"If I were in my peak state from back then, I certainly wouldn't fear these Perfected Void Gods. I could kill one with a single palm strike. But it's different now. These ten fellows can already rule as kings within our void," Tong Hao said.
At that moment, the three Perfected Void Gods suddenly received a Sound Transmission. They glanced at each other, simultaneously ceased their attacks, then turned and left, instantly departing from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"Why did those three suddenly run away? Are they scared?" Tong Hao said.
"I think they might have gone to pursue Young Master Ye," Kang Wan said, a worried expression appearing on his face as he spoke in a low voice.
"That's right. It's indeed possible they've gone to hunt down Young Master Ye. We don't know what his current situation is. Should we go to help him?" Ding Qianjie said, gazing at the retreating figures of the three Perfected Void Gods in the distance.
"Seniors, you should focus on protecting the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Right now, only you can somewhat hold off those Perfected Void Gods," a voice spoke at this moment. A figure had quietly entered the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds from outside and now stood before the six elders.
"Young Master Ye!" The six elders were overjoyed.
The figure before them was a Clone of Ye Yunfei.
It turned out that after Ye Yunfei used the teleportation formation to leave earlier, he had secretly sent a Clone back to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"Young Master Ye, how is your true self now?" Kang Wan hurriedly asked.
"My true self has used that teleportation formation to depart, temporarily shaking off those fellows' pursuit. He should be conducting Law Refinement of the Body somewhere right now," Ye Yunfei's Clone said.
"Six Seniors, you don't need to worry about my true self. Stay here and protect the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. If those ten fellows return to deal with this place, no one will be able to stop them otherwise. They likely won't find my true self easily, so you need not be concerned," Ye Yunfei's Clone continued.
"Very well. In that case, we six old-timers will stay here in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and await good news from your true self, Young Master Ye," Kang Wan and the other five elders considered for a moment, then expressed their agreement.
"Honored Seniors, do you think Young Master Ye will succeed in achieving his breakthrough to deity this time?" The Chief Leader came to the side of the six elders and spoke.
In front of these six elders, the Chief Leader could only refer to himself as a junior, as their seniority was greater.
"We can't say for sure. We hope he can break through," Kang Wan sighed, then said softly.
"If Young Master Ye can break through to deity this time, then no one will be able to bully our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds at will, not even those ten fellows," Ding Qianjie said.
"Yes. With Young Master Ye's talent and current strength, once he breaks through to deity, he will definitely be able to handle those ten," Tong Hao nodded.
At the same moment, across a vast distance of space, within a world among a vast mountain range, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged in the air, continuously attempting to draw the Dao laws of the surrounding space into his body.
Within Ye Yunfei's body, the Dao laws from before were still blazing fiercely, tempering his physique. But to truly complete the Law Refinement of the Body, he needed to draw in even more Dao laws, subjecting his body to a more thorough tempering. Only then could he truly pass this trial of Law Refinement and achieve a true breakthrough to deity.
At first, while Ye Yunfei could perceive the Dao laws existing in the surrounding space, he seemed unable to draw them into his body.
"I cannot fail like this," Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
He knew that if he couldn't draw more Dao laws into his body, the step of Law Refinement of the Body might fail, and this Tribulation for becoming a deity would also end in failure.
Ye Yunfei utilized one of his Soul Bodies to comprehend the Law Refinement. Simultaneously, within his body, he continuously circulated the Nine Yang Ancient Sutra. Eight Chaos Divine Meridians manifested, resembling eight dazzling, resplendent rivers of stars, with boundless energy surging and roiling within them.
For a time, all the energy in the surrounding heaven and earth resonated. A massive influx of energy continuously poured into the eight Chaos Divine Meridians within Ye Yunfei's body.
Unaware of how much time had passed.
"Finally, Dao laws are starting to enter my body again," Ye Yunfei's face suddenly revealed an expression of pleasant surprise.
"Wonderful! Master's Law Refinement of the Body seems to be starting!" Hu Miao was the first to notice and cried out joyfully.
"Yes. It has finally restarted," Hun Lao nodded, feeling immensely relieved.
He knew that if Ye Yunfei's Tribulation for deity failed this time, there was no telling when the next opportunity would arise.
"This must be fate's favor. To be able to restart drawing Dao laws into the body and continue the Law Refinement under such circumstances… there's definitely an element of luck involved," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
Rumble…
As Ye Yunfei continued the Law Refinement of his Body, this stretch of heaven and earth began to boil. Countless invisible Dao laws whistled over, continuously flowing into Ye Yunfei's body.
Ye Yunfei's body had completely transformed into a furnace. The vast Daoist flames of the law generated astonishing heat. Massive tongues of flame spilled forth from his body, scorching the space around him until it twisted and deformed incessantly.
"Such terrifying Daoist flames!" Hun Lao exclaimed in awe, sensing the astonishing heat emanating from within Ye Yunfei.
"It won't be long before his Law Refinement is complete. I'm somewhat eager to see how powerful he will be after his breakthrough to deity," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"No need to ask! Once Master becomes a deity, his strength will skyrocket! I always have faith in Master!" Hu Miao cried out, clenching her small fist.
"Search! This red glow led us here, meaning that brat must be somewhere nearby!"
Meanwhile, the ten Perfected Void Gods were still scouring the void, searching for traces of Ye Yunfei.
The white-haired leader, who had been following that crimson glow, spoke to the others.
"Damned brat! He made us search for so long. Just wait. Once I find him, I'll definitely slash him dozens of times, cut him into ten thousand pieces, then grind his bones to dust! Only then will the hatred in my heart be appeased!" one of the Perfected Void Gods trailing behind the white-haired old man gnashed his teeth and said.
"That brat's Tribulation for deity was interrupted by us. He probably can't become a deity this time. As long as he doesn't ascend to deity, he's merely a Demigod. No matter how strong, his limits are finite. We need not rush. Once he reappears, I alone will rush over and slay him," another Perfected Void God suddenly said with disdain.
