Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei still employed his Soul Sword, attacking the five Demon Race experts with astonishing speed.
"What formidable Soul Force Energy!"
Sensing the power contained within the Soul Sword, all five Demon Race experts secretly shuddered.
Boom! Rumble rumble…
The five Demon Race experts simultaneously unleashed their Soul Power, like five erupting volcanoes billowing upwards, shaking this expanse of the Chaotic Void until it swayed and wobbled.
"The Nine-Nine Return to Truth Immortal truly is powerful!"
Ye Yunfei felt the energy released by these five Demon Race experts and couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Their combat strength was far superior to Liu Rulong's.
While Liu Rulong had been cultivating the Nine-Nine Return to Truth Immortal path, he hadn't succeeded. The five Demon Race experts before him, however, were already at the Nine-Nine Return to Truth Immortal level. Their every movement, even the Soul Force Energy they emitted, carried an incredibly profound aura. It faintly seemed to transcend the energy and laws of this space, detached and beyond the confines of this heaven and earth.
"Young master Liu was right. After successfully cultivating the Nine-Nine Return to Truth Immortal, one breaks free from the energy and laws of this particular time and space to a certain degree, no longer restricted by this specific dimensional framework."
As Ye Yunfei sensed the energy aura released by the five demons, he remembered the words of Young Master Liu.
"Be careful, everyone! This brat's Soul Force Energy is formidable, and that long sword is a highly advanced soul-type magic treasure!"
The five Demon Race experts, under attack from the Soul Sword, were all releasing their full Soul Force Energy and had activated a large batch of soul-type artifacts to tightly protect their Soul Bodies. However, the Soul Sword's offensive was too sharp and ferocious. Like continuous flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, it launched swift attacks against the five demons' Soul Bodies. The five experts appeared somewhat discomfited.
Thankfully, they were Nine-Nine Return to Truth Immortals after all. The quality of their Soul Bodies and the strength of their Soul Power were quite excellent. They didn't end up like Liu Rulong, who was severely wounded by the Soul Sword in a short time, and could still manage to cope.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, one of the Demon Race experts teleported directly before Ye Yunfei. Clutching a sinister-looking demon blade in his hand, he slashed it towards Ye Yunfei.
As his blade struck out, this part of the Chaotic Void instantly erupted into chaos. Around Ye Yunfei's body, thousands upon thousands of blade shadows appeared, layer upon layer like a vast, boundless ocean, overwhelming and submerging him.
Ye Yunfei immediately felt immense pressure.
He punched out, his physical strength pouring forth in great torrents, converging on his fist.
Clang! Sparks flew.
Ye Yunfei discovered a shallow cut had appeared on his fist, with faint traces of blood seeping out.
"Your physical body is actually so tough."
That Demon Race expert was dumbfounded to see his slash had only managed to carve a shallow mark on Ye Yunfei's fist.
He was confident that his single slash could have instantly killed a dozen or more ordinary Golden Immortal experts!
Clang! Clang…
Ye Yunfei brandished his fists and took the initiative to attack, punching repeatedly towards the Demon Race expert.
The demon expert waved his demon blade and engaged Ye Yunfei in fierce combat.
"Let's attack together!"
The other four demon experts also joined the fight, each unleashing their strongest techniques and martial skills to besiege Ye Yunfei.
Surrounded by five Nine-Nine Return to Truth Immortals, Ye Yunfei began to look somewhat discomfited.
"The Nine-Nine Return to Truth Immortal truly is powerful!" Ye Yunfei inwardly exclaimed with shock.
During the battle, Ye Yunfei constantly employed his Soul Sword, relentlessly attacking the five demons' Soul Bodies. The five demon experts had to fight Ye Yunfei while also resisting the Soul Sword's attacks. Soon, they also began to appear somewhat overwhelmed. Thus, both sides seemed somewhat ragged.
"How is this possible?!
Just a mere Earthly Immortal can withstand the joint assault from the five of us, and even fight us to a standstill?!"
The five demon experts were all filled with resentment.
They were, after all, Nine-Nine Return to Truth Immortals at the Golden Immortal level! Unless encountering a Heavenly Immortal level expert, they believed they should have been invincible.
"These five guys are pretty strong, and with them teaming up, it's a bit difficult for you to defeat them.
Here's what we'll do. I will now teach you an advanced space-time movement technique. Start cultivating it immediately. If you succeed, it will definitely enhance your overall power."
At that moment, the Remnant Soul within Ye Yunfei's body suddenly transmitted his voice.
"Cultivate it now?
But, Senior, I am currently fighting these demons. How can I cultivate?"
Ye Yunfei was momentarily stunned.
"Don't worry. Although the space-time movement technique I'm teaching you is quite advanced, the method of cultivation is actually very simple. Once you comprehend its underlying principles, given your current level of spatial energy and time energy, you can essentially execute it without any dedicated training.
To put it plainly, for the technique I'm imparting to you, the most crucial element is comprehension. Once you grasp it thoroughly, it becomes easy. It hardly requires any time to train."
The Remnant Soul said.
"A movement technique like that exists?" Ye Yunfei was somewhat curious.
"Of course. The world is vast and full of wonders. You are merely an Earthly Immortal. There are countless advanced cultivation techniques and martial skills in this world that you have yet to witness."
The Remnant Soul replied.
"You make a valid point, Senior." Ye Yunfei quickly responded.
