Rumble...
That day, as Ye Yunfei was chatting with his parents and Xiao Fei, suddenly the entire Small World trembled violently. Moreover, faintly, terrifying energy seeped into the Small World, causing all living beings within it to feel a fear that stemmed from the depths of their souls.
"What happened?
Has a powerful enemy invaded the Mountain Hamlet?
Did the major factions from outside that I offended not long ago send experts here to seek revenge?"
Ye Yunfei was startled.
"Everyone, stay within this Small World. Do not go outside under any circumstances."
Ye Yunfei soared into the air, speaking clearly, then activated his movement technique and instantly rushed out of the Small World, arriving outside in the Mountain Hamlet, readying himself for combat.
However, when Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy enveloped the entire Mountain Hamlet and stretched outward to sense beyond it, he found nothing unusual. No powerful living beings had arrived outside the hamlet, and there was no invasion by strong enemies.
Rumble...
Faintly, an incredibly terrifying energy pressure slowly permeated this world.
"This energy seems to be coming from outside!"
It dawned on Ye Yunfei; he sensed that this horrifying energy likely originated from the outside world, not from the world in which the Mountain Hamlet existed.
"Could something have happened in the Tianpo Realm?
Has some terrifyingly powerful expert arrived?"
Ye Yunfei pondered silently in his heart.
Then Ye Yunfei saw Mr. Liu standing at the entrance to the village, gazing outward. A large group of the hamlet's residents followed behind Mr. Liu, each wearing somewhat grim expressions.
"Mr. Liu, what exactly has happened?" Ye Yunfei asked as he arrived by his side.
"I suspect that experts from the outside world have entered the Colorless Abyss.
Most likely, they wish to enter and seek out Deity-tier fortunes."
Mr. Liu looked toward the distant space-time as he spoke slowly.
Experts from the outside world had entered the Colorless Abyss?
Ye Yunfei was shocked upon hearing Mr. Liu's words. What kind of experts could unleash energy pressure so powerful that it could travel from the Colorless Abyss all the way to this world within the Tianpo Realm?
I'm afraid not even Heavenly Immortal-level experts could unleash such terrifying energy, could they?
Ye Yunfei was deeply astonished.
"Stay here and do not wander about. Many experts from the outside world have likely entered the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds by now. They should all be here for the Colorless Abyss. I'm going to take a look."
Mr. Liu turned and addressed the group.
The villagers all nodded in response.
"Young Master Ye, it would be best for you to stay here as much as possible during this period as well.
With so many experts entering the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, this stretch of space-time is becoming unsettled once again."
Mr. Liu looked at Ye Yunfei.
"I understand, Mr. Liu," Ye Yunfei replied with a nod.
Mr. Liu turned, soared into the air, and vanished in an instant.
Ye Yunfei understood that Mr. Liu was likely heading to the Colorless Abyss.
So many experts from the outside world were entering the Colorless Abyss. Needless to ask, their goal was definitely the Deity-tier fortunes within.
"Alright, everyone, please return. Do as Mr. Liu instructed: stay here obediently and do not venture out into the outside world."
The village chief spoke clearly, then led everyone back into the village.
Ye Yunfei returned to the Small World and briefly explained the situation outside to everyone.
Hearing that experts from outside had come to enter the Colorless Abyss, everyone inside the Small World breathed a sigh of relief. After all, those experts were entering to seek Deity-level opportunities, which likely had little to do with ordinary living beings.
"Hun Lao, I think I want to enter the Colorless Abyss and take a look," Ye Yunfei suddenly transmitted via Sound Transmission to Hun Lao.
"You want to go in too?
But the experts who have arrived this time are at least at the Heavenly Immortal level. I even suspect there may be experts even more terrifying than Heavenly Immortals present. With your current strength, joining this kind of bustling scene is probably not wise.
If you accidentally provoke any of those powerful experts, it's sure to invite a huge amount of trouble."
After hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Hun Lao thought for a moment before replying via Sound Transmission.
"The fact that these outside experts are suddenly trying to enter the Colorless Abyss makes me suspect that there must be some treasure emerging there, or a secret realm awakening, which is attracting them.
