"Ye Yunfei, are you about to breakthrough as well?
That's great news!
The four of us will guard for you. Just focus on your breakthrough without worry!"
Yan Xiaoquan said joyfully after hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Brother Ye, you're only in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, yet your strength is so formidable. If you break through to the Mystic Immortal Realm, you'll definitely become even more powerful!
Brother Ye, rest assured. With the four of us guarding you, we can absolutely provide you with a safe environment for your breakthrough!"
Wu Wang also spoke up.
"I'll first find a suitable place."
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power, extending his senses far out. After a moment, he spotted a vast mountain range in the distance.
He immediately utilized his movement technique, dashing towards that direction.
Yan Xiaoquan and the other three hurriedly followed.
Shortly after, Ye Yunfei entered a sprawling mountain range, found a valley, sat down cross-legged, and began to assault his cultivation bottleneck.
"Brother Ye, I'll transmit to you some of the insights and experiences I gained when I was breaking through to the Mystic Immortal Realm before. You can refer to them properly; they might be helpful,"
Zhou Ye offered.
"That's right. Breaking through from the Heavenly Emperor Realm to the Mystic Immortal Realm is a major hurdle, with many things to pay attention to. Brother Ye, I'll also transmit to you my past insights and experiences from breaking through to the Mystic Immortal Realm,"
Wu Tianyu said as well.
"Right. Let's all transmit to Brother Ye our previous insights and experiences from breaking through to the Mystic Immortal Realm. Let Brother Ye comprehend them first, so he can have more confidence during his breakthrough,"
Wu Wang nodded.
"Thank you all for your kindness.
However, I don't need it.
I want to rely on my own exploration to break through,"
Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
After saying this, Ye Yunfei stopped speaking, sitting cross-legged at the center of the valley, and began to fully focus on assaulting his realm.
"Since Ye Yunfei says he doesn't need it, just follow his wishes. Don't disturb his breakthrough.
In fact, his strength far surpasses ours. There's no need for us to worry about him.
Let's just stand guard for him from a distance,"
Yan Xiaoquan said.
"That makes sense. Alright then, we'll just guard for Brother Ye,"
Wu Wang nodded after hearing Yan Xiaoquan's words.
Then the four moved away from the valley, finding places to sit cross-legged in four different directions. They closed their eyes to rest and recuperate while simultaneously standing guard for Ye Yunfei.
*Huala la...*
In the valley, Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of Immortal Crystals, refining and absorbing them while simultaneously assaulting his cultivation bottleneck.
Approximately one day later.
*Hong long long...*
Finally, Ye Yunfei's Lightning Tribulation began. Above the valley, heavy and oppressive dark clouds gathered. Thick bolts of lightning, radiating terrifying destructive energy, coiled and writhed within the ink-black cloud layers, a shocking sight.
*Hong...*
A moment later, rolling lightning bolts began to crash down.
"Brother Ye's Lightning Tribulation has begun!"
Wu Wang perked up, being the first to stand up. Staring at the surging lightning above Ye Yunfei's head, he announced.
"Everyone, be prepared. Be ready to assist Ye Yunfei at any time.
He is our teammate. If he can successfully break through, the overall strength of our small team will increase significantly!
No matter what, we must do everything in our power to help him succeed.
If necessary, everyone should take out all the resources they have and hand them to Ye Yunfei!"
Yan Xiaoquan transmitted to the other three.
"Okay."
Wu Wang, Zhou Ye, and Wu Tianyu all nodded.
"These teammates are good."
Ye Yunfei's perception was incredibly sharp. He clearly perceived every single action of Yan Xiaoquan and the others, feeling somewhat moved.
In the next moment, a huge beast appeared beside Ye Yunfei.
The Thunder Beast from the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel!
"An Immortal-level Lightning Tribulation should be quite a good tonic for this Thunder Beast, right?"
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Ye Yunfei was now certain that the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel technique was definitely an Immortal-grade technique. Therefore, he was still cultivating it, wanting to see how powerful this technique could ultimately become!
