Whoosh!
The old woman waved her hand, and a pristine white jade hairpin flew out, erupting with a pure, radiant glow that instantly illuminated this patch of the Chaotic Void, revealing every minute detail.
A terrifying aura silently pervaded the area, sending chills down everyone's spines and making their hair stand on end.
Boom! Rumble...
The colossal sword and the jade hairpin hovered together in this patch of void, each radiating fearsome energy pressures.
Both were treasures bestowed by a Heavenly Emperor!
"Two Emperor Treasures!"
Ye Yunfei looked at the two treasures and couldn't help but frown.
If they were merely two Emperor Treasures, Ye Yunfei naturally wouldn't fear them. After all, he had quite a few Emperor Treasures on him himself; pulling out a couple at random would be enough to deal with them.
However, these two Emperor Treasures contained imperial-grade restrictions. Once activated, the energy they unleashed would be immensely powerful, far surpassing that of an ordinary Perfected Half-Emperor.
It was as if the two Heavenly Emperors had stored a portion of their energy within these treasures, albeit not a complete portion, so they wouldn't attract the Ancient Covenant!
"Heh heh…
Young man, you are indeed a monstrous talent. At such a tender age, to possess combat prowess like this—I doubt there are many like you across the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
However, you have offended the Three Great Heavenly Emperors. Even if you were a hundred times more monstrous, it would be useless. Your fate is sealed.
Within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, the Heavenly Emperors are the masters!
All are mere ants beneath their feet!"
The old woman urged the jade hairpin forward, pressing closer as she spoke with a cold laugh.
"Everyone, you two attack from the front. The rest of you, surround him from the sides! Together, we will slay this brat!" roared the white-haired, white-bearded elder.
Boom! Boom!
The two Emperor Treasures erupted simultaneously, releasing vast waves of energy pressure that surged towards Ye Yunfei like two immense, boundless oceans.
As the two Emperor Treasures were activated, everything in this patch of void was instantly suppressed, as if all motion had ceased.
The other Half-Emperor experts also swiftly executed their movement techniques, closing in from both sides to encircle Ye Yunfei and launching a frenzied barrage of attacks together.
"Kid, be careful. The energy possessed by these two treasures is of the imperial level!" Hun Lao warned.
"I know."
Ye Yunfei gave a slight frown, his figure flickering as he retreated, evading the attacks.
These two Emperor Treasures contained portions of the power of the Tianluo Great Emperor and the Youyue Great Emperor. With his current strength, Ye Yunfei could not confront them head-on.
"Those two Heavenly Emperors really went to great lengths to kill you. Not only did they bestow a powerful formation, but they also sealed a portion of their power within these two treasures," Hun Lao remarked.
"Of course, they desperately wish to eliminate me," Ye Yunfei sneered.
He knew that the Three Great Heavenly Emperors were definitely aware that he had been reborn, crossed back through time, and begun cultivating anew.
While such a thing was miraculous, Ye Yunfei believed that Divination Masters of great ability were capable of deducing such matters.
"It seems there must be a highly skilled Divination Master somewhere in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds who is divining information about me.
Heh heh, one day, I really must make a point to meet this Divination Master," Ye Yunfei mused to himself.
Boom! Rumble...
The two Emperor Treasures locked onto Ye Yunfei and continued pressing closer.
"These two Emperor Treasures actually each contain a wisp of Imperial-level Soul Power imprints!"
Ye Yunfei's eyes narrowed. He discovered that lurking within the two Emperor Treasures were two wisps of Soul Power imprints at the Heavenly Emperor level.
Though these two wisps of Imperial-level Soul Power imprints were extremely faint, they contained the memories of two Heavenly Emperors and could command the two treasures in battle.
To a certain extent, it was almost as if the Tianluo Great Emperor and the Youyue Great Emperor themselves were personally controlling these treasures to attack Ye Yunfei.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the two Emperor Treasures drew ever closer, their vast, ocean-like energy pressure thoroughly sealing off this patch of space.
Thump!
Under the suppression of the two Emperor Treasures, Ye Yunfei's body was knocked flying backward, struggling to stand firm.
This made Ye Yunfei understand that, in a real fight, direct confrontation would not go in his favor.
