"Young Master Ye, allow me to make an introduction. This Brother Ouyang is the leading figure in Qingzhou World. He is the venerable ancestor of the Eternal Vigor Gang in Qingzhou World and also the most prestigious and highest-caliber expert in this world."
Kong Lao noticed the green-robed elder's awkwardness and spoke to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, I am Ouyang Tao. On behalf of all living beings in Qingzhou World, I thank you for coming to our aid!"
The green-robed elder hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully to Ye Yunfei.
"We thank Young Master Ye for aiding our Qingzhou World!"
At that moment, the other powerhouses of Qingzhou World—nine Heavenly Immortals and a group of Golden Immortals—also arrived. Following Ouyang Tao's words, they all bowed to Ye Yunfei and chorused their gratitude.
"There's no need for such courtesy. I was merely acting in passing," Ye Yunfei nodded, responding mildly. With a wave of his hand, he sent forth a powerful surge of immortal force energy, lifting everyone from Qingzhou World back to their feet.
The Heavenly and Golden Immortals from Qingzhou World, sensing the immortal energy Ye Yunfei released, each privately marveled in astonishment. For a Golden Immortal to possess such terrifying immortal power was truly unprecedented in their experience.
"Now that all the Devil Race members in this world have been slain, let's move on to see other worlds," Ye Yunfei said, shifting his gaze to Kong Lao.
"Excellent, Young Master Ye. We shall continue to follow you to other worlds and slay the Devil Race. Let's revel in slaughter today!" Kong Lao answered immediately.
"Then let's not waste time," Ye Yunfei said, turning and departing.
"All forces from our Chunhua World, continue following Young Master Ye to kill Devil Race!" Kong Lao waved his hand and declared loudly to the troops from Chunhua World behind him.
"Brother Kong, wait a moment," Ouyang Tao hurriedly stopped Kong Lao.
"Brother Ouyang, what else is there?" Kong Lao turned back to look at Ouyang Tao.
Ouyang Tao immediately used sound transmission to speak to Kong Lao. After a few breaths, he then turned and communicated via sound transmission with the people of Qingzhou World behind him. Finally, seeming to have reached a decision, he quickly sped up to catch up with Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, the forces of our Qingzhou World are also willing to follow you to slay the Devil Race. Because of the Devil Race's invasion, all the major sects and families of Qingzhou World have suffered grievous losses. Our world holds an irreconcilable grudge against the Devil Race. Now that Young Master Ye has stepped forward to champion our cause, this is a rare opportunity for us to seek revenge. Please allow the forces of Qingzhou World to follow you!" Ouyang Tao performed a deep, respectful bow to Ye Yunfei and spoke in a pleading tone.
"Please allow the forces of Qingzhou World to follow Young Master Ye!"
The people of Qingzhou World crowded forward, all bowing to Ye Yunfei and calling out in unison.
"Senior, there is no need for such excessive courtesy. Very well, since that's the case, let us go slay the Devil Race together!" Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Many thanks, Young Master Ye!" Ouyang Tao was overjoyed.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei led the combined troops of the two worlds, departing from Qingzhou World in a grand procession and arriving in the void of the Qianfang World Cluster. Looking around, demonic energy rolled everywhere, accompanied by ear-piercing demonic sounds. Batch after batch of Devil Race forces chased down resistant creatures throughout the void of this world cluster.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand and unleashed a thick, brilliant sword beam. Rumbling loudly, it dragged surging waves of sword energy as it slashed toward the distant Devil Race forces. Ye Yunfei's current Myriad Sword Return to One Technique had already approached the level of Seven Hundred Thousand Swords Returning to One! After leaving the Three Thousand Worlds to undergo trials in the Chaotic Void Sea, Ye Yunfei had not neglected his cultivation of this sword art. Instead, he often used one of his Soul Bodies to meditate on and train in it, so his swordsmanship level had been consistently improving. The destructive power at the level of Seven Hundred Thousand Swords Returning to One was already terrifying.
Pfft, pfft, pfft... The thick sword beam was extremely fearsome. Wherever it passed, no Devil Race member could withstand it, nor could they react in time before being cleaved into puffs of bloody mist.
Then, Ye Yunfei waved his hand repeatedly, releasing several more thick sword beams in succession. The Devil Race forces fell like harvested wheat, collapsing in batches. Several Devil Race Heavenly Immortals, witnessing this scene, grew furious and charged toward Ye Yunfei with roars. Ye Yunfei took a single step, his speed reaching an extreme limit, then punched out, instantly annihilating those Devil Race Heavenly Immortals one by one.
"Too strong!"
The forces of Chunhua World and Qingzhou World, following behind Ye Yunfei, watched as he displayed his divine might, slaughtering batch after batch of Devil Race members. Their scalps tingled with awe. To them, those incredibly powerful Devil Race forces seemed so weak before Ye Yunfei, who slaughtered them all with casual movements. Moreover, the entire process appeared effortless for Ye Yunfei, as easy as swatting a few flies.
