At this moment, a ferocious beast’s roar echoed faintly from near the exit.
All the beasts hearing this roar, their originally hesitant gazes immediately turned savage. The beasts on both sides of the mountain forest also revealed themselves and surrounded the valley, clearly unable to defeat him alone and now preparing to gang up on him.
"The Beast King?" Ye Liuyun scanned with his Cross-Space Golden Pupils and divine sense but found no trace of the Beast King.
"This voice sounds somewhat familiar... Xuanwu, it’s Xuanwu!"
Ye Liuyun felt he had heard this voice before, though not often. After thinking for a while, he finally realized it was Xuanwu.
Xuanwu frequently concealed himself and rarely made noise normally, so Ye Liuyun didn’t often hear his roars. Only occasionally did Xuanwu roar at the beasts within the secret realm, which was why it took him some time to recognize the voice.
"No wonder I can’t find that Beast King’s figure. A peak ninth-level Xuanwu—I definitely wouldn’t be able to locate him!"
Ye Liuyun thought to himself and immediately communicated with Xuanwu and Xenocide, asking them both to come out and assist him. This would allow them to communicate with that Beast King while also preventing any sudden sneak attacks from it.
Meanwhile, the surrounding demon beasts charged over. Ye Liuyun didn’t dare count on negotiations succeeding for certain, so he immediately swung his blade and led the martial cultivators behind him in an attack first, letting Xuanwu and Xenocide go communicate with the Beast King.
He released all three of his Guardian Divine Seals to assist in battle and test their combat strength. The first avatar only released the Thunderfire Black Diamond Guardian; the second avatar only released the Six-Armed Furious-Eyed Diamond Guardian—neither used Guardian Seals carrying poison sources.
These condensed substantial Guardian Divine Seals stood a hundred zhang tall, not only overwhelming the beasts in presence but also possessing far greater strength than his true body in combat. The power of bloodline they emanated and divine essence attacks they unleashed made it even harder for the beasts to defend against them.
Especially Ye Liuyun’s own image Guardian Seal—clad in red armor, radiating golden light throughout its body—with one swing of its Demon-Slaying Blade could directly kill a beast in a single strike.
However, those martial cultivators behind him were considerably weaker; many were sent flying by beasts upon first contact. But thanks to their void-grade armor and weapons, some could barely hold their ground.
Ye Liuyun then released over sixty late-stage experts from around him as well, letting them undergo elimination through combat against these beasts.
Both sides now had roughly equal numbers, but after fighting briefly, Ye Liuyun’s side had been reduced by half while the beasts’ strength was clearly much higher than theirs. If not for those martial cultivators’ void-grade armor and weapons everyone on their side would have long since perished.
After fighting a while longer only thirty-some martial cultivators remained by Ye Liuyun’s side—all depleted of true essence without combat capability remaining.
Yet under his and Devil Vine’s slaughtering among those beasts their numbers had actually become roughly equal as well!
Luo Yu watching this magnificent battle from behind couldn’t help but marvel inwardly: "When did Return-to-One Ninth Level experts become so worthless like ordinary soldiers!"
But here with Ye Liuyun he seemed deliberately intent on eliminating weaker martial cultivators through attrition!
At this point Ye Liuyun finally collected those remaining martial cultivators into his spatial world then suddenly released six thousand fully armed black-armored elite soldiers!
These six thousand all wore void-grade armor wielded spears shields—their murderous aura forced back even what remained of those ferocious creatures!
Even Luo Yu behind felt this killing intent shock widening her eyes once more while Magic Wolf trembled all over frightened!
"He carries so many experts with him...and they’re all soldiers!"
Luo Yu swallowed hard estimating perhaps only Ye Liuyun capable doing something like this treating ninth-level realm experts as mere soldiers!
And why did Ye Liuyun release these elites? Simply coordinating with Xuanwu Xenocide—they’d found this place’s Xuanwu Beast King negotiating with it who refused believe Ye Liucloud possessed strength destroy them completely!
Ye Liucloud wished avoid mutually destructive struggle either hence releasing these elites demonstrating force should opponent still refuse surrender then he’d have no choice slaughter every last beast completely clean instead...
That Vespera Beast King never expected someone carry such forces either—their beast side similarly depleted true essence nearly exhausted continuing fight meant certain annihilation ahead...
But regarding own strength maintained considerable confidence negotiating back: "What use merely having numbers—I can directly assassinate your leader instead!"
Hereupon coordinated perfectly releasing nine golden dragons encircling himself completely round—nine Void Grade Fourth Level dragon puppets surrounding tightly packed together—even should that invisible king possess strongest concealment abilities impossible approach close enough strike successfully anymore...
Those creatures meanwhile directly frightened retreating far away daring charge forward again whatsoever...
Ye Liuyun also sent a voice transmission to the two Xuanwu demonic beasts: "Tell him that the origin power of this secret realm has already been taken by me. If they stay here, they’ll die anyway.
If he surrenders to me, I can give him the opportunity to transform into a demon, and I’ll also give him a cultivation technique for true essence, allowing him to break through to the Taixu realm. Otherwise, we’ll just kill our way out and leave this place, letting this secret realm disappear completely."
Xuanwu and Xenocide were also doing their best to persuade that Beast King at this moment, using both threats and bribes. The Beast King thought about it and knew he couldn’t harm Ye Liuyun, and he had also seen the origin power in Luo Yu’s hands.
It also knew it didn’t have much choice in the matter, so it finally agreed and revealed its form. Only then did Ye Liuyun see that two other Xuanwu ferocious beasts had appeared alongside it.
However, these Xuanwu had impure bloodlines—their turtle shells weren’t pitch black but showed a slight brownish tint. If their bloodlines had been pure enough, Xuanwu and Xenocide wouldn’t have been able to find them in the first place, nor would they have qualified to negotiate with them.
Moreover, these three Xuanwu ferocious beasts with impure bloodlines only agreed to acknowledge Xuanwu and Xenocide as their masters, unwilling to recognize Ye Liuyun as their master. The other ferocious beasts could all belong to Ye Liuyun though.
Regarding this point, Ye Liuyun didn’t have any objections and directly agreed. Ye Liuyun wasn’t lacking these three ferocious beasts with somewhat impure bloodlines—handing them over to Xuanwu and Xenocide for management would actually be more convenient.
Thus Xuanwu took in these three Xuanwu ferocious beasts with impure bloodlines and returned to his Spatial World to help them transform into demons. The other ferocious beasts were all branded with slave seals by Ye Liuyun and taken into his service.
Then everyone and every beast was recalled into the Spatial World one by one. Most of the ferocious beast corpses were collected by Ye Liuyun into his Spatial World. The Demon Vine only devoured the beasts he himself had killed; he left all other ferocious beast corpses for the other demonic beasts.
"That’s it? You subdued all those ferocious beasts?"
Luo Yu still felt she hadn’t seen enough, even more surprised that Ye Liuyun had subdued so many more ferocious beasts. Now Ye Liuyun’s strength was even greater.
"What, you haven’t had your fill of watching?" Ye Liuyun laughed as well.
"You’re so powerful—of course I want to see more!" Luo Yu said with a smile too
