The snake-men were forced into retreat, but unlike other dark creatures, they did not act recklessly; instead, they withdrew in an orderly manner.
This is a very rare phenomenon among dark creatures, and it can only be encountered in lineups of dark gods. The dark creatures' inner desire for life is very difficult to suppress.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but frown slightly. The Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was not easy to move, and it was impossible to chase after someone while holding the formation. Moreover, maintaining the formation in place would put enormous pressure on the Wu Clan warriors, and it was simply impossible to do it for long.
However, this group of dark snake people clearly did not intend to truly retreat. Their slow withdrawal while maintaining attack range was obviously just a delaying tactic, intending to launch a counterattack when the witch warriors could no longer maintain the great formation.
By then, will the Wu Clan warriors, who have exhausted a great deal of energy maintaining the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, still be able to contend with these snake-people? Without them, the remaining three clans will inevitably be at a disadvantage when facing the snake-people, and at the very least, heavy casualties will be unavoidable.
"What should I do?" Ye Chen kept thinking. It wasn't that he couldn't win, but he didn't want to pay such a high price. After all, every member of the Primordial Clan could be considered a rare species.
"Let them stop there for now, we'll go over!" After pondering for a while, Ye Chen said to Ye Xi beside him.
Following Ye Chen's command, all the lords began to mobilize the forces of their territories and flew towards the battlefield between the Primordial Races and the Dark Serpent People. This scene obviously caused a brief period of chaos among the Serpent People. However, when Ye Chen and the others arrived at the outer edge of the battlefield, they had the Witch Clan deactivate the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.
This left the snake-people bewildered, and they hesitated for a moment, unsure whether they should step forward.
"Everyone, proceed towards the designated location. Do not exceed the speed of the Wu Clan warriors in front, and be wary of dark creatures from other directions!" Ye Chen ordered again. Everyone's territory immediately set sail again, moving forward steadily, though not fast.
Seeing this, the snake-people had no choice but to retreat slowly. However, after the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was deactivated, all the witch warriors rode on a divine dragon or phoenix and flew forward, slaughtering any snake-people they encountered.
Seeing that there was no time to retreat, the snake-people reignited the war and once again clashed with the various races of the prehistoric world. Just when the war was at its most intense and chaotic, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation was activated again, and countless snake-people were instantly shredded. In just a few minutes, millions of snake-people were killed.
Moreover, Ye Chen seemed to have been prepared. The Rakshasa and Dragon-Phoenix clans had somehow moved outside the battlefield and cut off the Snake-People's retreat. Although it was impossible to stop so many Snake-People, it greatly delayed their withdrawal time, and millions more Snake-People were killed in an instant.
After this battle, more than half of the ten million snake-men army were killed, and the rest fled into the starry sky.
Ye Chen didn't rush to pursue them. Instead, he gathered his followers, collected the spoils, and then led everyone to fly faster towards the spatial node.
You Dark Serpent People want to retreat? Then I'll let you retreat to your heart's content, and I'll march straight to your lair, leaving you nowhere to run.
But if you dare to step forward, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation will rise and kill you without leaving a trace.
Once I reach the outside of the spatial node, I'll turn around and block the entrance with the great array. No matter how many of your clansmen you send, I'll kill them all. Let's see how many snake people you have in this little world that I can kill enough of.
Therefore, Ye Chen was not worried about the snake-people escaping at all. The higher the level of the creature, the more communication methods it had. Once he surrounded the spatial node, the snake-people would naturally go and call back these scattered members of their race to relieve the siege. There was no need for him to search for them one by one.
The coordinates for the spatial teleportation were already near the spatial node. After killing monsters along the way, the group quickly arrived at the outer edge of the spatial node. At this time, several lords were already fighting here, trying to wear down the power of the spatial node as much as possible. However, against the snake people, their efforts had little effect.
Ye Chen glanced at them and saw that they were mostly sixth-tier lords, but their strength was not as great as Raphael's. They were only in the mid-to-late stage of the sixth tier, and they probably didn't have any seventh-tier clans to protect them. They all came here with the determination to die, because once a seventh-tier dark god appeared, no one could escape.
Dimensional wars are a matter of life and death for everyone. Those who can become lords all have a heart to fight against darkness. This is the result of the gods' choice. Therefore, most lords can do some touching things under such circumstances.
Of course, as time goes by, many people forget or tarnish this pure heart, because endless darkness can make people feel despair.
The arrival of Ye Chen and his group gave these lords hope, but when they saw the territories following behind Ye Chen's territory, they couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. What use could such a group of low-level lords who hadn't even reached the fourth rank be? Were they just going to their deaths?
"Where did you lords come from? Those of lower rank, get out of here and leave this star field. The people living in this space node are Dark Serpent People, and you can't handle them!" A lord summoned a huge star projection and shouted at Ye Chen.
Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled and also activated his own projection, and his huge figure immediately appeared in the starry sky.
"We're here to support the lord of this star system. I'm the main person in charge this time. I'd like to ask how things are going here?" Ye Chen asked.
"What a joke! Who gave this order? A bunch of low-ranking lords? Are they coming here to die?" Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the lord opposite him immediately spoke up angrily, clearly intending to give the person who gave the order a good scolding.
"Uh, this?" Ye Chen scratched his head awkwardly. If he wasn't mistaken, he was their leader, and he was the one who brought them here, so the other party was cursing him?
"Please don't worry, they're just here to broaden their horizons. We'll bring them into the planet later. I'm the one who's mainly here to provide support!" Ye Chen said again.
Hearing this, the other party's expression finally improved. If it were taken back to the planet, there would indeed be no great danger. However, the other party glanced at Ye Chen's Primordial Star.
"So you're the only one they've arranged to come and provide support?" the other person asked uncertainly.
"No! No! No, I still have myself!" the fat man's projection appeared in the starry sky and answered quickly. What kind of eyesight does he have? With so many territories, how come he can only see one primordial star? He can't see the others?
