‘Do we stand a chance of winning in this battle?’ Ye Yunfei couldn't help but ask.
‘I don’t know. If that shadowy figure truly is the legendary Dark Ancestor, its power would be utterly terrifying. Victory or defeat is genuinely hard to predict,’ Old Man Chu shook his head as he answered.
‘Senior, what exactly is that seed of the Dark Faction?’ Ye Yunfei couldn’t resist asking again.
Ye Yunfei had heard mention of the Dark Faction’s seed many times, but he still had no idea what it actually was.
‘I too would very much like to understand that. Legends about that seed of the Dark Faction have circulated for a long time. Over the years, our Light Faction has exhausted all means to investigate news regarding that seed, to see its true nature, but we’ve never gained much concrete information. This time, our Light Faction attacked that black wall precisely to get a look at that seed. Only, breaching that wall is an extremely difficult task,’ Old Man Chu explained to Ye Yunfei.
‘So that’s it,’ Ye Yunfei suddenly realized. It seemed that even high-ranking members of the Light Faction like Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu didn’t truly understand the nature of the Dark Faction’s seed.
Just at that moment...
Boom!
Suddenly, the entire spacetime of the Three Thousand Worlds violently shuddered, as if the very fabric containing these worlds had been struck by a tremendous force.
Back at the site near the massive black wall, the shadowy figure locked in an intense battle with the Golden Armored Giant suddenly retreated, then turned and charged into the black wall, vanishing from sight.
‘Hmph! Those outsiders indeed have malicious intentions, they truly want to force their way in!’ the shadowy figure muttered to itself with apparent fury as it entered the towering black barrier.
By this time, those Earth Immortal experts of the Dark Faction had long since returned inside the black wall, disappearing as well.
The Golden Armored Giant stood before the black wall, seeming to hesitate for a moment, before finally turning and departing.
After all, this engagement was merely a probe by the Light Faction against the Dark Faction; the top-tier combatants on both sides were not yet ready for a final, decisive battle.
In the blink of an eye, the Golden Armored Giant vanished without a trace.
Ye Yunfei noticed that the golden fist representing the Ancient Covenant had also departed long ago.
The clash of high-level combat power between the Light Faction and the Dark Faction had thus concluded.
‘It seems the foundations of both the Dark Faction and the Light Faction are incredibly profound! Neither of these great forces is to be trifled with!’ Within the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Worlds, many beings who had been secretly observing the spectacle were inwardly shocked.
Whether it was the shadowy figure suspected to be the Dark Ancestor or the Light Faction’s Golden Armored Giant, both possessed earth-shattering combat power that ordinary factions and experts simply dared not provoke.
‘Hmph! So the Light Faction indeed possesses some hidden depths we weren’t previously aware of. The combat power of that Golden Armored Giant is probably unmatched even by a perfected Earth Immortal!’ Within the main world, an expert hidden deep within a mountain range watched with cold, penetrating eyes.
‘The Light Faction truly lives up to being the only force within this spacetime that dares to clash head-on with the Dark Faction,’ an old man within the headquarters of the Wheel of Rebirth Palace remarked, standing atop a palace with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance at the battle between the Golden Armored Giant and the shadowy figure.
At the same time, within special realms like the Demon Realm, the Devil Realm, and the Netherworld, many experts were also observing and discussing this high-level power struggle between the Light and Dark Factions.
Everyone understood in their hearts that although this terrifying battle had temporarily ended, it was merely the beginning. The two great factions of Dark and Light would undoubtedly engage in even more intense conflicts going forward.
‘Alright, let’s return,’ Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu stood within the Chaotic Void, gazing distantly at the massive black wall for a long time before Old Man Chu finally spoke.
Old Man Chu then took out a flying ship, which enlarged with the wind, allowing everyone to board.
‘Ye Yunfei, let’s go take a look at the base of your 35th Battalion,’ Chan Master Tianwu said with a smile.
‘Alright!’ Ye Yunfei nodded.
Not long after, Old Man Chu’s flying ship arrived in front of the Small Celestial Realm.
Last time, after the Dark Faction forces had breached the Small Celestial Realm, significant damage was caused. Currently, the 35th Battalion’s base here was undergoing reconstruction, with more than half of its personnel assigned to the task.
Ye Yunfei led Old Man Chu, Chan Master Tianwu, and several dozen Light Faction experts as they toured this world.
Every member of the 35th Battalion who saw Ye Yunfei would immediately halt their work and bow with deep respect towards him and the group. The gazes these members directed at Ye Yunfei were filled with admiration.
Some time ago, Ye Yunfei had led the 35th Battalion to destroy over a dozen Dark Faction nests in succession, causing the battalion’s members to trust and accept their new young commander wholeheartedly and completely!
The five Earth Immortal Elders of the 35th Battalion faithfully followed behind Ye Yunfei, clearly defining the order of precedence.
‘Hmm, very good. Ye Yunfei, you haven’t been with the 35th Battalion for long, yet to achieve such results is truly commendable,’ Old Man Chu observed the situation and couldn’t help but nod in praise.
‘With Commander Ye leading us, our 35th Battalion is sure to accomplish even more glorious achievements!’ Elder Zhuo answered.
‘The war between our Light Faction and the Dark Faction will grow increasingly fierce. Your 35th Battalion must be prepared,’ Chan Master Tianwu said.
‘Senior, rest assured, our 35th Battalion is ready for battle at any time,’ Ye Yunfei replied.
‘Good, very good. That puts me at ease,’ Old Man Chu nodded.
‘By the way, Seniors, is there any news of that injured Earth Immortal senior of our Light Faction? All my people are with that senior. I must find him to locate them,’ Ye Yunfei suddenly asked.
Although he had been busy with 35th Battalion affairs recently, he had not forgotten this matter, as a group of people closely connected to him remained missing.
‘There is some preliminary news,’ Old Man Chu answered.
‘There’s news? Where is that Earth Immortal senior?’ Ye Yunfei was overjoyed and quickly pressed for details.
‘That Earth Immortal is named Di Ming. Back then, Di Ming was pursued and severely injured by several Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts. He fled desperately, and it’s said he may have already entered the Colorless Abyss,’ Old Man Chu said quietly.
‘What? That senior has entered the Colorless Abyss?’ Ye Yunfei exclaimed in shock.
‘It’s highly possible. The people I sent to search for Di Ming detected his aura near the entrance to the Colorless Abyss. Therefore, it’s very likely Di Ming, in his panicked flight with nowhere else to turn, fled into the Colorless Abyss,’ Old Man Chu nodded in confirmation.
