"The Source Fire Sect isn't among the strongest superpowers in the Chaotic Void Sea, yet they were able to produce a Deity so quickly. I think it's highly likely that the Guardian Faction aided the Source Fire Sect, which is why the Source Fire Sect has joined them," Ye Yunfei said, frowning as he looked at the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor who radiated divine might.
"That's right, it's certainly possible. The Source Fire Sect's foundation isn't sufficient to produce a Deity this quickly. It must be due to the Guardian Faction's help," Hun Lao nodded in agreement.
"Ye Yunfei, so you're here as well." Just as Ye Yunfei was watching the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor from afar, the Ancestor seemed to sense something and turned his gaze toward Ye Yunfei's location.
It had to be said that a Deity's sensory abilities were truly terrifying, able to keenly detect Ye Yunfei's aura amid the chaotic battlefield.
"You little bastard, three of our Source Fire Sect's ancestors died because of you. I'll settle this account with you properly today." The Yuanhuojiao Ancestor's voice roared in Ye Yunfei's ears like peals of thunder, shaking Ye Yunfei until his face paled and he staggered back.
Deities were truly dreadful. Every single one of their actions seemed to affect all the energy and laws of the entire void space!
Ye Yunfei sensed endless energy and laws around him continuously pressing down upon him from the surrounding space.
"A Deity can mobilize the Daos and laws of the surrounding void at a single thought and turn them to his own use. You're far from reaching that level, so you are no match for a Deity. Escape now," Hun Lao hurriedly sent a mental message to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei, of course, knew this. Without any hesitation, he rapidly retreated, moving with extreme speed. Simultaneously, the Space Teleportation Token in his hand was already activated. A surge of teleportation energy materialized, enveloping Ye Yunfei's body and initiating the teleportation process.
"You think you can escape before me? That's mere wishful thinking." The Yuanhuojiao Ancestor stretched out his palm and gave a gentle squeeze toward the space where Ye Yunfei was located. Ye Yunfei immediately discovered that the space around his body had been sealed.
Next, a vast quantity of dazzlingly bright chains of laws began to manifest continuously. These chains were all condensed from spatial energy and spatial laws. They extended ceaselessly, tremored endlessly, and intertwined with each other, instantly forming a brilliant, eye-catching cage.
This cage, composed of one shining law chain after another, sealed the space where Ye Yunfei stood completely.
"This is bad. A Deity's control over spatial energy and spatial laws is too terrifying. With just a single thought, he can mobilize all the spatial energy and laws of this area to trap us, without even needing to strike personally. This space itself is holding us captive. How are we supposed to fight like this?" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm perceived the surrounding space and found it had long been completely sealed. He couldn't help but complain repeatedly.
The dazzling, brilliant law cage tightly locked down every inch of the surrounding space, leaving no possibility for escape unless one could shatter this law cage.
Boom!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm punched the law cage beside him. The golden fist continuously enlarged, smashing into the law cage like a golden mountain peak.
However, the next moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm found his fist being thrown back violently, and then with a bang, the fist actually exploded.
"Don't waste your energy. With our current strength, we definitely can't break this law cage," Hun Lao sighed.
"Then what should we do? Are we just supposed to sit here waiting to die?" the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said anxiously.
"Hahaha... Ye Yunfei, do you regret now why you provoked our Source Fire Sect in the first place? If you hadn't caused the deaths of our other sect ancestors, our Source Fire Sect should have had three or four Deities by now. Today, you must die!" The Yuanhuojiao Ancestor strode toward Ye Yunfei, roaring with laughter.
He had already used his methods to trap Ye Yunfei, so he wasn't afraid of Ye Yunfei escaping.
Ye Yunfei's mind raced, thinking of escape methods, but facing a Deity, escaping was extremely difficult.
"Alright, I don't want to waste words on an ant like you. You can go die now." The Yuanhuojiao Ancestor looked down at Ye Yunfei with a lofty gaze, then pointed a finger. Rustling sounds filled the air as the law cage surrounding Ye Yunfei began to tremble and continuously contract.
The dazzling law chains, like shining venomous snakes, coiled toward Ye Yunfei's body.
Suppressed by so many Dao law chains, Ye Yunfei couldn't move at all, let alone counterattack. A shadow of death began to loom over him.
"This can't be happening. Am I really going to die at the hands of this old thing?" Ye Yunfei felt somewhat unwilling.
At that moment, a cold voice rang out. "A dignified Deity actually bullying a junior. You're the kind who only brings shame to Deities."
Then, a Taoist priest entered the space where the Restorers Headquarters was located, looking at the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor with a scornful gaze.
"Senior Master of Xiaoliang Temple!" Ye Yunfei, seeing the Taoist priest, couldn't help but cry out joyfully. This priest was none other than the Master of Xiaoliang Temple!
