"Chase! That brat is right ahead!"
The Heavenly Immortal experts of the Demon Race all accurately sensed Ye Yunfei's figure and roared in fury as they pursued him at full speed.
A demon army of this size charging swiftly through the Chaotic Void Sea naturally drew the attention of many passing beings.
"That's the army from the Demon Capital! It looks like the Demon Capital is preparing to conquer yet another unfortunate world cluster!"
"Alas, the Demon Race has always been of a savage disposition. They've conquered several world clusters during this period, and each one they subdue suffers immense damage. Countless innocent lives have perished at the hands of their armies. It's safe to say that any world cluster targeted by the Demon Race army will meet a terrible fate!"
...
Some of the passersby watched the vast demon army advancing and shook their heads with sighs as they looked on.
Recently, certain major powers within the Chaotic Void Sea had been dispatching forces left and right, expanding territories, and seizing domains. The Demon Capital was one of the more active powers, sending out several armies to wage war everywhere, causing countless casualties and stirring anger in the hearts of many. However, the Demon Capital's strength was simply too great; even if someone harbored resentment, none dared to provoke them.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei discovered that the formation of the pursuing demon army at the rear had begun to scatter. The faster and slower Demon Race members had spread out, forming several separate groups of pursuers.
All the Heavenly Immortal experts of the Demon Race were charging ahead at the front. At this moment, the very rear of the Demon Race army was its weakest point!
"It's time to act. We start from the back."
Ye Yunfei said softly.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei activated his Space Teleportation Talisman and instantly teleported to the very rear of the Demon Race army.
These demon members at the very back were the slowest in movement speed and comparatively weaker in strength.
"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei whispered the command.
Then, Ye Yunfei, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang all struck simultaneously, charging together towards those Demon Race members.
Given their strength, dealing with these stragglers at the very rear was naturally effortless for Ye Yunfei's group. It was practically a one-sided massacre.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand and slashed out a massive, dazzling sword beam. Wherever the sword beam passed, it mowed down rows upon rows of Demon Race members as if harvesting straw, their bodies falling in waves after being cleaved in half.
A huge wheel shot out from behind Ye Yunfei, as the Nine Divine Beasts materialized together, pushing forward the radiant, brilliant wheel. Wherever it passed, those demon members were instantly incinerated into fine ash, then scattered by the wind as if they had never existed.
One must know that these Nine Divine Beasts now each possessed the strength to contend with a Heavenly Immortal alone. Their combined effort pushing the wheel was the ultimate combat form of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, equivalent to nine Heavenly Immortals attacking together. Its power was overwhelming!
"Run! Hurry, run!"
Facing the slaughter by Ye Yunfei and his companions, those demon members had no power to resist whatsoever, so they scrambled to flee.
"You can't escape."
Ye Yunfei sneered, waving his hand again. Over a thousand magical treasures burst forth simultaneously, bombarding all directions.
This indiscriminate attack instantly annihilated a large swath of Demon Race members.
"What's happening? Someone is actually ambushing the Demon Race army halfway?"
"It's too powerful! The demon army is being utterly overwhelmed!"
...
The passing onlookers watching from afar were utterly shocked, unable to believe the sight.
"Dammit!"
The experts at the front of the Demon Race army noticed the commotion behind them instantly. Enraged, they immediately turned and charged back.
Boom boom boom...
Every Demon Race Heavenly Immortal unleashed their various energies, suppressing Ye Yunfei and the others from a distance.
Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Huang Shang instantly felt their bodies grow heavy, startling them. After all, having so many demon Heavenly Immortals strike together, their demonic energy vast as a roiling ocean, was no trivial matter.
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei unleashed his immense physical strength, directly countering the suppression from those demon Heavenly Immortals. He instantly neutralized the pressure weighing on his three companions.
"Move!"
At Ye Yunfei's command, Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Huang Shang all immediately entered the Shadow Tower. Ye Yunfei activated his Space Teleportation Talisman and teleported away in a flash, leaving behind only densely packed demon corpses.
"Roar...!"
Those demon Heavenly Immortals' faces twisted with fury as they roared angrily at the heavens.
"That kid surnamed Ye is over there! Chase him!"
Suddenly, the leading demon Heavenly Immortal perceived Ye Yunfei's aura, which was rapidly receding in a certain direction. With a fierce roar, he transformed into a streak of demonic light and gave chase, followed by all the other demon Heavenly Immortals pressing onward at full speed. Further back, the main demon army also swarmed after them in full force.
"It seems that demon army isn't heading to conquer a world cluster, but rather chasing down a few beings! Mobilizing an entire army just to pursue a handful of people... that's putting on quite the spectacle!"
