Chapter 3307

At the bottom of the valley, the zombie suppressed by the Demon-Sealing Stele let out whimpering threats when it saw them returning.

Ye Liuyun and the others immediately stopped in their tracks, advancing no further, and together began casting incantation techniques at the zombie.

They had already figured out the trick—using incantation techniques against these zombies yielded the most remarkable results.

Once golden light enveloped the zombie’s body, it jumped up in shock, even forcefully lifting the Demon-Sealing Stele off its body for a moment. But the stele immediately pressed down again afterward, preventing the true essence within it from being activated at all.

Ye Liuyun’s golden eyes saw clearly that any true essence emanating from the zombie’s origin core would be instantly absorbed by the Demon-Sealing Stele. And if it didn’t use its true essence, it could actually struggle against the stele for a while longer.

The zombie roared repeatedly but was helpless against this special method of attack. Meanwhile, the power of Buddhist light was eroding the true essence within its origin core. Whether it used its true essence or not, it would eventually be completely depleted.

Finally, the zombie erupted with all its true essence, preferring to have it absorbed by the Demon-Sealing Stele just to attack Ye Liuyun and the others. Unfortunately, after passing through the stele’s absorption, the true essence it unleashed was pathetically weak and couldn’t even reach Ye Liuyun.

However, this was already the strongest evil creature Ye Liuyun had ever encountered—being able to launch attacks even under the suppression of the Demon-Sealing Stele. He estimated this was due to the stele’s insufficient strength combined with the zombie’s excessive power.

Judging by this zombie’s strength, its cultivation realm should have reached the Tai Void Realm. However, since its attacks hadn’t fully manifested and even its aura couldn’t be released, Ye Liuyun couldn’t accurately determine its specific realm.

Ye Liuyun and his clone both stopped casting incantations, allowing the Demon-Sealing Stele to continue absorbing the zombie’s power. After releasing its true essence, the zombie had already been pinned down by the stele, so there was no need to continue wearing it down with incantations—it was better to let the stele absorb it instead.

The Demon-Sealing Stele continued until it completely drained the zombie dry, then smashed toward the mountain behind the corpse, creating a large hole before returning to Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness.

Ye Liuyun estimated that there must be some treasure inside that cave, and the stele was giving him a hint. There shouldn’t be any more evil creatures inside; otherwise, it wouldn’t have returned to his sea of consciousness.

"This Demon-Sealing Stele certainly has quite the personality!" Both clones also shook their heads with bitter smiles.

Nevertheless, they still cautiously entered the cave.

The interior space wasn’t large; everything could be seen at a glance. Inside were only five piles of Five Elements spiritual marrow, much of which showed signs of transforming into demons within the liquid—the quality was extremely high. Presumably those zombies used such things to refine their bodies.

"All excellent resources for body refinement!" Ye Liuyun didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately stored everything into his spatial world.

Apart from these body-refining Five Elements spiritual marrow, there was nothing else in the cave.

After exiting the cave, Ye Liuyun and his group began excavating source power from beneath where the zombie had lain.

The source power here had been contaminated by the zombie’s aura and couldn’t be used for cultivation—only as energy for warships or fire-powered combat vehicles—but after all, resources were resources and shouldn’t be wasted.

After collecting the source power, Ye Liuyun and his two clones circled around this planet once more. Having confirmed they found no other resources, they hurried toward the next planet.

This time they were even more experienced, releasing everyone capable of fighting. First came the Death Legion battling outside, then replaced by the Demon Race Legion, and finally the demon beasts cleaned up.

Disciples of the Tang family and the women could also practice their skills, seeking opponents suitable for themselves.

However, this time the location of the source power was beneath a pitch-black mountain peak. The Demon-Sealing Stele once again took the lead, flying directly to the mountaintop and smashing down at one spot before erupting with roars and attack sounds from zombies.

"It probably found another powerful zombie!"

Ye Liuyun thought no more about it and simply followed where the stele led.

That mountain peak seemed to be made of some special metallic ore with an extremely rigid composition. During their ascent, numerous pitch-black corpse demons rushed out from within the mountain to intercept them.

Ye Liuyun and his clone used Buddhist light power combined with sword intention to slash them down. When they encountered ones that couldn’t be cut even by blades, they directly used their golden eyes to release white light, melting away those zombies’ origin cores to kill them directly. Then they still used incantation techniques in coordination with the Demon-Sealing Stele to eliminate that strongest zombie.

However, this time the stele gave them no hints. After searching around and finding no special resources, they moved the entire mountain mass into the Nine Dragons Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, allowing the Golden Crow Sacred Flame to continue refining it. Then they dug out the source power and hurried toward the next planet.

This star system wasn’t particularly large to begin with—only slightly over one hundred planets total. After mastering their technique, Ye Liuyun’s group harvested very smoothly, obtaining abundant resources and materials for body refinement and artifact forging on each planet.

Ye Liuyun collected everything uniformly for now; he had no time to distribute them yet.

The soldiers and those around him had also undergone thorough tempering. Many had seized this opportunity to break through to higher realms.

The final planet was also the core planet of this star system.

Ye Liuyun didn’t let the Death Legion or the Demon Race Army come out; instead, he directly had Ye Tiandao lead those ten thousand female soldiers out for training, and he didn’t even let them ride ferocious beasts—he wanted them to fight relying solely on their own strength.

The zombies on this planet possessed relatively high cultivation realms and physical bodies alike. The lowest among them were at the Seventh Level of the Unity Realm, and coupled with the fact that these female soldiers weren’t quite accustomed to fighting such creatures, they screamed out loud in fright as soon as they encountered these zombies.

Fortunately, there weren’t many zombies at first; after adapting for a while, those female soldiers gradually found their rhythm and began performing normally, allowing the squad to start pushing forward.

"They need more actual combat experience!"

Ye Liuyun actually thought this was quite normal; he simply told Ye Tiandao to lead them into battle more often for training in the future.

With only ten thousand female soldiers facing undead demons across an entire planet, the pressure was indeed immense for them. However, Ye Tiandao had equipped them all with energy storage stones, which allowed them to persist for a full two days.

Then Ye Liuyun finally released Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan’s armies from his spatial artifact, letting them relieve the female soldiers so they could continue gaining combat experience until reaching very end.

The Demon Vine came out once to absorb its fill before going back inside sleep for two days each time. Ye Liuyun couldn’t see any signs of it breaking through either. This time it went back inside sleep again immediately upon arrival anyway so he hadn’t counted on its help anyway.

The final forbidden zone on this planet turned out be a great hall within a palace complex deep inside royal grounds .

After continuously absorbing energy over these past few days ,the Demon Sealing Stele’s power kept rising steadily .Ye Liuyun estimated that dealing with evil entities at Eighth or Ninth Level Unity Realm wouldn’t pose any problems now .

But when it charged inside thistime ,it remained suppressed there unable descend completely .When checking its position via spiritual sense connection ,both original body clone discovered themselves standing right before entrance leading into said great hall —indicating presence particularly powerful entity lurking within .

Before entering themselves though ,Golden Pupils already detected numerous powerful zombie existences scattered throughout palace grounds .

Thus First Avatar donned his Demon Hunter Armor while wielding his Demon Hunter Bow ;Second Avatar equipped himself with Void Grade armor protecting body using Buddhist light radiance shield technique .
