Chapter 228 The War Ends
At this time, Chen Yuan had not yet received news from the main battlefield. He was carefully calculating the gains of this battle in the Shiyuan Hall.
In this battle, he killed a total of 42 Marquis-level Immortals, 53 Army Lord-level Immortals, 50 Realm Lords, 1000 million Domain Lords, and countless ordinary alien races.
Therefore, both the military merits and the gains in primal energy far surpassed those from the previous battle in the Blackwing Tribe's Holy City. His primal energy surged by a staggering 4.18 million, and combined with his existing reserves, Chen Yuan now possesses over 9 million primal energy!
The growth of military merits is even more exaggerated, reaching an astonishing 38.7 trillion, with total accumulated military merits reaching 44.8 trillion.
"This military merit is much easier to obtain than on foreign battlefields."
Chen Yuan himself did not expect to have accumulated enough military merits to exchange for the Burning Heaven True Feather so quickly, and even had a large surplus.
The main reason was that he chose a good location, directly infiltrating one of the alien race's strongholds, and with the assistance of a domain treasure, he easily gained a huge amount of military merit.
In a real extraterrestrial battlefield environment, it would be difficult to encounter so many alien races at once. It would be impossible in the "Shattered Star Belt" area, and would only be possible in a battlefield of the "Flame Sacrifice Continent".
After confirming that the amount of military merits matched his calculations, Chen Yuan immediately opened the army's treasury and spent 10 trillion military merits to exchange for the Burning Heaven True Feather.
He didn't rush to exchange the remaining military merits for points, but instead kept them for future use.
After all, Chen Yuan couldn't be sure whether the Military Merit Treasury would be supplemented with other original core materials later. If relevant materials were indeed put on the shelves and he didn't have any military merits, wouldn't he be devastated?
Furthermore, he wasn't lacking in points, because during this period of hunting alien races, in addition to military merits and primal energy, he had also seized a large amount of spoils:
A rough estimate puts the total value of these spoils at no less than 5 million Chaos Units.
If we add the seventh-tier items he's accumulated over the years, selling them all would allow Chen Yuan's savings to exceed 70 billion mixed units, and these funds can be exchanged for points at any time.
Therefore, Chen Yuan had plenty of cash, points, and military merits.
Even with the privilege of receiving ten times the points, he was in no hurry to redeem them immediately, and would wait until the war was over before making any plans.
As if on cue, just as Chen Yuangang had this thought, he suddenly received a communication from King Jiuzhen.
"Junior Uncle, the battle for the title of King has collapsed."
The first sentence from King Jiuzhen made Chen Yuan's expression change slightly. What happened? Did they lose at the front?
Fortunately, the other party immediately followed up with, "We won! Martial Uncle Yinlan and Martial Uncle Rongshan successfully killed the three Venerables of the Black Mist Clan and are now able to support the front-line battlefield."
"With the assistance of my two senior uncles, the Nine Kings of the Black Mist Clan were killed on the spot, and most of the other King-level Immortals were also killed or wounded. The rest fled the battlefield and are attempting to break through the spatial blockade to escape to the outer realms."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost been scared to death by his junior disciple Jiu Zhen's heavy breathing, but thankfully the news was not bad in the end.
However, he still had doubts. The other side had a high-level Venerable and two mid-level Venerables in charge, and they also had the advantage of terrain for defense. How could they have only lasted three months against the attack of two high-level Venerables? He originally thought it would take at least several years to determine the winner.
And there's another problem: three months have passed since the war started, and this place is not far from the demon race's territory. Didn't these alien races ask the demon race for help?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan directly asked the question.
King Jiuzhen, clearly aware of the inside story, immediately laughed upon hearing this: "How could the Black Mist Clan not have requested help? In fact, the Demon Clan received the news on the very day the war began, and even the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf personally went to war."
"The Lord of Sirius?!" Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "Even the Lord of the Universe has been mobilized?"
"Indeed," King Jiuzhen sighed as well, then chuckled, "It's a pity that Uncle-Master Rongshan made ample preparations before the war."
"Master Youhou and the Lord of Chaos City had already laid an ambush outside the demon realm, blocking the Lord of Heavenly Wolf."
