Chapter 1290: Practicing the Palm in the Midst of Battle

When the bandit stood in front of Ye Liuyun, a lucky grin still lingered on his face. The others were also enviously admiring him.

However, he didn't catch Ye Liuyun's first move.

Ye Liuyun directly used bloodline suppression, and simultaneously sent out a Qiankun Palm.

Ye Liuyun's current Qiankun Palm technique, Heavenly Earth Creation, is only considered to have reached the pinnacle, allowing him to wield it effortlessly.

The Qiankun Palm, he hasn't devoted himself to practicing it for a long time.

Since the war god Li Yuanlang helped him sort out the direction of cultivation, he has become even less concerned with techniques.

But at this moment, he can also practice a bit.

The current Heavenly Earth Creation technique incorporates a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Power; a single palm strike not only contains Buddha Demon Power, with Fire Flame Power endlessly shifting, but also reaches the peak potency of that palm.

However, in reality, this palm didn't even consume a fraction of Ye Liuyun's Mysterious Origin.

"It seems that the solidification of Mysterious Origin and the strengthening of Heaven and Earth power have greatly amplified this palm's force."

Ye Liuyun didn't pay any attention to the bandit's reaction across from him; he was only observing the power of his own palm.

"It's also time to cultivate a technique suitable for the Life-Death Realm, Boundless Life-Death!"

In the Sea of Consciousness, he began to deduce the Boundless Life-Death technique.

"Ah!"

At that moment, the bandit opposite let out a wail, and was knocked to the ground by Ye Liuyun's palm, unable to rise for a long while.

"So useless, can't even block a single palm?" Ye Liuyun found it somewhat odd.

He had refined this palm to the pinnacle, yet it belongs to a Zao Hua Realm technique. Even if it were stronger, it shouldn't cause an Earth Sovereign Fourth Rank Martial Cultivator to collapse instantly, right?

Ye Liuyun scanned with his Golden Pupil and discovered the bandit was merely feigning injury.

The bandit hadn't exerted his full strength to resist Ye Liuyun's palm.

In his mind, he still thought he needed to lose disgracefully so that Ye Liuyun could save face; after three moves, he could then let him go.

Ye Liuyun smiled, paid no mind, and instead contemplated the method of the Boundless Life-Death palm.

The bandit used his Divine Sense to notice Ye Liuyun's smile, thinking he had bet correctly, then pretended to be in pain, whining "ow ow" on the ground for a while before getting up.

"In the Life-Death Realm, power cycles repeatedly, endless birth and death, that is Boundless!"

Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun attempted to unleash a palm.

This Boundless Life-Death palm consumed nearly half of Ye Liuyun's Mysterious Origin, and Heaven and Earth Power was integrated as fully as possible.

"Boom!"

The bandit was struck, flipping several times, spitting a mouthful of blood far away.

This time he was truly injured.

That was also because he himself was careless.

After Ye Liuyun struck him with a palm, he thought Ye Liuyun's palm force wasn't very strong. So this time, to appear more convincing, when he countered Ye Liuyun's palm, he actually withdrew a bit of True Essence.

His True Essence was already inferior to Ye Liuyun's; withdrawing a bit more, even though Ye Liuyun's palm wasn't very refined, his Mysterious Origin was still solidly thrust forward.

Thus the bandit being knocked down and spitting blood was normal.

Yet Ye Liuyun was quite dissatisfied with this palm.

The attack power of this palm spread too widely, with most of it wasted on empty space. Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Power he mobilized didn't even have half of it merged into the palm, barely qualifying as a basic entry.

"Alas!" Ye Liuyun sighed, drawing the Demon Slaying Sword.

He knew that even if he struck another palm, he couldn't instantly elevate it to a one‑palm kill level.

But he had said three moves; if he couldn't subdue that bandit, he would have to let him go.

He didn't want to release these people and expose his information.

So for his final move, he switched from palm to sword, directly attacking with sword intent.

Given his current sword intent and realm, the bandit, upon seeing Ye Liuyun draw his blade, knew he couldn't escape.

Moreover, under that domineering sword intent, he lacked any courage to flee, dodge, or retaliate, standing upright as Ye Liuyun's blade cleaved him in half.

Ye Liuyun sheathed his sword and called for the next one to step forward.

The remaining few were terrified to the bone.

A Da Huzi bandit stepped forward, pointing at Ye Liuyun and saying, "Your blade we simply cannot block. Clearly you don't intend to let us go! If you want to kill, kill us, don't try to use us for practice!"

Ye Liuyun saw he still had some backbone and smiled, "Very well, I'll give you a chance to live; whether you seize it is up to you."

Then he turned to Lei Ming and said, "Your turn to act!"

"Roar!"

Lei Ming maintained her true form. Hearing Ye Liuyun call her to practice, she happily let out a roar and leapt out.

Ye Liuyun turned back into the Space World, to practice the Boundless Life-Death palm, preparing it for the next encounter.

The Da Huzi's realm is Earth Sovereign Fourth Rank, one level higher than Lei Ming, so when facing Lei Ming, he felt he had more hope.

Moreover, he seized the moment while Lei Ming was flaunting, striking first. Unexpectedly, Lei Ming this time went berserk, her body raging with Demon Qi and Blood Thunder, hardening herself to withstand his attack.

At the same time, a horn atop her head blasted a bucket‑wide Blood Thunder, directly slashing at the Da Huzi, instantly roasting him to a crisp, turning him into a charred corpse.

"Roar!"

Lei Ming let out another excited roar. She hadn't expected her full‑force strike to be so effective. However, her True Essence was nearly depleted; she needed to immediately return to the Xuan Kong Shi to recover before she could fight again.

The thunder‑dragon beast, its body covered in crimson lightning and Demon Qi, appeared even more terrifying to the bandits.

The remaining few Earth Sovereign mid‑stage Martial Cultivators wore even sicker looks.

Now only Ye Liuyun's clone remained for them to challenge.

Ye Liuyun and Lei Ming were beings they could not afford to provoke.

After Lei Ming returned to the Xuan Kong Shi to restore her True Essence, a Demon Cultivator bandit voluntarily stepped forward to challenge Ye Liuyun.

"Dare you fight me directly without bow or arrow?" the bandit asked.

He saw the clone's Vajra Divine Bow was too domineering, so he didn't dare to meet it head‑on.

The clone smiled, "Fine!"

The Demon Cultivator bandit still wore a smug grin, thinking he could give it a try. But the next moment, the clone hurled the Divine Suppression Seal at him, smashing it straight onto him.

"You—" The Demon Cultivator bandit hadn't finished speaking when the Divine Suppression Seal struck him from above.

He tried to dodge the Divine Suppression Seal, but it instantly expanded, covering an area larger than he could escape.

"What's wrong with me? You never said I couldn't use weapons!" the clone shrugged and retracted the Divine Suppression Seal.

"The power isn't small, just a bit slow! It can only be used to block attacks!" he muttered to himself.

All he said was prepared for confronting the Underworld God.
