"The quality of these two Heart-Devouring Demons' Soul Bodies is quite good. After fusing with them, the energy level of my own Soul Body has increased noticeably," Ye Yunfei said with a pleasant surprise, sensing his current Soul Power energy.
"Alright, now that the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are safe, we can depart."
Ye Yunfei arrived before Xiao Ziming and the others and spoke.
Then, Ye Yunfei left the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, taking thirty Demigods and a selection of Alliance Army troops.
Ye Yunfei teleported everyone into the Illusory Shadow Pagoda, then utilized a Spatial Teleportation Token to continuously travel through the Chaotic Void.
"Young Master Ye, I suggest our targets for this campaign should primarily be the enemies of our Alliance Army. Our Alliance Army is composed of forces from many different world clusters. Our homelands have all been occupied by those major powers. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This time, we'll focus on getting our revenge," Xiao Ziming transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"Senior Xiao, I had the same thought," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Before long, Ye Yunfei arrived outside a world cluster. With a wave of his hand, he brought out all the Alliance Army troops he had brought from the Illusory Shadow Pagoda.
The Alliance Army forces, led by thirty Demigod experts, fanned out and stood behind Ye Yunfei, emanating overwhelming energies that caused the surrounding void to begin trembling.
The simultaneous energy pressure release from over thirty Demigods was a truly terrifying spectacle.
Ye Yunfei nodded slightly. Unconsciously, the overall strength of the Alliance Army was constantly improving.
"Kong Lao, we've returned to the Qianfang World Cluster," Ye Yunfei said with a smile to Kong Lao, pointing at the world cluster ahead.
"Yes, we're back," Kong Lao replied, his voice slightly choked up as he looked at the familiar world cluster before him.
Because the Qianfang World Cluster was his home. Previously, when the Demon Capital army invaded, Kong Lao, along with other major powers within the cluster, had banded together to resist. But they were no match. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Yunfei arrived to assist and defeated the Demon Capital army invading the Qianfang World Cluster.
Later, after deliberation between Kong Lao and other high-ranking members of Qianfang's major powers, they led the Qianfang World Cluster's forces to follow Young Master Ye.
"After we left, the Demon Capital indeed sent people back to occupy our Qianfang World Cluster," Kong Lao said, gritting his teeth as he saw Demonic Qi soaring everywhere within the Qianfang World Cluster.
In fact, Kong Lao had long since sent people back to investigate and knew that the Qianfang World Cluster had now become a branch stronghold for the Demon Capital.
The Demon Capital had erected numerous temples within the Qianfang World Cluster and was forcing all living beings in the cluster to worship at them regularly.
"Everyone, Young Master Ye has brought us back to fight!
This time, we must teach those Demon Race bastards a lesson and make them understand that our Qianfang World Cluster is not to be trifled with. Those who bully our Qianfang World Cluster must pay the price!" Kong Lao turned and loudly declared to a group of his men standing behind him.
After joining the Alliance Army, those originally from the Qianfang World Cluster still fell under Kong Lao's command and were normally led by him.
Hearing Kong Lao's words, the Qianfang World Cluster troops all shouted excitedly in unison.
"Let's begin," Ye Yunfei said, smiling.
As soon as Ye Yunfei finished speaking, Kong Lao immediately waved his hand, leading the Alliance Army forces in a grand charge into the Qianfang World Cluster.
Thirty Demigod experts, combined with a large elite force from the Alliance Army, formed a powerfully strong collective.
This Qianfang World Cluster, now serving as a branch stronghold for the Demon Race, was garrisoned by a total of about eight or nine Demigod experts from the Demon Race.
For the Alliance Army, this level of power was far too weak.
Hearing the commotion, the Demon Race Demigod experts emerged one after another. But before they could even figure out what was happening, they were swarmed by the Alliance Army's thirty Demigod experts who launched a frenzied attack.
The weaker Demon Race Demigod experts were slaughtered within moments.
The three or four relatively stronger Demon Race Demigods, besieged by the Alliance Army Demigods, also had a hard time holding on.
Soon after, all the Demon Race Demigod experts within the Qianfang World Cluster were killed. The Alliance Army had won this fight with overwhelming numbers, making it effortless.
"Hahaha...
How exhilarating!
Now those Demon Race scum finally know our Qianfang World Cluster isn't easy to mess with, right?
