"Senior, when dealing with those Earth Immortals, please try not to destroy their Bloodline Essence. Leave it for me!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly thought of this and transmitted the message to Lu Yuanzu.
Boom...
His Blood Clan Clone appeared, rushing toward the spots where those few Earth Immortals had just fallen to collect the Bloodline Essence they had left behind.
"Oh?
A clone refined from a Blood Clan member, and it already possesses strength at the Earth Immortal level. Impressive!"
Lu Yuanzu glanced at the Blood Clan Clone, looking somewhat surprised.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei maneuvered, charging toward a Initial Earth Immortal. On the way, he casually slew over a dozen True Immortals.
He unleashed the Space-Time Annihilation Method, reaching the back of that Initial Earth Immortal almost instantly. Then, he used the Formless Heart Sword and Soul Sword attacks, directly invading the opponent's soul sea.
"You're courting death, brat!"
The Initial Earth Immortal had exceptionally keen perception and immediately realized Ye Yunfei had caught up. Startled and furious, he gripped a golden long blade and swung it backward at Ye Yunfei.
Clang, clang...
In an instant, thousands upon thousands of golden blade shadows surged toward Ye Yunfei like a golden, raging ocean.
Rumble...
While swinging his blade, this Initial Earth Immortal also unleashed his energy aura, attempting to suppress Ye Yunfei and overwhelm him with superior cultivation.
However, this place was within the confines of the forbidden land, where abundant Earth Qi Energy swarmed around Ye Yunfei's body. He had no fear of the opponent's energy pressure.
Within this forbidden zone, Ye Yunfei received constant boosts from Earth Qi Energy, enabling him to face Earth Immortal experts head-on.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei summoned dozens of Earth Immortal magical treasures, activating them all simultaneously.
It was the technique of the Weapon Control Art!
In this spacetime, the Weapon Control Art was absolutely a high-level secret art for manipulating treasures!
These were all Initial Earth Immortal level treasures. When activated together, the energy aura they unleashed was terrifying, sweeping forward en masse.
Although Ye Yunfei was only at the True Immortal level, the immortal power within his body was exceptionally abundant, even exceeding that of a Completion True Immortal. He could already refine and use Initial Earth Immortal-level artifacts.
Earlier, within the small mountain village of the Ancient Covenant, Master Liu had gifted Ye Yunfei dozens of Earth Immortal artifacts. Recently, during his cooperation with Su Qingluo, they had also killed many Earth Immortal experts, whose artifacts naturally fell into Ye Yunfei's hands. Thus, Ye Yunfei now possessed quite a few Earth Immortal treasures.
The combined energy pressure released by several dozen Earth Immortal treasures forced the Initial Earth Immortal to change expression. He swung his long blade with all his might, parrying one treasure after another.
Just then, Hu Miao directly utilized her Illusion Art. A series of illusion runes surrounded the Initial Earth Immortal, instantly plunging him into one illusionary realm after another.
"Damn it!"
The Initial Earth Immortal knew something was wrong, his face drastically shifting.
"Die!"
Ye Yunfei struck directly with his fist. The physical strength within his body surged forth, concentrating onto his fist. One fist after another shot out like cannonballs, pummeling the Initial Earth Immortal's body.
In merely the span of a single breath, Ye Yunfei unleashed over a thousand strikes.
Immense amounts of physical force were injected into the Initial Earth Immortal's body.
Although the Initial Earth Immortal's body had been hammered and tempered through endless battles, making it exceptionally sturdy, it could no longer withstand Ye Yunfei's tremendous power. Finally, with a loud bang, it exploded.
Whoosh...
By this time, the Blood Clan Clone had already arrived nearby. Immediately employing its Blood Manipulation Art, it swiftly devoured every last drop of the Initial Earth Immortal's Bloodline Essence.
Then, Huang Shang appeared, utilizing ghost cultivation techniques. A sky-covering mass of vengeful ghosts, wraiths, and a billowing ghostly miasma directly engulfed the Initial Earth Immortal's Soul Body.