This Remnant Soul was once a Demigod. The insight and knowledge of a Demigod were naturally profound, so Ye Yunfei was utterly convinced.
Boom…
The next moment, the Remnant Soul channeled a stream of Soul Power information into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
It was indeed an advanced space-time movement technique.
Ye Yunfei immediately used one of his Soul Bodies to meditate and comprehend it.
Boom! Rumble…
Meanwhile, the battle between Ye Yunfei and the five demons raged on intensely. The energy pressure unleashed by their combat spread in all directions like vast, roiling oceans, terrifyingly immense, seeming on the verge of overturning this stretch of Chaotic Void.
About half an hour later.
"How is it?
Have you grasped the Nine-Step Divine Dragon Movement?"
The Remnant Soul asked.
"More or less."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Possessing two Soul Bodies granted Ye Yunfei exceptional comprehension abilities. He had grasped the movement technique imparted by the Remnant Soul in a short time.
"Then quickly execute it and let me see."
The Remnant Soul said.
"Alright."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei took a single step forward. His footfall seemed to contain a certain grand momentum, causing this expanse of Chaotic Void to tremble violently.
What was even more astonishing was that as Ye Yunfei took this step, a faint dragon's tail seemed to materialize behind him, swaying powerfully.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei took a second step, once again causing the Chaotic Void around him to shudder intensely, this time even more violently. The energy and laws in the vicinity surged madly, converging towards Ye Yunfei.
Simultaneously, another section of a dragon's body, covered in formidable scales, appeared behind Ye Yunfei, emanating immense pressure.
The five demons were all startled.
"Why do I feel like this kid has gained control over this Chaotic Void? The energy and laws within this void seem to be starting to revolve around him, ready to be used by him!"
"He seems to be using an incredibly advanced movement technique! This technique possesses a kind of grand momentum!"
…
The five demons were all secretly astonished.
Boom! Rumble…
Next, Ye Yunfei quickly took six more consecutive steps.
He had taken eight steps in total. With each step, another section of the dragon's body materialized behind him.
After the eighth step, a majestic dragon now coiled around Ye Yunfei's back, its scales gleaming and imposing, its draconic might seeming capable of shattering the heavens.
Just as Ye Yunfei took his eighth step, the five demons finally couldn't withstand it anymore. They began retreating repeatedly, their movements becoming labored under the immense pressure they felt.
"Slay them!"
Ye Yunfei let out a great shout and took the ninth step.
Roar…
The gigantic dragon roared and lunged forward.
Boom! Rumble rumble…
This expanse of Chaotic Void utterly erupted, like a pot of boiling water.
Thud! Thud…
Within a few moves, Ye Yunfei punched each of the five demons, one by one, causing their bodies to explode.
"How is this possible?!"
The Soul Bodies of the five Demon Race experts materialized, each face filled with terror.
They couldn't believe Ye Yunfei had been able to shatter their physical bodies.
"Retreat!"
Knowing that continuing the fight would only be disadvantageous, the five Demon Race experts didn't hesitate. They turned simultaneously and fled.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Ye Yunfei gave a soft shout.
Whoosh…
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Sword.
"Ah!" One of the demons let out a miserable scream as his Soul Body was sliced in two by the Soul Sword.
Then, the Soul Sword pulverized that demon's Soul Body into dust.
Whoosh! Whoosh…
Controlling the Soul Sword, Ye Yunfei continued attacking the other four demons.
A moment later, two more demon experts had their Soul Bodies shattered by the Soul Sword, their souls scattering and dispersing.
Two demons managed to escape by chance.
"Senior, the Nine-Step Divine Dragon Movement you taught me is too amazing!"
Ye Yunfei was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course.
This footwork technique contains extremely advanced Space-Time Laws. Once activated, it harnesses the grand momentum of the surrounding Chaotic Void, making it serve me. It's as if I become one with the surrounding time and space, uniting our strength against the enemy. Truly profound.
There are actually quite a few similar movement techniques in this world."
The Remnant Soul stated.
"True. I once cultivated a martial skill called the Heaven-Borrowing Nine Funerary Fists. It shares some similarities with this Nine-Step Divine Dragon Movement, though it is far less advanced, of course."
Ye Yunfei nodded, remembering the Heaven-Borrowing Nine Funerary Fists he had practiced long ago.
"Hmm. Whether basic or advanced, cultivation techniques and martial skills of the same category always share some underlying principles. You can use them as cross-references; you might gain insights."
The Remnant Soul advised.
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Senior." Ye Yunfei quickly nodded in agreement.
"Well, well. Who would have thought this remote stretch of space and time could produce such a monstrously talented youngster? My special trip was not in vain."
Right at that moment, a voice drifted over from a distant part of the void.
Then, a middle-aged man in blue robes strode over, instantly arriving before Ye Yunfei and sizing him up with his gaze.
"You must be Ye Yunfei."
The blue-robed middle-aged man inquired.
"That is correct. I am Ye Yunfei." Ye Yunfei replied evenly.
"I come specifically under the orders of Third Crown Prince of the Heavenly God Hall to recruit you.
Our Third Crown Prince always enjoys recruiting talents and sages, particularly taking a liking to roping in promising young geniuses. After hearing of your exploits, he developed a fondness for talent and thus dispatched me to meet you.
Ye Yunfei, receive the decree!"
The blue-robed man retrieved a yellow-colored Dharma Decree scroll and proclaimed in a commanding voice.
"Receive the decree?"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat flabbergasted.
