However, Ye Yunfei quickly discovered that this space within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had been tightly sealed by that black piece of cloth. Before he could even leave the Three Thousand Worlds, he was blocked by the boundless darkness ahead.
“Esteemed Seniors, how should we break through this black cloth to get outside?”
Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission asking.
“I have an ancient teleportation Formation left behind from antiquity here in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. There is a matching ancient Formation in the void outside as well. These two Formations work in tandem and can ignore any seal, allowing free passage in and out of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.”
Kang Wan transmitted back to Ye Yunfei.
“That's perfect!”
Ye Yunfei exclaimed in pleasant surprise.
Kang Wan pointed a finger, and a teleportation Formation instantly appeared before Ye Yunfei.
“The position of this ancient Formation can be changed at will. It appears wherever I wish it to, and the same goes for the one outside.”
Kang Wan said with a smile.
“This ancient Formation was left behind by a very powerful Divine King from the ancient times of our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, and it has been in use until now.”
Kang Wan transmitted again to supplement his explanation.
“I had no idea our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds possessed such profound heritage.”
Ye Yunfei looked at the ancient Formation before him, sensing its profound aura, and couldn't help but speak in astonishment.
Then, Ye Yunfei stepped into the teleportation Formation. With a *Hong* sound, the Formation erupted with powerful teleportation energy, instantly carrying Ye Yunfei outwards towards the void.
“Young Master Ye, be careful. That fellow Wu Tao will most likely be there as well, and you're not yet his match.
If you encounter him, leave him to the six of us.”
Ding Qianjie transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
“Understood, Elder!”
Ye Yunfei replied.
The next moment, a teleportation Formation appeared in the void outside the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, erupting with rolling divine radiance. Ye Yunfei's figure then materialized within that Formation.
Ye Yunfei stepped out of the Formation and, without wasting a word, charged towards those ten Deities.
With incredible speed, Ye Yunfei took nine consecutive steps, nine colossal dragons merging into one as he threw a fist towards one of the Deities.
An ancient Emperor Phantom immediately manifested, exuding an overwhelming imperial majesty. An Emperor Domain instantly formed, enveloping a vast expanse of the void.
“What technique is this?
It actually somewhat resembles the techniques of an ancient dynasty that has already been lost.”
A Deity from the Guardian Faction was quite shocked upon seeing the towering Emperor Phantom behind Ye Yunfei, his words bursting out involuntarily.
He recalled a certain legendary ancient dynasty.
“You're looking for death, brat!”
The Deity attacked by Ye Yunfei was furious.
He was a Deity, after all, and the energy fluctuations Ye Yunfei displayed were merely that of a Perfected Demigod. For a mere Perfected Demigod to charge forward and provoke a Deity so brazenly to his face was simply a tremendous act of contempt.
This Deity also threw a punch to block Ye Yunfei's fist.
The Deity-level energy within his body poured out and was concentrated onto his fist, forming a huge fist imprint. The terrifying pressure of Deity-level energy instantly enveloped a large area of space, bearing down on Ye Yunfei.
“Everyone, surround this brat. This time, we must kill him.”
Seeing Ye Yunfei actually take the initiative to attack, the other Deities immediately closed in to block his retreat.
However, these Deities were constantly channeling their Deity-level energy into the black piece of cloth that had already grown boundlessly large. Thus, not all of them charged over to surround and attack Ye Yunfei.
That black cloth required a vast quantity of Deity-level energy to exert a greater sealing effect.
“You lot, so many of you ganging up to bully a young junior, aren't you ashamed?”
At this moment, six figures whistled through the void and a large banner danced and fluttered in the wind above their heads.
Kang Wan and the other five elders had already used the teleportation Formation to arrive.
*Hong!*
Ye Yunfei's fist and the Deity's fist collided.
Ye Yunfei was using the Great Force Divine Fist. Fortified by terrifying physical strength, the power of this punch was horrifyingly immense. With a *hong*, the Deity's fist directly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
Although he was a Deity, Ye Yunfei's physical quality was stronger than his. In this kind of direct, hard-hitting confrontation, whoever had the stronger physical body held the advantage.
“How is this possible?”
After his fist was shattered by Ye Yunfei, the Deity's expression changed drastically as he retreated repeatedly.
“Ye Yunfei, your physical strength is actually this powerful, having reached the Deity level!”
This Deity cried out unwillingly.
“What?
Ye Yunfei actually possesses power at the Deity level!
How is this possible?
He's clearly just a Perfected Demigod, yet his physical quality is even stronger than ours, we who are Deities! What in the world is going on?”
