"That guy seems to be injured!"
After dodging the attack from the demonic hand, Ye Yunfei quickly broke out of the Ice-Snow World Cluster and emerged into the void beyond.
Although the defenses within the Ice-Snow World Cluster were extremely tight, Ye Yunfei had used the Space Teleportation Token to instantly bypass all of them.
"That's right. The one who just attacked you is a Demigod, but he seems wounded. The attack energy he unleashed was much weaker than a normal Demigod's! There's no need to ask; this fellow was most likely injured not long ago during the battle with that Bing Laozu. Who would have thought that Bing Laozu actually had some skill? Fighting one against two, and while injured himself, he still managed to wound a Demon Race Demigod. But let's not worry about that. Hurry up and leave. There are two Demigods in the Ice-Snow World Cluster. Even if one is injured, there's still the other." Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token and instantly teleported away.
Boom! Boom!
Two Devil Race elders chased out from the Ice-Snow World Cluster.
"Many major powers are currently searching for this kid's whereabouts. If our Devil Race wants to capture him, we must get ahead of them. It's a pity this kid is too slippery. He's escaped again." One of the elders said.
"He went that way. Let's pursue!" The other elder said.
Boom!
This elder transformed into a beam of devilish light and chased after Ye Yunfei's recent departure route.
Boom!
The other elder didn't hesitate and also gave chase.
"Two Demon Race Demigods are coming after you!" Hun Lao sensed the two auras up ahead and immediately warned Ye Yunfei.
"Let them chase. It won't be so easy to catch up to me." Ye Yunfei laughed.
Then, Ye Yunfei continuously used the Space Teleportation Token, teleporting through the void towards the distance.
The two Demon Race Demigods behind him were extremely fast and adept at various devil race secret techniques, locking onto Ye Yunfei's aura and pursuing relentlessly. However, Ye Yunfei wasn't worried about being caught by these two Demigods because he had confidence in his movement speed and the Space Teleportation Token. This wasn't even his fastest speed yet.
"Let's try Demigod-level spatial energy crystals!" Looking at the two relentless Demon Race Demigods behind him, Ye Yunfei waved his hand and took out a batch of Demigod-level spatial energy crystals, preparing to insert them into the Space Teleportation Token. The higher the level of energy crystals used to power the token, the stronger its teleportation effect! In the plaza of the Xuwu Realm, besides obtaining Divine Crystals, Ye Yunfei had also acquired a large number of other grade crystals, including many Demigod-level energy crystals!
Rumble…
Right at this moment, an overwhelming surge of energy erupted from behind. Endless icy energy transformed into a massive white snow and ice dragon that fiercely blasted towards one of the Demon Race Demigods.
"Roar… Old man Ice, you have some nerve, daring to come out looking for death!" The Demigod who was attacked roared in fury and immediately counterattacked.
"It's Bing Laozu from the Ice-Snow World Cluster! He's still alive and has come to fight these two Demon Race Demigods again!" Ye Yunfei looked back and saw a white-robed elder fiercely battling the two Devils, making the void tremble as if it couldn't withstand the force. It was indeed Bing Laozu of the Ice-Snow World Cluster!
"Young man, hurry and go. I'll cover your retreat!" Just as Ye Yunfei was observing the fierce battle, he suddenly received a Sound Transmission from Bing Laozu.
"Senior…" Ye Yunfei was taken aback, feeling slightly puzzled. Is this Bing Laozu here to help me?
"Leave quickly, young man. I can only hold these two Demon Race Demigods for a while!" As Ye Yunfei was wondering, he received another Sound Transmission from Bing Laozu.
"Thank you for your assistance, Senior!" Ye Yunfei replied via Sound Transmission, then activated the Space Teleportation Token and vanished in an instant.
"From this moment on, it's a fight to the death between me and your Devil Race!" Seeing Ye Yunfei leave, Bing Laozu said to the two Demon Race Demigods in an angry tone while fending off their attacks.
The expressions of the two Demon Race Demigods darkened considerably. The two of them had led a Devil Race army to deal with the Ice-Snow World Cluster. Originally, they needed to kill Bing Laozu to eliminate future threats, but Bing Laozu's strength was too great. It had taken both of them working together to wound him. Later, Bing Laozu had taken revenge, injuring one of the Demon Race Demigods through ambush tactics. Now he was back again, helping Ye Yunfei.
Boom!
After speaking, Bing Laozu executed an extremely profound escape technique, unleashing a vast amount of icy energy that filled the surrounding space. Then, Bing Laozu transformed into a flurry of snowflakes, merging with the myriad snowflakes swirling in the air.
"That trick again! Destroy every last one of these snowflakes, leave not a single one!" The two Demon Race Demigods roared simultaneously.
Previously, Bing Laozu had used this bizarre ice and snow secret technique to escape from them several times successfully.
