"Let's move. Don't waste time."
The Intermediate Void God strode forward. By this time, Ye Yunfei had already collected most of the Star Mother Sand from within that shattered star, leaving only a small portion.
"Ye Yunfei, I've heard of you for a long time, but I simply never had the chance to run into you. That's why you've been lucky enough to live until now. Since you've run into my hands today, it means your death has arrived."
That Intermediate Void God from the Guardian Faction looked at Ye Yunfei with a cold gaze and spoke.
His speed was astonishing. He had almost instantly closed in on Ye Yunfei, and a fearsome energy pressure surged out, instantly sealing off the space where Ye Yunfei stood, making him feel immense pressure.
"The strength of an Intermediate Void God is indeed formidable," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
The other four Watcher Deities also closed in. Five deities now encircled Ye Yunfei, Cui Hong, and Xiao Xiao.
"Let's go."
Cui Hong wasted no words. He took a step forward and charged straight at that Intermediate Void God.
"A mere energy body dares to attack me on its own initiative? Fine! I'll exterminate this energy body of yours today, and after I return, I'll go to the Fire World and wipe out the Fire Clan."
Seeing Cui Hong actually attacking him first, that Intermediate Void God couldn't help but grow cold-faced.
"Little bastard Ye Yunfei! You actually dared to kill a Watcher Deity! That is a monstrous crime! Not only you, but the Three Thousand Worlds and Grand Alliance Army will also be implicated and face their reckoning sooner or later!"
One of the Deities pointed a finger at Ye Yunfei and shouted in rebuke.
The news that Ye Yunfei had killed a Watcher Deity had already spread through Voidsea. For all members of the Guardian Faction, this was a humiliation beyond endurance.
Ye Yunfei's will stirred. He immediately unleashed a Soul Sword and the Formless Heart Sword, attacking that Deity's soul sea.
As his strength continually improved, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power level had also been continuously rising. The power of the Soul Swords he could now unleash was naturally far stronger.
"Die!"
Even as he was unleashing the Soul Sword and Formless Heart Sword, Ye Yunfei had already rushed towards that Deity at astonishing speed.
Whoosh...
Several thick green vines simultaneously appeared in the space around this Deity, like ferocious green dragons pouncing to kill him.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
One gigantic dragon phantom after another continuously manifested behind Ye Yunfei, emitting roars of fury.
At the same time, the phantom image of an emperor manifested behind Ye Yunfei. Then, four massive golden light spheres burst forth from his dantian, soaring into the air to float and sink above his head, radiating rolling golden light.
After successfully cultivating the fourth layer of the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture, every single divine art and combat skill that Ye Yunfei now unleashed saw a drastic increase in power.
That Deity being attacked by Ye Yunfei suddenly faced attacks from so many different techniques and secret arts. He was caught off guard, both shocked and enraged. With a furious roar, five or six Deity-grade magical treasures shot out from his body, all simultaneously activating to bombard Ye Yunfei.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Ye Yunfei's two fists punched out like lightning, alternating strikes. His left fist executed the Hercules Divine Fist, his right fist unleashed the Imperial Divine Fist. With each punch, he smashed a Deity-grade magical treasure away, instantly sending all five or six treasures flying.
"How is this possible?!"
This Deity faced Ye Yunfei's storm-like, fierce attacks and was forced into a frantic scramble, stepping back again and again, his face pale.
"Quick! Help! This kid is terrifying!"
This Deity finally grew scared and shouted loudly.
The other three Deities hadn't expected Ye Yunfei to suddenly erupt into action, nor that his offensive would be so swift and dreadful. They roared furiously and charged over to join the fight.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, within the space around their bodies appeared a vast quantity of brilliantly colored flowers. These flowers rotated at extreme speed, dense and thick like an overwhelming tide cutting towards their bodies from all directions.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei punched that Deity, sending him flying.
This Deity had only just recently broken through and become a Deity. He simply wasn't Ye Yunfei's match.
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed as he gave chase. Swinging his fists, he continued to unleash a ferocious assault.
"I wonder what kind of power these Nine Divine Beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel can exhibit against a Deity now?"
The thought suddenly crossed Ye Yunfei's mind. In the next instant, the nine divine beasts simultaneously appeared beside Ye Yunfei, then all together pounced to attack that Deity.
These nine divine beasts had refined some Deity-grade cultivation resources not long ago, and their combat strength had drastically improved. Facing a Primary Void God, they now displayed formidable attacking prowess.
The nine divine beasts surrounded that Deity and launched a frenzied assault, while Ye Yunfei also swung his fists and charged over.
After a few exchanges, Ye Yunfei punched that Deity again, sending him flying once more.
"Everyone, save me! Quick!"
Realizing he was no match at all, this Deity turned and fled while screaming in terror.
Yet how could Ye Yunfei easily let him go? He activated the Vines of the Piercing Heavens, and dozens of thick green vines appeared ahead, blocking this Deity's path.
Ye Yunfei, leading the nine divine beasts, pounced to attack again. After another few moves, bang! This Deity's body was punched into explosion by Ye Yunfei, shattered into pieces, with flesh, blood, and bone fragments scattering through the air.
"Ah!"
This Deity let out a miserable cry. His flesh, blood, and bones, which had been scattered by the blow, quickly rushed together, hastily forming a bloody, disfigured remnant of a body that didn't resemble a human form at all. Using all his strength, he desperately fled into the distance.
