Boom…
At that very moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently, and a rumbling noise could be heard approaching from afar.
It was as if countless colossal steel carriages were grinding the earth beneath them.
"Chief! This is bad! A Great Strength Beast army is marching towards us!"
The man rushed in from outside the city wall, running up to the Clan Chief in a panic.
"Those beasts are demanding we hand over Young Master Ye! They say Young Master Ye trespassed into their ancestral land, stole their ancestors' inner cores, and took away their treasures!"
"Outrageous!" Elder Qi immediately roared in fury.
"Those beasts dared to capture my daughter, and now they dare to send an army into our Giant Clan's territory? They simply don't place our Giant Clan in their eyes!"
Naturally, he knew Ye Yunfei had entered the Great Strength Beasts' ancestral land to save his daughter.
"Mobilize the army immediately! Prepare for battle!" the Clan Chief bellowed, his rage ignited by the report. He slammed his wine cup to the ground and stood up, his voice fierce.
"This time, we will show those beasts the might of our Giant Clan!"
"Young Master Ye, do not worry. In our Giant Clan's territory, those beasts won't be able to lay a single finger on you," Elder Qi said to Ye Yunfei.
"Heh…" Ye Yunfei let out a faint smile.
"I might not necessarily fear those beasts now."
Ye Yunfei's physical strength had exploded from over twenty thousand Jiao to three hundred thousand Jiao. His body was flooded with a seemingly endless, primal, colossal force, and he was itching to find a target to test his hand.
Now that this Great Strength Beast army was attacking at his doorstep, Ye Yunfei wasn't afraid in the slightest. Instead, he felt a twinge of anticipation.
He was eager to see what kind of combat effectiveness his newly acquired, monstrous physical power could unleash.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power immediately spread out to sense the distance. Sure enough, he discovered a massive tide of Great Strength Beasts surging forth menacingly on the horizon.
Within the Giant Clan headquarters, the Clan Chief's order was swiftly carried out, and the Giant Clan army was soon mobilized and assembled.
"Young Master Ye, please stay here and continue drinking. Wait for us to return victorious," Elder Qi said to Ye Yunfei.
He did not plan to let Ye Yunfei participate in the battle, as in his estimation, Ye Yunfei's level of strength was insufficient to handle such a scene.
Especially since the Great Strength Beast army seemed to be targeting Ye Yunfei specifically!
"No," Ye Yunfei replied.
"I will go out and take a look. Elder Qi, rest assured, I have the power to protect myself."
Ye Yunfei was precisely itching for a fight and searching for a target to test his skills. How could he be willing to miss such an opportunity?
"Young Master Ye…" Elder Qi was somewhat troubled.
"I entered the Great Strength Beasts' headquarters and returned safely," Ye Yunfei said with a light laugh.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Then… alright," Elder Qi said, seeing Ye Yunfei's firm attitude. After some thought, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
To be honest, he was also somewhat puzzled. How had Ye Yunfei, given his realm, managed to enter the Great Strength Beasts' headquarters, and even venture into their ancestral land to rescue his daughter?
Elder Qi asked himself frankly that even with his own strength, attempting to enter the ancestral land to save his daughter wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Elder Qi immediately secretly instructed two elite warriors of the Giant Clan to stay close to Ye Yunfei and protect him during the battle.
"Attack!"
At the Clan Chief's command, he led the charge out of the city, directly confronting the surging Great Strength Beast army in the distance.
Ye Yunfei stood on the shoulder of a giant, looking quite relaxed.
Just then.
"Hmm?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze suddenly shifted to a particular direction in the distance.
"Someone is watching you!"
At this moment, Hun Lao also sensed something. He employed a spatial secret technique, probing the direction Ye Yunfei was focusing on.
"I can sense his aura now—it's the Soul Emperor! So he's already infiltrated this planet. It's likely he's been observing your movements from afar all this time!"
Hun Lao's mastery of spatial energy was extremely high, and he possessed certain secret techniques of the Primordial World Tree lineage, granting him astonishing perceptual abilities. He detected the Soul Emperor hiding within the space in the distance before Ye Yunfei could.
"It is indeed the Soul Emperor. I can sense him too now," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"He wants your Soul Nourishing Tree. He's dead set on it and won't let you off easily," Hun Lao said.
"If there's a chance to kill him, I won't let him go either," Ye Yunfei replied, frowning slightly.
"However, his main body is a Soul Body. Using physical strength against him seems to have limited effect. So, at the moment, I don't have any truly effective means to deal with him."
"That's right," Hun Lao agreed.
"To deal with this fellow, you would need to surpass him in terms of Soul Power."
"However," Hun Lao added, "given your current level of Soul Power energy, plus your other trump cards, it wouldn't be easy for him to kill you either. I estimate that once you break through to the Emperor realm, you'll be able to handle him."
At this moment, the armies of the Giant Clan and the Great Strength Beasts finally clashed!
Both sides came to a halt, facing each other in a tense standoff.
"Hand over that ordinary human immediately!"
A large Great Strength Beast stepped out from the ranks, pointing a claw accusingly at Ye Yunfei in the distance and roaring with fury.
"That brat trespassed into our ancestral land, stole the inner cores of our ancestors, and stole my cultivation resources! He deserves ten thousand deaths!"
Ye Yunfei recognized it—this was the powerful Great Strength Beast who had entered the ancestral land, discovered him, and initiated the chase.
It was this very beast that had intended to use Miss Qi E's Origin Essence Blood for cultivation, only to be thwarted by Ye Yunfei's timely intervention.
