Among the nine Primordial Chaos Realm experts of the Corpse World, two were at the mid-stage, while the other seven, though still at the initial stage, were thoroughly consolidated in this realm.
In comparison, the six Primordial Chaos Realm experts of the Tianxuan Army had only recently broken through!
Relatively speaking, the Tianxuan Army's Primordial Chaos Realm experts were at a disadvantage!
Whoosh whoosh...
One black-robed figure after another continuously stepped out from the ranks of the Corpse World's forces. In the blink of an eye, over seven hundred black-robed individuals had emerged, all of them Dao Origin Realm experts!
Over seven hundred Dao Origin Realm experts!
'So, the main force of the Corpse World truly possesses six to seven hundred Dao Origin Realm experts!
The information was correct!'
The high-ranking members of the Tianxuan Army felt their eyelids twitch uncontrollably at the sight.
"Haha...
Su Fei, now do you understand how powerful the strength of the Corpse World's forces truly is!
Su Fei, today is your death day!"
Patriarch Zhao led a group of Zhao Family elders forward, roaring with wild laughter.
At the same time, the upper echelons of several major factions—the Beast Taming Sect, the Gan Family, the Meng Family, and the Lü Family—also appeared, each wearing sinister grins.
These major forces of the Eastern Barrens also possessed seventy to eighty Dao Origin Realm experts among them!
Combined, the Dao Origin Realm experts within the Corpse World's contingent numbered close to eight hundred!
In contrast, the Tianxuan Army only had a little over a hundred Dao Origin Realm experts!
The disparity in strength between the two sides was vast!
Looking at the overall strength, the Corpse World's forces were more than sufficient to crush the Tianxuan Army!
Nine Primordial Chaos Realm experts and over eight hundred Dao Origin Realm experts stood before the Corpse World's ranks. Together, they unleashed their energy auras, causing the very heavens and earth to tremble violently, as if space itself could no longer bear the pressure and was on the verge of collapsing!
An unimaginably terrifying force surged toward the Tianxuan Army, rolling over them like a mighty tide and forcing the army to retreat a significant distance.
'Disaster!
The strength of the Corpse World's forces is even greater than we imagined!
We shouldn't be taking on the Corpse World's main force head-on like this!
Young Master Su has miscalculated!'
Many within the Tianxuan Army leadership secretly lamented in their hearts.
Several people covertly sent Sound Transmission to Su Fei, discussing whether there was an opportunity to break through and escape.
"Today is my death day?
You're thinking too far ahead.
Who knows, perhaps today will be *your* death day."
Ye Yunfei swept a glance at Patriarch Zhao and replied indifferently.
"Su Fei! Even at death's door, you remain so obstinate! What use is trying to save face now?!
Do you truly believe your Tianxuan Army can withstand the Corpse World's great force?!
Be smart and kneel immediately, kowtow, and beg for mercy! Perhaps if His Highness the Fifth Prince softens his heart, he might spare your dog's life..."
A high-ranking member of the Zhao Family pointed at Ye Yunfei and shouted loudly.
Whoosh!
In that instant, Ye Yunfei willed it and simultaneously executed the Heavenly Soul Sword and the Puppet Soul Threads secret art.
The Heavenly Soul Sword, emitting a terrifying Soul Power aura, and dozens of sinister Puppet Soul Threads materialized within the Soul Sea of this Zhao Family elder, launching an assault on his Soul Body.
"Ahhh!"
Before the Zhao Family elder could finish speaking, his entire body shuddered violently, as if struck by lightning. He was sent flying backward, wailing in agony.
In the past few days, in order to subdue those eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys, Ye Yunfei had absorbed and refined a sea of Soul Force Energy. His Soul Power level had advanced by leaps and bounds, skyrocketing tremendously!
The Heavenly Soul Sword and Puppet Soul Threads Ye Yunfei could now unleash were enough to easily deal with Dao Origin Realm experts.
This was also one reason why Ye Yunfei remained unmoved and unflinching, even when facing seven to eight hundred Corpse World Dao Origin Realm experts!
"Aah... aah..."
That Zhao Family elder was at the early Dao Origin Realm. Struck by the Heavenly Soul Sword and the Puppet Soul Threads, his Soul Body had already suffered severe injuries. He now lay on the ground some distance away, clutching his head and struggling in agonized screams, a sight that chilled the hearts of those who watched.
