Not even Ye Yunfei himself knew what was happening. One after another, figures blazing with rolling divine radiance emerged, and in moments, the space surrounding Ye Yunfei was completely filled with them.
These figures were not only numerous, but each one was exceptionally massive, resembling giant after giant.
Boom rumble rumble…
As these figures continuously walked out from within Ye Yunfei's body, the energy and laws within the entire expanse of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds' void space began to violently boil, like a pot of water at full boil.
'What's happening?'
In that moment, all those inside and outside the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds who witnessed this scene were shocked to the extreme. Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm were originally performing their spatial secret techniques to protect the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. But at this time, they could not spare a thought for anything else and simultaneously rushed towards Ye Yunfei's position. However, they were immediately rebounded back, blocked by the energy radiating from those densely packed figures.
'Just what in the world is going on? How can so many figures walk out from within your body?' the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but shout towards Ye Yunfei.
'I don't know what's happening either,' Ye Yunfei replied.
At this moment, that long spear which had thrust towards Ye Yunfei was long since blocked by those massive figures.
After being struck by the spear, those figures merely distorted for a moment, like water hit by a stone, and quickly returned to their original forms.
The spear, having struck several figures in a row, was unexpectedly exhausted of energy and stopped there, unable to advance further.
'How is this possible?'
The brawny man simply couldn't believe it. With his strength, those illusory figures around Ye Yunfei's body should have been crushed with a single blow, yet they were actually blocking his spear.
'Have you noticed that the aura of these figures feels somewhat familiar, a sense of déjà vu?' Just then, Hun Lao suddenly sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
'Somewhat familiar?'
Hearing Hun Lao's Sound Transmission, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.
Could it be…?
A sudden thought sprang up in Ye Yunfei's mind at that moment, leaving him somewhat astonished.
'I feel the aura of these figures is a bit like that of the Yin Seed you refined in the past,' Hun Lao sent another Sound Transmission.
'Yes, I have that feeling too. The aura of these figures is somewhat similar to that of the Yin Seed from before,' the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also sent a Sound Transmission.
Under normal circumstances, Sound Transmissions between Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and a few others could be heard by each other, as they had long since formed a very harmonious small group, accustomed to discussing matters together.
'Do you remember? In the past, ancient divine marks also walked out from within your body, so I suspect that all those figures walking out from your body now are also marks left behind by ancient deities of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. It's just that the strength of these marks is so astonishingly powerful, actually able to withstand that guy's attack—that's what's truly surprising,' Hun Lao sent another Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
'Brat, trying to mystify and deceive! I don't believe that an ant-like thing like you can play any tricks before me!' the brawny man roared, gripping his long spear with both hands, and thrust it fiercely towards Ye Yunfei.
Instantly, billions of dazzling, blinding spear-light erupted, completely igniting a vast expanse of the void, even illuminating every single detail of the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds with those dazzling lights.
At the same moment, that Severance Cloth outside the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds played a massive role, causing Xiaoyao Banshen's deity tribulation to teeter on the edge of collapse.
Moreover, within the space surrounding Xiaoyao Banshen, all laws of the great dao had been siphoned away.
In this way, Xiaoyao Banshen, while undergoing his tribulation, could not come into contact with any laws of the great dao, unable to draw these laws into his body. He could not achieve the effect of refining his body with ten thousand laws. This meant that Xiaoyao Banshen's deity ascension tribulation this time was about to fail.
'Guardian Faction! You lot of beasts just wait! From this moment forward, I, Xiaoyao Banshen, will have an everlasting feud of life and death with you!' In desperation and rage, Xiaoyao Banshen roared.
His first attempt at a deity tribulation was ruined by the Guardian Faction. Now his second attempt was also about to be ruined by them. The bitterness and fury in his heart were simply indescribable.
'An ant not even worthy of being called a dog—what right do you have to speak of an everlasting feud with our Guardian Faction? Truly overestimating yourself.' Seeing that Xiaoyao Banshen's deity tribulation was finally about to be destroyed, the ten deities outside the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds burst into raucous laughter, with one of them speaking out.
