Nao Uzumaki screamed out.
She tried to warn Ye Liang, but the Yomi Leader's energy sphere came flying too fast! Before her voice could reach Ye Liang's ears, the red orb had already been launched!
The orb was like a fireball!
Wherever it passed, scorching heat waves rose up, evaporating various types of grass and earth with its strange red energy source.
Ye Liang turned his head in disbelief.
By then, the red orb was already right in front of him—only a phone's distance away! The moment it touched his skin, he felt the searing heat!
"Damn it! No time!"
Even half a second of contact made his pores feel dried out.
Just at that moment!
The round orb that originally only existed in the System Space suddenly appeared above the two of them, hovering high like a god watching over them. It spun rapidly!
Two crimson laser beams shot down from the sky!
[*Warning*] "Threat detected! Host faces imminent death! Initiating final emergency protocol!"
There was no explosion, no cries of pain!
As soon as the red energy orb was struck by the laser beam, it vanished—as though completely erased from this world.
Ye Liang stared blankly at the Yomi Leader.
At this moment, he finally spotted the Yomi Leader's weakness.
When it opened its mouth to shoot the red orb at Ye Liang, a smooth, glossy large pearl glimmered inside its throat.
"So *that's* where it was! No wonder I couldn't find it before!"
Once the weakness was found, it was time to attack.
Ye Liang charged in with the ferocity of a tiger straight into the Yomi Leader's mouth. Just as Nao Uzumaki's eyes widened in shock, the Yomi Leader's body instantly shattered into pieces!
It shattered into pieces, streaked with a flash of white light!
"He actually did it!"
Nao Uzumaki gasped in astonishment!
The Yomi Leader was the strongest humanoid Yomigami in this entire Wilderness.
Its strength could even briefly hold off Shirabe Mikamitsu. To Uzumaki Nao, anyone who escaped alive from it was already incredibly lucky!
And yet Ye Liang had killed it!
"You... are you even human anymore?!"
Ye Liang walked over.
"Come on, is that any way to talk?" He grumbled with a sigh, dragging a massive slab of bloody flesh toward her.
"I remember you saying earlier something about needing ingredients for a birthday feast. How about this piece?" He tossed a chunk of the Yomi Leader's meat toward her.
Nao Uzumaki quickly raised both hands to catch it.
The Yomi Leader's body was simply too massive. Even broken into pieces, the lump Ye Liang threw was dozens of pounds heavy, and she immediately fell flat on her back from its weight.
She gently stroked the flesh, sensing dark aura drifting within.
"Plenty! This alone is enough! With this meat, we've already won first place in this hunting competition."
"Just one piece?!" Ye Liang asked.
"It's true! The Yomi Leader is a Level 3 Yomigami. Among all Yomigami, the highest level is only 5. Catching even a Level 2 Yomi Guide like Ichiro Matsushita did was already extraordinary!"
"He can't do it!" she added.
Ye Liang nodded slightly.
From this piece of flesh belonging to the Yomi Leader, he could sense an extremely powerful Death Qi!
This Death Qi was more than the total amount he had cultivated previously!
Of course, if it was merely a matter of quantity, it wouldn't have caught his attention.
The main thing was how rich and pure this energy felt!
It was like Ye Liang's own Death Qi—though not as vast or mighty as the Death Qi of this entire world, its purity far exceeded that of ordinary Death Qi by countless times!
The Yomi Leader's energy was exactly the same!
Ye Liang speculated that if he could completely absorb the Yomi Leader's power, his strength would definitely increase several times over!
"Oh right, should we still look for a Yomi Guide?" Ye Liang asked.
"Don't we already have a Yomi Leader?"
"No no! We should still keep looking." Ye Liang helped the injured Nao Uzumaki to her feet.
Are you kidding!
Such powerful ability, how could he possibly give it to Mikamitsu Shirabe!
Ye Liang chuckled awkwardly.
There were still three days until Mikamitsu Shirabe's birthday banquet, and this flesh of the Yomi Leader, he planned to enjoy all by himself!
The following morning.
The two of them awoke from their sleep.
Since they had consumed quite a bit of the Yomi Leader's flesh last night, Ye Liang's body was already completely filled with the Yomi Leader's energy. He didn't plan to move today and wanted to properly cultivate his skills.
"Why don't you go scout around for any Yomigami? I'll just lie down a little longer."
"Okay." Nao Uzumaki obediently left the spring area.
After yesterday's fierce fight with the Yomi Leader, it made perfect sense to Nao Uzumaki that Ye Liang would need to rest today.
"Take good care of yourself. I'll be acting alone today."
"Okay."
Only after watching Nao Uzumaki truly leave did Ye Liang solemnly sit down cross-legged.
"System, come out and say something?" Ye Liang asked with his eyes closed.
The system hadn't responded at all last night.
Ye Liang had tried to put the remaining pieces of the Yomi Leader's flesh into his Spatial Dimension, but the system seemed to have completely disappeared, showing absolutely no reaction, as if it was no longer there.
"What's going on? Where did that brat go?" Ye Liang scratched his head.
The battle yesterday had been too intense, and he hadn't noticed the system's prompts.
"Could it be taking a break?"
The last system update had also involved a long period of dormancy. Since he couldn't view the System Dashboard here, this was the only guess he could make.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking too much.
Ye Liang adjusted his posture once again.
Since his body was filled with excess energy, he should focus on cultivating properly.
Turning all these excess resources into tangible gains was exactly what a transmigrator should do!
Closing his eyes.
A faint current of air appeared around his body.
Body Tempering Technique naturally generated a current that flowed through the entire body when practiced.
Ye Liang normally wouldn't pay much attention to it.
But today's current was indeed strange. As it spread across his body, it actually generated small electrical pulses!
Like charged particles in matter, even the smallest trace of Death Qi carried a hint of electric current.
"What exactly is going on? Why is this Dark Aura being absorbed so slowly?"
Ye Liang felt confused.
[Body Tempering Technique] He followed its method. Despite refining for a long time, only a small amount of Death Qi entered his body.
This speed wasn't even as fast as usual!
"Could it be because of its high purity?" he speculated.
Because his eyes were closed, he didn't notice the abnormality within the Death Qi.
He shook his head again, pushing the thought aside.
Ye Liang, a total newbie to cultivation, just shrugged it off!
As long as there was progress,
who cares if it was slow?
"Cultivate!"
The surrounding electrons began behaving strangely.
As more and more gathered, they slowly drilled back into Ye Liang's body!
Unaware of what was happening, he kept reciting the incantation, absorbing as usual.
His spiritual nodes gradually opened.
