"Everyone, he's started taking physical damage. If we join forces and inflict more severe injuries, we can kill him before long."
A Star Shattering Realm completion master coldly assessed Ye Yunfei's battle-scarred giant body.
"This lad truly is a rare evil genius. A pity he'll fall here today!"
"The world is never short of geniuses. What's truly scarce are geniuses who live to grow to their full potential."
One after another, the other Star Shattering Realm completion masters also voiced their opinions.
At this moment, the sixteen Star Shattering Realm completion masters had Ye Yunfei completely surrounded, each radiating thick killing intent.
Seeing Ye Yunfei finally corralled by the sixteen Star Shattering Realm completion masters, the other forces of the Central Continent Army and Heavenly God Palace collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
That rapid and terrifying slaughter earlier had inflicted far too much psychological pressure on them!
One could say, ordinary Star Shattering Realm and Mind Star Realm fighters could only expect instant death before Ye Yunfei!
"Comrades, let's seize the moment and wipe out the Eastern Wasteland Army!"
The remaining experts of the Central Continent Army and Heavenly God Palace roared as they charged towards the Eastern Wasteland Army.
Under such circumstances, the pressure on the Eastern Wasteland Army's other experts instantly surged dramatically.
The disparity in numbers between both sides was immense.
Earlier, they only enjoyed a brief respite because Ye Yunfei's charge had taken the pressure off.
"Young Master Su, we of Longevity Palace have come to your aid!"
Just at this moment, a voice rang out from the distant horizon. Then, they saw a troop surging forth, led by none other than the Longevity Palace Master!
In the blink of an eye, the Longevity Palace troops plunged into the battlefield, siding with the Eastern Wasteland Army and clashing with the Central Continent Army and Heavenly God Palace forces.
Longevity Palace was also a major power in the Central Divine Land, and this time their combatants were not weak at all.
Including the Palace Master himself, they'd brought nine Star Shattering Realm experts! Among them was an elderly-looking old man—a Star Shattering Realm completion master!
Additionally, there were dozens of Mind Star Realm experts!
"Palace Master, your Longevity Palace really doesn't need to get involved. You might invite a lot of trouble," Ye Yunfei said gratefully, but he still tried to dissuade them.
Ye Yunfei understood in his heart that Longevity Palace's decision to come aid him under these circumstances must have involved considerable internal conflict.
"Young Master Su, there's no need to say more. Our Longevity Palace distinguishes friend from foe and makes its own choices," the Longevity Palace Master stated firmly.
"Very well then, Palace Master. I will remember Longevity Palace's kindness," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Your Longevity Palace belongs to the Central Divine Land! Why are you siding with the Eastern Wasteland Army?! Don't you fear becoming an enemy of the entire Central Divine Land?" a high-level officer of the Eastern Wasteland Army angrily shouted.
"Hmph! Our Longevity Palace returns kindness and vengeance in kind. Young Master Su did us a great service. Naturally, we stand with him!" the Longevity Palace Master retorted with a cold snort.
"Young Master Su, this old man will fight alongside you."
The elderly old man standing beside the Palace Master moved, his figure materializing beside Ye Yunfei in a flash.
"Young Master Su, I shall also fight alongside you."
Superior Master Limo, his body erupting with churning Buddha radiance, also appeared at Ye Yunfei's side.
Superior Master Limo also possessed combat power at the Star Shattering Realm completion stage!
"Haha! Excellent! Seniors, let us slaughter these enemies together!" Ye Yunfei laughed heartily, taking a single step forward, arriving before a black-robed elder in the next instant, without any apparent delay.
"Little fiend, why should I fear you?"
This elder was a venerable ancestor-level character from the Heavenly God Palace. One by one, cold, sinister lightning arcs coiled and danced around his body. He reached out with a hand and pulled, with a sharp tearing sound, a black longsword emerged from the void. The sword blade glinted with a ruthless, sharp light, carrying a sinister and terrifying aura of slaughter that struck fear into any who looked upon it.
*Whoosh!*
The elder thrust with his sword. The sword's blade directly pierced deep into space, vanishing entirely, leaving only the hilt clutched in his hand.
In the next moment.