'Within this expanse of void, without the permission of our Guardian Faction, no one is allowed to undergo a tribulation and become a deity. The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are no exception,' another deity said while laughing wildly.
'The Guardian Faction is truly too tyrannical, too domineering!'
'It can't be helped; their strength is too overwhelming. Within the entire Chaotic Void Sea, there is now no force left that can oppose them. Whoever dares disobey them will meet destruction.'
'Forget it, let's not discuss such matters. What if the Guardian Faction finds out? We'd be dead with nowhere to bury our bones.'
…
At this time, the void at a distance surrounding the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds was already packed with a large number of beings who had come to witness the spectacle. Seeing that Xiaoyao Banshen's tribulation was about to be destroyed, discussions arose one after another.
Of course, everyone used Sound Transmissions to discuss privately; no one dared to talk openly in front of the Guardian Faction members.
It could be said that during this period, the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had completely become one of the focal points within this expanse of the Void Sea.
Because everyone knew that the Guardian Faction was moving against the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Including the previous offensive against the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds by the Guardian Faction alliance army, and this time the Guardian Faction deities attempting to stop Xiaoyao Banshen's deity tribulation—all were events that had shaken the entire Chaotic Void Sea.
At that moment, within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, the brawny man gripped his spear and instantly thrust it to before Ye Yunfei once more.
'Brat, go and die!' The brawny man's body surged with terrifying god-level energy, making the surrounding space tremble and shake as if unable to withstand his fearsome power, on the verge of collapse.
Facing this brawny man's attack, Ye Yunfei had no ability to resist whatsoever, as his opponent's power was too terrifying. The intensity of his energy completely overwhelmed Ye Yunfei. Moreover, with every move, he could mobilize the laws of the great dao in the surrounding space, exerting overwhelming suppression upon Ye Yunfei.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei could only exert all his strength to retreat constantly. However, before that brawny man's spear could strike Ye Yunfei's body, it was once again blocked by one after another figure radiating rolling divine radiance.
'How can this be? Just what are these ghostly things? They can actually face and block my attacks!' Seeing his attack blocked again by those figures, the brawny man was both shocked and enraged to the extreme.
With a wave of his hand, a black pagoda appeared before him. It had six layers in total, and on each layer sat ethereal deity figures with auras that felt strange and mysterious.
This six-layered pagoda soared into the air, continuously growing larger. It released fearsome suppressing energy, pressing down towards the figures surrounding Ye Yunfei.
Originally, the figures around Ye Yunfei's body were simply standing there quietly, showing no movement, as if ethereal illusions without any consciousness.
But when that black pagoda was activated and suppressed towards them, all these figures suddenly looked up simultaneously, seemingly come to life. Fierce and intimidating light shot forth from the eyes of every figure.
Moreover, the divine radiance released from these figures became even more dazzling and brilliant. It was as if each figure had fully transformed into a true deity.
'The laws of the great dao of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds dare someone to destroy them? This is the gravest provocation against the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!'
Suddenly, no one knew which figure spoke out. Rolling sound instantly propagated across the surrounding void, causing resonance throughout this vast, boundless stretch of space. All those present felt their eardrums buzzing, and even their Soul Bodies swayed unsteadily. They couldn't help but pale in dread.
'How can this be? What exactly is the origin of these figures? To possess such terrifying power.'
Just as everyone was filled with suspicion and uncertainty, the massive figures around Ye Yunfei's body suddenly all moved at once. They charged outward toward the void beyond the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, then simultaneously threw punches at the black Severance Cloth enveloping the surroundings of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
As those figures swung their fists, a mighty torrent of fist force instantly erupted. The boxing techniques used by these figures were not the same; almost every figure employed a unique boxing technique. Each fist technique's power was extremely fearsome, giving people a feeling of profound and endless mystery.
Boom rumble rumble…
That black Severance Cloth was simultaneously struck by the fists of those figures, shaking violently. Then, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, it was sent flying away into the distance.
The inner and outer voids of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were instantly reconnected. That previous vast expanse of pitch blackness also vanished. The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds' seal was directly broken.
