With a metallic clanging sound...
Eighteen black chains surged forth from Tian Luo's body, each bursting with strange, sinister black runes. The eighteen chains swept across the vast sky toward Ye Yunfei.
In an instant, the surrounding space-time was submerged by these black runes.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Ye Yunfei retrieved an Emperor-Grade longsword and swiftly slashed out one sharp sword beam after another, deflecting the eighteen black chains.
In the Sword Tomb, Ye Yunfei had studied the graves of over a thousand Heavenly Emperors who specialized in swordsmanship, inheriting their sword dao legacies.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei had now mastered nearly a thousand different swordsmanship legacies!
Previously, while still at the Half-Emperor level, Ye Yunfei had been unable to fully unleash the power of these sword dao inheritances.
Now that Ye Yunfei had broken through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, employing those Heavenly Emperors' sword dao inheritances, their power had increased dramatically!
It could be said that Ye Yunfei was now absolutely the swordsman of the highest caliber among Emperor-Realm experts within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Hundreds of millions of sharp sword energies shot toward the heavens, a murderous aura soaring to the skies.
This was an incredibly domineering sword technique. The terrifying sword energy slashed the surrounding space to pieces, like shards of shattered glass.
"How can this kid's swordplay be so frightening!"
Among the three Great Heavenly Emperors, Jin Wu was the weakest. Coupled with having his physical body shattered once by Ye Yunfei earlier, his combat prowess was diminished. Faced with these terrifying sword energies Ye Yunfei unleashed, Jin Wu dared not confront them head-on, retreating repeatedly, looking utterly disheveled.
Tian Luo and You Yue also wore grave expressions, exerting their full strength to resist the sharp sword energies that rolled toward them like a boundless ocean.
A black shield materialized in front of Tian Luo, blocking his body.
You Yue, utilizing moonlight, conjured a translucent energy screen that exuded a chilly aura. It hovered in the space before her, blocking wave after wave of sword energy.
"Ye Tian Di's combat power far exceeds our imagination.
We must fight with everything we have!
We can hold nothing back!"
The longer the fight went on, the uglier Tian Luo's expression became, his voice deep and serious.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
The three Great Heavenly Emperors began fighting desperately, unleashing one ferocious attack after another, while also deploying several high-level Emperor-Grade Treasures. The battle was of an earthshaking rending and the sky breaking apart scale.
This was a legendary great battle. The four Heavenly Emperor powerhouses seemed to have fallen into a state of frenzy.
This was Ye Yunfei's first true Emperor-Realm battle in his lifetime.
Previously, the ones Ye Yunfei had killed in the Tianpo Realm were merely Primary and Intermediate Heavenly Emperors; there hadn't been a single Advanced one among them.
This time, Ye Yunfei was simultaneously fighting three Perfected Heavenly Emperors!
It was a high-intensity, fierce battle.
At the beginning, Ye Yunfei was a bit rusty. The execution of his techniques, the transitions between various secret arts, and the timing of his attacks weren't yet in their most optimal state.
After all, the three Great Heavenly Emperors, as veteran Perfected Heavenly Emperors within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, were not to be underestimated either. All three were Perfected Heavenly Emperors, having immersed themselves at this level for countless years.
Moreover, being able to break through to become emperors in the era of comparatively inferior and restricted Great Dao laws, they were all monstrously talented figures themselves. Their combined attack against Ye Yunfei was terrifyingly powerful.
However, gradually, Ye Yunfei began finding his rhythm.
Spiritual energy, Soul Power, physical strength, Mental Force, temporal energy, spatial energy, along with one powerful secret art after another were unleashed in an endless stream. The more he fought, the smoother he became, forcing the three Great Heavenly Emperors back step by step.
It must be said that this battle was horrifying. Countless energies, magic treasures, and sword energies clashed and exploded chaotically, causing this region of space to collapse on a massive scale.
Infinite light and energy intertwined. Beings whose strength was insufficient couldn't clearly discern the figures or movements of either side.
