"How much longer until your tribulation ends? Things are looking very bad if this continues."
At this moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also felt the pressure, calling out to Ye Yunfei via sound transmission.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was fighting over ten Demigod experts alone—some Intermediate Demigods, some Initial Demigods. At first, he could manage, but later, as more and more Demigod experts kept joining the battle, he began to feel immense pressure and was forced into constant retreat.
If not for relying on his speed and spatial talent to dodge the attacks of those Demigod experts time and again, he might have been injured already.
Seeing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm besieged by so many Demigod experts in a critical situation, Ye Yunfei immediately released a Doppelganger Statue, which transformed into a clone and appeared beside the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
Ye Yunfei originally had nine Doppelganger Statues in total, but he only carried four with him now; the others were left in the Three Thousand Worlds of Different Sizes.
Although this clone's combat power was only half of Ye Yunfei's main body, it was more than enough to deal with those Intermediate and Initial Demigods.
With the aid of this clone, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm instantly felt the pressure lessen considerably.
"All you pests come over here, and die!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm became fierce and brave, unleashing a brilliant spatial secret technique of his race for sealing space. He directly suppressed a Initial Demigod, rendering him immobile, then charged over with a booming impact, blasting half of that Initial Demigod's body into pieces.
"Everyone be careful! His spatial cultivation is high, his speed is incredibly fast, and his strength is immense. Let's attack him together with combined force!" someone shouted loudly.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Over ten Demigod experts attacked simultaneously. Some threw their magic treasures, others used their proudest techniques or secret arts. Their combined assault instantly shattered the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's spatial sealing technique.
Facing the coordinated attack of so many Demigods, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm dared not face it head-on. Transforming into a streak of golden light, he teleported away from his original position, narrowly avoiding the combined assault of over ten Demigod experts.
"I'll face them head-on. You coordinate with me from the side, and we'll kill them together," Ye Yunfei said, speaking through the clone. Unwilling to let anything happen to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, he immediately had the clone stand in front of him.
Then, Ye Yunfei's clone unleashed the Myriad Swords Return to One technique, sending out over a dozen thick sword radiances in succession.
One after another, thick sword radiances cleaved through space, rumbling as they slashed toward the over ten Demigod experts.
All of them were forced back.
In the preceding period, Ye Yunfei had been using one of his Soul Power planets to cultivate sword techniques. Now, his Myriad Swords Return to One technique had reached the level of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Swords Returning to One.
Even the sword techniques executed by a clone posed a significant threat to ordinary Primary and Intermediate Demigods.
"How is this possible? This is just a clone of that brat, yet it possesses such formidable combat power!"
The over ten Demigods, forced back by Ye Yunfei's clone, were all deeply shocked. Of course, they could tell that this Ye Yunfei was merely a clone, because Ye Yunfei's main body had been standing all along beneath the roiling sea of thunder ahead, undergoing the tribulation.
"That young man named Ye Yunfei is truly a monster. His main body is undergoing the tribulation, yet just a few clones are holding off so many Demigod experts. And every single one of the beings around him possesses remarkable combat power. They number only four or five in total, but they are actually blocking this many Demigod experts!"
By now, the commotion here had long since attracted a huge number of onlookers. First were the inhabitants of this world, who, hearing the disturbance, came streaming in continuously. The very fact that so many Demigod experts were simultaneously attacking to stop a young junior from undergoing his tribulation was sensational enough to shock everyone.
Then, after word spread to other worlds within the Qiancang World Group, creatures from those places also rushed over swiftly.
Thus, more and more creatures gathered in the area where Ye Yunfei was undergoing his tribulation.
On the distant ground and high in the air, onlookers were everywhere.
Having heard the words of those Demigod experts, these spectators now knew of Ye Yunfei's identity and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
At this moment, at least forty or fifty Demigod experts were attacking and besieging, trying to stop Ye Yunfei's tribulation.
So many Demigod experts were launching fierce assaults from all directions, temporarily held at bay by Ye Yunfei's several clones, along with Hun Lao, Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and the others fighting together. It was few against many.
Although Ye Yunfei's side was fighting with great difficulty and had clearly begun to show signs of defeat, the fact that they could hold out for so long was already enough to leave everyone utterly astonished.
Keep in mind that among the Demigod experts launching the fierce attacks were several Advanced Demigods.
"I heard this Ye Yunfei is from the Three Thousand Worlds of Different Sizes. Though young, he's already quite famous in the Chaotic Void Sea!"
"It's said he specializes in provoking major powers and has already killed many people from various major factions. He's a ruthless character through and through!"
"Also, I heard he established a force called the Alliance Army. At least dozens of world groups have sent their forces to pledge allegiance to him and join the Alliance Army."
