If you want the Yin Seed, it will depend on your own capabilities," Ye Yunfei said calmly.
In fact, Ye Yunfei had been periodically communicating with that dark child, urging it to leave his body.
However, no matter how Ye Yunfei threatened or enticed, that dark child adamantly refused to come out, repeatedly threatening Ye Yunfei instead, demanding those three mysterious fruits.
Those three Golden Lotus Fruits were far too precious, brought out by Ye Yunfei from a Divine Tomb; they were treasures of a Deity. How could Ye Yunfei possibly be willing to give them to the Yin Seed?
Yet, Ye Yunfei also didn't dare to take action against it, so the two sides found themselves locked in a stalemate.
"Hmph! A junior brat like you actually dares to speak to us in such a tone? How truly insolent! Since that's the case, we'll first smash your body into pieces and then retrieve that Yin Seed!"
The Netherworld Five Elders were all furious.
"Let me handle him alone!"
One of the old men moved like a ghost, charging towards Ye Yunfei.
In his hand, he held a black dagger, which he threw forward, transforming into a colossal black dragon. It opened its maw and bared its claws, pouncing murderously towards Ye Yunfei.
"Fine! Let me test just how strong you Golden Immortal experts really are!"
Having recently enhanced his physical strength, Ye Yunfei was precisely looking for an opportunity to have a major battle with these Golden Immortal experts.
Boom! Boom! Rumble...
Ye Yunfei charged forward, neither dodging nor evading. He threw a punch directly. Above his fist, five towering mountain peaks materialized, their combined might rumbling with heaven-shaking force as they pressed forward together.
With a deafening CLANG!, Ye Yunfei's fist collided with the black dagger. Showers of sparks splashed out like cascades of dazzling star rivers.
His physical strength of nearly twenty thousand Jiao granted Ye Yunfei astonishing combat power. He directly smashed the dagger, sending it flying backward.
"How is this possible?!"
"This kid's physical strength is utterly terrifying!"
Feeling the endless physical force bearing down on him, causing his arm to tremble uncontrollably, that old man was inwardly horrified.
"This brat's combat power seems much greater than before!"
The five old men exchanged glances, all deeply shocked.
"Attack together!" one of the elders commanded with a grave voice.
All five old men rushed at Ye Yunfei simultaneously, forming an extremely sophisticated battle formation. Each hurled a black dagger, which transformed into five massive black dragons. They roared furiously and pounced murderously at Ye Yunfei together.
Unfazed, Ye Yunfei waved his hand. Five white pearls soared upward, forming their own battle formation that surged forward, each clashing head-on with one of the five black daggers.
Ye Yunfei himself charged straight to the front of the five old men, throwing a flurry of five punches in succession, engaging in direct, brute-force combat with them.
With twenty thousand Jiao of physical strength combined with the several physical-type techniques and martial skills previously taught to him by the Great Power Demon God, Ye Yunfei, fighting one against five, found himself evenly matched with the five old men!
"This brat is simply a monster! His combat power has actually increased so much in such a short time!"
Sensing Ye Yunfei's endlessly surging, terrifying physical power, the Netherworld Five Elders were secretly alarmed.
They had fought Ye Yunfei before, so they had a fairly good understanding of his combat prowess. This sudden, drastic increase in his strength was somewhat hard for them to believe.
After all, they were five Golden Immortal experts joining forces against a mere junior at the Earth Immortal realm, yet they couldn't gain the upper hand even after a prolonged battle.
"My current battle strength, even among the Golden Immortal level, can no longer be considered too weak."
Ye Yunfei was quite satisfied with his physical power.
Previously, with ten thousand Jiao of physical strength, Ye Yunfei had only barely possessed battle power at the Golden Immortal level, and he would have been considered relatively weak within that tier.
But now, with his physical power doubled, Ye Yunfei's combat strength was no longer weak, even among other Golden Immortals.
"When you offend a young monster like this, the best method is to eliminate him thoroughly. If we give him a chance to continue growing, he'll someday come looking for revenge!"
The Netherworld Five Elders sent urgent Sound Transmissions to each other.
"Fusion Art!"
Suddenly, one of the old men barked sharply.
Then, the five elders swiftly converged, merging together into a tall monster with three heads and six arms, radiating an aura of decay and withering.
Boom! Rumble...
