Chapter 877

Ye Liuyun sees that neither of them wants to leave, so he brings the two of them to an empty valley and starts setting up a formation.

Ye Liuyun appears, and the term Formation (from the glossary) should be included.

Qiong Qi's formation flag is finally put to use.

Qiong Qi appears, and the term Formation Flag (from the glossary) should be included.

Ye Liuyun arranged all 108 formation flags, creating a large formation that envelops the whole valley.

- Ye Liuyun, Formation Flag, Formation.

Seeing the formation flags, the Ninth Princess shows little reaction, likely because she isn't familiar with formations.

The Ninth Princess appears, and the terms Formation Flag and Formation (from the glossary) should be included.

Li Qingyun exclaimed, "Hey, these formation flags are pretty good! Where did you get them?"

Li Qingyun appears, and the term Formation Flag (from the glossary) should be included.

"I bought it at an auction!" Ye Liuyun said casually. He didn't want others to know too much about him.

- Ye Liuyun appears.

After arranging the formation flags, Ye Liuyun released a skeleton puppet to aid him in battle.

A formation flag appears, together with a skeleton puppet and Ye Liuyun.

"Your puppet actually wields two divine swords?" the Ninth Princess exclaimed, "That's far too extravagant!"

The term 'puppet' corresponds to Kuailei (from the glossary). The Ninth Princess appears. The phrase 'divine sword' is generic and not included.

Although she possesses plenty of divine artifacts and has seen many, it's rare to see someone equip a puppet with two divine artifacts.

The Ninth Princess appears, and the term puppet corresponds to Kuailei (from the glossary).

"Where is your fierce beast? Why don't you bring it out?" Li Qingyun asked.

Li Qingyun appears. The term 'fierce beast' is generic and not in the glossary.

"The fierce beast will join the fight at a critical moment!" Ye Liuyun said, then activated the formation.

Ye Liuyun appears, and the term formation corresponds to Formation (from the glossary).

Upon activation, the formation instantly created an illusion array that concealed the skeleton puppet, Li Qingyun, and Xia Tianqiong inside; from the outside, none of them could be seen.

The term illusion array corresponds to Illusion Array (glossary), skeleton puppet to Skeleton Puppet, Li Qingyun appears, Xia Tianqiong appears, and formation corresponds to Formation (glossary). Ye Liuyun is not mentioned but implied.

Ye Liuyun also put on a divine artifact transforming armor, then completely removed the Buddha Light Power's concealment of the Nether Curse, letting the Nether Curse point the way for the opponent.

Ye Liuyun appears, and the terms Buddha Light Power and Nether Curse correspond to their glossary entries.

Inside Shura's Nether Ghost Ship, at this moment Liao Ya was piloting the warship.

"Finally caught up!" Liao Ya suddenly felt the clear summons of the Nether Curse and let out a long sigh.

They had been pursuing for more than half a year, and at last caught up with Ye Liuyun.

"The tedious voyage is finally ending!" Liao Ya took a deep breath and reported to Shura.

"Sir, the Nether Curse's response is clear; the target is only a day's distance from us. In the past month, he has stopped moving."

After Shura awoke, he first sensed the distance of the Nether Curse and found it indeed was very close.

"Understood. Everyone, prepare for battle!" Shura replied, and also halted his cultivation.

She still remembered the Underworld God's instructions and dared not be careless against Ye Liuyun.

All the Skeleton Soldiers on the Nether Ghost Ship were awakened and stood ready in strict formation.

These Skeleton Soldiers, having a skeletal physical body in addition to a mere Yin Soul, are harder to deal with.

Moreover, the lowest realm among these Skeleton Soldiers is the Seventh Layer of Yin and Yang, so the entire skeleton army possesses very strong combat power.

Long before the Nether Ghost Ship landed, the Daxia Chao had already taken notice of it and even dispatched strong warriors to intercept it.

Upon learning that they were merely after a common person marked with the Nether Curse, they allowed them to enter.

