Chapter 3365: Refusing Refinement

After Ye Liuyun and Xiao Heng finished cleaning up the battlefield, they gathered the 200,000 troops into the Second Clone's Space World, letting them return to recover their wounds and reorganize. Full content

Then he took out a Xingqiu, letting the Beast King lead 100,000 Demon Race soldiers to set up a garrison. These 100,000 Demon Race soldiers have relatively low realms, serving as cannon fodder, perfect for defense.

With the assistance of an additional 10,000 Kuailei, their defense was more than sufficient.

He let two clones take turns monitoring the Demon Race's movements, then returned to the clones' Space World to accelerate the Soul Refining Cauldron's refining of the soul source.

He was also very eager for the Soul Refining Cauldron this time to refine a powerful soul source.

He also took Book Demon's advice; to prevent the refined Soul from being too powerful, he deliberately shrank the Soul Refining Cauldron and the prepared empty Soul Sealing Pearl and absorbed them into the Sea of Consciousness. This way, when the refined Soul is released, it won't escape.

According to Book Demon, although the soul source refined by the Soul Refining Cauldron is uncontrolled, if it is too powerful it will automatically resist others' refining and capture.

Although this Soul, once released, has lost its previous memories, cannot distinguish friend from foe, and knows no techniques, if it is too strong, capturing it will be more difficult.

This time's refining period was much longer; Ye Liuyun waited in the clone's Space World for over ten days before the Soul Refining Cauldron indicated that the refining was complete.

The Demon Qi within it he had already gradually absorbed during the refining process, converting it into his own Buddha Demon Power.

Now he excitedly released the refined soul source.

The result was that the soul source's size was actually larger than his own body, four to five times his soul source power. Though it had no appearance, it could probe everything within Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

As soon as it emerged, it was enveloped by the Golden Light of the Ten Thousand Gods Command, yet this did not hinder its movement. After scanning around, it headed toward the outside of the Sea of Consciousness.

It likely dislikes being controlled by the Ten Thousand Gods Command, feeling constrained.

"Stop it!"

Ye Liuyun's four Souls immediately rushed forward, grabbing it and pulling it toward the Soul Sealing Pearl. But the soul source's power was too great; the four Souls each seized an arm or leg, and it dragged them forward.

"If this continues, it'll escape!"

"Slash it then; we can't refine such a huge creature anyway!"

After the Souls of Ye Liuyun conferred, two immediately transformed into soul swords to slash its legs, one transformed into a Swallowing Sky Beast to chase and absorb it, increasing the difficulty of its escape. Another Soul used Heaven and Earth Power to blast it backward from the front.

However, the soul source was so strong that even Heaven and Earth Power could not destroy it. Fortunately, it now had little autonomous awareness and no defense, so it simply endured Ye Liuyun's attacks.

The two soul swords unleashed full blade intent, and it took four slashes to sever a single leg. The severed leg was immediately sucked up by the Swallowing Sky Beast and then thrown into the Soul Sealing Pearl.

In this way, after the soul source's limbs and head were all cut off, the four Souls together finally pulled it into the Soul Sealing Pearl.

"Truly strong!" Ye Liuyun's Souls sincerely praised the soul source's strength.

However, now his several soul sources each have refining tasks, so only the secondary Souls of the two clones can extract part of the Soul power to continue refining.

The remaining massive amount of soul sources, Ye Liuyun kept none; he gave them to Yu Xiaofeng to distribute to the Death Legion's soldiers.

The Monster Beasts, women, and Leaders already have their own soul source power to refine and can no longer absorb more, so he simply handed them to the Death Legion's soldiers as a reward.

This huge soul source is enough for at least fifty soldiers to boost their Soul power.

The Monster Beasts' Soul Sealing Pearls, Ye Liuyun also collected. The Monster Beasts now cannot absorb more power, and still occupy the Soul Sealing Pearls, so it's better to first refine these Souls, letting the soldiers enhance themselves. The other Souls they can capture later.

Nevertheless, he still assisted three Demon Beasts and Lin Feier and others who can absorb Souls containing Demon Qi, refining a few relatively strong soul sources as reserves.

However, this time he controlled the amount of input soul sources, so the refined soul sources were not too strong. His four Souls together could pull them into the Soul Sealing Pearl.

The remaining Souls inside the Soul Sealing Pearls he consumed entirely; this time he gave the refined soul sources to Ye Tiandao and Yue Ying, letting them distribute to the female soldiers.

These ten thousand female soldiers are also his important combat force. After several major battles, the number of these female soldiers is now less than ten thousand. Although he also

tries his best to protect them, but casualties are unavoidable in battle. Ignoring the relatively small casualties, there are still over nine thousand left.

Letting those with weaker Souls boost their Soul power can also reduce their death rate.

When the soldiers have absorbed all the soul source power from the Soul Sealing Pearls, he retrieves the Soul Sealing Pearls, keeping them for the next battle to continue capturing Demon Race Souls.

Moreover, the Soul Refining Cauldron remains placed by him at the entrance of the Sea of Consciousness; any Soul that rushes in will be directly refined by the Cauldron. He also does not wish to control those Demon Race, so he does not want to leave any survivors.

Ye Liuyun also exits the clone's Space World immediately after using the Soul Refining Cauldron, to prevent his own realm from breaking through too early.

He now aims to seize time to boost the strength of those around him and the soldiers, then bring them to the Taixu World. If he breakthroughs too quickly, it would leave these people to cultivate within the Space World, depriving them of opportunities for major battles.

So after he emerged, feeling the army's cultivation was sufficient, he immediately ordered all the armies to depart, marching together toward the nearest planet of the Sacred Demon Xing Xi, letting them use the time to train troops.

The inexhaustible cultivation resources can be temporarily stored for later use, or let soldiers train while fighting.

The Demon Race, upon learning that Yu Lei's Soul war had all been defeated, couldn't help but become anxious.

"It seems winning by sheer numbers is unlikely!"

Some Demon Race elders raised a question: since Ye Liuyun has a Yin Soul army, why not annihilate them outright, but instead wear them down slowly.

"Just train the troops!"

The Demon Race Clan Chief Ao Feng hit the nail on the head with that remark.

In fact, their Demon Race army is the same; sometimes they could instantly wipe out an entire Xingqiu, yet they still fight slowly, training troops while acquiring resources and improving. This reasoning is just like Ye Liuyun's.

So they easily guessed Ye Liuyun's intention: to train troops and to gradually acquire resources for incremental improvement.

"Then we can no longer launch such large-scale Spiritual Soul Attack in the future?" an elder of the Red Demon Race asked the clan chief.

"It's not that we can't, unless we can wipe out their entire army in one go. But that would surely provoke their retaliation; then their Yin Soul army would also annihilate all the Demon Race on this Place (maybe term)."
