Allies

The Six-Winged Bees were not only astonishingly fast; with three pairs of wings beating, they were also extremely agile.

After communicating with one another, the Domain Lords among the Six-Winged Bees braved the attacks. Only after suffering considerable casualties did they manage to reach the human Psychic users.

At the same time, five Six-Winged Bee Domain Lords set their sights on Bai Muye. But just as they were about to close in, they suddenly felt as though they were trapped in Amber. Their three pairs of wings kept beating, yet their bodies would no longer move as freely as before.

The battle was going badly, so Bai Muye held nothing back. His Silver Spear flashed through the air, and with a series of muffled thuds, he instantly dispatched the five approaching Six-Winged Bees.

After storing the Six-Winged Bee corpses in his storage space, he spread his domain and enveloped the Six-Winged Bee fighting Zhan Qiu.

The Six-Winged Bee's movements immediately slowed, and Zhan Qiu cut it down.

Feng Yi and another Universe Rank fighter had been following Bai Muye the whole time. When he instantly cleared away the Domain Lord Rank Six-Winged Bees in front of him, they too surged forward fearlessly, charging at the Universe Rank Six-Winged Bees.

They knew that as long as they stayed close to Bai Muye, they were relatively safe. Whenever danger arose, Bai Muye's domain would suppress their opponents at once, giving them the chance to turn the tables and kill the enemy in an instant.

Of course, if they ran into an enemy capable of killing them in a single blow, then they could only blame bad luck. After all, on the brutal Outer Battlefield, even relative safety was something others could only dream of.

Though the human army killed many Six-Winged Bees while under attack, its own casualties kept mounting. Every moment, another Universe Rank fighter had their body pierced by a Six-Winged Bee's mouthparts or sharp legs.

On the battlefield, anyone who suffered a grave wound was practically as good as dead the next moment.

Amid flying flesh and blood, nearly thirty thousand combatants clashed, bringing the Outer Battlefield's reputation as a "flesh-and-blood grinder" vividly to life.

Within the area covered by Bai Muye's domain, human fighters survived at a far higher rate than elsewhere. Without anyone directing them, many Domain Lords and Universe Rank fighters began closing in on him of their own accord.

Bai Muye was on a rampage. The ten Triangular Cones circling outside him kept reaping Universe Rank fighters from the Six-Winged Bee Race, while every thrust of the Silver Spear in his hand killed a Six-Winged Bee Domain Lord.

Strangely, though, his mind remained perfectly calm amid the fierce fighting. The carnage did not send his blood boiling. By contrast, the other Domain Lords and Universe Rank fighters—including the Six-Winged Bee beasts—were driven into a frenzy by the brutal battle.

Some fearlessly took fatal attacks meant for their comrades; others, after suffering deadly wounds, fought their enemies to the death without regard for the consequences...

They fought at full strength every moment, consuming an astonishing amount of Origin Force. But Xiao Si, inside the Singularity, continuously released pure energy from the tips of his roots, replenishing Bai Muye's reserves and allowing him to remain in peak condition.

After Xiao Si refined it, the energy was even purer than Domain Lord Rank Origin Force. The Singularity absorbed it almost without needing to refine it, and the total amount of Origin Force within Bai Muye actually increased instead of falling.

After nearly half an hour of fighting, Bai Muye's body trembled slightly as he broke through from the fifth Domain Lord Rank stage to the sixth.

On the World Lord Rank battlefield, the Six-Winged Bees were only an ordinary monster race, and their strength generally fell short of the human elite. Although they outnumbered the humans by nearly two to one, they still failed to gain the upper hand despite having the numbers advantage.

In a battle between opponents of similar strength, if it came down to one-on-one, the stronger side would most likely win in the end. But it was difficult to arrange one-on-one fights in a chaotic battle between unequal forces. Some human World Lords were fighting two enemies alone, while others were fighting three in pairs. In short, they were all being surrounded.

The Dongluo Legion had more than a dozen World Lord Generals, and the Gong Nuoxiao Legion had just as many. These two dozen-odd generals had unleashed their full strength from the outset, and they had indeed killed many Six-Winged Bee World Lords in the opening clashes.

There were also some elite World Lords among the Six-Winged Bees. Though they were not as strong as Zhu Ang and the others, they made up for their lack of strength with numbers. Led by their elite World Lords, the Six-Winged Bee Race used nearly three times as many fighters to tie down the human World Lord Generals.

