"You're already an Intermediate Golden Immortal? Not bad talent. No wonder you were able to ruin our Dark Faction's plans in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
However, kid, meeting us today means your doom has arrived."
One of the Dark Faction's Primary Heavenly Immortals sensed Ye Yunfei's immortal force realm and felt a hint of surprise.
Back when the Dark Faction suffered a major defeat at Ye Yunfei's hands and fled the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, Ye Yunfei was merely an Earth Immortal. So, the information these Dark Faction members had received earlier stated Ye Yunfei was only an Earth Immortal.
"So what if he's a Golden Immortal? He's still an ant. Just kill him directly," another Primary Heavenly Immortal said coldly, his expression filled with disdain, not placing Ye Yunfei in his eyes at all.
"Three lords, he's just a mere Intermediate Golden Immortal. Allow me to slay him!"
At this moment, a member of the Dark Faction group with the strength of a Perfected Golden Immortal stepped forward and spoke.
The three Heavenly Immortals of the Dark Faction remained silent.
That Perfected Golden Immortal strode towards Ye Yunfei with large steps. Even before arriving, he released a vast, torrential surge of Dark Energy, like a dark ocean flooding towards Ye Yunfei's position.
"Three Heavenly Immortals. Once a fight breaks out, they'll be a bit difficult to handle," Ye Yunfei thought to himself, watching the three Heavenly Immortals.
Dealing with a single Primary Heavenly Immortal alone didn't scare Ye Yunfei, but simultaneously facing three Heavenly Immortals made him aware that he might not be able to cope, especially with one being an Intermediate Heavenly Immortal.
"Don't fight them head-on. Just enter the world ahead directly.
These Dark Faction fellows likely don't know yet that special Time Laws exist within that world. You go in first to lay an ambush, wait for them to enter, and then launch a surprise attack to catch them off guard," the Remnant Soul suddenly sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Also, take out all the treasures on your person that contain Time Energy and Laws and start refining and absorbing them now.
Once inside that world, you can move around while simultaneously refining and absorbing the treasures containing Time Energy and Laws. To a certain extent, this can resist the Time Laws within," the Remnant Soul added.
"Alright.
They have three Heavenly Immortals. There's no need for me to get entangled. I'll do as you suggest, Senior," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
By now, that Dark Faction Perfected Golden Immortal had already approached Ye Yunfei, a fierce sneer on his face, ready to strike.
Boom…
Before that Perfected Golden Immortal could make his move, Ye Yunfei struck first. He swung his sword, and a thick beam of sword light howled forth with startling momentum, like a tsunami reaching the heavens.
With a *crack* sound, that Dark Faction Perfected Golden Immortal's body was instantly cleaved apart on the spot, his Soul Body also shredded, directly annihilated.
After unleashing that single sword strike, Ye Yunfei turned and fled, moving with extreme speed, instantly charging into the world ahead.
Roar…
The Dark Faction members were stunned for a moment, unable to believe that Ye Yunfei had actually slain that Perfected Golden Immortal with one sword strike. After regaining their senses, they all roared with fury.
"Kid, you can't escape!"
The three Dark Faction Heavenly Immortals were furious, their roars shaking the heavens as they surged forward, chasing after Ye Yunfei, almost simultaneously pursuing him into that world.
The other Dark Faction members also followed behind, entering that world one after another.
"Kid, you can't escape!"
Upon charging into the world, the three Heavenly Immortals immediately spotted Ye Yunfei, roaring as they chased after him.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei held a large number of treasures containing Time Energy and Laws in each hand, rapidly refining and absorbing them.
With the support of the Time Energy and Laws from these treasures, Ye Yunfei discovered that the influence he suffered within this world had indeed become significantly smaller.
Not only the three Dark Faction Heavenly Immortals but all the other Dark Faction members had also rushed into this world.
Soon, these Dark Faction members discovered the existence of the special Time Laws within this world, and they began to be affected.
"Not good! I'm growing younger, and my realm and strength are also dropping!"
"Everything in this world seems to be rapidly regressing!"
"A major disaster! I was originally a High-level Golden Immortal. How did I suddenly drop to an Intermediate Golden Immortal?!"
...
The Dark Faction members cried out in astonishment one after another.
