Chapter 3322: Finding the Key Technique

The zombie in the valley, suppressed by the Sealing Demon Tablet, saw them return and couldn't help letting out a low threatening wail.

Ye Liuyun and his companions immediately halted, did not advance further, and together cast spells on the zombie.

They had already discovered the key technique, and using spells against these zombies was the most effective.

When the zombie's body was enveloped in Golden Light, it startled and leapt up, even pushing the Sealing Demon Tablet aside. But the tablet immediately pressed down again, preventing the True Essence inside it from being released at all.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw clearly that the True Essence emitted from the zombie's Core Pill would be instantly sucked up by the Sealing Demon Tablet. When it does not use True Essence, it can still hold off the tablet for a while.

The zombie roared repeatedly, yet was helpless against this special attack. Meanwhile, Buddha Light Power eroded the True Essence within its Core Pill. Whether it uses its True Essence or not, it will eventually be completely worn away.

In the end, the zombie unleashed all its True Essence, preferring to be absorbed by the Sealing Demon Tablet rather than cease its attack on Ye Liuyun and his group; unfortunately, after the tablet's absorption, the True Essence it emitted was pitifully weak and could not reach Ye Liuyun at all.

Nevertheless, this was the strongest evil entity Ye Liuyun had ever seen; even under the Sealing Demon Tablet's suppression it could still launch attacks. It is likely because the tablet's power was insufficient while the zombie's strength was excessive.

Based on its strength, the zombie's realm should have reached the Taixu Realm. However, it did not unleash its full attack and could not even emit its aura, so Ye Liuyun could not determine its exact realm.

Ye Liuyun and his clone both ceased casting spells, allowing the Sealing Demon Tablet to continue absorbing the zombie's power. After the zombie released its True Essence, it was already pinned down by the tablet, so there was no need for them to waste spells on it; better to let the tablet absorb it.

The Sealing Demon Tablet kept sucking the zombie dry, then slammed into the mountain behind the zombie, creating a huge hole, and only then returned to Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Ye Liuyun guessed that there must be some treasure in that Cave, and the tablet was giving him a hint. There should be no evil entities inside, otherwise it would not have returned to the Sea of Consciousness.

"That Sealing Demon Tablet really has personality!" the two clones said, shaking their heads with a wry smile.

Nevertheless, they still entered the Cave cautiously and alertly.

The Cave's interior was small enough to be seen at a glance. Inside were five piles of Five Elements Spiritual Marrow, many of whose liquids already showed signs of demon transformation and were of very high quality. He guessed the zombies used this material for body refining.

"These are excellent resources for body refining!" Ye Liuyun immediately took them without hesitation, storing everything into the Space World.

Aside from these Five Elements Spiritual Marrow for body refining, there was nothing else in the Cave.

After exiting the Cave, Ye Liuyun and his group began excavating Primordial Power beneath the zombie's corpse.

The Primordial Power here had been tainted by the zombie's aura, unusable for cultivation, but could serve as energy for a Warship or a firepower tank; nevertheless, it was still a resource that should not be wasted.

After gathering the Primordial Power, Ye Liuyun and the two clones circled this Xingqiu once more, found no additional resources, and then hurried to the next Xingqiu.

This time, with more experience, they deployed everyone capable of fighting: first the Death Legion battled outside, then the Demon Race forces took over, and finally the Monster Beasts finished the fight.

Disciples of the Tang family and the women could also spar, seeking opponents suitable for them.

However, this time the Primordial Power was located beneath a pitch‑black mountain peak. The Sealing Demon Tablet again led the way, soaring to the summit, slamming down at a spot, and then the zombie's roars and attack sounds erupted.

"It must have found the strongest zombie again!"

Ye Liuyun said no more and followed the Sealing Demon Tablet.

The mountain peak seemed to be a special metallic ore, extremely rigid. As they ascended, numerous Corpse Demons with blackened bodies burst from the mountain to intercept Ye Liuyun and his party.

Ye Liuyun and his clone used Buddha Light Power together with sword intent to slash. When they met a foe that even the blade could not cut, they employed the Golden Pupil to unleash the Technique, melting the zombie's Core Pill and eliminating it outright. Then they used spells in conjunction with the Sealing Demon Tablet to finish off the strongest zombie.

However, this time the Sealing Demon Tablet gave them no hint. After searching around and finding no special resources, they moved the entire mountain into the Nine Dragon Swallow Heaven Cauldron, let the Golden Crow Holy Fire continue refining, then extracted the Primordial Power and rushed to the next Xingqiu.

This Xing Xi was not originally very large, with just over a hundred Xingqiu; after Ye Liuyun's group mastered the key technique, acquisition proceeded smoothly, and on each Xingqiu they could obtain abundant resources and materials for body and artifact refining.

Ye Liuyun gathered everything together and, for the time being, had no time to allocate it.

The soldiers and those around him underwent thorough training; many seized the opportunity to breakthrough their realms.

The final Xingqiu was also the core planet of this Xing Xi.

Ye Liuyun did not deploy the Death Legion or Demon Race forces; instead, he sent Ye Tiandao with the ten thousand female soldiers to train, and he did not let them ride ferocious beasts, wanting them to fight using their own strength.

The zombies on this Xingqiu had relatively high realms and Physical Bodies. The lowest realm among them was Unified Seventh Layer, and because the female soldiers were not accustomed to fighting such beings, they were immediately terrified and screamed upon encountering the zombies.

Fortunately, there were few zombies at first; after a brief adaptation, the female soldiers gradually got into their stride, began performing normally, and the squad started to advance.

"More combat training is needed!"

Ye Liuyun thought this was perfectly normal, merely urging Ye Tiandao to give them more combat experience in the future.

With only ten thousand female soldiers, confronting all the Corpse Demons on the planet was indeed a heavy burden for them. However, Ye Tiandao had equipped each of them with a Storage Yuan Stone, allowing them to hold out for a full two days.

Then Ye Liuyun released the armies of Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan, letting them replace the female soldiers, continue training, and persist until the end.

The Magic Vine would emerge to absorb once, then return to sleep for two days. Ye Liuyun saw no sign of its breakthrough. This time it went to sleep again, so Ye Liuyun did not expect its assistance.

The final forbidden zone on this Xingqiu was the Grand Hall inside a Royal Palace.

After continuously absorbing over these days, the Sealing Demon Tablet's strength kept rising; Ye Liuyun estimated that dealing with an evil entity of Unified Eighty‑Ninth Layer would no longer be a problem for it.

Yet when it charged in this time, it could not be suppressed for long. Ye Liuyun and his clone saw its position just before the Grand Hall, assuming a particularly powerful presence lay there.

Before they entered, the Golden Pupil detected numerous powerful zombies within the Royal Palace.

Thus, the first clone donned Hunting Demon Armor and equipped a Hunting Demon Bow, while the second clone wore Void‑Step Plate Armor and protected itself with Buddha Light.
