Chapter 2925: The Battle Begins

The Wind Rises Across the Nine Provinces

These numerous factors were all considerations for the Dragon Sovereign and all their strong cultivators. To protect Dragon City and repel the invaders this time, they had to ensure an overwhelming numerical advantage.

All the Dragon Clan powerhouses from past generations were currently inside Lu Ye's inner world. If they could all successfully advance and break through, this numerical advantage could indeed be secured.

As he pondered, the Dragon Sovereign suddenly realized something. If battle truly broke out, Bloodthorn would likely target him. This Blood Clan Half-Saint was clearly annoyed by his repeated provocations, and she would certainly not miss any opportunity for revenge.

At this thought, his expression immediately darkened.

How could he, a newly ascended Half-Saint, be a match for a powerful figure like Bloodthorn?

For a moment, the Dragon Sovereign felt his future was bleak.

Within the River of Time, Lu Ye sat upright, keeping one eye on the external battle and the other on the situation within his inner world.

Under the continuous flow of temporal power, everything in the inner world was progressing rapidly. Perhaps only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed outside, while a month or even longer had elapsed within his inner world.

From time to time, dragon roars echoed, and surges of energy indicated that Dragon Clan powerhouses were breaking through and ascending.

For all of this, Lu Ye had to pay a heavy price: a massive consumption of his Dao power.

Thus, he continuously activated the power of his Talent Tree to refine Dao Fish.

Fortunately, he had acquired numerous spoils when he previously killed Half-Saints like Blood Abyss. Furthermore, to prepare for the current battle, Dragon City had brought out all its reserves of Dao Fish.

Additionally, Qin Feng had arrived with a large supply of Dao Fish as support.

Looking across Star Abyss, in terms of wealth, the Ten Harmonized Dao Cities were not the richest; the Battle Arena was.

Qin Feng's Battle Arena embraced all, whether rich or poor, allowing anyone to mingle within it. After years of accumulation, Qin Feng's personal assets had long become an incalculable sum.

Upon learning that Lu Ye needed a large quantity of Dao Fish, he contributed them without hesitation. He kept only a small portion for his future cultivation, handing the rest over to Lu Ye.

Therefore, despite the current large consumption, there was no need to worry about future resources.

Time flowed on.

Within the inner world, one newly ascended Dragon Clan Half-Saint after another was born.

Until at a certain point, the Dragon Sovereign's voice transmission arrived: "Lu Ye, we're reaching our limit."

After several days of relentless assault, the light barrier of Dragon City's third defensive array was rippling and dimming. Although it could still hold for about another day, they couldn't continue to passively endure like this.

Because once the grand array completely broke, Dragon City would surely fall.

Therefore, they had to act preemptively. Only then could their Half-Saints fight without reservations; otherwise, during the great battle, they would still have to worry about residual shockwaves sweeping through Dragon City.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye looked at the situation within his inner world and let out a slight sigh.

Some Dragon Clan members still hadn't managed to ascend; time simply ran out. However, purely in terms of numbers, their side now held an absolute advantage in Half-Saints.

His sigh was not because these few Dragon Clan members couldn't make it, but for another reason.

These days, he had been continuously deducing the 'Connected Spirit' Dao pattern. This Dao pattern was an excellent method for weaker individuals to form arrays and fight stronger opponents. Therefore, if he could use this Dao pattern to allow the Dragon Clan Half-Saints to form arrays and face the enemy, their advantage could be fully solidified.

Unfortunately, the result was not ideal.

The clashes between Half-Saint level powerhouses created too much commotion. The 'Connected Spirit' Dao pattern he currently controlled was simply insufficient to support battles of this magnitude.

With the time limit approaching, Lu Ye could only reluctantly give up.

"I understand. Let's begin!" Lu Ye said softly, then rose to his feet.

A few breaths later, the Half-Saints from the Source World, led by Bloodthorn, all looked up toward Dragon City.

This was because the River of Time, which had been suspended above Dragon City since before their arrival, suddenly vanished at that moment, and a slender figure stepped out from it.

"That's Lu Ye!" Myriad Bee immediately exclaimed.

Bloodthorn gazed at Lu Ye's figure; though it was only a fleeting glance, she still remembered his appearance. She couldn't help but let out a cold snort: "Just a human!"

Fei chuckled: "It looks like they can't hold out any longer. I'm curious whether they'll try to escape or rush out together."

The sudden disappearance of the River of Time was undoubtedly a sign. Moreover, the light barrier of Dragon City's defensive array was clearly struggling to hold, which was evident.

Given Dragon City's current situation, the cultivators within the city had few choices. It was either fight or flee, nothing more.

Bloodthorn said indifferently: "If they wanted to flee, they would have done so long ago. Why would they wait until now?"

Fei couldn't help but lick his lips: "I wonder what a Half-Saint tastes like! Bloodthorn, you don't mind if I deal with that Blood Clan traitor, do you?"

Bloodthorn frowned slightly in distaste. Even the other Half-Saints couldn't help but show wary expressions. This was because Fei had a peculiar habit: he devoured the raw flesh and blood of his enemies. In his early years in the Source World, he had gained a notorious reputation because of this habit.

He had tasted almost every major race in the entire Source World.

Only the Blood Clan remained untouched, as the Insect and Blood races had always maintained a close relationship, preventing Fei from fulfilling his desire. This had almost become an obsession for him.