This giant three-headed, six-armed monster charged towards Ye Yunfei, its entire body laden with terrifying energy, subjecting Ye Yunfei to immense pressure.
BOOM! Rumble...
Ye Yunfei activated a physical Divine Ability. His body continuously expanded, directly transforming into a giant who stood with his head reaching the heavens and his feet planted on the earth. He threw a punch towards the monster.
Boom! Crack!
The giant monster's six arms all waved, striking towards Ye Yunfei. Its three ferocious, sinister-looking heads simultaneously spewed streams of pitch-black flame that burned towards him.
"What kind of technique or secret art is this?" Ye Yunfei wondered, inwardly shocked.
BOOM! Rumble...
Ye Yunfei and the three-headed, six-armed monster engaged in a fierce battle. The sky darkened and the earth shook, with the surrounding space continuously collapsing.
After several exchanges, Ye Yunfei was struck by a punch from the monster and sent flying.
This monster, formed from the fusion of five Golden Immortal experts, possessed utterly shocking combat power.
"Kid, you are indeed a monster. But you're still too green to fight us!" the monster said in a slurred, unclear voice.
As it spoke, it advanced step by step. Its terrifying energy surged like an ocean, battering the surrounding space.
CLANG! CRACK!
At that moment, a resplendent blade of light surged from behind Ye Yunfei, cutting through space as if slicing through soft tofu wherever it passed.
Ye Yunfei punched back towards the source. With a resounding CLANG!, his fist was actually cleaved in two by the blade light, blood spraying everywhere.
A tall, middle-aged man wielding a long blade strode forward.
"Hand that Yin Seed over to me immediately!" this middle-aged man demanded. His gaze was cold and sharp as a blade, looking down at Ye Yunfei from a superior position.
"Kid, if you hand that Yin Seed over to me, this Crown Prince can guarantee your safety!"
A young man exuding an aura of nobility strode forward from another direction. Floating above his head was a large yellow seal, upon which five five-clawed golden dragons seemed ready to soar into the sky, appearing incredibly lifelike.
Two more Golden Immortal experts had arrived!
In fact, these Golden Immortal experts had long been lying in ambience nearby. Now, seeing Ye Yunfei at a disadvantage and fearing the Yin Seed would be snatched by others, they had all revealed themselves to make a move against him.
"Old Man Dark Ancestor has arrived too! He'll reach this place very soon!"
Right at that moment, Hun Lao suddenly said urgently.
SHHWWW!...
After slicing Ye Yunfei's fist in half, the middle-aged man with the blade continued his attack. The blade in his hand shone as brightly as a lightning bolt, cleaving through space. The endless blade aura was overwhelmingly oppressive.
Ye Yunfei's fist instantly recovered, but he dared not block with his flesh again. He summoned the five white pearls, forming a battle formation to intercept.
CLANG! CLANG!...
The five white pearls collided with the long blade one after another, creating deafening clangs.
"Kid, since you remain obstinately stubborn, you can just die."
Meanwhile, the noble young man also closed in, his voice chillingly cold. He threw a punch at Ye Yunfei. Instantly, a terrifying Imperial aura enveloped the entire area. Vaguely, it seemed an ancient Emperor was launching an attack against Ye Yunfei, causing everyone to feel a chill from the horrific Imperial Majesty.
"That's the Heavenly Son Divine Fist!"
"Could it be… he truly comes from that ancient power?"
One of the Netherworld Five Elders couldn't help but murmur softly.
"Haha, young man, I told you last time. The Yin Seed is far too precious; you cannot hope to monopolize it."
"How about this: hand it over to me, and I will keep it safe for you temporarily. Once you've weathered this crisis, we can slowly discuss its proper ownership then."
"Rest assured, even if I ultimately keep this Yin Seed, I will pay you corresponding compensation that will satisfy you. I absolutely won't be like these other fellows, wanting to seize it for nothing."
At this moment, an old man appeared in the distance, striding forward as he spoke to Ye Yunfei. A young page boy followed closely behind him.
Yet another expert had shown himself!
In truth, Ye Yunfei was already well aware that all these Golden Immortal experts were lying in ambience around him, waiting for his arrival.
"If you want the Yin Seed, then all of you come and fight me! Let me see what you're made of!"
Seeing one Golden Immortal after another appearing, Ye Yunfei roared fiercely.
