Ye Wushuang’s appearance had indeed saved many of their lives.
That was why so many people felt an immense sense of gratitude toward him.
But the forces of the Yemotian Universe were not about to simply let the Tianyuan Universe claim victory so easily.
While Ye Wushuang was relentlessly cutting down their Supreme Realm experts, those same experts dropped their playful attitudes.
Now, they were fighting with everything they had.
“Quick—kill! Kill them all!”
“Hold on, everyone! As long as we can hold out until our Invincible Supreme makes his move, we’ll wipe them out!”
“Fight! Keep fighting! Don’t show any mercy—make them fear us!”
With their playful demeanor gone, the Yemotian Universe’s forces fought with even greater ferocity.
And that ferocity once again brought a sense of threat to the people of Tianyuan.
Earlier, Ye Wushuang’s involvement had greatly eased their burden.
But now that the Yemotian Universe’s Supreme Realm experts were going all out, the pressure was back on.
Under such heavy pressure, they had no choice but to fight back with everything they had.
Still, their strength fell somewhat short compared to the Supreme Realm experts of the Yemotian Universe.
And with so many Immortal Emperor cultivators on the enemy side, it felt like a devastating blow to the Tianyuan Universe.
At that moment, many were desperately crying out for someone—anyone—to save them.
“Help! Someone save me!”
“Quick—we need reinforcements over here!”
“Please, save me! Any prodigy of the Tianyuan Universe—save me!”
If they had known Ye Wushuang’s name, they would have been shouting it frantically, begging him to rescue them.
After all, at this point, no one else had any spare hands to help.
Only Ye Wushuang had the ability—he could afford to pull back and come to their aid.
But to those desperate cries, Ye Wushuang paid no attention.
He simply continued his slaughter.
He knew that if he tried to save everyone on his own, it would be impossible.
The Tianyuan cultivators were in dire straits everywhere.
If he saved one, he’d have to save another.
And then, not only would he be running himself ragged, but he’d also be toyed with by the enemy.
Worse still, if he wasn’t fast enough, he’d end up being cursed at for not arriving in time.
Ye Wushuang was no saint—he wasn’t about to let anyone guilt-trip him into being a savior.
So, while others screamed for help, Ye Wushuang kept killing.
To some, this behavior seemed perfectly reasonable.
But to those in immediate danger, it looked like cold-hearted indifference.
And many of them lashed out at him for it.
“Why—why won’t you come save me?!”
“Is your blood made of ice? We’re in danger, and you have the power to help—so why won’t you? Why are you just standing there?!”
“Ah! Save me—I don’t want to die here! Please, save me!”
Ye Wushuang ignored them entirely.
Some had already started calling him cold-blooded.
He watched them with a detached, icy gaze.
That only drew even more criticism.
Some even pointed at him and hurled insults to his face.
It wasn’t until Ye Wushuang threw a punch that blasted a Tianyuan cultivator to death that the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent.
The cultivators of the Tianyuan Universe stared in disbelief at what they had just witnessed.
But Ye Wushuang’s expression remained perfectly calm.
“Oops—my hand slipped,” he said flatly.
Ye Wushuang claimed it was an accident, but the Yemotian cultivators burst into loud, mocking laughter.
“Hahaha! Well done! I’ve always hated those hypocrites!”
“Not only did they dare to point fingers at you—they would’ve tried to hold you accountable after the war and make you pay for it!”
“People like them only know how to suppress geniuses like you!”
“So how about it? Interested in coming over to our Yemotian Universe? I guarantee you—no one here will stand on moral high ground and lecture you. In our Yemotian Universe, strength speaks for itself.”
“If you’re willing to join us, with your talent, you’ll rise to prominence in no time. Who knows—someday, you might even become a Supreme Being!”
There were indeed people from the Tianyuan Universe who had been persuaded by such words and defected to the Yemotian Universe.
Some were cowards; others felt they had no choice.
But without exception, once they arrived in the Yemotian Universe, they grew even more powerful.
It was as if that universe held some special kind of magic—one that made its cultivators stronger.
At this moment, the Yemotian cultivators genuinely wanted to recruit Ye Wushuang.
If he were willing to join them, they would pour every resource into nurturing him.
After all, they had never seen a prodigy quite like him.
If they could raise him to his full potential, it would be a massive boost to their combat power.
And at the same time, it would deal a crushing blow to the Tianyuan Universe.
Right now, the people of Tianyuan were watching Ye Wushuang with extreme tension.
Even though many of them had criticized him, now that the Yemotian Universe was trying to poach him, they were filled with anxiety.
Fortunately, Ye Wushuang gave the recruiter no response.
Instead, he threw a punch and killed the Yemotian cultivator on the spot.
He didn’t say a word—but his actions spoke louder than any reply.
That silent stance made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
And with that, the slaughter continued.
The Tianyuan cultivators kept falling at a rapid pace.
Until, at last—the reinforcements arrived.
The Tianyuan Universe’s reinforcements numbered in the millions.
For the soldiers already on the battlefield, this was a cause for immense celebration.
Everyone was filled with excitement.
“They’re here! Our army is here!”
“Hahaha! Finally—our reinforcements are finally here! All that waiting wasn’t for nothing!”
“Phew! As long as they’re here, we’re saved! Now we don’t have to fear the Yemotian cultivators anymore!”
Before the reinforcements arrived, the Yemotian forces had managed to keep the Tianyuan cultivators suppressed.
Even with Ye Wushuang’s overwhelming power, they had still been able to hold the line somewhat.
But once the Tianyuan reinforcements appeared, the entire situation changed.