"Young Master Ye not only possesses immeasurable strength, his swordsmanship is also sublime. Such combat prowess is truly formidable! Brother Kong, what is Young Master Ye's origin? With talent and power like his, I suspect he must be some monstrous young talent from a major power or a great family in the Chaotic Void Sea, right? And he's most likely from one of those legendary ancient forces. Ordinary powers and families couldn't possibly nurture such a young monster!" Ouyang Tao discreetly transmitted a question to Kong Lao.
"Young Master Ye's origin, I don't know yet. Not long ago, our Chunhua World was invaded by the Devil Race. At our most desperate hour, Young Master Ye descended like a divine soldier, lending a hand and leading us to annihilate all the Devil Race invaders in Chunhua World. Then he brought us to your Qingzhou World! So, if you ask me about Young Master Ye's origin, I have no answer! However, regardless of Young Master Ye's background, encountering him is our fortune. I feel that if we can befriend him in the future, it would be akin to clinging to a great tree!" Kong Lao pondered, then replied.
"There's a battle in that world. Let's go over immediately."
Right at that moment, Ye Yunfei sensed intense combat occurring in a distant world. With a wave of his hand, he took the lead and charged toward that world.
"Let's keep up quickly, don't hold Young Master Ye back!"
Kong Lao and Ouyang Tao shouted in unison, leading their world's forces to hurriedly follow.
Before long, Ye Yunfei brought the forces of the two worlds into a world where a fierce battle was raging. A Devil Race army had invaded this world, and the native beings of the world were resisting with all their might, defending their homeland.
"This world's strength seems somewhat higher than that of Chunhua World and Qingzhou World!"
How formidable was Ye Yunfei's Soul Power? He quickly perceived the situation in this world clearly. Approximately seventeen or eighteen Heavenly Immortals from this world were leading the forces of various families and sects, desperately resisting the invasion of the Devil Race army. On the other hand, the invading Devil Race force had nearly thirty Heavenly Immortal experts. By comparison, the Devil Race's overall strength held the advantage, so their army had already gained the upper hand.
"Everyone, take action!"
After entering this world and grasping the situation, Ye Yunfei waved his hand and declared loudly. Then he charged toward the Devil Race forces at the forefront.
Huang Shang, Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and the Blood Clan Clone appeared simultaneously, each rushing to attack in different directions.
Ye Yunfei activated his Time Boots and arrived before a mid-level Devil Race Heavenly Immortal in a single step. He unleashed his Heart Force Lock, then punched out, directly turning that Devil Race mid-level Heavenly Immortal into a puff of bloody mist.
Next, Ye Yunfei exploded a Devil Race Heavenly Immortal with each step he took. After eight or nine consecutive steps, he had annihilated eight or nine Devil Race Heavenly Immortals. In an instant, the Devil Race's Heavenly Immortal experts were reduced by nearly one-third.
"What are we waiting for? Let's all join in and slay the Devil Race!"
Kong Lao and Ouyang Tao, seeing Ye Yunfei's ferociousness, were greatly inspired and roared simultaneously. Then they led the troops of their two worlds in a rolling charge toward the Devil Race forces.
"Ouyang Tao! Kong Fang! It's the forces of Qingzhou World and Chunhua World coming!"
The people in this world, seeing Ouyang Tao and Kong Lao leading the forces of two worlds to charge in and assist, felt their spirits lift. Then the troops of the three worlds fought desperately against the Devil Race forces, disregarding their own safety.
Ye Yunfei, meanwhile, specifically targeted the Devil Race Heavenly Immortals. Hu Miao, Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and the Blood Clan Clone did the same, all setting their sights on Devil Race Heavenly Immortals first.
During this period, Huang Shang had refined and absorbed the soul energy of many Heavenly Immortal Soul Bodies, even absorbing a portion of a Demon Race Demigod's soul energy. He now possessed the strength to easily battle a Perfected Heavenly Immortal. The Blood Clan Clone had likewise absorbed the blood essence of many Heavenly Immortals during this time and also completely absorbed a Demon Race Demigod's blood essence, causing his power to skyrocket.
Hu Miao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had experienced successive breakthroughs and upgrades in their bloodlines during this period, each gaining immense increases in power and awakening several new racial divine abilities. They fought Devil Race Heavenly Immortals with great ease.
After a moment, those Devil Race Heavenly Immortals were severely battered, suffering heavy casualties.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Immortal experts from the three worlds led their subordinates to deal with Devil Race forces below Golden Immortal level, finding it quite manageable.
Thus, in a short time, the situation in this world was completely reversed. Previously, the Devil Race army had held the upper hand, but now, they were being slaughtered until they fled in utter disarray.
Approximately half an hour later, the battle in this world ended.
Most of the Devil Race forces that invaded this world were killed, with only a small fraction escaping.
