"What?"
After hearing the report, all the high-ranking officers of the Alliance Army present in the hall were furious.
The Alliance Army had developed extremely rapidly during this period, quickly becoming one of the top-tier superpowers in this void. Wherever they went, no one dared to provoke them; they commanded the world. To suddenly suffer such heavy losses now was hard to accept.
"Those ten bastards are too hateful! Let's go fight them!"
Several hot-tempered high-ranking officers slapped the table and roared on the spot.
"Fight? They are ten Perfected Void Gods! What do we have to fight them with? Anyone who goes would be walking to their death! We must not be rash, everyone, let's be rational!"
Kong Lao looked at the furious high-ranking officers before him and hurriedly shouted loudly.
He feared these high-ranking officers would truly run off to fight those ten Perfected Void Gods head-on.
After listening to Kong Lao, everyone calmed down.
That's right, they were ten Perfected Void Gods. Whoever went would die!
"Report! Latest news! Another five branch strongholds of our Alliance Army have been destroyed by those ten Perfected Void Gods! Furthermore, many branch strongholds of the Restorationist Faction, the Fire Clan, the Flower Goddess Palace, and other forces have also been wiped out!
Also, those ten Perfected Void Gods have announced they will formally re-establish the Guardian Faction! Quite a few forces have already joined the Guardian Faction, though most of those who joined were forced to. Those who disagreed were directly eliminated."
Just at that moment, another scout rushed hurriedly into the hall and reported loudly.
Another five branch strongholds destroyed!
Upon hearing the report, all the high-ranking officers in the hall changed their expressions dramatically.
"Against ten Perfected Void Gods, our Alliance Army is no match. It seems we can only report this to Young Master Ye and let Young Master Ye handle it."
One high-ranking officer sighed helplessly and said.
"Issue the order immediately. All forces and personnel at all branch strongholds of our Alliance Army must evacuate and return to the headquarters at once. The faster, the better."
Kong Lao then continued.
"Good, I'll go relay the order immediately!"
A nearby elder said, immediately rushing out of the hall to personally convey the command.
"Report! At present, roughly twenty-odd troops from various world groups or factions are heading towards the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. They are coming to seek refuge!"
Suddenly, yet another scout hurriedly charged into the hall and reported loudly.
"Moreover, there might be even more factions coming to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds for refuge later!"
The scout added.
"I originally thought after destroying the Guardian Faction, our void would become peaceful. Who would have thought now Guardian Faction experts from other voids outside would come in to cause trouble. Our void is going to descend into chaos again!"
One high-ranking officer couldn't help but sigh.
"Young Master Ye once said that our war with the Guardian Faction had just begun. Now it seems indeed so."
Kong Lao said with a grim expression and a heavy voice.
"Young Master Ye has been in seclusion cultivating this entire time; it seems he hasn't come out. Being disturbed while attempting to break through realms is the biggest taboo, especially for the God Tribulation. If disturbed just before the heavenly tribulation arrives, all previous efforts could be wasted."
One high-ranking officer said.
"That's indeed the case."
Other high-ranking officers nodded.
Most of these Alliance Army high-ranking officers were already gods. They certainly knew how precious the opportunity presented by the God Tribulation was. When in seclusion attempting to break through to the Void God realm, being disturbed was the greatest taboo; the impact was enormous.
This was also the main reason they had been delaying reporting various recent news to Ye Yunfei — they feared disturbing him during his breakthrough attempt.
Everyone understood that achieving godhood was immensely significant for Ye Yunfei. It was a key bottleneck related to whether Ye Yunfei could achieve greater development in the future.
"Report! News has just come in! Those ten Perfected Void Gods have announced they will come to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to destroy the headquarters of our Alliance Army! And they are even boasting they will kill Young Master Ye! They might set off for the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds very soon!"
Yet another scout rushed into the hall and reported loudly.
"What!"
Hearing this scout's report, all high-ranking officers changed their expressions dramatically.
"This time, even if we want not to disturb Young Master Ye, it's impossible."
