Starting from now, when I use this Space Teleportation Token again, it won’t be like before, where it constantly required consuming vast amounts of Spatial Energy Crystals. It’s convenient and economical.”
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Then, Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token and transported himself back to the secret room in Tianpeng City within the Vermilion Bird Realm.
“Next, I’ll begin cultivating Time Energy.”
Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of Time Immortal Crystals and began refining and absorbing them.
Inside the Phantom Tower, after about a year had passed.
Ye Yunfei discovered his Time Energy level had increased by fifty or sixty times!
Cultivating Time Energy was much more difficult than cultivating Spatial Energy. Being able to achieve such results already left Ye Yunfei feeling quite satisfied.
“Now to elevate my Soul Force Energy level.”
Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of Immortal-grade Soul Crystals from his spatial ring and began refining and absorbing them.
In the blink of an eye, another year passed within the Phantom Tower.
“Immortal-grade energy crystals truly are extraordinary. My Soul Force Energy level has increased by roughly over a hundred times!”
Ye Yunfei stopped cultivating Soul Force Energy.
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, one clear and substantial Soul Power halo after another continuously bloomed from his head, overlapping upon each other like rippling water waves spreading outward.
In his soul sea, that Soul-Nourishing Tree had grown even taller, becoming a complete sky-piercing giant tree, with countless billions of branches, leaves, and roots!
This Soul-Nourishing Tree had always been growing alongside the improvement of Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power energy.
Moreover, this Soul-Nourishing Tree had already merged with Ye Yunfei’s soul body from his previous life, becoming one entity. Thus, this Soul-Nourishing Tree was now a part of Ye Yunfei!
Swoosh!
A long sword shot out from Ye Yunfei’s soul sea, suspending itself before him and exuding powerful Soul Power energy.
The Soul Sword!
Crack… crack…
The energy aura released by the Soul Sword caused the surrounding space to constantly twist, distort, and then shatter. In moments, a swath of space was shattered into nothingness.
As Ye Yunfei’s Soul Force Energy level rose, the might of the Soul Sword became even stronger!
Merely the aura it released was enough to shatter the surrounding space!
“With my current Soul Force Energy level, this Soul Sword can already wound the soul bodies of high-level Mystic Immortals! Even encountering a Perfected Mystic Immortal, I can now engage them head-on!”
Ye Yunfei sensed the aura of the Soul Sword and said confidently.
In the Ancient God Ruins, Ye Yunfei had already come into contact with numerous Immortals. Whether Mystic Immortals, True Immortals, or Earth Immortals, he now understood roughly the degree of their strength.
“Alright, next, it’s time to cultivate the Great Tathagata Eighteen Palms and the Time-Space Annihilation Art!”
Ye Yunfei murmured inwardly.
“I’ll cultivate the Time-Space Annihilation Art first!
With my current Spatial Energy level and Time Energy level, practicing this movement technique shouldn’t be too difficult.”
Ye Yunfei took out the jade slip for the Time-Space Annihilation Art and began studying it.
After thoroughly reading the general guidelines of this technique over a dozen times, Ye Yunfei began to practice.
The Time-Space Annihilation Art, as the name implied, was a high-level movement technique that combined Spatial Energy and Time Energy!
Inside the Phantom Tower, after about two years.
Ye Yunfei finally succeeded in preliminarily executing the Time-Space Annihilation Art!
Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei’s figure instantly grew faint, transforming into a shadow-like presence that seemed there yet not there.
Then, this shadow began to twist like smoke carried by the wind, slowly dissipating.
In reality, this was merely an illusory image Ye Yunfei had left behind. His true body was already far away from Tianpeng City.
Swoosh… swoosh…
Ye Yunfei continuously executed the Time-Space Annihilation Art, leaving behind shadow after shadow within this world. These figures appeared in different positions, then slowly faded away.
For a time, there were at least a dozen shadows of Ye Yunfei in this world.
All dozen-plus figures carried Ye Yunfei’s aura.
Under such circumstances, unless a creature possessed exceptionally powerful perception, it would be fundamentally impossible to discern which one was Ye Yunfei’s true body.
Yet, at this moment, Ye Yunfei’s true body was still continuously traversing space-time at a startling speed, appearing in one different location after another.
Ye Yunfei’s figure lingered at each location for only an instant before directly piercing through space and departing.
“So this is the Time-Space Annihilation Art.”