"Your Source Fire Sect actually surrendered to the Guardian Faction. How shameless. It seems that starting from now, your Source Fire Sect intends to make enemies of all living beings in this void sea." The Master of Xiaoliang Temple moved incredibly fast. With a single step, he arrived at Ye Yunfei's location and spoke coldly to the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor.
"Humph, so it's the Master of Xiaoliang Temple. As expected, you've also become a Deity. Which faction our Source Fire Sect allies with and what we intend to do is none of your business. What, have you come to help the Restorers Faction?" The Yuanhuojiao Ancestor snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on the Master of Xiaoliang Temple.
"That's right. Our Xiaoliang Temple stands with the Restorers Faction. That means from now on, our Xiaoliang Temple and your Source Fire Sect are enemies. Enough talk. Come over here and accept your death," the Master of Xiaoliang Temple nodded and said with a cold smile.
"You're a Deity, and so am I. Do you think killing me is that easy? Perhaps it'll be me who kills you!" The Yuanhuojiao Ancestor flew into a rage.
"Young Master Ye, step back a little," the Master of Xiaoliang Temple said to Ye Yunfei with a smile.
Ye Yunfei immediately sensed that the space around him had returned to normal. The law cage had long since disappeared.
"Thank you for your assistance, Senior Master," Ye Yunfei nodded, then his figure flashed as he rapidly retreated.
"From now on, whenever I encounter anyone from the Source Fire Sect, I will kill them on sight. As for you, old man, if you're still alive when I become a Deity, you'll be the first one I slay." Remembering the shadow of death from moments ago, Ye Yunfei stared at the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor and spoke through gritted teeth as he retreated.
"Hahaha... An overestimating ant. How dare you threaten me? Do you have that ability? Go die!" The Yuanhuojiao Ancestor roared with laughter.
Following his words, Ye Yunfei immediately discovered that large numbers of law chains, of various colors, once again appeared around his body. This indicated that the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor had mobilized multiple different Daos and laws.
Whoosh...
One Dao law after another, like venomous snakes, swept toward Ye Yunfei from all directions to trap him.
Ye Yunfei hurriedly attempted to use the several Daos and laws he had mastered to resist.
However, he soon realized that the Daos and laws he commanded were impossible to mobilize.
"Deities are truly powerful," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Rest assured, Young Master Ye. With me here, he cannot harm a single hair on your head." The Master of Xiaoliang Temple waved a hand, and all the law chains beside Ye Yunfei shattered and vanished. Seizing the opportunity, Ye Yunfei used his Seamless Phantasm Technique, and his true body instantly appeared in the distance.
At this moment, the battle between the Master of Xiaoliang Temple and the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor had already begun.
The clash between the two Deities filled a vast area of space with endless divine power. No one except Deities dared to approach that space.
"Although I'm already close to becoming a Perfected Demigod, I am still far, far from matching a Deity," Ye Yunfei sighed, watching the battle between the two Deities from afar and sensing the terrifying divine power energy continuously emanating from the distance.
"Ancestor, we've arrived!" Just then, a large group of people charged into the Restorers Faction headquarters.
Each of these individuals radiated scorching energy. Some even had blazing flames burning on their bodies. They were from the Source Fire Sect.
"Act! Kill any Restorer you see!" The Yuanhuojiao Ancestor gave the order.
The newly arrived Source Fire Sect forces immediately charged toward the Restorers.
"People of the Source Fire Sect, huh..." Ye Yunfei looked at them, his gaze turning icy.
His narrow escape from death at the hands of the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor not long ago had left Ye Yunfei seething with pent-up anger. Seeing these Source Fire Sect members now filled him with intense killing intent.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei had just declared to the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor's face that from now on, whenever he encountered people from the Source Fire Sect, he would kill them on sight. Now that he had encountered them, he certainly wouldn't be polite.
Ye Yunfei directly activated the Space Teleportation Token in his hand to appear behind the Source Fire Sect forces. He took out a Deity-level longsword, utilized the Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art, and then charged into the Source Fire Sect formation.
Thick green vines abruptly extended endlessly from the surrounding space, coiling toward the Source Fire Sect members.
Those Source Fire Sect members with weaker strength were immediately entangled by these green vines, unable to move. The vines then continuously contracted, tearing them apart.
Although the Demigods from the Source Fire Sect could barely withstand the attacks of these green vines, the vines still diverted a large portion of their attention.
Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and the Blood Clan Clone appeared simultaneously, like tigers among sheep, continuously slaying one Source Fire Sect member after another.
"It's Ye Yunfei! Damn it, he's here too!" The Source Fire Sect's higher-ups immediately recognized Ye Yunfei, each one both startled and furious.
