"Your turn!"
Without the slightest pause, Ye Yunfei roared and launched himself at the final Great Strength Beast. He unleashed the True Demon God-Slaying Fist, both fists punching out simultaneously in a mighty surge.
Although this Great Strength Beast possessed immense strength, its combat experience and techniques were far inferior to Ye Yunfei's. Moreover, the power Ye Yunfei commanded was, if anything, greater and no weaker than the beast's. Ye Yunfei was utterly dominating, landing a series of punches fast as lightning, his fist force overwhelming and pushing the creature back step by step.
Boom!
On the final punch, Ye Yunfei successfully triggered the tenfold fist force of the Tenfold Demon Restraint Fist. The single blow sent the Great Strength Beast flying far away, where it violently exploded mid-air, torn to pieces, dying a miserable death on the spot. With Ye Yunfei's current power, triggering that tenfold fist force, one could imagine how terrifying its might was. A single punch had shattered a Great Strength Beast with the combat power of an Initial Heavenly Emperor!
The Blood Clan Clone appeared and began devouring the Origin Essence Blood left behind by those five Great Strength Beasts. Ye Yunfei noticed that this Blood Clan Clone's ability to increase its power by devouring the Origin Essence Blood of living beings seemed to be diminishing.
Ye Yunfei understood; it was mostly because the clone had already consumed an immense, staggering amount of Origin Essence Blood, so the effects were growing weaker. Furthermore, this Blood Clan Clone's potential was not infinite. It would inevitably reach its peak sooner or later. For now, Ye Yunfei only hoped that this Blood Clan Clone could eventually attain combat power at the Heavenly Emperor level! At present, this clone was still incapable of contending with experts of Heavenly Emperor caliber. Compared to a true Heavenly Emperor, it always fell somewhat short.
"Young Master Ye is actually this formidable!"
"For Young Master Ye, an ordinary human, to possess such divine strength is simply a miracle!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei kill five Great Strength Beasts in a row, the giants were both shocked and overjoyed.
"No wonder Young Master Ye insisted on coming out! So his combat power is so powerful!" Elder Qi couldn't help but exclaim in wonder.
"Turns out we all misjudged him! The physical strength Young Master Ye possesses is no weaker than ours, the Giant Clan!" The chief of the Giant Clan also couldn't help but speak up.
"Damnation! How could a puny ant of an ordinary human possess such terrifying physical strength!" The Great Strength Beasts, on the other hand, were both startled and furious, extremely unwilling to accept it.
"How is this possible? This kid's physical strength has become so formidable! Did he obtain some fortuitous encounter within the Great Strength Beasts' ancestral land? Or did the high-level giants help enhance his physical power?" High in the sky in the distance, hidden deep within space, the Soul Emperor observed this scene, also grinding his teeth in rage, his face contorted hideously as he muttered to himself. Although he had followed Ye Yunfei deep into the Great Strength Beasts' headquarters, he had not entered that underground cavern. He lacked the ability to break that stone pillar formation, so he couldn't follow Ye Yunfei inside and thus didn't witness Ye Yunfei's gains there. Within the Giant Clan headquarters, many formations also guarded key areas, so he couldn't see what happened after Ye Yunfei entered the secret chamber. Besides, Ye Yunfei had ultimately entered the Phantom Tower to cultivate. Therefore, this Soul Emperor had no idea why Ye Yunfei's physical strength had experienced such a terrifyingly swift and massive surge.
"Today, I'll kill to my heart's content!" Having slain five Great Strength Beasts in a row but feeling unsatisfied, Ye Yunfei roared and activated Spatial Teleportation, appearing ghost-like before another Great Strength Beast.
This beast's strength was equivalent to a perfected Half-Emperor, no match for Ye Yunfei at all. However, its nature was violent and slaughter-loving. Seeing Ye Yunfei appear before him, it roared furiously and lunged forward. Ye Yunfei flashed, his large hand darting out, catching the beast's tail and lifting it up. In terms of footwork and agility, Ye Yunfei far surpassed these Great Strength Beasts.
Rumble…
Ye Yunfei swung the beast around, using it like a giant iron hammer to smash into nearby Great Strength Beasts.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Instantly, five or six Great Strength Beasts were sent flying, hurled far away. One beast had its head struck, exploding into pieces.
"Young Master Ye is too strong!" Seeing Ye Yunfei's fierce bravery, the giants couldn't help but cheer in unison. Previously, these giants had been warm towards Ye Yunfei because they felt he had helped the Giant Clan, shown them kindness, but deep down they hadn't thought much of his strength. Now, witnessing the power Ye Yunfei displayed, their favorable impression of him instantly skyrocketed, and they began to genuinely accept him from the bottom of their hearts! This was because the Giant Clan had a robust, martial culture; they greatly esteemed true warriors, especially those of immense physical strength!
Bang! Bang!
After swinging the beast around and smashing for a moment, its body had been reduced to a pulp. Ye Yunfei grabbed the tail of another Great Strength Beast and continued his rampage.
Ye Yunfei's footwork and speed far exceeded these beasts. Coupled with his astonishing strength, he could completely crush ordinary Great Strength Beasts! Wherever Ye Yunfei went, he instantly defeated one beast after another, the effect utterly astounding!
"We can't fall behind either! Kill!" The Giant Clan chief roared.
At the chief's command, the Giant Clan forces charged at the Great Strength Beasts like tigers descending a mountain.
The two sides erupted into fierce battle once more.