But that also meant the other human World Lords faced far fewer Six-Winged Bees than expected, keeping the overall battle relatively balanced.

The Immortal Rank battlefield was just as deadlocked. Gong Nuoxiao was evenly matched with the two Six-Winged Bee Immortals, while Dongluo was slightly stronger but not by much. Though she could keep her opponent on the defensive, she could not seriously injure her.

Dongluo surveyed the World Lord, Domain Lord, and Universe Rank battlefields and realized that if the fighting continued like this, both legions would suffer heavy losses.

"I've already called for reinforcements. Allies will arrive within ten minutes. Hold on!"

She sent the message to all the World Lords and Domain Lords in both legions.

At the same time, she sent a message to Gong Nuoxiao. "I just called for allies. The Military System shows one within a hundred million kilometers, but my Detector hasn't picked up a thing. That ally's Detector is clearly more advanced than ours. Keep these two old bees busy. Once our ally arrives, we might be able to take them down..."

Gong Nuoxiao's spirits lifted. This battle had been frustrating. He had never wanted to fight the other side, but their ship was a specially made "Honeycomb" vessel, built for their race and exceptionally good at flying. In a starry sky full of cosmic dust, it accelerated far faster than his own rectangular ship. Even if he turned around or changed direction, they caught up again before long.

He had a temper, too. If they wanted to fight, then so be it!

Bai Muye's domain covered a vast area of the blood-soaked battlefield, but its power diminished with distance. The farther away someone was, the weaker its effect. Still, even a little help was better than none.

His Silver Spear struck without warning, constantly reaping warriors from the Six-Winged Bee Race. At the same time, he kept part of his attention on the World Lord battlefield, guarding against any Six-Winged Bee World Lords coming after him.

Xiao Si had told him before the battle that he would keep watch for him, but Bai Muye did not want to develop a habit of relying on him.

Though he was killing the Six-Winged Bee Domain Lords and Universe Rank fighters as quickly as he could, the battlefield was too vast. The number of human Domain Lords and Universe Rank fighters was still rapidly dwindling.

"Eight minutes already. Why haven't the allies arrived?" He couldn't help glancing up toward the Immortal Rank battlefield.

"Hmm?"

A hundred-meter-long Golden Sword-Shaped Spaceship suddenly appeared in the sky not far from the Immortal Rank battlefield.

The ship halted in midair, and a graceful figure emerged. The vessel then vanished.

"Is the ally alone? And a World Lord..." Bai Muye stared, then a thought struck him. "Daring to join an Immortal Rank battle as a World Lord... Could she be a World Lord from one of the secret realms belonging to the Five Great Forces?"

As he speculated, he never stopped fighting. One thrust of his spear blew apart another Six-Winged Bee Domain Lord.

Gong Nuoxiao had been waiting for the ally, but when he saw that she was alone—and a World Lord at that—he was stunned. He sent a message to Dongluo. "Are you sure this is the ally you mentioned?"

"The Military System shows her coordinates. It's her!" Dongluo's stern expression softened slightly. "Don't be surprised. If I'm not mistaken, anyone who dares travel alone as a World Lord must be a Core Member of some great force!"

Gong Nuoxiao had spent many years on the Outer Battlefield. As soon as he heard Dongluo's explanation, he understood and was overjoyed.

"Immortal," the graceful World Lord said. After putting away her ship, she approached the battle with a longsword in hand and struck at Dongluo's opponent. At the same time, she sent a message: "Go help your companion. Leave this Six-Winged Bee to me..."

Without hesitation, Dongluo withdrew her forty-nine Flying Swords and joined Gong Nuoxiao in attacking the other Six-Winged Bee Immortal.

"A mere World Lord dares to—"

Dongluo's opponent flew into a rage and was about to jeer, but a streak of sword light as dazzling as a shooting star cut her off.

"Impressive..." Gong Nuoxiao and Dongluo were attacking their opponent together, but even the corner of their eyes was drawn to that dazzling sword light. When they saw Dongluo's former opponent split apart by that single strike, their eyes widened.

Dongluo used her Sword Domain to trap the Six-Winged Bee Immortal. Glancing aside at the opponent who had been entangled with her for so long, now cleaved apart by a single sword strike, she couldn't help feeling bitter. I was considered a genius in my family back then, but compared to her...
