No One Was Spared (Thanks to Hongfen)
Nearly two hundred Dou Sheng Expert, in a daze, continuously self-destructed their energy.
As Nine Phoenix watched the approaching energy, seeing that the defenses were nearing their end, her heart bled.
He felt heartbroken not only for the super array he had painstakingly acquired, but also for the more than two hundred Dou Sheng Expert. If those two hundred experts might have had a chance to be saved, now, in this wave of destruction, even Nine-Star Dou Sheng could not survive. In other words, there was no way to save those two hundred people.
With their main formation breached and their strongest stronghold lost, the remaining forces simply could no longer sustain him in a direct confrontation with the Continental Allied Army.
Not to mention, there was Xiao Yan, who was watching him intently and could do something unimaginable at any moment. Nine Phoenix was truly unsure of Xiao Yan's current level. The speed at which Ancestor Feng Ye had fallen was far too fast, and he hadn't even transmitted any valuable information to Nine Phoenix.
Nine Phoenix gritted her teeth and waved to the distance behind her.
Three figures that were originally hidden in the Black Mist suddenly appeared. All three were humanoid. After they appeared, they did not even look at Nine Phoenix. Instead, they were focused and engrossed in watching the things they controlled in their hands. They were three pieces of iron of unknown material. If they could be put together, they could roughly be seen to resemble a bluish-black incense burner.
Nine Phoenix said with unwavering determination, "It's your turn! Once you've finished charging up, I'm going to break through all their remaining formations immediately!"
At the same moment, Xiao Yan, who was on the side of the Continental Allied Army, witnessed the earth-shattering self-destruction caused by the Living Dead and the Gate of Silent Death. Although the energy also rushed towards him, under the control of his Emperor Realm Soul, all the Dou Qi that approached Xiao Yan instantly turned away, unable to penetrate and affect him.
Occasionally, wisps of black flame would successfully merge into Xiao Yan's body. The pure black Xiao Little Scale waited by his side, like a shadow.
Xiao Yan hovered in mid-air, showing no sign of anxiety despite having just severely injured the Extraterritorial Evil Clan. This was bound to be a tough battle, and in urgent situations he would need the same determination as before—to self- Gate of Silent Death —but most of the time, patience would be essential.
The Nihility Devouring Flame's properties operated ceaselessly, drawing upon the chaotic and turbulent Dou Qi from the outside world to provide Xiao Yan with the necessary resources. The excess Dou Qi energy depleted during his battle with Feng Ye was rapidly replenished. Somewhat counterintuitively, Xiao Yan's own strength was even increasing during this battle. Because all Three Great Living Dead had perished, the Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-Flame that had remained within them as control centers successfully returned, further enhancing the power of the Nihility Devouring Flame's Little Scale.
Xiao Yan, like a calm hunter, silently accumulated strength while observing the current situation.
The resistance of the great formation organized by the Extraterritorial Evil Clan has reached its final moment. More than half of the array flags that serve as the nodes of the formation have been destroyed. Xiao Yan knows that those are the core of the enemy's formation. In the short term, the Extraterritorial Evil Clan's great formation will definitely not be able to be organized.
Of course, it wasn't just the Extraterritorial Evil Clan that suffered the real consequences. The energy from the self-destruction was not contained at all, and the great formations of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan were also greatly affected by the impact. In order to protect the overall combat power, Hun Sha did not hold on desperately, and Gu Lie was still trying to maintain the great formation of the Ancient Clan, but it was also at its last gasp. If the Extraterritorial Evil Clan could launch a powerful surprise attack, the great formation of the Ancient Clan would inevitably collapse.
The reason they suffered such a blow was naturally because Xiao Yan deliberately manipulated the four Gate of Silent Death to separate into two pairs, causing them to self-destruct near the edges of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan. This first wave of energy severely damaged the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and also threatened the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan.
Their leaders, Gu Lie and Hun Sha, also had extremely solemn expressions. Looking at Xiao Yan's figure, they were both quite angry. However, at this juncture, they dared not vent their anger directly on Xiao Yan.
Even though they didn't come looking for Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan wouldn't forget them. The fact that the Origin Return Manor fell into such a dangerous situation in such a short time was largely due to the tacit agreement between the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan to stand by and watch.
Xiao Yan knew, of course, that the biggest task at present was to deal with the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, but if the Continental Allied Army was already unstable, the so-called common hatred against the enemy would not truly emerge.
"You two better behave yourselves. If you try to be clever again, I won't hesitate to kill you both right here on the battlefield!"
Xiao Yan's Emperor Realm Soul delivered his message undisguisedly and accurately to the ears of Hun Sha Gu Lie. Upon hearing Xiao Yan's direct rebuke, both fell silent for a moment.
After the telepathic message ended, Xiao Yan ignored their reactions. They were both intelligent people and would know what to do after being reprimanded like that.
As time passed, the grand formations of the major forces were weakened to varying degrees. The situation was most dire for the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, as their formation was the first to be completely destroyed after the self-destruction. The Dou Sheng Expert who had been integrated into the formation were all weakened to varying degrees due to the backlash from the formation. If the Continental Allied Army could seize this opportunity to pursue their advantage, they would certainly achieve considerable success.
"All troops, charge forward and beat the drowning dog!" On the Origin Return Manor side, the Yao Lao's telepathic communication was fully deployed.
Thanks to Xiao Yan's protection, the experts of the Origin Return Manor were largely unaffected by the self-destruction. With the Origin Return Manor's grand formation broken, they were even less concerned and launched a full-scale attack immediately upon Yao Lao's command.
The great battle is about to officially enter the stage of close combat and attrition warfare.
Once Origin Return Manor made a move, the entire Continental Allied Army followed suit.
The great formations of the Thunder Clan, Yao Clan, Stone Clan, and Ancient Clan have not yet been broken, making movement inconvenient; they can only rely on the formations to attack. The experts of the Soul Clan's Origin Return Manor, however, have been more decisive, having already joined the battle.
The Extraterritorial Evil Clan also began to charge out fearlessly, showing no sign of dodging or avoiding, and heading straight for the Continental Allied Army.
In a very short time, dozens of battles broke out between the two sides, ranging from a dozen or so people fighting each other to two or three people entangled in a fierce battle. Everyone was tightly entangled together.
The Continental Allied Army held the advantage on the field, but the humans and beasts under the command of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan were fearless and managed to hold their own, even showing signs of gaining the upper hand.
Xiao Yan was in control of everything; he could act at any time and instantly change the fate of many people. However, he didn't move because he felt something was amiss.
"These guys, they won't even retreat, let alone run away?"