Our Qianfang World Cluster is now part of the Alliance Army. We won't be slaughtered like in the past!" Kong Lao and other Demigods belonging to the Qianfang World Cluster all laughed heartily, feeling exceptionally satisfied.
After the Demon Race Demigods were killed, the remaining Demon Race troops were naturally no match. Not long after, they were completely wiped out.
Ye Yunfei didn't participate in the fighting at all. Instead, he wandered within the Qianfang World Cluster, specifically searching for the temples established by the Demon Race in the various worlds.
Once he found one, he immediately entered the temple, shattered the enshrined statue with a single punch, and seized the Soul Clone hidden within.
These Soul Clones all belonged to Demon Race Perfected Demigods. Their power was quite good, but they were no match for Ye Yunfei. Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy level was already nearly equivalent to that of an ordinary Perfected Demigod. He could engage in a full-fledged battle even against a real Perfected Demigod, let alone these Soul Clones of Perfected Demigods.
Before long, Ye Yunfei had plundered all the temples in this world cluster. All the statues in these temples were shattered by Ye Yunfei, and the Soul Clones hidden within were all sealed by him.
"Young Master Ye, the battle is over.
The vast majority of the Demon Race troops that invaded our Qianfang World Cluster have been exterminated," Kong Lao reported, arriving before Ye Yunfei with the Alliance Army forces.
"Good. Let's depart immediately for the next world," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Young Master Ye, although we've killed all the Demon Race forces in the Qianfang World Cluster, I'm afraid the Demon Race will send more troops to regain control here soon. Should we leave a garrison behind?" Kong Lao asked.
"No need. Leave traces of our Alliance Army behind. That will attract the Demon Race to pursue us when we appear in other world clusters later.
If we leave a garrison here, when the Demon Race's main forces arrive, our garrison will be outmatched and simply die pointlessly," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and replied.
"Kong Lao, the overall strength of our Alliance Army is still limited. We can't cover this many fronts yet. Only when our Alliance Army's overall strength is sufficient later, can we assign forces to garrison different world clusters," Ye Yunfei added.
"Alright. I'll follow Young Master Ye's orders," Kong Lao had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Even though he was disappointed that they couldn't leave troops to protect the Qianfang World Cluster, he knew Ye Yunfei was right.
Leaving a part of the Alliance Army here would likely just get them killed by the incoming revenge force from the Demon Race. The Demon Race's overall strength was nothing to scoff at. While the Alliance Army's overall strength was already quite good now, it still wasn't a match for the Demon Race.
Ye Yunfei did a headcount, then led everyone away from the Qianfang World Cluster.
Soon after, they arrived at another world cluster.
"Excellent!
We're finally back!"
At the entrance of this world cluster, after Ye Yunfei teleported everyone out, several Demigods immediately shouted excitedly.
This world cluster was their homeland, now occupied by the Demon Race's army.
"Alright, let's begin," Ye Yunfei waved his hand and spoke.
This world cluster before them was filled with soaring demonic aura. Teams of demon soldiers patrolled everywhere, appearing extremely formidable.
But Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy had already clearly detected approximately six Demon Race Demigods stationed within this cluster.
After Ye Yunfei issued the command, the Alliance Army's thirty Demigods shouted in unison, charging at the forefront. The remaining Alliance Army troops were also bursting with energy, advancing like tigers descending a mountain.
This Alliance Army force swept into the world cluster ahead.
"What's happening?"
The Demon Race forces inside, suddenly attacked by the Alliance Army, were both shocked and furious.
However, before they could even react, half of the Demon Race troops had been slaughtered.
The six Demon Race Demigods had all been in seclusion cultivation. Hearing the commotion, they hastily rushed out from their cultivation caves, only to be instantly swarmed and surrounded by the Alliance Army Demigods, engaging in intense combat.
Unprepared, these six Demon Race Demigods were utterly annihilated in moments.
"Young Master Ye, the fighting in this world is over.
The vast majority of the Demon Race have been exterminated. Only a small fraction managed to escape by chance," Kong Lao transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
The fighting in this world cluster was even shorter than in Qianfang. Within moments, the majority of the Demon Race garrison here had been wiped out.
"Excellent. Have everyone secure the battlefield. As for anything belonging to the Demon Race, don't hesitate, collect it all," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
Alliance Army troops immediately began securing the battlefield, while Ye Yunfei repeatedly charged into every world within this cluster. He destroyed all temples established by the Demon Race and seized all the Soul Clones hidden within them.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei left this world cluster with the Alliance Army troops.
