"Be careful! This kid's strength is formidable!"
Sensing Ye Yunfei's immense power, the five Dark Faction experts were alarmed. They hurriedly warned each other.
In the next moment, a black treasure pearl shot out from each of the five Dark Faction experts. These five black pearls seemed to contain boundless dark energy. They arranged themselves in a peculiar formation and hurtled towards Ye Yunfei together.
The vast and mighty dark energy and Dark Laws forced Ye Yunfei to take a step back.
"They're actually five Golden Immortal-level magic treasures," Ye Yunfei was a bit surprised, though he estimated they should be only Initial Golden Immortal grade.
Since Ye Yunfei had already fused six Golden Immortal-level treasures within his body, he could barely withstand the five incoming treasures.
What surprised Ye Yunfei even more was that these five black pearls arranged themselves into a battle formation—a formation deployed using magic treasures. This was the first time Ye Yunfei had seen such a thing.
"So magic treasures can also be used to form battle formations," Ye Yunfei thought with astonishment.
"The power of these five treasures is impressive, but their owners are only Perfected Earth Immortals. I don't need to face these five Golden Immortal treasures head-on. I just need an opportunity to kill these five bastards."
Ye Yunfei quickly formulated a plan. While the five black pearls were potent, the five Dark Faction experts were merely Perfected Earth Immortals.
Boom!
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei took out thousands of magic treasures, activated them simultaneously, and blasted them towards the five Perfected Earth Immortals.
Among the treasures Ye Yunfei took out were five or six at the Golden Immortal level. Since he already possessed combat power on par with a Golden Immortal, he could activate these Golden Immortal-level treasures.
The simultaneous eruption of thousands of treasures, colliding with the five black pearls, instantly halted their offensive.
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Yunfei directly employed the Great Space Movement Technique and vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already behind the five Dark Faction experts. He unleashed the Spatial Cage Secret Art to press down on them, then threw a punch.
Five towering mountain peaks materialized from his fist, each crushing towards one of the five Dark Faction experts.
"Black Deity Formation!"
These five Dark Faction experts possessed formidable combat prowess and exceptional reaction speed. Faced with Ye Yunfei's onslaught, they immediately formed a battle formation. A phantom of a black Deity manifested above their heads, wielding a massive black scythe that swept towards Ye Yunfei.
"Even if it's your deity, I'll smash it!"
Ye Yunfei charged forward and threw a punch. Although the Black Deity Formation deployed by these five Dark Faction experts was powerful, they were, after all, Perfected Earth Immortals, while Ye Yunfei's combat strength was equivalent to a Golden Immortal's. After a few exchanges, the black Deity phantom was shattered by Ye Yunfei's fist.
"World Projection Formation!"
Ye Yunfei directly unleashed this inheritance secret art from the Chaos World Tree. The projection of a world descended from the sky, pressing down on the bodies of the five Dark Faction experts, causing them to simultaneously sink and struggle to move. Then Ye Yunfei's fist arrived, instantly blasting all five experts to pieces, turning them into clouds of bloody mist.
It must be said these five Dark Faction experts were among the most elite within the Perfected Earth Immortal realm, even stronger than the previous five Lords. However, they had encountered Ye Yunfei and were killed in moments.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand and retrieved the five black pearls.
The five black pearls all contained lingering Soul Power imprints from their former masters. They struggled to resist. However, Ye Yunfei extended a large hand, forcibly seized all five pearls in his palm, then executed Soul Swords to extinguish the residual souls within each.
"These five pearls seem to be part of a matched set. Their auras are interlinked, forming a whole entity. Their power is excellent," Ye Yunfei probed the pearls with his Soul Power, studied them for a moment, and nodded.
"If these five pearls were controlled by a Golden Immortal expert, the power they could unleash would certainly be far greater. It was a waste for five Earth Immortals to have them. But now they belong to me."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
While speaking, Ye Yunfei had already used a secret art to refine the five black pearls. He expelled all the dark energy and laws within, replacing them with his own energy and laws.
