After slaughtering all the members of the Demonic Tribe, Hu Miao and the others began searching the Demon Realm everywhere, gathering its wealth. The Demon Realm was also a very ancient faction within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Over the long ages, the amount of wealth they had accumulated was staggering. Now, all this wealth would fall into the hands of Ye Yunfei and his companions.
"Master, robbing the vanquished truly is one of the most profitable enterprises!"
Hu Miao's harvest was bountiful, and she couldn't help but sigh emotionally to Ye Yunfei.
Soon after, Ye Yunfei left the Demon Realm with Hu Miao and the others.
The Demon Realm had been wiped out!
This news quickly spread throughout the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, causing a sensation.
Ye Yunfei's successive destructions of the Dark Faction and the Demon Realm had set this expanse of spacetime abuzz. Countless living beings wildly discussed the downfall of these two major powers.
"Both the Dark Faction and the Demon Realm had crossed Ye Yunfei before. Moreover, these two major forces were nothing but tyrannical bullies within our part of the void. Which of our forces haven't suffered under their oppression? Seeing Ye Yunfei eradicate them is immensely satisfying!" someone gloated.
"Do you think Ye Yunfei, carried away by bloodlust, might harm innocents and turn on our innocent factions as well? Could he be planning to rule this spacetime through bloody means?" others expressed worry.
In short, countless factions, countless worlds across this spacetime were now watching Ye Yunfei's every move. Some of the stronger forces even dispatched spies to secretly trail him.
Ye Yunfei, of course, knew many beings were following him and understood their reasons, but he simply paid them no mind. With his current strength, Ye Yunfei had no interest in bothering with factions of average power, as long as they didn't provoke him.
"Pass the order: from this moment forth, no member of our faction is to provoke Ye Yunfei, nor any factions, worlds, or beings closely related to him. Anyone who disobeys will be executed immediately!"
The leadership of the vast majority of factions and worlds in this part of the spacetime issued the same command.
Everyone understood clearly: from now on, in this stretch of spacetime, whoever dared provoke Ye Yunfei courted destruction!
"I heard Ye Yunfei is heading towards the Demon Realm. Could it be he intends to move against the Demon Race too!"
Suddenly, another piece of news about Ye Yunfei began to spread rapidly through the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
At this time, Ye Yunfei had already arrived before the entrance to the Demon Realm. His hands clasped behind his back, his expression indifferent, he surveyed the demonic qi-saturated Devil Realm before him with a calm gaze.
Hu Miao, Dugu Huan, Da Bing, and the others stood behind Ye Yunfei, one and all rubbing their hands in eager anticipation.
However, what puzzled Ye Yunfei was that the entrance to the Demon Realm had no guards whatsoever, as if it was completely undefended.
Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power perception into the Demon Realm and discovered there were no living beings left inside. All members of the Demon Race had vanished. The Demon Realm had become an empty, desolate world.
"It seems the Demon Race has fled," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Master, the Demon Race must have received word that you were coming to deal with them, so they escaped ahead of time. These devils are far too slippery!" Hu Miao spoke up, her tone tinged with annoyance.
"Let's go in and look," Ye Yunfei said, leading the way into the Demon Realm.
Looking around, this world had indeed become an empty, hollow place. Not a trace remained of the demons who once lived here.
"How strange. Where did this mass exodus of demons go? How could such a large-scale collective escape evade our senses? As long as they appeared in the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, we should have sensed them immediately," Hu Miao wondered aloud.
"How can you be so dense? Since the Demon Realm had a long-range Teleportation Altar, it's highly likely the Demon Realm has one too. They must have teleported out of this world using it. Furthermore, it's possible those demons have already left our spacetime for other spacetimes beyond," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkwerm retorted with a sneer upon hearing Hu Miao's words.
"Yes, the Demon Realm does indeed possess a long-range Teleportation Altar," Ye Yunfei nodded. Then, activating his Great Space Movement Skill, he instantly arrived deep within the Demon Realm, at a vast, demonic qi-billowing plaza. In the center of this plaza stood an evidently ancient Teleportation Altar.
Hu Miao and the others also followed Ye Yunfei onto this plaza.
"Be careful!"
At that moment, Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkwerm shouted in unison. Ye Yunfei's expression also changed slightly, realizing something was amiss.
Boom…
The plaza they stood on suddenly trembled violently, erupting with overwhelming demonic energy and demonic laws. In the sky above the plaza, chains condensed from demonic qi began to materialize in endless streams, densely packed, instantly sealing off the entire plaza. Ye Yunfei then realized that this plaza was actually a space inside a devil tower!
It must be said, this devil tower was truly formidable. It could actually deceive the senses of Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkwerm, allowing Ye Yunfei and his group to enter its interior completely unaware.
"Not good, Master! It seems we are trapped inside a devil tower!" Hu Miao cried out in alarm.
"Do not fear. A mere devil tower cannot hold us!" Ye Yunfei reassured her.
Hehehe…
Outside the devil tower, maniacal laughter suddenly rang out. Then, five tall, imposing demon experts appeared surrounding the tower.
"Ye Yunfei! You never imagined, did you, that our Demon Race possesses a treasure of such power? Now, you cannot escape even if you grew wings!
To tell you the truth, this devil tower is named the Purple Devil Furnace. It is a treasure used by a Demon Deity from the ancient era of our Demon Race to refine devil pills! Although this Purple Devil Furnace is but a replica, it has already attained a fraction of the true item's power. It is more than sufficient to deal with you!
Ye Yunfei, we shall now activate this Purple Devil Furnace and refine you!"
One demon expert declared triumphantly.
"Unless you hand over that Yin Seed immediately, we might consider letting you go this once," the demon expert added.
Clearly, these demon experts still coveted the Yin Seed.
"You wish for too much. That Yin Seed has already been refined by me. There is no longer any Yin Seed," Ye Yunfei replied calmly.
"In that case, we shall refine you.
Even though you've refined that Yin Seed, its essence must still be preserved within your body. By refining you, we will have the same chance to obtain the Yin Seed's essence!
Hahaha…
Ye Yunfei, your time of death has arrived!"
Another demon expert roared with laughter.
