Boom! Rumble!
A vast and mighty pressure of energy erupted from Elder Qiu's body, crashing towards Ye Yunfei like a sky-filling tsunami.
There was no denying it; an expert of the Mind Star Realm was truly terrifying!
The slaves behind Ye Yunfei were all suppressed until they staggered and swayed, their faces flushed red as they retreated continuously. Some of the relatively weaker ones had already been pressed flat against the ground, unable to move. Their bodies creaked and cracked, almost on the verge of exploding.
Ye Yunfei's body also sank, feeling as if an invisible divine mountain were crushing down on him, making movement difficult.
"Impressive, brat. Facing my energy pressure, you actually seem unaffected. Very impressive.
With your strength, you could rank within at least the top dozen among the younger generation in the Central Divine Land.
But that level of skill is still far from enough. In my presence, you are as weak as an ant."
Elder Qiu said coldly.
Boom! Rumble!
As he spoke, waves of thick, black corpse mist spread out from within Elder Qiu's body, blotting out the sky and drowning this entire space.
Whoosh! Bang!
A total of eighteen black rivers, composed of dense corpse aura, appeared like eighteen black dragons, pouncing towards Ye Yunfei to kill him.
At this moment, Elder Qiu's figure was hidden within the pitch-black corpse mist, invisible not only to the naked eye but also undetectable by Soul Power. Only the sound of heavy footsteps, one after another, could be heard stepping towards Ye Yunfei from within the overwhelming corpse aura. With each footstep, space trembled violently, as if a world-shaking ferocious beast was concealed within the black mist.
"Brat, at such a young age, to have caused our Corpse World such great losses... I know you are anything but ordinary.
So rest assured, I definitely won't underestimate my enemy.
Go die!"
Elder Qiu's voice rang out from the billowing corpse mist.
Then, from within the towering corpse aura, a large cyan claw stretched out, striking towards Ye Yunfei.
"I hope the Secret Art of Puppet Soul Threads doesn't disappoint me."
Ye Yunfei murmured softly.
Simultaneously, with a thought, Ye Yunfei activated the Secret Art of Puppet Soul Threads.
Boom!
The next instant, vast amounts of Soul Power energy surged out from within the heads of all the slaves, converging wildly towards Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
This was one of the supernatural abilities of the Secret Art of Puppet Soul Threads—it could extract the Soul Power energy of the slaves under one's control and make it one's own.
Boom! Rumble!
As a huge quantity of Soul Power energy gathered in a torrential flood, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power level began to rise sharply.
The number of slaves Ye Yunfei had subdued during this period was roughly over a thousand, and more than half of them were at the Dao Origin Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm. Plus, before entering the Land of Life and Death, he had also subdued seven to eight hundred slaves with strength at the Dao Origin and Primordial Chaos Realms. Added together, the slaves under Ye Yunfei's command, counting only those at the Dao Origin and Primordial Chaos Realms, exceeded fifteen hundred!
The Soul Power energy of so many Dao Origin and Primordial Chaos Realm experts converging together, all belonging to Ye Yunfei, combined with Ye Yunfei's own Soul Power energy, produced a power too terrifying to imagine!
Boom!
A circle of brilliant Soul Power radiance shimmered behind Ye Yunfei's head, whistling and humming with astonishing might.
The terrifying Soul Power pressure swept towards Elder Qiu like a sky-shaking tsunami.
Sizzle... Crackle...
With a thought, Ye Yunfei condensed one Puppet Soul Thread after another, attacking towards Elder Qiu's Soul Sea.
At the same time, a small sword condensed from Soul Power also shot into Elder Qiu's Soul Sea, striking towards his Soul Body.
"How is this possible!
Brat, how can your Soul Power energy be so powerful?!"
Elder Qiu cried out in shock and horror, retreating a step. All his offensive momentum ceased instantly.
At this moment, nearly six to seven hundred Puppet Soul Threads had invaded Elder Qiu's Soul Sea, swarming to attack his Soul Body.
Elder Qiu hurriedly mobilized all his Soul Power energy to resist.
Three Soul Power-type magic treasures also appeared within his Soul Sea, forming a barrier in front of his Soul Body.
Clang! Clang!
The Soul Sword, carrying fearsome Soul Power energy, attacked again and again, repeatedly colliding with those three Soul Power treasures, producing sharp metallic clashing sounds.
