"Although he isn't dead, he must be heavily wounded. This is our best chance to kill him. Let's give chase!"
One of the assassins quickly regained his composure, took a step forward, traversed deep into space, and gave chase after Ye Yunfei.
The other two assassins also followed, venturing into the depths of space.
The previous fierce battle had almost completely leveled all the mountains for dozens of miles in the area. The ground was left with huge, bottomless fissures, like the gaping maws of monsters.
Many violent energy residues still lingered between heaven and earth, churning and surging tumultuously.
At this moment, if a martial artist with insufficient strength were to pass by this place, they would likely be instantly shredded to pieces by the frenzied energies filling the sky and earth.
Deep within space.
Ye Yunfei, upon entering the depths of space, immediately entered the Phantom Tower, which was then carried away by the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
The three assassins, who had chased into the depths of space, perceived a distant golden light streaking away at extreme speed. Knowing it must be related to Ye Yunfei, they pursued it.
However, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's ability to traverse space was simply too strong. It could be said that once they entered the depths of space, they had entered its domain!
A moment later, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had vanished without a trace.
The three assassins searched back and forth in the depths of space, ultimately realizing they had completely lost their target.
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei took out a huge pile of cultivation resources: medicinal herbs, elixir pills, crystal stones, and various other natural treasures. He activated his Greenwood Emperor Body and began refining and absorbing the energy contained within these resources to repair his body.
The damage inflicted by having three Origin Creation Realm experts stab their swords into his body was terrifying.
Currently, almost every organ and tissue within Ye Yunfei's body was in a shattered state. Thankfully, the life energy of the Greenwood Emperor Body was at work, forcibly adhering the pulverized flesh, blood, and bone fragments together, preventing them from crumbling apart and disintegrating.
"Find a mountainous region with dense forests. I need to heal my injuries," Ye Yunfei sent a mental message to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Understood," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm nodded, speeding through the depths of space.
Not long after, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm finally discovered a vast mountainous region. Over a dozen massive mountain ranges crisscrossed the land, with peaks rising and falling in densely packed succession.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm emerged from the depths of space and plunged headlong into this mountain range.
Ye Yunfei exited the Phantom Tower and sat cross-legged within a patch of primitive forest, operating his Greenwood Emperor Body.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
The biological energy contained in all the surrounding plants, flowers, grasses, and trees was continuously siphoned out, converging into streams of azure energy that surged like rivers towards Ye Yunfei's body, pouring into him to be refined and absorbed.
"Search!
Deploy all our men to scour the entire Eastern Barrens for that kid's whereabouts. He's seriously injured and will definitely need to find a place to recuperate.
Spare no expense to track him down!"
At this moment, the three Origin Creation Realm assassins had emerged from the depths of space and were issuing orders.
Thus, the Tianyou Tomb's intelligence network began rapidly mobilizing. Spies were searching everywhere for any trace of Ye Yunfei.
Although the Tianyou Tomb maintained a very low profile within the Eastern Barrens, its overall strength was formidable. Having operated for a very long time, its intelligence network was highly sophisticated and virtually ubiquitous throughout the Eastern Barrens!
"The most likely place for that kid to go is the Ziwei Sect headquarters!"
One of the assassins pondered, then suggested.
"Right! Dispatch a group of men to the Ziwei Sect headquarters to keep watch!"
The other two assassins nodded in agreement.
"Also, deploy even more manpower. No matter what, we must kill that kid Su Fei!"
One assassin declared.
Subsequently, the three assassins departed in different directions to search for Ye Yunfei's whereabouts.
Soon, two days passed.
Somewhere within the Eastern Barrens, amidst a vast, untamed primordial jungle, seething green mists billowed like an ocean, surging towards a single mountain peak.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged atop the peak, a powerful suction erupting from his body, drawing all the converging green mist into himself.
This green mist was pure life energy!
During these two days of healing, Ye Yunfei had already changed locations several times!
Ye Yunfei's injuries were also beginning to improve.
The Transcendent-level Greenwood Emperor Body granted Ye Yunfei astonishing vitality, making him extremely difficult to kill!
It wasn't just about his internal organs, blood vessels, and bones being shattered; even if most of his physical body were destroyed, or even if half of his Soul Body were annihilated, Ye Yunfei would not perish!
Of course, this wasn't absolute. If he encountered a sufficiently powerful expert capable of instantly extinguishing all the life energy and laws of his Greenwood Emperor Body, then Ye Yunfei would be in mortal danger.
However, let alone the Eastern Barrens, it was likely that not many such powerhouses existed even across the entire Primordial Continent.
Unless it was someone of the Heavenly Deity Palace's Palace Master's caliber, Ye Yunfei's life would not be threatened.
Three days later, Ye Yunfei's physical injuries were mostly healed, and he was no longer in any serious trouble.
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and appeared before Ji Yue and Elder Hu.
Since being rescued by Ye Yunfei, Ji Yue and Elder Hu had remained in an unconscious, sleep-like state.
Ye Yunfei projected his Soul Power perception into Ji Yue and Elder Hu's bodies. He discovered their vitality was extremely faint. The Soul Bodies within their Soul Seas were also on the brink of extinction. Though not dead, they also did not seem truly alive. Both their physical bodies and Soul Bodies were maintained by only the barest, most slender threads of life force.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei also found that both Ji Yue and Elder Hu, in both body and soul, were riddled with cracks, like two statues on the verge of being shattered.
"What in the world is going on?"
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged in front of the two, studying them for a long while but could not determine precisely what state they were in.
"Senior Sister Ji Yue."
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power entered Ji Yue's Soul Sea, calling out to her Soul Body, but there was no response.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power then entered Elder Hu's Soul Sea, attempting to rouse his Soul Body, but again to no effect.
"Hun Lao, what exactly is happening?"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown as he spoke to Hun Lao.
Hun Lao appeared beside Ye Yunfei and extended his perception over Ji Yue and Elder Hu.
"I suspect the problem lies with the Time Reversal Art."
Hun Lao thought for a moment and began to explain.
"Both of them were shattered before—their physical bodies and Soul Bodies had already exploded, turning into clouds of bloody mist, their bodies ground to dust. They were undeniably, unquestionably dead.
Or perhaps one could put it this way: they had already died.
It was you forcibly activating the Time Reversal Art, causing time to flow backwards, that their bodies and Soul Bodies were barely held together again.
However, can the Time Reversal Art truly bring back the dead? Can it truly resurrect two people who have already been reduced to dust?
No one knows the answer to that."
Hun Lao voiced his thoughts.
