The Great Dragon Array coiled up and transformed into a giant meat grinder. Inside the great array, a rain of blood and broken corpses flew about.
Numerous gaps opened up as the Demon Race’s army was released from the Great Array and handed over to the army behind them.
Of the 55 Star Boundary armies, only half of them were in charge of the Great Dragon Array, so what was the other half doing? Naturally, they surrounded the Great Dragon Array and waited for the enemy to rush out before attacking! This was something the Seven Mist Sea had planned long ago.
One by one, the Demon Race army emerged from the Great Dragon Array. The pressure on the Great Dragon Array was greatly reduced, and the giant dragon that were on the verge of collapse gradually stabilized. The giant dragon and the many armies guarding outside began slaughtering the invading Demon Race in an efficient and safe manner.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time the Star Boundary’s great army and the Demon Territory's had truly collided.
Twenty years ago, when the Two World Passage opened for the first time, everyone in the Star Boundary was caught off guard and their homeland was invaded. Many cultivators from the various great Sects of the Western Region collapsed at the first contact, losing a large portion of their territory. Afterwards, although the Star Boundary quickly tried to stop the effective resistance, it was difficult for them to resist the Demon Race’s morale and were forced to retreat. At the most critical moment, the entire Western Region was almost completely lost, and the Star Boundary’s army retreated all the way to the place where the Western Region and the Southern Region met.
If it weren’t for the importance of the Eternal Heaven Continent Battle and the fact that the Demon Saints had summoned all the Half-Saints back to the Demon Territory, it would have been difficult for the Star Boundary to catch their breath. Later, Yang Kai returned from the Demon Territory and sealed the passage between the two worlds, causing the remaining Demon Race forces in the Star Boundary to become isolated and helpless.
After more than twenty years, the passage between the two worlds opened again, and the Demon Race army swarmed in.
Although the Star Boundary was not completely prepared, this was not the first time they had been caught off guard. The 55 Star Boundary Army had gathered here, almost half of the Star Boundary's forces colliding with the other invaders…
The Demon Race suffered heavy casualties, and suffered great losses. Although there was still a steady stream of Demon Race forces coming out from the black hole to replenish their lost forces, it could not conceal the truth of the Demon Race’s decline.
Under the dual support of the Life Chains and Bloodlust Technique, each cultivator was able to display a greater strength than usual. The giant dragon constantly circled the two Worlds Passage, and every time they did so, countless Demon Race cultivators would be ground to dust. Once Li Wuyi discovered that the Spirit Array had exceeded its capacity, he would order his guards to wave their flags and open a gap to reduce the pressure.
At this moment, the Star Boundary’s various armies were closely linked together, forming a single entity as they began slaughtering the alien races surrounded by Demonic Qi.
The situation was extremely good. If the battle continued like this, no matter how many Demons came from the Two World Passage, they would all be wiped out.
Inside the Great Array, all the cultivators eyes were filled with bloodlust and excitement.
Li Wuyi, on the other hand, felt a faint sense of unease. The Demon Race weren’t fools, so how could they remain so fearless even though they knew the situation wasn’t good? Although they were brave and fearless, they wouldn’t make such meaningless sacrifices.
What’s more, this time it was the Demon Territory that had taken the initiative to open the gate between the two worlds. Ten Demon Saints had come to the Star Boundary, so they must have some kind of scheme.
However, Li Wuyi couldn’t figure out what the Demon Saints were plotting. Only the Great Emperors could stop the Demon Saints schemes. On this battlefield, he could only lead the great armies to kill more enemies and exterminate more Demon Race to lay a solid foundation for the victory of the war between the two worlds.
Shaking his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his mind, Li Wuyi’s heart was as calm as still water as he stood in the middle of the great array, taking charge of the overall situation.
In the southeast of the Two Worlds Passage, the Sixth Stem Army was defending, the three hundred thousand strong army was in full force, their morale high as they rubbed their fists and waited solemnly.
Yao Si sat in the middle of the army, constantly sending out scouts from Eagle Garrison to see the situation in front of him, allowing him to understand the situation immediately.
After learning that the Star Boundary had an absolute advantage, Yao Si couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised. Unlike Yang Kai, who had almost never participated in the previous war between the two worlds, Yao Si had fought with the Demon Race for several years and knew how difficult and fierce the Demon Race was. Originally, he had thought that it would be a difficult battle, but he had never imagined that his side would have the absolute upper hand. Just like Li Wuyi’s uneasiness, Yao Si also smelled the scent of a conspiracy, but even Li Wuyi couldn’t see anything suspicious, so how could Yao Si?
Just as he was frowning in contemplation, a guard came to report, “Reporting to Sir, Ox Garrison's Chief Xi Lei requests an audience!”
In the army, military rules were strict, especially when Yang Kai wasn’t around and Yao Si is in charge of the Sixth Stem Army. This was the beginning of the war between the two worlds, so if Xi Lei wanted to see him, he would have to go through someone else’s report. If Yang Kai was here, Xi Lei would have already come over, there was no need for such trouble.
When Yao Si heard this, his brow wrinkled. He didn’t know why Xi Lei had come here instead of guarding his Ox Garrison, but he was afraid he had something urgent to report, so he nodded and said, “Let him come.”
The guard nodded and retreated.
Not long after, Xi Lei stepped in and cupped his fists, “Greetings, Sir.”
Yao Si nodded, “What is it?”
