"Xiaoyao Banshen…
That title indeed suits his temperament quite well."
Ye Yunfei watched his departing figure and couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Let's continue on our journey."
Ye Yunfei circulated his movement technique and continued hurrying towards the Tianyan World Cluster. This time, he did not stop to wander in any other world clusters along the way, heading straight for his destination—the Tianyan World Cluster.
However, not long after, Ye Yunfei discovered that many world clusters and worlds were under attack. The overall strength of these world clusters and worlds was not particularly high.
The attackers were armies of the Dark Faction, as well as armies of the Demon Race. Within these world clusters and worlds, signs of war rose everywhere, scenes of chaos evident in all directions.
When Ye Yunfei passed by a world cluster named the Tianma World Cluster, he saw a massive army of the Demon Race killing their way into this world cluster with overwhelming force.
Wherever they went, corpses littered the ground and rivers of blood flowed. Countless innocent beings lost their lives directly. Fragments of countless Soul Bodies transformed into ethereal wraiths that drifted within this world cluster, emitting mournful cries as if accusing this cruel and merciless war.
"That can't be. Why would these Demon Race armies attack an ordinary world cluster like this?
Compared to those core world clusters, this world cluster's strength should be quite weak, not worth mentioning, and unlikely to possess anything valuable. Why would they catch the eye of the Demon Race army?
Could it be to seize territory and expand their domain?"
Seeing those cruel scenes of slaughter, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking silently to himself.
However, Ye Yunfei did not intervene, because he did not know the cause of this war. Moreover, wars like this were probably an everyday occurrence in the Chaotic Void Sea. Ye Yunfei had no desire to play the savior and meddle in such affairs.
"Grandpa, grandpa, how are you…
Grandpa, please wake up, don't scare me!"
Within one of the worlds of this world cluster, a little girl stood amidst a mountain of bloody corpses, desperately shaking the body of a white-haired old man who had long since stopped breathing. She cried heart-wrenchingly.
"There's still one fish that slipped through the net here. This family was originally the ruler of this world. We must cut off all the roots and eliminate all remnants! Not a single enemy survivor can be left!"
A powerful member of the Demon Race spotted the little girl and spoke coldly.
The Demon Race was inherently brutal; a single life held no more value in their eyes than a speck of dust.
*BOOM…*
This Demon Race powerhouse pointed a finger. A dazzling demonic radiance erupted from his fingertip, transforming into a demonic sword that slashed towards the little girl's head.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yunfei felt a stirring in his heart. This little girl looked to be at most four or five years old. Her loved ones had likely all been killed by the Demon Race; she was in her most pitiful and helpless state. Now, even her own life was in peril.
"Very well, I'll save you."
A wave of pity suddenly arose in Ye Yunfei's heart. With a thought, he activated the Formless Heart Sword.
With a *pfft*, the Demon Race powerhouse's head exploded directly, like a smashed watermelon, juices flying.
"Who's there?!"
There happened to be five or six other Demon Race powerhouses nearby, all at the Primary Heavenly Immortal level. Seeing their companion die suddenly, each of them was both shocked and enraged, immediately charging over.
However, they did not see who had attacked, only the helpless little girl standing amidst the pile of corpses.
"It must be related to this little bitch!"
One of the Demon Race Heavenly Immortals pointed at the little girl and said.
His movement speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he arrived before the little girl, extending a demonic claw to grab her!
"It's a monster!
It's you evil monsters who killed my grandpa! I will avenge my grandpa!"
The little girl was startled at first upon seeing the Demon Race expert appear before her. Then, remembering that her grandpa was killed by these monsters, her fear instantly transformed into rage. Pointing her little finger at the Demon Race powerhouse, she loudly cursed.
Then, she actually drew out a short sword and began waving it as she charged towards the Demon Race powerhouse.
The little girl's family was originally a major clan within this world. Every child in the clan practiced martial arts from a young age. So, even though she was only four or five years old, she had already begun training. The sword technique she displayed was actually quite skilled and orderly.
But such strength was utterly laughable to that Demon Race powerhouse.
*BOOM…*
The Demon Race powerhouse's demonic claw unleashed powerful demonic energy, directly suppressing the little girl.
Just as the little girl was about to be crushed into pieces, Ye Yunfei moved his thoughts, simultaneously activating the Formless Heart Sword and Heart Force Lock.