Soon, the color of the five pearls changed to white—their original color.
The reason Ye Yunfei was so interested in these five treasures was his discovery that they could form a battle formation. He had never seen a battle formation composed solely of magic treasures, so he decided to study them thoroughly.
Ye Yunfei had trained in the Weapon Control Art and possessed vast quantities of treasures. If he mastered the method of using treasures to form battle formations, the treasures he currently owned could unleash tremendous power.
At this moment, Huang Shang, Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Blood Clan Clone, and the Nine Divine Beasts were rampaging through this world, reaping the Dark Faction army like wheat wherever they went.
"Let's test the power of these five pearls!"
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger. The five pearls shot out simultaneously, forming a battle formation. They instantly blasted a Dark Faction Earth Immortal to smithereens. Under Ye Yunfei's control, the pearls then attacked one Dark Faction Earth Immortal after another, killing them all instantly.
Wherever the five pearls went, all Dark Faction members disintegrated into ash in moments.
"They're Golden Immortal-level magic treasures. Their power is far too strong."
With these five treasures joining the fight, all the Dark Faction members in this world were annihilated shortly after.
"Young man, thank you for keeping your promise and coming to aid our Light Race."
After the battle concluded, the Great Brightness Wheel suddenly pierced through space and stopped before Ye Yunfei. A voice transmitted from within.
"Senior, there's no need for such courtesy. The Dark Faction is the common enemy of all living beings in our region of spacetime. Everyone who can, must fight them. Since Bright Realm was attacked by the Dark Faction, I naturally came to help," Ye Yunfei quickly replied.
"Good. I did not misjudge you. You are a young man full of righteous feeling," the voice from the Great Brightness Wheel said.
"Young man, I have a favor to ask of you," the voice from the wheel transmitted again.
"Senior, please tell me what you need. If it's within my power, I will certainly assist," Ye Yunfei said.
"I once told you that this Great Brightness Wheel is a Golden Immortal-level magic treasure, but it was once shattered. Some fragments scattered throughout this region of spacetime. If those fragments could be collected and fused back into this wheel, it could be restored to its peak condition.
For many years, I have been trying to sense the auras of those fragments. Not long ago, I finally discovered their locations.
Therefore, I want to ask you to help me collect those fragments and fuse them back into this wheel.
All the Light Race members in this Bright Realm are my descendants, bearers of my bloodline. But many were killed by the Dark Faction this time. I must take revenge for them.
If you can help me recover the fragments, it may allow this Great Brightness Wheel to regain its peak-era power.
Then, I will have the confidence to seek vengeance against the Dark Faction and relieve this pent-up anger," the voice from the Great Brightness Wheel said.
"I see. Very well, Senior. Tell me the specific locations of those fragments. I will help you collect them and bring them back," Ye Yunfei directly agreed. He knew this ancient master of the Light Race was immensely powerful, and the Great Brightness Wheel was a potent treasure. Restoring the wheel to its peak power and gaining another powerful ally against the Dark Faction was something Ye Yunfei would naturally agree to.
"Young Master Ye, after discussion, we have decided. Our Bright Realm, from this moment on, will follow you to jointly oppose the Dark Faction."
At this moment, the Patriarch of the Light Race, accompanied by all the high-ranking elders, came before Ye Yunfei and announced.
The elders of the Light Race saw how many world forces were already following Ye Yunfei. Considering that Bright Realm had just been attacked by the Dark Faction, suffering heavy casualties, allying themselves with a powerful expert like Ye Yunfei in these chaotic times—joining forces with so many worlds to seek warmth together—would certainly provide greater safety.
Thus, Ye Yunfei directly agreed to the Light Race's request and incorporated them into his growing army.
Just then, Ye Yunfei's expression shifted slightly. He took out a jade slip from his person.
"I have contacted the major powers' forces and formed an alliance. Please come swiftly to assist and discuss important matters."
The voice transmitted from within the jade slip belonged to the Beast Lord.
