Boom!
At this moment, the giant transformed from the dwarf was fiercely fighting the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
This dwarf was a Perfected Void God. He retrieved a massive hammer, looking imposing like the God of Massive Strength, and swung it down.
The purple-robed youth, manipulating the purple treasure pagoda, joined the combined assault.
Simultaneously fighting the two young powerhouses, the Three-Legged Golden Crow remained at ease. Each strike from its sharp talons tore space, carrying terrifying fire energy that forced the two young powerhouses to retreat continuously.
"This palace is saturated with vast amounts of Fire Energy and fire laws. This is effectively its territory, where it can replenish its combat energy at any time! That's why its combat power is so formidable!"
A young powerhouse said gravely.
"Let's all act together."
The recently arrived powerhouse from the Sima Family took a step forward, a vase appearing in his palm. He advanced, holding the vase aloft, intent on suppressing the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
This young powerhouse from the Sima Family was actually a Perfected Void God! Achieving a breakthrough to Perfected Void God at such a young age placed him among the elite of the younger generation in the Sixth Void.
Rumble…
The vase radiated rolling divine light, cascading with strands of Daos Laws in various colors. Each strand was slender when it first appeared, but in an instant, they grew thick and robust, ultimately transforming into thick, spear-like laws that shot towards the Three-Legged Golden Crow with extreme sharpness.
A croak! The Three-Legged Golden Crow actually took a step back.
This was the first time it had been forced to retreat in its battle against these young powerhouses, showcasing how terrifying the power of that vase was.
"This is the Sima Family's Law Divine Vase, one of the most renowned divine artifacts in our Sixth Void! I never imagined the Sima Family would have Sima Xuan bring the Law Divine Vase along!"
Someone recognized the origin of the vase and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"This is a True God-level Dao Weapon. It seems the Sima Family attaches great importance to the opening of this Yangming Secret Realm, even entrusting such a valuable treasure to a junior."
Another person murmured.
"It truly is a True God-level Dao Weapon."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Boom!
Right then, a streak of saber light tore through space, appearing before everyone's eyes as it slashed towards the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
"It's Yuan Yidao! He actually concealed his strength earlier. So this is his true power!"
To everyone's astonishment, the saber light unleashed by Yuan Yidao actually forced the Three-Legged Golden Crow back a step.
"Attack together!"
Seeing the Golden Crow forced back twice in succession, the other young powerhouses felt their spirits soar. They all charged forward, either deploying magic treasures or unleashing their various ultimate killer moves. For a moment, the entire palace began to boil with energy.
Lu Shi, brandishing his thick stone club, also joined the fray. After all, every young powerhouse who came here longed to subdue this Three-Legged Golden Crow.
Everyone realized that this Three-Legged Golden Crow before them was actually manifested from an inner elixir. They all understood how valuable the inner elixir left behind by the ancient Yangming King's Three-Legged Golden Crow was.
Obtaining this elixir would truly be a massive fortune.
Under the siege of these young powerhouses, the Three-Legged Golden Crow seemed to be struggling slightly. The newly arrived powerhouses were especially formidable—not only high in realm but also exceptionally strong in combat prowess.
Craw!
Just as the Three-Legged Golden Crow was being beaten back continuously, almost unable to hold on, it suddenly opened its mouth and let out a loud cry. Then, a stream of golden flames erupted from its beak, transforming into a golden fire dragon that lunged forward to attack.
"Be careful! These flames possess incredibly terrifying burning power!"
Sima Jie and Sima Hao immediately shouted upon seeing this. They were worried Sima Xuan would get hit, as they had witnessed the fearsome power of these golden flames during the earlier fight.
Rumble…
Sima Xuan raised the Law Divine Vase in his hand and shook it forcefully. Immediately, a brilliant shower of divine droplets splashed from the vase. Colliding with the golden flames, they doused half of them on the spot.
"Truly worthy of the renowned Law Divine Vase!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel delighted.
"This Golden Crow's combat energy is Fire Energy and fire laws. The divine water sprinkled from this Law Divine Vase can counteract those golden flames, meaning we needn't fear its fire energy and fire laws any longer."
Someone remarked.
"Beast, I shall slay you!"
Yuan Yidao stepped forward, his long saber slashing out fiercely. A thick saber beam materialized, hacking towards the head of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
The other young powerhouses seized the opportunity to launch furious attacks from different directions.
Suddenly, the Three-Legged Golden Crow let out a piercing cry, and the entire interior space of the palace began to tremble violently.
Then, the multi-colored flames within the palace turned turbulent, like a pot of boiling water. To the shock of the onlookers, the flames of various colors around them began to surge continuously into the body of the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
At this moment, the Golden Crow's aura surged rapidly.
"Not good! The flames inside the palace are turning into this Golden Crow's energy."
In just a moment, the Three-Legged Golden Crow's aura intensified over a dozen times, its presence horrifying.
