Free Web NovelChapter 2031: Chapter 2029: Decisive Victory
The two Great Demon Venerables of the Demon Race both fell in battle, and their deaths were incredibly frustrating.
Lu Ye quietly looked at the rapidly diminishing firelight. Compared to the bloodied fireworks displayed by his initial 9th Dao Treasure Blood Avatar, this one from Moh Xuan was equally impressive.
"Are you okay?" Su Yuqing looked over with concern. Lu Ye’s aura was a bit weak, undoubtedly due to excessive exertion.
"I’m fine, go assist in the battle!" Lu Ye patted the back of her hand.
Su Yuqing nodded and turned, sweeping towards the nearest battlefield.
Lu Ye then sat down directly, took out a large amount of spirit jade from his storage ring, and activated the power of the Talent Tree to devour and restore himself.
In this battle, he first used the 9th Dao Treasure Blood Avatar to self-destruct and set the stage, then destroyed the remaining four battleships of Zixuan, worked with Chen Xuanhai to slay Bi Chen, and helped Su Yuqing destroy Moh Xuan. Truly, he exerted great effort and distinguished himself.
There probably wouldn’t be anything else needed from him next; he only needed to rest peacefully.
In terms of apparent power, Zixuan was already at an absolute disadvantage. With the deaths of the two Great Demon Venerables, there was no chance for a comeback.
While recovering, he finally had time to observe the battlefield where the Jade Conch allied forces were located.
Upon observation, the battlefield here was a total massacre. If Zixuan’s battalion still had battleship support, the Jade Conch allied forces might find it difficult to devour them, especially that Sun Blaze-class battleship which wasn’t something that Jade Conch’s cultivators could contend with.
But with the battleships destroyed, the Zixuan demon cultivators could only abandon their ships and fight.
The numbers on both sides weren’t very different. Zixuan demon cultivators had slightly more, but not by much. The numbers at the Moon Jade level were equally matched.
If there were no external interference, such a struggle would most likely be a stalemate.
However, the Jade Conch allied forces had Soul Possession by the Soul Race and merfolk secret techniques, enabling them to explode with power far beyond normal.
On the other hand, Zixuan demon cultivators were constantly disturbed by the Song of the Tides, causing them mental turmoil and increasing the disparity.
In the clash between the two armies, the Jade Conch side had a strict formation, advancing and retreating in an orderly fashion, while the Zixuan demon cultivators were in chaos. Once their initial organized defense line was breached, they could no longer resist. freёwebnovel.com
The great war had not gone on long, but by the time Lu Ye looked over, the Zixuan demon cultivators had already lost thirty percent, while the Jade Conch allied forces had divided into multiple groups, moving like giant dragons across the vast battlefield, constantly devouring Zixuan’s living forces.
Already some Zixuan demon cultivators, sensing the unfavorable situation, began to flee. This phenomenon grew more intense over time, but under such circumstances, even if they wanted to escape, it was up to the Jade Conch allied forces to decide.
The overall situation was settled!
Lu Ye withdrew his gaze, paying no more attention. fгeewebnovёl.com
On the battlefield beneath the Sun Blaze, Zixuan’s forces were collapsing disastrously, and the situation at the Sun Blaze level wasn’t any better.
The successive falls of Bi Chen and Moh Xuan had already left the many Demon Venerables shocked and fearful, and as Chen Xuanhai and Su Yuqing moved on to assist, the situation the Demon Venerables struggled to maintain instantly collapsed.
One by one, the Sun Blaze auras were extinguished, and among the eight minor Demon Venerables, six fell within less than one hour.
Only two remained, still fighting like trapped beasts, and in such a situation, even if they had the heart to escape, they no longer had the chance.
They obviously knew this, and so each had a look of ashen despair in their eyes.
This expedition was thought to hold no surprises, as Zixuan had engaged in many such battles, never having failed. Zixuan’s illustrious reputation was built on repeated victories.
No one expected that in this remote corner of the stellar space, Zixuan would suffer such a significant loss with such heavy damage!
Such an occurrence had not happened for countless years.
A few breaths later, accompanied by a scream, one of the last two minor Demon Venerables fell in battle, while the final one, seeing escape was hopeless, sacrificed his demonic pill, his expression resolute.
He undoubtedly intended to take someone down with him, but unfortunately, his strength was limited, and even with the explosion of his demonic pill, he failed.
It was a peculiar coincidence that the one still alive was none other than the Deer Demon Venerable, who had first fought with Lu Ye’s Treasure Blood Avatar.
Among all the attacking Demon Venerables, his strength was the weakest, merely at Sun Blaze mid-stage level, yet somehow, his luck was the best, surviving to the end.
When his demonic pill exploded, the Deer Demon Venerable’s aura fell to the brink of extinction. After all, the demonic pill was the essence of his lifetime of cultivation, and such an explosion was equivalent to him crippling his own cultivation. Although his Sun Blaze mid-stage physical strength remained, he could no longer be considered Sun Blaze.
Moreover, with such significant damage, he likely wouldn’t live much longer unless promptly healed.
Looking at the Deer Demon Venerable, Woo Qimo sighed, "Why bother? We initially planned to spare a Demon Venerable’s life, so he could return to Zixuan and relay the message. Yet, you... are too fierce!"
