With a sweep of his sleeve, Ye Yunfei stored away the flying ship and took a single step into space.
"The Star Nation's army," Ye Yunfei recognized the origin of the troops.
"And these people emitting the aura of death... which faction do they belong to?" Ye Yunfei swept a glance over the Yin Corpse Valley personnel.
"It doesn't matter which faction. Daring to provoke the Heavenly Dao Academy? They'll die!" Ye Yunfei sneered.
The next moment.
Ye Yunfei unleashed his bodily might. His form continuously stretched upwards, transforming in the blink of an eye into a seventy-zhang-tall giant.
BOOM...
Ye Yunfei kicked off mid-air, soaring towards the Star Nation army like a divine mountain.
"Face the enemy!"
Chu Ji led a large contingent, charging out from the headquarters of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
It seemed the forces from both sides were about to clash, engaging in an intense battle.
Just then.
BOOM!
A massive foot descended from the heavens, stomping down on the Star Nation troops at the forefront.
CRASH...
Rampant power poured down from this foot, shaking heaven and earth until the entire space trembled.
THUD!
The several hundred men charging ahead were crushed underfoot, reduced to pulpy masses of flesh.
Then,
This enormous foot lifted and stomped again with lightning speed, raised, stomped, raised, stomped...
In the span of a few breaths, thousands of Star Nation troops at the front were trampled into dust.
What was going on?!
This scene left everyone somewhat dumbfounded.
Then, the crowd's gazes followed the giant foot upwards, where they saw a tall giant standing in mid-air like a Colossal Spirit God.
"Who are you!
We are from the Star Nation..."
The Prime Minister, both shocked and furious, rose into the air, fixing his stare on Ye Yunfei as he shouted sharply.
"Die!"
Ye Yunfei threw a punch, striking towards the Prime Minister with lightning speed.
"You're asking for death!"
The Prime Minister, sensing the power contained within Ye Yunfei's fist, turned pale with fright. He drew a long whip and lashed forward.
"Attack together!"
The five high officials of the Star Nation, knowing the giant before them possessed formidable strength, also charged forward together. Some unleashed their most proficient cultivation methods and martial skills, while others summoned magical treasures, all hurling attacks towards Ye Yunfei.
Both the Prime Minister and these five high officials possessed the strength of the Lightning Tribulation Realm.
The Prime Minister was at the late stage of the Lightning Tribulation Realm.
The five high officials were at the mid-stage of the Lightning Tribulation Realm.
THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!
Six consecutive sounds echoed as the Prime Minister and the five high officials were simultaneously shattered by Ye Yunfei's fist, exploding into six clouds of bloody mist.
Ye Yunfei was now at the late stage of the Sea Dividing Realm, coupled with the bodily strength of Six Jiao. Smashing six Lightning Tribulation Realm experts with a single punch was effortless!
"How is this possible!"
The Star Nation's Grand Preceptor was so frightened his face turned white, a chill creeping from the soles of his feet. He hurriedly hid behind the two gray-robed elders of the Jietian Sect.
"This is pure bodily power!
The quality of this flesh body is excellent!
Haha, I have finally found a superior-grade Corpse Source!"
The black-robed man from Yin Corpse Valley stared fixedly at Ye Yunfei, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Die!"
Ye Yunfei fought with fists and feet, unleashing slaughter as he relentlessly massacred the Star Nation army. In a short while, all the Star Nation troops that had charged into the Heavenly Dao Academy headquarters were annihilated, without a single survivor.
Next,
Ye Yunfei's form rapidly shrunk, returning in a flash to its original appearance.
"It is indeed Young Master Ye!"
Chu Ji was utterly thrilled, rushing with over a dozen Star Bridge Realm experts and high-level members of the Heavenly Dao Academy to Ye Yunfei's side.
"Senior Chu Ji, thank you," Ye Yunfei said to Chu Ji.
"Senior Chu Ji, upon learning the Star Nation's army was coming to deal with our Heavenly Dao Academy, immediately rushed to lend aid.
It's fortunate Senior Chu Ji held the fort, otherwise, I wouldn't have known how to respond," Dean Sima explained.