The Heavenly Immortals of this world had witnessed Ye Yunfei's power in the previous battle—fist after fist, continuously exploding Devil Race Heavenly Immortals—and were filled with utmost admiration for his strength. Thus, they all treated Ye Yunfei with great respect.
When Ye Yunfei prepared to lead the forces of Chunhua World and Qingzhou World to continue slaying Devil Race in other worlds, the Heavenly Immortals of this world came forward one after another, requesting to follow Ye Yunfei and join the fight against the Devil Race.
Ye Yunfei did not refuse, and so another world's forces fell in behind him.
In the following period, Ye Yunfei led these world forces to battle the Devil Race throughout the Qianfang World Cluster, slaughtering batch after batch of Devil Race troops. Eventually, more than ten worlds' forces were following Ye Yunfei in a grand procession.
Because the forces led by Ye Yunfei grew increasingly numerous and had killed so many Devil Race members, they finally attracted the attention of all Devil Race forces in the Qianfang World Cluster.
All Devil Race members ceased invading and slaughtering, instead focusing on Ye Yunfei and the army he led.
Batch after batch of Devil Race troops began converging from different directions, surrounding the army led by Ye Yunfei.
"It's that young man! He's the one leading the resistance of the beings in the Qianfang World Cluster against our Devil Race!"
"They've rebelled! First, kill that young man!"
...
One Devil Race power after another locked their gaze on Ye Yunfei.
"Wait! This human youth looks very familiar! Ah! I remember! It's actually him! Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Worlds!"
Suddenly, a Devil Race powerhouse recognized Ye Yunfei. Shocked, he pointed at Ye Yunfei and shouted.
After recognizing Ye Yunfei, the expressions of those Devil Race powerhouses drastically changed.
Not long ago, Ye Yunfei and Patriarch Ice had joined forces to kill a Demon Race Demigod. The Demon Capital dispatched an old shaman skilled in divination, who eventually determined it was Ye Yunfei and Patriarch Ice who had done it. The fall of a Demigod caused an uproar in the Demon Capital. Many Devil Race members became aware of this incident! Now, these Devil Race powerhouses suddenly encountering Ye Yunfei were both startled and furious.
The most powerful strength within the Devil Race army invading this Qianfang World Cluster was at the level of Perfected Heavenly Immortals of the Nine Returns to True Immortal grade. Yet, in the minds of these Devil Race members now, Ye Yunfei was a terrifying existence who had once killed a Demigod! Therefore, after recognizing Ye Yunfei, none of those Devil Race powerhouses dared to charge forward to deal with him for the time being.
"Immediately send messages to headquarters, inform them that Ye Yunfei has appeared!"
Those Devil Race Heavenly Immortals transmitted sounds among themselves, then each took out message jade slips and began sending messages.
"Those guys have recognized you," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Odd. Many of these Devil Race fellows seem afraid of you," Hun Lao added.
"Probably because the Devil Race already knows about me cooperating with Patriarch Ice to kill that Demon Race Demigod," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and quickly guessed the reason.
"Most likely the reason," Hun Lao answered.
"Young Master Ye, there are so many Devil Race!"
Kong Fang stood beside Ye Yunfei and whispered.
At this time, Kong Fang, Ouyang Tao, and the Heavenly Immortals from the other worlds all stood behind Ye Yunfei, with a grand army composed of a dozen worlds following at the rear.
Meanwhile, all Devil Race forces in the Qianfang World Cluster had now concentrated, confronting the army led by Ye Yunfei.
"Ye Yunfei! Why do you always oppose our Demon Capital? Are you truly not afraid of incurring the towering wrath of our Demon Capital?" A Perfected Devil Race Heavenly Immortal of the Nine Returns to True Immortal grade stepped forward and shouted at Ye Yunfei.
"Because your Devil Race provoked me, and I find your Devil Race's cruelty and tyranny intolerable," Ye Yunfei swept his gaze over the Devil Race forces opposite and said flatly.
"Ye Yunfei! Do you truly think our Devil Race fears you? Our Demon Capital is one of the most ancient, inherited major powers in the Chaotic Void Sea! Making enemies of our Demon Capital will ensure you face eternal pursuit and slaughter by our Devil Race!" That Devil Race Perfected Heavenly Immortal roared in fury.
"Are you trying to delay for time? Unfortunately, I won't give you that chance. You're all going to die!"
Ye Yunfei laughed coldly, then declared loudly.
Boom!
As his words fell, Ye Yunfei activated his Time Boots and charged toward the opposing Devil Race army at astonishing speed.
Huang Shang, Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Blood Clan Clone, and his nine divine beasts appeared simultaneously, joining Ye Yunfei as they charged forward.
Boom! Boom!
The commotion caused by Ye Yunfei and his companions charging forward together was immense, instantly shaking this area of void violently.
"Follow Young Master Ye! Kill the Devil Race together!"
Behind them, the Heavenly Immortals of more than ten worlds roared together, then led the grand army, surging forward behind Ye Yunfei in a fierce charge.
