Chapter 113: The War
Earlier, in Jiang Yun's small world, which was now filled with leaders from various races across the universe, they had gathered to discuss plans for escaping the Tianyuan Universe. Chang Tong looked around the tense atmosphere and spoke with concern in his voice, "How are we supposed to escape?"
The Elder Protector of the Fallen Heaven Blood Sect replied firmly, "We will use 5 million warships to fly through the void toward the edge of the Tianyuan Universe. Then, our sect leader will use a teleportation formation to breach the boundary of the Tianyuan Universe. These ships, all created by the Fallen Heaven Blood Sect, will serve as weapons of Immortal Emperor-level power."
Bai Hu, the leader of the White Tiger Clan, questioned skeptically, "Why don't we just stay in this small world and let Jiang Yun head for the edge of the universe on his own?"
The Elder Protector sighed and explained, "If the sect leader dies, everyone in this small world will die as well. Moreover, why should our sect leader bear all the risk alone just to ensure your survival?"
The atmosphere in the meeting room grew tense immediately. Many leaders began to grasp the harsh reality that Jiang Yun had brought them to Tianyuan to use them as bait to distract the blood ants. Yet no one dared to voice these thoughts openly, as they had already been given a small chance of survival by Jiang Yun, slim though it might be.
Everyone present knew there was no other option. They had all signed a celestial blood contract, which would ensure that any broken promises would result in the immediate destruction of their race. Silently, they nodded in agreement and kept their dissatisfaction to themselves.
Afterward, a lottery was held to assign each race their position within the fleet. While some were displeased with being placed in more dangerous zones, none dared to protest. They all hurried off to make their preparations.
At present, the 5 million warships sped swiftly through the quiet void. Though the outside seemed calm, inside each vessel, the various races were on high alert. They gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes scanning the dark emptiness ahead, ready for any possible confrontation.
Jiang Yun stood at the helm of the lead ship, gazing into the void. His voice was cold as he spoke, "Our goal is to reach the edge of the universe, break through the boundary with the teleportation formation... and..."
Suddenly, Jiang Yun's words trailed off. His eyes narrowed as he sensed something off in the void. He raised his hand, summoning millions of Void Swords before slashing them into the space ahead. A deafening explosion echoed as the void shattered, revealing a massive swarm of blood ants lying in wait.
Among them was Xue Houyi, the Blood Ant Queen. She let out a cold laugh, "Leaving without saying goodbye, are we?"
Jiang Yun sneered, "Say goodbye? You're flattering yourself!" With those words, he charged straight at Xue Houyi. His Void Power clashed violently with her Dream Power, causing the surrounding space to quake as if the entire universe were on the verge of collapsing.
The sound of their battle marked the beginning of an all-out war. Countless blood ants surged toward the warships, but the strong protective barriers and coordinated efforts of the various races kept most of the ants at bay.
However, as the battle dragged on, the sheer number of blood ants became overwhelming. Some ships, lacking enough powerful defenders, began to fall under the assault of demigod-level blood ants or royal ants.
Explosions rang out in all directions. Several ships were blown apart in the void, and the surviving crew members were mercilessly slaughtered by the ravenous blood ants, feeding on their fear and despair.
Screams of hopelessness filled the battlefield as nearby ships turned to witness the gruesome sight of the blood ants devouring the survivors of the destroyed vessels. But suddenly, a massive fireball crashed into the swarming ants, incinerating several demigod-level creatures.
Feng Yang stood firm on his ship, gripping his Phoenix Scythe of Death tightly. He watched the flames consuming the enemy ship and muttered indifferently, "These creatures are annoyingly tough to kill..."
Before he could finish, a sharp blade of energy streaked toward his ship, followed by the roar of thunder in the void. Feng Yang quickly swung his scythe to block the incoming attack, deflecting it just in time.
"Terrifying..." he muttered with a cold smile.
As every ship fought desperately, chaos spread across the battlefield. Their hope of escaping began to fade as the brutal fight for survival wore on. The endless swarm of blood ants continued to overwhelm them, and tens of thousands of ships had already been destroyed.
"We haven't even made it halfway..." Feng Yang thought as he glanced into the dark expanse ahead.
On another ship, Feng Yi calmly commanded her forces. Despite the immense pressure from the enemy, her army moved with precise coordination. Her tactical planning was paying off in this dire situation. Her soldiers fought with efficiency, cutting down waves of blood ants.
"Hold steady, everyone! We will make it through this!" Feng Yi's voice echoed through the battlefield as she watched her soldiers cut through the blood ants.
The warships continued pressing forward, fighting through countless enemies. Each soldier's spirit burned with determination. They knew that even the slightest mistake would result in their deaths.
Suddenly, Feng Yi noticed something terrifying on the horizon. A massive dark mass was growing larger and larger. She stared in shock as she realized it wasn't just darkness—thousands of planets were hurtling toward their fleet at incredible speed.
"This is bad!" Feng Yi exclaimed in panic. Before she could take action, a mysterious voice spoke behind her.
"Do your part. I'll handle those." The voice startled her, but as she turned, she saw Ling Meng, Emperor of the Spirit World, standing amidst a surge of powerful spiritual energy.
Ling Meng smiled faintly and gazed at the enormous planets hurtling toward them. He spoke a single word with commanding authority, "Explode."
Instantly, the planets began to tremble. Amidst a deafening roar, the power of Ling Meng's command caused the planets to start disintegrating from within.
But before Ling Meng could complete his task, several top-tier demigod-level blood ant soldiers rushed toward him at high speed, launching a powerful and swift attack. Ling Meng attempted to defend himself, but if he stopped using his Dream Power to finish off the planets, the warships behind him would surely be destroyed, dooming all those aboard.
As the situation grew more perilous, a soft tremor sounded from the darkness. A rift opened wide and immediately swallowed the arms of the blood ant soldiers attacking Ling Meng. The ants shrieked in pain but quickly severed their own arms to retreat.
Suddenly, a brilliant and intense beam of light shot through the void, piercing through several demigod-level blood ants, disintegrating their bodies in an instant.
