Chapter 940: Invincible Position!
In the third realm, the intense battle between the Sky and Dark races continued unabated.
However, Wang Ye knew that it was nearing its end.
The only passage was constantly shifting. Based on its current trajectory, the next stop should be the first realm.
Over 95% of the territory belonged to the Sky race.
The Dark race would likely surrender, especially since Wang Ye had already taken the divine item, the divination astrolabe, and there were no more unusual movements in the only passage.
In the third realm, even without the divine item, the struggle for territory and control against the Sky race persisted.
However, there was little reason for the Dark race to venture into the first realm unless an all-out war broke out, much like how the Sky race had previously retreated from the second realm.
"We must hurry." Soon after leaving his encampment, Wang Ye promptly used the divine item, the divination astrolabe.
The two-dimensional paths connected seamlessly, akin to traversing through time and space.
In an instant, Wang Ye arrived in the middle of the third realm, precisely where the only passage was currently located.
The speed was astounding!
It had taken considerable effort to reach there previously.
"How convenient." Wang Ye marveled. This method was much faster than his teleportation.
The divination astrolabe could autonomously replenish the consumed spacetime energy, sparing him any concern.
"I will find a Dark race team nearby for a test of blades." Wang Ye's primary reason for being here was because...
Just moments ago, his Sky merit had been surpassed.
The first legion had expended immense effort, finally bridging the gap and once again claiming the top spot among the six legions!
Lu Nai, the former legion commander of the Tianjia King Corps, truly lived up to her reputation as a genius legion commander.
She harbored a determined ambition for the position of chief commander.
"I can refuse, but you cannot take it." Wang Ye swiftly sensed the presence of a Dark race team.
The Divine Destiny Saint Saber in his hand trembled faintly, eager and excited for the impending battle.
If Lu Nai wanted the chief commander's position, she needed to ask Wang Ye if he was willing to relinquish it.
Wang Ye's figure vanished.
...
Outside the only passage, Lu Nai gripped her sword, her breathtakingly beautiful face now pallid.
The battles had drained her strength entirely. Even her once-mighty first legion had suffered significant losses.
Their losses were grievous, leaving them no strength to continue the fight.
But it was worth it!
After this battle, she once again ascended to the top!
They surpassed even the Sixth Legion!
"The position of Chief Commander is mine!" Lu Nai gritted her teeth, her pure white wings shimmering with radiant light.
She was born into a humble background. She possessed remarkable talent. However, in the Sky race, where lineage and status were highly esteemed, her ascent from an ordinary heavenly warrior to a commander and finally a legion commander had been exceptionally challenging.
Step by step, she had made her mark in the Tianjia King Corps, earning renown as a genius legion commander.
At the peak of her career, she had made a decisive choice to leave the Tianjia King Corps and join the Sille Little King Corps to support her new leader, Sharuth.
She was known for exceptional talent and noble lineage.
Only by following Sharuth did Lu Nai see a path to potentially becoming the chief commander and advancing to a superior-grade Sky race!
Now, the opportunity had finally arrived!
Failure was not an option for her!
She was merely a step away from the chief commander's position!
Soon, she would become the superior-grade Sky race!
"The number of Dark race teams has noticeably decreased." Lu Nai observed the battlefield dynamics with clarity.
This insight was honed through years of experience on high-dimensional battlefields, a skill earned through sacrifices in blood.
The guarding mission was nearing its end!
Once the only passage shifted, the Dark race would naturally withdraw.
At that moment, everything would be settled!
Suddenly—
The mission astrolabe trembled slightly.
Lu Nai's heart skipped a beat, a foreboding sense washing over her.
She vividly remembered the last time this happened, witnessing the sixth legion ascend to the top...
She thought, "No, it couldn't be happening again, could it?"
With a mix of apprehension and unease, Lu Nai activated the mission astrolabe.
In an instant, dizziness overwhelmed her.
The first legion barely settled in their new position at the top, was once again pushed back to second place!
Lu Nai's complexion turned ashen, and her spirit dampened.
Her trembling hands gripped the sword tightly.
The dreadful news struck once again!
How could this happen again?
She couldn't afford to lose!
The position of chief commander was rightfully hers!
Not Ye Wang's!
Lu Nai sat there motionless, her eyes vacant.
She had failed.
...
"Eliminated a Level-8 Sovereign Venerate."
"Obtained 32 million evolution points."
Light flickered before Wang Ye's eyes.
The Divine Destiny Saint Saber gleamed brilliantly.
This space-time war saber was perfectly attuned to the sky wheel, delivering a potent space-time effect that inflicted significant damage on the Dark race.
Even without employing any mystical engravings, the innate power of this high-grade ancient gem treasure surpassed that of Wang Ye's previous Perish Saber by far.
It was exhilarating!
A squad of elites of the dark abyss was annihilated.
They harvested 100 million evolution points.
"The energy reserves of the star reserve have bottomed out." Wang Ye sighed.
The star reserve energy, which was so hard to fill up, once again hit rock bottom.
Although now his willpower had become stronger and he had saved much energy from the star reserve, the opponent's strength had also increased.
Moreover, just refining the divine item, the divination astrolabe, had consumed quite a bit.
"After returning, I'll need to find a way to replenish it." Wang Ye collected his spoils.
Surpassing the first legion led by Lu Nai was quite simple for him.
The corpses of the Dark race members slain within the only passage could also be identified using the mission astrolabe.
However, such measures were unnecessary.
With his current prowess, not many Dark race Venerates could escape his grasp.
He familiarized himself with the Divine Destiny Saint Saber's control and the defense of the Vajra Soul Armor. He was preparing himself for the upcoming negotiations with the Strength race.
