Chapter 3198: Mighty Legion

Xiao Heng and Cui Daoran's warships, Flying Boats and other equipment also yielded a lot, so building their own army is no problem at all; the Death Legion and the black‑armored elite troops are even more plentiful.

Currently, all refiners within Ye Liuyun's Space World are busy helping the Death Legion improve armor; after several great battles, the weapons and armor they have seized are already sufficient.

The Death Legion's weapons have basically all been replaced, all seized from various Imperial Guard forces, and their grade is true ninth‑grade. However, the armor has not yet been fully reworked.

Tong Xin and the ancient fire ancestor, among other great refiners, are researching how to improve firepower battle chariots.

Jiang Yuntian still has two poison soul flowers in his hand; Ye Liuyun gave them to Lei Ming and Long Nv. The poison soul flower, defensive shield, and attacking spear from Jiang Yuntian's Sea of Consciousness were all given to Bai Hu. Not a single resource was left for Jiang Yuntian.

Now Jiang Yuntian only has a Transmission Talisman that can contact the Fire Seal King and a Formation Plate for receiving resources.

This makes him feel like crying without tears; he's never been this poor before.

He is also very curious about Ye Liuyun's method of controlling him, not knowing when Ye Liuyun planted this special Slave Seal on him.

He remembers that he clearly entered the great tent to activate the Teleportation Array, but suddenly he was controlled by Ye Liuyun.

However, Ye Liuyun used the Slave Seal to tightly control him, not letting him think too much, only telling him he fell under his illusion.

He also made him help devise plans and demand ransom from the Fire Seal King. The resource list Jiang Yuntian compiled accounts for almost one‑tenth of all resources of the Fire Seal Dynasty.

Ye Liuyun handed all matters of negotiating with the Fire Seal King, confirming handovers, etc., directly to Jiang Yuntian, letting the father‑son pair study them. Under Ye Liuyun's Slave Seal control, Jiang Yuntian shows no intention of betraying him, constantly seeking ways to secure benefits for Ye Liuyun.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun, accompanied by two clones, returned to the Space World to cultivate.

The black‑armored elite troops, the Death Legion, and the two Demon Race armies were all taken by him into the Space World, letting them return to cultivate.

The Vermilion Bird's realm first broke through to Guiyi Seventh Layer. He participated in the recent several great battles, absorbing a large amount of Yin Soul, and finally his realm broke through.

Chi Lian first gave the absorbed Bloodline Power to Ye Liuyun,

He was not in a hurry to breakthrough. Other monster beasts still lack sufficient True Essence Quality, so they have not broken through their realms.

Tang Xinyao and others have broken through to Guiyi Sixth Layer. Although the breakthrough was a bit slower, their Soul, Bloodline Power, and Physical Body have all improved considerably recently, and their strength has not lagged.

The women who joined the battle: Ye Tiandao's realm broke through to Guiyi Sixth Layer, Feng Wanru, A Xing and others broke through to Guiyi Fourth Layer, while the others have not improved yet.

They also have improvements in Soul, Bloodline Power, Physical Body and all aspects, and even often seek soldiers strong in Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power to spar with.

Their weapons, aside from some who have cultivated their own destined battle troops, have all been replaced with void‑grade weapons.

So now these women's actual combat power can contend with Guiyi Sixth Layer Martial Cultivators; even against Guiyi Seventh Layer Martial Cultivators, they can hold off for a while using weapons and treasures.

Subsequently, after the Death Legion and Demon Race armies obtained massive resources, their realms began a new wave of advancement. The two Demon Race armies, as long as resources are abundant, see their realms rise, and overall they each advanced one realm.

Most soldiers of the Death Legion have already broken through to the Guiyi realm. Yu Xiaofeng and others, relying on abundant high‑end resources, are close to advancing to Guiyi Third Layer. Ye Liuyun, fearing their realms are unstable, had Xiao Heng allocate many Guiyi Third Layer Reinforcement Troops for them to train with.

After reorganization and training, Cui Daoran and Xiao Heng stabilized the army at 100,000 men: 20,000 at Guiyi Ninth Layer, 70,000 at Guiyi Eighth Layer, and 10,000 at Guiyi Seventh Layer. The other Reinforcement Troops became their sparring partners and were completely expended.

Cui Daoran's ferocious bandit corps was reduced to 40,000. The Guiyi Ninth Layer personnel he had originally were under 30,000; this time the allocated captives added over 30,000, but his training was so harsh that he only accepted just over 10,000, and the rest died in combat training.

Yet this ferocious bandit corps truly developed a murderous aura; those Imperial Guard soldiers who originally had weaker combat ability, after becoming bandits, turned into fearless warriors, like ferocious demons.

Ye Liuyun, seeing their good training, still gave them

distributed armor so they wouldn't suffer excessive fearless casualties. Ye Liuyun has recently eliminated many Dynasty Armies, so equipment is abundant. True ninth‑grade armor and weapons can be supplied to them in plenty.

Cui Daoran also accepted the armor, but each bandit's armor was painted with various colored patterns to distinguish them from the Fire Seal Dynasty's armor.

Xiao Heng, inspired by them, had the soldiers dye the shoulder parts of their armor uniformly red to differentiate from the Dynasty's large army.

After the reorganization and training of these two armies concluded, both were taken into the Space World to return for cultivation and recovery.

Outside, only a few dozen Guiyi Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators remain. These Martial Cultivators are those Ye Liuyun deems unsuitable for joining the black‑armored elite troops nor for keeping for training, yet they are relatively strong Dynasty elites.

Ye Liuyun left these people outside to guard against Dynasty ambushes while also watching Jiang Yuntian. Jiang Yuntian is also hiding in the previous great tent, waiting for the Fire Seal King to deliver the ransom.

Jiang Yuntian also witnessed the full strength of Ye Liuyun's great army and sighed at how rapidly Ye Liuyun's power has grown.

But after Ye Liuyun discovered this, he immediately erased all the memories Jiang Yuntian had seen, preventing him from retaining any important information.

Ye Liuyun also let Chi Lian absorb a lot of his Bloodline Power, leaving his Bloodline Power at less than half of what it was before.

It's a pity his Bloodline Power, originally stronger than Ye Liuyun's, never got a chance to duel Ye Liuyun. Even if he returns with abundant resources, restoring his Bloodline Power would still take at least two to three years.

He also explained to Jiang Yuntian: "Consider this the price you must pay for acting against me. The Dynasty uses resources to ransom you back, that's the price they must pay. These two should not be conflated. I will not let you leave unscathed, lest you later dare plot against me again."

Jiang Yuntian now has no desire to resist; under the Slave Seal's control he is completely submissive, doing whatever Ye Liuyun says.

When Ye Liuyun has exhausted all resources for cultivating Bloodline Power and his army's strength has risen, they finally awaited the Dynasty's resource‑delivering contingent.

Among them, the Dynasty sent nearly a thousand elite warriors, and the Imperial Guard numbered three hundred thousand.
