"Hmph, so it's a Suanni Lion."
The Dark Ancestor snorted coldly upon seeing the divine beast phantom manifesting behind the middle-aged man.
While Suanni Lions were a rare breed of beast, their images were circulated across many worlds and thus were relatively easy to recognize.
Rumble...
The next moment, a pitch-black seven-story pagoda tore through the air, swirling with runes and emanating a terrifying aura. It continuously enlarged, bearing down with the intent to suppress Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man.
"This Dark Ancestor really is powerful. A mere clone of his possesses such strength," the middle-aged man said with a furrowed brow.
"Yes, this is only one of his clones," Ye Yunfei nodded. He had seen through it long ago: what was currently pursuing the two of them was merely a clone of the Dark Ancestor.
At that moment, the black seven-story pagoda rolled forward in its descent, making the space where Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man stood feel as if countless sacred mountains were descending together. The very space shattered inch by inch.
Ye Yunfei felt his body turn heavy, as if mired in a quagmire, making movement difficult.
"This is a high-level magical treasure of the Dark Faction. Its power is immense. I'll break it!" the middle-aged man shouted.
Rumble...
The next instant, a golden radiance shot towards the heavens, erupting in a vast expanse of golden light that illuminated every minute detail of the surrounding space-time.
Then, Ye Yunfei saw a golden Beast Bone continuously expanding, instantly filling the space. It released waves of thick, primal Bloodline energy that surged skyward to clash with the black pagoda.
"We can go! Activate your teleportation treasure again!" the middle-aged man said to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei immediately activated the Space Teleportation Token. A powerful teleportation force wrapped around him and the middle-aged man, then whisked them away.
The Beast Bone vanished along with the middle-aged man.
"That was a weighty treasure of the Ancient Beast Race! Could that fellow from earlier belong to them? But how would a member of the Ancient Beast Race come to this space-time?" the Dark Ancestor muttered to himself.
He had recognized the origin of that golden Beast Bone; he knew it belonged to a very powerful race.
"Hmph, so what if it's the Ancient Beast Race? Our Dark Faction isn't to be trifled with either. Since that Ancient Beast Race fellow chose to interfere in this matter, he becomes my enemy. He will be killed without mercy!" Soon after, the Dark Ancestor snorted coldly, his figure flickering as he pursued in the direction Ye Yunfei had departed.
"That brat's aura is growing fainter and fainter!" At this point, the Dark Ancestor realized Ye Yunfei's aura was weakening, becoming increasingly difficult to sense.
However, the Dark Ancestor was powerful and possessed many methods. He could still lock onto Ye Yunfei's location. Moreover, since the Suanni Lion was with Ye Yunfei, he could use the lion's presence to pinpoint him.
By now, Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man had appeared in another region of chaotic void within the Three Thousand Worlds.
"Your teleportation treasure is quite remarkable. I can't even accurately determine what rank of a treasure it is," the middle-aged man remarked, looking at the Space Teleportation Token in Ye Yunfei's hand.
"Yes, it has always served me well," Ye Yunfei nodded. Without this Space Teleportation Token, Ye Yunfei estimated he would have been caught by the Dark Ancestor already.
Kill...
In a world in the distance, a large army of the Dark Faction was slaughtering the innocent beings of that world wherever they went. The clamor of battle shook the heavens; cries of despair, agonizing screams, furious shouts, and pleas for mercy rose in a continuous cacophony.
The might of the Dark Faction's army was overwhelming; the beings in that world had no power to resist at all!
Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power perception far and wide, discovering that several other worlds were also being attacked by Dark Faction armies, presenting similarly tragic scenes.
Columns of Dark Faction troops marched through the chaotic void, their murderous aura palpable. Everywhere they went, beings fled at the mere rumor of their approach.
The strength of the Dark Faction was simply too great. With thousands of Earth Immortals personally leading the charge, no world they encountered had the power to resist!
Ye Yunfei also saw that many worlds had already been reduced to ruins, their populations completely wiped out. Mountains of corpses piled high, blood flowed in rivers, and the stench of blood and gore filled the air.
Simultaneously, many Resource Gatherer envoys of the Dark Faction were entering and exiting worlds, collecting the essence of flesh, blood, and Soul Bodies.
"The Dark Faction is too powerful! We are no match for them at all. We must flee immediately, and find the Light Faction!" Many beings scattered in panic through the chaotic void, like headless flies, utterly terrified.
At this moment, many remembered the Light Faction. After all, throughout the ages within the Three Thousand Worlds, only the Light Faction had ever dared to confront the Dark Faction head-on.
"The Light Faction has long since hidden themselves who knows where. Even their headquarters was destroyed. Now, we simply don't know where to look for them!"
"Looking for the Light Faction now is useless anyway. I heard they have been crippled by the Dark Faction and have little fighting capacity left. Only a remnant force survived and went into hiding."
"Such a curse! When the Light Faction and Dark Faction were at war before, we all stood by and watched the show, refusing to help the Light Faction. Now that the Dark Faction is turning on us, the Light Faction won't help us either!"
...
Many powerful figures from various worlds began to regret. If they had all helped the Light Faction against the Dark Faction in the past, perhaps they wouldn't be facing such consequences now.
Looking out, wailing resounded everywhere across the Three Thousand Worlds. Hearts were filled with dread. Countless powerful beings wanted to flee their worlds but didn't know where to go. For throughout the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Worlds, Dark Faction armies were everywhere.
"It seems the Dark Faction truly intends to destroy this entire space-time," the middle-aged man sighed, shaking his head at the sight.
"We will go to the Beast Realm!" the middle-aged man said to Ye Yunfei.
"The Beast Realm?" Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
This was his first time hearing of a world called the Beast Realm, so he had no idea of its specific location.
"I'll give you the spatial coordinates," the middle-aged man said, waving a hand and sending a strand of Soul Power information containing the Beast Realm's coordinates into Ye Yunfei's soul sea.
Ye Yunfei immediately inputted the Beast Realm's spatial coordinates into the Space Teleportation Token, preparing to teleport there directly.
"However, if we go just like this, we'll definitely lead the Dark Ancestor there and expose the Beast Realm. We need to find a way to shake off his pursuit first," the middle-aged man suddenly said.
Rumble...
At that moment, a massive black palm appeared above Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man, radiating immense power as it expanded and slapped down towards them.
The Dark Ancestor had caught up again!
The middle-aged man once again summoned the golden Divine Beast Bone, which vibrated and repelled the colossal black palm overhead. Seizing the chance, Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token, and they vanished.
A moment later, the Dark Ancestor appeared exactly where Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man had just been standing.
"Hmph, you two won't get away." The Dark Ancestor's face turned somewhat grim.
If Ye Yunfei didn't possess that Space Teleportation Token, if that Suanni Lion didn't have that golden Beast Bone, he would have caught them long ago!
