"We can try that method!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei's eyes lit up.
Boom rumble rumble...
Hun Lao immediately utilized the secret spatial-cutting technique of the Chaos World Tree clan, beginning to slice the space where Ye Yunfei and this Light Faction powerhouse were standing.
"What are you doing?"
This Light Faction powerhouse's perception was somewhat frightening, immediately detecting that vast amounts of spatial energy were altering the structure of this patch of space.
Fortunately, this powerhouse knew Ye Yunfei was a member of the Light Faction and did not immediately attack. Moreover, Hun Lao's speed was incredibly fast; he almost instantaneously completed the cutting of this small piece of space, separating it from the space of the surrounding battlefield.
When Hun Lao succeeded in severing this small piece of space, the Light Faction powerhouse immediately reacted. His gaze grew vacant, and he stood there, rubbing his head as if straining to recall something.
"Look! That powerhouse doesn't seem hostile toward Brother Ye anymore!"
From a distance, Wu Wang saw this scene and cried out in pleasant surprise.
"Hmm, yes. This guy has some tricks up his sleeve," Yan Xiaoquan nodded.
A moment later.
The Light Faction powerhouse slowly raised his head to look at Ye Yunfei.
"Young man, you're right. I am indeed a War Remnant Soul now, already bewitched by this battlefield. This endless fighting, caught in an unbreakable loop, truly holds little meaning."
The powerhouse let out a sigh and spoke softly.
"Hun Lao, your method indeed worked!" Ye Yunfei exclaimed in pleasant surprise.
"Senior, you have been assimilated by this battlefield, becoming part of its law, no longer in control of yourself," Ye Yunfei said.
"Yes. My remnant soul has indeed become part of the battlefield's law. Young man, despite your youth, your insight and experience are remarkable to perceive my state. I never imagined our Light Faction had such an outstanding junior.
Tell me about the current state of the Light Faction and the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds."
The powerhouse looked at Ye Yunfei with an appreciative gaze as he spoke.
Immediately, Ye Yunfei gave the most concise description of the current situation of the Light Faction and the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"So, after the last World-Destroying War ended, the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds went through a period of dormancy, where Immortals remained hidden and Heavenly Emperors reigned supreme.
Now, the Dark Faction has re-emerged, openly active within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. This situation is almost identical to the period before the last World-Destroying War. This indicates the Dark Faction is indeed preparing to launch a new World-Destroying War," the powerhouse said after hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Senior, according to the words of our Light Faction seniors, this World-Destroying War might be the final one. The Dark Faction intends to completely destroy the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
That's why our Light Faction seniors sent us out to seek those masters who went missing during the last World-Destroying War," Ye Yunfei explained.
"Light Faction seniors? Which ones do you know? Let me see," the powerhouse suddenly grew interested and asked Ye Yunfei.
"I know these two seniors."
Without hesitation, Ye Yunfei waved a hand, directly simulating the figures of the old man and the fat monk.
"So, it's Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu! I never imagined they were both still alive!"
The moment the powerhouse saw the old man and fat monk, he cried out in pleasant surprise.
"Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu..." Ye Yunfei thought inwardly, finally learning the names of that old man and fat monk.
"Young man, being able to interact with Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu means they think highly of you. Excellent. Keep training diligently. You are sure to become a formidable powerhouse capable of holding your own for our Light Faction. Because any youngster they have taken a liking to has never been mediocre," the powerhouse said with a smile.
"Senior, our main purpose for coming to this battlefield is to investigate how many of our Light Faction's masters died here back then, and how many may have survived," Ye Yunfei stated his purpose for coming here directly.
"You mean to say that after the last World-Destroying War, many of our Light Faction masters perished in battle or went missing? So, they sent you juniors out to search?" The powerhouse understood immediately.
"Yes," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"From what I know, most of our Light Faction masters who participated in combat on this battlefield back then have already fallen. I witnessed my comrades-in-arms depleting their last shreds of strength one by one, then collapsing dead beside me.
I also saw over ten Earth Immortal masters of our Light Faction die in battle on this very field.
