"We're setting out now?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"Within the next two days.
You could depart immediately if you wish.
Take this token. Once you enter the Tianpo Realm, someone will make contact with you—they'll be from our Light Faction."
The Fat Monk took out a token and handed it to Ye Yunfei as he spoke.
"I need to inform my family first. I'll leave tomorrow."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before answering.
"A great number of beings are preparing to enter that secret realm in the Tianpo Realm this time, and many experts at the Immortal Realm will be among them.
I've received word that even powerhouses at the Earth Immortal level intend to venture into that secret realm to probe it.
So you must be very careful.
The main reason I want you to go to that secret realm is to broaden your horizons and gain experience. Besides, you've always had good fortune. Venturing inside might bring you some gains.
But remember this: no matter the circumstance, value your life above all else. Survival is paramount!
If you lose your life, you lose everything!"
The elderly man looked at Ye Yunfei and spoke in a grave tone.
"Senior, rest assured. I will be cautious."
Ye Yunfei nodded heavily.
"By the way.
Seniors, don't the two of you plan to take a look inside that secret realm?"
Ye Yunfei suddenly asked.
"We won't be going.
The situation across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds has grown increasingly complex lately. We have tasks to attend to and must constantly monitor how events unfold.
Besides, you should have realized by now—we are merely two clones.
As for whether our main bodies will go or not, these two clones do not know."
The Fat Monk shook his head as he spoke.
"This junior did indeed notice."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Ye Yunfei had long discerned that the two figures before him were merely clones, not their main bodies.
But this was normal. Some powerful individuals would split off many clones to handle different matters separately.
"Seniors, what exactly is the state of affairs across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds right now?"
Ye Yunfei asked curiously.
"It's extremely complex, far more than we previously anticipated.
In short, it won't be long before the Dark Faction launches a new World-Destroying War. The scale of this war will be unprecedented—one could even call it the ultimate battle!
Based on the information we've gathered so far, in this World-Destroying War, the Dark Faction intends to exterminate all living beings across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, utterly erasing this entire region of space-time!
So, if the Dark Faction wins this World-Destroying War, the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds will become nothing but a wasteland!"
The elderly man's expression turned grim as he spoke solemnly.
"The ultimate battle!
The Dark Faction wants to exterminate all living beings across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?!"
Hearing the old man's words, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel a surge of internal shock.
"Also, right now, the Dark Faction is going around the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds pulling factions into alliances. The Demon Race, the Monster Race, the Netherworld, and some other powerful, unique factions are all targets of the Dark Faction's solicitation.
Even some of the more powerful forces and worlds within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are being courted by the Dark Faction.
Naturally, the main purpose behind the Dark Faction's recruitment of these forces is to deal with our Light Faction."
The old man continued.
"Didn't you say the Dark Faction wants to exterminate all living beings across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?
Shouldn't the Dark Faction be the common enemy of all factions within the Three Thousand Worlds? Why would those factions be willing to join them?"
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei frowned and asked.
"I've explained this to you before.
The reason the Dark Faction has been successful in recruiting those factions is mainly because they've promised them that when the World-Destroying War is launched, those factions will not be affected.
Right now, Dark Faction envoys are everywhere spreading the word that they have no intention of making enemies of the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Their primary enemy is the Light Faction. The purpose of launching the World-Destroying War again is also to deal with our Light Faction.
On top of that, to win these factions over, the Dark Faction has gifted vast quantities of astonishingly valuable treasures.
So now, many factions have already been successfully pulled in and have joined the Dark Faction's camp."
The old man sighed, then answered.
"Since our Light Faction knows of this situation, why not send people to explain the truth to those factions? Once those factions understand the Dark Faction's true goal, they naturally wouldn't choose to join them."
Ye Yunfei asked.
"Do you think our Light Faction hasn't tried? Our faction long ago dispatched numerous envoys specifically to explain the situation to those factions being courted by the Dark Faction.
But the Dark Faction was prepared. Every faction they've set their sights on had been infiltrated in advance. They've planted a large number of their own people within those factions, and many of their high-ranking members had already been secretly bribed by the Dark Faction beforehand. When our Light Faction envoys came knocking, these agents would sow discord, or even resort to violence.
So, our Light Faction envoys simply couldn't persuade those factions.
Only now does our Light Faction realize that the Dark Faction has been secretly planning for this World-Destroying War for a very long time. They've already made all sorts of preparations!"
The old man shook his head, appearing utterly helpless.
"Hmph!
Those fools are hopeless! They actually bought the Dark Faction's pack of lies!
In truth, the target of this World-Destroying War the Dark Faction is launching is all living beings across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds—even including worlds like the Main World, the Monster World, the Demon World, and the Netherworld!
Just wait and see. When the time comes, no one will escape. They'll all become the Dark Faction's targets!"
The Fat Monk snorted coldly.
"By the way, Ye Yunfei, you need to be careful from now on. You're one of the more prominent young talents that have emerged in our Light Faction recently. The Dark Faction has likely already taken note of your various exploits.
The Dark Faction could come after you at any time."
The Fat Monk looked at Ye Yunfei and warned him.
"Seniors, rest assured. I will be careful."
Ye Yunfei nodded in response.
"Alright, we should be going.
Take the token I gave you earlier and enter the Tianpo Realm. Naturally, someone will make contact with you there."
Finally, the old man and the Fat Monk gave Ye Yunfei a few more instructions, then moved, using their movement techniques to depart.
"The Dark Faction has long prepared for this World-Destroying War.
That means once the war begins, the Dark Faction's offensive will undoubtedly be terrifying.
And they've recruited so many factions to their side...
The Light Faction doesn't hold the advantage..."
Watching the departing backs of the two seniors and recalling the old man's words, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to himself.
"My current strength is too weak. I can't influence the coming World-Destroying War at all.
So for me right now, the most important thing is to increase my strength!"
Ye Yunfei clenched his fist.
He then returned to the Vermilion Bird Realm.
Rumble…
The moment Ye Yunfei returned to the Vermilion Bird Realm, he saw the distance dark with Tribulation Clouds, thunder rolling.
The area where the Tribulation Clouds gathered was precisely the location of Tianpeng City!
"Fei'er, Xiao Fei is about to break through!
This time, when she breaks through, she'll be at the Great Perfection Half-Emperor level!"
Ye Yunfei received Miao Ziqiong's voice transmission.
"So it's Xiao Fei breaking through."
Ye Yunfei said excitedly.
Ye Yunfei saw Xiao Fei standing beneath the surging Tribulation Lightning. Though she was a slender young girl, an imposing aura radiated from her entire being.
Xiao Fei was now the most monstrously talented genius of the younger generation within the Vermilion Bird Realm!
The Vermilion Bird bloodline within her body was of the highest grade among the entire Miao Race!
It was even higher grade than the Vermilion Bird King's bloodline!
According to the Vermilion Bird King, Xiao Fei's situation was a case of ancestral reversion!
In a short period, Xiao Fei's realm had continuously risen, breaking through all the way to Advanced Half-Emperor.
Now, she was beginning her charge towards Great Perfection Heavenly Emperor!
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird King arrived with a large group of the Vermilion Bird Realm's high-ranking members, every one of them extremely excited.
In the eyes of these high-ranking members of the Vermilion Bird Realm, Xiao Fei represented the future of their world. That was why they cared so deeply about her cultivation!
