Chapter 3867: Principles of the Spatial Dao

The battlefield now completely favors Ye Liuyun's side, so they don't need to act; if the Monster Beasts can't win, they can release the Skeleton Puppets they carry, and they won't suffer any loss.

As long as the Metal Puppets don't encounter strong ones of Hédào Jìngjiè, they can basically handle it; at worst their shells get scratched.

When Ye Liuyun stabilizes his realm, the puppets and Monster Beasts all return safely, and the two Demon Race members Zhan Kong and Lei Ming have also captured four prisoners from the Dòngtiān Jiǔchóng.

The Clone Puppet directly plants Slave Seals on those four people, preparing to hand them to Sun Que for forging into Metal Puppets.

However, neither he nor the wounds on the Metal Puppets have been repaired; they are waiting for Sun Que to breakthrough his realm, then they will all be upgraded together.

The gilded shell of the Clone Puppet lets it change its appearance, can cover the hole in its chest, and won't be noticed by others.

At this moment Ye Liuyun also stands up. Unfortunately the battle is already over, so he has no chance to practice and must wait for the next time.

He immediately gathers the Monster Beasts into the Space World, sending them back to rest. The Monster Beasts have exhausted their True Essence in this battle, so staying outside would be dangerous.

"The Flying Sword Dynasty has discovered our mining of the Mineral Vein, and will probably keep sending people to harass us while mustering more Martial Cultivators to kill us."

He thinks the royal court may not be able to dispatch a massive force of Martial Cultivators for another full‑scale attack at once, but they will certainly try to delay our mining progress.

Thus he releases six hundred Skeleton Soldiers, placing three Skeleton Soldiers around the Mineral Vein in groups of three, cooperating to defend and slay any Martial Cultivators who approach.

The artist then sets up Formations for each group of puppets and the Mineral Vein, defending against the enemy's Flying Sword ambushes.

The other three hundred Skeleton Soldiers dig the Mineral Vein from another direction, working on two fronts to speed up extraction.

Zhan Kong and the Clone Puppet hide in the void, watching from afar. If the enemy's large force attacks, they can also launch a surprise strike.

Hou Yunfeng is responsible for guarding the Mineral Vein, while the other puppets prepare to meet the enemy.

Just after Ye Liuyun finishes arranging everyone, a crack suddenly opens in the sky, and Heavenly Dao emerges from it with Ye Ling.

Ye Liuyun immediately goes to meet him.

"Big brother, you broke through so quickly?" Ye Ling happily pounces at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun pats the Ye Ling that had leapt into his arms.

"Yes, isn't that hoping you'll return to my side quickly? Xue Er and Qing Cheng also miss you a lot!"

"Alright, I've already sent the person back to you, so I should go!" Heavenly Dao greets Ye Liuyun and prepares to leave.

"Hold on, does that Space Soul Marrow in the Mineral Vein below contain a complete Dao Principle?" Ye Liuyun thinks he can't miss this chance to verify.

Heavenly Dao glances down, makes a gesture, and directly snatches the Space Soul Marrow into his hand.

Ye Liuyun feels a surge of anxiety, fearing Heavenly Dao will snatch the Space Soul Marrow away.

"Indeed! Though it's a copy, it doesn't hinder your use! But who did this?"

She stares at the marrow, falls into thought, and after a while, as if finding an answer, tosses the Space Soul Marrow to Ye Liuyun.

"Your luck is really good! Seeing you nervous, I couldn't even try to snatch this thing from you! If you absorb it all, the Spatial Dao Principle will be almost complete, and breaking through to Hédào Jìngjiè will certainly be no problem."

"Thank you!"

Ye Liuyun gives an awkward smile, then immediately stores the Space Soul Marrow into his own Space World.

Heavenly Dao smiles, shakes his head, waves at him, and then vanishes directly, without needing to tear open the void.

After Heavenly Dao leaves, Ye Liuyun is so delighted his mouth can't close.

He has only been sailing through the Xingkong for a short time, yet he obtained a complete Dao Principle, and it's the Spatial Dao's principle—what a huge gain!

Moreover, now that he has the Space Soul Marrow, he no longer needs so many puppets to guard the Mineral Vein. The vein has already been excavated by the puppets for more than half in these two days, leaving little remaining.

So he recalls the six hundred puppets he just released, preparing to wait for the Dynasty to send people, and he also goes out to move around.

At the same time, he sends a Transmission Voice to Murong Tian Yuan, asking him to arrange for the Murong Family to flee quickly. After finishing the Mineral Vein, he will depart.

And the erring Murong Tian Yuan will not be spared; after Murong Tian Yuan has arranged others, he comes here to report.

Murong Tian Yuan immediately follows the instructions Ye Liuyun taught him, informing them that the Dynasty still has three strong ones of Hédào Jìngjiè, which Ye Liuyun's side cannot stop, and orders everyone to withdraw at once.

Thus the remaining members of their family split into ten groups and scatter to flee.

Murong Tian Yuan stays behind, claiming he will hide his name and monitor the Mineral Vein nearby, and reports to Ye Liuyun at the vein.

Ye Liuyun merely tells him to stay within the Formation awaiting battle, not even interested in turning him into a puppet, deeming him too weak.

Soon, the Clone Puppet and Zhan Kong notice scattered Martial Cultivators sneaking toward the Mineral Vein and inform Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun personally goes out to intercept. First he suppresses the opponents' realms with his bloodline, then uses Divine Core to defeat two fourth‑layer Cave Heaven Martial Cultivators.

After exhausting his Divine Core, he employs Spatial Power to close in on those Martial Cultivators, then kills them with blade intent. Simultaneously he freezes time and throws the opponents' Souls into the Soul Refining Cauldron.

When encountering Martial Cultivators wielding Flying Swords, he tests talismans; the effect on a single Flying Sword is also excellent, able to seal its power.

Deprived of power, the Flying Sword can be chased with Spatial teleportation, then a single slash splits it in two, after which he deals with the Martial Cultivator controlling it.

Only when he alone is overwhelmed do Zhan Kong and the Clone Puppet intervene. The other puppets and Murong Tian Yuan never get a chance to act.

Two days later, the entire Mineral Vein is hollowed out by the puppets; Ye Liuyun gathers all the Crystal Stones, the puppets are recalled, and then releases a Flying Boat that departs directly from this Xing Xi, continuing toward his goal.

The Space Crystal Stones have all been mined; he has no purpose left here. As for the Flying Sword Dynasty, he has no interest at all. Biquge

After they leave, Ye Liuyun hurriedly distributes the Space Crystal Stones to everyone, not forgetting to give Zhan Kong a share.

He begins to absorb that Space Soul Marrow himself. The Clone Puppet still patrols outside with the other puppets.

The Flying Boat hasn't gone far when it encounters a squad of Martial Cultivators dispatched by the Dynasty to intercept.

This time the Clone Puppet is too lazy to fight them slowly, so it releases three hundred Skeleton Soldiers, driving the Martial Cultivators away.

Then their Flying Boat bursts out of the Flying Sword Xing Xi, drifting farther and farther in the Xingkong.

The Flying Sword Dynasty, seeing that they face so many puppets of Hédào Jìngjiè, dares not pursue any longer, and can only consider themselves unlucky.

Ye Liuyun first makes a planet within his Cave Heaven World accelerate its rotation again.
