Chapter 3363: Million Blockades

The Demon Race legions didn't use firepower war chariots; even the legion that was preparing to be cannon fodder suffered very few casualties, yet they were slaughtered without a trace. They also captured more than twenty thousand higher‑realm demons.

Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan's blockade prevented these demons from breaking through. Even ordinary demons armed only with strong crossbows couldn't be stopped, and firepower war chariots were of no use.

Jiang Yuanhai's main force advanced in a net‑like formation across Xingkong. When they encountered a Flying Boat they used firepower war chariots to blast it apart, then the soldiers formed formations to slay the demons that broke out. However, the incoming demon Flying Boats were so numerous that their advance was relatively slow.

Ye Liuyun and the other demon legions swept the battlefield, cleared the resources, reorganized the captives, and only then sent them back into the first clone's Space World to cultivate.

Then he reunited with Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan, and together they pursued Jiang Yuanhai's main force ahead. After the forces merged at a point, Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan's army swapped places with Jiang Yuanhai's army, the two armies advancing alternately while still sparring with the demons.

Jiang Yuanhai's main force began to conserve its strength, preparing for a showdown with the demon army.

Ye Liuyun's clone was aboard the army's Warship, monitoring the enemy demons' Flying Boats, and occasionally intervened to capture some of the stronger demon souls.

Whenever a strong opponent appeared, he would alert Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan, then let the Monster Beasts engage.

On the way they actually encountered two demon emissaries with powerful Divine Soul Power, and both were taken down by a few Monster Beasts working together.

Each of these Monster Beasts possessed at least one refined powerful soul source, and their Divine Soul Power was also considerable; some had even cultivated two soul sources, making them more than capable of jointly confronting several high‑power demon souls.

With their Divine Soul Power amplified, the Vermilion Bird's Red Pupil Illusion Technique could even control demons with only a single soul source. The Demon Lion and Red Flame's Red Eye, as long as they faced demons lacking a soul source, were invariably effective.

Thus the scattered demon Flying Boats were gradually repelled, retreating to gather around the outer rim of the Sacred Demon Star System, and their numbers kept swelling.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil could see them from far away.

Moreover, his Divine Soul Power has grown, and his Divine Sense can probe distances of five to six days away. Within that range, he can discern events clearly even without using his Golden Pupil.

Therefore, in recent times he hasn't returned to the Space World to accelerate, but instead practices outside, expanding his Divine Sense's range, focusing on probing details to improve his detection ability.

If he only skims the situation without focusing on details, he can still detect up to ten days away.

The Demon Race Clan Chief Aofeng now dispatched an Elder named Yu Lei, leading about thirty percent of the Red Demon Tribe members to infiltrate the demons outside the Sacred Demon Star System, preparing to strike Ye Liuyun amid the chaos.

Currently, the demons outside the Sacred Demon Star System have gathered at least a million, forming a vast black mass; moving within it they can use Demon Qi to mask the color of their scale armor, preventing Ye Liuyun from spotting them.

If Ye Liuyun doesn't act, they can take the opportunity to eliminate some Leaders, clearing obstacles for the forthcoming great war.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil is unaffected by Demon Qi's concealment, so he naturally detected these Red Demon Tribe members clad in red scale armor. However, this batch of Red Demon Tribe varied in realm level, so he surmised that not all of their targets were him.

Nevertheless, before the battle he sent the Monster Beasts ahead, marching with the main force. As long as he appears, he becomes the focal point of demon attention, greatly reducing the chance of Leaders in the army being attacked.

However, in this engagement Ye Liuyun didn't let the soldiers engage the demons up close; instead he had Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan rely on their equipment advantage, maintaining formation and sweeping the demons forward.

Thus the weaker Red Demon Tribe couldn't leverage their Divine Soul Power. Occasionally someone dared to unleash a soul charge, but they were still annihilated by the soldiers working together. Complete content

The demons roared, wailed, and cursed Ye Liuyun—humans who dared not fight—but they paid no heed. Their numbers were already few; after more training, they were all exhausted, and when facing the demon army they could no longer fight.

The demons who originally hoped to spar with Ye Liuyun's group were now utterly hopeless. Lacking unified command, they couldn't break through the firepower war chariot and strong crossbow blockade, and were completely slaughtered in a one‑sided massacre.

Yu Lei's Red Demon Tribe blended into the demon ranks, continuously retreating. Some Red Demons seized the chaos to strike, but a portion of the strong soul sources were intercepted by the Vermilion Bird, which used illusion to seize them and pull them into the Soul Sealing Pearl.

Another part was inexplicably suddenly

dragged into the Soul Sealing Pearl, making them invisible to anyone. In fact, they were captured by two hidden Black Tortoises lurking in the army, using soul sources to snatch the slightly weaker souls that the Vermilion Bird missed.

Other Monster Beasts dealt with weaker soul‑power attacks, capturing souls and striving for stability.

The demons still had many who launched Spiritual Soul Attacks. Especially those hit by firepower war chariots or struck by strong crossbows, who, in their dying moments, would desperately unleash soul attacks on the soldiers.

However, for those with weak Divine Soul Power, the soldiers could handle them themselves.

Xiao Lanbing, Lei Ming, and Long Nv formed a trio, using the Soul Sealing Pearl to help the soldiers fend off many soul attacks. For weaker souls, they were too lazy to pull them into the Soul Sealing Pearl, opting instead to kill them outright or have Lei Ming devour them directly.

Qiong Qi, Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon, and Demon Lion formed a team; Qiong Qi used a Formation to seal the soul, then Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon and Demon Lion devoured it.

Only Bai Hu, Shi Yuan, and Red Flame remained temporarily by Ye Liuyun's side, not venturing out. These two groups were actually dispatched by Ye Liuyun to lure the Red Demon Tribe's attacks.

Their Divine Soul Power was inherently strong, and they possessed some special abilities. As expected, they became the Red Demon Tribe's primary targets. Unfortunately, the souls the Red Demons released were all one‑way trips.

Elder Yu Lei, seeing the dispersed attacks ineffective, decisively changed tactics, continuously roaring, ordering all demons to temporarily cease attacks, unifying command under himself and preparing to launch soul attacks.

"Little brother, it's bad, they're about to launch a coordinated soul attack!" Lei Ming, who understood the demons' roar, immediately informed Ye Liuyun.

"All retreat!" Ye Liuyun instantly summoned all the Monster Beasts back to his side. Qiong Qi immediately began setting up defensive Formations.

Ye Liuyun then deployed the Kuailei and the Black‑Armored Elite Squad. The Kuailei continued to guard the war chariots, while the Black‑Armored Elite, in groups of ten, entered a Defense Array Plate, ready to fend off soul attacks.

Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan also received the notice and immediately had the soldiers take out Formation Plates for defense, also in groups of over ten, entering the Defense Array.

Fortunately, they were all equipped with Defense Array Plates and reacted swiftly. The Defense Array Plate's main function is to block physical assaults; it cannot withstand massive soul onslaughts, but it can defend against individual soul attacks, which is better than nothing.
