The energies of formations rumbled one after another, and combat arrays erupted in succession, throwing the scene into immediate chaos. Infinite energy erupted like raging tidal waves, making this area of space resemble a pot of boiling water.
After throwing out Formation Flags and magic treasures, Ye Yunfei activated his Time Boots and shifted into his movement technique. His figure became incredibly fast, leaving not even an afterimage as he charged toward the distance.
Those whose strength was insufficient couldn't see him; they couldn't even perceive Ye Yunfei's figure.
However, at this moment, Ye Yunfei was already heavily surrounded, so he brushed past hundreds of people.
"He's here!"
Coincidentally, there was a full-stage Heavenly Immortal nearby whose perception was exceptionally powerful. He actually managed to capture Ye Yunfei's figure and aura and immediately roared out.
"Where do you think you're escaping to!"
Those powerful Heavenly Immortals also saw Ye Yunfei at the first moment and rushed over, reforming their encirclement around him.
"Die, brat!"
The full-stage Heavenly Immortal nearby roared and struck directly, wielding a war halberd shimmering with golden light as he cleaved toward Ye Yunfei, causing space to shake violently.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei directly executed a Heart Force Lock. An invisible shackle clamped onto the body of this full-stage Heavenly Immortal, causing him to sink heavily.
Boom! Boom!...
Ye Yunfei waved his hand and threw out another large batch of Formation Flags and magic treasures. Yet another batch of formations and combat arrays erupted in succession. Towering energies thundered and exploded continuously.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei had no intention of lingering. He turned and left.
"Ye kid, you can't escape!"
Over a dozen powerful Heavenly Immortal experts arrived simultaneously, roaring in unison as they launched attacks toward Ye Yunfei.
"Brother Ye is in danger! Let's go help!"
At this moment, Meng Wu, who was watching from afar along with his two companions, saw the situation clearly and shouted. Then the three of them revealed themselves simultaneously, preparing to charge over and help Ye Yunfei.
"They haven't left yet."
Seeing Meng Wu's trio in the distance, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel touched.
He and these three had only met by chance; their friendship was casual at best. He hadn't expected them to be so chivalrous, stepping forward to help him in such a dangerous situation.
Such righteous and loyal people were indeed quite rare.
Boom! Boom!...
Ye Yunfei waved his hand and threw out yet another batch of Formation Flags and magic treasures. Formation after formation manifested, combat array after combat array erupted.
"Damn it!
Just how many Formation Flags and treasures does this brat have?!"
The dozen-plus Heavenly Immortal experts roared in fury simultaneously, each employing their own methods to continuously destroy the Formation Flags and magic treasures Ye Yunfei threw out.
But Ye Yunfei had already taken this opportunity, transforming into a barely-there phantom figure. He broke through the encirclement and fled toward the distance.
"Brat! Do you think only you have fast movement techniques?
Prepare to die!"
Suddenly, behind Ye Yunfei, overwhelming demonic energy erupted. Then a Yao Crown Prince appeared. His tall, demonic body materialized from an ethereal state, wielding a black, three-pronged trident as he thrust towards Ye Yunfei.
Evidently, this Yao Crown Prince had executed an extremely advanced movement technique that could traverse space instantly, allowing him to catch up to Ye Yunfei's back in a flash.
"So fast!"
Ye Yunfei was inwardly shocked. He hadn't expected that even with the aid of his Time Boots and the Space Teleportation Token, this Yao Crown Prince could still catch up to him. This speed was truly terrifying.
However, Ye Yunfei wasn't afraid. With a thought, he simultaneously executed the Heart Force Lock and Formless Heart Sword, attacking the Yao Crown Prince.
"More Mental Force energy martial techniques!"
Roar!
"Kid, is that all you can do? Just Mental Force energy techniques?!"
The Yao Crown Prince, attacked simultaneously by the Heart Force Lock and Formless Heart Sword, froze abruptly in place. His face twisted with fury as he roared ferociously.
This Yao Crown Prince was a full-stage Heavenly Immortal. Dealing with a mere Golden Immortal should have been as easy as breathing for him. It was no exaggeration to say that he could usually kill several Golden Immortals just by exhaling a breath of demonic energy. Yet now, encountering Ye Yunfei, this Golden Immortal, he found himself constantly restrained and helpless, which naturally made his fury surge wildly.
"What does it matter what techniques I use, as long as they work," Ye Yunfei sneered.
With the Yao Crown Prince's movements restricted, Ye Yunfei had already taken this opportunity to put a large distance between them, directly speeding far away.
Whoosh! Whoosh!...
Heavenly Immortal experts rushed after him like mad.
