"This is bad! That Dark Ancestor fellow has come to trouble you again!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transformed into a streak of golden light and shot into the Tian Beast World, arriving before Ye Yunfei and exclaiming in alarm.
Huang Shang also rushed into the Ancient Beast Realm, coming to Ye Yunfei's side.
The two of them had just gone to hunt down the Dark Faction members who had invaded the other few Small Worlds, and had already killed them all.
Afterward, they sensed the Dark Ancestor's aura and hurriedly came to regroup with Ye Yunfei.
"The Dark Ancestor's target is you. If you want to protect this world, you'd best leave here immediately. Otherwise, once the Dark Ancestor enters the Canghuang Realm, he will surely destroy it," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei at this moment.
"Right! I must leave this world at once!"
Upon hearing Hun Lao's words, Ye Yunfei's heart sank.
The Dark Ancestor was too powerful. If a fight were to break out within the Canghuang Realm, the consequences would be devastating.
"I will leave with you," the middle-aged man said.
Then, he raised his hand and tossed out an ancient yellow tower. It hovered high in the sky of the Ancient Beast Realm, generating a powerful suction force.
Whoosh...
In this Small World, a huge number of birds and beasts began soaring into the sky, being directly sucked into that ancient yellow tower.
In less than the time it takes a breath, Ye Yunfei found that almost half of the birds and beasts in this Small World had been absorbed into the yellow tower.
The birds and beasts that remained were those who had not yet developed spiritual intelligence.
"Let's go," the middle-aged man said to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man immediately flew out of the Ancient Beast Realm.
"I want to take all the people of the Qingyun Palace within the Canghuang Realm, along with some forces closely connected to me," Ye Yunfei said, extending his palm.
His palm continuously expanded as he grasped several times in different directions across the world. With each grasp, he lifted up a large group of living beings, directly stuffing them into the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei knew he could not take all living beings from this world because there simply wasn't enough time, and the Phantom Tower could not contain them all.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei only took away a portion.
"I hope this world can survive this calamity peacefully," Ye Yunfei sighed as he surveyed the Canghuang Realm.
Then, Ye Yunfei activated his Space Teleportation Token, preparing to teleport away.
From the moment Ye Yunfei heard the Dark Ancestor's cold laugh, his series of actions were executed with extreme speed. Though this description may make it seem drawn out, in reality, it all happened within a few breaths.
Rumble...
The Space Teleportation Token erupted with a powerful teleportation energy that enveloped Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man, intending to teleport them away from this space.
"Hmph!
How dare you try to escape in front of me?"
The Dark Ancestor's cold snort sounded once more.
Then, Ye Yunfei felt an intensely terrifying dark energy appear all around him. At the same time, strands of black runes materialized out of thin air, swiftly moving through this space, instantly sealing off the area where Ye Yunfei was.
"So powerful!"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.
From such a great distance, the Dark Ancestor was actually able to seal the space Ye Yunfei was in. This kind of ability made Ye Yunfei sigh in reluctant admiration.
"Bad! This space has already been sealed by that old monster! Even the Space Teleportation Token is affected!" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cried out in alarm.
"Let's try and combine our strength to break that old monster's seal! We must be quick; if we delay, it'll be too late. That old monster is about to arrive!" Hun Lao shouted.
"Let me handle it!"
At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke up.
As soon as his words fell...
Rumble...
A massive divine beast phantom appeared behind the middle-aged man. A rich, bloody aura billowed up like endless columns of smoke, surging like a tsunami that reached the heavens, terrifying to the extreme. Instantly, it shattered all the sealing energy the Dark Ancestor had imposed upon this space.
Then, the teleportation energy of the Space Teleportation Token returned to normal, directly carrying Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man away as they teleported, disappearing from sight.
"How is this possible?"
Ye Yunfei was utterly shocked.
This Mythical Lion had actually shattered the Dark Ancestor's sealing energy in an instant! Even Ye Yunfei himself did not have the confidence to accomplish such a feat.
One must know that Ye Yunfei's current combat power was already enough to easily defeat average Perfected Earth Immortals. Ye Yunfei believed that even if he encountered one of the Sovereigns of the Dark Faction, he could confidently engage them in a head-on fight.
Ye Yunfei could hardly believe that this Mythical Lion was actually stronger than him!
"It's possible he is exceptionally proficient in spatial energy, or perhaps he employed some extremely powerful technique or secret art to achieve this effect," Hun Lao transmitted, aware of Ye Yunfei's shock.
"But just now, it seemed like the power he unleashed was a bloodline power, not spatial energy, nor did it resemble any technique or secret art," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Indeed," Hun Lao nodded, recalling the terrifyingly imposing divine beast phantom that appeared behind the middle-aged man.
"Wait, we nearly overlooked it. His true form is the Mythical Lion. According to legends, the Mythical Lion is a divine beast.
His injuries are now fully healed. Perhaps this is his true strength," Hun Lao added.
"Yes. The Mythical Lion is a rare beast race, and legend says it is a divine beast. Its rank should be very high. Him possessing such strength doesn't seem strange," Ye Yunfei pondered, finding Hun Lao's reasoning logical.
At this time, the Space Teleportation Token had already carried Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man far away from the Canghuang Realm, appearing within a Chaotic Void in the distance.
The Dark Ancestor's target was Ye Yunfei. Upon sensing that Ye Yunfei had already left the Canghuang Realm, he did not enter it. Instead, he changed direction, directly pursuing Ye Yunfei's current location.
"Boy Ye Yunfei, you cannot escape. As long as you are still within this space-time continuum, I will find you."
The Dark Ancestor's cold laughter rang out as he locked onto Ye Yunfei's figure.
"Thank goodness, he didn't enter the Canghuang Realm!" Ye Yunfei heaved a sigh of relief, noticing that the Dark Ancestor had not entered the Canghuang Realm.
"Ye Yunfei, just what treasure did you obtain within that Deity's tomb? How about this: you offer the treasures you obtained to me, and I can spare your life.
To be honest, you are a rare, monstrously talented youth. How about this: you pledge allegiance to me and serve me in the future.
Rest assured, I will not treat you poorly."
The Dark Ancestor's voice rumbled forth, continuously transmitting into Ye Yunfei's ears.
By this time, Ye Yunfei had long since reactivated the Space Teleportation Token.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei employed his stealth secret art, coordinating with the talisman imprint of Mr. Willow within his Soul Sea to meticulously conceal his aura.
"Old thing, what makes you worthy? Asking me to pledge allegiance to you? You don't have the qualifications," Ye Yunfei retorted.
Rumble...
At the instant the Space Teleportation Token was activated, another utterly terrifying dark energy arrived from afar, directly sealing the area of Chaotic Void where Ye Yunfei was.
But before Ye Yunfei could even react, the massive divine beast phantom behind the middle-aged man appeared once again, releasing a majestic and vast bloodline energy that instantly shattered the Dark Ancestor's seal.
