"So the legend is true! The Dark Ancestor truly possesses the divine ability to resurrect his clansmen!"
Many high-ranking members of the Light Faction watched this scene with grave expressions. They had heard rumors before that the Dark Ancestor could revive members of the Dark Faction, but they never imagined it was real.
In mere moments, vast numbers of Dark Faction members were resurrected, reappearing on the battlefield to join the fray.
The revival of these Dark Faction members directly boosted the overall combat power of the Dark Faction army significantly.
The onlookers even witnessed many Dark Faction Earth Immortals being revived!
"How are we supposed to fight this?"
Light Faction members who saw this were somewhat dumbstruck. The enemy's slain forces could be brought back to life—it was practically unkillable!
"What's going on?"
"So many Earth Immortals cannot be revived!"
"Their physical essences and Soul Body essences seem to have vanished!"
At that very moment, the Dark Ancestor suddenly spoke in a furious tone.
"Ancestor, the physical and Soul Body essences left behind by our Dark Faction Earth Immortals after their deaths have already been devoured."
"The physical essences were devoured by that Blood Clan creature, and the Soul Body essences were devoured by that Ghost Cultivator!"
A black-robed figure approached the Dark Ancestor and reported clearly. This black-robed figure was a Resource Collector of the Dark Faction.
"So that's it!"
"That Blood Clan creature is one of Ye Yunfei's clones."
The Dark Ancestor's cold, sinister gaze turned towards Ye Yunfei.
"I've been looking for him for a long time. Today, I've finally encountered him."
The Dark Ancestor stared at Ye Yunfei, speaking coldly.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei also sensed the Dark Ancestor's gaze. An icy chill ran through his entire body as he perceived a tremendous threat.
"Ancestor, after conducting a divination just now, I discovered that the variable in this Cataclysm War still persists."
"Moreover, I have deduced what the specific variable is."
At this moment, Hei Que Mage stepped forward and reported to the Dark Ancestor.
"Oh?"
"Then, what exactly is this variable you divined?"
Upon hearing Hei Que Mage's words, the Dark Ancestor immediately inquired.
"The variable is Ye Yunfei!"
"I deduced that he has the potential to alter the outcome of this war!"
"Ancestor, I also divined that Ye Yunfei might affect the enterprise you have cultivated in this space-time... namely, that Yin Seed."
Hei Que Mage pointed a finger at Ye Yunfei in the distance and spoke with a grave expression.
"Ye Yunfei is the variable you speak of?"
"How is that possible?"
"I admit he does possess some talent, but compared to the power I command, he is far too insignificant. How could he possibly affect that Yin Seed?"
Upon hearing Hei Que Mage's words, the Dark Ancestor was first taken aback, then he spoke. However, his tone also became somber.
He knew very well the strength of Hei Que Mage's divination skills. Over the years, Hei Que Mage had performed numerous divinations for him and had become one of his most capable aides. Therefore, he would not disregard Hei Que Mage's prognostications.
"Hei Que Mage, since you divined that Ye Yunfei is the variable, regardless of whether it is true, I will personally finish him."
"The plans I have set in motion in this space-time absolutely cannot be interfered with by anyone. All unfavorable factors must be eliminated!"
After a moment of thought, the Dark Ancestor said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Ancestor. Regardless of whether Ye Yunfei is the variable or not, this human boy is too peculiar. His rate of growth is alarmingly fast."
"The sooner we eliminate him, the better."
Hei Que Mage nodded in agreement.
"Forget it for now. The Dark Ancestor's strength is definitely superior to those seven Masters. I probably can't defeat him. I should focus on killing more Dark Faction Earth Immortals while I can."
Ye Yunfei, sensing the Dark Ancestor from afar, understood that this was a horrifically powerful expert and thought to himself. In truth, Ye Yunfei had never stopped slaughtering Dark Faction Earth Immortals. In this brief moment alone, Ye Yunfei, leading Huang Shang and the others, had slain nearly a hundred more Earth Immortals.