As for how many of our Light Faction masters survived this battle... I truly do not know," the powerhouse, after thinking upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, then spoke.
"What a pity. I have been too deeply influenced by this battlefield, becoming part of its law, fused with it. Thus, within this battlefield, I find it hard to remain clear-headed most of the time, only unconsciously participating in endless slaughter over and over.
Otherwise, I could have taken you around this battlefield to look around. Perhaps we could have discovered which of our Light Faction masters were still alive." The powerhouse sighed softly.
Ye Yunfei nodded.
In fact, Ye Yunfei had encountered many War Remnant Souls. Some were not fused with the battlefield and could maintain clarity, but most, after experiencing the long passage of time, would fuse completely with the battlefield, becoming part of its law, unable to retain conscious awareness.
It could be said that in every ancient battlefield, War Remnant Souls not assimilated by the battlefield constituted only a small minority, sometimes difficult to encounter.
"Perhaps we can try to work together, jointly sustaining this severed small piece of space, and move it around within this battlefield."
Just at that moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly spoke up.
"That can indeed be tried. It's just that would consume vast amounts of spatial energy," Hun Lao, upon hearing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's words, also nodded.
"No need to worry. I still have a batch of Spatial Immortal Crystals! Then let's try it right now." Hearing Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Ye Yunfei could not help but be overjoyed.
"Senior, I will now try using spatial energy to carry your remnant soul around the battlefield," Ye Yunfei said to the powerhouse.
"Is that possible?" The powerhouse was stunned.
"It should be," Ye Yunfei had confidence in Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and nodded in reply.
"Hahaha, excellent! Young man, it seems your cultivation in the area of spatial energy is truly impressive," the powerhouse laughed heartily.
"Senior, let me call over my other teammates," Ye Yunfei said.
Immediately, Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission to Yan Xiaoquan, briefly explaining the situation.
"Ye Yunfei, you can move this senior's remnant soul around this battlefield?" Yan Xiaoquan found it somewhat hard to believe. She could naturally see that this Light Faction powerhouse before her was already fused with this battlefield.
However, under Ye Yunfei's urging, Yan Xiaoquan still brought Wu Wang and the others over, respectfully saluting the powerhouse.
"Hmm, all at the Profound Immortal level. Not bad. This indicates our Light Faction has successors to carry on our legacy," the powerhouse, looking at Yan Xiaoquan and the others, felt somewhat gratified. He nodded and spoke.
"Senior, we're beginning now," Ye Yunfei said to the powerhouse.
Boom rumble rumble...
Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm simultaneously released their spatial energy. Ye Yunfei also took out a batch of Spatial Immortal Crystals and handed them to Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
Under the combined efforts of Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the small piece of space Ye Yunfei and the others stood on began to move. This small piece of space had been severed by Hun Lao earlier, separating it from the surrounding space, moving like a bubble through air.
"Excellent technique!" the powerhouse could not help but exclaim in praise.
"Brother Ye is truly amazing!" Wu Wang also exclaimed loudly.
Boom...
As this piece of space continuously moved, everyone saw numerous War Remnant Souls battling fiercely all across this battlefield, fighting so fiercely the heavens darkened and the earth dimmed.
"Brother Ling!" the powerhouse suddenly cried out agitatedly, his gaze fixed in the distance.
Ye Yunfei and the others also immediately looked over.
They saw, in the distance, a tall, slender man holding a silver spear engaged in combat with a group of Dark Faction beings.
This man was a Perfected True Immortal! His combat prowess was terrifying. With every move he struck, it caused the heavens to shatter and the earth to crack. That silver spear transformed into a silver dragon, tearing batch after batch of Dark Faction beings to dust wherever it went.
However, the number of Dark Faction beings besieging this man was too high. In the end, dozens of True Immortal experts from the Dark Faction surged over from all directions, launching a frenzied assault.
The man, without the slightest fear, grasped the silver spear with both hands and actually slayed all dozen or so Dark Faction True Immortals.
Alas, he was also gravely injured and ultimately died together with the strongest few Dark Faction True Immortal experts.
Ye Yunfei and the others watched, hearts racing with tension.
