Chapter 25: The Universe Ring

Rabbit suddenly said, "Tuoba Ye, you must endure some pain!"

"What?" Tuoba Ye was full of questions!

Rabbit did not answer. In the next moment, Tuoba Ye felt a large amount of energy, even more advanced than primordial energy, rush into his body, wreaking havoc.

"Ah..." Tuoba Ye opened his mouth wide and let out a惨叫.

The power was too overwhelming, and even with his naturally divine physique, he could hardly bear it.

He used his divine consciousness to investigate and found that the energy was extremely violent, directly shattering his meridians and then reconnecting them. This happened several times, and the pain was indescribable.

Tuoba Ye's teeth almost shattered, his body was drenched in sweat, and a layer of dirty black mud covered his body.

Everything was completed in an instant. Tuoba Ye felt his body filled with power, clearly surpassing the level of innate martial deities and entering the Qi Refinement stage.

"Tuoba Ye, I've given you the energy; you have to deal with it yourself. The energy will disappear once used, so you'd better finish quickly," Rabbit said.

After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to rest. Transmitting the energy and improving Tuoba Ye's physique had been extremely draining.

Tuoba Ye was still unaware of all this; he only had the formidable enemy, Dao Feiyang, in front of him.

Dao Feiyang's aura reached its peak, and blood flowed from his seven orifices even more.

"Roar..." He roared and then punched out.

His punch was surrounded by black mist and tinged with a bloody red light.

Before the punch even arrived, the malevolent aura made Tuoba Ye break out in a cold sweat, and his body stiffened.

However, the energy that had just been injected into his body quickly circulated, dispelling the cold, and he felt a wave of comfort.

Listening to Rabbit, Tuoba Ye did not dodge but punched back, using the second form of the Overlord Divine Fist, the Overlord Strike.

"Boom!" The fist lights collided, causing a violent explosion that shook the heavens and the earth.

Tuoba Ye had the upper hand. The remaining force of his punch struck Dao Feiyang, sending him flying.

He did not let up, relentlessly attacking with dozens of punches until he killed Dao Feiyang.

Originally, Dao Feiyang had become incredibly powerful after consuming the Blood Soul Pearl.

But the energy Rabbit had infused into Tuoba Ye was even more remarkable, clearly not primordial energy but a higher form of energy.

He exhausted that energy, finally killing Dao Feiyang. The bandits and thieves on Tianyuan Peak were either dead or fled, leaving none behind.

Tuoba Ye's body went limp, and he fell to the ground. He was too exhausted and needed to rest.

The Eight Dragon Guards and Zhan Meng had not gone far. They heard the earth-shattering battle clearly and were very worried about Tuoba Ye.

"Is the young master alright?"

Long Yi said, "The young master is so powerful; he will definitely be fine. I think the one in trouble is the bandit."

After a while, there was no more sound from above.

"Boss, we should go up and check. We don't know what's going on," Long Er said.

Zhan Meng said, "Alright, let's go back. The young master might need our help."

Long Yi nodded and said, "Alright, let's sneak up quietly."

When Zhan Meng and the Eight Dragon Guards approached, they saw the ground covered with corpses, but no sign of Dao Feiyang or Tuoba Ye.

"Find him quickly!" Long Yi said anxiously.

"Zhan Meng, your young master is here," Rabbit said.

"Is the young master alright?" Zhan Meng asked anxiously.

Rabbit smiled and said, "Don't worry, your young master is fine, better than ever."

After saying that, he collapsed on the ground and continued to rest.

He was right; he had not only infused Tuoba Ye with energy but also cleansed and improved his meridians and physique, significantly enhancing his body.

Rabbit, however, was too exhausted to say more.

"Rabbit, are you alright?" Zhan Meng asked with concern.

Back then, they were locked in the same room, always bickering, but they still had feelings for each other.

"I'm fine, just need some rest," Rabbit said weakly.

Long Yi checked Tuoba Ye's condition and relaxed. "The young master is fine, that's great. Everyone, clean up the battlefield and take the heads of the Thirty-Six Bandits. Each head is worth at least ten thousand gold coins."

"Yes, Boss!" The Eight Dragon Guards were extremely excited.

They had successfully eliminated the Thirty-Six Bandits, completing their mission.

When Tuoba Ye woke up, it was already three days later, and they were almost out of the Tian Nan Mountains.

"How did I end up here?" Tuoba Ye asked, still a bit dazed.

Long Yi said, "Young master, we went back and found you unconscious. We cleaned up the battlefield and then left Tianyuan Peak with you."

"Did you find the treasure vault of the Thirty-Six Bandits?" Tuoba Ye asked.

This was what he was most concerned about. The Thirty-Six Bandits were the strongest bandit group in the Tian Nan Mountains, and their treasure vault must contain a large amount of wealth, which he could not afford to miss.

Long Yi smiled and said, "Young master, Rabbit led us to the treasure vault, and we took everything. The spoils from eliminating the Thirty-Six Bandits exceeded expectations, totaling over three million gold coins and a large amount of supplies. Oh, and here is a ring, taken from Dao Feiyang's body. Rabbit told us to give it to you."

