"My Soul Power alone should now allow me to effortlessly slay a Primary Void God, shouldn't it?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze fixed on a distant Primary Void God. With a mere thought, he unleashed Moon Soul Slash. A cold, pale moonlight directly manifested within that Primary Void God's Soul Sea.
The Primary Void God let out a miserable shriek as if struck by lightning, his body sent flying backward before his life force ceased breathing.
"Being able to kill a Primary Void God with Soul Force Energy from such a distance shows your Soul Power has improved by leaps and bounds," Hun Lao remarked with pleasant surprise.
The distance between Ye Yunfei and the Primary Void God he had just killed was considerable.
"Effortlessly killing a Primary Void God at this range is good. My Soul Power has indeed increased significantly," Ye Yunfei revealed a smile.
"Being able to kill with Soul Power from such a distance now makes things much easier."
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to another Primary Void God in the distance. With another thought, Moon Soul Slash was executed. A sharp cry rang out, and that Primary Void God also died on the spot.
From then on, every Primary Void God of the Watchers who caught Ye Yunfei's eye met with a similar fate — emitting screams of agony as a cold, full moon appeared within their Soul Seas, their Soul Bodies slashed into fragments. Subsequently, numerous massive Soul Force planets would invade their Soul Seas, devouring their Soul Bodies.
"This Moon Soul Slash soul force martial art is truly overbearing! Now that your Soul Power has increased, you're able to bring out more and more of this technique's true might. The soul force martial art that ancient Sky Moon Patriarch imparted to you is truly extraordinary," Hun Lao couldn't help but marvel once more.
"Indeed. The Sky Moon Religion must have been an incredibly powerful sect in ancient times. It's a shame they were betrayed from within, forcing their Patriarch to hide within that precious bead. As a result, these formidable legacies were lost. Otherwise, that Sky Moon Religion might still be a tremendously powerful sect today," Ye Yunfei nodded in reply.
While speaking, Ye Yunfei continued to deploy Moon Soul Slash, consecutively cutting down several more Primary Void God Watchers.
By this time, the number of Deities Ye Yunfei had slain was approaching thirty. Nearly two-thirds of the Deities dispatched here by the Guardian Faction had been killed by him, the casualties alarmingly heavy.
"Ye Yunfei, I never imagined you'd cultivated such an advanced soul force martial art," the Second Chief, locked in fierce combat with the Great Leader in the distance, suddenly whirled around, his gaze locking onto Ye Yunfei as he gritted his teeth and spat out the words.
Though Ye Yunfei had just used Moon Soul Slash to kill those Primary Void Gods from a considerable distance, the Second Chief perceived it all clearly, knowing with certainty it was Ye Yunfei's doing.
This was the first major battle he presided over after revealing his true identity. The Watcher Deities had stormed this base under his orchestration.
He had thought that with so many Watcher Deities, eliminating this base would be effortless. Yet, not only had this base of the Restorers not been completely wiped out, the Watcher Deities had instead lost more than half their numbers. This result was somewhat difficult for him to accept.
Liu Feng and the other four Deities, controlling the high-level Void God artifact, had been relentlessly pursuing Ye Yunfei. Seeing Ye Yunfei continuously slaughtering members of their side, Liu Feng was furious to the extreme, roaring maniacally. Yet, whenever he tried to close in on Ye Yunfei, a cold, desolate full moon would instantly appear in his Soul Sea, cleaving towards his Soul Body, forcing him to slow down and defend against that lunar assault. That full moon made him feel extreme peril; he simply couldn't afford to be negligent.
"Now, let's see if I can slay an Intermediate Void God from across this distance using Moon Soul Slash," Ye Yunfei thought inwardly, his gaze abruptly shifting to an Intermediate Void God of the Guardian Faction.
"Ye Yunfei, what do you think you're doing?!"
That Intermediate Void God, seeing Ye Yunfei's gaze land on him, jumped in fright and immediately retreated.
The next instant, a cold, desolate full moon appeared in his Soul Sea, showering waves of hazy moonlight that illuminated his entire Soul Sea, plunging his Soul Body into a state of bewildered confusion in an instant.
"Not good!"
A bad premonition flashed in the Intermediate Void God's heart. The very next moment, his Soul Body was struck by that full moon.
With a cry, the Intermediate Void God's body was sent flying backward, blood spurting from his mouth and nose. His Soul Body had suffered a severe injury.
"While it didn't kill him outright, grievously wounding him is still pretty good. From now on, when you encounter Primary or Intermediate Void Gods, you can simply crush them effortlessly with Moon Soul Slash," Hun Lao said with a chuckle.
"Master! Ye Yunfei's soul force martial art is too terrifying! We can't let him keep killing like this, or all our Deities will be slaughtered by him!" Liu Feng, who was trailing Ye Yunfei, saw yet another Intermediate Void God grievously injured and panicked completely, immediately shouting to the Second Chief.
"Hahaha… How unexpected, Shangguan Yuan. This meticulously planned operation of yours might have its outcome overturned because of Young Master Ye. If this continues, not only will you fail to annihilate our Restorer Faction, but these Guardian Faction members might all be slaughtered by Young Master Ye instead!"
The Great Leader, witnessing this scene, felt immensely gratified and couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
At this moment, the Restorer side, seeing the opposing Deities being killed one after another, were also highly exhilarated.
