Soon after Ye Yunfei and his grand army emerged from the Corpse World, astonishing news spread through the Central Divine Land like a hurricane.
The Corpse World had been obliterated!
From this day forward, there would be no Corpse World in the Central Divine Land!
A major power that had been passed down through countless years had just been wiped out!
Everyone who heard this news was utterly shaken.
The entire Central Divine Land was thrown into a great uproar because of this news.
"Everything is because of Ye Yunfei! A junior who emerged from a lower world actually annihilated the Corpse World!"
"Heavens, this is too incredible!"
"The times are changing, the Central Divine Land is changing! From now on, Ye Yunfei will dominate the entire Central Divine Land. No other faction, no other expert will dare to contend with him!"
"To think, when Ye Yunfei first arrived in the Central Divine Land, he was hunted jointly by the Corpse World and the Tianyou Tomb, forced to flee everywhere. Who could have imagined that the situation would reverse itself. Ye Yunfei has now forcefully suppressed both the Corpse World and the Tianyou Tomb!"
The name Ye Yunfei was being frenziedly discussed everywhere in the Central Divine Land!
"Perhaps, the only one in the entire Central Divine Land who could compete with Ye Yunfei now is the Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace. But the Heavenly God Palace Master has been missing for over a month with no news. Could it be he and the ancestor of the Eastern Wasteland's demon race perished together?" Someone else remembered the Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei, leading the grand Eastern Wasteland Army and the forces of Longevity Palace, marched forth with great momentum towards the headquarters of the Tianyou Tomb.
"The headquarters of the Tianyou Tomb is beneath this run-down little town ahead."
Two days later, near a certain remote town in the Central Divine Land, an old man pointed at the dilapidated town in front of him and said to Ye Yunfei.
This old man was Situ Kong'er's master. He was originally at the Tribulation Birth Realm, but with Ye Yunfei's help later, he broke through to become a Star Shaper Realm expert. Such strength, of course, was not considered strong in the Central Divine Land. However, he was exceptionally skilled in the various esoteric arts of the Miao Shou Gate, which were quite practical.
"To think the famed Tianyou Tomb's headquarters is actually in such a remote, inconspicuous place," Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh.
"Charge straight in! Kill on sight! Destroy the Tianyou Tomb!" Ye Yunfei waved his hand and gave a cold command.
At the same time, at the headquarters of the Tianyou Tomb.
"Elder Liu, is it true? The Corpse World has really been destroyed?"
Within a dim underground cavern sat several dozen old men dressed in black. The old man sitting right in the center frowned as he asked. This old man was precisely the Tomb Master of the Tianyou Tomb! The other old men surrounding him were all high-ranking members of the Tianyou Tomb.
Upon receiving the news of the Corpse World's destruction, these high-ranking members of the Tianyou Tomb had immediately gathered in the meeting hall.
"Tomb Master, this matter is true. The Corpse World was indeed annihilated by Ye Yunfei and his people. Ye Yunfei led the Eastern Wasteland Army and Longevity Palace's forces into the Corpse World, only emerging three days later. Some experts proficient in spatial energies managed to venture inside and found it had become a wasteland, with no living person in sight," an Elder surnamed Liu said with a grave expression. This Elder Liu was in charge of the Intelligence Hall within the Tianyou Tomb, leading a group of excellent scouts responsible for gathering all kinds of information.
"Who would have imagined that the Corpse World, which has existed on the Primordial Continent for such a vast stretch of time, could be suddenly destroyed by a junior. The ways of the world are hard to predict!" a different elder murmured with a sigh.
The expressions of the other high-ranking members were all unpleasant, each one falling silent.
"Tomb Master, after destroying the Corpse World, Ye Yunfei's next target will surely be our Tianyou Tomb. Within the Central Divine Land, besides the Corpse World, our Tianyou Tomb has the greatest enmity with Ye Yunfei. We must prepare our response," suddenly, an elder who looked extremely aged spoke up.
"Indeed, Ye Yunfei's next target will likely be our Tianyou Tomb. Issue an order, from now on, all assassins of our Tianyou Tomb are to cease accepting missions. Also, aside from keeping a few essential Branch Strongholds open, close the majority of our branch strongholds and evacuate all assassins to other locations to lay low. In short, do your utmost to ensure Ye Yunfei has no chance of finding our headquarters or any of our branch strongholds," the Tomb Master thought for a moment before stating this.
"Understood, Tomb Master. I shall go relay the order immediately," one elder stood up, walked out of the cavern, and went to pass on the Tomb Master's command.
"Tomb Master, what worries me the most is that we don't know exactly how many of our branch strongholds Ye Yunfei has discovered. Also, do you all think Ye Yunfei might manage to locate the position of our Tianyou Tomb headquarters?" Suddenly, a rather short-statured elder spoke with deep anxiety.