"His clones alone can fight Demigod experts, yet his main body's realm is merely that of a Peak Heavenly Immortal. This is utterly incomprehensible. I simply can't fathom how a Peak Heavenly Immortal's clones can fight Demigods. I think Ye Yunfei can no longer be described as monstrous, but rather as 'defying the heavens.'"
…
While marveling, the onlookers discussed fervently, and more and more various pieces of information about Ye Yunfei kept being brought up.
"Truly, each generation has its own talents, and new waves push the old ones forward. It seems our corner of the Void Sea will never lack young geniuses.
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, even if Ye Yunfei ultimately fails his tribulation or is slain here by those Demigod experts, his name is destined to spread throughout the entire Chaotic Void Sea. He will have made his name in a single fight!"
Some elderly beings, watching Ye Yunfei standing amidst the surging thunderbolts from afar, sighed softly and spoke.
"This young man is quite extraordinary. In the Chaotic Void Sea, his talent should rank within the top twenty. And it seems he's grown up relying on his own journey, without cultivation from any superpower or ancient forbidden land.
That he could rely on his own efforts and fortune to reach such a level is truly remarkable. Perhaps he is also one of the hopes of our corner of the Chaotic Void Sea.
Very well. From now on, I will pay more attention to him."
An old man hidden within space in the distance observed Ye Yunfei and spoke in an appreciative tone.
"However, I wonder if he can survive this tribulation safely."
The old man glanced at the dozens of Demigod experts surrounding Ye Yunfei and said softly.
"Master, I can hardly hold on any longer!"
At this moment, Hu Miao, besieged by over ten Demigod experts joining forces, felt immense pressure.
"Everyone, using Soul Power energy, Soul Power martial techniques, and Soul Power-type magic treasures is the most effective way to deal with illusions. Let's unleash our Soul Power attacks together and kill this fox."
Someone shouted loudly.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Fifteen or sixteen Demigod experts simultaneously released their Soul Power energy, merging it together like a rolling ocean, soaring into the sky, and then blasting toward Hu Miao.
A large swath of the illusions created by Hu Miao were instantly shattered.
Affected by the backlash, Hu Miao was forced to retreat repeatedly, her blood and qi churning within, her face growing somewhat pale.
Boom…
Seeing this, Ye Yunfei's main body, somewhat worried, immediately unleashed Soul Swords, simultaneously attacking those over ten Demigod experts.
Ye Yunfei's current Soul Power energy was already stronger than that of an ordinary Advanced Demigod. When used against those Primary and Intermediate Demigods, the power was of course terrifying. Several Initial Demigods screamed on the spot and were sent flying backward, crashing onto the ground in the distance, their faces instantly paling considerably.
Had those dozen-plus Demigod experts not just released their Soul Power energy together, which weakened the attack of Ye Yunfei's Soul Swords, at least one-third of them would have been severely injured, if not killed outright.
"Ye Yunfei, no matter how arrogant you are, you must die here today!"
At this moment, an old man suddenly flew over, accompanied by over ten Demigod experts, their killing intent soaring.
The leading old man was an Advanced Demigod.
"Experts from the Supreme Purity Sect have arrived!"
Seeing these over ten Demigod experts arrive, someone recognized their identity and called out softly.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The leading Advanced Demigod charged directly toward Ye Yunfei's main body. Nine golden long spears shot out from within his body, rapidly enlarging and instantly transforming into nine massive golden dragons. Each dragon brandished its claws and pounced at Ye Yunfei.
Yet another Advanced Demigod had arrived!
Hun Lao felt a headache coming on. He directly scattered a large number of branches and leaves, each transforming into a supple long whip, blocking the Advanced Demigod from the Supreme Purity Sect.
But by now, Hun Lao alone was already blocking three or four Advanced Demigods, and it was clearly a strain.
In fact, Hun Lao's offensive power wasn't particularly strong. He relied on ingenious spatial secret techniques to forcibly block the advance of those Advanced Demigods.
Those several Advanced Demigods felt the space ahead was forcibly sealed or distorted. Every step forward required enduring terrifying spatial pressure.
Furthermore, their various attacks were also forcibly suppressed by the space ahead.
"Everyone, do any of you know exactly what kind of treasure tree this is? It actually possesses such an ingenious mastery of spatial laws."
The Supreme Purity Sect's Advanced Demigod, finding his nine golden spears all forcibly suppressed by the space ahead, each inch of advance proving extremely difficult, couldn't help but be secretly shocked and spoke up to ask.
"I've never heard of any treasure tree in the world possessing such ingenious spatial cultivation. This treasure tree likely belongs to some extremely rare race."
Another Advanced Demigod beside him spoke.
These Advanced Demigods all regarded Hun Lao as a treasure tree, not thinking he was a Divine Tree.
Because if a truly massive Divine Tree were here, these Demigod experts wouldn't dare approach at all.
"Whatever race this treasure tree belongs to, no matter how strong it is, it can't possibly withstand our combined attacks.
