Ye Yunfei also distributed a portion of the cultivation resources suitable for human martial artists to Elder Feng, Tang Wu, and Tang Biao, telling the three of them to find a place to cultivate.
'As for the rest, the Gluttonous Beast will absorb a portion, and another portion will be taken back and handed over to Fifth Elder Tang for distribution and cultivation use,' Ye Yunfei contemplated for a moment before making the decision.
Whoosh...
Mountains of cultivation resources were extracted from those space rings, piled up all around, instantly burying Ye Yunfei within them.
The accumulation over many years by the high-ranking members of the Ancient Demon Race, specially chosen to be offered to the master from the Ancestral Realm, was astonishing both in quality and quantity!
Whoosh...
The Gluttonous Beast surged out from behind Ye Yunfei and began devouring these cultivation resources in massive gulps.
Of the nine divine beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, the Gluttonous Beast alone was not picky; it could absorb and digest any form of energy.
Even treasures containing demonic energy were fair game!
Whoosh, whoosh...
As the amount of cultivation resources it absorbed grew, the aura emanating from the Gluttonous Beast's massive form continuously strengthened, and its power continuously increased!
One month later, the Gluttonous Beast had completely absorbed and digested all the cultivation resources piled around Ye Yunfei.
The Gluttonous Beast's strength had climbed another significant level!
'Now, just relying on the Gluttonous Beast, I can already easily kill mid-level God-Shaping Realm cultivators. Even when confronting a late-stage God-Shaping Realm cultivator head-on, I can put up a decent fight,' Ye Yunfei sensed the aura emanating from the Gluttonous Beast and thought to himself.
'I have finally completely absorbed that demonic soul,' Huang Shang suddenly spoke up.
It could be seen that Huang Shang's Ghost Body now appeared oily and lustrously dark. Ghost Path Laws drifted from its surface, making the area around him haunted with sinister ghost energy, specters wailing and evil howls, turning it into a veritable realm of ghosts.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei discovered that Huang Shang's Ghost Body actually also contained traces of demonic energy laws.
'Elder Huang, it seems you've absorbed far too many Soul Bodies from the Demon Race these past days, to the point where your body is now tainted with a rich aura of demonic laws,' Ye Yunfei couldn't help but chuckle wryly.
'Indeed,' Huang Shang smiled.
'Master, I've also finished absorbing and refining all those cultivation resources,' Hu Miao walked over.
One could tell her strength had increased.
Swoosh!
With a flash of golden light, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also arrived by Ye Yunfei's side, alighting on his shoulder.
Ye Yunfei glanced at the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and couldn't help shaking his head with a bitter smile. Because he found he still couldn't clearly discern this creature's true strength!
'Master, what should we do now?' Hu Miao asked.
'We'll fight our way out directly,' Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
'We'll wreak havoc throughout the Guyao Realm, cause a great amount of destruction, and then return to the North Wasteland Region. The opening date for the Divine Fall Land is approaching; we must hurry.'
'Master, are you confident you can defeat the Three Great Demon Kings and those late-stage God-Shaping Realm old monsters now? Also, if they deploy that great formation again, do you feel capable of dealing with it?' Hu Miao voiced a bit of worry.
'It matters not. Even if I cannot defeat them, they can do nothing to me now,' Ye Yunfei smiled.
'Because, I have this.'
Ye Yunfei waved his hand. A Fiend Seal flew out, erupting with countless incredibly profound demonic law imprints.
'Master! You refined it! But this is a demon-type magic treasure. You're human, yet you could still refine it!' Hu Miao cried out in pleasant surprise.
'Other human martial artists might find it very difficult to refine a demon-type magic treasure. But there is no treasure in this world I cannot refine. Especially mere Innate Treasures.' Ye Yunfei smiled faintly.
Indeed, back in the day, Ye Yunfei had possessed heaps of even Emperor Treasures, let alone a single Innate Treasure. As long as one possessed deep enough understanding of a treasure's materials, construction, properties, and other intrinsic aspects, Ye Yunfei could easily refine most treasures under heaven.
'With my current strength, augmented by an Innate Treasure, I can raise hell in the Guyao Realm and make the Ancient Demon Race suffer considerable losses,' Ye Yunfei said with another faint smile.
'Wonderful! We can finally vent some of this pent-up frustration. Let's go, Master, we'll fight our way out!' Hu Miao shouted, brimming with eagerness.
At this moment.
Outside the spatial passage, Advisor Tiangu, the Three Great Demon Kings, and the other high-ranking Ancient Demons were all still present. Every single one of them looked thoroughly disgruntled.
Originally, they had been on the cusp of obtaining an Innate Treasure this time! Who would have thought they'd end up with nothing at all?
Simultaneously, they clung to a final shred of hope, hoping the master from the Ancestral Realm had not yet left and would suddenly contact them again.
Thus, these high-ranking Ancient Demons had waited in the square for almost an entire day.
To their disappointment, no further movement had emerged from within that spatial transmission passage.
'It seems the Soul Clone of the master from the Ancestral Realm either met with misfortune or has returned to the Ancestral Realm. Our Ancient Demon Race has missed a golden opportunity!' Finally, Advisor Tiangu sighed in disappointment.
An Innate Treasure! Every one of these high-ranking Ancient Demons felt their hearts bleeding!
'Still waiting for that old demon's Soul Clone? No need to wait any longer. I've already dispatched him.'
Just then, a voice laced with mild ridicule and utter calmness suddenly rang out.
Though calm, this voice sounded like a thunderclap on a clear day to the ears of those Ancient Demon leaders.
'Who's speaking?!' Immediately, all gazes from the Ancient Demon Race swept toward the source of the voice—the spatial rift above the altar!
Then, Ye Yunfei leisurely stepped out of the spatial rift, followed by Hu Miao and Huang Shang.
'Ye Yunfei!'
In that moment, the Three Great Demon Kings, Advisor Tiangu, and all the other Ancient Demons exclaimed simultaneously. Every single one was completely stunned, staring at Ye Yunfei with incredulous eyes.
'Ye Yunfei! This spatial passage connects our Guyao Realm with the Ancestral Realm. Why have you emerged from it?!' After a stunned moment, Advisor Tiangu finally reacted, roaring in a furious frenzy.
'Why I came out from there is none of your concern,' Ye Yunfei replied with a faint smile.
'Arrogant! Ye Yunfei, you just said that master from the Ancestral Realm was killed by you?' Advisor Tiangu recalled Ye Yunfei's previous words.
'Correct. I encountered a Soul Clone of an old demon within this transmission passage. I didn't like the look of him, so I casually got rid of him. Therefore, you need not wait for any reply from him anymore,' Ye Yunfei answered.
'Impossible! A master descending from the Ancestral Realm, even if just a Soul Clone, would certainly possess boundless demonic power. How could you possibly kill him!? Ye Yunfei, you're spouting nonsense!' the Aoyue Demon King roared.
'I'm telling you the facts. It's your choice to believe it or not,' Ye Yunfei said, his smile still faint.
