After creating distance from the four Intermediate Demigods, Ye Yunfei pointed a finger. From the surrounding Chaotic Void, five or six Earth Formations and a large batch of other Formations began to move swiftly, closing in to surround those six Intermediate Demigods.
Simultaneously, a great number of yellow earthen walls began to materialize continuously. Within moments, the void in this area was filled with these yellow walls, densely packed and overlapping to form a massive labyrinth.
This enormous labyrinth enclosed the four Intermediate Demigods.
Ye Yunfei stood in the distance, watching the four Intermediate Demigods with a placid gaze.
In truth, given Ye Yunfei's current overall strength, engaging an Intermediate Demigod in battle wouldn't be very difficult. However, facing four of them together, Ye Yunfei didn't want to enter into any uncertain fight.
Standing afar, Ye Yunfei manipulated those Earth Formations and arrays, continuously besieging and isolating the four Intermediate Demigods.
A short while later, the four Intermediate Demigods had been successfully separated from each other.
Finding themselves surrounded by Earth Formations and other arrays, the four Demigods were furious and shocked. They unleashed their full power, desperately trying to shatter the surrounding Formations and break free.
However, the might of the Earth Formations Ye Yunfei had now deployed was extremely potent. Combined with so many other powerful arrays, they trapped the four Intermediate Demigods securely, making escape impossible for them in the short term.
"Now, we can begin. We'll start with you," Ye Yunfei said coldly, his gaze falling upon the Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod.
An Earth Formation materialized beneath his feet. It was a teleportation Earth Formation, instantly transporting Ye Yunfei directly in front of the Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod.
This Dark Faction Demigod had already broken five or six of the Formations around him. A perilous Earth terrain he was attacking at full strength had also begun to show cracks, the land beneath it fracturing and collapsing under his onslaught.
After all, he was an Intermediate Demigod; his combat prowess was still formidable.
Arriving before this Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod, Ye Yunfei immediately attacked without a word.
First, he unleashed over a dozen thick beams of sword radiance, intertwining them into a dazzling net of sword light that swept forward, slicing through the space ahead like shattered glass, instantly fragmenting it.
"What terrifying swordsmanship!"
Seeing the glittering sword net surging toward him, the Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod felt his hair stand on end and hastily dodged aside.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei's main body, incredibly swift, took a single step and appeared with uncanny suddenness behind the Demigod, then threw a punch.
All the Human Body Secret Realms within him activated simultaneously. A vast, mighty force gathered on his fist, causing space to tremble and rumble.
His physical strength combined with the power of those internal Secret Realms granted Ye Yunfei terrifying power.
The enormous fist descended like an ancient, divine mountain—immeasurably heavy.
The Dark Faction Demigod hurriedly brought up his guard, meeting the blow with a punch of his own in haste.
Boom…
When their fists collided, it was like two unbearably heavy divine mountains crashing together. Instantly, the surrounding space underwent a massive-scale collapse, and one energy mushroom cloud after another soared into the air.
The void itself seemed to boil over completely due to their fierce clash.
Facing an Intermediate Demigod, Ye Yunfei held nothing back. Physical strength, immortal energy, swordsmanship, heart energy, Soul Power—all sorts of energies were unleashed almost simultaneously, complemented by various high-level techniques and secret arts. For a time, Ye Yunfei appeared like an invincible Demigod himself.
"Damnation! How can a mere Heavenly Immortal possess such terrifying fighting ability!"
The Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod, caught in the tempestuous onslaught of Ye Yunfei's attacks, became somewhat flustered, both shocked and enraged.
As an Intermediate Demigod, he would normally regard any Heavenly Immortal he encountered with utter disdain—as an ant beneath notice.
"So this is what true cross-realm combat looks like! I have to admit, this Ye brat is indeed one of the most monstrous young geniuses in the entire Chaotic Void Sea!"
While fending off Ye Yunfei's attacks with his full strength, the Dark Faction Demigod marveled inwardly.
"The Ye brat intentionally separated us so he could attack us one by one!"
Watching this scene, the other Intermediate Demigods realized Ye Yunfei's plan.
"He already possesses combat strength capable of facing an Intermediate Demigod! It seems we underestimated him once again!"
The three Devil Race Intermediate Demigods watched Ye Yunfei battling the Dark Faction Demigod, pressing his advantage step by step and vaguely gaining the upper hand. Their expressions became extremely grave.
Demon Capital had dispatched three Intermediate Demigods this time, believing it should be enough to handle Ye Yunfei. Now, these three Demon Race Demigods understood they had truly underestimated him again.
"We must regroup as soon as possible if we hope to deal with Ye Yunfei! Hurry, everyone, break these damned Earth Formations and arrays with your full power!"
One of the Demon Race Demigods transmitted a voice message to the other two.
Then the three Devil Race Intermediate Demigods launched into an even more frenzied assault on the Formations.
At this moment, the Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod, under Ye Yunfei's relentless attacks, was beginning to lose ground step by step.
