Chapter 2009: Breaking Out of the Encirclement, Shattering the Battlefield, The Devouring Clan's Purpose

Time passed.

The great war between the Realm-Suppressing Army and the Devouring Clan continued.

Devouring Clan beings surged forth like an endless tide.

On the Realm-Suppressing Army's side, quite a few soldiers were already starting to run out of stamina.

Even though they carried some recovery pills, they could not keep consuming endlessly like this.

More importantly, some Realm-Suppressing Army commanders keenly noticed.

The Devouring Clan had actually gradually begun to form an encirclement.

Intending to trap all the Realm-Suppressing Army within it.

If that truly happened, breaking out would be difficult then.

The Devouring Clan would pile up their numbers to crush the Realm-Suppressing Army to death.

Who knew, afterward even stronger Devouring Clan might come to reap the harvest.

Thinking of this, a Grand Commander also shouted in a loud voice.

"All troops heed the order, disperse and break through separately, fight in small squads, do not fall into the Devouring Clan's encirclement!"

At the Grand Commander's command, the Realm-Suppressing Army's formation began to change, forming one small squad after another, like spearheads, intent on breaking out of the heavy encirclement.

"Do not let the Boundary Sea beings break through!"

A Soldier-rank Devouring Clan let out a long howl, and more Devouring Clan surged over, trying to stop the Realm-Suppressing Army's breakout.

At this point, it was a matter of each displaying their divine abilities.

Jun Xiaoyao had been staying with Squad Seventy-Two.

Lu Xingling's performance had already been very eye-catching, making Jun Xiaoyao very satisfied; he had not taken this follower in vain.

However, even so, after battling for such a long time, even Lu Xingling was somewhat exhausted, her face slightly pale.

And at this moment, even more Devouring Clan surrounded them from the front.

Not only Slave-rank Devouring Clan, but also many Soldier-rank Devouring Clan.

Although their ranks might not be especially high, relying on numbers alone they could wear a crowd to death.

Lu Xingling also gritted her teeth slightly.

Only after truly facing the Devouring Clan did she know just how ferocious and troublesome this branch of the Black Calamity races was.

Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao pointed with his fingers formed as a sword.

Ten million strands of radiance bloomed in his hand, dense and countless, stretching across the sky dome.

Instantly, countless blood mists erupted ahead — countless Devouring Clan were exterminated in an instant.

Jun Xiaoyao merely pointed a finger, and in an instant cleared a path.

This made the other Realm-Suppressing Army squads watch with burning envy.

Jun Xiaoyao, bringing Lu Xingling and the others, began to break out of the heavy encirclement.

And just at this moment, a huge shadow suddenly appeared ahead, and green poison mist gushed forth.

"Hm?"

Jun Xiaoyao's brow furrowed, and he waved his wide sleeve.

The power of Law vast and surging, rushed out, transforming into a gale that swept across.

And within that green poison mist.

A massive shadow finally revealed its form.

It was shockingly a scorpion-like Devouring Clan.

Moreover, the aura it emitted was far stronger than Slave-rank and Soldier-rank.

"General-rank Devouring Clan!"

Seeing this, Lu Xingling and the others' expressions did not look good.

The appearance of a General-rank Devouring Clan meant the Devouring Clan's true forces were converging this way.

In other words, the vast Devouring Clan army before had merely been the vanguard.

They gained a new understanding of the Devouring Clan's number of beings.

And behind this scorpion.

There also appeared a thousand-legged centipede, and Devouring Clan resembling a mantis, all General-rank Devouring Clan.

Actually, Soldier-rank Devouring Clan can already take human form, though they still retain some Devouring Clan features.

But some Devouring Clan prefer to maintain their true bodies.

Because the true body can most perfectly bring out the Devouring Clan's combat power completely.

Taking human form instead slightly restricts their battle strength.

And right now, the appearance of these General-rank Devouring Clan undoubtedly brought even greater pressure to the Realm-Suppressing Army.

General-rank Devouring Clan are comparable to Supreme Seventh Realm cultivators.

Some lower General-rank are Supreme, Yuan Tian Zun level.

While higher General-rank have Divine Venerable, Dao Venerable cultivation.

Looking at the poison-mist-spitting scorpion, thousand-legged centipede, mantis-like Devouring Clan, and so on before him.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression was indifferent.

He pointed a finger again.

Sword light seemed so fast even time stagnated.

In a flash it slashed down toward those General-rank Devouring Clan.

Sizzle—

Those Devouring Clans were instantly wiped out by Jun Xiaoyao.

These General-level Devouring Clans were merely low-level Generals, equivalent only to Supreme and Yuan Tian Zun.

In Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, they were no different from those Slave-level and Soldier-level Devouring Clans.

At the same time, Jun Xiaoyao glanced at the other teams' anxious battlefields.

Jun Xiaoyao pondered briefly, then raised his hand, the Power of the Heaven Above surging.

He unleashed the Supreme Divine Blood, which is the divine ability of the Supreme Bone — the Hand of the Heaven Above!

Instantly, in the depths of the starry sky, an immeasurably vast Dharma hand pressed down horizontally, as if it were a god's palm.

With one strike it shattered the battlefield.

Countless Slave-level and Soldier-level Devouring Clans perished within it.

The Devouring Clans' formation was broken in an instant, scattering in disarray.

This gave the other teams a chance to break through.

"Young Master Yun Xiao..."

Whether it was those Heaven's Chosen or the Realm-Suppressing Army, all cast grateful gazes at Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao alone was practically like a nuclear bomb; every move he made dealt explosive damage to the Devouring Clans.

"Let's go too. We shouldn't stay here long. If more and stronger Devouring Clans surround us later, it'll be troublesome," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Although he alone feared nothing and could come and go freely.

Unless a King-level Devouring Clan appeared, nothing could stop his steps.

But while Jun Xiaoyao could come and go easily himself, protecting Lu Xingling and the others would be very troublesome.

Lu Xingling also nodded slightly, leading Squad Seventy-Two to follow Jun Xiaoyao as they began leaving this chaotic battlefield.

The other squads also broke out of the encirclement, each fighting on their own.

And not long after Jun Xiaoyao and the others left this battlefield.

In the void, a man clad in silver armor suddenly appeared.

Looking closely, one could discover that the silver armor on his body was actually refined from an exoskeleton, inscribed with innate Dao rule runes.

Even stranger, this man possessed four eyes, looking rather eerie and making one's scalp tingle.

His body also emitted the aura of a General-level Devouring Clan.

But he was far stronger than those previous General-level Devouring Clans.

He was a high-level General of the Dao Venerable rank!

"Unexpectedly the Realm-Suppressing Army still made a move. It seems there are formidable people among them; otherwise they couldn't have broken through so simply."

"But no matter what, we cannot let the Realm-Suppressing Army disturb my lord. If she can safely find and refine that thing."

"She might even rival the great Mother Empress..."

Thinking of this, the silver-armored man's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of fanaticism.

The Mother Empress is the supreme existence of the Devouring Clans.

Equivalent to the status of Empress Ba in the Ba Clan.

"Pass down the order: find all these Realm-Suppressing Army squads and exterminate them!" the silver-armored man issued the command.

The entire Devouring Clan army began to move.

Compared to other living beings, the Devouring Clan army is the most efficient.

Because suppression by rank is almost absolute; the lower ranks will unconditionally obey the commands of the higher ranks.

Even if ordered to serve as cannon fodder and go to their deaths, they will completely obey the command without hesitation.

This is also why the Devouring Clan army is so ferocious and terrifying.

A swarm that completely obeys orders and fears no death — just ask who wouldn't be afraid?
