"Alright, you can return now."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Subsequently, the Old Wizard and the Great Elder departed from the Alliance Army headquarters and returned to the Reincarnation Realm.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei returned to his previous secluded cultivation spot and once again entered the Phantom Tower.
"Good, now I'll see exactly what grade this magical treasure belongs to."
Ye Yunfei looked at the white short sword suspended before him and spoke.
Then, with a flick of his finger, he sent the yellow talisman pasted on the short sword flying away. With a *boom*, a terrifying aura of energy instantly erupted from the white short sword, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently.
"This is actually a True God-Level Dao Weapon!"
Even before Ye Yunfei could speak, Hun Lao cried out in astonishment.
"The Reincarnation Palace actually had a True God-Level Dao Weapon in its collection."
Ye Yunfei was also somewhat surprised.
"Master, this is equivalent to our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds gaining another True God-Level Dao Weapon. We'll be even more confident in dealing with the Guardian Faction," Hu Miao said excitedly.
"Try it immediately. See if you can refine and control this Dao Soldier. If you can wield a True God-Level Dao Weapon, your combat power will skyrocket. Even if you encounter an Advanced Void God, you'll be able to fight them head-on without worry," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Given my current strength, it might be somewhat difficult to refine a True God-Level Dao Weapon. But according to Qing Luo's message, possessing that wisp of her Soul Power aura should allow me to refine this treasure. I wonder if that's truly the case? I'll give it a try now!"
Ye Yunfei looked at the white short sword, a glimmer of anticipation in his heart.
Then, Ye Yunfei began to release his Soul Power energy, gradually extending it towards the white short sword.
*Boom!* As Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy approached the white short sword, a terrifying pressure of energy directly erupted, seeking to suppress Ye Yunfei.
However, in the next moment, the wisp of Qing Luo's Soul Power aura within Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy manifested and released a dense aura of reincarnation energy.
Immediately, the white short sword became calm, seemingly no longer rejecting Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy.
"Qing Luo's Soul Power aura is indeed effective!"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Soon, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy entered the white short sword.
"Excellent! It seems I really can refine this treasure. This means I can wield a True God-Level Dao Weapon!"
Ye Yunfei was thrilled.
He had already witnessed the power of a True God-Level Dao Soldier and knew that once he could control this white short sword, he would have no fear of Advanced Void Gods.
For the following period, Ye Yunfei continued refining the white short sword.
After all, this was a True God-Level Dao Weapon; truly refining it required patience and time.
Ye Yunfei temporarily halted his cultivation of other martial techniques, focusing all his attention on refining the white short sword.
An unknown amount of time passed.
"I've finally succeeded in refining this treasure!"
A sudden look of excitement appeared on Ye Yunfei's face. With a beckoning gesture, the white short sword fell into his palm.
"Qing Luo's wisp of Soul Power aura is indeed incredibly useful. The only reason I could refine this white short sword is entirely due to Qing Luo's assistance," Ye Yunfei said excitedly.
"If a mere wisp of Qing Luo's Soul Power aura can help you refine a True God-Level Dao Weapon, what is her current strength actually like? She must be much stronger than you now, right?" Hun Lao suddenly spoke.
"Indeed! How did I not think of that? If a wisp of her Soul Power aura can help me refine a True God-Level Dao Weapon, is her current strength far beyond mine now?"
Hearing Hun Lao's words, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be stirred in his heart.
"It's not strange. This void region was originally a backward one in terms of overall strength. Qing Luo went to other, more advanced voids outside, with more opportunities and greater development potential, so it's perfectly normal for her to have grown much stronger. Qing Luo's own innate talent was never lacking," Hun Lao explained.
"That's true," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"I wonder exactly which void outside Qing Luo is in now? Sooner or later, I will find her whereabouts. Then, I'll personally go to the void where she resides and find her," Ye Yunfei murmured softly.
"Alright. Next, it's time to properly settle accounts with the Guardian Faction," Ye Yunfei stood up and said coldly, killing intent surging out like a tidal wave.
"Master, you still have two other True God-Level Dao Weapons. Aren't you going to refine them too?" Hu Miao asked.
"Those two Dao Weapons have been damaged, and given my current strength, it would be somewhat difficult to refine them. I'll keep them for now; they'll surely be useful later. Having one True God-Level Dao Weapon is enough for me at the moment," Ye Yunfei replied.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei exited the Phantom Tower and arrived at the Alliance Army's meeting hall.
Soon, all the high-level figures of the Alliance Army gathered in the meeting hall upon hearing the news.
"Is everyone prepared for the expedition?"
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze over the crowd and asked.
"Reporting to Young Master Ye, we are fully prepared and can depart at any time!" Kong Lao stepped forward and declared in a clear voice.
