The Six-Winged Bees were not only incredibly fast, but thanks to the flapping of their three pairs of wings, they were also extremely agile.

After communicating with one another, the Domain Lord rank Six-Winged Bees braced themselves against the incoming attacks, and after suffering significant casualties, they managed to close in on the human Psychics.

Five Six-Winged Bee Domain Lords simultaneously locked onto Bai Muye, but just as they were about to reach him, they suddenly felt as if they had become trapped in amber; despite their three pairs of wings flapping incessantly, their bodies could no longer move with the ease they were accustomed to.

The situation in this battle was dire, so Bai Muye stopped holding back. His silver spear danced in his hands, and with a series of soft thuds, the five approaching Six-Winged Bees were instantly dispatched.

Storing the corpses of the Six-Winged Bees into his storage space, he expanded his domain, enveloping a Six-Winged Bee that Zhan Qiu was currently facing.

That Six-Winged Bee's movements stalled instantly, and it was immediately cut down by Zhan Qiu.

At the same time, Feng Yi and another Universe Rank warrior had been following closely behind Bai Muye; when he instantly cleared the Domain Lord rank Six-Winged Bees in front of him, they also charged forward valiantly to slaughter the Universe Rank Six-Winged Bees.

They knew that as long as they did not stray too far from Bai Muye, their safety was relatively guaranteed; whenever they encountered danger, Bai Muye's domain would always suppress their opponents at the first opportunity, allowing them to turn defeat into victory and slay the enemy in an instant.

Of course, if they encountered an enemy capable of killing them in a single blow, that was simply bad luck; after all, on the brutal Outer Battlefield, having a relative guarantee of safety was something others could only dream of.

Under the siege, although the human legion had killed many Six-Winged Bees, their own losses were also mounting; every moment, Universe Rank warriors were having their bodies pierced by the mouthparts or sharp limbs of the Six-Winged Bees.

On the battlefield, suffering a severe injury was almost synonymous with losing one's life in the next instant.

Amidst the flying flesh and blood, the battlefield, which held nearly thirty thousand combatants in total, truly presented the scene of a "meat grinder" on the Outer Battlefield.

Within the range covered by Bai Muye's domain, the survival rate of human soldiers was much higher than elsewhere; without needing any orders, many Domain Lords and Universe Rank warriors spontaneously gravitated toward him.

Bai Muye had gone berserk; the ten triangular cones on the periphery continuously harvested countless Universe Rank Six-Winged Bees, and every thrust of the silver spear in his hand claimed the life of a Six-Winged Bee Domain Lord.

Yet, strangely, amidst such intense combat, his mind remained absolutely calm, never stirred into a frenzy. In contrast, the other Domain Lords and Universe Rank warriors, including the Monster Race beasts of the Six-Winged Bee clan, had all become crazed by the brutal fighting.

Some threw themselves recklessly in front of comrades to block fatal strikes, while others, after suffering mortal wounds, would stop at nothing to drag their enemies down with them...

Giving his all at every moment, the consumption of origin force was staggering, but Xiao Si, residing within the singularity, continuously exuded pure energy from the tips of its roots, replenishing Bai Muye's reserves and allowing him to remain in his peak state at all times.

Once that energy was refined by Xiao Si, its purity even surpassed the origin force of a Domain Lord; it hardly needed to be processed, as the singularity would actively absorb it, causing the total amount of origin force in his body to rise rather than fall.

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

On the World Lord rank battlefield, although the Six-Winged Bees were merely common Monster Race, their strength was generally slightly inferior to human elites; despite outnumbering them by nearly double, they had not been able to gain the upper hand while fighting with superior numbers.

In battles where the difference in strength was not vast, if it were one-on-one, the stronger side would likely emerge victorious, but in a chaotic melee with uneven numbers, it was difficult to maintain one-on-one situations. Some of the human World Lords were facing two enemies, others three; in short, they were all in a state of being besieged.

The Dongluo Legion had over a dozen World Lord Generals, and the Gong Nuoxiao Legion also had over a dozen; these twenty-plus World Lord Generals had unleashed their full power from the start, and after the initial clash, they had indeed killed many World Lord rank Six-Winged Bees.

There were also some elite World Lords among the Six-Winged Bees; although their strength was inferior to that of Zhu Ang and the others, they made up for it with numbers. Led by these elite World Lords, the Six-Winged Bee clan used their nearly threefold numerical advantage to entangle these human World Lord Generals.