He had always wanted to know what the Blood Clan tasted like.

Now, the opportunity had arrived!

A traitor had appeared in the Blood Clan! For him, this was an incredibly rare opportunity.

"Whatever makes you happy!" Although Bloodthorn was disgusted by his habit, she found it hard to object at this moment. It was a fact that Blood Guilt was a traitor, so letting Fei deal with him was fine.

Inside Dragon City, in a certain array hub, Blood Guilt, who was sitting, suddenly shivered. He had an inexplicable bad feeling. He secretly resolved that when the great battle began, he would seek out the puppet Half-Saints to fight, and absolutely avoid the battlefield where powerful figures like Bloodthorn were.

Weren't they all newly ascended Half-Saints? By his calculations, his ascension wasn't much earlier than these Dragon Clan members. Anyway, the Dragon Clan now had numerous Half-Saints, and this battle was to defend Dragon City, so the tough challenges should naturally be left for the Dragon Clan to handle. As a Blood Clan member, he just needed to contribute some effort; there was no need to fight to the death.

As he thought this, he suddenly saw Lu Ye's figure and his expression immediately became serious. "Is the battle about to begin?"

Lu Ye nodded slightly and turned to look at the Dragon Sovereign beside him.

The Dragon Sovereign's expression was solemn. After struggling to hold on for nearly ten days, they finally had to take this step. Although everything had progressed relatively smoothly, the outcome would only be known after the fight.

Today's battle not only concerned the survival of Dragon City but could even affect the future of the entire Star Abyss. No one could face it with equanimity.

"Let's proceed as planned," the Dragon Sovereign said softly.

Now, everything that could be prepared had been, and all that could be planned had been. All that remained was to reveal the truth through combat. After all, cultivators always needed to fight to know who was truly stronger.

Lu Ye said nothing, merely raised his hand, and immediately, a portal appeared before him.

Immediately, figures stepped out from it, one after another.

Blood Guilt was initially quite calm, as in the past ten days, Dragon Clan Half-Saints had continuously appeared, and he had grown accustomed to it.

But as more and more Dragon Clan Half-Saints emerged, the Blood Lord involuntarily gaped.

Previously, the appearance of Dragon Clan Half-Saints had always been somewhat spaced out. When had he ever seen so many pouring out at once?

As the number of Dragon Clan Half-Saints gradually increased, Blood Guilt secretly became excited. He realized that their side's number of Half-Saints actually surpassed that of the enemy.

This undoubtedly meant that their side indeed possessed the capital to directly confront the enemy in battle.

The crucial point was that this number was still increasing...

Only after a long while did Lu Ye close the portal before him. By then, all the Dragon Clan Half-Saints who had successfully ascended had exited the inner world.

The entire Dragon City now gathered nearly a hundred Half-Saints!

For a moment, Blood Guilt was speechless. If he had known earlier that Dragon City concealed such immense power, how could he have dared to oppose them years ago?

He would have been too busy trying to curry favor.

He secretly rejoiced that so many Dragon Clan powerhouses seemed to have been unable to emerge for some reason. Otherwise, Blood Drink City would have been annihilated long ago.

"Esteemed ancestors," the Dragon Sovereign bowed respectfully. Every Dragon Clan Half-Saint who had emerged this time was of a higher generation than him. Under normal circumstances, he would have properly greeted them and discussed their lineage, but there was no leisure for that now. "Lu Ye should have already explained the general situation to you."

The numerous Dragon Clan Half-Saints nodded in unison. As their gazes swept around, they saw Dragon City so shattered, and each of them felt great rage in their hearts.

"For this battle, I humbly ask for your efforts!" The Dragon Sovereign bowed once more.

"Enough talk, let the battle begin!" a Dragon Clan Half-Saint with a majestic face said in a deep voice. "Today, we shall live and die with Dragon City!"

Although the other Dragon Clan Half-Saints did not explicitly state it, they clearly shared the same sentiment.

The Dragon Sovereign looked around, nodded slightly, and declared: "Fight!"

Within Dragon City, a continuous wave of dragon roars instantly erupted, shaking the universe.

The next moment, Bloodthorn and others, who were observing from not far away, saw dozens of figures suddenly burst out from the city, each rushing to confront the puppet Half-Saints who were relentlessly attacking the city.

"Hmm?" Fei was stunned. "This number... isn't it a bit off?"

According to their intelligence, Dragon City was estimated to currently possess around twenty Half-Saints.

However, the Half-Saints emerging now were far more than twenty; there were two or three times that number.

For a moment, they had no idea where these additional Dragon Clan Half-Saints had come from.

Bloodthorn also frowned. Although she was confident in this battle, this unknown development was undoubtedly not good. It seemed Dragon City had definitely concealed its true strength.

If dozens of Dragon Clan Half-Saints could suddenly appear, were there even more hidden within?

Soon, they realized something.

The number of Dragon Clan Half-Saints participating in this battle seemed to have been carefully calculated. Because each Dragon Clan Half-Saint, upon emerging, quickly found their opponent, precisely matching the number of puppet Half-Saints!

The scene suddenly became lively.

Over a hundred Half-Saints engaged in one-on-one combat. The residual shockwaves swept wildly both inside and out, and the battle was extremely fierce.
