"They've arrived this quickly?
I never thought the day would come when our Guardian Faction would have our headquarters besieged."
The white-haired elder's expression darkened as he spoke gravely.
"Everyone, rest assured. With this ancient formation protecting us, the army of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds cannot possibly break in."
The white-haired elder turned to sweep his gaze over the other high-level members, whose faces were all extremely grim, and spoke.
"Let's go out and take a look now."
The white-haired elder added.
He then took a single step and exited the headquarters, arriving in the void outside.
The other three Advanced Void Gods and a large number of high-ranking members followed behind the white-haired elder, emerging one after another through the spacetime gate.
*Rumble...*
In the distant void, a massive army surged forth like a tide.
Row upon row of armored troops wielding sharp weapons marched through the void.
Despite having traversed vast stretches of space across countless realms from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, the army's fighting spirit remained high. Every soldier gripped their weapon, their gazes fixed on the Guardian Faction headquarters ahead, revealing a towering combat will. The entire force exuded a stern aura of slaughter, so dense it nearly materialized into a column of palpable killing intent that soared into the heavens, pervading this stretch of the starry sky.
Under this terrifying aura, all things trembled, the very void seemed to dim, and everything appeared suppressed.
"The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds truly are formidable. Their sheer aura alone is suffocating and makes one dare not resist."
"Which one is Ye Yunfei?
He is without a doubt the most monstrous young genius in our region of the void.
I'd only heard about his exploits before, never seen him in person. Today, I should finally have the chance to lay eyes on him myself. This journey won't be in vain!"
...
In the void near the Guardian Faction headquarters, many people had already arrived early, lurking there to witness the spectacle. Seeing the mighty army of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds approach in full force, everyone peered into the distance, searching for Ye Yunfei's figure.
"Young Master Ye, ahead lies the headquarters of the Guardian Faction."
Old Kong, walking beside Ye Yunfei, spoke to him.
"I know."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
He had devoured the Soul Bodies of quite a few Guardian Faction Deities and was long familiar with their headquarters.
"Ye Yunfei, you have the audacity! How dare you bring your forces to challenge the headquarters of our Guardian Faction!"
The white-haired elder, leading a large contingent of Guardian Faction troops, stood before the spacetime gate, watching the tide of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds army roll toward them. He couldn't help but show an expression of rage and shouted in reprimand.
"Your Guardian Faction's crimes are as high as the mountains. Today is the day we settle the full account."
Ye Yunfei swept a cold glance over the Guardian Faction's high-level members, then raised his hand. The army following behind him immediately halted.
"Traitorous disciple! Hurry over and receive your death!"
The Great Leader, spotting a middle-aged man standing beside the white-haired elder, instantly erupted with fury. Pointing at the middle-aged man, he roared.
That middle-aged man was none other than the former Second Chief of the Restorer Faction.
"Old relic! Do you even have the capability to kill me?"
The Second Chief answered with an indifferent expression.
"Traitor! Your skills were learned from me. Everything you have, I gave you. Back then, if I hadn't brought you out, you'd probably still be stuck in that remote Small World, perhaps never seeing the vast world beyond.
I never expected you would repay kindness with enmity, betraying me and causing the death of so many members of the Restorer Faction. Your crimes are monumental, and today you must submit to punishment."
Hearing the Second Chief's words, the Great Leader grew even angrier, trembling all over with rage.
"Old relic, stop talking all day about your 'kindness' to me—it makes me want to retch.
Over these years, you gave me many things, true. But I stayed by your side, was effectively your beast of burden, heeded your every call. I've long repaid any debt of gratitude I owed you.
Old relic, if you dare try to pull seniority on me again, I'll personally take your head."
The Second Chief replied coldly.
"You...!"
At these words, the Great Leader pointed a trembling finger at the Second Chief, shaking all over, unable to speak.
"Senior, there's no point talking to an ungrateful wolf. We'll just kill him later."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Ye Yunfei, I was the one who personally brought you to the Restorer headquarters back then. If I hadn't valued you, you might not have achieved what you have today."
The Second Chief's sharp gaze fell upon Ye Yunfei as he spoke.
"Bringing me to the Restorer Faction headquarters back then wasn't your own idea; you were just following orders.
As a high-level member of the Restorer Faction, you actually betrayed them—that's treacherous! No matter how you try to justify it, it doesn't change the fact that you are an ungrateful wolf.
Just wait. You won't come to a good end."
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"Enough talk. Let's attack."
At that moment, six figures appeared beside Ye Yunfei. They were precisely Kang Wan and the five other elders.
