Chapter 3811: Accelerating the Progress

During the subsequent Xingkong voyage, Ye Liuyun and his companions encountered bandits twice.

Ye Liuyun assisted Cui Daoran in a strike once; the other time, Cui Daoran himself, leading the newly formed Wolf Hunting Legion, annihilated the entire bandit troupe.

The Elders of the Meng family were filled with admiration at this record.

Those bandits seemed like entirely different people: not only strictly disciplined, but also fierce and fearless of death, fighting with unparalleled bravery, coordinating seamlessly with each other, and placing absolute trust in their comrades.

By the time they reached their third docking point, the five thousand soldiers selected by Cui Daoran had all donned golden armor. The legion's aura instantly changed, the ferocious bandit spirit now exuding a murderous and bloodthirsty aura.

Moreover, the soldiers were no longer as unruly as the bandits. Ye Liuyun deliberately let them disembark from the Warship to move about, wanting to test their discipline. In the end, not a single one caused trouble, which was even more reassuring than Ye Liuyun himself.

Consequently, they lingered at this docking point for an extra half day, allowing the soldiers to get some fresh air. Ye Liuyun also took everyone out for a big feast. Meng Fei, as the guide, stayed by Ye Liuyun's side the whole time.

She hadn't seen Ye Liuyun for over a month. Ye Liuyun had been cultivating within his Space World, not only enhancing his Soul and Physical Body, but also refining his super‑god‑level Essence Blood to twenty percent.

His Spatial Power was beginning to brush against this world's barrier; the next step would be to explore the space beyond the ninth layer of void. Once he breaks through this barrier, his Spatial Power will surpass that of most Martial Cultivators of the Cave Heaven Realm.

"Young Master Ye, our next docking point is the star system General Qin Peng is attacking!" Meng Fei, after Ye Liuyun's guidance, no longer calls him Ye King but, like a friend, addresses him as Young Master Ye.

In Meng Fei's view, this was a sign that Ye Liuyun was becoming closer to her.

"How's their battle going?" Ye Liuyun asked offhand, knowing there shouldn't be any major issues; otherwise Qin Peng would have contacted him directly.

"The battle is proceeding smoothly; the Fengluan star system is already half‑occupied by them. The main force is currently regrouping," Meng Fei told Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm, I guess their manpower can't keep up!" Ye Liuyun analyzed.

It must be because they've occupied too many planets; the subsequent guarding and administration can't keep up, so they've paused to regroup.

Moreover, of their 500,000‑strong army, only a little over 100,000 are elite Death Legion troops; the remaining soldiers must be trained while fighting, so casualties are likely huge.

Otherwise, given Qin Peng's and Yuan Hao's personalities, they would surely seize the moment to topple that dynasty outright, never giving it a chance to recover.

So he merely contacted Pei Yong to check his progress. Pei Yong set out later than them, leading 200,000 reservists straight to the battlefield, and is expected to arrive half a month after them.

Before they arrive, Qin Peng's side likely won't make any major moves. Ye Liuyun still has an extra half month on the road, allowing Cui Daoran's legion to further hone themselves, proactively seeking bandits to spar with.

Cui Daoran's Wolf Hunting Legion is of a high level, capable of becoming a sharp blade on the battlefield.

Ye Liuyun also took the opportunity to contact Yu Xiaofeng and the two Demon Race armies.

Yu Xiaofeng had already passed through the Poison Witch star system; relying on Metal Puppet and bone wolves, after a dead‑lock in the first battle there, he withdrew immediately.

The Martial Cultivators in the Poison Witch system aren't strong in combat, but excel at using poison and various witchcraft attacks. Their casualty ratio is two to one. Although a continued forced assault might eventually capture the planet, the soldiers' losses would be too great.

There are also a few fifth‑tier Cave Heaven Realm puppets; after being infected with soul poison, their Souls were corroded, turning them into ordinary puppets, drastically reducing their combat flexibility.

Thus Yu Xiaofeng left this planet to Ye Liuyun, to deal with it after he finishes with Qin Peng's side.

On the Demon Race side, they encountered the giant beast star system that Ye Liuyun had previously noted. In the first battle they lost over 50,000, and only by using fire tanks and a hundred Skeleton Soldiers did they manage to suppress those ferocious beasts.

Those giant beasts' size

Enormous— even the ancient Demon Race's massive bodies become dwarfs before them. The ferocious beasts' huge bodies give them a clear strength advantage and make them hard to kill.

Originally, a single bolt from the Demon Race's powerful crossbow could pierce a human, but to kill these ferocious beasts often requires dozens of bolts.

Currently, Heishan is leading the Demon Race army in a war of attrition against the beasts; those hundred Skeleton Soldiers are the battlefield's main force, while the Demon Race army engages only at range, using fire tanks and powerful crossbows for suppression, avoiding close combat.

The Human Race here is sparse, living in tribal societies; their methods of commanding the beasts are simple, lacking sophisticated tactics. Though the beasts are massive, their numbers aren't huge, so after some time they should be able to kill most of them.

After receiving the report, Ye Liuyun thought that continuing this way would waste too many resources and energy; bolts and fire tanks both consume metal and power. Exchanging so many resources for mere meat is far from cost‑effective.

Moreover, the hundred Skeleton Puppets he gave the Demon Race were meant for their survival, not for regular combat.

Thus he decided to rush over and eliminate as many of those giant beasts as possible, preventing the Demon Race from over‑consuming resources in one location. However, he didn't say this in front of Meng Fei, instead continuing to chat casually with the group.

After the meal, they returned to the Flying Boat; Ye Liuyun then had his Clone Puppet assume his appearance, leaving a thousand Skeleton Puppets aboard the Warship.

He, meanwhile, pulled the others into the Space World, obtained coordinates from Heishan, and directly used the Black Tower's teleportation to appear within the Demon Race army.

"Master, after a while we will definitely capture this star system..."

Heishan, the Tiger-headed Beast King, and Heiyan—the three Leaders—were present, their expressions uneasy. Their first battle had run into trouble, unexpectedly requiring Ye Liuyun to rush over, making them feel rather useless.

"Don't misunderstand; I'm not blaming you. These ferocious beasts are just food for you, and spending too long on them isn't cost‑effective. I'm here to speed up your progress."

"Moreover, these beasts are even more useful to me; their Primordial Pills can aid Monster Beasts in cultivation. Your realms were never high to begin with, so achieving this is already commendable!"

Ye Liuyun could only comfort them a bit, lest their morale be affected.

However, as he finished speaking and surveyed the star system, he suddenly realized that this entire system differed from the others.

The planets here are at least three to five times larger than typical ones—a true heavyweight among planets. The flora and fauna are also gigantic, while the tribal humans are about the same size as them.

At that moment, the Ten Thousand Gods Command in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness stirred, as if it were about to whisk Ye Liuyun to one of the planets, reminiscent of how it felt when the ancient Demon Race seized planets.
