Chapter 2494 - 42: The Tide Turns!

This method had already been used for quite a while on the low-end warriors, because it was now a full month since Jia Yan had passed this new combat method to the Orion’s Arm Army.

During this period, many low-Level warriors had learned Jia Yan’s new style of combat, and quite a few had already produced results.

But it was different for the Dignitaries Level.

There were not many Dignitaries Level beings to begin with, and for Dignitaries Level beings, even if they wanted to switch their Power, it was definitely much harder to convert their Energy compared to ordinary non-Dignitaries Level beings.

Just think about it: back then, those few Stellar Subordinates Jia Yan instructed, each time they converted to the Yin-Yang Dao, they spent so much time, and to completely convert to the Yin-Yang Dao, it took at least many years.

And who would dare say their Talent was bad? Beings who could Cultivate to Stellar Level were simply not related to stupidity in the Universe at all.

Yet they all took that long, so for beings with even worse Talent below them, even if they didn’t have much Ability that needed to be converted because of Cultivation, it would still definitely take quite a bit of time.

These Dignitaries Level beings had long ago learned Jia Yan’s old-version Yin-Yang Dao, and after much consideration, to convert to the new military-use Yin-Yang Dao, they still spent a full half-month, and only in the last few days were they assigned together.

Newly formed as a unit, they immediately received orders from above: they were to immediately follow a fleet and intercept the enemy.

The great enemy invading this patch of Starry Sky was one route among the Sixteen Route Army from the southwestern corner of the Orion Arm, and even then was only a small detachment within that one route’s forces.

But even for a not-so-strong small detachment, there was still a Semi-permanent Star Level among them.

Within the Sixteen Great Alliance Armies, talent was abundant; normally, to assign a Semi-permanent Star Level to a slightly more important post would already cost some effort.

Unlike in the Orion Arm—if there was a Semi-permanent Star Creature that wanted a job, there would immediately be piles of work waiting to be assigned to him.

And this Semi-permanent Star Level had come today to raid a Material Warship fleet inside the Orion Arm Star Field.

This material fleet wasn’t carrying anything extremely important, but if it was lost, it would push the already disadvantaged frontline army on the Orion Arm’s side towards an even more miserable edge.

Moreover, this Semi-permanent Star Level firmly believed that he was sneaking up on just a minor, not particularly powerful fleet, and with his Semi-permanent Star Level strength, he would definitely slaughter his way through.

But something unexpected happened.

This five-person Dignitaries squad was as if they had long known he would come, stubbornly guarding the fleet’s gates.

And this Semi-permanent Star Level just sneered as he attacked all the way forward.

To him, these Dignitaries who seemed to have seen through his movements and were squatting here waiting for him were a bit cute.

Five Dignitaries want to deal with me, a Semi-permanent Star Level? Is it you who are arrogant, or is it your intelligence System that has a problem?

He had absolutely no idea what these cute fellows in the Orion Arm wanted to do.

In any case, if you want to seek death, then... I’ll grant you your wish!

Unfortunately for him, the result was that he was the one "seeking death."

This Semi-permanent Star Level was jointly exterminated by the Dignitaries Level beings under circumstances that even the Dignitaries themselves could hardly believe.

"Awesome, I feel that only this battle just now truly showed the essence of the Yin-Yang Union Strike trick."

"We actually managed to exterminate a Semi-permanent star? Hurry, pinch me, I still kind of can’t believe it."

"Haha, I’ll pinch you then—does it hurt? We really did win. This is a miracle, or rather, I feel that with a miracle like ours, it’s better we talk about it early; if we wait and later other Dignitaries teams elsewhere also exterminate a Semi-permanent Star Level, then we’ll be out of luck and they’ll steal our credit."

"Uh, you also think that a situation like ours isn’t some special case, right? Actually, I think so too. Squads of Dignitaries like us appearing is just a matter of time."

These five Dignitaries Level beings quickly changed course and rushed off to report their medals.

At least as far as they knew, a Dignitaries Level joint move exterminating a big Semi-permanent star—that kind of thing hadn’t happened yet in the Orion’s Arm Army, so if they rushed to submit this great victory result, then they would become the "first." In the future, they might even be recorded in history.

