"Old thing, you're scared, but there's no escape for you. Prepare to die!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly accelerated, stepping forward to close in on Elder Fang and launching another furious attack.
"Old thing, weren't you just going on and on about killing me? Now show me what you've got."
In an instant, Ye Yunfei unleashed his most lethal techniques at top speed, laughing wildly as he attacked Elder Fang as if his life depended on it.
After arriving earlier, Elder Fang had immediately taken the lead in dealing with Ye Yunfei, putting immense pressure on him. With this opportunity now in hand, Ye Yunfei naturally wanted to settle the score properly.
Elder Fang appeared utterly miserable, having to cope with the endless torrent of fearsome thunderbolts while fending off Ye Yunfei's crazed assault.
Bang!
A moment later, in a moment of carelessness, Elder Fang was sent flying high by a strike from Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei shadowed him closely, quickly giving chase, and after a few moves sent Elder Fang flying once again.
During this process, Ye Yunfei was also struck several times by Elder Fang.
However, relying on his tough physical strength, Ye Yunfei withstood Elder Fang's attacks forcefully, only retreating a dozen or so steps.
At this moment, all the treasures Ye Yunfei had previously fused materialized on the surface of his body, releasing torrents of treasure energy to tightly protect his internal organs.
Moreover, all of his Human Body Secret Realms were stimulated within him, continuously rushing forth with physical power that empowered his flesh.
What pleasantly surprised Ye Yunfei even more was that as his body endured relentless attacks from the fearsome thunderbolts, those Human Body Secret Realms actually released a rich life force, rapidly repairing his body.
So this is the marvelous function of the Supreme Circadian Forging Body Technique! Ye Yunfei felt delighted, sensing the thick life force constantly pouring forth from those Human Body Secret Realms within him.
Originally, Ye Yunfei's body, having endured so many thunderbolt strikes, was quite severely damaged, particularly its surface, which was riddled with pitted wounds. Many wounds were already so deep that bone could be seen. They were all scorched pitch-black like charcoal, emitting wisps of smoke, and even the bone within had turned black as charcoal.
But the Supreme Circadian Forging Body Technique kept releasing more and more life energy, continuously repairing him from the inside out. Ye Yunfei felt his injuries gradually beginning to heal.
Bang!
Amid the fierce battle, Elder Fang was once again struck and sent flying by Ye Yunfei.
At this point, Elder Fang's body was completely charred like a blackened stick of charcoal, identical to Ye Yunfei's state. The clothes on his surface had long been completely destroyed by the lightning.
Now, Elder Fang had lost all will to fight; he only wished to quickly leave this place and find somewhere secluded to heal his wounds.
"Ye Yunfei, you just wait. I will definitely take revenge for today," Elder Fang said.
Elder Fang's body suddenly burst into flames. He was employing a forbidden secret technique that could temporarily overdraft his potential and forcibly elevate his strength—burning his origin essence blood. Instantly, Elder Fang's combat prowess increased significantly.
But he had no intention of continuing the fight with Ye Yunfei. Instead, he turned and fled into the distance.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Ye Yunfei roared.
Rumble...
A flying sword soared into the sky, trailing thick waves of sword energy as it slashed toward Elder Fang.
"What level treasure is this sword? It can actually threaten me?!" Elder Fang, sensing the aura radiating from the flying sword, couldn't help but secretly marvel.
In his current state, he simply didn't dare to meet it head-on.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Elder Fang waved his hand, tossing over a dozen treasures backward while simultaneously activating them.
Yet the flying sword surged forward, directly slicing the dozen or so treasures to pieces.
Demigod-level treasures, in the face of this flying sword, seemed like they were made of paper—utterly incapable of withstanding a single blow.
The flying sword pierced through the air and through space, instantly slashing toward the back of Elder Fang's head.
Elder Fang's face drastically changed. Acting hastily, he threw a punch backward toward his head.
Bang!
