There truly is a mark of the Nether King within this Netherworld Yin Blade, containing a portion of the Nether King's power!
It seems during this period, the blade has absorbed...
Ye Yunfei gazed at that massive silhouette of the Nether King, inwardly musing.
"What is that?"
Members of the Tianxuan Army stared agape at the Nether King's shadow, their hearts trembling with fear.
At the same time, somewhere within the Eastern Barrens.
Eight figures emanating earth-shaking baleful auras streaked across the sky at high speed. Suddenly, these eight figures halted. They were precisely the Eight Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys!
"The aura of the Netherworld Yin Blade is coming from that direction! Let's go!"
One of the Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys said sharply. Then, all eight flew swiftly toward that direction.
True Yang Sect Headquarters.
By now, the battle had completely concluded. All the imprisoned members of the True Yang Sect had been released.
"We thank Young Master Su for leading the army to save us!"
The True Yang Sect's leader, accompanied by over a dozen high-ranking elders, arrived before Ye Yunfei, expressing profuse gratitude. All these elders were those who had refused to surrender.
"No thanks needed. The Corpse World is our common enemy," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"Young Master Su, our True Yang Sect wishes to join the Tianxuan Army and fight the Corpse World together," the Sect Leader spoke up.
"Very well," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves. We move onward," Ye Yunfei announced clearly.
Right at this moment...
Gwaaah! Gwaaah!...
Several blood-curdling, ghost-like shrieks echoed from the distant sky, sending chills down the spines of all who heard them.
"Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys!"
The power of Ye Yunfei's Soul Power was immense. He heard these cries clearly and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"They've finally come looking for me," Ye Yunfei muttered to himself, his gaze turning in the direction of the sounds.
Ye Yunfei naturally knew the purpose of these Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys' visit. During this period, he had used the Netherworld Yin Blade multiple times. It was only a matter of time before those eight monkeys sensed it and came seeking him.
Gwaaah! Gwaaah!...
Several more chilling cries echoed. Then, everyone saw eight dark shadows flying toward them at astonishing speed from afar in the sky.
Boom... rumble...
With the appearance of these eight shadows, an overwhelming tide of dense baleful aura flooded the heavens and earth. Yin winds howled fiercely, and dense, gloomy mists rolled forth as if the gates of hell had been opened.
"It seems to be those eight ghostly monkeys!"
The higher-ups of the Tianxuan Army also realized something was amiss. They all clustered around Ye Yunfei, staring at the eight rapidly approaching Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys. Someone exclaimed in alarm.
"Su Fei! It is indeed you!"
In the blink of an eye, the eight Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys arrived before the True Yang Sect headquarters and halted. Sixteen sinister eyes locked onto Ye Yunfei, filled with bitter malice.
"Is our race's sacred artifact in your possession?" one of them asked in a piercing voice. He was the Holy Son.
"Do you mean this?"
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei manifested the Netherworld Yin Blade. It hovered before him, emanating fearsome baleful energy.
"It is indeed our sacred artifact!"
The eyes of all eight Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys lit up simultaneously, revealing ecstatic expressions.
"The Sacred Artifact has been completely restored!"
The Holy Son, sensing the aura of the Netherworld Yin Blade, cried out in excitement.
Boom...
Overcome with emotion, the Holy Son extended a claw and fiercely swiped. Thick, fog-like baleful energy surged out, soaring hundreds of zhang high, terrifying beyond belief.
This Holy Son possessed the greatest strength. Ordinary masters at the Dao Origin Realm were no match for him.
"Just as I thought. This Netherworld Yin Blade can absorb the energy of these Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys."
At that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly smiled. Because he discovered the Netherworld Yin Blade was actively absorbing the energy and laws released by the Holy Son! This blade could devour all manner of sinister, yin-type energies and laws of the world to enhance its power!
"You won't be taking this blade," Ye Yunfei said with a faint smile, already gripping the Netherworld Yin Blade in his hand. Then, he swung the blade forward in a slashing motion.
Whoosh...
Dense, swarming black runes surged forth like a tide, instantly engulfing a vast expanse of space.
The eight Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys were horrified to find their bodies directly sealed by a terrifying energy, unable to move!
Whoosh...
The energy released by these eight Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys was absorbed by the black longsword, surging into its blade!
"Impossible! This is my race's sealing secret technique! How can a mere human boy cultivate it?!"
The Holy Son roared furiously, struggling with all his might. The other seven monkeys also struggled desperately, emitting sharp, strange shrieks.
Swoosh! Swoosh!...
Finally, after a moment of struggle, the eight Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys barely managed to break free from the sealing force. They retreated a considerable distance, their gazes locked on Ye Yunfei with unparalleled hatred.
"You are human! How can you refine the Netherworld Yin Blade? And cultivate my race's sealing secret technique?" The Holy Son's voice was bone-chillingly cold and sharp as he demanded an answer.
The Netherworld Yin Blade contained a vast amount of yin-cold attribute baleful energy and the mark of the Nether King, making it extremely treacherous and difficult for human martial artists to refine. However, Ye Yunfei had even refined an Emperor-ranked magical treasure. There were few treasures under heaven he could not refine.
"Boy, this blade is my race's sacred artifact. Return it to me immediately!" the Holy Son stared at Ye Yunfei and said coldly. The other seven Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys added their cacophony of strange cries.
"Now, it belongs to me," Ye Yunfei answered calmly, gripping the black longsword.
"Attack!" the Holy Son roared.
Boom! Boom!...
The eight Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys erupted with full power. Eerie, jade-green flames rose from their bodies, like eight verdant volcanoes erupting toward the heavens, dyeing that portion of the sky a chilling green.
"Die!"
The Holy Son let out a long, piercing howl and charged toward Ye Yunfei, with the other seven close behind. The energy they unleashed caused heaven and earth to tremble violently.
Eight pairs of pitch-black monkey claws constantly grew larger. Cold, sinister talons extended, sharp as hooks, tearing through space as they simultaneously swiped toward Ye Yunfei.
"Let's go help Young Master Su!"
The Tianxuan Continent leaders bellowed one after another, wanting to charge forward.
"No need to come! I'll deal with them myself!" Ye Yunfei shouted.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei raised the blade and executed a sweeping horizontal slash, unleashing the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Sealing Art once again. Black runes surged forth like surging waves.
Instantly, heaven and earth were sealed once more!
The figures of the eight Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys halted once again, frozen in place.
"No! The Sacred Blade is devouring my energy!"
One of the Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys screamed in panic. The others also showed terrified expressions, realizing the energy within their bodies was being drawn out, continuously escaping through their bodies to converge toward the black longsword in Ye Yunfei's hand!
"Excellent," Ye Yunfei nodded, feeling immensely satisfied with the Netherworld Yin Blade's power.
This blade seemed particularly effective in suppressing these Sky-Soaring Nether Monkeys!
"Since you've come, don't think of leaving," Ye Yunfei sneered, lifting the Netherworld Yin Blade as thick killing intent poured forth.