Finally, Ye Yunfei returned to Tianpeng City. Releasing his Soul Power energy, he sensed the dozen-plus images of himself slowly dissipating in the distance. He finally understood the intricacies of this movement technique.
Overall, this Time-Space Annihilation Art had three very distinct functions. First, under the combined effect of Spatial Energy and Time Energy, its space-traversing power was extremely potent, and its speed was astonishingly fast—so fast that even Soul Power found it difficult to perceive.
Second, it could utilize the Laws of Time to leave behind a figure carrying one’s own aura at every location passed through, misleading others into believing it was the true body, thus concealing one’s own traces.
Third, once activated, this technique could cleverly evade enemy attacks using Spatial Energy and Time Energy. Using this technique in combat to dodge attacks was highly effective.
“No wonder Mr. Liu specifically gifted me this movement technique. He must have discerned that I’ve cultivated the Spatial Teleportation Technique.”
Ye Yunfei said gratefully.
Indeed, this Time-Space Annihilation Art was essentially an upgraded version of the Spatial Teleportation Technique!
“Next, I’ll begin cultivating the Great Tathagata Eighteen Palms!”
Ye Yunfei spoke, then took out the jade slip for this technique. He started studying it, reading it over a dozen times before entering a state of cultivation.
Inside the Phantom Tower, roughly a year passed.
“I’ve finally attained the entry-level of the first layer of this palm technique.”
Ye Yunfei ceased cultivation, stepped out of the Phantom Tower, and began to test the power of this technique.
The Great Tathagata Eighteen Palms consisted of a total of eighteen layers.
Each layer comprised one palm strike!
Simultaneously, the power of each layer could be divided into four levels: Entry, Lesser Accomplishment, Greater Accomplishment, and Perfection.
Currently, Ye Yunfei had only cultivated the first layer to the Entry level.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei soared into the air, stood above Tianpeng City, extended his palm, and aimed a palm strike toward the distant space.
The next moment, a palm imprint appeared, continuously enlarging as it swept forward majestically. Vaguely, streams of Buddhist radiance bloomed from that palm.
Boom… rumble…
A vast expanse of space ahead instantly disintegrated, shattered, then utterly vanished into nothingness.
In less than a second, a vast stretch of space was completely destroyed, leaving behind a gigantic palm-shaped spatial black hole—dark and gloomy, resembling a bottomless abyss. Endless fragments of space-time transformed into raging hurricanes blowing out from within.
“The Great Tathagata Eighteen Palms seems somewhat like a Buddhist palm technique.
Regardless, the power of this technique is indeed quite impressive.”
Ye Yunfei remarked with a smile.
This was merely the Entry level of the first layer, yet it already possessed such power. Continuing to cultivate and improve it in the future would undoubtedly yield even greater might!
“Alright, starting now, I’ll focus specifically on cultivating Mental Force Energy!”
Ye Yunfei executed the Time-Space Annihilation Art and instantly returned to the secret room in Tianpeng City.
However, in his original location, a shadow of Ye Yunfei remained, gently twisting there, persisting until dozens of breaths later before finally vanishing completely.
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei took out the Heart-Refining Pearl and began cultivating Mental Force Energy.
Naturally, this also included the Boundless Heart Sutra found within the Heart-Refining Pearl!
While Ye Yunfei was diligently cultivating Mental Force Energy within the Phantom Tower, a contingent of people exuding powerful auras arrived outside the Vermilion Bird Realm.
“In the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, this world can be considered one of decent quality. If Mystic Immortals are cautious, they should likely be able to enter.
Moreover, as long as we casually send in two or three Mystic Immortals, conquering this world should be easy.”
An elder inspected the spatial barrier of the Vermilion Bird Realm and spoke.
“It’s said that the Miao Tribe within this Vermilion Bird Realm is the family of Ye Yunfei’s mother. Ye Yunfei’s parents, younger sister, and his entire Ye Family all reside within this world!
Therefore, one could say the people in this world have very close ties to Ye Yunfei!
How about this: send three Mystic Immortal experts with a contingent of Emperor-realm cultivators inside, conquer this world, capture everyone within it, bring them out, and publicly execute them in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds as a warning.
It’s time to let the people of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds witness the might of our major forces from the Main World.”
A middle-aged man standing nearby spoke up.
“Very well, proceed as you suggest.”
The elder nodded.
