316: The God of War panicked

They panicked, completely panicked.

The spatial lock instantly released, and everyone escaped the independent space.

Lin Ye's giant claw descended again.

After losing the spatial suppression, this claw actually produced several cracks in the shield.

The five people were terrified.

"Azure Sky Divine Bird, run!"

The Azure Sky Divine Bird knew the urgency of the situation and used its innate speed talent to escape into the void.

The rest of them used all their means to resist Lin Ye.

Countless Faith God artifacts were thrown out by them, exploding one after another as if they were worthless.

Lin Ye barely managed to resist with Eternal Guardian amidst these terrifying self-explosions.

Fortunately, the Faith God Power in these Faith God artifacts was insufficient, otherwise, the explosion power would have surged, and if they all exploded together, Eternal Guardian might have been broken.

After all, Eternal Guardian's attributes did not match Lin Ye's, and it was not personally controlled by a Dominator, so its defense was actually greatly reduced.

As the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, Lin Ye secretly thought it was a pity; this team was too well-prepared, had too many trump cards, and cherished their lives so much, making them difficult to kill.

The main reason was their cherishing of life; they were all top geniuses, almost guaranteed to become Dominators, so why take risks?

Although Dominators are also divided into different ranks after promotion, acquiring more black holes at this time was beneficial for their foundation, but no matter how important the foundation was, it wasn't as important as their lives.

"I'll spare your lives this time; you won't be so lucky if we meet again," Lin Ye muttered to himself.

Of course, even if he wanted to chase them, he couldn't catch up.

After transforming back, Little White let out a long cry and took Lin Ye into the void, continuing their hunting spree.

........

"It's terrifying, truly terrifying!" The five people who escaped with their lives still felt lingering fear.

"Lin Ye has reached a combat power far exceeding that of a Dominator; he's simply not human."

"Our artifacts that restrict and suppress his power suppressed his strength to less than half a percent, but even that half a percent nearly shattered a Dominator's Law Artifact-level defense. How terrifying!" Someone gasped.

"No, we must discuss this quickly, otherwise our War God Clan is very likely to be hunted down to extinction." Anthony was the most afraid.

He knew his teacher's defensive Law Artifact best; although he, a small fry, was operating it, even an ordinary Dominator would not be able to shake its defense.

Yet, Lin Ye nearly shattered it.

Thankfully, they ran fast enough.

The five quickly transmitted the news and the combat footage—it wasn't that their brothers were weak, but that the enemy was too cunning.

They didn't send the message to the representative group but to the forum; now was not the time to suppress news to avoid panic.

If they didn't work together to deal with Lin Ye, they would eventually be annihilated.

A combat video spread on the War God Clan forum, and anyone who was idle would see it; it had been stickied.

"What? Five people, with so many Law Artifacts, surrounded and attacked him, but they didn't win?"

"It's too terrifying. The moment Anthony's shield cracked, my heart clenched."

"It's over, it's over, it's over. What do we do? This person is too terrifying."

The War God Clan members were all in a state of alarm.

Even those who were still fighting lost their will to fight after receiving reports from their intelligence, and immediately retreated.

The God Race was initially confused, but as the War God Clan's video leaked, they immediately became excited.

"Hahaha, with Lin Ye, we will surely annihilate the enemy in this battle!"

"The War God Clan is nothing special; they tried to encircle him but got screwed instead."

"He is an unparalleled genius!"

For a time, Lin Ye's prestige was boundless.

On the War God Clan's side, after their concerted discussion, they ultimately decided to retreat and defend.

Continuing to fight dispersed would only lead to losses.

With the War God Clan retreating and gathering, Lin Ye truly couldn't find an opening for a while.

The main reason was that the War God Clan also had formations.

Even a rat-like cult like the Demon God Cult had formations, let alone the War God Clan.

Their formations, based on units of a thousand people, could summon Ancient War Gods that even Lin Ye had to temporarily avoid.

"What a pity," Lin Ye sighed.

Originally, this kind of dispersed combat would have lasted a long time before legion combat would begin.

Because whichever side first couldn't withstand the losses and retreated to defend, that side would be at a disadvantage.

After retreating, people gather, making it easy to be surrounded.

There was also another important reason—Star Power replenishment.

When many people gather, the Star Power of the local environment is difficult to supply to so many people, leading to slow recovery capabilities.

The side with the advantage could then occupy vast territories, gaining a recovery advantage.

This would lead to a waxing and waning of strength. Not to mention the tactical advantages.

Generally speaking, when planning to retreat and defend, they would usually prepare sufficient supplies before doing so.

But now, due to the War God Clan's haste, their supplies were insufficient.

Moreover, supplies in the Star River Hunting Ground were truly scarce; there wasn't even a decent supply point.

Only by expending power to transform Level 1 and Level 2 black holes could they quickly resupply.

"What do we do?"

Hundreds of War God Clan representatives gathered together, having to face this sharp problem.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult," one person uttered three 'difficults' in a row.

The reason their War God Clan dared to fight away from home was due to their confidence.

They were usually arrogant because they had the strength to be arrogant; they could even fight two God Races without a problem.

When star clusters fought, they won more often than they lost, and even when they lost, it was mostly not due to combat failure but due to supply issues or enemy reinforcements.

But this time, in a one-on-one fight, and in the resource-scarce Star River Hunting Ground, they were actually forced to retreat and defend.

What a disgrace, a great disgrace.

Everyone felt stifled, but not a single person proposed a feasible plan.

"If we continue to retreat and defend, and they accumulate enough black holes for supplies, we will still lose."

"But if we don't retreat and defend, and fight dispersed, we will be defeated one by one."

"The best outcome now is to not lose too badly and try to bring some people out."

Someone said pessimistically.

But someone else objected.

"If he can fight five, can he fight ten of our elites? If ten aren't enough? Then a hundred!" Someone said fiercely.

"Right, we have over five hundred people with Law Artifacts; we can just take turns smashing him to death."

"He's just one person; he's nothing to worry about."

The radical faction wanted to send more people to encircle him.

"Oh, please. How many people can catch up to him? Anthony and his five were already the strongest team we could put together."

Someone mercilessly exposed the radical faction.

This was also the truth.

Many people were skilled in speed and could catch up to Lin Ye, at least nearly a hundred. But most of them had single-target speed and couldn't carry others.

Among those who could carry others, there was only one Azure Sky Divine Bird. And the Azure Sky Divine Bird had limited passenger capacity; too many would prevent it from traversing the void.

Even if all these people gathered together, their threat to Lin Ye would be limited.

They were good at speed, but far from it in other aspects.

Without artifacts that suppressed power, restricted movement, and provided defense, how could they deal with Lin Ye?