Including the three Heavenly Immortals, their faces also paled in shock.
Although their strength was formidable, suddenly encountering such a bizarre situation left them at a complete loss for how to respond.
After all, their realms and strength were painstakingly cultivated through their years of hard work. Now, their realms were rapidly falling, and their strength was rapidly declining. This was an utterly terrifying thing.
"It's over. Are the realm and strength I've worked so hard to obtain over these years going to lose a huge chunk like this? I refuse to accept this!"
Some of the Dark Faction Golden Immortals unwillingly shrieked in alarm.
These Dark Faction members did not know that the realm and strength they lost within this world were only temporary. As long as they left this place and rested for a period outside, they could recover.
"Quickly escape! This world is too bizarre. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid all my realm and strength will be lost!"
Most of the Dark Faction members were thoroughly terrified, turning and fleeing one after another.
Ye Yunfei was well-prepared. His figure flashed, darting like a ghost in front of these panicked Dark Faction members, immediately making his move.
Ye Yunfei activated Soul Sword and the Great Art of Myriad Swords Returning to One, attacking the Dark Faction members.
Aah...
The Dark Faction members were in a state of panic and shock, utterly unprepared to react. A series of miserable screams rang out as Dark Faction members were swiftly slain by Ye Yunfei.
In merely a few breaths of time, at least one-third of this batch of Dark Faction members were killed by Ye Yunfei.
Even under normal circumstances, these ordinary-strength Dark Faction members were no match for Ye Yunfei. Now, in this panicked state with their sole thought being escape, they were even more vulnerable, resulting in a large group being instantly slaughtered by Ye Yunfei.
Roar…
The three Heavenly Immortals were utilizing their own Time Energy and Laws to resist the influence of the special Time Laws of this world upon them. They hadn't foreseen that Ye Yunfei would suddenly launch an attack on their forces and, caught off-guard, were utterly unable to prevent it. Seeing their own forces suffer heavy casualties in an instant, all three simultaneously roared with fury, their killing intent soaring to the heavens.
"Kid! In this world, everyone's realm and strength are rapidly falling. In such a situation, you actually dare to attack!" a Primary Heavenly Immortal roared angrily.
"Heh heh, so what if they're falling? It's worth it if I can drag you all down with me," Ye Yunfei sneered in reply.
While speaking, Ye Yunfei's figure flashed again, charging towards the remaining Dark Faction members.
Aah...
Ye Yunfei's attacks were swift and ruthless. In a flash, he slaughtered another portion of the Dark Faction members.
The remaining Dark Faction members grew even more frightened.
Their realms and strength were continuously dropping, and now they were subjected to Ye Yunfei's relentless attacks. This added insult to injury, causing heavy casualties in a short time.
"Kid, you're seeking death!"
The three Dark Faction Heavenly Immortals were furious to the extreme, simultaneously charging towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei was well-prepared, activating his movement technique and instantly fleeing into the distance.
Because Ye Yunfei had been refining various treasures containing Time Energy and Laws since entering this world, although his realm and strength had been continuously dropping, it wasn't too severe for the moment.
Furthermore, that Remnant Soul was continuously guiding Ye Yunfei on how to utilize his own Time Energy and Laws to resist the bizarre Time Laws of this world.
"Let's go out first. This world has extremely bizarre Time Laws. While we're here, our realms and strength are constantly dropping. This can't continue.
Have everyone go outside and wait for that kid surnamed Ye there. I don't believe he dares to stay long in this bizarre world," a Primary Heavenly Immortal sent a voice transmission to the other two Heavenly Immortals.
"Alright, let's go out first. Even my realm and strength are dropping. This world is truly too bizarre.
Tell everyone to leave immediately," the Intermediate Heavenly Immortal nodded.
Although the three Dark Faction Heavenly Immortals wished they could kill Ye Yunfei on the spot, their realms and strength were affected by the bizarre Time Laws of this world, continuously dropping. They were beginning to panic.
One must know that their realms and strength were obtained through countless years of arduous cultivation. Now they were rapidly losing them. This was unacceptable, making them only want to quickly leave this bizarre world.
"Surnamed Ye! We'll be waiting for you outside!"
The three Dark Faction Heavenly Immortals glared fiercely at Ye Yunfei, then led the Dark Faction forces in a rapid escape from this world.