However, it was precisely because of this that the number of Six-Winged Bees faced by other human World Lords was far lower than expected, keeping the battlefield situation relatively balanced.

The Immortal battlefield was equally scorching; the strength of Gong Nuoxiao was on par with the two opposing Immortal Six-Winged Bees, while the strength of Dongluo was slightly higher, though limited. Although she could suppress the opposing Immortals, she could never land a decisive blow.

Dongluo observed the World Lord and Domain Lord/Universe Rank battlefields and realized that if things continued this way, both legions would likely suffer heavy losses.

"I have already called for reinforcements; allies will arrive within ten minutes. Hold your ground!"

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

At the same time, she sent a private transmission to Gong Nuoxiao: "I just called for allies. The military system shows an ally within one hundred million kilometers, but my detector shows absolutely no reaction. Clearly, this ally's detector is more advanced than ours. Drag these two old bees out; once the ally arrives, we might be able to keep them here..."

Gong Nuoxiao's spirits lifted. He had been feeling quite stifled in this battle; he had not wanted to start a war with the other side, but their ship was a "honeycomb" vessel specially crafted by their clan, which was extremely adept at flight. In the star-filled space with cosmic dust, its acceleration was much faster than his rectangular spaceship, and even if he turned or changed direction, he would be caught up to before long.

He had a temper too; since you want to fight, then let's fight!

On the blood-soaked battlefield, the range covered by Bai Muye's domain was extremely vast, but the power of the domain diminished with distance; the further away, the weaker it became, but at the very least, it was better than nothing.

The silver spear in his hands moved like a ghost, never stopping for a moment as it harvested the warriors of the Six-Winged Bee clan. At the same time, he kept a portion of his focus on the World Lord battlefield, guarding against any Six-Winged Bee World Lords coming his way.

Although Xiao Si had told him before the battle that it would keep an eye out for him, he did not want to develop a habit of dependency.

Even though he had been killing the Domain Lord and Universe Rank Six-Winged Bees at the fastest speed possible, the battlefield was too large, and the number of human Domain Lords and Universe Rank warriors was still decreasing rapidly.

"It's been eight minutes already. Has the ally not arrived yet?" He couldn't help but look up toward the Immortal battlefield.

"Hm?"

In the air not far from the Immortal battlefield, a golden sword-shaped spaceship about a hundred meters long suddenly appeared.

The ship hovered in the air, a slender figure emerged, and then the ship vanished.

"The ally is just one person? And a World Lord at that..." Bai Muye was stunned, then his heart stirred. "Daring to intervene in an Immortal battle as a World Lord—could this be a World Lord from a secret realm of one of the five major powers?"

While he speculated in his heart, his hands did not stop for a second; with a single thrust, he blew apart another Six-Winged Bee Domain Lord.

Gong Nuoxiao had been waiting for reinforcements, but when he discovered that the ally was only one person and a World Lord at that, he couldn't help but transmit in astonishment to Dongluo: "Are you sure this is the ally you were talking about?"

"The military system shows the coordinates; it is her!" Dongluo's stern expression softened slightly. "Don't be surprised. If I'm not mistaken, anyone who dares to act alone as a World Lord must be a core member of a major power!"

Having spent many years on the Outer Battlefield, Gong Nuoxiao reacted immediately upon hearing Dongluo's words, and then he was overjoyed.

"This Immortal," the slender World Lord said after putting away her ship, holding a long sword as she approached the battle circle. She struck toward Dongluo's opponent with a single sword stroke, transmitting at the same time, "You go help your companion; leave this Six-Winged Bee to me..."

Dongluo did not hesitate to withdraw her forty-nine flying swords and then joined Gong Nuoxiao in besieging the other Immortal Six-Winged Bee.

"A mere World Lord, daring to..."

Dongluo's opponent was furious and was about to mock her, but was cut off by a sword light that resembled a startling flash of lightning.

"Impressive..." Gong Nuoxiao and Dongluo were besieging their opponent, but the corner of their eyes was also captivated by that flash of light. When they saw Dongluo's original opponent torn apart directly by that sword strike, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Dongluo activated her sword domain, encircling the Immortal Six-Winged Bee, and turned her head to see the opponent she had been entangled with for so long cleaved in two by a single strike. She couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness: "Back in my family, I was considered a genius, but compared to her..."