"Young Master Ye is truly formidable! With him here, there's no need for us to fear these Guardian Faction fellows! Everyone, we can't just wait for Young Master Ye to kill all the enemies by himself! Charge together, give it everything we have!"
The morale of the Restorers was greatly bolstered. Every single one of them desperately charged at the Guardian Faction members. Underpinned by their surging fighting spirit, they practically performed above their usual level, pushing the Guardian Faction forces into constant retreat within a short time. The Restorers began to gain the upper hand.
Before Ye Yunfei's return to the base, the Guardian Faction had held the advantage. Now, the tide had turned because of a single individual — Ye Yunfei!
"Ye Yunfei, it seems you've cultivated a certain advanced soul force martial art handed down from ancient times. Only those legendary, high-level soul force martial arts from ancient tales could achieve such an effect," the Second Chief's gaze fixed intently on Ye Yunfei as he spoke.
"What soul force martial art I cultivate is none of your concern," Ye Yunfei gave a cold smirk. He once again executed Moon Soul Slash. In the distance, another Intermediate Void God screamed, blood flowing from his mouth and nose, his face pale as he retreated repeatedly, an expression of pure terror plastered on his face.
"Everyone, stay away from Ye Yunfei! The farther the better!" Liu Feng bellowed.
All the Primary and Intermediate Void Gods of the Guardian Faction immediately scattered away from Ye Yunfei, giving him a wide berth.
"Then, I'll start by clearing out some Demigods now," Ye Yunfei glanced at the Guardian Faction's Demigods, a cold sneer playing on his lips.
Ye Yunfei believed that with his current Soul Power, he could slay Demigods from an even greater distance.
In the next instant, Ye Yunfei simultaneously unleashed Moon Soul Slash and Soul Sword. A succession of cries followed.
Those Guardian Faction Demigods in the distance who caught Ye Yunfei's attention immediately let out shrieks and died on the spot.
In barely the space of a single breath, Ye Yunfei slew dozens of Guardian Faction Demigods.
Having just devoured the Soul Bodies of nearly thirty Deities, the concentration of Soul Force Energy within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea was astounding. It had already transformed into a liquid Soul Sea, roaring and churning violently. No matter how much he expended in a short period, it seemed inexhaustible.
Within two or three brief breaths, Ye Yunfei slaughtered almost over two hundred Guardian Faction Demigods, his fearsome might truly inspiring terror.
"This is bad! Master! If this goes on, our people really might be slaughtered clean by Ye Yunfei!" Watching this scene, Liu Feng felt both deep resentment and profound helplessness.
He was utterly powerless to prevent it. Whenever he almost caught up to Ye Yunfei, Ye Yunfei would immediately use Moon Soul Slash against him. Fortunately, he controlled a high-level Void God artifact, which mitigated Ye Yunfei's soul force attacks to a degree. Otherwise, being only an Intermediate Void God, he would have long since suffered soul injuries.
The situation was similar for the other Deities controlling the high-level Void God artifacts. As Ye Yunfei's Soul Power continuously rose, they simply could not approach him now.
At this time, the Great Leader and Second Chief were locked in intense combat. The Great Leader's realm was also that of an Advanced Void God.
His injuries weren't fully healed, but thankfully Ye Yunfei had refined numerous specialized healing divine pills for him recently. Moreover, Ye Yunfei had given him a large batch of Soul Force Energy type heavenly treasures brought from the True Phoenix Divine Clan's tomb, which he refined and absorbed, enhancing the quality of his Soul Body. Consequently, his combat power had recovered considerably.
The Second Chief, on the other hand, had only recently broken through to that realm and hadn't fully stabilized his foundation within it yet. Hence, he and the Great Leader were currently fighting on equal footing.
"It seems the healing divine pills Ye Yunfei refined for you recently were quite effective, actually allowing you to recover from some of your injuries," after a fierce exchange, the Second Chief said grudgingly.
"Indeed. The divine pills Young Master Ye refined for me were extremely useful. Isn't that precisely why you grew concerned about my recovery and wanted to make the first move?" the Great Leader retorted with a cold smile.
"Yes. Everything is because of Ye Yunfei. Originally, I planned to wait until my realm fully stabilized and my strength increased further before acting. But Ye Yunfei suddenly becoming a Divine Pill Master caught me somewhat off guard, forcing me to move ahead of schedule.
But now I realize I still acted too late. Ye Yunfei has already grown to such heights.
Regardless of whether this operation succeeds, I've already lost nearly thirty Deities. I should have killed him long ago, not giving him any chance to grow.
What a pity. Regret is useless now."
At this point, the Second Chief glanced back at Ye Yunfei, deep hatred evident in his gaze.
"However, fortunately, there's still time," the Second Chief suddenly smiled coldly once more.
Right at that moment.
"So you are Ye Yunfei?
Indeed, your reputation precedes you. You've actually slain so many of our Guardian Faction's Deities. I'll settle this debt with you thoroughly."
A white-haired elder suddenly appeared, standing not far away. His cold gaze fell upon Ye Yunfei as he slowly uttered those words.
"Not good! This is an Advanced Void God, and his strength must be far above that Second Chief's! Run now! You are likely no match for him," Hun Lao immediately warned Ye Yunfei.
