Boom! Boom!
A black great seal and a black longsword were conjured simultaneously. Both magical artifacts unleashed endless waves of energy pressure, as if intent on annihilating this entire stretch of space.
Roar...
The other three Perfected Earth Immortals executed the same technique. Three pitch-black deities materialized above their heads — one wielding a black scythe, another gripping a black longsword, and the last brandishing a black three-pronged trident. Their killing intent was palpable as they launched a ferocious assault from above, pouncing upon Ye Yunfei.
"Come then!" Ye Yunfei bellowed.
Clang! Clang...
Ye Yunfei directly summoned over a dozen magical artifacts, all at the Perfected Earth Immortal level, which shot forth like a dozen blazing stars to intercept the two black artifacts.
He then soared into the air and charged towards the three black deities. Punching out, five sacred mountains manifested simultaneously upon his fist, rumbling forth with an oppressive force.
This was a body-tempering fist technique Ye Yunfei had obtained from Great Strength Demon God. With his current physical power, its unleashed might was truly terrifying.
The five sacred mountains rumbled forward, directly forcing the three black deities into a continuous retreat.
Clang! Dang! A few deafening booms echoed as the dozen or so artifacts Ye Yunfei had summoned were knocked aside, scattering chaotically.
Unimpeded, the black great seal and the black longsword continued to slash towards Ye Yunfei with astonishing force.
"Again!"
With a furious roar, Ye Yunfei threw out over a hundred magical artifacts, activating them all at once to counter the two black ones. Even the dozen artifacts that had just been flung away were forcibly recalled by his will and sent hurtling forward once more.
The sheer volume of artifacts unleashed by a single individual caused the space ahead to fracture repeatedly, shaking the entire Small World.
To Ye Yunfei's shock, however, his fleet of over a hundred artifacts was slowly being pushed back, falling into a disadvantage against the two black artifacts.
"These two artifacts are too powerful!" Ye Yunfei inwardly remarked.
Nevertheless, his physical constitution and sheer strength were extraordinary. While wary of the black artifacts, he was confident he could withstand direct clashes without suffering serious injury.
"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei simultaneously employed fist techniques and sword arts, charging forward to engage the five Perfected Earth Immortals in a fierce melee, fighting them to a virtual standstill.
When the battle reached its fiercest point, Ye Yunfei utilized the three martial skills he had obtained from Elder Lu — Heaven Severing Kick, Earth Rendering Palm, and World Annihilation Finger. Unleashing their formidable power, he threw his five opponents into disarray, scrambling to defend themselves.
Seeing Ye Yunfei's sheer ferocity, the five Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals paled.
All five were Perfected Earth Immortals. Combined, and aided by two artifacts bestowed by the Dark Ancestor, they could only manage a stalemate with Ye Yunfei. In a one-on-one duel, any of them would have been slaughtered long ago.
Realizing that Ye Yunfei's combat prowess likely now surpassed their own, a sense of bitter unwillingness washed over them. Yet the facts were undeniable; the power Ye Yunfei displayed was tangible and impossible to ignore.
"If we don't kill this brat now, it will only get harder in the future!" one of the Perfected Earth Immortals roared.
Boom...
The five Perfected Earth Immortals pooled their power to simulate the form of a colossal black monster. Its immense body was shrouded in thick black mist, obscuring its true visage. A chilling, oppressive energy aura emanated from it, threatening to suffocate anyone nearby.
The Dark Faction were not native inhabitants of these void realms. They had been brought here by the Dark Ancestor from another spacetime and possessed profoundly ancient and mysterious legacies.
Boom! Boom...
Releasing vast, torrential streams of dark energy, the five Perfected Earth Immortals poured a continuous flow into the monster's form, making it even more dreadful.
Roar...!
The gigantic black monster charged at Ye Yunfei, its form immense, its energy aura suffocating. A massive claw, resembling a small mountain, lashed out, shattering space as it swiped towards him.
Spatial Cage!
Ye Yunfei immediately invoked this spatial secret art. An invisible cage descended from above, attempting to restrain the black monster.
