Ye Chen calmly watched their direction of travel, showing no intention of giving chase.
The other side is guarded by the Witch Clan. Once the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is activated, no matter how many Dark Serpents there are, they will not be able to get through. Moreover, its strength is in no way weaker than the side where the lords are located.
"Kill!" Seeing the snake-man army charging towards them, the millions of witch warriors roared, showing no fear on their faces, and waited for the enemy to arrive.
Soon, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation rose up, and the entire battlefield was once again transformed into a meat grinder. Countless dark serpent-men fell several times, leaving no trace of their bodies. The entire starry sky was filled with a thick aura of blood, which was the best nourishment for the witch warriors who focused on cultivating their physical bodies.
Not only did all the Wu Clan warriors become more and more courageous in battle, but their own strength also continued to improve as a result. The number of fifth and sixth-tier Wu Clan warriors increased, and the power of the entire formation became stronger and stronger.
It lasted for less than an hour before nearly half of the sixth-tier powerhouses of the snake-people perished. Seeing that they could not break through here, they had no choice but to retreat back to the space rift. Their cold snake eyes revealed a hint of anger.
However, they dared not attack rashly again. The successive defeats had caused heavy losses to the high-level dark snake people. Although snake people continued to emerge from the spatial passage, they were mostly fifth- and fourth-level, and the number of sixth-level snake people was very small.
Of course, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation is not truly invincible. After all, it is still in its infancy. The Wu Clan warriors also suffered heavy casualties. However, the blood energy generated after killing a large number of enemies, especially the blood mist of the fifth and sixth-tier snake people, allowed the low-level Wu Clan warriors to grow rapidly and quickly fill the gaps in the formation.
"Using war to sustain war?" Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. This was something he hadn't considered before. However, after carefully recalling the cultivation methods of the Wu Clan, he found it to be normal.
Unlike the so-called orthodox sects of the Three Realms, the Wu Clan does not cultivate their primordial spirit and does not need the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They cultivate with turbid and malevolent energy and strengthen themselves by consuming large amounts of meat.
Therefore, such a battle suited their wishes perfectly. Moreover, due to the special nature of the Witch Clan, they did not need to worry about any hidden dangers caused by excessive absorption of blood energy and baleful energy. This was their innate talent.
"The world is divided into Yin and Yang. Pure Qi rises and turbid Qi sinks. Immortals cultivate pure Qi and enter the Heavenly Court; witches cultivate turbid Qi and enter the Underworld. The cycle of Heaven and Earth is truly amazing!" Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
I can't help but wonder, what would the entire prehistoric world be like if the Heavenly Dao did not dominate, but three paths coexisted?
The retreat of the Dark Serpent People plunged the area near the spatial rift into a brief silence once again. They did not rush to attack other defensive lines, and Ye Chen did not send his followers out on their own. The two sides remained in a standoff in the starry sky.
Ye Chen knew that the Dark Serpent People were waiting for more Serpent People to emerge from the spatial rift, but he didn't have a good solution. His forces were limited, and the spatial rift was much larger than expected.
"If only there were another garrison!" Ye Chen couldn't help but think. At this moment, all directions of the spatial rift had been sealed off. If there were another garrison, they could rush in and fight directly.
In this way, the dark serpent-men in this spatial node are like turtles in a jar, and can only be continuously consumed.
Unfortunately, his own number of followers is limited, which is not something that ordinary low-rank followers can handle. He would need to send out at least mid-rank or higher followers. No lord would have too many followers of this level; they would all be used for the most important tasks.
Currently lacking manpower, we can only wait until everyone has killed the Dark Serpent Men on the periphery before we can free up our forces.
So Ye Chen was actually waiting for the battle on the periphery to end, so that everyone could work together to take down this spatial node.
Seeing that Ye Chen had actually intercepted the dark serpent men in the spatial node, the lords were overjoyed. As long as the endless attacks of the dark serpent men were stopped, no matter how difficult it was, they were confident that they could completely stop these dark serpent men from entering.
At this moment, everyone completely believed what Ye Chen had said before; he really did have the ability to break through this spatial node.
"It's a pity. If you had come earlier, this spatial rift wouldn't have expanded so much, and it would have been much easier to defend!" Shi Mingxu said with a hint of regret. He wasn't complaining; he was just sighing.
That's often how it is; a little earlier or later, and the whole situation can change drastically.
"It's not too late now. As long as you can free up a large army, you can suppress these dark snake people!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expression suddenly changed slightly. The dark serpent people who had gathered outside the spatial passage lined up one by one and began to cast spells on the spatial rift below them, attempting to further expand the range of the spatial rift.
This spatial rift is already large enough, about the size of three or four ancient planets, making it extremely difficult to defend it across the entire area. If they continue to expand it, Ye Chen's forces may not be sufficient.
"What should we do?" Jiang Qin asked with a worried expression. The expansion speed of the spatial rift was not fast, but it was still considerable over time, and there was also the seventh-order god who might emerge at any time.
No one doubts that there are no seventh-order demigods in the spatial nodes of the Dark Serpent People, and it wouldn't be surprising if even eighth-order true gods appeared. They are an absolutely powerful dark race. However, since they appear in the form of spatial nodes, they shouldn't have enough energy to nurture eighth-order true gods. Seventh-order is the limit; the only difference is the number of them.
"Fatty, send back a group of goblins wearing primordial armor to harass them. They don't necessarily have to kill them, just prevent them from actively expanding the spatial rift!" Ye Chen said in a deep voice. "Your outer defenses must be held firm. Don't rush at any time. The clansmen are risking their lives!"
Harassment without attacking is the best approach in the current situation.
As long as they can curb the expansion of the snake-people on this side of the spatial rift, and once the snake-people on the outer perimeter are repelled, they can free up their forces and have enough troops to deal specifically with the spatial rift.
At that time, with several sixth-tier lords guarding various directions, the witch warriors can deploy a large formation and fight freely at the exit of the spatial rift. At the same time, they can begin to try to permanently close and banish this spatial node, thus completely resolving the crisis here.
