Amidst his wild laughter, Elder Zhong laboriously moved his steps and ascended the Altar, walking towards the human skeleton on it.
The gravity restriction on the Altar was even more terrifying. Although Elder Zhong's strength surpassed Ye Yunfei's, now that he had reached the Altar, his progress was equally difficult, inching forward bit by bit.
"This is the outcome for those who covet treasures they are not qualified for!" Elder Zhong sneered mockingly as he passed by Ye Yunfei, his voice filled with disdain.
He then continued his gradual approach toward the skeleton in the center of the Altar, seemingly close to reaching it.
Right at that moment, an ethereal, intangible energy suddenly appeared and violently slammed into Elder Zhong's body.
"Ah…!"
The elder cried out, his body sent flying backward by the impact and crashing down outside the Altar.
On the Altar, Ye Yunfei's body began to move slowly. Even though Ye Yunfei's body at this moment looked like a pile of mangled flesh, life still lingered within it, and its vitality was growing increasingly potent.
Inside Ye Yunfei's body, the Greenwood Emperor Body was circulating madly. Simultaneously, the Soul-Nourishing Tree within his Soul Sea was protecting his two Soul Bodies.
Thus, although Ye Yunfei's flesh appeared utterly wrecked, it had not suffered any fundamental damage and still possessed vigorous vitality.
