Chapter 3920: Exhaustion Contest

In this great battle, Ye Liuyun dealt a crushing defeat to the Evil Worship Legion of the Faction, wounding their Clan Chief, yet it yielded little practical benefit.

After the battle, a tally showed that over three thousand Skeleton Soldiers of Hédào Yīchóng were lost, and half of the Kuailei of Hédào Sānchóng were broken.

He felt a pang of sorrow over his own losses. This was still his greatest loss in the Xingkong.

"Their Trump Card's combat power is truly strong! If we were to unleash it all against the Demon Race, it would probably cripple them!"

Ye Liuyun felt some regret; the Faction had actually taken such a strong force to clash with him. If it were used against the Demon Race, perhaps a decisive victory could be achieved.

"Perhaps the Demon Race also possesses such hidden power!"

After realizing this, Ye Liuyun immediately had Sun Que and his team forge Skeleton Kuailei of Hédào Wǔchóng and Hédào Sānchóng, preparing in advance for the upcoming great battle.

Lei Ming was rather pleased; now the Zhenmo Tower was stocked with evil entities of Cultivation (Hédào Sānchóng and Hédào Sìchóng), and he had also eliminated the Hédào Èrchóng ones together for the duplicate.

The Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine were also the biggest winners; the energy within these strong ones was more abundant, allowing their strength to increase more quickly.

"Let's go, head to their front line and see how they decide,"

Ye Liuyun immediately did not linger, leading the group westward in a sweeping march.

Mo Yuhan, during the retreat, had already truthfully informed the clan's Elders, letting the Elders together determine how to deal with Ye Liuyun.

They were defeated by the Underworld, completely crushed by its power; even gathering the entire clan's strength could not match it, so they accepted the defeat wholeheartedly.

But the power Ye Liuyun displayed was not beyond their reach, so they felt some resentment.

It also anticipated that Ye Liuyun would not stop here, and would continue moving west.

After a discussion, they thought they could first wear down Ye Liuyun, then see how things stand.

If there is hope, they will ask the clan's Sixth Stage of He Dao strongman to exit the realm, then cooperate with the Evil Worship Legion; perhaps they could catch Ye Liuyun off guard.

Mo Yuhan needs to return to the old stronghold to treat injuries. Meanwhile, the Evil Worship Legion received orders to directly regroup on a nearby Xingqiu, reorganize, and wait for an opportunity to strike Ye Liuyun again.

After the Evil Worship Legion regrouped, only a little over twenty thousand remained. All Leaders had fallen in battle, and there were still many wounded. It was also the most disastrous defeat in their history.

The Xing Xi ahead of Ye Liuyun's party, after receiving the Elders' order to sacrifice everything to wear down Ye Liuyun, immediately organized all summonable forces, preparing for a do-or-die battle.

When the duplicate piloted the Flying Boat, it could see the opposite side's situation from afar.

"It seems they want to exhaust us first!"

Ye Liuyun thought it over and decided to conserve his strength; otherwise, if he used up all the Skeleton Soldiers of Hédào Yīchóng, dealing with larger armies later would be troublesome.

"This time we won't use Skeleton Soldiers; let those captured evil entities act, letting them fight each other!"

Thus, this time when they acted again, the main forces were the Sealing Demon Tablet, Magic Vine, and those captured evil entities. Ye Liuyun led the crowd from behind to watch the spectacle.

The duplicate occasionally assisted with fire and Thunder and Lightning Power, while the Monster Beasts occasionally acted to obtain needed resources, never actually deploying Skeleton Soldiers.

The evil entities of Hédào Yīchóng they captured only lost seven or eight in battle, which wasn't a significant loss for them.

After eliminating the evil entities of Dòngtiān Jìngjiè, the Monster Beasts, together with Ye Jin Yuan, began to collect resources from each Xingqiu one by one.

Warships from surrounding Xingqiu came to reinforce, but this time they learned to be clever, actually besieging the Monster Beasts and the women.

As a result, the women each carried protective Skeleton Soldiers, and Lei Ming released all the evil entities from the Zhenmo Tower.

Adding Ye Jin Yuan, Long Nv, and the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon's Cultivation Monster Beasts, by the time the duplicate arrived, the enemy's army had already been scattered by them.

Mainly because their realms were too high, the soldiers could not block their attacks at all.

Besides the Mount-Pushing King's single palm that could blast a swath of soldiers, several Spatial Power winged elites directly used spatial compression and spatial black holes, annihilating a large number of evil entities.

However, this also reminded Ye Liuyun that evil entities could change tactics; if brute force failed, they'd devise other underhanded tricks, so in the future the women would no longer be sent out to adventure.

Anyway, they've fought enough lately; they can cultivate breakthroughs within the Space World, and after reaching Dòngtiān Jìngjiè, emerge to battle and temper themselves.

Ye Jin Yuan's Soul and Physical Body powers were both improving rapidly. He wasn't in a hurry to raise his realm; instead, he devoted the energy absorbed in battle to refining his Soul and Physical Body.

In cultivation, he had already begun forging his own domain. Within his domain's range, opponents' Spatial Power could not manifest. However, the domain's current size is still relatively small, temporarily of little use.

Ye Liuyun called him into subsequent battles as well, letting him absorb as much energy as possible.

The Monster Beasts such as Chi Lian and Zhu Que also benefited. Chi Lian could even distribute pure Bloodline Power to other Monster Beasts each time, allowing everyone to improve together.

Later, Ye Liuyun's group halted in place, delayed by reinforcements arriving from all directions for half a month. He wasn't in a hurry, just watching how long the Faction could be worn down.

The longer the delay, the more Sun Que and other Level‑1 artificers could forge additional Kuailei. To speed up their forging, Ye Liuyun often helped them refine materials.

These evil entity armies and Martial Cultivators were squads of fifty to one hundred thousand, clearly relocated from the East. Ye Liuyun estimated that redeploying them to the battle would also spare the Faction from having to resettle them again.

Thus, both sides entered a stalemate, each exhausting unimportant forces against the other.

The evil entities of Hédào Yīchóng and Hédào Èrchóng they had previously captured were quickly exhausted. The evil entities of Hédào Sānchóng and Hédào Sìchóng were still somewhat limited, but the overly frequent battles also wore them out.

When Ye Liuyun and his group had three hundred Kuailei of Hédào Wǔchóng in hand, and a thousand Kuailei of Hédào Sānchóng, they released all the previously held Kuailei, letting the duplicate and Ye Jin Yuan lead the Skeleton Soldiers into battle.

Just then, the Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine's strength rose another level, requiring them to slumber for a period. Some Monster Beasts also needed to breakthrough their realms, so they could not fight for the time being.

In this way, not only did his nearby combat power and those evil entity strongmen get to rest and improve, but it also could make the Faction think his forces were running low, prompting them to deploy their true strength.

Sure enough, after the Faction noticed this change, it immediately ordered all reinforcement routes to spare no cost in killing the Hédào Yīchóng Skeleton Soldiers.

Ye Liuyun also, based on the refiners' forging speed of Kuailei, continuously dispatched Hédào Yīchóng Skeleton Soldiers outward.

Moreover, he no longer stayed in a single Xing Xi, but gradually swept the surrounding Xing Xi, ensuring the Kuailei had sufficient combat resources.
