"Now, assist me in deploying another batch of even higher-level Formations," Ye Yunfei said.
The most crucial factors in deploying Formations were the materials and the strength level of the array master.
Furthermore, the master's strength level was directly related to one's Soul Power and cultivation realm.
In this period, Ye Yunfei had harvested a truly vast amount of resources of all kinds, and his Soul Power level and cultivation realm had also greatly improved.
Now, Ye Yunfei could deploy even more advanced Formations!
"Excellent!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the higher-ups of Qingyun Palace were all extremely excited.
The previous set of over fifteen hundred Formations had been personally deployed by Ye Yunfei leading them; they already worshipped him beyond measure for his Formation skill.
"Let's begin."
Ye Yunfei took out a large pile of materials and began leading these Qingyun Palace higher-ups in refining various formation foundations and Formation Flags.
The Formations Ye Yunfei intended to set up this time were far more sophisticated than the previous ones.
The number of Formations within Ye Yunfei's memory was simply immense!
Each one was a relatively famous formation from various worlds among the Three Thousand Greater and Lesser Worlds.
Under Ye Yunfei's direction, the Qingyun Palace higher-ups quickly refined a large quantity of formation foundations and Formation Flags.
At this moment, outside the Qingyun Palace headquarters, the forces of the various major factions were attacking the Formations with all their might.
Various weapons, magic treasures, and spiritual energy attacks poured into Qingyun Palace continuously like a torrential downpour.
Since the Qingyun Palace headquarters was enveloped by multiple layers of Formations, these people had no way of seeing that Ye Yunfei was leading his higher-ups in deploying new ones.
A day later.
"Everyone, there are only ten Formations left before we've destroyed them all! Let's push harder!" Deacon Lu of the Taihuang Sect shouted excitedly.
Another half-hour passed.
Boom!
The last Formation shattered and was broken.
Including the perilous zones and death traps, more than half had been breached and could no longer stop the forces of the major factions!
"Excellent!"
Everyone cheered loudly, cries of excitement rising.
"Everyone, let's charge in! Wipe out Ye Yunfei and Qingyun Palace together!" Deacon Murong roared.
It was at this moment.
Ye Yunfei appeared. The Seven Great Bandits, Chu Ji, Dean Sima, Fifth Elder Tang Wu, Sect Master of Earth-Spirit Sect, and other experts lined up in a row behind Ye Yunfei.
With a calm gaze, Ye Yunfei looked at the forces of the various major factions who were just preparing to charge in. The higher-ups behind him stared back with icy-cold eyes.
"Oh? Ye Yunfei, you still appear so composed? The entire Qingyun Palace only has you with decent combat strength; the rest are all trash. And you have already exhausted much of your vitality. Do you truly believe Qingyun Palace still has the capacity to resist us?" Deacon Murong stared at Ye Yunfei and spoke coldly.
His gaze held a trace of apprehension.
Not only Deacon Murong, but the others also felt secret vigilance upon seeing Ye Yunfei.
After all, Ye Yunfei's feat of slaying forty Acupoint Opening Realm experts with one blade strike earlier was far too terrifying.
First, he had slain thirty-two Acupoint Opening Realm experts with one blade in that Illusion Palace, and now another forty with one blade!
In the minds of the people from these major factions, Ye Yunfei had already become an extremely dangerous figure!
"Of course Qingyun Palace has the capacity to resist you. I advise you to leave now if you wish to live, otherwise, you will regret it," Ye Yunfei's icy gaze swept over the forces of these major factions.
"Hmph! How presumptuous! Ye Yunfei, you killed our Jiang Clan's Fifth Elder. Today, I will make you pay in blood!" An old man with vicious eyes stepped forward fiercely and shouted.
This old man was a Deacon from the Jiang Clan of the Tianfu Star Sea!
"Let's attack together! I refuse to believe Ye Yunfei can withstand all of us!" the Jiang Clan deacon bellowed.
Rumble...
Gushing spiritual energy pressure erupted from his body, shaking heaven and earth as if they were about to collapse.
This Jiang Clan deacon was at the late-stage Acupoint Opening Realm, having opened thirty-five vital acupoints within his body!
"Let's attack together! Kill Ye Yunfei! Trample Qingyun Palace to dust! Kill!" The Jiang Clan deacon roared and charged toward Ye Yunfei first.
"Kill!"
The others also shouted, charging toward Ye Yunfei together.
Boom! Boom...
Everyone released their spiritual energy. Immediately, this patch of sky and earth shook violently as if being sifted, with sand flying and stones whirling, smoke and dust billowing forth.
"Palace Master."
The Seven Great Bandits, Dean Sima, Chu Ji, Fifth Elder Tang Wu, and the others stood close beside Ye Yunfei, watching the forces charging toward them with some nervousness.
After all, for these Qingyun Palace higher-ups, the forces of these major factions were simply too powerful.
Any random Acupoint Opening Realm expert could suppress the entire Qingyun Palace—except for Ye Yunfei, of course.
"It's fine."