Ever since fusing with a drop of Ten Thousand Methods Vine bloodline essence, and possessing the Ten Thousand Methods Seed within him, Ye Yunfei's comprehension of spatial laws had been steadily deepening.
The Spatial Cage he now executed was far more potent than before.
Yet the black monster was simply too formidable. It ignored the cage entirely, shattering it with ease as it continued its charge.
Heaven Severing Kick!
Earth Rendering Palm!
World Annihilation Finger!
Ye Yunfei unleashed the three martial skills in rapid succession. A colossal foot, a giant palm, and an enormous finger manifested almost simultaneously, striking from different angles at the monster shrouded in dense black mist.
Boom...!
The attacks from both sides collided, unleashing endless shockwaves of battle energy that rippled outward, threatening to overturn this entire region of space.
Boom! Boom!
Seizing the opportunity, the black great seal and the black longsword shot towards Ye Yunfei once more.
Ye Yunfei summoned another hundred-plus artifacts to intercept them.
The collision between so many magical items and the two black artifacts triggered a series of violent energy explosions.
Pop! Pop! Pop...
Forty or fifty of Ye Yunfei's artifacts were simultaneously blasted apart, a testament to the terrifying power of the two black weapons.
A quick scan of the battlefield revealed that his side was gaining the upper hand. The Dark Faction army was being thrown into chaos, suffering heavy casualties.
What delighted Ye Yunfei most were the three Gu Wasp clones controlled by Huang Shang. Their lethality was staggering; ordinary Dark Faction Earth Immortals stood no chance.
The three Gu Wasps darted and weaved through the battlefield, slaying many Dark Faction Earth Immortals.
Meanwhile, the countless poisonous creatures and venomous insects commanded by Huang Shang and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm inflicted devastating losses upon the ordinary ranks of the Dark Faction army.
The forces of the ten Light Faction battalions were now filled with soaring morale and burning fighting spirit, each soldier charging forward eagerly.
In stark contrast, the Dark Faction army's morale had plummeted. The constant deaths of their Earth Immortal experts deeply shook the common soldiers, who only wished to flee and had lost all will to fight.
Seeing this, Ye Yunfei relaxed slightly and fought even more fiercely against the five Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals.
"You two should have joined in long ago! Killing this Ye Yunfei brat is the top priority!"
At that moment, two black-robed figures surged into this Small World, charging straight at Ye Yunfei. One of the Perfected Earth Immortals locked in combat with Ye Yunfei voiced his displeasure.
These two newcomers were also Perfected Earth Immortal experts of the Dark Faction. They had been fighting the Reincarnation Palace Grand Elder and Su Qingluo outside. Now, responding to a sound transmission, they had entered to join forces against Ye Yunfei.
For these seven Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals, dealing with Ye Yunfei was paramount. The Dark Ancestor himself had commanded them to capture Ye Yunfei — alive if possible, but bring back his corpse if necessary.
"We're going all out!"
The seven Perfected Earth Immortals suddenly roared in unison. Flames began to erupt from their bodies — they were burning their origin essence blood!
All seven combusted their origin essence simultaneously, channeling their energy into the black monster. Its aura grew even more oppressive as it rumbled towards Ye Yunfei like a primordial beast from the ancient desolate epochs.
"Ye Yunfei, I'm coming to help you!"
Su Qingluo also charged into the Small World at this moment, moving with agile footwork as she sped towards Ye Yunfei's location.
The Grand Elder followed closely behind her.
"Palace Master, perhaps we should withdraw. This is a war between the Light Faction and the Dark Faction. It's best we keep our distance," the Grand Elder continuously urged via sound transmission.
"Grand Elder, didn't you hear these Dark Faction experts earlier? They declared war on our Reincarnation Palace. Even if we don't move against them now, the Dark Faction will eventually come for us," Su Qingluo replied.
"Even so, if we keep a low profile and stay far away, the Dark Faction might not target our palace so soon. But if we participate so openly now and draw their attention, they might immediately dispatch an army to deal with us. And then the five major powers — the Azure Profound Sect and the others — will surely ally with the Dark Faction against us. Our Reincarnation Palace would be no match! The Dark Faction's strength is far too great, far too terrifying," the Grand Elder said.
