Chapter 305: Full‑Force Ascent

While Ye Liuyun was absorbing the righteous Qi of Heavenly Earth in the canyon, he also absorbed the souls of those two Heavenly Gang Foreign Tribe members, and his Soul instantly grew considerably stronger.

After days of absorption, Hell Mingshe could on its own handle Heavenly Gang third‑ and fourth‑tier Martial Cultivators. With the two of them working together in terms of Soul, battling Heavenly Gang fifth‑tier should not be a problem.

When everyone had rested enough, Ye Liuyun finally led them out of the canyon, continuing to rush toward the center of the Secret Realm.

On the road ahead, they kept encountering Corpse Demons and Demon Race, and endured many bloody battles. These women each absorbed some of the righteous Qi of Heavenly Earth, and their combat power rose sharply against the Demon Race and Corpse Demons.

Ye Liuyun also kept protecting them, and no one was seriously injured or killed.

They also eradicated several Demon Race strongholds, finding many Crystal Stones of various attributes. Ye Liuyun and the few women with him did not compete with others for them, leaving the distribution to the others, even refusing the holy artifacts that Ye Liuyun possessed.

For these people, they had constant opportunities along the way. These women all thought Ye Liuyun had a gentlemanly demeanor, but in fact Ye Liuyun dismissed such things. m.

Ye Liuyun's care for these people made them still tease him verbally, but they were deeply grateful in their hearts. Even several female disciples, disregarding the looks of Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and others, proactively courted Ye Liuyun, repeatedly sending him flirtatious glances.

Even Lin Feier's gaze toward Ye Liuyun softened considerably. Ye Liuyun was so frightened that he dared not look into these women's eyes.

Finally, Ye Liuyun persevered to the foot of a great Demon Race mountain in the central area.

Along the way, he never knew how many times Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng had pinched him. Each time a female disciple showed affection toward Ye Liuyun, the two women would secretly pinch him, leaving him in great distress.

"This mountain is the source of the energy fluctuations," Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense was far stronger than others'. Others hadn't noticed.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil and found the mountain oddly strange, as if shrouded by a Formation, likely not easy to ascend.

Mid‑Mountain Ridge had a few Demon Race members laboriously climbing, using both hands and feet. At the summit, several Demon Race practitioners of the Heavenly Gang Realm were cultivating. This seemed to be a cultivation treasure spot within the Demon Race Secret Realm.

Before long, disciples from the Ancient Demon Sect, Divine Sword Sect, and Holy Martial Academy also gathered here. Ye Liuyun then felt considerably more at ease.

From the mountain base, they watched those Demon Race members laboriously climb and found it unbelievable.

Ye Liuyun explained to them: "This whole mountain is covered by a Formation that increases pressure. So climbing it is extremely arduous. Yet bearing the pressure while ascending should aid in breaking through realms."

While speaking, Ye Liuyun took out a Formation Flag and began setting up. "I'll establish a main camp here; you can all try. If it fails, retreat back here. This Formation Flag can block attacks from Heavenly Gang Realm strongmen."

Then, Ye Liuyun led the few women with him and the Monster Beasts, and began the ascent.

The others also followed to try. However, with lower realms, they soon felt the pressure become heavy and could not move further.

They dared not stay on Mid‑Mountain Ridge to cultivate, so they all returned to the Formation Flag.

The person beside Ye Liuyun, Ru Yue, had the lowest realm and was the first to be unable to proceed. Ye Liuyun immediately stored her in a Storage Ring. Next came Yu Er, then Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng.

Halfway up, even Shi Yuan felt the strain. Yet Ye Liuyun did not store him; he let Shi Yuan climb as far as he could. This pressure also helped raise his realm.

The others had already descended one by one. Mo Ya and Lin Feier were among the farthest, trailing behind Shi Yuan.

Ye Liuyun also felt the pressure, but his Physical Body was so strong that he didn't need True Essence to bear it; he relied entirely on his Physical Body.

Moreover, as he walked, he casually exterminated any Demon Race he encountered, preventing them from descending to attack his people.

Further up, Bai Hu also stopped, then Lei Ming. Ye Liuyun, uneasy about leaving Lei Ming outside, immediately stored her in a Storage Ring.

At this point the Formation's pressure made Ye Liuyun feel somewhat strained. Inside the main camp at the mountain base, everyone looked up at him, silently cheering him on.

With a quarter of the route left, Ye Liuyun's Physical Body could no longer hold. Then he unleashed True Essence Power, instantly feeling much lighter.

The climbing speed quickened a bit more.

The crowd below thought it odd. "Why did it suddenly speed up? Is the pressure above reduced?"

"He definitely hadn't given his all before!" Lin Xueying, Qi Tianyue and a few who knew Ye Liuyun said.

"Only the final stretch remains!" someone exclaimed.

"His speed has slowed again; I wonder if he'll make it in the end?" the people below fretted for him.

Indeed, Ye Liuyun's True Essence was now running at full power, yet each step felt arduous. With only a tiny final segment left, he could not lift his leg.

"Fine! Then let's add the Bloodline's power," he thought, and began to unleash the Bloodline's force again. He didn't release it all at once.

Instead, while maintaining speed, he increased the Bloodline power little by little.

"Going again! Going again!" the people below cheered.

"One final step!" the people below watched Ye Liuyun, more nervous than they were climbing themselves. Especially the women, who had already made Ye Liuyun their idol.

"One final step!" At this moment, Ye Liuyun's Bloodline power had fully erupted.

He took his final step, lifting one foot, but the other foot just wouldn't rise.

Suddenly, he recalled the method of cultivating the Bà Tiān Divine Fist. Thus, he fused his Physical Body strength, True Essence power, and Bloodline power together.

Instantly, he felt his whole body loosen, his rear foot lifted directly, and he reached the summit!

"Great!" the people below shouted together.

Mo Ya and Lin Feier, upon seeing Ye Liuyun ascend, while they had only just passed Mid‑Mountain Ridge themselves, both gave a wry smile and shook their heads.

"This guy is far stronger than us!" Mo Ya praised.

"Perfect, I'll make him my target from now on!" Lin Feier's eyes flashed as she said.

Mo Ya, seeing her expression, asked in a strange voice, "You haven't also taken a liking to this kid, have you?"

"Mind your own business!" Lin Feier shot him a glare and continued gathering strength to climb.

Mo Ya, seeing this, confirmed his suspicion. "This kid is literally a woman killer! Why does no one favor me? Apart from being slightly weaker, where am I any worse than him?"

Lin Feier ignored him and kept focusing on the ascent.

After Ye Liuyun went up, he immediately vanished from everyone's sight. At the summit there was no longer any resistance. Several Demon Race cultivators, almost all at the Heavenly Gang Realm, stared at him hungrily.

One sneered, "Kid! Those who can come up are geniuses, and we happen to like eating geniuses!"

Speaking, he also bared his fangs.

"Your realm is so low yet you could ascend, proving your bloodline is extraordinary! Human, offer your bloodline to us!"

Ye Liuyun, without a word, instantly unleashed the Thunder Fire Domain, enveloping the several Heavenly Gang strongmen atop the mountain.
