Chapter 3350

The Book Demon also reminded Ye Liuyun that he was now using a higher-grade pill to condense his divine soul. By the time he broke through to the Taixu Realm, using the Marrow-Washing Pill would probably no longer make much difference to his divine soul.

Ye Liuyun, however, did not care. Condensing it sooner or later made no difference—as long as his strength increased, that was enough.

Besides, he still had plenty of room to greatly improve his divine-soul power. Even after reaching the Taixu Realm, it could still remain his greatest strength.

So he temporarily stopped cultivating, came out for some fresh air, and checked on everyone else.

“Big Brother, you came out at just the right time. Our flying boat is so fast that we’re almost at the Sacred Demon Galaxy. There’s a small galaxy up ahead with both human martial cultivators and demons. Let’s eat our fill first, then head down there and take a look?”

As soon as Lei Ming saw Ye Liuyun come out, she immediately ran over and stuck close to him.

“I think you just want to take the opportunity to have a meal!”

Ye Liuyun smiled and immediately roasted meat for everyone, planning to let them eat their fill before taking them out to gain some experience.

His Golden Eyes had already seen the situation in the galaxy ahead. A small number of demons lived on some of the planets, but most of the inhabitants were human martial cultivators. Demonic cultivators, however, made up the majority.

Ye Liuyun figured that the fact this place had survived despite being so close to the demon race meant that the martial cultivators on these planets had close ties with the demons. It was probably something akin to an outpost galaxy for the demon race.

So while he was roasting meat for everyone, he had already reminded them to be mentally prepared.

Xiao Yunfang reminded Ye Liuyun to ask the surrendered demon soldiers about it. However, those soldiers were of such low status that they knew nothing about the situation.

“This place is less than a month away from the Sacred Demon Galaxy. Even if their flying boats are slow, they’ll arrive within two months. Judging from its location, it’s perfect as an outpost galaxy.

Our army should eliminate some of the demons here before advancing on their lair.” Meng Qingyin also made this suggestion to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun nodded in agreement. “That’s right. I was planning to take this place as well. It can serve for both offense and defense. We can wear down the demons here first and expand the size of our army.”

“Then can we attack however we want this time?”

Lei Ming did not care about whatever strategy they were discussing. She was only interested in whether she could fight freely.

“Haha, you! That’s right. You can do whatever you want—as long as you don’t get beaten up!”

Ye Liuyun laughed and agreed. Their army would arrive in a month. The demons and martial cultivators currently in the galaxy were not very strong, and the Death Legion alone would be enough to hold them off until then.

They could also use this galaxy to test the demons’ reaction, get them to send troops here, and then use the galaxy to contend with them while capturing prisoners to replenish their ranks.

Otherwise, they had only a little over seven hundred thousand people in total. To deal with the demons, who were said to have an army of ten million, the numerical disparity was simply too great.

Ye Liuyun also notified the commanders, including Yu Xiaofeng, as well as the Death Legion, telling them to prepare for battle. Nearly half the soldiers in the Death Legion had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Guiyi Realm, so it was time for them to come out and gain some experience.

After they had finished discussing everything, everyone had also eaten and drunk their fill. They disembarked from the flying boat and hurried through the starry sky toward their destination.

In fact, news that another million-strong demon army had been wiped out had already been sent back. But they did not know where Ye Liuyun’s group had come from, and were waiting for confirmation to see whether they were specifically heading toward the Sacred Demon Galaxy.

However, only some of the demons responsible for local administration had received word to watch out for Evil Creature. The other human martial cultivators knew nothing about it.

Before Ye Liuyun and the others could even approach the planet, some demonic cultivators came out to block their way and rob them. Ye Liuyun had the Tang Clan disciples deal with those at lower realms. Those in the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Guiyi Realm were handled by the women at his side, while the powerful ones were left to the demonic beasts.

Everyone got a chance to practice, and they all tried out the strength they had newly gained. Some practiced suppressing others with their bloodlines, some experimented with divine-soul attacks, while others tempered their blade intent and sword intent or used their physical bodies to withstand attacks head-on.

The demonic beasts’ originally limited attack methods also became more varied. In addition to their innate strength, they brought their divine-soul attacks, bloodline pressure, and physical advantages into play. They even incorporated the power of heaven and earth and spatial force into their attacks, greatly improving their combat techniques.

Even Qiong Qi did not use formations or flames in battle. Relying solely on spatial force and the power of heaven and earth, it could contend with an opponent in the mid-stage of the ninth level.

Vermilion Bird and Chilian, meanwhile, focused on improving their physical bodies and spatial force. Ye Liuyun estimated that with their current strength, the two of them would have no trouble dealing with martial cultivators at the peak of the ninth level. Combined with their Red Eyes, Vermilion Bird’s divine-soul attacks, and Chilian’s ability to absorb power of bloodline, they could be considered strong even among those of the same realm.

“It looks like everyone has improved quite a bit during this time!”

After seeing this, Ye Liuyun felt that it was not only he who had improved greatly—the others had made considerable progress as well. Their true essence was also much denser than before.

This was especially true of those who had cultivated the Taixu Qi Refining Formula. They had completely replaced their true essence and adapted to the Profound Essence produced by the Taixu Qi Refining Formula. The quality of their true essence was now far higher than before.

The demonic cultivators who came to rob them were no match for these people. Every wave that came was wiped out, and not a single one escaped.

They dealt with them effortlessly, even discussing and studying their respective techniques with one another, completely disregarding their opponents.

The demonic beasts found the fights unsatisfying, so in the end they took turns challenging Ye Liuyun.

In the end, he used only spatial force for defense and the power of heaven and earth for offense, and no one was able to hurt him.

His spatial force had been powerful to begin with, and after repeatedly condensing giant spirit-energy beasts, it had improved considerably. Now he wielded it with even greater ease.

Even against Vermilion Bird’s flames and White Tiger’s golden spear, he could shatter the void barrier, drag over the void leading to the Taixu World, and devour their attacks.

After gaining insight from enlarging his body, he could also draw upon the momentum of heaven and earth with far greater ease. With a wave of his hand and a single palm strike, he could make others feel as though they were fighting against heaven and earth itself.

Only when facing Vespera and Xenocide did he use his divine-soul power. Otherwise, no matter how strong his spatial force and power over heaven and earth were, he would already be in danger by the time he detected them.

He had to rely on the keen perception of his divine-soul power to evade Vespera and Xenocide’s attacks.

When fighting the Dragon Maiden, he had a sudden inspiration. He used the Thousand Illusions Technique to transform into a golden dragon, then used spatial force to enlarge his body.

A huge golden dragon appeared in the starry sky, its body twice the size of the Dragon Maiden’s. It circled and danced through the stars before stopping to gaze at everyone.

Then he suddenly released the full force of his bloodline pressure, intimidating everyone present into standing stock-still. He suppressed everyone’s cultivation realms. Those with weaker power of bloodline or lower realms could be suppressed by as many as three major realms.

Ye Liuyun was overjoyed. He had not expected this move to be so effective.