It could be said that wherever Ye Yunfei's squad went, no Dark Faction Earth Immortal could withstand them. They were almost all instantly annihilated.
At this time, the armies of both sides fought with increasing ferocity on the battlefield.
The combat energy released by this great battle continued to radiate through the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, causing the endless space-time to tremble violently, as if unable to bear the strain.
On the battlefield, the roar of energy, the clashing of weapons and magical treasures, battle cries, and screams all converged, forming rolling waves of sound that nearly reverberated throughout the entire Three Thousand Worlds.
More and more Dark Faction members were revived, continuously boosting the Dark Faction's overall combat power.
The battle potency of the seven Weapon Formation arrays deployed by the Light Faction's twenty-eight battalions also seemed to grow stronger, as the troops of the twenty-eight battalions relentlessly practiced this battle formation on this brutal battlefield, becoming increasingly proficient and unleashing greater power.
Seeing the formidable strength of the battle formations deployed by the twenty-eight battalions, the Light Faction's high command was overjoyed. Some high-ranking members inquired via Sound Transmission and learned that Ye Yunfei had taught them this battle formation.
The Light Faction's War Remnant Souls gathered together, employing Ghost Cultivation Arts to generate vast amounts of ghost mist, ghost walls, and other spectral formations, filling the entire battlefield with the shrill screams of fierce ghosts and evil spirits.
The number of these War Remnant Souls exceeded a hundred thousand. When gathered, their power was immense. Moreover, these War Remnant Souls possessed extensive combat experience and a tenacious fighting will, enabling them to unleash formidable combat prowess. Even the Dark Faction Earth Immortals who encountered these War Remnant Souls had to give them a wide berth, their scalps tingling, not daring to clash head-on.
At this point, the Dark Faction's seven Masters were battling the Light Faction's four core leaders, holding the upper hand.
Overall, the two sides were temporarily evenly matched on the battlefield.
"Ancestor, look. Ye Yunfei's actual combat strength far surpasses his cultivation realm."
"Beings like this are generally quite fearsome."
Hei Que Mage said to the Dark Ancestor.
"I'll kill him now, to cut off future troubles."
The Dark Ancestor nodded. Although he didn't quite believe that Ye Yunfei could influence the final outcome of this war, let alone affect his designs in this space-time, he didn't dare ignore Hei Que Mage's divination.
BOOM!
The Dark Ancestor extended a large hand that instantly traversed space-time, appearing directly above Ye Yunfei's head.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei was leading Su Qingluo and others in encircling and slaughtering a dozen or so Dark Faction Earth Immortals. In less than two breaths, all of these Dark Faction Earth Immortals were completely annihilated.
"Everyone, enter my spatial treasure now!"
Just then, Ye Yunfei suddenly sensed a terrifying crisis approaching him and immediately shouted.
In the next instant, Ye Yunfei transported Su Qingluo and the others into the Phantom Tower.
Then Ye Yunfei perceived the appearance of a large black hand, saturated with terrifying energy, above his head.
Furthermore, numerous black talismanic symbols, akin to schools of deep-sea fish, began spreading throughout the space.
The space where Ye Yunfei stood had already been sealed by formidable dark energy.
"Not good!"
"That Dark Ancestor is actually attacking you personally!"
Hun Lao was the first to shout.
"That old monster is too strong! We're definitely not his match!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed loudly.
In an instant, Ye Yunfei unleashed all of his energy. Simultaneously, he activated several space-type secret arts in rapid succession, including the Great Space Movement Technique, Space World Warp, and the Space-Time Vanquishing Art, forcing his way into a distant region.
However, this space was suppressed by dark energy. Within it, Ye Yunfei felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire, his movements becoming arduous.
"Boy, you will not have a good end for opposing me."
At that moment, the Dark Ancestor's icy voice echoed beside Ye Yunfei's ear.
