The Lu Wu Army Corps and the Yang Household's Strength
At Purple Moon Mountain, Yang Tianyou held Communication Law Treasure, and the figure of the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master appeared.
"Alliance Leader, the Lu Wu Army has been established for so many years, shouldn't it be time to make a move?" Yang Tianyou said.
The Lu Wu Realm Alliance was established before the start of the Interface War, and has existed for over a hundred years.
If we start counting from the time when the major Sacred Lands learned that the Interface War was about to break out, it has been three hundred years since then.
The Lu Wu Army, built over such a long period of time with the full power of an entire realm, possesses a terrifying combat strength far exceeding that of the Purple Moon Army, having already reached the Void Refinement level.
However, compared with the Void Refinement Legions established by the major forces in the Nine Phoenix Realm, the Lu Wu Army's training time is still too short. The number of Foundation Establishment soldiers at the lower level is still good, with a total of over 100,000.
However, generals at the level of Spirit Transformation or Sage Manifestation are extremely rare.
The reason why the Lu Wu Army is said to possess Void Refinement combat power is because the Lu Wu Realm has Secret Method that allows other High-Rank Cultivators to be forcibly integrated into the Lu Wu Army, serving as pillars and maintaining Void Refinement combat power.
However, because they weren't raised from a young age, the two are completely incompatible.
It's like pouring hot oil onto cold water; while the quantity may increase, one side will inevitably suffer.
For the Lu Wu Realm, high-level experts are certainly unwilling to suffer losses, so they can only treat the lower-level soldiers as disposable resources.
Simply put, every time the Lu Wu Army Corps is deployed, it consumes thousands, or even tens of thousands, of Foundation Establishment soldiers.
They used the lives of these low-level cultivators to maintain their Void Refinement combat power.
Therefore, the Lu Wu Realm Alliance will never deploy the Lu Wu Army unless absolutely necessary, because every battle involves risking the lives of soldiers, which is simply not worth it.
The losses from battle and the sacrifices consumed could mean that in one battle, a legion of 20,000 to 30,000 men would be reduced to only a few thousand, half of whom would be High-Rank Cultivators. The losses would be too devastating.
It should be understood that the training cost for each Foundation Establishment soldier in the Cultivator Legion is extremely high.
Moreover, in another one or two hundred years, when more Spirit Transformation and Sage Manifestation Transformation cultivators grow up, Lu Wu Army will truly possess the power to Void Refinement, and these soldiers will no longer be expendable.
In short, it's a huge loss to prematurely deplete these soldiers in battle.
Winning at most results in a small profit, breaking even results in a loss, and losing results in a huge loss.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense wouldn't do that kind of business!
However, faced with Yang Tianyou's request, the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master could not bring himself to refuse.
Others may not know, but doesn't he?
Not to mention that the Yang Household used Unknown Detection Methods to make great contributions to the Lu Wu Realm, successively killing more than a hundred Sage Manifestation powerhouse, causing the Nine Phoenix Realm to suffer a heavy blow.
In the First-Tier of the war alone, the Yang Household announced the matter of the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty's Heavenly Mandate Fruit Position, which, through a combination of weakening and attacking, directly reduced the Nine-Phoenix Dynasty's strength by half. This was an enormous achievement for the Lu Wu Realm.
With such a meritorious individual, boundless potential, and the need for the Yang family's full support for the next month or so, Master Lingkong nodded without hesitation and assured him, "Fellow Daoist Taibai, rest assured, Lu Wu's army will arrive soon and will certainly ensure the safety of your Yang family!"
"Then I will await the arrival of the Lu Wu Army at Purple Moon Mountain!" Yang Tianyou said with a smile.
Just as the two were about to put away their communication artifacts, Yang Tianyou's expression suddenly changed. Seeing this, the Spirit Void Pavilion Master quickly asked, "What happened? Why does Fellow Daoist Taibai look like that?"
Yang Tianyou sighed and said, "The Heaven and Earth Sacred Lord died in battle, and the Qiankun Holy Land was destroyed. Only a portion of the disciples escaped to the Seven Stars Sacred Land."
Upon hearing this news, the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master was stunned for a moment, then sighed with a complex expression, "Another old friend has passed away, another Sacred Land has collapsed, the Interface War... Alas!"
"By the way, how's the progress with the Devil Cultivators?" Yang Tianyou changed the subject and asked.
Composing himself, the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master replied, "Lin Yingyue has already led a large number of high-level Devil Cultivators into the Nine Phoenix Realm. Good news should arrive soon!"
