"Die!"
The white-haired old man leading the Heavenly God Palace contingent charged forward at this moment, bringing five Heavenly Boundary Realm experts with him. They erupted with billowing waves of energy pressure, like six terrifying volcanoes.
These six experts from the Heavenly God Palace were furious to the extreme. Their subordinates had been completely annihilated before their very eyes in the span of a few breaths, not a single one remaining.
They had witnessed the entire process, yet had been utterly powerless to save them!
The frustration was unbearable!
At this moment, they only wanted to kill madly, to smash Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang to pieces.
Boom...
Ye Yunfei stamped his foot. Five Black Dragons rushed out from the ground along with over a thousand Green and White Dragons, forming a large-scale Earth Formation that swiftly encircled the leading old man.
Energy from the five Black Dragons seemed capable of shattering the heavens, and wherever they passed, space was shattered into fragments.
Within a core world, Black Dragons were practically the highest grade of Earth Dragons!
Their strength was formidable!
"This is an Earth Master technique!"
The old man was greatly alarmed. Having no other choice, he was forced into a fierce battle against those Earth Dragons. Dense swarms of Earth Dragons surged toward him from all directions, putting him somewhat on the back foot for the moment.
Besides these Earth Dragons, spurred by Ye Yunfei's control, treacherous terrains and absolute deathtraps crashed in from all sides, manifesting all sorts of bizarre phenomena: deities, demons, and Buddhas filling the sky, all manner of rare ferocious beasts and birds of prey, and rolling stars of the heavens falling incessantly, all attacking the old man.
Roar...
The old man bellowed in rage, fighting with all his might.
Swish!
Ye Yunfei faded from sight, disappearing.
An Earth Formation erupted beneath Xuanlong Daozhang's feet. A yellow lotus pedestal bore his body, shifting his position instantly, and he appeared far away in the next instant.
"Where is that brat?
Why can't I sense him?"
An early-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm expert from the Heavenly God Palace was startled to find he could no longer perceive Ye Yunfei's aura.
"I'm here!"
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded as Ye Yunfei appeared behind him, immediately casting the Time Reversal Art. The space around them solidified instantly, and time was forcibly made to reverse slowly.
"What kind of temporal secret art is this?!"
The Heavenly God Palace expert paled in fright as he realized the time on his own body was actually flowing backwards.
Boom...
Ye Yunfei drew the Half-Emperor Longsword, unleashed the One Sword to Pacify the World Sword Intent, and slashed out a thick beam of sword light that swept horizontally toward this Heavenly God Palace expert.
Roar...
Nine Divine Beasts simultaneously rushed out from behind Ye Yunfei. The Azure Dragon soared through clouds and mist. The Black Tortoise trod upon surging ebony waters. The White Tiger spewed forth Gengjin Light from its entire body. The Vermilion Bird bathed within a crimson sea of fire. The Thunder Marsh summoned a sky full of thunder and lightning...
Each of the Nine Divine Beasts manifested astonishing, fantastical phenomena—entirely the racial talents of these legendary creatures—and their power was terrifying to the extreme.
"It seems the Nine Divine Beasts have all begun cultivating their true innate divine abilities. This means my Nine Palaces Totem Wheel technique has started evolving toward its second great realm, reaching the 'Empowerment' level!"
Watching the nine divine beasts whose manifestations shook the heavens, Ye Yunfei felt a surge of excitement.
In his previous life, Ye Yunfei had accidentally obtained this technique within an ancient ruin. At the time, Ye Yunfei had already become a Heavenly Emperor and had cultivated numerous other advanced techniques, so he hadn't immediately practiced this particular art.
Only in this lifetime had Ye Yunfei formally begun cultivating the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel.
Thus, Ye Yunfei still didn't fully understand this technique and was in a state of exploring it while cultivating.
What ultimate power this technique would possess when cultivated to its most perfect state, Ye Yunfei didn't know.
"According to the records of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, when this technique is cultivated to its true, perfect state, the nine divine beasts simulated through the technique can possess one percent of the power of their corresponding true divine beasts!
I wonder if that's true."
Ye Yunfei felt some anticipation within.
To possess one percent of the power of a true divine beast was already utterly terrifying.
One must know, these nine types of legendary divine beasts were far more advanced than even a Heavenly Emperor!
Even legendary deities would not dare to provoke these divine beasts lightly!
"What technique is this?!"
Watching the nine divine beasts rolling toward him to kill, the Heavenly God Palace expert was so terrified his soul almost left his body.
These Nine Divine Beasts now all possessed the strength to easily fight Heavenly Boundary Realm experts. Ganging up on this single Heavenly God Palace expert left him utterly unable to retaliate.
Not to mention he had already been immobilized by the Time Reversal Art.
Puff...
Under the combined attacks of Ye Yunfei and the Nine Divine Beasts, this Heavenly God Palace expert was instantly blasted apart, body and soul eradicated.
"Go to hell!"