*Roar...*
The Thunder Beast lifted its head and let out a long howl, beginning to devour the torrent of lightning bolts crashing down from the high sky.
As for Ye Yunfei, he simply stood beside the Thunder Beast, neither dodging nor evading. He didn't even put up any resistance, simply clasping his hands behind his back, allowing the lightning bolts falling from the sky to strike his body.
*Hong long long...*
The mighty torrent of lightning, like a waterfall, crashed down onto Ye Yunfei's body, creating a shower of sparks. The scene was quite terrifying.
However, Ye Yunfei was completely unharmed.
In fact, with Ye Yunfei's current physical quality and physical strength, a Lightning Tribulation of this level simply couldn't harm him.
Although Ye Yunfei had already cultivated the Thunder God's Overlord Physique technique to its perfected stage, these lightning strikes on his body could still further temper his physique, allowing the power of the Thunder God's Overlord Physique to advance another level.
"How is this possible?"
In the distance, seeing this scene, Yan Xiaoquan and the others were staring in shock, finding it hard to believe.
"Brother Ye is actually using his physical body to withstand those violent lightning tribulations, and he seems completely unharmed!
How can his body be so tough?"
Wu Wang couldn't help but exclaim.
"I am now a Mid-Level Mystic Immortal, but even with my current physical quality, I wouldn't dare to directly endure those lightning bolts!"
Zhou Ye said in astonishment.
"Ye Yunfei's physical quality is perhaps even stronger than we imagined. His expression is completely relaxed; those lightning bolts are practically like itching for him!
What a monster!"
Yan Xiaoquan watched Ye Yunfei standing calmly within the cascading lightning torrent, a bitter smile on her face.
"This is the first time I've seen someone breakthrough to the Mystic Immortal Realm so effortlessly!"
Wu Tianyu sighed with emotion.
Thus, under the astonished gazes of the four, Ye Yunfei stood with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for the Lightning Tribulation to end.
*Roar roar...*
Approximately two hours later, a strange and ominous roar faintly sounded from the distant horizon.
Then, a mass of frantically churning devilish clouds swept over, instantly arriving directly above the valley where Ye Yunfei was located.
"Huh?
What's going on?
There's devilish energy!
Did a member of the Demon Race arrive?"
All four, Yan Xiaoquan and the others, being Mystic Immortals, possessed very strong perception and immediately sensed that mass of devilish energy.
"Master, one of my clansmen has arrived!"
At this moment, a voice echoed within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
Then, a demonic being appeared in Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
A Heart-Devouring Demon!
Previously, at the headquarters of the Celestial Gold Race, when the clan's Fourth Elder was breaking through, this Heart-Devouring Demon suddenly came to cause trouble, wanting to devour the inner demons generated during the Fourth Elder's breakthrough to Heavenly Emperor.
In the end, Ye Yunfei discovered it in time and used his Mental Force to suppress this Heart-Devouring Demon.
In order to survive, this Heart-Devouring Demon had no choice but to form a Heart's Oath with Ye Yunfei, becoming Ye Yunfei's slave.
However, Ye Yunfei seldom needed to use this Heart-Devouring Demon under normal circumstances.
"Master, be careful. This clansman of mine is much stronger than me!
Use Mental Force to deal with him!"
The Heart-Devouring Demon said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
In fact, Ye Yunfei had long sensed that within the mass of devilish clouds above the valley stood a Heart-Devouring Demon, radiating bizarre and gloomy energy.
The Heart-Devouring Demon race specialized in feeding on the various negative emotions of living beings, and the energy they cultivated was exceedingly strange.
*Hong long long...*
Suddenly, the mass of devilish clouds in the high sky descended towards Ye Yunfei at an astonishing speed.
"Not good! It seems a demonic being wants to disrupt Brother Ye's breakthrough. Let's attack!"
Wu Wang shouted.
