"Let's take action. His Lightning Tribulation has reached its most critical stage. We can't let him continue any further, otherwise he will truly succeed in transcending the tribulation."
A tall, burly man, with four battle beasts flanking him, strode forward and spoke coldly.
"Ye Yunfei, know who I am. I am a member of the Zhan Family. You've killed many of our Zhan Family members. Today, I'll have a proper reckoning with you."
This man was as sturdy as a steel pagoda, his black hair wildly dancing, his entire body well-muscled, giving off a sense of wild beauty and domineering presence, brimming with aggression, like a fierce beast ready to choose its prey.
This was an intermediate Demigod from the Zhan Family, and the few battle beasts accompanying him were also all at the intermediate Demigod level.
This was equivalent to several intermediate Demigods approaching Ye Yunfei together.
In fact, quite a few Demigod experts from the Zhan Family had already arrived, each carrying several battle beasts.
"Ye Yunfei!
Was it you who killed my son, Shen Jie?
The enmity for killing my son is irreconcilable. Today, I will definitely pound your bones to dust, then make your Soul Body into an eternal lantern, forever burning, so you suffer endless torment forever!"
At that moment, a middle-aged man charged over, his face filled with grief and indignation, his gaze fixed fiercely on Ye Yunfei as he roared.
"So, this is Shen Jie's father."
Ye Yunfei glanced at the middle-aged man, thinking to himself.
Shen Jie's father was a junior Demigod.
As a junior Demigod, Ye Yunfei naturally didn't pay him any mind.
"Ye Yunfei, prepare to die!"
Shen Jie's father soared through the air, summoning a golden great seal that radiated rolling golden light and towering golden talismans, illuminating a vast expanse of space.
*Clang!*
A verdant tree branch shot across the sky, shimmering with cyan light, colliding with that golden seal. It sent the seal flying backward immediately.
*Shiiing!* After knocking the golden seal away, the verdant branch pierced through space, instantly arriving right in front of Shen Jie's father.
*Boom!*
Enraged, Shen Jie's father threw a punch, colliding with the verdant branch. He didn't believe he couldn't handle a mere branch.
But the result left him utterly shocked.
His fist instantly shattered, exploding into a mist of blood, leaving only half a wrist bone, dripping with blood.
This was, of course, Hun Lao making his move!
"A big tree!"
At that moment, an Advanced Demigod appeared, coming up behind Shen Jie's father. Seeing a towering giant tree materialize not far away, with an old face on its thick trunk, he was somewhat surprised.
"What kind of tree is this?
An ordinary precious tree shouldn't be able to emanate such dense and astonishing life energy. Could it be one of the legendary divine trees?
If it truly is a divine tree, that would be truly astounding!
But how could a divine tree help a youngster like Ye Yunfei?
However, it probably isn't a real divine tree. If a real divine tree were here, I'd probably have to flee immediately.
It should be a relatively rare treasure tree."
This Advanced Demigod was somewhat astonished. For a moment, he suspected Hun Lao might be one of the legendary divine trees, but quickly dismissed that suspicion, believing Hun Lao to be some kind of treasure tree.
"Father, that tree's strength is a bit terrifying."
Shen Jie's father said to that Shen Family's Advanced Demigod.
It turned out this Advanced Demigod was Shen Jie's grandfather, a core elder of the Shen Family and quite famous even throughout the entire Chaotic Void Sea.
"This should be some kind of rare treasure tree.
I'll capture it and transplant it in our Shen Family headquarters. It could elevate the level of our headquarters' space, and this treasure could also provide our Shen Family with a steady stream of life energy."
Shen Jie's grandfather stared at Hun Lao, his gaze somewhat feverish.
*Boom…*
Shen Jie's grandfather took a single step, releasing a surge of immortal power that made the entire space boil.
He was the first Advanced Demigod to take action in this battle.
*Rumble…*
A five-story pagoda shot out from within his head. The five stories each had a different color, radiating numerous profound talismans as it pressed down towards Hun Lao.
*Boom!*
While deploying the five-story pagoda against Hun Lao, Shen Jie's grandfather also threw a palm strike. A massive palm imprint materialized, continuously expanding as it blasted towards Ye Yunfei, aiming to disrupt his tribulation transcendence.
"Humph!
This fellow is targeting me!"
Hun Lao understood Shen Jie's grandfather's intention and couldn't help but feel furious.
*Rumble…*
Hun Lao unleashed a sophisticated racial spatial secret technique, forcibly distorting the space ahead, forming a massive spatial vortex that blocked the five-story pagoda, attempting to swallow it.
Simultaneously, Hun Lao scattered dozens of thick branches, each containing astonishing spatial energy and spatial laws. Wherever they passed, they directly caused space to continuously warp and deform.