On another flank, Xuanlong Daozhang also unleashed his divine might. The horsetail whisk in his hand straightened out like countless spears, blasting another early-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm expert into a bloody mist.
"Roar...
Damn it, the two of you deserve to die!"
The leading old man was embroiled in a fierce struggle against the five Black Dragons and over a thousand Green and White Dragons. Furthermore, numerous treacherous terrains and deathtraps surrounded and trapped him, making it impossible for him to break free in a short time. He could only fume in impatience, his roars shaking the heavens. Rolling sound waves shattered the space in front of him.
Additionally, one late-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm expert was also charging towards Ye Yunfei at full speed.
Ye Yunfei stamped his foot. One Earth Formation after another burst forth continuously like firecrackers, blocking that expert's advance.
Kill!
Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang respectively charged toward two mid-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm experts.
Both of their speeds reached the pinnacle, instantly closing in on those two experts and launching ferocious assaults.
Ye Yunfei wielded the Half-Emperor Longsword in his left hand and clenched his right fist into a fist, constantly attacking. Layer upon layer of sword energy blotted out the sky and covered the earth; grand fist imprints shattered the open sky.
The Nine Divine Beasts each manifested their phenomena, roaring together until the sky itself seemed to lose color.
Swish!
Ye Yunfei flashed, standing right in front of that expert in an instant. In panic and rage, the expert struck Ye Yunfei's left chest with a palm, causing it to explode, flesh and blood flying.
But Ye Yunfei activated the Greenwood Emperor Body. All the flesh, blood, and bone fragments immediately returned to their positions, reassembling his chest.
Agh...
The next moment, the expert shrieked as the Nine Divine Beasts swarmed over him, pinning down various parts of his body. Ye Yunfei delivered a vertical slash with his sword straight down on his head while simultaneously punching his skull, executing this Heavenly God Palace expert on the spot.
Ye Yunfei had deliberately let his chest be struck—it was a strategy to kill this expert in the shortest possible time.
"Little brother, you're too awesome!
You killed your opponent even faster than me!"
Watching Ye Yunfei dispatch his foe almost instantly, Xuanlong Daozhang was both shocked and delighted, shouting excitedly.
Boom! Boom!
He, too, threw all caution to the wind, attacking with full power, directly suppressing his mid-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm opponent with his cultivation realm. After a few moves, he blasted the opponent to death.
At this moment, only two experts from the Heavenly God Palace remained!
One late-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm expert and one complete Heavenly Boundary Realm expert!
"How dare you two slaughter our Heavenly God Palace's people so wantonly. Don't you think about how dire the consequences will be?"
The leading old man stared at the ground littered with corpses, trembling with rage. His eyes bore into Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang as he spat out each word.
The Heavenly God Palace's members were accustomed to walking through various Small Worlds with an air of supreme authority. To be so thoroughly slaughtered by others today was unacceptable to him.
"Hahaha...
What a joke. Even the Palace Lord of your Heavenly God Palace has personally come to hunt me down. You saying things like that now, is it even meaningful?
I'm merely collecting a little interest right now. One day, I will personally storm the Heavenly God Palace's gates, trample the sect into ruin, and smash the Palace Lord's skull!"
Ye Yunfei declared with domineering confidence.
"Hahaha...
Excellent idea, little brother! You must bring me along when the time comes!
We'll raid the Heavenly God Palace together and make a huge windfall!"
Xuanlong Daozhang was very interested.
"From now on, the Three Thousand Realms will absolutely have no place for the two of you. Our Heavenly God Palace will mobilize all its forces to hunt you down and kill you directly!"
The leading old man gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
Rumble...
Right at this moment, in the distant sky, a group of people approached, surging forward and erupting with sharp sword energy that filled the sky, shredding that portion of the firmament into fragments.
The Sword Emperor Pavilion's forces had arrived!
"Ye Yunfei really is here. I see him!
Attack!"
The leading green-robed old man transformed into a terrifying sword beam that slashed across the distance, arriving within this mountainous region instantly.
Moments later, the Sword Emperor Pavilion's forces surrounded this mountain range.
Boom...
At the same time, from another direction, surging ebony fog billowed forth, turning that patch of sky into total darkness. An utterly terrifying icy aura froze everything solid. Crashing down from high above were pieces of black ice.
In the blink of an eye, that ebony fog spread into the mountainous region. Figures emerged from within it, ebony-skinned creatures taking form.
"What kind of beings are these?"
Everyone present was dumbfounded. Ye Yunfei, Xuanlong Daozhang, the Heavenly God Palace members, and the Sword Emperor Pavilion members—they all stared in shock and uncertainty at these bizarre, ebony entities.
"Keke...
They're both indeed here. Take them back."
One ebony entity walked out from the rolling thick black fog, its gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang as it issued a piercing, bizarre laugh.
Clatter...
Ebony chains flew out from within the dense fog, rattling and shaking as they snaked toward Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang.
