Under the force of laws, even if Supreme Realm powerhouses gathered together, it would still be extremely difficult for them to survive.
Everyone knew this.
Because of that, countless people on the battlefield fell into despair.
They had never imagined that just as they were about to claim victory, they would face total annihilation in the very next moment.
Even so, however, Black Mountain and Black Rock still rallied everyone together, and at the same time, they did their utmost to expand their defenses, shielding the crowd overhead.
From their actions, it was clear they were trying to protect everyone and give them a chance to live.
Yet deep in their hearts, even they weren’t sure whether anyone would actually make it out alive.
All they could do was keep their defenses up and guard everyone as best as they could.
Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress took note of all this. After exchanging a glance with each other, Ye Wushuang made his move in secret.
He quietly elevated his cultivation level and unleashed a sword intent.
This sword intent was imbued with an immensely powerful sword-law technique, and it effortlessly tore through the laws around it.
In doing so, it carved a sizable opening.
And after striking that blow, Ye Wushuang immediately withdrew his aura and concealed his presence.
At that moment, he looked no different from the other cultivators at the Immortal Emperor realm—struggling desperately to resist, with no flaw to be seen.
However, that single sword strike still drew the attention of many.
In particular, the people from the Yemotian Universe were astonished to discover that, under their assault, over a hundred people had actually survived.
“Oh? There’s actually a sword-path master hidden among the Tianyuan Universe?”
“Hiss! This person is incredibly well-concealed! He actually broke through our laws so easily!”
“To think that an invincible supreme being would still care about some Immortal Emperor and Supreme Realm cultivators—this is truly unexpected!”
Many were intensely curious about the sudden appearance of this sword-law force.
Even the experts of the Tianyuan Universe turned their gazes toward the area where Ye Wushuang and his group were.
But no one suspected that such swordsmanship could have come from Ye Wushuang.
After all, his cultivation level, along with that of the Divine Dragon Empress, was simply too low. At the Immortal Emperor realm, they were merely soldiers on the battlefield.
How could someone like that be compared to an invincible supreme being?
So most experts merely swept their eyes over the area a few times, then looked away.
Afterward, they turned their furious stares back toward the invincible supreme beings of the Yemotian Universe.
“Shameless scoundrels! You even launch sneak attacks on our soldiers—today, you die!”
“Kill them! Kill these despicable wretches!”
“I thought the people of the Yemotian Universe were supposed to be formidable, but it turns out they’re nothing more than petty tricksters!”
Amidst all the shouting, the Yemotian Universe forces clashed with the Tianyuan Universe’s invincible supreme beings.
The moment they engaged, it was earth-shattering.
Even the formation power in this place couldn’t restrain them.
Fortunately, they were fighting far enough away; otherwise, the Supreme Realm and Immortal Emperor Realm cultivators on the battlefield would certainly have been caught in the crossfire.
As for Black Mountain and the others, they felt like they had narrowly escaped death.
“Phew! We survived—we actually made it!”
“We were so close—I honestly thought I was going to die, but somehow I’m still alive!”
“Exactly. We’ve really been through a lot. For cultivators like us, just surviving on the battlefield is already an incredible feat.”
At this moment, Black Mountain and his companions were still shaken. The joy they’d felt earlier at defeating their enemies had been completely washed away.
Just a moment ago, they had been on the verge of perishing right there.
Luckily, an invincible supreme being had stepped in and saved them—and that was no small mercy for them.
It was also a heavy psychological blow.
If they had the choice, they would have loved to go rest right then and there.
But they also knew that the war was far from over—they still had to fight.
That was why no one brought up the idea of resting; instead, they chose to go help other squads.
And with their assistance, those other squads quickly turned the tide.
Half a day later, the million-strong army of the Yemotian Universe had been more than half destroyed.
Only a small portion remained.
But even so, the Yemotian side showed no sign of panic at all. Even their retreat was carried out in perfect order.
“Withdraw! We’re pulling back now!”
“Move out. We no longer have the advantage.”
“We lost this battle. We’ll leave for now and wait for the next engagement.”
This time, the Yemotian Universe had lost several hundred thousand troops—a loss that, by Tianyuan Universe standards, would have been catastrophic.
But within the Yemotian Universe, it didn’t seem to matter much.
They appeared to accept such losses with ease, as if it were perfectly normal.
Perhaps their universe simply had so many powerful beings that they could afford such a cost.
This only made Ye Wushuang even more curious about the Yemotian Universe.
He desperately wanted to know just how many experts they had.
He also wanted to understand why the Yemotian Universe seemed to have so many more strong cultivators than the Tianyuan Universe.
But for the time being, there was no answer to those questions.
Meanwhile, the Yemotian army had retreated, and the Tianyuan forces didn’t give chase.
On the contrary, many people finally let out sighs of relief at that moment.
“Phew! They finally pulled back. If we’d kept fighting, our casualties would have been disastrous.”
“Yeah. If they hadn’t withdrawn, the Yemotian Universe would surely have sent in massive reinforcements, and then we’d have to fight all over again.”
“Either way, we survived this battle, and we even earned military merits! Now we can rest a bit and work on improving our strength.”
On the battlefield, the most important thing was staying alive.
Only by surviving could anything truly be yours.
Next came military merits, which were incredibly important in the Two Realms Mountain.
At first, Ye Wushuang didn’t know this.
But when his squad checked their merits, everyone looked at him in surprise.
“You actually earned a hundred military merits? You got a hundred merits right after stepping onto the battlefield?”
“Th-this… Is a hundred merits really that much?”
“Are you kidding?! Do you know that just ten merits are enough to exchange for a set of cultivation resources fit for a Supreme Realm powerhouse? With a hundred merits, you can get ten sets!”
“And on top of that, you can exchange them for powerful techniques, formidable treasures, or even great opportunities!”
“Ten sets of resources for Supreme Realm cultivators? That’s definitely a lot.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang suddenly felt that coming to this battlefield in the Two Realms Mountain might have been a great decision after all.
