"That's right. We are from the Ziwei Sect! We're here to annihilate your Sheng Yuan Sect!" the Second Elder of the Ziwei Sect declared loudly. Having come this far, they had no choice but to put on a tough front.
"Ha! You truly are arrogant! With just this small number of people, you dare spout such nonsense about annihilating my Sheng Yuan Sect!" Dong Jian was so furious he laughed.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Stream after stream of sharp, powerful figures continuously rushed out from the depths of the Sheng Yuan Sect's headquarters. A great number of Sheng Yuan Sect members also appeared endlessly, surrounding the Ziwei Sect's group from all sides. In mere moments, the Ziwei Sect's forces were surrounded.
"Let's see who gets annihilated today!" A tall elder strode through the air towards them, his face filled with rage.
"The Sect Leader is here!" many of the Sheng Yuan Sect members exclaimed.
"Sect Leader, these Ziwei Sect people are far too insolent! They just barged into our headquarters, shouting that they'll destroy our Sheng Yuan Sect! We cannot let them go!" someone yelled.
"Don't worry. None of them will escape today," the elder said, his eyes thick with killing intent.
Seven masters of the Destiny Realm stood shoulder-to-shoulder behind this elder, their eyes fixed on Ye Yunfei and the others, filled with ill will.
*Eight Destiny Realm masters.* This was currently the most elite combat force of the Sheng Yuan Sect. Originally, the sect had fourteen Destiny Realm masters. However, six had been captured by Ye Yunfei when they went to attack the Ziwei Sect and were still imprisoned in the Ziwei Sect's dungeons.
"Su Fei, that's Lu Yuelong, the leader of the Sheng Yuan Sect. Be careful. He's a Late-stage Destiny Realm master," Ziwei Sect's Third Elder sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei as a warning.
"Are you the Ziwei Sect's Senior Brother Su Fei?" Lu Yuelong sized Ye Yunfei up before asking.
Stories about a Senior Brother who had arrived at the Ziwei Sect—one who could summon a gigantic palm and had awakened the tenth-generation ancestors of the Yan Country's royal Zhu family—had long since spread throughout Yan Country. The Sheng Yuan Sect's upper echelons had sent people to specifically investigate Ye Yunfei, so Lu Yuelong had recognized him quite quickly.
"Indeed. I am Su Fei," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Hmph! A mere junior! You're just far too arrogant! This kind of insolence will lead to ruin sooner or later!" Lu Yuelong sneered.
"Enough with your chatter. Today I have come specifically to eradicate your Sheng Yuan Sect," Ye Yunfei said flatly.
"Arrogant! If the full upper echelon of your Ziwei Sect had come en masse, perhaps I'd be slightly more wary. But with only three Destiny Realm cultivators, you dare shout about destroying us? Do you truly not hold my Sheng Yuan Sect in the slightest regard?!" Lu Yuelong's gaze was icy, his face sank like dark water as he coldly spoke.
"Hmph! A wet-behind-the-ears youngster, truly overestimating yourself! Sect Leader, let's act!" a grey-robed elder snapped fiercely. This elder was the Sheng Yuan Sect's Sixth Elder, an Early-stage Destiny Realm master.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!* No sooner had the grey-robed elder finished speaking than the very heavens and earth around them suddenly erupted, the temperature rising sharply. A surge of scorching waves rolled out as if they were now in the height of the blazing mid-summer.
Three enormous golden spheres then erupted from within Ye Yunfei's body, spraying tens of thousands of dazzling golden rays that illuminated the entire realm.
The three golden spheres continuously released massive amounts of golden brilliance, from which roaring flames then sprouted.
*The Three Yangs Bringing Prosperity!* An epiphany manifesting from the third Yang of the Nine-Yang Scripture!
*BOOM!* The three golden spheres rolled slowly above Ye Yunfei's head. The light and heat they unleashed utterly transformed this heaven and earth into the height of summer's blistering heat!
In that moment, everyone present, including those Destiny Realm masters, felt their entire bodies sweltering, their mouths parched, the skin on their bodies beginning to burn.
"Ahh!... It's too hot!"
"Not good! How is my body catching fire?! Save me!"
Some of the weaker Sheng Yuan Sect disciples suddenly discovered that they were rapidly overheating. Some even saw tongues of flame spurting from inside their bodies; their frames burst into fierce flames almost instantly.
Amidst the dazzling, brilliant, and utterly scorching radiance, Ye Yunfei strode forward with his hands clasped behind his back, like the sun's own scion, radiant and glorious beyond description.
