Chapter 2999: Refining Mysterious Origin

Ye Liuyun's Primordial Power in his hand is abundant now; even the Monster Beasts' cultivation no longer needs the Martial Cultivator's Core Pill, as they directly toss the Primordial Power into the Conversion Cauldron to transmute the energy they require.

Ye Liuyun and his group robbed a large amount of Primordial Power from the merchant guild, including many pieces of Primordial Power tinged with ancient aura.

These are very useful to many of his Monster Beasts, and they absorb ancient aura far faster than the beasts themselves.

Therefore he never hesitated to give them to the Monster Beasts; instead he piled them up inside the Space World, letting the beasts take them at will.

In the bandit siege battles, the first three attacks were very easy, but when they assaulted a city for the fourth time, Dragon Head's bandit group dispatched several Guiyi Fifth and Sixth Layer masters.

But before the Clone could act, Li Qingyang alerted some strongmen in the Flying Boat, who rushed forward.

Their side was fully prepared and held a huge numerical advantage.

Thus those strongmen were quickly eliminated, leaving the bandit members to fight without obstruction.

And as Ye Liuyun and his companions grew stronger, the battles became increasingly effortless, and their advance speed kept accelerating.

Consequently, the time taken to wipe out each city grew shorter and shorter.

During each battle's intervals, Ye Liuyun also constantly fought the captured prisoners, refining Mysterious Origin.

Ye Liuyun's golden Core Pill now radiates a faint Heaven and Earth Power.

The golden light is no longer as dazzling and sharp as before, but rather, like him, its aura is restrained.

That emanating Heaven and Earth Power makes his Core Pill more attuned to nature, allowing it to absorb Heaven and Earth Power more smoothly.

The Mysterious Origin mass within the Core Pill now closely resembles the True Essence of Guiyi Fourth Layer Martial Cultivators.

Each filament of Mysterious Origin has been infused with concentrated Heaven and Earth Power.

Their Flying Boat traveled for a month and a half, yet Ye Liuyun's realm showed no improvement. Until he felt he could no longer compress further, and that with Mysterious Origin he could fight Guiyi Fourth Layer Martial Cultivators, he only raised his realm to the mid‑stage of Guiyi First Layer.

"Now I can fight across three realms! That's really not easy!"

This time Ye Liuyun refined Mysterious Origin for forty to fifty days inside the Xuan Kong Shi, but it actually took four to five hundred days.

Such a long period is already considerable for him.

The Monster Beasts and Tang Xinyao and others, persuaded by Ye Liuyun, also refined True Essence to lay a solid foundation.

Otherwise, having just broken through, another breakthrough would shock Liu Yan and the other bandits.

Moreover, by refining True Essence their combat power truly increased; having learned the benefits of refining Mysterious Origin, they were not in a hurry to break through again.

Now even Chi Lian can barely resist attacks from Guiyi Third Layer Martial Cultivators, which counts as crossing realms to challenge.

Otherwise, with her previous strength, she couldn't even defeat Martial Cultivators a realm lower than hers in direct combat.

The Monster Beasts not only increased combat power; their Soul, Bloodline Power, Physical Body, and various attribute forces, having refined massive resources during this period, all saw great enhancement.

Long Nv, Lei Ming, the Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon, Bai Hu, and Shi Yuan can now challenge across two levels.

The Magic Vine's realm, under the accumulation of countless corpses and Core Pills, is about to break through to Guiyi Sixth Layer.

Their number of battles was far more than Ye Liuyun had anticipated.

Tang Xinyao and the others were the same; their realms all rose to the late stage of Guiyi Second Layer, but they fought less than the Monster Beasts. Apart from Tang Xinyao and Tang Hao whose True Essence was relatively solid, the others' True Essence was average.

Thus Ye Liuyun let the Monster Beasts freely break through realms, while Tang Xinyao and the others continued to grind.

And the Monster Beasts' breakthroughs are easy to explain: after devouring massive corpses and Core Pills, their realms rose.

Ye Liuyun also used the Black Tower to teleport the First Clone over, handing the Alien Battlefield over to Ye Tiandao to command.

The First Clone kept fighting nonstop on the battlefield, but the alien opponents' realms are too low, giving the First Clone insufficient pressure.

Ye Liuyun promptly sent the First Clone to battle and refine; together with the Second Clone he captured more Martial Cultivators, while also training to suppress opponents with Bloodline Power and to attack with Divine Soul Power.

He tried using the Da Yan Soul Technique, turning one of his golden‑armored Souls into a golden sword, which still shimmered with lightning and Nether Ghost Fire.

Attacking an opponent's Soul this way, he can also embed sword intent for greater effect; against Guiyi Fourth Layer Martial Cultivators he can instantly slay them.

Both clones are the same, but they also need to use different forces to refine Soul Bells in the Sea of Consciousness for defense, even employing Spatial Power and illusion techniques, creating layered void mazes that make incoming Souls struggle to locate theirs.

However, few can surpass their Divine Soul Power; most opponents' Souls are cleaved by his golden‑soul sword and then devoured, rendering those defensive measures unnecessary.

Li Qingyang constantly observed the battlefield; seeing their power rise, he deliberately let a Guiyi Fifth Layer strongman slip past, to test just how strong they truly were.

Ye Liuyun immediately grasped his intention and, leading everyone in a coordinated strike, instantly killed that Guiyi Fifth Layer strongman.

He knew his group's strength had recently increased; trying to hide it was futile, so it was better to display it openly, perhaps to take on more important combat missions.

Now that they fight these ordinary bandits, they already feel somewhat at ease.

Continuing further would not exert enough pressure on the group.

Li Qingyang nodded with satisfaction, already scheming how to harness this formidable combat power.

After the battle ended, Li Qingyang directly summoned Ye Liuyun and Liu Yan.

He didn't beat around the bush with Ye Liuyun, asking him straight: "If I give you ten Guiyi Sixth Layer strongmen for you to take a city on your own, can you capture it?"

The First Star bandit group only attacks one city each time they pass a planet.

He originally intended to draw out some of Dragon Head's bandit group's strongmen, but they remained unresponsive.

Thus their leader Chang Yuxing wanted to strike harder, yet feared excessive losses.

Having Ye Liuyun's small squad try it was just right.

Hearing this, Liu Yan's mouth was so shocked it couldn't close.

Although he knew Ye Liuyun's group was strong, he wouldn't even dare to imagine such a task.

Even if given twenty strongmen, he wouldn't dare.

However, Ye Liuyun, somewhat excited, readily agreed.

"No problem.

We don't need strongman support; let us fight on our own!"

"Oh?"

Li Qingyang immediately realized that Ye Liuyun's group had a trump card capable of handling Guiyi Sixth Layer strongmen.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun didn't want them to find out, so he requested to fight alone without any support.

However, Li Qingyang didn't care either; he originally didn't covet their treasures either.