"Very well. I will head over immediately," Ye Yunfei sent a reply through the jade slip.
He then bid farewell to the ancient Light Race master within the Great Brightness Wheel, promising he would spare the time to collect all the fragments and bring them back.
Next, he gathered all the forces under his command, transported them into the Phantom Tower, activated his Spatial Teleportation Token, and headed towards the direction of the Beast Realm.
At the same time, a black figure radiating terrifying energy appeared in a certain world among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"In this world, a Dark Faction army was once annihilated. Hei Que Mage, investigate and find out who did it," the black figure, standing high in the sky, seemed like a faint black shadow cloaked in a layer of profound law radiance. The other living beings passing by were unable to sense its presence.
Had Ye Yunfei been here, he would have instantly recognized this black figure as none other than the Dark Ancestor.
"As you command!"
A Dark Faction elder clad in a black robe nearby replied respectfully. This elder was precisely Hei Que Mage.
After significant numbers of Earth Immortals and troops from the Dark Faction were killed recently, the Dark Ancestor had brought Hei Que Mage to investigate.
Hei Que Mage pointed a finger. A black altar appeared before him, adorned with many black ritual flags and sacrificial items exuding sinister auras.
He then began performing a deduction secret art to deduce the events that had transpired in this world.
"Ancestor, I see the silhouette of that kid, Ye Yunfei! So it was him again!"
After a while, Hei Que Mage suddenly said gravely.
"Ye Yunfei! So he did it again!"
The Dark Ancestor's expression darkened, his teeth gritting.
"Correct. I deduced some of the battle scenes from earlier in this world. I saw Ye Yunfei slaughtering our Dark Faction members.
Moreover, his strength was formidable. He kept instantly killing our Earth Immortals.
It seems this kid's power has improved considerably.
One must admit, this kid is quite monstrous. Ancestor, it's best we don't underestimate him.
I deduced before—he might be a variable," Hei Que Mage told the Dark Ancestor.
"I don't care if he's a variable. I will definitely kill him," the Dark Ancestor said, his face grim.
"However, this kid seems to possess some concealment treasure. I actually can't sense his location. If I could locate him, I would have killed him long ago," the Dark Ancestor added.
"Ancestor, do not worry. From now on, I will continuously dedicate deductions to find Ye Yunfei," Hei Que Mage said.
"Good. Find him, and I will kill him personally," the Dark Ancestor nodded.
"Report, Ancestor!
I just received word. Many major powers in the Three Thousand Worlds are preparing to establish an alliance specifically to oppose our Dark Faction!"
Just then, a Perfected Earth Immortal from the Dark Faction entered this world, came before the Dark Ancestor, and reported.
"Useless. These so-called major powers are mere ants in my eyes.
This is even better. Let them gather together first, then annihilate them in one stroke. It saves trouble," the Dark Ancestor said with a cold laugh.
"Immediately dispatch a force to this world. Annihilate all its living beings," the Dark Ancestor's gaze swept across the land below. His tone was cold and indifferent.
He then extended a black hand and slammed it downward. The black hand continuously expanded, blotting out the sky. Finally, it slapped the vast land below, creating an immense palm imprint and causing the ground within that massive area to cave in deeply.
Every living being within the range of that gigantic palm imprint was instantly blasted apart.
Moreover, vast dark energy and Dark Laws transformed into surging black oceans, spreading incessantly across the land, shattering countless innocent lives wherever they reached.
The entire continent echoed with agonized screams, wails, cries for help, and desperate weeping… along with the thunderous roar of energy.
The entire continent was plunged into chaos by that one slap from the Dark Ancestor.
After delivering the blow, the Dark Ancestor turned and left this world with Hei Que Mage.
Soon after, a Dark Faction force entered this world. Led by dozens of Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts, they slaughtered every living being in the world in short order. Then, a group of Dark Faction resource harvesters entered the world, beginning to collect Flesh and Blood Essence and Soul Essence.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei had arrived at Beast Realm.