For the following period, Ye Yunfei led the Alliance Army forces in and out of world cluster after world cluster. These were all the homelands of the Demigod experts within the Alliance Army. Currently, all these world clusters had become branch strongholds for those major powers, with temples enshrining the Soul Clones of those major powers' Perfected Demigods.
These Soul Clones, receiving worship from billions of living beings within these world clusters, had already gathered a considerable amount of Faith Energy. They were also continuously comprehending the laws of each world within these clusters—extremely precious for those Perfected Demigods.
But now, all this belonged to Ye Yunfei.
"The gains during this period are quite good. I'll share a portion of these Soul Clones for you to refine and absorb."
Inside the Illusory Shadow Pagoda, Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of Soul Clones and divided them among Hun Lao, Huang Shang, Gold-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hu Miao for refining and absorption.
Among them, Huang Shang practiced a ghost cultivation technique and found refining and absorbing these Soul Clones extremely straightforward.
Hun Lao, Gold-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hu Miao typically used other creatures' Soul Bodies for cultivation relatively sparingly.
But under Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang's guidance, they easily learned to utilize these Soul Clones to boost their Soul Power energy. Moreover, the Faith Energy within these Soul Clones and their insights into the laws of various different worlds were also extremely precious.
After plundering roughly fifteen or sixteen world clusters, Ye Yunfei temporarily halted the campaign, choosing a rather remote world cluster for secluded cultivation.
Almost half of the obtained Soul Clones were used by Ye Yunfei for refining and absorption, while the other half were shared among Huang Shang, Hun Lao, Gold-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hu Miao.
After about three months inside the Illusory Shadow Pagoda, Ye Yunfei finally finished refining and absorbing all the Soul Clones.
"Very good. My Soul Power energy level has increased substantially," Ye Yunfei said with a satisfied smile, sensing his current Soul Power energy level.
"Now, I also have a stream of Faith Energy within me."
Ye Yunfei extended his palm, and immediately, a large quantity of white energy gushed forth from his palm. This white energy was entirely Faith Energy.
Boom...
Moments later, vast amounts of white energy enveloped Ye Yunfei's body, churning wildly around him.
"So this is Faith Energy," Ye Yunfei said, observing the white energy surrounding him.
"Typically, Faith Energy can only be generated by absorbing and transforming living beings' beliefs. It's impossible to cultivate it oneself. Therefore, Faith Energy is a very special type of energy," Hun Lao explained.
"I wonder how powerful Faith Energy is," Ye Yunfei said, a bit curious.
Boom...
The next moment, Ye Yunfei willed it. The white Faith Energy surrounding his body surged and churned, rushing forward to strike.
The space ahead trembled violently, immediately sprouting numerous spatial fissures.
"Quite potent," Ye Yunfei laughed, feeling fairly satisfied.
"My law cultivation has also greatly improved," Ye Yunfei said.
The next moment, strands of law chains continuously appeared, resembling numerous rainbows materializing around Ye Yunfei's body.
Those Soul Clones had been enshrined in different worlds, continuously contemplating the laws within those worlds. Hence, they had accumulated a vast amount of law comprehension. After Ye Yunfei refined and absorbed those Soul Clones, he also gained immense law insights.
"This abundant collection of law insights can enhance the power of every one of my techniques and martial arts," Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
"Continue the campaign."
Ye Yunfei ended his secluded cultivation and emerged from the Illusory Shadow Pagoda. Then, he led the Alliance Army forces to continue their campaign, moving in and out of world cluster after world cluster. Before long, they plundered another large batch of Soul Power energy.
"Roar...
It's that little brat Ye Yunfei again!
I clearly deduced his figure through divination!"
The major powers' divination masters, receiving news, immediately came to deduce the perpetrator. They quickly deduced Ye Yunfei's figure and roared furiously.
Simultaneously, news of Ye Yunfei's actions during this period began to spread, causing quite a stir.
"That kid Ye Yunfei is so audacious, daring to do the same things I do?
Could his current strength truly be as formidable as the rumors say?"
Inside a world within the Chaotic Void Sea, an old man sitting cross-legged in a patch of primeval forest murmured to himself.
"Fine. Once I emerge from seclusion, I'll go and see for myself," the old man muttered.
