"Hmm?
That old dog the Dark Ancestor isn't here?"
Ye Yunfei was momentarily stunned upon hearing the Earth Immortal's cry, then utilized his movement technique, instantly appearing before this Earth Immortal. Reaching out, he lifted him off his feet.
Even though this Earth Immortal was at the peak Perfected Earth Immortal realm, the immortal energy Ye Yunfei emanated was simply too terrifying, as vast as an ocean, completely suppressing him and rendering him immobile. Like a chicken, he was hoisted aloft by Ye Yunfei, his face turning red from the choking pressure.
"Tell me, where has that old fool the Dark Ancestor gone?" Ye Yunfei asked in a sinister voice.
*Crack, crack…*
The terrifying aura of energy Ye Yunfei released began crushing the Earth Immortal's body with audible cracks. All the bones within him shattered in an instant, his entire body losing its structural support and going limp as it hung.
"How can this be!
This brat is clearly in the same realm as me, how can his immortal energy be this terrifying?!" Panic gripped the heart of this Dark Faction Earth Immortal as he roared internally, utterly unwilling to accept this.
"Speak!"
With a pulse from Ye Yunfei's palm, the entire body of this Dark Faction Earth Immortal below his shoulders was instantly crushed into a bloody mist, leaving only a gory head and neck.
"The Ancestor has gone to the Canghuang Realm, to annihilate it!
Ye Yunfei, what skill is there in bullying us? If you have the guts, go find the Ancestor himself!" In his terror, the Earth Immortal screamed back.
"I'll go find him."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei spoke in an ice-cold voice. His palm gave another slight tremor, and both the Soul Body and head of the Earth Immortal were blasted into dust, scattering into nothingness.
"That old bastard Dark Ancestor actually ran off to the Canghuang Realm!"
Ye Yunfei's expression darkened. He immediately took out his space teleportation token, activated it, and teleported directly back towards the Canghuang Realm.
At that very moment, within the starry expanse of the Canghuang Realm, a total of five separate groups of people completely surrounded Long Yingying and the others.
"You lot have such immense audacity!
You actually dare to come cause trouble in our Miss Long's homeland!"
The six elders standing beside Long Yingying looked on grimly at the powerful experts from various factions encircling them. One of the elders slowly spoke up, his voice cold.
"I don't care who you six are or where you came from. If you're smart, you'll turn around and leave this instant. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves."
A tall member of the Demon Race fixed the six elders with a fierce gaze and sharply reprimanded them.
"It is you who should be leaving!"
Hearing the Demon's words, the six elders all sank into stern expressions, showing anger.
One of them pointed a finger. The Pink Command Banner suspended in the starry sky suddenly erupted, releasing an endless torrent of energy and laws, along with a massive number of mysterious, faintly pink runes. Instantly, the entire starry space began to quake violently, resonating with the banner.
Vast waves of energy and laws swept out like a boundless ocean, crushing towards the experts of those major forces.
The power of this banner was extremely fearsome; the sheer magnitude of energy and laws it unleashed caused all those experts to change their expressions drastically.
During the previous encounter, these powerful experts from those major forces had been driven off by this very banner.
However, this time, they had come prepared.
"Did you truly think only you possessed magical treasures?!"
An elderly demon sneered coldly. He took a step forward and swung his hand.
*Boom…*
A dark purple demonic banner flew out from his palm. Soaring skyward, it unfurled continuously, stretching across the void until it covered a vast, seemingly endless expanse.
Images flickered vaguely within the banner's fabric, constantly revealing scenes that suggested it concealed a magnificent world of demons. Runes filled with the essence of demonic civilization and belief scattered forth continuously from the flag. Along with them came the overwhelming, imposing demonic energy, shaking the world.
*Boom…*
This demonic banner fluttered defiantly in the starry sky, stirring up cosmic winds. Its demonic might was awe-inspiring, exuding an air that looked down upon the entire world. It squarely faced the Pink Command Banner, as if forming a balanced opposition.
"I never expected you to bring the Demon Soul Banner here as well!"
A member of the Demon Race stared at the demonic banner, shocked, and couldn't help but exclaim aloud.
