Chapter 218: Consider Defeat Before Victory

"Escape from here immediately! Flee back to your own divine kingdom!"

However, having fished for so long, how could Yang Da easily let them leave?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Volleys of Void Realm cannons condensed and fired continuously.

Meanwhile, inside the Zhenjie Xuantian Great Wall.

A large number of Yang Fan's followers formed a formation simultaneously.

Ten Halls of Yama Formation!

Terrifying Yin Qi soared into the sky.

Countless followers began a full-scale pursuit.

At this moment, the war completely turned into a one-sided massacre.

A large number of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators flew on swords, yet they carried Intelligent Weapons on their backs.

As the mechanical structures shifted constantly, they sometimes transformed into psionic rocket launchers, and other times into laser turrets.

With a single shot, large swaths of alien followers were blown into minced meat.

They didn't even need to engage in close-quarters combat at all.

Only when encountering strong opponents of the same level would they truly draw their swords.

And under the blessing of the War God Record, even these followers on the Cultivation Route had Physical Bodies that far exceeded ordinary Cultivators.

While their attack power was powerful, their defense was equally astonishing.

Many aliens managed to charge to the front with great difficulty, only to find that these Human Race Cultivators were also absurdly strong in close combat.

It was a complete crushing!

At this moment, those Thousand Poison Swamps that were originally the most inconspicuous became the biggest death warrants.

When attacking, advancing the front line was not difficult. But now, in their defeat and flight, it became a true dead end.

A large number of alien followers were trapped deep in the swamp, letting out continuous screams.

There were even many Foundation Establishment Stage and Qi Refining Stage experts who, in order to survive, abandoned their comrades and fled through the air alone.

Some beast-race Cultivators even kicked their companions into the swamp, just to buy themselves a moment of time.

The cruelty of war was displayed vividly at this moment.

…

Twenty demigods. Nearly one hundred billion followers, and the vast majority of them were beings above the fifth rank.

But now, nearly ninety percent had died in Yang Fan's divine kingdom.

Looking around, the entire outer area of the divine kingdom had long since turned into a living hell.

Blood gathered into rivers, severed limbs were everywhere, beast corpses piled up like mountains, insectoid minced meat covered the ground, and a large number of undead bones were scattered all around.

There were even many corpses of Human Race Cultivators floating in the sea of blood.

A thick smell of blood rushed towards them. The entire world seemed to have been dyed a dark red.

Ling Xuzi was completely stunned.

She had lived for a long time and had followed quite a few masters. But this was the first time she had seen such a terrifying demigod.

This strength… is it really a demigod?

Ling Xuzi felt her worldview constantly collapsing.

The next moment, she actually plopped down on her knees, her face full of fanaticism.

"Congratulations to Master for your unparalleled Divine Might, sweeping across all directions!"

"What demigods? Before Master, they are nothing but worthless scum!"

"Master is wise and martial, calculating without omission. Today's battle is destined to shake the Human Race!"

"For Ling Xuzi to follow Master, it is as if the ancestral graves are emitting blue smoke—no, it is the blessing of the entire Void Spirit Race for eight lifetimes!"

At this moment, Ling Xuzi was bootlicking without using her brain at all.

And Yang Fan, watching her comedic behavior, just smiled faintly.

Then, he slowly looked at Yang Da.

"Next, arrange for Yang San, Yang Si, and Yang Wu to organize the troops. Go and invade these divine kingdoms respectively."

"Yes, Master!" Yang Da was full of excitement.

"After this battle, the resistance in the enemy divine kingdoms has greatly decreased. I believe it won't be long before the divine kingdom cores are brought back."

Yang Fan nodded in satisfaction as well.

At this moment, he even faintly felt that there was no need to continue buying divine kingdom coordinates from the Mall in the future.

This fishing method clearly had greater returns.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped into Yang Fan's mind.

"These ten-thousand-year soul nourishing wood… how about I don't sell them for now?"

But soon, he suppressed this thought.

The most important thing now was to take advantage of the opponent's weakness and swallow these demigod divine kingdom cores as soon as possible.

Moreover, this soul nourishing wood could bring in a full 50 billion divinity points in revenue; keeping them in the divine kingdom would be a bit of a waste.

Although the profits from fishing were large, they were also accompanied by huge risks.

Although Yang Fan was confident in his own strength, no one could guarantee it. Next time, would he really fish up a shark capable of turning back and biting him?

Consider defeat before victory. Only in this way could the path of the divine kingdom go further.

After thinking all this through, Yang Fan finally gave the order to sell all the mature soul nourishing wood.

Then, he repurchased a new batch of soul nourishing wood seedlings and planted them into the divine kingdom.

As the divine kingdom's area expanded, this time, a full 8 trillion soul nourishing wood plants were planted.

After doing all this, Yang Fan did not continue to pay attention to the subsequent development of the divine kingdom.

The f3500 fighter jets and nine profound ice towers lost in the war had all been repurchased and replenished.

And most of the remaining funds were continuously invested by Yang Da into the development of the Mechanical Civilization.

In addition to this, some funds were used to purchase f-class transformation pods.

After all, as the area of the divine kingdom continued to expand, the population of followers would also see explosive growth.

Under the blessing of the A-grade defense card, the population in Yang Fan's divine kingdom was skyrocketing almost every day.

…

Under this rapid development, Yang Fan could clearly feel that the feedback he received from the divine kingdom was getting stronger and stronger.

Especially his Physical Body strength, the changes were the most obvious.

Due to the existence of the War God Record, the Martial Route was rapidly spreading in the divine kingdom. A large number of followers embarked on the path of martial arts.

And these powers would also continuously feedback into Yang Fan himself.

Nowadays, he could even feel every day that his Physical Body was transforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His blood energy was becoming more and more majestic. His muscles and bones were becoming increasingly strong.

Just by standing there, he faintly gave people a feeling of pressure like a humanoid Vicious Beast.

In the real world, it had only been ten days. The first batch of divine kingdom cores had already been brought back.

In order to accelerate the pace of the war, Yang Da even purchased five more high-level war-type intelligent life from the Mall.

They were named from Yang Liu all the way to Yang Shi.

As Yang Fan's divine kingdom continued to develop, the scale of future wars would only become larger and larger.

Even high-level war-type intelligent life could not completely control the overall situation.

Only with more command nodes could the war be pushed forward more precisely.

With Yang Fan's current assets, he naturally didn't care about this small expenditure.

Then, Yang Fan's consciousness entered the divine kingdom and absorbed all eight divine kingdom cores brought back this time.

These divine kingdom cores were each as tall as a Half-man.

As the absorption was completed, Yang Fan's divine kingdom area skyrocketed again.

It increased by nearly 20 million square kilometers, an overall expansion of nearly 70%!

These demigods who had invaded his divine kingdom were not weak in their own right.

It was just that their core combat power happened to be shattered by a wave from the taixu war sky-boat.

Therefore, the benefits brought by these divine kingdom cores were naturally extremely astonishing.

As the divine kingdom's revenue continued to increase, the once valuable Monkey Wine Spring now seemed rather lackluster.