The other high-ranking members of the Tianyou Tomb started in fright upon hearing his words.
"Impossible! The location of our Tianyou Tomb headquarters is incomparably remote. Since ancient times, no outsider has ever found it. That lad Ye Yunfei may have some strength, but he shouldn't be able to find our headquarters. And, even if Ye Yunfei were to find our headquarters, at worst, we'll just fight him to the death! Our Tianyou Tomb has dominated the Primordial Continent for so long, how could we possibly fear him! Ye Yunfei may have destroyed the Corpse World, but that doesn't necessarily mean he can destroy our Tianyou Tomb!" another high-ranking member declared.
Right at that moment...
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Energetic rumbling sounds descended from the ground above the cavern. The entire patch of land began to shake violently, as if a massive earthquake had occurred.
"What's happening?" All the high-ranking members of the Tianyou Tomb inside the cavern felt a sense of foreboding.
"Disaster! Tomb Master, a great disaster! Ye Yunfei has arrived with the Eastern Wasteland Army and Longevity Palace's forces!"
The next moment, one frantic message after another came streaming down from above.
"Everyone, Ye Yunfei has found us! He has located our Tianyou Tomb headquarters!" Listening to these urgent messages, the Tomb Master instantly turned deathly pale and spoke slowly.
The other Tianyou Tomb elders also drastically changed expression upon hearing this.
Boom...
The tremors in the earth grew even more intense. Magical treasures shot down from the high sky, forcefully cleaving open patches of the land, creating ravines on the ground as deep as abysses.
The Palace Master of Longevity Palace, the five Ancient Primordial Heterogeneous Race ancestors, Elder Zhu, Master Li Mo — all Star Shattering Realm experts took action personally. In a short time, they cleaved the earth open, creating fissures thousands of meters deep, even several kilometers deep in places.
Beneath these fissures were revealed massive, sprawling complexes of underground palaces! These underground palace complexes were precisely the headquarters of the Tianyou Tomb!
"Heh heh... So it really is here. Elder Zhu, the time has come for you of Earth Kill to take your revenge!" Ye Yunfei swept his gaze over the underground palaces exposed at the bottom of the fissures and said to Elder Zhu.
In ancient times, Earth Kill was originally an assassin organization far more powerful than the Tianyou Tomb. Later, it produced traitors, fell into a trap set by the Tianyou Tomb, and was nearly annihilated, with only a small portion of its members going into hiding.
"Yes, today we will surely make the Tianyou Tomb repay their blood debt! Everyone, with me! The time for our Earth Kill's revenge has arrived!" Elder Zhu nodded, then gave a shout. Leading the members of Earth Kill, they formed a battle formation and charged down into the fissures.
Kill!
The Eastern Wasteland Army and the forces of Longevity Palace also surged down like a tide towards the underground palaces below.
Ye Yunfei, his hands clasped behind his back, that piece of yellow cloth hovering above his head radiating waves of divine light, strode down step by step towards the fissures.
Ye Yunfei specifically targeted the most powerful experts of the Tianyou Tomb. With the Great Emperor's treasure in hand, no expert of the Tianyou Tomb could stand against Ye Yunfei!
What surprised Ye Yunfei a little was that the Tianyou Tomb actually still had ten experts of Peak Star Shattering Realm power! During the previous battle between the Eastern Wasteland Army and the Central State Army, several of the Tianyou Tomb's Peak Star Shattering Realm experts had already perished, and now there were still ten remaining! That meant the Tianyou Tomb had possessed over a dozen Peak Star Shattering Realm experts in total! Such strength was much greater than the Corpse World's, and was nearly comparable to the Heavenly God Palace! It had to be said, the Tianyou Tomb's true power had been hidden very deeply!
After most of the day, the Tianyou Tomb was destroyed!
Only a few scattered assassins managed to flee amid the chaos, but they were no longer a force to be reckoned with! Furthermore, Ye Yunfei gave the order for the Eastern Wasteland Army and Longevity Palace to continue hunting down the remaining Tianyou Tomb assassins in the future. In truth, not just the Tianyou Tomb, when the Corpse World was destroyed, there were some members out at various Branch Strongholds. Ye Yunfei had also issued orders to hunt them down.
"From today onward, the Tianyou Tomb shall become a part of history on the Primordial Continent!"
After the battle concluded, Ye Yunfei led his forces out from those underground palaces, soared into the air, swept his gaze over the now ruined headquarters of the Tianyou Tomb, and said indifferently. Then, he led the grand army away.
Merely half a day later, news that the Tianyou Tomb's headquarters had been destroyed began spreading madly through the Central Divine Land, once again causing an uproar across the land!
