Ye Liuyun felt somewhat worried upon seeing this. The tiger-shaped Guardian Divine Seal cultivated by the old man was exceptionally solidified, to the point where even the black and yellow striped patterns were clearly visible. He estimated that the power of this Guardian Divine Seal likely exceeded that of the First Level of Taixu.
"It seems that apart from the insufficient quality of his True Yuan, all other aspects of this old man’s strength, cultivated over many years, have far surpassed the standards of the Taixu Realm. I haven’t cultivated my Guardian Divine Seal for a long time!"
Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly, also thinking that after leaving, he could cultivate his Guardian Divine Seal again; in battle, it would be equivalent to having an extra helper. His Divine Yuan was far less condensed compared to this old man’s and needed further refinement.
After witnessing the old man’s strength, Ye Liuyun realized that his various abilities still fell far short.
He silently put away the surrounding martial cultivators, and also had Luo Yu withdraw the Demon Wolves.
Luo Yu thought he was going to use some major technique and feared injuring those around them, so she followed his instructions and withdrew the Demon Wolves.
However, Ye Liuyun used his Soul Red Pupils to cast an illusion on her, causing her to stand frozen on the spot.
The old man smiled as he looked at Ye Liuyun, waiting for him to make his move.
Ye Liuyun directly took out the God Slaying Bow and said to the old man, "Senior, I know we are no match for you, but we cannot leave empty-handed. I can only use this to fight you!"
The old man looked at the God Slaying Bow and nodded in satisfaction, but he still said with some regret, "Treasures are indeed part of one’s strength, and this can indeed kill me. However, you must have the opportunity to use it!"
"Then I must offend you!" Ye Liuyun said, raising his hand to draw the bow.
The old man’s expression also became solemn. He directly released one of his Divine Souls, rushing toward Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness.
Just from the pressure emitted by the God Slaying Bow, the old man knew he was no match. The God Slaying Bow could unleash power that crossed an entire major realm. Ye Liuyun’s current cultivation was at the Seventh Level of Guiyi, meaning he could use the God Slaying Bow to kill a Seventh Level Taixu martial cultivator. No matter how strong the old man was, he definitely couldn’t withstand it.
Therefore, he could only initiate a Divine Soul attack first, relying on the time advantage of the soul world to strike Ye Liuyun first, preventing him from drawing the bowstring.
When Ye Liuyun saw one of the old man’s Divine Souls charge into his sea of consciousness, he immediately put away the bow.
"Hm?" The old man also possessed two Divine Souls. His remaining Divine Soul was immediately stunned. But immediately after, Ye Liuyun used the power of time, causing time to stand still, and directly pulled his remaining Divine Soul into his own sea of consciousness as well.
Now the old man only had one Divine Soul left, and his soul power was no stronger than Ye Liuyun’s. Therefore, Ye Liuyun could subdue him using the power of time without needing to use the God Slaying Bow, avoiding detection by other martial cultivators.
The ferocious might of the God Slaying Bow was too powerful; if he drew the bow here, probably everyone in the entire secret realm would sense it.
"Is this the power of time?" When Ye Liuyun stopped time, the old man’s Divine Soul wasn’t completely without reaction; he had sensed the cessation of time. Therefore, after his Divine Soul was enveloped by the Myriad Gods Token, he didn’t concern himself with his situation but instead asked Ye Liuyun in surprise.
After his first Divine Soul was controlled by Ye Liuyun’s Myriad Gods Token, he had already guessed that there was a treasure within Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness. Therefore, after his second Divine Soul was pulled in, he didn’t expect to leave again.
He was merely amazed by Ye Liuyun’s power of time. As for his own life and death, he hadn’t cared about it from the start. Today, when he came out of the treasure vault, he hadn’t considered surviving at all. Regardless of whether the opponent could defeat him, his vitality would be exhausted after this battle.
"Indeed, it is the power of time! I have offended you, Senior!" Ye Liuyun still held great respect for such a powerful expert.
However, he still couldn’t let the old man leave. This old man already had the determination to die; if released, he would continue fighting desperately. Ye Liuyun didn’t want the trouble again.
The old man also didn’t care about his own life and death. After examining Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness, he sighed in satisfaction, "Truly, the younger generation is formidable! This way of dying isn’t bad either, saving my Divine Soul from transforming into a Yin-soul and wandering in this secret realm!"
After speaking, his Divine Soul quietly sat down cross-legged to await death, still wearing a smile on his face.
Ye Liuyun also sighed, waiting until the old man’s Divine Soul was weakened before conducting a soul search. The old man sensed it but showed no reaction, allowing him to search freely.
This old man was quite familiar with the resources in the treasure vault—which treasures contained artifact spirits and which weapons contained divine consciousness. With this information, Ye Liuyun could collect the treasures with more precision.
Subsequently, Ye Liuyun handed the old man’s corpse to the Demon Vine: "Don’t waste it!"
Then, without bothering about Luo Yu, he directly walked into the treasure vault and began collecting resources.
The resources within the Hong Tian Dynasty’s treasure vault were no less than those of the Fire Seal Dynasty, and they were all concentrated in this single location. Despite being mentally prepared, Ye Liuyun was still shocked by the resources here.
"Now that’s what I call a true vault!"
Ye Liuyun sighed in admiration and began shoveling storage rings into his Spatial World by the heap. Most of the resources here were kept within storage rings. The first pile of storage rings Ye Liuyun collected were all packed full of various source energies.
Then came the storage rings filled with pills, medicinal herbs, and ores. Every type of resource was arranged in piles of storage rings.
Inside the Spatial World, Lan Xin and the other women had already cried out in shock.
"Which great dynasty did Liuyun rob this time?"
"What kind of massive dynasty could possibly possess so many resources!"
The women who didn’t participate in battle exclaimed one after another, helping to sort through the items together.
The storage rings Ye Liuyun collected next contained equipment for army use—armor, weapons, battleships, and other supplies of every description. Even Void-grade armor and weapons were being collected ring by ring.
Then came cultivation resources for enhancing bloodlines, divine souls, physical bodies, and various special attributes.
The women sorting resources inside his Spatial World were grinning from ear to ear. Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng, meanwhile, were helping Ye Liuyun pick out resources he could use.
However, this wasn’t even the end. The items in these storage rings could only be considered ordinary resources here. There were also resources arranged on shelves, all sealed with true essence to prevent energy from dissipating. These were the truly high-end resources.
A pearl glowing with bloody light, known as the Blood Purification Pearl, was—in the old man’s memories—a treasure capable of purifying bloodlines. It could be used repeatedly by multiple people until the pearl turned black.
A Void Elixir Fruit was a divine fruit used to strengthen one’s primal elixir and replenish true essence when breaking through to the Tai Xu Realm. As long as one’s true essence quality was sufficient, a single fruit could guarantee a breakthrough to the Tai Xu Realm.
A Void-grade Soul Condensing Flower with five black petals remained. According to the old man’s memories, a single petal could allow a person to condense their divine soul by double.
