Within the Amethyst Space, Lei Jialie used his innate divine ability to suppress over a hundred Midgods while continually exchanging blows with Aosijiade.
With over a hundred Midgods to suppress, Lei Jialie could not use his full strength, so for the moment, he and Aosijiade traded blows evenly.
"I'll kill you today! You actually dared to ambush me! No one can save you today. Die! Red Flame!" Aosijiade roared furiously, unleashing his ultimate move.
Perhaps because he cultivated the Fire Elemental Law, his temper was extremely explosive.
Flames clung to his fist as he shot toward Lei Jialie at tremendous speed, punching at his face.
Not to be outdone, Lei Jialie also swung his fist at Aosijiade.
After a single clash of fists, the purple figure flew backward. With shock written across his face, Lei Jialie stared at Aosijiade and said in disbelief, "How are you so powerful? How could..."
Lei Jialie could rack his brains and still never understand why someone whose strength was clearly no less than his own would submit to someone else. Didn't that mean the Demon King was even stronger?
Putting those thoughts aside, Lei Jialie swiftly darted away from Aosijiade's fist. He had discovered that Aosijiade was extremely powerful, but not particularly fast-slightly slower than him. Within the Amethyst Space, however, he was always much faster than his enemies.
Using the Amethyst Space's repulsive force, which worked in every direction without a single blind spot, Lei Jialie had already landed several punches on Aosijiade, but none had done much damage.
Lei Jialie had quite a headache now. Although he was an Amethyst Sacred Beast with an innately powerful soul, his insights into both the Destruction Rule and the Laws of the Earth leaned toward Material Attacks. His understanding of Soul Attacks could be considered very weak.
Lei Jialie wanted to dispose of the hundred or so Midgods first, then fight this man with all his strength.
But whenever he had that thought, Aosijiade would stop attacking and never stray too far from the group of Midgods.
A stalemate developed within the Amethyst Space, giving Lei Jialie time to sweep the battlefield outside with his divine sense. Apart from six surviving Midgods, everyone on his side was dead.
The enemy had also lost nearly a thousand Lowgods. After all, ten Midgods had still inflicted considerable damage.
Over four thousand Lowgods chased six Midgods all across the sky. Fortunately, Midgods were faster than Lowgods, or they would have been wiped out long ago.
Judging by the current situation, they were not far from death anyway. After all, they could only keep dodging. How long could they evade their pursuers?
Lei Jialie was extremely frustrated as well. The main problem was that he had underestimated this man's strength, never expecting him to be on par with himself. That had led to the current situation. He had intended to quickly finish off those within the Amethyst Space, then go out to help, but instead, he had been tied down.
Now he could only hope Zijing and the others would arrive as soon as possible!
Otherwise, if those four thousand-plus Lowgods attacked the Amethyst Space together in a little while, he would have quite a hard time dealing with it.
The seed of Legion Warfare had also been planted in Lei Jialie's mind. He had to recruit more Deities. Below the Highgod level, numbers still mattered. With enough of them, even a Highgod could be surrounded and killed.
Some might ask: Rhodes was a transmigrator, so didn't he know how powerful Legion Warfare was?
For those who had read the original novel, their greatest concern was the protagonist and those around him. Who would care about the Sovereign Legions, which received only a passing mention in the original? After all, the original protagonist had never feared human-wave tactics.
In the few short centuries after Linley became a Deity, he had never feared running out of divine power. Whenever he encountered an enemy, he could fight. But reality was different. Lowgods had tremendous difficulty absorbing divine power, and Midgods absorbed it very slowly as well.
Even Rhodes, who used Willpower to increase his absorption speed, could only absorb divine power as quickly as he expended it in battle.
And over the countless eons to come, battlefields would fall into only two types: clashes between powerful individuals at the highest level, and collective warfare between legions.
"Amethyst Space!" A pleasant female voice rang out, and the thousands of Lowgods pursuing and slashing at four Midgods were all enveloped in purple light.
In that brief time, another two of the Alliance's six remaining Midgods had died.
"Whew!"
The four surviving Midgods could not help exhaling in relief. There had simply been too many enemies. Otherwise, they would at least have fought back.
All the Midgods who had followed Zijing charged into the Amethyst Space and began slaughtering the Lowgods, who were pinned motionless by its repulsive force.
A single slash of a Material Attack killed a whole swath of Lowgods. It truly was a case of "standing still and letting you cut me down!"
A minute later, the Amethyst Space dissipated. With a wave of her hand, Zijing collected the Divine Sparks and divine artifacts filling the sky, then flew into the Amethyst Space her husband Lei Jialie had unleashed.
Having watched through his divine sense as Zijing worked with the Alliance's Deities to wipe out all the Lowgods, Lei Jialie finally showed a faint smile.
Then he looked back at Aosijiade, who stood in front of the Midgods. His smile vanished, replaced by an icy expression as he stared at Aosijiade with eyes that seemed filled with boundless killing intent.
Aosijiade, however, knew nothing of what was happening outside. His divine sense could not extend beyond the Amethyst Space, so he simply stopped wasting his soul power.
Although trapped within the Amethyst Space, Aosijiade was not panicked in the slightest. On the contrary, he was very confident. With as many as five thousand Lowgods outside, killing ten Midgods and a hundred Lowgods should be fairly easy.
He was also waiting for his subordinates to break this purple sphere from the outside. After exchanging blows, Aosijiade had realized that the opposing Highgod was evenly matched with him, but this man's divine ability was far too effective at countering someone already as slow as himself.
In a real fight, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Unfortunately, what Aosijiade did not know was that when Lei Jialie received the news and hurried over, he had sent someone to notify Zijing. He had also sent messages to Rhodes and Pash, asking them to watch over his home for the time being and not let anyone raid it.
Because of Lei Jialie's caution, Zijing had arrived especially quickly. After dealing with the Lowgods, she flew into the Amethyst Space Lei Jialie had released.
When Aosijiade saw another Highgod arrive, his expression turned extremely ugly. He reckoned that his subordinates outside were most likely doomed.
Aosijiade was extremely confident in his own strength. He believed that even if two Highgods attacked him together, he would only be defeated, not killed.
The instant Lei Jialie saw Zijing, husband and wife exchanged a glance, and Zijing understood what her husband meant.
A beam of purple light spread outward from Zijing, enveloping Aosijiade and the others.
Seeing another identical purple light descending upon them, the Midgods, who had already been pressed almost completely immobile, despaired. They felt they were finished.
Unexpectedly, although another layer of purple light covered them, the repulsive, attractive, and gravitational forces did not grow stronger. Instead, they felt much less pressure than before.
It turned out that once Zijing's Amethyst Space enveloped Aosijiade and the others, Lei Jialie withdrew his innate divine ability, leaving Zijing to keep them under control while he fought Aosijiade at full strength.
This man had an extremely deep understanding of the profound mysteries of fire. His explosive power and offensive strength were even slightly greater than the force of Rhodes's Material Attacks when Lei Jialie sparred with him.
Moreover, his attacks differed from Rhodes's. His were purely Material Attacks, with terrifying offensive power.
Every one of Rhodes's attacks contained both a Material Attack and a Soul Attack, forcing his opponent to guard against both. The slightest lapse in attention could easily lead to injury or death.
Lei Jialie transformed into a streak of purple light and charged at Aosijiade.