Ye Yunfei immediately sent a sound transmission to Elder Qi, telling him that this powerful beast was the one who had captured Miss Qi E to use for cultivation.
"Roar… You beast!"
Elder Qi was instantly incensed, fixing a furious gaze upon that powerful Great Strength Beast.
Boom…
In his rage, Elder Qi stomped the ground violently with both feet. His massive form shot skyward like a sacred mountain, leaping towards that Great Strength Beast.
Attack!
Elder Qi's strike was like lighting the fuse. The armies of both sides immediately charged at each other.
"You few! Help me capture that human brat! I want to tear him into ten thousand pieces with my own hands!" the powerful Great Strength Beast said to several beasts beside it.
Then, this powerful beast engaged in fierce combat with Elder Qi.
A terrifying, large-scale battle erupted completely.
Both the Giant Clan and the Great Strength Beasts were primarily strength-based factions. The fight shook the heavens and split the earth, with dust and debris blotting out the sky.
The ground in the area underwent violent earthquakes. The tall mountains surrounding them were directly shattered by the fearsome clashes, leveled flat.
The two giants tasked with protecting Ye Yunfei flanked him on either side, repelling the Great Strength Beasts that charged their way from time to time.
They did not launch any proactive attacks.
Suddenly.
Boom! Boom!
Six Great Strength Beasts charged towards Ye Yunfei's position from six different directions simultaneously!
These six beasts were specifically targeting Ye Yunfei, their assault sudden and coordinated.
Moreover, these six beasts possessed formidable strength—two of them had strength equivalent to that of a Heavenly Emperor!
This Great Strength Beast army had come specifically for Ye Yunfei, and they had pre-arranged for two Heavenly Emperor-level beasts to deal with him.
Thud! Thud!
Caught off guard, the two giants protecting Ye Yunfei were directly sent flying by the impact.
Growl…
The six Great Strength Beasts surrounded Ye Yunfei, revealing ferocious expressions.
"Not good!"
The nearby giants all paled with fright. By now, they all regarded Ye Yunfei as a friend of the Giant Clan and were deeply concerned for his safety.
"Save Young Master Ye quickly!"
The high-ranking members of the Giant Clan shouted in alarm, swiftly turning around and charging towards Ye Yunfei's position.
Elder Qi also spun around, rushing to save Ye Yunfei.
But it was already too late.
One of the Heavenly Emperor-level Great Strength Beasts had already made its move against Ye Yunfei.
Rumble…
The beast shook its massive body, unleashing a terrifying power that instantly sealed the space around them. Its tail lashed out like lightning, sweeping towards Ye Yunfei to entangle him.
Simultaneously, one of its beastly claws swung out, smashing towards Ye Yunfei.
The other five beasts tightly encircled Ye Yunfei, cutting off his escape routes.
These six beasts felt that a mere ordinary human wasn't worthy of them all attacking simultaneously.
Ye Yunfei did not dodge or evade.
He threw a single punch, employing the True Demon God-Slaying Fist. The vast and mighty power of 300,000 Jiao poured forth like a flood, directly blasting the space in front of him to pieces.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei's fist collided with the beast's claw, producing a dull, thunderous explosion.
Next, Ye Yunfei extended a palm and forcefully grabbed the tail that was sweeping towards him. With a roar, he channeled his full strength, hoisting the beast upwards in one explosive motion. He then swung it, actually lifting the colossal beast's body clean off the ground!
He wielded it like a giant windmill, whooshing it through two full circles, then released his grip, hurling the massive beast towards the ranks of the Great Strength Beast army in the distance.
Crash! Bang!
The beast's body was enormous and its weight formidable. It crashed through dozens of Great Strength Beasts along its trajectory, before finally demolishing half of a distant mountain peak.
This beast's strength roughly corresponded to an Initial Stage Heavenly Emperor. The physical strength Ye Yunfei possessed was actually already a bit superior to it. Add to that the fact the beast hadn't taken Ye Yunfei seriously at all and was extremely complacent. Thus, it was defeated in a single move, hurled away by Ye Yunfei.
How is this possible?!
Witnessing this scene, every single member of the Giant Clan and the Great Strength Beasts was dumbstruck, unable to believe their eyes.
A seemingly insignificant ordinary human had instantly and overwhelmingly defeated a powerful Great Strength Beast?
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei took a single step, appearing in front of another Great Strength Beast. He punched forward.
For this punch, Ye Yunfei employed the True Demon God-Slaying Fist.
An inexhaustible, overwhelming force empowered his fist.
This beast's strength only corresponded to a Peak Half-Emperor. Facing Ye Yunfei's berserk force, it simply had no power to resist whatsoever.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei's fist punched straight through, directly blasting the beast's body apart. It was like smashing an enormous watermelon. Chunks of flesh, bone, and blood splattered in all directions as if a rain of blood had fallen.
The Blood Clan Doppelganger appeared, executing its Blood Control Divine Ability. It directly absorbed all of the beast's Origin Essence Blood and swallowed it.
Ye Yunfei's movements were incredibly swift. Employing three consecutive spatial teleportations, he punched and killed one Great Strength Beast each time, slaughtering three more.
Of the six beasts that had initially surrounded Ye Yunfei, only one now remained.
The strength of this remaining beast also corresponded to an Initial Stage Heavenly Emperor.
Growl…
The last beast was a bit dazed by Ye Yunfei's string of ferocious, wolf-like, tiger-esque maneuvers. It couldn't believe its five companions had been dispatched so swiftly. It took two steps back, glaring angrily at Ye Yunfei, but a trace of panic was also evident in its eyes.