The Deer Demon Venerable’s face, already pale from the self-destruction of his demonic pill, suddenly became incredibly aghast. He stared wide-eyed at Woo Qimo, eyes brimming with frustration, anger, and regret.
If he had known the Dwarf Race Sun Blaze had such intentions, how could he have self-destructed his demonic pill? Living miserably is better than dying well; it was because he sensed no hope of survival that he took the desperate gamble.
His lips twitched, seemingly wanting to ask something, but unable to open his mouth.
Woo Qimo understood his intention, nodded, and sighed, "I’m not deceiving you. This was indeed our plan all along, after all, someone needs to spread the result of this battle; otherwise, this battle wouldn’t have much significance."
Lu Ye’s original plan was to deliver a painful blow to Zixuan, establish the name of Jade Conch. This is not the All Phenomena Ocean; there is no audience and certainly no one willing to actively declare the result of this battle. So they planned to spare one Sun Blaze life, allowing them to escape back to Zixuan to propagate the outcome. At least let Zixuan know, Jade Conch is not a place they can come whenever they wish.
Who would expect the Deer Demon Venerable to be so resolute.
And upon listening to Woo Qimo’s words, the Deer Demon Venerable’s face turned alternately green and white, spewing a mouthful of blood, his entire visage quickly became pale, his breath rapidly deflated like a leaking balloon.
He clearly couldn’t endure the truth. The self-destruction of his demonic pill had already cost him greatly; such mental shock left him no chance of survival, even if he didn’t wish to die.
"Pitiful..." Woo Qimo quietly regarded him, then suddenly smiled at him, "I lied to you; did you really think there was a chance to live?"
The Deer Demon Venerable was bewildered by him, not knowing which words to believe.
But there was no point in thinking more; his vitality quickly decayed to the extreme, life dissipated.
While Woo Qimo was speaking to the Deer Demon Venerable, other Sun Blaze from the Dwarf Race had already moved out, rapidly entering the final battlefield.
The Zixuan demon cultivator army suffered massive losses. As the Demon Venerables fell one after another, they had no heart for battle anymore and were fleeing in all directions. The Jade Conch allied forces divided their troops to chase, with even Lu Ye joining in.
However, such hunting is ultimately difficult to utterly annihilate, but with the joining of the Dwarf Race Sun Blaze, the situation changed.
In terms of speed, Sun Blaze far exceeds ordinary cultivators; being pursued meant certain death.
This pursuit lasted for half a day; all the invading Zixuan demon cultivators, Moon Jade, or Constellation, fell.
It can be said that, in this battle, Zixuan suffered total annihilation from top to bottom; such results are rare in any stellar space battle where forces and numbers are evenly matched.
After the battle, naturally comes the task of cleaning the battlefield.
Demons’ bodies contain demonic pills, resources useful in many occasions. Although many demon cultivators self-destructed their demonic pills during combat, there were still a large portion that remained, especially those at the Sun Blaze level, each exceedingly valuable.
Also, the storage rings of the Zixuan demon cultivators; they invariably carried some good stuff, which now became the spoils for Jade Conch.
Besides that, there were two slightly damaged Moon Jade-class battleships left.
From the Zixuan fleet, one big and four small battleships, Lu Ye initially used the Treasure Blood Avatar to blow up one, then Giant Blade Slash took down another, the largest was breached by the Sword Qi from his sword gourd, and also slashed apart, leaving only two intact ones.
These are all recoverable resources.
Outside Mount Fangcun, on the central battleship, the Merfolk Race cultivators were resting and recuperating. Although they hadn’t directly joined the battle, the use of their tribal artifact and the singing of Song of the Tides placed a huge burden on them.
Especially Yann Miao, her face pale. Comparatively speaking, the cost of her contributions in this battle far exceeded direct participation, because the number of the Merfolk Race was too few, and the range of their secret techniques was too wide, the number of beneficiaries was too many, particularly the enhancement for the Sun Blaze, all directed by Yann Miao.
The brief conflict nearly drained the foundation of her Sun Blaze...
Qin Yi stood beside Yann Miao, dizzily observing the busy cultivators around her, feeling as if she was in a dream...
Previously, entrusted by Lu Ye, she was stationed within Mount Fangcun, primarily tasked with overseeing the healing cultivators; since when battles erupted, injuries were inevitable, and wounded would return to Mount Fangcun for treatment.
She understood well that Lu Ye arranged this to keep her from exposure, to prevent Zixuan’s resentment and subsequent trouble for the four galaxies.
Staying inside Mount Fangcun, she was indeed worried because of Zixuan’s might. Even though she’d seen numerous Dwarf Race Sun Blaze before, she wasn’t sure if Lu Ye’s side could match them.
During the battle, she and many healing cultivators waited and waited inside Mount Fangcun...
However, not a single person returned for treatment.
This stirred an extremely ominous feeling within Qin Yi; with such circumstances, either the battle hadn’t erupted, so no one was injured, or the fight was so intense, the wounded couldn’t return for treatment, still desperately fighting!
If it were the first case, that wouldn’t matter much, but if it were the second, the result would be dire.
