"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei let out a fierce roar alongside the Light Faction army, then unleashed the Greater Space Body Movement Art and instantly vanished.
The Greater Space Body Movement Art was one of the racial inheritances of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. After obtaining the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's primordial bloodline, Ye Yunfei had become able to cultivate it. Now that he was employing it, it was truly marvelous. In the next moment, he silently arrived in front of four or five Dark Faction Earth Immortals. Throughout the entire process, he didn't leak any aura; not a single expert from the Dark Faction managed to detect his presence.
Even the seven Venerables immediately lost track of Ye Yunfei's aura, not knowing where he had gone.
Originally, one of the Dark Faction Venerables had specifically targeted Ye Yunfei, for the Dark Ancestor had given orders to capture him alive. Hence, the seven Venerables of the Dark Faction had already agreed upon catching Ye Yunfei. But just as that Venerable charged towards Ye Yunfei, he vanished without a trace.
"Now!"
Ye Yunfei appeared in the midst of the Dark Faction army, arriving before several Earth Immortals, and shouted the command.
Ye Yunfei, Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Blood Clan Clone, and the Nine-headed Divine Beasts appeared beside him, standing on a huge round wheel.
"Don't forget me!"
At that moment, Su Qingluo also led the Reincarnation Palace forces as they rushed out from the Phantom Tower.
During this period, Su Qingluo had been in secluded cultivation within the Phantom Tower. Now that the great battle had erupted, she had charged out with her Reincarnation Palace troops and shot a glare at Ye Yunfei. She knew his reason for not calling her out to fight himself was to protect her. But she wasn't one to let others shield her.
"Alright, join our team then. We'll hunt Dark Faction Earth Immortals together," Ye Yunfei replied, not daring to contradict her, and said with a smile.
Then, Ye Yunfei led the charge towards those few Dark Faction Earth Immortals, launching a ferocious attack.
First, Hu Miao unleashed her illusion arts, instantly pulling those unsuspecting Dark Faction Earth Immortals into one dreamscape after another.
Next, Ye Yunfei used the Intangible Heart Sword and Soul Sword, simultaneously invading their sea of consciousness. Ye Yunfei also deployed Space Prison Cages, directly pinning those Earth Immortals in place.
Pitifully, under such a frenzied assault, those Dark Faction Earth Immortals instantly lost their ability to react, immobilized where they stood.
Thud! Thud!...
Ye Yunfei, Su Qingluo, Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Blood Clan Clone, and the Nine-headed Divine Beasts struck simultaneously, directly blasting those immobilized Dark Faction Earth Immortals into clouds of bloody mist. The whole process took barely half a breath!
The Blood Clan Clone immediately used the Blood Control Art, devouring all the bloodline essences left behind by those Earth Immortals.
After destroying those Dark Faction Earth Immortals, Ye Yunfei promptly used the Greater Space Body Movement Art, taking his team and disappearing. When they reappeared, they were behind another six Dark Faction Earth Immortals.
These six were locked in battle with a Light Faction Earth Immortal — six Dark Faction Earth Immortals ganging up on just one!
In merely a few moves, the Light Faction Earth Immortal was already at a complete disadvantage, on the verge of being slain.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei instantly deployed several dozen Formations, immediately trapping the six Dark Faction Earth Immortals within.
The strongest among these six was merely at the Advanced Earth Immortal level. Against the Formations set up by Ye Yunfei, they had no ability to break them.
Ye Yunfei, Su Qingluo, Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Blood Clan Clone, and the Nine-headed Divine Beasts all rushed into the Formations together, then struck as one. Cutting through the tangled mess with a swift sword, in just one breath, they slaughtered all six Dark Faction Earth Immortals.
Both Ye Yunfei and his Blood Clan Clone already possessed the strength to defeat Perfected Earth Immortals. Hu Miao's illusion arts could affect the vast majority of Earth Immortals. The Nine-headed Divine Beasts' combat prowess was now close to the Perfected Earth Immortal level and could completely defeat Advanced Earth Immortals. Su Qingluo was now at the Advanced Earth Immortal realm and already possessed battle strength matching that of a Perfected Earth Immortal! This team was simply capable of overwhelming ordinary Earth Immortals.
Thus, as the great battle had just begun, in less than three breaths of time, Ye Yunfei had already slain nearly ten Dark Faction Earth Immortals!
"I must speed up my killing. Only by eliminating as many Dark Faction Earth Immortals as possible can I maximally weaken their forces!" Ye Yunfei was not entirely satisfied, for the current battlefield situation was clearly unfavorable to the Light Faction.
The Dark Faction army actually possessed over six hundred Earth Immortal experts! In contrast, the number of Light Faction Earth Immortal experts was under two hundred! Consequently, the battlefield witnessed scenes of five or six Dark Faction Earth Immortals encircling one or two Light Faction Earth Immortals—or even over a dozen Dark Faction Earth Immortals besieging just two or three Light Faction ones!
Not long after the battle began, the Light Faction Earth Immortal experts felt immense pressure.
Of the Dark Faction's seven Venerables, one was pursuing Ye Yunfei, while the other six were separately engaging the six core high-level members of the Light Faction in fierce battles.
