320: Total defeat
Lin Ye quickly found himself with no time or energy for worries.
Because the War had already been launched by the War God Clan.
For them, rather than sitting idly and awaiting death, it was better to stake everything, using their last bit of strength and passion to add to the supreme glory of the War God Clan.
A large-scale War thus broke out.
Lin Ye did not join the God Race's formations, but instead chose a method that could yield the greatest benefits.
Whenever an Ancient War Gods fell, countless members of the War God Clan who had fortunately escaped the formation and survived would be born.
And these surviving members of the War God Clan were all the most powerful existences, and the spoils of War they carried were even more valuable.
The God Race did not express much dissatisfaction with this; after all, for every top War God Clan genius hunted down, one God Race member could be spared.
They even hoped that Lin Ye could hunt down a few more.
Furthermore, the most important thing was to obtain a large amount of spoils of War by destroying the Ancient War Gods formation. Destroying one formation meant countless members of the War God Clan were annihilated.
“Kill!”
Accompanied by a roar, another Ancient War Gods reached the peak limit of his power. He used every last bit of his strength, gathering all the dying counterattack power of the War God Clan warriors into one point, and then unleashed an earth-shattering axe strike.
This axe strike contained endless power and killing intent, as if it wanted to tear apart the entire universe.
The two Ancient Gods besieging him dared not be negligent in the slightest; they worked together and used all their might to defend, but even so, one God was still brutally severed of an arm.
And in the aftermath of this world-shaking blow, nearly a hundred God Race warriors unfortunately perished.
“The talent of this War God Clan is truly terrifying; a dying blow, a do-or-die effort, even if it doesn't succeed, it can bring unbearable heavy damage to the enemy.” Lin Ye watched this scene from afar and couldn't help but sigh.
The War God Clan, indeed, is a race born for battle!
However, that Ancient War Gods ultimately could not sustain himself, his body collapsed to the ground, and he bravely fell in battle.
When the number of people lost in a formation reaches a certain limit, it will collapse.
The specific proportion of losses depends on the performance of the people inside. Some will collapse after losing 70%, while others will collapse after losing 50%.
The remaining more than two hundred surviving War Gods scattered, attempting to find an opportunity to make a comeback.
They were not foolish; they knew that War was not merely slaughter, but a contest of strategy and wisdom. They would never speak lightly of a fight to the death unless absolutely necessary; similarly, they would not make meaningless sacrifices.
“Want to run?” Lin Ye, who had been waiting for a long time, set off.
With Xiaobai's speed, his speed was far ahead.
And there were also many Faith God artifacts—spears—that he had recently borrowed or acquired.
Faith God artifacts are not personally nurtured by their owners and cannot be bound; whoever obtains them owns them.
Lin Ye activated the spears, throwing them one by one.
The spears, imbued with his full power, like soul-reaping chains, carrying Collapsing Star Force, hunted down the members of the War God Clan one by one.
In this late stage of the War, too few still possessed artifacts, and even ordinary Faith God artifacts could not withstand Lin Ye's attacks.
Only Master God artifacts could withstand them.
Therefore, only a few people blocked Lin Ye's attacks.
After one round of throwing was completed, Lin Ye quickly retrieved the seven spears, not even having time to collect the spoils of War scattered on the ground, and then unhesitatingly continued his pursuit.
At this moment, the most crucial task was still to expand the results of the battle as much as possible.
Because if these War God Clan members successfully escaped and hid within the vast battlefield, then hunting them down later would become extremely difficult. At that time, even if a hundred times the current time and effort were invested, it would probably be difficult to achieve the desired harvest.
With the collapse of one Ancient War Gods after another, Lin Ye gained a lot.
However, at the same time, the God Race's losses were also quite significant. Under the desperate counterattacks of those Ancient War Gods, the God Race suffered heavy losses.
Even more shocking was that one of the most powerful Ancient War Gods actually killed three Ancient Gods in a row!
That War God was entirely composed of War God Clan elites, with no other races present, and they seemed to have undergone rigorous training, able to maximize the strength of the Ancient War Gods.
And it wasn't just him; other ordinary Ancient War Gods also generally achieved kills when they erupted. Even in a disadvantageous position, the War God Clan still displayed unexpectedly powerful combat strength.
Lin Ye couldn't help but secretly rejoice that if the War God Clan's strength hadn't been greatly weakened, then it would probably be them who were fleeing in disarray now.
As the last War God fell, the War ended.
Only two thousand members of the War God Clan survived, while twenty-three thousand members of the God Race survived.
This was an unprecedented great victory for the God Race.
However, Lin Ye was not very satisfied with his gains.
For every Ancient War Gods that collapsed, he could hunt down a dozen or so survivors, but that only yielded a few Level 5 black holes and dozens to hundreds of Level 4 black holes.
This was already the result of him trying his best to hunt down the strong ones.
However, any entity with a Level 5 black hole has significant backing, usually equipped with Master God artifacts.
If they were determined to escape, it was already good that he could intercept a few.
“A total gain of over 130 Level 5 black holes and over 3,000 Level 4 black holes!” Lin Ye looked at his gains, with not much joy in his heart.
Although these black holes were numerous, they were still far from the quantity he needed.
It was almost impossible to gather the required black holes this time. And what about next time? When would the next time be? Would it waste too much time? There were too many variables and unknowns.
Lin Ye knew that the God Race had learned of his powerful combat strength, and he was unsure if they would give him another chance to enter. He didn't want to risk gambling on that possibility; he just wanted to gather the required black holes as soon as possible.
However, reality was cruel; the current deficit was too large, more than half, especially the lack of Level 4 black holes. Facing such a distant goal sometimes truly made one feel powerless.
In desperation, Lin Ye could only continue to wander around, constantly hunting down members of the War God Clan.
With his invincible combat strength, and with the War God Clan's main forces already defeated and unable to organize the massive lineup that once besieged him, he could act even more recklessly.
However, despite this, Lin Ye still did not relax in the slightest; he exchanged many unneeded spoils of War for the right to use two Master God artifacts, to enhance his own strength and ensure his safety.
Now that the War God Clan was in full retreat and the crisis was over, naturally, some people were willing to exchange the right to use artifacts for something practical.
Their own efficiency in searching and hunting was too low; it was better to earn a usage fee.
But even with Lin Ye's high efficiency, his gains were not much.
He couldn't help but miss the old days.
