Chapter 1567: Old Trick Repeated

Phew! That was close!

Ye Liuyun let out a breath, taking the blade-intent seed back into his Sea of Consciousness.

Wielding the blade, he must continue to deepen the gap.

However, Man Shu lay prone in Ye Liuyun's arms, motionless.

"How are you?"

Ye Liuyun thought Man Shu had something wrong.

"Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong!"

Man Shu replied flustered, her face flushed red.

Fortunately, her head was leaning on Ye Liuyun's body, so he couldn't see her face.

"Oh, as long as you're okay, let's keep digging!"

Ye Liuyun said to Man Shu.

"Okay!"

Although Man Shu was reluctant to leave Ye Liuyun's embrace, she could only agree.

She then took out a Divine Rank longsword, and together with Ye Liuyun, she dug while storing the excavated meat as food reserves.

They dug for half a day, but the Food Star Beast showed no reaction whatsoever; to such a massive creature, Ye Liuyun and Man Shu were like two tiny bugs on a huge mountain.

Moreover, he himself was recovering from his injuries; the opening they had initially made had already healed.

The tunnel they dug was also slowly healing.

After swallowing Ye Liuyun, the Food Star Beast, to conserve strength and energy, didn't move at all, sinking straight to the bottom of the Fog Sea and falling asleep.

Ye Liuyun and Man Shu were not in a hurry either; they rested when tired from digging, then continued.

"How huge is this Food Star Beast!"

Man Shu sighed with emotion.

They had dug for half a day, and Ye Liuyun had replenished his Mysterious Origin once with a Storage Yuan Stone, yet they still hadn't reached the Food Star Beast's heart.

"We're almost there!"

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had already seen the Food Star Beast's heart, not far ahead of them.

"However, this beast's blood can indeed enhance the power of one's bloodline."

Man Shu remarked with feeling.

"Yes, especially since you haven't used it before; the first use is the most effective! Later we'll dig straight into its heart and take its blood."

Ye Liuyun told Man Shu.

"Then I'll first find a treasure with enough space to hold the blood."

"Ordinary Storage Rings might not be able to contain it."

After saying that, Man Shu really went looking for one.

Soon, they both reached the Food Star Beast's heart.

Seeing the heart before them, larger than a palace, Man Shu was so astonished she couldn't close her mouth.

Moreover, the heart was beating with a throbbing expansion and contraction, the booming sound making both of them a little panicked.

"Hurry up and dig!"

Ye Liuyun didn't stop his hands and continued digging.

Soon they bored a small hole, collecting the blood that gushed out while they drilled straight inside.

Ye Liuyun also released the other people inside the Space World, letting them freely absorb and cultivate their bloodline power.

Outside, the Food Star Beast also felt discomfort and began to scan its interior with Divine Sense.

But Ye Liuyun and the others were so tiny that after a rough scan, it actually detected nothing abnormal.

It merely restored its internal injuries to their original state, then fell back into a deep sleep.

For such a massive beast, even casually shifting its position would incur enormous consumption.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, it would not easily move its position.

Everyone was busy improving themselves, while Ye Liuyun, inside the Space World, opened up a huge lake and poured the blood directly into it.

Man Shu also used a divine artifact to continually collect it, her speed not slower than Ye Liuyun's.

As for the Food Star Beast, it now only felt its eyelids growing heavier and heavier, more and more drowsy.

The blood stolen by Ye Liuyun and them was also being constantly restored through its own self-repair function.

Ye Liuyun and them had been busy for half a day, yet the Food Star Beast's blood had decreased by less than one third.

Moreover, it was recovering quickly.

"If this continues, we won't be able to kill it!"

Ye Liuyun also hadn't expected the Food Star Beast to be so difficult to deal with.

He asked Man Shu: "Can you freeze all the blood here?"

"I can try."

"It should be about right!"

Man Shu estimated.

"Good! Lei Ming can also help you a bit!"

Ye Liuyun had Lei Ming come help as well.

After Lei Ming absorbed the ice bear's Ice Power, this attribute ability greatly increased.

Although it couldn't compare to Man Shu's, it was already much stronger than ordinary ice-attribute Martial Cultivators.

Man Shu and Lei Ming immediately began to release Ice Power, starting to freeze from the heart's center.

If it's just to freeze this blood, Lei Ming himself can actually do it.

But this Food Star Beast is also a Heavenly Venerable Ninth Realm; once danger arises within its body, its True Essence will automatically move to recover and resist.

&

The greater the danger, the stronger the resistance.

So Man Shu is essentially competing with that Food Star Beast in True Essence.

However, she has a slight advantage; she is now inside the Food Star Beast's body, and the beast cannot launch an attack against her.

Before Man Shu and Lei Ming could even freeze the blood halfway, the Food Star Beast's True Essence began automatically gathering at the heart to resist this ice power.

The Food Star Beast also immediately noticed the abnormality inside its body, rechecked the heart's position, and then discovered Ye Liuyun and his companions.

"Roar!"

The Food Star Beast panicked and let out a loud roar.

However, Ye Liuyun and the others are inside its heart, so it cannot attack them at all.

It now has only one method to relieve its own crisis: a Spiritual Soul Attack.

Relying on Divine Soul Power, it will destroy them.

Seeing the Food Star Beast launch a Spiritual Soul Attack, Ye Liuyun finally relaxed.

His and his clone's Divine Soul Power combined are enough to deal with the Food Star Beast.

But he still took out the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner and began waving it.

Even if the Food Star Beast's Soul turns into a Yin Soul, it still has the devouring function; Ye Liuyun intends to collect it for his own use.

With this Food Star Beast's Yin Soul, he no longer needs to worry about any additional Yin Souls that may come.

This Soul battle ended in less than a quarter of an hour.

Under the combined assault of Ye Liuyun's and his clone's Souls, the Food Star Beast's Soul was directly stuffed by Ye Liuyun into the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.

To that end, Ye Liuyun also released nearly half of his Soul to make room for the Food Star Beast.

There's no way around it; the space inside the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner is only that large, so once the Food Star Beast enters, someone must make room for it.

Nearly twenty thousand Yin Souls have nowhere to go.

Fortunately, Ye Liuyun still has three captured Nether Ghost Ships, which can hold them, preventing them from wandering around and causing harm.

Once the Food Star Beast's Soul is destroyed, its True Essence immediately returns to the Golden Core.

The blood inside the heart also instantly froze.

"Is it over already?"

Man Shu curiously asked Ye Liuyun.

"Yeah, all that's left is to dig a tunnel out and then haul away this Food Star Beast!"

"How big?"

"How are we supposed to store it?"

Upon hearing that, Man Shu felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

"Haha, don't worry about it—anyway, it won't be wasted!"

Ye Liuyun laughed.
