Under Yi Tianyun's domineering sweep, the Evil Spirit Race members were swiftly annihilated, leaving nothing behind. Naturally, he collected their belongings, especially the storage rings from the God Monarchs and Heaven Monarchs, which contained many valuable items.
The Evil Spirit Race members were notoriously selfish. They hoarded many treasures in their storage rings and rarely shared them with others. They preferred to let items rot in their rings rather than give them away.
When Yi Tianyun opened the storage rings, he was astonished by the contents. Some rings belonged to Heaven Monarchs but contained items usable even by Star Monarchs.
The Evil Spirit Race members kept these items for themselves, refusing to give them away or sell them. They wouldn't even share with their companions. Having spent time in the Evil Spirit Divine Realm, Yi Tianyun understood this selfishness deeply.
Even the elders, who claimed to look after their kin, only did so if it served the Evil Spirit Divine Realm. Otherwise, they wouldn't give away anything, hoarding treasures selfishly.
The elders hoarded mountains of treasures but wouldn't release even a little bit.
"I've collected quite a few treasures again," Yi Tianyun thought with satisfaction. The Evil Spirit Race's selfishness had indirectly increased his wealth.
The storage rings would have been much emptier if there had been more generous warriors. The selfish nature of the Evil Spirit Race made him quite happy.
"Evil Spirit Race, come out and die!"
At that moment, Elder Ji Yue and the others burst out from the planet, their auras at their peak. They had taken various strengthening pills and arranged themselves into battle formations, ready to fight the Evil Spirit Race.
However, when they emerged, they saw Yi Tianyun flying outside. They stood dumbfounded, staring at Yi Tianyun and then at each other, all thinking the same thing: Where were the Evil Spirit Race members?
They had mustered their courage, ready for a life-and-death battle with the Evil Spirit Race. Everything was prepared, but when they came out, it was empty.
They could still feel the lingering aura of battle and the Evil Spirit Race, as well as the revolting smell of their blood.
"Where are the Evil Spirit Race members?" Ji Shui Lian asked in shock, looking at Yi Tianyun.
"What do you think? I sent them to hell. Before you came out, I had already taken care of them." Yi Tianyun shrugged with a faint smile. "Too bad you came out late. Otherwise, I would have saved some for you to play with."
They were stunned, despite expecting it, they were deeply shocked. After all, only Yi Tianyun remained, and the Evil Spirit Race had not retreated. They would have destroyed the planet before retreating. Now, with no one in sight, it was clear Yi Tianyun had killed them all.
Even though they expected it, they were still astonished. The Evil Spirit Generals were dead, and Yi Tianyun's cultivation was astonishingly powerful.
They sensed that Yi Tianyun's cultivation had reached the level of a Heaven Monarch, indeed breaking through from Earth Monarch to Heaven Monarch. But how did he kill a God Monarch?
"This... this is impossible. They had God Monarchs. How could you kill them?" Elder Ji Yu still found it hard to believe. It was too unbelievable.
"These are their storage rings." Yi Tianyun spread his hand, showing the storage rings he had collected, proving they were his spoils of war.
The Spirit Race members wouldn't take Yi Tianyun's spoils. Although their resources had dwindled, they weren't so poor as to covet his loot.
"It's really true..." They looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes. "How did you do it? They had God Monarchs! Fighting across such a gap is too incredible."
They still found it hard to believe and suspected Yi Tianyun might have ambushed them.
"I just threw a spear or two, and they died. It was that simple." Yi Tianyun shrugged.
They were speechless. That explanation was too exaggerated. It was just a couple of spears, so casually said. Those were God Monarchs, not Earth Monarchs or even Star Monarchs!
"Let's not discuss that now. Your scattered elders won't be able to return for now. But I can take you to find them. What do you think?" Yi Tianyun asked.
"Can you find them?" Elder Ji Yu and the others doubted. Even they couldn't find them, so how could Yi Tianyun?
"Brother Tianyun is amazing. He found us, didn't he? Otherwise, he couldn't have rescued us," Ji Tianze chimed in, supporting Yi Tianyun.
"Yes, Brother Tianyun. We shamelessly ask you to help us find the other elders. If you do, we're willing to join your forces! But we require our freedom. You must not interfere with our affairs. If we decide to leave one day, please do not stop us."
Elder Ji Yue was straightforward with Yi Tianyun. "Of course, if we join your forces, we will protect them with our lives and treat them as our own family. We'll also train disciples and teach some of our publicly available Divine Imprints. We don't plan to leave for at least ten thousand years, maybe never."
They were offering a great deal, and it was a fair condition, not taking advantage of Yi Tianyun. A mortal force had little to offer them, so it was a gesture of gratitude.
Yi Tianyun's eyes lit up, and he smiled. "That's not a problem. I absolutely agree to your terms. You will have complete freedom, and we won't interfere with your affairs. We will set up an independent area for you to do as you please."
Yi Tianyun knew what to do. Having the Divine Spirit Race join the Three Realms was a great boon, even if it brought some danger.
But he wasn't worried. The Three Realms could move at any time, so he wasn't afraid of attacks from the Evil Spirit Race.
Moreover, with his current strength, did he fear the Evil Spirit Race? Unless an overwhelming force appeared, he feared nothing.
