"Since your Tianyue Sect has already colluded with the Guardian Faction, there is no longer any need for it to exist."
The Deity from the Restorer Faction said coldly.
"Hahaha, your Restorer Faction can hardly protect itself, and now you dare threaten our Tianyue Sect? Truly overestimating yourselves,"
the Tianyue Sect Leader laughed heartily.
"Attack."
The Restorer Deity did not waste any more words. With a wave of his hand, he gave a low, stern command.
Immediately, the Restorer members behind him swarmed forward, charging toward the Tianyue Sect forces.
Not long ago, these very Restorer forces were guarding this Tianyue Sect Leader during his tribulation. But now the two sides had become enemies, engaging in a fierce fight.
"The Restorer Faction truly toils without reward!
Their purpose is supposed to be for the good of the entire Void, protecting these Perfected Demigods undergoing their Divine Tribulation, yet those they protect immediately turn against them without a second thought."
From afar, Ye Yunfei watched this scene with icy eyes, while Hun Lao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"I don't even understand what the purpose of the Restorer Faction doing these things is. In my opinion, there's no need at all to concern themselves with the life or death of these people.
Whether they become Deities or not, is it really that important?"
The Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm also couldn't resist quipping.
"Perhaps it's a matter of conviction. After all, when the Restorer Faction was first established, its primary purpose was to protect all the Deities within this Void and unite everyone to resist the Guardian Faction.
If not for this purpose, then the Restorer Faction would have no reason to exist."
Ye Yunfei let out a sigh and then said softly.
"A matter of conviction?
Maybe."
The Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm said, curling its lip.
At this moment, the Tianyue Sect Leader and the Deity from the Restorer Faction had already begun fighting.
Although the Tianyue Sect Leader had only just broken through to Deity, he possessed a treasure of formidable power.
"It's actually an Intermediate Void God level treasure!
That's why he can fight evenly with the Restorer Faction Deity.
There is a Remnant Soul hidden within that treasure, likely belonging to an Intermediate Void God.
That Remnant Soul is controlling the treasure. Otherwise, a newly-ascended Primary Void God simply wouldn't be able to control an Intermediate Void God level treasure."
Hun Lao explained to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei had already discerned this.
"Alright. I'll just kill this fellow directly to avoid wasting time."
Ye Yunfei said, then prepared to act.
"Let me deal with him. Your power is already so strong. Give me a chance to gain some combat experience."
Just as Ye Yunfei was about to move, he received a sound transmission from Xiaoyao Shen.
Earlier, Ye Yunfei had given Xiaoyao Shen some divine pills, and he had entered the Phantom Tower to refine them, staying in seclusion until now.
"You want to fight him?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"Yes. I haven't fought anyone since becoming a Deity. This fellow in front of us just broke through recently, so his strength shouldn't be that high. He's perfect for me to practice on. I don't dare provoke the more powerful ones yet."
Xiaoyao Shen said.
"Alright then. You go deal with him. But be quick about it. I'm in a hurry."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then agreed.
Indeed, such an opportunity was rare for him.
Xiaoyao Shen immediately emerged from the Phantom Tower and, without another word, charged toward the Tianyue Sect Leader, launching an attack.
The Tianyue Sect Leader was locked in a fierce battle with the Restorer Deity. Although he was only a newly-ascended Deity, with the help of that Intermediate Void God level treasure, he fought the Restorer Deity to a stalemate. For the time being, it was hard to tell who would win. Their respective forces were also still locked in fierce combat.
The sounds of battle cries filled this world.
"Damned bastard, targeted by me, Xiaoyao Shen, you're dead today."
Xiaoyao Shen, emanating an aura of might, charged forward and unleashed a furious assault.
"Another one? Are you also a Deity from the Restorer Faction?
I never imagined you Restorers would send two Deities. You really think highly of me."
The Tianyue Sect Leader's expression darkened. He hadn't expected the Restorer Faction to send two Deities.