If I keep a low profile and sneak in secretly, I might just be lucky enough to gain something.
I'll do my best not to provoke those outside experts.
I'll only fight if I can win; I'm not stupid enough to try and fight to the death with someone I can't defeat."
After thinking it over, Ye Yunfei transmitted.
"It's up to you. If you dare to go, then I'm not afraid either. I am the Chaos World Tree, and with the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm alongside me, ordinary spatial restraints cannot trap us.
If we encounter danger, we'll just have to find a way to slip away."
Hun Lao pondered for a moment after hearing Ye Yunfei's words, then nodded in agreement.
Ye Yunfei also used Sound Transmission to inform the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm about the matter.
"You want to join the excitement in the Colorless Abyss? Good, I'd like to go have a look too. I also suspect there might be some treasure appearing inside, attracting all those outside experts!
As for those experts, we just won't provoke them."
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately became interested and eager.
"Well then, since that's the case, let's enter the Colorless Abyss and take a look."
The three—Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm—reached an immediate agreement after discussing the matter.
Having decided, Ye Yunfei quietly departed.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei returned to the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, heading toward the Colorless Abyss.
Rumble...
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei sensed a majestic pressure from behind shaking the entire stretch of space-time. Then, he perceived hundreds of strange-looking savage beasts surging forth. Sitting atop each beast was a living being radiating powerful auras.
As this contingent appeared, a terrifying murderous intent instantly swept through the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, causing countless living beings to tremble.
"Heavenly Immortal experts!
And more than one!"
Witnessing this scene, Ye Yunfei was inwardly shocked. He immediately used all means at his disposal to conceal his aura, for he had spotted several experts at the Heavenly Immortal level.
"What level is that old man?"
Then, Ye Yunfei spotted a mysterious old man amidst this procession. Although not a trace of energy fluctuation leaked from his entire body, Ye Yunfei could tell at a glance that this old man was undoubtedly the most powerful figure in the group.
"Could his strength surpass that of a Heavenly Immortal?"
Ye Yunfei was inwardly alarmed.
Rumble...
This group of powerful beings surged forward through the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, causing the space-time around them to begin trembling. Their presence was truly terrifying.
Ye Yunfei concealed his aura tightly and avoided the procession.
Recently, Ye Yunfei had spent considerable time evading lightning tribulations to cultivate the Nine-Nine Return to Truth Immortal technique. A core part of evading the lightning tribulation was meticulously hiding his own aura so that the tribulation could not detect him.
Thus, Ye Yunfei was now capable of perfectly concealing his aura.
Of course, it was also possible those experts had detected Ye Yunfei, but his realm was simply too low for them to take notice.
"Those guys are very strong. From now on, you really must keep a low profile. Otherwise, if a single Heavenly Immortal expert stepped forward, you might not be able to handle it," Hun Lao transmitted after perceiving the formidable energy aura of that procession, his voice tinged with shock.
"Don't worry, Hun Lao. I'll be careful. I'm not someone who doesn't know my limits. If I encounter an expert I can't handle, I definitely won't provoke them," Ye Yunfei replied.
Just at that moment, a clear, piercing cry came from the distant Chaotic Void. Ye Yunfei saw a mighty-looking strange bird surging forward—it resembled a divine bird.
This large bird's feathers were incredibly dazzling, shimmering with brilliant radiance. Its feathers came in five different colors, appearing truly splendid.
This bird was actually pulling a resplendent, opulent carriage, flying swiftly through the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds toward the direction of the Colorless Abyss.
The energy pressure released by this large bird was extremely powerful, causing space to quake and tremble wherever it passed.
"That seems like the legendary Heavenly Phoenix Bird!
It's said that the bodies of Heavenly Phoenix Birds contain the true bloodline of the divine phoenix!
There's also a legend that the Heavenly Phoenix Bird is actually a descendant of the divine phoenix. However, due to their bloodline becoming increasingly diluted and unable to match true phoenixes, they gradually evolved into a new race!
Even so, the Heavenly Phoenix Birds remain a powerful race across all realms!"
Hun Lao suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Hun Lao's body contained some of the racial memories of the Chaos World Tree, so he knew quite a bit about various unusual races.
