This Profound Magnetic Mountain had already been refined by Ye Yunfei and carried a trace of his Soul Power within, a marker, making it completely subject to his control.
"Master, the Profound Magnetic Mountain seems... different."
Hu Miao exclaimed as she watched the mountain slowly fly out from the ancient cave.
The Profound Magnetic Mountain of the past emitted a silver radiance. Now, it glowed with a rainbow of seven colors.
Moreover, the energy pressure it now emitted was hundreds of times more potent than before!
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's gaze was fixed upon those five Primordial Magnetic Fruits.
*Buzz...*
Under the control of Ye Yunfei's will, the Profound Magnetic Mountain suddenly began moving slowly towards that plant bearing the fruits.
*Boom! Boom!...*
Just as the mountain approached, the plant suddenly erupted, unleashing rolling waves of Mystic Magnetic Polar Light that swept towards it.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!...*
Streak after streak of the Mystic Magnetic Polar Light struck the Profound Magnetic Mountain like dense steel needles.
Struck repeatedly, the mountain wobbled and flew backward.
*Buzz...*
The next moment, the Profound Magnetic Mountain also erupted with its own rolling seven-colored radiance, clashing with the energy from the plant as it gradually inched closer.
A while later...
Finally, the Profound Magnetic Mountain drew near the plant.
*Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!*
Acting on Ye Yunfei's will, the mountain released a strong attractive force, pulling all five Primordial Magnetic Fruits toward itself.
Profound Magnetic energy not only possessed terrifying destructive power but also had the ability to forcibly attract all metallic substances.
These five Primordial Magnetic Fruits, containing Profound Magnetic energy, inherently possessed metallic properties, allowing the mountain to grasp them.
"Come back!"
Seeing the mountain secure the fruits, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel immense joy. Driven by his will, the Profound Magnetic Mountain suddenly accelerated, shot out of the cave entrance, and returned instantly before him.
*Rumble...*
At this exact moment, a violent disturbance erupted from within the ancient cave, as if some terrifying existence had been provoked and was now roaring in fury.
Following that, a torrential flood of seven-colored polar light, like a burst dam, gushed forth from the cave.
Profound Magnetic energy surged violently, as endless beams of Mystic Magnetic Polar Light shot towards the heavens and pierced the earth.
*Rumble...*
The rolling light illuminated every inch of the sky and land, shattering heaven and splitting earth, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
"Let's go!"
Ye Yunfei's expression drastically changed. With a sweep of his sleeve, he instantly teleported everyone into the Phantom Tower. Then, carrying the Profound Magnetic Mountain in his palm, he activated Spatial Teleportation, rushing with all his might toward this Small World's exit.
*Swish! Swish!...*
His figure flickered continuously, teleporting over and over again.
But behind him, between heaven and earth, those terrifying Mystic Magnetic Polar Lights were chasing after him with astonishing speed.
*Roar! Roar!...*
Soon, many demon beasts and magical creatures within this Small World were startled. Whether avians or ground beasts, they all began fleeing for their lives.
As they fled, they let out roars.
They couldn't understand why the Mystic Magnetic Polar Light, which had just erupted not long ago, was breaking out again in such a short time!
And this time, the speed at which the light spread was frighteningly fast!
*Roar... Roar...*
Some beasts, caught unprepared, were overtaken by the Mystic Magnetic Polar Light. Their physical bodies and Soul Bodies immediately began to dissolve, issuing miserable shrieks.
After about half an hour...
Finally, Ye Yunfei noticed the pursuit speed of the polar light behind him begin to slow. Then, like a receding tide, it gradually retreated back.
"That was close."
Looking back at the retreating light, Ye Yunfei let out a sigh of relief.
Without looking back again, Ye Yunfei left this Small World.
"It's time to leave this stretch of starry sky."
Ye Yunfei headed outwards from this starry expanse. Passing through a channel that crossed a thickly mist-shrouded area, he returned to the cosmic void outside the Chaos Universe.
