Ahhhh!
As that white short sword swept out in killing strokes, one Deity after another from the Guardian Faction was instantly cleaved apart and exploded.
This was, after all, a True God-level Dao Weapon. Using it to deal with Primary and Intermediate Void Gods was like cracking nuts with a sledgehammer, achieving overwhelming superiority and instantaneous, effortless kills.
"Quick, run!
Our Guardian Faction is finished! That kid Ye Yunfei is a terrifying butcher deity. We can't possibly be his match!"
Every single Primary and Intermediate Void God among the Guardian Faction had been scared out of their wits and were now turning to flee in total panic.
"You only think to run now? It's already too late," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
With a flick of his will, over thirty more puppet Deities rushed towards the entrance and exit, cutting off the escape route for the Guardian Faction's Deities.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The white short sword streaked across the battlefield with astonishing speed. Almost every time it attacked, a Void God would fall. And after those Void Gods were slain, Huang Shang would immediately charge forward to devour the soul energy left behind.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei released his Blood Clan Clone, following behind Huang Shang and continuously refining and absorbing the essence of bloodline left behind by those Deities.
Thus, the number of Guardian Faction Deities on the battlefield decreased at an alarming rate.
"Argh! I refuse to accept this! It was so hard for me to cultivate to divinity, to finally stand at the pinnacle of this void, becoming one of the top masters. How can I perish here?"
"Why is this happening?
Our Guardian Faction dominated this void for such a long era, only to meet this end today!"
"Ye Yunfei, you little beast! I am an elder of the Divine Hall! You cannot kill me! Otherwise, my Divine Hall will never let you off!"
"Young Master Ye, I surrender! I was forced to join the Guardian Faction against my will! If I didn't choose to join them, they wouldn't have allowed me to transcend the tribulation and become a god! I declare that from now on, I join the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds! Henceforth, I will serve you faithfully, your honor!"
...
One Guardian Faction Deity after another roared with unwillingness just before death. Some lamented, some cursed in fury, some threatened, and some pleaded for mercy.
But Ye Yunfei paid no heed to any of it, killing them all.
Not long after, all the Guardian Faction Deities on the battlefield had been exterminated.
"Indeed worthy of a True God-level Dao Weapon!
It's simply too handy!" Hun Lao couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Owning a True God-level Dao Weapon practically allows one to sweep through all Void Gods. It's truly exhilarating.
By the way, didn't you still have two War God-level Dao Weapons?
Give one to me."
Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm also felt incredibly thrilled watching the scene, cheering continuously before making his request.
"Those two True God Dao Weapons were damaged and can only be used again after repairs. If you really want one, I'll give you one after they're fixed," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"So satisfying, far too satisfying! After devouring these guys' soul energies, my strength will definitely have a significant increase."
At this moment, Huang Shang was still on the battlefield, continuing to devour the fragments of soul energy left behind by the fallen Guardian Faction Deities.
The Blood Clan Clone was also constantly refining and absorbing the bloodline essence from those Deities. Ye Yunfei sensed the Blood Clan Clone's energy aura steadily rising as well.
After the Guardian Faction Deities were wiped out, there was no longer any suspense to the outcome of this battle. The Deities from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds began to completely take control of the entire battlefield, hunting down the ordinary troops of the Guardian Faction.
Because Ye Yunfei had stationed Deity-level puppets to guard both inside and outside the Guardian Faction headquarters' entrance and exit, aside from the very few Guardian Faction members who had already managed to escape ahead of time, the majority were trapped inside the headquarters with no way out. Their cries to heaven went unanswered, their pleas to earth met with no response; they could only accept their fate of being slaughtered.
"It's simply too shocking! Who would have thought the battle would end like this!"
At this time, the spectators observing from the void around the Guardian Faction headquarters had all seen the battle's result and were utterly astonished.
Although those spectators hadn't entered the Guardian Faction headquarters, many had sent their soul power perceptions inside to observe the entire battle process.
"The powerful Guardian Faction actually suffered such a crushing defeat. Out of their four Advanced Void Gods, only the last one remains, and by the looks of it, even this last one probably won't escape being slain. It's truly unbelievable."
"I initially thought it was more likely the Guardian Faction would ultimately win this battle, but never imagined they would lose so completely. The Guardian Faction is finished."
"From now on, this void will be ruled by the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, and Ye Yunfei will become the number one figure within our void.
From now on, his power will be immense, with no one daring to defy him."
...
In the void surrounding the Guardian Faction headquarters, all the spectators were shocked beyond belief, wildly discussing the events and constantly sending out the news. Information about the battle spread through the void at an astonishing speed.
Everyone knew that the outcome of this battle had completely reshaped the power structure within this void. The Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds would become the sole superpower within this void. Even the Guardian Faction couldn't stand against them. Who else could possibly oppose them now?
"So shocking, so spectacular!
We've witnessed a historical turning point for this void!"
"No, I must return immediately. The power structure of the void has changed. Our clan's way of operating must change from now on. We must immediately sever any ties with the Guardian Faction and find ways to curry favor with the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds."
"Indeed. From now on, we must think of ways to win the favor of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, preferably establishing some connections with them."
"Terrible news. My sect previously had overly close relations with the Guardian Faction. If Ye Yunfei investigates later, we might face annihilating disaster. I must report back to the Sect Master immediately to devise a plan."