Kong Lao said with a soft sigh.
In the time that followed, several more scouts returned one after another, reporting that even more factions had been destroyed by those ten Perfected Void Gods.
Furthermore, many Alliance Army forces on their way back to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds had been discovered and brutally intercepted and killed by those ten Perfected Void Gods.
After receiving the messages, the Alliance Army high-ranking officers were all furious, yet utterly helpless.
Not long after, many high-ranking officials from various factions led their troops to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, seeking to enter the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to take refuge.
"The situation is becoming more chaotic. I must report the situation to Young Master Ye now."
Kong Lao sighed and decided to disturb Ye Yunfei, who was in seclusion cultivating. He knew they could wait no longer.
At the same time...
"Let's go to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds now. It's time to find that Ye Yunfei."
In a certain world, after destroying the headquarters of a faction, those ten Perfected Void Gods looted all the wealth of that faction. Then, the white-haired elder looked towards the direction of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and slowly said.
During this period, these ten Perfected Void Gods had thoroughly grasped the situation in the Eighth Void.
"Good, let's go find that kid Ye Yunfei now. I want to see if he is truly as formidable as the legends say."
A Perfected Void God next to him immediately chimed in.
"Even if a Perfect Semi-God is impressive, there are limits. How could he possibly be a match for us? Just wait and see. I will personally cut off Ye Yunfei's head, letting all the beings in this Eighth Void see clearly how utterly helpless the young genius they revere truly is."
A relatively short but sharp-eyed Perfected Void God next to him said with a laugh.
"Let's go."
The white-haired elder took a step and instantly traversed a vast spatial distance, his speed astonishing.
The other nine Perfected Void Gods each utilized their movement techniques as well, like ten shooting meteors, heading towards the direction of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds with incredible speed.
Inside the Phantom Tower in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"My God Tribulation is finally about to arrive!"
Ye Yunfei, who had been still like an old monk entering deep meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils shot forth rolling surges of radiant light. The energy throughout his body churned wildly. All the Great Dao Laws he had ever cultivated transformed into visible, crystalline, dazzling chains of law that clattered as they manifested around his body, shaking violently, like countless brilliant long snakes of different colors.
"Excellent! With his talent and strength, once he becomes a god, he should be without equal within the Void God realm!"
Seeing this, Hun Lao couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Master's God Tribulation is finally coming!"
Hu Miao almost cried. She knew Ye Yunfei had waited too long for this day.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Huang Shang were also extremely excited.
Boom... rumble rumble...
Ye Yunfei walked out from within the Phantom Tower. Above him in the high sky, terrifyingly vast layers of tribulation clouds had already appeared, dark and heavy, nearly covering half the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Innumerable dazzling bolts of lightning, like brilliant, radiant giant dragons, were wildly swimming and roaring within the vast black sea of clouds. The void of the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds began to darken. Terrifying, destructive auras of lightning filled everywhere.
All shadowy-type beings in this world group, as well as beings who practiced shadowy-type energy cultivation methods, felt their hearts trembling and galloping at this moment. A deep-seated fear originating from the depths of their Soul Bodies arose, and they couldn't help but find places to hide.
Because at this moment, terrifying lightning auras pervaded everywhere across the entire world group. This scene was truly too dreadful.
"What is going on?"
Kong Lao, bringing a group of Alliance Army high-ranking officers who intended to go to the place where Ye Yunfei cultivated to report the various recent situations, suddenly discovered the high sky had been enveloped by heavy, dark tribulation clouds. All of them were terrified, their expressions changing dramatically.
"What on earth happened? Why have most of the spaces in our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds suddenly been enveloped by such terrifying tribulation clouds?"
Some high-ranking officers couldn't help but panic and cry out.
"This seems to be... a God Tribulation," one high-ranking officer guessed, looking up at the endless sea of lightning in the sky.
