Chapter 3328: All Troops Return

Ye Liuyun's Physical Body has recently advanced too much; he not only consumed all the resources he obtained, but also refined several dragon bodies, and it is now so advanced that it cannot be further raised.

His sword intent he has also practiced a lot recently, finding training swordsmanship with his clones pointless, and intends to wait for a chance to spar with stronger opponents.

Therefore he and his three clones have lately been condensing Divine Core, already showing signs of a breakthrough, and it is expected that a breakthrough will occur after some time.

His army now numbers over seven hundred thousand; after reorganization they majestically rode warships rushing toward the Huo Yin Star System.

He himself never appeared at all, participated in no decisions from start to finish, merely stayed with Yu Xiaofeng's fleet, condensing Divine Core within the Space World.

Now he not only lets the Divine Core circulate within his body on its own, but also has Thunder Spirit and Fire Spirit take turns assisting in condensing the Divine Core, so his Divine Core's quality is unusually solid.

He plans to first breakthrough his realm, then use Soul‑wandering Taixu to temper his Divine Soul Power, and finally devour a Dragon Soul to further boost his Divine Soul Power.

However, during this period he has not consumed any True Dragon Yuan Pill. The True Essence inside a True Dragon Yuan Pill is of Void‑stage quality, usable when he later reaches the Taixu realm. Taking advantage of the free time, he has been using the Exchange Yuan Cauldron to convert Primordial Power for cultivation.

He has also stored the Xing Xi's Primordial Power, intending to use it after entering the Taixu realm. He estimates that when supplementing the Divine Core then, he will need even purer energy.

Half a month after their fleet set out, Ye Liuyun's realm smoothly broke through to Return to One Nine Layers Late Stage. This breakthrough alone took a few days, mainly because the Divine Core's replenishment took longer; the energy converted by the Exchange Yuan Cauldron still needed a second conversion.

After the breakthrough he must also consolidate the realm and fully replenish the energy in the Storage Yuan Stone, which takes even longer. Moreover, after his realm breakthrough, the energy stored in his Storage Yuan Stone is insufficient for two more replenishments.

"This realm has only risen a small weight, yet the required energy is still lacking by this much!"

Ye Liuyun was also deeply shocked. He estimates that if he continues to advance, the Storage Yuan Stone will not even fully replenish a single Divine Core.

He immediately went to find the Celestial Fire Ancestor, asking him to help enlarge the Storage Yuan Stone's space so that it can accommodate the Void‑stage Divine Core when he later reaches the Taixu realm.

The Celestial Fire Ancestor accepted the task. Simply enlarging the Storage Yuan Stone's interior space is easy, but making it withstand Void‑stage power sharply raises the difficulty.

He even thought it would be convenient to absorb it, and discussed with Ye Liuyun to forge the Storage Yuan Stone directly into the shape of a Storage Ring, which can hold items and also store Divine Core.

Ye Liuyun thanked him, knowing that as long as he studies earnestly, the forged item will certainly be excellent.

After consolidating his realm, he went to the Zhan Tai to familiarize himself with the new power, then returned to absorb a Dragon Soul and boost his Divine Soul Power.

After devouring a Dragon Soul, he began using Soul‑wandering Taixu to employ Divine Soul Power, which both condenses the Divine Soul and lets him sense Heaven and Earth Power.

Afterwards, besides using Soul‑wandering Taixu to enhance Heaven and Earth Power, he started practicing Spatial Power, silently slipping into others' Space Worlds and breaking their void barriers.

Upon entering another's Space World, he continues to use Spatial Power to remain invisible, so others cannot detect him.

The people around him all became his targets, which he visited one by one. Those with strong Divine Soul Power or Spatial Power can detect him, but those weak in both cannot.

As for their Storage Rings, he enters and exits at will, and almost no one can spot him.

Now his ability to enter others' spaces is already stronger than the Demon Lion's. Even when he stealthily entered the Demon Lion's Space World, the Demon Lion was only vaguely alert, but could not locate him with Spatial Power; it had to use Divine Soul Power to blanket the entire space to detect him.

The Demon Lion also learned from him, sneaking into his Space World several times. But at first, whenever the Demon Lion broke a spatial barrier, Ye Liuyun immediately discovered him.

Later Ye Liuyun used Spatial Power on his own Space World.

The barriers were reinforced again, and as a result the Demon Lion could not even enter.

Ye Liuyun only uses this method to improve his Spatial Power. Since Leng Qianyu left, he has been unable to find a suitable opponent, so he can only challenge himself this way.

And once he has mastered it, even when encountering enemies, a brief dash into their Space World for a glance still allows him to retreat unscathed.

In fact, even if he is discovered, as long as the opponent's Spatial Power is not as strong as his, they cannot lock him down.

After further cultivating within the Space World for a period, Ye Liuyun and his two clones finally emerged, released their Divine Soul, and practiced Soul‑wandering Taixu.

His Divine Soul Power is now strong enough that he does not worry about anyone daring to attack his Divine Soul.

Yu Xiaofeng, upon seeing that he had finished his cultivation and emerged, discussed with him, asking him to use Spatial Power to lead the army for a stretch.

"The warships are too slow; to return to the Huo Yin Star System would still take at least half a year at best. At this speed, by the time we get back, those Demon Race forces will likely have already withdrawn!"

Yu Xiaofeng worries that if the Demon Race leaves, they will rush there with no battle to fight.

"Alright then!"

Ye Liuyun agreed, treating it as practice for his Spatial Power.

So he stored away all the warships, activated his Spatial Power, and traversed the void.

His current Spatial Power now lets him sprint through the void. Thus, after a full day of traversing the void, he covers more distance than a warship can in a month. After five days of running, Golden Pupil already sighted the Huo Yin Star System, and only then did he release the fleet.

"So that's it? Your Spatial Power is way too strong!"

Yu Xiaofeng also refined Golden Pupil, and upon emerging immediately saw the Huo Yin Star System.

"Mm!"

Ye Liuyun merely replied with a nod, then released his Divine Sense and Golden Pupil to scout the situation in the Huo Yin Star System.

Upon looking, he discovered that the Royal Palace of the Fire Seal Dynasty had already been occupied by the Demon Race. Their army was resting in the Royal City, numbering roughly one million, with strength roughly comparable to theirs.

"You handle the fighting; call me if you need anything!" Ye Liuyun instructed, then returned to the Space World to cultivate.

Yu Xiaofeng immediately reorganized the fleet, advancing the entire army into the Huo Yin Star System, with several Leaders observing the enemy's strength and scouting planets for landing.

The Huo Yin Star System was not completely annihilated; dozens of planets remained in human hands. However, Yu Xiaofeng did not intend to rendezvous with them, instead landing on a planet occupied by the Demon Race, staying away from those human Martial Cultivators.

Ye Liuyun had previously made it clear: they intend to eradicate both the Demon Race army and the Fire Seal Dynasty, so there is no need to join forces with the local Martial Cultivators.

Moreover, those people have little combat ability; they would only cause trouble for the army and require troops to protect them. With so many concerns, it is better to fight them oneself.