That Demon Race Heavenly Immortal suddenly stiffened, standing there unable to move, his face filled with terror.
"Bad news! Everyone be careful! There's a formidable enemy hiding nearby!"
In his panic, this Demon Race Heavenly Immortal struggled desperately while shouting loudly.
"Where?!"
The other Demon Race Heavenly Immortals were also greatly alarmed upon seeing this. They immediately released their Soul Power energy, searching for the hidden formidable enemy nearby.
"Over that direction!"
One Demon Race expert with particularly strong Soul Power actually managed to detect Ye Yunfei's figure. Pointing at Ye Yunfei, he shouted.
Then, those Demon Race powerhouses all soared into the air, shouting as they charged towards Ye Yunfei's location.
"Since that's the case, I'll just kill you all."
Ye Yunfei stood in the distant high sky, coldly watching those Demon Race powerhouses as he spoke indifferently.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Yunfei once again unleashed the Formless Heart Sword and Heart Force Lock, simultaneously attacking those several Demon Race powerhouses.
With Ye Yunfei's current Heart Force energy level, using these two Heart Force martial skills against Primary Heavenly Immortals was extremely effective. His opponents simply couldn't dodge.
"What's going on?!"
Simultaneously attacked by the Formless Heart Sword and Heart Force Lock, those Demon Race powerhouses instantly lost their ability to move, each revealing expressions of horror.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand in a slash.
A thick sword ray roared forth, sweeping horizontally. It then sliced all those Demon Race powerhouses into bits.
Ye Yunfei now had ample experience fighting Heavenly Immortal experts. Battling Heavenly Immortals now felt increasingly calm and effortless, and the combat prowess he could unleash was even more formidable. Dealing with these few Primary Heavenly Immortals of the Demon Race was exceptionally easy.
*Agh…*
Piercing screams continuously rang out.
After the physical bodies of those Demon Race powerhouses were chopped apart, their Soul Bodies floated out one after another. Their Soul Bodies were already covered in distinct cracks. The sword technique Ye Yunfei had just used not only shredded their flesh but also grievously wounded their Soul Bodies.
"The enemy is too strong! We are no match! Hurry back and call for reinforcements!"
These few Primary Heavenly Immortals of the Demon Race knew they had encountered an adversary they couldn't oppose. They shrieked as they turned to flee.
"Hehehe, you belong to me now."
Huang Shang had long since been prepared, blocking the escape route of these Demon Race powerhouses' Soul Bodies.
*BOOM…*
Billowing ghost mist erupted, forming one dark, gleaming wall after another, enclosing this space. This was the Ghost Wall technique.
Having refined quite a few Heavenly Immortal-level experts' Soul Bodies recently, Huang Shang's ghost arts had reached a higher level. Faced with these already injured Soul Bodies of Heavenly Immortal experts, he could easily handle them.
"What happened?"
At this moment, the distant Demon Race army also sensed something amiss here. Several leaders led large contingents of troops rushing over.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand in another slash. A thick sword ray swept forth.
Ye Yunfei's Myriad Swords Return to One Great Dharma had already reached the level of seven hundred thousand swords. Against these average-strength Demon Race troops, its lethality was extremely powerful.
In just a few breaths' time, all the Demon Race forces in the vicinity had been completely wiped out by Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei extended a hand and made a sucking motion, pulling the little girl over to him. He then sealed her, causing her to fall unconscious.
"I'll take you away from this world first, then arrange a safe place for you."
Ye Yunfei said softly.
He then stored the little girl away.
"What's happening over there? Go check it out."
Other distant Demon Race forces charged over.
"War is the cruelest thing for these innocent beings."
Ye Yunfei glanced at the blood-soaked corpses piled everywhere within this world cluster and couldn't help but sigh.
Then, Ye Yunfei took a single step and vanished, leaving this world cluster behind as he continued towards the Tianyan World Cluster.
Over the following days, Ye Yunfei traveled ceaselessly through the Chaotic Void Sea.
"Hehehe, a few more Heavenly Immortal Soul Bodies harvested. Their quality is quite good."
Huang Shang had already gained control over those Demon Race Heavenly Immortals' Soul Bodies and was refining and absorbing them.
"Senior Huang, after refining and absorbing these Demon Race Heavenly Immortals' Soul Bodies, your strength should increase again, right?"
