“There's a subterranean palace here!”
Soon, those groups above discovered the crimson palace deep within the earth.
“The aura of the Heavenly Dao Tower is emanating from that subterranean palace!”
The masters skilled in divination became extremely excited upon seeing the crimson palace.
Boom…
Figures radiating sharp auras charged with full force toward the palace's gate.
Inside the subterranean palace, with a mere thought, Ye Yunfei summoned his Blood Clan Clone from within the Phantom Tower.
Then, Ye Yunfei brought Hun Lao and the Heavenly Dao Tower with him, directly teleporting into the Phantom Tower.
“Hun Lao, suppress the Heavenly Dao Tower's aura immediately!”
Ye Yunfei instructed.
Hun Lao promptly suppressed the tower's aura.
The Heavenly Dao Tower had been left behind by Great Emperor Gu Huang. Having once followed Gu Huang the Great, Hun Lao was extremely familiar with the tower and could control it to a certain degree.
Boom…
The palace gate was shattered in an instant.
Whoosh whoosh…
Figures rushed in at high speed.
“What is that?!”
As soon as they charged into the palace, they saw the Blood Clan Clone shrouded in billowing blood mist, each one exclaiming in shock.
Roar…
The Blood Clan Clone let out a low, menacing roar.
Then, it waved its hand, unleashing a mysterious power of law.
Gurgle gurgle…
Those who had rushed into the palace immediately felt their blood within their bodies stirring as if summoned, boiling like seething water.
Bang bang bang…
Then, their blood vessels began to expand continuously before bursting one after another. Streams of bright red blood erupted from their bodies, cascading toward the Blood Clan Clone.
Although the Blood Clan member's soul body had perished, the instincts of its physical form remained and could easily summon the blood of other living beings.
“What's happening?!
My blood vessels are bursting, my blood is flying away!”
“It's terrifying!
This is a blood-sucking monster! Run!”
...
On the spot, more than half of the people turned and fled from the palace. Their bodies began to wither, visibly emaciated.
“This Blood Clan member was undoubtedly a terrifyingly powerful being in life. Even a few residual instinctual will left in its body possess such formidable strength!”
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but think to himself.
It was worth noting that among those who forced their way into the palace were some Sea Transformation Realm experts. Caught off-guard, even they had a portion of their blood sucked away by the clone.
Some weaker martial artists had almost all their blood drained, looking like desiccated corpses. They only managed a few steps before collapsing onto the ground, barely clinging to life.
However, these groups were all of notable origins, carrying many elixirs to replenish their vitality and spiritual energy on their persons. They hurriedly retrieved and consumed them, barely managing to hold on.
“Everyone, do not fear!
Attack together and kill this monster!”
“The Heavenly Dao Tower must be on him!”
“For the Heavenly Dao Tower, we fight!”
...
Quickly, organized by the Sea Transformation Realm experts, many turned back, unleashing a barrage of ferocious attacks directed at the Blood Clan Clone.
Simultaneously, even more forces above ground were continuously pouring down into the subterranean palace.
“Time to leave.”
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Whoosh!
The Blood Clan Clone suddenly transformed into a crimson streak of light, darting upwards toward the surface.
“That monster is trying to escape!
Stop it!”
The forces within the palace scrambled in pursuit.
In less than a breath's time, the Blood Clan Clone broke through to the surface and sped toward the distance.
“It's over there!
After it!”
The Sea Transformation Realm experts were the first to give chase, pursuing the Blood Clan Clone.
Then, the other forces followed in a vast and imposing pursuit.
Whoosh!
The Blood Clan Clone vanished behind a barren, blood-red peak.
Whoosh!
The Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared, carrying the Blood Clan Clone directly into the depths of space, disappearing without a trace.
Moments later, figures arrived transversely through the air, chasing around to the back of the mountain peak.
But behind the peak, there was nothing!
“Where is that monster? How did it vanish?!”
“Search!
Even if we have to turn this star inside out, find that monster!”
...
Batch after batch of forces began searching the area.
Far away in the starry sky, on a large meteorite, a figure suddenly stepped out from deep within space.
It was none other than Ye Yunfei!
“I hope these guys stop focusing their attention on the Qingyun Palace.”
Ye Yunfei stood in the distant starry sky, gazing at the distant Red Star, muttering to himself.
His primary purpose for coming here had been to have the Heavenly Dao Tower release its aura, diverting attention.
Now, that objective was achieved!
Ye Yunfei swept a glance at the distant Red Star, then turned, stepping through into the depths of space, vanishing once more.
Not long after, far away in the starry sky, a starship silently appeared and departed swiftly.
“A fragmented Chaos Universe might hold quite a few opportunities. I should go see.
Besides, it's time to go see Qing Luo.”
Inside the starship, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, speaking to himself.
Ever since Su Qingluo was taken away back in the Tianxuan Continent, Ye Yunfei had not seen her. Now that he knew her whereabouts, he naturally wished to hurry and meet her.
“Qing Luo, we'll be able to meet soon.”
An image of the girl who seemed as pure as a lotus flower emerging from water surfaced in Ye Yunfei's mind, filling him with anticipation.
“However, according to the Primordial Observatory Master, it will be about a month before the major powers dispatch their forces to formally enter that Chaos Universe. So, there's no hurry. I'll take my time getting there.”
Ye Yunfei said.
Both Ruan Qing and the Primordial Observatory Master had already informed Ye Yunfei of the location of that fragmented Chaos Universe.
The starship grew farther and farther from Red Star. Before long, it left the Purple Moon Star Sea, flying through the vast cosmic void.
The starship Ye Yunfei was currently using had been taken from Ruan Qing's possession. It was a very high-grade vessel, particularly suited for long-distance voyages in cosmic space—safe, exceptionally fast, and capable of effortlessly handling the various dangers present in the cosmic void.
“Kid, you haven't forgotten about me, have you?”
At that moment, a voice transmission suddenly echoed in Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea. It was the Giant Arm.
“I haven't forgotten.”
Ye Yunfei chuckled.
“Good. Then hurry and help me restore the strength of the other parts of my body.”
The Giant Arm said.
“Alright. Tell me the locations of the other parts of your body. If the journey isn't too far, I'll make time for it now.”
Ye Yunfei pondered for a moment before replying.
At the same time.
Within the Sacred Region of the Xuanhuang Star Domain.
Ten Thousand Beasts Forest.
In a valley at the heart of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest.
Deep within this valley lay the entrance and exit to the Ancient Beast Realm.
However, at that moment, the shimmering gate had vanished without a trace.
This light gate was a spatial portal that would manifest at certain times due to fluctuations in the surrounding spatial-temporal energy and laws.
But after a period, it would automatically conceal itself once more.
Within the Ancient Beast Realm.
A mountain peak soaring straight into the clouds continually erupted with immense amounts of dazzling blade energy.
The Blade Mountain!
Upon the Blade Mountain, within a palace shaped like a blade, stood a statue.
“Master, please rest assured. In the future, I will definitely go to the Blade Realm, avenge our sect, and restore our school's glory!”
A young man knelt before the statue, declaring loudly.
If Ye Yunfei were here, he would immediately recognize this young man as Dugu Huan!
“Mm, my dear disciple, you may depart now. Go experience the world, go grow.
Our lineage faced a great calamity in the past and has vanished for an extremely long stretch of the river of history. I hope you can revive the heroic stature our sect once possessed.”
An aged voice, permeated with the vicissitudes of history, emanated from the statue.
