Chapter 907: What a Coincidence?
Although he kept a low profile, he was still noticed.
There was no helping it.
After all, his wave of attacks had caused quite a commotion.
The Sky King Corps, which had initially held a two-to-one advantage, now found themselves suddenly equal in number, or even...
At a numerical disadvantage!
"Kill him!" Chief Commander Stefa shouted angrily.
The closest eight-winged Venerate swiftly charged at Wang Ye!
Spreading his wings like blades, he unleashed the Spacetime Wing Blade Slash!
Condensing the power of spacetime, the blade light came crashing down!
But Wang Ye, as if he had predicted it, appeared in the gaps between the blade light!
Red and blue lights intertwined, striking the eight-winged Venerate at an unbelievable angle, severely wounding him!
The Spirit-annihilating Impact followed immediately!
Boom! The star core energy blasted out like a cannonball.
With no effort, he obliterated the eight-winged Venerate!
The spacetime domain dissipated, and the once-vigorous eight-winged Venerate fell instantly.
The Sky race experts were shocked.
Boom!
Wang Ye's great path of saint blood erupted!
He didn't want to hide his power!
With Two-headed Four-arms, the aura of the Dark race Ancestral God was fully unleashed!
The crimson soul-destroying thunder, Furious Thunder roared!
His melee attacks were fierce and violent, targeting the eight-winged Sky race members entangled by the Dark race Venerates!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The eight-winged Sky race members tried to dodge.
But this Dark race Eternal seemed born to decipher spacetime secrets!
No spacetime domain could trap him!
Close combat, intense battle!
Dark red lightning struck down, killing them in one wave!
Wang Ye tore through the battlefield like a ghostly assassin!
Wherever he went, no Sky race members survived!
"Be careful! His mastery of spacetime is very high!" Chief Commander Stefa noticed something amiss.
"And you're still distracted," Venerate Ye Chui's killing intent was chilling, his Furious Thunder attack striking down instantly. "Take care of yourself first!"
The combat prowess of a peak Venerate was extraordinary!
Wang Ye went completely berserk!
The two strongest members of the Sky King Corps were entangled.
The remaining ordinary legion commanders were no match for him.
He dominated the battlefield!
The great path of spacetime, which the Sky race excelled in, couldn't restrain him at all.
Their weakness in the great paths of material and energy was exploited mercilessly!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Wang Ye killed them in succession!
The Sky King Corps' numbers dwindled to single digits!
"D*mn it!" Piyebo gritted his teeth.
An Eternal Dark race had ruined their advantageous position!
He wanted to kill this Eternal Dark race, but he was entangled with Venerate Hang.
If this continued, the King Corps might be wiped out!
"Retreat!" Piyebo roared.
A spacetime mirror appeared, overlapping layers.
A massive amount of innate energy fused into it, with various great paths of spacetime converging.
Rumble!
Spacetime exploded violently!
The Sky race experts scattered in all directions, fleeing rapidly.
It was a complete victory!
The Dark race Venerates were overjoyed. They were unable to hide their excitement.
Even Venerate Hang, confident in his ability to defeat the Sky King Corps, hadn't anticipated such a smooth victory!
They had inflicted heavy losses on the Sky King Corps without suffering any damage themselves!
Venerate Hang finally avenged their fallen friends, and the taste of revenge was sweet!
The primary credit for this battle, without a doubt, went to the unassuming Eternal Lord.
All the casualties in the enemy King Corps were his doing!
His combat prowess was exceptional!
His killing ability, even more so!
"Haha, I'm convinced!" Venerate Hang patted his chest and gave Wang Ye a thumbs-up. "A bet's a bet. All the achievement points and spoils from this battle are yours!"
"Don't forget your promise," Wang Ye said with a smile.
"Of course." Venerate Hang raised his head and smiled nostalgically. "Now, my friends killed by the Sky race can rest in peace. I'm satisfied. Whatever the Eternal Lord decides next, I'm at your command."
Wang Ye nodded. "Venerate Hang, can you still sense the Sky King Corps' location?"
"I can only sense the positions of enemies I fought recently," Venerate Hang replied. "I can sense the leading eight-winged Venerate, but the other heavenly warriors have scattered, making it impossible to sense their life force."
"That's good enough," Wang Ye said.
"You're still pursuing them?" Venerate Hang asked in surprise. "That eight-winged Venerate is very powerful. I can only fight him to a draw. Even with our whole team, we might not be able to kill him."
"Then we won't kill him," Wang Ye replied.
"What do you mean?" Venerate Hang asked. He was puzzled.
Wang Ye explained, "We didn't come to the high-dimensional battlefield just to kill the Sky race and earn achievement points."
"Of course," Venerate Hang agreed. "Everyone knows the Sky race came prepared to investigate the Spirit race's whereabouts. While we're stopping their infiltration, we're also looking for clues about the Spirit race. That's the real prize."
"But despite our efforts, we haven't found any clues about the Spirit race," Venerate Hang said.
"It might just be a rumor," someone suggested.
"No, it's true." Wang Ye insisted.
"Why do you say that?" Venerate Ye Chui asked. He was curious.
Wang Ye said, "Because the Sky race has more information than we do. They haven't retreated yet. Instead, the situation seems to be escalating."
"This means they are certain that the Spirit race must be in the second realm."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't take such a huge risk, sending their army deep into our territory."
