Not long after, Ye Yunfei slew over a dozen of the strongest Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts.
The remaining Dark Faction experts required no further intervention from him.
Ye Yunfei sent out his Blood Clan Clone, letting it participate in the battle while simultaneously devouring the Blood Essence left behind by the Earth Immortal experts on the battlefield.
As the amount of devoured Blood Essence increased, the Blood Clan Clone's strength began to slowly rise once more.
“Let the Nine Divine Beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel join the fight as well.
This technique also needs proper tempering.”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then released the nine divine beasts.
Roar… Roar…
Treading upon a giant wheel together, the Nine Divine Beasts rolled forward. Wherever they passed, the Dark Faction forces were crushed into dust in batches. Several Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts tried to charge forward to block them, but were instead collectively charged by the beasts and torn to pieces within moments.
With the addition of the Blood Clan Clone and the Nine Divine Beasts, the Light Faction troops felt even more at ease.
The overall strength of the Dark Faction army stationed in this world wasn’t particularly formidable to begin with.
The 26th Battalion was even weaker, with only a dozen or so Earth Immortal experts in total. Some of them had only forcefully broken through to the Earth Immortal realm not long ago with the Dark Faction’s aid, so their combat prowess was inherently low.
“Commander Ye, many of the 26th Battalion's troops are requesting to surrender. They claim they were forced to betray us back then.
How should we handle them?”
Suddenly, Commander Wan of the 19th Battalion approached Ye Yunfei and spoke.
“If they haven’t killed any of our Light Faction members and were indeed forced to betray us back then, they can be accepted. However, anyone who has killed our Light Faction members, regardless of whether they were forced or not, shall be executed without exception.”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before replying.
“Very well, we’ll follow Commander Ye’s orders.”
Commander Wan nodded and immediately relayed Ye Yunfei’s command.
With Ye Yunfei’s orders in place, the ten Light Faction battalions, especially Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and others, felt even more reassured in slaughtering the enemy.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei stopped his own attacks and released his Soul Power, sensing the entire battlefield. Wherever he found any of their own forces in danger, he would immediately teleport over, blast the enemy apart with a single punch, and resolve the crisis for his own side.
Ye Yunfei understood that, at the appropriate times, he needed to let these Light Faction forces experience battle personally. Only then could they grow through intense combat.
At this point, the outcome of this war held little suspense.
One hour later, the battle concluded. All members of the Dark Faction in this world had been exterminated.
Some members of the 26th Battalion surrendered, while others were slain.
“Alright, clean up the battlefield. Distribute all the spoils equally among everyone, then we must hurry and depart.”
Ye Yunfei declared loudly.
The high-level members of the ten battalions immediately followed Ye Yunfei's command, leading their troops to clear the battlefield and, in the end, distributed all the obtained spoils equally.
“Everyone, next, we need to gather all the other battalions of our Light Faction's thirty-six battalions as quickly as possible.”
Ye Yunfei said to the nine other battalion commanders.
“Yes, we’ll act entirely according to Commander Ye’s wishes.”
All nine commanders nodded.
By now, these nine commanders were utterly impressed by Ye Yunfei.
They all knew that although Ye Yunfei was young, his strength was immense, and he seemed highly experienced in leading troops and warfare. Commanding ten battalions in battle, his direction was orderly and methodical.
“Good. Tell me the spacetime coordinates of the other battalions you know of, and we'll track them down one by one!”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Commander Ye, although our thirty-six battalions are usually scattered across different locations in this spacetime, we used to gather at the headquarters together periodically in the past. Therefore, we are all familiar with each other and know the spacetime coordinates of each battalion. I will now send you all the spacetime coordinates for thirty battalions.”
Commander Wan of the 19th Battalion immediately spoke and sent a wisp of soul information to Ye Yunfei, containing the specific spacetime coordinates for thirty battalions of the Light Faction.
“Good. We’ll search for them battalion by battalion.
The closest one seems to be the 21st Battalion. Alright, we’ll head to the 21st Battalion first.”
Ye Yunfei said. He then teleported all the troops from the ten battalions into the Illusory Shadow Pagoda, took out the Space Teleportation Token, input the spacetime coordinates for the 21st Battalion, and activated it.
With a whoosh, Ye Yunfei departed this world.
Not long after Ye Yunfei left, over a dozen black-robed figures suddenly appeared in this world. They each took out a black pouch and began collecting the Flesh and Blood Essence and Soul Essence left behind in this world.
“It seems most of the casualties in this battle were on our Dark Faction’s side.”
A taller black-robed figure said grimly.
“Yes, you could say most of the dead and injured were our Dark Faction members.
Moreover, have you noticed? The Flesh and Blood Essence and Soul Essence we are collecting on this battlefield seem to contain very little belonging to Earth Immortal-level experts. That’s strange. Dozens of Earth Immortals clearly perished here, so where are their Flesh and Blood Essence and Soul Essence?”
Another black-robed figure also said curiously.
“Let me see what happened.”
The taller black-robed figure thought for a moment and began performing a profound secret art that could retroactively observe spacetime. Before long, illusory scenes continuously appeared.
The dozen black-robed figures gathered to watch.
“So, there was a Blood Clan member devouring the Blood Essence of those Earth Immortals on the battlefield. And there’s another, seemingly a legendary Ghost Cultivator, constantly devouring the soul fragments of those Earth Immortals. No wonder we couldn't collect any Earth Immortal's Flesh and Blood Essence or Soul Essence on this battlefield.”
The dozen black-robed figures quickly saw the actions of Ye Yunfei’s Blood Clan Clone and Huang Shang, speaking angrily in turn.
“Look, that human youth seems to be Ye Yunfei! That Blood Clan expert and the Ghost Cultivator both appear to be under Ye Yunfei’s command!”
One of the black-robed figures pointed at Ye Yunfei in the scenes and exclaimed in shock.
Ye Yunfei’s appearance and Soul Body aura had long been circulated among the Dark Faction’s experts.
“We must report this matter back to the Venerable Ones.
Because that Blood Clan expert and Ghost Cultivator are competing with us for the sustenance!”
One of the black-robed figures said solemnly.
At the same time.
Within a sunless space in the Three Thousand Worlds, the Dark Ancestor sat cross-legged on the ground.
“Ancestor, we are preparing to attack the Light Faction headquarters. By then, the Light Faction will surely play all their trump cards.”
A black-robed figure approached the Dark Ancestor and reported.
“It matters not. I will intervene.
Furthermore, my true form will arrive in this spacetime very soon.
It brings a large number of Earth Immortal experts and troops with it. Go and fight! Spare no cost. It doesn't matter even if all the Earth Immortal experts on our side die; my true form has brought many Earth Immortals.”
The Dark Ancestor said.
