Chapter 642: Tang Yao Personally Arrives

Ye Liuyun is not in a hurry, taking it step by step.

If there's time, go ahead and push it forward; there's no downside to it.

The first step in establishing a Space World is to carve out a vacant area within real space using higher‑level spatial energy, then insert an energy source to sustain that space.

This step is not difficult for Ye Liuyun.

He easily creates a tiny space, draws the wild qi of the outside world into it, and piles Spirit Stones inside as the energy source.

Ye Liuyun feels quite gratified by this.

He finally built his own Secret Realm!

It's a bit small and a bit empty, but at least it's a start!

For now this tiny space lacks many energy‑draining things, so a heap of Spirit Stones will last him a long time. The rest can be expanded later when he has time.

With a strong enemy looming, he still needs to focus on confronting the foe.

Thus, he resumes familiarizing himself with various Spatial Powers, repeatedly practicing until it becomes more effortless.

Only when he has spare time does he study the Sky‑Piercing Palm and refine his own Bà Tiān Divine Fist.

While Ye Liuyun and the others are busy cultivating, outside the Secret Realm Tang Yao and the Grand Elders of the Three Sects are not idle.

After a bout of arguing, they finally reach agreement.

Tang Yao can personally retrieve Ye Liuyun's group's items, but thirty percent goes to the Three Sects, and the rest belongs to Tang Yao.

Once the agreement is reached, Tang Yao begins rearranging the Formation, preparing to enter the Secret Realm himself.

Confident in his own strength, the passage he opens this time can only accommodate his solo round‑trip.

The fewer people that pass through the passage, the more room there is for a strong cultivator to enter.

Even for someone of his high realm, entering the Secret Realm is no small challenge. Yet for the treasure, he exerts all his effort to carve a new passage.

Inside the Secret Realm, Qing Lin immediately notices a new black hole intrusion, rushes to investigate, and upon realizing he can't handle it, promptly informs Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun now dares not be careless, knowing any newcomers will surely be stronger, possibly Tang Yao or a strong figure from the Three Sects.

After scrutinizing the black hole, he tells Qing Lin: "Gather the Stone Giant and the fierce beasts, have them assault the black hole's Guardian Formation. If anyone emerges, let them attack with full force!"

This black hole's Guardian Formation is stronger than the last, so he doesn't even test it, directly letting the other fierce beasts engage gradually.

Then he summons the fierce beasts under his control, having them jointly launch a strong assault on the Formation.

After Qing Lin gathers the Stone Giant and the fierce beasts, he begins gesturing against Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun doesn't understand why, even though it can speak and even transmit voice with Divine Sense, it still loves to gesture.

Qing Lin is asking whether gathering the Stone Giant and the fierce beasts can block this invader.

"Can't block it! Let's all prepare to fight! If we can't block it this time, the Secret Realm won't hold either!"

Ye Liuyun replies outright.

Qing Lin continues gesturing, urging him to bring out the Skeleton Puppet.

"When the time comes, I'll let the Skeleton Puppet join the battle. However, this time I'm afraid even the Skeleton Puppet can't block it!" Ye Liuyun answers briefly again.

Hearing that, Qing Lin is also stunned on the spot.

That means the Secret Realm can't be defended!

"Go back; staying here won't help!"

After saying that, Ye Liuyun turns and walks toward the Cave.

Qing Lin silently follows Ye Liuyun back, sighing continuously.

After returning, Ye Liuyun first stores everyone into the Storage Ring, letting them go in to cultivate, lest he run out of time to retrieve them later.

"There's still a day or two left; you can interrupt Xue Er's inheritance then. Prepare the teleport first. If we can't hold, will you leave this Secret Realm with us?"

Ye Liuyun also worries that Qing Lin might not leave with them and become a slave of the Three Sects.

Qing Lin thinks for a while, then reluctantly nods.

"Then get ready. I'll do my best to fight for it. If we truly can't win, there's nothing we can do."

Ye Liuyun finishes and closes his eyes in silence.

In his mind, thoughts race, weighing all possible scenarios.

When someone enters, he'll fight alongside the Skeleton Puppet. Even if outmatched, with his current Spatial Power, escaping back to the Cave shouldn't be difficult.

"If the opponent also has divine artifacts, the Mourning Bell isn't much use. The Sealing Demon Tablet is 100% effective against the Demon Race, but for ordinary Martial Cultivators it depends on its mood, so it's unreliable. I also have a Hunting Demon Bow that can deliver a fatal strike at a crucial moment…"

Ye Liuyun continuously simulates possible events, pondering countermeasures.

About a day passes, and Qing Lin, who had been lying beside Ye Liuyun, suddenly looks up toward the cave entrance.

"Is it coming that soon?"

Ye Liuyun pats Qing Lin's head, telling him to relax, then immediately gets up and leaves the Cave.

He doesn't want to draw the battlefield here, so he heads straight to another direction far from the black hole.

At the same time, he releases the Skeleton Puppet, draws the Demon Slaying Sword, and readies for battle.

Outside the Secret Realm, Tang Yao confidently tells the Three Sects' Elders: "In three days this passage will allow you to send a strong cultivator from the later stage of the Yin‑Yang Realm; discuss among yourselves."

Having said that, he pulls on a garment, turns, and steps into the black hole.

After Tang Yao leaves, an Icefire Sect Elder asks, "Is what he said reliable?"

A San Yuan Sect Elder replies, "Given his realm, if he acts personally, he should be able to handle Ye Liuyun!"

"Who can be sure! This guy even guaranteed the last Formation was fine, yet we lost so many disciples. Anyway, I won't go in directly!"

The Night Demon Sect Elder has little impression of the arrogant Tang Yao. Even if he wants to go in, he decides to let others try first.

After Tang Yao enters the black hole, before he reaches the Secret Realm, his aura already radiates outward from the black hole.

The Yin Yang Eightfold aura intimidates the surrounding fierce beasts, forcing them to retreat. A powerhouse of this caliber cannot be overcome merely by sheer numbers.

Only the Stone Giant, lacking spirit intelligence and Soul, unaware of fear, remains standing in place.

Its surroundings were already filled with stones of various sizes, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

As Tang Yao approached, the pressure he released grew stronger and stronger. Some ferocious beasts couldn't withstand it, turning and fleeing in fear.

Ye Liuyun didn't try to stop them, after all, it was just the beasts' instinct.

Moreover, even when they know they cannot win, those ferocious beasts do not always obey the Beast King's commands; they won't be so foolish as to blindly go to their deaths.
