Chapter 2823

Ye Liuyun knew the Empire would certainly not let it rest, and he was also urging everyone to speed up.

He even threatened the Primordial Power, saying that if it refused to be refined, he would directly destroy this planet.

The planet's Primordial Power, constantly being drained of Ice Power by Ye Liuyun and the others, could hardly take it anymore.

Ye Liuyun's threat naturally also worried him a bit, and in the end he had no choice but to compromise.

But it didn't choose Ye Liuyun; it chose Man Shu instead.

Man Shu's Ice Power is the strongest, and also the most alluring to it.

This was exactly what Ye Liuyun wanted, as he had never intended to subjugate this planet in the first place.

His own lightning and flame powers are already strong enough, so there's no need to conjure up even more powerful attributes.

After Man Shu refines this planet, it will be much easier for her to help others gather this Ice-attributed Primordial Power later on.

In the end, before the Empire's army arrived, Man Shu successfully stored the whole planet in the Space World.

They also immediately withdrew from here, rushing to other planets.

This star system consists entirely of Ice-attributed Primordial Power, and Ye Liuyun plans to let everyone gather more of it here to boost others' Ice-attributed strength.

But as soon as they left the planet, his Golden Pupil spotted the army's fleet rushing in to attack.

"What a headache!"

Ye Liuyun didn't want to clash head‑on, so he immediately used his Golden Pupil to scan the surrounding planets, found an uninhabited one, then led everyone aboard the Spirit Cat Warship and flashed over in a single jump.

"Hurry up and gather the Primordial Power—there are pursuers behind us!"

Ye Liuyun urged everyone to hurry.

Now that Man Shu possesses an Ice-attributed world, she no longer needs anyone to show her where the Primordial Power is here; she can find it simply by sensing.

After finding it, they did the same as before: everyone first absorbed some Ice Power together, then Wu Qingcheng collected it into the Space World.

Just as Wu Qingcheng was collecting it, the four Sovereign Ninth‑Level experts on outer watch notified Ye Liuyun that a group of experts accompanied by some soldiers were in pursuit.

"You keep gathering here; I'll go meet the enemy!"

Ye Liuyun gave everyone a quick instruction, then shot into the starry void, leaving a clone behind to protect them.

"The Ice‑Snow Empire's strength is still pretty formidable!"

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw more than ten Sovereign Ninth‑Level experts rushing from afar, and he couldn't help but remark.

"Actually, we don't have many Sovereign Ninth‑Level experts."

"It's only because the master killed the heir apparent, so this is practically the whole nation's force hunting you!"

A Martial Cultivator subdued by Ye Liuyun, trying to curry favor, actively explained to him.

"It doesn't matter how strong they are—anyone who provokes me is as good as dead!"

Ye Liuyun said contemptuously.

Looking at the soldiers behind, they were actually perfect for everyone to practice on, so he immediately released everyone to go out and train against them together.

Ye Liuyun assigned those four Martial Cultivators to guard everyone's safety, keeping them out of the direct fight.

He himself took the Magic Vine and Crimson Silk to absorb those experts' Bloodline Power.

The Sovereign Seventh‑ and Eighth‑Level experts were all turned over to Heishan and Ye Tiandao.

Their division of labor was clear.

The Magic Vine shot out its tentacles, entangling those Sovereign Ninth‑Level experts; half were handed to Ye Liuyun to devour their souls, while Crimson Silk absorbed their Bloodline Power, and the other half was given to Heishan to extract and refine their core pellets.

The other half was absorbed by the Magic Vine itself.

Heishan, being a Sovereign Ninth‑Level expert, could easily annihilate some Sovereign Seventh‑ and Eighth‑Level Martial Cultivators.

Then it stopped, gathered the corpses, and left the survivors for others and Monster Beasts to practice on.

Ye Tiandao also used high‑level Martial Cultivators to hone his sword intent and Physical Body, then went to guard the other women.

When there are many soldiers, Ye Liuyun will also join the fight, expending a bit of Mysterious Origin.

This group was quickly wiped out, but it also gave away their position; Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw the Ice‑Snow Empire's army already turning to march toward them.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun had those four Martial Cultivators stand guard, gathered everyone else into the Space World, then rushed back to help Wu Qingcheng collect this planet.

If Wu Qingcheng couldn't collect the planet in time, he could only have his clone unleash the Demon Race army to wipe out this troop.

Everyone had already absorbed a fair amount of Ice Power, yet the planet's Primordial Power was extremely obstinate.

With the Empire's hundred‑thousand‑strong army about to arrive, Wu Qingcheng's collection still required time.

In a fit of anger, Ye Liuyun drew the Demon Slaying Sword and fiercely chopped the planet with a single blow.

That blow reached straight to the Primordial Power itself.

"If you still refuse to be collected, I'll cleave you in two with one strike!"

Ye Liuyun threatened it.

Indeed, a show of force still works.

Ye Liuyun's threat made the Primordial Power immediately yield.

Out of self‑preservation, it immediately agreed to be collected by Wu Qingcheng.

"I've figured it out—even these slightly sentient Primordial Powers are all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong."

"Next time, just threaten them outright—maybe it'll be even more satisfying!"

Lei Ming also said directly.

"Hmm, we can also give it a try!"

Ye Liuyun also nodded in approval.

As Wu Qingcheng stored the planet in the Space World, the Ice‑Snow Empire's army had already prepared to land.

Suddenly the entire planet vanished before their eyes, leaving them stunned.

Ye Liuyun also immediately released the Spirit Cat, taking those four Martial Cultivator experts with him, and flashed away before their eyes.

Actually, among this army, only two masters of the Ninth Layer remain, and their strength is not strong.

Ye Liuyun simply didn't want to kill so many Human Martial Cultivators, so he deliberately avoided them.

But they thought Ye Liuyun was afraid of them, and immediately chased after the direction he fled, also notifying the Empire and sending another force to intercept.

However, their deployment speed was not as fast as Ye Liuyun's.

Ye Liuyun and his group quickly arrived at the next uninhabited Xingqiu.

"This time you go to collect it; if you can't, threaten it!"

Ye Liuyun directly told Lei Ming.

After Man Shu helped find the Primordial Power, Lei Ming eagerly tried to communicate with it; seeing no response, Lei Ming also got angry.

"You actually don't reply to me! I think you're asking for a beating!"

Lei Ming let out a roar, then revealed his true form, and slapped that Xingqiu with a palm.

"Strength increased!"

Ye Liuyun covered his face, but his words came too late; Lei Ming's palm had already slammed down.

"Ah?"

After hearing that, Lei Ming had already finished the fight.

"Oh dear! What should we do?"

Lei Ming also stared with big eyes at Ye Liuyun.

"What else can we do? Just directly take and absorb this Primordial Power!"

Ye Liuyun laughed and said.

Everyone also laughed along, saying Lei Ming is still the same as before, not very reliable.

Lei Ming looked at the collapsing Xingqiu before him, thought a bit, let out another roar, and slapped it with two more palms, directly blasting that Xingqiu to pieces and solely collecting the Primordial Power!

"Hmph! This is what you get for ignoring me!"

After Lei Ming turned back to human form, he also muttered a sentence.