The other Deities were also greatly shocked. They had originally thought that in the previous battle, Ye Yunfei must have employed some evil art or borrowed power from other experts, which was why he had Deity-level combat strength.
After that battle ended, Ye Yunfei's energy had reverted to the level of a Perfected Demigod. A mere Perfected Demigod was still an ant in the eyes of these Deities. But now, Ye Yunfei had suddenly revealed Deity-level physical strength, something these Deities of the Guardian Faction had not anticipated.
“Doesn't this mean that this Ye Yunfei brat genuinely possesses combat power at the Deity level now?”
One of the Deities cried out resentfully.
The expressions of every Deity from the Guardian Faction were very ugly.
They knew that with Ye Yunfei's strength and talent, no matter what realm he was in, he was likely to be a powerhouse within that realm.
Now that Ye Yunfei possessed combat power at the Deity level, he would undoubtedly be a formidable and troublesome opponent.
“Your turn.”
By now, Ye Yunfei had already turned and charged towards another Deity.
“You whelps, do you truly believe our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are easy to bully?”
At this time, Kang Wan and the other five elders also began to move, each engaging a Deity in fierce combat.
“Everyone, remember, our primary task now is to disrupt these ten individuals, preventing them from continuing to transmit energy into that black cloth.
Doing so will cause the cloth's effect to greatly diminish.”
Kang Wan transmitted his message to the other five elders and Ye Yunfei.
By now, Ye Yunfei had already closed in on another Deity. Once again, he threw a punch, employing the Great Force Divine Fist. The vast power within his body poured forth, concentrating onto his fist, directly making the space ahead collapse inward.
Moreover, under the pressure of this terrifying power, the space ahead continuously exploded, with mushroom clouds of energy rising one after another.
“Brat, you are far too arrogant!”
Feeling the dreadful power contained within Ye Yunfei's fist, the Deity was both shocked and enraged. A powerful energy surged from within his body, forming a massive turtle-shell-shaped shield that protected his form.
*Clang!*
Ye Yunfei's fist struck the turtle shell, producing a tremendous sound.
“What technique is this? It seems to have very strong defensive capabilities.”
Ye Yunfei looked at the energy-condensed turtle shell in surprise.
“Let's see how many of my punches you can withstand.”
Ye Yunfei's fists shot out like alternating bolts of lightning, each punch using all his strength.
*Clang, clang, clang…*
Dozens of punches were unleashed almost instantaneously. After these dozens of strikes, the Deity suffered a massive impact and was sent flying backward.
“His strength is actually this immense.”
The other Deities, seeing this scene, were all deeply shocked.
“This is the terror of a body-temperer. In close-quarters combat like this, body-temperers often hold the advantage.”
The six elders from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds all nodded in agreement.
After repelling this Deity with dozens of punches, Ye Yunfei turned and charged toward another Deity. He knew the most important thing now was to disrupt these ten-plus Deities, preventing them from focusing on transmitting energy to the black cloth.
Just as Ye Yunfei and the six elders began to act, within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, the Chaos World Tree revealed its true form, transforming into a towering giant tree.
Furthermore, its colossal trunk grew continuously in the void, becoming taller and larger with every breath. In just a few breaths, it occupied a vast expanse of the void.
Seen from afar, the towering tree was truly awe-inspiring.
As for the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, it transformed into a golden-robed youth who sat cross-legged beside Hun Lao. Then, Hun Lao began to execute a sophisticated spatial secret art of his race.
Lush green branches sprouted wildly, and a large number of roots also grew endlessly, piercing through the surrounding space.
They penetrated deep into the space. Following Hun Lao's guidance, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also began to perform the spatial secret art of its own race, helping Hun Lao stabilize the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Not long after, everyone was astonished to see a green ring of light materialize in the space surrounding Hun Lao.
After this green ring appeared, it began to continuously expand, slowly extending outwards into the space in all directions, like a green balloon being steadily inflated.
Finally, this green ring of light actually enveloped the entire void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Then, it blossomed with rolling green radiance, standing as a rival to the black cloth that shrouded the outside.
Originally, after the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds was enveloped by that external black cloth, Xiaoyao Banshen's Divine Tribulation had been greatly affected, becoming extremely unstable and teetering on the verge of collapse. Simultaneously, all the Great Dao Laws within the bounds of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds began to be forcibly siphoned away.
However, once this green ring enveloped the void of the Three Thousand Worlds, Xiaoyao Banshen's Divine Tribulation began to proceed normally once again, with rolling thunderbolts and lightning cascading down from the heavens.
“My Divine Tribulation has started progressing normally again!”
