Chapter 3045: Return to the Old Lair

After Ye Liuyun searched, he realized that the blue whale's target was not Long Nv, but the Ten Thousand Gods Command in its Sea of Consciousness.

The blue whale was originally drawn there by Long Nv's aura. But just as it was about to strike Long Nv directly, it discovered a powerful force in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness; although it did not know it was the Ten Thousand Gods Command, it recognized it as a treasure of tremendous power.

Yet it did not dare to act against Ye Liuyun lightly, so it tried to use a proxy, letting the Mermaid tribe and the Mo Jiao Clan eliminate Ye Liuyun. Unexpectedly, the two great sea tribes neither blocked Ye Liuyun nor even let it see what the treasure actually was.

Thus it ordered the other monster beasts to stay back, sparing them from a fearless sacrifice, and then had the monster beasts relay Ye Liuyun's information, hoping to have Martial Cultivators kill Ye Liuyun, but that too failed.

So it lured Ye Liuyun and his group into its old lair, intending to use Formations and various dangers to eliminate them.

Unexpectedly, pressed by Ye Liuyun, it had no choice but to enter Ye Liuyun's Space World, planning to draw Ye Liuyun into an even more perilous Formation and then kill him.

It originally thought that, with its Spatial Power and Divine Soul Power, it could constantly break Ye Liuyun's limits, but upon entering, Ye Liuyun immediately struck a lethal blow, so it could only fight to the death.

As for the way to its old lair and its treasure information, Ye Liuyun also uncovered them.

He even knows that the Treasure Vault discovered by the Shouxing Bandit Gang does contain some treasures, which even tempt him, but without a key he cannot enter.

However, the blue whale is also familiar with that place; it has set up a Formation there, so that as soon as someone opens the Treasure Vault, it receives the signal and can rush over to seize the treasure.

Ye Liuyun recorded all this information before completely devouring the blue whale's Soul.

He also absorbed the blue whale's Soul, intending to quickly boost his Divine Soul Power. If his Divine Soul Power had risen to the blue whale's level earlier, perhaps he could have saved Illusion Hand and Black Tiger.

Xuanwu and Shadow, facing the blue whale's corpse, clawed at it fiercely to vent their hatred, then called Lei Ming and other monster beasts to help share the corpse.

The Rogue Cat Demon Lion then leapt out of the blue whale's Space World, bringing Ye Liuyun several Storage Rings. The blue whale carried many cultivation resources, and the rogue cat did not waste any, extracting them all.

Ye Liuyun also let the rogue cat take him back in for another look. He wanted to see if he could break through the rogue cat's Space World.

On the first try, he entered smoothly. The blue whale was already dead, with no active defenses, so entry was easy. However, the interior had already been emptied by the rogue cat.

Ye Liuyun didn't linger; after testing, he was satisfied that he could also get in. He currently has no mood to practice many more times right away.

The women also noticed his low spirits and came to comfort him.

After a while, Lei Ming and the other monster beasts finished dividing the blue whale's corpse and returned.

"Little brother, the monster beasts here are too vicious; let's kill them all," Lei Ming suggested to Ye Liuyun.

The other monster beasts also agreed. It seems these sea beasts once injured Long Nv and once killed Illusion Hand and Black Tiger, provoking a desire for revenge among the monster beasts.

Ye Liuyun thought that letting everyone have a big battle to shift attention was also a good thing.

So he agreed. He also said, "First we go to the blue whale's old lair, gather all the resources. Then we cultivate there to improve ourselves.

When those Martial Cultivators can no longer track us, we will go kill the sea beasts here. Otherwise, during our fight, those strong Martial Cultivators would ambush us, and we would be in danger."

The monster beasts also agreed, each going to cultivate and improve, preparing to revenge against the sea beasts here.

Ye Liuyun then sent his clone, carrying those Martial Cultivator elites, back again to that deep

sea trench.

The blue whale's route back to its old lair is only that one sea trench. Ye Liuyun now knows the various Formations and dangers, but besides avoiding Formations, he still must contend with other monster beasts' threats.

This time they smoothly arrived at the location where Yin Soul had been. Ye Liuyun also released two more clones; the three of them did not need Spatial Power to resist the deep‑sea pressure, instead they used the pressure here to refine their bodies.

Beyond the Yin Soul area, sand on the seabed constantly yields magic snakes infused with Demon Qi, which dart out, bite a person, and flee.

Ye Liuyun and the two clones immediately released Buddha Light Power to cover the ground, enveloping the other Martial Cultivators. Those magic snakes dared not emerge.

Further along, the places that could be considered dangerous for him included two eighth‑rank sea beasts subjugated by the blue whale. One was an eighth‑rank blue‑shell crab, its shell impervious to blades and spears; the other was a flower snail, adept at Spiritual Soul Attack.

However, as Ye Liuyun and his clones moved forward, they felt the deep‑sea pressure intensifying. Yet his Physical Body could still endure this pressure without slowing their progress.

The five accompanying Martial Cultivators of the 1‑7‑8 tier felt nothing. Their strength was already high, with abundant True Essence, and a little effort allowed them to resist this pressure.

After bypassing several Formations, they had Qiong Qi help break a Formation. The Formations here do not attack monster beasts, so in areas where Formations form continuous sheets, they still need to be broken.

When that Formation was broken, Ye Liuyun and his group heard a low wailing; not far away, a modest‑sized flower snail lay inconspicuously on the seabed. The snail's Divine Soul Power was strong, and its sounds made it impossible to locate their source.

Moreover, the snail's sound contained powerful Illusion Hand. The five Martial Cultivators behind him immediately used Divine Soul Power to resist.

Ye Liuyun did not hesitate, releasing his Soul together with the two clones to attack the flower snail.

On the way to the trench, Ye Liuyun and his two clones had already split the blue whale's Soul evenly. The blue whale's Soul was also sufficiently powerful; according to the Book Demon, if all of the blue whale's Souls were combined, even the Book Demon would not be its match.

Thus this single blue whale's Soul not only compensated for their consumption of Black Light, but also greatly increased the Divine Soul Power of him and his clones.

The flower snail's Divine Soul Power was also strong, nearly matching that of a single person, but the three of them together easily pulled the snail's Soul into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

"Traveling the desolate sea has indeed boosted my Divine Soul Power considerably!"

Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied with the increase in his Divine Soul Power.