Dozens of thick branches swept horizontally towards Shen Jie's grandfather, radiating rolling cyan light and emitting an exceptionally dense life aura, dazzlingly beautiful and intoxicating. Yet, within such rich life aura, they also contained lethal offensive power, suppressing a vast expanse of space.
"What kind of treasure tree is this? It seems to excel in spatial energy and spatial laws!
It can even threaten someone like me!"
Feeling Hun Lao's attacks, Shen Jie's grandfather's face slightly changed.
However, as an Advanced Demigod and a high-ranking elder of the Shen Family, he had his own pride. Under such circumstances, he couldn't possibly retreat.
*Boom…*
A long whip appeared in his hand, releasing aura that could shatter the heavens, pulverizing the space ahead as he contended evenly with Hun Lao's assault.
*Rumble…*
Hun Lao cast out even more thick branches, fiercely battling against Shen Jie's grandfather.
Shen Jie's grandfather had been entrenched at the Advanced Demigod realm for a very long time, his true combat power already close to that of a Perfected Demigod.
Hun Lao's strength had greatly increased recently, but suddenly facing an old-hand Advanced Demigod was a bit stressful.
However, Hun Lao was highly proficient in spatial energy and laws, so even if he couldn't win, his life wouldn't be in danger.
"Take action!
Stop that brat from transcending his tribulation!
Let him turn to ashes amidst this thunderous tribulation!"
At that moment, dozens of Demigod experts acted together, charging towards Ye Yunfei from all directions.
"Focus on transcending your tribulation, I'll deal with them!"
Huang Shang unleashed ghost arts, erupting with surging ghostly mist that rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping a vast area.
Countless vengeful spirits and malicious ghosts emitted ear-piercing wails within the mist. Some weaker beings only felt their Soul Bodies swaying unsteadily as if drunk.
*Boom… Boom…*
Then, one ghost wall after another appeared continuously, densely packed, sealing off the area. In just a few breaths, they transformed this space into a ghostly realm teeming with towering ghostly mist, swarming ghostly figures, and densely layered ghost walls.
Having refined and absorbed many Demigod experts' Soul Bodies recently, Huang Shang had no fear of Demigods at all. With a single move, he held back over a dozen Demigods.
Huang Shang employed various ghost cultivator techniques, launching fierce attacks.
"It's a ghost cultivator!
Damn it, this brat actually has so many terrifying experts by his side!
And they are either ancient beasts, or ghost cultivators, or treasure trees—all rare and extremely troublesome races!"
Several Demigods held back by Huang Shang cursed angrily.
The combat power unleashed by so many Demigod experts gathered together was naturally formidable.
However, Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, Hun Lao, and the Blood Clan Clone were no weaklings themselves. Each belonged to a rare race and cultivated their own racial heritage techniques, with remarkably strong combat power.
"Everyone, what are you waiting for?
I heard this lad Ye Yunfei is arrogant and unruly in nature, with eccentric behavior, cruel and bloodthirsty, having provoked many major powers and great families. But he's quite slippery and skilled at fleeing, so he has survived until now.
Today is the best opportunity to kill him!
If we let him succeed in his tribulation and become a Demigod, the difficulty of killing him will greatly increase.
So, let's take action."
At that moment, Shen Jie's grandfather was entangled by Hun Lao, and it would be difficult for him to break through in a short time to deal with Ye Yunfei. Moreover, he still wanted to capture Hun Lao to transplant back at the Shen Family headquarters. Seeing more and more Demigod experts gathering around, he spoke loudly.
At this time, many Demigod experts from other major powers had yet to make a move.
"Fine, everyone, let's act together, kill that Ye Yunfei brat. No matter what, we absolutely cannot let him become a Demigod.
With his talent, if he becomes a Demigod, it will indeed be very difficult for us to kill him."
An Advanced Demigod from the Dark Faction declared loudly.
*Rumble…*
Holding a black sickle in his hand, he swung it, causing the space ahead to continuously shatter, with endless fragments of time and space wildly scattering.
*Boom…*
Hun Lao scattered another batch of several dozen thick branches, blocking this Advanced Demigod from the Dark Faction.
"This Ye Yunfei brat truly is excessively arrogant. Many members of our Demon Race have also been killed by him. Today, I will take his life, letting the world know that major powers like ours are not to be trifled with."
An Advanced Demigod from the Demon Race spoke slowly, his tone icy, his towering demonic form striding step by step towards Ye Yunfei.
*Boom…*
A massive fist surged out from within this Advanced Demigod's body, demonic light billowing, as he struck from afar towards Ye Yunfei.
Another Advanced Demigod had made his move.
At this time, Ye Yunfei stood amidst the boundless heavenly thunder, wholly focused on transcending his tribulation.
