Chapter 1769: Chapter 1769 Demon Flower Seedling
Ye Liuyun beckoned, gathering the wolf’s carcass into the Spatial World, and immediately moved to the aid of Man Shu and Ye Tiandao.
Their defenses were on the brink of collapse as a Fire Wolf broke through between them.
But just as that happened, it was hacked back by a swift strike from Ye Liuyun.
Then, with Ye Liuyun at the lead, Man Shu and Ye Tiandao at his sides, they pressed forward into the valley.
Ye Liuyun employed his Spatial Force to hold the remaining wolves that tried to flee in place, followed by a few rapid slashes, exterminating the pack of Fire Wolves.
"Go and recover!" With the pack annihilated, Man Shu and Ye Tiandao were immediately drawn back by Ye Liuyun into the Xuankong Stone for recuperation.
The wolf corpses scattered across the ground were also gathered into the Spatial World by him, assigning the task of management to Lan Xin.
He moved onto absorbing the energy within the magma pool. After regaining some strength, Ye Liuyun dived right into the magma, absorbing and descending towards the bottom of the pool.
"Flame spiritual marrow!"
Before Ye Liuyun even sank to the bottom of the pool, his Golden Phantom Eyes spotted a flame Alora Crystal mineral vein at the base of the pool. The source of that vein was a strip of Flame spiritual marrow.
Flame spiritual marrow, formed from the long-term condensation of Flame Crystals essence, contains a much greater concentration of flame energy.
However, both the Flame spiritual marrow and Flame Crystal are not sentiment crystals but rather energy crystals and are meant for absorption.
"I’ll be taking this."
Uttered Ye Liuyun unapologetically. He reaped the entire mineral vein of the Flame Alora Crystals and didn’t even spare the common Flame Crystals.
Following that, he spent some time practicing in the magma pool, absorbing most of the remaining flame energy, only then did he leave the magma pool.
When he left, the lava pool had lost its fiery power and began to cool down.
However, his advance energy hadn’t been replenished fully, so the remaining had to be supplemented with the Storage Stone.
His clone, on the other hand, always fought single feral beast, which made it relatively easy. However, the resources they found were merely some precious medicinal herbs, which didn’t offer much gain.
They did the same, annihilating all the local martial practitioners without leaving a single one, seizing all the resources for themselves.
The clone’s group didn’t have Xuankong Stone or Devil Vine for protection, so their advancement speed wasn’t fast. Every time they finished a fight, they had to ensure the people recover to the optimal state before moving on.
The martial practitioners in the mid-path had the worst luck. Many of them were caught by the local forces, used as cannon fodder, and forced to fight fiercely with the feral beasts. After that, their wealth will be completely seized away.
However, there were many people in there, so some martial practitioner teams would be overlooked, avoiding a complete wipeout.
Ye Liuyun and his group continued forward. The area was now filled with third level feral beasts and they had to proceed with extreme caution.
Ye Liuyun, currently dealing with third level feral beasts, held an advantage with his Divine Soul power. His sword intention, the power of Heaven and Earth combined with his advance energy, and power of space barely managed to counterattack. His other powers seemed to be slightly weaker.
Nevertheless, he was quite delighted with his progress. At least he wasn’t helpless.
"Devil Qi?" While walking, Ye Liuyun suddenly stopped.
Their current area was filled with the formidable aura of feral beasts, suggesting that a Devil Beast must be in control of the territory.
However, no Devil Beast came to chase them away. Only after they continued for a while did Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense detect an early third level Infernal Fury Beast lying near the entrance of a cave, scanning around with its Divine Sense. It had probably not detected Ye Liuyun yet.
Inside the cave was a blooming Demon Flower.
Despite its name, the Demon Flower isn’t harmful for demon cultivators. Quite the opposite, its seeds are considered top-notch cultivation resources, being the concentration of demonic essence.
Ye Liuyun noticed that inside the petals of the Demon Flower were three seedpods that had not yet cracked open. He assumed that they must be nearing maturity, which was likely why the Infernal Fury Beast was unwilling to leave and chose to stay and guard them.
As Ye Liuyun and his companions advanced further, the Infernal Fury Beast took notice of them and repeatedly roared in warning, signaling them to keep their distance.
The beast took another glance at the Demon Flower, sniffed it, and licked its lips, but it did not eat it. It looked a bit anxious as it paced around the flower several times before settling back by the entrance of its lair.
Ye Liuyun’s heart eased a bit. His concern earlier was that the Infernal Fury Beast would hastily eat the flower out of anxiety.
"Since you won’t eat it, it’s mine now!"
Ye Liuyun thus quickened his pace and dashed towards the Infernal Fury Beast.
The Infernal Fury Beast watched Ye Liuyun lazily, not moving from its spot.
It figured that since Ye Liuyun and his companions were not of high cultivation level, there was no need to eat the Demon Flower prematurely. So, it decided to stay put and wait for them to hand themselves over.
Before Ye Liuyun could get any closer, he began casting spells. The Infernal Fury Beast’s body was suddenly enveloped in a golden Buddha’s halo, stunning it and causing it to leap up in surprise.
Ye Liuyun was still a good distance from it and had not made any physical action, leading the beast to assume it was being ambushed by someone else. Panic-stricken, it leapt about, surveying its surroundings, but saw no other creatures.
In the meantime, the power of the Buddha’s halo had begun to invade its virtuoso.
The closer Ye Liuyun got to the beast, the more potent the Buddha’s halo in its body became.
Roar!
The Infernal Fury Beast cried out in pain, unable to contain the urge to turn around and devour the Demon Flower.
"Hey!" Ye Liuyun yelled out anxiously. "Big kitty, come play with me!"
The third level feral beasts could understand human language, and knew that Ye Liuyun was provoking it.
It had nowhere to vent its anger. As soon as it heard Ye Liuyun’s shout, it immediately turned around and roared back at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun quickened his pace, letting Manshu and Ye Tiandao keep their distance, and faced the Infernal Fury Beast himself.
As Ye Liuyun got closer, the Infernal Fury Beast also found that the power of Buddha’s halo in its body became stronger. Hence, it confirmed that Ye Liuyun was the one causing it.
With a roar, it charged straight at Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun also countered with a direct strike of his Qiankun Palm. In this palm, not only was there the power of heaven and earth, but also his advance energy and the power of Buddhist-Devil.
With a ’bang’, the Infernal Fury Beast was knocked over but it quickly got up and shook its head, looking somewhat dizzy.
It had also underestimated Ye Liuyun, being fooled by his appearance. It didn’t expect Ye Liuyun’s power to be so strong.
Furthermore, with Ye Liuyun’s curse, the power of Buddha’s halo inside its body was on the verge of being uncontrollable.
Suddenly two light sounds came from the Demon Flower.
It came from the three seeds formed by the Demon Flower, two of which had matured and broke open their seed pods.
The Infernal Fury Beast didn’t care about Ye Liuyun anymore, it swayed and rushed back.
"You’re not as fast as me!" Ye Liuyun instantly used Spatial Force to directly move the Demon Flower, root and all, into his own Spatial World.
The Infernal Fury Beast let out a mournful roar, instantly waking up.
This Demon Flower, which it had protected for nearly a year, now disappeared before his eyes. How could it not go berserk?
Despite being nearly exhausted by Ye Liuyun, it still desperately rushed at Ye Liuyun.
