Chapter 3600: No Obstacles

Duanmu Xin had already decided in his heart that after this time he would return to the Demon Race.

He could no longer stay here. The Duanmu Hall he had painstakingly built, in reputation, resources, and manpower, had been completely destroyed by Ye Liuyun. If he remained, should he meet Ye Liuyun again later, he would have no strength to resist.

"This Ye Liuyun is a demon, ten thousand times scarier than Du Hansong of Pingyang Guan!" He decided that after returning he would warn his clan to be extremely careful of this man.

But he did not know that, as a failure like him, no matter what he said would no longer draw the Demon Race's attention.

"Have you thought it through or not?"

Ye Liuyun only then stopped his spell and spoke to him.

Duanmu Xin trembled his lips, trying to beg for mercy, yet feeling that Ye Liuyun could not spare him; speaking would be useless. So he finally closed his eyes and let Ye Liuyun decide his fate.

Ye Liuyun would not let him go simply because he stayed silent. He again unleashed the Sealing Demon Tablet to absorb Duanmu Xin's power.

This time it not only lowered his cultivation realm, but the Sealing Demon Tablet also absorbed Duanmu Xin's Soul and the power within his Physical Body. If his Bloodline Power had not already been drained by Xue Ling Shen, the tablet would have taken that as well.

Duanmu Xin's current realm is low; facing the Sealing Demon Tablet he has no defensive power, and he is sucked down, lying on the ground like a dead dog, only inhaling, not exhaling.

Ye Liuyun waited until his realm fell to the first layer of Taixu, then sheathed the Sealing Demon Tablet and cast a spell on him, corroding his core.

Roar!

Duanmu Xin roared in resentment, yet he had no power to resist. After Buddha Light Power corroded his core, even with abundant resources he could not restore his strength; it was almost the same as having his core destroyed.

All the Demon Cultivators silently watched their former lord being punished, and none dared to feel sympathy. The once‑arrogant demon lord, now tormented by Ye Liuyun to a fate worse than death, made every one of them fear Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun said lightly, "I warned you before; if you oppose me again, the next time I see you I'll leave a mark so you'll remember for a long time!"

Then he clapped his hands and called everyone back into his Space World: "Alright, let's withdraw; this matter is over!"

Afterwards he released the Flying Boat and returned to Black Cloud City, leaving Duanmu Xin alone to howl in place!

Ye Liuyun was too lazy to warn him again; given his current strength, he likely poses no threat.

After leading his men back to Black Cloud City, he gathered all the Demon Cultivators together, dividing them into several squads to advance south. As before, they captured Mercenaries, covertly expanding the Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps. Then, on key Xingqiu and cities, they seized the Chengzhu Fu and cultivated his own power.

He himself was not idle, often leading Mercenaries on missions, capturing prisoners, and gathering resources everywhere.

After the Duanmu Hall was eliminated, they no longer faced any major obstacles or opponents; even when occasional great powers blocked his way, he could easily resolve them.

Thus the subsequent events progressed smoothly, and Ye Liuyun's sphere of influence quickly expanded to Pingyang Guan.

Ye Liuyun also led his companions out of Black Cloud City, moved into Pingyang Guan, and made it a base for future development.

Ye Liuyun's dealings with Chengyuan Shanghui continued. Lǐ Chéngfēng helped Ye Liuyun allocate two batches of high‑end resources, which Ye Liuyun gave to women such as Liang Xue. Now these women's realms have risen to the second and third layers of Taixu.

The Xue Ling Shen that Duanmu Xin turned in, Ye Liuyun had Moon Rainbow refine for the women, letting them use it to boost their Bloodline Power.

His Bloodline Power is already so strong that he does not need such resources to enhance it. Using a golden egg to boost Bloodline Power later would be the same.

Li Qianjiao has become much more familiar with Ye Liuyun, no longer as restrained as before; occasional chats include jokes, yet they never cross the bounds of ordinary friends.

At first Li Qianjiao was very anxious, but she realized she could not bring herself to beg for his favor; Ye Liuyun is not a lecher, so she gradually let go.

"Just go with the flow!" she told herself.

Lǐ Chéngfēng was also helpless about this. He had already done everything he could, and could only help Li Qianjiao this much.

However, he also noticed that Li Qianjiao was increasingly understanding Ye Liuyun, and in many of her remarks she was already, consciously or unconsciously, defending his interests.

So he no longer urged Li Qianjiao, feeling she was making some progress.

All the various resources Ye Liuyun now needs are obtained through trades with Chengyuan Shanghui. Especially after he sweeps away some great powers, he goes to Chengyuan Shanghui to exchange resources.

Even all the Mercenaries under his command conduct transactions at Chengyuan Shanghui. This business support is already considerable.

After such a long time, the extraterrestrial meteorite that Ye Liuyun refined was only a third processed. Moreover, the metal produced has already been absorbed by the War God Armor and the Heaven Devourer.

However, the War God Armor's grade has risen two levels in a row. Now the power and attack of the Taixu realm can no longer pierce its defense. Having absorbed enough, it voluntarily requested to return to Ye Liuyun's body surface.

Heaven Devourer's grade also improved, and its sharpness and toughness now surpass the Demon Slaying Sword.

Thus Ye Liuyun took out the Heaven Devourer to use first, placed the Demon Slaying Sword back in for another upgrade, and also put Lei Ming's Thunder God Hammer and Long Nv's Coiling Dragon Staff together for a re‑refinement.

The two fire spirits have already refined the flames they had collected. The once‑slightly weaker Nether Ghost Fire now actually…

Ye Liuyun hasn't yet exchanged flames with Qiong Qi, letting them improve on their own for now. In any case, which of the two fire spirits is stronger makes little difference to him.

Tang Xinyao raised her realm to the early Sixth Layer using the energy of the golden egg. Chen Yueying, after long‑term accumulation, finally broke through to the early Sixth Layer as well.

During this period, Ye Liuyun has been focusing on strengthening Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power. His earlier realm breakthroughs were rapid, but his Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power have not advanced much.

He even recruited two Demon Cultivators strong in Spatial Power and Heaven and Earth Power as sparring partners. Recently he has sensed the sixth‑layer spatial barrier and is preparing a breakthrough. Heaven and Earth Power has also greatly improved. Now, using only Heaven and Earth Power, he can match opponents of the same tier.

In other aspects of cultivation, he merely used the golden egg to reinforce his Physical Body, then condensed five drops of super‑god‑level essence blood. He did not rush to raise his realm, but prepared comprehensively for future advancement, training other strengths far beyond his current realm.