Whoosh... Hum...
At this time, the Soul Power energy within the Soul Seas of Ye Yunfei's slaves was still continuously pouring into Ye Yunfei's head, causing Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy to keep rising!
Consequently, the Soul Power attacks Ye Yunfei launched against Elder Qiu grew increasingly powerful.
Elder Qiu, true to his reputation as a Mind Star Realm expert, actually managed to hold on for a moment under such fierce Soul Power attacks from Ye Yunfei.
However, after that moment, Elder Qiu could no longer withstand it. He retreated over a dozen steps, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. The gaze he cast towards Ye Yunfei became wary.
"Indeed worthy of being a Mind Star Realm expert."
Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
Even after concentrating the Soul Power energy of so many Dao Origin and Primordial Chaos Realm experts, he had only managed to gain a slight upper hand over this Elder Qiu.
"What's going on?"
Elder Yin, seeing Elder Qiu forced back with blood at his mouth, couldn't help but be greatly alarmed.
He couldn't understand how a dignified Mind Star Realm expert could be injured and repelled by a mere brat at the Primordial Chaos Realm level!
"This brat's Soul Power energy is a bit strange.
He seems able to extract the Soul Power energy of those people behind him and use it for himself alone."
Elder Qiu said.
"Extract others' Soul Power energy for his own use?
What kind of evil sorcery is this?"
Hearing this, Elder Yin found it somewhat hard to believe.
The Soul Race was a rare race within the Three Thousand Greater Worlds, and their numbers were extremely scarce. Only within those core worlds did Soul Race members exist; there were none in the Hongmeng Continent. Therefore, most martial artists in Hongmeng Continent had never heard of such an anomalous race as the Soul Race, let alone their various cultivation techniques and secret arts. The Soul Race member Ye Yunfei encountered before had been imprisoned within the Heavenly Dao Tower by Emperor Guhuang.
"Let me test it. I refuse to believe a brat at the Primordial Chaos Realm level can do anything to us!"
Elder Yin took a step forward, shouting fiercely.
Boom!
Elder Yin raised the black-and-white staff in his hand and swung it towards Ye Yunfei.
The staff continuously enlarged, thick deathly aura coiling around its shaft. In the blink of an eye, it spanned a vast stretch of the firmament, like a pillar holding up the heavens, striking with such force that heaven and earth lost their color.
Rustle... Clatter...
Suddenly, one skeletal white figure after another continuously materialized, brandishing sharp bone claws, swarming densely towards Ye Yunfei to kill him.
Ye Yunfei directly employed the two Soul Power secret arts, Puppet Soul Threads and the Soul Sword, attacking towards Elder Yin's Soul Sea.
Ye Yunfei understood that facing these two Mind Star Realm experts, his only chance of victory lay in Soul Power energy. If he used his other techniques and secret arts, it would be difficult to overcome them, so he simply refrained.
Under the attacks of the Puppet Soul Threads and Soul Sword, Elder Yin's expression also changed drastically. He felt his head splitting with pain, and his Soul Body swayed unsteadily. Affected by this, the offensive momentum of the staff in his hand slowed and finally halted in mid-air.
After a moment, Elder Yin finally also reached his limit a bit, retreating over a dozen steps with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Boom! Rumble!
The Soul Power energy of fully over a thousand Dao Origin and Primordial Chaos Realm slaves converged within Ye Yunfei's head, rumbling like a continuous, sky-filling tsunami, shaking the surrounding space until it swayed.
By now, several consecutive circles of brilliant Soul Power radiance had shimmered into existence behind Ye Yunfei's head.
"The Secret Art of Puppet Soul Threads has not disappointed me."
Feeling the powerful Soul Power energy he now possessed, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but reveal a smile.
Elder Yin and Elder Qiu stared at Ye Yunfei with wary eyes, momentarily not daring to launch another attack. The attacks Ye Yunfei had just used against them had already caused injuries to their Soul Bodies.
It was important to know that injuries to the Soul Body were the most difficult to treat. They understood that with the Soul Power energy Ye Yunfei possessed at this moment, they could do nothing against him!
"Ahh! Aghhh..."
At this moment, the Tribulation Birth Realm experts of the Corpse World were being utterly defeated by Situ Kong'er, the green-robed elder, and the twelve old corpses. Many Tribulation Birth Realm experts were killed on the spot, letting out miserable screams.
