"Young Master Ye, this world is also one of the more important territories of the Shen Family within the Qiancang World Group.
All the industries within this entire world belong to the Shen Family. It's said that an elder with the strength of an Advanced Demigod from the Shen Family resides here."
A short while later, Ye Yunfei appeared in another world within the Qiancang World Group. A Heavenly Immortal from the Alliance Army reported to him.
This world was larger in scale than the previous one, and its overall strength seemed somewhat greater.
"Proceed. Plunder everything of value in this world. As for the members of the Shen Family, show no mercy," Ye Yunfei said after examining the world before him.
Some time ago, the Shen Family, as a powerful force within the Chaotic Void Sea, had dispatched armies to conquer numerous other world clusters. During that process, they had killed countless innocent beings, accumulating a mountain of blood debts.
Now that Ye Yunfei had come to settle accounts with the Shen Family, he naturally felt no pity.
In the world of martial artists, killers will eventually be killed. There was nothing more to say.
Last time, when Ye Yunfei was undergoing his Lightning Tribulation, his discovery by members of the Shen Family had immediately led to a horde of Demigod experts besieging him. If he hadn't eventually turned calamity into fortune, he and his companions might have been the dead ones by now. Thus, Ye Yunfei had no intention of sparing the Shen Family.
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, and the others immediately emerged from the Phantom Tower. Leading members of the Alliance Army, they began their operation.
Including the Blood Tribe clone and the several avatars Ye Yunfei had simulated using substitute statues, they all moved together.
"Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, did your bloodline successfully upgrade?"
Seeing the dragon silkworm brimming with energy, Ye Yunfei felt pleasantly surprised and asked immediately.
Previously, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had been focusing on upgrading his bloodline inside the Phantom Tower.
"Of course it succeeded! I refined so many Divine Crystals. If the upgrade hadn't worked, wouldn't that have been a waste?" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cried out.
Although the number of forces Ye Yunfei led was relatively small, each member was immensely powerful and exceptionally fast.
Individuals like Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang could traverse the entire world almost within moments.
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, in particular, possessed astonishing sensory abilities for all kinds of treasures. With a slight release of his Soul Power, he could detect where the valuable treasures were hidden within this world. Even deeply concealed treasures couldn't escape his senses. Wherever he found treasures, he would charge directly in and begin looting.
A Initial Demigod from the Shen Family charged out from a resplendent, golden palace, just as Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm arrived at the palace gates.
The Shen Family's Initial Demigod was both shocked and furious upon seeing the Dragon Silkworm. Before he could even utter a word, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm rammed through his body and charged into the palace behind him.
This palace was used by the Shen Family to temporarily store cultivation resources ready to be distributed to clan members. Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm naturally had no reservations, rushing inside to snatch everything piled within.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei sensed his surroundings and soon detected an Advanced Demigod in a particular location within this world. A cold smile touched his lips as he employed his movement technique, arriving moments later at the cultivation site of this Advanced Demigod—a rather unremarkable-looking palace.
Although this palace seemed inconspicuous, it was protected by numerous highly advanced Formations, creating layers of defense.
The Shen Family's Advanced Demigod usually secluded himself for cultivation within this palace.
The Shen Family was a large clan, and many of its members didn't typically reside at the headquarters but held their own territories and domains outside.
This world was the territory of this Advanced Demigod of the Shen Family, whose father was the son of a core elder of the clan, occupying a world as his personal dominion.
With a slight probe, Ye Yunfei deciphered the multiple layers of Formations outside the palace. He strode inside and stood before the Advanced Demigod within before the latter even had time to react, looking at him coldly.
"Brat, who are you?"
The Shen Family's Advanced Demigod suddenly found a stranger standing before him. Shocked and enraged, he immediately stood up and demanded.
"I'm here to take your dog-life!" Ye Yunfei stated bluntly, throwing a punch directly.
Not long ago, Ye Yunfei had fused with several hundred Perfected Demigod-level magic treasures, making his physical strength even more formidable than before.
The punch he threw unleashed a terrifying physical force that instantly sealed the space ahead.
Feeling the horrifying physical power contained within Ye Yunfei's fist, the Advanced Demigod's expression drastically changed.
"How is this possible? Just who is this brat? Why is his physical strength so terrifying? He's actually a threat to me!"