"Grand Elder, I understand your concern. But the Dark Faction has already set its sights on me. They won't let me go easily. Moreover, Ye Yunfei is in danger right now. I cannot abandon him," Su Qingluo answered.
"Qing Luo, stay back. I can handle them myself," Ye Yunfei saw the deep concern etched on Su Qingluo's face as she rushed to his aid. A warm feeling rose in his heart, and he immediately sent a sound transmission.
Boom...
Ye Yunfei's body began to grow taller once more. He once again employed his Body Divine Ability, transforming into a colossal giant that scraped the heavens. He threw several consecutive punches, meeting the black monster head-on in direct clashes.
Roar...!
The black monster spewed terrifying dark rays from its body, while pitch-black energy surged violently around it. Undeniably, this creature was monstrously powerful.
However, after activating his Body Divine Ability, Ye Yunfei possessed limitless strength. Every movement could easily shatter the void, and his combat power had soared to incredible heights.
"Kill!"
The seven Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals roared in unison, their bodies blazing with flames as they unleashed various secret techniques and abilities of their faction against Ye Yunfei.
Boom! Boom!
The black great seal and the black longsword also renewed their assault on Ye Yunfei.
"Kill!"
Instead of retreating even half a step, Ye Yunfei bellowed and charged forward.
Fist techniques, palm strikes, footwork, finger arts, swordsmanship, soul swords, intangible heart swords, and various spatial martial skills he had obtained from Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm...
Ye Yunfei unleashed a myriad of techniques, displaying a truly fearsome level of combat power.
This battle was utterly terrifying. Ye Yunfei, single-handedly facing seven Perfected Earth Immortals, fought until the very skies cracked and the earth shattered. The void fractured repeatedly, leaving behind massive, inky-black spatial fissures.
"If this young man continues to grow, he will one day become the supreme power of these void realms!" Watching the battle, a flash of profound understanding dawned upon the Reincarnation Palace's Grand Elder.
"His combat prowess has already far surpassed mine," Su Qingluo stood not far away, her beautiful eyes glued to the terrifying clash, never leaving Ye Yunfei for a moment. "How laughable that I, relying on my own status and strength, once repeatedly tried to sever ties with him. Now he has far outpaced me."
At this point, the battle between the Light Faction and the Dark Faction was nearing its end. The Dark Faction forces had been almost halved, with most survivors fleeing this Small World for the relative safety of the Chaotic Void outside.
The various battalion leaders of the Light Faction did not pursue. Instead, they led their troops to a distance, watching the fierce duel between Ye Yunfei and the seven Dark Faction experts with tense anxiety, worried for Ye Yunfei.
The combined might of those seven Perfected Earth Immortals was simply overwhelming!
"Heh, I finally understand why Mister Liu holds this young man in such high regard. He truly is a prodigy!"
In a distant corner of space, a man dressed as a farmer watched Ye Yunfei with an appreciative gaze, murmuring to himself.
His body was enveloped in a special glow of law energy, making him difficult to perceive.
Bam!
At that exact moment, within the heart of the battleground, a figure was violently sent flying.
It was Ye Yunfei!
Simultaneously battling seven Perfected Earth Immortals burning their origin essence, plus contending with two incredibly powerful and indestructible artifacts, Ye Yunfei was finally starting to fall behind.
The two black artifacts, in particular, were far too potent. Every collision with them sent waves of searing pain through Ye Yunfei's fists, even causing them to split and bleed.
"Ye Yunfei, I'm coming to help you!" Su Qingluo's face paled in horror at the sight. Shouting, she immediately tried to rush forward.
"Let's all go together! Assist Commander Ye!" the Earth Immortal experts of the Light Faction also cried out one after another.
"Do not come! Your presence would be useless — you cannot help me now. You would only become a burden!" Ye Yunfei shouted.
In many situations, sheer numbers are meaningless in the face of absolute power. Ye Yunfei himself was proof, having slain swathes of Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts single-handedly.
"Alright. Let me lend him a hand. If anything were to happen to him, I'd have a hard time explaining to Mister Liu," the farmer in the distance muttered to himself.
With a flicker, he appeared right beside Ye Yunfei.
