Chapter 3869: Monster Beast Blocks the Way

Ye Liuyun was already overjoyed.

"It's already sufficient. With the spatial law I just mastered, you can now fully unleash the power of Hédào Wǔchóng."

"There's also blade intent and Time Power, which can yield even greater force. Our blade intent is also getting close to the law's power!" the Clone Puppet added.

"Hmm, once Spatial Power finishes absorbing the Dao principle, we should strengthen those two aspects as well!" Ye Liuyun also thought he had been cultivating Spatial Power too much lately and should balance other areas.

Ye Liuyun and the Clone Puppet switched their bows and arrows back. The Clone Puppet's Item was already sufficient. With his realm, he could fire Hédào Wǔchóng arrows, enough to kill foes.

After Ye Liuyun equipped the Godslaying Bow, he could also slay Hédào Yīchóng Martial Cultivators, and his ranged attacks had a certain deterrent effect.

Afterwards, Zhan Kong's realm was raised to Hédào Sānchóng by Sun Que. Mainly because his Divine Soul Power was still insufficient, he could only reach that level for now.

But Zhan Kong, having mastered the spatial law increasingly, was already near a complete Dao principle, so his combat power far exceeded his realm.

The Painter only rose to Hédào Èrchóng, also due to lacking Divine Soul Power. He fought little, gathered few soul resources, all of which were given by others.

Gu Changhong, Qian Meng, the Demon King, and Bà Tiān were all elevated to Hédào Èrchóng. For puppets that were originally only at Dòngtiān Jìngjiè, this was already a huge breakthrough.

As for the other thirteen puppets, Sun Que, lacking suitable metal, was too lazy to improve them and only performed some repairs.

"The rest need't be rushed; just remodel them slowly!"

Ye Liuyun also told Sun Que not to hurry the progress.

These Skeleton Puppets at Cultivation realms, by sheer number, could already intimidate any dynasty.

Even if Sun Que upgraded the puppets, he couldn't use them for now. Moreover, the higher the puppets' realms, the more energy they consume.

Now when the Clone, Zhan Kong and other puppets act, consumption is three to five times greater than before.

There's no need for Ye Liuyun to be reluctant to let them act. These puppets usually stay motionless in place, continuing to refine the soul sources they have collected.

Skeleton Soldiers are normally in dormancy; unless it's wartime, Ye Liuyun doesn't let them expend energy.

Sun Que also thought so, selecting some Dragon Bones above Hédào Wǔchóng, splitting and refining them, forging fifty Hédào Wǔchóng Skeleton Puppets for Ye Liuyun's reserve.

Then he fashioned three hundred Hédào Sānchóng puppets and went on to teach others how to forge weapons.

Everyone had been cultivating for quite some time, and after landing they all wanted to improve their meals.

But their numbers were too great; even a tavern couldn't seat them, so they had Ye Liuyun take Lei Ming and Long Nv to order at the tavern while everyone waited inside the Space World.

Ye Liuyun left the puppets to guard the Flying Boat, and rushed with Lei Ming and Long Nv to the tavern. Murong Yuantang followed behind like a servant.

Sòng Cháng'ān took thirteen Metal Puppets at Dòngtiān Jìngjiè to guard the Flying Boat.

"Huh? The Monster Beast aura here is very strong!" Lei Ming instantly noticed something odd while on the Flying Boat.

"Not bad, this Xingqiu should have many Monster Beasts!" Long Nv confirmed.

They all smelled the thick Monster Beast scent in the air.

Ye Liuyun scanned the area with Golden Pupil, saw no Monster Beast, and didn't mind much.

"Maybe the locals like raising Monster Beasts!"

But before they got far, the street fell into chaos.

Far away, a giant crocodile crawled toward them, its massive body crowding the whole street. Pedestrians on both sides were knocked about, some trampled, sparking shrieks and wails.

"Move aside, quick move aside!"

On the giant crocodile's back, a blue‑haired man shouted loudly, as if his mount had gone out of control, while punching the beast's head.

Ye Liuyun and his few companions had nowhere to dodge, otherwise they'd have to retreat to the street's end to evade.

"I'll handle that big croc!" Lei Ming was about to act.

"Just scare it. Don't act here; too many people, easy to harm innocents!" Ye Liuyun reminded Lei Ming.

"Alright!"

Lei Ming replied, took a few steps forward to meet the giant croc, unchanged in form, emitting a low beast roar and releasing his Bloodline Pressure.

That croc was only at Second Stage of Dong Tian, while Lei Ming was already at Sixth Tier Late Stage, and his Bloodline Pressure easily suppressed the croc.

The croc lunged forward, then suddenly startled, abruptly halted, and lowered its head, slowly retreating.

"Huh?" the blue‑haired man on the croc's back exclaimed, eyeing Lei Ming.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil swept over and realized the man was actually a Monster Beast.

Then the man drew a massive axe, both hands gripping it, and swung at the croc's head.

With a "Puff" sound, the croc's head was cleaved open by his axe, and he sucked it into the Space World.

"So you can deal with it. Then why let it roam the street?" Lei Ming, hand on his waist, asked in confusion.

"I originally intended to tame it, but I've changed my mind. You're stronger than it; I want to tame you!" the man, axe over his shoulder, said boisterously.

Lei Ming froze, lifted his nose to sniff, then glanced with Golden Pupil, disdainfully saying, "A blue‑haired monkey dares to claim it can tame me, where did you get that courage!"

"Just by this axe in my hand!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the few people behind Lei Ming and also spotted Long Nv.

Though Long Nv hadn't released her Bloodline Pressure, the Monster Beast's keen nose could still sense her difference.

"Not just you, but also her! Haha, I went hunting and didn't expect to meet two rare finds!"

He laughed as he spoke.

"What if you can't beat me?" Lei Ming swung his fist and asked him.

"If I can't beat you, I'll acknowledge you as boss!" the man scoffed.

"You don't deserve it!" Lei Ming directly rejected his proposal.

"If you want to spar with me, bring out something I'm interested in!"

The blue‑haired man actually thought it over and said, "Then I'll take you to Ming Dragon Abyss; there should be things you're interested in. What you obtain depends on you."

Clearly, he had already sensed their identities.

"Ming Dragon Abyss? What place is that?" Lei Ming asked curiously.

"Are you outsiders? No local doesn't know Ming Dragon Abyss; it's a burial place of dragons!"

Lei Ming only then turned his head to look at Ye Liuyun, waiting for his answer with an expectant expression.
