"The Main World and our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds have indeed long been isolated from one another. Moreover, it is said that the Ancient Covenant not only governs our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds but also imposes constraints upon the Main World. Under ordinary circumstances, beings from the Main World cannot enter the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
But now it's different. The heavens and earth have undergone great change. Anything is possible.
No one knows what will happen to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds next.
No one can stand apart, including you, and including me as well."
Lao Xiazi sighed softly.
Hearing Lao Xiazi's grave words, the three Heavenly Emperors also furrowed their brows.
In an era where even Heavenly Emperors could fall, the three of them dared not guarantee their own safety during the great turmoil to come.
"Let's leave aside the great turmoil of the future for now. First, we must find that Heavenly Emperor Ye. Since he has been reborn in this era, it's clearly aimed at us.
I truly wish to meet this Heavenly Emperor Ye now."
Jin Wu suddenly spoke.
"Good.
Let's go, we'll find Heavenly Emperor Ye."
Tian Luo nodded.
Thus, the three Heavenly Emperors simultaneously took a step forward and vanished.
"Master, who exactly formulated the Ancient Covenant? Is it truly so formidable that it can constrain even the Main World?"
After the three Heavenly Emperors had departed, a young disciple curiously asked Lao Xiazi.
"The Ancient Covenant was formulated by the Deities," Lao Xiazi replied.
"Deities?
Master, do Deities truly exist in the world?"
Another young disciple asked in astonishment.
"Of course Deities exist in the world. Haven't you heard the saying, 'A deity watches from just three feet overhead'?
It's just that Deities are a taboo. We should avoid discussing Deities whenever possible, especially those of us who cultivate the divination arts. We must never speak carelessly of Deities, or the consequences will be severe."
Lao Xiazi said sternly.
At the same time.
At the edge of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, within a certain small space, a dim, gray little shrine sat quietly in a remote patch of wasteland.
The interior of the shrine was exceedingly simple. There was an altar table thickly coated with dust, and upon the altar table lay a sheet of yellow paper.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
It was so simple it barely resembled a shrine at all!
At a certain moment.
Suddenly, a vast amount of black mist began to seep out from deep within the space surrounding the shrine, emanating an eerie aura, slowly advancing to envelop and submerge the shrine.
"The Ancient Covenant is a sacred object! How dare you sources of darkness harbor delusions of eroding it!"
From within that sheet of yellow paper on the altar table inside the shrine, an authoritative roar suddenly sounded, like the rage of heaven descending, shaking the heavens and causing this little space to begin trembling.
BOOM!
A torrent of divine light surged forth from within the shrine. Golden lotuses condensed from the great laws of the Dao continuously appeared, encircling the shrine's surroundings.
A terrifying surge of energy clashed towards the black mist, seeking to expel it.
"Hehe...
Everything shall ultimately fall into eternal darkness. The Dark Abyss is the final home of all things in this world.
Resistance is futile.
Come, embracing the darkness is your only path."
A sinister, chilling laugh emerged from within the black mist, grating on the ears.
BOOM!
As this voice sounded, the roiling black mist surrounding the shrine began to churn wildly. A dreadful wave of energy pressure crashed against the shrine from all directions.
A large black hand extended from within the black mist, throwing a fist at the small shrine.
A large golden hand materialized within the shrine, swatting a palm to block that black fist.
BOOM!
The attacks from both sides collided, like two armies clashing in battle.
The space around the shrine continuously crumbled, producing many black spatial rifts, as if this small space was on the verge of destruction. It was terrifying.
Finally, the large golden hand condensed within the shrine began to gain the upper hand, forcing the black hand to retreat repeatedly until that black hand was shattered.
An unknown length of time passed. The black mist surrounding the shrine was finally expelled completely, without a single trace remaining.
"Hehe...
I'll be back.
Remember, everything in this world shall ultimately fall into eternal darkness!"
That sinister voice traveled back from distant space-time, causing this small space to tremble violently.
"The dark source has reemerged. The era of great turmoil approaches.
Rivers of blood will flow throughout the world, it's inevitable."
After a long while, a sigh emerged from within the small shrine.
Feixian Continent, Tianhuang Demon Forest.
Ye Yunfei was still sitting cross-legged before the refining cauldron, controlling the heat within it.
Now, the five swords within the cauldron were almost fully forged!
Those Golden Crow Sect disciples in the distance had been cursing at Ye Yunfei all along, ordering him to hand over the cauldron to them immediately.
But Ye Yunfei hadn't even glanced at them from beginning to end.
"Hmph, kid, just you wait. Elder Qiu of our sect has received our transmission and is on his way.
Don't say I didn't warn you, Elder Qiu is an expert at the late-stage of the Heavenly Boundary Realm!
Furthermore, Elder Qiu has brought along three supervisors and a group of elite disciples from our Golden Crow Sect!
Kid, unless you come out now, kneel before us, kowtow in apology, and obediently offer up that great cauldron, only then will you have a sliver of a chance at survival.
Otherwise, your death is assured.
Not only you, but even your family and sect behind you may be implicated!"
One of the Golden Crow Sect disciples pointed a finger at Ye Yunfei and shouted sternly.
They had actually repeated this same content to Ye Yunfei many times already.
Finally, Ye Yunfei was somewhat tired of it.
Swish!
Ye Yunfei unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword.
"Ahh!"
The Golden Crow Sect disciple who had been pointing and cursing at Ye Yunfei let out a miserable scream. His body was flung backward, vomiting blood repeatedly from his mouth before crashing onto the ground in the distance. His head lolled to the side and he fell unconscious, though whether he was alive or dead was unknown.
Given Ye Yunfei's current Soul Power, the might of the Heavenly Soul Sword he unleashed was too terrifying, how could these Golden Crow Sect disciples possibly withstand it?
"What happened?"
Seeing this, the other Golden Crow Sect disciples all went pale and simultaneously retreated a dozen steps.
"Everyone be careful, that's a Soul Power martial technique!"
The man in the golden shirt leading them said with a gloomy expression.
Looking at their fellow disciple lying unconscious in a pool of blood, the other Golden Crow Sect disciples felt chills run down their spines.
"Whoever dares to speak another word, dies."
Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke, his voice cold.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, those Golden Crow Sect disciples couldn't help but take another step back, expressions of fear on their faces.
Right at this moment.
"The Five Elements Spirit Swords are finally ready to leave the furnace!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a smile.
Swish, swish…
At that very moment, from a direction in the distance, a group of people and horses suddenly appeared, swiftly rushing towards the Tianhuang Demon Forest.
"Quick!
I seem to have detected that kid Ye Yunfei's aura!
It's within that mountainous region!"
An elder at their head shouted loudly.
"Quick!
Ye Yunfei must be within the Tianhuang Demon Forest!"
From another direction, a cluster of figures radiating sword light quickly approached.
