Chapter 577: Sharpening the Sword Before Battle

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then asked Qing Lin: "Do you want to use Xue Er's inheritance as a reason, letting me guard this Secret Realm for you? I need to first confirm that she is indeed undergoing inheritance."

Qing Lin, although doesn't want to be used as a cannon, doesn't mind doing something for Xue Er.

But he first needs to confirm whether Liang Xue is really undergoing inheritance.

Qing Lin heard this, and did not respond, but shifted his focus back onto the two combatants.

Qing Lin simply said calmly: "Very soon you'll see her. Before you see her, just hold back. Let them fight! However you also need to be ready to deal with them, after all it won't harm you. Once you meet Xue Er, they'll also locate the core of the Secret Realm."

Ye Liuyun heard this and began to scheme in his heart.

This problem is truly tricky!

The two people before him are not opponents. There's also a Yin Yang Triple Martial Cultivator from the Ice and Fire Sect!

As for these three, besides letting them kill each other, Ye Liuyun really has no way to deal with them.

"I need time to elevate my realm," Ye Liuyun transmitted a voice to Qing Lin.

"Sharpening the sword before battle?" Qing Lin sneered lightly, not even glancing at him.

"A bit stronger, that's all!" Ye Liuyun also knew it wouldn't help much.

Even if he breaks through to Heavenly Gang Nine Layers, he's still no match for these people. Unless he can break through to Yin Yang Yi Chong.

But he can't just sit and wait for death. His nature has always been like this; no matter how difficult, he won't give up easily.

Qing Lin replied: "Then go into the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate; I'll guard the Xuan Kong Shi. But I can only buy you one day; after a day, they'll also reach the core of the Secret Realm."

"Fine." Ye Liuyun said, and took out the Xuan Kong Shi to enter.

"Wait, take these too!" Qing Lin called him back, and spat out two True Essence Fruits from his mouth.

"You can eat something and then spit it out?" Ye Liuyun felt a bit disgusted, and didn't reach out to catch them.

"What are you thinking? I have a storage space inside me. Do you think I eat it into my belly and then spit it out!"

Qing Lin rolled his eyes at him and directly tossed those two True Essence Fruits to Ye Liuyun.

Only then did Ye Liuyun understand that Qing Lin indeed has a storage space inside his body. No wonder he swallows everything into his belly.

"Then thank you!"

Saying that, he collected the True Essence Fruits and directly entered the Xuan Kong Shi.

Meanwhile, Qing Lin grabbed the Xuan Kong Shi and swallowed it again.

In the ongoing battle, Xiao Mingyue's Divine Sense was also observing Ye Liuyun, seeing Ye Liuyun hide in the storage space and be swallowed by Qing Lin.

She had thought Ye Liuyun was timid, fearing being caught up, and thus hid.

"That's perfect, no one dragging me down. Whether fighting or fleeing, I have no reservations now."

Thinking this, she summoned Qing Lin onto her shoulder, feeling more at ease as she fought the Star Sword Demon Emperor.

Far away, disciples of the Night Demon Sect also came over, surrounding Xiao Mingyue.

They also saw with their own eyes Ye Liuyun enter the storage space to hide, then be swallowed by Qing Lin.

Their thoughts were the same as Xiao Mingyue's, believing Ye Liuyun was only temporarily evading danger. Because at present, the Night Demon Sect clearly held the advantage. If they all attacked Xiao Mingyue together, she truly couldn't hold them off.

However, the Star Sword Demon Emperor said nothing, so they dared not act. If they angered the Star Sword Demon Emperor, they'd be doomed.

So they only surrounded her, without daring to strike.

The Star Sword Demon Emperor at this moment was also enjoying the fight with Xiao Mingyue, not wanting them to intervene.

Any master seeks to battle a master, and each has their own principles and convictions.

He rarely meets an opponent like Xiao Mingyue, so he doesn't want to miss this combat opportunity.

Xiao Mingyue felt the same; meeting such an opponent, she didn't want to leave immediately, still wanting to compare strengths with the Star Sword Demon Emperor.

At this moment, her Moonlight Power was being used to its fullest. Illusions, corrosion and various skills merged into her attacks, fully striking at the Star Sword Demon Emperor.

And the Star Sword Demon Emperor's sword intent perfectly fused with his own Demon Qi; each attack also required Xiao Mingyue to exert full resistance.

Their battle caused great disturbance; the whole area bore the marks of their fight. Mountains, rivers, trees were all destroyed. The void was blasted with countless huge holes.

The old holes hadn't recovered yet, and new holes were blown open by the aftershocks of True Essence collisions.

Surrounded by Night Demon Sect disciples, the Star Sword Demon Emperor fought recklessly; both exhausted greatly, yet still no decisive victor.

During their fight, Ye Liuyun inside the Xuan Kong Shi had already refined all four True Essence Fruits. All Spirit Stones, Fierce Beast Core Pills were placed around him, allowing him to absorb them freely.

The Xuan Kong Shi also connected with the outside air, drawing in the wild wilderness aura as much as possible for his cultivation.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun's realm had risen to the peak of Heavenly Gang Eight Layers, on the verge of breakthrough.

He only felt the True Essence in his body rushing wildly toward his tendons and meridians.

"Breakthrough begins!" Ye Liuyun silently reminded himself to control and guide the True Essence.

Yet even so, some tiny meridians, if he couldn't tend to them, would be instantly shattered, requiring him to repair them himself.

Under this True Essence onslaught, the meridians widened again by a factor of two. The widened tendons were initially fragile, but through his continual recovery and strengthening, they gradually became more resilient.

Until the True Essence surged through the meridians without causing damage. At this point, the True Essence began to gradually return to the Core Pill.

The True Essence inside the Core Pill now emitted a brilliant golden light, shining brightly.

His current True Essence Quality, besides having doubled after breakthrough, also became higher because it incorporated abundant wild wilderness qi.

The condensation level of his True Essence now rivals that of a Yin Yang Yi Chong Martial Cultivator.

However, this only shows he can contend with a Yin Yang Yi Chong Martial Cultivator. After all, he hasn't broken through to Yin Yang Yi Chong yet, so his strength still can't surpass a Yin Yang Triple Martial Cultivator.

The surface of his Core Pill also began to faintly show two colors. One golden‑red, the other blue‑white, the hues of his two internal flames. Though these colors were subtle, Ye Liuyun keenly sensed the change in the Core Pill.

"It seems that upon reaching the Yin Yang realm, the Core Pill naturally changes."

Ye Liuyun cultivated while observing his own changes.

After the realm breakthrough, besides the True Essence's transformation, bloodline, Physical Body, and Soul also received corresponding enhancements.
