In the following hours, led personally by the Vermilion Bird King, the forces of the Miao Clan continued to hunt down and slaughter the members of the Dark Faction and the forces of the Three Great Heavenly Emperors throughout the Vermilion Bird Realm.
Not long after, the Miao Clan regained control of the Vermilion Bird Realm.
The vast majority of the Dark Faction's and the Three Great Heavenly Emperors' forces were annihilated!
Only a small fraction managed to escape by luck!
At the same time, the Vermilion Bird King dealt with a number of traitors within the Vermilion Bird Realm.
When the forces of the Dark Faction and the Three Great Heavenly Emperors had invaded the Vermilion Bird Realm previously, quite a few local factions and beings had betrayed their homeland, pledging allegiance to the enemy.
There were even some clansmen of the Miao Clan who had sided with the enemy.
The Vermilion Bird King showed no mercy, executing all these traitors.
Finally, the Vermilion Bird King returned to the battlefield.
On the battlefield, those several dozen Heavenly Emperors were pooling their strength to try and break through the Formations in one specific direction.
However, the power of the Formations Ye Yunfei had laid down was simply too formidable!
Despite struggling for the better part of a day, the several dozen Heavenly Emperors had not managed to breach a single Formation yet!
They were utterly frantic by now, uniting their might in a frantic, concentrated assault on one particular Formation.
Their immense, overwhelming energy pressure cascaded forth like an endless ocean, constantly bombarding that Formation.
"Look! It seems that Formation has a crack in it!"
Suddenly, one of the Heavenly Emperors shouted in excited surprise.
"It's true! Everyone, put more effort in! Let's shatter this Formation together!"
The other Heavenly Emperors perked up, their spirits lifting.
After laboring for so long, they were finally seeing some results!
Thus, these Heavenly Emperor experts attacked the Formation with even greater fervor.
"Heh heh... You have no chance of escaping. You will all die here today."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei appeared utterly at ease, hands clasped behind his back, standing in the middle of a dozen or so Formations, staring coldly at the Heavenly Emperors attempting to break through.
"Alright, now, prepare to die."
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger.
Boom! Boom!...
A dozen or so Formations began unleashing their full power, erupting with streams of wild, violent Formation energy pillars that rained down upon the several dozen Heavenly Emperors like a torrential downpour.
"Perhaps I'll lay down a few more Formations."
Ye Yunfei observed that while the current dozen-plus Formations could trap and suppress these dozens of Heavenly Emperors, they couldn't slay them quickly. After a moment's thought, he decided to add more.
With a wave of his hand, over a hundred Formation Flags appeared. They soared into the air, growing in the wind until they transformed into towering banners that pierced the sky, their fabric fluttering and snapping violently in the whistling gale.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei's figure moved at high speed, traveling across the battlefield with over a hundred Formation Flags in tow, beginning to set up formations once more.
Within the Tianpo Realm, Ye Yunfei had slain over a dozen Heavenly Emperors and obtained the majority of their wealth. This had included many Formation materials.
Among those slain Heavenly Emperors, a few had frequently studied Formations. Though their skill level wasn't particularly high, their collections of Formation materials were very rich.
All those Formation materials were now in Ye Yunfei's possession.
Moments later, Ye Yunfei successfully laid down another six massive Formations.
Moreover, the power of these six Formations was superior to the previous ones.
Earlier, when laying down the first batch, Ye Yunfei had been forced to be secretive and subtle, with many restrictions to avoid making too much noise. Therefore, the Formations he'd constructed then were not their strongest.
Now he could let loose and construct at his leisure, and these Formations represented Ye Yunfei's absolute peak skill!
Boom...
The six massive Formations activated simultaneously, shaking the entire Vermilion Bird Realm!
Ye Yunfei placed these Formations on the outermost perimeter. Coordinating with the previous dozen-plus Formations, they formed an even larger encirclement, trapping the several dozen Heavenly Emperors within.
Rumble...
In the next instant, the world's energy and natural laws surged from all directions, rapidly converging towards these six Formations.
These six Formations were built upon the very foundation of the entire world's energy and laws. They were the most powerful Formations Ye Yunfei was capable of constructing to date.
Then, under Ye Yunfei's control, these six Formations began unleashing ferocious attacks.
Roar!...
Above one of the Formations, a colossal azure dragon materialized, its gargantuan form stretching across the heavens, a sight that struck awe into all who beheld it. With a mighty roar, the dragon pounced upon one of the Heavenly Emperors.
"What is this thing!"