"How is that possible? How could anyone's God Tribulation reach such a terrifying scale? This doesn't look like a tribulation; it's like it intends to destroy this world group. Could it be those ten Perfected Void Gods have already arrived and are executing some terrifying cultivation art or martial skill to attack our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?"
Another high-ranking officer immediately next to him expressed disbelief and shouted.
Because the scene before them was truly too terrifying. Those tribulation clouds of such vast extent, like a vast ocean, made one tremble and shiver.
Even more terrifying was that the tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to not be just one layer, but layer after layer, stacked from low to high. The vast Lightning Tribulation stretched boundlessly, submerging the expansive void, seemingly intent on destroying everything.
"If this truly is a God Tribulation, then I'd guess only one person could attract a tribulation of this level: Young Master Ye."
One high-ranking officer couldn't help but look towards the location of Ye Yunfei's seclusion cultivation. Then he saw a figure suddenly appear, stepping step by step into the rolling thunder.
"It's Young Master Ye! So it is indeed Young Master Ye's God Tribulation arriving! Young Master Ye is going to face his tribulation!"
This high-ranking officer recognized Ye Yunfei at a glance. Both shocked and elated, he couldn't help but shout, and then everyone looked over towards Ye Yunfei.
"It really is Young Master Ye! Young Master Ye is facing his God Tribulation!"
More high-ranking officers cried out with pleasant surprise.
They saw lightning rays destroying worlds, vast and boundless. The sea of thunder was expansive and huge. Dense, thick bolts of lightning were ferocious and violent, seeming to have become the very source of destruction, intent on annihilating everything in the world.
A tribulation of this scale had already surpassed everyone's understanding!
"Compared to Young Master Ye's tribulation, my own God Tribulation back then seems like child's play."
Looking at the dark, heavy tribulation clouds in the high sky and the vast number of wildly swimming lightning streaks and electric snakes, many Alliance Army high-ranking officers were utterly shocked.
Standing beneath the rolling thunder, Ye Yunfei seemed very calm, even with a touch of excitement.
"My God Tribulation has finally begun!"
Ye Yunfei said slowly.
"Only... the scale of your God Tribulation is just too terrifying!"
Watching the dark, dreadful tribulation clouds, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but click his tongue in awe.
"It really is too terrifying! Master's God Tribulation is the most dreadful God Tribulation I've ever seen."
Hu Miao also said in amazement.
"Such a terrifying scale of Lightning Tribulation indicates that once you break through and become a god, your strength will absolutely soar."
Hun Lao said.
"What is that? Has something happened in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?"
At this time, the Great Leader arrived with a group of Restorationists outside the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Suddenly seeing such a dreadful scene inside the worlds, he involuntarily halted his steps.
"Could it be someone is facing their God Tribulation? But this scale of tribulation is too terrifying!"
The Great Leader felt uncertain and suspicious.
"A Fang, look! What is that?"
At this moment, Cui Hong and the Flower Goddess Palace Master, bringing the Flower Goddess Palace's forces, also arrived outside the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds from another direction. Seeing the density of tribulation clouds and sky-toppling thunder inside, they were also startled.
"It appears someone is facing their God Tribulation, but this scale of God Tribulation is unheard of. Did I guess wrong? Perhaps this isn't a God Tribulation, but some major incident has occurred within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?"
The Flower Goddess Palace Master guessed.
However, soon enough, the Great Leader, Cui Hong, and the Flower Goddess Palace Master all saw Ye Yunfei standing beneath the sky-toppling thunder.
"So it's Young Master Ye facing his God Tribulation!"
All three of them couldn't help but exclaim simultaneously.
"Young Master Ye is truly too monstrous to be able to attract such a dreadful God Tribulation."
Cui Hong couldn't help but marvel.
"Indeed. Only Young Master Ye could attract such a terrifying God Tribulation!"
The Flower Goddess Palace Master exclaimed in awe.
"So you two are here."
Just at that moment, an icy voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Oh no. Those ten have arrived!"
Both Cui Hong and the Flower Goddess Palace Master simultaneously changed their expressions dramatically.
