After Ye Yunfei made his decision, with a thought, dozens of thick green vines whistled out, wrapping around the dozen or so Guardian Captain-level experts respectively.
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Yunfei activated the Seamless Phantasm Technique. Three identical Ye Yunfei appeared, heading off in three different directions.
As his strength grew ever greater, the effects of the Seamless Phantasm Technique Ye Yunfei wielded also improved significantly.
For a moment, those dozen Guardian Captain-level experts couldn't distinguish which one was Ye Yunfei's true body at all.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei arrived beside a Restorer.
This Restorer was the minor leader responsible for this operation.
"Get everyone to evacuate this world now. I'll cover the retreat," Ye Yunfei said, pointing his finger. Dozens of green vines extended in all directions, instantly forcing back the seven or eight Watchers who were besieging this minor Restorer leader.
"Good. We two will handle the rear guard; let the others leave first!"
This minor Restorer leader knew Ye Yunfei possessed considerable strength and was also proficient in a wood-attributed divine ability, which could play a significant role in hindering the enemy in such a situation.
Immediately afterwards, this minor Restorer leader sent out messages to all the Restorers, telling them to seize the time and escape.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei pushed the Sky-Piercing Divine Vine divine ability to its limit. Over a hundred green vines appeared simultaneously, extending and coiling towards over a hundred Watchers or members of the Source Fire Sect.
Ye Yunfei held several divine crystals in his hand, refining and absorbing their energy even as he unleashed the Sky-Piercing Divine Vine.
After all, using this divine ability extensively would consume a vast amount of energy, and divine crystals contained an immense amount of high-level energy perfect for replenishment.
While unleashing the divine vines, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Huang Shang continuously hurled out large quantities of Formation Flags.
One Formation after another manifested, falling upon the Watchers or Source Fire Sect members.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei constantly employed Earth-Reading techniques, gathering the earth energy and earth laws from this space, setting up one large-scale Earth Formation after another.
Thus, this area of space became filled with Formations, Earth Formations, and one thick green vine after another.
Once the Restorers received their minor leader's voice transmission, they all swiftly rushed towards Ye Yunfei's location.
As long as they neared the Formations, Earth Formations, and green vines around Ye Yunfei's vicinity, they could break free from the encirclement or pursuit of the Watchers or Source Fire Sect forces.
"Everyone, these are Formation-Breaking Flags. If you encounter a Formation, throw these flags out. They can break or let you pass through the pre-set Formations of the enemy," Hu Miao said, taking out a large number of flags and distributing them to the Restorers.
Upon receiving Hu Miao's Formation-Breaking Flags, the Restorers immediately charged towards the exit of this world.
Since the Watchers and Source Fire Sect had already laid numerous Formations within this world, the Formation-Breaking Flags Hu Miao distributed proved highly effective.
Under Ye Yunfei's cover, more and more Restorers began to shake off the encirclement and pursuit of the Watchers and Source Fire Sect forces, fleeing out of this world.
Ye Yunfei's sensory ability was extraordinarily powerful. The moment he detected a Restorer being intercepted or in danger, he would immediately use the Sky-Piercing Divine Vine to aid them.
While these divine vines Ye Yunfei unleashed might not pose a significant threat to the stronger experts, they could cause considerable interference.
"Damn it! These divine abilities are too troublesome!"
The Watchers, looking at the dense forest of green vines rapidly extending everywhere in this space, felt both alarmed and furious.
Especially those Guardian Captain-level experts were roaring in anger, constantly shattering the green vines while swiftly advancing to encircle and kill Ye Yunfei.
However, whenever those Guardian Captain-level experts charged forward, Ye Yunfei would immediately employ the Seamless Phantasm Technique to distance himself from them.
"Excellent! I never imagined the wood-attributed divine ability he cultivates would play such a crucial role at a critical moment, saving the lives of so many of our Restorers," the minor leader in charge of this operation exclaimed with mixed shock and joy.
Of course, besides those Sky-Piercing Divine Vines, the large number of Formations and Earth Formations Ye Yunfei set up also served to hinder the enemy effectively.
"We must join forces and kill Ye Yunfei. Forget about the others. If we allow him to continue growing, he'll become a major hidden danger for our Guardian Faction," the dozen or so Guardian Captain-level experts sent voice transmissions amongst themselves, then issued orders. They took the lead in surrounding Ye Yunfei's location.