*Whoosh, whoosh...*
Thousands upon thousands of black longswords, each pulsing with terrifying killing intent, manifested around Ye Yunfei's body. Every single one looked utterly real, indistinguishable from the genuine article.
"That's the highest realm of the Heavenly God Palace's assassination arts! Every one of those swords can be real or an illusion. The truth of each sword is decided by the wielder's mere whim. It's nearly impossible to evade; you can only withstand it head-on!" someone gasped in a low voice from afar, recognizing the origin of the old man's swordsmanship.
Right then, Ye Yunfei didn't even pause to think, throwing a punch with a fist large as a mountain peak against the sky-filling blades, clanging and clattering.
"Brat, let's see how many strikes you can block!" The elder scoffed.
But in the very next moment, the smile froze on his face.
Ye Yunfei shot his hand out and grabbed one specific blade from the multitude of swords. With a forceful wrench, he directly broke the sword. The countless sword phantoms instantly vanished.
"Impossible!"
A look of shock and fear emerged on the elder's face. His prized Heavenly God Palace assassination art, something he was so proud of, had been casually dispelled by Ye Yunfei simply grabbing and breaking it.
"Heh, a paltry trick—daring to strut about before me?" Ye Yunfei gave a light laugh.
Given Ye Yunfei's current attainments in the Dao of Swordplay, the Heavenly God Palace's assassination arts of the Primordial Continent were merely an ordinary swordsmanship—broken with a single move!
Even as he broke the sword, Ye Yunfei simultaneously unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword and Puppet Soul Thread secret arts, attacking straight into the old man's Soul Sea.
*BOOM...*
The Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul also erupted at this instant, unleashing terrifying Soul Power pressure that crushed down upon the old man's soul body.
"What is this?!"
Simultaneously assaulted by the Heavenly Soul Sword, Puppet Soul Threads, and the Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul, the old man's head hurt as though it would explode in agony. In sheer terror, he frantically retreated.
*BANG! BANG!*
Ye Yunfei's fists had already smashed in. His left hand executed the True Demon Fiend-God Fist, his right the Borrow Heaven Nine Burials Fist. The terrifying fist force vibrated forward, causing the space before him to shatter inch by inch, an unstoppable assault!
*Clang! Clang!...*
The old man drew two other black longswords. Frantically blocking Ye Yunfei's two fists, clear metallic clangs rang out one after another.
*THUD!*
After several exchanges, Ye Yunfei successfully triggered the Tenfold Demonic Restraint Fist's multiplier effect. One punch not only shattered the old man's two swords but also blasted the elder flying, causing him to vomit blood repeatedly. His face instantly paled drastically.
*Hiss!*
Watching Ye Yunfei injure a Star Shattering Realm completion master in just a few moves drew widespread gasps of shock and awe.
Such combat prowess—apart from those in the Star-Gazing Realm—could already dominate the Primordial Continent!
"The Heavenly Dao Tower is truly a marvelous treasure!"
Countless warriors' eyes glinted greedily.
Every observer was convinced that the source of Ye Yunfei's terrifying combat prowess lay entirely with the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Otherwise, how could a young junior from a Lower Realm possibly wield such power?
"Arrogant punk, cease this!"
Right then, the other fifteen Star Shattering Realm completion masters attacked. An enraged elder, as if a god were enraged, brandished a gigantic golden hammer, which swelled in size as it hurtled towards Ye Yunfei.
"Kid, meet your death!"
A tall, thin elder, holding a massive ancient bronze halberd, pointed it at Ye Yunfei, then fiercely hacked downwards. With a terrible crack, the halberd's gleaming blade viciously split the space right in two, creating a truly frightening sight.
The other experts also attacked, surrounding Ye Yunfei, activating magical artifacts or unleashing lethal ultimate techniques, besieging him collectively!
"Young Master Su, I'm coming!"
The elderly man from Longevity Palace charged into the fray.
*BOOM...*
Superior Master Limo launched a mighty Vajra Palm strike, forcibly repelling one of the Star Shattering Realm completion masters besieging Ye Yunfei, adding his strength to the battle.
"Seniors, I will freeze time. Seize the opportunity to slaughter them!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly transmitted a sound message.
As soon as his message echoed...
