Chapter 2898: Chapter 2898
After Ye Liuyun regained his Xuanyuan power, he didn’t pause his advance. He summoned Kylin, Hei Shan, and Hei Hu—two experts at the Unity realm—and pressed onward to the next battlefield.
"Do I really have to step in even though I’m at the Unity realm?" Purple Kylin Snake grumbled, looking thoroughly displeased.
Ye Liuyun could only reassure him, "I’ll guarantee your safety. Just use your time powers to help us take down more of these beasts!"
"Well, if that’s the case..." Purple Kylin Snake finally relented.
To protect him, Ye Liuyun even equipped Purple Kylin Snake with an artifact that shielded against soul attacks—just in case they encountered beasts with overwhelming soul power that could strike him even while time was frozen.
The roar of the beasts here carried the oppressive aura of the Unity realm. These creatures were far stronger than those outside; their mere growls made it clear they were no ordinary foes. Hei Shan remained unfazed, but Hei Hu visibly tensed.
"Don’t worry," Ye Liuyun reassured them. "With your current soul and physical strength, nothing here can deal you a fatal blow. Just fight as hard as you can, and retreat to recover when you’re spent."
Hei Hu hesitated. "But if we fall back, can you handle all these beasts alone?"
Ye Liuyun was surprised—Hei Hu actually cared about his well-being. Smiling, he replied, "Don’t worry about me. Even if I stood still and let them attack, they couldn’t harm me!"
With that, Ye Liuyun swung his blade at the foremost beast charging toward them.
Seeing the overwhelming horde, Purple Kylin Snake immediately activated his time powers, freezing time to thin their numbers and ease Ye Liuyun’s burden.
This time, even with his blade intent, Ye Liuyun found it tough going against Unity-realm beasts. A single careless strike wouldn’t be enough to kill one.
"My control over Heaven and Earth energy is still too weak!" he lamented inwardly.
His blade strikes carried sufficient blade intent and spatial power, but without enough Heaven and Earth energy, their impact fell short. He needed to channel more Xuanyuan power into each attack.
So he focused intently, refining his mastery of Heaven and Earth energy mid-battle, refusing to waste this opportunity to temper himself.
The Purple Kirin had already slain nearly a hundred beasts at the Unity Realm before swiftly retreating into the spatial world of its clone to recover. That left Ye Liuyun, his clone, Black Mountain, and the Black Tiger to continue battling the savage beasts.
Though they often took hits, their physical resilience had grown far stronger than before. Beasts of the Unity Realm couldn’t inflict any real harm on them, and with each fight, their confidence only grew.
Some beasts attempted soul attacks, but most lacked the spiritual power to match them. Even the Black Slayer and the Black Tiger remained unharmed. When these creatures’ souls surged into Ye Liuyun and his clone’s consciousness, they merely served as nourishment.
Not a single beast corpse was wasted—each kill was immediately stored away in spatial rings.
Meanwhile, outside the Frenzied Battle Hell Secret Realm, the elder responsible for registrations was answering the inquiries of the Tang Family’s Fifth Elder.
Tang Fengkuan, the Fifth Elder of the Tang Family, oversaw disciple training personally, even handpicking members for the family’s expeditionary forces.
Control of this secret realm lay in his hands, though its nature was peculiar—he could only manage its entry and exit points, never fully mastering the realm itself. Yet, he could sense when someone within had slain a beast three realms above their own. That was why he had come to investigate, eager to learn who was undergoing such trials inside.
"Only those two are inside?" Tang Fengkuan pressed the registration elder for confirmation.
"Yes. Recently, few Tang disciples have entered this realm," the elder replied, unaware of Tang Fengkuan’s true purpose and assuming he merely sought an update on disciple activity.
"Tang Xiaofeng... Tang Wan? Why haven’t I heard of these two before?" Tang Fengkuan probed further.
"I’m not very familiar with them either," the registration elder admitted.
Tang Fengkuan nodded but made no move to leave—instead, he took a seat.
Only then did the registration elder strike up conversation, cautiously inquiring about his true intentions.
"They’ve been fighting across three realms!" Tang Fengkuan declared outright.
The elder’s jaw dropped at his words. "Fighting across three realms? These two nobodies?"
Tang Fengkuan nodded, then turned to the elder and ordered, "Go investigate their backgrounds. I’ll wait here for them to come out."
"Yes, sir!" Though stunned, the elder complied and hurried off to gather information about the two disciples.
In less than half an hour, the elder returned and briefed Tang Fengkuan on what he had learned.
"They seem completely ordinary!" Tang Fengkuan frowned in confusion after hearing about Tang Xiaofeng and Tang Wan.
"Exactly! To fight across three realms in this secret realm, one would have to be among the most elite prodigies! Could they be relying on some kind of treasure?" the elder speculated.
Tang Fengkuan pondered for a moment before nodding. "That’s very possible. But even if they used treasures to slay so many beasts across three realms, it’s still impressive. After all, treasures are part of one’s strength.
Now, the real question is—how strong are they truly? Right now, they’re facing beasts of the Unity Realm. That’s a full major realm beyond them. Given their background, it’s hard to believe they could handle such powerful foes.
I’ll wait a little longer. If they’re still alive and fighting, I’ll step in to assess the situation myself."
The two elders waited for what felt like an eternity. Then, suddenly, Tang Fengkuan sensed that Ye Liuyun had cleared the trial.
"The Unity Realm battle is over!" Tang Fengkuan shot to his feet.
"What? Then they’ve broken the record?" The elder gasped in shock.
At that moment, Tang Fengkuan was torn—part of him hoped Ye Liuyun truly possessed such strength, while another part feared he had relied entirely on treasures, making this excitement all for nothing. His heart pounded with nervous anticipation.
So he wasn’t in a hurry to enter. Instead, he decided to wait and see if Ye Liuyun would challenge another battle.
At that moment, Ye Liuyun and his doppelgänger were both cultivating and contemplating whether to fight again.
For the next battle, Ye Liuyun didn’t plan to let the other beasts intervene—only he and the Demon Vine would go out for training. The Unity Realm’s second level was still quite dangerous for most demonic beasts.
Besides, he and his doppelgänger could take turns resting, preventing too much pressure from building up.
As for Li Daoyuan, he had no intention of letting him out. Li Daoyuan wouldn’t be able to take down many enemies, and sending him out would only attract more ferocious beasts.
Ye Liuyun simply notified the Demon Vine, instructing it to fight alongside him and absorb as much energy as possible.
"Absorb all you can! Who knows—you might even break through another level with this opportunity!" Ye Liuyun told the Demon Vine.
The Demon Vine wasn’t the least bit worried about danger. On the contrary, it was eager—the more energy, the better. It even believed that if there were enough beasts outside, it might truly advance another realm.