Boom! Boom!
Both Demigods erupted with their full power, releasing vast devilish might that enveloped a large area of void. Under the pressure of the terrifying devilish energy, the countless snowflakes continuously melted, vanished, and were utterly destroyed.
"Haha… You two joining forces can defeat me, but killing me won't be so easy!" Laughter sounded from a single snowflake that suddenly materialized in the distant void before instantly flying far away.
"We'll split up and chase separately. One goes after that kid Ye Yunfei, the other goes after Bing Laozu. You're injured; you might not be able to handle Bing Laozu, so you go after the kid surnamed Ye. I'll go hunt down Bing Laozu. Be careful. Although that kid surnamed Ye is only a Golden Immortal, he's already killed quite a few Heavenly Immortals. His strength is a bit peculiar." One of the Demon Race Demigods said before chasing after Bing Laozu.
"Don't worry. He's just a Golden Immortal. No matter how strong he is, there's a limit." The other Demigod replied disdainfully before chasing in the direction Ye Yunfei had left.
The Demigod pursuing Ye Yunfei was indeed injured, but he felt that even wounded, dealing with a mere Golden Immortal would be extremely easy.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei used the Space Teleportation Token, continuously teleporting.
"Kid, you can't escape." The Demigod behind him locked onto Ye Yunfei, chasing tirelessly.
"That injured guy is coming after you. Looks like those two Demon Race Demigods don't think much of you, sending the injured one to chase you." Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"This guy is only an initial-stage Demigod and is already injured. He doesn't pose much of a threat to me. If both Demon Race Demigods came together, I might have a harder time dealing with them. Facing just one, there's nothing to fear. Good, I'll test exactly how strong a Demigod expert is!" Ye Yunfei looked at the devilish aura billowing from the Demon Race Demigod behind him and said through gritted teeth.
"Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, you handle this for a bit. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate." Ye Yunfei said to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Seclusion cultivation? You're not thinking of sharpening your spear just before the battle, are you?" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm replied.
"That's right. I plan on sharpening my spear before the battle. Even if it's not sharpened quickly, at least it gleams." Ye Yunfei laughed.
"Fine then. An injured Demigod… my current speed shouldn't be slower than his." The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had no choice but to agree.
"I'll give you a Soul Power imprint. Then you can use the Space Teleportation Token and won't need to fear him." Ye Yunfei said.
Thus, Ye Yunfei separated out a wisp of Soul Power imprint and handed it to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. Then he handed over the Phantom Tower, entered it, and began his seclusion.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand and took out a batch of Heavenly Immortal-level magical treasures.
"It's been a while since I last refined the Stone God Pond. I should be able to continue cultivating the Transform Body into Artifact secret art now." Ye Yunfei looked at the Heavenly Immortal-level treasures in front of him and said softly.
The Sky Metal Race's Transform Body into Artifact secret art was one of Ye Yunfei's trump cards for Body Tempering! However, the enhancement of the physical body couldn't proceed without interruption forever. Each time it was enhanced, the body needed a period of adaptation and accumulation before it could be cultivated and elevated again. In fact, this was the same as the cultivation of other energies. After each breakthrough in realm, one must temper and accumulate within that realm for a period before potentially impacting a higher realm.
"While cultivating the Transform Body into Artifact secret art, I should also enhance the strength of the Nine Divine Beasts." Ye Yunfei took out another large batch of cultivation resources, released the Nine Divine Beasts, and let them devour them.
The Nine Palace Totem Wheel currently seemed to still have great potential. Ye Yunfei intended to spare no expense to cultivate this powerful technique to its highest level.
Next, Ye Yunfei simultaneously cultivated the Transform Body into Artifact technique and the Nine Palace Totem Wheel.
Outside, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, carrying the Phantom Tower, transformed into a streak of golden light that continuously traversed space, swiftly moving forward. The Demigod behind relentlessly pursued.
"It's said that kid surnamed Ye has a Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm accompanying him. So it's true. After killing that kid, this Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm will belong to me. I'll definitely tame it then!" The Demon Race Demigod watched the astonishingly fast Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm ahead and couldn't help but think to himself.
This Demon Race Demigod lived up to being a Demigod expert. Using devil race secret techniques, he locked onto the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's aura. No matter how the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm tried to conceal itself, he could still capture its presence.
Of course, Ye Yunfei intended to fight this Demon Race Demigod, so the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm wasn't trying to completely shake him off but maintained a certain distance.
Thus, one fleeing, one chasing, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and the Demon Race Demigod raced through the Chaotic Void. Recently, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had refined quite a few Divine Crystals. Not only had its bloodline risen several levels, but it had also awakened several race divine abilities in one go. Its ability to traverse space grew stronger and stronger, and with the Space Teleportation Token on top of that, the Demon Race Demigod had a hard time catching up.
