The War of Expansion (3)
At Crouching Ox Pass, the fierce battle has been raging for eight days. The Foreign Races race has suffered heavy casualties, while the Human Race Spirit Vein Spiritual Qi is almost exhausted, and they have begun to use Spirit Stones to support the operation of the Formation.
Inside the main hall of the City Lord's Manor, the four Golden Core Cultivators of the Feng Household — Feng Yuezhi, Feng Qingyang, Feng Lieyang Feng Lieqing —sat on the left.
On the right are Yang Dangmo, Yang Tianshi, Yuan Ba, and Xuanyin, four Golden Core Yang Household.
"With the war having reached this point, shouldn't we proceed with Great White's next plan?" Feng Yuezhi stroked his beard, looking at the Yang Household's Golden Core opposite him, and chuckled.
Yang Dangmo nodded slightly and said, "The strength of the Foreign Races Army has been reduced by more than half in the past few days. Their Golden Core Combat Strength have also relaxed their vigilance, and several have left their strongholds to come to the Front Lines to oversee the battle, including the chief of the Greenrock Tribe, Batum."
Feng Yuezhi nodded slightly and continued, "In this Cold Tide War, not only has our strength increased significantly, but the Ice Crystal Pool and the Greenrock Tribe have also gained many more Golden Core Combat Strength."
The Barbarian Tribe has eight Golden Core, while the Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger Clan has Golden Core, several of whom were sent by Iron Lion Ridge to provide support.
There are a total of seventeen Golden Core Combat Strength. Even if they send four Golden Core cultivators to Blackblood City as reinforcements, there will still be thirteen Golden Core left. If they want to annihilate them all, they must be fully prepared.
Upon hearing his words, Yang Dangmo's eyes flashed. The Yang Household possessed Spatial Passage leading directly to the side and rear of the Ice Crystal Pool, a fact that had not been disclosed to the Feng Household. Therefore, Feng Yuezhi's words carried a hint of probing.
However, the Spatial Passage was a secret of the Yang Household. After conquering the Ice Crystal Pool, this passage would be of great use to the Yang Household in controlling this area. Therefore, Yang Dangmo only gave a vague answer and brushed the matter aside.
Simply say that the Yang Household has made all the arrangements, and everything should proceed according to plan.
Upon hearing this, the Feng Household's Golden Core Cultivators, though still curious, wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
After discussing the details of the war for another half hour, the two sides dispersed.
The following day, contrary to its usual practice, the Crouching Ox Pass Formation abandoned its defensive posture and began to launch an offensive.
One after another, incredibly powerful beams of light, unleashed by the Law Power, hurtled towards the city, resembling an endless Foreign Races Army.
Then, led by the Yang Household's three Third-Tier Flying Boats and the Feng Household's one Third-Tier Flying Boat, the Elite Force Human Race forces began to break away from the city and launch a counterattack.
Yang Dangmo and eight other Golden Core Combat Strength also mobilized simultaneously to confront the seven Foreign Races Golden Core on the opposing side.
Among these seven Golden Core from Foreign Races, the strongest is Batum, the leader of the Greenrock Tribe. He possesses the strength of the Late Golden Core realm, with a physique comparable to Third-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Gold Third-Tier Upper-Grade, he is not afraid at all. His strength is formidable.
In the end, Batum was blocked head-on by Yuan Ba and Xuanyin, who possessed the combat power of the Middle Golden Core, along with two Third-Tier Puppets.
The other six Golden Core from other Foreign Races were stopped by Feng Yuezhi, Yang Dangmo, and others.
Although the Golden Core cultivators of Foreign Races are generally at a higher level, the Yang Household has four Third-Tier Puppets to assist them.
Therefore, the actual ratio of Golden Core Combat Strength between the two sides should be twelve to seven. Not long after the battle began, the Foreign Races was completely at a disadvantage.
"How is this possible? Where did you get so many Third-Tier Puppets?" Batum struggled against the combined attacks of the four Golden Core Combat Strength in front of him, his rugged face filled with deep bewilderment.
However, Yuan Ba and Xuanyin, those two battle maniacs, didn't have time to answer his question.
They focused solely on launching the attack.
The Blazing Flame Black Iron Staff Scarlet Bright Demon Fire, was wielded by Yuan Ba, creating hundreds of fiery red staff shadows that struck Batum's incredibly tough body, producing a clanging sound like metal clashing.
Xuanyin harnessed the Five-Colored Rainbow Light, which transformed into a Five-Colored Heavenly Sword several tens of feet long.
As the Five Elements reversed, terrifying waves of destructive energy were released, directly engulfing Batum's massive, mountain-like physique.
