Inside the Phantom Tower.
Three years later.
The spiritual power energy within Ye Yunfei's body suddenly began to erupt wildly. Vast, mighty spiritual power roared and surged through his eight divine veins.
Above his head, the golden sphere representing the Second Sun of the Nine-Yang Scripture had already reached a diameter of three thousand meters!
"If I don't enter the Domain Realm now, then when?!"
Ye Yunfei abruptly roared.
Boom! Rumble...
With his roar, a terrifying spiritual pressure as deep and vast as an abyssal ocean erupted from Ye Yunfei's body.
The aura emanating from Ye Yunfei soared at a shocking pace!
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's spiritual power intensity and Soul Power intensity simultaneously underwent a qualitative leap!
"Early Domain Realm."
A moment later, the spiritual power within his body slowly calmed down. Ye Yunfei opened his eyes, exhaled, and spoke unhurriedly.
This round of closed-door cultivation had forcefully pushed his spiritual power realm from the late Sea Opening Realm all the way to the early Domain Realm!
Ye Yunfei lightly clenched his fists. A terrifying rumble of spiritual power emanated from within him.
"With my current spiritual power and Soul Power intensity, I can easily kill Heavenly Thunder Realm experts.
Even if I encounter a Sea Transformation Realm expert, I have the power to fight."
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Above the Domain Realm was the Heavenly Thunder Realm, and above that was the Sea Transformation Realm.
Ye Yunfei possessed the Chaotic Divine Meridians, cultivated the Nine-Yang Scripture, and additionally had battle experience and accumulations of a Heavenly Emperor level. Killing enemies a full major realm above him was child's play!
"Master, you can finally end your seclusion."
Hu Miao came before Ye Yunfei and said.
"Yes," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"It's time to head to the Pang Clan."
Ye Yunfei declared.
Pang Domain.
During this period, the defenses in the Pang Domain were extremely tight.
Teams of elite forces patrolled the star domain, meticulously inspecting every being coming and going from or to Miao Domain.
On Pang Star, the main star of Pang Domain, an even greater number of Pang Clan experts were stationed.
"Over ten days have passed with no sign of Ye Yunfei. I estimate he harbors some apprehension towards our Pang Clan after all, and doesn't dare to attack our doorstep."
Within the Pang Clan's council hall, a large group of Pang Clan high-level members had gathered. One of them spoke aloud, appearing somewhat proud.
"It's normal for Ye Yunfei to have some fear of our Pang Clan.
Our Pang Clan is not like the Miao Clan; we are a true superpower within the Tianluo Star Sea. Moreover, Pang Domain is our territory. Even though Ye Yunfei's strength is formidable, if he chooses to assault us directly and clash head-on with our Pang Clan, he might not necessarily win."
Another high-level member stated.
The other Pang Clan elders nodded in agreement one after another. Their nerves, which had been taut during this period, finally relaxed a little.
Pang Xishan also wore a smile on his face.
During this time, in order to guard against Ye Yunfei's attack, the entire Pang Clan from top to bottom had been very tense. But now, over ten days had passed, and Ye Yunfei seemed to have vanished, leaving no trace.
"We cannot let our guard down; we must maintain vigilance at all times.
This brat Ye Yunfei is too monstrous; his growth speed is far too fast.
Even if he doesn't come now, there's no guarantee he won't come to settle accounts with our Pang Clan in the future.
In short, as long as Ye Yunfei remains alive, our Pang Clan cannot relax."
At this moment, a Grand Elder suddenly spoke with a grave tone.
Upon hearing this Grand Elder's words, the faces of all the Pang Clan high-level members in the hall changed slightly.
Their recently relaxed moods immediately became heavy again.
"Indeed.
As long as Ye Yunfei lives, our Pang Clan cannot relax.
Unless... we find a way to eliminate Ye Yunfei. Only then can our Pang Clan ensure eternal safety."
Pang Xishan slowly let out a sigh.
At the same time.
Out in the void, a spaceship flew unhurriedly towards Pang Domain.
