‘You don’t need to worry about the future, because you don’t have one,’ Ye Yunfei said coldly, a frosty smile on his face.
Then, with a boom, the white short sword hovering above his head shot forward, trailing multiple waves of sword energy that swept across the sky.
As Ye Yunfei attacked, the Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master also unleashed their full strength.
Ye Yunfei threw a punch towards the middle-aged man. A ghostly dragon soared up from his fist, roamed the heavens, and lunged forward to attack.
‘That’s the Heaven’s Way Divine Dragon Fist of the Great Strength Demon God!’
Seeing the fist technique Ye Yunfei executed, the middle-aged man immediately showed an expression of shock.
‘So you inherited the legacy of the Great Strength Demon God. No wonder you managed to temper your physique to this degree.’
The middle-aged man rapidly retreated.
Under the combined assault of Ye Yunfei, the Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master, he was simply no match.
Especially that white short sword—every single attack placed tremendous pressure on him. He didn’t dare to confront it head-on at all. After just a few moves, the man was forced into repeated retreats, looking extremely disheveled.
‘Prepare to die,’ Ye Yunfei declared in a heavy voice. He pointed, and the white short sword whistled through the air, cutting through the space ahead as easily as a knife slicing tofu, instantly slashing towards the middle-aged man’s chest.
‘Even if you have a True God-level Dao Weapon, I’m not afraid of you!’ the middle-aged man roared fiercely.
Boom!
The man’s body suddenly transformed, his size expanding continuously. In an instant, he transformed into a towering Giant Spirit Deity that stood erect in the void.
He threw a punch. That terrifyingly huge fist carried energy capable of crushing everything as it moved to block the white short sword. Lines of law continuously manifested, wrapping around the colossal fist.
‘He’s going to use the Laws he’s cultivated. However, against a Dao Weapon, the Laws cultivated by an Advanced Void God shouldn’t be much use,’ Hun Lao scoffed.
With another boom, the white short sword collided violently with that enormous fist. A force like ten thousand volcanoes erupting simultaneously exploded and swept out in all directions, instantly shredding the surrounding space into pieces.
The man’s body was sent flying backward on the spot.
The Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master were also forced to retreat a great distance by the terrifying collision energy.
‘Something’s off… this fellow doesn’t seem to have a real physical body,’ Hun Lao suddenly cried out in surprise.
‘That’s right. I also sense something strange,’ Ye Yunfei nodded.
Only now did Ye Yunfei realize the man’s body was peculiar. It actually seemed not to be flesh and blood.
‘You dare destroy my body? You deserve to die!’
The man’s fist had already been blown to pieces by the white short sword. Enraged, he let out a furious roar and raised a massive hundred-zhang foot, stomping fiercely towards Ye Yunfei.
The man’s body was horrifyingly huge at this moment. The foot he stomped came rolling forward, shaking open black spatial cracks in the surrounding space that spread out in all directions like a spider’s web.
Infinite power exploded continuously beneath his enormous sole—so vast, so surging.
‘I feel like this guy is burning his energy, surpassing his normal level. To deal with you, he’s utterly desperate,’ Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei again.
‘No need to fear. This True God-level Dao Weapon from the Samsara Palace is plenty strong enough to handle him,’ Ye Yunfei sneered.
He directly activated the white short sword. It vibrated intensely with a *whirr*, then began to grow larger, instantly transforming into a massive white longsword that swept across the sky towards the man’s giant foot.
*Bang!*
The massive foot was cleaved cleanly in half by the white giant sword, then exploded and vanished without a trace.
‘Indeed, his body is not flesh and blood,’ Ye Yunfei felt a trace of shock in his heart.
‘No way? After fighting for so long, is it possible this guy is just a clone?’ Hun Lao couldn’t help but exclaim.
‘Whether he’s a clone or not, we kill him first,’ Ye Yunfei roared and commanded the white short sword to slash out once more.
The white short sword radiated thousands of sharp sword glows, converging into an ocean of sword energy. Its terrifying might shook the vast swathe of void ahead.
‘Ah!’ A miserable shriek echoed.
The man’s body was cleaved in half by the white giant sword.
While Ye Yunfei acted, the Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master also attacked with all their might.
After a few more moves, under the combined assault of Ye Yunfei, the Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master, the man’s body exploded repeatedly several times.
‘So he really was just a clone. A single clone possesses the combat power of an Advanced Void God. His main body must be far more powerful!’ Hun Lao marveled.
‘I underestimated things. To think my clone would fall in this void. Ye Yunfei, you just wait. I’ll settle this score with you,’ the man roared madly, radiating immense unwillingness.
‘What? He’s truly just a clone?’ The Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master were all greatly astonished.
