Chapter 2963: Direct Opening of Battle

Ye Liuyun gave the Demon‑Exorcising Corps an order to break out of the encirclement.

But he instructed them not to use firepower war‑vehicles, lest they reveal their strength early and give the Foreign Tribe a chance to prepare.

He also told them not to linger in battle, just to clear a path.

Tang Xinyao was also clever and immediately realized this was an opportunity for them to train.

Because, with the Spirit Cat Warship's speed and invisibility, they could slip through unnoticed, and the Foreign Tribe might not detect them.

So Tang Xinyao immediately dispatched three Spirit Cat Warships to forge ahead, leading Ye Liuyun's group outward in a charge.

When they occasionally encountered Foreign Tribe patrols, the Spirit Cat Warships bombarded them to death.

At first everything went smoothly, but just as they were about to break through the Foreign Tribe's defensive line, they ran into an interception by a 50,000‑strong Foreign Tribe army.

These Foreign Tribe units were not very strong; they had already formed ranks in the Starry Sky, waiting for them to arrive.

Tang Xinyao also felt the chance had come, and immediately led the Demon‑Exorcising Corps into battle, letting the Spirit Cat Warships provide rear cover while they charged forward first.

"Fu Yang, you take people to monitor the Foreign Tribe's altar on that star planet, to prevent them from teleporting a large army.

Also find out the troop situation on that planet, and see if we can strike them down directly."

Ye Liuyun immediately informed Fu Yang to scout the nearby Foreign Tribe planet.

Fu Yang promptly took a few Foreign Tribe members skilled in invisibility to the Foreign Tribe planet to gather intelligence,

At this moment, Tang Xinyao's corps launched a combined strike, blasting a large swath of the opposing Foreign Tribe army.

"The combined attack of Buddha Light Power is quite formidable!"

The other Leaders, seeing the impressive effect, couldn't help but praise it.

They also remarked that if the Demon‑Exorcising Corps kept fighting like this, more Foreign Tribe reinforcements would soon arrive, and they might become surrounded here.

Ye Liuyun laughed and said, "No problem, let them train a bit! If an opportunity arises, we'll also use it to tear a gap in the Foreign Tribe's defenses here and launch an offensive against them."

The other Leaders also thought that, having already reached the outermost Foreign Tribe defense line, opening battle directly was fine.

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered all the Monster Beasts and the women to prepare for combat.

Now the Foreign Tribe's cultivation levels are not high, making it suitable for them to practice.

When the Foreign Tribe becomes stronger later, he won't dare let them venture out again.

Ye Tiandao, after acceleration and refinement in the Duplicate Space World, emerged with his realm already advanced to Unified First Rank.

Ye Liuyun was startled, scanned her True Essence with his Golden Pupil, found it fairly solid, and then slightly relaxed.

He reminded her to refine diligently, then returned her to the Spearhead Unit for preparation.

Long Nv, Lei Ming, and the Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon also returned from the Dragon Clan.

Long Nv's realm was even more astonishing, having risen to Unified Second Rank; Lei Ming and the Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon had both progressed to Unified First Rank (late stage).

Ye Liuyun also conducted a thorough check and, after finding their realms stable, felt at ease.

Bai Hu, Shi Yuan, the three Xuanwu, Zhu Que, and Demon Lion—all these Monster Beasts—had also broken through to Unified First Rank.

During this period, the Tiger‑Head Beast King devoured many ancient demon corpses, continuously raising his realm to Unified First Rank.

Among the Monster Beasts beside Ye Liuyun, only Xiao Lanbing and Qiong Qi remain at Dominion Ninth Rank.

Xiao Lanbing's realm is also about to breakthrough.

Liang Xue and Feng Hong Xiu should soon breakthrough to Dominion Eighth Rank.

Wu Qingcheng's group had reached Dominion Seventh Rank; A Xing and the others, whose realms were previously lower, trained harder and progressed faster, now reaching Dominion Sixth Rank.

Ye Liuyun, seeing that most of these people's realms had advanced, felt glad for them, especially the Monster Beasts, whose Bloodline Power must have been unleashed, accelerating their later progress.

Thus he thought Xuan Yuan Ling should provide the women with more resources to boost Bloodline Power, so they too could advance faster.

The Monster Beasts and the women all prepared for participation in the battle.

Ye Liuyun's two duplicates each donned an Invisibility Cloak and went into the Starry Sky to scout.

The opposing Foreign Tribe army was also shaken by this Golden Light attack.

They could all sense that this Golden Light was their nemesis.

Consequently, the Leader of that Foreign Tribe army immediately began seeking aid and reported the situation to the Foreign Tribe Elder Council.

These Foreign Tribe armies had already become familiar with Ye Liuyun's Spirit Cat Warships and had been on guard against their counter‑attacks.

So upon seeing those Spirit Cat Warships, they immediately realized the opposing force was Ye Liuyun's army.

The Foreign Tribe promptly mobilized all nearby troops they could, intending to test Ye Liuyun's forces and prepare adequate countermeasures.

Ye Liuyun also had Yu Xiaofeng inform the main army to ready for battle.

In this first battle, he would certainly not reveal overwhelming strength, lest the Foreign Tribe prepare.

After glancing at the front‑line situation, he knew Tang Xinyao's side would surely win, so he ceased further attention.

He simply sent the women over to spar with those Foreign Tribe members, assisting Tang Xinyao in swiftly eliminating them.

Information soon arrived from Fu Yang, reporting that a Foreign Tribe army had teleported onto that planet, but its defensive forces were few, making it attackable.

Both duplicates also discovered that the surrounding Foreign Tribe planets had all become active.

Ye Liuyun immediately relayed all this information to Yu Xiaofeng, asking him to devise an action plan.

Finally, Yu Xiaofeng drafted a deployment plan to seize the five nearby planets.

Although conservative, the plan required no Spearhead Unit and would not expose too much strength.

Ye Liuyun had no objection; he just told him to finalize it and execute promptly, lest the Foreign Tribe send an even stronger army.

Thus Yu Xiaofeng immediately launched warships, dispatching the five Leaders Qin Peng, Yuan Hao, Tie Jun, Man Feng, and Pei Yong with Spirit Cat Warships to rush toward the five surrounding planets.

Yu Xiaofeng himself stayed at the base with a guard unit, ready to reinforce them at any time.

Each of the six men commanded a hundred thousand troops, perfectly suited to attack the five planets, with an additional mobile reserve team.

Ye Liuyun, seeing that Tie Jun could now lead a large army alone, felt glad for him.

He also knew Tie Jun's realm had caught up, surely thanks to considerable effort.

Although he has only just reached the Sixfold Sovereign realm, his original realm was low; being able to catch up to this level is already quite good.

Moreover, Yu Xiaofeng and Qin Peng have surely taken good care of him as well.

However, this only shows that Iron Army is that kind of material; otherwise Yu Xiaofeng and Qin Peng wouldn't have bothered to look after him.

Xiao Yunfang and Dream Clear Sound are now his women; Ye Liuyun also doesn't plan to let them go adventuring in the big army anymore.

Simply let them swap positions with Pei Yong, let Pei Yong go into battle, and let the two of them help with reserving troops; normally they would just fight and train together with the women.
