Ye Yunfei knew that to deal with the Guardian Faction, he not only needed to defeat their forces in this particular void he was currently in, but in the future, he would undoubtedly have to face Guardian Factions from other voids as well.
"It seems I should find some people from other outside voids to understand the situation of the Guardian Faction in those places," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"I will say it one more time. This is our Guardian Faction's business. Those who have nothing to do with this should mind their own business, or else be prepared to face the wrath of our Guardian Faction!"
The leading Intermediate Void God from the Guardian Faction grew furious upon hearing the surrounding crowd dare to speak up like that, his face turning gloomy as he spoke.
These dozen or so Deities from the Guardian Faction who had just arrived hadn't fully grasped the situation. After appearing here and spotting Cui Hong, Ye Yunfei, and Xiao Xiao, their first thought was to attack. They hadn't considered that fighting might disturb the vast number of Deity corpses surrounding them.
"Is the Guardian Faction so incredible? If you dare to attack here and disturb these Deity corpses, implicating everyone, I guarantee I'll turn on you lot!"
A tall, burly man took a step forward, a violet-golden great hammer appearing in his hand as he raised it towards the Guardian Faction Deities and shouted loudly.
"Exactly! If you people really want to incur public wrath, then I don't give a damn about your whatever shit Guardian Faction! I won't be polite if that time comes."
Another corpulent man also stepped forward, speaking coldly. This fatso was an Intermediate Void God.
Many Deities in the surroundings were looking at the dozen-odd Guardian Faction members with unfriendly gazes.
"Very well, I'll remember all of you!" At this moment, the leading Guardian Faction Deity, seeing so many people around them showing hostile intent, realized they risked provoking public anger. Although the Guardian Faction had formidable strength in every void, if they antagonized so many people at once within the True Phoenix Tomb secret realm, they would gain little advantage if a large-scale fight broke out.
"You three, just wait. Our Guardian Faction will not let you three leave the True Phoenix Tomb alive," the leading Intermediate Void God said slowly, fixing his cold gaze on Cui Hong, Ye Yunfei, and Xiao Xiao.
Then he glared once more at the Deities who had spoken up earlier, clearly holding a grudge against them.
"Good. Then we'll see who really can't leave this secret realm alive," Ye Yunfei looked at the Intermediate Void God and replied coldly.
"Senior, Xiao Xiao, remember this guy clearly. When we get a chance, the three of us will join forces and kill him," Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to Cui Hong and Xiao Xiao.
"Fine! And not just that guy, the others too. From now on, whenever we get an opportunity, we'll act decisively and slay these Guardian Faction scum. The more we kill, the better."
Cui Hong nodded.
"I agree. We should strike as soon as we have the chance, let these guys know our power," Xiao Xiao had long been disgusted to the extreme with the Guardian Faction and immediately replied via Sound Transmission.
At this time, everyone was traversing this void, heading forward. As far as the eye could see, dense clusters of Deity corpses were suspended everywhere. These corpses continuously radiated rolling divine glows and released powerful energy auras, filling this void with a dreadful pressure.
"What happened here? Why are so many Deities fallen here?" Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"I heard that during a certain period in ancient times, the True Phoenix Divine Clan was an incredibly powerful race. But later, for some unknown reason, they abruptly declined and even perished. Could it be that the True Phoenix Divine Clan faced a large-scale invasion, leading to their extinction?" someone speculated.
"Are these numerous Deity corpses the remains of a battle from when the True Phoenix Divine Clan headquarters was invaded?" another said.
"I think that's very likely. These corpses are definitely leftovers from the battle when the True Phoenix Divine Clan was exterminated. Otherwise, there's simply no explanation for why so many Deities fell here," quite a few people chimed in agreement.
"The true headquarters of the True Phoenix Divine Clan is ahead, within a massive world!" Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.
Everyone's spirits lifted, and they all accelerated, rushing forward. Sure enough, not long after, a large world appeared ahead. However, the spatial barrier of this world had been breached. Looking in from the outside, one could see it contained an immensely vast continent.
"Is this the headquarters of the True Phoenix Divine Clan? This world's scale is truly enormous!"