In addition, two other low-grade Third-Tier Lower-Grade Puppets, also under Yuan Ba's control, activated the Divine Ability Law Technique engraved on their bodies to suppress Batum.
Both of these Puppets are of the binding and control type.
With one head resembling a water snake and the other an octopus, after activating its Divine Ability, ropes and water chains extended out, weaving a tight net that made it very difficult for Batum to be sealed off.
His area of operation became smaller and smaller, and he gradually went from being invincible at the beginning to being able to attack from all sides and fall into a disadvantageous position.
Apart from Batum, the other six Golden Core from Foreign Races were also directly suppressed by the Golden Core Cultivators from Yang and Feng Households.
Yang Tianshi was in charge of controlling the situation. His Lifebound Array Artifact floated in front of him, and Array Mark condensed out, spreading across the entire sky like fluttering butterflies.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi began to fluctuate violently.
In the blink of an eye, three Control Formations materialized.
Next, Yang Tianshi lowered a total of twelve Triangular Formation Flags, placing them at the twelve corners of the Formation to completely stabilize it.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The six Golden Core from Foreign Races were entangled by Yang Dangmo, Feng Yuezhi, and others, and were unable to stop them.
They could only watch helplessly as Formation was completed, completely sealing off their retreat.
"Well done, Tianshi! You just need to control the Formation to prevent them from escaping, and leave the rest to us!" Feng Qingyang shouted excitedly. Then, he swung his longsword, and the Three Thousand Sword Rivers, like an inverted celestial river, meandered down, suppressing a Barbarian Tribe Golden Core cultivator to a sorry state.
With the aid of Formations and Puppets, the Golden Core cultivators had a significant advantage on the battlefield, and several Foreign Races Golden Core cultivators were frequently injured, their crimson blood splattering across the sky.
The Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining battlefields below need no further explanation.
With the assistance of four Third-Tier Flying Boat, they swept through the lower-level Foreign Races with ease.
While the Barbarian Tribe side possessed two Third-Tier Totem Pillar capable of stopping two Third-Tier Flying Boat, they were completely helpless against the remaining two Third-Tier Flying Boat.
Not to mention, one of these two ships is Third-Tier Upper-Grade Flying Boat.
On the Flying Boat, Yang Xuande and Yang Xuanting stood one in front and one behind, calmly directing Two Hundred Cultivators.
Together they activated the Formation and piloted the Flying Boats, annihilating large numbers of low-level Foreign Races forces. They quickly routed the Foreign Races Army, which then began to scatter and flee.
While the counterattack was launched on the main battlefield, the Yang Household's Purple Moon Mountain side also began its operation.
The Slaughter Valley, filled with Sha Qi.
Yunhua, Yang Haoyu, Fengling, Ruoqing, four Golden Core cultivators, appeared here and stepped into the Blood Moon Secret Realm together.
Using the Spatial Passage left above the Secret Realm, they traversed thousands of miles in just a short time, appearing directly behind and to the side of the Ice Crystal Pool.
Upon arriving here, Yunhua used the power of the Illusion God Pearl to conceal her aura and quietly approached the outside of the Ice Crystal Pool.
"Attack!!"
With a soft shout, Yunhua raised her hand, and the Cold Moon Immortal Sword, which had reached the Third-Tier Supreme-Grade of the third rank, transformed into a Taiyin Sword Light that reached the heavens and the earth, and directly slashed down on the defensive barrier of the Ice Crystal Pool.
Yang Haoyu followed closely behind, unleashing his full power as Middle Golden Core cultivator, using the Great Achievement Perfection Arms and Armor Divine-Penetration Technique to activate a Third-Tier Supreme-Grade Law Treasure, the "True Flame Sword."
By leveraging the unique power of Divine Ability abilities and at the cost of the damaged foundation of the Law Treasure, the sword's power was fully unleashed, unleashing the power of Golden Core Great Perfection.
Two Heavenly Sword, one yin and one yang, descended from the sky, catching the Ice Crystal Pool's Formation barrier completely off guard and tearing a large hole in it.
Seeing this, Fengling took Ruoqing and leaped into the Ice Crystal Pool, followed by Yunhua and Yang Haoyu.
At this point, the three Golden Core Demon Beasts left guarding the Ice Crystal Pool finally reacted and roared as they charged forward.
Of the three demonic Demon Beasts, two are Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tigers.
One of them was the master of the Ice Crystal Pool, the Ice Crystal Tiger King, with combat power at the peak of the Late Golden Core.
At the other end is its mate, Middle Golden Core cultivator.
The last Golden Core Demon Beast, named Golden Mastiff Beast, is a Loose Demon with Middle Golden Core combat power. It was sent down from Iron Lion Ridge to help Ice Crystal Pool defend against the Human Race's attack.
