190: Taotie battle formation, the five elements clones made great contributions

A distance of 100 million light-years seems far, but in reality, it's not much when faced with individuals and races skilled in using Void Power; it's just a few steps.

The Demon Clan thought the same at the time, and then there was no 'then.'

The Demon Clan could not use spatial abilities to cross this 100-million-light-year spatial forbidden zone, but the Expeditionary Force dispatched by the Human Race was unaffected; instead, they could more easily mobilize Void Power and approach the Newborn Demon Domain more smoothly.

The location of the Newborn Demon Domain is actually very close to the 100-million-light-year spatial forbidden zone; one could say the spatial forbidden zone covers the edge of the Newborn Demon Domain.

This was also the reason for the Demon Clan's retreat.

Originally, the 100-million-light-year range between the Newborn Demon Domain and the Human Race's first line of defense was the Demon Clan's deployment area and the future main battlefield.

However, the Human Race used a field skill, limiting the Demon Clan's performance. The timing and geographical advantage belonged to the Human Race; only the 'human factor' could still provide a slight advantage.

Stepping out of their home meant entering the enemy's home ground. This war was half lost before it even began.

Three days later, thirty-seven Expeditionary Forces crossed the 100-million-light-year distance, arriving at the edge of the Newborn Demon Domain in a charging posture.

At this time, over three hundred trillion Inferior Demons gathered at the edge of the Newborn Demon Domain, using their cannon fodder bodies to construct a Demon Realm defense line protecting the core of the Newborn Demon Domain.

When the Human Race Expeditionary Force fleet arrived, there was still some distance from the Demon Realm defense line, placing them outside the Demon Clan army's attack range. Occasionally, attacks from some Middle Demon Race of the Ascension to God rank would cross the star-filled sky and hit battleships protected by formations, but they were ineffective.

[Expeditionary Force Channel]

Commander Taotie: A life defense line constructed entirely by Lower Demon Clan. As expected of the Demon Clan, with their strong population-bursting ability.

Commander Feiyi: A pure war of attrition, it's a bit hard to fight. Stiff battles are the most uncomfortable.

Commander Jiuying: This is the Demon Clan's only advantage. They do indeed have a numerical advantage. It takes us twenty to thirty years to cultivate a basic Tier 6 soldier, but they can produce one in a minute if they wish.

.........

Commander Taotie: Enough idle talk. Let's begin. Raise the Tinder Domain, focus fire, tear open a passage into the Newborn Demon Domain, and just kill.

Upon Commander Taotie's order, as the temporary supreme commander, the other thirty-six commanders replied, 'Received.'

The thirty-seven Expeditionary Forces did not disperse; instead, they used their battleships as nodes to construct a larger battle formation. As the battleship energies interconnected, the Taotie Battle Formation took shape.

Taotie, one of the Four Fiends, is the strongest Expeditionary Force in the Northern Frontier. In all joint operations, Commander Taotie is the supreme commander, possessing the ultimate decision-making authority.

And Taotie, with its characteristic of devouring everything, roams the world, nourishing itself by consuming all things.

Therefore, the Taotie Battle Formation, constructed with the Taotie Legion as its core, is very suitable for attacking the Demon Clan, primarily because it possesses the strongest resource recovery capability.

Any resources located near the Taotie Battle Formation, not limited to various energy-containing items, Demon Clan corpses, etc., will be gathered into the battle formation space by the Taotie Battle Formation and will not be left on the battlefield.

The Demon Clan's utilization rate of resources is also not low; they can use the corpses of Inferior Demons to re-breed a large number of Inferior Demons, and then evolve Lower Demon Clan cannon fodder from the Inferior Demons, with an energy loss rate of about ten percent.

Similarly, any energy-containing resources will be assimilated by the Demon Realm, becoming part of the Demon Realm, and ultimately, naturally, turn into a large number of Inferior Demons.

Therefore, when engaging the Demon Clan head-on, having the ability to destroy the Demon Clan's cannon fodder army is only basic; it also requires preventing the Demon Clan from recovering corpses.

Otherwise, no matter how many Demon Clan cannon fodder are killed, the situation will not change; instead, they will be dragged into a quagmire of war and eventually unable to withstand the consumption, being completely consumed by the Demon Clan.

After all, the Demon Clan's numerical advantage is too great. They only need to keep fighting. If the opponent has no replenishment and their own losses are minimal, over time, the Demon Clan will always be the final winner.

With the Taotie Battle Formation formed, the main cannons of three hundred seventy thousand Ninth Order Gods battleships began charging.

A moment later, three hundred seventy thousand energy attacks, with a minimum of Ninth Order Gods Tier 3 and a maximum of Ninth Order Gods Tier 9, transformed into a meteor shower, piercing through the Demon Clan's defense line, penetrating deep into the Newborn Demon Domain, annihilating countless Demon Clan, and leaving a mess in the Newborn Demon Domain.