"Who cares what faction I'm from? Just accept your death!
If you kneel now, stretch out your neck, and wait for me to kill you, you'll suffer less pain. Otherwise, I'll dismember you, carve up your Soul Body piece by piece, and make you wish you were dead. Then you'll know the skills of your grandpa, Xiaoyao Shen."
Xiaoyao Shen spoke with absolute domineering authority.
In his heyday within this Void, he had already been a top-tier figure. Now that he had broken through to become a Deity, his self-regard was even greater.
"Just a Primary Void God. Even if the two of you join forces to kill me, it won't be easy."
The Tianyue Sect Leader's expression was extremely ugly as he said coldly.
As for the Restorer Faction Deity, although he didn't recognize Xiaoyao Shen, he didn't bother to ask either. Recently, the Restorer Faction was continuously producing new Deities; it was normal for him not to recognize some who had just broken through. Therefore, he assumed Xiaoyao Shen was a new Deity within the Restorer Faction; otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly appeared to help him fight.
With Xiaoyao Shen and the Restorer Deity joining forces, they soon gained the upper hand, forcing the Tianyue Sect Leader to retreat repeatedly.
"This fellow's reliance is that Intermediate Void God level treasure. If I break his treasure now, his defeat is certain."
Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh.
Then, with a thought, Ye Yunfei unleashed his Soul Sword, instantly attacking the interior of the Intermediate Void God level treasure. The Remnant Soul hidden inside was shattered on the spot.
Although this Remnant Soul was left by an Intermediate Void God, after an extremely long span of time, its energy had severely dissipated, becoming extremely weak long ago. How could it possibly withstand Ye Yunfei's attack?
The moment the Remnant Soul was shattered, the Tianyue Sect Leader's expression drastically changed, because he realized he could no longer control the treasure.
With a bang, the next moment, the Tianyue Sect Leader was sent flying by Xiaoyao Shen and the Restorer Deity's combined attack.
"I thought you were something special! Now go and die!"
Upon receiving Ye Yunfei's sound transmission informing him the treasure was disabled, Xiaoyao Shen immediately became even more divinely brave. He roared and charged forward, launching a frenzied assault on the Tianyue Sect Leader.
Xiaoyao Shen had broken through some time ago and had also refined some divine pills Ye Yunfei gave him. Those pills were extremely effective, greatly boosting Xiaoyao Shen's strength. Now, against a Primary Void God who had just broken through, he quickly overwhelmed his opponent, leaving him unable to fight back.
"Not good! The Sect Leader can't hold on much longer. We need to help him fight the enemy immediately!"
At this point, the surrounding Tianyue Sect forces, seeing the situation turn sour, began shouting.
Many Tianyue Sect members wanted to charge forward to attack. With a thought, Ye Yunfei unleashed his Soul Sword, continuously attacking the Soul Seas of those Tianyue Sect members.
Ahhhhhh…
Cries of agony sounded one after another, unending. Any Tianyue Sect member whose Soul Sea was invaded by the Soul Sword let out a scream and died on the spot.
The Tianyue Sect had already defected to the Guardian Faction, so of course, Ye Yunfei showed no mercy.
In moments, over half the Tianyue Sect members were dead or injured. Those remaining were all Demigods.
"Very well, then I will consume all their Soul Bodies."
With a thought, Ye Yunfei executed the Soul Power Star Method.
Immediately, one Soul Power star after another shot out from Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, then invaded the Soul Seas of the Tianyue Sect members, consuming their Soul Bodies.
After consuming the Soul Bodies of these Tianyue Sect members, Ye Yunfei acquired their memories and confirmed that the Tianyue Sect had indeed pledged allegiance to the Guardian Faction.