"This isn't the true Demon Soul Banner, but a replica. Even though it's an imitation, it possesses about half the power of the true Demon Soul Banner, enough to suppress this space-time.
If the true Demon Soul Banner of our race were to descend, it could erase this entire expanse of space-time in an instant! It would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut."
The elderly demon who had produced the Demon Soul Banner said smugly.
"Our Demon Race's treasure won't be lacking either,"
the demon who had spoken up earlier stated.
*Rumble…*
A seven-story demonic pagoda shot into the air, erupting with rolling demonic light. A vast sea of demonic mist spread out, shaking the entire Canghuang Realm.
This seven-story pagoda continuously expanded, in the blink of an eye becoming immeasurably huge. It stood towering and majestic within the starry sky. Countless demonic runes whistled out from the pagoda like vast schools of deep-sea fish.
"It appears this should be the legendary replica of the Myriad Demon Tower, correct?"
An elderly demon looked at the pagoda, his expression slightly grave, and asked.
The Myriad Demon Tower was a fearsome and renowned treasure of the Demon Race that struck fear into countless factions and beings, ranking among the race's foundational, clan-suppressing treasures!
"Hahaha…
Indeed, a replica of the Myriad Demon Tower!"
The demon who had asked burst into loud laughter.
"Be suppressed!"
Pointing a finger, the seven-story Myriad Demon Tower trembled fiercely before shooting out to crash against the Pink Command Banner in the starry sky.
The elderly demon who had summoned the Demon Soul Banner also pointed. The Demon Soul Banner instantly lunged forward, simultaneously charging towards the Pink Command Banner as well.
A demonic treasure and a demonic treasure launching a combined assault on the Pink Command Banner. In an instant, demonic energy overwhelmed the heavens, and demonic light dazzled the eyes. The entire starry space erupted into turmoil due to the power of these two treasures. Infinite torrents of energy and laws surged madly, like raging tides, crashing towards the Pink Command Banner.
"Daring to provoke the decree of the Princess! You have truly lost your patience for living!"
The six elders beside Long Yingying were all furious. One of them shouted and pointed.
*BOOM!*
The Pink Command Banner thundered forward, simultaneously smashing violently into both the Demon Soul Banner and the Myriad Demon Tower.
The scene of the three treasures colliding was simply terrifying. At the moment of impact, infinite amounts of energy and light violently erupted from the collision's epicenter. Space, time, and even sound itself seemed to be annihilated at that instant, plunging everything into a deathly silence.
All beings in the vicinity, including top-level experts like the Dark Ancestor, all shifted their expressions slightly, simultaneously retreating and creating distance to avoid being caught in the shockwave.
After the collision, the Demon Soul Banner and the Myriad Demon Tower both recoiled by half a step.
"Impossible!"
Witnessing this, all the Demon and Demon members present couldn't believe their eyes.
After all, though the Demon Soul Banner and Myriad Demon Tower before them were merely replicas, they still possessed at least half the power of the originals. Yet now, they had actually been forced back by that Pink Command Banner.
Moreover, this happened when the demonic and demonic treasures had attacked together, yet they still ended up being at a disadvantage.
"This is bad. These two treasures are too powerful. The opposing side also has so many experts. We can't handle this. Be prepared to retreat."
Seeing that the Princess's Decree only held a slight edge, the six elders around Long Yingying understood the situation had taken a bad turn. They immediately began discussing via spiritual transmission.
"Let these two treasures pin down that banner. We'll make our move now."
An elderly demon spoke gravely, then stepped forward, advancing towards Long Yingying and the others, ready to strike.
"Prepare to take Miss Long and get away by force!"
The six elders around Long Yingying exchanged glances and made a decision.
They did so because the opposing side simply had too many powerful experts. Once a fight broke out, their six-strong group might be able to protect themselves, but they likely wouldn't be able to guarantee Long Yingying's safety.
As for Du Fan, Dugu Huan, and Lü Dandan, they did not intend to protect them either, because their duty was to protect Long Yingying alone.
At the very same moment, Ye Yunfei had already arrived outside the Canghuang Realm. As his Soul Power swept within and perceived everything happening inside the realm in an instant, fury blazed within him, and his killing intent skyrocketed.