So these few didn’t even want to properly clean up the battlefield here; they just casually tidied up and sped back.

Before long, all the large and small forces of the Orion’s Arm Army, as well as certain armed units directly governed by Orion’s Arm Directly Governed, all received a piece of news.

Certain Respect-Level Beings Inside the Orion Arm had actually been the first to use a joint move to exterminate a Semi-permanent Star Level Strong Ones!

The entire Orion’s Arm Army was in an uproar!

Truly in an uproar.

Sky Level defeating Dignitaries Level was already something of a myth in the Orion Arm, since that meant leaping two Levels to fight an enemy.

But now, Dignitaries exterminating a Semi-permanent Star Level?

This was just too exaggerated. The probability of a single Dignitary exterminating a Semi-permanent Star Level was like you throwing a grain of sand into the Universe, and one year later, on the same day, that grain of sand flies back and smacks you on the head.

That probability was practically impossible.

On the surface it might seem that Sky Level exterminating a Dignitaries Level still sounded more impressive, since that’s skipping two Levels.

But in reality, the Dignitaries Level and Semi-permanent Star Level were completely different; for a Dignitary to exterminate a Semi-permanent Star Level would require heaven-defying Luck plus Talent for it to even be possible.

Yet in the Orion’s Arm Army, a group that seemed utterly ordinary, just five Dignitaries using the Mosquito Patriarch’s joint ultimate move, had exterminated a Semi-permanent Star Level?

Throughout the army, the enthusiasm for Cultivating the military-use Yin-Yang Dao surged once again.

And even more unexpected news came out right after.

Almost at the same time as this squad, with only a difference of a few hours, another Dignitaries Level squad exterminated an enemy Semi-permanent Star Level!

Unfortunately, they were just a tiny bit late and were doomed not to leave their names in the annals of history.

The first time could be chalked up to Luck or all sorts of excuses—after all, a Semi-permanent Star Level was by no means some invincible Strong Ones; maybe due to technological weapons, or maybe because of some astronomical phenomenon, his strength suddenly weakened.

A Semi-permanent Star Level getting killed by a Dignitary—there were plenty of explanations.

But two of them?

The other Semi-permanent Star Level Strong Ones was also exterminated by five Dignitaries joining hands.

This time, the entire Starry Sky was shaken.

Countless armies Inside the Orion Arm began super-hard Cultivation of the Yin-Yang Dao, and some Strong Ones, who originally were unwilling to change the techniques they were Cultivating, were scared by what they saw and hastily turned toward the Yin-Yang Dao as well.

The enemy was even more startled.

Sky Level was still fine; no matter how strong they got, they were just a crowd of little ants.

But a joint strike of Dignitaries Level Strong Ones? That was a bit terrifying.

Dignitaries Level joining forces and actually being able to exterminate a Semi-permanent Star Level existence—this felt like eating shit for the enemy.

Even in the Sixteen Route Combined Army—a massive force where each Allied Army had Star River level existence—a Semi-permanent Star Level existence counted as a mid-to-high tier command role.

Yet the enemy was actually using only Dignitaries Level, and without losing a single one, to exterminate their Semi-permanent Star Level?

This was way too shocking.

"Quick, investigate for me what this Yin Yang Path Co-Operation Dafa actually is."

"It can actually cause a Semi-permanent Star Level Strong Ones to fall to a bunch of Dignitaries—this impact is too great. Yin-Yang Dao, could it be some kind of demonic art?"

Within the Sixteen Route Combined Army, many of the high-levels wore gloomy, vicious expressions.

At the same time, one after another they announced a temporary retreat, shrinking back to their main bases and waiting to move again only after they had figured out the Yin-Yang Dao and its weaknesses.

On the Orion Arm’s side, however, they began to press the advantage, and with each battle, they gradually shifted to sending out soldiers who had Cultivated the joint moves.

The entire Starry Sky was in tumultuous flux; the side that had been the weaker one became the stronger, and the whole feeling of the situation instantly flipped from defense to offense!
