"Master!
You died so tragically, Elder!"
"No! Elder Qiu, Elder Liu, and Elder Shangguan... our sect has actually lost three elders. How are we supposed to explain this to the Sect Master upon our return?!"
...
The twenty Mind Star Realm experts who had just fallen all hailed from the various great powers of the Central Divine Land. They held high status, serving as the backbone forces of their respective factions, and had large numbers of disciples beneath them. Now, cries of grief and wailing broke out.
The loss of these Mind Star Realm experts undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to these factions.
At this moment, the remaining Mind Star Realm experts also snapped back to full clarity.
Originally, they had assumed that with so many Mind Star Realm experts joining forces to encircle and attack Ye Yunfei, dealing with this junior would be a simple matter.
But now, they understood that this junior before them was far beyond what they could hope to defeat!
Once this thought registered, some of the Mind Star Realm experts began to retreat continuously, putting distance between themselves and Ye Yunfei. His previously demonstrated speed was far too terrifying—a single step could bring him to any location. These Mind Star Realm experts feared Ye Yunfei might suddenly turn his attention to them.
Right now, they felt a mixture of rage and terror towards him.
"Weren't you all clamoring to surround and kill me just a moment ago? Come on then, fight," Ye Yunfei said calmly, watching the Mind Star Realm experts withdrawing.
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, those who had been subtly retreating were startled. They cast all notions of face aside and rapidly retreated in full, striving to distance themselves from him.
After Ye Yunfei slaughtered the twenty Mind Star Realm experts, the Blood Clan Clone appeared. Opening its mouth, it inhaled, drawing all the Origin Essence Blood from the twenty corpses and directly devouring it.
Within Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Origin Essence Blood of the Demon Venerables and other Demon Race members Ye Yunfei had slain had also been completely devoured by the Blood Clan Clone.
In truth, every time Ye Yunfei killed an enemy, his Blood Clan Clone would emerge afterwards to consume their Origin Essence Blood. For the Clone, this was a form of cultivation, and Ye Yunfei naturally wouldn't pass up such opportunities.
During this period, the strength of the Blood Clan Clone had advanced astonishingly! The bloodlines of the Demon Race were far nobler than those of human cultivators. After devouring the Origin Essence Blood of those demons, the Clone's power had skyrocketed in a short time.
"If you won't fight, I will."
Ye Yunfei sneered. Given his temperament, now that these Mind Star Realm experts had already started moving to encircle and kill him, he had no intention of letting them go easily.
"Boy, spare others when possible!
We will face you!"
Just then, five old men suddenly stepped forth from the crowd, taking a step that placed them directly in front of Ye Yunfei. One of them shouted coldly.
These five old men had earlier surrounded the Palace Master, preventing him from assisting Ye Yunfei. Now that they saw the Mind Star Realm experts were no match for Ye Yunfei, they decided to step in.
These five old men were all Star Shattering Realm experts!
Above the Mind Star Realm lay the Star Shattering Realm. Above the Star Shattering Realm was the Star-Gazing Realm! The Star Shattering Realm represented the top-tier experts within the Central Divine Land; there were very few such experts in the entire region. As for Star-Gazing Realm experts, legend held that only a single person in the entire Central Divine Land possibly reached that level: the Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace! But this was merely speculation; no one knew the true strength of the Heavenly God Palace's Palace Master.
The Palace Master of the Longevity Palace was a late-stage Star Shattering Realm expert! Rumor had it that within the Longevity Palace's headquarters resided an Ancestor who possessed the strength of the peak Star Shattering Realm.
These five old men before them consisted of three at the early-stage and two at the mid-stage of the Star Shattering Realm.
"Spare others when possible?
Ridiculous! This world clearly operates on whose fist is biggest. The one with the bigger fist holds the truth!
You five old geezers, roll out here and await death!"
Facing the five Star Shattering Realm experts, Ye Yunfei showed not a trace of fear, replying with a cold sneer.
"Su Fei, let me handle them," the Palace Master transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"There's no need, Palace Master. Just watch from the side. I want to test the strength of these five old-timers," Ye Yunfei replied.
"This… Very well. If you need help, just call out immediately. I will intervene," the Palace Master answered after a moment's hesitation.
BOOM!
Ye Yunfei's body suddenly began to grow in height rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a colossal figure that seemed to reach the heavens, emanating terrifying physical energy. The sheer force caused the surrounding space to contort and warp continuously.
"Physical abilities!" The onlookers stared in shock at Ye Yunfei, who now resembled a giant deity descended to earth. This wasn't an illusion created through some technique; this was the innate physical abilities of his body! For human experts, it wasn't difficult to use profound spiritual energy techniques to project a majestic phantom form. However, developing physical abilities solely through body-refining and physical strength was far more difficult—and their power was often magnitudes greater!
At this moment, six enormous golden orbs orbited Ye Yunfei's head, emitting blinding golden radiance. Nine Divine Beasts stood behind him, continuously roaring. The massive Totem Wheel also rose into the air, turning slowly like a gigantic millstone, causing the entire world to tremble alongside its movement. The Blood Clan Clone, holding a long blood-colored blade, stood beside Ye Yunfei, releasing massive, sky-blotting bloody mists that enveloped the surrounding space.
For a time, various phenomena surrounded Ye Yunfei: dazzling golden light, roaring Divine Beasts. The sight made everyone somewhat spellbound.
"So young, yet possessing such monstrous strength… What kind of monster is this?" Many couldn't help but think this.
The expressions of the five old men also gradually grew solemn. The aura Ye Yunfei was now emitting was startling even to them.
BOOM!
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei took the initiative. That towering, mountain-like colossal figure rushed forth with Nine Steps to Hunt Souls.
THUMP… THUMP... A sequence of nine steps, each step resounding through the heavens and shaking the earth.
In an instant, Ye Yunfei arrived before the five old men, both fists simultaneously striking forward.
Right fist: True Demon God-Slaying Fist!
Left fist: Borrowed Heaven Nine Burials Fist!
With the unleashing of both fists, the entire area instantly filled with an overwhelming flood of fist force.
Following Ye Yunfei's move, the Nine Divine Beasts, the Blood Clan Clone, and the six giant golden orbs above his head also surged forward to crush anything in their path.
Against the Mind Star Realm experts earlier, Ye Yunfei had fought somewhat casually. But against these five Star Shattering Realm experts, Ye Yunfei no longer held back!
"Young Su Fei! Do you think we, five men of experience, would fear a whelp like you who is still wet behind the ears?
Prepare for death!"
The five old men charged forward together.
The next moment, the two sides collided violently, igniting a fierce battle.
The Blood Clan Clone engaged one old man.
The Nine Divine Beasts divided into three groups, each battling one of three old men.
Ye Yunfei himself charged towards the final remaining elder.
WHOOSH… The six giant golden orbs rolled forward, crushing their way toward that old man. The illusory specter of Six-Sun Samsara unleashed a terrifying energy pressure, bearing down on him like an invisible, divine mountain.
BOOM… BOOM… Ye Yunfei's fists were like lightning, striking towards him in rapid succession. Every punch made the very space quiver.