Dealing with these formidable experts was no easy task.
"I must make arrangements." Wang Ye once again employed the divine item, the divination astrolabe.
Swish! He passed through the dimensional path!
He entered the second realm!
...
At the Dark race encampment.
"Greetings, My Lord." Wang Ye bowed respectfully.
"Haha, Eternal Lord, you've finally returned!" Supreme Yi Xiu smiled warmly.
This was his beloved general!
This mission in the high-dimensional battlefield greatly contributed to his achievements, sparing him from the whip of a Quasi-Emperor Yijin.
"The Sky race escaped too fast." Wang Ye sighed. "I chased them to the third realm, almost failing to return."
"It's no wonder we couldn't reach you." Supreme Yi Xiu realized. "I thought something had happened to you. I even sent many teams to search for you, but they all returned empty-handed."
"I appreciate your concern, Lord," Wang Ye thanked gratefully.
"It's not a big deal." Supreme Yi Xiu chuckled. "It's good that you're back. You've achieved great success this time. I will strongly recommend you to Quasi-Emperor Yijin."
Wang Ye thought, "Heh, I fear she might devour me."
"Let's discuss this later," Wang Ye said. "There's something crucial. On my way back, I faintly sensed the presence of the Strength race!"
"What!?" Supreme Yi Xiu's smile froze, his four eyes narrowing sharply as he fixed his gaze on Wang Ye. "Is it true?"
Wang Ye nodded. "It's a purely physical aura, from a high-dimensional race. Neither Sky race nor our Dark race. Hence, I suspect a Strength race Venerate has infiltrated the third realm!"
"As expected!" Supreme Yi Xiu's eyes gleamed with intensity.
"You knew?" Wang Ye was surprised.
"I deduced it," Supreme Yi Xiu explained. "Similar reports have emerged from the three Emperor Realms, but the Strength race has concealed themselves well. There are traces, yet they remain elusive."
Wang Ye couldn't help but thought, "No wonder you can't find them. Your grasp of spacetime is lacking."
"The Strength race, with the protection of the Sky race, remains well-hidden." Wang Ye agreed. "So why did the Strength race come to the second realm?"
"For revenge," Supreme Yi Xiu stated. "The Strength race was annihilated single-handedly by our Dark race, fueling their deep-seated hatred."
"And what about the Spirit race?" Wang Ye inquired opportunistically.
"The Spirit race holds no grudge against us," Supreme Yi Xiu replied. "Their enmity lies solely with the Sky race."
A balance of conflicts indeed.
...
Wang Ye was puzzled and said, "But now that we're in charge here, wouldn't it be suicidal for the Strength race to come here recklessly?"
"I'm not sure," Supreme Yi Xiu replied. "The Strength race is very cunning and shouldn't be underestimated. They must have come here with a purpose. They won't act rashly, so don't let their appearance deceive you."
Wang Ye wondered, "Of course I knew. They are too cunning."
Wang Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a possibility that the Strength race has allied with the Sky race?"
"Impossible!" Supreme Yi Xiu responded without hesitation. Then he furrowed his brow slightly and said, "But if certain factions of the Sky race secretly allied with the Strength race for mutual benefit... I can't rule out that possibility."
Indeed, the Sky and Dark races had an unspoken agreement.
In the high-dimensional cosmic, it didn't matter if they fought to the death. They were all xenophobic.
This was evident from how they took turns guarding the only passage.
"You've reminded me," Supreme Yi Xiu said with a serious expression. "We cannot give the Strength race any opportunity. I'll immediately dispatch teams to thoroughly investigate the area around the encampment and search for any signs of the Strength race."
"I'll go with them," Wang Ye said.
...
The once quiet Dark race encampment became bustling once more.
Teams of Dark race members scattered to search for traces of the Strength race.
Wang Ye joined them.
Before meeting Ayra, he had to ensure his safety.
This meeting would be different from the first one.
Because he knew very well that the Strength race had smuggled many powerful individuals into the second realm.
He just didn't know which side they were on.
However, Ayra's place was a possibility.
Although he wasn't currently considering betraying the Strength race, he still needed to ensure the safety of the negotiation.
What if he was surrounded by the cunning experts of the Strength race?
What if he was overpowered by the Supreme experts of the Strength race?
With Supreme Yi Xiu and other Dark race Venerates outside, he felt much more secure.
First, he had to secure his invincible position!
Then, he would go meet with the Strength race!
...
Brightmoon Highland.
It was deserted, devoid of any signs of life.
Within the chaotic mist, there lay a spacetime secret realm.
Wang Ye knew exactly where it was.
Because he was responsible for its upkeep.
He scanned his surroundings.
Confirming that no Dark race members were tailing him, Wang Ye promptly opened a dimensional crack. He spread his wings and stepped into the spacetime secret realm.
Swoosh! It was as if he had entered another world!
The surrounding spacetime was completely isolated from the outside world. A unique aura enveloped the secret realm!
Boom! A tremendous pressure descended.
A fierce face materialized in the sky, its roar shaking the heavens and the earth!
The surrounding spacetime shattered like a grid, even the passage to the dimensional secret realm was completely obliterated.
Rumble! Rumble! The earth trembled violently!
In the void, giants resembling towering pillars emerged from all directions!
Each one was bulkier, taller, and exuded an overwhelming presence!
Each possessed a body containing the profound mysteries of the great path of material!
Experts of the Strength race!
Their terrifying strength seemed poised to crush Wang Ye into oblivion!
There were dozens of them!
"Kill him!" Ayra's icy voice resounded.
