“Very well, I’ll fuse it now!”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Next, Ye Yunfei applied his full concentration and exerted himself to the utmost, activating the Transform Body into Artifact Secret Art to continue fusing that Golden Immortal-level artifact.
This time, Ye Yunfei found the process to be remarkably smooth!
That Golden Immortal-level artifact, suppressed by the energy unleashed by the seal Mr. Liu had implanted, could no longer resist Ye Yunfei’s fusion attempt.
Approximately half an hour later, Ye Yunfei finally succeeded in fusing this one Golden Immortal-level artifact!
“This is a significant enhancement!”
Ye Yunfei felt a surge of pleasant surprise in his heart.
He had finally fused a Golden Immortal-level artifact!
Clenching his fists, Ye Yunfei felt terrifying physical power swell forth from his body, its vast momentum distorting the surrounding space in continuous waves.
“Having fused a Golden Immortal-level artifact, I can now instantly annihilate any Earth Immortal!”
Ye Yunfei could feel his physical frame brimming with seemingly boundless power.
“But this still isn’t enough. This level of power definitely cannot contend against the Dark Ancestor! At the very least, I must fuse a batch of Golden Immortal-level artifacts to have even the slightest confidence to face him.”
This was Ye Yunfei’s quiet reflection.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei took out another Golden Immortal-level artifact, and continuing to use the Transform Body into Artifact Secret Art, he resumed his attempts at fusion.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei continued cultivating energies and laws from other aspects.
Large batches of various energy crystals were constantly refined and absorbed by him.
The Nine Divine Beasts were also endlessly devouring vast quantities of cultivation resources, and the pressure of their released energy continued to rise from their colossal forms!
Ye Yunfei estimated that the Nine Divine Beasts’ current combat prowess was sufficient to confront Perfectly Perfected Earth Immortals head-on. They could even effortlessly defeat the majority of Earth Immortals at that level.
The Heart-Refining Pearl hovered in front of Ye Yunfei’s body, continuously honing his Mental Force energy.
Ye Yunfei channeled a steady stream of his Mental Force into the Heart-Refining Pearl. After a cycle of tempering within, it would return elevated by a full grade.
With this Heart-Refining Pearl, Ye Yunfei could utilize any spare moment to cultivate and enhance his Mental Force energy and its associated laws.
At the same time, one of Ye Yunfei’s Soul Bodies was specifically and repeatedly studying and contemplating the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture.
As it turned out, the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture was deeply related to the Nine-Yang Scripture Ye Yunfei had cultivated before. They belonged to the same foundational technique!
The Nine-Yang Scripture could be considered a basic version, while the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture could be seen as its advanced counterpart!
“Excellent. From now on, the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture will be my primary cultivation technique!”
After reading the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture over and over multiple times, Ye Yunfei was filled with yearning for it, thinking to himself with excitement.
Then, Ye Yunfei began cultivating the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture!
In this manner, Ye Yunfei was cultivating several different techniques at the same time!
This was primarily because Ye Yunfei possessed two Soul Bodies, and moreover, his physical form contained a Chaos God Vein. Such innate talent was naturally far superior to that of ordinary living beings, which allowed Ye Yunfei not only to cultivate swiftly but also to master several arts simultaneously.
If this fact spread, it would undoubtedly incite envy and jealousy in the vast majority of living creatures!
Unbeknownst to him, a year had passed within the Phantom Tower.
“I’ve finally succeeded in fusing my sixth Golden Immortal-level artifact! The quality of my physical body has increased significantly yet again!”
Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
Over this year, Ye Yunfei had been persistently fusing Golden Immortal-level artifacts, and by now, he had fused a total of six!
Both his physical strength and bodily quality had increased nearly tenfold compared to before!
Such physical power was truly terrifying!
Ye Yunfei estimated that, with a single fist strike now, he could shatter over ten Perfectly Perfected Earth Immortals!
“The reason you’ve managed to fuse so many Golden Immortal-level artifacts is largely due to the seal Mr. Liu implanted in your Soul Sea! Without it, forget six, you wouldn’t necessarily have succeeded with even one Golden Immortal artifact.”
Hun Lao’s voice suddenly rang out.
“You’re right, Hun Lao. That seal from Mr. Liu has indeed been a tremendous help to me. It was a fortunate, unforeseen gain for me when Mr. Liu implanted it into my Soul Sea back then.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Next, Ye Yunfei focused his senses on his Space Energy, Time Energy, Soul Power, and Mental Force. To his delight, he found that all these energies had significantly advanced!
Then, Ye Yunfei turned his gaze towards the Nine Divine Beasts.
It was fair to say that, over the past year, the Nine Divine Beasts had consumed the greatest amount of cultivation resources—nearly half of the total was devoured by them. Of course, the effects were extremely apparent. Each of the Nine Divine Beasts’ bodies had clearly become far larger than before. Standing there, each one exuded a terrifying pressure of energy, manifesting as surging energy hurricanes with a frightening presence.
“These Nine Divine Beasts can already easily defeat Perfectly Perfected Earth Immortals. If the Nine Divine Beasts merge and combine with the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel to unleash their strongest combat form, they could almost instantly annihilate the vast majority of Earth Immortals at that level!”
Ye Yunfei focused his senses on the beasts’ energies and nodded in satisfaction.
“Finally, my cultivation of the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture is also proceeding along the correct path. It can be considered initially mastered. At the very least, this technique can support my cultivation until I become a Heavenly Immortal!”
Although he had just begun cultivating this technique, Ye Yunfei was already aware of how profoundly profound it was.
“Alright. It’s time to begin my breakthrough!”
After a year of cultivation, Ye Yunfei had already grasped the trigger for advancement. He felt that he could now attempt to push his cultivation to a higher realm.
“My primary technique is now the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture. So I shall use the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture to assist in my breakthrough attempt.”
Ye Yunfei began circulating the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture to initiate his breakthrough.
Time flew. Another month passed within the Phantom Tower.
After that month, Ye Yunfei suddenly burst out of the Phantom Tower and ascended to the skies high above the secret chamber. At this moment, the high heavens were covered in thick, dark clouds, with thunderclouds churning wildly.
Ye Yunfei stood upon the lowering, ink-black clouds. Moments later, thunder began rumbling down in torrential waves. The Tribulation had officially begun!
Standing amid the raging cascade of lightning and thunder, Ye Yunfei offered no resistance. Instead, he allowed the heavenly lightning to bombard his physical body—he was borrowing the lightning’s power to temper his flesh.
At the same time, the thunder-attribute divine beast from among the Nine Divine Beasts emerged, standing beside Ye Yunfei and continuously devouring the bolts of heavenly lightning crashing down from above.
“So it’s Ye Yunfei breaking through!”
At this time, a large group of high-ranking Light Faction members had gathered, their gazes fixed on Ye Yunfei standing amidst the torrential thunder. A measure of surprise and delight colored their faces. Everyone knew Ye Yunfei’s combat prowess was formidable already. If he successfully broke through again, his combat power would surely rise to another level, becoming even stronger.
Since Ye Yunfei was already a pillar expert of the Light Faction, holding his own against formidable opponents, all were naturally thrilled by the prospect of him growing more powerful.
