Xiang Shan put on a smile, “I do have an idea that I want to discuss with you.”
Liu Zhi Ping felt somewhat dejected. In fact, she was an intelligent person; however, after leading the East-West Army alongside Xiang Shan all this time, she realised that she was nowhere as quick-witted as the latter.
When it came to military affairs, while she could see one step in front of her, Xiang Shan could already see three to four steps ahead.
Prior to working with Xiang Shan, who was from Blue Sky Pass, she had already heard a lot about him. It wasn’t until she started working with him that she realised the man was truly gifted when it came to military affairs. He was born with this gift, and no one else could imitate him.
There were a total of 2,000 Arrays Masters and Artifact Refiners who were working together, all of them above the Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm. Before this, the soldiers from the East-West Army had no idea how efficient it would be when so many Array Masters and Artifact Refiners worked together, but now they could witness it.
Right after the Universe World was moved to this place, the Array Masters and the Artifact Refiners started collaborating. It took them two days to fully survey the Universe World’s terrain; after that, more than 10 leaders gathered together and came up with a plan.
Three days later, a Grand Array framework was established on this huge Universe World.
Although three days had passed, the Black Ink Clan still remained silent. It was basically confirmed that the Black Ink Clan wouldn’t launch an attack. If they had the intention of attacking the Humans, they wouldn’t have waited for three days, they would have taken action before the Humans could organize themselves.
The Array Masters and the Artifact Refiners, who were initially in a hurry, became at ease now.
Since the framework had been completed, they just had to fill it with different arrays. They also had to continuously modify the connection and coordination between the arrays.
This framework was the result of the planning of all the Array Masters in the East-West Army, and with the help of the Artifact Refiners, the Array Masters could quickly get any artifacts they needed. There was basically no wasted time.
Although a lot of resources had been consumed, no one would worry about that given the circumstances.
Resources and manpower were naturally of utmost importance in a war.
Back then, in order to attract the Black Ink Clan’s attention, Xiang Shan told the Artifact Refiners to craft several tens of thousands of puppets and send them to Great Evolution Pass. Now, he didn’t mind consuming some resources to build this forward base.
As long as they could occupy the Great Evolution Theatre, they would be able to extract as many materials as they pleased in this expansive void. By then, they wouldn’t have to worry about a lack of resources. They would be rewarded handsomely in the future for their hard work today.
Five days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Over 10,000 individual arrays had been arranged on this Universe World, and with their activation, this Universe World, which was initially just an ordinary rock, now exuded a dangerous aura.
They had made such an achievement in just a few days, so it was imaginable that if these Array Masters were given enough time, they would be able to turn this Universe World into a robust fortress.
All this time, the Black Ink Clan still didn’t take any action.
Xiang Shan and the others had already expected it, so they were not surprised.
Violent energy fluctuations could still be felt coming from the depths of the void. Although they were far away from that place, everyone could still detect the dangerous aura that came from this fallout.
Those were the repercussions of the clash between the Old Ancestor and the Royal Lord.
It had been half a month since their fight began, but the battle still hadn’t ended, and no one knew when it would end.
Finally, there came a moment when the continuous shockwaves abruptly stopped and no more energy fluctuations were felt coming from that place.
At that instant, both the Humans and the Black Ink Clansmen couldn’t help but look in the direction where the fluctuations were previously emanating from, their hearts all seemingly stuck in their throats.
The battle between the two top Masters had ended!
Who was the winner?
Was one of them killed?
The outcome of the battle would affect the fate of these soldiers of the two Races greatly.
As they stared intently, a dazzling light was seen approaching them at full speed from the depths of the void. The moment they spotted this ray of light, it was still far away, but in the blink of an eye, it had moved across millions of kilometres and by the time they blinked, it had become much closer.
While the Humans were excited, the Black Ink Clansmen were horrified.
This couldn’t be helped, as a light of such brightness could only belong to the Old Ancestor. The Royal Lord could never emit such brilliance.
Just like what they had expected, as the light approached, the aura of an Open Heaven Realm Master that could overturn the universe spread out imposingly. There was no doubt that it was the Old Ancestor.
The Black Ink Clansmen instantly went on full alert.
They had no idea what was going on with the Royal Lord, but the Human Old Ancestor had returned while the former was still nowhere in sight. It was apparent that he was in a terrible state.
If the Old Ancestor decided to make a move on them, they wouldn’t be able to counterattack without the Royal Lord around.
In an instant, all the Black Ink Clansmen inside and outside of the Royal City were panicking.
However, they were pleasantly surprised to see that the Old Ancestor didn’t have the intention of attacking them. Instead, she dashed towards the Humans’ side and soon disappeared into the Universe World.
The Territory Lords’ eyes brightened when they saw that.
There was no doubt that the Old Ancestor was badly injured; otherwise, she wouldn’t have ignored them.
In that case, the situation wasn’t as terrible as they thought. Since the Old Ancestor was no longer able to make a move against them, what about the Royal Lord?
While they were lost in their thoughts, from the direction where the Old Ancestor appeared from, a cloud of darkness stealthily approached.
Compared to the grandiose display the Old Ancestor made earlier, the Royal Lord’s appearance was somewhat furtive.
These clever Territory Lords instantly figured out that the Royal Lord must be terribly injured as well, just like the Human Old Ancestor; otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting so cautiously.
When the Royal Lord was close enough, the Territory Lords could feel that his aura was indeed unstable. It was obvious that he was heavily wounded.
They hurriedly went over to protect the Royal Lord.
At the same time, they reported to him what the Human soldiers had been doing and asked him to make a decision on what they should do.
While they were at it, the Territory Lords of different stances argued and accused one another, trying to shift the blame for whatever was to come.
The Royal Lord was already furious to begin with, and seeing his Territory Lords endlessly pestering him, his fury erupted like a volcano. As he released his pressure, the Territory Lords instantly shut their mouths.