This was Ye Yunfei's spaceship.
Inside the ship, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged.
Hu Miao and Huang Shang stood to his left and right.
"Hu Miao, Elder Huang, it seems your strength has advanced somewhat during this time."
Ye Yunfei asked.
"Yes, Master. While you were in seclusion breaking through, we didn't slack off either.
Among the treasures we harvested in Miao Capital, many were very useful to me and increased my strength significantly.
My current strength allows me to battle Domain Realm mid-stage opponents."
Hu Miao replied.
"I should also be able to battle Domain Realm mid-stage now. Moreover, even a Heavenly Thunder Realm expert probably can't do much to me."
Huang Shang said with a smile.
The Ghost Cultivation Art, as one's realm continuously improves, allowed one to execute all sorts of incredible secret techniques.
Therefore, the true combat power of a Ghost Cultivator was actually quite difficult to judge.
"Master, we'll be arriving at Pang Domain very soon."
Hu Miao said.
"Yes, we'll be there soon."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Halt!
Ahead is Pang Domain. All who come and go must be inspected!
Who are you?!"
Suddenly, ahead in the starry void, a team holding gleaming weapons appeared, blocking the spacecraft's path.
"How dare you! My Master is here. Who dares block our way?!"
Hu Miao's slender figure flashed as she stepped out of the spacecraft, her clear voice reprimanding them.
"Your Master?
Who is your Master?"
The leader of the team hesitated for a moment before asking.
Because important figures and young masters and ladies of noble status frequently came and went from Pang Domain.
"My Master is Ye Yunfei."
Hu Miao stated.
"Your Master is Ye Yunfei?
Oh no! Ye Yunfei is here!"
The squad leader was stunned for a moment before instantly reacting, shouting loudly.
"Report! Ye Yunfei is here!"
The small leader immediately pulled out a communication jade slip and roared into it.
"Scram!"
Hu Miao extended her jade-like palm and pushed forward.
Rumble...
A torrent of demonic power surged forward with a roar, instantly sending that team of Pang Clan members flying far away. Some died, some were injured.
Following that, Ye Yunfei's spacecraft continued forward, entering Pang Domain.
Ye Yunfei was here!
At this moment, the entire Pang Domain was thrown into an uproar over this news.
Furthermore, the news spread outward from Pang Domain at a shocking speed.
After Ye Yunfei's spacecraft entered Pang Domain, it flew towards Pang Star.
Pang Star was the Pang Clan's true headquarters!
It was a relatively large planet, rich in spiritual energy and full of vitality.
Arriving before Pang Star, Ye Yunfei, accompanied by Hu Miao and Huang Shang, walked out of the spacecraft and stood above Pang Star.
Ye Yunfei flicked his sleeve and put away the spacecraft.
Then, Ye Yunfei, with Hu Miao and Huang Shang, began descending step by step towards Pang Star.
"Enemies! Attack!"
Suddenly, a large army soared into the sky from Pang Star, surging towards Ye Yunfei and his two companions.
This was a powerful army, clearly Pang Clan elites at a glance, every soldier strong, exuding an aura of solemn, bloodthirsty killing intent.
With the emergence of this army, this stretch of space trembled.
"Let me handle them. I was just planning to gather a batch of Yin Souls for my cultivation."
Before Ye Yunfei or Hu Miao could make a move, Huang Shang rushed forward first.
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly and did not stop him.
Given Huang Shang's current realm, even if a Heavenly Thunder Realm expert came, there was little they could do to him.
"Ghost Domain!"
Huang Shang uttered a soft cry.
Immediately, a large amount of dark, gloomy ghost energy emerged and rapidly spread, instantly enveloping a vast area of space.
Within it, numerous ghostly shadows flickered intermittently, accompanied by incessant sounds of wails and howls, as if it were a true ghost realm.
Immediately, the Pang Clan forces at the forefront fell into this Ghost Domain.
"Hand over your life..."
One ghostly shadow after another pounced on those Pang Clan members from all directions.
