Chapter 639: A Demon

"Are you satisfied with the cultivation resources sufficient for you to break through to the Zaohua Realm?"

Yao Qinglian is still maneuvering with him and hasn't rushed to act.

"Not good, she's buying time to restore her Bloodline Power and True Essence! No wonder the three great Sects sent her in."

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil discovered that her Bloodline Power and True Essence were both recovering rapidly.

The reason the three great Sects sent Yao Qinglian in was that the Secret Realm's wild qi is dense while spiritual energy is thin, which is unfavorable for their disciples' quick recovery.

And Yao Qinglian happens to possess a special Bloodline that, even without spiritual energy, can help herself or others quickly restore True Essence.

Once Ye Liuyun discovered this, he immediately ordered the Beast King to launch an attack on Yao Qinglian.

He is also helpless against Elder Qinglian.

This Elder's cultivation level is already high, and with her special Bloodline, if she doesn't need to tend to others and only focuses on her own recovery, the speed of True Essence restoration is extremely fast—equivalent to an inexhaustible supply of True Essence.

Therefore Ye Liuyun can only have other ferocious beasts continuously consume her, at least preventing her True Essence from reaching its peak state.

When Ye Liuyun makes a move, Yao Qinglian realizes that her stalling tactic is ineffective.

In fact, she had already sensed it when Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw through her internal condition.

Now she is even more certain that Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil has X‑ray ability. In other words, Ye Liuyun had already seen them through the Secret Realm before.

"Charge!"

Yao Qinglian makes an instant decision and immediately launches an offensive.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil and Divine Sense are both concentrating fully on observing Yao Qinglian's movements.

A powerful Spatial Power surges around her.

"Huh? Applying Spatial Power to oneself?" Ye Liuyun is quite curious about her method.

Yao Qinglian's figure becomes ethereal. She actually appropriates the Fifth Layer of Void onto herself, then with a casual stride, she rushes straight through the Formation Flag's barrier.

Qiong Qi's Formation Flag left for Ye Liuyun can also seal the Fifth Layer of Void, but within this layer, the flame power is much weaker.

Yao Qinglian forcefully breaks through the fire wall and immediately uses her Bloodline Power to quickly heal her wounds.

When she appears again, her injuries are already about seventy to eighty percent healed.

"Clearly, her Spatial Power is still insufficient to keep her in the Fifth Layer for long. In other words, her Spatial Power isn't as strong as mine, yet she wields it more effortlessly than I do."

Ye Liuyun silently evaluates Yao Qinglian's Spatial Power in his mind.

At this moment, Yao Qinglian directly slaps a palm toward Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun knows she is not his opponent, so he flings the Mourning Bell outward, covering Yao Qinglian.

At the same time, he also follows Yao Qinglian's earlier method, applying the Fifth Layer Spatial Power directly onto himself.

Consequently, his figure also becomes ethereal.

Yao Qinglian's strike cannot hit the Fifth Layer of Void, so Ye Liuyun completely evades it.

"Huh?" Yao Qinglian didn't expect Ye Liuyun to use exactly the same technique as hers.

"His Spatial Power seems stronger than mine! Get out quickly!"

Although Yao Qinglian has an advantage in cultivation level, Ye Liuyun possesses a divine artifact, so she dares not clash head‑on with the Mourning Bell.

Thus she turns and leaves without hesitation.

"Elder!" Xiao Mingyue and that male disciple both let out a desperate cry.

They have realized that Yao Qinglian is about to abandon them.

But Lei Ming had already prepared.

"Attack!" As Ye Liuyun throws the Mourning Bell, he also sends a Transmission Voice to Lei Ming.

So as soon as Yao Qinglian turns, Lei Ming's Demon Tower also crashes toward her.

"Not good!" Yao Qinglian mutters, immediately using that same technique again, trying to evade the artifact's attack.

"Hoo!"

Qing Lin, cooperating with Lei Ming, unleashes a burst of blue fire directly at the Spatial Power enveloping Yao Qinglian.

Qing Lin's Spatial Power is by no means weaker than Ye Liuyun's. Their first encounter with Ye Liuyun was in the Void.

Its blue fire can actually burn the Void, directly scorching Yao Qinglian out of the Void.

Yao Qinglian has no time to swat the burning blue fire on her body and hurriedly sidesteps to dodge the Demon Tower's barrage.

But this time, she fails to evade Ye Liuyun's controlled Mourning Bell.

Ye Liuyun's Mourning Bell can be controlled with Divine Sense, allowing its direction to be adjusted at any moment.

Under the combined attack of Lei Ming and Qing Lin, Yao Qinglian is forced to dodge hastily, which is why she couldn't evade the Mourning Bell.

"Elder Yao!" Xiao Mingyue can't help shouting.

Although Yao Qinglian just now wanted to abandon them and flee alone, she can also understand Yao Qinglian's actions.

And as long as Yao Qinglian escapes, they still have hope of being rescued.

But now, with Yao Qinglian enveloped by the artifact, it means they are completely hopeless.

If Ye Liuyun gives a single order, the ferocious beasts outside the Formation can tear them to pieces.

She never imagined that an Elder as powerful as Yao Qinglian would have no chance to flee before Ye Liuyun.

"This Ye Liuyun is truly terrifying! He can even scheme against an Elder of Yin Yang Liu Chong!"

Xiao Mingyue now feels deep fear toward Ye Liuyun's strength and mind.

She even doubts whether Ye Liuyun is concealing his cultivation level.

Because the last time she saw Ye Liuyun, he was at the Heavenly Gang Realm, yet the aura he just displayed is of the Yin Yang Two Levels.

In just half a year, his cultivation level advanced by two more Levels. This simply defies normal logic.

Thus, as she watches Ye Liuyun now, she finds him increasingly inscrutable and more frightening.

"This Golden Pupil youth looks unruffled, but in reality, he is a Demon!" she concludes in her heart. "He can't be beaten in a fight, he toys with schemes, and he's certainly not a match for him."

She has already decided to face death calmly, and only hopes Ye Liuyun can give her a decent way to die.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun is not paying any attention to her; instead, using Divine Sense, he watches Yao Qinglian's condition inside the Mourning Bell.

Seeing that Yao Qinglian carefully does not attack the Mourning Bell, he instead relaxes.

He is very interested in Yao Qinglian's Spatial Power. He wants to use Soul Search to obtain her technique concerning spatial power, so he does not want her Soul to be shattered and absorbed by the Mourning Bell.

He takes out an ordinary weapon and throws it at the Mourning Bell. It is a too powerful sacred artifact; he fears it would strike too loudly and instantly kill Yao Qinglian by shock.

He cannot smash this Mourning Bell himself. If he smashes it, he might summon the Underworld God from Hell.

Whether the Underworld God will kill him, he is uncertain. After all, the Underworld God also knows the Ten Thousand Gods Command.

But one thing he can be sure of is that the Underworld God will definitely seize the Mourning Bell.