'How can this be?' The Severance Cloth was a very advanced divine-level magic treasure, yet it was sent flying in a single strike by these figures of unknown origin. The deities of the Guardian Faction witnessing this simply couldn't believe it.
Simultaneously with the Severance Cloth being sent flying, the ten deities who had been continuously channeling energy into it suffered a backlash and were also thrown back with the cloth. Each had traces of fresh blood seeping from the corners of their mouths, clearly injured.
'Not good, my lords! The power of these figures of unknown origin is too strong. We have all been injured.' The ten deities hurriedly sent a Sound Transmission to Wu Tao and that brawny man.
'Brat, just what the hell is going on? This must be your doing. As long as I kill you, those figures of unknown origin will naturally dissipate.' The brawny man, seeing the Severance Cloth sent flying, was both alarmed and enraged. His gaze turned to Ye Yunfei, and he roared fiercely.
Then, he raised the spear in his hand, gripping it tightly with both hands, and attacked Ye Yunfei once again.
Originally, Ye Yunfei had already moved far away from this brawny man. But this brawny man's movement speed was too terrifying. Furthermore, that spear in his hand was also mysterious. Once aimed at Ye Yunfei, it instantly pierced through space, completely disregarding the distance between them, and in a flash, was thrusting towards Ye Yunfei's front. Ye Yunfei's body was once again suppressed, unable to move.
'Excellent!'
At this moment, the six elders of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds witnessed this turn of events. First, they were utterly astonished; then, delight surged within them. They quickly exchanged Sound Transmissions, speculating about the origins of those figures.
When they saw Ye Yunfei under attack again from the brawny man, they paled in alarm and immediately charged into the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, rushing towards Ye Yunfei's position to protect him.
However, right at this moment, more figures, one after another, walked out from within Ye Yunfei's body. These figures shone with rolling divine radiance. Moreover, at the moment these figures emerged from within Ye Yunfei's body, they seemed to instantly cause all energy and laws of the great dao in the surrounding void to boil fiercely.
These figures seemed to have some connection with the energy and laws within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds' void—even belonging to a single entity.
Boom rumble rumble…
Within the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, numerous strands of extremely powerful divine-level energies manifested. These god-level energies directly flowed into those figures. Simultaneously, a vast number of laws of the great dao also gathered continuously, rushing into these figures. In an instant, these figures became even more dazzling and blinding, and also possessed an extremely fearsome level of power.
'Just what exactly is happening? Why do I feel that as soon as these figures step out from your body, massive amounts of energy and laws from the surrounding space immediately converge into their bodies? It's as if these energies and laws originally belonged together with these figures.' Hun Lao possessed very strong perception regarding space. By now, he had already returned to Ye Yunfei's side. Sensing those figures, he suddenly made this discovery and sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
'Yes, I have the same feeling. It's as if within the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, there were hidden many energies and laws that originally belonged to these figures. Now that these figures appear, those energies and laws immediately return to their origin,' the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also said.
With a large number of figures appearing once again around Ye Yunfei's body, the spear thrust by the brawny man was blocked once more. Then, the six elders of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds rushed to Ye Yunfei's side, simultaneously releasing their energy auras to confront the brawny man.
'Young Master Ye, what on earth is going on?' The six elders all looked at Ye Yunfei with questioning gazes.
'Seniors, for the moment, I also don't know exactly what is happening. But I do have some suspicions. However, right now the most important thing is to deal with the current situation,' Ye Yunfei replied.
'Very well, we won't question you further for now. Let's handle the situation at hand,' the six elders, upon receiving Ye Yunfei's Sound Transmission, nodded simultaneously.
Due to the Severance Cloth being sent flying, Xiaoyao Banshen's deity tribulation returned to normal. All those laws of the great dao that had been siphoned away earlier now directly returned to the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
'My deity tribulation has returned to normal!' Xiaoyao Banshen exclaimed, both shocked and overjoyed.
It could be said that this ascension process of his was fraught with peril, interrupted several times in succession. Fortunately, it was now back to normal, making the entire process incredibly intense.
