266: The earth swallows them all and kills them all

The next second, as if by telepathy, both sides charged at each other.

Battle was imminent.

Yang Qianhun, along with the three generals General Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang, led the charge.

Yang Qianhun was already an Eighth-Tier Spirit General, so the First-Tier Spirit Silver Iron Beasts posed no threat to him.

In just a few seconds, the two sides met.

Yang Qianhun, holding the Golden Scale Sacred Sword, plunged into the horde of Silver Iron Beasts, standing alone in their ocean. His figure appeared solitary yet resolute amidst the countless Silver Iron Beasts surrounding him. The air was thick with the smell of rust, and every breath carried a sense of oppression.

The Silver Iron Beasts roared madly, their sharp claws gleaming with a cold light. They surged towards Yang Qianhun like a tide, the sound of their iron armor rubbing together like a sharp, grating symphony.

Facing this seemingly endless army of Silver Iron Beasts, Yang Qianhun's eyes showed no fear.

"Let me show you what a difference in strength looks like."

He took a deep breath, gripping the Golden Scale Sacred Sword tightly, its tip pointing towards the ground, as if drawing power from the earth.

Countless earth-yellow spiritual energy emerged from the ground, frantically surging into Yang Qianhun's body and sword.

The next second, the Golden Scale Sacred Sword in Yang Qianhun's hand cut an dazzling golden arc, accompanied by the whistling of sword qi, instantly cutting down several Silver Iron Beasts. The Silver Iron Beasts lunged, but Yang Qianhun's movements were as fast as lightning; he moved left and right, sometimes leaping, sometimes diving, each sword swing taking the life of one or several Silver Iron Beasts.

However, the numerical advantage gradually became apparent. Although Silver Iron Beasts fell one by one, they still charged at Yang Qianhun relentlessly.

Just as Yang Qianhun seemed to be surrounded, the ground suddenly vibrated, and a powerful spiritual energy surged from underground, forming a massive earth-yellow energy field.

"Earth Devour!"

Yang Qianhun roared, unleashing a fierce sword strike, and a golden sword qi spread out, instantly cutting hundreds of Silver Iron Beasts in half.

At the same time, the Silver Iron Beasts enveloped within the energy field seemed to turn to stone, instantly pulverizing and disappearing.

In an instant, thousands of Silver Iron Beasts were cut down by Yang Qianhun on the spot, utterly defenseless.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

General Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang, the three generals, charged into the Silver Iron Beasts, a spear, a halberd, and an axe brandishing across the entire battlefield.

The vast disparity in strength was fully evident.

"This level of strength? And you think you can hurt me?" General Zhao Yun looked unperturbed, skillfully dodging every attack from the Silver Iron Beasts with his long spear, light as a swallow.

He retaliated with a spear thrust, instantly piercing the iron-hard Silver Iron Beast.

Then, he directly swung it, and the dead Silver Iron Beast was flung away, crashing into other Silver Iron Beasts.

Several more spear thrusts followed, cold light flashing, and a large number of Silver Iron Beasts fell to the ground, unmoving.

And wherever Zhang Liao and Xu Huang passed, the Silver Iron Beasts were no match at all.

They were basically killed in one move.

The two hundred thousand Black Iron Beasts directly confronted Yang Qianhun's Soldiers.

The twenty thousand Strong Archers still took the initiative, unleashing their Spirit Skill: Piercing Arrow.

They instantly shot down nearly fifty thousand Black Iron Beasts.

Four hundred thousand Death Warriors surged towards the Black Iron Beast army, but due to the disparity in strength, the Death Warriors struggled in one-on-one combat.

They could only rely on their numerical advantage to barely fight the Black Iron Beast army.

Fortunately, the Shadow Guard, Magic Wolf Knight, and Double Halberd Guards, the three major troop types, attacked from both flanks, like a sharp knife, plunging directly into the vital points of the Black Iron Beast army.

They routed the enemy, throwing their formation into chaos.

The two sides clashed, blood and flesh flying, the scene extremely brutal.

In a short time, the ten thousand Silver Iron Beasts were completely annihilated by Yang Qianhun and the three generals.

With the addition of Yang Qianhun and the generals, the number of the two hundred thousand Black Iron Beast army decreased at a visible rate.

After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, Yang Qianhun led his generals and Soldiers to completely annihilate the two hundred thousand Black Iron Beasts.

The ten thousand Silver Iron Beasts and two hundred thousand Black Iron Beasts were completely eliminated, turning into specks of light and disappearing.

Only forty thousand purple light clusters and six hundred thousand blue light clusters remained floating.

On Yang Qianhun's side, one hundred thousand Death Warriors, three thousand Double Halberd Guards, and two thousand Shadow Guard were killed.

In this battle, all of his Soldiers made breakthroughs.

With a thought, Yang Qianhun kept the conscription orders in his hand and put everything else into his spatial bag.

The forty thousand purple light clusters yielded the following resources and treasures:

recruitment order (shadow guard) * 2400

recruitment order (double halberd guard) * 2400

recruitment order (strong archer) * 2000

Rare Electromagnetic Tower blueprint * 2000

spirit enhancement pill * 1200

copper block * 1000000

spirit stone * 2000000

The six hundred thousand blue light clusters yielded the following resources and treasures:

undead conscription order * 10000

advanced arrow tower blueprint * 1000

advanced return scroll * 1000

greater restoration pill * 44000

greater rejuvenation pill * 34000

blue spirit fruit * 10000

copper block * 2000000

spirit stone * 1000000

five million blocks of iron, five million portions of food, five million blocks of wood, and five million blocks of stone.

Subsequently, Yang Qianhun used 16,800 conscription orders to summon 200,000 Death Warriors, 48,000 Shadow Guard, 48,000 Double Halberd Guards, and 40,000 Strong Archer.

Pleasingly, another 10,000 blue spirit fruit were dropped.

Within the sixth floor of the Stone Tower, peace returned. In the vast space, the stone tablet on the platform faintly glowed.

Red numbers reappeared on the surface of the stone tablet.

Yang Qianhun looked at the timer on the stone.

3600... 3599... 3598... 3597... 3596... 3595... 3594... 3593... 3592... 3591... 3590... 3589...

This time, it was still a full sixty-minute countdown. When the countdown ended, everyone would be teleported to the seventh floor.

Yang Qianhun ordered General Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and the other generals and Soldiers to rest on the spot.

He also took out 10,000 Advanced Grade greater rejuvenation pill and 10,000 Advanced Grade greater restoration pill from his spatial bag and handed them over to the three generals to distribute to the Soldiers who needed them.

Then, he pulled out ten thousand blue spirit fruit from his spatial bag and popped them into his mouth one after another, as if they cost nothing.

The blue spirit fruit were fragrant and melted in his mouth, transforming into wisps of spiritual energy that flowed like rivers into the ocean of Yang Qianhun's spirit sea.

In less than sixty minutes, Yang Qianhun finished all ten thousand blue spirit fruit, which all transformed into spiritual energy and merged into his spirit sea.