They had been inside the Phantom Glittering Tower until now.
"Those six old fellows have indeed come."
Seeing Kang Wan and the others, the expressions of the four Guardian Faction Advanced Void Gods became somewhat unsightly. They knew these six elders jointly controlled a True God-level Dao Soldier, likely the most elite combat power within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds' army.
"Good! Enough talk. Let's attack directly and wipe out the Guardian Faction headquarters."
Ye Yunfei nodded, then declared in a clear, loud voice that rose to the heavens, reaching every listener's ears.
"Look!
That's Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds."
"The rumors are correct; his cultivation really is only at the perfected Demigod level, yet they say he has killed many Guardian Faction Deities."
"A perfected Demigod being able to slay Deities... that's simply too heaven-defying!"
...
The moment Ye Yunfei spoke, countless gazes converged upon him, sizing him up from head to toe while whispering discussions erupted.
"Everyone says he's the most monstrous young genius in our region of the void. Seeing him today proves it's true.
Look, so many Deities are clustered behind him, making him the center.
What other youth in our void could compare, leading so many Deities at such a young age?"
In the nearby void, countless people observed Ye Yunfei, secretly praising him.
"The Guardian Faction has always ruthlessly suppressed the lives in our void, ruling over us with cruel means. Fortunately, a young genius like Ye Yunfei has stepped forward to resist, giving us hope."
"Exactly. In our void, anyone wishing to undergo tribulation and become a Deity must obtain the Guardian Faction's approval. It's absolutely outrageous.
I hope Ye Yunfei, leading the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, can defeat the Guardian Faction and return peace to our void."
"You're really bold, daring to say such things. If they reach the ears of the Guardian Faction, you're finished."
Watching Ye Yunfei stand imposingly before the army, countless people secretly discussed and evaluated him.
"Destroy the headquarters of the Guardian Faction!"
"Destroy the headquarters of the Guardian Faction!"
...
At this moment, everyone from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds began shouting along with Ye Yunfei, creating a reverberating chorus. Every person raised their magic treasure, activating it directly, unleashing a mighty torrent of energy like towering waves that swept across the sky.
"Attack!"
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei took the lead, striding forward toward the Guardian Faction troops.
Though four Advanced Void Gods stood opposite him, Ye Yunfei showed not a trace of fear.
His movement speed was extraordinarily fast. In a state of full sprint, he instantly closed in on the Guardian Faction forces.
From behind, the Great Leader, Cui Hong, the Flower God Palace Master, and a host of Deities led the army of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Like a surging tide, they advanced menacingly toward the Guardian Faction troops.
"The battle is finally starting!
The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and the Guardian Faction are both top-tier forces in our void. I wonder who will be the ultimate victor in this fight?"
Seeing the two factions' forces about to engage, the onlookers around them instantly grew excited as well.
"Before, I would have said the Guardian Faction had the upper hand. But now, it's hard to say.
Last time, seven Advanced Void Gods from the Guardian Faction led an army to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, yet didn't win. Now that the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds army has come to the Guardian Faction headquarters, guessing the outcome isn't easy.
Two tigers fight—we'll wait and see who triumphs!"
Countless people voiced their opinions, all eagerly awaiting the result of this battle.
At that moment, the white-haired elder and the other three Advanced Void Gods watched as Ye Yunfei led the army of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds in a surging assault. Their expressions sank to the extreme.
They very much wanted to charge forward and engage in battle, but reason told them that if a real fight broke out, their chances of victory were slim.
Particularly some Initial Void Gods and Intermediate Void Gods, seeing the killing intent radiating from Ye Yunfei and recalling the scenes where Ye Yunfei had slain Deity after Deity as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, couldn't help but turn pale, their legs trembling.
"Forget it. We retreat immediately and close the gate."
Gritting his teeth, the white-haired elder sent a voice transmission to all Deities of the Guardian Faction.
At his command, the Guardian Faction members rapidly retreated, scurrying back in disarray through the spacetime gate behind them.
"Ye Yunfei, you just wait. There will be a price to pay for provoking our Guardian Faction."
The white-haired elder's gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as he spoke.
"There is also a price for provoking our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, and that price has now arrived at your doorstep."
Ye Yunfei sneered, suddenly accelerating, charging toward the white-haired elder.
"This kid is too arrogant! Does he really think he can defeat me?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei charge toward him, the white-haired elder felt a surge of anger.
During the previous battle in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, Ye Yunfei had always avoided them, the Advanced Void Gods. But now he dared to provoke so openly.
