Chapter 3048: Sweeping the Sea Beasts

Ye Liuyun used the last few days, focusing again on compressing his Soul, using pills to refine his bloodline and Physical Body, before preparing to lead everyone out of the Blue Whale's old lair.

Ye Liuyun also estimated that, since they hadn't appeared for over a month, the Martial Cultivators outside who were searching for him should have given up the hunt.

He even specifically contacted the Leng Qingxiao siblings. Sure enough, without the Blue Whale transmitting any messages outward, those Martial Cultivators could not find Ye Liuyun's trail, and some had already begun leaving the wasteland sea.

Only then did Ye Liuyun lead the group out of the Blue Whale's old lair, then released the Monster Beasts, Tang Xinyao's team, and the women who wanted to join the fight, letting the captured Martial Cultivator strongmen guard them, while he and his two clones led, splitting into three routes, advancing side by side toward the Treasure Vault.

Along the way they swept away various sea beasts, plundered the Sea Tribe's resources, and handed the Soul Sealing Pearl to some Martial Cultivator strongmen, having them help capture the souls of powerful sea beasts for his later cultivation.

Most Monster Beasts and Tang Xinyao's team have already challenged Guiyi Sixth Layer sea beasts with Guiyi Fourth Layer realms. They have recently focused on refining Mysterious Origin to make up for deficiencies in Soul, bloodline, and Physical Body; although their realm hasn't risen much, they have felt the sensation of crossing two levels in a challenge.

Lei Ming and the Nine-Head Demon Dragon can already fight Guiyi Seventh Layer sea beasts using their Dragon Clan bloodline. Long Nv, exerting her full strength, and with the amplification of the Blue Sea Battle Armor, can already battle ordinary sea beasts of Guiyi Eighth Layer.

Xiao Lanbing's Soul Fixing Pearl greatly helped her; whenever there was a sea beast she couldn't defeat, she would take out the Soul Fixing Pearl, and it was always effective, fixing the beast's Soul. Those Souls were then devoured in turn by her and other Monster Beasts, allowing her and the other Monster Beasts to boost their Soul power.

Ze Mao also revealed his Demon Lion true form during battle, using Spatial Power to slay sea beasts. However, his combat ability was not strong; he stayed together with Purple Qilin, Vermilion Bird, and Red Flame, forming a safe zone that guarded the wounded while not hindering his ranged attacks.

The women were divided into three groups, honing themselves against sea beasts under the protection of those strong ones. Ye Liuyun also fought with all his might, honing Mysterious Origin while focusing on boosting Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power.

Now there are Martial Cultivator strongmen helping him capture sea beast souls; unless others launch a Spiritual Soul Attack against them, they will only ingest some Soul power, otherwise in battle they don't even need to use Soul attacks.

The Monster Beasts and the women also didn't need his protection. The armor, treasures, and weapons of the True Stage they obtained, each person took several; when danger arose, they could simply smash outward and block it.

The Monster Beasts also treated killing these sea beasts as revenge for Illusion Hand and Black Tiger, so they struck without mercy, regardless of realm level, killing on sight. Consequently they collected plenty of sea beast corpses and Yuan Dan.

Wherever they passed, the seawater turned blood‑red.

Currently the Blue Whale has been killed, and no one restrains the sea beasts, so they are constantly drawn by the blood‑stained scent in the sea, going in vain to meet their deaths.

Ye Liuyun and his group were constantly fighting, killing one wave and then another.

Ye Liuyun encountered the two hardest sea beasts; one was a gigantic sea turtle that came to snatch the sea beasts' Yuan Dan. Ye Liuyun employed various powers but could not kill it. In the end, Xiao Lanbing took out the Soul Fixing Pearl, devoured the turtle's Soul, and finally killed the turtle.

Another was a white shark. That white shark originally was at Guiyi Sixth Layer Late Stage, and while fighting Ye Liuyun its realm suddenly broke through to Guiyi Seventh Layer.

Then, relying on its True Essence advantage, it launched a ferocious barrage at Ye Liuyun, striking him so that he had no chance to retaliate and could only endure it with his Physical Body.

But in the end the white shark's True Essence was exhausted; after Ye Liuyun chased and hacked at it for a long time, he finally cut off its head. The white shark, before dying, also launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, and its Soul was devoured by Ye Liuyun.

For the remaining sea beasts of even higher realms, Ye Liuyun can only deal with some Guiyi Seventh Layer strong ones whose Spatial Power is relatively weak. He now can already use Spatial Power to send fire and Thunder and Lightning Power directly into the opponent's body, and his various applications of Spatial Power are more proficient.

Skilled.

Even his remote blade intent, many sea beasts could not evade, as he split their bodies from within.

After his Spatial Power practice was fairly complete, he began to fight exclusively on the sea surface. Even when battling sea beasts of slightly lower realms, he still tried to use Heaven and Earth Power in the fight.

But once those sea beasts dived into the water to flee, he didn't waste time chasing them. His advantage in water was even less apparent, so he used Spiritual Soul Attacks to kill them outright. Moreover, each time he used a Spiritual Soul Attack, he employed Time Power to freeze time, preventing ambushes from sea beasts or hidden Martial Cultivators.

These people fought continuously at sea for a month before finding an island to rest; everyone returned to the Space World to restore True Essence, leaving only a few Martial Cultivators who hadn't fought much to keep watch outside.

In this battle, everyone fought with great vigor and cheered.

They also stayed in place for ten days, allowing everyone to fully heal their injuries, replenish True Essence and Storage Yuan Stone, before setting out again.

Then it was a month of fighting followed by ten days of rest, and after two more major battles they finally reunited with Leng Qingxiao and Leng Qingyao. M..

The women below the Zhuanzai Jingjie realm have already refined their True Essence to be very condensed, and are all returning to prepare to break through to the Guiyi realm.

Ye Liuyun didn't wait for them; after the others had replenished their True Essence, he set out toward the Treasure Vault.

Within the Blue Whale's Sea of Consciousness, there is formation information for entering this Treasure Vault. Therefore, along the way, many formations were smoothly bypassed.

Even if they couldn't bypass them, Qiong Qi could easily resolve the formations.

Until Ye Liuyun led everyone to the Treasure Vault, their party surprisingly had not a single injured person, causing Leng Qingxiao and Leng Qingyao to gape in amazement.

The Treasure Vault is located within an underwater island reef. At the connection point between the reef and the sea floor, there is a stone gate. On the stone gate sits a circular ring, and at the center of the ring is a triangular recess.

After Ye Liuyun found the Treasure Vault, he had the Leng Qingxiao siblings continue to monitor from the Xingkong, to prevent detection by other Martial Cultivators.

He, however, gathered most people back into the Space World, leaving only two Guiyi Eighth Layer Martial Cultivators and a few Kuailei to go with him inside, to avoid other dangers.

After preparations were complete, he finally took out the black triangular key.

"Two bandit gangs went to great lengths for this thing, only to return empty‑handed, and many lives were lost in the process."

He sighed, glancing at the triangular recess.

Sure enough, inside there was also a trident symbol.