Originally, Ye Yunfei had already shaken off these Golden Immortal experts, but now, for the sake of returning to the Beast Realm to rescue the Alliance Army, he had once again fallen into their encirclement. Even worse, the Dark Ancestor was also on the verge of arriving.
Just as Ye Yunfei faced off against the Golden Immortal experts and was about to be ganged up on, a different Ye Yunfei suddenly appeared on the continent of the Beast Realm.
This Ye Yunfei employed various stealth and concealment secret arts, thoroughly masking his own aura as he stealthily arrived in front of the immobilized and sealed Alliance Army. Then, he began unsealing these forces.
Huang Chang, Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hu Miao all also took action simultaneously, assisting in removing the seals from the Alliance Army. They worked with incredible speed, successfully freeing the entire army within moments.
"Everyone, prepare to depart this place!" Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to the Alliance Army, ready to lead them away.
"Please let us out. Our Demon Realm troops will leave on our own; we won't trouble Young Master Ye any further."
Just then, Ye Yunfei received a Sound Transmission from an old demon inside the Phantom Tower.
"Young Master Ye, our Demon Race members also intend to leave on our own."
Another old devil sent Ye Yunfei a Sound Transmission, also originating from within the Phantom Tower.
Then, several other major faction leaders transmitted the same intention to Ye Yunfei.
"Very well, then."
After a moment's thought, Ye Yunfei directly teleported all the experts from these factions out of the Phantom Tower.
These experts promptly returned to their respective faction's encampments.
Ye Yunfei hadn't been very familiar with these major powers in the first place, so he felt no need to insist on keeping them.
"Beast Lord, what about you?"
Ye Yunfei asked the Beast Lord.
"Our Beast Realm forces will follow you," the Beast Lord replied.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei teleported the Guardian Faction and Beast Realm troops into the Phantom Tower, preparing to leave.
But at that moment.
BOOM! Rumble...
Suddenly, dense demonic power surged. A massive, claw-like manifestation of demonic energy materialized and clawed towards Ye Yunfei.
The sudden turn of events was too swift. Ye Yunfei couldn't dodge in time and was struck by the demonic claw, sent flying backward.
"Young Master Ye, we were together in the Nurturing Yin Land confronting that Yin Seed. Now, you yourself just take the Yin Seed away. That's hardly fair, is it?"
A monster enveloped in roiling clouds of demonic mist appeared, its voice hoarse as it questioned.
"Ye Yunfei, how about this: hand that Yin Seed over to our Demon Race. That way, those Golden Immortal experts will stop hunting you."
A tall old devil appeared, his piercingly sharp gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as he spoke.
"How can this be?!"
"There are actually Golden Immortal experts in the Demon Realm and the Devil Race too?"
Ye Yunfei stared at the monster and the old devil before him, greatly taken aback.
"Ye Yunfei, I'm quite curious, which one is actually your true body? The one standing before us now, or the one fighting those Golden Immortal experts?"
A man shrouded in billowing deathly aura appeared. His face was as pale as if he hadn't seen sunlight for years.
Ye Yunfei was shocked. This man, who had emerged from the Netherworld Army's ranks, was actually also a Golden Immortal expert!
"They must have entered from the outside world. They shouldn't be inhabitants of our current space-time!" the Beast Lord suddenly spoke.
"Oh? So, are you saying Golden Immortal-level experts from outside have entered the Demon Realm, the Devil Race, and the Netherworld?"
"Does it mean these three major powers have heritage in other space-times as well, with even stronger forces that possess Golden Immortal experts?"
Ye Yunfei was momentarily stunned.
"Most likely so," the Beast Lord nodded.
"Be careful; these fellows are also here for the Yin Seed," the Beast Lord added.
By now, the monster, the old devil, and the ashen-faced man had already surrounded Ye Yunfei, ready to make their move.
"Truly unlucky. This Substitute Doll is also being surrounded by Golden Immortal experts," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but transmit mentally.
This particular Ye Yunfei was actually a Substitute Doll, specially sent to rescue the Alliance Army.
Ye Yunfei's true body was the one currently engaged in battle with those Golden Immortal experts.
Because the aura of this Substitute Doll was identical to Ye Yunfei's main body's aura, even Golden Immortal experts found it somewhat difficult to see through the deception.
