"The power of the Great Emperor's Edict seems to have become more complete than before!"
As soon as Ye Yunfei activated the edict, he was delighted to discover that its power was even stronger.
"That's correct. Throughout the long years, the Great Emperor's Edict has been slowly repairing itself. It is truly worthy of being an edict left behind by a Great Emperor. After such an immense span of time, it can still restore itself," Elder Xuangui nodded, sighing in admiration.
"What is that?"
Everyone on the battlefield stared with apprehension at the piece of yellow cloth materializing before Ye Yunfei.
With the activation of the Great Emperor's Edict, all living beings within a thousand-mile radius felt their hearts jump into their throats, gripped by a deep sense of dread.
"You really think only your so-called great powers possess foundational power? Now, let me show you what true foundational power looks like." Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
Rumble…
The yellow cloth trembled violently, then spun outwards, appearing instantly before the Heavenly God Palace elder wielding the Heavenly God Sword.
"A mere piece of ragged cloth won't frighten me! The Heavenly God Sword is the mightiest artifact on the Primordial Continent!" the elder bellowed, raising his longsword and slashing at the yellow cloth.
Clang!
A clear, crisp metallic impact rang out as the yellow cloth and the Heavenly God Sword collided.
The two remained locked in a stalemate for the span of a single breath.
Then, with a crack, the Heavenly God Sword was actually cleaved in two on the spot.
Impossible?
The Heavenly God Palace elder stood gaping, staring at the broken sword now only half its length in his hand, utterly unable to believe it.
In his mind, the Heavenly God Sword was the strongest artifact on the continent, yet now it had been sliced in two by a ragged piece of cloth.
Shoosh!
The next instant, the yellow cloth spun past. Before the elder could even react, it bisected his head, claiming his life on the spot.
What just happened?
Everyone witnessing this scene felt a chill crawl up their spines.
Most martial artists in the Central Divine Land knew the legends surrounding the Heavenly God Sword. In everyone's mind, it was a peerless, fearsome weapon capable of suppressing the entire continent! Yet now it had proven so fragile, directly shattered by a piece of cloth of unknown origin.
Was this the Heavenly God Sword, or a Sword of Bean Curd?
Some even began to doubt.
Boom…
The yellow cloth trembled gently, unleashing unimaginable energy pressure as it spun towards the Corpse Ancestor summoned by the Corpse World.
ROAR…
The Corpse Ancestor erupted with a torrent of black corpse mist. A pair of corpse claws gleaming with a sinister, ghastly luster tore through space, reaching out to seize the yellow cloth.
Shoosh! Shoosh!
The yellow cloth spun past, severing the Corpse Ancestor's two claws, then continued towards its towering body.
The Corpse World's Grand Elder, who was controlling the Corpse Ancestor from within, was frightened out of his wits upon seeing this. He tried to control the Corpse Ancestor to retreat swiftly, to escape.
But it was already too late.
Shiiing!
With unbelievable speed, the yellow cloth spun past, cleaving the Corpse Ancestor's massive body in two, producing a sound like fabric being ripped.
AHHH…
A scream of agony emanated from within the Corpse Ancestor; the Corpse World's Grand Elder was also killed instantly.
Then, under Ye Yunfei's guidance, the yellow cloth, with astonishing speed, continued to spin and slash towards the other high-level members of those major powers.
This piece of yellow cloth was far too fast, and it contained an unstoppable, overpowering energy capable of annihilating everything!
"Old bastard, your turn!"
Pointing a finger, Ye Yunfei directed the yellow cloth to slash towards the Dark Prince of the Darkness Imperial Dynasty.
"RAWR!"
The Dark Prince roared, brandishing the Black Battle Halberd in his hand and unleashing a torrential wave of energy as he hacked towards the cloth.
The yellow cloth slid and slashed forward smoothly, appearing utterly unfazed. With a *clang*, it cut the black halberd cleanly in two.
Shocked, the Dark Prince immediately turned to flee.
Yet in the next instant, the yellow cloth spun past, slicing the Dark Prince's head clean down the middle.
Hiss…
Witnesses felt their hearts grow cold and their legs turn to jelly.
"Everyone, we must attack together now! We cannot allow him to defeat us one by one!" an elder gnashed his teeth and roared.
He was an elder from Tianyue Valley. Suspended above his head was an ancient seal, upon which sat cross-legged an ancient figure—an ancestral clone left behind by the founder of Tianyue Valley!
