"That’s correct, this is my true form. Those characters from the Central Divine Land actually sent people to the Sky Demon Forest to trouble me. How could I possibly swallow that grievance? I must show them my power so they think twice about harassing me again in the future," the Demon Race Patriarch said.
"Young Master Su Fei, I’ve heard that the Primordial Heterogeneous Race beings from the Northern Frost Ancient Mining Area have come out following you. Is that true?" the Demon Race Patriarch inquired.
"It is true. From now on, they are one of our own," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
Those Primordial Heterogeneous Race beings were currently resting within the headquarters of the Ziwei Sect.
"Haha, you certainly have a knack for this. I can’t help but admire it," the Demon Race Patriarch laughed heartily.
Half a day later, Ye Yunfei announced the formal establishment of the Eastern Wasteland Army.
The main forces comprising the Eastern Wasteland Army were Earth Kill, Ye Yunfei’s retinue of over two thousand slaves, the Eastern Barrens Demon Race, the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Monastery, the Primordial Heterogeneous Race, along with the Four Directions Trading House, the Clear Breeze Temple, and other factions.
However, since the overall strength of the Four Directions Trading House, the Clear Breeze Temple, the Ancient Race, and similar factions was somewhat weak, sending their forces to the Central Divine Land wouldn’t serve much purpose. Therefore, from these factions, Ye Yunfei only selected a small number of relatively stronger experts to accompany him.
"We shouldn’t delay any further. Let us depart at once," Ye Yunfei declared loudly, gathering all members of the Eastern Wasteland Army.
Lü Dandan had been captured by the Shadowflame Elder of the Corpse World and was going to be refined into the legendary Corpse Empress. Therefore, Ye Yunfei was in a hurry to rescue her. If he were too late, Lü Dandan’s life would not be spared.
Ye Yunfei transported all members of the Eastern Wasteland Army into the Illusory Shadow Tower, then retrieved the green flying boat and set course for the Central Divine Land.
Inside the green flying boat, Ye Yunfei fixed his gaze in the direction of the Central Divine Land, his killing intent palpable.
For this trip to the Central Divine Land, if he didn’t turn the world upside down, Ye Yunfei would not stop!
At the same time, the major forces of the Central Divine Land received the news transmitted from the Eastern Barrens. The forces each of these factions had dispatched to the Eastern Barrens had almost been completely annihilated! Only the Shadowflame Elder of the Corpse World, having rushed back with Lü Dandan, had returned safely. Immediately upon returning, he went to gather materials, intending to refine Lü Dandan into the Corpse Empress.
"We had no idea it would still be too late, that Su Fei would actually race back and slaughter all our people!"
"Brat Su Fei, just wait! This account will certainly be settled!"
The upper echelons of each major force were both shocked and furious, venting their anger in roars. Upon learning that Su Fei had returned to the Eastern Barrens, they had immediately dispatched people to go recall their forces. Yet, unexpectedly, it was still too late.
"Su Fei is too formidable!"
"Provoking so many major powers simultaneously... it seems Su Fei has truly come into his own!"
...
Soon after, the news spread throughout the entire Central Divine Land, causing the region to be once again stirred up by the name 'Su Fei', drawing countless astonished sighs.
"Wonderful! Now they know Su Fei isn’t one to be trifled with!"
In the Everlasting Palace, Pan Wanjun and Rou’er, upon hearing the news, reacted with both astonishment and delight.
"Those factions have suffered such heavy losses. They will not rest easily. They will definitely seek out Young Master Su again. Next time, these factions will dispatch even more experts and forces to the Eastern Barrens to settle accounts with Young Master Su. The Eastern Barrens is about to be thrown into chaos! Although Young Master Su’s strength is extraordinary, he is still fundamentally fighting alone. Two fists are no match for four hands!"
The Palace Master, his gaze directed towards the Eastern Barrens, sighed with emotion. He did not know that Ye Yunfei was already leading a massive force and heading straight for the Central Divine Land!
The green flying boat soared through the skies above the Primordial Continent. Hu Miao was at the helm, piloting the vessel.
Inside the Illusory Shadow Tower, Ye Yunfei was secluded in cultivation.
