Chapter 3424

Ye Liuyun’s spatial world was now divided into two parts, each bearing a different level of pressure. With the addition of a planet where time flowed at a different rate, the energy consumption had grown even greater.

Ye Ling was also worried that they would not be able to withstand such enormous consumption, so she asked Ye Liuyun for the origin power of two more Void Worlds and added it to the original origin power. Every day, she also continued infusing the various planets with high-grade Void Divine Crystals.

At the same time, she synchronized one-tenth of the pressure of the Void World with all of Ye Liuyun’s spatial worlds. Thus, even the planets that had been sealed off and protected suddenly came under much greater pressure, though it still remained within what they could withstand.

Only after the problem of accelerated time was resolved and energy consumption within the spatial world reached equilibrium did Ye Liuyun transfer all the planets in his clone’s spatial world into his own spatial world, preparing to merge them.

The planet with tenfold time acceleration became everyone’s cultivation planet. Anyone who wanted to accelerate their cultivation would go there. However, the pressure on that cultivation planet was the same as in the Void World, so many people were still unable to go there for the time being.

Only the demon beasts were best able to adapt to the immense pressure there, and they prepared to break through to the next realm. After Lei Ming, White Tiger, Vespera, Qiong Qi, and the other demon beasts reached the late stage of the Ninth Layer, they also awakened the cultivation techniques inherited through their bloodlines.

After the Dragon Maiden transformed into a dragon, her bloodline underwent several transformations, and with the help of the dragon clan’s predecessors in the Dragon Tomb, it was now no different from that of a Draconis. Thus, after reaching the late stage of the Ninth Layer, she likewise awakened even more powerful dragon clan techniques and cultivated at an accelerated pace alongside the other demon beasts, striving to break through to the next realm.

Vermilion Bird, Chi Lian, and Megalithic Ape were the first to break through to the Void realm, and they were already using the prisoners Ye Liuyun had captured to hone their skills. Only Megalithic Ape was unaffected and could fight normally. Vermilion Bird and Chi Lian had never been particularly strong in combat, so they were still no match for those people.

Among the women beside Ye Liuyun, Luo Yu and Yue Ying were the first to break through to the Void realm. Both of them had been female soldiers under Ye Tiandao’s command, and they now counted as members of the Death Legion.

Ye Liuyun had also asked them about it, and neither of them was willing to leave. For women, breaking through normally and undergoing refinement with the Void Spirit Fluid was simply far too dangerous.

Even if they possessed sufficient origin power, should any soldier take a fancy to them, they would have no ability to resist when the time came.

If they were thrown aside to recover slowly, there was no telling how many dangers they might encounter. Martial cultivators who recovered first might not spare them either.

Without an identity, they would be even less willing to leave. Thus, they both felt that staying with Ye Liuyun was safer.

Because the demonic army had abundant resource reserves, many of them had also broken through to the next realm. However, after asking around, Ye Liuyun discovered that most of the demons were concentrated in the Southern Dynasty, while very few could be found in the western region. Thus, he could not release them for the time being. He could only allocate another planet for them within the spatial world and have those who had broken through temporarily station themselves there.

Ye Liuyun was somewhat reluctant to merge with his clone this time. Without the clone in the future, many matters would no longer be as convenient for him to handle as before.

However, the clone’s strength was now far behind his own, so he could only withdraw the clone for the time being. If he needed one later, he could look for the tree demon and ask for a Myriad Transformation Golden Spirit Fruit. Moreover, according to the tree demon, once the entire spatial world synchronized with the Void World, the quality of the Myriad Transformation Golden Spirit Fruits it produced would be much higher than it was now.

This time, Ye Liuyun merged with his clone, including the soul origins as well. Otherwise, six soul origins would be too many; with their strength divided among them, they would only become weaker. He felt that three were sufficient.

The two soul origins with red pupils and the one with purple pupils were each responsible for merging with the other soul origins. In this way, the soul origins formed after the fusion could still retain their red and purple pupils.

At the same time, the fusion of his bloodline, physical body, essence core, and divine essence was also proceeding.

This time, Yue Hong found it much easier to help Ye Liuyun fuse his power of bloodline. Ye Liuyun had already merged with a clone before, and his power of bloodline was strong enough. Absorbing additional power of bloodline was therefore no longer as strenuous as it had been previously.

The fusion in the other aspects proceeded in the same way, much faster than the previous fusion.

His cultivation realm also broke through soon afterward. He had already been close to breaking through after merging with a clone previously. Now that he had fully adapted to the environment of the Void World, he could break through after absorbing just a little of its energy.

Thus, when the enormous amount of divine essence from the clone poured into his body, his cultivation realm naturally broke through. During this breakthrough, even the divine essence within the clone was not enough. To ensure the quality of his divine essence, he took out and absorbed the last few reserves of Void World origin power he possessed.

Taking advantage of the breakthrough, he also enlarged his essence core and meridians once again. Without the Void World origin power he had acquired previously, the breakthrough and fusion with his clone would truly not have produced such a satisfactory result.

The quality of his divine essence was now more than three times higher than that of ordinary martial cultivators. Even the true essence of disciples from major sects, such as Zhao Yupei, was only half as good as Ye Liuyun’s.

And it was not only their true essence. Their essence cores were also nowhere near comparable to Ye Liuyun’s in size or sturdiness. Not to mention, Ye Liuyun possessed twin essence cores.

Thus, Ye Liuyun himself felt that after reaching the Second Stage of the Void realm, he should be able to fight Zhao Yupei to a draw. His power of heaven and earth and his other forms of power were also no weaker than those of a disciple from a major sect like Zhao Yupei.

However, the fusion of his soul, bloodline, and physical body had not yet finished, so he did not put it to the test. Instead, he hurried to continue refining his clone.

Fortunately, he had solved the problem of accelerated time. After a month, he finally completed the fusion with his clone. However, before he had time to consolidate his cultivation, he immediately went out to check on the situation in the military camp.

During this period, he received two voice transmissions from Liao Yaotian and the others, saying that Zhao Yuanpei had come looking for him. If Commander-in-Chief Haotai had not stopped him, Zhao Yuanpei would have interrupted Ye Liuyun’s cultivation.

“What does he want with me?” Ye Liuyun asked Liao Yaotian and the others after coming out.

“Oh? You really broke through?” Liao Yaotian and the others had all guessed that Ye Liuyun was breaking through, but they had not expected him to actually succeed. Moreover, his realm appeared to be quite stable.

“You broke through so quickly?” Qi Tianlin had also been about to break through, but he had not been as fast as Ye Liuyun.

“Yes. It’s quieter in the spatial world, which makes breaking through easier!” Ye Liuyun did not elaborate and casually brushed the matter aside.

Only then did Liao Yaotian remember to tell him about Zhao Yuanpei.

“I don’t think that fellow means any good. He acted all high and mighty, and he was extremely arrogant. If the commander-in-chief hadn’t stopped him, he probably would have interrupted your breakthrough and taken you away directly.

He didn’t say why he wanted to see you. He came twice, and when he saw that you were still cultivating, he told you to go find him after your breakthrough. He hasn’t come again since.

You’d better avoid him if you can. Whatever you do, don’t deliver yourself to his doorstep. I doubt anything good will come of it!”
