This great battle was a duel between monstrous-level geniuses.In such battles, those who lacked strength would fall—and there was no honor in blaming others.
If you were killed by someone in your own realm, you could only blame yourself for not being strong enough.Even for senior powerhouses, stepping in would invite ridicule of being narrow-minded.Of course, those from Eternal Night hardly cared for such things—If they could kill a powerful enemy, who cared about reputation?
The only ones truly humiliated…Were the Fallen Angels.
And also the many geniuses on the Blood Moon Rankings of Eternal Night.Since Heaven's Sin was also among the monstrous elite, his defeat was a disgrace to all of them.
Outraged, one after another, monstrous-level prodigies emerged from seclusion, appearing on the Eternal Night battlefield, determined to find and defeat Yi Tianxing,To reclaim their lost pride.
But strangely enough,After that decisive battle, Yi Tianxing never appeared again on the battlefield.
Instead, a flood of puppet soldiers (奴兵) continued to pour out of spatial gates, swarming the battlefield in relentless waves.
The Eternal Night forces were growing deeply troubled.
They knew the nature of these puppet soldiers all too well—No matter how many they killed, more would take their place.And yet they couldn't ignore them either—These puppet armies were being used to raid and crush Eternal Night's magic cities, spreading destruction wherever they went.
Worse still,The timing and location of the spatial gates was utterly unpredictable.
At any moment, a hundred gates could appear around a city, surrounding it and launching a siege.
And Great Yi had done exactly this—once directly overwhelming a city using only puppet soldiers in a surprise assault.
The moment the city fell, all the gates vanished.The elite forces of Great Yi never even engaged directly.
The strategy was clear:Destroy as many magic cities as possible. Inflict as much damage as possible.
This was the perfect application of the Sixteen-Word Military Doctrine:"Strike where the enemy is weak, retreat when they are strong. Surprise attacks. Swift retreat."
Eternal Night was exposed.
Great Yi hid in the shadows.
And with the Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower, Yi Tianxing could attack or withdraw at will, maintaining total control of the war's tempo.
As Yi Tianxing had once said:"The best defense is offense."
Again and again, they gained victories, And the morale of Great Yi soared.
"Congratulations, my Lord," said Zhuge Liang, smiling."We've now tied down nearly sixty to seventy percent of Eternal Night's power.We've become a thorn in their flesh,Making it impossible for them to focus on the Divine-Demon Battlefield.Surely, the Heavenly Dao will reward you greatly."
It was true:
If he returned to the Divine-Demon Battlefield, Yi Tianxing would likely gain divine favor and rewards.
If he could return safely.
"Forget that coward Yi Tianxing.If he won't come out, let's turn our rage toward the Divine-Demon Battlefield!If he destroys one of our magic cities,we'll destroy ten of their war cities!"
The Eternal Night side quickly shifted its strategy.
If they couldn't find Yi Tianxing—They would retaliate by attacking the Divine-Demon Battlefield.
This call to arms swept the Eternal Night army like wildfire.
Soon, large numbers of Eternal Night prodigies surged into the battlefield.The sky grew increasingly crowded with stars, as new dimensional rifts opened up.
Once again, vast numbers of Eternal Night puppet soldiers appeared—this time, led by the Zerg.
Their insectoid armies tore through cities in madness.One by one, cities fell under the swarm.
Massacres followed.
"Eternal Night's gone mad! But their top geniuses haven't all returned…That means Yi Tianxing is still in the Eternal Night battlefield,and he's still causing them massive damage."
"We must hold! We must not let Eternal Night run rampant here!We fight—not just for survival, but to protect the honor that Yi Tianxing earns us daily!We will not lose our home! Fight!"
The Divine-Demon Battlefield erupted. All across its cities, Eternal cultivators counterattacked fiercely.
The war entered a new climax.
And so, time passed…
Unknowingly, twenty years had gone by.
It was now Year 48 of the Eternal Calendar, fifth month.
This war had already lasted over two decades.
Every single day was soaked in blood.
As the worlds of Eternal Night and Eternity slowly fused, Eternal Night's power was gradually unsealed, day by day.
The attacks became more brutal, more deadly. But every three years, the Divine-Demon Battlefield received reinforcements—fresh troops from the Eternal World.
These fresh warriors allowed the frontline to hold strong, even under the fiercest attacks.
In the third year of the war, Another ten million troops from Great Yi arrived, led by Jia Xu.
Among them was Yi Tianxing's eldest daughter, Yi Xianhuang, born in Eternal Year 4, eighth month.She was just shy of twenty-five years old when she reached the battlefield.
Leading one million soldiers, she fought at the front, her Immortal Phoenix Physique blazing through the war.
Her name—Princess Xianhuang—resounded across the battlefield.
Three years later, the second daughter, Yi Xianling, arrived—age 24.
Three years after that, daughters three, four, and five—Yi Wuchang, Yi Yuehua, and Yi Fengling—arrived together, all age 25.
Three years later, the sixth child, Yi Ziyang, arrived, age 26.
These were not pampered children.They were born of emperors, but raised for the battlefield.
This had always been Yi Tianxing's belief—And his wife Cai Yan honored it.
"Heaven moves with strength. So too must man.The human race must rise by its own hand."
"Being born royal is only the start.Whether you shine or fall depends on your own merit.You want resources? Fight for them.Die on the battlefield, and it will still be an honor to the Emperor's House."
Yi Xianhuang and her siblings fully agreed. And so they chose the battlefield without hesitation.
The hardship they endured…Need not be said.
The battlefield is the greatest furnace of all.And true gold… shines brightest in fire.
In twenty years,the Divine-Demon Battlefield was stained with countless corpses,and filled with epic war stories beyond number.
New geniuses rose from every race.
Great powers clashed without mercy.
The Spartan warriors, the Arcane Kingdom's armies, and more—All fought with courage and fire.
But the most legendary, undeniably—was Yi Tianxing and the Great Yi Dynasty.
Every three years, hundreds of thousands—millions—of soldiers entered the war.
Even the weakest among them had reached the Life Diagram Realm peak,making them top-tier warriors on the battlefield.
Many perished.
But the most stunning of all—
Yi Tianxing had stayed inside the Eternal Night Battlefield for the full twenty years.
And from the mouths of Eternal Night captives,came tales of what he had done.
He had tied down over 60% of Eternal Night's forces, conquered hundreds of fortress,and slain countless geniuses.
Many in the Eternal World dreamed of being under Great Yi's banner,Even if only as a mere soldier beneath his command.
At the same time—The war within the Eternal World had also reached a climax.
The Three Great Beast Clans—avian, scaled, and armored beasts—fought without rest.
Even the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races entered the fray.
Blood spilled with every clash.
No race showed mercy.
But none could defeat the others.
Each race gained great fate and fortune from the war—Their destinies expanding rapidly.
Just as the conflict burned hottest—
All three races suddenly stopped.
