"Child, you should step back for now. While we're still able to move, I'll buy you some time to recover your strength." Xue Yifan said to Guo Ran and the others.
"But didn't the boss say ...?"
Guo Ran and the others hesitated. After all, these elders were the backbone of the human race in the Moluo Star Domain, and even their spiritual leaders. If anything happened to them, human morale would suffer greatly.
Moreover, the experts of the Moluo Star Domain are different from those from outsiders; higher cultivation does not necessarily mean stronger combat power.
Their combat strength was also related to their vital energy. Although Xue Yifan and the others had high cultivation levels, their vitality had already dried up. Occasional attacks were fine, but such intense combat would drain their vital energy and shorten their lifespans. Many of them already had little time left, so sending them to the battlefield was no different from sending them to their deaths.
"When the general is away, the emperor's orders may not be obeyed. Plans can't change quickly. Retreat quickly and adjust your situation. The enemy is strong and needs to prepare for a prolonged battle." Xue Yifan smiled and patted Guo Ran on the shoulder, completely unconcerned about the bloodstains on him.
"But..." Guo Ran hesitated.
"There's nothing to say. The battlefield isn't just yours—it's ours too. Do you really think we old folks are useless?" The ancestor of the Qianyuan Sect shouted angrily.
"When we were dominating the world, your grandfather hadn't even been born yet. Stop wasting words, hurry up and adjust. Next, it's time for us to stretch our muscles." Another half-step Divine Venerable elder shouted.
"Good child, don't hesitate. I didn't misjudge you. Deep down, you're just like your boss—fearless and upright.
You are heroes, but we're not cowards either. We don't have much time to buy for you. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least consider the soldiers under your command. Xue Yifan looked at Guo Ran and said.
Hearing Xue Yifan say this, Guo Ran's eyes instantly turned red when he saw the smile on his face.
"Good child, get some rest. The fierce battle is still ahead." After Xue Yifan finished speaking, the golden armor slowly covered his body, his majestic aura like the rising sun, illuminating the world.
"Kill!"
The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect had long been impatient. With a sharp shout, his battle armor burst forth with dazzling divine light. The pressure of a half-step Divine Venerable erupted, charging toward the Moluo clan's army.
"Boom boom boom... The
terrifying power of the half-step Divine Sovereign experts finally manifested at this moment. The Mo Luo clan warriors fell in waves, half-step Divine Sovereign experts unleashing their full firepower, like war gods descending, invincible wherever they went.
"Hahaha, today I'm going to kill to my heart's content. You beasts of the Moluo clan, today I want you to pay blood for my brothers from years ago. All the years of hatred will be settled together." The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect roared in fury, like a furious lion, as if returning to the days of war on the battlefield.
In his voice, there was pain, resentment, remembrance, and reluctance. Those who once fought alongside him were all gone, and now he was left all alone.
"Brothers, I'm here to avenge you!"
The ancestor of Qianyuan Sect, clad in battle armor, roared in fury, his divine weapon pointing to the sky, unleashing his full power, facing the endless Moluo clan with all his might.
"Puff puff puff... The
half-step Divine Venerable realm expert struck with all his might. With a single sword strike, the Moluo clan warriors fell in waves, and people finally witnessed the terror of a half-step Divine Venerable-level expert.
The nine half-step Divine Venerable-level experts attacked with full force, launching massive attacks that instantly took over the entire battlefield. The pressure on the Galaxy Warriors vanished instantly, finally giving them a chance to catch their breath.
Seeing these ancestors display their might, slaughtering the demon clan in a crushing fashion, no one cheered; instead, everyone wore sorrowful expressions.
Guo Ran was even more moved to tears. Xue Yifan and the others burned their lifespans to regain their vital energy and blood, unleashing their full power.
They were already old and had limited lifespans. They were using their lives to buy time for everyone, and after this battle, they probably wouldn't live much longer.
Xie Liuer, Leng Hui, Tu Hu, Xie Qianqian, and those Galaxy Warriors also cried.
"Don't cry. Hurry up and recover your strength, repair the battle armor runes, and charge your armor." Guo Ran shouted, his voice tinged with tears.
At this moment, a flying vessel arrived, providing the necessary materials to quickly repair the armor, and any damaged parts needed to be replaced promptly.
Some Galaxy Warriors had armor that was almost completely destroyed, relying solely on their flesh and blood to fight the enemy head-on, showing just how brutal their battle situation was.
Nine ancestors attacked simultaneously, and with the support of the grand formation and warships in the rear, the Star River Warriors gained a precious chance to catch their breath. They repaired their armor, swallowed pills to boost their strength, and kept their eyes fixed ahead.
On the battlefield between Long Chen and Moluo Tianye, the two could no longer be seen. Only endless black and purple mist intertwined, occasionally thundering like explosions, torrents surging, and the world roaring. People could not approach that battlefield, let alone know what was happening inside.
But seeing the two forces collide wildly, their momentum growing stronger and stronger, as if both possessed boundless strength. For a moment, it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand.
The battlefield between the two had now become a deadly battlefield. No one intervened in their war. The Moluo clan had no experts to support Moluo Tianye, and the humans had no one to support Long Chen. The battle between the two was a true battle of kings, and their victory or defeat was the key to this war.
But the humans were still at an absolute disadvantage, because the Moluo clan and magical beasts kept arriving endlessly, seemingly endless.
And the human warriors were only so many; they had no reinforcements or retreat, and could only rely on themselves.
"Guo Ran, why don't we secretly charge into Boss Long Chen's battlefield and join forces to lend him a hand. As long as we take out Moluo Tianye, everything will be over." Leng Hui whispered to Guo Ran.
As soon as he said this, Xie Liuer, Tu Hu, Xie Qianqian, and the other top prodigies from the sect were all moved. This was the fastest way to end the war.
If Long Chen loses, then it's truly over. It's better to sneak in now, unite everyone's strength, and cooperate with Long Chen—there's a good chance to take down Moluo Tianye.
"You underestimate Moluo Tianye. Someone of this level is completely unafraid of group battles.
If we go there, Moluo Tianye will just take them out one by one, unable to help at all, and it will only distract the boss. Guo Ran shook his head.
"But I'm worried... Xie Liuer looked at the terrifying space in the distance, her voice deeply concerned.
"Don't worry, I won't say anything else. As long as you're of the same rank, within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, no one can beat the boss. It's only a matter of time before the boss wins..."
Rumble...
Suddenly, behind the magical beast army, the void trembled, and the terrifying fluctuations sent shivers down everyone's spines.
"Not good, they're in the passage." Guo Ran's expression changed instantly.
