By now, Ye Yunfei had already taken the opportunity to rapidly flee far away.
“Let's split our forces. Leave two or three to deal with these six old fellows; the rest of us will chase after that brat Ye Yunfei.”
The white-haired elder spoke, then he took a single step forward, instantly piercing through space and traversing a vast distance, chasing after Ye Yunfei with astonishing speed.
Since Kang Wan and the other five elders had bought Ye Yunfei a few moments by stalling the ten Perfected Void Gods, Ye Yunfei had already broken out of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and arrived at the void outside.
After leaving the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, Ye Yunfei immediately activated his movement technique combined with the Space Teleportation Card, swiftly teleporting towards the distance.
“I know that in a world group nearby, there is an ancient Teleportation Formation left behind from antiquity. I'll tell you its specific location. Hurry there and use that formation; it should allow you to shake off these ten fellows.”
Just as Ye Yunfei was continuously using the Space Teleportation Card to distance himself from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, he suddenly received a Sound Transmission from Kang Wan, followed by a burst of Soul Power information infused into his Soul Ocean—indeed, information about an ancient Teleportation Formation.
“Senior Kang's power has truly increased significantly! He can perform Sound Transmission across such a vast distance!”
Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
After receiving the information, Ye Yunfei confirmed the direction and immediately used the Space Teleportation Card to head towards the nearby world group.
With each teleportation Ye Yunfei performed, Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm would use their spatial secret arts to help Ye Yunfei conceal the lingering aura he left behind. A yellow talisman also surfaced within Ye Yunfei's body—the Concealing Trace Talisman gifted by Tong Hao long ago.
Ye Yunfei noticed this talisman could still be used, but its power seemed weaker than before. He understood this was because it had been used too many times. If he continued to use it, the talisman would likely be rendered useless before long.
“Damn it!
That brat's speed is actually this fast! And his aura has also become extremely faint. He's using some sophisticated spatial secret arts to conceal his aura. I never imagined this brat's spatial cultivation would be so profound.”
The white-haired elder, following behind Ye Yunfei, wore an unpleasant expression.
“No wonder this brat was able to wipe out our Guardian Faction's branch in this void. He really is a very troublesome individual.”
The white-haired elder couldn't help but murmur softly.
Apart from this white-haired elder, another five or six Perfected Void Gods were also closely tailing them, each one giving chase at full speed. Several other Perfected Void Gods had remained within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, currently engaged in battle with Kang Wan and the other five elders.
Initially, the Perfected Void Gods behind thought that with their power and speed, they would definitely catch up to Ye Yunfei in the end. But after a short while, they discovered that Ye Yunfei's aura was growing increasingly faint, and his speed wasn't that much slower than theirs. The distance between them stubbornly refused to shorten.
“Damn it! How can this brat's speed be so fast?”
Every Perfected Void God felt somewhat flustered and exasperated.
“Brat! I refuse to believe you can escape from before me! Even if it costs me a portion of my essence blood, I will make you stay!”
At this moment, one of the Perfected Void Gods suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke in fury.
He then opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood. Waving both hands, he traced an exceedingly sinister and bizarre rune in front of him. In just a few breaths, this sinister rune took full shape.
It was a ghastly red, bizarre rune, its shape somewhat resembling a heart.
“Curse him to death for me!”
The Perfected Void God muttered an incantation, reciting a passage of extremely awkward and obscure curse verses. Then, with a soft shout, he pushed both palms forward. That ghastly red, sinister rune whistled through the air, fiercely chasing in Ye Yunfei's direction.
When the ghastly red sinister rune raced after Ye Yunfei, this Perfected Void God's face paled significantly, and his aura also declined somewhat.
“Here, I have a Divine Pill. Take it; it should restore some of your essence blood.”
Seeing this, the white-haired elder flicked a finger, sending a radiant, crystalline Divine Pill floating before the Perfected Void God.
“Many thanks, Guard Captain!”
Receiving the Divine Pill, the Perfected Void God couldn't help but rejoice greatly, promptly offering his gratitude. This Divine Pill was of very high grade—a treasured item of the white-haired elder—something he would definitely not casually give away under normal circumstances.
“You just expended a fair amount of essence blood to place a curse on that brat. The damage to yourself is not light, but it will undoubtedly cause significant harm to that brat. Find a place to rest and recuperate properly.”
The white-haired elder spoke.
“Very well.”
The Perfected Void God, his face pale, nodded upon hearing the elder's words. He immediately took the Divine Pill and found a spot nearby to begin a period of secluded recuperation. He had indeed sustained damage from consuming his essence blood to place the curse on Ye Yunfei.
“I feel as if something has locked onto me.”
At this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly felt a creepy sensation, as though his Soul Body was being targeted by something dangerous.
In the next instant, a stream of crimson light rolled towards him from behind. Startled, Ye Yunfei immediately performed the Seamless Clone Shadow technique. Three identical Ye Yunfeis appeared simultaneously, fleeing in three different directions.
