“What?
Cai Feng, you can't sense your own body?”
Xuanlong Daozhang couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Generally speaking, at such a close distance, an avatar could definitely sense the existence of its true body.
“Let's go check it out.”
Ye Yunfei said.
Soon, the three of them walked into the valley ahead.
“It should be right here. I'll dig!”
Xuanlong Daozhang rushed to a flat patch of ground and chopped his palm towards the earth.
“Be careful!
There's danger!
Let's go!”
A sudden thought struck Ye Yunfei's mind, and he shouted loudly at the same time. With a sweep of his sleeve, he whisked Xuanlong Daozhang and Cai Feng along and instantly rushed out of the valley.
BOOM…
As soon as Ye Yunfei and the other two left, thick, billowing golden mist erupted. Then, figure after figure of golden figures charged out from within that mist. They were golden humanoid beings, extremely tall, as if their entire bodies were forged from gold, incredibly solid, giving off a powerful sense of oppression.
“These… Junior Brother, are these the Celestial Gold Race you spoke of?”
Xuanlong Daozhang and Cai Feng, upon seeing those golden beings, couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
“Probably.
Be careful. The Celestial Gold Race is an extremely powerful race!”
Ye Yunfei's expression turned grave as he nodded and cautioned.
BOOM BOOM…
As they were speaking, the golden beings surged forward one after another. The bodies of these golden beings were frighteningly hard, and they possessed immense strength. Wherever they passed, they caused space to shake violently.
BOOM…
Ye Yunfei threw a punch, the surging fist wind shattering the space ahead into pitch-black spatial fissures.
With a *bang*, Ye Yunfei's fist struck a golden being, sending that being shooting away into the distance like a golden cannonball.
BANG! BANG…
Ye Yunfei unleashed several punches in succession, sending the few golden beings at the forefront flying back.
“So they aren't that strong. You gave me a scare.”
Seeing this, Xuanlong Daozhang sighed in relief.
However, in the next moment.
BOOM BOOM…
Those golden beings that Ye Yunfei had sent flying charged back, completely unscathed.
There wasn't even a single fist mark left on the bodies of these golden beings.
“How can these fellows' bodies be so sturdy?”
Xuanlong Daozhang couldn't help but be shocked.
He naturally knew how terrifying Ye Yunfei's strength was. Even a Heavenly Boundary Realm expert at the peak wouldn't dare to directly block a punch from Ye Yunfei. Yet these golden beings, after being struck by Ye Yunfei, had come to absolutely no harm!
BOOM BOOM…
One after another, golden beings charged at Ye Yunfei and the other two from all directions, emanating dense killing intent.
There were so many of them, numbering in the hundreds!
Ye Yunfei swung his fists, continuously knocking golden beings away, but in the blink of an eye, these beings would charge back again.
Xuanlong Daozhang and Cai Feng also made their moves, but even Ye Yunfei couldn't do anything to these golden beings. The two of them had even less of a chance of dealing with them.
Their attacks landed on the bodies of those golden beings with zero effect!
“These guys' bodies are too hard!”
After repelling four or five golden beings, Xuanlong Daozhang felt his hands aching so much they were trembling. He couldn't help but let out a strange cry.
“It's strange. These Celestial Gold Race members seem to be in a daze, confused. It's even possible their Soul Bodies no longer exist. They seem more like puppets.”
As he punched away the golden beings continuously charging at him, Ye Yunfei probed them with his Soul Power. He couldn't help but frown as he spoke.
“Puppets?
That's right!
Junior Brother, hearing you say that, they do resemble puppets!”
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Xuanlong Daozhang also exclaimed.
“Their gazes are vacant, their expressions stiff. They seem to be trapped in a bewildered state, as if their minds are under some sort of control.
They do indeed seem somewhat like puppets.”
Cai Feng observed for a moment, then also nodded in agreement.
“When you two came here before, were these Celestial Gold Race members present?”
Ye Yunfei asked.
“Of course not.
If these fellows were here back then, the two of us wouldn't have had the ability to enter this valley at all.
Back then, I obtained an Auspicious Warding Talisman. Cai Feng and I ventured into this Celestial Gold Forbidden Land. Under the guidance of that talisman, we avoided various dangers along the way and finally arrived in this valley, where we buried Cai Feng's original body.
However, that Auspicious Warding Talisman exhausted its energy afterwards.”
Xuanlong Daozhang replied.
“An Auspicious Warding Talisman?
Hmm, those kinds of talismans indeed exist, but they are extremely rare. Usually, they can only be found in some ancient grotto-heavens.
You two had good luck, obtaining such a talisman.”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and nodded.
Within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, there existed quite a number of talisman papers with magical effects. These talisman papers were all legacies from ancient times. As for who drew them, who left them behind, no one knew.
Not even Heavenly Emperors could trace the origins of these ancient magical talisman papers.
Only creatures with extremely good fortune had a chance of obtaining them.
“Let's go underground and see if we can find Senior Cai Feng's body.”
After some thought, Ye Yunfei said.
BOOM…
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei simultaneously teleported over a dozen black dragons out of the Phantom Tower and had them burrow downwards into the ground.
However, in the next moment, those black dragons were forcefully shaken and sent flying back out of the earth.
“The underground here has been laid with a large number of ancient Formations. Furthermore, many Celestial Gold Race members are buried there. Once we venture underground, we'll face an even more terrifying siege.”
Ye Yunfei shook his head and said.
“Alright, then. Senior Xuanlong, Senior Cai, stay behind me. We're fighting our way into the valley. Let's find Senior Cai's body first, then we can discuss the rest.”
After glancing at the golden beings constantly charging at them from all around, Ye Yunfei spoke up.
“Junior Brother, are you confident?”
Xuanlong Daozhang asked worriedly.
“Confident or not, we have to try. We can't just leave Senior Cai Feng's body here unattended.
Don't worry. Just stay close to me.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“Young Master Ye, thank you!”
Cai Feng said, touched.
“No need for thanks.
Let's move.”
Ye Yunfei said.
BOOM BOOM…
In the next moment, Ye Yunfei's fists alternated forward like lightning, *bang-bang-bang* sending golden being after golden being flying.
RUMBLE…
Five spirit swords appeared, forming the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation as they ground forward, cutting and killing.
CLANG! CLANG…
The Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was like a gigantic, dazzling disk rolling forward, grinding and slicing, shaking golden being after golden being aside.
The sword array left sword marks on the bodies of those golden beings. However, what surprised Ye Yunfei was that the sword marks on those bodies began to automatically heal very quickly!
“The Celestial Gold Race is truly worthy of their reputation!
Their bodies actually possess such powerful regenerative abilities.”
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Fortunately, Ye Yunfei's own strength was formidable. Within moments, he forcefully fought his way into the valley with Xuanlong Daozhang and Cai Feng in tow, arriving at the spot where Cai Feng had previously buried her body.
“Junior Brother, the number of these guys seems to be growing!”
At that moment, Xuanlong Daozhang suddenly cried out in shock.
Large numbers of golden beings continuously appeared both inside and outside the valley, like golden tides continuously surging towards Ye Yunfei and the other two, surrounding and attacking them.
