Chapter 3383
Although Ao Feng, patriarch of the demon race, also possessed protective treasures, it felt that no defensive treasure would be of any use against the power of the Golden Crow Fire Spirit. It might as well strike immediately.
Both of Ao Feng’s soul origins were larger than Ye Liuyun’s strongest soul origin. Yet even so, when they rushed close to the Soul Refining Cauldron, they were shaken until their souls scattered, just the same, becoming resources for the cauldron’s refinement.
"Pfft!"
Ao Feng instantly suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Crimson Demon fighting Lei Ming saw that the patriarch had been injured and immediately released another divine soul, which also charged into Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness, intending to help the patriarch deal with the defensive treasure there.
"How dare you! You’re fighting me, yet you still dare to help someone else!"
Lei Ming was enraged by the Crimson Demon as well. She had actually failed to stop her opponent, allowing it to launch a sneak attack on her little brother. Although Ye Liuyun wasn’t afraid of a sneak attack by a divine soul, she still felt that it was her fault.
She immediately activated the Thunder Spirit and sent it into the Crimson Demon’s sea of consciousness, where it began bombarding everything indiscriminately.
The Crimson Demon was unable to withstand the Thunder Spirit’s bombardment. Its remaining soul origin and one divine soul were forced out and charged toward Lei Ming’s sea of consciousness.
"I’ll wipe you out, you bastard! How dare you sneak-attack my little brother!"
While cursing, Lei Ming had the tablet absorb the Crimson Demon’s soul origin. At the same time, her own soul origin seized one of the Crimson Demon’s weaker divine souls and devoured it.
The Crimson Demon’s two soul origins and one divine soul were destroyed one after another, making it the first to be eliminated.
Next came the Crimson Demon attacked by Vermilion Bird. Vermilion Bird’s soul origin charged directly into that Crimson Demon’s sea of consciousness wrapped in flames, while also casting an illusion technique on it.
Although that Crimson Demon’s soul origins were relatively powerful, they still couldn’t withstand prolonged burning by the fierce flames. In the end, Vermilion Bird burned them all to ashes.
By then, Ao Feng’s physical body was also reaching its limit. It suddenly let out a roar and summoned two more soul origins from its spatial world. Their size was exactly the same as that of its previous soul origins.
This time, it again targeted Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness, even bringing along a small bell that was probably a divine-soul treasure for either defense or attack.
Seeing this, Ye Liuyun immediately shifted the Soul Refining Cauldron to the side, allowing both of its soul origins to charge into his sea of consciousness.
As a result, the moment they charged in, they were covered by the Myriad Gods Order. Its small bell couldn’t move at all before it even had a chance to take effect.
Moreover, it had never imagined that Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness contained four soul origins.
The four soul origins attacked together, dragging both of its soul origins into the Soul-Sealing Pearl, where they could be slowly refined by the Soul Refining Cauldron later.
Ye Liuyun gained yet another insight. "The demon patriarch really hid things deeply. It actually concealed two soul origins in its spatial world! The world truly is full of wonders!"
As he gained more and more experience, he discovered that the applications of various powers were truly varied and endlessly wondrous.
As for the small bell, the Myriad Gods Order had already erased the divine sense on it. Ye Liuyun therefore set it aside for the time being and focused on watching for whatever other methods Ao Feng might have.
Everyone had seen Dragon Maiden suffer earlier. As soon as Lei Ming and Vermilion Bird finished their own battles, they went over to help, so Ye Liuyun was not too worried.
By then, the opponent of the First Clone had already been restrained by the power of Buddhist light, which hampered its ability to fight. Meanwhile, Chi Lian’s bloodline absorption speed was astonishingly fast, and soon the opponent no longer had the strength to attack.
Before it was drained into a dried corpse, it released its divine soul and sent it into Chi Lian’s sea of consciousness, hoping to take revenge. But Chi Lian had cultivated two soul origins and easily dragged the divine soul into the Soul-Sealing Pearl.
The First Clone immediately went to help Dragon Maiden deal with the black-armored alien.
That black-armored alien was truly tough. When the First Clone exchanged a punch with it, its arm was blasted open. But after Chi Lian arrived and began rapidly absorbing its power of bloodline, it finally showed signs of defeat. Otherwise, even with so many people surrounding it, its physical body could have endured their attacks.
Before the First Clone arrived, it had even blasted the Megalithic Ape away. Even the Demon Lion’s Wind-Thunder Fan could be withstood directly by that black-armored demon using only its physical body.
After the Second Clone completely hacked his opponent to death with sword intention and the power of Buddhist light, he went to help White Tiger and the Nine-Headed Demonic Dragon. He attacked their demon opponent with curse arts, immediately giving White Tiger and the Nine-Headed Demonic Dragon the upper hand.
The demon race member trapped by Qiong Qi within the formation flags possessed the strongest Spatial Force. It had been using Spatial Force to hold up the formation within the flags, preventing it from shrinking and locking it in place.
Although its Spatial Force was formidable, it was about on par with Ye Liuyun’s. It could not break through the formation flags’ restraints on its own, so it was now filled with regret.
In fact, if it had fled from the very beginning, Qiong Qi might not have been able to cover it with the formation flags, given its Spatial Force.
But now, whenever it dealt with the formation flags, it could not deal with Qiong Qi’s flames. As a result, its entire body had already been burned black and charred, with smoke rising from it.
Therefore, Qiong Qi did not need anyone’s help. It simply roasted the demon slowly while taunting the demon expert, saying that it would roast it until it was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. This made the demon howl in rage, yet it could do nothing about it.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the demon patriarch, whose body had been burned even more severely, also let out an angry roar.
It had never expected its two powerful soul origins to be destroyed yet again. Seeing that all the experts it had brought were on the verge of being wiped out, it now understood that their demon race might decline.
This was especially true of the Crimson Demon race to which it belonged. Its experts had already suffered near-total casualties, and its position would soon be taken by another demon race. Yet it was utterly helpless now, having actually fallen at the hands of a human boy.
That roar was filled with unwillingness and helplessness.
It also wanted to see exactly what treasure Ye Liuyun had in his sea of consciousness that could instantly destroy even such powerful soul origins.
However, it did not say this aloud. Before its physical body was burned to ashes by the Golden Crow Fire Spirit, it released its final divine soul and sent it charging toward Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness once more.
This time, it saw the Myriad Gods Order in Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness, along with the demon race’s Soul Refining Cauldron, that golden bell, the Demon-Sealing Stele, and Ye Liuyun’s four soul origins.
Ye Liuyun showed no mercy and directly dragged this divine soul into the Soul-Sealing Pearl, where it would later be refined into a soul origin.
The moment Ao Feng’s final divine soul was destroyed, its physical body was immediately burned to ashes by the Golden Crow Fire Spirit. Ye Liuyun had wanted the Golden Crow Fire Spirit not to burn its Interspatial Ring, but unfortunately, he was too late. The Golden Crow Fire Spirit burned up Ao Feng’s Interspatial Ring along with it, leaving behind none of its resources.
"You’re being far too wasteful!" Ye Liuyun could only say helplessly before recalling the Golden Crow Fire Spirit.
At this moment, the demon race’s black-armored expert was finally drained into a dried corpse by Chi Lian.
White Tiger and the Nine-Headed Demonic Dragon’s opponent was pierced through with several holes by the golden spear, then hacked into pieces by the Nine-Headed Demonic Dragon with its demonic blade.
The expert sealed within Qiong Qi’s formation flags met the same fate as Ao Feng and was burned to ashes. It was simply even more aggrieved than Ao Feng, having not attacked anyone at all before being burned to death.