Xiaoyao Banshen perceived this and couldn't help but feel immense delight.
“Not good! What the hell is that green ring?
How can it affect the Severing Opportunity Cloth's function?”
The ten-plus Deities of the Guardian Faction outside soon discovered something was amiss. That black piece of cloth had already stopped siphoning away the Great Dao Laws inside the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Thus, this black Severing Opportunity Cloth could no longer hinder or disrupt Xiaoyao Banshen's Divine Tribulation.
“We must continue transmitting energy into the Severing Opportunity Cloth for it to exert its maximum power.”
The lead Deity transmitted to the others.
Just moments before, they had been disrupted by Ye Yunfei and the six elders and had already stopped transmitting energy to the black cloth.
*Rumble…*
The ten Deities of the Guardian Faction simultaneously retreated, disengaging from Ye Yunfei and the six elders, and began pouring a steady stream of their Deity-level energy into the black Severing Opportunity Cloth.
“We must stop them from continuing to transmit energy to that black cloth!”
Seeing this, Kang Wan immediately transmitted to Ye Yunfei and the others.
He charged forward first, the large banner above his head stirring the celestial winds, releasing rolling waves of energy that swept towards the ten Deities.
This large banner was a highly sophisticated magical treasure, jointly activated by the six elders. Wherever it went, it was unmatched.
The ten Deities had no choice but to retreat again. Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei, using the Nine Dragons Supreme Steps, had already arrived behind a Deity with astonishing speed. With his left hand, he executed the Imperial Dao Divine Fist, and with his right, the Great Force Divine Fist, attacking simultaneously.
“Ye Yunfei, you seek death!”
This Deity, sensing Ye Yunfei appear behind him, immediately roared in fury. Then, thirty-six white long blades shot out from within his body.
This was a set of magical treasures. A matched set of divine artifacts generally possessed remarkable power.
This Deity belonged to the Guardian Faction and was highly regarded by one of its upper echelons, who specifically bestowed this set of divine artifact-level treasures upon him.
*Clang, clang, clang…*
Ye Yunfei's fists were fast as lightning, continuously clashing with the thirty-six white blades.
“How is this possible?
This brat's physical quality is actually so tough! My set of treasures actually cannot injure his fists?”
Seeing Ye Yunfei actually block his thirty-six blades head-on with his bare fists, this Deity couldn't quite believe it.
Little did he know that Ye Yunfei had already fused a massive quantity of divine-grade materials, as well as divine artifact-level treasures. One could say that Ye Yunfei's current body *was* a divine artifact—and a rather high-quality one at that. So naturally, he could clash directly with these white blades.
After deflecting the thirty-six white blades, Ye Yunfei did not continue fighting this Deity. Instead, he employed his movement technique and instantly appeared before another Deity, launching a frenzied assault.
Ye Yunfei's primary objective now was to disrupt and prevent these Deities from continuing to transmit energy to the black cloth.
Kang Wan and the other five elders also adopted a similar combat style to Ye Yunfei, utilizing their swift movement techniques to take turns attacking each of the opposing Deities, depriving them of the time and opportunity to transmit energy into the black cloth.
Though each of the ten Deities from the Guardian Faction was hopping mad with fury, they could do nothing about it, because both Ye Yunfei and those six elders possessed formidable combat strength.
At this moment, within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, the green ring, jointly maintained by Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, stood in contention with the external black cloth. It completely neutralized the black cloth's sealing and isolating effect on the void of the Three Thousand Worlds and prevented it from continuing to siphon away the Great Dao Laws of this space. Consequently, Xiaoyao Banshen's Divine Tribulation continued to proceed normally.
Earlier, before going out, Kang Wan and the other five elders had transmitted some key points and precautions regarding undergoing the Divine Tribulation to Xiaoyao Banshen. Having received guidance from the six elders, Xiaoyao Banshen found the tribulation process much easier, knowing every step, link, and various precautions beforehand.
In addition, Ye Yunfei had given him a large batch of treasures specifically for weathering tribulations. During the process, Xiaoyao Banshen continuously took out these treasures to aid him. As a result, his Divine Tribulation proceeded very smoothly, everything unfolding step-by-step.
“Hahaha, it seems this time my divine ascension is destined for success. I am about to become a Deity!”
Xiaoyao Banshen couldn't help but laugh heartily.
“In this void, without the approval of our Guardian Faction, no one should harbor the delusion of undergoing tribulation to ascend to Deityhood!”
Just at this moment, a booming voice sounded, rolling from the distant void towards the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Then, everyone saw a massive blade projection cleaving through the void towards the Three Thousand Worlds.
