Chapter 2933: Ancient Demon Legion

After Qiong Qi finished the arrangement, he went back to forge weapons and armor for those ancient demons.

These past days, he collected many Demon‑Driving Stones from the various planets within Ye Liuyun's Space World, and used them to forge weapons suitable for the captured ancient demons, as well as armor equipped with protective shields.

Heishan and the Tiger‑Head Half‑Beast King have already started taking turns training them, preparing to have them help in combat.

Thus, Ye Liuyun and his team in this battle primarily target the capture of Unified Realm strongmen, only slaying ancient demons of other realms.

Even the Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet are tasked by Ye Liuyun to assist in capturing Unified Realm ancient demons, rather than directly siphoning their energy.

When Ye Liuyun and his clone encounter a Unified Realm ancient demon, they employ Time Power, then use Divine Soul Power to plant a Slave Seal, subjugating it.

The battles of the others also center on Spiritual Soul Attack, aiming to absorb the ancient demons' Divine Soul Power as much as possible.

They only act when absolutely necessary, always striving to conserve True Essence.

When ancient demons are too numerous, the Purple Qilin intervenes, using Time Power to quickly exterminate a group.

Thus, after this battle they have already captured more than three thousand Unified Realm ancient demons, enough to assemble an Ancient Demon Legion.

After the planet was seized by the Ten Thousand Gods Command, Ye Liuyun and his team ceased further action, entering the Spirit Cat Warship to temporarily distance themselves from the star system, giving everyone ample time to rest and recuperate.

They have already acquired abundant resources and undergone ample refinement, yet have not had time for absorption and advancement.

Qiong Qi, Tong Xin and the others, accompanied by the weapon smith, have not yet finished forging weapons and armor, so they can take this time to cultivate properly before battling again.

Ye Liuyun's Second Clone, having absorbed excessive Divine Soul Power during this period, entered the Soul Secret Realm to compress and refine it.

The Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet can also properly digest the energy they have absorbed these days.

Lei Ming and other Demon‑Qi‑infused Monster Beasts can also use this time to absorb Magic Crystals and the ancient demons' Yuan Dan, thereby advancing their realm and power.

The others are likewise, consolidating and enhancing all aspects of their strength.

Heishan and the Tiger‑Head Half‑Beast King also use this time to intensify their troop training.

Ye Tiandao also hurriedly trains the captives, allowing them to boost their combat strength.

Everyone knows that the farther the battle progresses, the more difficult it becomes; they must continuously enhance their strength to keep fighting.

They all used Time Acceleration within the clone's Space World; after half a month they had rested sufficiently, and all aspects of their strength had increased.

The Second Clone's Divine Soul Power has finished refining, matching Ye Liuyun's main self; Ye Liuyun also, to increase his Sea of Consciousness's defensive capability, gave him the soul bearing the Red Eye.

The Second Clone lacks the Foreign Tribe's three eyes for refinement, so for now can only use this Red Eye to augment its power.

However, its Fire Flame Power, Buddha Light Power and other auxiliary powers are still far insufficient, so in subsequent battles it will only take part halfway, devoting the rest of the time to strengthening its various abilities.

Those three thousand ancient demons have by now been equipped with armor and weapons, and have already mastered basic formations and coordination.

Moreover, their weapons all contain Demon‑Driving Stones, increasing their effectiveness against the Demon Race or the Foreign Tribe.

This Ancient Demon Legion, whose size is like that of giants, exudes dense Demon Qi; from afar it appears as a pitch‑black mass.

The menace they radiate is far stronger than that of the Demon Race's great army or the Giant Demon tribe.

Ye Liuyun also recalled the Nine Nether Prelude, hoping to use the melody to influence them.

But he quickly discovered that the Nine Nether Prelude is very commonplace here; these ancient demons had already mastered it when they were very young.

Thus the Nine Nether Prelude is of no use to them; instead, Lei Ming and other Demon Beasts are at risk of being controlled by the Nine Nether Prelude.

"Fortunately they are accustomed to it; no one thought to employ the Nine Nether Prelude, otherwise Lei Ming would have been controlled!"

Thus, Ye Liuyun promptly taught the Nine Nether Prelude to all Demon Beasts and Demon Cultivators, lest they fall into its trap.

Once everything was prepared, Ye Liuyun piloted the Spirit Cat Warship to return, following the Ten Thousand Gods Command's direction, racing toward a planet.

The Ten Thousand Gods Command, before their landing, again sweeps the whole planet with Golden Light, preventing those ancient demons seeking to return to the Archaic World from taking action.

Then, Ye Liuyun surveyed the situation, unleashed the Ancient Demon Army, directly attacked the Primordial Power guard unit, then deployed a Formation, continuing to capture ancient demons and keep fighting.

With this Ancient Demon Army, their speed in assaulting garrisons and slaying ancient demons has accelerated considerably.

Ye Liuyun and his clones can now concentrate on capturing more ancient demons.

The others also now have more ample rest time before heading out to battle.

Ye Liuyun's group also smoothly had the Ten Thousand Gods Command seize a few more planets, but in the ensuing battle Ye Liuyun faced several ancient demons with powerful souls and one that could wield a Formation, and the ancient demons employed treasures to slay several Unified Realm Martial Cultivators.

Although these ancient demons were ultimately wiped out by Ye Liuyun, the Sealing Demon Tablet, and the Magic Vine, they served as a warning to Ye Liuyun's group that the Ancient Demon Clan here contains all varieties of strong individuals.

Ye Liuyun once more solemnly reminded the crowd, and simultaneously handed out the treasures he could not use to the Ancient Demon Army, allowing them to use them for self‑defense.

The Monster Beasts and the women each also carry at least three treasures.

Even if unused, they can be thrown at foes when danger arises.

The treasures that defend against Spiritual Soul Attack must be worn by every participant in battle.

Aside from himself, even the clones are not exempt.

After the First Clone, they no longer take part in combat, instead being tasked with observing the battle and protecting the women and Monster Beasts.

When the Second Clone fights, it uses a newly reforged Golden Battle Sword.

When forging this sword, besides Demon‑Driving Stones, a large quantity of Golden Light Crystal was added, boosting Buddha Light Power, and after refinement it displayed a radiant golden color.

It was repeatedly tempered by the two flames of yin and yang and thunder, likewise infused with Bloodline Power to give it form.

He input a strand of Divine Sense, beginning cultivation from scratch.

In any case, once his sword intent reaches a certain level, the quality tier of the weapon used makes little difference.

Their subsequent battles continually incurred casualties, especially the human Martial Cultivators, who drew the Ancient Demon Race's attention and became their primary focus; Martial Cultivators below the Unified Realm were nearly all exterminated.

Unified Realm Martial Cultivators are occupied with capturing ancient demons and cannot spare effort to protect them.

When they fight, unlike Ye Liuyun's women and Monster Beasts who can rest at any moment, they suffer the greatest casualties.

But Ye Liuyun and Ye Tiandao are indifferent, since their realms are low and they are expendable.

Yet the Ancient Demon Army keeps increasing, becoming the main fighting force.