The Venerates nodded.
They were now at the core edge of the second realm.
"There's also this barbarian beast," Wang Ye said. He took out the barbarian beast's corpse they had found earlier. "What do you find?"
"It was killed," Venerate Hang said.
"Not only that, its barbarian heart is gone," Wang Ye pointed out.
Venerate Ye Chui pondered, "You mean... the barbarian heart, being a rare material, was taken by the Spirit race?"
"Look carefully at the wounds on this barbarian beast," Wang Ye said. "There are no traces of the path of nine calamities or lightning. This means there's a high chance it wasn't killed by us. Besides, we are currently forbidden from killing barbarian beasts."
"It could have been killed by the Sky race," Venerate Hang suggested.
"With the Sky race's spacetime abilities, they could easily evade a barbarian beast," Wang Ye explained. "There's no need for them to waste time and energy, risking exposure, to kill a beast that is of no use to them."
"That's true," Venerate Ye Chui nodded.
"What does this have to do with the fleeing Sky race?" Venerate Hang asked, puzzled. "Do you think they know where the Spirit race is?"
Wang Ye shook his head. "I'm not sure. But since we have no clues, why don't we follow the Sky race, which seems to have more information? We might discover something."
The Venerates nodded.
It made sense.
Instead of running around like headless chickens, it was better to be proactive.
Perhaps they would have unexpected gains?
"Alright, we'll follow your lead!" Venerate Hang agreed heartily.
...
In a desolate mountain forest.
Piyebo sped through the area, using small-scale spacetime translocation to avoid pursuit.
After all, this was the second realm controlled by the Dark race. Even with his high proficiency in spacetime, he didn't dare to recklessly manipulate the law of spacetime.
If a Supreme of the Dark race targeted him, he would be in big trouble.
Even a single Dark race Venerate had already made him look pathetic.
In their first encounter, he had secured a minor victory. His Polo King Corps had relied on their numerical advantage to defeat their opponent.
But he didn't expect to run into them again so quickly!
This time, the enemy was prepared, bringing along an Eternal Lifeform with special abilities.
Although not as strong as he was, this Eternal Lifeform had a special willpower-based killing ability!
In one move, his Polo King Corps was annihilated.
"Indeed, the Nine Calamity Star's Dark race is full of hidden talents," Piyebo sighed.
Although they were enemies, he had to admit that the Dark race's strength was indeed comparable to that of the Sky race.
In the Forest Ancestral Realm, he held a noble bloodline and an extraordinary birth.
As a superior-grade Venerate, he rarely encountered worthy opponents.
He didn't expect to be defeated so quickly on the high-dimensional battlefield.
"It seems this special mission is not meant for me." Piyebo realized.
Now, his priority was no longer to find the target and complete the mission.
Instead, he needed to regroup with the scattered King Corps and reorganize their combat prowess.
His main concern was ensuring they left the second realm with minimal losses.
Opportunities could arise at any time.
But once he perished, he would have nothing left.
Suddenly...
"As expected." Piyebo sensed a familiar presence behind him.
It was the same persistent Dark race Venerate!
He suspected the enemy had a unique talent that allowed them to lock onto his location!
Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to encounter him twice in the vast second realm!
Now, it was the third time!
His entire King Corps had been scattered by this enemy. If they met again...
It would be another fierce battle!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Piyebo quickly maneuvered through spacetime, evading the pursuit.
After a while, he managed to escape again.
"Phew." As he finally settled down, he suddenly sensed a familiar spacetime fluctuation from afar.
Piyebo uttered a small sound of surprise.
The spacetime shifted, and a Sky race Eternal appeared before him.
The two of them looked at each other in surprise.
"You seem familiar..." Piyebo scrutinized the Sky race Eternal, noticing the emblem on his chest. He instantly recognized it. "Nether Ancestral Realm, Tianjia King Corps?"
"Forest Ancestral Realm?" Wang Ye looked at Piyebo in astonishment.
"Have we met before?" Piyebo frowned at Wang Ye.
"I don't recall." Wang Ye shook his head.
When he used the divine treasure Two-headed Four-arms in his Dark race identity, he fought using the great path of saint blood, compatible with the Dark race Ancestral God.
Now, he was equipped differently, paired with the holy four-winged sky wheel, emitting the sky wheel's aura.
His energy was entirely different from before.
The only constant was that he remained an Eternal Lifeform.
"I am the sixth legion commander of the Sille Little King Corps. I got separated from my team after a battle." Wang Ye introduced himself. He knew the sky wheel and King Corps emblem would serve as proof of his identity.
This was also a good time to probe.
Piyebo examined the emblem carefully again. After confirming it, he nodded. "I am the Young Master of the Polo King Corps. I just experienced a fierce battle and, like you, got separated from my team."
"What a coincidence?" Wang Ye chuckled, then his expression changed suddenly. "There's a Dark race member!"
Piyebo glanced back and sighed, "I've been marked by a Dark race Venerate."
"I see." Wang Ye understood. "That's simple."
He unleashed the Life Great Path, enveloping Piyebo in a green glow.
A surge of life force covered them.
As his life aura changed, Piyebo's energy quickly recovered. His spirits lifted, and he showed a look of joy.
"Let's go!" Wang Ye and Piyebo exchanged a glance.
The spacetime shifted, and they swiftly departed!