"Are these ghosts?
They're too terrifying!"
"Scram!"
The Pang Clan members began to panic one by one, raising the weapons or artifacts in their hands to blast at the surrounding ghostly shadows.
But it was utterly useless. These ghostly shadows were illusions, condensed by Huang Shang's ghost energy—impossible to fully eradicate.
Instead, swarms of these ghostly shadows converged on them, reaching directly into their Soul Seas, grabbing their Soul Bodies, and desperately pulling them outward.
Ahhh…
Soul Bodies of Pang Clan members were forcibly pulled out one by one, separated from their Soul Seas.
"Hahaha…
Prime nourishment!
Let me absorb them!"
Huang Shang's sinister laughter rang out. With a forceful inhalation, he directly devoured one fresh Soul Body after another.
"Ghost Cultivation Arts are so creepy."
Hu Miao, standing beside Ye Yunfei, stuck out her small, fragrant tongue.
"Elder Huang's Ghost Cultivation Art is only at the entry level.
Those mighty Ghost Cultivators with ghost power vast enough to shake the heavens can simply beckon with a hand and easily capture hundreds of thousands of Soul Bodies of living beings, swallowing them in one mouthful. They wouldn't need to go through as much trouble as Elder Huang here."
Ye Yunfei said with a laugh.
Ahh… Ahh…
Screams continued to ring out one after another. This Pang Clan army was being suppressed by Huang Shang alone, with no ability to fight back!
"Retreat!"
A roar suddenly echoed from Pang Star.
Whoosh… Rustle…
Immediately, the remaining Pang Clan forces scrambled and tumbled as they fled back.
"Let's go in."
Ye Yunfei said indifferently, continuing towards Pang Star with Hu Miao and Huang Shang.
"Ye Yunfei! You forced your way into our Pang Clan's territory, killing and injuring our people! What exactly do you intend? Do you truly think our Pang Clan is an easy target to bully?!"
An old man soared up from Pang Star, standing opposite Ye Yunfei at a distance, demanding.
This old man was a Pang Clan Elder, possessing mid-stage Heavenly Thunder Realm strength!
"My purpose today is obvious. I've come to settle accounts with your Pang Clan."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
"Ye Yunfei, it's true our Pang Clan had some minor grievances with you in the past. But you annihilated dozens of our Pang Clan branch strongholds, killed so many of our Pang Clan members, and even took the lives of more than ten of our Heavenly Thunder Realm experts.
If we tally it up, the accounts between our Pang Clan and you are settled.
Therefore, if you retreat immediately now, our Pang Clan is willing to bury the hatchet with you, to each go our separate ways without further conflict from now on.
What say you?"
The Pang Clan Elder declared loudly.
"Bury the hatchet?
No, that's impossible.
In the past, your Pang Clan bullied my mother. Later, you also bullied my younger sister.
That debt can only be repaid when your Pang Clan is exterminated."
Ye Yunfei said evenly.
"Ye Yunfei, you are far too arrogant!
Do you truly believe you can exterminate our Pang Clan single-handedly..."
The Elder's expression darkened as he raged.
Whoosh!
Before the Elder could finish speaking, Ye Yunfei had already executed the Heavenly Soul Sword, attacking.
Ah!
The Elder let out a miserable cry as his body was flung far backward like a kite with a severed string.
His Soul Body was heavily wounded!
Upon breaking through to the Domain Realm, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power level had also undergone a qualitative leap. The Heavenly Soul Sword he could now unleash was more than capable of easily dealing with a mid-stage Heavenly Thunder Realm cultivator.
Thud!
A black dagger abruptly appeared behind this Pang Clan Elder's skull, piercing directly through it.
Instant kill!
"Damned!
How could Ye Yunfei's strength be so terrifying?!"
On Pang Star, the Pang Clan high-level members witnessed this scene, feeling chills run down their spines one after another.
Instantly killing a mid-stage Heavenly Thunder Realm expert—this signified that Ye Yunfei's combat prowess was truly horrifying!
