Chapter 2836: Road Encounter with a Stronger

Ye Liuyun blocked this strike from the Magic Vine, which was still a punch he delivered while not being very familiar with this kind of power. After he becomes familiar with it, he will surely be able to make the punch even more powerful.

"Looks like I should increase some power next time!" the Magic Vine said to Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm!" Ye Liuyun nodded: "Increase slowly; don't use full strength all at once!"

Ye Liuyun knows that a full‑strength strike from the Magic Vine would be unstoppable even if he broke through his realm.

After familiarizing himself with the Sixfold Sovereign's power, Ye Liuyun immediately returned to continue consolidating his cultivation.

At this time, the people breaking through realms were not only Ye Liuyun; Lei Ming, Long Nv, Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and others, as well as the Monster Beast, all advanced their realms almost simultaneously.

They often went out to fight in Xingkong, getting accustomed to the new power.

Shortly after, Hei Hu's realm also broke through. After his bloodline, Soul and other weak points were enhanced, and Ye Liuyun supplied enough resources, especially after absorbing and refining the Martial Cultivator's Primordial Pill of the Unified Realm, Hei Hu's realm advanced to the first layer of Unified Realm.

After Hei Hu's breakthrough, Ye Liuyun had Liao Tianyang spar with Hei Hu. Because Liao Tianyang's Physical Body was weaker, he couldn't defeat Hei Hu.

Ye Liuyun restored their True Essence, then let Hei Hu fight Hei Shan again. This time Hei Hu couldn't beat Hei Shan. After all, Hei Shan's overall strength was also great. Yet the battle helped Hei Hu become more familiar with the power of the Unified Realm.

Later Ye Liuyun had Hei Hu capture this uninhabited Xingqiu into Space World, and gave Hei Hu some previously gathered Foreign Tribe three‑eyes to refine. He also gave it a Transformative Pill, causing Hei Hu to excitedly bump Ye Liuyun with its big head.

Hei Shan and Liao Tianyang also felt pressure and returned with Hei Hu to the clone's Space World to accelerate cultivation. Ye Liuyun also had Lin Luoyi, according to their needs, specially forge some pills for them so they could quickly improve their weak points.

Ye Liuyun himself rushed through Xingkong toward the target star system Liao Tianyang had set, while also boosting his Spatial Power. Occasionally encountering ferocious beasts and Martial Cultivators in Xingkong, Ye Liuyun and his clone often led the group to clash with them, familiarizing themselves with their

their own new power.

His Heaven and Earth Power improves the fastest; each day he and his clone take turns releasing their Soul in Space World to feel Heaven and Earth Power. He also trains with the Magic Vine, and the blocking force each time grows stronger.

However, each time he raises his power a bit, the Magic Vine finds it hard to gauge the intensity; either the attack strength remains the same as before, or it jumps too much and hurts it more. Ye Liuyun doesn't blame it, treating it as his own trial.

Just as Ye Liuyun's strength was steadily rising, while he was about to capture a Xingqiu, he ran into a group of Martial Cultivators seeking the planet's Primordial Power.

These Martial Cultivators were slightly more numerous and stronger than him and his companions, perfect for sparring. So Ye Liuyun released his people and prepared to fight them.

The opposing team's leader, a Sovereign of Ninefold Martial Cultivators, saw their group, noting many women, and instantly felt the urge to subdue them.

He directly said to Ye Liuyun: "My name is Jing Tao…"

He was accustomed to ruling this area and thought that stating his name would frighten Ye Liuyun and his group.

But after speaking, seeing Ye Liuyun's lack of reaction, he assumed they hadn't recalled his name and continued: "From the Four Directions Star System! My boss is Li Kuo!"

Ye Liuyun and the others realized he was bragging about his reputation and backing. He might be famous here, but to Ye Liuyun's group they knew nothing about the local situation and didn't care about any major forces.

Moreover, hearing him call someone "boss" indicated this was a mercenary‑like or bandit gang, not a legitimate royal force.

"Enough talk! Either fight or get lost!" Lei Ming, hands on his waist, thundered at Jing Tao with overwhelming bravado, looking exactly like a bandit, even more so than Jing Tao's men.

After their realm broke through the Sixfold Sovereign, they felt their strength surge, thinking of fighting all day, so they always speak to outsiders with a hint of fire, deliberately provoking them.

"Hmph! You are outsiders, aren't you? Ignorant! My boss Li Kuo is a Martial Cultivator of the Unified Realm and will arrive soon. Moreover, our Four Directions Star System has four Unified Realm strongmen!"

Jing Tao said disdainfully

…then glanced at their realms, noticing the highest were Zhu Que and Chi Lian, who were only Sovereign of the Eighth Layer, thinking they might still not understand the power of the Unified Realm.

He then said: "Your realms are too low; you probably haven't seen a Unified Realm strongman's power. Let me compare: a Unified Realm strongman could easily wipe out our whole group! You see the gap, right?"

He boasted with great pride, but looking up he saw Ye Liuyun's side either wearing disdainful looks or staring as if at a fool, never showing the surprise or fear he expected.

He also felt that speaking alone with no one cooperating made the atmosphere a bit awkward.

He pretended to clear his throat, giving himself an out: "Fine! Since you can't understand me, I'll speak with strength! I originally saw many women among you and didn't want to bully you. But your ignorance has angered me…"

Speaking, he fixed his gaze on Ye Liuyun, thinking he must be the leader, and intended to strike first to capture Ye Liuyun.

But Lei Ming couldn't hold back and said to Ye Liuyun: "Little brother, stop listening to this fool brag, just act!"

Ye Liuyun and the others had actually guessed what he would say and do, just watching his performance. But after Lei Ming said that, Ye Liuyun also thought it better to act, lest he utter something unpleasant and dirty the women's ears.

Anyway, they would have to act sooner or later, so Ye Liuyun no longer hesitated, raised his blade and slashed at Jing Tao.

"Kill!"

With Ye Liuyun's shout, everyone immediately moved, charging toward them.

Ye Liuyun's slash was lightning‑fast, arriving instantly. Jing Tao couldn't dodge in time and had to unleash all his True Essence to defend.

"Boom—", most of the blade's force was blocked, but Jing Tao's face down to his chest bore a conspicuous slash scar. It looked comically ridiculous, making the still‑pretending

"How dare you ambush me? You brat, you're courting death!" Jing Tao's face couldn't stay composed. He used True Essence to quickly heal the wound, then threw a punch at Ye Liuyun.

Both sides simultaneously launched attacks, fighting at the same spot.
