"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing Level 4 Sui Beasts*720,000, gaining 142 Quintillion experience points, 7.2 billion spirit stones, 720 Sui Geng, 1 Spirit of the Beast God, and reducing talent cooldown by 184 days."
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for leveling up. You have gained 1000 Quintillion free attribute points. Your current player level is 92."
Seeing the ten dragon shadows ascend, Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief. It took the Golden Crow a full seventy-two hours to fly from the third region to the fourth region! This meant that the distance from the third region to the fourth region alone exceeded 1.3 million kilometers!
After entering the fourth region, Ye Yun did not venture further. Instead, he spent four full days traversing horizontally within this fourth region, raising his level to the current 92. He was now three whole levels higher than Wang Chen! His leveling speed averaged almost one level per day, which was incredibly fast.

Effect: Can enhance any single attribute of a player's pet. Each enhancement increases the specified attribute by 10%.

Besides spirit stones and Sui Geng, the only other item dropped by these Sui Beasts was the Spirit of the Beast God. However, the drop rate for this item was extraordinarily low. In all this time, Ye Yun had killed tens of millions of Sui Beasts, yet he had only obtained four 'Spirits of the Beast God'.
Ye Yun had generously used all four of these Spirits of the Beast God to enhance the Golden Crow's speed, pushing it from just over 5,000 m/s to breaking the 7,000 m/s threshold, reaching an impressive 7,580 m/s.
With a speed of 7.5 kilometers per second, this was comparable to the full flight speed of a cultivator in the Sun realm, not just in the game world but even in reality.
"Boss, has Yao Die contacted you recently?"
As the Golden Crow ascended and continued to fly into the distance, Yue Xia, whom he hadn't contacted for a week, suddenly sent him a message.
"Last week she tried to add me as a friend, but I refused. What's going on?"
"Yes, recently I've been receiving messages from old acquaintances in the fourth universe. Yao Die intends for my Seven Clans to join their Futian Empire." Yue Xia's voice was somewhat heavy.
"Oh? Are they planning to subvert the important figures of my Ten Directions Empire?" Ye Yun was taken aback, then chuckled.
"Yes, not just my Seven Clans, but even the commanders of the major legions have been reporting this matter to me these past few days. Your Majesty, I believe it's necessary to implement countermeasures against the Futian Empire. Judging by their actions, Yao Die has likely broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm, preparing for the 'Emperor's Road'."
Within the Ten Directions Empire, it wasn't just the major legion commanders. All cultivators who had reached the level of a True God or above had a divine sense imprint placed upon them by Ye Yun, their lives in his hands. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the Futian Empire's subversion tactics.
Moreover, the soldiers of the Ten Directions Empire had benefited from Ye Yun in both the real and game worlds, their loyalty to him was absolute. Coupled with the recent development trend of the Ten Directions Empire, the Futian Empire would have to pay a significant price even to subvert an ordinary soldier.
"It's fine. We'll proceed at our own pace, steadily advancing." Ye Yun said calmly.
For Ye Yun now, the Emperor's Road was no longer an urgent matter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have limited the number of starfields that the group armies could attack each day. Even so, Ye Yun's quest 'Emperor's Road (4)' was already 84% complete, needing only 1% more to finish.
This did not even include the more than 300 starfields captured by Liu Lang with his thirty million monarchs and Xue Wuchen of the Xue Clan in the fifth universe.
The reason these over 300 starfields were not included in the quest was that 'Emperor's Road 4' required the annexation of 85% of the starfields in any four universes, with the limitation being four universes. Thus, it was understood as taking the four universes with the largest territorial expanse.
"Understood, Your Majesty."
After a moment, Yue Xia replied. As the foremost figure in the Ten Directions Empire's external operations, he understood Ye Yun's intentions perfectly.
Among the major group armies of the Ten Directions Empire, the number of soldiers breaking through to the Extreme Realm reported to him daily was close to twenty. Coupled with the dozens of Quasi-Emperors, it could be said that if Ye Yun wished, the Emperor's Road would be easily achievable.
However, Ye Yun's thought was that he could use the Emperor's Road to mask some of his aura's sensitivity to heavenly tribulations. He did not want to ascend while his child had just been born.
Furthermore, the three sects, three palaces, and six hidden forces had been silent for a long time. Even after their disciples were killed last time, they had not revealed any clues. This made Ye Yun even more hesitant to expand as aggressively as before.
After all, the previous pace had already thrown the administrative departments into chaos, and talents in various fields couldn't keep up. If this continued, and those hidden forces decided to intervene, his Emperor's Road could truly be in jeopardy.
The eleventh universe had now been opened, and soon it would officially border the first and tenth universes, inevitably leading to another storm of conquest.
Ye Yun continued to charge through the fourth region with the Golden Crow. Although the Sui Beasts here respawned twice as fast as in the New Mortal Continent, at Ye Yun's current killing speed, he could travel an incredible distance in seven days. He had to raise his level to 100 as quickly as possible, as there was less than a month left until Ding Yi's due date.
However...
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing Level 3 Deities*1300, gaining 52 million Days of Stone, 1300 Deity Blood Pills, and reducing the cooldown of the talent skill 'Midas Touch' by 156 years."
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for clearing the cooldown of the talent skill 'Midas Touch'."
The surprise came so suddenly that Ye Yun was somewhat taken aback. Ever since Hei Yi underwent the baptism of the Holy Light Pool, the number of deities killed in each encounter had not been less than a thousand. The daily kill count of deities was no less than five thousand.
The highest number of Level 3 deities killed in a single day was over seventy thousand, breaking all previous records.