*Whoosh!*
A figure appeared, holding a longsword. With a single slash, numerous thick sword beams shot forth, whistling as they intercepted that demonic fist.
This was a Clone simulated by Ye Yunfei using a Doppelganger Statue.
However, this clone only possessed half of Ye Yunfei's main body's strength, or even less.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!…*
The sword beams unleashed by Ye Yunfei's Clone continuously hacked onto that demonic fist, sparks flying in all directions.
"Just a clone, yet able to execute such formidable sword arts!"
That Advanced Demigod from the Demon Race's face slightly changed.
The fist he had sent out was struck until sparks flew, and he even felt a faint pain.
It was a clone belonging to a mere perfect Heavenly Immortal. For it to cause him pain was simply unbelievable!
"Ye Yunfei, you truly are monstrously talented. No matter what, we can't let you continue living."
This Advanced Demigod from the Demon Race looked somewhat gloomy as he spoke coldly.
He had naturally heard of Ye Yunfei's various exploits before.
Actually, he used to be somewhat skeptical, always thinking that as just a junior with Heavenly Immortal strength, however strong, there were limits. Perhaps the previous legends about Ye Yunfei were exaggerated.
But now, facing Ye Yunfei personally, he finally understood just how monstrous this human youth before him truly was.
*Rumble…*
Finally, this Advanced Demigod from the Demon Race unleashed his full power. His left hand grasped a giant hammer, his right hand held a demonic seal, and behind him materialized an ancient demon deity phantom. Endless spatial and temporal laws whirled and danced around his body, his aura intimidatingly powerful.
*Boom…*
As this Advanced Demigod from the Demon Race charged forward, space seemed about to fall apart. Terrifying sounds and blazing demonic light caused this entire area of space to completely boil.
Talismans of the Demon Race danced wildly throughout the sky.
"Yet another powerful Advanced Demigod!"
Seeing this, Hun Lao couldn't help but inwardly fret.
Ye Yunfei's Clone fought with all its might against this Advanced Demigod from the Demon Race, soon feeling immense pressure.
Nevertheless, Ye Yunfei's Clone did not retreat a single step, brandishing its longsword, continuously executing the Sword Convergence Supreme Art, complemented with various other secret arts, fighting fiercely.
"Hehe…
It's only a clone, yet possesses such combat power. Ye Yunfei, I must say, you truly are a monstrously talented young man rarely seen in the world.
But unfortunately, your life is soon about to end."
At that moment, an Advanced Demigod from the Demonic Race suddenly appeared, speaking coldly.
*Rumble…*
As soon as his words fell, this Advanced Demigod from the Demonic Race directly took action. A strange-shaped demon blade appeared in his hand, demonic light soaring to the heavens. With a single slash that seemed to split the earth in two, carving through space, it was blindingly radiant.
*Whoosh!*
Another Clone of Ye Yunfei appeared, simultaneously summoning over a dozen Demigod-level magic treasures to block the attack.
This clone was also simulated using a Doppelganger Statue, possessing only half of the main body's strength.
*Rumble…*
This clone said nothing and directly launched its attack, engaging in battle with that Advanced Demigod from the Demonic Race.
"Master, the situation is turning unfavorable. Dealing with so many Advanced Demigods is quite difficult!"
Seeing one Advanced Demigod after another continuously making their moves, Hu Miao couldn't help but send a secret message to Ye Yunfei.
"Difficult or not, we must hold our ground.
My Lightning Tribulation is more than halfway through; it cannot be stopped now."
Ye Yunfei replied bitterly.
In fact, at this point, Ye Yunfei's two Clones were already being forced back step by step.
Moreover, as more and more Demigod experts continuously joined the battle, the pressure on Hun Lao, Huang Shang, Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and the Blood Clan Clone was also growing greater, the situation becoming increasingly dire.
Up to now, at least thirty or forty Demigod experts had taken action!
Ye Yunfei's side had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Even worse, there were even more Demigod experts preparing to make their move.
Because this Qiancang World Group originally possessed many Demigod experts.
Furthermore, many major powers had recently sent numerous Demigod experts to the Qiancang World Group to explore and search for treasures within that Reincarnation Passage.
Thus, the Qiancang World Group had gathered a large number of Demigod experts.
Most of them had grievances with Ye Yunfei!
The only thing Ye Yunfei felt fortunate about was that no Perfected Demigods had arrived.
That was because recently, many divination masters within the Chaotic Void Sea had predicted that a new Era of Deities was about to arrive, with Deities eventually appearing.
Thus, most Perfected Demigods had secluded themselves in seclusion, striving hard in cultivation, seeking to break through their realms and ascend to become Deities!
Under such circumstances, no Perfected Demigod was willing to waste time meddling in other matters; reaching the Divine Deity realm was of paramount importance!
