Chapter 2783: Encounter in the Starry Sky

Ye Liuyun did not leave the Demon Scorpion star system right away.

Duanjiao had already foreseen the defeat when the first blue-armored army was beaten, and had already sent out a request for aid.

At that time a Foreign Tribe responded, saying two nearby tribes would come to reinforce, but they may not have arrived yet because of timing.

After the Demon Race defeated the Foreign Tribe, the various tribes scattered back to their own territories, making it difficult to regroup, and they might be taken by surprise by the Foreign Tribe's reinforcements.

The Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine had just broken through their realms and needed energy to consolidate; fighting the Foreign Tribe was the best way for them to absorb energy. Ye Liuyun's impression of the Demon Race was not too bad, and these people did not hold much hostility toward him, so he did not wish to start killing them.

Thus Ye Liuyun intends to stay here, leave after wiping out the Foreign Tribe reinforcements. It also means he hasn't taken the Demon Race's many star worlds in vain.

Ye Liuyun and his duplicate take turns each day using Golden Pupil to watch the movements in Xingkong. Although Lei Ming's Golden Pupil has also greatly improved, Ye Liuyun still doesn't fully trust her, fearing she might get distracted by play.

Soon, Ye Liuyun spotted a Faction rushing here. He immediately went to meet them, while also sending out his own Faction strongman.

The opposing Faction, upon seeing their own kind, and that they were a Dominant Eightfold strongman, immediately slowed and stopped.

"Which tribe are you from, and what are you doing?" Ye Liuyun let his Faction ask them.

"Reporting, sir, we are a nearby tribe; we received the Elder's request for aid and hurried back to reinforce," the opposing Faction explained.

"Is the reinforcement only you few?" Ye Liuyun, controlling the Foreign Tribe, continued to ask.

"We are scouting; behind us is our million-strong army," the other replied honestly: "There is also another tribe we met on the road; they are also coming to reinforce, with five hundred thousand people!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately employed Time Power to place Slave Seals on these Faction members, and through Soul Search discerned the strength of the reinforcing Foreign Tribe.

These reinforcing Foreign Tribe are not weak in strength. Those weaker likely wouldn't dare come. They have a little over half a month to arrive here, and Ye Liuyun can use the time to prepare.

He gathered all the Foreign Tribe strongmen, letting

them use the time to improve their strength. He still has five to six hundred Foreign Tribe strongmen left, plus over fifty thousand blue-armored Foreign Tribe elite soldiers.

Ye Liuyun felt that his Foreign Tribe squad was too numerous, wasting resources, and it would be more practical to cultivate a few Dominant Ninth strongmen. So he planned to keep enough Foreign Tribe for himself and his companions to practice, then let those Foreign Tribe strongmen devour to raise their realms.

But the Foreign Tribe all said that this method can indeed raise them, but upgrading from Dominant Eightfold is difficult, with low success rate.

"Then just devour more!"

Ye Liuyun didn't mind. He thought that with a fifteen hundred thousand army about to arrive, it was very possible to use this chance to cultivate some Foreign Tribe strongmen.

So he selected three Dominant Eightfold Foreign Tribe for cultivation: one was Duanjiao, one was the strongest Faction strongman, and one was a three-eyed Foreign Tribe. This three-eyed Foreign Tribe, after this battle, had already devoured several of its own kind's three-eyed, and its Black and White Light strength was not weak.

These Foreign Tribe were also taken by the duplicate into the Space World, where Time Power accelerated their rapid advancement.

The fifty thousand blue-armored Foreign Tribe army became their best devouring target. Not only were they numerous, but crucially their realms were high; the lowest were Zhuanzai Wuchong. Duanjiao's cultivation of this blue-armored army had taken years of effort and resources to grow the tribe to this size.

Ye Liuyun also didn't let them waste, ordering them to start devouring from the lower realms.

The three strongmen's devouring speed was not slow; within three months in the duplicate's Space World, they devoured all under twenty thousand blue-armored Foreign Tribe of Zhuanzai Wuchong, eating almost nonstop each day.

Only Duanjiao showed signs of a breakthrough. Its foundation was solid, its True Essence condensed, so it was not surprising it broke through first.

"Continue!"

Ye Liuyun felt no pity for those Foreign Tribe, and let them keep devouring Sevenfold Sovereign blue-armored Foreign Tribe to speed up. After another month, Duanjiao's realm directly broke through to Dominant Ninth. Then, before the Foreign Tribe reinforcements arrived, the Faction's realm also broke through to Dominant Ninth.

Only that three-eyed Foreign Tribe, its foundation was the weakest, having just risen to Dominant Eightfold not long ago, so it required a lot of energy.

Ye Liuyun let it continue devouring to improve, he

then released Qin Peng and Kuishan's two-million-strong army to meet the enemy in Xingkong.

This was also their first large-scale battle in Xingkong. Previously the armies had trained and often engaged in small-scale Xingkong skirmishes, but such a massive Xingkong confrontation was their first. Other Leaders also came out to watch, to understand the characteristics of battles in Xingkong.

The two-million-strong army and over ten thousand Lingmao Warships lined up to meet the fight in Xingkong, a considerable scale.

The Demon Race, seeing this army appear again, was also very curious. They sent people to inquire and learned it was to help them deal with the Foreign Tribe reinforcements, so they had no objections. Even several nearby tribes organized some Demon Race strongmen, preparing to come support.

The Foreign Tribe reinforcements had never considered fighting in Xingkong. But now Ye Liuyun's side had already deployed formations; if they didn't launch Warships, they might be surrounded and beaten.

So the Foreign Tribe also launched Warships, marching toward Ye Liuyun's side.

Ye Liuyun and his duplicate locked onto some of the stronger individuals in the opposing strongmen squads. Their strongmen were few, totaling just over a thousand, but Dominant Sixth and Sevenfold Sovereign each made up half, with a few remaining at Dominant Eightfold.

This strength was actually quite good, but for Ye Liuyun it wasn't worrisome. As long as he released those blue-armored Foreign Tribe, he could crush these Foreign Tribe strongmen. No need for the Purple Qilin to intervene.

At the start of the battle, Ye Liuyun and his duplicate each acted, using Time Power to capture over two hundred Foreign Tribe strongmen, then he released Duanjiao and the two Dominant Ninth Faction members, leading twenty thousand blue-armored Foreign Tribe to charge at those Foreign Tribe strongmen.

The Spearhead Corps and Yuan Hao's twenty thousand guard unit also joined the ambush, taking the chance to give these people practice.

The opposing Foreign Tribe, seeing Duanjiao leading blue-armored Foreign Tribe toward them, immediately realized they were late; Duanjiao had already been captured. Moreover, Duanjiao's realm had risen to Dominant Ninth, making this battle hard for them to win.

But now the battle had begun; if they retreated, their main formation would be disrupted and they'd be killed even more. They could only try to have the front troops hold off, let the rear troops withdraw, and after creating distance, escape using Warships.