"Not only that, after seeing the Lord of Chaos City step forward, the demon race even withdrew all its reinforcements, leaving the Black Mist Clan to fend for themselves."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Yuan suddenly realized, "The destruction of the three Venerables of the Black Mist Clan was also due to the intervention of the Lord of the Universe?"
"That's not the case." King Jiuzhen shook his head: "To deal with Venerables from ordinary races, there's no need for the Lord of the Universe to take action. My two senior uncles are more than capable."
"After all, one side has a supreme treasure while the other does not. It is already a miracle that these three Venerables of the Black Mist Clan can hold out for three months."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan understood. So it was because of the treasure; no wonder.
However, upon further reflection, it was not surprising that Senior Sister Yinlan and Uncle Rongshan possessed supreme treasures, but the fact that the three Venerables of the Black Mist Clan did not even have a single supreme treasure was indeed beyond his expectations.
In Chen Yuan's view, the supreme treasures were not particularly valuable. If the treasures he possessed were sold in the human race's treasury, they could at least be exchanged for a few ordinary supreme treasures.
When he breaks through to the Realm Lord level in the future, he will be able to optimize the supreme treasure at will.
Of course, Chen Yuan was simply a well-fed man who didn't know the hunger of a starving man, subconsciously ignoring the preciousness of the treasure in the original work.
You should know that even the most ordinary treasure is enough to make cosmic venerables fight tooth and nail for it.
Although the Black Mist Clan has three Venerables in charge, they neither have the ability to create clones to fight desperately, nor are they the pillars of the entire clan. Naturally, they dare not risk their lives to compete for treasures, so it is normal that they do not have any supreme treasures.
However, given their weakness, the Black Mist Clan's decision to provoke a top-tier race like the Human Race instead of staying put was truly foolish, and they deserved to be wiped out.
Now that the kings of the alien races have escaped from the Nine Domains Continent, doesn't that mean that the strongest beings left on this continent are only at the Marquis level? Aren't they easy to bully?
Upon learning that King Jiuzhen and his group were going to pursue the Black Mist Clan's crowned king from beyond the heavens, Chen Yuan understood and ended the communication immediately, instructing, "Ireil, detour to the 'Black Horn Clan Holy City.' We need to reap as much as possible before the news spreads."
"clear!"
Upon receiving Ireil's response, the Primordial Palace immediately adjusted its course and sped towards the Black Horn Tribe's territory.
Twelve days later, after a long flight, Chen Yuan finally arrived above the Black Horned Clan's holy city.
Unfortunately, news of the collapse of the alien front had already spread during these twelve days. Not only did most of the aliens in the Holy City flee, but many human immortals also rushed over to pick up the scraps.
When Chen Yuan arrived, less than 30% of the alien races remained in the Holy City, and there wasn't a single Immortal left.
Adhering to the principle that even a small mosquito is still meat, Chen Yuan still unleashed the Lan Guang Hai Domain, and after avoiding all the humans, he instantly refined the remaining alien races in the city.
However, this trip only yielded 0.6 billion units of primordial energy and several hundred billion military merits, which was even less than the previous harvest from destroying an immortal megacity.
Even the Holy City is in this situation, not to mention the immortal mega-cities, which are already in complete chaos, with alien races scattering and fleeing for their lives.
Chen Yuan shook his head and tried to head to the next holy city.
Unfortunately, the situation in this holy city was even worse. Less than one-tenth of the alien races remained, and their numbers were even fewer than the human warriors in the city.
Faced with this situation, he became too lazy to continue harvesting.
The main reason is that his "monster-stealing" behavior in the Black Horned Clan's holy city has been spread. Now, whenever he appears, he is immediately stared at with wary eyes by the humans in the city.
Since he could no longer accumulate a large amount of military merit and energy, Chen Yuan gave up the idea of continuing his journey and headed straight home.
Wen then returned to his original identity and led the guards on another expedition.
After all, in Li Shan's view, he had only completed the tasks assigned by the military system, and he had not yet met the military merit requirements from the company.
In order not to expose the true identity of the "Silver Armor Man", Chen Yuan led his guards across the Nine Domains Continent, searching for and killing any remaining alien races to accumulate military merits.
However, the journey turned out to be unexpectedly long. The main reason was that although the main force of the alien race had been defeated, the remaining alien races were scattered across this vast continent, making the cleanup efforts much less efficient than before.
A full year and a half later, Chen Yuan and his men finally received news that the war was completely over!