Besides these Guardian Captain-level experts, the other Watchers and Source Fire Sect forces also began quietly encircling Ye Yunfei.
Clearly, the Watchers intended to pool their strength to concentrate on dealing with Ye Yunfei alone.
"Seems these fellows want to concentrate their power against you," Hun Lao said, his spatial perception exceptionally sharp, immediately noticing something amiss.
All the Watchers and Source Fire Sect members were stealthily moving towards Ye Yunfei's position.
"Yes, they want to concentrate their forces against me," Ye Yunfei nodded. With a wave of his hand, he threw out another large handful of Formation Flags, erecting dozens of large-scale Formations around himself.
During his spare time, Ye Yunfei had refined a massive quantity of Formation Flags precisely for situations like this.
Ye Yunfei's current wealth was simply staggering, and the amount of Formation materials in his possession was countless.
Thus, the number of Formation Flags he had refined was extraordinarily vast, more than enough to last through an entire battle.
"We should leave as well. If so many Watchers and Source Fire Sect forces join forces to deal with you alone, it will become very troublesome to fight," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright, let's prepare to leave now."
Seeing that many Restorers had already escaped this world under his cover, and that the number remaining within was not large, Ye Yunfei nodded.
"We should go too," Ye Yunfei sent a voice transmission to the Restorer's team leader.
This minor leader's strength was also considerable, simultaneously engaging over a dozen Watchers alone while frequently employing various methods to cover the escape of other Restorers.
"Alright, we two will leave as well. How about this: you go first; I'll cover the rear," the Restorer minor leader replied immediately after receiving Ye Yunfei's transmission, then nodded.
He had also noticed that the Watchers and Source Fire Sect forces seemed intent on concentrating their power against Ye Yunfei, so he planned to let Ye Yunfei leave first.
"No need. Let's all seize the time and leave this place. Don't worry, just them alone won't be able to keep me here," Ye Yunfei answered. He then activated the Seamless Phantasm Technique again. Three identical Ye Yunfei appeared, heading off in three different directions.
"Everyone, these are all illusions! His true body must already be trying to leave this world. Let's block him at the world exit!"
A Guardian Captain-level expert, seeing Ye Yunfei employ the Seamless Phantasm Technique again, immediately shouted loudly. Soaring into the air, he charged towards the exit of this world.
He knew Ye Yunfei must be planning to leave this world, so he wanted to block the exit.
However, the moment he took action, over a dozen green vines materialized before him, whistling as they coiled towards his body.
"Get lost!"
This Watcher was furious. Opening his mouth, he spat out a five-storied black pagoda that shot forth from his mouth, rapidly enlarging and directly shattering the more than ten green vines ahead.
But at that moment, a brilliantly radiant flying sword slashed down from afar, high above, continuously enlarging, transforming into a dazzling giant sword hacking towards his head, blocking his path.
As his own realm and strength continuously improved, particularly his Soul Power energy, the Flying Sword Art Ye Yunfei now unleashed was far more powerful than before.
"Scram!"
The Guardian Captain swung a long blade, knocking the flying sword aside, then roared loudly.
By now, all the other Guardian Captain-level experts were charging towards this world's exit.
But before they could approach it, several green vines appeared before each Guardian Captain, like thick spears thrusting towards their bodies.
The Guardian Captains attacked, blasting apart the green vines before them.
Some Guardian Captains hurled their magic treasures, which continuously expanded and rumbled as they smashed towards the world's exit.
Because they knew Ye Yunfei must be trying to leave through this world's exit at this moment.
Earlier, they had already laid a large number of Formations and spatial restriction seals within this world. Under such circumstances, no matter how sophisticated one's spatial movement techniques or traversal-type treasures were, it would be somewhat difficult to swiftly traverse and leave the space of this world.
Indeed, Ye Yunfei and the Restorer's minor leader were now positioned at this world's exit. Seeing the Guardian Captains releasing their magic treasures like rain, smashing towards the exit, Ye Yunfei and the Restorer leader immediately hurled out over a dozen magic treasures as well, simultaneously activating them to block forward.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, throwing out another large handful of Formation Flags, instantly setting up dozens of Formations and five or six large-scale Earth Formations. Then he turned and dashed outwards through the world exit.
"The enemy has emerged! Kill!"