Ye Yunfei soon realized, however, that the combat prowess of those Dark Faction Venerables was truly terrifying. Though they were at the Perfected Earth Immortal realm, an ordinary Perfected Earth Immortal would likely be instantly annihilated in front of them! The fighting strength of these Dark Faction Venerables was alarmingly close to that of a Golden Immortal!
Not even Ye Yunfei was confident he could defeat them!
"What's going on? Senior Chu, Senior Tianwu, and our other four core elders all seem to be in a bit of a poor state; it looks like they can't match those Venerables," Ye Yunfei observed, seeing that the six core high-level members of the Light Faction all seemed somewhat helpless and were being forced to retreat continuously.
"The combat power of these Dark Faction Venerables is truly overwhelming!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.
"Wait... These six seniors all appear to be Clones! What exactly is going on?" Ye Yunfei's Soul Power was immensely powerful, and he quickly discovered this fact, feeling greatly shocked.
Only now did Ye Yunfei realize that the six core high-level members of the Light Faction all only had their Clones present within the headquarters!
"What in the world is happening? This is the decisive battle between the Light Faction and the Dark Faction, yet the true bodies of these six seniors aren't even here! How are we supposed to fight like this?" Ye Yunfei began to worry.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei saw that the twenty-eight battalions had already formed seven battle formations. Above each formation hovered a massive, gleaming lance radiating dazzling divine light and overwhelming murderous aura!
The Battle Lance Formations!
Boom! Boom!...
Seven gigantic battle lances rose high over the battlefield, sweeping forward with terrifying destructive power. Wherever they passed, Dark Faction soldiers were chopped into mincemeat.
The twenty-eight battalions, grouped four to a battle formation, were led from the front by the commanders of each battalion. All the energy from the soldiers of four battalions converged into a single entity, possessing not only formidable offensive power but also powerful defensive capabilities. They charged through the battlefield with terrifying momentum.
In truth, the overall individual strength of the soldiers in the twenty-eight battalions wasn't especially strong. But after deploying the Battle Lance Formations, their collective combat effectiveness increased dramatically. Even Light Faction Earth Immortals who encountered these formations and failed to dodge were instantly blasted to bits upon impact.
"Excellent!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but voice his approval upon seeing this scene. No wonder that old senior had specifically gifted this set of Battle Lance Formations to Ye Yunfei. On the battlefield, this type of formation could indeed unleash formidable combat might!
However, the Dark Faction army was simply too massive in scale. It outnumbered the Light Faction forces by at least tenfold! As far as the eye could see, the Light Faction headquarters was inundated by swarms of Dark Faction soldiers, like a dark ocean threatening to swallow everything.
Ye Yunfei could see that the Dark Faction army had already gained the upper hand.
Whether considering the high-level experts or the ordinary troops, the Dark Faction possessed a clear and significant advantage! The Light Faction forces were beginning to retreat step by step, suffering increasing casualties.
"My most important task now is to kill as many Dark Faction Earth Immortals as possible. Otherwise, with over six hundred of them, our Light Faction army won't be able to cope. We could very well lose this battle!" Anxiety crept into Ye Yunfei's heart.
Though Ye Yunfei had eliminated nearly ten Dark Faction Earth Immortals since the battle began, against a total of over six hundred, it was still insufficient to alter the overall course of the conflict.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei released the four Avatars, flooding them with large quantities of energy crystals to grant them combat power equivalent to his true body.
In this way, there were now five Ye Yunfei's participating in the battle!
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei used the Greater Space Body Movement Art, taking his team and vanishing once more.
He then appeared behind over a dozen Dark Faction Earth Immortals who were besieging three Light Faction Earth Immortals.
"Ye Yunfei! Nowhere to run!" As Ye Yunfei appeared behind those Dark Faction Earth Immortals, one of the Venerables detected his presence and immediately shot towards him.
"Now!" Ye Yunfei barked the command.
The five Ye Yunfei's, Su Qingluo, Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Blood Clan Clone, and the Nine-headed Divine Beasts charged together towards those dozen-plus Dark Faction Earth Immortals.
Ye Yunfei's true body waved his hand, first deploying several dozen Formations that instantly trapped those Dark Faction Earth Immortals. Then he rushed forward, unleashing his physical body's strength and throwing punches left and right.
Against the counterattacks of those Earth Immortals, Ye Yunfei didn't dodge or evade, allowing their strikes to land on his body as if beating iron, sparks flying.
"Die!" Ye Yunfei punched an Advanced Earth Immortal's body, blasting it apart. That Advanced Earth Immortal had swung a black scythe at Ye Yunfei's body, but Ye Yunfei remained completely unharmed.
Thud! Thud!...
Ye Yunfei landed a series of consecutive punches, pulverizing several Dark Faction Earth Immortals in a row.
The other four Avatars, Su Qingluo, the Blood Clan Clone, the Nine-headed Divine Beasts, Hu Miao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also fought with all their might, swiftly dispatching the remaining Dark Faction Earth Immortals. The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm even released a batch of particularly ferocious poisonous insects that swarmed over those Earth Immortals, devouring them relentlessly, forcing screams of agony from their throats.
Thud! Thud!...
Through their joint effort, in less than three breaths, they exterminated all dozen-plus Dark Faction Earth Immortals.
