Kill!
At this moment, the Dark Faction's forces were already charging forward from all directions.
"Face the enemy!"
Gritting their teeth, the commanders of the seven battalions roared simultaneously.
Boom!
In the next instant, both sides' troops collided like two vast and majestic cosmic torrents. The energy released from the impact spread out in all directions, causing the endless Chaotic Void to roil and boil.
A fierce battle had officially begun!
It could be said that since the start of the World-Destroying War, this conflict was by far the largest-scale battle yet.
Both sides' troops charged forward with all their might. Every minute, every second, beings on both sides were slain. A massive number of corpses, severed limbs, and chunks of flesh fell like dumplings dropping into a pot.
The sounds of killing cries, energy explosions, enraged roars, and agonizing screams…
A myriad of terrifying noises continuously erupted, echoing across tens of thousands of miles of the void.
The killing intent emanating from the entire battlefield transformed into mighty gales of void wind, horrifyingly powerful.
"Slaughter the Earth Immortal-level experts of the Light Faction first! As long as we kill those Earth Immortals, the rest of the Light Faction's forces won't be worth mentioning!"
The Earth Immortal leading the Dark Faction forces shouted.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts transformed into streaks of shadow, darting forward across the battlefield as they surrounded and attacked the Light Faction Earth Immortals.
The Dark Faction had over two hundred Earth Immortal experts! Their numbers naturally gave them overwhelming superiority!
"There's no hope of victory for us in this battle. Relay the order! Tell everyone to seize any and every opportunity. Escape if possible and preserve our strength!"
Commander Wan of the 19th Battalion looked at the battlefield situation before him, sighed, then transmitted a Sound Transmission to the commanders of several other battalions.
"It must be so.
The Dark Faction forces came prepared, with numerous experts and vast numbers. We truly are no match.
Pass the order! Let everyone escape if they can. Don't make meaningless sacrifices."
The other battalion commanders all agreed.
Although this battle had just begun, everyone could see that the Light Faction had no chance of winning this massive confrontation!
These commanders also knew that issuing such an order would inevitably affect their own side's morale, further weakening their overall combat power. But given the circumstances, there was no time to consider that anymore. For the Light Faction in this war, the number of troops who could survive was paramount.
It must be noted that a total of seven battalions had gathered here. Adding the 26th Battalion made eight battalions. If all eight battalions were annihilated, it would be a massive loss and blow to the Light Faction!
"Brother Liu, I'll cover your escape!"
In the midst of the battlefield, a Light Faction Earth Immortal expert, covered in bloodstains and brandishing dual swords, roared as he charged in front of another Earth Immortal expert. Fiery flames began to erupt from his body.
He was burning his Origin Essence Blood!
The energy released by an Earth Immortal burning his Origin Essence Blood was indeed terrifying. He was already severely injured. After burning his Origin Essence Blood, his combat power immediately returned to its peak state, just as it was before his injuries.
"Brother Cai, don't!
You're already injured! I should be the one covering you!
I'll protect you now! Let's fight our way out together!"
The Light Faction Earth Immortal surnamed Liu saw his friend engulfed in flames and could not help but exclaim in shock.
"Brother Liu, I've sustained a mortal injury. It's extremely difficult for me to escape. I'll exhaust my last bit of energy to cover your charge out! It's worthy of our friendship!"
The Earth Immortal surnamed Cai shouted.
"Hehe…
Neither of you will escape!"
Suddenly, four or five Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts killed their way from different directions simultaneously, surrounding these two Light Faction Earth Immortals and launching an attack.
"Master! How are you?"
Elsewhere on the battlefield, a Light Faction Earth Immortal was besieged by two Dark Faction experts. After a brief, fierce battle, his body was shattered, turning into a mist of blood. Seeing this, a middle-aged man in the distance charged over, throwing all caution to the wind.
"My good disciple, don't worry about me! Find a way to escape this battlefield! Strive to continue the inheritance of our lineage! Do not let it end!"
The Soul Body of the Earth Immortal whose physical body was shattered appeared, calling out to the middle-aged man. His voice sounded extremely weak.