They could only see four indistinctly blurred figures moving back and forth within that terrifying spatial region.
"Damn it!"
As the fight reached a fever pitch, Ye Yunfei let out a long roar, unleashing every means at his disposal. All sorts of energies simultaneously burst forth, weaving together and boiling furiously, appearing even mightier and more terrifying.
*BOOM!*
Ye Yunfei abruptly charged forward, driving over a hundred Emperor-Grade artifacts toward Jin Wu, while simultaneously directing several terrifying sword formations to encircle and slash at Jin Wu.
Among the over thousand Heavenly Emperors' sword dao inheritances, at least several dozen specialized in sword formations—all of which Ye Yunfei had inherited.
"ARGH!"
Jin Wu was utterly incapable of resistance. With a blood-curdling scream, he was sent flying, his body exploding once again with a *BANG!*, flesh and blood scattering in all directions.
"Ye Yunfei! Just you wait! I won't let you get away with this!"
Jin Wu's Soul Body appeared, letting out a shrill shriek before turning to flee.
How could he dare face Ye Yunfei any longer?
"Did you really think you could escape?"
Ye Yunfei was already prepared.
*Hummm…*
Waves of powerful Soul Power surged from Ye Yunfei's head like an infinite ocean, instantly catching up to Jin Wu's Soul Body and pinning him in place.
This was the Soul Forbidding Art!
An inherited secret technique of the Soul Race!
Now Jin Wu was in his Soul Body state, and Ye Yunfei's Soul Power had already surpassed that of even the Soul Race members in the Tianpo Realm!
Dealing with Jin Wu in his Soul Body form was naturally effortless.
"Ahhh… Save me!"
Jin Wu's Soul Body, immobilized and restrained there, was frightened out of his wits, screaming at the top of his voice.
"Save him!"
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor experts of the Dark Faction who had been standing in the distance began rushing over with swift movements.
Jin Wu had already pledged allegiance to the Dark Faction; naturally, they didn't want to see him fall.
Tian Luo and You Yue also rushed over with all their might, seeking to prevent Ye Yunfei from annihilating Jin Wu.
"No one can save you!"
With a great roar, Ye Yunfei unleashed the Time Reversal Art.
Hun Lao also used a secret art to distort space.
Working together, Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao instantly froze the surrounding space.
The charging Heavenly Emperors felt their movements grind to a halt.
*Rustle… Rustle…*
The Soul-Nourishing Tree emerged, casting out numerous root tendrils and branches that ensnared Jin Wu's Soul Body, trussing it up like livestock. Then, it forcibly pulled Jin Wu toward Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Let me go!"
Jin Wu's Soul Body struggled desperately.
Two Soul Bodies suddenly surged from Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, flanking Jin Wu from left and right and forcefully grabbing onto him. Working together with the Soul-Nourishing Tree, they instantly dragged him into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"You're next!"
Ye Yunfei charged toward You Yue, barking a fierce shout.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
A massive golden sphere rolled forward, slamming into the full moon hovering above You Yue's head and sending it flying.
You Yue paled with terror, turning to flee.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Ye Yunfei unleashed infinite sword energy, forcibly shredding the various defensive measures around You Yue's body. The sword energy slashed at her physical form, instantly rending her blood-drenched from head to toe.
"DIE!"
Ye Yunfei charged toward You Yue like a raging tyrannosaurus.
"Get away from me!"
You Yue screeched, gripping an oddly shaped longsword and slashing at Ye Yunfei from an unorthodox angle.
*Clang!*
Instead of dodging or evading, Ye Yunfei blocked with a swing of his fist, his punch violently shaking the sword out of her grasp.
*Boom! Boom!*
Then, adopting the most barbaric fighting style, Ye Yunfei released his physical strength, channeling it into his fists, and threw punch after punch at You Yue.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
In just a few punches, the tenfold force of the Demon Forbidden Fist was triggered.
"AHHH!"
With one final scream, You Yue's body was blown apart by a punch.
