"Tianying Wang, are you dead set on making enemies of the three of us?"
Tianluo Great Emperor asked coldly.
"I have no intention of making an enemy of you.
But Young Master Ye is a benefactor of my race, and I intend to protect his safety!"
Tianying Wang replied, his expression unreadable.
"Very well."
Tianluo Great Emperor's face darkened slightly.
"In that case, we'll just kill you along with him!"
Jinwu Heavenly Emperor shouted harshly.
Clang! Clang!
Two massive golden wings suddenly manifested behind him. Golden feathers from the wings surged forward in an endless torrent, transforming into hundreds of thousands of golden flame-arrows that shimmered with radiant light, trailing immense golden flames.
The heat from these golden flame-arrows was terrifying. Wherever they passed, space itself ignited, warping and collapsing under the intense heat.
Tianying Wang brandished his longsword, striking out once. Billions of gray sword shadows manifested, blocking the golden flame-arrows with a deafening series of metallic clangs.
"Since it's come to this, we'll kill them both together."
Youyue Heavenly Emperor made her move as well.
She possessed peerless beauty and a noble bearing. Taking a graceful step forward, ten crescent moons simultaneously rose behind her. Their pristine moonlight instantly illuminated a vast expanse of the Chaotic Void, filling the space with an aura of tranquility, peace, and sanctity.
Yet, within this peace, a terrifying and hair-raising intent lurked. An indescribably dreadful presence was watching Tianying Wang and Ye Yunfei from the unseen.
Swoosh…
The ten crescent moons suddenly accelerated, spinning forward like blades.
Tianying Wang's expression turned grave as a gray robe materialized over his form.
Heavenly Shadow Robe!
Ye Yunfei had borrowed and used this robe before but had already returned it to Tianying Wang.
Swoosh!
Tianying Wang, taking Ye Yunfei with him, retreated instantly, narrowly avoiding the ten crescent moons.
Rumble…
The space where Tianying Wang and Ye Yunfei had just been standing was quietly swept by the ten crescent moons, triggering a massive collapse. Countless fragments of time and space swirled about.
"Let's attack together.
Don't waste any more time!"
Jinwu Heavenly Emperor roared.
The three Heavenly Emperors simultaneously advanced, closing in on Ye Yunfei's location.
Their primary target was Ye Yunfei!
Tianying Wang's brow furrowed slightly.
Facing all three Heavenly Emperors together, he stood no chance of victory.
"Tianying Wang, hold them off for a bit if you can. I'll try to find a way to shake off their tracking,"
Ye Yunfei said, knowing through Sound Transmission that Tianying Wang fighting three emperors alone was a losing proposition.
"Young Master Ye, you should try using the Hidden Shadow Secret Art. It might work,"
Tianying Wang transmitted back. He had just received the art from Elder Yueying and was cultivating it, so he understood its utility.
"I understand."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Good. I'll hold them off.
Young Master Ye, make haste and leave."
Tianying Wang agreed.
"Greater Art of Shadow Partition!"
Tianying Wang gave a low shout, and a vast tide of gray energy erupted like an ocean.
In the next moment, three identical Tianying Wangs appeared, charging simultaneously towards the three Heavenly Emperors.
This was a profound racial inheritance of the Sky-Shadow Race. It allowed for the creation of three clones in a short period, each possessing strength equal to the original body!
Of course, this art could only maintain the clones' power for a limited time.
Rumble…
The three Tianying Wangs launched ferocious attacks, clashing with the three Great Heavenly Emperors.
The commotion created by a battle at the Heavenly Emperor level was simply monstrous.
A vast stretch of the Chaotic Void trembled violently. Many nearby worlds were affected, shaking as if sifting grain. Every living being within those worlds felt their legs go weak, their faces pale with terror, screaming in panic as their worlds descended into chaos.
Due to the sheer intensity of the energies and light emanating from the emperor-level clash, observers from afar could not discern the specifics of the battle between the four Heavenly Emperors.
Even those at the perfected Half-Emperor realm could only vaguely see six figures merging and separating within that expanse of Chaotic Void, unable to make out the details.
Swoosh!
At that moment, Ye Yunfei activated his Space Teleportation Token again, preparing to teleport away.
"Damn it!"
The three Great Heavenly Emperors, sensing the powerful teleportation energy erupting from the token in Ye Yunfei's hand, realized he was about to escape and were furious.
But Tianying Wang's three clones, possessing Heavenly Emperor-level combat strength for now, were formidable. They were unable to break free immediately.
"Take advantage of Tianying Wang blocking the three emperors. Hurry and find a place to hide, then use the Hidden Shadow Secret Art to see if you can break their tracking,"
Hun Lao advised Ye Yunfei.
"Alright, I'll give it a try.
If it truly doesn't work, I'll have no choice but to risk entering some secret realms, forbidden lands, or hazardous areas,"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
However, before Ye Yunfei could complete his teleportation…
"Heh heh…
Kid, it's about time we settled the debt between us."
A cold laugh rang out.
A massive palm suddenly materialized above Ye Yunfei's head, unleashing terrifying sealing energy. It instantly sealed Ye Yunfei's body, freezing him in place.
Rumble…
Vast, dreadful energies like enormous hammers continuously pressed down on Ye Yunfei's body. In an instant, cracks spiderwebbed across his flesh, as if a human-shaped statue was about to shatter.
Boom!
The palm, having appeared, struck towards Ye Yunfei with astonishing speed. The terrifying energy it released enveloped a large swath of the Chaotic Void.
"Heavenly God Palace Master!"
Ye Yunfei immediately recognized the owner of this palm—it was the Heavenly God Palace Master.
"Trouble!
This guy must have been lying in ambush nearby for a long time, waiting until now to make his move against you.
He picked his moment perfectly and had already secretly locked onto your body with his energy before attacking, aiming for a decisive strike!
Damn, the energies released by the earlier emperor-level attacks were too chaotic, twisting and distorting the surrounding space continuously. I didn't even detect another Heavenly Emperor lurking nearby!"
Hun Lao cried out.
Bang! Bang!
By now, Ye Yunfei's body was exploding repeatedly, massive bloody holes appearing one after another. In the blink of an eye, half of his physical form had shattered.
Boom!
At that moment, the Space Teleportation Token erupted once more, attempting to forcibly take Ye Yunfei away.
"Impossible?
What kind of treasure is this jade token exactly, trying to break my sealing energy and teleport him away by force!"
The Heavenly God Palace Master manifested, appearing not far from Ye Yunfei. He looked somewhat surprised at the Space Teleportation Token in Ye Yunfei's hand.
"It's useless, however. Kid, even if this token can teleport you away, I'll have slain you before you depart!
The token will belong to me."
The Heavenly God Palace Master said with a cold laugh.
As his words fell, the Heavenly God Palace Master clenched his palm towards Ye Yunfei.
An utterly terrifying energy immediately enveloped Ye Yunfei's body, intending to shatter both his flesh and his Soul Body.
Thump! Thump!
Ye Yunfei suffered immense damage to both his physical body and his Soul Body.
Ye Yunfei focused his will. Vast, surging sword light rushed forth from within him, coalescing into a thick beam of sword energy as he attempted to resist.
Right at that moment…
"Hmph!
A full Heavenly Emperor, personally attacking a junior. How shameless can you be?"
A cold snort suddenly rang out.
A massive crimson fist, blazing with raging flames, manifested. It struck out with incomparable dominance, heading straight for the Heavenly God Palace Master.
