"Yes, I accept," replied Huang Yuan directly.
"Oh, so simple," said Mo Xingyun, not hiding the surprise in her voice. "I thought I would have to convince you and even pay extravagantly before you agreed."
"Do you want me to fight with you and waste time?"
"Of course not," she said with a smile. "After all, I don't want our alliance to break down before accomplishing our goal."
Mo Xingyun could not help but sigh at her bad luck. Fang Lijuan and Song Jiaolong died before the final battle, thus drastically weakening their alliance.
'These two were great pawns; it's a shame for their early death,' she thought; she had many plans on how to use these two pawns to the fullest of their ability.
"Time is of the essence, so send me the thing you promised. I will give you a coordinate."
Mo Xingyin frowned.
"Is there a problem?" said Huang Yuan with an ugly expression. "I won't accept your proposal without what you promised me."
"No, I just found your eagerness a little suspicious."
"You don't need to care. So, are you sending it or not?"
She paused for a few seconds before smiling, "No problem."
Mo Xingyun waved her hand to teleport something to the location given by Huang Yuan. The latter disappeared from the screen for at least 30 minutes before reappearing.
"No problem."
"In that case, we can begin with the first step," continued Mo Xingyun. "Remember to be careful and run if you can't succeed."
"Don't be hypocritical, Mo XIngyun. We both know you don't care about my safety."
"Yes, I don't. But you are currently worth more alive than dead. And if you ruin my plan because of your carelessness, I won't hesitate to eliminate you at all costs."
Huang Yuan squinted his eyes, " I will be careful." He terminated the Communication Array, leaving only Chen Chen and Mo Xingyun.
"Prepare for the second step once he finishes."
Chen Chen nodded his head; Mo Xingyun could see he was uncomfortable talking. So, she also closed the array. She sat on top of a mountain on a planet, lost in her thought. No one knew what the Eternal Emperor was thinking.
A few minutes later, she raised her head to look above. Her eyes ignored the vast difference in this cosmic universe, checking everything that was occurring in the different Quadrants. Except with a few places with decent formations, she saw the chaos and madness of this battlefield.
Huang Yuan ended the communication before sneering.
"Mo Xingyun, you think you can use me as a pawn, but we will see who uses who." He spent a few hours preparing before heading to another Quadrant.
Eastern Quadrant:
Li Jun stabbed his spear, killing a loose cultivator that tried to explode and perish with him.
"Why do I feel more people are participating in this battle than there should be?"
"Didn't you read the report?" asked Tie Gang.
"What report?"
"The report from the Fate Shadow Guard."
Li Jun frowned before shaking his head, "I must not have read."
"Yes, you were too focused on subduing that weapon," nodded Tie Gang.
"So, what happened?"
"You remember how the boss allowed many Heaven Chosen to die during the Clean-up?"
"Yes, these people did not meet Heavenly Dao's standard, so big brother allowed the foreign Heaven Chosens to hunt them down."
"Well, Heavenly Dao played dirty and distributed these people's Entrance Tokens throughout the world. Although most of these tokens cannot even bring 2 million troops, many people fought for them."
"Is that so?" uttered Li Jun.
"And that's not all. According to Wang Ju's analysis, some talented genius who woke up at the last minute might infiltrate this battlefield by posing as 'soldiers' from people with Entrance Tokens."
Li Jun shook his head. "It's pointless to muddy the water using such a method. The majority of these people are nothing more than cannon fodders."
"I'm guessing the objective is to give a chance to these sealed or hidden Heaven Chosens. Heavenly Dao probably did not want to remove the probability that a peerless genius was amongst these groups.
"However, I agree it's pointless to do so."
Tie Gang knew his boss' strength, so he knew Heavenly Dao's actions were futile. However, he did not care since his thought could not influence Heavenly Dao.
"Who's there?" suddenly said Li Jun, looking outside of the reach of the formation.
"You detected me so soon."
"It's you," he replied before frowning. "That power; that's Fang Lijuan's Invisible Talisman. How did you get it."
"You don't need to know."
"Do you think we didn't know about your little alliance?" said Li Jun with a sneering. "Huang Yuan, you must have a death wish to attack us first."
Huang Yuan stood in the void with his ex-wife, Fan Qianhan, standing behind him. He looked at the group and did not waste time. He summoned his legion and activated the moving Array he had established.
"Something is wrong," muttered Li Jun.
"Indeed. Huang Yuan was not this brave–especially after his loss to big brother," analyzed Yan Liling through Divine Sense from a distance.
"More importantly, his legion seems weird," added Tie Gang.
Li Jun also felt Huang Yuan's anomaly. So, he decided to play it safe and send a regiment of 10 million men composed of his Slaughter Legion; he wanted to test the water.
So, 10 million Void Shattering Realm cultivators all cultivated Slaughter or War Dao. These soldiers are the weakest of the Legion, so they are not the perfect group to test Huang Yuan's situation.
Of course, Li Jun will not let them die in vain, as he's prepared to intervene at any moment. After all, it was not easy cultivating so many Void Shattering Realm cultivators.
The resources used on these 100 million soldiers are enough to make weak Emperor Lineages like the Divine Dao League cry in tears.
Huang Yuan looked at these troops and secretly sighed as he saw their lowest cultivation level was Void Shattering Realm.
The Loose Alliance sponsored him with many resources. However, he had to acquire many of the resources for his troops. But even then, a lot of his forces were in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
'The ancients once said–to become an Emperor, one needs talent, luck, destiny, and wealth. They should have emphasized more how important the wealth part was,' sighed Huang Yuan. However, he was not disheartened by the situation since he had his trump card.
He waved his hand to mobilize his legion, sending twice the number. Soon, the battle began as numerous lights appeared. Energy waves and the Power Law enveloped the surrounding hundreds of galaxies. Blood filled the empty void that was the endless space, painting the Cosmos with a shade of red.
'Even outnumbering them, they still had the advantage,' thought Huang Yuan calmly as he watched his men being slaughtered one by one.
'These soldiers are the elites amongst elites.'
He was not talking about their cultivation level but about their battle prowess, IQ, unity, and cooperation.
'Furthermore, they are undying by sharing their life force,' he thought with his eyes shining. 'However, this is just the beginning.'
After less than an hour, Li Jun's soldiers slaughtered Huang Yuan's 20 million troops, with a death toll of less than 300. However, the latter was calm and composed; he only waved his hand to send another regiment thrice to his opponent's side.
The situation was the same as the Slaughter Legion massacred the enemy.
"Something is wrong," uttered Li Jun; he did not think Huang Yuan would send his man to die for no reason. Then, he seemed to have thought of something.
'Could it be?'
He barely finished his thought before the situation on the battlefield changed. Huang Yuan's 50 million dead troops suddenly came back to life. The dead bodies floating in the void began to move before regrouping with their fellow comrades; they lined up perfectly as the well-trained soldiers they were.
Furthermore, their aura drastically increased, and many soldiers made a breakthrough in their cultivation after this revival.
"Is this the power of the Life and Death Book?" muttered Tie Gang.
"Trouble," spoke Li Jun softly. He did not care about these soldiers' ability to revive themselves; he knew these types of techniques had a limit to the number of revivals. However, he also did not want to lose many men during this fight.
'Should I take action?'
Li Jun frowned before yelling. "You dare?"
He saw Huang Yuan create an enormous black hand containing the power of Death and attack his troops.
He stabbed his spear forward and destroyed the opponent's attack.
"If you want to fight, I'll be your opponent," said Li Jun as he stepped out of the formation. Unfortunately, this act was a grave mistake.
A light suddenly enveloped him before he or the others could react.
