Chapter 2826: Value Demonstration

Chi Lian received orders, entered a Formation, and was instantly teleported into the enemy army.

This is a Teleportation Array that Qiong Qi specially set for her, to let her absorb the opponent's Bloodline Power. The spot where she now stands also has a Defense Array that guarantees she will not be attacked.

Nevertheless, the clone still swung the Heaven Devour from afar, unleashed blade intent, gathered the opposing soldiers' war swords, and slashed around Chi Lian, preventing those soldiers from striking Chi Lian's Defense Array.

The enemy's five‑hundred‑thousand‑strong army is now being assaulted by the activated Formation; some units' formations have collapsed into chaos, and the battlefield is filled with wails.

The clone's blade intent suddenly triggered again, causing many soldiers' swords to fly uncontrollably from their hands, heightening their panic. Tens of thousands of swords then fell together, frightening some soldiers into retreat.

"Cut the retreaters!"

At the Leader's command, their supervising squad also acted, killing the soldiers who tried to retreat and stabilizing the ranks.

"Front troops, first attack that red‑clothed woman in our Formation!" the Leader ordered, and all soldiers immediately charged at her.

Suddenly the sky grew gloomy, a massive black cloud rolled over, crackling with flashes of lightning and thunder.

"Let you see my power!" Feng Qiong at this moment gathered his spirit, vigorously summoning lightning.

Last time it fought Ye Liuyun, that move was countered and it never displayed its strength, so it has been seething, eager to let Ye Liuyun witness its summoned Lightning Strike.

This time, with Ye Liuyun not interfering, its heavenly thunder came down smoothly.

The first bucket‑wide Lightning Strike slammed down, vaporizing a swath of soldiers. Immediately, more and more lightning rained from the sky, blasting the enemy troops in wave after wave; the whole battlefield was suffused with the charred smell of roasted meat.

Some Demon Race members, smelling the odor, couldn't help drooling. Yet they dared not disobey orders, standing silently in place. Some could not hold back, panting heavily and stamping their feet..

"Roar!"

The Tiger‑headed Beast King let out a great roar, causing all Demon Race soldiers to temporarily seal their senses with True Essence. Otherwise, the forthcoming fire would overstimulate them and disrupt their formation.

After sealing their senses, the Demon Race soldiers indeed fell quiet.

Seeing the relentless Lightning Strikes battering them and inflicting heavy losses on his front troops, the Leader immediately ordered a charge, believing that mixing the two armies would render the enemy's Lightning Strikes ineffective.

Moreover, the red‑clothed woman his front troops were attacking not only had a Defense Array protecting her, but also possessed a bizarre effect: anyone who came even slightly close would be sucked dry and turned into a desiccated corpse—truly eerie.

Thus the front of this army again surged toward Ye Liuyun's Demon Race forces.

"Tiandao, intercept the first wave, don't kill them! Prepare the battle chariots!" Ye Liuyun ordered again. Ye Tiandao immediately led the Martial Cultivators of the Nine‑Layer Dominion to spread out, blasting the charging army and exterminating the soldiers piece by piece.

After blasting several groups of enemy soldiers and halting their charge, Ye Tiandao promptly withdrew with the Martial Cultivators.

These Martial Cultivators were equipped with Storage Yuan Stones before the battle, yet they still followed Ye Tiandao's orders to restore True Essence as quickly as possible. Knowing a larger fight lay ahead, they dared not delay and rushed to recover True Essence.

The Demon Race army also positioned several rows of battle chariots and Energy Cannons before the Formation, awaiting the charging soldiers.

Before they could approach, the battle chariots and Energy Cannons opened fire, blasting the advancing soldiers row by row, never allowing them a single step forward.

Whenever a powerful Martial Cultivator attempted to charge, the clone would cleave them mid‑air with a single slash, never permitting the charge.

At this point, the black clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and no more lightning struck. Feng Qiong's assault, like a rain of lightning, had already annihilated tens of thousands of enemies.

At this moment, Chi Lian returned, went straight to Ye Liuyun's side, and first transferred the absorbed Bloodline Power to Ye Liuyun.

She had just absorbed to capacity and could not take any more, so she withdrew.

"All troops, advance!"

Seeing the Lightning Strikes and the red‑clothed woman retreat, the opposing Leader immediately commanded the middle and rear troops to follow. At this point, their hundred‑thousand‑strong front troops were nearly depleted; continuing the attrition would soon exhaust them.

Earlier the middle troops had halted to avoid the Lightning Strikes. Now, upon receiving orders, the twenty‑hundred‑thousand‑strong middle force reformed into a charge, rushing toward Ye Liuyun and his allies.

"Well timed!" Feng Qiong laughed loudly, summoning another fire‑cloud above the army. Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw it clearly, and the ground began to gather earth fire.

"Formation, activate!" Ye Liuyun commanded the Formation to start again.

This time the activated Formation was a confinement array, not a direct‑attack Formation, but it incorporated wind currents.

The enemy soldiers accelerated their assault, feeling that the fire‑cloud overhead was an ill omen. Yet once the Formation engaged, they remained trapped inside.

"Huff, huff, huff…" In the sky, fireballs suddenly rained down one after another.

When those fireballs struck the ground, they not only killed many soldiers outright but also burst apart, engulfing entire units in an endless sea of flame.

After the confinement array engaged, the wind surged, fanning the flames and intensifying the celestial fire. Yet the aerial assault was not over; blue flames erupted from below, appearing cool yet, when scattered by the wind, capable of incinerating even souls. Even soldiers protected by a cold‑element True Essence Body Shield could not extinguish this heavenly fire.

The Ice‑Snow Empire's two‑hundred‑thousand‑strong army, trapped within the array, continuously emitted wails. Inside the Formation lay a sea of fire, its charred odor drifting far away.

"Bombard the Formation!" the opposing Leader instantly ordered the rear troops to strike the Formation, rescuing the middle troops.

Around Ye Liuyun, other people and Monster Beasts appeared at this moment. They had all responded to Chi Lian's request, coming forward to receive Bloodline Power.

Chi Lian feared Ye Liuyun was killing too quickly; if she slowed, there would be nothing left to absorb. So she sent everyone out to swiftly take her Bloodline Power, allowing her to promptly absorb another wave.

The opposing middle troops also attempted self‑rescue; some unburned soldiers gathered, releasing True Essence to counter the flames. Others brandished Defense Artifacts to shield against the fire.

Feng Qiong finally displayed his worth, proud of his masterpiece; his mission was thus fully accomplished. Ye Liuyun, likewise satisfied, retrieved him back to the Space World to prevent him from being slain amid the chaos.

Soon, Chi Lian distributed all the Bloodline Power she had previously absorbed, then again used the Teleportation Array that Qiong Qi had set for her to appear among the rear troops, resuming the absorption of those soldiers' Bloodline Power.
