"Are you all looking for me?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out as Ye Yunfei ascended into the air step by step.
Shangguan Han and the others had no choice but to follow cautiously behind Ye Yunfei.
Immediately, numerous imposing gazes turned towards Ye Yunfei.
"Are you Ye Yunfei?"
That saber-carrying, burly man demanded harshly.
"Correct. I am Ye Yunfei."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Twenty terrifying beings stood simultaneously in the sky above the Heavenly Beast Forest, an awe-inspiring sight.
Yet, facing these twenty beings, Ye Yunfei showed not a trace of fear; his expression was exceptionally calm.
"Impressive. Tender in years, your cultivation realm is as insignificant as an ant, yet you show no fear before us. Just this level of mental fortitude is quite exceptional."
A monk nodded in praise.
The other beings also secretly nodded in agreement.
It must be understood, with their strength, crossing the void and entering this lower world was like deities descending to the mortal world, utterly crushing everything. All the martial practitioners in this world who encountered them were scared out of their wits, their legs trembling in fear. None dared to be as composed as Ye Yunfei in their presence.
"Boy, you truly aren't afraid of us!"
The saber-carrying, burly man suddenly took a step forward, his face contorted like a wrathful Vajra guardian, roaring ferociously.
*Hong long long…*
A terrifying pressure of energy, like a torrential river crashing down, violently surged towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's body wobbled slightly, but he wasn't significantly affected.
"Interesting."
The burly man was taken aback.
With his strength, the energy pressure he released could shatter dozens of Dao Molding Realm practitioners with a single burst! Yet Ye Yunfei was completely unharmed.
"However, in my eyes, you are still an ant. A slightly stronger ant. Now, hand over the Heavenly Dao Tower immediately! Otherwise, death!"
The burly man's hand shot out like lightning, continuously enlarging as it reached towards Ye Yunfei.
*Ka cha…*
Thick bolts of lightning crackled and erupted from his palm, instantly transforming into a sea of thunder, its imposing aura terrifying.
*Hong hong…*
Seeing this burly man make his move, how could the other beings from the outside world fall behind? They, too, extended large hands, reaching towards Ye Yunfei from all directions.
Everyone feared someone else might take the lead and seize the Heavenly Dao Tower from Ye Yunfei's possession.
For a moment, palms stretched across the heavens, blotting out the light, descending upon Ye Yunfei like colossal clouds. Some palms birthed lightning, some spat fire, others were wreathed in black mist, and yet others bore projections of fierce beasts…
At that moment, the starry sky paled, all things trembled, and an immense, unimaginable pressure enveloped the heavens and the earth.
"Oh no!"
Dao Molding Realm experts like Shangguan Han, the gray-robed elder, and the Ice Demon all felt their bodies completely immobilized, unable to move a muscle.
"Groarr!"
Suddenly, the Ice Demon let out a great roar, seeming utterly unwilling.
The Ice Demon race was originally an immensely powerful lineage. This Ice Demon simply hadn't truly matured yet. But now, faced with this terrifying pressure, the racial bloodline within his body seemed to sense a provocation and reacted.
*Gulu gulu…*
The blood within the Ice Demon's body actually began to boil, generating wave after wave of powerful ice-cold energy.
The next moment, the Ice Demon could move.
"You bastards! I'll fight you to the death!"
The Ice Demon brandished his great club and roared, about to charge forward.
"As expected of an Ice Demon."
Ye Yunfei watched the furious Ice Demon and revealed a faint smile.
"We won't need to take action. We'll just watch."
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
*Swoosh!*
The moment Ye Yunfei's words fell, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside him and simply waved his hand forward.
A mysterious energy burst forth, spreading forward like a gentle spring breeze.
*Hong hong…*
The twenty beings' palms were all forcefully repelled and sent retreating.
"Impossible!"
The twenty outsiders all wore expressions of disbelief.
This middle-aged man before them seemed utterly ordinary, even lacking any discernible energy fluctuations emanating from his body. Yet, with a seemingly effortless wave, he had repelled their attacks.
These twenty beings knew they had encountered a real master!
"I truly never expected such an expert to exist in this realm. However, he must still die!"
The burly man gave a cold laugh, abruptly drew his long saber, and slashed down.
*Ka cha!*
Purple lightning arcs danced along the saber's spine before the entire saber transformed into a several-hundred-foot-long purple thunder dragon, surging forth with terrifying momentum as it slashed towards the middle-aged man beside Ye Yunfei.
*Hong…*
Wherever the saber-light passed, space itself was rent asunder, leaving a dark, gaping rift!
"Too terrifying! Just this single slash could likely subdue the entire Canghuang Realm!"
Dao Molding Realm experts like Shangguan Han couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
The middle-aged man's expression remained placid as he casually extended his palm forward, appearing unruffled and detached from worldly affairs.
*Hong long long…*
Suddenly, the palm the middle-aged man had extended swelled massively, instantly stretching a thousand feet long. It was like a divine mountain barring the starry sky, wielding an unstoppable force. It directly grasped the incoming purple thunder dragon and gave a slight shake.
*Pop!*
The purple thunder dragon, which had boasted a horrifying presence moments before, now resembled a fragile bubble, bursting and disappearing the moment it was touched.
"How is this possible?!"
The burly man was utterly stupefied. In his hand, only the saber's hilt remained; the blade was gone.
This long saber, infused with Thunder Laws, was his most favored and proficient high-grade magical treasure. He never imagined it would be shattered by a simple grab.
*Hong long long…*
After grabbing and shattering the saber, the middle-aged man's giant hand did not stop. It continued towards the burly man's body.
"Scram!"
The burly man's countenance changed drastically as he turned to flee.
But he was too late.
The middle-aged man's hand seemed enchanted. It flashed forward and directly seized the burly man within its grasp.
"Nooo!"
The burly man was scared out of his wits.
*Pop!*
The next moment, the middle-aged man gave a gentle squeeze, and the burly man shattered directly, transforming into a cloud of bloody mist.
*How is this possible?*
Dead silence filled the scene!
The remaining nineteen outsiders, as well as Dao Molding Realm experts like Shangguan Han, stared dumbfoundedly at this scene.
After entering the Canghuang Realm, this burly man had annihilated at least dozens of factions' forces and massacred over ten planets. His ferocious reputation was well-known.
Yet now, he had died as easily as a chick, crushed by a gentle squeeze.
"Impressive. The Mythical Lion Beast truly lives up to its legend as a divine beast. Though severely injured, it still possesses combat prowess ordinary beings cannot provoke."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Th-this… th-this…"
The nineteen outsiders were speechless, their jaws agape.
They couldn't comprehend why such a dreadfully powerful expert would appear in such a low-level world.
"Everyone, it seems we've encountered a true master. Let's act together. We must first deal with him."
A youth in white robes slowly said.
