"Three lords, although that little beast Ye Yunfei's cultivation realm is a Perfected Demigod, his physique is incredibly formidable. His physical strength has already reached the Deity level. He should be in a state of achieving godhood through pure physical cultivation," a Soul Body said.
"So that's how it is. Achieving Deity level through physical cultivation is indeed somewhat terrifying. Generally speaking, refining one's physical strength to reach the level of a Deity is extremely difficult. Throughout history, among those who pursued purely physical cultivation and succeeded in attaining godhood, even in ancient times, such individuals were exceedingly rare, let alone in this era.
But every individual who can achieve godhood through physical cultivation is extremely fearsome. In primordial times, there was once a powerhouse who relied on physical cultivation to attain godhood and dominated an entire epoch, overwhelming so many Deities of his time that they couldn't lift their heads. That was the ancient Great Strength Deity.
Therefore, we cannot underestimate any powerhouse who has achieved Deity level through pure physical cultivation," an Advanced Void God spoke.
"Indeed, achieving godhood through physical cultivation is terrifying. Back when the Great Strength Deity roamed the Chaotic Void Sea, I was akin to an ant beneath his feet. I never thought in this era someone has also achieved godhood through physical cultivation, and it's actually a young lad. This Ye Yunfei cannot be allowed to remain. He must be eliminated. If we let him continue growing, he will definitely become a serious future threat to our Guardian Faction," another Advanced Void God stated.
"Ye Yunfei belongs to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. When we attack the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, he is bound to show himself. We'll simply eliminate him at that time.
Although achieving godhood through physical cultivation is monstrous, he hasn't fully grown yet. We'll just nip him in the bud," yet another Advanced Void God slowly interjected.
"Three lords, when will we move against the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?" one of the Intermediate Void Gods from the Guardian Faction standing beside the three Advanced Void Gods asked.
"I need to enter seclusion to cultivate a technique during this period. Let's do this: we set out half a month from now to annihilate the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, along with the Colorless Abyss.
The Colorless Abyss was already quite a famous forbidden land in ancient times. Let's enter and see what lies within."
After the three Advanced Void Gods discussed among themselves briefly, one of them spoke.
"Pass down the order. Have everyone make preparations.
Half a month from now, we depart to wipe out the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and the Colorless Abyss," that Advanced Void God continued.
At the same time, within the headquarters of the Dark Faction, after receiving the news from the Fire Realm, the high-ranking members of the Dark Faction immediately gathered in the council hall, the atmosphere rather heavy.
"Ye Yunfei... that young man's combat power is truly that terrifying?
Whether it's Primary or Intermediate Void Gods, he can blow them apart with a single punch?" a Deity of the Dark Faction seated at the center of the hall slowly inquired.
"Yes. Many of our Dark Faction scouts witnessed the entire process of that battle. The combat prowess Ye Yunfei displayed was extremely terrifying. Neither Primary nor Intermediate Void Gods were a match for him.
He struck down those Deities of the Guardian Faction one by one, obliterating many in succession. According to the latest reports, only three or four Soul Bodies from the Guardian Faction forces managed to escape. The rest of the Guardian Faction's army was completely annihilated," a Dark Faction elder specializing in intelligence stepped forward and reported respectfully.
"If that lad Ye Yunfei's strength is truly that terrifying, then our Dark Faction is currently no match for him at all. For although we do possess several Deities, they are all only Primary Void Gods.
Therefore, starting from now, our Dark Faction must lay low. For the time being, we should not provoke Ye Yunfei."
The other high-ranking members of the Dark Faction present remained silent.
Everyone understood that if Ye Yunfei truly possessed such fearsome power, the current Dark Faction would simply be no match.
At the same time, within the headquarters of the Source Fire Sect, its high-ranking members had also gathered.
"How is this possible?
How could that little beast Ye Yunfei possess such terrifying combat power?"
After receiving the news from the Fire Realm, the Source Fire Sect leadership was somewhat panicked.
Because if the news was accurate and Ye Yunfei could easily pulverize Primary and Intermediate Void Gods, then the current Source Fire Sect was far from being Ye Yunfei's opponent.
After all, within the current Source Fire Sect, there were only four Primary Deities in total.
"Everyone, if that little beast Ye Yunfei comes looking for trouble with our Source Fire Sect, we would simply be no match for him," one of the high-ranking members voiced his worry.
"No need to worry. Our Source Fire Sect is an ally of the Guardian Faction. If that kid Ye Yunfei truly comes to make trouble for us, we will immediately call upon the Guardian Faction for aid. The Guardian Faction will certainly not stand idly by," another Source Fire Sect high-ranking member said.
Meanwhile, within the headquarters of the Heavenly God Hall, the high-ranking members of Heavenly God Hall were also gathered, discussing matters concerning Ye Yunfei.
Every Heavenly God Hall high-ranking member's expression was rather grim, because they understood the depth of the grudge between Heavenly God Hall and Ye Yunfei. Now that Ye Yunfei possessed such terrifying power, if he came seeking revenge, Heavenly God Hall would most likely be unable to withstand him.
