Chapter 2834: Chapter 2834
Here’s the translation:
Ye Liuyun and his companions were heading toward the same star system Liao Tianyang had previously visited—a realm teeming with Unity-level powerhouses. Ye Liuyun intended for Liao Tianyang to guide him there, hoping to gain firsthand insight into this advanced cultivation stage.
During their journey, Ye Liuyun’s spatial abilities progressed remarkably. With expert mentors demonstrating techniques, his learning accelerated exponentially. A single spatial leap now carried him vast distances, bordering on true teleportation.
To Liao Tianyang and Hei Shan, spatial constraints had become virtually nonexistent—no barriers, no limitations—their movements effortless as breathing. Ye Liuyun emulated their approach, disregarding spatial boundaries and shattering conventional structures, though intermittent resistance still affected his transitions, limiting his range. Yet even so, his speed now surpassed that of hunting falcons—while raptors merely flew through voidspace, he traversed it instantaneously.
Through his clone’s persistent efforts, the corrupt aura clinging to Hei Shan had been gradually purified by Buddhist radiance. The transformation was profound—no longer the bloodthirsty savage, though inherently demonic nature remained. Now distinguishable between ally and foe, he’d evolved beyond a mindless killing machine.
This purification earned him recognition among demonkind. As an ancient demon, his essence resonated with theirs. When not training with Ye Liuyun, he immersed himself in demon society. His tactical brilliance and leadership surpassed even the Tiger-Head Beast King’s, eventually securing his appointment as supreme commander of the demon forces, with the Beast King as lieutenant.
Training under demonic masters elevated Hei Shan’s combat prowess dramatically despite unchanged cultivation tier—soon surpassing even Liao Tianyang in strength. (Though Ye Liuyun considered Liao weak in soul, physique, and power of bloodline, objectively he remained mid-tier among peers.)
Their route intersected multiple star systems where Ye Liuyun harvested planetary essences. They clashed with rogue cultivators and space marauders alike. After replenishing his War God bloodline through Chi Lian’s essence, internal vision revealed his veins pulsing with crimson luminescence. Enhanced power of bloodline amplified comprehension, reflexes, endurance—and an insatiable battle-lust demanding regular violent outlets.
Thus Ye Liuyun barred Liao Tianyang from combat, leading engagements personally. Against mid-tier Dominators (7th-8th stratum), he wielded blades and spatial manipulation; against weaker foes (6th-7th stratum), raw physicality sufficed. Post-upgrade, his blade intent coupled with spatial techniques could challenge 9th-stratum Dominators—though frequently battered (his near-indestructible body, tempered by demon vines, ensured survival). When truly overwhelmed, soul force or white radiance delivered finishing blows.
His Profound Energy had grown more concentrated, and the power of heaven and earth at his disposal had become even more abundant. Now, he could face a seventh-level Dominator even without wielding his blade. Sixth-level Dominators were gradually ceasing to be a match for him. If he employed his spatial abilities, martial cultivators at that level wouldn’t even be able to land a hit on him.
His current cultivation had already reached the peak of the fifth-level Dominator realm. However, he had been deliberately suppressing his breakthrough, refining his Profound Energy further. In truth, he could ascend at any moment.
"One more great battle—let me fight to my heart’s content, and then I’ll break through!" Ye Liuyun was eager for a fierce, unrestrained clash.
Lei Ming, the Dragon Maiden, Liang Xue, and the others were also on the verge of breakthroughs. Like Ye Liuyun, they were compressing and refining their genuine energy, striving to solidify their foundations.
Thanks to the infusion of Chi Lian’s power of bloodline, the bloodlines of those around Ye Liuyun had all strengthened, and their combat prowess had improved. Currently, each of them was working to shore up their weaknesses—those with weaker divine souls devoured more in battle, while those with weaker physiques focused on body tempering and combat training.
Though they were still far from the Unity Realm, they were all laying the groundwork for the future, balancing their strengths in preparation.
And at last, Ye Liuyun got his chance for a grand battle.
That day, he released several demonic beasts, intending for them to claim a planet. With a sweep of his golden pupils, he noted that the world was teeming with savage beasts—perfect prey for them.
But the moment they descended from the void, the planet’s Beast King let out a furious roar and charged out with a horde of monstrous creatures in tow.
"What’s this? Attacking right away? We haven’t even done anything yet!" Ye Liuyun was baffled.
The Beast King was a massive black tiger with golden eyes, a ninth-level Dominator, and its underlings were no weaklings either.
"Who cares? Let’s fight first and ask questions later!" Lei Ming was practically vibrating with excitement.
Seeing the eager glint in the eyes of the other demonic beasts, Ye Liuyun chuckled. "Fine then. Might as well stock up on some beast meat while we’re at it!"
With that, he released even more of his companions. He and his doppelgänger brandished their Demon-Slaying Blades, each targeting eighth and ninth-level savage beasts.
The demonic beasts all reverted to their true forms and surged forward, each seeking out opponents matching their own strength.
The Dragon Maiden was challenging a savage beast of the eighth-tier dominance realm. Her true dragon bloodline could suppress the beast’s strength by two full tiers, making it the perfect opponent for her. Thunderclap, on the other hand, could only weaken his adversary by one tier with his power of bloodline, so he had to settle for a seventh-tier dominance beast.
Like Thunderclap, the White Tiger also engaged a seventh-tier opponent. The Vermilion Bird, however, effortlessly handled an eighth-tier beast. Meanwhile, the three Vespera demon beasts each took on seventh-tier foes.
Among the other women, only Tian Dao Ye—with her mastery of blade intent—could contend with an eighth-tier beast. The rest fought opponents one tier above their own, trading blows in fierce, evenly matched battles.
But as the number of savage beasts continued to swell, Ye Liuyun foresaw the mounting danger. He instructed Tian Dao Ye to release some of their forces—just enough to intercept the incoming beasts, allowing them to trickle in gradually for training purposes.
Tian Dao Ye unleashed over fifty elite martial artists, who joined forces to repel the advancing beasts, preventing them from overwhelming the group in a single surge.
Yet as the Beast King relentlessly summoned more reinforcements, Tian Dao Ye had no choice but to deploy additional fighters. The numbers on both sides grew steadily.
Determined to swiftly subdue the Beast King, Ye Liuyun unleashed the full might of his power of bloodline, crippling the creature’s abilities. Then, wielding his Demon-Slaying Blade, he pushed his spatial manipulation to the limit—sending blade intent streaking toward the Beast King from all directions, some strikes lightning-fast, others agonizingly slow.
