Be careful, these Soul Force Energy attacks are formless and invisible, and their destructive power is extremely potent. Moreover, they are very difficult to defend against using ordinary methods,” Hun Lao reminded Ye Yunfei.
“I understand,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei had cultivated a legacy of the Soul Race — the Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art. Therefore, he had some understanding of the Soul Race’s Soul Power attacks.
“I have the Soul-Nourishing Tree. I need not fear these Soul Race members!” Ye Yunfei laughed.
The Soul-Nourishing Tree had three functions. First, it could nourish a Soul Body. Second, it could refine and absorb external Soul Force Energy, making it one’s own. Third, it could also protect the Soul Body like a shield!
What’s more, within Ye Yunfei’s Soul Sea, there was a residual soul of a Heavenly Emperor! After long-term nourishment and repair by Ye Yunfei, this Heavenly Emperor residual soul was gradually becoming complete, transforming into a full-fledged Soul Body.
Now, Ye Yunfei essentially possessed two Soul Bodies!
Therefore, in terms of Soul Body and Soul Force Energy, Ye Yunfei differed from ordinary people, possessing formidable confidence! This was also the main reason why he remained unfazed facing these Soul Race members.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the vast, turbulent ocean of Soul Force Energy surged to before Ye Yunfei, subsequently submerging him.
The mighty Soul Force Energy wanted to force its way into Ye Yunfei’s Soul Sea, aiming to assail his Soul Bodies.
Simultaneously, Hun Lao was also subjected to these terrifying Soul Force Energy attacks.
“Hun Lao, you hide first!” Ye Yunfei said to Hun Lao, then transmitted him into the Illusory Shadow Tower.
In truth, Hun Lao’s Soul Body and Soul Force Energy were very powerful, but Ye Yunfei didn’t want him taking the risk.
Rustle!
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, the Soul-Nourishing Tree materialized within his Soul Sea, extending numerous branches and roots, directly protecting Ye Yunfei’s two Soul Bodies and stretching out in all directions.
Whoosh…
The Soul-Nourishing Tree erupted with a powerful suction force, beginning to refine and absorb the Soul Force Energy that had forced its way into the Soul Sea.
Boom! Boom!
At the same time, both of Ye Yunfei’s Soul Bodies erupted with powerful Soul Force Energy for self-protection.
Very quickly, the Soul Force Energy that had invaded Ye Yunfei was mostly absorbed by the Soul-Nourishing Tree.
However, because the amount of Soul Force Energy attacking Ye Yunfei was simply too immense, surging into his Soul Sea like an endless ocean, he was momentarily overwhelmed, even feeling a faint ache in both his Soul Bodies.
“Truly worthy of being the Soul Race! Soul Power attacks of this magnitude are too frightening. If a Half-Emperor expert were subjected to Soul Power attacks of this level, their Soul Body would probably be shattered instantly!” Ye Yunfei thought to himself with shock.
Boom! Boom!
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, over a dozen Soul Power-type magic treasures simultaneously materialized within his Soul Sea, radiating billowing waves of Soul Force Energy pressure.
Most of these Soul Power-type magic treasures were at the Half-Emperor level, with one being at the Heavenly Emperor level.
Protected by these Soul Power-type treasures, Ye Yunfei felt much more at ease. However, it was still a state of stalemate.
Ye Yunfei stood in the middle of the palace, doing his utmost to withstand the mighty, surging waves of Soul Force Energy attacks from his surroundings.
“Are all these fellows in the Spring Autumn Sect headquarters members of the Soul Race?” Hun Lao asked.
“Probably not. The Soul Race is skilled at controlling the Soul Bodies of other living beings. I estimate that most beings in the Spring Autumn Sect headquarters are Soul Bodies controlled by the Soul Race. The true Soul Race members are likely hidden among these Soul Bodies. I suspect the sect leader is definitely one of them,” Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before replying.
Having cultivated the Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art, Ye Yunfei knew how terrifying this legacy secret technique of the Soul Race was. A single Soul Race member could control a large number of Soul Bodies! After Ye Yunfei cultivated the Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art himself, he had subdued many slaves, firmly controlling their Soul Bodies.
“What? In this human boy’s Soul Sea, there is a great tree! The branches, leaves, and roots of this tree all contain the purest Soul Power laws. This must be a precious tree, and one related to our race! This tree seems to hold an immense attraction for me!”
Just at this moment, the sect leader’s gaze suddenly fixed on the location of Ye Yunfei’s Soul Sea, as if he could see through it.
“Heavens! Could this be the legendary Soul-Nourishing Tree?! For our Soul Race, such a precious tree is a sacred treasure! If I can obtain this tree, my strength will surely rise dramatically, soaring to the heavens! I could even dominate the Soul Race! By the time I return to the Soul Realm, I can rule the entire Soul Race! Haha, excellent!” The sect leader grew more and more agitated, nearly bursting into laughter.
“Good! I must get this Soul-Nourishing Tree! And this human boy’s body is also not bad, far sturdier than my current body! I want his body too!” the sect leader muttered to himself.
The next moment.
Swoosh!
The sect leader suddenly flashed, rushing towards Ye Yunfei with astonishing speed.
How powerful was Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power? He immediately sensed the sect leader’s movement. Ye Yunfei gave a cold smile, staying still and allowing the sect leader to close in.
In an instant, the sect leader rushed to a position right in front of Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei suddenly raised his longsword, unleashing a dazzling sword ray like a thunderbolt! Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei activated the Time Reversal Technique. Powerful time energy directly locked the sect leader in place.
Bang!
Ye Yunfei threw out a punch. Although the sect leader possessed the strength of a Perfected Half-Emperor, facing Ye Yunfei’s sword ray and fist strike, he had no ability to resist at all because he was immobilized by the Time Reversal Technique. With a bang, the sect leader’s physical body was blasted apart.
With Ye Yunfei’s current strength, dealing with a Perfected Half-Emperor was an easy task.
“Not good!” After smashing the sect leader’s body, Ye Yunfei suddenly felt a sense of unease. Because he faintly sensed that something seemed to have already invaded his Soul Sea.
“This is bad, this guy is indeed a true Soul Race member! He’s already invaded my Soul Sea!” Ye Yunfei thought to himself in alarm.
Ye Yunfei’s current Soul Force Energy already far surpassed that of an ordinary Perfected Half-Emperor, yet he was actually unable to prevent someone from forcing their way into his Soul Sea!
For any living being, the Soul Sea was the most vital, most core part! Once the Soul Sea and Soul Body were damaged, for most beings in the world, it meant true destruction!
“Haha… I confirm it! This precious tree is indeed the legendary Soul-Nourishing Tree! Absolutely no mistake! My luck is truly good. I actually ran into a Soul-Nourishing Tree! Such a treasure tree is extremely rare even in the Soul Realm. I never thought I would actually obtain one now! Could this be a sign that I am about to rise to prominence?!”
Right as Ye Yunfei felt a sense of foreboding, a crazed burst of laughter suddenly resounded within his Soul Sea.