They also made a three‑clause pact with Shura, forbidding them to act arbitrarily, requiring them to stay at least ten thousand meters above the ground while sailing, and prohibiting the release of oppressive pressure…

Otherwise, the Daxia Chao would never have allowed the Nether Ghost Ship into its territory.

The skeleton army's strength is indeed formidable. However, on Zhongyang Dalu there are many Martial Cultivators stronger than Shura, so they must also abide by Zhongyang Dalu's agreement.

The Nether Ghost Ship has now activated its Formation, gathering all the Yin Soul essences inside the warship to prevent them from dispersing and disturbing the civilians along the way.

"How much longer until they arrive?" After waiting several hours, Li Qingyun grew a bit impatient.

"Less than a day. If the two of you can't wait, you may go ahead!" Ye Liuyun hadn't originally included the two of them in his plan.

"You focus on your own fight; you don't need to consider us! As long as you're not in mortal danger, we won't intervene!" Li Qingyun said casually.

"Indeed!" Xia Tianqiong added.

Ye Liuyun nodded and didn't pay much attention to their attitude.

At this moment, he was repeatedly rehearsing possible scenarios for the upcoming battle, contemplating solutions.

The ghost butterfly and ice demon tiger stored in the Storage Ring were also ready for combat.

Since attaining the Life‑Death Realm and becoming a Respecter, these two fierce beasts have fought a Respecter for the first time, and that opponent was Shura, the strongest war general of the Nether Hell.

They had already trained together many times in Ye Liuyun's Space World, becoming familiar with each other's dual Life‑Death Realm powers.

When the Nether Ghost Ship appeared in Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil vision, he had long since prepared for battle.

"It's here!" Ye Liuyun warned Li Qingyun and Xia Tianqiong.

Moving at Super Warship speed, their Divine Senses quickly detected the Nether Ghost Ship.

"The skeleton at the ship's bow is quite imposing! It's my first time dealing with someone from the Nether Hell!" Li Qingyun exclaimed.

Upon detecting Ye Liuyun, the Nether Ghost Ship also opened its Formation, releasing its Nether Hell's malevolent aura to intimidate Ye Liuyun.

The aura gave Li Qingyun and Xia Tianqiong a bone‑chilling cold, causing them to break out in a cold sweat for Ye Liuyun.

They claimed they wouldn't help, yet in reality they were all prepared for battle.

Ye Liuyun, however, didn't wait for Li Qingyun to finish his praise and swung the Demon Slaying Sword in a single slash.

"Whoa! You even took the initiative to strike?" Li Qingyun was startled by Ye Liuyun's sudden slash.

He and Xia Tianqiong hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to actually dare to be the first to act against the Nether Hell.

The Demon Slaying Sword, infused by Ye Liuyun with a True Essence from a Yuan Dan, materialized in the air as a hundred‑zhang-long great blade and cleaved straight toward the blood‑colored skeleton at the ship's bow.

After unleashing that slash, he immediately swallowed the hidden Hui Yuan Dan he had held in his mouth.

"This Ye Liuyun, his nerve is truly remarkable, daring to attack us on his own!"

Liao Ya, after feeling the sword intent and True Essence in Ye Liuyun's slash, felt considerably more at ease.

Ye Liuyun's sword intent is strong, but the True Essence is truly at the Seventh Layer of Yin and Yang.

This slash can be withstood by the Nether Ghost Ship without it needing to raise its defenses.

"Boom!"

The Nether Warship, struck by this slash, clearly halted, yet sustained little damage.

However, the blood‑colored skeleton at the bow was directly split open by Ye Liuyun's slash.

Ye Liuyun's slash employed Buddha Light Power and Nether Ghost Fire. To be precise, the blood‑colored skeleton at the bow was cut open by Buddha Light Power and Nether Ghost Fire.

Shura frowned and ordered, "Cease the warship combat and retract the warship."

She was worried that Ye Liuyun would destroy the Warship. If they return, it will be more trouble.

Thus they immediately took all the Skeleton Soldiers out of the Warship, formed up. The Warship was also taken away by the fangs.
