"Boy, don't get too cocky! No matter how formidable you are, you are no match for our combined forces! Everyone, enough talking. If we don't kill this brat, we'll never have peace!"
At this moment, the Soul Emperor appeared, charging toward Ye Yunfei at a startling speed while roaring.
"Soul Emperor, we originally had no grievances with this kid. You dragged us into this mess!" one Heavenly Emperor retorted angrily upon hearing the Soul Emperor's words.
"What's the use of saying that now! If we can kill this brat, I'll increase the promised reward by half!" the Soul Emperor responded.
"Right. Talking is useless now. This kid clearly holds a deep grudge. If we don't eliminate him, he'll come for us sooner or later. No more nonsense, let's move, surround and kill him!" another Heavenly Emperor spoke up.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
One Heavenly Emperor after another charged toward Ye Yunfei's position from all directions.
"Boy, if you had stayed hidden in the Giant Clan's headquarters, you could have lived a while longer. You actually dared to come out. No one can help you now!" the Soul Emperor sneered.
Rumble...
As the Soul Emperor charged forward at high speed, he released vast amounts of soul force energy that surged toward Ye Yunfei like an ocean, intent on crushing him.
Clang! Clang!
Weapons formed from condensed soul force energy continuously manifested, countless in number, dense and numerous like a torrential downpour, aiming to slash at Ye Yunfei's Soul Body.
These weapons forged from soul force could penetrate many physical obstacles and were incredibly fast, catching up to Ye Yunfei in an instant.
Rustle...
Sensing the threat, the Soul-Nourishing Tree immediately appeared within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, sprouting countless branches, leaves, and roots that stretched out behind him, entangling those soul force weapons before dragging them back into the Soul Sea to be refined.
"Boy, hand over the Soul-Nourishing Tree!" Seeing the tree within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, the Soul Emperor's eyes burned with greed as he bellowed fiercely.
"If you want the Soul-Nourishing Tree, come and take it if you have the skill," Ye Yunfei retorted with a cold laugh.
"Boy, stop right there!"
Just then, a Heavenly Emperor appeared before Ye Yunfei, summoning a black nine-story pagoda that descended to suppress him.
Earlier, the dozen-plus Heavenly Emperors had formed multiple layers of encirclement inside and out to prevent Ye Yunfei's escape. This Heavenly Emperor had been lying in ambush within the space ahead, waiting for Ye Yunfei to arrive.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei threw a punch. His golden fist, which continuously enlarged, collided with the black pagoda.
Rumble...
The black pagoda erupted with a terrifying pressure of energy, shaking Ye Yunfei's body violently and forcing him to retreat dozens of steps.
This black pagoda was a fearsomely powerful treasure! Even with his current physical strength, Ye Yunfei couldn't withstand it.
"Hahaha... Boy, now you know its power! Go die!" the Heavenly Emperor roared with mad laughter.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei had no intention of fighting this Heavenly Emperor head-on. With a thought, he directly unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword, the One Thought Soul-Devouring Flower, and the Puppet Soul Thread secret technique, launching a triple assault on the Heavenly Emperor's Soul Sea.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token, instantly traversing space and teleporting away.
"Soul force secret arts! How is this kid's soul force so powerful? It can actually threaten me!" Under attack from three soul arts simultaneously, the Heavenly Emperor was terrified and hastily retreated a great distance.
In his shock and fury, he sent a message to the Soul Emperor. "Soul Emperor, this kid's soul force probably isn't much weaker than yours!"
"In the Heaven Soul Realm, apart from me, every member of the Soul Race has been devoured by him. How could his soul force not be powerful!" the Soul Emperor replied irritably.
"Impossible!" The Heavenly Emperor was dumbstruck.
"Boy, where do you think you're escaping to!"
At this moment, Ye Yunfei had already teleported to another point in the starry sky. As soon as he steadied himself, another Heavenly Emperor appeared, bellowing and charging to attack.
"Take my Formation Bead!"
The Heavenly Emperor hurled a white bead the size of a fist that radiated rolling waves of formation energy.
"Be careful! This bead contains a Formation that can be instantly activated!" Hun Lao shouted a warning.
Rumble...