Yang Tianyou nodded slightly and said, "Since these Devil Cultivators killed the Heavenly Demon, their Sage Manifestation Great Perfection Saints among them, and Lin Yingyue is becoming increasingly unfathomable. She may even possess the combat power of the Void Refinement Realm."
Once they enter the Nine Phoenix Realm, they should be able to create a huge upheaval and alleviate the pressure on the main battlefield!
"I wonder what method Lin Yingyue used to sneak into the Nine Phoenix Realm with so many high-level Devil Cultivators without anyone noticing. Such methods are simply unbelievable!" said the Spiritvoid Pavilion Master with some apprehension.
Yang Tianyou said, "As long as we can win this war, we don't need to investigate what methods he uses!"
"That's true..." Spiritvoid Pavilion Master nodded slightly.
Putting away his Communication Law Treasure, Yang Tianyou stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the horizon. Amidst the rolling clouds, he seemed to see a Wind-Thunder Griffin spreading its wings and roaring angrily.
"Let's bring it on then, and see who gets their head bruised and bleeding!"
Whispers faded with the wind, but the fighting spirit soared and surged.
In the Yang Household's Discussion Hall, Yang Tianyou sat in the main seat, surveying the numerous powerful figures from the eleven major Province-Level Power below.
"Everyone, the Divine Wind Army Corps, leading a large number of Sage Manifestation and Spirit Transformation powerhouse from the Nine Phoenix Realms, is fiercely attacking our Purple Moon War Zone. We must respond as soon as possible!" Yang Tianyou said.
"The Divine Wind Army Corps? That's Void Refinement Force! How can we possibly resist them?" Silver-Tailed Sky Cat King stood up abruptly, his face pale.
"Yes, we don't even have many combatants above the Late Sage Manifestation. How can we withstand the combatants of the Void Refinement Realm? This is like throwing an egg against a rock!" The White Cloud Sect Old Ancestor said with a mournful face.
"Alright, the Divine Wind Army Corps will be resisted by the Lu Wu Army. What you need to do is block the other powerful forces and armies of the Nine Phoenix Realm. We won't send you to your deaths!" Yang Tianyou reassured him.
"Lu Wu Army?" The eyes of the powerful figures lit up.
Apart from Yang Tianyou, Spiritvoid Pavilion Master, and Seven Stars Sacred Lord, who are among the highest-ranking members of the Alliance.
Ordinary Sage Manifestation and leaders of Province-Level Power were unaware of the specific combat strength of the Lu Wu Army.
Therefore, upon learning that Lu Wu Army was able to deal with the Divine Wind Army Corps, they were all overjoyed, as this represented a very significant meaning.
"May I ask Fellow Daoist Taibai, besides the Divine Wind Legion, what is the specific strength of the remaining powerhouses in the Nine Phoenix Realm? Do you have any detailed information?" the Azure Flame Lion King asked cautiously.
"This is the intelligence I've compiled. Take a look!" Yang Tianyou waved his sleeve and distributed more than a dozen Jade Slips.
"Thirty Sage Manifestation powerhouse, over a thousand Spirit Transformation powerhouse, and hundreds of thousands of state-level or higher legions—even without the Divine Wind Army Corps, we might not be able to withstand such power!" Tianli True Lord exclaimed in horror.
The Purple Moon War Zone has only about thirty members with the power to manifest Sage Manifestation, and only the Yang Household Purple Moon Army First Legion possesses the power to Sage Manifestation Great Perfection.
However, according to the information provided by Yang Tianyou, among the powerful figures attacking from the Nine Phoenix Realms, there were three at the Sage Manifestation Great Perfection and more than ten at the Late Sage Manifestation Realm. How could they possibly fight them?
Panic spread, and Yang Tianyou realized it was time to reveal some of his trump cards to stabilize morale.
He raised his right hand and gently pressed it down, and the hall immediately fell silent.
"Fellow Daoist Friends should know that my Yang Household never fights a battle we are not confident of winning..."
As soon as he finished speaking, powerful auras rose from all directions of Purple Moon Mountain. They were all Sage Manifestation powerhouse, and the auras of seven or eight of them were no weaker than those at the Mid Sage Manifestation.
Before the leaders of the eleven major Province-Level Power could recover from their shock, the entire Purple Moon Mountain suddenly trembled. The powerful figures immediately felt a deep, vast, and extraordinary aura. In the distance, they seemed to see a dragon of Spiritual Qi, baring its fangs and roaring proudly at the Firmament, appearing before them.
"Sixth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein!!"
Incredulous exclamations rose and fell, and the once high and Sage Manifestation powerhouse their divine abilities were now completely devoid of their usual composure.