Elder Fang's fist directly exploded. Then, one of his arms was also slashed by the flying sword and exploded into a mist of blood.
In truth, during the previous fighting, many parts of Elder Fang's body had been smashed by Ye Yunfei, only to be reconstituted afterward.
He was now greatly weakened. His immortal energy, origin essence blood, Soul Power, Soul Body energy, and more had all been consumed in immense quantities.
Even more terrifying was the enormous Lightning Tribulation following Ye Yunfei, relentlessly striking his body with torrents of thunderbolts.
The horrifically powerful, thick lightning strikes were becoming increasingly unbearable for him.
"Old thing, you're dead today," Ye Yunfei laughed wildly. With a point of his finger, the flying sword spun back and cut Elder Fang's other arm to pieces.
Even fiercer raging flames ignited on Elder Fang's body as he began frantically burning his origin essence blood.
Faced with Ye Yunfei's terrible attacks, although filled with fury to the point of madness, under these circumstances he simply did not dare to turn around and fight desperately with Ye Yunfei.
He knew he must leave this place; otherwise, he would suffer even greater injuries—he might even perish here.
Because Ye Yunfei's lightning strikes remained as fierce and terrifying as ever, showing no signs of stopping.
"When will this kid's tribulation lightning finally end?" At this moment, Elder Fang even hoped Ye Yunfei's Lightning Tribulation would conclude more quickly.
Even though the end of the tribulation would mean a successful breakthrough, generally speaking, beings who passed their tribulation and succeeded in their breakthrough would have a period of weakness. They would quickly find a place to recuperate and solidify their realm, not immediately seeking further battles.
So, Elder Fang actually hoped Ye Yunfei's Lightning Tribulation would end soon—then he might have a chance to flee.
Bang!
Elder Fang's body was once again sent flying by a punch from Ye Yunfei.
"Heh heh, kid, now it's my turn."
Just as Ye Yunfei, murderous intent overflowing, wanted to charge forward to deliver another punch, a cold, sneering laugh rang out.
Then, Ye Yunfei discovered three strange-looking Devil Race beings suddenly appearing, releasing a vast sea of chilling aura that surged toward him like three oceans of cold.
All three were Demigod experts from the Heart Devourer Race!
"These guys really just never give up!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown.
During the previous battle, these Demigod experts from the Heart Devourer Race had attempted to attack him.
Later, when Ye Yunfei provoked his tribulation and increased its power, all the Demigod experts were scared away, and these Heart Devourer Race Demigods had hidden themselves amidst the chaos.
But they hadn't left. Instead, they concealed themselves nearby, looking for an opportunity to target Ye Yunfei.
The Heart Devourer Race was most adept at using negative emotions and energies for sneak attacks. Moreover, before launching an attack, they would generally hide nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Thus, the Heart Devourer Race was particularly skilled at concealing their traces.
These Heart Devourer Race Demigods had been concealed within nearby space—and even Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the others hadn't noticed them. One could imagine just how masterful their concealment technique was.
But Ye Yunfei's Mental Force energy level had significantly increased some time ago, making him unafraid of these Heart Devourer Race Demigods.
Hiss!
With a single thought, Ye Yunfei unleashed an invisible Mental Sword, simultaneously attacking the three Heart Devourers.
Boom!
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also unleashed a Soul Sword, coordinating with the invisible Mental Sword to attack the three Heart Devourers.
Ye Yunfei had discovered long ago that using Mental Force energy to deal with the Heart Devourer Race was highly effective.
When paired with the Soul Sword, the three Heart Devourers immediately paled in terror.
"Careful! We must be cautious. This kid's Mental Force energy is truly terrifying!"
Those Heart Devourers, feeling the attack, retreated repeatedly. Their race indeed tended to be apprehensive of Mental Force energy attacks.
"Ye Yunfei, you just wait. I will definitely get revenge for today!"
At that moment, Elder Fang suddenly escaped into the distance, leaving behind a furious roar before disappearing directly into space.