"Ancestral Founder, I beseech you to slay this brute!" the elder shouted.
Rumble…
The clone seated atop the ancient seal suddenly opened its eyes, shooting out two terrifying beams of condensed energy that pierced straight through the space ahead. Then, holding the ancient seal, the clone stepped forward, shaking heaven and earth as it charged towards Ye Yunfei.
"Take action!" a tall, powerfully-built elder shouted sharply.
The space above his head split open, and a massive, winged Crimson Wolf burst forth from the rift, pouncing towards Ye Yunfei.
"Brat, I'll fight you to the death!"
Another expert activated a nine-story Silver Pagoda, causing it to enlarge continuously. From each story, a figure surged out, all charging towards Ye Yunfei.
An old Taoist priest summoned an ancient bronze mirror. With a *hum*, it shot out a dazzling divine beam aimed at Ye Yunfei.
The top experts of all the major powers were now employing their factions' greatest foundational forces, surrounding Ye Yunfei for a combined assault.
"Hmph!" Ye Yunfei sneered.
Shiiing!
The yellow cloth spun out, decapitating the winged Crimson Wolf. Blood sprayed out like a geyser.
"NO! Brat, you've slain my sect's Divine Guardian Beast! I will not let you off!" The tall elder was both furious and terrified. Ultimately, however, fear won out, and he turned to flee.
Puff!
The yellow cloth flashed past, cutting the elder's body in half.
BOOM…
Suddenly, after killing the tall elder, the yellow cloth began to tremble violently.
In the next moment, an imposing figure suffused with billowing purple light slowly emerged from within the piece of yellow cloth.
Rumble…
With the appearance of this imposing figure, the world became flooded with vast, overwhelming supreme energy. Chains forged from condensed laws cascaded down from the depths of the void.
Then, space and time within this entire area seemed to grind to a standstill.
Both time and space were being suppressed!
"That is the Ziwei Great Emperor!"
"I understand now! This yellow cloth is actually a treasure left behind by the Ziwei Great Emperor! It is a Great Emperor's artifact!"
All eyes fixed upon that towering figure standing between heaven and earth. Struck with immense shock, someone finally shouted.
Ziwei Great Emperor!
Everyone's expression turned to one of reverence and awe.
"We retreat!" an old Taoist priest suddenly cried out. Above his head floated an ancient bronze mirror, rising and falling, left behind by the founder of his faction. Its power was immense.
"Withdraw!"
The other leaders of the major powers also reacted. Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately issued the command to retreat.
With a Great Emperor's artifact present, this battle had become unwinnable!
"Too late."
Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
Spare none of the enemy—this was Ye Yunfei's nature!
Boom…
The towering figure extended a hand, palm descending towards the old Taoist priest with the bronze mirror.
Terrified, his face deathly pale, the elder urged his bronze mirror to smash towards the Ziwei Great Emperor. The Great Emperor flicked a finger, sending the mirror flying, then brought his palm down, crushing the Taoist priest.
What followed was a series of palm strikes by the Ziwei Great Emperor. No matter how quickly or how far the leaders of the great powers fled, it was useless. Every time the Great Emperor struck out, an expert was invariably slain.
No one could withstand a single move—not even half a move!
Within mere breaths, all Star Shattering Realm and Thought Shattering Realm experts belonging to the Central Continent Army and the Heavenly God Palace were killed by the Ziwei Great Emperor—not a single one remained.
The remaining forces of the Central Continent Army and the Heavenly God Palace were utterly shattered with fear. They didn't dare flee; they didn't even dare move. They stood still, each like a statue, quietly watching the towering form of the Ziwei Great Emperor with terrified gazes.
Even the Eastern Wasteland Army and the Longevity Palace forces were chilled to the bone.
All those Thought Shattering Realm and Star Shattering Realm experts of the Central Continent Army and the Heavenly God Palace had been completely annihilated within a few breaths! Such a thing was too terrifying!
The battlefield fell into complete stillness. No one dared move, no one dared speak!
All gazes remained fixed upon the imposing figure of the Ziwei Great Emperor.
"You lot finally understand the might of our Ziwei Sect now, don't you? This… this is what you call true foundational power!"
Elder Xuangui, standing beside Ye Yunfei, declared with a triumphant tone.
