Chapter 3631: The Mighty Lay Siege

Ye Liuyun's one use also consumed too much; not only did he expend six drops of super‑god‑level vital blood, an entire complete soul source was also spent. He even gave the Red Eye on the soul source to his duplicate.

The loss of vital blood and soul instantly made Ye Liuyun feel his power had regressed a great deal.

He immediately returned to cultivate, first using a golden egg to replenish the lost vital blood, then recharging the golden egg with energy. He then began to fully refine the soul source, aiming to restore all the lost soul source.

The soul source he had previously stored was all taken out and put to use.

Chen Haisheng set aside a month to arrange the martial‑match marriage event—sending invitations, spreading news, preparing the Secret Realm. Ye Liuyun had intended to use this period to advance his realm to Taixu Liu Chong, but now he can't attend to it.

He was refining his soul while ingesting a condensed‑dew Divine Core. Yet the effect of the condensed‑dew Divine Core is now insufficient for him. As his realm rises, a single drop produces barely any change.

Sun Que also began to hurry. The Kuailei forged for Ye Liuyun is not merely infused with gold plating; it can't simply transform that easily.

The design fully mimics human anatomy, with countless details. Constructing a Sea of Consciousness to house a soul is already difficult; adding a Space World that integrates a monster beast and an entire planet makes it a massive project.

Fortunately, he had already completed forging the ten sets of golden‑plated armor Ye Liuyun needed. Such items are quite easy for him; even Void Rank Ninth‑grade armor he crafts without effort.

Ye Liuyun gave the ten sets of golden‑plated armor to the monster beasts and Tang Xinyao, ordering them to prepare to join the Demon King Kuailei for the contest.

Although their realms are not high, their combat strength is not weak, and they coordinate with him tacitly. Working with these monster beasts, he easily defeats Martial Cultivators of the Ninth Realm.

If Sun Que finds time to repair the Bà Tiān Kuailei, then there will be two Cave Heaven Realm Kuailei, making them even safer.

However, before Ye Liuyun had cultivated long, a large number of Martial Cultivators arrived outside the Formation.

These Martial Cultivators were led by an elder of the Sun clan, including Sun clan elders and disciples, plus many mercenaries. Qiong Qi immediately informed Ye Liuyun to come out and defend, fearing he could not hold them alone.

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to pause his cultivation temporarily and observe the outside situation.

"Whoa, the Sun clan really went big, bringing so many!" Ye Liuyun made a quick survey: the numbers were over a thousand, and none were below Seventh Layer; it seems they are intent on reclaiming the people.

These people shouted outside for a while, forcing Ye Liuyun to hand over a person.

"Ye Liuyun, we know you're inside. You think a mere Formation can fool us?"

The elder leading the Sun clan's team was Grand Elder Sun Yifeng, who transmitted his voice from outside into the Formation.

He is not only a Ninth Realm Martial Cultivator but also an alchemist. Alchemists generally understand some Formations. Although Ye Liuyun's dwelling is concealed by the Formation and invisible from outside, Sun Yifeng sensed the Formation's presence.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun gave no reply after shouting for a while, he promptly dispatched a squad into the Illusion Array.

Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil to lock onto several alchemists, then did not let the mercenaries outside act; instead he acted personally, pulling those people's souls into his Refining Soul Cauldron, and as the soul source power accumulated.

Just as his soul source reserves were depleting quickly, someone arrived at his door.

Although the Martial Cultivators who entered the Formation were all powerful, within the Illusion Array they could not exert even half their strength. Some died while still trapped in the illusion, unaware of how they died.

And several Sun clan disciples with alchemy ability were directly marked with a Slave Seal by Ye Liuyun and taken into the Space World to assist Sun Que in forging.

Sun Yifeng, seeing the people go in and not emerge, guessed the Formation was formidable and dared not send more in rashly. He simultaneously notified the clan to send a Formation Master over, while using his own crafted treasure to try to disrupt the Illusion Array.

The first thing thrown in was a scouting paper crane. The paper crane can locate a person's position and record terrain.

As soon as the paper crane entered the Illusion Array, Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi spotted it, and Ye Liuyun shot it down with a single arrow from the Item; it gathered no information at all.

Sun Yifeng immediately sensed the paper crane's loss of contact and sent in a powerful Kuailei, but Ye Liuyun dispatched the Demon King to dismantle that Kuailei, collecting the fragments for Sun Que's alchemy.

Sun Yifeng also immediately noticed that Paper Crane had lost contact, and sent in a powerful Kuailei, but Ye Liuyun dispatched the Demon King to directly dismantle that Kuailei, collected the fragments, and gave them to Sun Que for a refining apparatus.

Sun Yifeng cursed, then threw a portable Soul‑Stabilizing Bell into it; the Demon King pierced the bell with an arrow, rendering it a scrap on the spot.

After that, Sun Yifeng no longer dared to toss treasures inside. Once a treasure leaves his control, its power wanes. Moreover, the treasures he throws must carry divine consciousness and be able to actively attack human Martial Cultivators. He doesn't have many such treasures.

Another Sun clan alchemist released a Flying Boat, intending to enlarge it and smash it down to burst the Formation, but once the Flying Boat was thrown in, the Demon King blasted it to pieces, turning it into alchemy material.

"Stop trying; that kid must have already captured Sun Que's Kuailei, otherwise it couldn't have such power. Let's wait for the Formation Master!"

Sun Yifeng no longer allowed anyone to try; he knows how terrifying Sun Que's forged Kuailei are.

After Ye Liuyun saw their attacks cease, he immediately returned to the Space World to seize every moment for cultivation, daring not to waste a second.

Not long after, the Sun clan sent five Formation Masters through a Teleportation Array. However, these five also must enter the Formation and find the formation eye to break it.

So Sun Yifeng dispatched two squads to guard the two Formation Masters, sending them first into the Illusion Array they set up to assess the situation.

Ye Liuyun immediately emerged again, using Spiritual Soul Attack to capture each of those people's souls into his Refining Soul Cauldron one by one.

The two Formation Masters originally possessed some resistance to the Illusion Array, but Ye Liuyun employed Divine Soul Power outright, giving them no chance to act and seizing their souls.

He now has the secret script, and doesn't intend to capture more Formations for later nurturing, so he simply exterminated them.

Afterward, he rushed back to cultivate; as the energy in the golden egg recovered a bit, he immediately refined a bit of soul source. Sun Yifeng, having waited outside for a day, saw that the Formation Masters had not returned and began to worry.

"This Illusion Array is not ordinary in strength; even resisting it is hard, let alone breaking it!" the three remaining Formation Masters outside offered this advice to Sun Yifeng.
