The clones were like gods of war on the battlefield, swiftly reaping the weak alien beasts.
One after another, alien beasts fell to the clones' hands, only to be replaced by another wave that was also mercilessly slain.
On the battlefield, human warriors fell, and so did alien beasts.
Broken limbs and torn flesh were strewn everywhere, blood pooling on the ground, making every step a sticky mess. Many had grown tired after fighting for a while.
They gathered together, whispering to each other, trying to alleviate their inner fear and anxiety.
"Fortunately, the Blood Dragon Army and other major forces are holding the front line. I'm so exhausted; my arms are aching."
"I've almost used up all the seventh-tier pills I exchanged with my war merits. If we can't win, I'm done for."
"What's there to fear? At worst, we'll self-destruct and take a few with us before we die."
"That's right! If they can self-destruct, so can we!"
These few men leaned back-to-back, panting as they rested, discussing the self-destruction fanatics. Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed from afar.
Hundreds of self-explosions followed in quick succession, stunning everyone.
Both humans and alien beasts instinctively stopped their attacks.
The humans felt a mix of joy and sorrow. They quickly scanned their surroundings and, upon realizing it wasn't their own people self-destructing, breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the alien beasts were greatly alarmed. The recent self-explosions had killed tens of thousands of their kind, and many, though not dead, were no longer able to fight.
This immediately reminded them of the terror they had experienced not long ago under the reign of self-destruction. They became wary, looking at the humans before them, always afraid that their opponents would self-destruct if they couldn't win.
"Soldiers, do not fear! Unleash your full strength and strike them down with a single blow, giving them no chance to self-destruct!" an alien general roared.
"Roar!" Many alien beasts understood and stopped holding back.
Countless alien beasts roared and charged at the humans once more.
The two sides clashed again. With the sheer number of forces committed, victory was impossible to determine for the moment.
The recent self-explosions were, of course, Lin Yu's doing. Seeing that his clones' energy was almost depleted, he had them self-destruct and then summoned another batch.
The new clones headed to the battlefield, while Lin Yu took out pills and swallowed them to replenish his depleted energy.
At the same time, he meditated to restore his physical strength and energy.
He was preparing for a protracted war.
On the battlefield.
Lin Yu's clones reappeared, spreading out and slaughtering the low-level alien beasts.
"Ding, killed Three-Striped Horned Crocodile (sixth-tier), upgrade points +12000!"
"Ding, killed..."
Alien beasts died one after another, but it didn't cause much of a stir on the battlefield.
At this moment, a cry for help suddenly rang out not far from the clones.
This caught Lin Yu's attention, and he quickly directed his clones to go there.
He recognized the voice of the person calling for help, and it was none other than Bai Xiaosa.
Since the war began, which had been about half a day, Bai Xiaosa had messaged him, saying he was with his academy's seniors and teachers.
He had even suggested Lin Yu join them, but Lin Yu had refused.
At the time, Lin Yu thought that if he was with his teachers, his safety should be guaranteed, so he didn't bother him further.
Lin Yu, however, had his own plans and naturally wouldn't join them.
He hadn't expected to hear his cry for help on the battlefield.
When the clones arrived, they saw Bai Xiaosa's teacher lying in a pool of blood.
A group of students, led by a tall and handsome man, were desperately resisting.
The man leading them was a senior student, only twenty-two years old this year, and already possessed sixth-tier combat power, a genius among the students.
However, on the battlefield, he realized what true cruelty was, and what lay beyond the heavens.
With his sixth-tier combat power, he could indeed be a king in some small cities within human territory. But in the war against the alien races, he was like a small boat that could be capsized at any moment, only able to follow his teacher and barely survive.
Their teacher was a seventh-tier awakened being. With his talent level, he could fight an ordinary eighth-tier alien beast to a draw. On this battlefield, the teacher had repeatedly led them to escape from the pursuit of eighth-tier alien beasts several times.
Even though they had been extremely careful, they had still encountered trouble this time.
An alien beast with extremely powerful bloodline talent had targeted them.
After a fierce battle, although the opponent was also a seventh-tier alien beast and the teacher could barely fight it to a draw, a stronger eighth-tier alien beast appeared later.
With one at the seventh-tier and another at the eighth-tier, and both being of the same race, with powerful bloodline talent and higher rank, the teacher was naturally no match. He fell in a pool of blood, dead.
With their teacher dead, it was their turn next.
Despair appeared on their faces. Someone suggested, "Classmates, let's learn from that senior and prepare. Let's self-destruct together. Even if we die, we'll take the enemy with us!"
"Yes, at worst, we'll perish together."
"Help! Someone save us~" At this moment, Bai Xiaosa suddenly shouted.
The people around him looked at their usually stern classmate in astonishment, their mouths agape.
It seemed as if they were blaming him for lacking backbone, or perhaps scolding him for breaking the atmosphere.
Lin Yu had heard the cry for help and had come here. He glanced at Bai Xiaosa, who was shouting for help, and then at the two alien beasts, and couldn't help but laugh.
He walked over with a smile, "Well, well, isn't this a Frost Dog? I didn't expect you to be a genius among alien beasts."
Lin Yu's sarcastic mockery stirred dissatisfaction in the two alien beasts.
They let out a cold snort and looked at the group of Lin Yu's clones.
"Human, you actually know my race. Then I'll give you a complete corpse today," the seventh-tier alien beast sneered.
At this moment, the eighth-tier alien beast pulled it aside and whispered, "Be careful later; they are all seventh-tier humans."
The seventh-tier alien beast was slightly startled but quickly calmed down. They were merely seventh-tier humans, and they were genius alien beasts. They couldn't be its brother's opponent; its brother was eighth-tier.
On the human side, seeing reinforcements arrive, they all showed joy.
"Thank you for your support, but the enemy is powerful..." said the tall man from the Dongxu Academy.
Before he could finish speaking, he was met with a blast of cold air from the Frost Dog.
The cold air shot out with unexpected speed. The man had no time to react and was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Humans, you are too noisy. You will all die here today!" the eighth-tier Frost Dog roared at the sky.
Woof~
The seventh-tier Frost Dog followed suit, also roaring at the sky.
Woof woof~
"Frosty Heaven Slaying!"
"Ice Heaven Splitting Earth!"
Suddenly, a hundred-meter-long Frost Dog's head appeared in the sky, lunging to devour the clones.
At the same time, on the ground, the ice power rapidly condensed, forming a thick layer of ice. Once it encountered any living being, this ice would quickly climb up and freeze the being solid.
Bai Xiaosa and the others quickly retreated, but they were no match for the speed of the ice. They were stuck to the icy ground, unable to move, and were about to be frozen to death.
Just then, the ice also reached Lin Yu's side. Dozens of ice clones stepped out from behind Lin Yu.
They stomped their feet, and a blue energy flowed into the ground, pushing back the ice power on the ground.
Crack!
The ice layer cracked, shattering into pieces.
But at this moment, another killing move arrived.
The massive dog's head, a hundred meters long, descended as if to swallow the sky.
Lin Yu, seeing this, didn't panic. He immediately released skills as Fire and Thunder.
Fire Thunder Heavenly Prison!
Rumble!!!
Dozens of Fire Thunder Heavenly Prisons appeared above the dog's head and flew swiftly towards it.
The eighth-tier Frost Dog was slightly surprised, exclaiming, "This is the Fire Thunder Heavenly Prison of the Qianyu clan. You actually obtained their skill crystals!"
"Enough nonsense, die!" Lin Yu shouted.