Clang! The Golden Crow extended a bird claw, smacking away the long saber in Yuan Yidao's hand on the spot. Another claw then lashed out, knocking away a purple vase.
"Beast! Cease your savagery!"
Sima Xuan raised high the Law Vase, pressing it forward. Clang! The Golden Crow's beak pecked fiercely at the vase, sending it reeling backward.
"How is this possible?!"
Sima Xuan was startled. Never before had the vase been repelled when he used it against an enemy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
By now, the Three-Legged Golden Crow had swallowed nearly half of the flames in the palace. Its strength had increased too much compared to before. Every move it made unleashed a terrifying, irresistible energy. In a mere moment, all the young powerhouses were sent flying.
"I never expected the power of this inner elixir to be so strong. It seems we cannot subdue it."
A young powerhouse couldn't help but sigh.
Several young powerhouses were already injured, beginning to back away, wanting to leave this palace.
"Brother, let's go. This Golden Crow is too terrifying. Those acting now are among the most elite young talents of our Sixth Void. Even joining forces, they still can't suppress it. It seems none of us here can subdue it.
Let's leave early and seek other opportunities elsewhere. The Yangming Secret Realm is vast. This Three-Legged Golden Crow inner elixir is just one opportunity among many. We needn't waste so much time here."
Lu Shi secretly sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei.
But before his words were finished, he saw Ye Yunfei striding purposefully towards the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
"Now it's my turn to meet you."
Ye Yunfei's gaze fixed on the Three-Legged Golden Crow as he spoke.
As he spoke, with each step forward Ye Yunfei took, a massive divine dragon phantom materialized behind him. After nine steps, nine divine dragons soared in the air, finally merging into one, unleashing overwhelming draconic majesty. Simultaneously, an ancient Emperor Phantom also appeared.
Rumble…
Ye Yunfei punched with both fists simultaneously—his left, the Heavenly Dao Divine Dragon Fist; his right, the Imperial Dao Divine Fist. Both fists instantly reached before the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Three-Legged Golden Crow swung its claws, clashing repeatedly with Ye Yunfei's fists. Both sides fought with extreme speed, exchanging dozens of blows in less than a breath. Each collision sparked a shower of dazzling sparks.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei fight evenly with the Golden Crow, the other young powerhouses were deeply shocked and unbelieving.
"Too strong!"
Although Ye Yunfei's offensive seemed fierce, after dozens of exchanges, he found his fists were faintly aching, and his arms felt sore and weak from the force. He couldn't help but inwardly exclaim.
"Could it be I'm no match for it either?"
Just as Ye Yunfei's mind wandered slightly, a pair of sharp bird claws attacked, arriving right before him.
In surprise, Ye Yunfei immediately manifested one golden dharma wheel after another on the surface of his body. Interlaced, they formed a golden Wheel Dharma Vestment.
Clang! The claws struck Ye Yunfei's chest, sending him flying backward.
"Brother, I told you we can't defeat this Three-Legged Golden Crow."
Seeing this, Lu Shi immediately swung his thick stone club, striking towards the creature. But the next moment, both Lu Shi and his stone club were sent flying.
While being repelled, Ye Yunfei instantly unleashed three Soul Power martial techniques—Soul Sword, Moon Soul Slash, and Soul Force Star Method—intending to attack the Golden Crow's Soul Sea. However, he was shocked to discover the Three-Legged Golden Crow seemed to have no Soul Sea at all.
"What's happening? Even though this is just an inner elixir, it contains some Remnant Soul fragments of the ancient Three-Legged Golden Crow. The soul power techniques I use should be effective against its remnant soul. Why have they no effect?"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but speak to Hun Lao.
"No, it's possible this inner elixir has a powerful defense against Soul Power energy. You can't breach its defense, so you can't harm its remnant soul."
Hun Lao replied.
Craw! The Three-Legged Golden Crow seemed incensed by Ye Yunfei. Its already massive body swelled once more as it soared into the air, its claws descending towards Ye Yunfei's head.
Ye Yunfei swung both fists to block. Simultaneously, three colossal golden spheres from his dantian rose into the air, and eight divine veins manifested simultaneously within his body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture circulated at extreme speed within Ye Yunfei's body. The eight divine veins writhed like eight colossal dragons inside him.
The nine mythical beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel charged out together, pouncing forward to kill. At the same time, a white short sword shot out from Ye Yunfei's body, slashing fiercely towards the Three-Legged Golden Crow's head.
This was Ye Yunfei's most powerful offensive. However, to his astonishment, even after unleashing so many techniques and abilities, he was still fighting with great difficulty.
"How is this possible? Who is he? Why does he possess such terrifying combat strength?"
The other young powerhouses inside the palace, witnessing Ye Yunfei fiercely battling the Golden Crow and the terrifying combat prowess he displayed, were all filled with disbelief.
"So this is his true strength... I still underestimated him before."
Looking at Ye Yunfei's imposing divine might, Lu Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