"This is an epiphany! It's said only extremely ancient, high-level cultivation arts can cultivate an epiphany during practice! Just what cultivation art is this boy practicing?!" Someone exclaimed in shock.
*An epiphany!* Everyone was thoroughly shocked and in awe. Legend said every kind of epiphany possessed a mysterious power quite distinct from normal energies cultivated in the regular way. Only some ancient, high-level arts even allowed the possibility of one being cultivated!
"Everyone fall back!" Lu Yuelong knew the situation had taken a dire turn and shouted.
But at precisely that moment, Ye Yunfei moved.
*Whoosh!*
In a single step, Ye Yunfei arrived directly before the Sheng Yuan Sect's Sixth Elder, striking out with a single punch.
*BOOM…* The very energies and laws of this heaven and earth reverberated and roared in accordance with his fist.
"Ah…!"
Suppressed by the Three Yangs Bringing Prosperity epiphany, the Sixth Elder was powerless to resist. Ye Yunfei's fist pierced right through his chest, ending his life instantly.
The Blood Clan Clone emerged, seized the Sixth Elder's body, and began drinking.
The blood essence of these Destiny Realm masters was incredibly precious for the Blood Clan Clone; it could rapidly enhance its power.
*Whoosh!*
Another step brought Ye Yunfei in front of another Early-stage Destiny Realm master. Another punch later, this master simply erupted into pieces.
"How is this possible?! This kid is only at the initial stage of the Dao Transformation Realm! Why is his battle strength so terrifying?!" someone yelled.
At this moment, those Destiny Realm experts of the Sheng Yuan Sect scrambled backward desperately.
"Brat, you're seeking death!" Lu Yuelong shouted, both shocked and enraged. He spat from his mouth a miniature emerald-green mountain peak that rapidly expanded, rumbling forward under immense pressure. The emerald peak continued to swell, releasing billowing energy. It was a medium-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact!
Ye Yunfei offered a faint smile. He flicked his sleeve, and ten artifacts shot out, enlarging as they flew. Simultaneously activated, they rumbled forward as if seeking to crush Lu Yuelong beneath them.
*Ten high-grade Heavenly Dao Treasures!*
Having now confirmed that Ancient Sage Gu Yao was injured and had departed, Ye Yunfei could safely use these Heavenly Dao Treasures without fear.
*BOOM! BOOM!*
The simultaneous eruption of ten high-grade Heavenly Dao Treasures, amplified further by the Three Yangs Bringing Prosperity epiphany, unleashed a truly terrifying might.
*Wham!*
That emerald-green mountain peak was directly sent flying, streaking away into the distance.
*Wham! Wham!*
A large swath of Sheng Yuan Sect members behind Lu Yuelong were thrown flying by the blast. Many simply exploded into clouds of blood and mist.
"How can this be?! How are you simultaneously activating ten high-grade Heavenly Dao Treasures?! How did you achieve such a thing?!" Lu Yuelong was forced to retreat several steps in succession, his face drastically changing, his voice filled with disbelief.
He simply could not understand. How could a mere initial stage Dao Transformation Realm cultivator simultaneously activate and control ten high-grade Heavenly Dao Treasures! The Art of Weapon Control was a profoundly advanced secret technique, only mastered by those belonging to ancient great powers or peerless grand powers; the average worldly warrior couldn't even begin to fathom it.
*Boom! Boom!* Ye Yunfei urged the ten high-grade Heavenly Dao Treasures onward, his power surging ahead.
The three enormous golden spheres ceaselessly projected dazzling golden brilliance. Ye Yunfei strolled calmly step-by-step with his hands behind his back, advancing deeper into the Sheng Yuan Sect's headquarters, like a divine scion descending upon the mortal realm. Nothing could stand in his way.
"So *this* is Su Fei's actual battle strength! It seems even we... are no match for him!" From behind Ye Yunfei, the three Ziwei Sect elders stared dumbfounded, scarcely believing their own eyes. They had known Ye Yunfei was powerful, but never had they imagined *this* powerful—able to single-handedly overwhelm an entire Sheng Yuan Sect until they had no strength left to resist!
"Senior Brother Su is truly valiant!"
"Senior Brother Su is peerless!"
All of a sudden, the Ziwei Sect disciples broke out into roaring cheers. At this moment, they held Ye Yunfei in the highest esteem, having elevated him to the status of idol.