During the fight, Ye Yunfei continuously stimulated the surrounding Earth Formations and arrays, using them to augment his combat style, gaining wings to a tiger, becoming fiercer and more courageous as the battle progressed.
The fighting ability of this Dark Faction Demigod was actually quite formidable. He displayed various inherited secret arts of the Dark Faction in combat, earning Ye Yunfei's silent admiration.
Nevertheless, Ye Yunfei's technique was ultimately superior.
When the battle reached its most intense point, Ye Yunfei waved his hand, consecutively releasing several dozen thick beams of sword radiance that weaved together into a dazzling sword net slicing horizontally. He combined this with Heart Force Lock, Formless Heart Sword, Soul Sword, Soul Force Planets, and other various attacks, leaving the opponent no room to evade.
*Boom…*
Ye Yunfei unleashed a Heavenly Dao Palm imbued with the principles of five great Daos, descending from above to suppress his foe.
*Boom! Boom!*
Two enormous golden orbs of light shot forth from Ye Yunfei's dantian, transforming into two huge Fire Ravens that pounced forward to slay.
"Ah…"
Under such an onslaught of savage attacks, the Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod finally couldn't withstand it. With a pained cry, he was sent flying backward.
*Boom Boom…*
A succession of solid yellow earthen walls began to move swiftly, crisscrossing, each bearing the weight of tens of thousands of jun, relentlessly chasing down the Dark Faction Demigod.
One of the key properties of Earth energy and Earth Law was its immense weight. Each of these yellow walls was terrifyingly heavy.
"Ye brat, I'll fight you to the death!"
Spitting out mouthfuls of blood, the Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod roared furiously. Opening his mouth, he expelled a large black bow, stained with alluring, shimmering vital blood essence. With a twang of the bowstring, a crimson arrow shot toward Ye Yunfei.
"What a powerful artifact!"
Ye Yunfei's heart skipped a beat as he sensed the threat. He immediately performed the Land-Walking Art, summoning four or five Earth Formations and dozens of other arrays from the surroundings to cluster around his body.
At the same time, countless yellow earthen walls emerged, erecting themselves before him.
*Roar! Roar!*
Dozens of yellow Earth Dragons manifested densely, blocking the path in front of Ye Yunfei.
*Boom… Boom…*
That crimson arrow, carrying a terrifying energy and locked onto Ye Yunfei, surged forward, blasting through yellow earthen wall after wall as it came. Sharp and unyielding, it pierced through Earth Formation after Earth Formation and array after array, like maggots burrowing into bone, homing in relentlessly on Ye Yunfei.
"That bow is extremely potent!"
Ye Yunfei's eyelids twitched.
Ye Yunfei activated his Time Boots while simultaneously activating one teleportation Earth Formation after another, constantly shifting his position.
However, the crimson arrow continuously altered its direction, relentlessly pursuing him.
"That bow seems to have locked onto your soul aura!" Hun Lao cried out in surprise.
"I've taken a liking to that bow!"
Looking at the large black bow in the Dark Faction Demigod's hand, Ye Yunfei declared.
In the next instant, Ye Yunfei unleashed Heart Force Lock, Formless Heart Sword, Soul Sword, and Soul Force Planets, attacking simultaneously.
The Dark Faction Demigod had already been injured from Ye Yunfei's earlier strike. His body now stiffened, a look of horror dawning on his face.
The Formless Heart Sword, Soul Sword, and two Soul Force Planets were encircling his Soul Body within his Soul Sea, forcing him to abandon any further attempts to use the bow against Ye Yunfei. Instead, he had to mobilize all his Soul Power to protect his Soul Body.
"You can go die now." Ye Yunfei seized the chance, closing in before him, speaking coldly.
*Boom boom…*
Over a dozen thick beams of sword radiance and two devastatingly heavy fists struck simultaneously, smashing into the Dark Faction Demigod's body.
*Bang!*
In the next instant, the Demigod's body blew apart in an explosion, a rain of gore, shredded flesh, and debris scattering everywhere like a sanguine downpour.
"Aaaah!"
The Soul Body of the Dark Faction Demigod shot out from the rolling crimson mist, desperately fleeing toward the distance.
"Intermediate Demigods are indeed harder to kill than Initial Demigods."
Ye Yunfei remarked to himself.
Earlier, Ye Yunfei had finished off those Initial Demigods in just a few moves. Killing this Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod had taken noticeably more time and required using all sorts of techniques, martial arts, and methods.
*Boom! Boom!*
Two Soul Force Planets blocked the path of the fleeing Soul Body.
Huang Shang also appeared, releasing a billowing haze of ghostly mist. Together with the two Soul Force Planets, they coordinated their attacks against the Dark Faction Demigod.
Meanwhile, the Blood Clan Clone appeared swiftly, performing the Bloodsucking Art to absorb the Essence of Bloodline from this Dark Faction Demigod.
Huang Shang had refined and absorbed a vast amount of high-quality Soul Bodies recently, growing steadily stronger. By now, even when facing Intermediate Demigods, his performance was impressive.