"Go die!"
A Dark Faction Earth Immortal expert nearby brandished a pitch-black scythe and slashed over fiercely, directly shattering the Light Faction expert's Soul Body, annihilating both his form and spirit.
"Master!
You damned Dark Faction scum! I'll fight you to the death!"
Watching this, the middle-aged man's eyes were nearly splitting with rage. He roared with all his might.
Similar scenes were constantly playing out across the battlefield.
The brutality of war was vividly depicted!
Many Light Faction members, disregarding their own lives and placing death outside their concerns, were single-mindedly focused on killing the enemy.
"Haha…
I've already killed ten Dark Faction fighters of the same cultivation rank as me! That's enough to break even!
If I kill more now, every additional one is pure profit!
You lot, all of you can die!"
A tall and sturdy Light Faction member, built like an iron tower, swung two giant axes as he moved about with fierce killing intent. Wherever he went, he slew Dark Faction fighter after Dark Faction fighter. However, his large frame was also covered in wounds, blood cascading down. If he continued fighting, he likely wouldn't hold out for much longer.
As time passed, the Light Faction began to gradually fall into a disadvantage. After all, their overall strength was much weaker than that of the Dark Faction.
Kill!
Just as the battle was at its fiercest, troops of the 26th Battalion rushed out from their base, charging directly into the heart of the battlefield and clashing with the Dark Faction forces.
"The 26th Battalion is here!"
At this moment, the other battalions were struggling bitterly. Seeing the 26th Battalion troops join the fight, their spirits lifted.
After all, this meant their side's strength had increased somewhat.
"Commander Cang! The Dark Faction came prepared, with strong soldiers and powerful horses. Their overall strength is formidable. The situation is unfavorable for us.
We shouldn't prolong the fight. Let's unite the forces of all our battalions and work together to find an opportunity and fight our way out!"
The commanders of the other battalions sent one Sound Transmission after another to Commander Cang.
"Everyone, I've failed you. The 26th Battalion has failed you."
Hearing their Sound Transmissions, Commander Cang's expression turned complicated. He sighed and replied.
"Commander Cang, don't say such things. Our Thirty-Six Battalions of the Light Faction share the same breath and branches; we are truly one. When your 26th Battalion was in trouble, of course our battalions would come to aid.
We just didn't expect the Dark Faction to be so cunning, having laid such a heavy ambush beforehand. This is a trap.
But you can't blame the 26th Battalion for that.
Commander Cang, now isn't the time for polite talk! Let's unite the strength of our eight battalions and fight our way out of this encirclement!"
One commander transmitted in reply.
"Commander Cang, now take your 26th Battalion and secretly circle around to the rear of those Light Faction troops. Wait for my command and launch a surprise attack from behind them!"
Just at that moment, a Sound Transmission suddenly rang within Commander Cang's Soul Sea.
Hearing it, Commander Cang's body shuddered involuntarily, and a pained expression appeared on his face.
"Commander Cang, I hope you will cooperate well. Otherwise, your family members, your clansmen, your sect, your friends… they will all die because of you.
You wouldn't want to see such an outcome, would you?"
The voice echoed again within Commander Cang's Soul Sea.
"The core base of the 26th Battalion should be just up ahead. I hope the 26th Battalion is safe."
Meanwhile, within the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, Ye Yunfei was getting closer and closer to the core base of the 26th Battalion.
"Everyone, we're about to reach our destination. Prepare for a good fight!"
Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to the members of his three battalions.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's transmission, the members of the three battalions roused their spirits, itching for battle and ready to fight!
At the same time, within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, in the space where the Dark Ancestor resided…
"So, Ye Yunfei has already returned to this Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and resumed his position as commander of the 35th Battalion.
Then, that mysterious figure who killed those Resource Collection Envoys last time must have been Ye Yunfei.
Very well. Transmit my order. Immediately dispatch experts to locate and pinpoint Ye Yunfei's position. Capture him and bring him back."
Holding a Message Jade Slip in his hand, the Dark Ancestor slowly spoke.