Seeing the vast demon army chasing after a few individuals left the onlookers stunned.
Not long after...
"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei led Hu Miao and the others to slaughter their way back to the rear of the demon army once more. Each of them fought with speed against speed, and in mere moments, a great number of demon members were slain. This time, even more of the Demon Race perished!
"Kid surnamed Ye! If you have any guts, face us in a life-or-death fight!"
Bellowing furiously, the demon Heavenly Immortals from the front rushed through the void.
Ye Yunfei didn't engage. Instead, he took his three companions and teleported away. This time, they appeared before the main body of the Demon Race army.
"Kill!"
With a thunderous shout, Ye Yunfei charged toward the members of the Demon Race army.
The Nine Divine Beasts pushed the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel rolling forward together. Wherever it went, countless demon members were instantly vaporized into steam, vanishing from sight.
Ye Yunfei employed the Mental Force Shackles and the Formless Mind Swords. Everywhere they went, those Golden Immortals of the Demon Race had no means of resistance. Suppressed and immobilized, they stood there like statues awaiting slaughter. A single sweeping sword beam from Ye Yunfei could instantly cut down dozens, or even hundreds, of Golden Immortals. The lethality was astounding.
Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm each possessed unique skills. Moreover, after refining Divine Crystals some time ago, their strength had significantly increased. Their combat prowess was formidable, slaughtering demon members in droves wherever they struck.
"Roar... Everyone gather together! Don't let him pick us off one by one!"
The leading Demon Race commander finally understood Ye Yunfei's tactics and roared furiously. Hearing his command, all the demon members began to gather closely together.
"What good is bunching up together? You'll still die!"
Fired up by the slaughter, Ye Yunfei roared.
Boom boom...
Ye Yunfei waved his hands repeatedly, tossing out large numbers of formation flags, constructing one formation after another. Each formation enveloped a portion of the demon army.
Ye Yunfei possessed two Soul Bodies. He had always used one to practice and comprehend various arts and secret techniques—including formations. Thus, his skill level in formations had been steadily increasing.
Boom boom...
Most of the formations he deployed possessed offensive attributes. They continuously spewed out thick beams of formation energy, assaulting the demon army. This held back another large group of Demon Race members. At the same time, Ye Yunfei flung out numerous magical treasures, forming combat arrays that unceasingly attacked the demon forces.
Within an extremely short time, Ye Yunfei and his companions had slaughtered yet another swath of Demon Race members.
Roar roar...
The demon Heavenly Immortal experts roared angrily as they charged toward Ye Yunfei.
"Move!"
Ye Yunfei immediately led his three companions away through instant movement. The next moment, they appeared on one side of the demon army and directly launched their attack.
Communicating via sound transmission, each strike by Ye Yunfei and his companions was meticulously coordinated. The moment they moved, the Demon Race army was caught completely off guard and defenseless.
Although this demon force was vast in numbers, gathering so many demons together to act collectively made it far less agile than Ye Yunfei's small group. Ye Yunfei and his companions were all proficient in movement techniques, appearing and vanishing like a dragon in the clouds—impossible to predict, incredibly difficult to guard against.
"Quick! All units, gather together!"
The leading demon Heavenly Immortal roared while charging towards Ye Yunfei's group.
"Let's go!"
Ye Yunfei led his companions away by teleportation, reappearing in the distance. He sneered coldly as he watched that leading demon Heavenly Immortal.
"Kid surnamed Ye! You think you can escape?"
The leading demon Heavenly Immortal was also incredibly fast. He transformed into a demonic streak and charged toward Ye Yunfei from afar.
Ye Yunfei activated his Space Teleportation Talisman and performed several consecutive teleportations, instantly putting a vast distance between himself and the demon army. However, those demon Heavenly Immortals were not about to let him go easily. Killing intent radiating from them, they chased after Ye Yunfei.
A short while later, Ye Yunfei suddenly made a sudden about-face and appeared at the rear of the demon army once more, charging and slaughtering, instantly wiping out a huge group.
Roar roar...
By the time the demon Heavenly Immortals sensed something amiss and turned back to give chase, another large batch of Demon Race members had already been slain by Ye Yunfei's group.
After several rounds of repeated slaughter, the demon army's numbers had decreased by more than half! The casualties were devastating.
"All members, immediately enter my spatial treasure!"
The leading commander of the Demon Race finally realized things were dire. If this continued, the army he commanded might very well be wiped out to the last man!
