Chapter 3348

The Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun, “Even if it’s a soul attack, as long as you give that martial cultivator a chance to react, he’ll draw on the power of his spatial world and crush all of you.”

You have to kill him instantly, before he can react! Forget about searching his soul for information. The gap between your strengths is simply too great! Especially in this environment, you should consider yourself lucky if you can kill him at all!”

At the thought of killing the middle-aged martial cultivator outright and obtaining no information about the Taixu World, Ye Liuyun felt rather regretful.

“Heh, you’re thinking pretty far ahead! You can’t even reach the Taixu World, yet you’re already worrying about worlds above it. I’d like to know the answer to that question myself!

All I can tell you is that I really did come from the Taixu World. In the eyes of martial cultivators from the Taixu realm, your so-called God Realm is merely a middle-level world, while the Taixu World is a high-level world.

Once you reach the Taixu World, you’ll be the weakest of martial cultivators. Still, the three of you have cultivated your physical bodies quite well, so you’ll suffer a little less when the time comes. It’s just a pity...”

But I can give you a chance to experience it. If you can make it into the cave, you’ll feel the true pressure of the Taixu World!”

The middle-aged man chatted with Ye Liuyun while keeping a close eye on the others’ movements. While he was talking, Ye Liuyun and his clone only managed to inch forward two steps before stopping again.

He was eager to see whether the three of them could actually make it into the cave.

The Book Demon’s guess had been right. This was indeed a refined planet released from his spatial world, and it remained connected to that spatial world. That was how it could maintain the crushing pressure of the Taixu World.

Of course, this consumed a great deal of his energy. But it had its advantages as well: it could block the suppression of the heavens and earth here. The laws of this place were completely powerless against him.

“All right, let’s give it a try!”

As Ye Liuyun agreed to the martial cultivator, he used the soul contract to send a voice transmission to the others, telling them to retreat and notify one another to prepare to draw on the power of their spatial worlds to resist the attack.

When everyone heard Ye Liuyun directly warn them to use the power of their spatial worlds to resist the attack, they knew that they had truly encountered great danger this time. Each of them retreated with a solemn expression.

After they withdrew from the valley, Qiong Qi helped set up several layers of defensive formations. Although they would not be of much use, they could at least buy everyone a little more time.

The middle-aged martial cultivator’s divine sense also detected their movements, but he paid them no heed. To him, it made no difference where they went. They could not escape from this planet anyway.

The formations they had set up were as flimsy as paper in the face of the power of a Void-rank expert’s spatial world.

“What is the Taixu World like?” Ye Liuyun began chatting with the middle-aged martial cultivator again, distracting him.

The martial cultivator smiled and did not seem to care. Instead, he told Ye Liuyun, “Don’t imagine that place to be too wonderful. Wherever there are people, there will be survival of the fittest.

The higher-level the world, the fiercer the competition for resources! I offended someone there, so I fled here to hide from the danger.”

“Can people from a higher-level world come to a lower-level world whenever they want?” Ye Liuyun continued.

“Of course not. I broke through the void barrier and crossed the region in between to get here. It was practically a brush with death!” The martial cultivator sighed.

By then, Ye Liuyun and his clone had both drawn on their power of bloodline and advanced another two steps.

They were now only three or four steps from the cave entrance. Yet even that short distance had already made every step unbearably difficult.

The middle-aged man kept watching their movements.

“Your power of bloodline is quite impressive!” he exclaimed admiringly.

Ye Liuyun and the others stopped again for the moment, adapting to the crushing pressure.

“Your physical bodies and power of bloodline are both quite good. I wonder how your true essence and soul power are?” The martial cultivator was probing them as well. The moment he sensed that Ye Liuyun’s soul power was too strong, he would attack ahead of time.

“They’re enough to deal with things in our world, but in the Taixu World, they probably wouldn’t be worth mentioning!” Ye Liuyun deliberately belittled himself to keep the martial cultivator from becoming suspicious.

At that moment, he also circulated his divine essence and advanced another two steps. His two clones circulated their divine essence as well to resist the crushing pressure, but remained where they were.

He was worried that if all three of them entered the cave together, the martial cultivator would think they intended to join forces and launch a soul attack.

Thus, the two clones merely prepared to draw on the power of their spatial world to resist the attack; they had no intention of attacking the martial cultivator.

Sure enough, when the martial cultivator saw that only Ye Liuyun had approached, he relaxed and continued chatting with him.

“Of course. The difference between the true essence of the Unity realm and that of the Taixu realm is like heaven and earth!”

He felt that if Ye Liuyun entered alone, there was nothing to worry about. Ye Liuyun had already brought out all his various powers just to remain standing. So even if he could enter the cave, he posed no threat.

At that moment, blade intent burst from Ye Liuyun’s body. He took another two steps forward and finally entered the cave.

But the instant he entered the cave, the pressure forced his body to bend forward.

“The pressure of the Taixu World is incredibly powerful!”

Ye Liuyun marveled inwardly as he circulated every power at his disposal to resist it with all his might, yet he still could not straighten his back.

The martial cultivator had been somewhat wary at first, but when he saw that Ye Liuyun could not even straighten his back or speak properly, he decided that Ye Liuyun posed no threat.

“Not bad, not bad. For a physical body in the Unity realm to withstand the pressure of the Taixu World is already remarkable! But you’re still going to die!”

“W-wait...” Ye Liuyun was struggling even to speak under the pressure, but he still tried to stall for as much time as possible, hoping to adapt to the pressure as quickly as he could.

“Do it! You won’t see much difference unless you spend a month or two adapting to pressure like this!” The Book Demon urged Ye Liuyun from within his sea of consciousness.

“What? You want me to spare your life?” the martial cultivator asked with a laugh.

“I’m just... curious. If I go... farther forward, will this pressure... become stronger?” Ye Liuyun asked haltingly.

“It won’t,” the martial cultivator replied casually.

But he suddenly wondered whether Ye Liuyun had asked that because he intended to approach him.

Could this kid still have some trump card that would let him attack me?

But just as that thought crossed his mind, Ye Liuyun attacked.

He activated the power of time, freezing time in place. Then, drawing on the power of his spatial world, he dashed toward the depths of the cave while taking out the Godslayer Bow and drawing it.

He reached a spot not far in front of the martial cultivator and fired an arrow straight at his head.

The Godslayer Bow’s fearsome might was not diminished in the slightest by the environment. A single arrow blasted the martial cultivator’s head apart and annihilated his soul as well.

Ye Liuyun waited a little longer instead of immediately restoring the flow of time, then reached out and removed the martial cultivator’s Interspatial Ring.