After some deliberation, Heavenly God Hall's high-ranking members reached a decision similar to the Source Fire Sect's: if Ye Yunfei came to cause trouble, they would immediately request assistance from the Guardian Faction.
Beyond this, the high-ranking members of the Demon Race, the Monster Race, the Upper Purity Sect, and other major powers were also discussing Ye Yunfei's situation. In the end, each major faction issued orders instructing their members not to casually provoke Ye Yunfei from this point forward.
One could say, that major battle in the Fire Realm had truly established Ye Yunfei's formidable reputation.
At this time, Ye Yunfei had already returned to the void region where the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were located.
Ye Yunfei stopped before the Three Thousand Worlds, his cold gaze sweeping across the surrounding space.
Sure enough, the Guardian Faction had already dispatched people to surround the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds completely.
Ye Yunfei saw that the area around the Three Thousand Worlds was filled with Guardian Faction troops.
"Let's kill as many as there are," Ye Yunfei sneered.
He then took out a black cloth bag and quietly released ten puppets.
These puppets melted into space, silently approaching the Guardian Faction forces in the distance, then suddenly appeared and attacked together.
Each puppet brandished a thick stone staff. The stone staffs continuously enlarged as they swept forward. The Guardian Faction troops hadn't even understood what was happening before they were struck by the huge stone staffs, exploding into one cloud of blood mist after another, their forms and spirits utterly annihilated.
These ordinary-strength Guardian Faction forces were far too weak before these ten Deity-level puppets. It was like ten ferocious tigers slaughtering a large flock of baby chicks.
A moment later, before the Guardian Faction troops surrounding the Three Thousand Worlds could figure out what was happening, they were all exterminated by the ten puppets—with total annihilation of body and soul.
Their physical bodies and Soul Bodies were both blasted apart, turning into nothingness.
After recalling the ten puppets, Ye Yunfei sent out his Blood Clan clone, allowing it to absorb and refine the flesh and blood essence of those Guardian Faction soldiers.
As for Huang Shang, he was currently attempting his breakthrough to the Yin God realm. With Huang Shang's current strength, he wouldn't be interested in the Soul Bodies of these ordinary-level beings.
Once the Blood Clan clone had refined and absorbed all the flesh and blood essence from the Guardian Faction troops, Ye Yunfei stepped into the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"Young Master Ye, you've finally returned!"
The moment Ye Yunfei entered the Three Thousand Worlds, six figures flew over from afar, landing before Ye Yunfei. They were precisely Kang Wan, Ding Qianjie, and the other five elders.
"Six elders, how are your injuries?" Ye Yunfei asked as soon as he saw them.
These six elders had previously been secluded within a world recovering from their wounds.
"We old fellows are fine now. We heard that the True Phoenix Tomb suddenly opened not long ago and many entered to explore and search for treasures. Young Master Ye, I presume you went as well?" Kang Wan said.
"Indeed, six elders. Some time ago, I did enter the True Phoenix Tomb for exploration and treasure hunting. My gains were not bad. These are all treasures beneficial to Soul Bodies, which I specifically brought back for you," Ye Yunfei replied, taking out six spatial rings and offering one to each of the six elders.
These six spatial rings contained numerous energy crystals, medicinal pills, herbs, and all kinds of heavenly treasures and rare materials beneficial to Soul Bodies.
Most of these treasures were acquired by Ye Yunfei within the True Phoenix Tomb. Knowing that these six elders were all in remnant soul states, general cultivation resources weren't very useful for them, but these treasures beneficial to Soul Bodies were most suitable for them.
"Hahaha...
Excellent, Young Master Ye. You are thoughtful. These items you brought back are indeed very useful for us. We gratefully accept them."
Perceiving the spatial rings Ye Yunfei offered, Kang Wan, Ding Qianjie, and the other elders were somewhat moved, as the treasures Ye Yunfei brought back from the True Phoenix Tomb were truly very beneficial for them.
"Six elders, I also acquired Divine King Fruits. I offer each of you one of these six Divine King Fruits," Ye Yunfei said, taking out six Divine King Fruits and offering one to each elder.
Of the Divine King Fruits he acquired in the True Phoenix Tomb, Ye Yunfei had used some and still had fourteen remaining. He had given one to the Flower Goddess Palace Master earlier, leaving thirteen now. He intended to give one to each of these six elders.
"Divine King Fruits!"
The six elders looked at the six Divine King Fruits Ye Yunfei produced, each one astonished.
"Divine King Fruits are treasures worth cities! To think you obtained so many! Your luck is truly exceptional!" the six elders marveled.
"However, Young Master Ye, in our current state, Divine King Fruits aren't of great use to us. Because we are all remnant souls. The cultivation resources you gave us earlier are actually more beneficial.
Divine King Fruits are far too precious. There's no need to waste them on us six old coots. You should keep them. They will certainly be of great use in the future."
The six elders all refused to accept them, returning the six Divine King Fruits to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei attempted to persuade them again, but the six elders adamantly refused. As they explained, Divine King Fruits indeed weren't very effective for their current remnant soul states and would be a waste. In the end, Ye Yunfei had no choice but to take back the six Divine King Fruits.
