"Indeed, it is I!
So now, you can die!"
Ge Ming's gaze was sharp and his tone domineering. The war spear in his hand continuously enlarged, and soaring runes flew off its shaft, suppressing this piece of void to an incredibly heavy state. The Earth Immortals of the Dark Faction standing on the black altar each felt as if a heavy divine mountain were crushing their backs, their expressions drastically changing.
That golden spear resembled a hanging river of stars, roaring as it crashed towards the black altar.
"So what if you're Ge Ming? Do you think I fear you?!"
The Perfected Earth Immortal of the Dark Faction who had spoken earlier raged in shame and humiliation. He retrieved a strangely-shaped black sickle and slashed forward with a single cut.
Clang!
The attacks from both sides collided. Infinite battle energy erupted and surged outwards, directly blasting a huge piece of the void into smithereens at the center of the collision.
The Dark Faction Earth Immortals on the black altar felt their bodies go limp one by one, retreating continuously.
The Perfected Earth Immortal who had attacked bore the brunt and was also shaken back step by step, inwardly exclaiming that the Eighteen War Generals' reputation was truly well-deserved.
"Today, I'll behead a Perfected Earth Immortal to establish our Light Faction's prestige!"
Ge Ming was extremely aggressive, stepping forward and sweeping his spear sideways, attacking again to kill that Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortal.
The terrifying combat had forced the black altar back, rendering it unable to teleport again!
"Attack together! Kill this guy!"
The two Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals exchanged a glance and spoke simultaneously.
Roar...
The Perfected Earth Immortal who hadn't attacked yet suddenly let out a furious roar. Rolling black energy mist spewed forth from his tall, dark form, spreading out like a massive black cloud, filled with monstrous, killing intent.
Whoosh!
The torrent of black energy mist suddenly transformed into two black wings, like two black heavenly sabers, extending far outwards and splitting the void.
Boom...
War General Ge Ming fought the two Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals alone. Not only did he not retreat, he pressed forward step by step, awe-inspiring and magnificent, astonishing onlookers.
"War General Ge Ming, one of our Light Faction's Eighteen War Generals?"
In the distant void, Ye Yunfei had already stopped there, looking back at this fearsome battle, feeling both shock and joy.
"Ye Yunfei, don't be afraid. We've come to support you!"
At that moment, over a dozen Earth Immortal experts suddenly appeared within this chaotic void. One of them, an elderly man in green robes with Daoist elegance and immortal grace, and three long strands of beard hanging before his chest, turned to Ye Yunfei and spoke.
Ye Yunfei immediately understood that all of these were Earth Immortal experts of the Light Faction!
Kill!
The dozen-plus Light Faction Earth Immortal experts charged forward together, instantly arriving before the black altar and clashing with the Dark Faction Earth Immortals on it.
Seeing so many Light Faction Earth Immortals coming to his aid, Ye Yunfei was extremely moved.
Although the Dark Faction was powerful, the Light Faction wasn't to be bullied either!
And to mobilize so many Earth Immortal experts for the sake of a junior made Ye Yunfei deeply grateful!
"Ye Yunfei, hurry and leave. Don't worry, those fellows won't be chasing you any longer."
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Senior Chu, it's you!"
Ye Yunfei cried out in joy.
That voice belonged to Old Man Chu.
In an instant, Ye Yunfei understood that those Light Faction Earth Immortals who suddenly appeared to aid him must have been dispatched by Old Man Chu.
Since Old Man Chu could mobilize so many Light Faction Earth Immortal experts, Ye Yunfei realized that Old Man Chu's status within the Light Faction must be very high!
"Alright, I'll leave right away!"
Without hesitation, Ye Yunfei directly activated his Space Teleportation Token and teleported away.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei was far from that chaotic void.
Boom... Boom...
At this time, the battle in the distance continued. Terrifying battle energy constantly spread out, rolling through the chaotic void. Living beings in many worlds could clearly sense the energy fluctuations of this great battle.
"Excellent. You've performed well recently, giving our Light Faction a breath of fresh air. Moreover, you've tied up a group of Dark Faction experts."