*BOOM!*
Ye Yunfei unleashed the Time Reversal Technique! A vast expanse of temporal energy and profound time laws instantaneously erupted, enveloping the surrounding space.
Since he was facing Star Shattering Realm completion masters, Ye Yunfei held back nothing, even over-exerting himself to tap into Spatial Energy. Instantly, half his hair turned snow-white!
Even the skin on his body's surface grew noticeably rougher!
These were the consequences of overusing temporal energy—it drained his life force!
"What's happening?!"
"I cannot move!"
"Oh no! It feels like time is moving backwards!"
"Beware! That punk seems to be using some extremely dreadful temporal secret art!"
The sixteen Star Shattering Realm completion masters discovered in terror that the flow of time in this pocket of space was reversing! Their movements were also being reversed, entirely beyond their control.
*Bang...*
While unleashing the Time Reversal Technique, Ye Yunfei simultaneously cast the Heavenly Soul Sword, Puppet Soul Thread secret arts, and employed the Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul, targeting and suppressing four of the elders. Then, his fists rapidly hammered forth, consecutively shattering the skulls of those four elders!
Having received Ye Yunfei's transmission and made preparations in advance, the Longevity Palace elder and Superior Master Limo seized the chance to slaughter two more elders as well.
"Die!"
After slaying four elders, Ye Yunfei lunged towards a fifth one.
However, just then, the Time Reversal Technique began fading! That elder, witnessing Ye Yunfei successively kill four companions, was already so frightened his soul nearly left his body. Seeing Ye Yunfei now charging straight at him, burning origin essence blood with a great roar, his entire body blazed with raging flames. Only then could he finally move, retreating instantly.
Yet, he was still a fraction too slow. Ye Yunfei's fist shattered half his body, leaving him desperately dragging his semi-ruined torso in a frantic escape towards the distance.
Now, the other nine elders could finally move as well, each turning tail and fleeing without a second thought.
Sixteen Star Shattering Realm completion masters! Suddenly, six were dead, one gravely wounded and incapable of further combat.
Only nine remained!
Such a dramatic shift happened in the blink of an eye, far too suddenly!
From afar, the remaining nine Star Shattering Realm completion masters stared at Ye Yunfei with terrified eyes, unable to bring themselves to approach.
"What a pity, Young Master Su! I didn't know you had cultivated such a high-level temporal secret art. Otherwise, I, at the very least, could have slain two to three just now!"
While marveling, the Longevity Palace elder kept sighing in regret.
"There will be more opportunities. Now, let's keep going."
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly, his cold gaze sweeping toward the remaining nine Star Shattering Realm completion masters.
Those nine experts merely stood at a distance, watching Ye Yunfei, their faces flickering uncertainly, too apprehensive to draw near once more.
"No longer willing to fight? Then I shall continue my slaughter!" Ye Yunfei mocked coldly.
Currently, the Longevity Palace Master, leading his followers, had already joined the melee.
However, the Central Continent Army and Heavenly God Palace's forces still held the upper hand.
The Eastern Wasteland Army combined with the Longevity Palace fighters were getting pushed back, continuously suffering more casualties.
"KILL!"
Ye Yunfei's giant form charged forward, deploying the Nine Steps Soul Hunt. Each step caused the ground to tremble, instantly making a group of Heavenly God Palace and Central Continent Army fighters vomit blood and die on the spot.
*BANG!*
Ye Yunfei released the Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul, instantly paralyzing a large cluster of Central Continent Army and Heavenly God Palace personnel. Next, utilizing a 'One Sword to Pacify the World' sword art, he cleaved out a thick beam of sword light, killing hundreds in one strike!
Even Star Shattering Realm experts would be suppressed facing the Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul, let alone ordinary fighters.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei embarked on a complete rampage, utterly disregarding defense, entirely focused on slaughter, like a humanoid mincing machine rolling relentlessly onward, instantly killing every person of any cultivation level in his path!
Each and every attack crashing onto Ye Yunfei's body utterly failed to inflict any substantial damage.
"Comrades, it seems each of our respective forces will have to reveal their trump cards. Otherwise, not only will we fail to handle this punk, we'll suffer immense losses."
A Star Shattering Realm completion master gravely stated.