"The True Phoenix Divine Clan was once a powerful race that once shook all heavens. It's not strange for the headquarters of such a super power to be of this scale."
"Why do I feel like the continent inside this world is larger than the entire scale of a normal world cluster outside? This is my first time seeing such a huge continent. Even if I wanted to traverse this continent, it would probably take me quite some time."
Looking in from the outside at the seemingly endless, expansive continent inside, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"It seems this must be the True Phoenix Divine Clan headquarters. Let's hurry inside! People have already gone in ahead of us. When it comes to treasure hunting, first come, first served! The later you are, the worse your chances!"
Someone shouted, and soon people began rushing into the massive world ahead. Naturally, no one wanted to fall behind. Everyone sped up, charging through the breach in the spatial barrier, while others entered through the world's proper entrances.
The news about the discovery of the True Phoenix Divine Clan headquarters had spread wider and wider. Those who received the message almost all rushed over immediately. Thus, there were already many people arriving, and even more were on their way.
"Let's get in quickly!" Cui Hong said to Ye Yunfei and Xiao Xiao.
Then the trio utilized their movement techniques and dashed into the world ahead.
The next moment, the three of them stood upon the ground. Looking around, a vast and magnificent land stretched out before them, utterly boundless to the eye.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei immediately discovered that within this continent, his Soul Force Energy was heavily suppressed. He found his Soul Force Energy could not cover the entire continent; he could only sense a small area.
Not just Ye Yunfei; soon, everyone else who entered the continent also discovered their Soul Force Energy was suppressed here.
"Oh no! Why do I feel my body has become much heavier? Not only is my flying speed slower inside this continent, but even my walking speed is slower than usual. What kind of strange restriction is this?"
Suddenly, many cried out in surprise.
"Everyone, be aware! This continent possesses a strange law – the Law of Gravity. We are affected by this law upon entering. Everything becomes heavier, including our own bodies. Hence, our movement speed is much slower than normal," an elderly man, who seemed to command respect, loudly warned everyone.
"Indeed! This really is the Law of Gravity. I encountered it once before in a secret realm. Within the area governed by the Law of Gravity, our bodies become heavier, our movements more laborious, and our speed slower."
"So this is the legendary Law of Gravity!"
"Entering this continent, my strength is heavily suppressed. The power of energy within my body is significantly weaker than before!"
...
After hearing the elder's words, everyone couldn't help but discuss fervently.
"The Law of Gravity is indeed an extremely rare law."
Hearing the chatter around him, Ye Yunfei immediately walked forward a distance, discovering his speed had indeed slowed compared to usual. Then he soared into the air and flew a distance above the continent, noticing his flying speed had also diminished.
"Oh no, Senior, Young Master Ye! My body has become extremely heavy. My movement speed is at least several dozen times slower than usual," Xiao Xiao cried out in a shocked voice.
After entering this world, Xiao Xiao immediately felt very uncomfortable; every movement required much more effort than normal.
On the other hand, Ye Yunfei's physical body was originally exceptionally strong. Moreover, his body had refined and fused a large amount of Star Mother Sand, making it exceedingly heavy. So even after entering the area governed by the Law of Gravity, the effect wasn't too significant on him; the feeling wasn't too pronounced.
Xiao Xiao was different. Her physical strength couldn't compare with Ye Yunfei's. Upon entering the zone controlled by the Law of Gravity, she immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.
Not just Xiao Xiao; most others who entered this world also felt very uncomfortable.
"Young Master Ye, I've noticed that after entering this world, you don't seem to sense the effects of the Law of Gravity too much unless others mention it. It appears that in places governed by the Law of Gravity, the stronger one's physical strength, the lesser the effect will be," Cui Hong suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
"That's right. When I first landed on this continent, I didn't distinctly perceive the presence of the Law of Gravity. Only after focusing my senses did I notice its effects. However, its influence on me doesn't seem significant. Especially when I employ my physical strength, I can resist its effects. So it seems it's indeed the case: the stronger the physical strength, the lighter the impact of the Law of Gravity."
Ye Yunfei nodded, replying to Cui Hong.
"Actually, I recall we may have encountered the Law of Gravity before, but the version here is more profound and can affect Deities," Hun Lao suddenly spoke up.
