Chapter 3003: Enhancing Strength

Ye Liuyun also discussed with Zhan Kong and the others, learning a lot of information about the strong figures on both sides.

For example, Feng Yulong's Soul is relatively strong, its size is about the same as Ye Liuyun's, and his Dragon Head cane also contains a Dragon Soul. In other words, even if Ye Liuyun faces Feng Yulong, he won't have an advantage in terms of Soul.

Their Deputy Group Leader Gui Wang is not only a Demon Cultivator but also cultivates a yin ghost aura, which is said to be able to summon Yin Souls to fight. Yao Shan Gongzi, a Martial Cultivator whose Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power are both relatively strong, also has a fan that can pull a person's Soul into it, sending them into an Illusion Realm.

They also have some knowledge of Chang Yuxing and Li Qingyang and the like; it is said that Li Qingyang also has a duplicate, and Chang Yuxing's realm seems to have already reached the Guiyi Seventh Layer.

They also gave Ye Liuyun a lot of information about strong individuals, giving him a sense of the numbers. However, some of the information may not be accurate; it is all their speculation.

"Then which of you two is stronger?" Ye Liuyun asked Zhan Kong and Wu Ying.

"When we face each other directly, neither can hit the other. If it's a surprise attack, it depends on who strikes first. Basically, whoever strikes first wins."

"Then aren't you at a disadvantage?" Ye Liuyun asked Bao Long again.

Bao Long explained: "My cultivation method is unique; True Essence can explode instantly, so even if the two try to ambush me, they won't be able to kill me in one go."

Zhan Kong and Wu Ying both nodded in agreement. If Bao Long's True Essence erupts instantly, his power would be far greater than theirs; whether it's Spatial Power or Heaven and Earth Power, Bao Long can block and blast them away.

Thus, Ye Liuyun and his two duplicates began to take turns condensing Mysterious Origin, following Zhan Kong and Wu Ying to sense Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power.

The three of them cultivated Bao Long's Condensing Essence Technique together, naturally at the fastest speed. After a short while they could already use this method to condense Mysterious Origin; the initial speed was still a bit slow, but already faster than Ye Liuyun's combat grinding.

Zhan Kong each day lets Ye Liuyun experience stronger applications of Spatial Power such as spatial lock, spatial overlap, and other uses, and also guides him in practicing crossing void barriers, helping him improve his Spatial Power. Wu Ying is only responsible for showing him Heaven and Earth Power, strengthening his perception of the great trends of Heaven and Earth.

Ye Liuyun was busy every day, until fifty days later Liu Yan called them to battle again; Ye Liuyun then paused his cultivation, took Tang Xinyao and others onto a Flying Boat, pulled away from the main force, and went to fight on his own.

This time when he went out again, he found no one following him. He felt strange in his heart and became even more vigilant; before the Flying Boat even stopped, he had Zhan Kong and the other two emerge from the Space World to help hold the front.

All three were wearing Invisibility Cloaks. In Ye Liuyun's current large army, this kind of Invisibility Cloak has become standard equipment for scouts, so he has reserves on hand, with sufficient quantity.

However, for strong ones like Zhan Kong, the cloaking effect of these Invisibility Cloaks is limited, though at long range they can still prevent detection by opponents.

The thing Ye Liuyun feared never occurred. Only Zhan Kong and Wu Ying sensed a large battle fluctuation coming from Li Qingyang's fleet direction, estimating that a major battle was happening.

Ye Liuyun immediately used spatial transit to reach Xingkong, observing the battle on Li Qingyang's side.

Sure enough, a massive battle broke out there; the Dragon Head Bandit Group deployed over a hundred Guiyi Sixth Layer Martial Cultivator strongmen, including the Deputy Group Leader who wielded a fan.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw clearly; when the fan-wielder flicked his fan, he could pull a person's Soul into the fan, from which they could not escape.

Li Qingyang, however, did not release a duplicate but sent out a Kuailei to battle that fan-wielding Yao Shan Gongzi, leaving him without a Soul to absorb.

Yet Ye Liuyun could see the strength of Li Qingyang, Yao Shan Gongzi and several other strong ones clearly. However, the ones truly worthy of being called strong were only about five or six from each side.

It seemed there were many Guiyi Sixth Layer strongmen, but in reality there were few genuine strong ones; they were merely testing each other's strength.

"A strong one is approaching!"

At that moment, Wu Ying suddenly sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately rushed back, and at the same time had his duplicates pull the Monster Beasts and others into the Space World to avoid being affected by the battle.

But later they learned that the Dragon Head Bandit Group had only sent people to try to win them over.

Ye Liuyun had already learned through Zhan Kong and the others that the two bandit groups were sending spies and scouts into each other's interiors, so even if he wanted to accept their overture, he could not express it at this time.

Thus he outright refused, drove those people away, and then released the Monster Beasts to continue clearing the city here.

Those strong ones did not act, but immediately retreated. The reason they sent strong ones was only to fear a sneak attack from Ye Liuyun. They still do not know Ye Liuyun's true or false state, and dare not act rashly.

Ye Liuyun's alarm turned out to be a false alarm; after the battle ended, he immediately boarded a Flying Boat and withdrew.

When they returned, Li Qingyang's side had already finished the battle, and the fleet was waiting for them. Ye Liuyun knew this was not a decisive duel between the two sides, so he asked no further questions, and upon returning directly reported to Li Qingyang, honestly recounting the Dragon Head Bandit Group's attempt to win him over.

Li Qingyang nodded satisfactorily, told Ye Liuyun to go rest, and did not mention the big battle here.

He only told Ye Liuyun that there was no need to attack cities in the future, to avoid provoking retaliation from the Dragon Head Bandit Group.

But after Ye Liuyun returned, Liu Yan pulled Ye Liuyun aside and told them, saying they had repelled an attack by over a hundred strong members of the Dragon Head Bandit Group.

The other bandits were also discussing the matter, clearly the joint action of so many strong ones had a greater impact on them.

After listening to them for a while, Ye Liuyun did not waste time and immediately returned to the Space World to continue cultivation. Having witnessed these true strong ones in action, he saw his own gap even more clearly.

Since there was no longer a need to siege cities here, Ye Liuyun immediately teleported with his first duplicate back to the Alien Battlefield, to keep watch over that side's situation. He also brought Bao Long, Zhan Kong and Wu Ying back, in case any unexpected incidents arose on the Alien side.

Now the battles of the various armies on the Alien Battlefield are entering their final stage; they are all gathering around the Alien stronghold, soon to launch a direct assault on the Alien stronghold.

Ye Liuyun also had to be more cautious. Since he was not needed to aid the bandit groups in battle during this period, he could instead go and destroy the Alien stronghold first.

He also sent some resources back to leaders Ye Tiandao, Yu Xiaofeng and others, helping them strengthen. He also taught them the Condensing Essence Technique, letting them begin condensing Mysterious Origin.

However, what Ye Liuyun did not expect was that Zhan Kong and the others also recognized the Alien faction.
