"Kid, take this! I want to see how powerful you really are!"
A tall demon warrior charged forward, brandishing a three-pronged steel trident as he roared loudly.
This demon was a Primary Level Heavenly Immortal, but his demonic body was huge, brimming with explosive power that looked utterly terrifying. Demons mostly focused on body cultivation, possessing frightening physical strength.
"I have to fight my way out of this!"
Seeing pursuers blocking him in every other direction, Ye Yunfei gritted his teeth and spoke.
At this moment, Heavenly Immortal experts were blocking every direction. Ye Yunfei knew he had to choose one route to break through.
Every Heavenly Immortal expert was unleashing their energy pressure, trying to suppress Ye Yunfei from a distance.
Raging waves of Heavenly Immortal-level energy surged toward Ye Yunfei like an ocean.
However, facing so many Heavenly Immortal experts, far from being afraid, Ye Yunfei felt his fighting spirit boil over.
"Good! I'll test just how strong this Heavenly Immortal really is!"
Ye Yunfei stared at the demon ahead and shouted solemnly.
Rumble...
In an instant, Ye Yunfei released all his energy—his physical strength, Immortal Force energy, various types of Law power, along with Soul Force energy and mind power. All these energies, combined with various profound techniques and secret arts, blasted toward the tall demon.
The attack leading the charge was a thick blade light that tore through space, whistling as it slashed forward.
"How is this kid so fierce!"
The demon, who had been looking down condescendingly with menacing momentum, now felt Ye Yunfei's ferocious attack and couldn't help but recoil in shock.
He discovered that the physical strength Ye Yunfei displayed seemed even greater than his own!
Boom... Boom...
In desperation, the demon also attacked with full force, clashing with Ye Yunfei.
He possessed the strength of a Primary Level Heavenly Immortal, so his combat prowess was naturally decent. However, he found he couldn't gain any advantage against this human youth before him.
Both sides attacked with all their might, striking fast against fast. In less than a single breath, they had exchanged dozens of moves.
Boom boom boom...
Ye Yunfei suddenly threw out hundreds of Golden Immortal-level magic treasures, activating them simultaneously. A deafening roar erupted as they blasted toward the demon.
All these treasures were engraved with profound formation patterns, forming over a dozen battle formations. When all these battle formations exploded together, their power was immense.
The demon was startled, not daring to confront them head-on, and retreated repeatedly.
Boom... Boom...
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei instantly deployed dozens of formations that enveloped the demon, then seized the opportunity to circle past him.
Boom... Boom...
Ye Yunfei threw out several consecutive punches, instantly killing five or six demons following behind. These demons were only at the Golden Immortal level; they were no match for Ye Yunfei. All were instantly slain without any power to resist.
Then, Ye Yunfei activated his Space Teleportation Token, instantly teleporting far away.
The exchange between Ye Yunfei and this demon lasted only an instant—barely a single breath. Not only had he withstood all the demon's various attacks, but he had also forced the demon to retreat, seemingly gaining the upper hand.
"How is this possible?
This kid can actually fight a Heavenly Immortal head-on!"
All the beings watching from behind found it hard to believe.
"Is he really just a Middle Level Golden Immortal?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Humph!
No wonder this kid caused the deaths of so many people in our Black Wind Group. It turns out he possesses Heavenly Immortal-level combat power. Everyone, be careful. From now on, we must be cautious if we encounter him again. We absolutely cannot underestimate him anymore!
Furthermore, Golden Immortal-level members should not fight him carelessly. Only Heavenly Immortals can handle him!"
An old man from the Black Wind Group said with a grim expression. This old man was a Middle Level Heavenly Immortal.
"Everyone, let's pursue him together! Now that we're gathered is the best chance to hunt down this kid. If we encounter him alone later, killing him will be much harder!"
Looking at Ye Yunfei's distant figure, the three Heavenly Immortals from the Dark Faction were somewhat unwilling to give up. The Middle Level Heavenly Immortal roared loudly and took the lead, chasing after Ye Yunfei.
These three Dark Faction Heavenly Immortals harbored intense killing intent toward Ye Yunfei. Only by killing him could they relieve their hatred.
"Forget it. Our primary mission for entering the Void Secret Realm is to explore and seek treasure. That's most important. Let's not bother with that kid for now!"
