Chapter 3177: Advance Condensation

Ye Liuyun, while clearing the planets of the Duqiao Star System, trained against Ninth Layer Mid Stage strongmen and raised his Spatial Power, Heaven and Earth Power, and Physical Body considerably; moreover, his Divine Core mass and Divine Sense detection range have also improved recently.

But he knows that Ninth Layer Summit strongmen have Divine Core mass that is too condensed; even if he breaks through his realm now and raises his Divine Core mass another step, he still cannot fight Ninth Layer Summit strongmen.

Given his current situation, breaking through a realm is no problem. However, his Soul, bloodline, Physical Body, and even the Divine Core mass have already hit a bottleneck. Even if the realm breakthrough occurs, further raising these forces will be difficult.

Ye Liuyun also tried to condense these forces, but the speed is too slow. At this pace, it will take at least a year before he can resume absorbing and enhancing these strengths.

"Fine, let's use the Golden Source Liquid; no need to wait until breaking through to the Taixu realm!" Ye Liuyun finally made up his mind.

The remaining Golden Source Liquid was originally prepared for his breakthrough to the Taixu realm, but now that he's hit a bottleneck, he can only use these resources first; the rest will wait for later.

Nevertheless, before the breakthrough, he made thorough preparations.

He waited until the First Clone had collected those planets before acting. He first gathered the Monster Beast and the women into the Space World so that they wouldn't be ambushed by the dynasty during his breakthrough. He had Cui Daoran replace the Monster Beast and others, continuing to clear the bandits according to the previous schedule.

Then he retrieved the First Clone, took it to the battlefield, and released the Demon Race army to cooperate with the Death Legion. He also brought the Second Clone along, and together they returned to the main base in the Wasteland Sea World.

The main base has remained there all along. At such a critical breakthrough moment, staying outside would be unsettling; breaking through here is the safest.

Upon returning, he first had Long Nv lead two Magic Flood Dragons to patrol outside, then dismissed Long Nv and let the two Magic Flood Dragons guard the trench perimeter.

Inside the base, he deployed five hundred elite soldiers of the Ninth Realm to guard, then together with the two clones returned to the Space World, entered the Golden Source Liquid Pool, each holding a Star System Primal Source in hand in case the breakthrough lacked energy.

The Golden Source Liquid in the pool was already half depleted, just enough for the three of them to sit in it and submerge their heads.

This time he and the two clones consumed it together, and he doesn't know if any will be left for others.

The three of them, upon entering, began to violently absorb. Pure energy surged into their bodies, first condensing the Soul.

His Soul power has recently tripled, having absorbed three Dragon Souls and many Martial Cultivator souls, so the Soul's mass has become highly heterogeneous. Through the Golden Source Liquid's purification, the impurities are rapidly expelled. The Soul's size visibly shrinks, yet becomes more condensed.

Eventually, after his Soul's size halved, the purification of the Soul ceased. The two Golden‑Armored Souls were refined to be like solid humans, their bodies crystal‑clear and without any impurity.

Ye Liuyun immediately felt that with his current Soul power, he could still devour at least four or five more Dragon Souls. He himself could not have imagined how great the power would become after further Soul enhancement.

However, by then the Golden Source Pool's level had dropped to his neck, clearly a substantial consumption.

Subsequently, the Golden Source Liquid began purifying his and his clones' bloodlines. Their bloodline power is similar; in recent times they have absorbed too many things—bloodline spirit demons, blood spirit roots, true dragon essence blood, and other resources.

Ye Liuyun estimates that after the bloodline purification, the Golden Source Liquid's consumption will also be considerable. Indeed, after they purified the bloodline power, the level had fallen below his chest.

Yet the bloodline purification effect was unexpectedly excellent; his bloodline condensed and emitted Golden Light, and that terrifying bloodline pressure was at least doubled compared to before purification.

Suddenly, he sensed the powerful battle intent and invincible Heaven and Earth will within his bloodline. He and the two clones both showed surprised expressions.

"The bloodline has broken through to the Taixu standard!" They are familiar with this feeling, confirming that the bloodline power has reached the Void stage level.

"Is this the true power of a war‑god bloodline?" Ye Liuyun is startled by this bloodline strength.

He estimates that even against a Ninth Layer Summit Martial Cultivator, he could easily suppress their strength down to the Eighth Layer.

"From now on, we'll have to hide the bloodline's power in battles!" the clones also sighed, treating this power as one of their Trump Cards against foes, not to be shown lightly.

"There's still the Physical Body and Divine Core to purify; I don't know if any Golden Source Liquid remains!" Ye Liuyun had hoped some would be left for others to borrow, but now it seems there won't be enough.

Next, the Golden Source Liquid began purifying his Physical Body. However, it seems his body has few impurities, likely because many battle injuries had already undergone condensation earlier.

He was initially pleased, thinking some would remain. Unexpectedly, his body began absorbing the Golden Source Liquid to continue body refining. Consequently, he started worrying whether the remainder would be enough to condense the Divine Core, let alone have any surplus.

Yet his realm hasn't advanced yet, and he can't emerge early; he can only feel regret while continuing to improve.

Nevertheless, the Golden Source Liquid's effect was surprisingly good. After purification and enhancement, Ye Liuyun's Physical Body felt as if it had broken through to the Void stage, a result that truly exceeded his expectations.

After the body's improvement, the Golden Source Liquid's level had dropped to his abdomen. Ye Liuyun sighed; now he no longer expects any surplus—just being able to use it is good enough.

Fortunately, his Divine Core mass is high; after consuming more than half of the remaining Golden Source Liquid, his Divine Core mass has already doubled, and the leftover liquid now begins to replenish the Divine Core's quantity.

Ye Liuyun glanced at the shallow layer of Golden Source Liquid at the pool's bottom, sure it wasn't enough for one person, so he simply drained the remaining liquid entirely, then entered the clones' Space World, absorbing the Star System Primal Sources to breakthrough.

After his Divine Core mass increased, the Divine Core within the two Core Pills was reduced to a quarter, so this breakthrough took over twenty days to fully replenish the Divine Core, after which his realm finally began to break through.

But the Divine Core shock during this breakthrough was far more violent than before. His Divine Core mass suddenly surged too much, and some tiny meridians in his body could not withstand it, being ruptured by the impact.

Fortunately, the Core Pills and major meridians endured the shock; even the cracks were quickly repaired by him.
