A Battle with Unprecedented Resources, Deploying the Defenses

Upon hearing the truth about Liu Yi's ability to reverse time, return to High Antiquity, and suppress demons, Ye Qingxue's heart was filled with turbulent emotions, and she could no longer maintain her usual aloof and ethereal fairy demeanor.

"Too strong... How can Liu Yi be so powerful?"

With only the Martial Lord level of a Demon Emperor, he was able to interfere with the past, not only suppressing a Demon Emperor but also withstanding the terrifying causal backlash.

Such strength is beyond reason; even as Dao Ancestor, he shouldn't be this ridiculously strong.

How exactly did he do it?

Filled with doubt, she realized with bewilderment that her sole desire was to catch up with the other person.

Now, it's probably impossible to even catch a glimpse of his back; the chasm between the two is so vast that it leaves one feeling utterly powerless.

Although she has broadened the Immortal Cultivation System and become Dao Ancestor, the gap between her and Liu Yi, who created the Dao Seed Martial Dao System, is still enormous.

Could it be that all the founders of the Dao possessed such power?

As far as she knew, even the Dao Ancestor Cang Hong in the Immortal Cultivation System was not as outrageous as Liu Yi.

It's obvious that Liu Yi is the special one.

After a long silence, Ye Qingxue sighed softly.

"Since one can reach such a height at the Martial Lord Realm, then I will take Liu Yi as my target and strive to achieve the same strength at the Immortal Lord Realm."

Her spirits lifted, and she looked up again, her eyes blazing with an even stronger fighting spirit.

Upon hearing the truth about Liu Yi's ability to reverse time, return to High Antiquity, and personally suppress the Demon Emperor, Chen Jie couldn't help but gasp in shock.

He had previously thought that Liu Yi was the reincarnation of High Antiquity powerhouse, which was why he possessed such terrifying strength.

He secretly planned that once the opponent's past life's resources were exhausted, he would still have a chance to compete with them.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

Not only was Liu Yi not a reincarnation of High Antiquity powerhouse, but he also interfered with the past in his present form, and forcibly bore the karmic backlash.

Such methods are beyond the realm of common sense and can be described as defying the heavens.

His previous idea of competing with the other party was truly overestimating his own abilities.

Such an extraordinary person is beyond his current ability to compare with; insisting on competing with him will only bring him humiliation.

He silently made up his mind.

Let's not take Liu Yi as a competitor for now. Trying to match such an extraordinary being is just asking for trouble.

From now on, they will compete with powerful figures such as Bai Qianqian, Ye Qingxue, Xu Cheng'an, Jian Lingxu, and Yue Ji, at least they can still see hope.

Even if it were Yue Ji, who had been rebuilt by the Immortal King, Chen Jie was confident he could surpass her.

However, when facing Liu Yi, he had been completely suppressed since he began his cultivation. He couldn't even withstand a few moves from Liu Yi. Liu Yi's strength was far beyond his comprehension.

However, if he were to reach the Immortal Emperor Realm in the future, he might have a chance to compete with Liu Yi.

Thinking of this, a renewed fighting spirit rekindled in his eyes.

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Yue Ji smiled slightly and coughed lightly, snapping the cultivators out of their astonishment:

"Fellow Daoists, the Devil Race army is pressing in, do not be distracted."

These surging Devil Beast are nothing more than cannon fodder used by the Devil Race to test the strength of the formation. Let's wipe them out first.

The Immortal King Suming then spoke up, "Taiyin, you may not know this, but we speculate that the core purpose of this large-scale invasion by the Devil Race is to rescue the Blood God who has been suppressed."

The group had just agreed on a strategy to defend against the enemy, relying on the great formation for defense, while also having all the cultivators take turns guarding the formation to resist the Devil Race.

This arrangement avoids cultivators crowding together and leaving no one to rest, while also giving everyone the opportunity to slay Devil Creature and gain Merit, all while allowing them to focus on their cultivation.

