Chapter 1884: Chapter 1884 Full Load
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" the sound of explosions echoed.
The silver-armored foreign race was overwhelmed by the Devil Hound and other devil beasts’ attacks, unable to withstand the barrage. Despite the armor, it was attacked until spitting blood.
The spells were highly effective against it, rendering it powerless and wailing for help in no time.
Ye Liuyun used his sword intention to fend off the approaching Corpse Demons and foreign races as best as he could.
Fortunately, there were no higher-level Corpse Demons nearby, and Ye Liuyun and his companions finally managed to eliminate the silver-armored foreign race
Ye Liuyun stripped off the foreign race’s armor, took its Interspatial Ring and virtuoso, and then set the corpse ablaze.
After that, he summoned the feral beasts back and ordered Long-tailed Glede to traverse the void, leaving the area to avoid being surrounded by more Corpse Demons and foreign races.
Soon after, the Vermilion Bird, Brute Bull, Devil Ape, and Devil Snake returned to regroup with Ye Liuyun.
"We couldn’t reach the foreign race’s city. There were too many of them, and we were running out of genuine energy." Vermilion Bird explained to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun didn’t push them. He let them return to the Spatial World to rest while he used his Golden Phantom Eyes to avoid the foreign races and Corpse Demons as much as possible.
He began to retreat slowly at the same time.
Higher-level foreign races and Corpse Demons were closing in. Staying would put him in danger.
Ye Liuyun could easily kill foreign races and Corpse Demons of the fourth level and below, almost without encountering opponents. He could even wipe out first, second, and third-level opponents directly with spells.
Taking advantage of the situation, Ye Liuyun practiced his Elemental Spirit Secret Skill, honing his control over the genuine energy of the foreign race members and Corpse Demons.
Ye Liuyun would avoid human martial practitioners whenever he encountered them, considering them allies against foreign races didn’t want to harm them.
The battlefield had a considerable number of humans as well. However, the battlefield was vast enough for Ye Liuyun to avoid them.
A month later, Ye Liuyun returned with a full load. He had obtained many resources from the foreign races’ Interspatial Rings and killed a large number of foreign races and Corpse Demons.
When the remaining martial practitioners gathered at the gate of Base Seven, Ye Liuyun noticed that out of over three thousand, only five to six hundred had survived.
This was all thanks to Ye Liuyun. After he retreated, he killed a large number of foreign races and Corpse Demons in the area of the fourth-level Corpse Demons, allowing more martial practitioners to survive.
However, many surviving martial practitioners were covered in blood and looked exhausted.
When the gate opened, a team of higher-level experts stopped the survivors to check if they had completed their tasks and to collect the entry fee.
Ye Liuyun and his group had accumulated wealth, so they all produced Spirit Crystals and entered the city.
The martial practitioners inside the city were shocked, not expecting so many survivors this time.
"Has the strength of the foreign races weakened?"
Some martial practitioners thought the foreign race had weakened and seized the opportunity to go out and kill more of them.
Upon entering the city, most people headed to the Exchange Hall to trade for resources.
Ye Liuyun went to the Exchange Hall following the crowd. He had acquired a lot of virtuoso from the foreign races and Corpse Demons. While he could use them for cultivation, it was time-consuming and less efficient than exchanging them for better resources.
He waited for his turn patiently while observing others exchanging their items.
To avoid mistakes, the exchange hall used puppets to tally the virtuoso, which would confirm the correct numbers with the martial practitioners in every trade.
Some people had few spoils and could only take out a few virtuosos for some Spirit Crystals.
Others took out hundreds of virtuosos. They were martial practitioners with high realms who hadn’t dared to take risks and had been killing foreign races and Corpse Demons in lower-level areas.
Such individuals could exchange for fifth-level defensive armor, showing that the rewards here were substantial.
Some even brought out Interspatial Rngs belonging to other martial practitioners, likely having killed their own kind to rob resources. But the exchange hall didn’t question it, trading them just like a commercial guild.
Ye Liuyun noticed that the higher the virtuoso level, the more resources they could be exchanged for, up to ten times more per level. Additionally, virtuosos from foreign races could be exchanged for double the resources compared to those from Corpse Demons of the same level.
Ye Liuyun considered what resources to exchange for. He didn’t lack Spirit Crystals or State Crystals.
He suddenly realized that many had finished exchanging and left, leaving only a few in the hall.
He then approached a puppet and handed over his Interspatial Ring.
The puppet tallied the items and reported, "Corpse Demon virtuosos, twelve at early second-level, sixteen at mid-second-level... one hundred and six at mid-fifth-level, seventy-four at late fifth level."
When the puppet reported the number of late fifth-level Corpse Demon virtuoso, the hall’s stewards were shocked and looked at Ye Liuyun in disbelief, some even thinking the puppet had made a mistake.
But then the puppet reported the number of foreign race virtuosos, " Sixty-one at late fifth-level."
The final tally showed a total of over two thousand three hundred virtuosos.
Moreover, most of Ye Liuyun’s virtuosos were at the fourth level, with over fifteen hundred from fourth-level foreign races and Corpse Demons.
The second-level virtuosos were just from his final retreat, which he obtained from killing a few enemies.
The elder who attended to them earlier approached and rechecked the number of virtuosos in the Interspatial Ring.
He asked Ye Liuyun with a smile, "Did you use any helpers?"
"Yes." Ye Liuyun admitted, knowing there was no rule against using helpers.
The elder asked again, "How many of these did you kill yourself?"
"About sixty to seventy percent." Ye Liuyun estimated.
"Could you show me your Buddha’s halo power?" the elder asked for his permission kindly.
Ye Liuyun knew he couldn’t hide it. Any virtuoso he killed with his Buddha’s halo or spells would bear traces of it.
"This man is quite formidable!"
Ye Liuyun thought to himself as he displayed the Buddha’s halo power in his hand.
"Indeed! Over seventy percent of these virtuoso were killed by you!" The elder nodded.
As his words fell, all the stewards looked at Ye Liuyun respectfully. It was rare for a martial practitioner in an initial base to kill late fifth-level foreign races.
Ye Liuyun hadn’t counted so precisely but knew it was close.
The elder introduced himself, "I’m Wu Yongyuan, the chief steward of Base Seven. Your spoils are too valuable to exchange for Spirit Crystals and State Crystals. Tell me what kind of power you wish to enhance, and I can recommend some resources."
"The name’s Ye Liuyun. I appreciate your help, sir." Ye Liuyun introduced himself and thought this was a much better option than exchanging for Spirit Crystals.
Ye Liuyun then discussed his and his companions’ needs with Wu Yongyuan, careful not to reveal too much.
