Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged on the head of one of the Earth Dragons, releasing his Soul Power to sense his surroundings.
Simultaneously, driven by Ye Yunfei, the hundreds of Earth Dragons swam off in different directions.
"That Stone-born Saint Spirit is severely injured. He's bound to head towards the location with the densest earth energy. Earth energy is beneficial for him!"
After searching underground for a moment, this thought suddenly occurred to Ye Yunfei.
Thus, Ye Yunfei closely observed the flow trajectory of the greater earth energy in this area.
"The earth energy is densest in that direction!"
A short while later, Ye Yunfei identified the direction with the most concentrated earth energy. He immediately formed a hand seal and drove all the Earth Dragons, making them roll forward in a vast tide towards that direction.
Soon after.
"There's indeed the aura of that saint spirit!"
Ye Yunfei captured a wisp of a faint, ethereal aura—precisely what that Stone-born Saint Spirit had left behind. This confirmed he was on the right track.
Boom! Rumble rumble...
The four to five hundred Earth Dragons swam and surged beneath the earth. The scene was truly spectacular. Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged on the head of one of the Earth Dragons, carefully extending his Soul Power to sense ahead.
About half an hour later.
The stones ahead suddenly increased in number. Massive boulders, strangely shaped, were embedded deep in the earth. This forward region resembled a nest of stone.
"This should be the place."
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, all the Earth Dragons quieted down, moving gently. Guiding with hand seals, Ye Yunfei had the hundreds of Earth Dragons begin to disperse, encircling this area from all directions.
"First, I'll set up some Earth Formations."
Ye Yunfei took out a large handful of yellow Formation Flags and began casting them out continuously. Propelled by the earth energy, these flags flew in different directions, arriving at their designated positions and inserting themselves there. As his Geomancy skills and spiritual power realm continuously improved, Ye Yunfei's techniques for deploying Earth Formations became increasingly refined.
Moments later, Ye Yunfei had set up a large number of Earth Formations in this area!
Then, Ye Yunfei stood on the head of an Earth Dragon, hands clasped behind his back, and stepped into the forward stone-filled zone.
"It's there."
Ye Yunfei's gaze suddenly fell upon a giant rock in the distance.
"Little human brat, you're quite bold to come seek me out alone."
Suddenly, an icy voice came from within that boulder. With a *Hong!* sound, torrential divine light burst forth from the rock, forcibly illuminating this entire subterranean area.
Then, a stone chariot rolled thunderously out from the rock. The Stone-born Saint Spirit sat cross-legged on the chariot, a pair of eyes like two golden lanterns fixed on Ye Yunfei.
"If you were at your peak, I'd naturally avoid you. However, given your current state, what do I have to fear?"
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands behind his back, shaking his head with a cold laugh.
"Indeed. I am seriously injured. But judging by your strength, killing you would be as easy as turning over my hand," the Saint Spirit replied.
"You can't kill me."
Ye Yunfei shook his head again. His gaze met the Saint Spirit's without a hint of fear.
"Are you a Geomancer?"
The Saint Spirit, taking in the Earth Dragons beneath Ye Yunfei's feet, asked.
"I am," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"What do you want?" The Saint Spirit suddenly inquired.
"I need your essence blood."
Ye Yunfei answered directly.
Upon hearing this, the Saint Spirit fell silent, his sharp gaze fixed firmly on Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei prepared to take action. He understood that although this Saint Spirit was gravely wounded, his combat prowess was still terrifying. Subduing him would inevitably involve a horrific battle.
But Ye Yunfei was confident. Regardless of the outcome, even if he truly couldn't win, he could retreat unscathed.
Boom!
Suddenly, a giant boulder came rolling forward like a mountain peak, smashing towards Ye Yunfei!
Honglonglong...
Ye Yunfei stomped his foot. The vast and mighty earth energy rapidly condensed, and one wall after another continuously materialized, blocking in front of Ye Yunfei.
Boom...!
The attacks from both sides violently collided, causing this section of the underground to shake violently.
Hong! Hong!
With a point of his finger, the Saint Spirit summoned even more massive stones that rolled and crashed towards Ye Yunfei from all directions.
"Mere child's play!"
Ye Yunfei sneered, stomping his foot again. One barrier after another, condensed from earth energy, continually took form, blocking those boulders.
Beneath the earth, earth energy was almost limitless!
"Little human brat, let me test your mettle!"
The Saint Spirit let out a long roar, urged his chariot forward, and swiftly charged towards Ye Yunfei.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei formed a hand seal, and all hundreds of Earth Dragons acted simultaneously. They combined to form a large-scale Earth Formation, surging forth in an imposing tide to assault the Saint Spirit.
The combined attack of over four hundred Earth Dragons was already shocking enough. Now, with them cooperating and forming a profound Earth Formation, the power was even more terrifying.
The Saint Spirit felt immense pressure.
"Kid, you truly are a Geomancer, and one with higher skill than that old human man earlier!" the Saint Spirit roared in anger.
"However, you still can't handle me!"
Hong!
The spear in his hand continuously enlarged. Sweeping it out, it carried terrifyingly extreme oppressive force, as if intending to shatter this entire subterranean area.
Peng!
An Earth Dragon couldn't dodge in time. Struck on its body, half of it exploded on the spot.
But the number of Earth Dragons swarming in to attack was truly overwhelming. For the time being, this Saint Spirit was forced to retreat repeatedly.
"This is only just beginning."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold smile. As soon as he spoke, he pointed his finger.
Honglonglong...
An Earth Formation was activated. Surging earth energy rapidly condensed, materializing into numerous sharp, long arrows aimed at the Saint Spirit. They shot forth like a violent rainstorm.
Clang! Clang...
The Saint Spirit gestured, and pieces of rock quickly moved to block the oncoming arrows.
Next, Ye Yunfei continuously activated more and more Earth Formations, unleashing a variety of different attacks.
Some Earth Formations materialized various weapons and magic treasures. Others summoned numerous ferocious and menacing creatures. Some possessed sealing effects, encircling and trapping the Saint Spirit.
The presence of vast, dense earth energy in this underground region ensured these Earth Formations could unleash their maximum power! For Ye Yunfei, this underground was his main battlefield, granting him every geographical advantage!
While fighting, the Saint Spirit continued his roars. Facing the combined siege of hundreds of Earth Dragons and numerous Earth Formations, he actually stood his ground and refused to retreat. The spear in his hand, infused with terrifying energy, parried every attack.
However, his injuries were severe. As time passed, he began to struggle more and more.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei remained standing afar with his hands behind his back, simply observing the battle! By comparison, that Saint Spirit appeared quite wretched.
"Little human brat, who would have thought that despite your youth, your skill in Geomancy would reach such heights!"
The Saint Spirit shouted towards Ye Yunfei.
"You flatter me," Ye Yunfei replied faintly.
"If we continue fighting like this, I still cannot prevail against you. Young man, let's call a truce."
Suddenly, the Saint Spirit heaved a light sigh.
"I can give you my essence blood."
He continued.
"But you must agree to my request."
"Oh? What request?"
Ye Yunfei, upon hearing this, was taken aback.