"So you are Ye Yunfei."
At this moment, the gazes of the two gray-robed elders from the Jietian Sect fixed on Ye Yunfei, one of them speaking up.
Having witnessed Ye Yunfei kill so many of the Star Nation's troops, the expressions of these two gray-robed elders remained completely indifferent and cold, seeming utterly unconcerned with the lives or deaths of that army.
"Yes," Ye Yunfei turned, coldly regarding the two gray-robed elders.
These two gray-robed elders were Domain Realm masters!
"We come from the Jietian Sect.
We have come to inform you: the Demigod herbs on your person, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian within your sister's body — our Jietian Sect has taken a liking to them.
Immediately offer the Demigod herbs and the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian. From now on, our Jietian Sect can grant you and your family shelter.
With our Jietian Sect's protection, not only within the Tianluo Star Sea, but across the entire cosmos, very few beings would dare oppress you."
One of the gray-robed elders spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei's face darkened involuntarily, killing intent swelling infinitely within his gaze.
"Jietian Sect!"
The moment Chu Ji heard these three words, his face turned pale and his legs turned to jelly.
"Young Master Ye! The Jietian Sect hails from the Central Star Sea. It is said to be one of the top ten most fearsome factions in the entire cosmos!"
Chu Ji immediately sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"You've taken a liking to the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian within my sister's body?"
Ye Yunfei asked, his icy gaze fixed on the two gray-robed elders.
"Indeed.
Ye Yunfei, you'd best understand the principle that a man's wealth is his own ruin. Do not vainly cling to something that does not match your own strength.
The news that your sister possesses the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian has already spread.
Within our cosmos, the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian belongs to the most supreme category of Divine Meridians. It is certain to attract contention from countless powerful factions. Do you believe your family's strength is sufficient to protect it?
It would be better to hand over the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian to our Jietian Sect.
In the future, our Jietian Sect will guarantee the safety of your family.
For your family, this is an opportunity."
One of the gray-robed elders explained.
"Ye Yunfei, our Yin Corpse Valley has no interest in your Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian. However, we are quite interested in your corpse and the Demigod herbs on your person.
Tsk tsk, the more I look at this flesh body, the more satisfied I become. The quality is simply superb!
Rest assured, I will certainly not mistreat this flesh body. I will gather a batch of the most precious corpse-refining materials to forge this body into an impenetrable bronze corpse.
In the future, you shall be my most loyal Corpse Guard!"
At this time, the black-robed man from Yin Corpse Valley walked over, sneering as he spoke.
"Yin Corpse Valley!"
Hearing the black-robed man announce his origin, Chu Ji felt a chill of dread rise within his heart.
"Young Master Ye! The strength of Yin Corpra Valley is on par with Jietian Sect, also ranked among the top ten powerful forces in the cosmic expanse.
It is said the people of Yin Corpse Valley are cruel and bloodthirsty, destroying sects everywhere to collect corpses.
There's a mysterious legend regarding Yin Corpse Valley: its backers might be the Netherworld. That the King of Hell sent them to the land of the living to gather corpses!
During this period, these Yin Corpse Valley people have already slaughtered ten factions within our Northern Barrens Domain!"
Chu Ji immediately transmitted sound to Ye Yunfei.
"You've taken a liking to my flesh body?"
Ye Yunfei's cold gaze turned towards the black-robed man as he asked.
"Yes.
And the Demigod herbs on your person.
Let's settle it like this. Hand over the Demigod herbs, then commit suicide.
If so, I can spare the people of the Heavenly Dao Academy.
Otherwise, I will take action personally. After killing you, I will then slaughter every member of this Heavenly Dao Academy, leaving not a single one alive."
A strange smile hung on the black-robed man's lips as he spoke.
"What damnable nonsense is Jietian Sect or Yin Corpse Valley! Daring to provoke me means they're all going to get beaten to death!"
Ye Yunfei uttered, each word separate and deliberate.
BOOM!
The moment the words fell, Ye Yunfei erupted with all his might, taking a single step and rushing forward.