Seeing this, the other three Deities grew somewhat anxious and wanted to charge over to stop Ye Yunfei from pursuing that Deity further. However, Xiao Xiao unleashed divine arts of the Flower Goddess Palace, creating a vast sea of flowers that engulfed these three Deities in layer upon layer of floral expanse.
While Xiao Xiao might not be capable of fighting three Deities at once, she was more than capable of delaying them for a little while.
"You can't escape."
Ye Yunfei roared, charged forward, and punched again, exploding that Deity's body which had been struggling to reform.
"Now it's my turn."
Seeing Ye Yunfei had exploded this Deity's physical body, Huang Shang immediately appeared beside Ye Yunfei and began utilizing Ghost Cultivation techniques to deal with this Deity's Soul Body.
All sorts of Ghost Cultivation techniques were extremely effective when dealing with Soul Bodies, and he quickly managed to restrain this Deity's soul.
Ye Yunfei summoned his Vampire Clone. While repeatedly smashing apart this Deity's fleshly body as it attempted to reform, he allowed the Vampire Clone to refine and absorb this Deity's bloodline essence.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei also executed the Soul Power Star method. Over a dozen Soul Power stars rushed out from his soul sea and, together with Hun Lao, dealt with this Deity's Soul Body.
"Ah!"
"No!"
"Ye Yunfei! I'm not convinced! You're clearly just a junior at the Perfected Demigod realm! How can you be so strong?!"
This Deity seemed terribly unwilling, letting out furious roars.
"You little bastard Ye Yunfei, just you wait! I will definitely take revenge for today's humiliation!"
This Deity shouted angrily, and then his Soul Body suddenly exploded, transforming into five or six soul phantoms that fled in different directions.
Ye Yunfei momentarily couldn't distinguish which of these five or six soul phantoms was the true main body. Hesitating for just that instant, the five or six soul phantoms had already escaped into the distance.
"Deities are indeed hard to kill," the Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm sighed.
"A pity. We fought to this extent yet still didn't manage to finish him off."
Ye Yunfei shook his head, knowing he likely wouldn't catch up if he gave chase now. So, he turned and charged towards the three Deities who were engaged with Xiao Xiao.
At this moment, Cui Hong and that Intermediate Void God were fiercely locked in combat.
"How is this possible?!"
"He's just an energy body! How can he fight me to such an extent?!"
This Intermediate Void God from the Guardian Faction, who couldn't gain the slightest upper hand against Cui Hong in their fight, couldn't help but feel both shocked and furious.
"This is bad! Ye Yunfei's combat power is a lot stronger than before!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei charging towards them, the three Deities fighting Xiao Xiao were given a fright.
They had seen very clearly how Ye Yunfei had utterly thrashed that other Deity.
"Your turn now."
Ye Yunfei fixed his gaze on one of the Deities and sneered. He immediately charged towards him.
"Ye Yunfei, consider yourself vicious!"
This Deity's first reaction was to turn and flee.
Ye Yunfei had previously killed a Watcher Deity outside the Fire World, and had just almost killed another Watcher Deity. One could say the tremendous combat power Ye Yunfei had displayed had thoroughly intimidated these Guardian Faction Deities.
Seeing their companion flee, the other two Deities sensed something amiss and also, simultaneously exerting their utmost efforts, retreated rapidly, putting distance between themselves and Ye Yunfei.
"What are you doing?!"
"There's no need to be so afraid of this kid! Let's attack together!"
Seeing this scene, the Intermediate Void God fighting Cui Hong was both shocked and infuriated, and shouted a stern reprimand.
"Sir Jia! Ye Yunfei's combat power is too terrifying! And that Flower Goddess Palace bitch is also very strong! We are no match!"
Those three Primary Void Gods of the Guardian Faction quickly retreated into the distance, then turned and shouted back.
The higher a cultivator's realm and the greater their strength, the more they tended to cherish their lives. These Deities before them had struggled immensely to cultivate to Deityhood, becoming supreme top-tier powerhouses high above all else in this stretch of the void, their might shaking the world. Such a glorious and esteemed existence was too enthralling; they had no wish to perish here, where everything would turn to emptiness.
"Hmph! A bunch of cowards!"
Seeing his few companions all hiding in the distance, that Intermediate Void God's expression turned extremely unpleasant.
"Ye Yunfei, consider yourself lucky this time. You wait. Next time I meet you, I'll definitely take your life."
This Intermediate Void God realized he couldn't defeat Cui Hong anytime soon. On top of that, with Ye Yunfei and Xiao Xiao nearby, eyes fixed covetously on them, ready to join the battle at any moment, he knew if he continued fighting, he probably wouldn't gain much advantage anyway. So, he gritted his teeth and spoke, then turned and left.
Cui Hong knew this Intermediate Void God wanted to leave and that he couldn't stop him, so he didn't give chase.
"Young Master Ye, there's still some Star Mother Sand over there. Quickly take it."
Cui Hong said to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei immediately went over and took all of the Star Mother Sand that remained in the core area of that shattered star.
"Let's go. We're heading to that herb garden."
"That herb garden contains many precious medicinal herbs. Their value is beyond estimation."
Cui Hong said. Leading Ye Yunfei and Xiao Xiao, he strode off in a certain direction.
"Senior, are there any shape-shifting divine herbs inside?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
"Very likely," Cui Hong replied.
"Shape-shifting divine herbs!"
Upon hearing this, both Ye Yunfei and Xiao Xiao were invigorated.