Hun Lao released a large amount of spatial energy, forcibly distorting the space around Ye Yunfei.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei sent dozens of formation flags flying out. They grew in the wind, embedded themselves into space, and released vast formation energy to counter the white bead.
Swoosh!
The Space Teleportation Token was activated again, taking Ye Yunfei through another dimensional leap.
The next moment, a large-scale Formation materialized, enveloping the spot Ye Yunfei had just occupied.
"Damn it! That kid's reactions are too fast. He escaped even then!" The Heavenly Emperor was livid, his face turning green with rage.
Following that, Ye Yunfei continuously used the Space Teleportation Token to break through the obstruction of Heavenly Emperor after Heavenly Emperor, finally managing to escape their encirclement.
"After him!"
A dozen Heavenly Emperors had failed to intercept a mere junior, even allowing him to calmly slip out of their trap. All of them felt ashamed, their faces green with anger as they pursued Ye Yunfei at full speed.
Without being fueled by Space Crystals, the Space Teleportation Token could only perform short-distance teleports. Ye Yunfei used the token repeatedly, teleporting continuously as he fled toward the distant starry sky.
The dozen Heavenly Emperors chased relentlessly.
They continuously wielded spatial energy, unleashing spatial secret techniques to try and seal Ye Yunfei from a distance. But with the combined strength of Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao, they were powerless to seal him remotely.
The Soul Emperor repeatedly employed various soul force secret arts to attack Ye Yunfei's Soul Body. However, Ye Yunfei's soul force wasn't far inferior to the Soul Emperor's, and with the Soul-Nourishing Tree protecting him, he wasn't afraid of the Soul Emperor's soul arts.
"Thank goodness you obtained that token in the Sword Grave. Otherwise, fleeing from the pursuit of so many Heavenly Emperors would have been very difficult," Hun Lao remarked.
"True. If I didn't have this Space Teleportation Token, I would have been captured by the Three Great Heavenly Emperors and the Heavenly God Palace Master back in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Everyone, give it your all. If so many of us can't even handle a junior, how shameful would it be if this were to spread in the future!" Finally, the Soul Emperor flew into a rage, transmitting his words to the other Heavenly Emperors.
Boom!
The next moment, the Soul Emperor suddenly erupted, flames spewing from his body. He had begun burning his origin essence blood!
Swoosh!
In this state of burning his origin essence blood, the Soul Emperor's speed instantly increased.
"Alright then! Everyone, hold nothing back! No matter what, this brat must be killed!" The other Heavenly Emperors, having pursued Ye Yunfei for so long, were also utterly enraged.
Boom! Boom...
Every Heavenly Emperor began burning their origin essence blood, releasing terrifying energy pressure that shook this patch of starry sky.
Swoosh! Swoosh...
After burning their origin essence blood, the speed of these Heavenly Emperors became truly frightening.
"No choice. Another batch of Space Crystals about to be wasted!" Sensing the situation behind him, Ye Yunfei felt somewhat helpless.
He then inserted a large batch of Space Crystals into the Space Teleportation Token, initiating a long-distance teleport.
Swoosh!
The next moment, Ye Yunfei teleported to the starry sky far ahead. Without specific spatial coordinates, he could only teleport randomly, with no clear destination!
"Damn it! That brat has started accelerating his teleports too!" The Soul Emperor at the rear sensed Ye Yunfei's actions and felt both alarmed and furious.
After that, Ye Yunfei used the Space Crystals to perform two or three consecutive long-distance teleports.
On the final teleport, Ye Yunfei found that he had actually barged into an unfamiliar Small World!
"Huh? Why do I sense a familiar aura within this Small World?"
As soon as he entered, Ye Yunfei felt puzzled and spoke with confusion.
"Indeed, I have the same feeling!" Hun Lao answered.
"Look! A tomb!"
Just then, Hun Lao suddenly pointed toward the deepest part of the Small World, exclaiming in surprise.
The deepest part of this Small World was shrouded in many black, yin-cold mists. Within those black mists, the faint outline of a massive, ancient tomb could be discerned, faintly discernible.
"That... seems like the Tomb of Heavenly Burial!" Staring at that ancient tomb veiled in black mist, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but blurt out.