Following his order, all the demon forces desperately rushed to gather around him. The commander produced a seven-story demon tower that erupted with powerful suction, pulling the demon members inside. This was a spatial treasure.
"Kid surnamed Ye, preying on the weak! What kind of a hero is that?! If you have the skill, fight us fairly!"
An Intermediate Heavenly Immortal of the Demon Race roared furiously at Ye Yunfei.
Just now, Ye Yunfei and his companions had toyed with these demon Heavenly Immortals, using their superior speed and movement techniques to great effect. The looks they shot at Ye Yunfei were filled with seething rage, wishing desperately for a proper battle.
"As you wish."
This time, Ye Yunfei did not intend to evade any longer. He was ready to engage these demon Heavenly Immortal experts in a proper fight.
Although the other side had over twenty demon Heavenly Immortals, only two were Perfected Heavenly Immortals at most. With such overall strength, Ye Yunfei held no fear. This was precisely why he had dared to harass this demon army with his companions.
Boom...
The moment his words fell, Ye Yunfei unleashed the Mental Force Shackles. An invisible chain snapped shut around the body of the demon Intermediate Heavenly Immortal.
Swoosh!
Before the demon Intermediate Heavenly Immortal could react in shock and comprehend what strange technique was attacking him, Ye Yunfei was already before him, throwing a punch.
The physical might of one hundred and eight thousand demon dragons infused his fist, making it impossibly heavy. Where the fist passed, space fragmented inch by inch.
"No!"
Sensing the terrifying power within Ye Yunfei's fist, the demon Intermediate Heavenly Immortal was scared out of his wits.
With a sickening *poof*, the demon Intermediate Heavenly Immortal exploded into a mist of blood, scattering with the wind.
Instant kill!
"Too strong!"
The other demon Heavenly Immortals watched, trembling with fear.
Moments ago, as they chased Ye Yunfei and witnessed him continuously slaughtering their subordinates, they had desperately wanted to clash with him in battle. But now, they suddenly realized Ye Yunfei's combat prowess was terrifying. It seemed they, the so-called Heavenly Immortal experts, could hardly gain any advantage.
Killing an Intermediate Heavenly Immortal with a single move—such power was horrifying!
"Your turn now!"
Ye Yunfei unleashed both the Mental Force Shackles and the Formless Mind Swords, simultaneously attacking the three nearest demon Heavenly Immortals—one Intermediate and two Primary Heavenly Immortals.
The three demon Heavenly Immortals immediately found themselves immobilized.
"No! Save us!"
The three demon Heavenly Immortals paled drastically, simultaneously calling for aid.
"Too late!"
Ye Yunfei roared.
The Nine Divine Beasts charged out from behind Ye Yunfei and pounced on the three demon Heavenly Immortals together.
"Ah..."
Before any of the other demon Heavenly Immortals could rush over to help, the three let out simultaneous agonized screams as the Nine Divine Beasts tore them limb from limb.
"Hehe... My turn!"
Huang Shang appeared, his ink-black, lustrous ghost body resembling a black hole that seemed to devour everything. The eerie, cold laugh he emitted caused the Soul Bodies of the demon members to sway unsteadily, making them struggle to keep their footing.
Boom...
An overwhelming surge of ghostly mist erupted, forming one spectral wall after another. A demon Heavenly Immortal was immediately trapped within, struggling left and right but unable to escape.
"Try out my illusion art!"
Hu Miao unleashed her illusion technique. One illusion after another descended, enveloping those demon Heavenly Immortals.
Rumble...
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transformed into a golden dragon, shaking its head and swaying its tail. Its massive draconic form radiated immense pressure.
"Come! Fight me head-on! You'll do!"
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm roared, his fighting spirit boiling over as he charged headlong towards a Demon Race Heavenly Immortal.
Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had long since reached a level where they could contend with Heavenly Immortals. Now, facing these demon Heavenly Immortals, they did not feel overwhelmed. On the contrary, they appeared quite at ease. With their very first attacks, they forced the demon Heavenly Immortals into continuous retreat, unable to hold their ground.
"The two of us should join forces to kill that kid surnamed Ye first!"
The two Perfected Heavenly Immortals of the Demon Race exchanged a glance, simultaneously fixing their gaze on Ye Yunfei, communicating through sound transmission.
They understood: everything would be settled once Ye Yunfei was dead.
Boom boom!
The two Perfected Heavenly Immortals charged toward Ye Yunfei together.
Roar roar...
The Nine Divine Beasts simultaneously pushed the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, smashing it towards one of the Perfected Heavenly Immortals.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei himself charged towards the other Perfected Heavenly Immortal, and the great battle commenced.