"The World-Destroying War is truly horrifying. Even experts at the True Immortal level are insignificant on the battlefield," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"I finally understand why, after the last World-Destroying War, Immortals remained hidden in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and even Heavenly Emperors almost vanished! It turns out most of them perished in the war!" Zhou Ye couldn't help but exclaim.
"What we call Heavenly Emperors are but mere bit parts, bottom feeders in the World-Destroying War. Even we Profound Immortals are merely small fry," Wu Tianyu also spoke up with a sigh.
"Brother Ling's name was Ling Zi'an. Back in the day, he was one of our Light Faction's masters. Now it can be confirmed he died in battle," the powerhouse said to Ye Yunfei with a tinge of sorrow.
"Ling Zi'an perished in battle." Yan Xiaoquan, hearing the powerhouse's words from the side, immediately took out a jade slip to record this.
Because this operation aimed not only to find those still-alive Light Faction masters, but also to tally those masters who had fallen on ancient battlefields.
Next, under the control of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao, this small piece of space continuously moved across this vast ancient battlefield, witnessing scene after scene of shocking, intensely cruel combat.
"The World-Destroying War indeed remains the most intense, most brutal conflict within our slice of space and time. Absolutely no other war can compare," the powerhouse nodded.
"Over there, another Perfected True Immortal!" Yan Xiaoquan suddenly exclaimed.
Not far away stood a tall, lean middle-aged man who invoked a magical seal that hovered above his head, emitting dazzling rays of immortal light. Engraved upon the seal was an ancient, simple moon pattern, releasing fearsome pressure.
"That's Ancient Moon Sovereign! Ancient Moon Sovereign was the monarch of a medium-sized empire in ancient times. Before this war, I had met him a few times, so we were somewhat acquainted," the powerhouse immediately recognized the identity of the Perfected True Immortal Yan Xiaoquan referred to.
Next, they witnessed the battles of many Light Faction masters. These Light Faction masters generally displayed the characteristic of pressing forward courageously in combat, never retreating.
"Senior, over there, an Earth Immortal master is fighting! It's an Earth Immortal master of our Light Faction!" Ye Yunfei suddenly pointed into the distance and called out softly.
Boom rumble rumble...
In the direction Ye Yunfei pointed, they saw a tall, elderly Daoist priest dressed in Daoist robes, holding a horsetail whisk, battling a group of Dark Faction masters alone.
The combat prowess displayed by this elder Daoist was terrifying. His casual sweeps of the whisk in his hands could shatter entire patches of space, causing massive spatial fissures to appear around him—a terrifying sight.
"That's Daoist Wufa! He actually came to this battlefield back then too!" the powerhouse exclaimed in shock.
"Daoist Wufa was one of our Light Faction's renowned powerhouses back then, possessing the strength of a Perfected Earth Immortal. During that war, he simultaneously supported multiple battlefields, incredibly busy.
I never knew back then that he had come to this battlefield too! Yet with Daoist Wufa's formidable strength, how could he also have left a remnant soul here, becoming a War Remnant Soul of this battlefield?
Could it be... Daoist Wufa met with misfortune on this battlefield? That seems impossible!" the powerhouse stared at the elder Daoist priest in the distance, his expression one of disbelief.
"Senior, I believe this remnant soul was likely not left behind by Daoist Wufa's main body, but rather by his avatar after being shattered. It's a remnant soul of an avatar," Ye Yunfei, after hearing the powerhouse's words, immediately released Soul Power to carefully sense the elder Daoist. He also released his Mental Force energy to sense the elder once more, then spoke.
Mental Force energy could also be used for perception, and its ability in this regard was stronger than Soul Power!
"A remnant soul left after Daoist Wufa's avatar was shattered? Hmm, that's plausible!" Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the powerhouse couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, perhaps Daoist Wufa's true body is still alive," the powerhouse added.
They say, a speaker might be casual, but a listener attentive.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoquan and the others all perked up.
The main objective of this operation was precisely to search for Light Faction masters who survived the last World-Destroying War. If Daoist Wufa was still alive, wouldn't that make him a target for their mission?
