Chapter 2784: Can't Escape Anymore

The Foreign Tribe's massive army just moved, and Ye Liuyun, who was monitoring them, immediately spotted their movements.

"Their rear army wants to retreat! Kuishan and Qiang Hui each lead 500,000 troops to block them! Qin Peng, let the spirit cats intercept first!" Ye Liuyun immediately issued the order.

At the same time, he released the Sealing Demon Tablet and the Magic Vine, sending them to attack the Foreign Tribe's rear army.

Qin Peng was commanding his army to follow the spearhead unit's assault. Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's command, he immediately ordered all spirit cats to bombard the Foreign Tribe's rear army, disrupting their retreat.

When the Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet appeared, they went straight to attack the leaders of the two Foreign Tribe forces. Their combat experience was indeed rich; they already knew the principle of capturing the king with the thief. It so happened that each of the two got one, without contest.

The leaders of the two Foreign Tribe armies, faced with the Sealing Demon Tablet pressing down like a mountain and a mass of vines, could not drive them away; one was flattened outright, the other was wrapped by vines and had its energy drained.

Over at Duan Jiao, he and Yu Yi had already eliminated nearly half of the Foreign Tribe's strong ones. The two of them now had nothing to do, and the remaining were surrounded by them, being slaughtered by the blue‑armored Foreign Tribe.

"You also go intercept the Foreign Tribe's rear army!" Ye Liuyun dispatched Duan Jiao and Yu Yi to help, jointly slaying the rear army.

The spearhead unit and Yuan Hao's guard, seventy thousand Martial Cultivators, all at least at the Sixfold Sovereign Sixth Layer Realm, made killing these Foreign Tribe members a breeze.

Qin Peng could only lead his army behind them, picking off stray soldiers. He had no choice but to alter the deployment: only 100,000 troops stayed behind to kill any stragglers, while the other 900,000 rushed to the two flanks to encircle the front army's rear, aiming to let no Foreign Tribe escape.

The Foreign Tribe's rear army, before it could withdraw, was hit by the spirit cats' bombardment; the barrage from tens of thousands of spirit cat warships instantly threw the rear army into chaos, and the Foreign Tribe soldiers scattered to dodge the attack.

Kuishan and Qiang Hui arrived with their troops and immediately cut them down. Thus their rear army was the first to collapse.

Kuishan and Qiang Hui promptly ordered their soldiers to disperse, forming small units of ten thousand each, intercepting the fleeing Foreign Tribe in Xingkong.

After the blue‑armored Foreign Tribe slaughtered the strong ones, they also struck from behind the front army. The front army, already being forced backward, now had no retreat path, attempting to withdraw to the two flanks

, but the two flanks were blocked by the army Qin Peng sent.

Leaders of some small units immediately, while their formations were still orderly, tried to break out, but Qin Peng commanded his main force to detach a 100,000‑strong corps to intercept, meeting them step by step.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also released the Monster Beasts beside him and his men to spar, helping to intercept the fleeing Foreign Tribe. The other Foreign Tribe strong ones he had not yet deployed were also sent out together to help block the soldiers.

Each of these Foreign Tribe strong ones could seal off a vast area of space; with them intercepting, it was perfect—no Foreign Tribe could escape.

The other leaders watching from the side also lamented that to annihilate the enemy's army in Xingkong required a sufficient numerical advantage. In Xingkong, foes could flee in all directions; with fewer numbers, they simply couldn't be blocked.

Ye Liuyun also had his Duplicate Space World attempt to use Spatial Power to seal off an area, but the effect only worked against a single group of Foreign Tribe; he couldn't lock the entire void.

"Indeed, more power is needed!" In the end, even he admitted that without an absolute manpower advantage, one can only defeat the opponent, not annihilate them.

At this point the Foreign Tribe's massive army realized they could no longer escape. The Foreign Tribe soldiers began mass surrender. With their leaders slain, there was no restraint, and most soldiers had already been killed; those who didn't surrender faced certain death.

However, Ye Liuyun thought keeping them was useless, did not accept their surrender, and ordered his side to keep sparring until all these Foreign Tribe were slain.

The entire Xingkong battlefield was littered with floating Foreign Tribe corpses. The sight made even battlefield cleanup difficult. Yet Ye Liuyun had a solution: he let the Magic Vine, the Sealing Demon Tablet, and the Foreign Tribe gradually gather resources, while Qin Peng left some soldiers to cordon off the battlefield.

The whole battle lasted half a day, and cleaning up almost took a full day. The Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine just voraciously devoured and absorbed, but those Foreign Tribe strong ones, knowing their future resource opportunities were scarce, didn't even spare the Storage Ring.

Ye Liuyun was unhurried, waiting patiently. After they finished cleaning the battlefield, he also allocated the resources the Foreign Tribe had gathered.

The corpses of the Foreign Tribe strong ones were first given to Duan Jiao and Yu Yi, enough for them to solidify their realms. The remainder went to the three‑eyed Foreign Tribe, to accelerate his advancement. Other Foreign Tribe would receive resources only after the three‑eyed one's realm had advanced and been consolidated.

Ye Liuyun took all the Primordial Power from the Storage Ring; he did not claim any other resources, instead giving them directly to the Foreign Tribe.

The Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet, in this battle, absorbed a lot of energy, solidifying the realms they had just broken through.

The leaders of the armies were all sharing combat experiences from Xingkong.

After Ye Liuyun recalled everyone back to the Space World, he released the Hunting Falcon, continuing the chase of the Foreign Tribe.

According to Duan Jiao's memory, they are still far from the Foreign Tribe's stronghold; the route will pass through several Xing Xi, most of which have already been seized by the Foreign Tribe, and the Foreign Tribe has turned them into Forward Outpost Star Systems for defense.

For Ye Liuyun to lead troops to attack the Foreign Tribe's stronghold, he must first capture those star systems.

After learning this, Ye Liuyun also instructed Pei Yong to stockpile as many troops as possible for future battles.

All the various armies were intensifying their cultivation to prepare for upcoming battles. Ye Liuyun had already informed them that many more fights with the Foreign Tribe lay ahead, urging them to be mentally ready.

After traveling for a while, the three‑eyed Foreign Tribe inside the Duplicate Space World finally broke through to the Dominant Ninth. Only then did Ye Liuyun distribute the remaining resources to the other Foreign Tribe, allowing them to advance as well.

With these three Dominant Ninth Foreign Tribe, Ye Liuyun temporarily stopped cultivating other Foreign Tribe, as the remaining resources were insufficient to elevate another.

As for the remaining over twenty thousand blue‑armored Foreign Tribe, Ye Liuyun suddenly thought keeping them for combat still useful, so he kept them temporarily. After all, future opponents will all be Foreign Tribe, and resources won't be lacking. When resources increase later, he'll cultivate a few more Dominant Ninth Foreign Tribe.

This stretch of the journey was relatively quiet, giving Ye Liuyun time to cultivate and raise his own realm. Lately, he hasn't seen much real combat; the opponents are all Foreign Tribe strong ones, and he can only employ Time Power and Divine Soul Power.
