"Kid, you might have been a little too cocky, knowing full well that Half-Emperor experts were coming to deal with you, yet you still lingered here for so long.
No matter your background, never underestimate a Half-Emperor. You must understand that in this continent, Half-Emperors are the absolute peak existence.
Even within the entire Three-Thousand Worlds, unless a Heavenly Emperor appears, a Half-Emperor can command the world.
Furthermore, even if I activate the Heavenly Dao Tower, the power it can unleash is roughly only equivalent to that of a Half-Emperor. Escaping under the noses of these two Half-Emperor masters is no easy task." Hun Lao said.
"Yes, I was indeed a bit overconfident," Ye Yunfei said, nodding as he felt the terrifying sealing energy suppressing his body.
Since his rebirth, Ye Yunfei had always managed to handle experts of any level with ease. Moreover, deep in his subconscious, he still saw himself as a Heavenly Emperor, which was why he hadn't paid much attention to Half-Emperor experts.
Now, facing the sheer might and energy pressure of two Half-Emperors alone, Ye Yunfei understood that with his current strength and trump cards, he could not defeat them.
Even though Half-Emperors were only one realm above the Heavenly Boundary Realm, their combat power was overwhelmingly superior!
Within a core world, a Half-Emperor could instantly command the energy and laws of a vast expanse of heaven and earth!
"Hahaha...
Kid, you got lucky last time, managing to escape from my grasp.
You won't be so fortunate this time. Surrender quietly!" The Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor expert burst into wild laughter upon seeing Ye Yunfei immobilized. The longsword beneath his feet suddenly accelerated, rushing towards Ye Yunfei.
"Ye Yunfei, you know what I want. Hand it over immediately.
Keeping that treasure on your person will only bring you endless calamity.
If you hand it to me now, I might consider sparing your life.
Moreover, you truly are a rare young talent in this world. I could even let you join the Heavenly God Palace," the Heavenly God Palace Master said as he strode closer to Ye Yunfei. Each step manifested a golden lotus, releasing a terrifying aura that spread across the heavens and earth, causing the very world to tremble with his every footfall.
"I appreciate the offer, but I have no interest in joining the Heavenly God Palace," Ye Yunfei replied coldly.
The Heavenly God Palace Master's expression darkened.
"Palace Master, this is Feixian Continent. This brat has killed so many members of our Sword Emperor Pavilion. I think it's best you leave him to us for punishment," the Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor said with displeasure.
The Sword Emperor Pavilion had already investigated the Heavenly God Palace Master's identity and knew his purpose. They understood that they would eventually be rivals for the Heavenly Dao Tower.
With Ye Yunfei right before their eyes, this Half-Emperor of the Sword Emperor Pavilion knew the Heavenly God Palace Master would certainly compete with him for it!
"What does it matter if this is Feixian Continent?
Your Sword Emperor Pavilion doesn't control all of Feixian Continent.
Ye Yunfei has long been a target of capture for our Heavenly God Palace. Your Sword Emperor Pavilion should mind your own business," the Heavenly God Palace Master replied coldly.
Even though this Sword Emperor Pavilion expert was a Half-Emperor, the Heavenly God Palace Master led the entire Heavenly God Palace and was one of the most powerful top experts in the Xianling Realm. Even after coming to Feixian Continent, he remained a formidable figure who needed to defer to no one.
"Brat, get over here immediately and follow me back to the Sword Emperor Pavilion headquarters to face punishment!" the Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor roared angrily, his eyes glaring at Ye Yunfei.
"What gives your Sword Emperor Pavilion the right to make me face punishment?
I advise your Sword Emperor Pavilion to leave me alone if you don't want your sect destroyed in the future," Ye Yunfei sneered.
"Kid, only fools ask for death! And yet, at such a moment, you still dare to be so arrogant!" the Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor bellowed in rage.
"Ye Yunfei, I've watched you rise all the way from a lower world. I admit, you are truly an outstanding young man.
But you are self-righteous, too arrogant.
In fact, the world has never lacked geniuses; what it truly lacks are geniuses who can survive to maturity. Your character ensures you won't get far," the Heavenly God Palace Master said, shaking his head.
By now, the two Half-Emperors had finally closed in on Ye Yunfei.
"Heavenly God Palace Master, let me repeat, this is Feixian Continent, not your Xianling Realm.
I hope you will not interfere in matters of Feixian Continent," the Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor expert said solemnly, looking at the Palace Master.
"I've already said, Ye Yunfei is a long-standing target of pursuit for our Heavenly God Palace. Your Sword Emperor Pavilion should keep out of this. We do not wish to become enemies with your sect," the Heavenly God Palace Master replied.
"Then there is nothing more to say," the Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor's tone grew much colder.
He understood that they were both here for the Heavenly Dao Tower. Neither would back down.
Now, it was simply a matter of who could seize it first!
Both the Heavenly God Palace Master and the Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor came to a stop not far from Ye Yunfei, their sharp gazes locked on each other.
The two Half-Emperors were both convinced that, regardless, Ye Yunfei would find it impossible to escape their grasp today. What remained was primarily the competition between the two of them.
BOOM! BOOM!
The Heavenly God Palace Master and the Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor acted simultaneously at extreme speeds, each extending a massive hand that swelled to enormous size, blotting out the sky and the earth as they reached out to grab Ye Yunfei.
However, midway through their grabs, both Half-Emperors suddenly changed direction, their great hands colliding directly with the other's!
Thus, this became a clash between the two Half-Emperors.
"Kid, aren't you leaving yet?" Hun Lao suddenly asked via Sound Transmission at this moment.
"I was merely borrowing the auras of these two Half-Emperors to temper this physical body of mine a bit earlier.
Alright, it's time for us to go," Ye Yunfei nodded.
In this life, although he possessed the memories and remnants of a Heavenly Emperor's soul, this physical body was entirely new. If not for possessing the Chaotic God Veins and his consistent efforts in tempering and training it, Ye Yunfei could not possibly have reached such heights in such a short time.
"Not bad. This body of mine can withstand even the aura of Half-Emperor experts," Ye Yunfei thought to himself with some satisfaction.
In fact, both the Heavenly God Palace Master and the Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor felt a sliver of surprise regarding Ye Yunfei. A mere junior, standing so close to the two of them, could actually remain standing there as if hardly affected by the pressure. If it were any other youth of his generation, their physical body and Soul Body would have long been unable to bear the strain and would have been completely crushed, forced to kneel.
Just then, the great hands of the Heavenly God Palace Master and the Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor collided.
BOOM... RUMBLE...
It was as if two divine mountains had slammed into each other, shaking the entire area violently. The terrifying collision energy spread out like a vast ocean in an instant.
Naturally, Ye Yunfei was also affected, his body jolting from the impact.
A small golden Buddha statue appeared in Ye Yunfei's hand, radiating rolling waves of Buddhist light.
The Buddha Body Seal!
BOOM...
The small golden Buddha flew from Ye Yunfei's palm, continuously enlarging, and in the blink of an eye, transformed into an eight-zhang tall golden Buddha figure. It released terrifying energy, and within it, continuous sounds of Buddhist chants reverberated.
"You two, I'll remember today's events," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