"Don't be afraid. The Ancient Covenant is here."
"When the Ancient Covenant attacks him, seize the time to get far away from him. That old monster's strength is immense, and he is profoundly mysterious."
Just as Ye Yunfei was struggling with all his might, he suddenly received a Sound Transmission from Old Man Chu.
BOOM!
A gigantic palm, radiant with golden light, tore through space, manifesting directly above Ye Yunfei's head to intercept the Dark Ancestor's black hand.
"Today, I will destroy this so-called Ancient Covenant."
"Resource Collectors, the energy contained within this palm is quite decent. After I shatter it, collect it promptly."
The Dark Ancestor said coldly.
"We obey the Ancestor's decree!"
The Dark Faction's Resource Collectors responded in unison.
"Old monster!"
"Get out of our space-time!"
The golden giant palm actively charged toward the Dark Ancestor, emitting a furious cry before striking at the Dark Ancestor with a palm strike.
"Ye Yunfei, retreat immediately!"
Old Man Chu shouted at Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei activated the Great Space Movement Technique and instantly left his original position.
By then, the golden palm was already locked in battle with the Dark Ancestor.
However, Ye Yunfei quickly realized that the golden palm was no match for the Dark Ancestor.
Facing the golden palm's attacks, the Dark Ancestor appeared nonchalant, swatting the golden palm away with a single slap.
Yet after being sent flying, the golden palm rushed back to attack the Dark Ancestor once more.
"The Ancient Covenant is not so impressive after all."
The Dark Ancestor raised his hand and sent the golden palm flying yet again.
Everyone watching this scene paled slightly.
Within the Three Thousand Worlds, the Ancient Covenant was a mysterious and formidable existence. Even Earth Immortal experts treated it with considerable wariness, generally unwilling to provoke it.
But now, the Ancient Covenant appeared so feeble before the Dark Ancestor, a testament to the Dark Ancestor's overwhelming combat power.
"Reporting to the Ancestor!"
"Our Dark Faction reinforcements have arrived!"
At that moment, a Dark Faction expert arrived before the Dark Ancestor to report.
"Let them in. End this war as soon as possible."
The Dark Ancestor nodded.
In the next instant, group after group of troops surged into this world from outside like a mighty tide.
"We are allies of the Dark Faction. We have come today to join forces with the Dark Faction against the Light Faction!"
"Today marks the demise of the Light Faction!"
...
Dense ranks of troops poured into the battlefield like tidal waves, charging towards the Light Faction forces.
These were all the major powers from within the Three Thousand Worlds, including those from the Main World, that had chosen to ally with the Dark Faction.
After receiving the Dark Faction's request for reinforcements via message, these great forces had immediately brought their armies to join this war.
"Fools!"
"These idiots simply don't know what they're doing, actually allying with the Dark Faction! They won't even know how they die!"
Watching those major powers charge into the battlefield to attack Light Faction troops, the Light Faction's high command was filled with fury.
"There's no helping it. The Dark Faction promised them tempting benefits and deceived them with lies."
Old Man Chu sighed softly.
The Light Faction's original purpose was to protect this space-time and the beings within it. Yet now, so many major powers within this space-time had chosen to ally with the Dark Faction, turning against the Light Faction instead. This left many Light Faction members somewhat disheartened.
"There are people from Reincarnation Palace here! Kill! Kill all of Reincarnation Palace's people first!"
At that moment, the major powers from the Main World spotted the Reincarnation Palace members and roared as they charged forward.
These Reincarnation Palace forces had come with Su Qingluo, joining the Light Faction army and participating in the combat on this battlefield from the very beginning.
With the arrival of massive reinforcements, the Dark Faction's overall combat power increased substantially, while the Light Faction troops came under greater pressure.
"Seven Masters, summon our Dark Faction commanders, big and small. I have a batch of Formation Flags here that can help our Dark Faction army form a true Black God Formation."
