As time passed, Ye Yu gradually learned to restrain his aura and control the power of Zhu Yan, the War Beast.
This was not out of mercy,
but because he didn’t want other great demons to discover his true identity for now.
Although he had reached mid Earth Demon realm, the demon world was full of powerful beings.
If some Golden Demon or Demon Lord decided Zhu Yan’s abilities were special and dissected him for research, that would be disastrous.
So again, the rule was: don’t be a genius who falls on the road to success.
Protect yourself fully before you’ve matured, so you can have a wider sky.
However, over the years, Ye Yu’s luck was only average.
He hadn’t encountered any decent cultivation techniques,
which led to slow progress in training.
To change this, Ye Yu decided to take a gamble,
to put his uncertain future in fate’s hands.
At first, it proved right!
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he found two heavenly-grade treasures.
He expected to stop there, fully refining them and ending the auto-training.
But unexpectedly, once the talent activated, the body’s goal was the starry sea.
First, the body stored the two treasures in his storage ring.
Then headed south to a demon mountain, boldly entering a Demon King’s blessed grotto.
Unfortunately, that Demon King was originally discussing work with his leopard consort.
Seeing “Ye Yu” storm in directly, he froze, thinking it was the leopard consort’s partner and instinctively wanted to explain.
But before he could speak, “Ye Yu” punched and shattered a hidden compartment inside the grotto, grabbed the cultivation method inside, and left without hesitation.
Every move flowed smoothly, without excess.
Truly arriving and leaving in haste.
If not for the damaged array at the grotto’s entrance proving someone had just been there,
the Demon King would have thought his eyes were deceiving him.
After asking the leopard consort, he learned it wasn’t her partner but a strange demon.
This instantly made the peak Golden Demon furious, his eyes bloodshot!
Crazy! Crazy! Is the entire demon world mad?
Demons now so absurd?
Breaking into a home without permission, opening secret compartments, stealing cultivation methods in front of the owner!
Damn it, you clearly don’t take me for a demon!
If I don’t tear you limb from limb today, I’ll read my own name backwards as “Yang Xiao the Red Sky Ram”!
With a roar,
the Demon King known as Red Sky Ram launched a furious chase after “Ye Yu”!
This pursuit confirmed some things again.
As Ye Yu deduced, a body controlled by auto-training can only use cultivation methods from the current dream world.
Cultivation methods from other dreams? Not possible.
In this dream, the only cultivation method Ye Yu had was the Heavenly Nourishment Technique!
With just this, escaping a peak Golden Demon was impossible.
So several times, “Ye Yu” faced life-threatening danger and nearly got killed on the spot.
Watching these perilous scenes, Ye Yu’s soul trembled with fear.
Damn, isn’t this going too far?
Auto-training or not, consider the consequences!
Snatching someone’s stuff right in front of them — really too much.
And the worst part — couldn’t you pick a weaker, lower-level target to bully?
Jumping straight into high-end peak Golden Demon difficulty, really inappropriate!
Soul-body Ye Yu was full of complaints, ranting wildly.
Time slowly passed during this chase.
After one hour,
Ye Yu returned to his own body.
By now, he clearly felt the heavy breathing of that great demon behind him.
Was it that close already?
He dared not stop and immediately cast Ghost Immortal Technique: Burn the Nine Nether.
A black flame instantly blocked Red Sky Ram’s path.
Taking this chance, Ye Yu quickly shook off the pursuit and disappeared.
Seeing this, Red Sky Ram stamped furiously and howled toward the sky.
Soon, two more great demons arrived:
a canine demon named Lu Ye, and an ox demon named Zhou Zichuan.
Like Red Sky Ram, both were peak Golden Demons.
They asked suspiciously, “Second brother, why did you rush us here? What happened?”
Yang Xiao said coldly, “Our stuff was just stolen. I called you to ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) help block him, but unfortunately, we were too late—he escaped.”
Lu Ye shouted angrily, “What? Didn’t you say it was safe with you? How was it stolen?”
“Who stole it? How?”
Hearing the questions, Yang Xiao’s face burned with shame.
Having a low-level Earth Demon steal their stuff right under their noses was embarrassing.
So he started lying.
“I don’t know who it was, only remember the guy had white hair and looked kind of handsome.”
“He seemed to know exactly where I hid it and just took it. By the time I noticed, it was too late.”
Hearing this, Zhou Zichuan frowned and said irritably,
“What? Not knowing who it was is a big problem.”
“If the outside world finds out we had that item, all three of us are dead!”
“No, we must quickly find it. No time to lose — let’s split up and search!”
Yang Xiao suddenly raised his hand to stop Zhou Zichuan from leaving.
“Wait, I suddenly remembered the technique that demon used—it seemed to be Bai family’s Heavenly Nourishment Technique.”
“We three should visit the Bai family first! Maybe the problem will be solved!”
Lu Ye stepped forward, staring hard at Yang Xiao, saying each word distinctly:
“You should pray we find it soon. If not, even if you’re my brother, you die! Understand?”
Feeling that deadly intent like a tangible force, Yang Xiao nodded repeatedly, not daring to speak further.
Meanwhile,
Ye Yu had reached a secret place and, after confirming Yang Xiao had not followed,
finally breathed a sigh of relief.
During the chase, he clearly sensed other strong auras nearby.
If caught, it would be over for him.
Fortunately, all was well.
Damn! Auto-training really doesn’t consider if its user’s a lunatic—so reckless!
I really want to see what kind of cultivation method this dangerous grab turned out to be!
