Chapter 400: The Flaw of the Human Army

After eliminating two cannon fodder assault teams, the Giant Human Wall has already closed in to just over a kilometer from the Bone Spike Tribe’s army.

With a command from Tai Shi, the Giant Human Wall halted and launched an attack on the Bone Spike Tribe’s forces.

Terrifying lightning and fire dragons once again engulfed a five-kilometer area ahead, sweeping over a million warriors from the Bone Spike Tribe into the chaos.

They tried to run in all directions, desperately seeking to escape the coverage of the Spell Attack, but they were decisively blocked outside by the army’s Inspection Team.

If left unchecked, their panicked retreat would cause an astonishing chain reaction, leading to a complete collapse of the entire army.

They could only cut off the tail to survive, isolating all warriors within the area covered by the spells, helping the Giant Human Wall prevent their escape.

“Chief, it seems that the enemy also knows that stopping to attack for a single assault team is not cost-effective; they haven’t halted their attacks as they did the first time.”

Once the army was stabilized, the commanding strong warrior transmitted a message to Bone Spike Chief: “Moreover, this unknown race is surprisingly skilled in mid to short-range attacks. I wish to form an elite team and try to catch them off guard. What do you think?”

“Alright!”

Bone Spike Chief confidently replied at once.

The commanding strong warrior ordered the retreat to continue while assembling over ninety elite warriors to form a team of one thousand.

Filled with hope, they aimed to use this team to eliminate the significant threat posed by the Giant Human Wall.

Even if they could only temporarily break through, it would give the army a lot of time to retreat.

…

In outer space, inside the flying treasure.

Yi Chen, who had been closely monitoring this intense battle, furrowed his brow slightly.

He paused his understanding of the principles of heaven and earth and, with a thought, sped up his flight within the grand hall.

While suppressing his realm to a low level of the Spirit Law stage, he circled around the hall rapidly, using his hands to send waves of fire dragons roaring outward.

Squeak!

In a weak and feeble state, the Little Gold Ball sprang up excitedly, chasing after the fire dragons.

However, less than half a minute later, Yi Chen came to a stop.

“It seems it really comes down to the use of spirit power and the proficiency of the Cloud Treading Technique and various Spell Attacks!”

Yi Chen realized.

The Cloud Treading Technique and the Method of All Laws are both skills he created.

As the creator of these two powerful techniques, possessing an astonishing talent, he understands and uses spirit power with exceptional skill.

Though he rarely spends time practicing his skills, his application of these techniques has reached an extraordinary level.

Thus, even when he suppresses his realm to the Spirit Law stage, he can still fly and unleash various Spell Attacks simultaneously.

However, the warriors of the Great Flame Empire, who are only slightly more talented than ordinary citizens, clearly cannot achieve that.

To Yi Chen, this appears to be a considerable weakness and flaw.

Yet, after pondering it over and over again, he found no better solution.

If this weakness and flaw could be improved, there is no doubt that the team combat ability of the Great Flame Empire’s army would see an astonishing enhancement.

The Great Flame Empire’s army has the Cloud Treading Technique, which he created and continuously refined, ensuring that their movement speed rivals that of any race known for its speed.

At the very least, at the same cultivation level, even without using the Teleportation Technique, human cultivators using the Cloud Treading Technique can still be faster than the Swift Tribe, who are naturally adept at the wind laws.

If they could use the Cloud Treading Technique while maintaining formation and casting spells to launch wide-area or focused attacks, the Great Flame Empire’s army would truly become a mobile killing machine.

Even the enemy army, which may vastly outmatch the overall strength of the Great Flame Empire, would only be worn down.

Unfortunately, this flaw cannot be resolved merely by improving the skills.

These techniques have already been refined to their utmost limits at various levels.

Each version of the skills, in terms of power, spirit power consumption, and effectiveness, has reached an optimal state for its level.

To make these techniques easier to use would mean reducing their quality as well.

That would weaken their power, which is not a worthwhile trade-off.

Since the issue cannot be fixed by altering the skills, the solution lies in constant practice to deepen the understanding of spirit power and the use of various techniques, allowing them to maintain their formation while casting multiple skills.

Additionally, waiting for the warriors’ average cultivation level to break through to the Stage of Separation would also help resolve this problem.

After breaking through to the Stage of Separation, the warriors’ talents may not enable them to condense a separation like him, but they can surely multitask.

Their control and application of spirit power and skills would significantly improve, enabling them to easily maintain formation while casting multiple techniques.

Returning to the Throne, Yi Chen began to contemplate the principles of heaven and earth and the power of the laws necessary for creating new skills.

Squeak…

The Little Gold Ball, feeling a bit disappointed, slinked back to his feet.

It thought Yi Chen had some fun planned, but it turned out it had overthought it.

“Want to go out and play?” Yi Chen asked with a smile.

The naturally lively Little Gold Ball had become increasingly quiet since following him.

This made him feel like it had lost a bit of its original playfulness.

However, he had no time to take the Little Gold Ball wandering around.

“How about I make you a chief general and send you to Bai Ruo Xin to fight?” Yi Chen suggested.

The Little Gold Ball nodded eagerly, then hesitated for a moment before gesturing with its little hands.

“Sure, I’ll send you over. If you want to come back after playing, just call for me, and I’ll come to pick you up.”

Yi Chen understood the Little Gold Ball’s concerns, fearing that he might not bother to pick it up when it wanted to return.

That certainly wouldn’t be the case.

It would only take one or two minutes at most.

No matter how much he disliked wasting time, he wouldn’t mind spending that little time on the Little Gold Ball.

The Little Gold Ball was overjoyed and cheered excitedly.

Yi Chen laughed, then quickly used his divine consciousness to find Bai Ruo Xin, who was busy processing various information for the expeditionary army.

He immediately transmitted a message to her: “Ruo Xin, I’m sending the Little Gold Ball to you. Please take care of it!”

“Okay!”

Bai Ruo Xin usually found the Little Gold Ball troublesome, but during boring times, she welcomed it to lighten her mood.

Having spent her time handling the intelligence organization’s information within the expeditionary army every day, she readily agreed.

Moreover, the Little Gold Ball’s cultivation level had already reached around level eighty-five.

Though this level is not particularly high, it qualifies as a high-end combatant among the Black Tiger Tribe.

However, its role in the expeditionary army is immensely significant.

The Little Gold Ball could easily lead to the success of an entire war due to its terrifying ability.

As the strength of the expeditionary army surged due to the Little Gold Ball, it naturally allowed Bai Ruo Xin, as the head of the Intelligence Organization, to work more easily and have more free time.

With a thought, Yi Chen activated the immortal sword from his storage ring.

The Little Gold Ball immediately understood, jumping onto the sword and tightly hugging its tip with its little hands.

In the next second, the immortal sword shot out with a whoosh, like a flash of lightning, speeding towards the blood-colored planet.

While the Little Gold Ball excitedly shouted, in less than twenty seconds, the immortal sword pierced into the atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, it had entered Bai Ruo Xin’s tent.

The Little Gold Ball hopped off.

Meanwhile, the immortal sword returned along the same path under Yi Chen’s control.
