Upon receiving Ye Chen's order, all the new lords began to retreat. Although Fatty and the others did not know the reason, they did so out of trust in Ye Chen.
Meanwhile, he dispatched a large number of high-ranking members of his clan to test the waters and see just how strong these snake-men really were.
"Kill!" Zhu Rong and the other thirteen tribes of the Wu clan rushed out from the primordial star and charged towards the dark creatures that were coming towards them.
Those who went into battle at this time were all elites selected from various races, all of whom were at least at the fifth rank, numbering as many as a million.
Although the Dark Serpent People came with great force, their numbers were not many among the dark creatures, only about ten million. Compared to the boundless starry sky, this was not a large number, and it couldn't even compare to other dark creatures nearby. However, a million Witch Clan warriors would be enough.
As the distance between the two sides closed, Ye Chen was able to roughly see the strength of the other side. Of the tens of millions of dark snakemen, almost one-tenth of them had the strength of the sixth rank, which was equivalent to a million sixth-rank snakemen. This number far exceeded the number of the witch warriors.
"Send out the Dragon and Phoenix clans and the Rakshasa. We must not let anything happen to the Witch Clan warriors!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice. A million sixth-level snake people, regardless of their combat strength, at least the number is already quite large. Even if those sixth-level Witch Clan warriors are not afraid, there are still so many fifth-level warriors below. If we don't make other preparations, the losses may be too great.
"Okay!" Ye Xi nodded, went down and gave some instructions, and then the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing rang out on the Primordial Star. A large number of dragons and phoenixes took to the air and entered the starry sky.
Unlike the Witch Clan, the Dragon and Phoenix Clan has mostly entered the Heavenly Court, and their overall strength has improved significantly compared to the Witch Clan. Those who have emerged now are all at the sixth rank, and there are even many at the peak of the sixth rank, just one step away from the seventh rank.
In addition, the Rakshasa are also an extremely powerful race. They are a race born for battle. Even without the blessing of the Heavenly Court, they can still grow up quickly and possess extremely strong combat power.
Moreover, the Rakshasa's reproductive ability is not weak. The only drawback is perhaps the growth ceiling of the sixth-tier peak. Although they can grow to the sixth tier very quickly and their race can easily grow, they are, after all, a race not recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and it is almost hopeless for them to become gods.
At this moment, the auspicious dragon and phoenix, along with the fierce Rakshasa, flew out from the primordial star, immediately causing the surrounding new lords to exclaim in surprise. They all sensed extremely powerful auras emanating from these three beings, which were no weaker than the previous witch warriors, and were even more powerful.
"My lord! Besides the Witch Clan, the Dragon and Phoenix Clan, and the Rakshasa Clan, there are many other powerful demons on the Primordial Star. Although they wreak havoc on the region, they are still very strong, with quite a few at the fifth or sixth rank!" Ye Xi reminded him after returning from arranging the matters Ye Chen had entrusted to him.
With the emergence of the Gate of Essence and Qi, not only were spirits and monsters born on the Primordial Star, but also many demons. They devoured living beings, committed heinous crimes, and wreaked havoc on the region. However, it is undeniable that this method can rapidly improve one's strength. Among them, there are quite a few fifth and sixth-order great demons, but they are scattered throughout the Primordial Star, and Ye Chen has forgotten about them for a while.
Normally, these places serve as training grounds for various races, where life and death, good and evil coexist, forming a complete ecosystem. Therefore, Ye Chen did not forcibly eliminate these demons, but instead allowed the various races of the Primordial Star to handle them themselves. Naturally, there are cultivators who need training to kill the demons, just as there are many adventurers in Xiniu Hezhou who go out to hunt magical beasts.
However, after listening to Ye Xi's words, I realized that there were quite a few of these demons. They could even be pulled out and become a vital force to fight against the darkness. Moreover, these evil demons could be used as expendable resources even if they died.
"Take a count, how many demons are there at each level!" Ye Chen nodded in response. It would be foolish not to use free cannon fodder, but unfortunately, it was too late for this one.
As the two were talking, the Wu tribe warriors at the forefront had already charged into battle with the snake people. Gonggong swung his giant axe and chopped it down hard, but it was blocked by the spear in the snake people's hands. The enormous force could not shake the opponent, and he even felt his arm tremble slightly.
In just a moment of exchange, Gonggong sensed that his opponent's power was no less than his own.
Moreover, compared to the four serpent warriors, the snake-man had an extra thick and powerful snake tail. In the instant when the two were locked in a stalemate, the snake tail slashed down at him from the side like a bolt of lightning.
"Hiss~~~" A green python leaped out from Gonggong's body and bit down on his tail, intercepting his attack.
This is the green python raised by Gonggong. It has the same sixth-order strength as him, but it is still inferior to the snake-men of the same order. Although it bit the other's tail, it was quickly shaken off.
"Kill!" Fortunately, the momentary obstruction gave Gonggong enough time to react. With a roar, the enormous Gonggong Dharma Image appeared behind him, and his power increased exponentially. He exerted force with his battle axe and sent the snake-man flying.
That's all. Although they had the advantage in strength, the opponent didn't suffer much damage, except for the surge of blood and qi. The snake-man's powerful body prevented the witch warriors from gaining the upper hand in a short time.
"Kill!" As Gonggong clashed with the snake-man leader, countless Wu tribe warriors clashed with the snake-men. The powerful snake-men were indeed terrifying. The invincible Wu tribe had surprisingly met their match. They could only fight one-on-one and could not win in a short time.
If the numbers were equal, Ye Chen believed that the Witch Clan would win as time went on. However, the opposing force now had ten times the number of Witch Clan warriors. If they couldn't achieve an instant kill, they would face a mob attack from countless snake people.
"Everyone, form a group!" Houtu shouted in the crowd. With a numerical disadvantage, the only way is to form groups, reduce the battle area, and reduce the number of enemies each warrior has to face. Only in this way can there be any hope of victory.
But this is only temporary. There are simply too many snake people. If it were just the witch clan, they would be defeated and wiped out very quickly.
Fortunately, at this moment, the true sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing came from behind, along with the murderous aura of the Rakshasa clan. This was a race even more fearless than the warriors of the Witch Clan, a group of purer killing gods who didn't even discriminate against their opponents. Every time the sharp Rakshasa blades were thrust out, a snake-man would fall.
