"Young Miss Lu has emerged!"
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power perception was incredibly keen, immediately detecting the black phoenix that had burst through the earth and was now soaring through the skies. In a flash, he led everyone away from the area of the Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain, charging in the direction of the black phoenix.
"All forces, concentrate! Annihilate that black phoenix! We cannot let it take away the Yin Vein!"
A middle-aged man dressed in black robes roared.
This man was the current Sect Master of the Corpse World!
He had previously led the Corpse World elders into the depths of the earth to pursue that black phoenix and had been hunting it until now.
At the Sect Master's command, virtually all forces within the entire Corpse World surged forward in a mighty torrent toward that black phoenix.
This time, the Corpse World forces were truly pouring out en masse!
Even some reclusive old masters who had been in seclusion for countless years took action!
In the heavens of the Corpse World, the black phoenix let out a long cry. Its piercing, stone-shattering shriek seemed capable of penetrating this entire realm and reaching the chaotic void outside.
In the blink of an eye, groups of Corpse World forces closed in on the black phoenix. Some activated magical treasures, others unleashed their ultimate killing moves. The attacks came thick and fast, pelting towards it like torrential rain.
The black phoenix emitted a sharp, high-pitched screech, then swept out its massive wings that seemed to brush the sky. A vast tide of dark energy, like endless layers of black water ripples, spread toward the Corpse World forces.
*Pop pop pop...*
Wherever the black energy touched, all the Corpse World forces exploded into fragments, instantly turning to flying dust before being completely annihilated!
It was as if they had never existed!
"So strong!"
Witnessing this from afar, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
This level of power made even Ye Yunfei wary!
"Master, Young Miss Lu's Soul Body had already transformed into a Wraith Phoenix Spirit before. Now she has devoured a Nine Nether Dark River. Her power is incredibly fearsome!
I estimate that in the entire Primordial Continent, she has few rivals left!
I believe Young Miss Lu has now transformed into the legendary Dark Queen!
These experts of the Corpse World are no match for her!"
The Holy Son of the Flying Sky Monkeys suddenly spoke up.
This Holy Son came from the Netherworld and was very familiar with many dark legends.
"Yes. As for Young Miss Lu's current strength... even I might not necessarily be able to defeat her."
Gazing at the distant black phoenix, Ye Yunfei could not help but sigh.
He didn't know whether this was good news or bad.
The only thing worth celebrating was that Lü Dandan hadn't been refined into a Corpse Empress.
If she had been refined into a Corpse Empress, she would essentially have become a corpse, her original Soul Body ceasing to exist!
"Kill!"
Five or six peak Star Shattering Realm experts, along with dozens of early, mid, and late-stage Star Shattering Realm masters, surged up from below, charging toward the black phoenix from all directions.
Most of these Star Shattering Realm masters were elders of the Corpse World!
Besides these Star Shattering Realm experts, vast, ocean-like tides of Corpse World forces swarmed to surround and attack the black phoenix.
Because this black phoenix had devoured the Yin Vein beneath the Corpse World, all those experts targeted it.
"Let's go help Young Miss Lu!"
With a roar, Ye Yunfei charged forward with his Blood Clan Clone, the Nine Divine Beasts, as well as Hu Miao, Huang Shang, the Ice Demon, and the others.
"It's you!
Su Fei!"
The Star Shattering Realm experts of the Corpse World immediately recognized Ye Yunfei!
Previously in Heaven Beyond Heaven, a Star Shattering Realm expert from the Corpse World had once fought Ye Yunfei. Now, it was this same expert who recognized Ye Yunfei first!
"Su Fei, did you have a hand in this black phoenix!
Where did it come from!
Tell it to surrender the Yin Vein immediately!
Otherwise, neither of you will leave the Corpse World alive!"
A Grand Elder of the Corpse World roared furiously at Ye Yunfei.
Earlier, these Star Shattering Realm experts of the Corpse World had pursued the black phoenix underground, but with no success.
That black phoenix was too fast, and after merging with the Nine Nether Dark River, it became impossible to track.
"Who is she?
I think you should go ask Elder Youyan. He knows her origins best.
Besides, the two of us will leave whenever we wish. How could trash like you possibly stop us?"
Ye Yunfei replied with a faint smile.
"Ask Elder Youyan?"
The Corpse World Sect Master was taken aback.
"Sect Master, Elder Youyan brought back a young woman possessing a Wraith Phoenix Spirit, intending to refine her into a Corpse Empress. Could this black phoenix have been transformed from that woman?"
A Senior Elder said to the Sect Master.
"Wraith Phoenix Spirit?
Does a being with such a legendary constitution truly exist in the world?
If Elder Youyan discovered such a being, why didn't he report it to us? Why did he proceed with corpse-refining on his own?
Summon Elder Youyan!"
The Sect Master was growing angry.
A Wraith Phoenix Spirit was an absolutely precious and rare constitution for the Corpse World. If the Sect Master and the three Grand Elders personally conducted the refining, they could definitely produce the legendary Corpse Empress. That would greatly enhance the foundations of the Corpse World.
"Sect Master, Elder Youyan has already fallen."
A Senior Elder reported.
"Hmph!
He harbored selfish motives. His death was well-deserved!"
A Grand Elder snorted coldly.
"Su Fei, order her to surrender the Yin Vein immediately. There might still be a chance for reconciliation between you and our Corpse World. Otherwise, the Corpse World will never let you go. It will be a fight to the death!"
The Sect Master looked at Ye Yunfei and spoke slowly.
"What does a mere Corpse World amount to?
Why would I need you to 'let me go'?
Even if the Corpse World doesn't come after me, I won't let you off either.
Spare me the empty talk. If you want to fight, then fight."
Ye Yunfei met the Sect Master's gaze, a faint, contemptuous expression on his face.
In his previous life, even the higher-ups of ancient, prestigious sects from the core worlds of the Three Thousand Realms would tread carefully and watch their words before Ye Yunfei. What was a mere Corpse World worth?
Although Ye Yunfei knew the Corpse World of the Primordial Continent inherited its legacy from the Netherworld, he himself had once entered the Netherworld. Its ruler had personally come out to greet him, pacifying him with every kind of fine word just to avoid a major conflict!
"Sect Master, respected Elders, terrible news! All the Corpse-Refining Caves of the Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain have been destroyed by Su Fei!"
At that moment, a peak Mind Star Realm expert arrived from afar, shouting in alarm.
"What?!"
Hearing this, the Sect Master and all the Elders paled in horror.
"Young fiend Su Fei, you push us too far!"
"You little wretch, you will pay the price!"
"Heavens! The Yin Vein was damaged, and now all the Corpse-Refining Caves of the Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain are destroyed. All the foundations our Corpse World painstakingly built over many years, destroyed in a single day! How hateful!"
...
The Corpse World Elders roared one after another, thoroughly enraged and reaching the peak of their fury.
The Sect Master was shaking all over with rage, his anger reaching its zenith.
The Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain and the Yin Vein were two of the Corpse World's greatest foundations, and now both were ruined!
For the Corpse World, this loss was catastrophic!
"Kill!
All forces, attack together! Kill them! KILL!"
His eyes bloodshot, the Sect Master roared recklessly.