'Don't finish this fellow off just yet. See if we can subdue him later and make him a slave.'
Ye Yunfei silently thought to himself.
He understood in his heart that while his current Soul Power level was high, subduing Dao Origin Realm experts as slaves was still somewhat challenging; it required continuous practice.
Therefore, he would spare this Zhao Family elder's life, to use him for practice later.
As for those eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys, Ye Yunfei had only managed to forcibly subdue them by relying on the might of the Netherworld Yin Blade and the Nether King's brand.
"Su Fei! You dare harm one of my Zhao Family members! You deserve to die!"
Patriarch Zhao was both shocked and furious.
"Very well. Brat, you dare injure one of my subordinates right before my very eyes. When I capture you, I will treat you very, very specially. Then you will learn what it feels like to live a life worse than death."
The Fifth Prince witnessed this scene and couldn't help but turn cold. He spoke slowly.
Whoosh whoosh...
Just at that moment, eight streaks of black light flashed in from the distance at an astonishing speed, arriving beside the Fifth Prince in the blink of an eye.
"It's the eight great lords!
That is Su Fei! He is the one who took your sacred relic!
Rest assured, Eight Great Lords, we will capture him very soon, after which he will be entirely at your disposal."
The Fifth Prince's expression immediately turned deferential upon seeing the eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys. He eagerly curried favor.
He had the intention of forging ties with these eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys and thus had always been extremely enthusiastic.
"Hm."
The Holy Son gave a noncommittal nod.
"Begin the attack!"
The Fifth Prince raised his hand and fiercely swung it down.
"Aaah..."
Before the Corpse World's forces could charge forward, over a dozen Dao Origin Realm experts screamed simultaneously.
They were all Dao Origin Realm experts from several major factions including the Zhao Family and the Beast Taming Sect.
At nearly the same moment, Ye Yunfei had executed the Heavenly Soul Sword and Puppet Soul Threads, invading their Soul Seas and severely wounding their Soul Bodies.
"Su Fei is behind this!"
Patriarch Zhao gnashed his teeth in rage.
Another three Zhao Family Dao Origin Realm experts fell to the ground, writhing in agony.
"Indeed, I am the one behind this."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold smirk.
Whoosh!
Even as he spoke, Ye Yunfei had already performed the Spatial Transposition technique, appearing amidst the Corpse World's massive army, standing before the dozen or so Dao Origin Realm experts rolling on the ground in distress.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei transmitted all dozen plus wailing Dao Origin Realm experts into the Shadow Tower.
The Soul Bodies of these dozen plus Dao Origin Realm experts were already grievously injured, clinging to life by a thread. As he acted, Ye Yunfei also sealed their cultivation bases, rendering them powerless to resist.
Ye Yunfei's movements were too swift. One by one, the Corpse World's experts could only watch as Ye Yunfei made the dozen Dao Origin Realm experts vanish, before they finally reacted.
"Brat! Die!"
Patriarch Zhao erupted in fury, summoning a sentient magic treasure as he charged at Ye Yunfei to attack.
"Kill him together! Surround him and kill him!"
Seeing that Ye Yunfei had actually dared to appear amidst the Corpse World's army, the Dao Origin Realm experts of the five major factions—the Zhao Family, Beast Taming Sect, Lü Family, Gan Family, and Meng Family—were shocked and outraged. They all sprang into action, swarming forward and encircling Ye Yunfei from all sides.
Rumble...
At this moment, following the Fifth Prince's command, the Corpse World's forces surged forward, launching their assault.
"Attack!"
At Lü Yugang's order, the Tianxuan Army also charged forward to meet them.
At the very forefront were eighty to ninety thousand puppets!
These puppets were all created by Ning Zhongqi leading the disciples of the Ziwei Sect's Puppet Hall, who entered the Shadow Tower and worked day and night to produce them under tight deadlines.
These puppets possessed no life and no consciousness of their own. When fighting, they had no concept of life or death; they knew only slaughter.
"Let's go! Assist Young Master Su in fighting the enemy!"
Lü Yugang and the other high-ranking Tianxuan Army members, seeing Ye Yunfei had taken the initiative to charge into the midst of the Corpse World's army and was now completely surrounded by a large group of Corpse World experts, grew extremely anxious. One by one, they bravely surged forward, intending to fight alongside Ye Yunfei.
