Chapter 3596: Stubbornly Refusing to Leave

Shi Yuan saw Ye Liuyun's Heaven Devourer badly damaged and howled in grief again.

"It's just a weapon; if it breaks it can be repaired, no big deal. Why are you so worked up? Everyone, get back to cultivation!"

Ye Liuyun urged them, then hurriedly tossed the Heaven Devourer into the Heaven‑Swallowing Cauldron, using a meteorite refined by Fire Spirit to mend it.

The two Xuanwu, seeing Ye Liuyun's Heaven Devourer so damaged, realized the opportunity was secured by him and felt grateful.

"Make the most of the time to cultivate; don't disappoint the leader's wishes!"

Xuanwu reminded Shi Yuan, who immediately began absorbing. Shi Yuan and Shadow then followed, drawing the Stone Golem's energy.

Ye Liuyun, seeing them go to cultivate, relaxed and began closely observing the refinement of the meteorite.

The meteorite was only refined a shallow surface layer, yet that alone markedly improved the War God Armor's quality. The spots previously pierced by Flying Swallow and Golden Spear had already self‑repaired.

"The meteorite's quality surpasses that of the previous Repair‑Heaven Stone!" the War God Armor told Ye Liuyun.

"Then go ahead, raise its grade by one, and repair the Heaven Devourer as well. Later I'll send the Demon Slaying Sword in too, so it can absorb some and all of us can improve together."

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected the meteorite to have such miraculous effects.

However, the War God Armor's recovery gave him another surprise.

"If I linger here longer, I might not be limited to just one grade increase!" the War God Armor analyzed.

Because not only the material quality improved, Ye Liuyun's flame and Thunder and Lightning Power also rose significantly. It also suggested inserting the Thunder Spirit for joint tempering!

"Fine!" Ye Liuyun didn't hesitate, immediately adding the Thunder Spirit to aid the tempering of weapons and armor.

Next, Ye Liuyun circled the Formation, walking around. He discovered that the planet still harbored many Stone Golems, though none as large as the one previously seen. Moreover, after that Golem was eliminated, the others temporarily dared not surface.

Ye Liuyun also used his Golden Pupil to see through several mountains, uncovering energy Crystal Cores inside. He selected a few with abundant energy, froze time with Time Power, extracted the energy, and set it aside for Shi Yuan and others to cultivate.

For the following period, Ye Liuyun took no further action, leaving the rest for Shi Yuan and the Xuanwu to gather themselves.

After the three—Shi Yuan and the two Xuanwu—absorbed the Stone Giant's power, their realms all reached the Fourth Layer Peak.

The Monster Beasts' realm advancement was far faster than that of Human Martial Cultivators. As long as energy was sufficient, they could ascend, many without worrying about unstable realms.

Seeing their realms stable, Ye Liuyun confidently let them go on trials, distributing the accumulated energy to them. The three continued absorbing while fighting abroad.

At this point, Ye Liuyun released the others as well, sending anyone willing to fight out to spar.

He explained to Li Qianjiao and Chen Yueying that the Stone Giant was being ground down slowly, a process similar to the Golden Spirit Beast; the two didn't doubt much nor ask further.

The Monster Beasts couldn't stay idle; even though they were all Stone Golems, they were eager to fight and help Shi Yuan and the Xuanwu amass energy.

Thus all the Monster Beasts continued to join the battle. Even Qiong Qi went out to fight, absorbing plenty of flame, his realm rising to the Fifth Layer, and he wanted to test his skills.

Chen Yueying and Li Qianjiao, seeing the Monster Beasts near Ye Liuyun advance so quickly, grew anxious and also went out to grind in combat.

Evergreen Vine also burrowed into the earth, seeking earth‑type ferocious beasts to absorb their energy.

Ye Liuyun, taking advantage of the time, used a drop of Condensed Dew Divine Core to fortify his realm. That single drop can no longer raise his realm further.

Each minor sub‑realm upgrade within the Taixu realm demands massive energy. If he wishes to ascend further, he'll still need the Golden Egg.

However, his realm having just risen, he wasn't in a hurry; he used the Golden Egg to refine Essence Blood, producing five more drops this time, raising the total to fifteen drops.

If he unleashed the power of those fifteen drops, even a Ninth Realm Martial Cultivator would be instantly suppressed to roughly the Seventh Realm, having no advantage before him.

Later, he also boosted the Soul Source he was currently refining using the Golden Egg's energy. His Purple‑Pupil Soul Source is now nearly twice the size of the other two.

Ye Liuyun assessed the Purple‑Pupil Soul Source's capability, estimating that even against a Ninth Realm Martial Cultivator it could shatter its soul source, so he stopped over‑enhancing it, instead balancing the three soul sources' strength and replenishing some for further refinement.

With leftover Golden Egg energy, he turned to strengthening his Physical Body, forging it into a solid iron slab, like a treasure.

"Now this Physical Body, without armor, should be unbreakable even to Seventh/Eighth Level Realm Martial Cultivators."

Ye Liuyun has never relaxed in enhancing his Physical Body.

Gradually, the Monster Beasts grew tired and returned to rest. Afterwards, Li Qianjiao and Chen Yueying also came back.

Only Shi Yuan and the two Xuanwu lingered, unwilling to leave; after resting enough they went out to fight again, seeking more resources to raise their strength, not wanting to be the lowest‑realm among the Monster Beasts.

Ye Liuyun understood their mindset; since he also wanted to temper his Physical Body, he joined the three, roaming to strike Stone Golems, relying solely on his body to withstand their attacks.

The two Xuanwu possess turtle shells, and Shi Yuan himself is stone; thus they are all highly resistant, and the Stone Golems can't harm them.

Only when they could no longer find targets, and even Evergreen Vine had returned, did Shi Yuan agree to leave.

Shi Yuan and the two Xuanwu promptly returned to Space World to refine the collected energy Crystal Cores, hastening their power increase.

"You have ten more days to cultivate; after we go out there will be a great battle. Everyone, prepare to fight!"

Ye Liuyun pulled everyone into Space World, urging them to seize the remaining time for cultivation.

At this moment, Tang Xinyao's realm had also risen to Early Fifth Layer via the Golden Egg's energy, and she was to join the fight. Ye Liuyun didn't refuse, merely inspecting her armor and weapon.

He also gave her the Blood Mist Formation Flag for defense, and handed her a 9‑grade Metal Puppet, thoughtfully equipping it with a 9‑grade Long Sword.

"Once the Heaven Devourer is repaired, we'll give it to you. For now, use this Long Sword to deal with it!" Ye Liuyun explained.