Xi Lei smacked his lips and smiled, rubbing his hands together as he said, “Sir, it’s like this. I heard from the little ones that the other armies have been fighting like mad. I just wanted to ask when we’ll join the battle, it’s not a good idea to wait here forever.” Saying so, he cupped his fists respectfully, “Sixth Stem Army first battle, my Ox Garrison is willing to be the vanguard, we’ll definitely show the Sixth Stem Army's might!”
Yao Si shot him an annoyed glance and said, “When it's time to fight, what’s the rush?”
The various Garrison's Chief didn’t know what the Seven Mist Sea’s arrangements were, but from afar, they could only see the Demon Race gathering in the Great Dragon Array. There were also other armies fighting with the Demon Race nearby, but their Sixth Stem Army was still holding back and couldn’t help feeling anxious.
If it had been an ordinary army, it would have been fine, but although the sixth stem army had just been formed, it was already recognized as the number one army in the Star Boundary. If they were to fail in this first battle, no one would be able to maintain their dignity.
Xi Lei understood that since the Demon Race wasn’t coming, he would just go kill them. He had to lead the army to chop off the heads of a few Demon Kings, otherwise, how could he live up to his daily hard work?
Seeing that Yao Si did not allowed it, Xi Lei grumbled, “If Sir was here, he would have already led us to kill our enemies. Why would he stay here like a fool?”
“What did you say?” Yao Si stared at him.
Xi Lei quickly waved his hand, “No, nothing, haha, this humble subordinate will take his leave!” Although the strength of Yao Si was lower than his own, the sixth stem army could be said to have been built up by him, and he had a great reputation in the army. In the face of such a great enemy, how could Xi Lei dare to confront him directly? Just now, he had only been muttering to himself and didn’t have any malicious intent. Seeing him lose his temper, Xi Lei quickly slipped away.
“Bastard!” Yao Si shouted angrily as he turned to Yang Xiao, the Central Army Garrison's Chief, and ordered, “Keep an eye on him, if he dares leave his post again, chop off his head!”
Yang Xiao lowered his eyes and obediently replied, “Yes!” He knew that these were just words spoken out of anger. Any Emperor Realm cultivator in the Sixth Stem Army was a treasure, so how could Yao Si bear to kill them? After interacting with Yao Si for so long, everyone knew that he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, not putting on any airs as the Great Emperor’s son.
Yang Xue held back her laughter and said, “Sir doesn’t need to be angry, Sir Xi Lei’s desire to contribute is only natural, there will always be a time when the Sixth Stem Army will kill the enemy.”
As intelligent as she was, how could she not see that Yao Si’s outward appearance was as immovable as a mountain? In reality, she was quite anxious. This was the second initial battle in the two worlds passage, and with the sixth stem army great reputation, it was only natural for them to show off their power. Unfortunately, they had arrived too late and was unable to participate in the setup of the Great Dragon Array, so they could only wait outside the Great Array.
However, after waiting for a long time, the other armies had already begun fighting with the Demon Race, but not a single one of them had rushed out from the direction where the sixth stem army was stationed. It was truly lonely like snow. If they waited any longer, how could they kill the Demon Race?
Xi Lei was eager to make contributions, and so was Yao Si.
Yang Xue’s words seemed to be an excuse for Xi Lei, but in reality, she was secretly trying to persuade Yao Si.
While talking, Yao Si’s expression suddenly changed as he stood up and looked towards the front, only to see the giant dragon’s body in the distance, the Great Array faintly opening in the direction of the sixth stem army, and from that opening, an overwhelming number of Demon Race soldiers swarmed out.
Yao Si raised his brow, a smile appearing on his tense face.
More and more Demon Race cultivators rushed out, and the one leading them was a Demon King with extraordinary strength. Just like the Demon Race who had escaped from the Great Array, this Demon King thought that he would be able to kill his way back after escaping, but who would have thought that when he looked up, he would see the sixth stem army blocking his path.
More than three hundred thousand pairs of eyes glared over.
The Demon King was not afraid of anything, but when he was stared at by these pairs of eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine and couldn’t help wondering, Why are these humans so excited?
“Reporting!” One of the Eagle Garrison scouts flew over and knelt down in front of Yao Si before cupping his fists and saying, “A message has come from the Jia Zi Army, six hundred thousand Demon Race soldiers are about to charge forward. The Army's General has ordered the sixth stem army to face the enemy!”
Yao Si chuckled, “Six hundred thousand! Haha, good, Sir Army's General has picked up a piece of fat meat for us!”
Although the sixth stem army only had three hundred thousand people, facing nearly two times the number of enemies, Yao Si was not afraid at all, instead feeling somewhat excited.
Straightening his body, his expression stern, he declared loudly, “Relay my orders, Poison Scorpion, Fire Ox, and Divine Dragon Garrisons will act as the vanguard, Furious Flood Dragon, and Heavenly Fox, Falling Flowers, and Spiritual Snake will act as support. Heavenly Phoenix will take the rear, all of you… eat! kill! wipe!”
The flag of command waved and the war drums beat.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, with the exception of the thirty thousand people from the Central Army and the several thousand people from the Eagle Garrison, the other eight Garrisons all moved out, their momentum unstoppable!
Since arriving on this battlefield, the sixth stem army had been training. Although it was the beginning of the battle, the army was still marching in an orderly manner, not showing the slightest signs of panic. The various garrisons also strictly followed the orders of Yao Si and rushed towards the Demon Race army that had just rushed out of the Great Dragon Array.
Although there were more than six hundred thousand demons, after the fierce battle inside the Great Dragon Array, they had consumed a great deal of their strength, and after rushing out, they had no time to rest and were in a state of chaos. Now that they saw the sixth stem army charging towards them, the Demon Kings leading them were all stunned, unable to react in time.
