Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang stood on no ceremony, working together to refine that Dark Faction powerhouse's Remnant Soul. Moments later, the deed was done.
Boom...
After refining the soul, torrents of energy whirled and roared across Huang Shang's jet-black, glossy Ghost Body, releasing a powerful pressure wave that distorted the surrounding space.
"I need to go into seclusion! My Ghost Body is about to break through!" Huang Shang announced excitedly.
"Go ahead, enter the Phantom Tower to cultivate in seclusion," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Ye Yunfei then led the group onward. Shortly after, they encountered and destroyed another Dark Faction powerhouse's Remnant Soul.
Through repeated teamwork, they had developed excellent coordination. As soon as they got close to these enemy Remnant Souls, everyone swarmed forward, unleashing furious attacks that achieved victory in the blink of an eye.
Boom...
Suddenly, the entire battlefield quaked violently. The space above it, in particular, trembled like a piece of cloth violently shaken, sending ripples far into the distance.
Ye Yunfei felt his body jolt harshly and rock unsteadily. Wu Wang, Zhou Ye, and Wu Tianyu were almost thrown to the ground. Yan Xiaoquan swayed unsteadily, struggling to stay on her feet. Curiously, the Light Faction War Remnant Souls remained unaffected, likely because they weren't physical entities but lingering souls.
"What happened?" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be puzzled.
"It seems... some fluctuation occurred in the space of this battlefield," Hun Lao immediately detected it and spoke up.
"To be precise, there's been an alteration in the Spatial Laws of this battlefield," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
Meanwhile, deep within the ancient battlefield in that valley, the peerlessly beautiful woman above the crystal coffin was still observing Ye Yunfei.
"A number of War Remnant Souls in this battlefield have been severed and separated from it, following that kid. At the same time, many other War Remnant Souls have been annihilated. As a result, the Spatial Laws have begun to quietly change," the woman whispered softly as she sensed the recent violent tremor.
Unbeknownst to Ye Yunfei, during this period, he had altered the Spatial Laws of the battlefield by carving out a large group of Light Faction War Remnant Souls and destroying many Dark Faction remnants. The woman saw the cause at a glance.
"I seem to sense the aura of our War Clan Bloodline on this kid. This indicates he must have encountered one of our clan members. Strange. This kid belongs to the lifeforms of this era. How could there be a War Clan member here?" Wearing a confused expression, the woman performed a great supernatural art, reaching across space to perceive Ye Yunfei in detail. Her earlier observation had indeed been triggered by sensing vestiges of the War Clan bloodline on him.
"Fine. I'll just read his memories!" she mused to herself after some thought. She raised her flawless, jade-like palm, aiming it distantly at Ye Yunfei.
Boom...
A mysterious, potent energy erupted from her crystalline palm, piercing through time and space to rapidly extend towards Ye Yunfei.
"Damn it! This brat's actions are already affecting the stability of this ancient battlefield! He must be eliminated immediately!" Meanwhile, in the distance, the black-robed figure who had been stealthily approaching gritted his teeth in fury.
Ye Yunfei remained completely unaware of the newcomer's presence. The cloaked man concealed his aura masterfully, perfectly blending with the slaughterous atmosphere pervading the surroundings.
"Who would have thought the Light Faction could nurture such an excellent junior disciple. Impressive. A pity... Since he tampered with this battlefield, I have no choice but to kill him." From the black-robed man's perspective, Ye Yunfei was solely responsible for the Light Faction War Remnant Souls' newfound mobility across the battlefield and their many eliminations of Dark Faction souls. Furthermore, the detachment of so many powerful War Remnant Souls had subtly altered the battlefield's Spatial Laws. A potent killing intent thus surged within him.
Moments later, he crept closer and closer to Ye Yunfei.
Right then, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm sensed something simultaneously, their senses converging towards the black-robed man's position. Hun Lao and the silkworm relied on advanced spatial secret techniques, while Ye Yunfei employed both spatial arts and Mind Force Energy.
"Someone is approaching us. Should be from the Dark Faction. And a living member at that!" Hun Lao was the first to speak.
"This guy seems quite powerful!" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cautioned.
Boom...
At that exact moment, a massive black palm materialized directly above Ye Yunfei and the others. It unleashed terrifying energy pressure, pouring down like a torrential downpour.
Boom...
The instant the black palm appeared, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm combined their efforts. They forcibly shifted the entire patch of space they were in, narrowly escaping the palm's crushing suppression.
"That was a Dark Faction expert! He's incredibly strong!" Hun Lao exclaimed.
"What happened?!" Yan Xiaoquan, her three companions, and the gathered Light Faction War Remnant Souls all panicked, their faces pale.
"Heh heh... You're quite bold, brat, daring to come and disrupt this battlefield. Everything here belongs to our Dark Faction. Even these Light Faction Remnant Souls belong to us. You won't be taking away a single one. And as for you five little wretches who overestimate your own abilities... you'll stay on this battlefield forever." At that moment, the black-robed man appeared, standing in the distance and coldly addressing Ye Yunfei's group.
"This guy is formidable! He's alive—a true Dark Faction expert! You five, run! We'll handle him!" Han Qianzi instantly appraised the newcomer's strength upon seeing him. Horrified, he yelled for Ye Yunfei and his companions to flee.
"You can't escape." The black-robed man smiled.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Following his words, three identical black-robed figures emerged simultaneously from the surroundings. They were clones!
Boom! Boom!
At the same time, Ye Yunfei and the others realized many Dark Faction War Remnant Souls around them suddenly ceased their mindless skirmishing, turning instead to encircle their group.
Unlike Ye Yunfei, who had to go through the trouble of spatial severance, this black-robed man could casually control the War Remnant Souls across the battlefield at will!
"This is my domain," the black-robed man sneered. "There's no escape for you."
