Chapter 1584: Multi‑Layer Defense

These people beside Ye Liuyun stood resolutely in front of him, and they even showed contempt for the Underworld God's threat.

This made him thoroughly enraged.

He also changed his mind, intending to awaken Ye Liuyun so that he would watch these people being killed by him.

Then he would not spare their Souls either, making them taste a fate worse than death.

Yet his roar could not harm Ye Liuyun.

The Defense Array of this Side Courtyard treasure is still very strong; aside from Ye Liuyun's spell, other attacks are basically blocked.

Helpless, the Underworld God again began to strike down the Yin Souls the clone had sent, while slapping a palm at the Formation.

With a "Boom" thunderous sound, the Side Courtyard treasure's Defense Array shuddered violently, but it ultimately held.

However, because the Underworld God attacked with both hands at full force, drawing his power, his defense immediately weakened.

The Buddha Light Power that enveloped him immediately seized the chance to pierce his body, for the first time directly weakening his life force.

The Underworld God startled, instantly raised his defensive power again, and blocked that Buddha Light Power back.

The Azure Fire Qilin's eyes were also sharp, instantly perceiving the Buddha Light Power's sudden change.

It immediately told Liang Xue: "Hurry and inform that kid's clone to intensify the attack on the Underworld God.

His defense just now showed a flaw!"

Liang Xue instantly returned to the Space World, sending the clone to dispatch more Yin Souls there.

"Good!"

The clone replied with a nod; this time, he released the Food Star Beast.

The Food Star Beast is massive; a single one can match many Tianzun Realm ninth‑rank masters.

When the Food Star Beast appeared, the Underworld God also frowned.

Its huge body almost filled the entire space.

This was because it had deliberately reduced its size.

And after shrinking, its suction became even stronger.

After entering the Formation, it began to suction fiercely, forcing even the Underworld God to devote all his effort to counter its pull.

His defense, for a second time, showed a flaw and was struck by Ye Liuyun's Buddha Light Power.

Yet the Underworld God's Sword in his hand quickly gained the upper hand, slashing the Food Star Beast twice.

However, its size was so huge that the Underworld God's two sword strokes failed to take its life.

Although the Food Star Beast winced in pain, its suction did not diminish; instead it kept intensifying.

This caused the Underworld God to instantly feel his life force draining rapidly.

"Damn it!"

The Underworld God uttered a curse.

In fact, his original injuries had not fully healed; his life force and realm level had not returned to his peak.

Being siphoned again now, he immediately sensed danger.

He swung his sword fiercely, risking faster life‑force loss, and fully eradicated the Food Star Beast.

Overall, the life force just lost now has little impact on his strength.

Yet he is now fatigued by the wheel‑battle tactic, and his True Essence has not been replenished.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun immediately released another batch of Yin Souls, forcing him to fight nonstop.

"Can't continue like this! It's too passive!"

The Underworld God instantly realized that persisting would be detrimental, and he must break free from this Yin Soul wheel‑battle.

He now does not wish to annihilate Ye Liuyun's Yin Souls; they seem endless, as if they could be thrown out indefinitely.

He now shifts his attention to those people standing before Ye Liuyun.

Thinking of this, the Underworld God, despite being hit by Ye Liuyun's spell and losing some life force, uses it to strengthen his attack.

He also seized the moment, slashing Yin Souls with one hand while bombarding the Formation with the other, finally shattering the Side Courtyard treasure's Formation.

Once the Formation broke, he immediately charged out, shouting at Ye Liuyun, attempting a sound‑wave attack to rouse him.

However, Lei Ming and Man Shu acted early: Lei Ming's demon tower first enveloped Ye Liuyun, then Man Shu waved her hand, forming a transparent ice shield that enclosed the demon tower.

Under so many layers of defense, Ye Liuyun could not even hear the Underworld God's voice, let alone be hit by the sound wave.

Lei Ming and Long Nv also immediately used jade‑transmuted Dragon Bone to launch another attack on the Underworld God.

At the same time, the Azure Fire Qilin, Flame Lion, and Black Panther instantly began to besiege the Underworld God.

Especially the spatial power of the Azure Fire Qilin and Flame Lion, which was comparable to the Underworld God's, allowing them to maneuver against him using spatial force.

The Black Panther, relying on speed, struck and fled, harassing the Underworld God.

"Damn!"

The Underworld God, faced with numerous attacks, could only muster his full resistance for a moment.

Especially the jade‑transmuted Dragon Bone attacks, swift and of divine realm power, forced him to use all his strength to block.

Meanwhile, his life force was now draining even faster and more.

After the Side Courtyard treasure was destroyed, the clone's channel for transmitting Yin Souls was instantly severed.

He immediately released all remaining Yin Souls in his Space World, sending them out to burst from Ye Liuyun's Space World to block the Underworld God.

The Underworld God had just withstood two jade‑transmuted Dragon Bone strikes, being shaken back a step, then forced back two more steps by the Azure Fire Qilin and the other two beasts.

Immediately afterward, countless Tianzun Realm Yin Souls rushed at him recklessly.

The clone also released over fifty ninth‑rank Tianzun Yin Souls, forcing the Underworld God to respond with full force.

He could only retreat while killing.

As a result, although he shattered the Formation, he ended up retreating even farther.

In just a short while, the Underworld God's True Essence had been depleted by more than half, and his Yin Qi also noticeably weakened considerably.

This made the spell attacks even more noticeable against him.

He now felt that even if he exerted all his strength to resist, his vitality was still draining away, only more slowly.

"Damn these ants, where did you get so many Yin Souls!"

The Underworld God cursed in his heart while regretting that he had not brought more troops.

Fortunately, his room to maneuver had also grown larger, allowing many attacks to be dodged.

But after he had dodged far away, he suddenly noticed that Ye Liuyun's spellcraft effect had weakened.

He immediately realized the situation, instantly retreated at high speed, and also stayed out of Ye Liuyun's line of sight.

"Oh no! This idiot finally figured out how to dodge the attacks!"

Qing Lin, upon seeing this, also called out.

"Can this crescent‑moon scepter block several of the Underworld God's attacks?"

Liang Xue asked Qing Lin.

"At most twice, maybe just once!"

Qing Lin estimated.

"I'll set up another defense artifact outside; that should also block one or two of his attacks!"

Man Shu said, and outside the crescent‑moon scepter she used another light ball to form an energy shield.

Thus, outside Ye Liuyun's body there were actually five defensive barriers.

One was the formation flag's defensive array, one was Man Shu's energy light ball, one was Qing Lin's crescent‑moon scepter, one was Man Shu's ice shield, and one was Lei Ming's demon tower.

The others and the ferocious beasts were also inside the third line of defense, and they no longer dared to fight the Underworld God.