Several dozen winged beasts were guarding the entrance to Beast Realm. Seeing Ye Yunfei, they immediately led him respectfully inside.
The Beast Lord had already described Ye Yunfei's appearance and Soul Body aura to these guards.
As soon as Ye Yunfei entered Beast Realm, he received a transmission from the Beast Lord.
Ye Yunfei arrived before the entrance of a palace adorned with carvings of numerous beast totems and walked inside.
Immediately, numerous sharp, penetrating gazes fell upon him.
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze across the hall and found at least several dozen experts seated within, all emanating powerful auras. They were clearly from different major powers.
"Demon Race representatives, Monster Race representatives, the Netherworld… representatives from all those special realms are here," Ye Yunfei noted inwardly.
His gaze then fell upon a being enveloped in a mass of grey shadow, its form veiled by misty grey fog, making its true appearance difficult to perceive.
"This should be a representative from the Nether Shadow Realm," Ye Yunfei assessed, observing the grey silhouette.
"Everyone, allow me to introduce you. This is Ye Yunfei, the young genius of the Light Faction. I believe you have all heard his name by now."
The Beast Lord immediately stood up, warmly welcoming Ye Yunfei and loudly introducing him to the gathered representatives.
"So this is the Light Faction's young genius, Ye Yunfei. Hmm, I have indeed heard this young man's name many times," an ancient fiend exuding intense demonic energy said, his eyes flashing with sharp light as he gazed at Ye Yunfei in a strange tone.
Boom!
A powerful surge of demonic energy, like raging tides, blasted towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei responded with a cold sneer, standing perfectly still.
Bang! Bang!
The vast demonic energy crashed against Ye Yunfei's body. The energy shockwaves caused the palace hall to tremble.
Yet Ye Yunfei stood rooted, utterly immobile, treating it as a passing breeze, completely unperturbed.
Ye Yunfei sensed this ancient fiend was a Perfected Earth Immortal, his strength not inferior to the previous seven Lords of the Dark Faction.
"It seems the Demon Race has kept their depths hidden. A random ancient fiend stepping out actually possesses such strength," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but muse inwardly.
"This is an Elder of the Demon Race. His strength is quite solid," the Beast Lord transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Impressive.
Indeed, the younger generation surpasses the old," the ancient fiend, seeing that Ye Yunfei completely ignored his demonic energy, couldn't help but look slightly surprised. He then spoke.
"Senior wished to test my strength, did you? Very well, I shall offer a humble demonstration," Ye Yunfei said plainly. He took a step forward and threw a punch.
Boom!
A terrifyingly powerful fist force surged forth, sweeping towards the ancient fiend. Five enormous mountain peaks materialized, rumbling forward as if to suppress him.
"What fearsome physical strength!"
"Truly worthy of his reputation!"
...
The other representatives in the hall, sensing Ye Yunfei's power, were secretly astonished.
Clang!
A demonic blade suddenly manifested before the ancient fiend, humming and emanating rolling demonic energy as it moved to block Ye Yunfei's fist.
"Two honorable ones, please halt. We are here to discuss cooperating against the Dark Faction, not to watch your sparring."
At this moment, an elder suddenly spoke.
Whoosh!
The Beast Lord moved instantly, positioning himself between Ye Yunfei and the ancient fiend, separating them.
"Two honorable ones, point taken is sufficient," the Beast Lord said.
"Heh...
Indeed, heroes emerge from the young. I have shown my own inadequacy," the ancient fiend let out a cold laugh. He retracted the demonic blade before him, took a step back, and returned to his seat.
"Young Master Ye, you slaughtered many Ancient Demons back in Canghuang Realm, did you not? Moreover, as I understand, you later enslaved all the Ancient Demons of Canghuang Realm.
Although the Ancient Demons in that realm are weak, they are a branch descended from our Demon Race… and more precisely, my descendants," the ancient fiend added.
So that's why!
Only now did Ye Yunfei understand why this ancient fiend had suddenly attacked him.
