Chapter 1051: Transformed Monster Beasts

The shadow, seeing the situation was unfavorable, turned to run, but was blocked by a companion and began fighting.

He lost an arm and could no longer suppress the poison outbreak; now he was completely no match for his companion.

He stared at his former companion with hatred, never having understood why the companion would strike him.

But he isn't a pushover. He knew Ye Liuyun's arrow carried deadly poison, and even at death's door he met his companion's punch.

"Let's perish together!"

He let out a roar, and as the companion's punch exploded him, his black blood burst out, splattering the companion's face and body.

Ye Liuyun, however, was behind, calmly waving the Soul Banner and pulling his Yin Soul into it.

His companion stood there dumbfounded like a wooden puppet; soon after, the poison took effect and he fell dead.

Ye Liuyun likewise sucked his Soul into the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner and drew both of their Storage Rings toward him.

"Whoa, as expected of a high‑level shadow, truly wealthy!"

Ye Liuyun gave a rough glance and found that inside each of their Storage Rings were over thirty divine artifacts, countless Spirit Stones and pills.

Ye Liuyun packed the items, cheerfully thanked Huo Hu, and then continued on the road.

That shadow's attack on the companion was due to Huo Hu's illusion; Huo Hu's cultivation was already higher, and being invisible made the move extremely covert.

The shadow never expected such a powerful Earth Sovereign beside Ye Liuyun, so had no guard and fell for the trick instantly.

Because another fifth‑tier Earth Sovereign shadow had not appeared, Huo Hu also did not manifest, staying invisible and trailing Ye Liuyun.

In fact, the situation on Ye Liuyun's side had already been observed by another shadow.

He was just more cautious, keeping distance, so Ye Liuyun's Primordial Spirit Secret Technique could not detect him.

And Huo Hu's Shadow Concealment Technique was also underdeveloped, unable to detect him.

Although he didn't know how Ye Liuyun operated, he believed his own companion would never strike a fellow, likely affected by some illusion technique.

Thus for a while he dared not rush to confront Ye Liuyun, only continued observing and looking for a chance.

Ye Liuyun walked for two more days, and seeing the shadow still absent, released a Flying Boat and kept moving.

A few days later, Ye Liuyun saw the shadow still unmoving, then released Lei Ming, Xia Tianqiong and others, restoring the prior formation, walking with stops.

But Huo Hu never appeared. When asked, he said Huo Hu was training.

At this time, within Ye Liuyun's Space World, the ferocious beasts such as Ice Demon Tiger that were undergoing transformation finally showed signs, succeeding one after another.

Ice Demon Tiger astonishingly transformed into a graceful young gentleman, completely unlike his beastly form.

The two Dragon Eagles transformed into a young brother‑sister pair, looking very similar.

Qingfeng Wolf transformed into a middle‑aged sturdy man with a short beard, fairly robust.

Unicorn Rhinoceros's transformation was slightly flawed; his form became a man larger than Qingfeng's, but his pointed horn remained even after becoming humanoid, instantly marking him as a Monster Beast.

But he himself didn't mind, instead taking pride in it.

After these ferocious beasts transformed, Ye Liuyun, for ease of calling, simply named them Ice Demon, Eagle Man, Eagle Woman, Qingfeng, and Unicorn.

Ye Liuyun's naming skill is truly poor; fortunately they are beasts anyway, so they don't mind, still immersed in the joy of transformation.

However, Huo Hu at this moment consulted Ye Liuyun: "Boss, can I change my name? Huo Hu is a type of ferocious beast, not suitable as a name! If you call me that in front of outsiders, they'll know I'm a Monster Beast!"

"What do you want to be called?" Ye Liuyun thought she had a point.

"Call me Fire Dance then? Much nicer than Huo Hu!" Huo Hu suggested.

"Fire Dance? That name does sound good! Fine, as you wish, from now on I'll call you Fire Dance!" Ye Liuyun felt the name was indeed far nicer than his own.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun began equipping these Monster Beasts.

Storage Rings, Exotic Scale Armor, pills, Spirit Stones, daily items, etc., were all standard issue.

As for weapons and treasures, Ye Liuyun let them pick freely.

Ice Demon Tiger chose a long spear, mainly because Ye Liuyun's arsenal had many swords, blades, and spears; even if broken, he could replace it.

Eagle Man and Eagle Woman both chose long swords; Eagle Man's was fire‑aligned, Eagle Woman's ice‑aligned, allowing them to coordinate attacks and unleash combo power.

Qingfeng chose a war halberd. Unicorn Rhinoceros selected two circular chain maces, usable as regular hammers and also to be swung at foes.

Ye Liuyun let them familiarize with the weapons inside the Space World, training in human form.

At this moment Ye Liuyun, leading the group, arrived before a mountain range.

The entire range rose tall and endless, stretching beyond sight.

The range has long been occupied by ferocious beasts and is relatively famous on Zhongyang Dalu, called Beast King Mountain Range.

Unlike Demon God Island, this place contains only ferocious beasts, no Monster Beasts.

In Cheng Yudu's memory, the Cheng Clan and Feng Clan often send disciples here for trials.

The beasts within the range have relatively high realms; it's said the Beast King has reached the mid‑to‑late stage of the Celestial Sovereign realm.

Deep in the range, there are many Earth Sovereign late‑stage beasts, so ordinary people can only circle the outskirts, hunting lower‑realm beasts.

Ye Liuyun plans to lead the group into the mountains to practice, and also draw out the last high‑rank shadow.

These shadows are extremely precise in timing assassinations, often landing a strike when a person is distracted.

Ye Liuyun intends to fight a beast, giving the shadow a chance to act.

At this time, Fire Dance sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun: "I'm familiar with this place. I was taken from here by someone!"

"That's great! We'll go in and try to draw out that shadow member." Ye Liuyun hadn't expected they'd end up at Fire Dance's home.

"No problem, as long as he dares to follow, I'll make him reveal himself!" Fire Dance said confidently.

"Alright, you lead the way, I'll follow your direction!"

Ye Liuyun immediately let Fire Dance guide, leading the group into the Beast King Mountain Range.

He let everyone walk ahead, taking the rear to cut off, fearing the shadow might ambush others.

Soon after Ye Liuyun's party entered, that shadow followed in. He knew this was the Beast King Mountain Range and was ready to strike.

When Ye Liuyun's group fights the beasts, that's the optimal moment for him to act.
