Chapter 3908: Soul Defense

Ye Liuyun and his group had also been ambushed several times by the Three‑eyed Evil Creatures' Black and White Light, but the newly forged armor blocked them, causing those Three‑eyed Evil Creatures to lose all threat.

Instead, the Soul attacks of the red‑armored evil creatures posed a greater threat to them. Ye Liuyun and the Clone Puppet sometimes could not capture them even with Time Power.

Often it required the help of Black Tortoise and Shadow, or Vermilion Bird to use Soul Fire directly to extinguish those Souls.

Bai Hu, Shi Yuan, Little Blue Ice and Chi Lian's Sea of Consciousness Defense Array was at one point breached, but Ye Liuyun used Time Power to rescue them.

The women also suffered large‑scale Spiritual Soul Attacks. However Su Miaoyin's melodic art strongly restricts those Souls, causing them to lose consciousness temporarily; the other women can then release Soul relics to kill them.

After the battle, the Sealing Demon Tablet had not fully absorbed the evil creature corpses; Ye Liuyun also helped the Magic Vine collect them.

When he returns with the group to the Space World, they also begin studying methods to defend against Spiritual Soul Attacks.

The Clone Puppet peeled off dozens of fire sources from its own Nether Ghost Fire fire spirit, gave them to everyone, letting all refine them into the Sea of Consciousness for defense.

As for Soul Poison, most of them have some, but on the battlefield its activation is too slow, not conducive to quick kills.

At the same time, the painter also helped set up formations inside the Sea of Consciousness, merging trap formation, Illusion Array and attack formation into one so each can handle multiple Spiritual Soul Attacks simultaneously.

After receiving the fire source of Nether Ghost Fire, everyone immediately fed it with Primordial Power, enlarging it bit by bit.

Only Ye Jin Yuan directly applied a strand of Primordial Power, quickly making his Nether Ghost Fire two to three times larger.

Then he ran to find Sun Que, split off a fire source and forged it into his own sword. Thus, even when facing Spiritual Soul Attacks, he can directly slash with his sword for defense.

The Clone Puppet also gave the women some flame‑releasing relics, each infused with a strand of Nether Ghost Fire's Primordial Power, so they can later use these relics against large‑area Spiritual Soul Attacks.

Next, everyone began cultivating recovery, repairing the damaged battle armor.

The Clone Puppet, leading eleven Dòngtiān Jìngjiè Kuailei, piloted a Flying Boat, scavenging resources planet by planet, gathering Primordial Power.

This star system no longer has resistance forces, and the Clone Puppet also has a Trump Card: a Faction strongman, the Mountain‑Overturning King, who bears a Slave Seal placed by them.

At this moment the Mountain‑Overturning King has been fitted with newly forged armor; from the outside his original appearance is completely hidden, though the time for him to act has not yet come.

The Clone Puppet quickly extracted all Primordial Power, the planet collapsed, and the entire star system vanished again.

They also hurried nonstop toward the next star system, preparing to cause more destruction behind them before the Faction strongmen arrive.

The Clan Chief, a Hédào Wǔchóng Faction strongman named Mo Yuhan, learned they had returned and was greatly troubled.

The Mountain‑Overturning King is of royal blood; a soul lantern remains in the royal house, indicating he did not die in battle, but now he cannot be contacted.

Sending other strongmen to deal with Ye Liuyun would thin the front‑line manpower against the Demon Race.

But Ye Liuyun's group's destructive power is also considerable; they have already wiped out two of their star systems, and if they continue, the damage will exceed that of the Demon Race.

Thus he had to dispatch a batch of royal members stationed at the old stronghold.

In total twenty‑three royal strongmen, all at the Cultivation level, and all from the Faction, moving very fast. They rushed over without needing a Flying Boat.

Meanwhile, in the various star systems near Ye Liuyun, strongmen and soldiers began gathering, ready for defensive attacks.

Thus when Ye Liuyun's group arrived at the next star system, they were intercepted. Over a dozen local Cultivation Realm strongmen, leading tens of thousands of Dòngtiān Jìngjiè evil creatures, charged at them.

Nearly four hundred thousand Faction troops also split into two wings, surrounding them from the flanks.

"Yo he, really taking full advantage of the home field!"

Ye Liuyun, seeing this formation, couldn't help but click his tongue. The opponent's strength was not high, but their numbers were great.

Moreover, these evil creatures never surrender voluntarily; they fight to the last moment, extremely hard to deal with.

"Clone Puppet, go to the left side and set the enemy on fire; Jin Yuan, go to the right side and absorb the side attacks; the middle ones are mine. Lei Ming, release all the monsters from Zhenmo Tower, then capture as many as you can!"

Ye Liuyun quickly made arrangements, equipping the Clone Puppet and Ye Jin Yuan each with one hundred Hédào Sānchóng and one thousand Hédào Yīchóng Skeleton Puppets, and also giving them ten Hédào Wǔchóng Skeleton Defenses.

Then he let Hou Yunfeng, Qi Yue, and Qi Heng take the vanguard, suppressing the opponent's strongest Cultivation Realm strongmen.

Hou Yunfeng immediately hurled a punch, flipping all their Cultivation Realm strongmen; only one evil creature used spatial teleportation to escape the punch's area.

Qi Yue's spear thrust and Qi Heng's sword slash could only strike the other evil creatures behind.

"Lei Ming!"

Ye Liuyun called out to Lei Ming, telling her to capture the prisoners; he used spatial teleportation to surge into the void, pursuing the fleeing evil creature.

The creature was merely evading Hou Yunfeng's frontal punch, not truly fleeing.

At that moment it tried to surge from the void to ambush Hou Yunfeng, but Ye Liuyun, wielding twin blades, blocked it.

Ye Liuyun, upon meeting it, alternated twin‑blade slashes without giving it a chance to breathe, delivering more than ten cuts, and was about to force it out of the void.

The Martial Cultivator, seeing it could not approach Ye Liuyun, immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, releasing its Soul into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

It thought Ye Liuyun's realm was low and tried to break his blade intent with this method, but instead hit the mark; ultimately Ye Liuyun placed a Slave Seal on it, making it a captive.

Ye Liuyun collected it into the Cave Heaven World, fitted it with armor, and let it wait for another chance to act.

Then he also burst out of the void, returned to the battlefield, and led the group in continued slaughter.

Lei Ming successfully gathered several injured Cultivation Realm evil creatures into Zhenmo Tower, then released the subdued creatures.

However, the subdued evil creatures were all fitted with armor, preventing the enemy from recognizing their identities and making it easy for their own side to identify them, avoiding friendly fire.

On Ye Liuyun's side, with these Cultivation Realm strongmen, the evil creatures are certainly no match, so they immediately employed Spiritual Soul Attacks again.

But this time they suffered a heavy loss; even after breaching the formation at the entrance of everyone's Sea of Consciousness, they were again trapped by internal formations and killed one by one.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun's group's combat was unaffected, continuing to kill without pause.

Long Nv swept with a single staff, instantly blasting dozens of late‑stage Dòngtiān Jìngjiè evil creatures.

Lei Ming's hammer strike, bearing thunder power, could annihilate an area.

The Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon, with all nine heads attacking together, could kill at least nine evil creatures at once.

The Sealing Demon Tablet could in an instant suppress dozens of evil creatures, drawing them into dry corpses.