"A Heavenly Phoenix Bird is actually willing to pull a carriage for someone else. That means the person inside that carriage is surely formidable!
They must be someone you can't afford to provoke right now. Keep a low profile!" Hun Lao transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"That's reasonable."
Ye Yunfei nodded, doing his best to rein in his aura and conceal his form.
Only after that Heavenly Phoenix Bird pulled the dazzling carriage past did Ye Yunfei reveal himself and continue toward the Colorless Abyss.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei heard terrifying beast roars coming from the Chaotic Void behind him in the distance, causing the boundless void to shudder and tremble.
A vast and mighty aura of energy pressure surged forth like an ocean.
"Another expert approaches!" Hun Lao immediately warned Ye Yunfei.
"I never expected so many experts to come to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!
I hope they won't destroy the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Otherwise, our strength here would be utterly unable to resist them!
We'd probably be left at their mercy, helpless!"
Feeling the terrifying energy rolling in from behind, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown and speak softly.
"Compared to these experts, I am nothing. In truth, I am still very weak!"
This feeling suddenly arose within Ye Yunfei.
Not long ago, Ye Yunfei had become the strongest top-tier existence within this stretch of space-time. Not only were there no opponents for him within this region, but even experts who came from the outside world could not match him—some were killed, some grievously injured, others driven away.
This had given Ye Yunfei a somewhat positive view of himself, secretly thinking himself capable of being a power that could dominate an area.
But now, encountering these terrifying experts all at once, Ye Yunfei realized just how weak he still was!
Ye Yunfei understood clearly in his heart that if these experts now entering the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were to attack this realm, he would definitely be unable to protect this stretch of space-time.
This feeling brought a sense of powerlessness to Ye Yunfei's heart.
"No!
I must train even harder, make myself even stronger! Only then can I have a chance to protect the worlds and the people I care about!"
Ye Yunfei clenched his fists, silently swearing within. A feeling of urgency to improve his strength arose within him.
Just then, from the distant Chaotic Void, a large, ferocious beast approached, pulling a golden palace.
"That palace is probably a spatial treasure!" Hun Lao transmitted.
By now, that large beast pulling the golden palace had reached the space Ye Yunfei occupied.
An overwhelmingly terrifying energy swept across the Chaotic Void, leaving Ye Yunfei deeply astonished.
Ye Yunfei hastily gathered his aura and hid his form.
Soon, the large beast pulling the palace disappeared into the distant Chaotic Void.
Ye Yunfei continued on toward the Colorless Abyss.
Along the way, he encountered several more groups of experts. Ye Yunfei proactively avoided them all, unwilling to make contact with any of those experts from outside.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei finally reached the Colorless Abyss.
Before him was a vast, dark red sea, floating right there within the Chaotic Void.
The entrance to the Colorless Abyss lay beneath these ocean waters.
The experts he had encountered earlier were nowhere in sight; presumably, they had all already entered the Colorless Abyss.
Ye Yunfei walked into the dark red sea before him, descending toward the seabed. Before long, he entered the Colorless Abyss itself.
Sure enough, once inside the Colorless Abyss, Ye Yunfei sensed one powerful energy aura after another—the auras of the experts he had just encountered.
Originally, the Colorless Abyss was a static space without sound, fluctuations, energy, or laws. But now, the Colorless Abyss was filled with surging energy everywhere, thoroughly livened up.
That was because the experts who had entered the Colorless Abyss released their energy and laws without any restraint, causing the spatial fabric here to sway and tremble.
Ye Yunfei also saw those experts searching around in various directions within the abyss, entering and exiting one world after another.
These experts possessed terrifying strength and were exceedingly overbearing. Whenever they encountered any obstacles in their path, they would simply blast them apart with a single palm strike. There were many dangerous secret realms within the Colorless Abyss, yet these experts charged into them without hesitation or fear.
From within several of those secret realms came sounds of intense battle. It was clear the experts from outside who had barged in were clashing with the inhabitants inside.
Keeping an extremely low profile, Ye Yunfei watched secretly from afar, while also trying to locate where Mr. Liu might be.
However, ever since entering, Ye Yunfei had not yet sensed even a trace of Mr. Liu's aura.
