Lan Xin helped him search through the storage rings of those powerful cultivators, finding quite a few resources for enhancing power of bloodline to use in his future cultivation. However, Ye Liuyun couldn’t absorb that much at once, and he couldn’t focus solely on improving this one aspect of his strength.

So he temporarily halted his bloodline cultivation and resumed sparring with Liu Wei to train their Spatial Force.

Spatial Force was crucial for concealing his presence. Even if he couldn’t yet use it for killing or defense, he still needed to develop it so his invisibility would go undetected.

His two clones were the same—once they finished training their power of bloodline, they would practice Spatial Force. Liu Wei had the strongest Spatial Force among all the martial cultivators, which made him the busiest sparring partner. After a few days, even without fighting with his true essence, he was utterly exhausted.

Ye Liuyun stopped pushing him so hard. After raising his Spatial Force by a modest amount, he had Xiao Heng store the army into the spatial world.

"Who are we going after?" Xiao Heng still had his star system on his mind.

Ye Liuyun told him plainly, "We can’t just keep waiting here for the dynasty to come at us. It’s time we took the fight to them. First, we’ll grab some resources and collect a little interest from the Fire Seal Dynasty, then go deal with Jiang Yuntian and relieve the siege on your star system while we’re at it."

"Great!" The moment Xiao Heng heard they were going after Jiang Yuntian again, he relaxed completely and immediately ordered the soldiers to break camp, gathering everyone into the spatial world.

Ye Liuyun recorded the coordinates of their current location, then used the Transmission Black Pagoda to return to the Fire Seal Dynasty. He headed first for the star systems under Jiang Yuntian’s influence, releasing Cui Daoran’s thirty thousand Ninth-Layer soldiers and two demon clan legions to plunder resources freely.

Then, without pause, he rushed to the other frontier star systems, releasing Xiao Heng’s army and the Death Legion to seize resources there as well.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun himself made for the He Family and the Fan Family to plunder their ore veins and medicinal herbs. With his current strength and over five thousand elite soldiers at his command, he could take on any major power.

Moving at top speed, he seized several of the He Family’s mineral planets, then led his elite troops to attack the Chen Family—a renowned weapon-refining clan—capturing nearly all of their famous formation masters.

Even Tianhuolaozu and Chen Huoyang, who were inside his spatial world, were greatly astonished to find themselves reunited with family members in Ye Liuyun’s spatial world.

Ye Liuyun then appeared at the Fan Family’s medicinal herb planets, using his five thousand elite soldiers to drive off all of the Fan Family’s martial cultivators and taking both herb planets outright.

The Fan Family barely resisted at all. They knew that even if they fought with everything they had, they couldn’t stop Ye Liuyun from taking the planets—it would only cost them more lives.

After that, Ye Liuyun immediately set his sights on the Void Pill Sect.

In an instant, several major powers were all sending urgent requests for aid to the dynasty. Fire Seal King Jiang Yuantang knew Ye Liuyun had come for revenge and immediately dispatched powerful cultivators and several Imperial Guard units to pursue him.

But they were too slow. By the time they received word, Ye Liuyun had already struck and gone.

Based on the order in which Ye Liuyun had attacked, they deduced that his next target was likely the Void Pill Sect, so they quickly mobilized the garrisons and powerful cultivators stationed nearby to rush there first.

Yet Ye Liuyun struck anyway. The local garrison troops were no threat to him—he and his demon beasts and women were more than enough to handle them.

By the time the dynasty’s powerful cultivators and praetorian arrived, Ye Liuyun had already captured enough pill masters and withdrawn.

He also contacted Qiong Qi and learned that the dynasty’s forces had already reached the Wanhua Sect, so he knew his window there was closed. He immediately changed direction and headed to the Barren Sea World, sweeping through the merchant guilds on the surrounding planets.

He had originally intended to absorb those planets as well, but formation masters Wu Xiang, Jiang Yuhai, and others told him that the dynasty had long since deployed formations on every planet to prevent them from being taken, and had even reinforced the planets’ defenses. To absorb a planet now, he would need to break those formations first.

These large-scale planetary guardian formations had each been constructed by multiple formation masters working together, and breaking them would be just as troublesome. Ye Liuyun didn’t have enough high-level formation masters on hand—though he had captured quite a few from the various armies, breaking a formation of this scale would take at least a month or two. He didn’t have that kind of time, so he had no choice but to abandon that plan for now and instead raid merchant guilds, city lord mansions, and major clans.

During this time, Jiang Yunmo also received word and sent him a sound transmission talisman warning him not to push the dynasty too far and bring destruction upon himself.

But Ye Liuyun merely listened to see if she had any inside information and paid her words no mind whatsoever. He had already brought that destruction upon himself long ago.

Even if he hadn’t moved against these forces, Jiang Yuantang had never intended to let him go. He might as well seize the opportunity to gather as many resources as possible and grow stronger as fast as he could.

So not only did Ye Liuyun show no restraint, he took advantage of the Fire Seal Dynasty’s inability to react in time and sent both of his clones out separately, each leading a contingent of elite soldiers to raid resources on other planets simultaneously.

As a result, planets across the region began flooding the dynasty with pleas for help, leaving Jiang Yuantang completely overwhelmed. He had never imagined Ye Liuyun would attack so many planets at once—even if he wanted to send people to intercept him, he simply didn’t have enough to go around.

In particular, regarding those two outpost star systems, with Ye Liuyun’s two armies stationed there, Jiang Yuantang estimated that even if he sent another hundred thousand praetorian, they would likely be no match for those two armies.

He had already dispatched three hundred thousand praetorian to the planet where Ye Liuyun had originally been, and there was no time to recall them now.

Another two hundred thousand praetorian and numerous powerful warriors had been sent to guard Wanhua Sect, while those dispatched to Xudan Sect hadn’t even made it back before being redirected to the planets near the Barren Sea.

On top of that, the various small detachments of praetorian sent to the different clans and sects added up to a considerable number as well. If he were to send out several hundred thousand more praetorian, even the defenses of the royal city would fall dangerously short.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Yuantang could only focus on holding the Huoyin Star System for now, leaving those two outpost star systems as a problem to be dealt with later.

And that was precisely Ye Liuyun’s purpose in striking on all fronts — to keep the Huoyin Dynasty too occupied to spare any attention for those two outpost star systems, allowing his armies to gather as many resources as possible.

After receiving the news, both Jiang Yuntian and Jiang Yunmu found themselves equally powerless. Even if they had other forces at their disposal, they didn’t dare send them to reinforce the outpost star systems. Martial cultivators were utterly insignificant before an army — they couldn’t withstand a full military assault at all, and sending them would be nothing short of throwing their lives away.

With the dynasty unable to spare any attention for those outpost star systems, all they could do was instruct those systems to evacuate as many resources as possible.

But the bulk of the resources in both outpost star systems had already been specifically targeted the moment Ye Liuyun’s armies made their move, and had long since been plundered clean.

Now, the two Demon Clan legions and the Death Legion were splitting their forces to sweep through the area on all sides, while Cui Daoran and Xiao Heng’s Ninth-Realm soldiers escorted them as protection — and for the most part, there was hardly any need for them to personally intervene.