However, after hesitating briefly, the other Heavenly Immortals did not follow.
After entering the Void Secret Realm, these Heavenly Immortals had gained some harvests, large or small. They anticipated achieving even greater gains ahead and were unwilling to waste too much time on Ye Yunfei.
"Let's seek treasures first. We can settle accounts with this kid when we have the chance later!"
A Middle Level Heavenly Immortal from the demon race stared in the direction Ye Yunfei had left and said gravely. He then waved his hand, leading the forces from the Demon Capital in another direction.
Next, the other Heavenly Immortals also dispersed, not continuing to pursue Ye Yunfei.
"That kid surnamed Ye is truly formidable. He's only a Golden Immortal, yet he was besieged by so many Heavenly Immortals and actually managed to break through the encirclement calmly and escape successfully!"
Some Golden Immortals watching from afar couldn't help but secretly sigh in admiration.
"Earlier, I saw those two bounty notices. I wanted to gather some friends to hunt him down for the reward. Thankfully, I didn't act. This kid is too strong. If we Golden Immortals went after him, it would be courting death!"
"Even Heavenly Immortals can't do anything to him. We Golden Immortals shouldn't get involved!"
...
Many beings discussed fervently.
"What?
Young Master Ye has appeared and is being chased by many Heavenly Immortals!"
Not long after, Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue received the news, both shocked and joyful.
They were shocked that Ye Yunfei was being pursued, but happy that he was ultimately unharmed.
After entering the secret realm, the two sisters had been following Liu Laolao. Under her protection, they were relatively safe and had gained good harvests.
"Sister Huanhuan, why don't we secretly go find Young Master Ye?"
Xiao Yueyue suddenly whispered to Xiao Huanhuan.
"You two, follow me!"
Liu Laolao, seeing the sisters secretly communicating via soul transmission, immediately shouted.
"You two must follow me. You cannot run around recklessly!
Otherwise, when we return, I'll have the Patriarch confine you both for a hundred years, under house arrest!"
Liu Laolao threatened.
"Let's follow Liu Laolao."
Hearing Liu Laolao's words, both sisters were startled. Xiao Huanhuan whispered softly.
"Keep a close eye on those two. As soon as there's an opportunity, immediately send a message to Zhan Yuan and the Black Wind Group to deal with these two little wenches!"
A large group of Xiao Family members followed Liu Laolao. One of the women, her gaze fixed on Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, sent a covert soul transmission to several other Xiao Family disciples.
This woman was precisely Xiao Qinglian.
At this time, Ye Yunfei successfully shook off the pursuit of the three Dark Faction Heavenly Immortals.
Though these three Dark Faction Heavenly Immortals harbored intense killing intent toward Ye Yunfei, they were also unwilling to waste all their time in this secret realm on him.
"First, let's find a place to rest and recover properly."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Right. That spatial ring you got in that world—what's inside it exactly? Have a good look."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
Earlier in that world, after Ye Yunfei obtained that spatial ring, he was immediately teleported out. Then, he was hunted down by those Heavenly Immortal experts and hadn't had time until now to check what was inside.
Next, Ye Yunfei found a secluded spot, deployed several dozen concealment formations to create a sealed small space, entered it, and then stepped into the Phantom Tower.
Sitting cross-legged, Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and a spatial ring appeared, floating before him.
Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power perception into it and began taking stock of its contents.
Hiss!
At first glance, Ye Yunfei saw range after range of dazzling small mountains within, all composed of vast quantities of Time Energy Crystals, exuding rich Time Energy.
Ye Yunfei made a rough estimate and found that the number of Time Energy Crystals stored in this spatial ring was at least a hundred times more than the ones he had collected after entering that world!
Next, Ye Yunfei saw many pill bottles containing various pills related to Time Energy.
"There's also quite a number of treasures related to time!"
Ye Yunfei exclaimed joyfully.
Treasures related to time were extremely rare.
For example, the Phantom Tower was a treasure related to time. Treasures like the Phantom Tower that contained profound Time Laws were truly scarce in this world.
"Some of these time treasures inside seem comparable to the Phantom Tower!"
Ye Yunfei said excitedly.
Before this, Ye Yunfei had never encountered any time treasures that could compare to the Phantom Tower!
"These are a pair of boots."
Out of curiosity, Ye Yunfei took out a pair of boots from the spatial ring and examined them.