The Heavenly Emperor was startled, crying out in alarm.
He could feel the terrifying aura emanating from the azure dragon.
Boom...
This Heavenly Emperor summoned forth a massive black seal. It rapidly enlarged as it flew towards the azure dragon to intercept it.
Bang! The black seal was sent flying by a powerful shockwave.
"Ahhh!"
The Heavenly Emperor expert let out a wretched scream, his body torn in half on the spot.
Roar! Roar!...
The other five Formations also manifested various divine beasts and demonic creatures, all radiating astonishing energy pressure as they lunged to attack the dozens of Heavenly Emperors.
Meanwhile, the previous dozen-plus Formations continued to spray volleys of Formation energy pillars without cease, raining sustained attacks down upon the dozens of Heavenly Emperor experts.
The power of Ye Yunfei's newly-laid six Formations was too terrifying. With their addition, the dozens of Heavenly Emperor experts began to falter and could no longer hold their ground.
"Ahhh!"
Screams erupted one after another. The dozens of Heavenly Emperors were blasted in all directions, sent flying by the onslaught.
"Ah! Brat! Release me at once!"
One Heavenly Emperor expert's physical body was smashed to pieces by a surge of Formation energy. He barely managed to reassemble his form, shouting in shock and fury.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger. Four or five Formations simultaneously launched attacks targeting that specific Heavenly Emperor.
"Ah!"
The Heavenly Emperor expert let out a miserable cry; his newly-reassembled body exploded once more.
His Soul Body was also injured!
Whoosh!...
Ye Yunfei's figure flickered, directly arriving before this Heavenly Emperor expert.
Since Ye Yunfei himself had laid these Formations, he could, of course, move within them freely and without any restraint.
Rustle...
The Soul-Nourishing Tree materialized, flinging out a multitude of roots and branches. In an instant, they bound the Soul Body of that Heavenly Emperor expert before forcibly dragging it into Ye Yunfei's soul sea.
"Ah!"
At the same time, another Heavenly Emperor expert nearby was pulverized by the rainstorm of Formation energy pillars.
Ye Yunfei employed Spatial Translocation and instantly appeared beside this Heavenly Emperor expert. The Soul-Nourishing Tree, in cooperation with Ye Yunfei's two Soul Bodies, subdued the Heavenly Emperor's Soul Body within a few moves, then forcibly dragged it into the soul sea.
"Ye Yunfei! By slaughtering so many members of our Dark Faction, have you considered the consequences?!
Your strength is decent, but for our Dark Faction, it amounts to nothing at all.
You utterly lack the capacity to bear the full wrath of our Dark Faction.
I advise you to stop now!"
The leading Heavenly Emperor expert of the Dark Faction, watching Ye Yunfei slay one Heavenly Emperor expert after another, couldn't help but panic, shouting fiercely.
"Heh heh...
Not only did your Dark Faction pursue me to kill me, you also sought to target my parents and family.
The enmity between me and your Dark Faction has passed the point of reconciliation. If I don't kill you, should I just wait for you to kill me?"
Ye Yunfei gave a cold, derisive laugh, wearing a scornful expression.
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei activated the Formations while also personally entering the Formations himself, proceeding to kill one Heavenly Emperor expert after another.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, he could already defeat a Perfected Heavenly Emperor even on his own. Combined with the power of so many mighty Formations, dealing with these Heavenly Emperor experts became even easier.
Furthermore, under the relentless assault of so many Formations, the defensive formations of the Heavenly Emperor experts had been completely broken. They could no longer band together and instead began fighting on their own.
This made them even less of a match for Ye Yunfei.
Less than half an hour later, Ye Yunfei had slain over half of the dozens of Heavenly Emperor experts. Only four of the strongest remained.
"This battle is simply astounding!
The number of Heavenly Emperor experts Ye Yunfei has slain now exceeds twenty!
An event of this nature is absolutely unprecedented within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds! An earth-shattering, epoch-defining event!
If the news of today spreads, the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds will absolutely be thrown into an uproar!"
Standing off in the distance, the Vermilion Bird King watched as Ye Yunfei continuously executed Heavenly Emperor expert after expert. The shock in his heart was simply beyond words.
He knew that in the bygone eras of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, Heavenly Emperors were beings who stood atop the apex of the pyramid. Any single Heavenly Emperor could easily dominate the Three Thousand Realms.
But now, these very same Heavenly Emperors appeared so frail and weak before Ye Yunfei, like a flock of lambs facing a ferocious tiger, with no fate other than being slaughtered.