Looking out, the starry void was now completely empty, devoid of any starships.
"Qing Luo, Xiao Hui, what are your plans?"
Ye Yunfei summoned Su Qingluo and Xiao Hui from the Phantom Tower and asked.
"I am yours. Of course I'm following you."
Su Qingluo cast a beautiful, teasing glance at Ye Yunfei, her eyes rolling slightly. Ever since leaving Yuanyue City and separating from Ye Yunfei, she had missed him intensely. Now reunited, she naturally had no desire to part with him again.
"And you, Xiao Hui?"
Ye Yunfei looked towards Xiao Hui.
"I'd like to go back and see my brother and my family."
Xiao Hui thought for a moment and said.
"Alright. Then let's return to the Tianluo Star Sea together."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"And you, Miss Qiqi? What about you all?"
Ye Yunfei summoned Qiqi, Pan Yi, Xiao Xue, Cai Yan, and over a dozen Taiyi Temple disciples from the Phantom Tower, and inquired.
"We're out?"
Qiqi and the others looked at the starry expanse before them, somewhat surprised. Having remained within the Phantom Tower during this period, they were unaware of what had transpired.
Hu Miao stepped forward and gave them a general account of the events within the incomplete Chaos Universe, mainly that a group of mysterious experts had suddenly appeared, prompting the escape of all young martial artists.
"Such a thing actually happened!"
Hearing Hu Miao's words, Qiqi, Pan Yi, Cai Yan, and the others were greatly shocked.
In the end, Qiqi and Pan Yi both decided to first return to their respective factions.
As for Xiao Xue, Cai Yan, and the Taiyi Temple disciples, they naturally followed Qiqi.
"Here, take these."
Ye Yunfei took out over a dozen spatial rings, handing them respectively to Qiqi and Pan Yi.
"Alright, you may go back."
Ye Yunfei said to the two.
Qiqi and Pan Yi each took out a starship and departed separately.
"We should head back too."
Ye Yunfei retrieved a starship. With Su Qingluo, Xiao Hui, and the others, he boarded and set course for the Tianluo Star Sea.
"Ye Yunfei, when I left, you were still in the Tianxuan Continent. Now, you've reached the starry expanse of the Canghuang Realm, and you can even defeat Acupoint Opening Realm experts!
The years in between... your journey must have been incredibly eventful. Tell me about it."
Xiao Hui asked Ye Yunfei curiously.
"Yes.
I'd like to know too."
Su Qingluo looked at Ye Yunfei and said.
"Let me do it!
I know Master's story better than anyone!"
Before Ye Yunfei could answer, Hu Miao eagerly chimed in.
"Fine then, Hu Miao, tell us!"
Su Qingluo said.
The three women began chatting excitedly within the starship.
Ye Yunfei could only sit by and accompany them.
The starship flew through the boundless cosmic void.
Suddenly.
"Brat, thought you'd died in there. You've finally emerged, huh?"
A cold voice sounded.
*Boom! Boom!...*
Large hands suddenly extended from the surrounding starry void, exuding terrifying energy pressure as they pressed down towards Ye Yunfei's starship.
*Crack...*
Immediately, Ye Yunfei's starship couldn't withstand the pressure. Cracks appeared all over its surface, on the verge of shattering.
"Here they are, as expected!"
A chill ran down Ye Yunfei's spine. With a sweep of his sleeve, he teleported Su Qingluo and the others into the Phantom Tower.
In fact, even before emerging, Ye Yunfei had been mentally prepared.
He knew that after acquiring thirty-two primary Dao artifacts, the major powers of the Canghuang Realm would certainly not let him go.
Moreover, many of those powers had lost elite core disciples to him. They would not give up easily!
Especially the Jiang Family of the Tianfu Star Sea — one of their elders had died because of him. That enmity was something the Jiang Family would surely seek to avenge.