But by the time they reached the spot where Ye Yunfei had just clashed with the Yao Crown Prince, Ye Yunfei was already far gone.
"You can't escape, brat!"
With Ye Yunfei gone, the Heart Force Lock and Formless Heart Sword naturally lost their effect. The Yao Crown Prince roared in fury, then used both hands to rapidly inscribe a strangely shaped portal in the space before him using demonic energy. He then plunged headlong into the portal and disappeared.
In the next moment, while advancing at full speed, Ye Yunfei's heart lurched as he sensed a particular point in space behind him suddenly shaking violently, like an unstable lake surface. Rolling spatial energy emanated from that location.
Then, a bizarre portal instantly appeared, spreading billowing demonic energy.
Immediately after, the Yao Crown Prince abruptly stepped out from the portal. Wielding the black three-pronged trident in his right hand and, with his left hand, conjuring a three-tiered green pagoda radiating soaring demonic energy, he charged murderously toward Ye Yunfei.
"This fellow seems skilled in a bizarre movement technique that can instantly pierce through space. His speed is too terrifying. If I didn't possess the Time Boots and Space Teleportation Token, I really wouldn't be able to escape from him."
Ye Yunfei was inwardly astonished.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei once again executed the Heart Force Lock and Formless Heart Sword.
"Mental Force energy techniques again!
ROAR...
Break for me!"
Feeling the attacks of the Heart Force Lock and Formless Heart Sword, the Yao Crown Prince flew into a berserk rage, letting out a furious roar.
Rumble!...
Vast, mighty demonic energy erupted continuously from his demonic body like a ten-thousand-year volcano erupting, shooting skyward.
Simultaneously, raging flames actually burst forth from his demonic body.
This Yao Crown Prince was a young genius of the Demon Capital, nurtured with priority since childhood. Now already a full-stage Heavenly Immortal, his capabilities were indeed terrifying.
Moreover, he had now begun burning his origin essence blood to deal with Ye Yunfei, so the energy he unleashed was even more fearsome.
Boom! Boom!...
The other Heavenly Immortal experts from behind also arrived at full speed, each releasing formidable energy.
In fact, all these Heavenly Immortal experts had cultivated various highly advanced movement techniques and martial skills, their speeds terrifyingly fast. However, their speed was slightly slower than that Yao Crown Prince's, so they weren't as prominent.
"Suppress!"
Ye Yunfei understood clearly in his heart: if he were surrounded by these powerful Heavenly Immortal experts and they collectively attacked him, he'd be in serious trouble, defeat far more likely than victory. So he also erupted with full power, roaring loudly as he unreservedly released all his Mental Force energy, once again executing the Heart Force Lock and Formless Heart Sword to press down on that Yao Crown Prince.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei waved his hand and threw out another large batch of Formation Flags and magic treasures.
Formation after formation continuously manifested. Combat array after combat array continuously erupted, attacking the Yao Crown Prince.
Whoosh!
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Yunfei used the Time Boots and Space Teleportation Token to charge out a great distance, once again shaking off the Yao Crown Prince.
ROAR! ROAR!...
Having just burned his origin essence blood specifically to deal with Ye Yunfei, only to have him escape again, the Yao Crown Prince was so enraged he seemed about to go mad. He couldn't help but roar at the heavens, venting his fury and frustration.
"We'll suppress him from a distance!"
The Heavenly Immortal experts behind roared in unison at this moment, then simultaneously unleashed various cultivation techniques, martial skills, or invoked various magic treasures, bombarding toward Ye Yunfei from afar.
"Heh heh...
Just wait. I'll settle accounts with all of you later!"
Ye Yunfei had already mentally noted down every one of those pursuing him. He turned his head and gave a cold laugh.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei accelerated away. In less than half a breath, his figure vanished into the distance.
Boom! Boom!...
In the next moment, a barrage of violent attacks and numerous powerful magic treasures rained down like a torrent on the spot where Ye Yunfei had just stood, utterly destroying both the time and space there.
But by then, Ye Yunfei was long gone.
For the next while, Ye Yunfei utilized the Time Boots and Space Teleportation Token to sprint at full speed.
Naturally, the Heavenly Immortal experts from the major forces behind him were unwilling to give up just like that. Every one of them pursued relentlessly.
This included the Yao Crown Prince, who once again executed that bizarre spatial-piercing movement technique, using demonic energy to draw a spatial portal, catching up behind Ye Yunfei.
However, after consecutively using this forbidden demonic secret technique several times, his consumption was already immense.
Thus, its effectiveness began to diminish more and more; he could no longer accurately arrive right behind Ye Yunfei.