"Damnit! It's said Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworms excel at traversing all sorts of spaces and are proficient in many profound spatial secret techniques. That seems to be true indeed!" The Demon Race Demigod behind realized he still couldn't catch up to Ye Yunfei and couldn't help feeling a bit angry.
"You need to hurry up. I don't want to keep playing around with this guy." A few days later, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was getting a bit annoyed and sent a Sound Transmission to the secluding Ye Yunfei.
"Wait a bit longer. I'll be done soon." Ye Yunfei replied.
Inside the Phantom Tower.
Approximately five months later.
Ye Yunfei had already fused several hundred Heavenly Immortal-level magical treasures into his body, making them part of his physical form.
"Good. Physical strength has increased again considerably." Ye Yunfei clenched his fists, sensing his physical power, and smiled.
Last time, after Ye Yunfei refined the Stone God Pond, his physical strength had reached 180,000 Jiaos. Moreover, the special runes formed from the refined essence of the Stone God Pond had been engraved deep within his flesh, continuously nourishing his body, allowing its strength and quality to constantly improve.
"Now let's try Demigod-level magical treasures!" Ye Yunfei waved his hand, took out several dozen Demigod-level magical treasures, and muttered to himself. If he could refine these Demigod-level treasures, Ye Yunfei would have greater confidence in facing Demigod experts!
Then Ye Yunfei began attempting to refine the Demigod-level magical treasures.
Rumble…
Ye Yunfei discovered that when he began fusing with Demigod-level treasures, a large number of special runes within the depths of his body began to surface, swimming throughout various parts of his flesh in a most mystical manner.
"These are the runes contained within the Stone God Pond!" Ye Yunfei recognized them immediately, feeling pleasantly surprised.
The Stone God Pond was left behind by the legendary Stone God. Besides enhancing the body's quality and strength, it seemed to have even more wondrous uses.
Inside the Phantom Tower, another month passed imperceptibly.
"I've finally succeeded in fusing with one Demigod-level magical treasure! But this is just the beginning. I need to fuse with more!" Ye Yunfei said delightedly.
Another five months later.
"I've fused a total of ten Demigod-level magical treasures! However, it seems I've temporarily reached a bottleneck state." Ye Yunfei stopped cultivating the Transform Body into Artifact technique and spoke to himself.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei clenched both fists, and vast physical power surged out from within his body. The terrifying sound of power rumbled like the roar of an angered heavens.
"I barely reached 220,000 Jiaos of physical strength. It seems cultivating physical strength is becoming increasingly difficult." Ye Yunfei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Having fused so many Heavenly Immortal treasures and ten Demigod-level treasures, his strength had only increased by about 40,000 Jiaos. Ye Yunfei wasn't very satisfied with this result. But there was no help for it. The cultivation of physical strength typically became harder to advance the higher one went.
"However, it should be enough to deal with an injured initial-stage Demigod." Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
That injured Demon Race Demigod who was still chasing him was only at the initial-stage Demigod level!
"The strength of these Nine Divine Beasts has also improved somewhat." Ye Yunfei glanced at the Nine Divine Beasts and nodded.
"Good. Time to go out and meet that guy!" Ye Yunfei's figure flashed as he emerged from the Phantom Tower, standing beside the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"You're finally out! I'm exhausted. I can finally get some proper rest." The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said before diving into the Phantom Tower.
"Leave the rest to me." Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Then Ye Yunfei stopped and stood firm, slowly turning to look into the distance. The Demon Race Demigod was still in hot pursuit.
"Kid! Even with the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm helping you, don't think you can escape before me!" The Demon Race Demigod sensed Ye Yunfei and immediately roared.
"As you wish, I'm not running anymore. Let's have a proper fight." Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh.
While speaking, Ye Yunfei continuously tossed out a large number of formation flags, instantly setting up a sizable batch of formations.
Swoosh!
Seeing Ye Yunfei standing still, the Demon Race Demigod was overjoyed and caught up in a flash.
Rumble…
As soon as this Demigod caught up, he immediately released his devilish energy, enveloping the surrounding space, intending to seal it off and prevent Ye Yunfei from escaping again.
"Kid, can't run anymore?" The Demigod closed in on Ye Yunfei and stepped towards him, speaking coldly.
"It's not that I can't run. I just want to test exactly how capable a Demigod expert like you is." Ye Yunfei said calmly.
"Such an arrogant kid. You actually want to fight me? Just that attitude alone surpasses many youngsters. It's a shame that confidence without strength is called arrogance. You'll soon pay the price for your arrogance." The Demon Race Demigod walked closer and closer. His terrifying aura pressed towards Ye Yunfei like a tidal wave, causing the space around Ye Yunfei to begin shaking and even continuously distorting, as if unable to withstand the Demigod's fearsome presence.
