Chapter 2954: Chapter 2954
After the fierce battle with the Ancient Demonic Clan, the demonic beasts by Ye Liuyun’s side had acquired a vast number of Ancient Demon Core Pellets.
Lei Ming, relying on these demonic energy-rich pellets, was on the verge of breaking through to the Unity Realm. The Nine-Headed Demonic Dragon, the Demonic Lion, Black Mountain, and the Tiger-headed Beast King were no different—each absorbed and refined the Ancient Demon Core Pellets in their own way.
The Demon-Sealing Stele within Ye Liuyun’s consciousness had fallen silent, likely digesting the immense energy it had absorbed.
As for the Demonic Vine, it leisurely feasted on the Ancient Demon corpses it had collected, alternating between eating and sleeping, its strength steadily growing.
Despite their formidable power, none of them were suited for combat in the Demon-Repelling Star System due to their demonic energy attributes.
With Ye Liuyun himself unable to leave at the moment, he dispatched his two avatars, accompanied by Ye Tiandao, Li Daoyuan, Chi Lian, the Vermilion Bird, the Black Tiger, and three Xuanwu demonic beasts, to claim the uninhabited planets within the Demon-Repelling Star System. If they encountered danger, Ye Tiandao could release the Unity Realm martial cultivators under her command.
The disciples from the four great families—Tang Xiao, An Ran, and others—were also entrusted to the avatars, allowing them easier access to the source energy.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun and his group set off directly for the Qin Family, with the two teams operating separately.
Once the avatars departed, Ye Liuyun was promptly swept into the women’s plans. He understood their feelings—who knew when another urgent matter might arise, forcing him to leave again? They were simply making the most of their time with him.
So he adjusted his mindset, devoting himself wholeheartedly to their company. Especially for those who had waited for him for years, he took this opportunity to show them more care.
During the day, he mostly spent his time refining his advance energy, occasionally offering guidance to the women in their cultivation, urging them to focus on spatial force and the power of heaven and earth.
Now, Ye Liuyun’s mastery of the power of heaven and earth was such that it naturally formed a protective barrier around him without any conscious effort. Attacks from those weaker than him couldn’t even breach this defense.
The same went for spatial force—layers of space folded around him, rendering most assaults ineffective. While the women admired his abilities, Ye Liuyun himself remained dissatisfied.
Though he had no trouble dealing with Dominator Realm experts, he still fell short against Unity Realm cultivators of the first three tiers.
But for now, the advancement of these two forces rested solely on his avatars. He simply didn’t have the time to cultivate both himself. Fortunately, all three of them could synchronize their progress—each avatar specializing in one force allowed them to save considerable training time.
After the two avatars ventured out, they noticed the changes in the Exorcist Star System. What was once dominated by four great families had now become the Tang family’s sole supremacy, while the An, Zhou, and Wan families had begun their decline. The Tang family was currently seizing the unclaimed planets under their control.
This chaos provided the perfect opportunity for the avatars and their group to strike. The second avatar swiftly claimed over a dozen unclaimed planets. With the power of heaven and earth, as well as spatial manipulation, the two avatars became virtually invincible among the disciples of the four families fighting over these territories.
Meanwhile, Chi Lian absorbed the bloodline energy of those disciples, breaking through to the first level of the Unity Realm. After stabilizing his cultivation, he assisted the two avatars and Tian Dao Ye in enhancing their bloodline powers.
The blazing soul flames of Zhu Que and the elusive movements of the three Xuanwu made it nearly impossible for the elite disciples of the great families to resist. As a result, Li Daoyuan and Black Tiger mostly stood by, watching the spectacle unfold.
Nearly two years had passed since Ye Liuyun vanished without a trace. The great families had assumed the thief who plundered their planets had fled. But now, with planets disappearing again and their competing disciples slaughtered, suspicions arose—could Ye Liuyun have returned?
The families that had suffered the most under Ye Liuyun’s schemes dispatched their elders to hunt down the culprits.
Yet the avatar-led group did not evade them. Instead, they slaughtered every pursuer they encountered—elders included. Armed with blade intent and the power of heaven and earth, the two avatars could hold their own even against Unity Realm elders, as long as they weren’t overwhelmingly outnumbered.
If too many elders surrounded them, the first avatar unleashed his white light, the second activated his crimson pupils, and Chi Lian absorbed their bloodline energy, while the three Xuanwu struck with black light. None could withstand them.
They systematically targeted the unclaimed planets, starting with the Wan family, followed by the Zhou family, swiftly claiming all of their unoccupied territories.
The disciples and elders of these two families had dwindled in number. After a few battles, they could no longer mount any resistance. Though Tian Dao Ye’s Unity Realm experts suffered some losses, the two avatars captured enough replacements to balance the scales, leaving their overall strength largely intact.
When they advanced toward the An family’s unclaimed planets, they encountered a Tang family strike team—Tang Xinyao, Tang Hao, and Tang Qianyu among them. Leading a squad of elite disciples, they had tracked the avatars’ movements, hoping to exploit the chaos for gains and gauge their adversaries’ strength.
An elite An family team also intercepted the avatar-led group. Seeing that their opponents’ cultivation levels were not particularly high, Tang Xinyao and her companions revealed themselves, eager for a fight.
“You again? Are you determined to make enemies of the An family?” An An family disciple frowned upon spotting them. Though unimpressed by the avatars’ cultivation, they knew Tang Xinyao’s group was formidable—far beyond their own capabilities—and inwardly braced for misfortune.
Tang Xinyao stepped forward first, her expression brimming with mischief, and addressed the An family: “We’re just here to watch the show. Carry on with your fight!”
*"If they dare show themselves, they must have resolved the issue of the stolen An family Golden Source Liquid!"* The first avatar mused silently, his golden pupils sweeping over the trio to assess their cultivation levels.
"They’ve all reached the Unity Realm!" The first clone wasn’t too surprised when he sensed their cultivation levels. Given how long it had been, it was only natural they’d made breakthroughs. These were, after all, the Tang Family’s prodigies—none of them lacked talent.
But his golden-eyed gaze immediately caught the attention of Tang Xinyao and Tang Qianyu. Tang Hao, however, remained indifferent, unfazed. The two women, on the other hand, first flashed with anger before their expressions shifted to confusion.
Tang Xinyao, in particular, strode right up to the first clone and asked, "Young master, what’s your name? There’s something oddly familiar about you."
"Hah! I’d rather not be familiar with you!" The first clone couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her expression, recalling just how much mischief she usually had up her sleeve.
His response only deepened Tang Xinyao’s bewilderment.
Not wanting to reveal his identity, the first clone simply waved her off. "If you’re here for the show, step aside for now. Once we’re done dealing with the An Family, we can have a little spar of our own!"