Suddenly, Hei Que Mage addressed the Dark Faction's seven Masters.
Upon the order from the seven Masters, numerous Dark Faction commanders, both major and minor, swiftly rushed out of the battlefield, arriving before Hei Que Mage.
Hei Que Mage produced a large quantity of black Formation Flags and distributed them to these Dark Faction commanders. Then, he transmitted to them several hand seals and incantations.
"Good. Go deploy our Dark Faction's true Black God Formation. Let them witness the might of our Dark Faction's Black God Formation."
Hei Que Mage declared.
The Dark Faction commanders immediately rushed into the battlefield carrying the Formation Flags and began assembling their respective subordinates to form the formations.
Soon after, one battle formation after another was set up.
Above each formation, a black Deity manifested, radiating fierce murderous intent and astonishing combat power.
"This formation again... but its power is much stronger now!"
Seeing the Dark Faction's battle formations, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
Previously, outside, the Dark Faction army had deployed this Black God Formation to breach the eighteen Bright Ancient Formations. However, its current power was far greater.
As the Dark Faction army deployed numerous Black God Formations, their overall combat power surged once more.
Fortunately, Ye Yunfei had already slain close to three hundred Dark Faction Earth Immortals, leaving the Dark Faction with only a little over three hundred Earth Immortals remaining.
The number of Earth Immortals on the Light Faction side, combined with those under Huang Shang's command, now exceeded the Dark Faction's count.
Thus, the Light Faction could still hold their ground.
"Old Man Chu, I can't hold on any longer. Persevere. Proceed according to the plan!"
At that moment, another core leader of the Light Faction could no longer endure. Under the combined assault of two Masters, he was smashed to pieces. Before his death, he shouted loudly.
Now, only three of the Light Faction's six core leaders remained, struggling desperately.
"Seven Masters, I will give each of you a Formation Flag. It will aid you in deploying the Seven Killers Formation for swift killing."
At that moment, Hei Que Mage suddenly sent a Sound Transmission to the seven Masters.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hei Que Mage waved his hand, tossing out seven black Formation Flags that landed before each Master. Simultaneously, he sent a Soul Power stream of information into the soul seas of each Master—this was the method for setting up the Seven Killers Formation.
In the next moment.
The seven Masters moved, swiftly gathering together. Each activated a black Formation Flag, deploying a battle formation.
Immediately after, a massive beast shrouded in thick, black mist materialized above the seven Masters. This was simulated by the formation.
BOOM!
The seven Masters, accompanied by the seething, mist-enveloped beast, charged forward. Wherever they went, groups of Light Faction troops were instantly shattered into clouds of black mist.
Five or six Light Faction Earth Immortals, unable to evade in time, were directly smashed and exploded upon impact.
In the blink of an eye, the massive black beast charged before Old Man Chu. Extending a colossal beast claw, it swatted down, directly knocking Old Man Chu flying, causing him to cough up blood repeatedly.
So powerful!
Everyone who saw the black beast simulated by the formation was deeply shocked.
"Die!"
The seven Masters roared in unison, directing their attack towards another core leader of the Light Faction.
AH...
In merely three moves, that Light Faction core leader was slain.
Thus, the Light Faction now only had two core leaders remaining: Old Man Chu and Tianwu Chan Master.
"Seniors, I'm afraid we cannot achieve victory in this battle."
Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to Old Man Chu and Tianwu Chan Master.
"Even if we can't fight on, we must fight."
"We have to hold back these enemies in front of us."
Old Man Chu replied via Sound Transmission.
"Hold back these enemies?"
"Senior, does our Light Faction have other arrangements?"
Sensing a hidden meaning in Old Man Chu's words, Ye Yunfei inquired.
"Yes. Ideally, we would hold back the Dark Ancestor himself."
"It's a pity our strength is too lacking."
"I don't know if we can manage to hold the Dark Ancestor back."
Old Man Chu replied with a sigh.