"Brat, once your Soul Power reaches a slightly stronger level, you can attempt to open the fourth layer of the Heavenly Dao Tower," Hun Lao’s voice suddenly echoed within Ye Yunfei’s soul sea via Sound Transmission.
"Yes," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei was also rather looking forward to it. After all, the Heavenly Dao Tower was a treasure left behind by a Great Emperor. There were surely even more valuable treasures stored within.
"By the way, during this period, have any of the prisoners in the second layer been experiencing flare-ups of their inner seals? If there are, let’s go extort them a bit," Ye Yunfei asked.
"You’re getting addicted to extorting them!" Hun Lao couldn’t help but remark.
"They’ve been stuck inside the Heavenly Dao Tower this whole time. All the treasures they carry are completely useless to them. It’s a waste to just leave them idle. It would be far better to hand them over to me so they can be put to full use," Ye Yunfei explained with a laugh.
"That’s a fair point," Hun Lao nodded in agreement.
"Haha… Speak of it and it comes to pass. Another two of them are starting to experience seal flare-ups! And judging by their looks, these two fellows probably have fairly substantial wealth—one calls himself a ‘Royal Sovereign,’ the other calls himself a ‘Sect Leader.’"
Hun Lao suddenly burst into laughter.
"Is that so? Well then, let us go take a look immediately," Ye Yunfei replied, his spirit roused at this news. He immediately entered the second layer of the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Hun Lao led Ye Yunfei into one of the palaces. Inside a prison cell within the palace was a man dressed in imperial dragon robes, his face bearing an air of nobility. However, at that moment, this man was writhing in agony, rolling on the ground as he endured immense torment.
"Gu Huang, you petty-minded scoundrel! I merely spoke a few ill words about you behind your back, and you imprisoned me here, subjecting me to such torment for these long, endless years. Isn’t that enough? Release me at once!" the man roared furiously as he rolled about.
Ye Yunfei immediately stepped forward to negotiate with the man.
At first, the man appeared very resistant, continuously threatening and cursing Ye Yunfei. However, he eventually succumbed to the temptation, unable to bear it any longer, and produced a batch of treasures as an exchange, asking Ye Yunfei to relieve him from the terrible pain caused by his inner seal’s flare-up.
"These items are a bit insufficient," Ye Yunfei glanced at the treasures the man had produced and shook his head, appearing unsatisfied.
If it were in the past, Ye Yunfei would have accepted immediately. However, as his own power had continued to rise, the cultivation resources and treasures Ye Yunfei now required were also of increasingly higher grades.
"Brat, don’t push it! Hurry up and help this Honored Imperial Ruler alleviate the pain, or I’ll kill you!" the man bellowed in rage.
"Imperial Ruler, these things truly aren’t enough to look at. Bring out a little more," Ye Yunfei remained unperturbed, continuing to patiently persuade.
In the end, the man pulled out a spatial magic treasure and tossed it to Ye Yunfei. Inside was a massive crystal stone ore vein—a vein of Time Law Crystal Stones!
"Not bad!" Ye Yunfei, sensing the power emanating from that ore vein, revealed a satisfied smile.
"Brat, I am the Ancient Imperial Ruler of the Age Sovereign Dynasty from the Immortal Mausoleum World. Since you have taken my belongings, immediately help me eliminate the pain brought on by the seal flare-up in my body. Otherwise, I will not spare you!" the man threatened.
"So it is the Ancient Imperial Ruler of the Age Sovereign Dynasty!" Ye Yunfei was somewhat startled.
The Immortal Mausoleum World was a core world among the Three Thousand Realms! The Age Sovereign Dynasty was a tremendously ancient, long-inherited dynasty within that world, possessing formidable overall strength.
Who would have thought that the Ancient Imperial Ruler of the Age Sovereign Dynasty was actually imprisoned here by the Gu Huang Great Emperor.
This made it clear: every single lifeform imprisoned here by the Gu Huang Great Emperor possessed a truly astonishing background!
"Imperial Ruler, rest assured. Having accepted payment, one resolves the trouble. I will now teach you how to alleviate the pain within your body," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