"Kid, you deserve death!" Several Great Strength Beasts charged at Ye Yunfei simultaneously, all of them Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses. Among them was the very strongman who had captured Miss Qi E, intending to use her for cultivation.
"Protect Young Master Ye!" Seeing this, the Giant Clan chief and Elder Qi both roared.
"Good! I'll try my hand against you lot!" Ye Yunfei showed no fear, flashing and appearing ghost-like before a Great Strength Beast. This beast possessed combat power at the Intermediate Heavenly Emperor level!
Rumble…
Upon seeing Ye Yunfei, this beast roared furiously, its tail lashing out at Ye Yunfei like lightning, instantly shattering the surrounding space. Ye Yunfei felt boundless force bearing down on him like roaring tidal waves.
Rumble…
Ye Yunfei explosively vibrated his physical strength and threw a punch, colliding with the tail.
Boom!
One of the beast's claws constantly enlarged, smashing towards Ye Yunfei like a colossal mountain peak.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei didn't dodge or evade, punching out to meet the beast claw.
A massive surge of power washed over him, shaking Ye Yunfei and forcing him back several steps.
"The combat power of an Intermediate Heavenly Emperor is indeed much stronger!" Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"Kid, I'm going to devour you!" Seeing Ye Yunfei withstand his attack without any injury, this Great Strength Beast leaped ferociously towards Ye Yunfei. Its two claws kept expanding, and it opened its bloody maw, lunging forward to bite.
This beast's mouth was enormous, like an unfathomable dark abyss, enveloping heaven and earth as it sought to devour Ye Yunfei. Unwilling to trade blows directly, Ye Yunfei immediately activated his Spatial Teleportation Talisman, instantly teleporting away and appearing in the distance.
"With my current strength, defeating an Intermediate Heavenly Emperor is still somewhat difficult," Ye Yunfei mused inwardly. The Heavenly Emperor realm also had its gradations: Initial, Intermediate, Advanced, and Perfected. In his previous life, Ye Yunfei had reached the level of Perfected Heavenly Emperor.
"Your turn!" Ye Yunfei charged before another Great Strength Beast and directly launched his assault.
This beast's strength was equivalent to an Initial Heavenly Emperor. Facing Ye Yunfei's fierce onslaught, it quickly lost the upper hand and was ultimately killed by Ye Yunfei in a few punches.
"I can defeat an Initial Heavenly Emperor. That's my current level of strength. Of course, I haven't yet utilized my Soul Power energy," Ye Yunfei thought.
After that, Ye Yunfei specifically targeted Great Strength Beasts weaker than himself, rapidly slaying beast after beast. He knew that in the chaos of a large-scale battle between two armies, he could only help the Giant Clan and ultimately defeat the Great Strength Beast horde by quickly slaughtering more of them. If he only fixed on fighting one or two Heavenly Emperor-level Great Strength Beasts, he might tie up a couple of powerful enemies, but his overall contribution wouldn't be as great.
Sure enough, moments later, as more and more Great Strength Beasts fell to Ye Yunfei's attacks, the beast side's numbers dwindled, and their overall combat power began to continuously decline. The Giant Clan side started gaining the upper hand!
"Retreat! Pull back for now!" A commander of the Great Strength Beast army, realizing the situation was unfavorable, directly issued the order to withdraw.
Hearing the command, the Great Strength Beast forces began a collective retreat, eventually leaving behind a ground littered with their dead as they beat a hasty retreat.
The Giant Clan army had achieved an almost total victory in this battle with minimal casualties. The Great Strength Beast army, however, had suffered severe losses. The number of powerful Great Strength Beasts slain by Ye Yunfei alone reached six or seven, all possessing combat strength at the Initial Heavenly Emperor level!
"That battle was fought to exhilarating satisfaction!" Watching the Great Strength Beast army retreat in disarray, all members of the Giant Clan cheered. They all gazed at Ye Yunfei with ardent eyes. They knew that the one with the greatest merit in this battle, even the one who determined victory, was none other than Ye Yunfei!
"Young Master Ye, let's return and continue the feast! We'll drink until we're thoroughly drunk!" The Giant Clan's high-level members clustered around Ye Yunfei, immensely enthusiastic.
"Alright," Ye Yunfei agreed cheerfully. Many of these high-level giants were Heavenly Emperor-level experts. Forming ties with such powerful allies would definitely be of great help in the future, and Ye Yunfei naturally wouldn't pass up the opportunity.
Thus, they returned to the Giant Clan headquarters and continued the celebratory feast.
"That Soul Emperor is still outside keeping an eye on you," Hun Lao suddenly said.
"I know. I've been aware of him all along. Also, the dozen or so Heavenly Emperors who pursued me before are definitely still stationed outside this planet, waiting for me to come out," Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh. At this point, Ye Yunfei no longer feared those dozen-plus Heavenly Emperors.
"Well then, simply stay here, go into seclusion to cultivate, and break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm. Once you do, you can just slaughter your way out. After you break through to Heavenly Emperor, not only will you have no need to fear this Soul Emperor and those Heavenly Emperor experts, you can also directly return to the Three Thousand Great and Small Worlds to settle accounts with the Three Great Heavenly Emperors and the Heavenly God Palace Master," Hun Lao suggested.
Hun Lao knew that Ye Yunfei's combat power usually far exceeded his cultivation realm. Once he broke through to Heavenly Emperor, even if only Initial Heavenly Emperor, he would likely be able to contend with the Three Great Heavenly Emperors and the Heavenly God Palace Master!
"Yes, next, I need to prepare to assail the Heavenly Emperor realm," Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