Kong Lao was now a Primary Void God. Moreover, during this period, he had received various cultivation resources and elixirs from Ye Yunfei, thoroughly consolidating his realm and further increasing his strength.
"Young Master Ye, during this time, several more Deities have joined our Alliance Army. In total, we now possess over twenty Deities. Our Alliance Army has become one of the most powerful factions in this void region. However, all the Deities within our Alliance Army are currently Primary Void Gods; we don't have any Intermediate Void Gods yet," Xiao Ziming stepped forward and reported to Ye Yunfei.
"This is already excellent. Our Alliance Army will grow even stronger in the future," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Issue the order now: prepare to set off at any moment. We are heading to the Guardian Faction's headquarters to eradicate them!"
Ye Yunfei declared loudly.
Inside the great hall, all the Alliance Army's high-level figures perked up at Ye Yunfei's words and answered in unison.
"Young Master Ye, our Alliance Army is finally stepping out of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and marching into the wider void!"
Kong Lao said excitedly.
"Yes, this day has finally arrived!"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
In the past, the Alliance Army could only hide within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. The moment they ventured out, they would face relentless pursuit, so they had never been able to move freely in the void outside.
"Young Master Ye, the Restorationist Faction is prepared," the Great Leader entered from outside.
"The time has finally come to settle our score with the Guardian Faction!"
The Great Leader spoke through gritted teeth.
"We are also ready," Cui Hong and the Flower Goddess Palace Master entered as well.
"Good. Since everyone is prepared, gather the army now. We depart shortly," Ye Yunfei commanded loudly.
Following Ye Yunfei's order, soon after, the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds was filled with a dense, massive army.
The Alliance Army, the Restorationist Faction, the Fire Clan, the Flower Goddess Palace, and other various forces that had pledged allegiance to Ye Yunfei in recent times—all their troops gathered together, looking boundless at a glance, like a vast ocean.
Everyone knew they were going to march against the Guardian Faction. They were all eager and ready, brimming with killing intent.
Dense arrays of weapons and magical treasures were brandished, unleashing a torrential aura of killing intent that swept through the entire world group, even causing the void surrounding the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to tremble.
"Everyone, this time, we will invade the Guardian Faction's headquarters, eradicate the Guardian Faction, and restore peace to our region of the void!"
Ye Yunfei stood at the forefront of the great army, his gaze slowly sweeping over the densely packed ranks as he proclaimed loudly.
Ye Yunfei's voice was like rolling thunder, clear in everyone's ears.
"Eradicate the Guardian Faction, restore peace to our void!"
"Eradicate the Guardian Faction, restore peace to our void!"
...
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, all the troops roared back in unison, their massive shouts propagating like a tidal wave, even producing one earthshaking echo after another that reverberated throughout the endless void.
"Advance!"
Without further ado, Ye Yunfei waved his hand and strode out ahead, leading the way from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
The Great Leader, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master each stood before their respective forces, following behind Ye Yunfei.
A vast river of humanity flowed out from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds like a vast ocean, then moved in the direction of the Guardian Faction's headquarters.
Ye Yunfei, having devoured the Soul Bodies of so many Guardian Faction Deities, already had an intimate understanding of their headquarters.
Under Ye Yunfei's lead, the great army from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds marched through the void with overwhelming momentum. Their released energy auras radiated far into the distance, shaking the surrounding void violently, as if sifting flour.
Soon, the movements of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds army attracted attention and drew spectators.
During the previous period, the Guardian Faction's army had attacked the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. That battle had shaken the entire void, and the power displayed by the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had left everyone astounded.
Everyone realized that the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds of today were vastly different from the past, now possessing terrifying overall strength, capable of holding their own even against the Guardian Faction. Therefore, the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had become the focal point of attention across this void region.
Now that the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had made such a significant move, it naturally caused a sensation.
After the news spread, countless beings rushed from all directions to witness the spectacle.
"Look! The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds now possesses several dozen Deities! In our void region, aside from the Guardian Faction itself, no other force can compare to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!"
Seeing one Deity after another marching forth within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds army, unleashing powerful Deity-level energy, countless spectators gasped in low exclamations.
"What's going on? Who is the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds army planning to confront?"
Everyone speculated wildly about why the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds would suddenly mobilize such a massive force.
"Look, the direction the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds army is heading seems to be the Guardian Faction's headquarters."
Suddenly, someone ventured a guess.
"Indeed! This direction does lead to the Guardian Faction's headquarters! I see now! The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are going to attack the Guardian Faction's headquarters! A major event is about to unfold! Previously, the Guardian Faction attacked the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Now the tables have turned; it's the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds' turn to attack the Guardian Faction's headquarters!"
Someone cried out in astonishment.