As it turned out, even though those Heart Devourers' attacks hadn't really affected Ye Yunfei, they ultimately allowed Elder Fang to seize the opportunity, employ an extremely clever movement technique to instantly put a considerable distance between himself and Ye Yunfei, and then run away with all his might.
"You three are so very helpful."
Ye Yunfei knew that Elder Fang was now disregarding all costs to run desperately. Not only was he burning his origin essence blood, but his Soul Body was even overdrawing its power. Therefore, his speed was exceptionally fast. Chasing after him now might not yield certain pursuit.
After all, a Perfected Demigod still possessed some remaining reserves!
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei turned and charged toward the position of those three Heart Devourers.
"Oh no! We must flee! That kid is charging over here with his tribulation!"
When those three Heart Devourers attacked Ye Yunfei earlier, they hadn't entered the range of his Lightning Tribulation but remained right at the edge of it, so they weren't caught up in it.
Now that Ye Yunfei suddenly charged toward them, the tremendous Lightning Tribulation also moved toward that position. How could those three Heart Devourers dare withstand Ye Yunfei's tribulation lightning? They were scared and fled immediately.
"There's no escape!"
Ye Yunfei used the invisible Mental Sword, Soul Sword, and also the Heart Demon Bell, attacking the three Heart Devourers' Soul Bodies while putting all his effort into pursuing them.
Those three Heart Devourers fled desperately while performing their race's secret techniques, using negative emotions and energies to attack Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei immediately felt a sky-filling, crushing wave of cold energy.
This cold energy consisted entirely of negative energies and emotions, capable of influencing—even controlling—living beings' emotions.
But Ye Yunfei's Soul Power was formidable. Moreover, he had two Soul Bodies and several Soul Power planets, along with his Soul Nourishing Tree. He wasn't affected in the slightest.
Coupled with the dense, destructive thunderbolts wreathing his surroundings, those cold energies and negative emotions were instantly annihilated upon entering the range of the Lightning Tribulation.
"This fellow is too frightening. Even the Perfected Demigod from the Heavenly God Hall wasn't his match. The three of us definitely can't defeat him!"
By now, those three Heart Devourer Demigods were somewhat regretting provoking Ye Yunfei of their own accord. Sensing the sky-filling, earth-obliterating thunderbolts following Ye Yunfei behind them, they were already trembling with fear.
Rumble...
Just as Ye Yunfei carried the massive Lightning Tribulation to hunt those three Heart Devourer Demigods, a gigantic peak appeared high in the sky not far away. It radiated terrifying suppression energy that traversed the tremendous thunderstorm, descending to crush Ye Yunfei.
Thick lightning strikes continuously struck this peak, yet couldn't cause any damage.
"Bad! That's likely a Deity-Level Treasure. Although its true power hasn't been awakened, your tribulation lightning can't harm it. Be careful," Hun Lao was the first to warn, as he sensed this giant peak was most likely a Deity-Level Treasure.
Rumble...
That massive mountain peak rolled forth, its horrifying suppression energy forcing Ye Yunfei's body to sink downward. He almost couldn't withstand it.
In alarm, Ye Yunfei hurriedly used his movement technique to retreat backward.
"Boy, never did I expect an era could give birth to a prodigy like you. This truly shows a new Deity Age is arriving. Yet, you won't have the chance to welcome this newly arrived Deity Age."
Just as Ye Yunfei retreated, a cold voice sounded behind him. Then, Ye Yunfei sensed a huge black net suddenly appearing behind him, sweeping toward him.
This black net was densely inscribed with mysterious runes. Within the raging Lightning Tribulation, it wasn't affected in the slightest, as if the thick lightning strikes were merely transparent air.
The black net whistled forward, on the verge of trapping Ye Yunfei within it.
"Careful! This is also a Deity-Level Treasure!" Hun Lao hurriedly yelled to alert Ye Yunfei.