The others' movement speeds were weaker than the Yao Crown Prince's, so they were even less able to catch up with Ye Yunfei.
"Finally breaking away from those fellows!"
Hun Lao, seeing Ye Yunfei finally putting more and more distance between himself and the pursuers, couldn't help but sigh in relief and speak.
"Those fellows were really tenacious. Fortunately, you obtained that fortuitous encounter in the Void Secret Realm, greatly enhancing your Mental Force energy. Plus, you have the Time Boots and the Space Teleportation Token. Otherwise, you likely couldn't have escaped from them."
Hun Lao continued.
"True. They were all Heavenly Immortal experts, and a majority were full-stage ones. Their abilities are certainly formidable.
Facing them alone in a real fight, I wouldn't be their match."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Excellent! Brother Ye has finally broken through and escaped!"
In the distance, Meng Wu's trio saw that Ye Yunfei had successfully shaken off the pursuit of those powerful experts and escaped the encirclement. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, we should go too.
Otherwise, those guys might very well vent their anger on us three."
Li Ming, noticing many people in the distance casting unfriendly, angry gazes towards their trio, immediately said.
The members of those major forces couldn't catch Ye Yunfei, and seeing Meng Wu's trio in the distance, indeed shifted their full wrath onto the three.
"Those three have a very close relationship with that Ye kid. They even wanted to help him earlier. Why don't we capture them, then use them to force the Ye kid to show himself and meet us!"
Someone staring at Meng Wu's trio proposed.
"These three all seem to have significant backgrounds. Would acting against them bring trouble?
Especially that Meng Wu. He's said to be from a very ancient force. Although that force has declined, even half-step Divinity level experts wouldn't dare provoke them lightly!"
Someone said in a cautious tone.
"Afraid of what!
A declined ancient force — worth our fear?
Every single one of us here is from a major force within the Chaotic Void Sea. Which one doesn't have significant backing? Which major force doesn't have a half-step Divinity level authority behind it?
However powerful Meng Wu's ancient force may be, can they simultaneously contend with so many of us major forces?
Besides, that Ye kid possesses Divine Crystals and various treasures of equivalent level. Moreover, everyone witnessed him entering the stone hut behind the three stone tables. That stone hut likely holds even more treasures and opportunities left behind by the Void Deity. Facing Deity-level treasures and opportunities, I fear nothing!"
Someone shouted.
"Right!
Facing Deity-level treasures and opportunities, there's nothing to fear. Everyone, let's capture Meng Wu's trio and use them to threaten Ye Yunfei, forcing him to hand over the Void Deity's treasures and opportunities!"
Upon hearing the words "Deity-level treasures and opportunities," everyone around became instantly energized, roaring before turning and charging toward the direction where Meng Wu's trio was.
However, Meng Wu's trio, seeing the situation turning unfavorable, had long since activated their movement techniques and left beforehand. By now, they were already far away.
"Chase them!"
Some chased after Ye Yunfei's direction, while others pursued the direction Meng Wu's trio had fled.
In the following period, the entire Tian Gai World Cluster was filled with forces everywhere searching for clues regarding Ye Yunfei's whereabouts.
At first, it was the personnel of those major forces scouring everywhere for Ye Yunfei.
However, a startling news quickly began to spread:
A young man named Ye Yunfei had obtained the treasure legacy of the Void Deity within the Void Secret Realm!
After this news spread, even more people joined the action of searching for Ye Yunfei.
Throughout the Tian Gai World Cluster, almost every world had large numbers of people setting up checkpoints and conducting searches everywhere.
Ye Yunfei's portrait and the aura of his Soul Body were widely disseminated. Later on, almost everyone had a copy.
Thus, Ye Yunfei could be considered famous!
"I wonder how Brother Ye is doing now."
At the edge of the Tian Gai World Cluster, Meng Wu, Lu Jun, and Li Ming moved forward, concealed within space, attempting to leave the world cluster while simultaneously avoiding the searches conducted by the various major forces' personnel.
"Don't worry. I think you shouldn't worry about Brother Ye's safety at all.
At the exit of the Void Secret Realm, with so many powerful experts and troops, they still couldn't do anything to Brother Ye.
Now that those experts and major forces' personnel are dispersed, searching everywhere for Brother Ye, their strength is fragmented. Brother Ye has even less to fear. Even if encountered, he could retreat easily.
I think the three of us should be more concerned about ourselves. We must be careful, more concealed. It's best we aren't discovered. Otherwise, the three of us will face group attacks. Unlike Brother Ye, we don't possess such great capabilities. Once those guys gang up on us, the consequences would be very troublesome!"
Li Ming said.
