Chapter 2294: Lion
After Ye Liuyun's Space World was fully upgraded, Tong Xin, Qiong Qi and the others also had all the required warships, armor and equipment ready.
Ye Liuyun immediately set out on another starry voyage.
This time, he used a hundred‑thousand‑level warship.
Man Feng boarded the warship with fifty thousand Imperial Guard.
The warship was still piloted by the Black Armor Guard led by Jing Yong.
The protection of the Royal City and Royal Palace of the Lingyun Dynasty was handled by Xue Rongwu.
Tong Xin, Qiong Qi, Mo Tianheng, Mo Shaowen, Liu Yang, Wen Hao, Zhao Hu and the others still all requested to explore together with Ye Liuyun.
They all felt they had nothing to do while idle, and thought that following Ye Liuyun would let their strength improve quickly.
Zhu Youfu was in charge of their meals, preparing a variety of delicious dishes each day, so even on the warship their lives were very pleasant.
Each day, one of Ye Liuyun and his clone stayed inside the Xuan Kong Shi to advance his realm, while the other released his Soul aboard the warship to cultivate Heaven and Earth Power and scout the surroundings.
The direction they were heading was toward the planet guarded by Outpost Island and Lookout Island.
They didn't even know the planet's name; it had become a frontier against the Foreign Tribe, so naturally they were curious about it.
Moreover, no Martial Cultivator had been sent there for reinforcement, and Ye Liuyun was also curious about their thinking.
He is now the administrator of the two outpost islands, so he must be responsible for the Martial Cultivators on them.
Man Feng and the soldiers on Lookout Island were shocked by the spectacular starry sight; they finally realized that beyond their world there existed such a vast realm.
This broadened their perspective beyond their own world, giving them a wider outlook.
Man Feng then understood Ye Liuyun's alliance idea even more.
"It seems that resisting the Foreign Tribe truly isn't a matter for any single world!"
In his heart, he grew even more admiring of Ye Liuyun.
To possess such vision and the power to traverse worlds is certainly beyond ordinary people.
So in his mind, he further endorsed Ye Liuyun.
The others also took advantage of the convenient starry voyage to desperately boost their Spatial Power.
Through the enhancement of Cui Yuan Liquid, their realms advanced greatly during this period, and they prepared extensively for the starry voyage.
Many people had already concentrated on cultivating Spatial Power in advance.
Now, under armor protection, many can already enter the starry expanse.
However, only Zhao Hu, Yuan Hao and the Song Girl can fight freely.
The three are already strong in strength, and their Spatial Power far exceeds others.
The rest are Qiong Qi, Lei Ming, Long Nv and Shadow, four Monster Beasts.
Their Spatial Power is somewhat weaker and their realms have only just risen, but these Monster Beasts have robust Physical Bodies, and after some practice they can also fight in the starry expanse.
Their current Physical Body defense is far weaker than Zhao Hu's, so they cannot fight.
So even when they encounter combat, they can only use the Energy Cannon to attack from a distance.
Ye Liuyun and his clone have become increasingly accustomed to the spatial pressure in the starry expanse and can now handle it with ease.
Moreover, using Heaven and Earth Power in the starry expanse makes his attacks even stronger.
Just as the voyage was proceeding smoothly, Ye Liuyun's Soul, while sensing Heaven and Earth Power outside the warship, was suddenly struck by a Spiritual Soul Attack.
He felt as if he heard a beast's roar, and his Soul was bruised by the impact.
On a island ahead, a starry giant beast emerged a golden massive head from behind the island.
A golden giant lion gradually stepped out from behind that island, warning Ye Liuyun and his party not to approach.
Ye Liuyun originally intended to bring the warship closer to inspect the island.
Earlier his Golden Pupil had not detected that a golden lion beast lay on the other side of the island.
Moreover, the golden lion's warning was overly savage, launching an attack outright.
Ye Liuyun's Soul was jolted, immediately withdrew inward, and his mouth corner bled from the shock.
The others' Souls also sensed the attack and rushed out of the cabin to inquire about the situation.
However, most of the impact was blocked by Ye Liuyun, and the others suffered little harm.
"The golden lion's Soul power is so strong—it can reach me from this distance!"
Thinking this, Ye Liuyun immediately left the cabin, ordered Man Feng to change course and steer away from that island so it wouldn't attack again and wound the soldiers.
The others, seeing the blood at Ye Liuyun's mouth corner, all became tense.
"No problem.
Just a warning from a starry giant beast!"
Ye Liuyun comforted the group.
The golden lion, seeing them turn away, flicked its mane, displayed a majestic flourish, and did not attack again.
The clone also emerged to examine the golden lion's Soul power.
However, his Golden Pupil discovered that the golden lion's Soul power was actually not much stronger than Ye Liuyun's.
Ye Liuyun and the others began to study the golden lion's attack method.
"Could it be a technique issue?"
Someone asked.
Ye Liuyun analyzed: "From the feeling of the injury, it seems like a Soul‑shaking wave attack! But how could it reach such a distant spot?"
"A combination of sound‑wave attack and Spiritual Soul Attack!"
Qiong Qi reminded them: "Many ferocious beasts combine their attacks with sound‑wave attacks."
Ye Liuyun also agreed: "It's very possible; I did indeed first hear a beast's roar.
We should first move the warship away, then I'll deal with it!"
Ye Liuyun, as long as he does not let his Soul out of the Sea of Consciousness, is protected by the Ten Thousand Gods Command and need not fear that golden lion's attack.
"I'll go with you, let's kill that big cat! A warning is just a warning, yet it actually wants to hurt people—we can't let it go!"
Qiong Qi also has great confidence in his own Soul power.
Then, after the warship had drifted away, Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi both donned the Invisibility Cloak and stealthily approached that golden lion.
Ye Liuyun, Qiong Qi, and that golden lion beast have Soul powers that are not much different from each other.
So by the time that golden lion notices them, they are already very close to it.
Moreover, both of them were still in the invisible state; the golden lion glanced warily in their direction but saw no one.
Then, suddenly, Qiong Qi let out a roar at it.
Qiong Qi, learning on the fly, combined a sonic attack with a Soul-shaking wave; Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, used his Red Eye, and taking advantage of the golden lion's sudden assault, he cast an illusion on it.
The golden lion was startled, jumped up in a panic, but immediately fell under Ye Liuyun's illusion, releasing its Soul which rushed into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, where Ye Liuyun's Ten Thousand Gods Command enveloped it in Golden Light.
Ye Liuyun immediately let his clone's Soul also enter the Sea of Consciousness, absorbing Soul power together with him.
The golden lion's Physical Body was then taken by Ye Liuyun into the Space World, for his clone to bring as food for the Demon Race and Demon Beasts.
Qiong Qi, meanwhile, took off the Invisibility Cloak, stepped through the void first, and went to inspect the condition of this small world.
