Chapter 3357

Ye Liuyun waited until they finished cleaning the battlefield, then immediately gathered the army into the corresponding Space World, rushed to their target Xingqiu, released the Death Legion, and soon captured another Xingqiu, temporarily using it as a foothold.

The Demon Race army then set out en masse, occupied the Xingqiu they had abandoned, and then formulated a new plan to completely surround the Xingqiu where Ye Liuyun was.

"How much longer until you arrive?" Ye Liuyun and Yu Xiaofeng also got in touch with Jiang Yuanhai and the others.

"Two more days!" Jiang Yuanhai confirmed.

"Time is enough! Even just using formations to stall, we can hold them for two days!" Ye Liuyun reassured Yu Xiaofeng, then had Qiong Qi and the other Formation Masters set up the Defense Array at the army's camp.

The Death Legion, Kuailei, and the black-armored soldiers were released and stationed to guard the camp. The Demon Race army was meanwhile reorganizing inside the first clone's Space World. The female soldiers were busy restoring their True Essence.

Ye Liuyun also returned to the clone's Space World to handle the obtained Divine Soul Power.

He had been storing those Divine Soul Powers without directly absorbing them. Now he divided those Divine Soul Powers into two batches, sent them into the Soul Sealing Pearl, condensed them into two slightly weaker soul sources, and handed them to the two clones' soul sources to wrap and assimilate.

These soul sources are not of the same origin as his own Divine Soul Power, so refining them might take longer. Anyway, the clones' soul sources can be refined when not in battle, and during battle they all enter Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, causing no delay.

The Demon Qi carried by those soul sources was all absorbed by the first clone, allowing the first clone to refine a soul source imbued with Demon Qi.

Lei Ming, the nine-headed demon dragon, and the Demon Lion went to Black Mountain to obtain many eliminated Demon Race soldiers, tore out their souls, together with the monster beasts on the battlefield that helped them gather Demon Race souls, all placed them into the Soul Sealing Pearl, refining each into a powerful soul source for themselves.

From then on, they could slowly nurture and assimilate in the Sea of Consciousness; once fully refined, Ye Liuyun would no longer need to worry about their Divine Soul Power.

The monster beasts now get along well, so they first cooperate with the three demon beasts to boost their Divine Soul Power; later, any additional Divine Soul Power absorbed will be distributed to other monster beasts, which will be absorbed by other monster beasts.

Absorbing Divine Soul Power, those three demon beasts absorb only Demon Qi.

"Next time, also capture some Demon Race souls for Lin Feier, so she can also refine a soul source."

Ye Liuyun hasn't forgotten that among his women, Lin Feier is also a demon cultivator, and there are others who cultivate Buddha Demon Power, and they can also use the Soul Sealing Pearl to absorb and refine.

So he freed up some Soul Sealing Pearls, giving them to black-armored elite soldiers with strong Divine Soul Power, so they can help capture more Demon Race soldiers' souls in their next sortie.

Two days later, Jiang Yuanhai and Xiao Heng's 500,000-strong army had already approached this Xing Xi. Ye Liuyun had them wait on standby, to see what the Demon Race army's movements were before deciding further.

He and Yu Xiaofeng both estimated that the Demon Race army's movements this time might not be minor; from what they observed, the remaining 1.5 million-strong Demon Race army was actively preparing for war.

All shields and other defensive weapons capable of resisting the bombardment of firepower war chariots were distributed to each unit of the army.

"If they launch a full-scale assault, how long can we hold?" Yu Xiaofeng asked the Formation Masters and others.

According to everyone's statistics, the formations and all the firepower war chariots could block an uninterrupted assault by 1.5 million Demon Race troops for one day. Moreover, Ye Liuyun would need to cooperate and take action against some Ninth Layer Summit Demon Race experts.

"One day is enough for Jiang Yuanhai and Xiao Heng's armies to launch a sneak attack and create a breach for us. Then, depending on the situation, if we can't hold, we'll retreat." Ye Liuyun suggested.

"Hmm, I just hope this sneak attack can take out more Demon Race troops; otherwise the next battle will still be tough." Yu Xiaofeng wasn't worried the sneak attack would fail; he was worried that a single sneak attack would be ineffective.

"At that time, I'll also bring the female soldiers and black-armored troops to cooperate with them." Ye Liuyun also said proactively.

"Then we'll just hold our position for now. However, the black-armored soldiers must be kept as a last resort; if the situation changes, we can also rely on them to break out of encirclement." Yu Xiaofeng was still cautious.

Ye Liuyun also agreed, and after finishing the discussion, he returned to accelerate his cultivation.

Two days later, the Demon Race army finally finished preparations and marched toward the Xingqiu they were on. This time, as soon as they moved, they advanced in a dispersed formation.

Among them, the Demon Race supreme commander,

leading 500,000 troops straight for their camp, while another million troops, in groups of 100,000 or 200,000, directly moved to encircle them.

Yu Xiaofeng immediately summoned Ye Liuyun to confirm the attack plan with him.

"Let Jiang Yuanhai's 300,000 troops directly attack the 500,000 troops where the Demon Race supreme commander is from the rear. Once that 500,000-strong force falls into chaos, you then lead the female soldiers and monster beasts in a frontal assault."

"Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan's 200,000 troops will sneak attack from our left, targeting one of the 200,000-strong enemy units, with Kuailei providing coordinated flanking strikes. The black-armored soldiers will have their tasks assigned last, depending on the situation."

"No problem, you handle it!" Ye Liuyun had no objection and immediately went to prepare.

In the Xingkong, the fleets led by Xiao Heng and Jiang Yuanhai also all activated, speeding off in different directions.

Their warships are fast, estimated to reach the battlefield in half a day. Ye Liuyun's side also released a Tiger-Head Beast King leading 50,000 Demon Race legion soldiers, using strong crossbows to assist the Death Legion in defense.

The Formation Masters were also inside the main tent, monitoring the formations' status, so they could go out anytime to make repairs.

Inside the army camp, many black-armored soldiers' tents had been set up. The black-armored soldiers stationed there also sent out patrol teams to prevent enemy experts from sneaking attacks.

The Demon Race army of 1.5 million, with rolling Demon Qi, surrounded Ye Liuyun and his forces in the center. Moreover, Ye Liuyun's camp also contained 50,000 Demon Race soldiers, so the Demon Qi in the air formed continuous sheets, making it impossible to discern the specific situation of the two sides with the naked eye from afar.

Only Ye Liuyun and his companions, who have Golden Pupils, can clearly discern how many Demon Race troops are where.

After the Demon Race army was fully in position, they didn't wait long and immediately launched the charge. First, several thousand-strong units raised their shields for a test; the result was that all directions fell into the formations, and within less than a quarter of an hour the entire force was wiped out.

Next, the various armies advanced together, bombarding the formations. Inside Ye Liuyun's camp, the firepower war chariots also began firing, killing some nearby Demon Race soldiers.

The battle between the two sides officially commenced. As the attacking side, the Demon Race army naturally suffered heavier casualties at first. However, the Demon Race supreme commander had resolved to annihilate Ye Liuyun's force; even if half the army died here, it would spare no effort.
