In the blink of an eye, the vast army composed of various Central Divine Land factions arrived, confronting the Devil Legion.
"What is that?!"
"An Immortal Soil World!"
"No wonder a Devil Legion is garrisoned here! So there's such a tract of immortal land. It seems these devils want to monopolize this Immortal Soil World!"
The experts from the major Central Divine Land factions stared at the brilliantly glowing Immortal Soil World ahead, their expressions a mix of shock and delight.
"This place belongs to our Demon Race. You human martial artists better scram immediately, or face immediate execution!"
Seeing the arrival of so many human martial artists, the faces of the five Demon Venerables turned extremely grim. One of them shouted harshly.
"Who says this place belongs to your Demon Race? This isn't the Demon World. It's obvious you're trying to monopolize that Immortal Soil World and spouting nonsense!"
A majestic-looking old man sneered coldly.
Gazing at the Immortal Soil World ahead overflowing with Spiritual Qi and dazzling radiance, the human martial artists were convinced it must contain astonishingly valuable treasures. They had no intention of leaving.
"Refuse to leave, and you die!"
Another Demon Venerable glared with his demonic eyes, roaring ferociously.
Boom!
The five Demon Venerables simultaneously unleashed their energy pressure, like five massive volcanoes erupting. Vast quantities of Demonic Qi surged skyward, shaking the heavens.
Shortly before, the five Demon Venerables had secretly taken demonic healing pills to temporarily suppress their injuries. Combined with the robust vitality of Demon Venerables—who possessed astonishing recovery abilities compared to humans—they were now able to display their peak combat prowess!
"Compared to humans, the Demon Race indeed has huge advantages in physical strength and vitality,"
Ye Yunfei thought inwardly, sweeping a glance over the five Demon Venerables. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he lifted Situ Kong'er and the others and took a single step to stand before the massive formation.
Neither the Devil Legion nor the human martial artist army were on his side, so Ye Yunfei had no intention of concerning himself with them. If they wanted to fight, he'd let them fight.
"Brother Su, can we get in?"
Situ Kong'er asked Ye Yunfei, swallowing as he stared at the Immortal Soil World inside the formation, his gaze somewhat fervent.
Anyone could see there must be precious treasures and opportunities inside!
"Hard to say. This formation is not simple. I'm not even sure if I can get in for now."
Ye Yunfei replied. "Let's study it first."
He released his Soul Power to sense the formation ahead, beginning to research and analyze it.
"Truly unexpected. The Heaven Beyond Heaven actually contains a formation of such a high grade!"
"Exquisite! Absolutely exquisite!"
"Whether it's the formation's setup technique, the materials used, the complexity of its structure, or its power—it's all utterly astonishing!"
Soon, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Thereafter, Ye Yunfei focused entirely on researching and analyzing.
"Huh? Isn't that Su Fei from Donghuang?"
At this moment, the people from the Central Divine Land factions spotted Ye Yunfei's party standing before the formation. Someone quickly recognized Ye Yunfei.
"That's right! That kid is Su Fei!"
"No wonder I've been wanting to settle scores with him since entering Heaven Beyond Heaven but couldn't find him! Turns out he's come here!"
After recognizing Ye Yunfei, the experts from Corpse World and Tianyou Tomb each erupted with dense killing intent.
"Everyone, this Su Fei attacked me earlier! Find a chance and kill him!"
A purple-robed man surrounded by a group of people said through gritted teeth. It was precisely Tang Fan, the Third Prince of the Darkness Imperial Dynasty.
Ye Yunfei completely ignored them. Standing motionless before the formation, he focused solely on analyzing the array in front of him.
Situ Kong'er, Hu Miao, and the others stood beside Ye Yunfei, waiting.
"Su Fei is studying that formation!"
A Corpse World expert said grimly.
"It's strange. How did these devil forces allow Su Fei to approach that formation?"
Another Corpse World expert wondered suspiciously.
The area around the formation was densely guarded by the Devil Legion. Outsiders simply couldn't get close. Yet Ye Yunfei had crossed their defensive perimeter and stood right before the formation!
"Indeed. Those devils actually allowed Su Fei to get near the formation. Could Su Fei be in cahoots with them?"
All the major Central Divine Land factions found it very strange.
They had no idea that Ye Yunfei had just fought the five Demon Venerables and forced his way in. Now, these five Demon Venerables were quite wary of Ye Yunfei, which was why they didn't go over to stop him as he stood before the formation.
"Hmph. Truly unbelievable. This kid Su Fei actually mingles with the Demon Race! The Demon Race and us humans are natural enemies. By defecting to the devils, Su Fei has, from this moment on, become the mortal enemy of all human martial artists in the Central Divine Land, nay, the entire Primordial Continent! He deserves to be killed by everyone!"
A Corpse World expert declared loudly.
Having already marked Ye Yunfei as their number-one enemy that must be eliminated, Corpse World naturally hoped to rope in more factions to deal with him.
"That really might be the case!"
Experts from other factions also nodded in agreement. Most felt Ye Yunfei's group had indeed likely defected to the Demon Race; otherwise, they couldn't have breached the heavy defenses of the Devil Legion to reach the formation.
"Everyone, let's not wait any longer! Let's join forces and fight our way through, then break that formation to enter that Immortal Soil World!"
Someone proposed loudly.
"Good! Let's join forces and fight our way over!"
Many immediately voiced agreement.
"Prepare to kill the enemy!"
The five Demon Venerables roared simultaneously.
The next moment.
"Kill!"
Both sides' forces charged forward simultaneously, commencing a terrifyingly fierce battle.
The combat strength of the five Demon Venerables was truly terrifying. Right at the start of the battle, they consecutively killed several Mind Star Realm experts, brutally tearing their bodies limb from limb.
However, a large batch of experts from the Central Divine Land's super factions had also arrived. Enraged, they swarmed forward, deployed their magical artifacts, and unleashed all sorts of deadly trump cards, surrounding the five Demon Venerables in an intense melee. For a time, it was an evenly matched struggle.
The others from both sides also fought fiercely, so fierce that both sky and earth darkened.
And during this, Ye Yunfei still stood motionless before that formation, concentrating on his research and analysis.
"Su Fei, is it working?"
After a while, Rou'er couldn't help but ask.
"Listen, everyone. This formation is incredibly ingenious, and it's divided into three layers, wrapping one inside another."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking gravely. "Right now, I only have some understanding of the outermost layer of prohibitions. To conduct a thorough study of this formation, we must go inside."
"Now I'll try to see if I can penetrate the three layers of prohibitions of this formation."
"Remember, this formation is fraught with danger everywhere, with lethal mechanisms at every step. A single misstep could trigger internal killing moves, inviting fatal disaster. You must follow me closely. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."
