Chapter 3360: Demon Race Mobilization
Yu Xiaofeng's team later encountered fifty‑to‑sixty thousand Demon Race soldiers who had fled from Ye Liuyun's side.
They were intercepted again by black‑armor soldiers; after killing part of them, Black Mountain led the Demon Race soldiers to subdue and recruit them.
Afterwards, the Death Legion withdrew one by one to the camp; Black Mountain and the Tiger Head Beast King divided duties, with Black Mountain handling the surrendered troops and the Tiger Head Beast King continuing to lead the Demon Race army to capture the scattered Demon Race soldiers.
Jiang Yuanhai completed the blockade of the planet, so the Demon Race soldiers that didn't escape could no longer get away; most were captured and taken prisoner by the Tiger Head Beast King.
Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan chased down some fleeing Demon Race flying boats and warships in the starry sky, killing many Demon Race soldiers. However, the Demon Race soldiers now lacked unified command, fleeing in all directions and becoming scattered, so after pursuing a few larger warships they stopped the chase.
When they withdrew, Jiang Yuanhai sealed the starry sky again for a while; after the Tiger Head Beast King had captured most of them, they finally returned to the main camp to rest. Please download the AiYue app for the latest content.
Black Mountain and the River Head Beast King remain the busiest.
Collecting corpses, loot, and reorganizing surrendered troops keeps them extremely busy. Almost all the resources seized on the battlefield go to them.
But their army's numbers have also grown. In this battle alone they captured over two hundred thousand surrendered troops; adding the still‑unorganized and the original Demon Race soldiers brings the total to four hundred thousand Demon Race troops.
Reorganizing these four hundred thousand surrendered troops and sorting and allocating resources is a very time‑consuming task.
Therefore, after Ye Liuyun and the others waited for Jiang Yuanhai and Xiao Heng's armies to rest, they dispatched the Death Legion, letting black‑armor soldiers and Kuailei guard them and clear Demon Race and Demon Cultivator forces on nearby planets, which also serves as training for the Death Legion.
Ye Liuyun also handed all the airborne Soul Sealing Pearls to the black‑armor soldiers, ordering them to fill them with Demon Race and Demon Cultivator souls and bring them back.
As for the Demon Race soldiers eliminated by Black Mountain, Ye Liuyun directly pulled their souls into the Soul Refining Cauldron for refinement, letting those nearby absorb them. The excess Demon Qi they couldn't absorb was distributed to Black Mountain, Black Rock and other Demon Race Leaders.
The Demon Race of the Holy Demon Star System were shocked to learn that the two‑million‑strong Demon Race army had been defeated again.
They hadn't expected that the strong Qi Sang and the two‑million‑strong Demon Race army were both wiped out by Human Martial Cultivators.
Thus the Demon Race began a full‑tribe mobilization, recalling all Demon Race forces abroad. As for the defeated troops, they weren't allowed to stay behind for fear Ye Liuyun would eliminate them, so they were sent back to the Holy Demon Star System on their own.
The Demon Race's ten‑million‑strong army, of which Ye Liuyun's side had already eliminated four million, also needs personnel and equipment replenishment.
Hence they are hurriedly preparing for war, but they don't intend to launch an offensive, lest Ye Liuyun send them heads.
The Soul Refining Cauldron is a treasured relic of the Red Demon Race, so they are eager to reclaim it. However, with fewer strong ones sent, they fear a siege and can only wait patiently for Ye Liuyun to come knocking.
They estimate Ye Liuyun's next stop will be to attack them.
The Demon Race intended to adopt a strategy of waiting in ease, but this gave Ye Liuyun and his people the chance to boost Divine Soul Power.
Whenever Ye Liuyun's Death Legion conquers a planet, the black‑armor soldiers bring back the Soul Sealing Pearls filled with souls for Ye Liuyun and the Leaders to absorb first, enhancing Divine Soul Power.
Because Divine Soul Power is abundant, even Black Mountain and other Demon Race Leaders borrowed a lot of light and forged their own soul sources.
In the end, with too much Demon Qi, many only absorbed Divine Soul Power and ignored Demon Qi. Ye Liuyun simply refined all that Demon Qi, converting it into Buddha Demon Power for his own use.
Women and Monster Beasts saw their Divine Soul Power rise even faster; almost everyone formed at least one soul source and underwent assimilation. The Demon Race's waiting strategy gave them ample time to raise Divine Soul Power.
During this period Ye Liuyun not only merged the second soul sources of his two clones, but also further expanded them. His own two soul sources continuously devoured the Divine Soul Power refined by the Soul Refining Cauldron, strengthening the soul sources.
The souls captured from Demon Race and Demon Cultivators were still insufficient, so he tossed Dragon Souls into the cauldron for refinement and then absorbed them. Since his soul sources had already refined many Dragon Souls before, they now absorb refined Dragon Souls faster than other Demon Race souls.
However, he stopped cultivating more soul sources, and after ensuring he and his clones each had two soul sources, he kept strengthening their power.
Once he reaches the Holy Demon Star System, he will draw one of the clone's soul sources into his own Sea of Consciousness. Four soul sources should be enough to deal with the Demon Race's Divine Soul Power strongmen.
The Death Legion also used this time to train hard, and even Tang Clan disciples and the Monster Beasts and women around Ye Liuyun fought with the Death Legion to their heart's content.
The Sealing Demon Tablet's current strength can already easily suppress the Ninth Layer Summit's Demon Race strongmen.
In this star system, over a hundred planets have been exterminated one by one. Yu Xiaofeng and other Leaders and soldiers have been thoroughly tempered, and they returned to the Second Clone's Space World to accelerate cultivation.
The Death Legion trimmed two‑ten‑thousand lower‑realm soldiers, and Yu Xiaofeng did not replenish them, instead waiting for their realms to rise before selecting from other armies and black‑armor elite soldiers.
Ye Liuyun and his two clones were not polite this time; they reclaimed all the stars the army had captured. Their next battle is to advance toward the Holy Demon Star System, as those planets are of no use here.
After Black Mountain completely reorganized and trained the Demon Race army, he dispatched the abundant resources obtained here to the corresponding Demon Race troops.
He consolidated two hundred thousand mid‑late‑stage Demon Race troops as the main combat force, allocating all the resources they obtained to these soldiers.
The other two hundred thousand, being early‑mid stage, serve as cannon fodder for charges or as defensive forces; Black Mountain gave them no resources, letting them cultivate on their own.
Then the Demon Race army also returned to the First Clone's Space World to accelerate refining the acquired resources and boost strength.
Ye Liuyun followed Jiang Yuanhai and Xiao Heng's fleet, continuing toward the Holy Demon Star System.
On the way he still needs to seize time to boost Divine Soul Power, so he didn't send the army to scout; instead he let the army arrange itself. Their five hundred thousand troops are almost all Ninth Realm soldiers, enough to spot dangers.
Even if they discover threats late, their warships' speed lets them escape the Demon Race army's encirclement.
To be safe, Jiang Yuanhai dispatched hundreds of small flying boats, covering the surrounding area for several days. Several hundred scout flying boats rotate, with a batch sent out every half‑day, sufficient to handle danger.