This middle-aged man’s strength was considerable. Had Ye Yunfei not possessed a True God-level Dao Weapon, they could not have killed him at all.
The fact that such a terrifying powerhouse was merely a clone was frightening to contemplate. One could imagine just how formidable his main body was.
‘Indeed, seniors, he was just a clone,’ Ye Yunfei confirmed.
‘But regardless, let’s extinguish this clone first.’
Ye Yunfei maneuvered the white short sword to charge forward again. Cui Hong and the Flower Goddess Palace Master immediately coordinated.
Not long after, the man was thoroughly extinguished by their combined efforts.
‘Ye Yunfei, you wait. I’ll definitely return to settle this account,’ the man declared bitterly, fixing his furious gaze on Ye Yunfei before he was completely obliterated.
‘Although he was just a clone, it still contained an enormous quantity of Soul Power energy and a portion of Soul Body energy. I won’t hold back.’
After the man exploded, Huang Shang appeared. Unleashing billowing ghostly mist, he instantly turned this area of void into a gloomy, sinister, and dim netherworld. Countless apparitions of malicious ghosts and vengeful spirits wandered within, emitting eerie laughter that sent chills down the spine.
Soon, all the residual Soul Power energy and Soul Body energy left by the middle-aged man were devoured by Huang Shang.
‘Terrible! Another Advanced Void God from the Guardian Faction has been killed!’
The other members of the Guardian Faction on the battlefield witnessed this scene. A chill ran down their spines, and their will to fight completely evaporated.
Three of the four Advanced Void Gods from the Guardian Faction had now been slain, leaving only one struggling bitterly to hold on.
It could be said the outcome of this battle was practically decided. The Guardian Faction, with only one Advanced Void God left, simply couldn’t maintain the fight.
‘Now, there’s only this guy left,’ Ye Yunfei said, a cold smirk appearing on his face as he turned and walked towards where the Great Leader and the Second Chief were locked in fierce combat.
The Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master also followed.
‘How could this be?
In today’s battle, the Guardian Faction has utterly collapsed! This shouldn’t be the case!
The Guardian Faction is the sole superpower in this void with the deepest foundation and the strongest might. I defected to them—a chance to soar on high branches! I should have risen to prominence, dominated this void, basking in endless glory!
Why is this the outcome now?’
Seeing the other three Advanced Void Gods from the Guardian Faction killed in succession, and now witnessing Ye Yunfei, the Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master about to surround him completely, the Second Chief was already seized by panic.
Moreover, during the duel, he had gradually begun to fall into a disadvantage. Most of his skills and techniques had been learned from the Great Leader. After all, ginger is spicier the older it gets. As the battle progressed, the Great Leader’s seasoned combat experience, superior fighting skills, and the resolute will for revenge steadily began to overwhelm the Second Chief.
‘No need for any of you to intervene. I wish to personally execute this rebellious disciple,’ the Great Leader said to Ye Yunfei and the others.
‘Very well, senior. We won’t intervene. Let you deal with this traitor!’ Ye Yunfei nodded in agreement.
‘Elder Huang, I’ll proceed to slay all other Deities of the Guardian Faction now. You can devour all their Soul Bodies!’
Ye Yunfei looked towards other parts of the battlefield as he spoke to Huang Shang.
‘Excellent!’ Huang Shang’s eyes lit up.
Ye Yunfei pointed. The white short sword shot out, sweeping towards the other Deities of the Guardian Faction still on the battlefield to carry out the slaughter.
In reality, as the fight had progressed this far, most Deities within the Guardian Faction had already considered retreating, unwilling to continue the battle.
Thus, quite a few Guardian Faction Deities had started to stealthily move towards the headquarters’ exit, wanting to escape.
However, Ye Yunfei had anticipated this earlier. He had stationed ten Deity-level puppets at the exit to prevent Guardian Faction members from fleeing.
This time, what Ye Yunfei wanted was to kill every single member of the Guardian Faction—leave none alive.
The Guardian Faction treated this void as a massive prison, viewing all life within as criminals, causing immeasurable disaster for the void’s development.
If not for the hindrance and oppression of the Guardian Faction a while back, the Eighth Void would have already given birth to a massive number of Deities. Every world cluster, every major faction and family would have achieved greater development.
Countless innocent lives had perished because of the Guardian Faction. The Guardian Faction had also dispatched forces against the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds on several occasions.
Were it not for the powerful figures from the Colorless Abyss intervening, Ye Yunfei believed the current Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds would have already been annihilated by the Guardian Faction, reduced to a wasteland. Thus, Ye Yunfei was filled with boundless killing intent towards the Guardian Faction and would naturally show no mercy.
