Chapter 886: Crisis After Crisis

Ye Liuyun also took them to another world, letting them experience it as well.

After the two of them went, they both felt strange.

They used Divine Sense to scan in that world, but likewise could not detect this side.

But Ye Liuyun was different. Under Golden Pupil mode, he cannot activate Divine Sense scanning, otherwise he would return to the other side's world.

On the other side, if he activates Golden Pupil, he will return to this world.

"These two worlds seem like one is filled entirely with beautiful things, while this one concentrates all the darkness."

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil has already detected a horde of Yin Souls charging toward them.

These Yin Souls, like a mass of Black Fog, are countless and densely packed.

Ye Liuyun immediately produced a Hundred-Refined Soul Banner and began absorbing.

He used the Soul Banner to absorb for nearly half an hour before the wave of Yin Souls was completely absorbed.

Just as he set the Soul Banner down, a group of Corpse Demons rushed in again.

He immediately drew the Demon Slaying Sword, donned the morphing divine armor, released a Skeleton Puppet, and charged forward together with the Ice Demon Tiger.

As for the Ghost Butterfly, Spiritual Soul Attack has little effect on these Corpse Demons, so Ye Liuyun assigned it only to monitor danger, using it as his own Divine Sense detector.

He has a Master-Servant Contract with the Ghost Butterfly, and its information can sync with his.

"No wonder they say this place is dangerous! Without Golden Pupil, you can't even see this world, let alone fend off the attacks of Yin Ghosts and demons."

Ye Liuyun now finally understands why this place is said to be extremely dangerous.

He swings the Demon Slaying Sword with one hand while repeatedly executing the third form of the Qiankun Palm with the other, mastering Qiankun and converting its magic into Buddha Light Power. Each palm strike can kill a swath of Corpse Demons.

After eradicating all those Corpse Demons, Ye Liuyun's True Essence was nearly depleted.

The Ice Demon Tiger immediately returned to the Xuan Kong Shi, devouring the Yuan Pills of those Corpse Demons to restore True Essence.

However, the attacks against them did not cease.

A large batch of Skeletons, clad in armor and wielding weapons, burst from the ground and attacked them again.

"Spiritual Soul Attack!" Ye Liuyun called to the Ghost Butterfly, and began launching Spiritual Soul Attacks together with it.

At the same time, he produced another Hundred-Refined Soul Banner to absorb the Yin Souls within those Skeleton Soldiers.

Then came a continuous barrage of Demon Beasts, Corpse Demons, Yin Souls, and other attacks.

Ye Liuyun and his companions could not rest for a moment.

He now has to swallow a Return Yuan Pill to restore True Essence.

After another wave of Yin Ghost and demon attacks, this time the assailants were even more terrifying: a swarm of poisonous spiders the size of fingernails, crawling densely across the ground toward them.

The sheer density makes one's scalp tingle just to watch.

Just as they were about to take to the air, another mass of Black Fog drifted in from the sky.

The Black Fog was formed by a flock of blood‑sucking black bats.

Ye Liuyun immediately decided to withdraw the Ice Demon Tiger and the Skeleton Puppet, then unleashed Golden Crow Holy Fire, enveloping himself and the Ghost Butterfly, and surged forward at full speed.

"Our progress is too slow. Let's hurry to the center of the Secret Realm; perhaps there's a safe spot there, or a way to destroy this Secret Realm."

Ye Liuyun had the Ghost Butterfly scout ahead while he handled defense.

The frustrating part is that the void here is impenetrable to Ye Liuyun, so he can only sprint within this space.

Gradually, the pursuers were no longer just poisonous spiders and black bats. Yin Souls, Corpse Demons, Demon Beasts also joined the chase, forming a massive pursuing army that ran madly after Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun and his group fled until the Ghost Butterfly's Divine Sense detected a temple, offering a glimmer of hope. Yet the temple was still tens of thousands of li away.

Ye Liuyun's flames were nearly unable to sustain.

At that moment, the demons intensified their assault on Ye Liuyun's flame shield, as if to block their escape toward the temple.

Ye Liuyun invoked Buddha Light Power to augment the flames, which also proved effective in holding them off for a while.

Seizing the remaining flame power, Ye Liuyun surged forward another ten thousand li.

"Ice Demon Tiger, use your icy power to shield us," Ye Liuyun summoned the Ice Demon Tiger.

The Ice Demon Tiger had just recovered half of its True Essence, but it could still hold a shield for a while.

Ye Liuyun immediately swallowed his last two Return Yuan Pills.

Since entering this Secret Realm, less than two days have passed, and he has already exhausted all the Return Yuan Pills he carried.

If he continues to consume at this rate, he won't be able to hold on.

Although this trip yielded many herbs and resources such as Demon Beast and Corpse Demon Yuan Pills and Souls, they are still far from meeting his goal.

"Now we see whether the temple can withstand these evil creatures' attacks. If not, I'll have to crush the Token and teleport back early!"

Ye Liuyun thought this silently, while his feet kept accelerating.

"These foes' attacks are too fierce!" Before they could run far, the Ice Demon Tiger began to falter.

Among the pursuing demons were late‑stage Zao Hua Realm cultivators, whose impact was considerable; each minute, the pressure on the Ice Demon Tiger's shield was great.

"Consume all your True Essence, no need to conserve. Give me a little more time, and I can recover a bit more," Ye Liuyun instructed the Ice Demon Tiger.

"Alright, I'll do my best!" the Ice Demon Tiger persisted as much as possible.

After running for a while longer, the Ice Demon Tiger finally could not hold on.

Ye Liuyun's True Essence had also recovered half, and the temple was now within sight.

Ye Liuyun raised his shield one last time, withdrew the Ice Demon Tiger, and made a final sprint into the temple doorway.

At the same time, he tightly grasped the Teleportation Token in his hand.

If the temple cannot block these demons, he will have to crush the Token.

Fortunately, when the demons reached the temple entrance, they immediately turned away, flying to both sides. None rushed into the temple.

Ye Liuyun exhaled in relief, yet his grip on the Token tightened.

He does not know what dangers lie within the temple this time, so he cannot be careless.

He immediately released the ghost butterfly to help probe the situation inside the temple.

"There are no living beings in the temple; the Grand Hall holds a desiccated corpse!" After the ghost butterfly probed the area with its Divine Sense, it relayed the information to Ye Liuyun.

"Let's go, go check out that desiccated corpse!" Ye Liuyun took the ghost butterfly and rushed straight to the Grand Hall, wanting to see if he could find any clues from the corpse.

As he walked, he used his Golden Pupil to survey the interior of the temple. He discovered that the temple interior was very tranquil, the environment starkly different from outside. Surprisingly, there were several large trees growing in the courtyard, their branches lush and leaves abundant.