"Haha…
Excellent! The treasures bestowed by the two Heavenly Emperors can indeed deal with this brat! Everyone, put in more effort! Let's combine our strength and slay him!"
Witnessing this, the Half-Emperor experts all cried out in ecstatic glee.
Boom! Boom...
All the Half-Emperor experts began attacking even more ferociously. Frenzied streams of attacks rained down on Ye Yunfei like a torrential downpour.
"Kid, I suggest you retreat for now. There's no need to fight them head-on.
If you wish to leave, I can perform a spatial secret art to directly warp this patch of space, allowing you to depart safely," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright.
Let's go for now."
After a moment's thought, Ye Yunfei nodded in agreement.
"Good, let's go!
As the saying goes: While the green mountains last, there'll be wood to burn," Hun Lao said.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Hun Lao appeared right beside Ye Yunfei, releasing a profound spatial energy that rippled outwards in all directions.
Immediately, the surrounding space began to twist and deform, layer upon layer, like rolling waves.
As a result, time and space within this patch of void became bizarre and kaleidoscopic, extremely unstable.
All the attacks raining down on Ye Yunfei, due to the warping of spacetime, completely changed direction.
"Let's go!"
Hun Lao extended a branch, wrapped it around Ye Yunfei, took a few steps back, then strode forward into the depths of space, heading away into the distance.
"Not good! A tree is helping that brat escape!"
The Half-Emperor experts all shouted in alarm.
"Everyone, release your spatial energy together to stop him from fleeing!"
Many beings yelled loudly.
Boom! Boom...
All the Half-Emperor experts released their spatial energy, aiming it towards the location from which Ye Yunfei was departing in an attempt to hinder his escape.
However, Hun Lao's mastery of spatial energy far surpassed theirs. These Half-Emperor experts simply had no ability to stop Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao from leaving.
In the blink of an eye, Hun Lao had carried Ye Yunfei far away, vanishing from sight.
Having fused with another branch of the Chaos World Tree, Hun Lao's spatial energy had advanced by leaps and bounds, now approaching the level of a Heavenly Emperor!
"We cannot let that brat escape!
We pursue!"
The white-haired, white-bearded elder's face darkened as he shouted harshly.
Boom! Rumble...
He urged the colossal sword, cleaving through the distance towards Ye Yunfei's receding figure.
Boom!
The old woman also activated the jade hairpin, which instantly pierced through space, chasing after Ye Yunfei.
The two Emperor Treasures continuously traversed spacetime, locking onto Ye Yunfei and pursuing him relentlessly.
Each contained a wisp of Heavenly Emperor-level Soul Power imprints, enabling them to lock onto Ye Yunfei's aura and chase him unerringly.
The other Half-Emperor experts followed from behind, constantly crossing space as they tailed the two Emperor Treasures.
"Two wisps of Heavenly Emperor Soul Power imprints think they can truly lock onto me that easily?
Not a chance!" Hun Lao sneered.
Hun Lao had already awakened several Chaos World Tree divine abilities. When unleashed, their effects were mystifying and unpredictable.
After a short while...
"World Sunder!"
Hun Lao, having reached a certain location, suddenly gave a light shout.
Boom! Rumble...
The surrounding space suddenly cracked, splitting into several spatial fragments that rapidly moved away in different directions.
Each spatial fragment carried a faint shadow of Hun Lao.
In moments, all these spatial fragments shot into the distance and vanished.
The next moment, the two Emperor Treasures arrived at this location.
But the two Emperor Treasures could no longer pinpoint Hun Lao's exact whereabouts, forced to stop at this spot.
Shortly after, the other Half-Emperor experts also arrived in pursuit.
"Where is that brat?
Could we have really let him escape?"
None of the Half-Emperor experts were willing to accept this.
So many experts had acted together on the orders of the Heavenly Emperors. They had initially thought dealing with a mere junior would be an easy task, never expecting to end up in such a sorry state.
So many had been killed. Later, they had only managed to gain the upper hand by relying on the two Emperor Treasures, and even then, they had ultimately let Ye Yunfei escape.
"Let's go to Swordgrave!"
By this time, Hun Lao, having taken Ye Yunfei far from those Half-Emperor experts, had already appeared in another stretch of Chaotic Void. After some thought, Ye Yunfei spoke.
Thus, Ye Yunfei continued on towards the location of Swordgrave.