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Of course.
Next, kill some more Heavenly Immortals. If I refine and absorb enough Heavenly Immortal Soul Bodies, I will inevitably undergo a transformation. When that time comes, my strength will have a qualitative leap!"
Huang Shang said.
"If Heavenly Immortals provoke me, I'll kill a few more. But if none come to provoke me, I won't kill indiscriminately."
Ye Yunfei replied.
"Naturally, I've been with you for so long, how could I not understand your character?
But don't worry, no matter where you go, you are destined to provoke a lot of people."
Huang Shang said with a laugh.
"Young Master Ye, we are about to arrive at the Tianyan World Cluster!"
Finally, one day, Peng Rou suddenly exclaimed joyfully.
Although she was within the Phantom Image Pagoda, she constantly sensed the path ahead.
"That's wonderful!"
Ye Yunfei inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could escort Peng Rou and her younger brother back to the Tianyan World Cluster, he would have completed one of his tasks.
After this, he could travel the Chaotic Void Sea freely and without attachments.
Soon afterwards, a world cluster indeed appeared ahead. Its scale was decent, with roughly two to three hundred worlds floating in the void ahead, forming a world cluster.
Peng Rou and her younger brother immediately rushed out from the Phantom Image Pagoda, visibly excited.
"Excellent!
We're finally back!"
Peng Fang shouted loudly.
"Unfortunately, many of the Peng family members who went with us to explore the Void Secret Realm have remained in that realm forever and cannot return.
It was the people of the Heavenly God Hall who killed so many of our Peng family members!"
Peng Rou suddenly remembered those Peng family members who had been with her and her brother in the Void Secret Realm. All of them had been killed by the Heavenly God Hall's people. Otherwise, those Peng family members could have returned home with them. She felt saddened and spoke softly.
"Sister, don't worry. We will forever remember this grudge. After returning, I will cultivate diligently. When my strength is sufficient in the future, I will definitely go and seek vengeance against the Heavenly God Hall!"
Peng Fang said through gritted teeth.
"You must not act recklessly! Forget that you are currently only a Golden Immortal. Even if you become a Heavenly Immortal, or even a semi-god in the future, you would still be no match for the Heavenly God Hall. I will report this matter to the family ancestor and let the ancestor handle it."
Hearing her brother's words, Peng Rou was startled. She knew this brother of hers sometimes had a one-track mind, and she feared he might truly impulsively go after the Heavenly God Hall.
The Heavenly God Hall was renowned throughout the entire Chaotic Void Sea. It was said to have many semi-god powerhouses stationed within!
Even the Peng family ancestor might not be a match for the Heavenly God Hall!
"Young Master Ye, this is the Tianyan World Cluster, my hometown. Now, let me take you back to my family's world. We can relax and enjoy ourselves for a few days."
Peng Rou hurriedly changed the subject, addressing Ye Yunfei.
"That's right, Young Master Ye. Let me take you to our Peng family as our guest now. I will definitely entertain you properly."
Peng Fang also said enthusiastically to Ye Yunfei.
"I think it's best I don't visit your Peng family as a guest. I'll come another time when the opportunity arises. Escorting you this far completes my task."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before replying.
Ye Yunfei understood inwardly that although he had done favors for the Peng siblings, going to the Peng family wouldn't necessarily guarantee a warm reception from their elders.
Because superficially, he was merely a Golden Immortal who came from the Three Thousand Worlds. In the eyes of people from other world clusters, the Three Thousand Worlds was considered a backward and remote world cluster.
A young junior from a backward world cluster, and only a Golden Immortal at that, wouldn't be particularly welcomed wherever he went in the Chaotic Void Sea.
"Young Master Ye, are you leaving so soon?
Since you've already come to the Tianyan World Cluster, you must at least spend a few days at our Peng family!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Peng Rou was surprised and spoke immediately.
"Yes, Young Master Ye, your kindness to us siblings is as weighty as a mountain. If not for you, we both would not have survived until now!
After we return, we will immediately report to our ancestor. The ancestor will certainly receive you warmly!"
Peng Fang also hastened to speak.
How could these two siblings bear to let Ye Yunfei leave now?
"It's really better this way. I plan to properly explore and experience the Chaotic Void Sea!
We'll meet again in the future!"
Ye Yunfei waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile.
He then prepared to turn and leave.