...
Seeing the battle's outcome, many spectators turned to leave in a hurry, particularly those from power clans and world groupings that had once associated with the Guardian Faction, now feeling terrified.
The Guardian Faction was already destroyed. If Ye Yunfei and the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds conducted an investigation later, the situation would be dire.
At this moment, inside the Guardian Faction headquarters, the battle was entering its final stages. Only two individuals on the entire battlefield were still engaged in intense combat: the Great Leader and the Second Chief. The vast majority of other Guardian Faction members had already been slain. Rivers of blood formed on the battlefield, and corpses piled up like mountains.
Among these corpses were not only those of Guardian Faction members but also of troops from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds army. After all, in this scale of conflict, casualties were unavoidable for both the winning and losing sides.
Ye Yunfei, the Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master were all observing the battle between the Great Leader and the Second Chief.
The positions they stood in actually blocked the Second Chief's escape routes, leaving him with no chance to flee.
"How did it come to this?
Could my choice back then have been wrong?"
The Second Chief, seeing the scene before him—especially the mountain-like piles of Guardian Faction corpses on the battlefield—looked deathly pale, his heart gripped by panic. His will began to waver.
With this state of mind, his combat effectiveness kept declining, and he was completely suppressed by the Great Leader, his ability to resist greatly diminished.
"Traitorous disciple! Not only did you betray me, but you also caused the deaths of so many from our Restorer Faction. For this debt of blood, today you will repay with your life."
Killing intent radiated from the Great Leader as he stared coldly at the Second Chief.
After an intense battle, all that remained within him towards this former disciple was intense murderous intent.
The Second Chief's face was extremely ugly. He remained silent, struggling to suppress the panic in his heart. Though he felt a thousand, ten thousand times unwilling, he had to accept the reality before him. His eyes flickered as he began to ponder how he might save his own life.
"Everyone, be alert! This fellow is thinking of escaping!" the Master of Xiaoliang Temple declared coldly with a sneer.
"Hahaha... In this situation, can he still escape?" Cui Hong, gripping his blazing fire spear, aimed the tip at the Second Chief and laughed heartily, ready to strike at any moment.
If the Great Leader hadn't insisted on dealing with the traitor himself, the group attacking together would have torn the Second Chief limb from limb long ago. But everyone understood the Great Leader's feelings and thus waited patiently to the side.
Right at this moment.
"Something's wrong, Young Master Ye! Huanhuan and Yueyue... they're gone!"
An elder rushed over anxiously, arriving beside Ye Yunfei to report with urgency.
"Elder Xiao, what's going on?"
This elder was Xiao Ziming.
"Young Master Ye, earlier, Huanhuan and Yueyue were still on the battlefield, and I was keeping an eye on them to prevent any accidents. But later, I was tied up by two Primary Void Gods from the Guardian Faction and couldn't get free. It was a very difficult fight.
Later on, those two Primary Void Gods were finally slain by an Intermediate Void God-level puppet.
When I went to look for Huanhuan and Yueyue afterwards, I realized they had already disappeared. Up until now, I haven't been able to find them.
I fear something might have happened to them!" Xiao Ziming explained anxiously.
Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue were both Saintesses of the Xiao Family, representing the clan's hopes. That's why Xiao Ziming was so worried.
"Don't worry, Elder Xiao. I will go look for them immediately."
Ye Yunfei had ties to both Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue. Hearing of their disappearance, he too grew somewhat concerned.
After all, Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue were only at the Half-Deity level. In such a large-scale conflict, they were far too insignificant. The slightest mistake could have led to their demise on the battlefield.
Ye Yunfei immediately released his soul power energy, covering the entire battlefield instantly for careful perception. At the same time, he issued orders to all the Deities from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, commanding them to help search for Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue.
At Ye Yunfei's command, all the Deities of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds immediately took action, scouring every corner of the Guardian Faction headquarters for traces of Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue.
"How strange. They aren't on the battlefield—neither hide nor hair to be found."
After meticulously perceiving and searching the entire battlefield, including every part of the Guardian Faction headquarters, Ye Yunfei unexpectedly failed to detect any trace of Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, and he frowned.
"I've sensed traces of their lingering aura on the battlefield. They were indeed fighting on this battlefield earlier, but they departed afterwards," Hun Lao, also perceiving the auras of Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, said after a moment.
"Yes, both of them left the battlefield," Ye Yunfei said, frowning.
"But fortunately, the battlefield still carries residual traces of their auras. Let me deduce which direction they went in."
Ye Yunfei sat down cross-legged, then activated the Chaos Providence Sutra to deduce the whereabouts of Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue.
Although Ye Yunfei hadn't employed this deduction secret technique for a long time, as his strength continuously improved, especially his soul power, the potency of the technique when he used it now was far greater.
Before long, Ye Yunfei's gaze shot intensely towards a specific direction.
"They should have gone in this direction!"
Ye Yunfei declared, then rose into the air and headed straight for that direction.
Even though the battle between the Great Leader and the Second Chief was still ongoing, the Great Leader had completely gained the upper hand. Furthermore, three other experts—the Master of Xiaoliang Temple, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master—were watching menacingly from the sidelines. The Second Chief could no longer stir up any waves, so Ye Yunfei wasn't concerned.