Before long, under the combined assault of the two Soul Force Planets and Huang Shang, this Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod finally couldn't hold out anymore. A scream escaped him as his Soul Body shattered.
"Truly worthy of being an Intermediate Demigod! The quality of his Soul Body is superb!"
Refining and absorbing the energy from the Dark Faction Demigod's Soul Body, Huang Shang felt an exquisite satisfaction and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"This bow is not bad at all. It belongs to me now."
After killing the Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod, Ye Yunfei took possession of the large black bow. Holding it in his hands and examining it, he found it almost too precious to set aside.
"Refine it directly!" Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
He then began performing an incantation to refine the black bow.
*Boom…*
Ye Yunfei released a mighty torrent of Soul Power energy, pouring it into the depths of the black bow. Quickly, he located a Soul Power imprint inside—the one left by the Dark Faction Demigod.
Ye Yunfei erased that imprint and then etched his own Soul Power imprint in its place, effortlessly completing the refinement of the bow.
"So this bow requires not only refinement but also tempering with its master's Origin Essence Blood to unleash its maximum power."
After refining the black bow, Ye Yunfei discerned the method for using it.
He immediately spat out a large quantity of Origin Essence Blood onto the black bow.
A martial artist's Origin Essence Blood contained the essence of their entire being, making it extremely precious. Using it to temper artifacts often produced unexpected, wondrous results.
*Hummm…*
Upon absorbing Ye Yunfei's Origin Essence Blood, the black bow trembled incessantly, with a myriad of unique runes rising and swirling over it.
"Now this bow is completely mine."
Ye Yunfei felt a profound connection forming with the black bow, an ethereal sense of harmony linking it to his heart's core.
"Not good!"
At this moment, seeing the Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod slain, the three Devil Race Intermediate Demigods turned ghastly pale in shock and fear.
If Ye Yunfei could kill a Dark Faction Intermediate Demigod, that meant he possessed the ability to kill them as well.
These three Demon Race Demigods now regarded Ye Yunfei with overwhelming trepidation. They were genuinely afraid!
"Now, it's your turn."
With his confidence bolstered after killing an Intermediate Demigod, his fighting spirit boiling over, Ye Yunfei turned and strode confidently toward one of the Demon Race Demigods.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!…*
Under Ye Yunfei's command, a large number of Earth Formations and other arrays surged from all directions, laying siege to the targeted Demon Race Demigod.
This Demon Race Demigod had already broken through quite a few Earth Formations and arrays, believing he would escape soon. He never expected an even greater number of Formations would now encircle him. Fear and anger warred in his heart.
"Brothers! Ye Yunfei is coming for me! Come assist me quickly!"
Having witnessed Ye Yunfei slay the Dark Faction Demigod with his own eyes, and now seeing him charging his way, the Demon Race Demigod panicked, turning pale as he shouted aloud.
However, under Ye Yunfei's orchestration, an even greater number of Earth Formations and arrays, seemingly endless in number, surged to trap the other two Demon Race Demigods as well, harassing and obstructing them.
When Ye Yunfei first laid these Earth Formations and arrays, he had already prepared them specifically to deal with Primary and Intermediate Demigods. Ye Yunfei understood that the great powers of the Chaotic Void Sea would never let him off the hook.
"Let's try this bow first."
Approaching the targeted Demon Race Demigod, Ye Yunfei suddenly halted. At this distance, shooting an arrow should produce the optimal effect.
Ye Yunfei pulled back the bow, taking aim at the Devil Race Intermediate Demigod.
The black bow held seven crimson arrows, all normally concealed within the bow's interior. Whenever the master pulled the bowstring, the seven arrows would automatically attach themselves to the string in rotation—very convenient.
Moreover, the arrows would automatically return after being shot; no retrieval was needed.
*Twang!*
Ye Yunfei drew the bowstring and released. A crimson arrow instantly shot forth, carrying an utterly terrifying power, streaking through the void with a piercing whistle.
As the arrow was flying, Ye Yunfei discovered he could completely control its speed and direction with his mind.
"Get away from me!"
The Devil Race Intermediate Demigod was concentrating on breaking the Earth Formations and arrays. Seeing the crimson arrow whistling toward him, his expression changed drastically. Immediately, he raised a Devil Race blade, meeting the incoming arrow head-on.
*Clang!*
The arrow was deflected.
Sparks flew in a magnificent display.
The Demon Race Demigod felt a jolt travel up his arm and inwardly felt shocked.
"Good bow! Again!"
Ye Yunfei laughed heartily and drew the bow again.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!...*
One crimson arrow after another flew continuously toward the Demon Race Demigod.
"Damn it! Roar!..."
That Demon Race Demigod had no choice but to constantly raise his blade to block the incoming arrows. Curses erupted from him repeatedly, his state growing increasingly frantic.
"Not bad at all! An artifact capable of dealing with Intermediate Demigods! Being able to obtain such a treasure… you've truly picked up a piece of good fortune."
Hun Lao remarked cheerfully.