Knowing that none of them was a match for Ye Yunfei in single combat, the Source Fire Sect's leaders all turned to surround Ye Yunfei.
"Come on, all of you! Come and die!" Facing the numerous Source Fire Sect leaders, Ye Yunfei showed no fear. He directly used his body-tempering divine ability to transform into a giant, then unleashed his Great Strength Divine Fist, sending a sweeping punch forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Any Source Fire Sect member struck or even lightly grazed by Ye Yunfei's fist was instantly reduced to dust.
These ordinary Source Fire Sect members had no way to resist Ye Yunfei's terrifying physical power.
However, after transforming into a giant, Ye Yunfei became a very large target. The Source Fire Sect members threw out all sorts of magical treasures, striking Ye Yunfei's body continuously.
But Ye Yunfei's body had already refined and fused a large number of Perfected Demigod-level magical treasures. Not long ago, he had even seized two Law Wheels from a Guardian Captain and refined them into his body. Those Law Wheels were made of Deity-level materials.
This made Ye Yunfei's body incredibly sturdy. The magical treasures thrown by the Source Fire Sect members couldn't harm Ye Yunfei's body at all.
"All of you must die!" Ye Yunfei swung his two enormous fists, striking down from above, sending one lightning-fast punch after another toward the Source Fire Sect members. Each punch could kill several.
Even the Source Fire Sect's Demigod experts didn't dare to face Ye Yunfei's fists directly.
While using the Great Strength Divine Fist, Ye Yunfei continuously summoned Sky-Piercing Divine Vines, entangling any Source Fire Sect members who tried to flee, rendering them immobile.
"Everyone, scatter! This kid is too strong. We are no match for him!" After a short while of fighting, at least a third of the Source Fire Sect forces had been killed by Ye Yunfei. Seeing this, the Source Fire Sect leaders realized that if things continued this way, their members would likely be wiped out. One elder loudly shouted.
"Old man, it's your turn now." Ye Yunfei fixed his gaze on that elder, suddenly leapt up, his massive body soaring high like a terrifying divine mountain descending from the sky. Then, a large foot rapidly enlarged, releasing terrifying physical power as it stomped down from above toward that Source Fire Sect elder.
"Such terrifying physical power!" This Source Fire Sect elder was so frightened his face turned pale. He tried to use a movement technique to evade,
but numerous green vines immediately appeared around him, swiftly coiling toward him. Simultaneously, fearsome spatial energy and spatial laws sealed the space around him.
In the end, the elder let out a miserable scream, crushed alive by that stomping foot and reduced to a mass of bloody flesh.
"Too terrifying!" Seeing this, the other Source Fire Sect members were frightened and immediately turned to flee.
Ye Yunfei used his movement technique to chase after them. With one swing of his sword, he chopped down over a dozen.
At this time, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and the Blood Clan Clone had already begun to act separately, pursuing the fleeing Source Fire Sect members.
These Source Fire Sect forces had come from afar, intending to join the Guardian Faction in dealing with the Restorers, but encountering the murderous Ye Yunfei, almost half of them were killed in a short time, suffering heavy losses.
Not a single one among these Source Fire Sect members was Ye Yunfei's match.
If their attacks landed on Ye Yunfei's body, they couldn't cause significant harm, but if Ye Yunfei's attacks landed on them, they were instantly torn apart and died miserably.
"Ye Yunfei, you little bastard! How dare you kill so many of our Source Fire Sect members!" Seeing this from afar while still battling the Master of Xiaoliang Temple, the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor's eyes nearly burst with rage as he roared furiously.
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei immediately sensed a terrifying Soul Force energy rushing toward him from afar, aiming to invade his soul sea.
Ye Yunfei was greatly alarmed, knowing that if this fearsome Soul Force energy entered his soul sea, the consequences would be disastrous.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and dozens of Soul Force energy-type magical treasures immediately appeared around his head, tightly protecting his soul sea.
At the same time, the two Soul Bodies and all the Soul Power stars within his soul sea released powerful Soul Force energy to resist the incoming Soul Force energy attack.
Hun Lao and the others also immediately used their respective techniques and secret arts to help Ye Yunfei resist that terrifying Soul Force energy.
"Your opponent is me." The Master of Xiaoliang Temple naturally wouldn't stand by and watch the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor attack Ye Yunfei. With a thought, he also released a powerful surge of Soul Force energy, colliding with the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor's.
Immediately, Ye Yunfei felt the pressure greatly reduced.
"Old thing, just wait. If you don't die, I will kill you someday. If you do die, I will definitely annihilate the Source Fire Sect in the future!" Having suffered a second death threat from the Yuanhuojiao Ancestor, Ye Yunfei was extremely angry. He roared loudly, then turned and continued pursuing the other Source Fire Sect forces. Using his Great Strength Divine Fist, he killed over a dozen more Source Fire Sect members within two breaths, including two or three Demigods.
