Chapter 2721: Continuous Consumption

In the entire Maniu Xingxi, not only are the Martial Cultivators strong, but their alchemy, artifact forging, and formation techniques are also not lacking, so the Death Legion has no real advantage.

After Ye Liuyun understood the situation, he also thought it was thanks to Ye Tiandao's early rescue; otherwise, if the enemy had learned their situation and started to press hard, the Death Legion would indeed have been in danger.

However, now that he also knows the enemy's situation, he does not rush to counterattack; instead, he sends Xuan Yuan Ling, Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng, and Luo Yurou out to the planets they have occupied to investigate the merchants' operations and resource conditions.

Given the current situation, they cannot possibly subjugate all the dynasties here at once; they might even be defeated.

The enemy's allied forces have not yet all arrived.

In war, what is consumed are resources.

So he plans to start with resources, letting the soldiers first boost their strength.

When it comes to doing business, these women are more capable than he is.

Now Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng are not weak, so going out isn't too dangerous; with Shadow and Illusion Hand secretly protecting them, on their own occupied territory they need not worry much about their safety.

As for the current battle, he can have the people with him hold the line, focusing on defense and trying to hold out.

Ye Liuyun went back to find Liu Yunyao and borrowed her Demon Lion.

He thought the thief cat's stealing skill was decent, so he prepared to take it to the enemy camp to steal some resources.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun had even come to borrow a fierce beast from her, Liu Yunyao also realized the war over there must be very unfavorable and felt worried for Ye Liuyun.

But she couldn't be of much help.

The soldiers of this star system are too weak; sending them would be a burden and they couldn't help.

After returning, Ye Liuyun didn't immediately release the Demon Lion; instead, he sent it into his clone's Space World to accelerate cultivation, first advancing its realm to the Zhuanzai Realm, making it less likely to be discovered by the enemy's strong cultivators.

Ye Liuyun and his clone then took turns on watch duty, staying alert for enemy attacks or scouting parties.

They soon discovered several enemy scouts, all of which were seized by the two of them.

The Maniu Xingxi allied forces' scouts were all Zhuanzai Sanchong Martial Cultivators.

After Ye Liuyun captured them, he searched their souls and directly devoured their Divine Sense, then handed them to the Demon Lion, letting it promptly consume and refine them to increase its strength.

The Demon Lion, now motivated, used all its resources and desperately accelerated its power increase.

Through the scouts' Storage Rings, Ye Liuyun discovered that the Martial Cultivators here are relatively wealthy; each person's Storage Ring contains more than ten complete worlds' worth of Primordial Power, enough for them to fight several major battles.

Fortunately they lack Storage Yuan Stones; otherwise it would be even harder to deal with them.

The opposing allied forces, after sending out many scouts in succession, found no further information, and both sides fell into a stalemate.

The Maniu Xingxi allied forces occupy many planets with abundant resources, so they aren't concerned about the stalemate; now it's a matter of how long Ye Liuyun's side can hold out.

Ye Liuyun didn't just wait in place; instead, he and his clone took turns infiltrating the enemy camp to wear down their strong ones.

He didn't use the Invisibility Cloak, instead relying on his Shadow Concealment Technique to hide his tracks and ambush the enemy Martial Cultivators.

The Shadow Concealment Technique works well.

However, when he makes a move, it's easy for the enemy to notice.

The enemy camp is full of strong ones; sudden spatial fluctuations and True Essence shockwaves are hard to evade their Divine Sense detection.

On Ye Liuyun's first strike, he cut down a Martial Cultivator with a single slash, but was immediately spotted by three nearby Martial Cultivators.

He wasn't flustered; he used the time to spar with them, brandished the Demon Slaying Sword, and launched a full assault, one against three.

All three were Zhuanzai Sanchong Martial Cultivators, throwing punches and kicks at Ye Liuyun together; fortunately his Physical Body was sturdy, allowing him to focus his power on one opponent while hardening against the other two's attacks, instantly defeating another.

Then he tried to strike the remaining two, but more Martial Cultivators surrounded him.

He immediately swung his sword to carve a path, trying to cut his way out of the Martial Cultivators' camp.

There are too many Martial Cultivators here; if he doesn't break out quickly, more will encircle him.

Yet those Martial Cultivators aren't weak; the first few together blocked his advance.

Several Martial Cultivators behind him also attacked.

"Sigh! You won't even give me a chance to practice!"

Ye Liuyun sighed, activated Time Power to freeze time, devoured the Divine Sense of the surrounding Martial Cultivators, collected their bodies, and then left the allied camp.

When he restored time, the Martial Cultivators who had just intercepted him had vanished.

The arriving Martial Cultivators halted, stunned on the spot.

"Where are they?"

"What technique is this?"

"Space Translocation?"

They guessed that the opponent had sent a master who could instantly translocate the people around.

Ye Liuyun, hidden outside their camp, pondered a solution.

"The way into their camp doesn't work; there's no chance to practice! I have to kill their patrols on the outskirts and lure them out."

Realizing this, Ye Liuyun turned and went after the patrol soldiers outside their camp.

As expected, after the patrol soldiers disappeared, Martial Cultivators came to investigate.

It was a group of three Zhuanzai Sanchong Martial Cultivators; Ye Liuyun used Shadow Concealment Technique to ambush one and fought the other two.

One against two, thanks to his abundant Mysterious Origin, he wasn't at a disadvantage.

He used his sword on one, his palm on the other, striking simultaneously.

Eventually he first slashed one with his sword, then drained the other's True Essence to win.

Then he collected the bodies and again concealed himself with Shadow Concealment Technique.

The reinforcing Martial Cultivators still couldn't locate him.

This time there were more, nine in total; Ye Liuyun held back, waiting for them to disperse, then ambushed a group.

He employed a Spiritual Soul Attack to eliminate one, then a sneak attack on another, and finally a few blows to finish the last.

However, by then he was surrounded by other Martial Cultivators, and more were arriving.

Ye Liuyun briefly used Time Power again, then used Spiritual Soul Attack to eliminate the six Martial Cultivators surrounding him, collected their bodies, and teleported via the Black Tower back to his own planet.

His Mysterious Origin was almost exhausted this time, so he must return to cultivate and replenish.

However, the income was not small; from the Storage Rings of those Martial Cultivators, he found nearly two hundred Primordial Power and also many assorted resources.

Ye Liuyun instructed Lan Xin, Qing Yan and the others to stockpile these resources, preparing to open a merchant guild for Xuan Yuan Ling and the others.

He gave all those Martial Cultivator corpses to the Demon Lion, so it wouldn't have to worry about resources.
