In the skies above, the two figures had become somewhat indistinct at this point.

However, the world continued to tremble and shake.

Ji Yinyue looked up, only able to see a mass of lightning and a mass of cyan flames fiercely battling.

She didn't know what the outcome of the battle would be.

In her heart, she could only quietly pray that no black swan event would occur causing Gu Qijue to be unexpectedly injured.

Even if Gu Qijue couldn't quickly defeat the Medicine Emperor, as long as he could hold him off, it would be beneficial for them.

The conventional forces of the Infinite Group were gradually gaining the upper hand.

The battle formations of the Medicine King Valley cultivator army had already been breached in two places.

As time went on, more and more formations would be continuously broken.

The longer the time dragged on, the greater the chances of victory for the Infinite Group Alliance Army.

On the Saint Tier battlefield, there was also a change unfolding.

Through her relentless fighting, one of the Saint Tier members of the Medicine King Valley had been severely injured by her just moments ago.

Although the opponent hadn't completely perished yet, their combat strength had greatly diminished, even unable to keep participating in the Saint Tier battlefield.

This put the Infinite Group Alliance Army at an advantage on the Saint Tier battlefield.

The Infinite Group Alliance Army was momentarily full of momentum.

Under the leadership of Ji Yinyue, Lie Kong Martial Arts, and Star Source, they were charging forward with mad fervor.

High above, the Medicine Emperor had not yet reached a victory condition with Gu Qijue.

Yet with his experience, he had already sensed an ominous trend.

His authoritative voice soon echoed across the entire sky and earth.

"Medicine King Valley cultivators, form battle formations, retreat orderly."

"Cultivators unable to form battle formations, retreat first, this old man will cover your withdrawal!"

After the Medicine Emperor gave the order, the many cultivators of Medicine King Valley breathed a long sigh of relief.

A large number of cultivators quickly sprang into action.

These cultivators swiftly reformed into battle formations exhibiting incredible defensive capabilities.

Other cultivators who couldn't form battle formations followed the Medicine Emperor's orders and swiftly evacuated the battlefield.

Upon witnessing this, Ji Yinyue didn't wait for Gu Qijue to issue orders; she directly commanded, "Stop them, don't let them escape, eliminate all opposing combat units!"

Following her command, the Infinite Group Alliance Army promptly took action.

Numerous combat units of the Infinite Group Alliance Army charged fiercely towards the Medicine King Valley cultivator army.

A relatively rare scene unfolded on the battlefield as the vast battleground began to break apart.

A portion of the Infinite Group Alliance's combat troops were engaging with the battle formations of Medicine King Valley.

Meanwhile, many other combat units of the Infinite Group Alliance began pursuing the fleeing Medicine King Valley cultivators.

The Infinite Group Alliance Army pushed forward relentlessly, while the Army of the Medicine King Valley retreated in an orderly fashion.

The formidable strength of Medicine King Valley was once again fully revealed at this time.

Back when the Great Yan Dynasty faced a similar situation, they were pursued without mercy by Gu Qijue's order, completely annihilated.

The Great Yan Dynasty, a major force in the Celestial Domain, collapsed entirely, with only a few members of the Great Yan Royal Family successfully escaping.

The other powerful figures of the Great Yan Dynasty were all slain on the battlefield.

It was different with Medicine King Valley. As one of the top powers in the Celestial Domain, they not only had an Emperor Tier patriarch seated but could also retreat in an orderly manner.

If they fled chaotically, they would naturally be hunted down by the Infinite Group Alliance to the end.

Seeing Medicine King Valley's cultivator army able to conduct an orderly retreat, Gu Qijue's regard for Medicine King Valley increased.

Of course, Medicine King Valley was still retreating, indicating they were at a disadvantage.

They still paid a price during the retreat.

In the prior engagements on the battlefield, the Medicine King Valley's ten-million-strong cultivator army had only incurred a casualty rate of about twenty percent.

During the pursuit, even though the interaction was brief, they quickly amassed an additional ten percent casualties.

This made the already morale-boosted Infinite Group Alliance Army even more fervent.

The Infinite Group Alliance originally had eight and a half million combat forces.

After a round of fighting, they also sustained losses on the scale of millions.

However, during the subsequent pursuit, the loss rate of the Infinite Group Alliance greatly slowed down.

Because at this time, the cultivators of Medicine King Valley were no longer intent on fighting, only thinking about retreating.

In this process, as long as one's strength wasn't too weak, nor luck too bad, they almost wouldn't perish on the battlefield.

During the pursuit, the technology weapons of the Infinite Group Alliance shone once again.

The various technology weapons of the Infinite Group Alliance had very long ranges.

Furthermore, these technology weapons didn't require the Infinite Group's combat troops to provide energy.

Unlike the various magical treasures and other treasures of the Medicine King Valley cultivator army.

When these were used, they needed to be powered with their own spiritual power.

The Infinite Group Alliance's technology weapons were entirely different.

Portable missiles, for instance, didn't require much explanation — what was fired were missiles, not their own energy.

Weapons like laser-based or other energy-based devices also consumed energy that's built into the weapon itself, not from the energy of the Infinite Group Alliance.

This battle was undoubtedly of prolonged duration.

Rather than one battle, it's more accurate to say it was three.

At the beginning, both sides arrayed themselves outside the Medicine King Valley territory.

In this stage, the combat was positional warfare, with both sides setting arrays and exchanging blows.

The second fight was a pursuit battle.

When the Medicine King Valley cultivators realized they were at a disadvantage, they began retreating orderly.

Though it was an ordered retreat, the skirmishes never ceased between the sides.

Throughout this retreat, the Medicine King Valley cultivators bore severe costs.

When they retreated all the way back into Medicine King Valley territory, the third battle commenced.

Unlike the initial positional and subsequent pursuit battles, this third conflict was a siege battle for the Infinite Group Alliance.

Upon entering their own domain, Medicine King Valley's cultivators utilized various advantages for a home-ground defense.

Arrays, war beasts, various treasures – all these were brought forth by the Medicine King Valley cultivators at this point.

Contrary to the sweeping success in the pursuit, the siege battle phase brought immense resistance to the Infinite Group Alliance combat units.

Nevertheless, with all riding the wave of victory, it was not something the Medicine King Valley cultivator army could continue to withstand.

One after another, arrays were relentlessly destroyed.

One after another, immortal cities of varied scales fell in succession.

The cultivator army of Medicine King Valley found itself continually forced to retreat.
