Chapter 1728: The Start of the Battle

"Trash!" roared Mao Gangqiang as he furiously slapped the alien into mincemeat.

He had sent 80 Gods and 5,000 Saints after that group of humans, yet they had been defeated just like that. He couldn't accept this result.

In his eyes, an alien was as good as 10 humans. Even if the humans had 10,000 or 20,000 people, the group he had sent should have been enough. The other aliens turned murderous after hearing about the defeat. All of them volunteered to go against the stray group of humans. When the young Gods heard about the result of the ambush, complicated expressions covered their faces.

"I did not expect that Xiang Shaoyun would really be able to kill those aliens. His victory comes just in time to recover our morale," said Gongsun Sanyang with a smile.

Unlike Qin Jiu, who only sought instant benefit, he was able to face all challenges with a calm mind. An individual like him would make for a far more terrifying opponent.

"How did Xiang Shaoyun do it? Did the aliens send only weaklings after him? Was he merely lucky?" asked someone doubtfully.

"I doubt things are that simple. Can't you see how angry the aliens are? They must have suffered a disastrous loss," said someone else.

"Looks like Xiang Shaoyun has really done something we can't. Why don't we start the war directly? That would be much better than wasting our time with these matches," suggested someone.

With the recovery of their morale, they started wanting to end the pointless matches and get the war started.

"Send out a group of 10,000 to eliminate that group of humans," commanded Mao Gangqiang furiously. He then roared at the humans, "Scheming humans, I thought we agreed to have fair matches between those of the same cultivation level? Since you went back on your words, don't blame us for being impolite as well. Everyone, kill these humans!"

None of the humans had expected that the aliens would suddenly decide to attack. The human army sank into panic. They were completely unprepared for war, so they were immediately suppressed by the opposing army.

"Everyone, stay calm. We have more people. Let's work together and slaughter them all!" Gongsun Sanyang grabbed the chance to start issuing commands.

He then took the lead and unleashed a stunning attack toward the aliens. Qin Jiu was naturally unwilling to let Gongsun Sanyang hog the limelight. He thus attacked as well. With that, a battle erupted between the two sides. Countless attacks were sent flying between the two armies, throwing the battlefield into complete chaos.

At the same time, a group of 10,000 aliens quickly headed to Xiang Shaoyun's location. This group was much stronger than the first group, and it was led by two ninth-stage Gods. They also had five eighth-stage Gods in their ranks. There was no doubt that they were an extremely powerful army. The two ninth-stage Gods were Zhu Ganglie and Xiong Tianba. They were members of two ancient beast races with powerful bloodlines.

"Those humans won't be weak. We can't be careless. Perhaps there might even be an ambush waiting for us. You guys from the three-eyed race, pay attention to our surroundings. If you make any mistakes, all of you will be turned into food!" commanded Zhu Ganglie.

"Yes, lord," replied the three-eyed alien respectfully.

With his third eye, he constantly scanned their surroundings. He was confident that nothing could hide from his detection. Unfortunately for him, his third eye wasn't powerful enough to help him see everything. There existed a god-grade formation called the Heart Bewilderment Formation.

The formation did not target one's sight or soul sense. Rather, it targeted one's heart and emotions, causing one to feel immense pride and arrogance for no reason. As a result, one would underestimate all enemies.

That was what was happening to the three-eyed alien. He was extremely dependent on his third eye and was confident that his third eye could see through everything. Filled with this confidence and pride, he was unaware that he had already fallen under the effect of the formation, causing even his third eye to weaken. He could not see the terrifying killing formation surrounding them.

Both the Heart Bewilderment Formation and the killing formation were laid out by Xiang Shaoyun, Zhuge Zhantian, and a God Realm formation master from the Guangling Palace. Only with the three working together were they able to complete two god-grade formations in such a short time.

Of course, Xiang Shaoyun was still the one to put the majority of work into the two formations. After all, he had a much higher mastery over space. In fact, his mastery over space was so high that even the God Realm formation master felt inferior in his presence.

The moment the group of aliens entered the range of the formation, Zhu Ganglie and Xiong Tianba noticed the formation. However, it was too late for them as the killing formation exploded immediately.

Rumble! Rumble!

Numerous spatial explosions erupted, unleashing a terrifying level of destruction that instantly destroyed the alien warship and killed many aliens. At the same time, numerous attacks shot toward the aliens from all directions.

"Damn the three-eyed race! They didn't even notice the ambush!" Zhu Ganglie roared furiously as a boar-shaped shield appeared in his hand. He threw the shield out, and the shield started enlarging, eventually becoming large enough to shield the majority of the aliens from the bombardment.

As for Xiong Tianba, he took out two god-grade hammers and swung them. The two hammers were akin to two spiraling stars that smashed through the many incoming attacks. The other aliens also made their moves, focusing on protecting themselves from the bombardment.

"Kill!" Xiang Shaoyun commanded his people.

Both Ling Ziruo and Song Tiandao commanded their people to attack. A continuous stream of attacks was sent toward the aliens. Even so, some of the more powerful aliens still broke out of the encirclement. Zhu Ganglie and Xiong Tianba looked especially impressive, forcing the two ninth-stage Gods from Guangling Palace to personally deal with them.

However, not even the ninth-stage Gods seemed capable of defeating the two. If they couldn't defeat them, this ambush might end disastrously for them.

Just as Ling Ziruo was about to assist the two Gods, Xiang Shaoyun shouted, "Deal with the other aliens. Let me handle these two."

He then sent his invisible soul clone toward the two alien leaders. His soul clone had always been stronger than his main body. With the clone concealing itself, nobody could detect it. However, the battle between the ninth-stage Gods was too intense. Any carelessness would cause one to be hit and killed by one of the stray attacks.

After observing the battle for a bit, Xiang Shaoyun decided to make a move against Xiong Tianba, the stronger alien leader. He pushed his speed to his limits and stepped through the cracks between space to enter a suitable attacking range. Then, he launched a powerful attack at Xiong Tianba's vitals.
