could not pursue the Swallows over long distances, so they had to give up.

But their purpose had already been exposed.

Although there were twelve strong individuals, facing an interception by a hundred thousand troops, they stood no chance.

Thus they dared not advance further, fearing Ye Liuyun's trap, and promptly turned back to rejoin the million-strong army.

Ye Liuyun also tried to stay within the Space World to continue the fusion.

This time, the area of Outpost Island he refined was truly enormous.

Although there is no vibration now, the fusion of the Primordial Power is still not complete.

Ye Liuyun also did not urge Ye Ling.

Xiao Ye Ling is already working hard to promote the fusion of the two worlds; urging her is useless.

The vanguard detachment is merely some Martial Cultivator experts; he still isn't too worried.

A few days later, he summoned Pei Yong: "Send another fifty Flying Swallows to reinforce the previous team, then go scout the route."

If they encounter a single Flying Boat, attack it directly.

Note that those Martial Cultivators are all at the Heaven-Man Second Realm; when attacking, try to keep as much distance from them as possible.

Yes!

Pei Yong answered affirmatively and immediately dispatched another fifty Flying Swallows to meet up with the returning squad of Flying Swallows.

But unexpectedly, when they went again this time, they discovered that the small Flying Boat had actually escaped.

They then continued forward scouting until they discovered the Holy Land Dynasty's great army, whereupon they retreated.

"One million troops—Holy Land Dynasty really goes all out!"

After Ye Liuyun and the others received the news, they all marveled at the Holy Land Dynasty's extravagance.

"How great it would be if we could have that one-million-strong army!"

Yu Xiaofeng sighed.

"Don't rush; after I also take back Lookout Island, we'll go recruit troops in the Holy Land Dynasty!"

Ye Liuyun said: "Our strength will eventually surpass theirs!"

"Should we send out all the Flying Swallows to intercept them in Xingkong?"

Pei Yong asked tentatively.

Ye Liuyun was also somewhat tempted, but he felt that since they had many small Flying Boats, there must also be many strongers.

"Just in case, let's wait until we have a chance later to talk about it!"

Ye Liuyun ultimately gave up as well.

Next, the legion led by Magic Vine and Tiger King also completed the mop‑up.

Working together, the Martial Cultivators on the Alien Battlefield found themselves with no way to heaven or door to earth—even those hiding underground could be dug out by the Magic Vine.
