"The Yin Seed was taken by that kid Ye Yunfei? How could this happen!"
The ten Golden Immortal experts of the Dark Faction were greatly shocked upon hearing Dark Ancestor's words.
"Also, each of you ten shall devour a hundred Earth Immortals from our Dark Faction. This will allow your strength to surge dramatically in a short period," Dark Ancestor spoke again after some thought.
Upon hearing Dark Ancestor's words, the ten Golden Immortal experts all revealed expressions of surprise. Although the Dark Faction was known for its violent, cruel, and bloodthirsty nature, the act of devouring their own kind was somewhat hard to accept.
"Why hesitate! This is an opportunity for you to increase your strength. Devouring a hundred Earth Immortals will boost your current power by several times at the very least!" Dark Ancestor's face darkened.
"Understood, Ancestor!" The ten Golden Immortal experts, meeting Dark Ancestor's sharp and menacing gaze, felt a pang of fear in their hearts and hurriedly nodded one after another.
"Good. First, go and devour a hundred Earth Immortals each. Then set out to find that kid Ye Yunfei. No matter what, you must bring him to me!" Dark Ancestor said slowly.
Then, Dark Ancestor turned his gaze towards the old man standing in the distance. "Master Geomancer, how exactly did that kid Ye Yunfei manage to traverse the deadly terrain you laid just now?"
Dark Ancestor looked at the old man, his tone carrying a hint of reprimand.
The old man felt somewhat displeased inwardly at Dark Ancestor's words, but maintained a calm demeanor on the surface. "Ancestor, can't you see? That kid is also an Earth Master. Moreover, his level in the Geomancy Technique is extremely high. I was completely unaware of this beforehand, so he seized the chance to break through the deadly terrain I had set."
"Hmph!" Dark Ancestor snorted coldly. "Using your Geomancy Technique, is there any way to track that kid?" he asked after a moment's thought.
"I have memorized the aura of his Soul Body. I will attempt it," the old man replied.
"Very well. If you can find that kid, I will definitely reward you handsomely!" Dark Ancestor nodded, then turned and left.
After Dark Ancestor departed, the old man turned his gaze towards Du Fan. "Du Fan, come here. I have questions for you!"
"Master, what is it?" Du Fan immediately walked over.
"Was it you who helped Ye Yunfei traverse the deadly terrain I laid just now?" The old man stared at Du Fan with piercing eyes.
"Master, why do you suspect me?" Du Fan was inwardly startled and hurriedly answered.
"Do not try to deceive me! Although that kid Ye Yunfei is also skilled in the Geomancy Technique, it's impossible for him to find the method to break my deadly terrain and traverse it so effortlessly in such a short time! Unless you aided him in secret!" The old man's gaze grew even more intense.
"Master…" Du Fan did not know how to respond.
"Enough, you don't need to say more. I already understand what happened," the old man waved his hand.
"Master, Dark Ancestor intends to destroy this spacetime. Why are we helping him?" Du Fan cautiously asked.
"What does Dark Ancestor destroying this spacetime have to do with us? Du Fan, on the path of cultivation, you'd best not harbor such compassionate thoughts. The so-called Great Dao is without sentiment. The mightier a being becomes, the more they must sever all worldly attachments. Only then can you remain unburdened and have the chance to reach higher realms." The old man spoke in a lecturing tone.
"Master, I haven't reached that level yet. How can I possibly achieve the Great Dao being without sentiment? I am a native of this spacetime. This is my homeland, where my family, my sect, and my friends are from. To stand by and watch them be annihilated by the Dark Faction… I cannot accept it!" Du Fan hardened his heart and spoke directly.
The old man stared at Du Fan, his expression complex. "Indeed, you cannot do it now. Du Fan, remember this: you possess a rare and supreme earth affinity constitution. Your talent is exceedingly high. If you continue diligently on the path of Geomancy Technique, your future achievements will surely surpass mine, and you may even become a legendary Divine Master. Therefore, I plan to take you away from this spacetime to develop in another spacetime."
After a long while, the old man sighed softly and spoke quietly. "Let's go. I will no longer concern myself with Dark Ancestor's matters." With that, he turned and left.
"Thank you, Master!" Hearing his master's words, Du Fan couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He knew his master no longer intended to assist Dark Ancestor.
At this moment, within the Nurturing Yin Land...
"Hei Que Mage, you shall devour two hundred Earth Immortals from our Dark Faction. This will drastically increase your strength, after which you shall help me deduce the whereabouts of that kid Ye Yunfei!" Dark Ancestor summoned Hei Que Mage before him and transmitted his voice.
"I obey the Ancestor's decree!" Hei Que Mage immediately replied.
He was Dark Ancestor's loyal confidant. No matter what orders Dark Ancestor gave, he would only obey.
"Ancestor, should we continue the World-Destroying War?" Hei Que Mage inquired.
"Temporarily halt it. We will resume after retrieving the Yin Seed. During this time, deploy all our forces and use every possible means to find Ye Yunfei and seize the Yin Seed back!" Dark Ancestor fell silent for a moment before replying slowly.
"Hei Que Mage, go quickly and devour a hundred Earth Immortals. I will start searching for Ye Yunfei now," Dark Ancestor added.
Whoosh!
After speaking, Dark Ancestor's figure flashed as he directly left the Nurturing Yin Land, arriving in the Chaotic Void outside. He released his Soul Power energy, sending his perception sweeping out in all directions.
Rumble...
Dark Ancestor's Soul Power energy was terrifying. Fluctuations as vast as an ocean swept out like roiling tidal waves, roared like gales, and surged like tsunamis, shaking the entire Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
At this moment, countless powerhouses throughout the Three Thousand Worlds were startled. They emerged one after another to investigate the cause of this sudden burst of Soul Power fluctuations and saw Dark Ancestor's massive, overwhelmingly powerful form.
"That's the Dark Ancestor of the Dark Faction! It is said he's the one who wants to destroy our spacetime!" Many powerhouses watched Dark Ancestor's colossal figure, secretly alarmed yet also wearing expressions of anger.
For some time now, the Dark Faction's armies had been massacring cities and wiping out worlds throughout the Three Thousand Worlds. They had exterminated a large number of realms and slaughtered countless innocent beings. Each horrific account of world-annihilation had already shaken the entire spacetime, frightening countless worlds and their inhabitants.
"Dark Ancestor seems to be looking for someone! Who is he looking for?" Sensing the terrifying Soul Power energy released by Dark Ancestor, some powerhouses couldn't help but voice their confusion.