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, not moving an inch, coldly watching the forces rushing toward him.
"Ye Yunfei, die!"
In the blink of an eye, the Jiang Clan deacon closed in. He took out a longsword and fiercely slashed toward Ye Yunfei.
A sword light as huge as a door plank tore through the sky, cleaving toward Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei neither dodged nor evaded. Suddenly, he stamped his foot on the ground.
Rumble...
A Formation abruptly manifested, appearing in front of Ye Yunfei and unleashing rolling waves of Formation energy.
Boom...
The Jiang Clan deacon's longsword struck the Formation, but it couldn't inflict the slightest damage.
Then, with a twist of his hand seal, Ye Yunfei stirred.
Boom! Boom...
One Formation after another continuously appeared.
Among these Formations were some for defense and others for attack!
Boom! Boom...
The attack Formations erupted with bursts of powerful energy beams, shooting explosively toward the forces of the major factions.
"Aargh..."
Immediately, some caught-off-guard martial artists were blasted into pieces by the Formation energy, dying miserable deaths on the spot.
"Be careful!"
The leading experts from various factions urgently shouted warnings.
Rumble...
As Ye Yunfei continuously activated them, more and more Formations kept emerging.
This time, Ye Yunfei had deployed over three hundred Formations in total!
Every one of them was far more sophisticated than the previous ones!
Originally, deploying so many Formations in such a short time was an extremely difficult task.
But Ye Yunfei's Formation skill was superb; he was too familiar with the deployment methods of these Formations, and thus was able to accomplish it.
Boom! Boom...
The attacking Formations continuously erupted with volleys of dense energy beams, raining down like a storm toward the forces of the major factions.
"Aargh..."
Shrieks of agony rang out incessantly; people kept dying.
Even the Acupoint Opening Realm experts, facing these newly appeared Formations, were forced into panicked, clumsy maneuvers, looking utterly pathetic.
"Retreat! The power of these Formations is too terrifying!"
"Quickly retreat! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"
...
Finally, the forces of these major factions began to buckle, turning to flee outward.
Leaving the ground littered with corpses!
"Palace Master, the power of these Formations is too strong!"
Seeing this scene, the Qingyun Palace higher-ups were all extremely excited.
"With these Formations in place, they cannot breach us. Unless, of course, those major factions send even stronger experts," Ye Yunfei said.
"Next, you all will control these Formations. I need to make a trip to the Sacred Domain," Ye Yunfei added after a moment's thought.
"Palace Master, why are you going to the Sacred Domain?" Chu Ji asked.
"To request a batch of external assistance," Ye Yunfei replied.
"External assistance?"
The surrounding higher-ups were all taken aback.
At this moment, the forces of the major factions had all withdrawn outside the Qingyun Palace headquarters. Recalling the earlier experience, each one of them felt lingering fear.
"Dammit, there are too many Formations inside this Qingyun Palace headquarters! We already spent four or five days destroying over fifteen hundred of them. Who would have thought there would be several hundred more! And these several hundred seem even more powerful!" someone said hatefully.
"With our current strength, we can no longer breach this Qingyun Palace headquarters. We must request reinforcements," Deacon Lu of the Taihuang Sect suddenly said.
The other leading experts from the various factions fell silent for a moment.
Originally, they had thought that with their strength and bringing their forces here, they could easily trample Qingyun Palace.
Who could have imagined they would end up in such a pathetic state.
"Fine, request reinforcements. Everyone, send the situation back to your respective forces. Have the higher-ups dispatch even stronger forces to come."
Soon, everyone agreed.
By this time, Ye Yunfei had already traversed space, stealthily leaving the Qingyun Palace headquarters.
After putting some distance between himself and the headquarters, Ye Yunfei took out the small green boat given by Hun Lao, stepped onto it, activated it, and transformed into a point of light that vanished into the distance.
A short while later, he had already arrived at the Sacred Domain within the Profound Yellow Star Domain, before the Ten-Thousand Beasts Forest.
Ye Yunfei put away the green boat and arrived in a remote valley deep within the core area of the Ten-Thousand Beasts Forest.
Deep inside the valley was a concealed spatial gate.
The other end of this spatial gate led to the Ancient Beast Realm!
Previously, in order to search for Dugu Huan, Ye Yunfei had already entered this Ancient Beast Realm.
Ye Yunfei passed through the spatial gate and entered the Ancient Beast Realm.
"Young man, you've come!"
The moment Ye Yunfei entered the Ancient Beast Realm, a middle-aged man appeared before him.
This middle-aged man's true form was a Suanni!
All the beasts in this Ancient Beast Realm were his subordinates!
Previously, Ye Yunfei had brought over five hundred demon beasts from him back to the Qingyun Palace headquarters. Those demon beasts were currently still stationed within the Qingyun Palace headquarters.
"Senior, I need a batch of even more powerful beasts," Ye Yunfei said directly upon seeing the middle-aged man.
"Oh? In that case, it depends on what level your spatial energy cultivation has reached, determining how powerful a beast you can bring out."
The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment before nodding in reply.