Ye Yunfei also unleashed Formless Heart Sword and Soul Sword attacks against the Initial Earth Immortal's Soul Body.
Hu Miao also used Illusion Art, coordinating with Ye Yunfei against the Initial Earth Immortal.
"Aaargh...
To think that I, a respectable Earth Immortal expert, would meet my end at the hands of a junior! How... how hateful!"
In less than two breaths, the Initial Earth Immortal's Soul Body was shattered. Before dying, it emitted a wretched, despairing scream.
From beginning to end, the time it took Ye Yunfei to slay this Initial Earth Immortal amounted to only three or four breaths in total.
"Haha...
Not bad!"
Meanwhile, Lu Yuanzu had also slain two more Earth Immortals and a large batch of True Immortals. Witnessing Ye Yunfei's combat prowess, he couldn't help but voice loud praise.
However, by this point, most of the Qiantang Empire's experts and troops had nearly escaped the region where the imperial city was located.
They had left the bounds of the forbidden land Lu Yuanzu had established.
Today's battle had inflicted exceptionally heavy casualties on the Qiantang Empire!
More than half of its Earth Immortal experts were killed!
More than half of its True Immortals were slain!
The Qiantang Empire's grand army was almost entirely annihilated!
"Alright, young man, stop pursuing them.
If we leave this forbidden zone, we might not be a match for those Earth Immortals. They still have several Advanced Earth Immortals among them."
Lu Yuanzu stopped and spoke to Ye Yunfei.
"I never realized the Qiantang Empire's foundations were so profound, possessing this many Earth Immortal experts."
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
"The Qiantang Empire has endured for an extremely long time, and it benefits from the Fortune blessing of the Supreme Son of Heaven formation. It's hardly surprising that it produces some Earth Immortals. An ancient organization that has lasted this long would be strange if it didn't possess some deep reserves."
Lu Yuanzu commented.
"That's true.
It seems all these major powers within the Main World harbor some unknown depths."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
He recalled the great war back in the Reincarnation Realm. When the Reincarnation Palace seemed to be at a disadvantage, a large group of its Ancestors, recalled back from wherever they were, suddenly emerged, unleashing terrifying combat power.
In the past, the common assumption had been that these major powers in the Main World possessed, at most, a few Earth Immortal experts. The reality, however, was far beyond that.
Ye Yunfei now understood that every single one of these major forces in the Main World possessed, at the very least, a dozen or more Earth Immortal experts!
This was also the reason these organizations could be passed down through such prolonged eras.
"However, young man, you must be careful. Those scoundrels who escaped from the Qiantang Empire will definitely seek retribution from you later. They wouldn't dare come here for me, but they won't hesitate to come after you."
Lu Yuanzu cautioned.
"Senior, rest assured. I already anticipated this. I am not afraid of the Qiantang Empire.
Furthermore, since the Qiantang Empire dared to touch my people, we were already mortal enemies. Even if they don't seek me out, I'll go looking for them later."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Ye Yunfei's primary purpose in coming to the Qiantang Empire this time was to rescue people.
Before encountering Lu Yuanzu, Ye Yunfei had already rescued a group of his own people from the hands of six Completion True Immortals. He hadn't expected to rescue another batch later from the imperial prison.
Back when the Nation-Pacifying Grand General was about to go to the prison to extract Ye Yunfei's people, Ye Yunfei sensed the general's actions through his formidable Soul Power. Feeling suspicious, he immediately returned to the surface, only to discover that another batch of his people were imprisoned in the imperial dungeons.
"Haha...
Excellent, young man. Your character suits my temperament well!
Alright then, I shall pass my Earth Divination Art to you. After cultivating it, your combat power will increase substantially. When that time comes, even if you encounter those Earth Immortals again, you need not fear them."
After hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Lu Yuanzu laughed heartily.
