"Understood, Palace Master. I will begin the divination immediately!"
The old wizard nodded at once.
"Ye Yunfei!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's name caused many among the Heavenly God Palace's higher-ups to hate so much their teeth ached. Countless experts and soldiers of the Heavenly God Palace had died at Ye Yunfei's hands.
Now that the Heavenly God Palace Master had become a Heavenly Emperor, the power and influence of the Heavenly God Palace had skyrocketed. The time for revenge had arrived!
"Palace Master, I will immediately dispatch people to track down Ye Yunfei's whereabouts!"
An elder stepped forward and said.
"Good.
Once his location is ascertained, notify me at once. I wish to meet him personally."
The Heavenly God Palace Master nodded.
Having had two or three of his clones severed by a junior, the Heavenly God Palace Master could not swallow this grievance.
"Furthermore, not only must we track Ye Yunfei, we must also mobilize all our power to hunt down and suppress any factions and all creatures related to him.
From this moment on, he shall have no place to stand within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!"
The Heavenly God Palace Master pondered for a moment, then added.
"I understand, Palace Master!"
That elder nodded heavily.
This elder had previously been in charge of operations to hunt Ye Yunfei. Many of his trusted subordinates and soldiers had died by Ye Yunfei's hand, and several of his beloved disciples had also been killed by him. Thus, his hatred for Ye Yunfei ran deep.
"Ye Yunfei, just wait. Provoking our Heavenly God Palace means your time of death has come!"
The elder turned and left to arrange the search operation, thinking darkly to himself, his killing intent boundless.
The Heavenly God Palace Master's breakthrough to become a Heavenly Emperor had caused every member of the Heavenly God Palace to be inflated with confidence, feeling that their palace was now the number one superpower in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, that they could kill whomever they wished. There will be no obstacle—just a simple matter!
Inside the Phantom Tower.
"Hun Lao, I've already cracked the seal on the sixth level of the Heavenly Dao Tower. We can enter now."
Using his Soul Power, Ye Yunfei had soon undone the seal on the sixth level of the Heavenly Dao Tower and spoke to Hun Lao.
"Good, let's enter immediately."
Hun Lao nodded.
Their figures flashed simultaneously as they entered the sixth tower body of the Heavenly Dao Tower.
The space of the sixth level was very small, merely the size of a small room.
Within the room, there was only a stone table. Upon the stone table rested an aged, withered branch emanating an ancient, desolate aura.
At first glance, this branch was unremarkable—just a dry, even cracked, branch. But upon closer inspection, one would discover that around this branch, indistinct scenes continuously surfaced. Within those scenes, one world after another phantomed into existence and vanished, alternating with one another.
Moreover, there were streams of phantasmal, translucent, profound runes swirling around it, resembling a layer of illusory mist, appearing hazy and mysterious.
"This is..."
Upon seeing the withered branch, Hun Lao couldn't help but tremble, appearing extremely agitated.
"Little Hun, you've finally reached the sixth level.
I've left you a gift on the sixth level.
It's this branch.
I think I don't need to explain—you should already have guessed its origin.
Indeed, like you, this branch also belongs to the Chaos World Tree.
Back then, I encountered two branches of the Chaos World Tree. Both had experienced extremely long ages. One had initially developed a consciousness; the other had not.
Later, I kept both branches by my side.
Little Hun, that branch which developed consciousness is you. I have always kept the other branch within the Heavenly Dao Tower.
It is the branch before you now.
Little Hun, based on my deductions, you and this branch likely fell from the same Chaos World Tree. So you may attempt to fuse with it.
If you can fuse with it, it will definitely allow your power to increase tremendously and grant the possibility for you to become an emperor in the future.
Do not doubt my words. The Chaos World Tree is a legendary divine tree, far surpassing a Heavenly Emperor in rank.
Try it. Good luck to you."
At this moment, Guhuang Great Emperor's voice rang out.
"So it really is so!"
Hearing Guhuang Great Emperor's words, Hun Lao grew even more agitated, walking step by step towards that branch.
"Another branch of the Chaos World Tree!
No wonder it possesses such advanced laws of time and space!"
Hearing Guhuang Great Emperor's explanation, Ye Yunfei was somewhat shocked.
"Guhuang Great Emperor, you treat me too well!"
Standing before that branch, Hun Lao said emotionally.
"Hun Lao, follow Guhuang Great Emperor's suggestion and give it a try. If you can fuse with this branch, your strength will definitely skyrocket!"
Ye Yunfei said to Hun Lao.
"Alright, I will try."
Hun Lao nodded.
"Kid, you should begin working on the seventh level seal now."
A while later, having calmed his emotions, Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright."
Ye Yunfei exited the sixth tower body and sat cross-legged within the Phantom Tower, beginning to decipher the seal on the seventh tower body.
At this time, Hu Miao was piloting the flying ship as it swiftly made its way towards the location of the Sword Grave.
"Everyone, I have just received a Sound Transmission from Great Emperor Tianluo. If we wait here, that kid is sure to pass through this location before long!
Let's lie in ambush here and wait for him!"
In the Chaotic Void, at a certain location, stood a large group of beings. Their auras were sharp. One of them, an old man in gray robes, declared loudly.
These beings all hailed from various major sects and great clans within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds—all of them were Half-Emperors, their strength formidable!
Hearing the gray-robed elder's words, the others nodded.
"Everyone, these formation flags were given to me by Great Emperor Tianluo. They form a complete formation set called the Net of Heaven and Earth Formation.
To activate this Net of Heaven and Earth Formation, we need to work together to set it up.
Once successfully arranged, it will completely seal off this entire expanse of space. As long as that kid barges into the formation's range, he absolutely won't be able to escape!"
The gray-robed elder waved a hand. A large batch of Formation Flags appeared before the crowd. These flags were extremely numerous and came in various different colors. Each flag emanated rich spatial energy, causing the surrounding space to warp faintly.
"The legendary Net of Heaven and Earth Formation!"
Upon hearing the gray-robed elder's words, some among them couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The Net of Heaven and Earth Formation was a renowned ancient formation within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. It was said to be held by a master formation master who had long lived in seclusion. To think that to deal with a junior, Great Emperor Tianluo had actually bestowed the Net of Heaven and Earth Formation!
"Alright, everyone. Let's begin working together to set up the formation now.
Each person only needs to be in charge of a portion of the formation flags!"
The gray-robed elder spoke gravely, waving his hand. An illusory orientation diagram appeared floating in the space before him.
Subsequently, these Half-Emperor experts began cooperating to set up the formation.
At the same time, within the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei was focused on decrypting the seal of the Heavenly Dao Tower's seventh level.
Hun Lao, meanwhile, had found a spot within the Phantom Tower to begin attempting to fuse with that branch of the Chaos World Tree.