The Advanced Demigod desperately retreated, trying to escape the suppression of Ye Yunfei's physical power.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei's mind stirred, deploying his Soul Sword, Soul Force Star Method, Invisible Mind Sword, and Mental Force Chains simultaneously. These two soul force martial techniques and two mental force martial techniques assaulted the Advanced Demigod's Soul Body, heightening his panic.
He realized that before this unknown young man, he had no ability to fight back.
Although he had practiced various advanced techniques and secret arts of the Shen Family, his body was currently suppressed and his Soul Body under terrifying attack. For a moment, he didn't know how to resist, overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness.
*Boom!*
The next moment, Ye Yunfei's fist struck the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod. The horrific physical force instantly covered his body with a dense web of cracks, blood seeping profusely from every fissure.
"How could this be? I spent who knows how many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and put in endless effort to train this body! And now he nearly shattered it with just one punch!"
The Advanced Demigod was horrified and disbelieving.
Throughout his life, he had always focused heavily on body tempering. The quality and strength of his physique were both excellent.
In combat, he had often relied on his physical quality and strength to defeat many experts of the same realm. Yet now, he never expected to be reduced to such a state by a single punch from a mere junior.
"Brat, who are you really? I am a Shen Family elder! Why have you barged into my cultivation abode to attack me? You are challenging our entire Shen Family!"
The Advanced Demigod, both shocked and furious, turned and fled toward the palace exit. As he did, he angrily questioned.
This particular Advanced Demigod of the Shen Family typically stayed secluded in this world, disliking travel and involving himself minimally in clan affairs. Consequently, he knew little about Ye Yunfei, not even possessing Ye Yunfei's Soul Body aura or appearance data.
Of course, Ye Yunfei wasn't currently displaying his true Soul Body aura either.
"Enough nonsense. Just die," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
With a wave of his hand, he slashed out several thick sword beams, hurtling toward the fleeing Advanced Demigod.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?! It's too tyrannical!"
Feeling the formidable sword beams, the Advanced Demigod hurriedly tossed several magic treasures behind him as a shield while desperately fleeing into the distance. He now had absolutely no courage left to confront Ye Yunfei.
The initial exchange alone had left his body riddled with cracks from just one punch.
"You can't escape," Ye Yunfei said with a faint smile.
Ye Yunfei then activated his movement technique. In just two steps, he closed the distance and caught up with the fleeing Shen Family Advanced Demigod. He continued throwing punches, accompanied by soul force and mental force techniques, overwhelming the Advanced Demigod, rendering him utterly helpless.
In reality, Ye Yunfei's current cultivation had reached the Initial Demigod realm, and his Immortal Force energy was already approaching that of an Advanced Demigod. Therefore, even if he used Immortal Force-based techniques, Ye Yunfei could now face an Advanced Demigod head-on.
When combining techniques powered by his various other energy types, Ye Yunfei could completely overpower an average Advanced Demigod.
"Time to die."
Moments later, Ye Yunfei delivered a punch that blasted the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod into bloody chunks.
"Aaaah... Brat, just you wait! I will remember you! I will have my revenge!"
The Advanced Demigod roared with grief and indignation. Being beaten so miserably for no reason filled him with seething rage. Moreover, his attacker was just a junior, making him feel overwhelmingly humiliated.
Now, his physical body had been destroyed, leaving only his Soul Body filled with terror.
"You won't get any chance for revenge," Ye Yunfei sneered.
The moment his words fell, eight Soul Force Planets and the Soul Sword launched a simultaneous assault, violently smashing toward the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod.
With only his Soul Body remaining, the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod dared not confront Ye Yunfei. His sole thought was to escape as quickly as possible, pushing his strength to the limit to flee at maximum speed. He even began burning Soul Body energy in an attempt to overdraw his potential.
"Heh heh... You're not getting away."
Suddenly, surging ghostly mist and endless rows of spectral walls materialized ahead, dense and countless, instantly sealing this expanse of void like a massive labyrinth.
Next, Huang Shang's obsidian-black ghostly form appeared. In his right hand, he held a pitch-black chain radiating a peculiar energy aura. He swung it forward, sweeping toward the Soul Body of the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod.
"A Ghost Cultivator!"
The Shen Family's Advanced Demigod was terrified.
He knew Ghost Cultivators were reputed as the bane of Soul Bodies and all spectral entities, and were extremely fearsome.