Outside the world exit, a group of Watchers and Source Fire Sect forces was still stationed there.
Ye Yunfei activated a physique divine ability, punching out from inside the world exit. His fist continuously enlarged, terrifying physical power from within his body pouring out endlessly, empowering the fist.
This move, the Great Strength Divine Fist, was executed by Ye Yunfei with almost no reservations, using up all his physical strength. Its power was utterly terrifying.
The Watchers and Source Fire Sect members blocking the path outside cried out in agony; a single fist blow had smashed several dozen of them.
Ye Yunfei turned his head, unleashing Soul Power martial arts and Star Power martial arts simultaneously to attack over a dozen Guardian Captains charging at the forefront. He also activated the Sky-Piercing Divine Vine again, dozens of thick green vines appearing at once, lunging forward like dozens of green dragons.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei and the Restorer's minor leader had long since seized this opportunity to turn and charge out of the world's exit.
"Excellent! We finally fought our way out!" The minor leader was overjoyed.
"However, some are still trapped inside," Ye Yunfei said with a sigh, having just seen that a small number of Restorers remained inside that world, their positions too far from the exit and surrounded by many Source Fire Sect members and Watchers. Going back to rescue them now was no longer realistic, as doing so would inevitably plunge him into a heavily encircled and extremely troublesome situation.
Although Ye Yunfei had great confidence in his own strength, he knew it would still be insufficient to simultaneously face the collective attacks of so many Watchers and Source Fire Sect forces.
"Chase them out! Kill that kid Ye Yunfei!"
Voices continuously echoed from behind as the Watchers and Source Fire Sect members pursued them out.
"We can't afford to worry about them now. Any later and even we two won't be able to escape. I just calculated that at least one-third of the Restorers who came here for this mission have already been lost. Moreover, that Source Fire Sect Grand Patriarch's heavenly tribulation is about to end. When that happens, we'll have to face a Heavenly God, and escape will be impossible," the Restorer minor leader sighed, replying.
"Fine. Let's hurry and leave this world cluster now. Since the Source Fire Sect has openly allied with the Watchers and opposes our Restorer faction, they will surely pursue us relentlessly. Let's return to headquarters immediately to report what happened here," the Restorer minor leader said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright, we'll first leave this world cluster and return to headquarters for further discussion," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Then both Ye Yunfei and the minor leader took out flying ships, boarded them, and the vessels pierced through the void, vanishing in an instant.
The Restorers' flying ships were of high grade, possessing strong spatial traversal capabilities and extreme speed.
In less than a breath's time, Ye Yunfei and the minor leader had left the Zhongheng World Cluster.
Just as their flying ships departed the Zhongheng World Cluster, a large group of Watchers and Source Fire Sect forces surged out from that earlier world.
Sensing that Ye Yunfei had already left the Zhongheng World Cluster, they were all greatly angered.
"What a pity! That kid Ye Yunfei actually escaped! The next time we want to kill him, we probably won't have such a good opportunity," a Source Fire Sect elder exclaimed regretfully.
"Don't worry. That kid dares to oppose our Guardian Faction; he is doomed to die eventually," a Watcher sneered, saying slowly.
"Quite right. That Ye Yunfei will definitely die, because I will not let him go."
At that very moment, an elderly man suddenly appeared, hands clasped behind his back, head held high, his whole body radiating rolling divine radiance. Furthermore, many colored ribbons of different hues continuously manifested around him.
These ribbons of various colors were formed from countless great Dao laws, making the elder's figure appear extraordinarily mystical and divine.
"It's the Grand Patriarch! Grand Patriarch, you… have you already attained godhood?"
The members of the Source Fire Sect, seeing this elder, were all ecstatic.
This elder was precisely the Source Fire Sect Grand Patriarch who had undergone the godhood tribulation inside that world earlier.
"Hahahaha… Correct. Today, Qi Fa has finally attained godhood. From this moment on, the entire Chaotic Void Sea is mine to traverse freely and at will."
This Source Fire Sect Grand Patriarch, hands clasped behind his back, burst into loud laughter, brimming with self-satisfaction.
As he spoke, it seemed as if all the energy and laws in the surrounding space resonated with his cadence, trembling rhythmically. It was as if this vast stretch of space-time was joining him in roaring with laughter, the imposing aura utterly terrifying. Everyone felt their ears were filled with an endless, wild torrent of laughter.