"Master, we've arrived!" Just then, another group of people charged into the Restorers Headquarters. The forces of the Xiaoliang Temple had arrived.
After receiving news of the Guardian Faction's attack on the Restorers Headquarters, the Master of Xiaoliang Temple had immediately rushed over, simultaneously ordering the Xiaoliang Temple's higher-ups to gather forces and come to assist.
As a Deity, the Master of Xiaoliang Temple's speed was naturally extremely fast. So, by the time he had been at the Restorers Headquarters for a while, the main force of the Xiaoliang Temple finally followed.
Upon entering the Restorers Headquarters, the Xiaoliang Temple forces immediately joined with the Restorers to fight the Guardian Faction together.
Ye Yunfei used his movement technique to continue hunting down Source Fire Sect members. None of the Source Fire Sect members targeted by Ye Yunfei could escape.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei fixed his gaze on a Perfected Demigod from the Source Fire Sect. He activated his Space Teleportation Token, instantly appearing behind this Perfected Demigod, and launched a fierce assault.
This Perfected Demigod from the Source Fire Sect possessed formidable combat strength, almost equivalent to a Guardian Captain. Unfortunately, he had encountered Ye Yunfei.
After fighting for a short while, he could no longer hold his ground, forced back repeatedly by Ye Yunfei's relentless offensive.
Ye Yunfei summoned Sky-Piercing Divine Vines, instantly causing dozens of thick green vines to extend from the surrounding space. They intertwined, forming a massive green cage that trapped the Source Fire Sect's Perfected Demigod.
Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also joined the attack, using their respective spatial martial skills to suppress this Perfected Demigod.
Ye Yunfei charged forward, his right fist unleashing the Great Strength Divine Fist, his left hand wielding the Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art, while simultaneously employing soul force martial skills and heart force martial skills, launching a savage onslaught against this Perfected Demigod.
Moreover, during his attack, Ye Yunfei didn't consider defense at all, because he believed that given his physique, even if struck by this Perfected Demigod, it wouldn't cause significant harm.
"Ye Yunfei, you're courting death!" Seeing Ye Yunfei attacking him madly, this Source Fire Sect Perfected Demigod was both terrified and furious, retreating continuously, trying to break free.
He knew he was no match for Ye Yunfei.
But under the various suppressions, he couldn't escape. Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to fight Ye Yunfei.
He wielded a long spear in his hands, brandishing it wildly like a long dragon. With a clang, it struck Ye Yunfei's chest.
Ye Yunfei didn't dodge at all. At the same time, his fist smashed into this Perfected Demigod's shoulder. The terrifying physical power directly shattered half of his body, exploding it into a bloody mist.
Next, Ye Yunfei's longsword swept over, cutting the remaining half of the Perfected Demigod's ruined body to shreds. Then, he grabbed the Soul Body left behind by this Perfected Demigod and handed it to Huang Shang.
Meanwhile, the Blood Clan Clone arrived beside Ye Yunfei and began refining and absorbing the bloodline essence left by this Perfected Demigod.
After killing this Source Fire Sect Perfected Demigod, Ye Yunfei didn't pause, continuing to pursue other Source Fire Sect members.
Another while later, almost two-thirds of the Source Fire Sect forces had been slaughtered by Ye Yunfei and his companions.
The remaining Source Fire Sect members were already terrified out of their wits, fleeing far from Ye Yunfei.
By now, terrifying battles raged everywhere within this Restorers Headquarters. Almost every moment, people were falling. Corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed freely—a truly horrific sight, like a large slaughterhouse.
"Hmph... So this is the Restorers Headquarters. Excellent. We'll destroy this place today." At this moment, Ye Yunfei saw another Deity charge into the Restorers Headquarters from the outside.
"Not good! That's a Deity from the Dark Faction! His injuries have actually healed!" Seeing this newly arrived Deity, Hun Lao couldn't help but cry out in shock.
"It seems the Dark Faction has also joined the Guardian Faction," Ye Yunfei's heart stirred as he saw this Dark Faction Deity's arrival.
The Source Fire Sect had already surrendered to the Guardian Faction; now the Dark Faction had as well. This meant the Guardian Faction's overall strength had grown even stronger, because the Dark Faction's overall power was originally much greater than the Source Fire Sect's.
"Why are so many major powers joining the Guardian Faction? Don't they know about the Guardian Faction's origins?" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown and speak.
"Not necessarily. It's possible these major powers do know about the Guardian Faction's origins. But given sufficient benefits, they would still choose to join the Guardian Faction. There's no help for it. Since ancient times, wealth has moved men's hearts," Hun Lao sighed.