In truth, these three were Ye Yunfei's Clones. His true body had long since stealthily moved elsewhere. The auras of these three Clones were completely identical to Ye Yunfei's main body, making them extremely difficult to distinguish. The crimson light chasing from behind hesitated for a moment, but then it actually locked onto Ye Yunfei's true body again and fiercely gave chase.
“What is this thing?”
Ye Yunfei felt that the crimson light was exceedingly sinister, emanating a gloomy and terrifying aura, and it was dead-set on targeting the aura of his Soul Body.
“This should be some sort of extremely fearsome secret art, and possibly one targeting Soul Body aura specifically. Under no circumstances must you let it make contact, or the consequences could be unthinkable.”
Even Hun Lao felt a great wariness towards that sinister crimson light and warned Ye Yunfei via Sound Transmission.
Ye Yunfei performed the Seamless Clone Shadow technique once more, conjuring another three Clones. Simultaneously, he took out five Doppelganger Puppets, transforming them into five more identical Ye Yunfeis.
Thus, eight identical Ye Yunfeis now appeared together, fleeing outwards in eight different directions.
Although the power of these Doppelganger Puppets couldn't compare to Ye Yunfei's true body, their Soul Body auras were a perfect match for his true form.
The crimson light hesitated momentarily before the eight identical Ye Yunfeis. In the next moment, to Ye Yunfei's shock, this crimson light did not chase after the three Clones nor the five Doppelganger Puppets. Instead, it locked onto his true body once more and then whistled towards him.
“What is this thing?
It's too terrifying!”
Hun Lao couldn't help but feel extreme alarm.
By this time, Ye Yunfei had already entered a nearby world group. He soon found the ancient Teleportation Formation within a vast, primeval, dense forest.
Ye Yunfei directly rushed onto the formation. With a flick of his sleeve, he tossed out a large batch of divine crystals, embedding them into the formation's base below.
*Boom…*
The Teleportation Formation trembled violently, erupting with powerful teleportation energy. A teleportation passage appeared above the formation. The potent teleportation energy enveloped Ye Yunfei, carrying his body into the teleportation passage above to begin the transit.
Almost at the same time, the white-haired elder from behind, leading several Perfected Void Gods, also burst into this world. They immediately spotted the Teleportation Formation Ye Yunfei had stood upon, now actively teleporting him away.
“So there's a long-distance Teleportation Formation here.”
The white-haired elder said coldly.
In just a single step, he arrived high above the primeval forest where the Teleportation Formation was located.
“We must stop his teleportation!”
The other Perfected Void Gods also arrived simultaneously. They released their spatial energy and spatial laws together, vast and mighty, directly inundating the location of the ancient Teleportation Formation like a sweeping ocean. However, the teleportation power of this formation was formidable, and the Perfected Void Gods were a fraction too slow—Ye Yunfei had already been teleported away.
“Excellent! We've finally shaken off those fellows' pursuit.”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed with delight.
Earlier, with the Perfected Void Gods pressing close behind, he had been under tremendous pressure.
“Master, those fellows might also use that Teleportation Formation to follow us.”
Hu Miao said.
“That's right! They might also use that formation to teleport and continue chasing us. I almost forgot about that possibility!”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed in surprise.
“No need to worry. They can't use that formation.”
Ye Yunfei suddenly said with a smile.
Meanwhile, back where he left…
“We were a little too late. We still let that brat get away.”
At this moment, the white-haired elder and the other several Perfected Void Gods descended around the Teleportation Formation, each one sporting a gloomy expression.
“With so many of us Perfected Void Gods dealing with a junior who's only at the half-step Deity realm, we've struggled for most of the day and still haven't been able to do anything to him!
We'll continue the chase. He won't escape.”
The white-haired elder said grimly. With a flicker of his body, he landed on the Teleportation Formation. The other several Perfected Void Gods also followed, landing on the formation one after another.
But the next moment, over a dozen Formation-Breaking Flags suddenly materialized around the Teleportation Formation, fiercely impaling themselves onto it. The formation then began to tremble violently, with terrifying surges of energy raging tumultuously within it.
“Not good! This formation is going to explode!”
The white-haired elder's expression darkened as he soared upward. The other several Perfected Void Gods also hurriedly left the formation.
*Boom…*
The Teleportation Formation directly exploded, scattering into a sky full of fragments.
——
“Are you saying that right before you left, you tampered with that Teleportation Formation? And that after we left, the formation would automatically explode?”
Now, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm asked excitedly.
“Yes. So they can't use that Teleportation Formation.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“That's fantastic! I estimate those fellows must be absolutely furious now!”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm burst into laughter.
“It's a pity. That Teleportation Formation was passed down from antiquity and was quite high-grade. To have it destroyed like this…”
Hun Lao sighed with regret.
Back at the primeval forest…
“Damn it! That brat is too cunning! Right before teleporting, he tampered with things and destroyed this Teleportation Formation, preventing us from using it!”
Looking at the shattered Teleportation Formation in the dense forest, one Perfected Void God seethed, his face twisted in anger, as he roared.
“This brat's Formation cultivation really is somewhat terrifying. He actually managed to instantly destroy this ancient Teleportation Formation left behind.”
Another Perfected Void God said through gritted teeth.
