1020. Stalemate in battle
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, the leader of the alliance, faced off against Ling Qingbai, the third elder of the Spirit Clan and a powerful expert at the peak of the two-star Dou Sheng realm.
When they first started discussing things, they hadn't actually considered having Xiao Yan face Ling Qingbai. But Xiao Yan took on the task voluntarily; as the leader of the alliance, he had no choice but to do so.
The alliance is still in its early stages, and this surprise attack on the Spirit Clan is not only its first battle but also very likely its foundational one; its importance cannot be overstated. Xiao Yan faced skepticism even before becoming the alliance leader, and this skepticism will likely continue. Therefore, what Xiao Yan can do now is to win over his allies with his actions and performance.
Of course, Xiao Yan would never lose his mind to show off. From the battle with the Ancient Dragon Clan to now, Xiao Yan has realized that he definitely has the strength to fight against a three-star Dou Sheng level expert.
Of course, the Dou Sheng of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the Dou Sheng of the Spirit Clan cannot be generalized, so Xiao Yan's chosen opponent was not a true three-star Dou Sheng, but a peak two-star Dou Sheng.
Xiao Yan's requirement for himself was: to absolutely demonstrate his value in this battle.
When Xiao Yan and Ling Qingbai first clashed, both were somewhat surprised.
Ling Qingbai was surprised because Xiao Yan's combat power was truly extraordinary. Ordinary early-stage two-star Dou Sheng experts couldn't exert the same kind of pressure on him. Ling Qingbai realized that although his opponent was significantly weaker than him, he could still hold his own, and he hadn't yet found Xiao Yan's weakness.
Xiao Yan was surprised because the Spirit Clan's Dou Sheng was indeed much more difficult to deal with than the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan's experts. Even though he had taken the lead in using the Soul Transfer Technique, he did not gain any advantage in the soul-to-soul clash.
"It's that ability again, Spirit Fusion."
The Spirit Clan are, after all, descendants of the Battle Emperor. Their bloodline contains abilities that others cannot master, allowing them to fuse and use Battle Qi and Soul Power. When combined with the Spirit Clan's battle techniques, these two abilities enable them to unleash even greater combat power.
This prevented Xiao Yan's usually invincible soul power from achieving a breakthrough, leaving him only able to maintain a stalemate with Ling Qingbai. Therefore, Xiao Yan simply slowed down his offensive, relying solely on his battle qi to hold off Ling Qingbai, which was also one of Xiao Yan's strengths.
Apart from Xiao Yan himself, everyone else was quite satisfied with the result.
The alliance's all-out effort this time demonstrates that, on paper, their strength surpasses that of the Spirit Clan. For Xiao Yan, with his early-stage Two-Star Dou Sheng strength, to face a peak Two-Star Dou Sheng and remain undefeated already represents a significant contribution to the alliance.
Xiao Yan himself was never truly satisfied and continued to think of countermeasures during his clashes with Ling Qingbai.
The Fire Glaze Beast Formation has been activated, with all the original strange fire transforming into Flame Glaze Beasts, which fight independently outside the body.
They completely surrounded Ling Qingbai from five directions, and for the time being, they did nothing but spew out various kinds of blazing flames. The scene around Ling Qingbai, who was surrounded in the center, was like a scene from hell.
As Xiao Yan's own strength increased, it also benefited his original flames. After advancing to the two-star Dou Sheng realm, the power of the Flame Glaze Beast increased again. Although the increase wasn't huge, Xiao Yan possessed five different flames, making the overall enhancement quite considerable.
The encirclement by the Flame Glaze Beast did not last long. Ling Qingbai and deep blue Dou Qi broke free and bombarded Xiao Yan.
"After all, he is a Dou Sheng powerhouse of the Spirit Clan. He is indeed not so easy to deal with."
Xiao Yan didn't really think he could defeat Ling Qingbai with just the Flame Glaze Beast. His reaction was also very decisive. The Xuan Heavy Ruler appeared in his hand, and even without the support of the strange fire, he still swung out the Heavenly Desolation Ruler in a simple and decisive manner.
The battle energy released by the two exploded in mid-air, and terrifying battle energy swept out.
After the attack, Xiao Yan's five different flames, like maggots clinging to a bone, continuously invaded Ling Qingbai from the side.
Such commotions were constantly occurring within the Spirit Realm of the Spirit Race. The Spirit Race was fighting to protect their homeland, while the Alliance knew time was of the essence; every battle was fierce and desperate. The clashes between powerful Dou Sheng-level experts, while not enough to immediately collapse this stable space, certainly affected the many inhabitants of the Spirit Realm.
Those who lacked the strength could only watch the powerful figures in the clouds fight, while secretly praying that they wouldn't be affected.
Fortunately, the Spirit Clan's protective formation was strong enough. What Yan Jin destroyed was its ability to protect against external threats, but it did not prevent it from protecting its people.
After all, what the alliance wanted to do was launch a surprise attack on the Spirit Race and wipe out all of their core members. They were not the Soul Race and would not engage in bloody slaughter.
Amidst this commotion, some members of the Eldar race were still able to make adjustments based on the current situation.
As the clan leader, Ling Yuan was also quickly thinking of countermeasures while he was in a stalemate with the Pill Tower Ancestor and Qing Lin.
One command after another was transmitted through Dou Qi. As a peak six-star Dou Sheng, he was capable of doing this even when facing Qing Lin and the Dan Tower Ancestor.
Immediately, beams of light began to shine, and the tiny streams of Dou Qi, which were insignificant in the face of a Dou Sheng, began to converge. These were the many members of the Spirit Clan. Even though they were a minor force among the descendants of Dou Di, and even though the younger generation had been lacking in recent years with few truly talented individuals emerging, the title of Emperor was still incredibly precious on the Dou Qi Continent, and the descendants of Dou Di still maintained an extremely powerful foundation.
A massive protective aura quickly formed, capable of withstanding the aftershocks of the battle between Dou Sheng in the sky, provided no Dou Sheng launched a direct attack. Meanwhile, the Spirit Race's semi-saint level experts gradually gathered, initially hesitant to directly engage in the battle due to the impact of the dozen or so Dou Sheng's attacks.
However, now that more than twenty semi-saint level experts from the Spirit Race have gathered, this is definitely not a force to be ignored. Their commander's thinking is still very clear: what he wants to do is not to directly participate in the battle, but to use the formation to unite as a whole and then support one of the battlefields.
The old man who was originally in charge of supervising the battle as a reserve force discovered this and immediately guessed what these half-saints of the Spirit Race wanted to do.
One or two semi-saint level experts wouldn't make much of a difference in the battle, but the Spirit Race has more than twenty semi-saint level experts. If they were to truly come into play, they might actually cause unnecessary chaos in one of the battle zones, and Elder Yao would definitely not stand idly by and watch that happen.
The soul power of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm began to condense. Before Yao Lao could even make a move, he had already received a telepathic message.
"No need to lift a finger, leave it to me!"
