Chapter 3293: Compelled to Fight

After investigation, Ye Liuyun also discovered that this place not only has Primordial Power infused with Bloodline Power, but also a wealth of other resources for cultivating bloodline, making it a treasure land for bloodline cultivation.

While probing the Burning Blood Star System, he also captured two tribal Martial Cultivators who were hunting to perform Soul Search, learning about the various other cultivation resources here. This way, when later negotiating resource exchanges, he would have a clear idea.

The other resources here are actually not scarce; they lack alchemy, artifact‑refining techniques, and various cultivation methods, yet they refuse to trade with outsiders, guarding these assets carefully for fear of them being taken.

On the central planet of the whole star system, there are many Ninth Layer Summit Martial Cultivator elites, but because their True Essence Quality is poor, no one can break through to the Taixu realm. Strong Bloodline Power alone is useless; other powers are insufficient.

Inspired, Ye Liuyun ordered all artifact refiners to help forge some Metal Puppet. The Kuailei are unaffected by Bloodline Power, giving them a great advantage in this kind of combat.

Ye Liuyun even captured a few fierce beasts to assess the local fierce‑beast situation. He found that the local fierce beasts have far higher intelligence than those elsewhere, though their species are relatively ordinary.

He estimated that with such abundant Bloodline Power, even high‑rank fierce beasts would have already broken through to the Taixu realm via bloodline inheritance.

The remaining beasts likely lack cultivation methods that condense True Essence in their bloodline inheritance, preventing them from breaking through.

The tame fierce beast that Ye Liuyun subdued helped locate a Mineral Vein of Bloodline Crystal Stone. The crystal's quality is quite high, and Ye Liuyun considered it a valuable cultivation resource.

He didn't rush to mine, fearing the local Martial Cultivators' attention, and merely released Monster Beasts for everyone to absorb as much as possible. However, the aura emitted by the Monster Beasts was quickly detected by the local fierce beasts, which sounded a warning, and soon roaring cries echoed through the forest.

Hearing the roars, Ye Liuyun's group realized they were exposed and had to leave immediately. They also set a fire to scorch the locals' aura, then escaped through the void.

The tribe promptly dispatched a squad of Martial Cultivators riding fierce beasts to investigate. Fortunately, Ye Liuyun had burned away the beasts' aura, so they could find nothing, only hearing the beasts mention foreign fierce beasts, which they didn't mind much.

They have no need to use this Bloodline Crystal Stone for cultivation, so they never mine it, yet they don't want outsiders to obtain it, fearing someone will covet their land.

Ye Liuyun is also powerless regarding the situation here.

"They're forcing me to fight a war, huh!"

He figured that acquiring resources without a battle was impossible, so he stopped taking risks and headed back to meet the various armies.

Traveling at his own pace, he moved far faster than a Warship. In short order, he gathered all the armies, saving over three months compared to them marching on their own.

Yu Xiaofeng immediately asked Ye Liuyun how many Kuailei had been forged.

"Only a hundred True‑Grade Ninth‑Rank Kuailei have been rushed out. The True‑Grade Eighth‑Rank Kuailei are more numerous, about eight hundred, equipped with Virtual‑Rank armor and weapons, and can fight up to the Ninth‑Layer Summit," Ye Liuyun told him of the refiners' progress.

Yu Xiaofeng said worriedly, "The numbers are still a bit low. Based on your data, these Kuailei might manage on peripheral planets, but would be insufficient for planets within their own star system."

"Prefer long‑range engagements and use firepower war vehicles more. The remaining Kuailei, the refiners will produce while fighting; the soldiers will boost their Bloodline Power each time they capture a planet, improving as they fight," Ye Liuyun suggested.

"Hmm, that's all we can do. We also need to organize some Martial Cultivators with strong Spatial Power and keep them away from us!" Yu Xiaofeng agreed, noting the soldiers had already adapted to gaining strength while fighting. ωωwcaso21

"I'll send a clone with Leng Qianyu to help," Ye Liuyun added.

"Alright. Deploy all the armies; I'll handle the arrangements," Yu Xiaofeng said without delay, immediately beginning to deploy troops.

Ye Liuyun released all the armies, giving Yu Xiaofeng full authority. He also sent his Second Clone with Leng Qianyu and the strong Spatial Power guards beside him, tasking them to lead an interception squad of Martial Cultivators with strong Spatial Power.

Yu Xiaofeng also drew the Spatial Power soldiers from the Black Armor Elite Corps and the main forces. This team is the key to their victory.

As long as they can keep the opponent at a distance, they are guaranteed to win; but if the locals get close, they will suffer heavier casualties.

The Kuailei were formed into a charge unit, equipped with Virtual‑Rank armor and weapons, led by the First Clone, charging the locals in close combat with Magic Vine and Red Chains.

Ye Liuyun also gave each of the two clones two Golden Dragon Kuailei as a precaution.

Those two Zombie Kuailei were temporarily assigned by Ye Liuyun to Yu Xiaofeng to protect the overall commander from surprise attacks.

Tang Xinyao led the Tang family disciples, Ye Tiandao led a women's battle team, and Luo Yu temporarily followed the Death Legion.

Ye Liuyun, accompanied by Monster Beasts, assisted Yu Xiaofeng in monitoring the battlefield, ready to rescue the main forces in critical moments. caso21

"After seizing a planet, I will transfer the entire world into the Space World, letting the Death Legion hunt for resources themselves. Corpses and fierce beasts will be allocated to the combat units as cultivation resources."

Ye Liuyun and Yu Xiaofeng had already agreed on how to handle the planet.

"Advance!"

After arranging everything, Yu Xiaofeng gave the order, sending all armies aboard Warships toward the Burning Blood Star System. The fleet, comprising hundreds of Warships of various sizes, surged forward majestically.

However, they disembarked from the Warships far from the system and marched in formation to avoid being spotted by the enemy fierce beasts, which might launch a surprise attack before they could line up.

Thus, when the local tribespeople spotted them, all they saw was a massive army, and the front‑line soldiers were all at the Ninth‑Layer Summit.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw clearly that several local tribes had fully gathered, releasing their domesticated fierce beasts in squads, with Martial Cultivators also converging together. It seemed these people were indeed very united.

Before Ye Liuyun's army could approach, all the Martial Cultivators on that planet had already assembled, forming a force of about seventy‑to‑eighty thousand. The number of Ninth‑Layer Summit elites was not huge, only about a thousand combined.

Yet their side's fierce beasts had gathered over two hundred thousand, with more than ten thousand at the First‑Layer realm. This scale was terrifying; without firepower war vehicles, Ye Liuyun's side stood no chance of victory.