Moreover, the longer the situation drags on, the more advantageous it will be for us.

Once everyone's cultivation reaches the Immortal Lord level, or even possesses the strength to contend with an Immortal Emperor, then they can take the initiative and launch a full-scale counterattack against the Devil Race.

Yue Ji scanned the entire scene with her Divine Sense, secretly marveling to herself.

More than 50,000 Immortal King have gathered here, and the number of True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal has exceeded 100 billion, with cultivators still arriving in droves.

She couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying power of universal cultivation, which completely eliminated the predicament of a shortage of cultivators and insufficient combat power in High Antiquity times.

In the High Antiquity war, the number of cultivators in the Azure Billows Realm was far inferior to that of the Devil Race. Countless cultivators were outnumbered and were surrounded and killed.

This is the first time she has encountered such a situation where the quantity and quality of cultivators are abundant.

She has never fought such a rich war!

Yue Ji nodded in approval. "Your arrangements are sound and thorough. Having so many people take turns guarding the formation is indeed the best method."

The group immediately gathered to discuss and finalize a detailed rotation and combat plan.

Half an hour later, the defense plan was finalized.

The cultivators were divided into five battle teams, each equipped with 10,000 Immortal King, 20 billion Heavenly Immortal, and True Immortal cultivators.

The remaining cultivators were incorporated into the reserve force to fill any gaps caused by battle losses; if the number of cultivators reaches the required level again, a sixth battle team can be added.

Each team is stationed at the formation for two years, after which they rotate to rest and regroup, and then take turns stationing at the formation.

Among them, cultivators from the Hundred Races of High Antiquity were directly incorporated into the First Battle Team.

Despite being Martial Lord master, Yue Ji was not assigned to a battle team, but was instead designated as a mobile combat force on standby.

Once the Devil Race sends out a powerful Devil Lord lord, she will deal with him and stabilize the battle.

At the same time, all participating cultivators were added to a Microchat group for easy communication and immediate assistance.

If any team is unable to hold out, they can send a request for help in the group chat, Yu Zhan can quickly come to their aid.

The five main teams also established their own dedicated Microchat groups for internal coordination, tactical planning, and issuing combat orders.

At the same time, the Immortal King will work together to deduce battle formations and lead all participating cultivators in practicing battle formations to improve overall combat capabilities.

The group also agreed to conduct battle drills in the Virtual World to improve their teamwork and to simulate Devil Race attack to get used to the rhythm of offense and defense in advance.

Currently, the Devil Race has only sent Devil Beast to test their strength. The group has agreed that each team will first send out Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal in batches to kill the Devil Beast.

The Immortal King secretly oversaw the operation, deliberately concealing his top-tier combat power to prevent the Devil Race from uncovering his true strength.

Subsequently, apart from the first team stationed in the first round,

The remaining cultivators all returned to the Land of Exile or the Azure Billows Realm through the spatial portal to rest and await orders.

The entire first team lined up and entered the vast Fakong derived from the Chaos Celestial Stars Grand Formation.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao granted cultivators of the Azure Billows Realm the right to freely pass through the formation; otherwise, they would have been attacked upon entering.

Ten thousand Immortal King lay hidden in the shadows, waiting for the Devil King- level powerhouse of the Devil Race to appear before making their move.

The 20 billion Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal were divided into 200 teams, each with 100 million people, to take turns clearing out the Devil Beast that had invaded the formation.

The first squad quickly formed battle formation and charged out with boundless enthusiasm. No one felt fear; their fighting spirit was boiling, and they shouted excitedly:

"Hahaha! The opportunity to gain Merit by slaying Devil Beast has arrived, everyone, don't steal monsters!"

"I used to be able to kill Devil Creature in the Virtual World, but today I can finally kill Devil Beast in reality."

"Merit, my Merit! Devil Beast, don't run away, you are all my Merit."

"Devil Beast, I need your help in my cultivation."

"Mine, mine, all mine!"
