Chapter 3910: Bloom at the Core

"Of course, your Cave Heaven World is also within this world's bounds, right? It's her own territory—where can't she go!" The Book Demon took the opportunity to sneer at him again.

……

Ye Liuyun has become accustomed to the Book Demon's disdain and doesn't argue with him; after all, his own experience is limited, so he can only keep his head down and continue cultivating.

He now needs to refine energy himself, so he requires more cultivation time.

His clone outside is piloting a Flying Boat with a Metal Puppet, also racing against time.

The ancient Evil Clan will surely keep sending strong ones, not letting them continue to cause trouble. They aim to drive away several evil creatures on the Xing Xi before the opponent's strong ones arrive.

Sun Que, a first‑rank artificer, is currently developing a new Flying Boat. The previous Flying Boat's speed could no longer meet their needs, not even as fast as the clone's spatial teleportation speed across the Xingkong.

In less than a month, the clone's Golden Pupil has already sighted the target Xing Xi.

At the same time, he also spotted several winged evil creatures patrolling the Xingkong ahead.

"Abandon the Flying Boat; we'll use Spatial Power to capture a few winged evil creatures and learn their situation!"

Ye Liuyun finally halted his cultivation, ordered the clone to stow the Metal Puppet and Flying Boat, and the two of them used Spatial Power to approach those winged evil creatures from the void.

Because the two of them have mastered the complete Dao of Spatial Power, those Cave Heaven Realm winged factions didn't even notice them.

While flying, the two highest‑realm winged factions suddenly noticed two Azure Hawks appear beside them and immediately slashed at them with their scale‑covered wings, as sharp as knives.

Then, the two of them thrust their claws out and smashed the Azure Hawk's head.

But when they looked again, what their claws held turned out to be their own companions.

Before they could understand what was happening, the space around them was locked.

Ye Liuyun and his clone immediately acted with their Souls, planting a Slave Seal on the Souls of those two winged evil creatures.

The two only realized at this point that they had fallen for the opponent's illusion and mistakenly killed their own companions.

But it's too late now; the two have already become Ye Liuyun's slaves, their Souls have been searched. Everything they knew, the opponent also knows.

"They've already prepared defenses; the protective forces are gathered on the nearest Xingqiu," Ye Liuyun told his clone, pondering how to deal with those forces.

"Will you use Golden Crow Holy Fire for a sneak attack?" the clone thought that Ye Liuyun's flame assault would be the simplest.

"That would be easy, but it would consume all the resources!"

"But if we lure them away first and eliminate them one by one, it will take longer!"

"Let's use Skeleton Soldiers for a frontal assault, forcing them to send more troops here. Though this benefits the Demon Race, we should first deal with these evil creatures."

"Then we'll get closer first, then launch a sneak attack; let Lei Ming also capture a few Cultivation‑realm evil creatures, which will be useful when dealing with their strong ones later."

After a brief discussion, the two ordered everyone inside the Cave Heaven World to prepare for battle, then slipped into the void and rushed straight toward the opposing army's garrison.

The ancient Evil Clan leaves roughly the same number of defending strong ones on each Xing Xi: usually one or two Hédào Èrchóng and over ten Hédào Yīchóng strong ones.

Here, there are three Hédào Èrchóng strong ones and sixteen Hédào Yīchóng strong ones, the latter having arrived from distant Xing Xi as reinforcements.

For Ye Liuyun and his party, this is a boon; the more strong ones arrive, the better—they're all captives delivered to the door.

At the ancient Evil Clan's garrison, those strong ones gather together awaiting orders. Periodically they use Transmission Talismans to contact the evil creatures patrolling outside.

At this moment they have just discovered several winged evil creatures missing, and the area they patrol is exactly the direction Ye Liuyun's group is heading.

In an instant, all the evil strong ones grew anxious.

At that moment, a black stone tablet suddenly rose above their heads, pressing down and enveloping them all.

Simultaneously, countless vines sprouted from the ground, separating them from other evil creatures.

Lei Ming also manifested instantly, hurling the Zhenmo Tower, causing the evil creatures inside to surge out and pull the few Hédào Èrchóng evil creatures inward.

A Hédào Yīchóng red‑scaled evil creature immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on Lei Ming, but its Soul, upon rushing into Lei Ming's Sea of Consciousness, was devoured by a Black Token inside.

Another Hédào Yīchóng evil creature tried to escape with Spatial Power, but as soon as it activated, it was locked in place by a stronger Spatial Power, unable to move.

The evil beings around the garrison were also alarmed. Immediately several Three‑eyed evil creatures fired white light at the Magic Vine and the Sealing Demon Tablet, but their heads were instantly sliced off by blades Ye Liuyun and his clone projected from the void.

With the Sealing Demon Tablet's assistance, those Cultivation‑realm evil creatures could not launch attacks; each time they tried to invoke True Essence, it was siphoned away by the tablet.

Thus the three Hédào Èrchóng strong ones were the first to be drawn into the Zhenmo Tower, and the remaining Hédào Yīchóng evil creatures lost all will to resist.

The Sealing Demon Tablet performed well this time; after coordinating with Lei Ming, it went on to absorb energy on its own. The Magic Vine behaved similarly, releasing its devouring kill.

At this point Ye Liuyun also released Ye Jin Yuan and other Cultivation‑realm strong ones and Monster Beasts, as well as five thousand Hédào Yīchóng puppets, to slaughter outward from the ancient Evil Clan's garrison center.

Ye Jin Yuan this time faced a Martial Cultivator among the evil creatures, unleashing his strength to a greater extent.

But soon Ye Liuyun realized something was off: Ye Jin Yuan still couldn't use Spatial Power, and this weakness was spotted by the evil creatures. Several Spatial‑Power‑strong evil beings were besieging him.

He merely protected himself with blade intent and his realm, while absorbing the opponent's energy; otherwise he couldn't shield himself.

Ye Liuyun immediately acted, using Spatial Power to lock those evil creatures, allowing Ye Jin Yuan to strike them down. He then passed his insights and cultivation method of Spatial Power to Ye Jin Yuan.

He thought that with Ye Jin Yuan's comprehension, Spatial Power would soon improve.

Sure enough, after receiving his message, Ye Jin Yuan's speed quickly surged a great deal.

But that was all; he could not improve further, nor was he seen slipping into the void or using other Spatial Power.

"Maybe it's inconvenient to cultivate during combat!" Ye Liuyun didn't mind.

He only deliberately kept an eye on the situation there; if an overly strong Spatial Power evil creature attacked him, he would lend a hand.

The local garrison, lacking strong defenders and having been ambushed, was already overwhelmed by the combined effort of the Sealing Demon Tablet and Magic Vine.

The clone, together with Hou Yunfeng and others, coordinated with Monster Beasts to slay the later‑stage evil creatures of the Cave Heaven Realm.