Before the Tianyue Sect Leader underwent his tribulation, the Guardian Faction had already sent someone to the Tianyue Sect headquarters to discuss with the Sect Leader how to jointly deal with the Restorer Faction. The members whose Soul Bodies were consumed by Ye Yunfei were all high-ranking Tianyue Sect Demigods, so they knew the full story.
Shortly after, all the Tianyue Sect's Demigods had their Soul Bodies consumed by Ye Yunfei. Although these were merely Demigod Soul Bodies, their sheer numbers could significantly increase Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy.
"What is happening?!
Our Tianyue Sect disciples are almost all slaughtered! Who is it? What master is attacking from the shadows?!"
At this moment, the Tianyue Sect Leader, jointly attacked by Xiaoyao Shen and the Restorer Deity, was in a sorry state and already injured. Seeing his subordinates suddenly getting their Soul Bodies shattered one by one and falling dead, he was overcome with shock and fury.
The Tianyue Sect was his foundation. Over the years, he had painstakingly built it into one of the most powerful forces in this world cluster.
Now that he had become a Deity, he planned to lead the Tianyue Sect beyond this world cluster to expand across the entire Void. But within moments, the Tianyue Sect members were almost all killed. He simply could not accept this result.
"Stop wailing! It's your turn now."
Xiaoyao Shen charged forward and, with one punch, split the Tianyue Sect Leader's body in two.
The Tianyue Sect Leader already had little ability to fight back. Distracted by his agitation, he gave Xiaoyao Shen an opening to explode his physical form.
"Alright, hand him over to me. I need his Soul Body."
Seeing that the Tianyue Sect Leader was defenseless, Ye Yunfei flashed and appeared beside him, speaking calmly.
"Young Master Ye! So it is you who have arrived."
The Restorer Deity immediately recognized Ye Yunfei.
"You'll regret this! I already sent a message to the masters of the Guardian Faction just now. They are on their way. If you know what's good for you, stop now. Otherwise, when the Guardian Faction masters arrive, you will die without a proper burial.
Don't think being Deities means you can contend with the Guardian Faction. The two of you are mere Primary Void Gods, while the Guardian Faction possesses many Intermediate Void Gods, even Senior Void Gods! You are no match for the Guardian Faction!"
The Tianyue Sect Leader shouted at Xiaoyao Shen and the Restorer Deity.
As for Ye Yunfei, he paid him no mind.
"The one who will die without a proper burial should be you."
Ye Yunfei replied with a cold laugh, then threw a punch.
With a loud bang, Ye Yunfei completely obliterated the Tianyue Sect Leader's fleshly body, reducing it to a cloud of blood mist. Then, with a grasping motion, he seized the man's Soul Body and shoved it into his own Soul Sea. More than twenty Soul Bodies swarmed it, instantly consuming the Tianyue Sect Leader's Soul Body.
"Young Master Ye's power is truly terrifying!
This Tianyue Sect Leader was a Primary Void God. Though heavily injured, completely exterminating him would not be easy. Yet, Young Master Ye accomplished it in an instant, destroying him both physically and spiritually."
The Restorer Faction Deity, witnessing Ye Yunfei's methods, inwardly marveled.
While consuming the Tianyue Sect Leader's Soul Body, Ye Yunfei released his Blood Clone to consume the remaining bloodline essence.
"So the Tianyue Sect possesses a treasure left over from ancient times.
Good, I'll go take a look now."
After consuming the Tianyue Sect Leader's Soul Body and acquiring his memories, Ye Yunfei learned that within the Tianyue Sect's headquarters there was a treasure left over from ancient times.
However, the treasure was wrapped in layer upon layer of seals. Successive generations of Tianyue Sect leaders spent vast amounts of time and energy attacking the sealing layers on the treasure's surface.
The current Sect Leader was no different. When free, he would lead the sect's elders in attacking and trying to break the treasure's seals.
Moreover, after many generations, the seal's strength had become extremely weak, likely soon to be completely broken. But now, the Tianyue Sect had essentially been annihilated.
