Night was drawing closer to Ye Wushuang, and with every passing moment, his restraint wore thinner.
Perhaps in the very next instant, he would launch himself at the Night God without holding back.
And the Night God, meanwhile, was still reveling in the sense of control he held over Ye Wushuang’s fate.
He even felt that, in the next moment, he could annihilate Ye Wushuang once and for all.
But just then, a clear, resonant voice rang out.
“Night God, it seems you’ve regressed the longer you live. As a Supreme Being, you’re actually stooping to attack a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor realm? How utterly disgraceful!”
The words echoed in the ears of many.
Immediately after, everyone saw a figure suddenly appear before Ye Wushuang.
This figure was tall and imposing, wreathed in crackling lightning from head to toe.
His arrival instantly drew the attention of countless onlookers.
Even Ye Wushuang found his gaze involuntarily fixed on this person.
But when he got a clear look at who it was, he couldn’t help but freeze in surprise.
He had seen this man before—and was, in fact, very familiar with him.
It was none other than the Thunder God, who had frequently crossed paths with Ye Wushuang in the past.
What Ye Wushuang hadn’t expected, though, was that the Thunder God would show up at this very moment to defend him.
At this point, the Night God still hadn’t recognized Ye Wushuang. He was simply standing in front of him to shield a prodigy of the Tianyuan Universe from the enemy before him.
But the Thunder God’s appearance immediately soured the Night God’s mood.
The Thunder God’s law of lightning power was, to some extent, the natural counter to the Night God’s own law.
If the Thunder God decided to take him on, the Night God’s strength would be heavily constrained.
Because the Thunder God’s lightning could pierce through and illuminate the Night God’s darkness.
Under such circumstances, the Night God’s power would be drastically limited.
And so, once the Thunder God appeared, the Night God ceased his assault on Ye Wushuang.
He redirected all his focus toward the Thunder God.
“I didn’t expect you to show up as well.”
“If I hadn’t, would I have just stood by and let you bully the prodigies of our Tianyuan Universe?”
“Hmph! You think just because you’ve shown up, you can defeat me?”
“Whether I can or not—don’t you already know the answer?”
“Come! Let’s settle this beyond the heavens!”
The Night God could not tolerate such a challenge.
In an instant, he issued a direct battle challenge to the Thunder God.
And the Thunder God showed not a trace of fear.
The moment those words left his mouth, he followed without hesitation, heading beyond the heavens to face the Night God in combat.
As for Ye Wushuang, he was left standing off to the side, ignored by all.
For a moment, Ye Wushuang just stood there, dazed.
But he quickly snapped back to his senses.
“No—I need to seize this chance to earn as many military merits as possible. Only then can I obtain more resources!”
Though he had already slain a great number of Supreme Realm experts, Ye Wushuang was far from satisfied.
Now that he had exposed a significant portion of his true strength, life would no longer be so peaceful for him.
In fact, he might be forced to reveal even more of his power later on.
So, while he still had some control over the situation, he needed to boost his strength as much as he could.
Only then could he truly take command of his own fate in the days ahead.
Others had no idea what was going through Ye Wushuang’s mind—but the Divine Dragon Empress understood him completely.
And so, while Ye Wushuang was carving a bloody path through the enemy ranks, she too stopped concealing her presence and joined the fray.
Compared to Ye Wushuang, however, she kept a much lower profile.
He had already slaughtered close to a thousand Supreme Realm experts, while she had only taken down a little over a dozen.
Her kill count was still astonishing—both among Immortal Emperors and Supreme Realm powerhouses.
But with Ye Wushuang’s dazzling record overshadowing everything, the Divine Dragon Empress no longer stood out as much.
That meant she could fight freely without worry.
As a result, she too amassed a huge number of military merit points, which she could later exchange for abundant resources once the war was over.
Of course, many eyes never left Ye Wushuang.
His presence alone had effectively turned the tide of the battlefield.
Before he appeared, the forces of the Yemotian Universe had held the clear advantage.
After all, they had mobilized a full ten million troops for this war.
They vastly outnumbered the Tianyuan Universe in both Immortal Emperor cultivators and Supreme Realm experts.
And in battle, they had been relentlessly pushing the Tianyuan forces back.
If not for the fact that this was the Tianyuan Universe’s home turf, layered with countless defensive formations, their cultivators would have already been crushed.
Earlier, even though they hadn’t been completely routed, every single one of them had been suppressed.
That suffocating feeling of being pinned down was unbearable—so much so that they felt they had no chance of ever turning things around.
At the same time, their hearts had been praying nonstop for reinforcements to arrive.
Once their reinforcements showed up, they could finally breathe.
As for a counterattack—they hadn’t even dared to dream of it.
The gap in numbers was simply too vast. So vast that the people of Tianyuan never even considered striking back.
But things changed completely once Ye Wushuang went all out.
He hadn’t targeted the Immortal Emperor cultivators directly, nor did he reduce their numbers significantly.
But he did go after the Supreme Realm experts—and he cut them down in droves.
In a sense, he had alleviated an enormous amount of pressure from everyone else.
With so many Supreme Realm threats neutralized, no matter how many Immortal Emperor cultivators remained, they no longer posed a real danger to Tianyuan’s Supreme Realm powerhouses.
In fact, a large portion of Tianyuan’s Supreme Realm experts could now spare their attention to take on the Immortal Emperor cultivators from the Yemotian Universe.
This brought a wave of relief to countless people.
“We’re saved—we’re actually saved!”
“Phew! I thought we were doomed for sure this time. Turns out, not everything is lost!”
“Just surviving—that’s all that matters. And it feels incredible!”
Ye Wushuang’s full-force assault made everyone feel as though they had been granted a second chance at life.
Especially those Supreme Realm experts who were no longer swarmed by overwhelming enemies—their despair began to lift.
And as they watched Ye Wushuang continue his relentless slaughter, they felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Gazing at him cutting through the enemy lines, they couldn’t help but voice their gratitude.
“He is our savior! We owe our lives to him!”
“Phew! Thank goodness we had him on our side—otherwise, we would have been finished for sure.”