"Alright, never mind those fellows. Focus on collecting the treasures within this world.
To my knowledge, there are many immortal herbs, crystal stones, some abandoned buildings that may hold valuable pills, and other treasures and artifacts related to time. First, gather all these treasures. It will be an immense harvest," the Remnant Soul said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright," Ye Yunfei nodded.
His figure flashed, charging towards the distance where many immortal herbs grew.
These immortal herbs were rare and precious varieties, extremely scarce in the outside world, all containing rich Time Energy and Laws.
Then Ye Yunfei began harvesting these immortal herbs.
As for Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and the others, their strength and time cultivation were inferior to Ye Yunfei's, so they dared not come out to move around in this world.
According to that Remnant Soul, those with weaker strength and lower time cultivation would suffer greater harm within this world.
"Senior, my realm and strength are dropping faster and faster. I'm now a Initial Golden Immortal, and my strength is only about eighty percent of what it originally was."
Ye Yunfei suddenly felt his realm had dropped to Initial Golden Immortal and couldn't help feeling a bit alarmed.
"No need to worry. The realm and strength lost within this world are only temporary. They will recover after you leave.
Moreover, the environment here might even benefit your Time Energy and Laws," the Remnant Soul said.
"Oh? The environment here could benefit my Time Energy and Laws?" Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
"Yes.
Just do as I say. Would I harm you?" the Remnant Soul replied.
"Fine then.
Senior, I'll do as you say," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Thus, Ye Yunfei stopped worrying about his continuously dropping realm and strength, constantly harvesting the numerous immortal herbs within this world.
After a while, Ye Yunfei had harvested a large batch of immortal herbs.
"Alright, now refine and absorb these immortal herbs while simultaneously exploring deeper into this world," the Remnant Soul said.
"Explore deeper into this world?
Senior, didn't you say before that this world's core region is extremely dangerous? Even Heavenly Immortals wouldn't be able to leave if they entered?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"I didn't tell you to enter the core region. What are you afraid of?
I once explored this world in the past and have some understanding of it.
Just do as I say," the Remnant Soul said.
"Alright then," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Thus, following the Remnant Soul's guidance, Ye Yunfei continued deeper into this world.
As Ye Yunfei advanced, he refined and absorbed the immortal herbs he had just harvested. He discovered that the Time Energy and Laws contained within these herbs indeed helped to resist the bizarre Time Laws of this world to a certain extent.
Ye Yunfei's realm barely remained at Initial Golden Immortal, actually ceasing to drop further.
"See? The immortal herbs from this world are useful.
As long as you continuously refine and absorb treasures obtained within this world that contain Time Energy and Laws, you can resist the bizarre Time Laws within.
Haven't you heard the saying, 'Where venomous creatures dwell, within seven steps lies its antidote'? That's the same principle," the Remnant Soul asked with a chuckle.
"Senior, what you say makes sense," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Ahead further lies a vast mountainous area, buried within it are many Time Energy crystals. Those Time Crystals are of quite good quality. Go try your luck there.
However, be careful. Within this mountainous area dwells a bizarre type of beast called the Earth Desolate Beast. They are adept in Time Energy and Laws, possess considerable combat power, and are numerous. Once they discover you, they will attack en masse."
A while later, the Remnant Soul suddenly spoke to Ye Yunfei.
Ahead indeed appeared a vast expanse of mountainous terrain. Looking around, primitive forests and rugged desolation stretched everywhere.
"Earth Desolate Beast?"
This was Ye Yunfei's first time hearing of such a peculiar beast.
"Yes. I once came here in the past and obtained quite a few Time Energy crystals within these mountains.
However, those Earth Desolate Beasts aren't weak. You need to be careful, keep a low profile. It would be best if they don't discover you.
Back then, our group didn't know there were Earth Desolate Beasts in these mountains. We all swaggered in, making a huge commotion, which quickly alerted the Earth Desolate Beasts, resulting in us suffering fierce attacks.
When you enter later, be cautious and low-key. It's best to conceal your traces and sneak in quietly. Try to gather as many Time Energy Crystals as possible with the greatest speed before those Earth Desolate Beasts find you."
The Remnant Soul said.
