Chapter 3555: Eradicate Completely

This time Ye Liuyun didn't use Divine Core, but collected many Demon Race soul sources; after refining them, the Demon Qi turns into Buddha Light Power and the soul sources can be absorbed, not only replenishing the Purple Eye's consumption but also leaving plenty surplus.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun and his group stopped deploying formations and simply defended within the formation.

The Demon Race sent two more squads, with the same result, so they resumed the human‑sea tactic; hundreds arrived at once, divided into several small squads.

Each squad was led by ten demons of the eighth or ninth Realm, who surrounded them; the higher‑realm demons rode Demon Beasts, followed by twenty‑to‑thirty lower‑realm demons.

The lower‑realm demons ranged from Fourth to Seventh Realm, and no early‑stage Taixu demons were sent to fight; once these demons entered the formation, they were scattered by its attacks and could no longer find each other within the Illusion Array.

Ye Liuyun was busy, acting separately from the Sealing Demon Tablet; when he met high‑realm Demon Cultivators he used Spiritual Soul Attack, and when he faced sixth‑ or seventh‑realm demons he fought to temper himself.

Even when confronting Seventh‑realm demons, he didn't don War God Armor, preferring to defend with his physical body; for Fourth‑ and Fifth‑realm demons he now handles them even more easily, dispatching them with a single move.

So he let Qiong Qi send those demons of that realm away, letting the Monster Beasts practice.

The Monster Beasts were no slouches, handling these Fourth‑ and Fifth‑realm demons with ease; when they encountered the red training, they were drained outright, without needing her to intervene.

Lei Ming, Long Nv, the Vermilion Bird, the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon, and Little Blue Ice each have abilities that can annihilate Fifth‑realm demons; the others focus on Fourth‑realm demons.

The Monster Beasts fought with great ease, but this time Ye Liuyun ran into several Ninth‑realm demons whose Sea of Consciousness housed guarded treasures, and two of those demons managed to hit him.

His first blow sent him flying and made him vomit blood; the strong opponent was so fast that Ye Liuyun couldn't activate War God Armor in time, yet the War God Armor sensed the attack's strength and automatically blocked part of the force for him.

However, within the Illusion Array, after the demon knocked Ye Liuyun airborne, it could no longer locate him, giving him a chance to catch his breath; Ye Liuyun drank Life Spring Water to recover for a while, then went after the demon again, using his Purple Eye to spiritually annihilate its soul.

Otherwise, he truly had no way to deal with that demon; its strength was great, and the guardian within its Sea of Consciousness couldn't be broken quickly. Being hit again would likely wound him, and if it discovered his position, it would be even more dangerous.

When struck the second time, he was prepared, having pre‑activated War God Armor, so he wasn't injured and even devoured the soul source the opponent expelled, successfully turning the tables.

At the end, seeing his Divine Core still abundant, he used the Item to shoot a Ninth‑realm demon, testing the Item's power.

His Divine Core was already high‑quality, and with Buddha Light Power infused, the demon couldn't block it; yet he knew that if the opponent weren't a demon, even wearing protective armor he might not even kill an eighth‑realm Martial Cultivator.

After the eighth‑ and ninth‑realm demons and Demon Beasts were wiped out, they immediately withdrew to cultivate; the few remaining demons were handed over by Ye Liuyun to the Sealing Demon Tablet, letting it slowly wear them down.

He returned early to restore True Essence, trying to use less condensed dew Divine Core so his realm wouldn't ascend too quickly.

The battle gradually subsided, and everyone began cleaning the battlefield, while the Sealing Demon Tablet continued to absorb the corpses of demons and Demon Beasts one by one.

Unlike the red training, as long as a corpse hasn't rotted, it can absorb its energy—True Essence, bloodline, physical body, even the demon's scale armor—leaving nothing behind; thus the dry corpses it has absorbed are more thoroughly consumed than those the red training has.

The Monster Beasts simply retrieved the Storage Rings, and even the demons they had slain themselves were left on the spot for the Sealing Demon Tablet to absorb.

They all knew the Sealing Demon Tablet was upgrading quickly and could become Ye Liuyun's assistant, so they allocated resources to it first; after all, they had already stockpiled plenty and weren't short of resources for now.

Resources.

However, this time the Sealing Demon Tablet aims to break from sixth to seventh grade, requiring more energy; even after absorbing so much, it still hasn't reached seventh grade.

After the battle, it didn't wander off, seeming to know this place is dangerous and its power insufficient, so it quietly waited nearby.

Ye Liuyun wasn't in a hurry to use condensed dew Divine Core, planning to wait until the formation was attacked; yet he waited until cultivation ended, and no one transmitted a voice to summon him.

When he emerged a few days later, he learned that Lei Ming and the other Monster Beasts, together with the Sealing Demon Tablet, had eliminated all demons that had attacked in recent days.

They relied on Qiong Qi's formation to let the demons charge in first, then Lei Ming, Bai Hu and other Martial Cultivators wielding Black and White Light, together with the Sealing Demon Tablet, approached the strong demons, using the tablet's resistance to counter the opponents' pressure; they then launched surprise attacks with Technique or Black Light, after which the Sealing Demon Tablet absorbed the demons' power.

Once those strong ones were eliminated, the remaining demons could no longer deal with the Sealing Demon Tablet. The Monster Beasts also let loose for fun, then all retreated back into the formation.

After these several rounds, the number of strong demons kept decreasing, and the attacking demon forces dwindled as well; so their fights became even easier, and no one bothered Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun gauged the Sealing Demon Tablet's grade and, seeing it hadn't reached seventh grade, felt speechless.

"You glutton, you've absorbed so much energy yet haven't upgraded your grade."

If the Sealing Demon Tablet doesn't reach seventh grade, its effectiveness against eighth‑ and ninth‑realm demons is limited; against even stronger demons it would be even less useful.

But since it doesn't upgrade, Ye Liuyun can't do anything about it.

After emerging, he and everyone waited another day; the demon side remained silent, so he gathered the group back into the Space World and, with Qiong Qi, moved forward to set up the formation.

Once Qiong Qi finished arranging the formation, they paused to rest, awaiting the demons' attack.

He stayed outside, also deploying the Buddha Light Golden Body's Guardian God Seal to absorb the local Demon Qi; the Demon Qi here is far richer than that outside, making it a good cultivation resource.

From the soul sources refined in his Sea of Consciousness, he distributed many to Lei Ming, the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon, and the Demon Lion; the remainder, after absorbing Demon Qi, he merged further into his own soul source, continuing gradual assimilation.

But after staying here for a day, the demon side still showed no sign of movement.

"What's going on? Have we wiped out all the demons?" Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.

"Probably not all, but close enough! I guess they're gathering strength for the final battle with you! If they keep being drained like this, they'll soon run out of troops!" Qiong Qi guessed.