We'd better hurry. That brat Ye Yunfei's thunder tribulation probably won't take much longer to end.
If he really succeeds in breaking through to become a Demigod, then wanting to kill him later will be much more difficult."
Yet another Advanced Demigod shouted loudly.
"Right. Ye Yunfei's thunder tribulation has already entered its latter stages. We must seize the time to stop him from continuing."
Hearing this, several Advanced Demigods all had subtle changes in expression, and someone spoke.
Then, all the Advanced Demigods stopped holding back, each going all out, employing every means at their disposal, forcing their way forward to attack.
Consequently, the pressure on Hun Lao increased even more. He was forced to retreat repeatedly, and many of his branches were snapped on the spot. For Hun Lao, having his branches snapped was equivalent to being injured.
"Ye Yunfei, I never thought you'd have a day like this. Your end has come."
At this moment, a voice as icy and sinister as could be suddenly rang out. Then, everyone saw an overwhelming surge of yin energy as over ten figures exuding an icy, sinister aura soared over. Each figure flickered slightly.
"Experts from the Great Netherworld have arrived too.
Heavens! So many Demigod experts from major powers have gathered here today, all just to deal with a Heavenly Immortal undergoing his tribulation. This is enough to shock the entire Chaotic Void Sea!"
Seeing Demigod experts from one major power after another arriving continuously, someone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
All ten-plus experts from the Great Netherworld were Demigods, led by one Advanced Demigod. The rest were Primary and Intermediate Demigods.
No sooner had the Great Netherworld's Advanced Demigod arrived than he immediately struck. A yellow banner streamed out from within his body, inscribed with one chapter after another of scriptures emitting a sinister, icy aura.
Each scripture resembled a ferocious ghost face, constantly wriggling.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The yellow banner emitted a powerful dark energy, soaring into the air as it pressed down toward Ye Yunfei.
The moment this yellow banner appeared, the temperature of a large area of surrounding space plummeted drastically.
"Will this ever end? Yet more Demigod experts have come!
This time, we might have overplayed our hand. Two fists really cannot defeat four hands.
Our numbers are so few, no matter how strong we are, we can't fight against so many of them."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, seeing the Great Netherworld sending another ten-plus Demigods, couldn't help but cry out in dismay.
In fact, by this time, aside from Ye Yunfei's main body, Hun Lao, Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and even Ye Yunfei's several clones were all beginning to struggle to hold on. The enemy simply had too many Demigod experts, and more were still arriving, continuously joining the battle.
Thud! One of Ye Yunfei's clones was struck simultaneously by over ten Intermediate Demigods, sending it flying backward.
"Ye Yunfei, do you still think you can continue your tribulation?"
The next moment, five or six Advanced Demigods jointly forced Hun Lao aside, then accelerated, charging toward Ye Yunfei.
"Is it finally time for my main body to act?"
Seeing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but darken his expression.
"Young Master Ye, hurry and complete your thunder tribulation! We, the Fire Clan, have come to aid you!"
Right at this moment, a loud roar rang out. Then, everyone saw a group of figures, their entire bodies blazing with raging flames, come rolling in like a tide.
A tall, imposing old man in the lead roared, holding a peculiarly shaped red greatsword ablaze with rolling flames. With a single slash, the area ahead transformed into a vast sea of fire, immediately forcing back two Advanced Demigods.
"Seniors of the Fire Clan, you've come!"
Ye Yunfei recognized these Fire Clan experts and cried out joyfully.
Among these Fire Clan experts were two Advanced Demigods!
Moreover, both Advanced Demigods possessed formidable combat power. Simultaneously attacking, they forcefully blocked the Advanced Demigods charging toward Ye Yunfei.
"Yes. We came to explore and seek treasures within that Reincarnation Passage.
We were actually about to return, but hearing word of you, we rushed here instead.
Young Master Ye, they have superior numbers. We can only temporarily and barely hold them off. The most crucial thing now is for you to seize the time to undergo your tribulation. Once you successfully break through, the situation will improve."
One of the Fire Clan's Advanced Demigods transmitted this message to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, I've come to aid you as well!"
Just then, another loud roar rang out from the distance.
Then, everyone saw a figure surrounded by roaring, churning ice and snow soar through the sky, landing not far in front of Ye Yunfei.
"Patriarch Ice, you've come too!"
Ye Yunfei recognized him at a glance. It was Patriarch Ice from the Ice-Snow World Group.
"Young Master Ye, I never expected you would be breaking through to become a Demigod so soon. Concentrate on your tribulation. With me here, I won't let them get a single step closer to you.
Unless they tread over my corpse."
Patriarch Ice turned his head and gave Ye Yunfei a smile. Then, with a wave of his hand, thousands upon thousands of transparent ice swords materialized before him. These ice swords simultaneously shot forward with a roar, directly forcing back several Demigod experts.
