Chapter 1862: Demon Cultivator Restrictions
"I am a Demon Cultivator."
Ye Liuyun said, and also released the Demon Qi from his body.
The Demon Race examined him briefly, but did not make things difficult; as they spoke, their tone softened a bit: "Demon Cultivators may enter, but we need to check your storage spaces so you don't bring non‑Demon Cultivators inside."
"Why are non‑Demon Cultivators not allowed into Demon Beast Mountain?"
Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled.
He thought the rule odd; there had been no such restriction on Demon Beast Mountain before.
Moreover, the Demon Race and Demon Cultivators of different races had united, which was clearly abnormal.
The Demon Race replied impatiently: "There's no reason; because we Demon Race have claimed this place.
If you have the skill, go kill your way in!"
"Fine then!"
Ye Liuyun said slowly.
The Demon Race thought Ye Liuyun was about to give up.
But Ye Liuyun continued, "Then we'll… charge in!"
Speaking so, he and his clone each released a Spiritual Soul, surged into the Sea of Consciousness of the leading Demon Race, and began Soul Search.
At the same time he struck a palm toward that Demon Race squad, while his clone drew a blade and slashed the nearest Demon Race down.
The others immediately acted, wiping out most; then they launched Spiritual Soul Attacks on the remaining Demon Race, devouring their souls.
Through Soul Search, Ye Liuyun learned the reason the Demon Race guarded this place.
Because this border battlefield hosts many Demon Race and Demon Cultivators, they gradually gathered, intending to purge the Human Race and turn the battlefield entirely into a Demon Race world.
Now many cities concentrated with Demon Race and Demon Cultivators have had all non‑Demon Cultivators slaughtered, and they have begun restricting non‑Demon Cultivators from entering.
And Demon Beast Mountain, abundant in Demon Beasts, they naturally do not want non‑Demon Cultivators obtaining Demon Beasts to use against them.
Thus they set up focused guard.
The Demon Race guarding here also have two Early Fifth Layer strongmen hidden in the shadows.
Ye Liuyun relayed the information to the group, urging caution, and led them into the dense forest surrounding Demon Beast Mountain.
Their earlier battle had already alarmed the local guards.
Upon entering the forest, several Demon Cultivator squads immediately charged, launching a fierce assault.
Ye Liuyun used incantations and Qiankun Palm against the enemy, while his clone employed blade intent and Buddha Light Power, together devouring these people's Spiritual Souls.
Lei Ming also concealed his Demon Qi, continuously fighting with a great hammer and lightning.
Thus this group of "non‑Demon Cultivators" became enemies of everyone here.
From the moment they entered the outskirts of Demon Beast Mountain, the fighting never ceased.
The group took turns returning to the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate and recover, then immediately emerged to fight again, unwilling to give up this frenzied battle.
Black Panther manifested his true form, using his speed advantage to slay many Demon Cultivators.
Then another Demon Race squad charged in.
Ye Liuyun suddenly sensed a Demon Race's realm aura fluctuating—sometimes Third Layer, sometimes Fourth Layer.
He was puzzled when Black Panther rushed to strike it.
Just as Black Panther approached, that Demon Race's realm suddenly shifted to Early Fifth Layer.
"Careful!"
Ye Liuyun warned Black Panther, but it was already too late.
Black Panther also noticed the opponent's realm change, turning mid‑air to flee, but the Early Fifth Layer Demon Race suppressed his speed, slowing him, then delivered a punch to Black Panther's back.
Ye Liuyun's and his clone's released Spiritual Souls also surged into that Demon Race's Sea of Consciousness, but arrived a bit later.
With a "Boom," Black Panther was slammed to the ground; his bones and organs shattered, he collapsed limp and was killed outright.
Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil immediately transferred Black Panther back to the Space World, but it was already too late.
Before he could be placed in the Life Spring Water pool, Black Panther was utterly dead.
That Demon Race was ruthless; the palm strike used full force, shattering Black Panther's soul.
Ye Liuyun's and his clone's Spiritual Souls devoured that Demon Race's soul, and through Soul Search learned of another Early Fifth Layer Demon Race guarding the foot of Demon Beast Mountain.
After the group slaughtered those Demon Race, Ye Liuyun retrieved Black Panther's storage space, brought out the corpse, and burned it with fire.
The others had not expected Black Panther could die here.
Moreover, they now had a rough grasp of Early Fifth Layer strength.
When that Martial Cultivator's punch landed earlier, they all sensed that terrifying power aura.
It seems that although their realms are close to Early Fifth Layer, the power gap remains huge.
Ye Liuyun felt guilty; Black Panther had followed him for so long, so there was some attachment.
If he hadn't insisted on body refinement, constantly wearing gilded armor, Black Panther might not have died!
Soon, more Demon Cultivators charged, and Ye Liuyun's group vented all their grief and anger onto those Demon Cultivators.
Later, when encountering Demon Race, they killed even more ruthlessly.
Had it not been that hidden‑realm Demon Race, Black Panther would not have died.
But these people are all scarred, truly having achieved the body‑refining effect.
Moreover, their Spiritual Soul power, having devoured many souls, has greatly increased.
Later, when some were cultivating, the remaining could still hold the fight; even the Kuailei responsible for clearing the battlefield joined, allowing them to barely endure against those Demon Race and Demon Cultivators.
Subsequently, the enemies' Spiritual Souls were stored in the Divine Realm domain, temporarily unable to absorb so much soul power.
Finally, the group could no longer persist; Ye Liuyun's Storage Yuan Stone had been exhausted.
At that point he had to unleash Magic Vine to clear the outskirts of Demon Beast Mountain.
Magic Vine, seeing so many Demon Race and Demon Cultivators, also became excited, eagerly burrowing underground, extending its vines to begin devouring.
Ye Liuyun then brought everyone back into the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate and recover.
Everyone cultivated together for many days, until Ye Liuyun and his clone filled the Storage Yuan Stone again, then they rushed to the foot of Demon Beast Mountain.
At this time, the periphery of Demon Beast Mountain was already silent and soundless, not a single Demon Race or Demon Cultivator remained.
The five layers of Demon Race originally guarding the foot of Demon Beast Mountain naturally all became food for the Magic Vine.
And the Magic Vine returned to the Xuan Kong Shi and fell asleep again.
However, now that it has become stronger, it will not be like before, where falling asleep meant it could not be woken.
If Ye Liuyun truly encounters danger, he can summon it at any time to come out and help.
Ye Liuyun did not rush into Demon Beast Mountain; instead, taking advantage of there being no people or ferocious beasts here, he began to move forests into his Space World.
His Space World is growing larger and larger, needing more plants and landscapes to fill it.
Now is a good opportunity for him to transplant.
Lei Ming and Ye Tiandao also followed suit, learning; together they circled Demon Beast Mountain, moving many small hills and plants, leaving Demon Beast Mountain standing alone and isolated in an open space.
Long Nv did not move mountains; her Space World is a vast ocean with several islands.
Man Shu has Snow City, and also does not need a Space World.
The clone is prepared to wait until after entering Demon Beast Mountain, then remodel the Space World, turning it completely into a Moyu.