Subsequently, the Taotie Battle Formation warped into the gap created by the main cannons, colliding with the overwhelming, tide-like Demon Clan cannon fodder army.

Five hundred billion Human Race warriors left their battleships, using the battleships as platforms to construct combat platforms. On these combat platforms, individual weapon arsenals were naturally deployed.

After all, ninety-nine percent of the Demon Clan cannon fodder are below the Demigod rank, which is precisely within the scope of individual weapon arsenals. As long as the ammunition in the individual weapon arsenals is not exhausted, Human Race soldiers do not need to engage in close combat with the Demon Clan cannon fodder.

Moreover, with the energy shield generated by the Taotie Battle Formation, unless a Demon Clan of Ninth Order Gods Tier 5 or higher, it is impossible for Demon Clan cannon fodder to break through the energy shield.

As for breaking through and destroying the Taotie Battle Formation, it is impossible without Foundation Level, as each Expeditionary Force's commander is a Main God, and there are thirty-seven Main Gods within the Taotie Battle Formation.

For a time, the Taotie Battle Formation was enveloped by countless Demon Clan cannon fodder, losing observation of the outside starry sky. Looking around, fearless Demon Clan cannon fodder were everywhere.

Occasionally, a Middle Demon Race of Ninth Order Gods Tier 5 would tear through the energy shield and enter the Taotie Battle Formation, but they would cause no impact and would be focused down by the Human Race Ascension to God at the first opportunity.

As for the God-ranked Demon Clan, upon sensing that there were quite a few Main Gods in the Taotie Battle Formation, they had no intention of sacrificing themselves. At most, they would break through the energy shield and stuff a large number of Inferior Demons inside, continuously consuming the Human Race's reserve resources.

One can only say that facing the Demon Clan head-on is like this: one can only kill, keep killing, tirelessly killing, until the Demon Clan runs out of resources, or until the Demon Clan deems the continued war unprofitable and actively retreats.

At the same time, a Five Elements Clone belonging to Lin Chen, coincidentally landed in the core area of the Newborn Demon Domain, perfectly positioned at the edge of a spatial passage leading to the Demon Realm.

This Five Elements Clone was the Thirteenth Generation Fire Element Clone. When it was derived, Ninth Order Gods materials were used, and its cultivation after derivation was not low, reaching Ninth Order Gods Tier 6.

The Thirteenth Generation Fire Element Clone immediately entered Spiritual Stealth, doing its utmost to conceal itself. He had to live; his role in living was too significant.

In the Lin Chen Dao Domain near the first line of defense, God Lin Chen and Essence Lin Chen immediately knew the location of the Fire Element Clone.

Even if they had no direct contact with the Fire Element Clone, their distance was not far, allowing them to directly determine its location through the karmic connection between them. This was much more effective and accurate than conventional methods of perception.

"Hehe, the Fire Element Clone's position is exceptionally good."

"I've been preparing the Malicious Beacon for a long time, originally planning to fish, but using it here is very good."

"I have an even better idea. I've had Void Power for so long, and I haven't done anything big yet."

Through the Fire Element Clone's location, God Lin Chen and Essence Lin Chen thought of many things. They were going to replicate what they did to the One-Eyed Giant Race back then.

At that time, he participated in his first foreign war and was still very green. By accident, he directly accomplished the feat of destroying eighty percent of the One-Eyed Giant Race's transportation lines.

Now, he also wants to do something similar to the Demon Clan.

The Taotie Battle Formation can effectively reduce the number of Demon Clan cannon fodder, truly bleeding the Demon Clan, but as long as the spatial passages in the core area of the Newborn Demon Domain still exist, a continuous stream of Demon Clan cannon fodder will arrive.

Therefore, to achieve a phased victory in a short period, the only way is to destroy the spatial passages in the core area of the Newborn Demon Domain, severing the continuous support from the Demon Realm.

Otherwise, the thirty-seven Expeditionary Forces, led by the Taotie Legion, are estimated to be held back by the Demon Clan for thousands of years.

After all, the Demon Clan can truly use Inferior Demons to hinder the development of the Human Race's thirty-seven Expeditionary Forces, primarily to cut off the possibility of the thirty-seven Main God-level commanders advancing further.

Further advancement for a Main God-level is Foundation Level. Every Main God-level has a certain probability of being promoted to Foundation Level, and Main God-levels who can become the commander of a Federal army have an even greater probability of promotion.

In fact, at this point, the Demon Clan's goal in starting the war can be considered achieved.

By using Inferior Demons to tie down the Human Race's thirty-seven Expeditionary Forces, by engaging in one-on-one duels to tie down two thousand Human Race Gods, the Demon Clan's Foundation Level also keep a close eye on the Human Race's Foundation Level.

Regardless, a portion of the Human Race's strength is pinned down in the Northern Frontier and cannot move, which means less strength can move in other directions, and overall development will certainly be affected.

It is precisely because of this that God Lin Chen and Essence Lin Chen are preparing to strike, to pave the way for the Human Race to break the deadlock.