Tuoba Ye's heart stirred, and he asked, "How is Rabbit?"

"He fell into a deep sleep and said he won't wake up for a while," Long Yi said.

Tuoba Ye felt relieved. He took the ring and used his divine consciousness to examine it. It was indeed a spatial treasure, a Universe Ring, containing a vast internal space.

However, the space inside the ring was not large, only about ten meters square.

The ring contained a large pile of gold coins, which Tuoba Ye estimated to be around five million.

Tuoba Ye was not too concerned about the gold coins; his attention was drawn to nine Blood Soul Pearls.

Each Blood Soul Pearl contained a large amount of souls and blood energy, making them valuable treasures.

If he had to collect these himself, it would be a heinous act, but since he had taken them from others, he had no such qualms.

Besides the Blood Soul Pearls, the ring also contained a dozen spirit stones, all of low grade, but still valuable in the cultivation world, far exceeding the value of five million gold coins.

Next to the spirit stones were a few materials for forging, which, though common in the cultivation world, were invaluable.

Among them was a piece of refined gold the size of a head, ten times heavier than the refined gold Tuoba Ye had previously obtained, worth over ten million gold coins.

Though the treasures in the ring were few, each was worth more than the five million gold coins.

Seeing these treasures, Tuoba Ye was not overly excited.

He was certain that the powerful demon who had ordered Dao Feiyang to collect souls and blood energy was not simple. This demon would eventually find out that they had eliminated the Thirty-Six Bandits and, in turn, find the Tuoba family.

Although it was forbidden for cultivators to appear in the secular world and even more forbidden to take action, the demon had no such qualms. Since he dared to have someone collect Blood Soul Pearls in the secular world, he would also dare to take action against the Tuoba family.

This was a significant threat to the Tuoba family, which they would eventually have to face. The Tuoba family was Tuoba Ye's foundation and could not be compromised.

In the end, the karma they had incurred would fall on Tuoba Ye to deal with. If he could not handle it, the Tuoba family would be destroyed.

Both the Universe Ring and the treasures within were extremely valuable, but whether it was worth offending a powerful demon was unclear.

Tuoba Ye had no choice but to accept the Universe Ring and find a way to deal with the demon.

Seeing Tuoba Ye's troubled expression, Long Yi asked, "Young master, are you alright? Are you injured anywhere?"

"I'm fine," Tuoba Ye shook his head.

He began to think about how to buy time and prevent the demon from discovering that they had eliminated the Thirty-Six Bandits too soon.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he would be unable to stop the demon.

Rabbit was indeed powerful, but his performance this time showed that he could not help Tuoba Ye against the demon.

Tuoba Ye had to grow quickly to deal with the demon.

He had only been cultivating for a short time and needed more time to grow.

After much consideration, Tuoba Ye finally came up with a plan: "Long Yi, do not turn in the task for the Thirty-Six Bandits yet, and never mention the Thirty-Six Bandits again. Send a strong member to another city to turn in the task under the name of another adventure team. Remember, do not reveal your identity."

If no one turned in the task for the elimination of the Thirty-Six Bandits, it would raise more suspicion, especially since the reward was a million gold coins, a significant amount.

For now, this was the only way to buy time. As long as the demon could not confirm who had eliminated the Thirty-Six Bandits, he would not act rashly.

"Yes, Young Master!" The Eight Dragon Guards did not ask why and quickly made the necessary arrangements.

Soon, they returned to Nanyun City and turned in the task, receiving nearly two million gold coins.

After turning in the task, they escorted the goods and left Nanyun City.

Long Er quickly parted ways with them to go to another city to turn in the task for the Thirty-Six Bandits.

This required rejoining an adventure team and accepting the task, but Tuoba Ye trusted Long Er to handle it.

The elimination of the bandits in the Tian Nan Mountains caused a stir in Nanyun City.

Nanyun City was the gateway to the southern border, and the Tian Nan Mountains were the biggest obstacle. Many merchant groups had suffered greatly at the hands of the bandits in the Tian Nan Mountains.

The elimination of dozens of bandit groups was a significant event, attracting much attention.

"What! The bandits in the Tian Nan Mountains have been eliminated, and the task was just turned in today. Which adventure team did it?"

"According to rumors, it was the Dragon Soaring Adventure Team, a newly established team that took on all the tasks to eliminate the bandits in the Tian Nan Mountains."

"The Dragon Soaring Adventure Team? Let's go and see!"

Many idle people and merchants wanted to see who the Dragon Soaring Adventure Team was and hoped to form connections with them.

These people were resourceful and quickly found out where Tuoba Ye and his group were staying and rushed over to watch.

Tuoba Ye and his group left the city in time, or they would have been surrounded by a large crowd.

Tuoba Ye wanted to keep a low profile and not let anyone know that they were responsible for the elimination of the bandits.

Long Yi and the others turned in the task very discreetly, going when no one was around.

The threat from the demon made Tuoba Ye feel like he was seeing enemies everywhere.