In his current Soul Body state, encountering a Ghost Cultivator was exceptionally dangerous.
What's more, that terrifying expert, Ye Yunfei, was still hot on his heels.
*Boom! Boom!*
A dozen or so soul force-type magic treasures suddenly shot out from within the Advanced Demigod's Soul Body. They activated simultaneously, tightly protecting his Soul Body—his final trump card.
However, such methods were insignificant to Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang.
After just a few exchanges, this Shen Family Advanced Demigod's Soul Body was half-crippled by their combined efforts and subsequently devoured by Huang Shang.
"His combat power wasn't much, but his escape speed was pretty decent," Ye Yunfei chuckled, shaking his head.
If this Advanced Demigod had dared to face Ye Yunfei directly, Ye Yunfei would have killed him much sooner.
"Master, there are seven Demigods from the Shen Family in this world in total: five Initial Demigods, one Intermediate Demigod, and one Advanced Demigod.
Now, all have been killed.
All the valuable things in this world have been collected by me and Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm."
Hu Miao came to report to Ye Yunfei.
During the battle where Ye Yunfei underwent his tribulation, Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, and Hun Lao had each faced several or even a dozen Demigod opponents, managing quite impressively. Now, facing only six or seven Demigods total, plus Ye Yunfei's involvement, the task felt significantly easier. In just a short while, most of the Shen Family members in this world were eliminated.
"Good. Let's move on."
Ye Yunfei nodded and immediately teleported everyone back into the Phantom Tower. He then activated his spatial teleportation plaque to depart.
He had already sensed a large group rapidly approaching this world. Undoubtedly, Shen Family forces were arriving.
*Roar! Roar!*
Shortly after, furious roars echoed throughout the world as a large contingent of Shen Family members charged in. Witnessing the corpses or bloody remains of their clansmen scattered about sent them into a frenzy of rage.
In the following period, Ye Yunfei continuously appeared in one Shen Family-controlled world after another, directly killing, plundering, and looting. Wherever he went, he essentially exterminated and cleaned out everything.
Apart from the weak elderly and young children, Ye Yunfei showed no mercy or pity for ordinary Shen Family clansmen, killing them upon encounter.
"Damn it! WHO DID THIS?! Who dares destroy our Shen Family's industries and kill our Shen Family members?! Investigate! Launch a full investigation immediately! Deploy personnel to conduct a carpet-style, thorough search of the Qiancang World Group. Find the culprit!"
Within Shen Family headquarters, their elders kept receiving reports: worlds controlled by the Shen Family were being invaded one after another, their clansmen nearly wiped out, all valuables essentially plundered!
For the Shen Family, this was unprecedented!
Throughout their history, no force or individual powerhouse had dared provoke the Shen Family so brazenly.
Ultimately, most of the forces stationed at Shen Family headquarters, along with Shen Family experts and troops garrisoned elsewhere, were mobilized. Checkpoints were established everywhere across the Qiancang World Group in an intense search for the perpetrator.
The Shen Family's actions quickly drew the attention of other major powers throughout the Qiancang World Group, prompting their own investigations.
Soon, news of what happened in the Shen Family-controlled worlds spread rapidly, causing a huge stir.
"Someone is invading the Shen Family's territories all over the Qiancang World Group, slaughtering their members, and looting their assets!
This is truly audacious! To actually dare provoke the Shen Family like this!"
Members of other major factions in the Qiancang World Group were utterly shocked.
"I've heard the main culprit is an unfamiliar young man! That young man leads a group, each member immensely powerful. The Shen Family is simply no match at all.
It's said the Shen Family already has Advanced Demigods fallen!" someone stated.
"A young man? How is that possible?" Those hearing this shook their heads in disbelief.
"Could it be that young man? Has he returned?"
Suddenly, someone recalled the sensational event that occurred not long ago within the Qiancang World Group: a young man attempting to break through to the Demigod realm, attracting dozens of Demigod experts trying to stop and kill him.
In the end, that young man had succeeded!
"Could it really be that young man returning to settle accounts with the Shen Family?" someone murmured softly.
"Clan Leader, it must be that Ye Yunfei behind this.
He's come seeking revenge against our Shen Family!"
Within Shen Family headquarters, a family sorcerer performed a divination technique. Through it, he vaguely discerned Ye Yunfei's aura and reported his findings.