Ye Yunfei had just stopped moving when Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu appeared, arriving before Ye Yunfei in a few steps. Old Man Chu spoke with a smile.
"Haha...
Speaking of which, Old Man Chu was the one with foresight, assigning you as the leader of the Thirty-Fifth Battalion. Recently, you led the battalion to wipe out over a dozen Dark Faction lairs in one go, achieving glorious battle achievements!
In short, your Thirty-Fifth Battalion has been stealing the limelight recently!"
Chan Master Tianwu laughed heartily as he looked Ye Yunfei over.
"It's all thanks to the cultivation from both of you seniors!"
Ye Yunfei replied.
"However, the fact that the Dark Faction has now sent Perfected Earth Immortals to deal with you indicates that they have already marked you as a target to be killed at all costs.
For now, you should keep a low profile and focus on cultivation.
Although the World-Destroying War has begun, it has not yet entered its decisive stage.
Ye Yunfei, try to improve your strength further, so you can achieve even greater merit in the upcoming warfare!"
Chan Master Tianwu said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright, I understand."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Right at that moment.
"Humph!
Ge Ming, you just returned and already killed one of our Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals? This is going too far!
I'm here to kill you!
I'll behead you and use your head to consecrate our Dark Faction's battle flag!"
Just then, a chillingly sinister snort echoed out, rolling through the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately after, terrifying energy fluctuations erupted from that direction, shaking the endless chaotic void.
"It seems a Dark Faction powerhouse has appeared. Let's go have a look."
Old Man Chu's expression turned grave.
"Ye Yunfei, come, let's go take a look together!"
Chan Master Tianwu flicked his sleeve, lifting Ye Yunfei, then took a step forward, moving towards that direction at an astonishing speed.
Old Man Chu also strode forward alongside Chan Master Tianwu.
"So fast!"
Ye Yunfei inwardly exclaimed in awe.
In just a few breaths, Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu brought Ye Yunfei back to the chaotic void where the previous battle had taken place.
Ye Yunfei saw War General Ge Ming brandishing his golden spear, locked in a fierce battle with a Dark Faction expert completely wrapped in black robes.
"One of the two Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals from earlier was already killed by War General Ge Ming, the other is severely injured and has fled!"
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power to perceive his surroundings and roughly understood what had just happened in this chaotic void.
This was a method of reversing time to observe the past. With his current strength, Ye Yunfei could glimpse the immediate past.
"He's one of the leaders of the Dark Faction's Resource Collectors. In the previous World-Destroying War, I sensed his aura before!"
Chan Master Tianwu suddenly exclaimed in astonishment.
"Within the Dark Faction, there is a special organization that travels across the various worlds of this stretch of spacetime, collecting the essence of bloodlines and Soul Bodies left behind after living beings perish. This organization concentrates many high-level Dark Faction members and is known as the Resource Collectors."
Old Man Chu quietly explained to Ye Yunfei.
"I've encountered Dark Faction Resource Collectors a few times before."
Ye Yunfei replied.
"The mission of the Resource Collectors is to gather the essence of bloodlines and Soul Bodies. They rarely personally participate in combat. However, one must never underestimate the Resource Collectors, for they are actually among the strongest group within the Dark Faction.
When the World-Destroying War enters its later stages, those Resource Collectors will begin to personally take action and join the fighting."
Old Man Chu said.
"Senior Chu, I will remember."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
That Old Man Chu would take them so seriously indicated that those Resource Collectors were indeed extremely formidable.
At this time, War General Ge Ming was still locked in fierce combat with that Resource Collector leader. The combat prowess of both sides was terrifying, constantly annihilating one stretch of void after another in a horrifying spectacle.
Thump... Thump...
Just then, enormous booming sounds echoed through the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
It sounded like someone was beating a drum, yet also like the heartbeats of some ferocious beast—powerful and rhythmic.
Each sound echoed throughout the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Within almost every world, nearly all living beings clearly heard these unexplained, massive sounds.
"That sound...
Could it be that the legendary Seed is finally stirring?
No wonder the Dark Faction launched this final World-Destroying War!"
Both Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu's faces changed drastically. Old Man Chu murmured to himself.