"I can sense there are some individuals hiding in the surrounding space—with malicious intent," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"I'll help you avoid this net." Hun Lao suddenly appeared beside Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei immediately summoned the Thunder Beast to stand by Hun Lao's side, helping him resist the massive thunderbolts.
In fact, this Thunder Beast had been continuously devouring thunderbolts throughout the preceding Lightning Tribulation, never stopping. Consequently, this Thunder Beast's power had increased significantly compared to before.
With the Thunder Beast's aid, Hun Lao remained unaffected by the surrounding lightning. He directly performed a highly profound spatial secret technique of their race.
One saw him extend many fresh, emerald-green branches, turning them into azure longswords that forcibly cleaved the small patch of space Ye Yunfei occupied. Then, this isolated piece of space was directly teleported away from its original location.
Thus, that large black net ended up striking at nothing.
"What kind of spirit tree is this? To possess such profound spatial cultivation!"
A figure appeared behind the large black net, speaking with shock.
Rumble...
Just then, a massive golden bell appeared in the sky above Ye Yunfei. This giant golden bell radiated expanding rings of golden ripples descending to trap Ye Yunfei below.
"This is yet another Deity-Level Treasure!" Hun Lao cried out in alarm.
Three Deity-Level Treasures were attacking Ye Yunfei!
"Be careful. Those who attacked all have extraordinary origins," Hun Lao warned Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei, already on guard because of the mountain peak and black net's attacks, immediately reacted upon the appearance of the giant golden bell overhead. With a thought, his flying sword shot skyward and clashed directly with the giant golden bell.
Dang!
A tremendous metallic collision rang out, deafening and thunderous. Waves of sound power shook a vast area of surrounding space.
At this moment, the giant mountain peak, the large black net, and the golden giant bell all erupted with terrifying energies.
Moreover, these energies were stronger than that of a Perfected Demigod.
Three Deity-Level Treasures whistled toward Ye Yunfei. Ye Yunfei controlled the flying sword, sending it forward to separately collide with the three Deity-Level Treasures.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Three great booms sounded. Ye Yunfei was shocked to discover his flying sword was knocked flying backward.
"Truly three Deity-Level Treasures!" Ye Yunfei hurriedly retreated.
Rumble...
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei sensed a tall, slender young man appear behind him. This young man had towering brows and skin as fair as jade, with an uncommon demeanor. He held a longsword of archaic shape in his hand, slashing it toward Ye Yunfei.
Instantly, the sky was filled with dazzling blades of light. Even those fearsomely powerful lightning bolts were sliced into pieces by these bright, glittering radiances.
"Be careful! That sword in that youngster's hand is also a Deity-Level Treasure!" Hun Lao sensed the longsword in the young man's grasp, gasped, and immediately warned Ye Yunfei.
"I feel it, too," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"And his sword techniques are quite formidable," Ye Yunfei added.
Rumble...
One radiant blade after another tore through space, aimed directly at Ye Yunfei's body.
Ye Yunfei hurriedly urged his flying sword to meet them. The flying sword blocked the fearsomely powerful sword blades one after another.
"He really is powerful!" Ye Yunfei found his flying sword couldn't gain any advantage at all; on the contrary, it was continuously battered and shaken by those frightening blades.
"Where did this guy come from?" Ye Yunfei was somewhat stunned, feeling the opponent's combat power appeared as strong as his own, if not stronger.
At that moment, the other three Deity-Level Treasures also attacked menacingly.
Behind those three Deity-Level Treasures appeared three young men. One of them Ye Yunfei immediately recognized as someone he had previously encountered outside the Fire World.
After parting ways with Cui Hong and leaving the Fire World, Ye Yunfei had encountered a group of young geniuses outside the Fire World.
Those young geniuses had wanted to take action against Ye Yunfei. However, Ye Yunfei quickly left using a Formation.
Among those young geniuses was one claiming to hail from the Desolate Forbidden Lands.
That self-proclaimed scion of the Desolate Forbidden Lands was present right now!