"This is a Demigod-level time treasure, incredibly precious!
Demigod-level time treasures are extremely rare. Even I'm feeling a bit envious!"
The Remnant Soul immediately exclaimed.
"If you like them, Senior, I'll give them to you."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Forget it. I won't snatch treasures from a junior like you. Besides, I'm just a Remnant Soul now. These treasures are useless to me for the time being."
The Remnant Soul replied.
"A Demigod-level treasure... I'm afraid I can't refine it, can I?"
Ye Yunfei said.
"You can give it a try. With me guiding you, you might succeed.
Have you forgotten how you claimed that alchemy furnace?
Moreover, from what I know, non-offensive treasures that contain special energy and special laws are actually easier to refine—such as time and space-related treasures.
Just like your pagoda treasure. I even suspect it might be a Deity-level treasure. Haven't you refined it long ago?
These boots are clearly not offensive treasures. Their energy is mild. You've already held them, and they didn't resist, so it shouldn't be dangerous.
I think you can try."
The Remnant Soul said.
"You make sense, Senior."
Ye Yunfei's spirits lifted.
The Phantom Tower was indeed a treasure containing profound Time Energy and Laws, and he had refined it long ago when he was very weak.
"Senior, you just said you suspect the Phantom Tower is a Deity-level treasure?
That seems unlikely."
Ye Yunfei felt somewhat shocked.
He had obtained the Phantom Tower from King Sky Shadow long ago and had carried it with him ever since, finding it extremely helpful.
If it were a Deity-level treasure, didn't that mean he had been carrying a Deity-level artifact all along?
"I just suspect it. I'm not sure exactly what level this pagoda belongs to.
However, any treasure that even I cannot fathom—do you think its rank would be low?"
The Remnant Soul said.
"Yes, you're right, Senior. I've never been able to see through this pagoda's true rank. Now it seems its rank is definitely not low."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Alright, don't worry about the Phantom Tower for now. Refine these boots first."
The Remnant Soul urged.
"Good. I'll try refining them now!"
Ye Yunfei said.
Even if these boots weren't offensive treasures, they were still a Demigod-level artifact and an extremely rare time treasure, so they surely had great use.
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Force energy and began refining.
The Remnant Soul continuously offered verbal guidance.
He himself was a Demigod and had refined many Demigod-level treasures in the past, possessing extremely rich experience.
However, refining a Demigod-level treasure was indeed somewhat difficult for Ye Yunfei.
"Refine Time Energy Crystals on the side to replenish your Time Energy while refining."
The Remnant Soul said to Ye Yunfei.
"Understood."
Ye Yunfei immediately took out a large amount of Time Energy Crystals, piled them around himself, and began refining and absorbing these energy crystals while refining the boots.
"I'll help you!"
Not long after, the Remnant Soul noticed that Ye Yunfei's current Soul Force energy level made it very difficult to engrave his soul imprint within these boots. He immediately released his own Soul Force energy, stepping in to assist Ye Yunfei.
Rumble...
The Remnant Soul unleashed his Time Energy and Soul Force energy to assist Ye Yunfei, helping him engrave a soul imprint within the boots.
Generally speaking, successfully engraving one's soul imprint in a treasure's key position meant successfully refining that treasure.
"Right! This Phantom Tower is a time treasure too, and its rank is definitely not low. You can use the Phantom Tower to suppress these boots, making it easier for you to refine them."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly said.
"Right!"
Ye Yunfei's spirits lifted again.
"You can try."
The Remnant Soul also nodded.
Rumble...
The next moment, Ye Yunfei immediately urged the Phantom Tower to release billowing Time Energy, suppressing the boots.
With the Phantom Tower suppressing them, Ye Yunfei found the boots' aura quickly weakened somewhat.
"This method really works!"
Ye Yunfei was overjoyed.
Following that, Ye Yunfei continued refining and absorbing more Time Energy Crystals while refining the boots, simultaneously using the Phantom Tower to suppress them.
The Remnant Soul continued guiding and assisting Ye Yunfei from the side.
Inside the Phantom Tower, roughly a year later.
"Senior, I've finally successfully refined these boots!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"These boots are called the Boots of Time!
They're a treasure specifically designed to assist movement speed and body technique!"
Ye Yunfei declared.
