"You dare destroy my physical body, kid? We are now sworn enemies!"
The next moment, the Perfected Void God's Soul Body appeared not far away, staring venomously at Ye Yunfei and roaring.
"You won't have the chance. Maybe in your next life."
Ye Yunfei responded with a cold smile.
The next instant, over thirty Soul Power stars swarmed forward, encircling the Perfected Void God's Soul Body. Simultaneously, Huang Shang's obsidian-bright ghostly form appeared behind him, joining forces with Ye Yunfei to attack.
Huang Shang had refined far too many Deity-level Soul Bodies during this time. The ghostly energy he now possessed was vastly stronger than before. When faced with a Perfected Void God now, it barely registers to him; he is fully capable of confronting them head-on.
"You're next."
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to another nearby Perfected Void God. With a thought, he first unleashed the Moon Soul Slash. A cold, desolate full moon materialized within that Perfected Void God's soul sea.
"What a terrifying Soul Force martial arts technique!"
With his current Soul Power intensity, the Moon Soul Slash Ye Yunfei executed posed a massive threat to the vast majority of Perfected Void Gods.
"It's a pity I only just received the Mental Force martial arts technique gifted by Senior Yangming King and have only just begun cultivating it. My Mental Force energy hasn't improved much yet. Otherwise, using Mental Force energy against enemies would be even easier."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself. The time since he received the Mind Gate Technique from Yangming King was still very short. Ye Yunfei had already begun using some Soul Power stars to constantly comprehend and cultivate it, but there hadn't been any significant improvement yet.
After all, Mental Force energy was an extremely niche and difficult energy to refine. The difficulty of cultivating it was far greater than that of Divine Energy.
While unleashing the Moon Soul Slash, Ye Yunfei had already surged forward, instantly arriving before this Perfected Void God. He threw a punch. A terrifying imperial pressure erupted from his fist, instantly flooding the space ahead with a violent, surging force. The colossal fist caused the space to continuously shatter.
"He's merely an Intermediate Void God! How can he possess such terrifying energy intensity?"
The Perfected Void God under attack from Ye Yunfei, sensing the terrifying, rolling fist force, turned deathly pale. He had originally thought that, as a Perfected Void God facing an Intermediate Void God's attack, he would at least possess superior energy. But now he discovered Ye Yunfei's actual energy strength far surpassed his own.
Boom!
In his panic, this Perfected Void God could only throw a punch in return to meet Ye Yunfei's fist. Crack! His entire arm directly exploded, and his body was sent flying backward from the shockwave.
"How is this possible?!"
This Perfected Void God struggled to accept this reality. He was a young genius of the Tianhai Sect. It was always him surpassing realms to fight others. He never imagined he would now be sent flying by a single punch from someone two minor realms lower.
"It's over!"
After sending the Perfected Void God flying with one punch, Ye Yunfei's mind moved. The White Short Sword struck the Perfected Void God's body at an astonishing speed, slicing him cleanly in two.
"Ahhh…!"
A miserable scream escaped the Soul Body of this Perfected Void God as he turned and fled. However, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power stars and Huang Shang were already waiting for him. As for the previous Perfected Void God's Soul Body, it had already been shared and devoured by Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang.
"This is bad! Everyone, be careful! This kid's strength is too terrifying! He's stronger than us! We must join forces to have any hope of dealing with him!"
The remaining eleven Perfected Void Gods, witnessing Ye Yunfei easily defeat two of their rank in such a short time, realized this unfamiliar young man's strength was horrifyingly extreme.
"No wonder he could kill so many members of our major forces!
Dammit! Since when did such a monstrous freak appear in our Sixth Void?!"
The remaining ten Perfected Void Gods felt both shock and fury, a sense of defeat washing over them. They had always prided themselves on being young geniuses within the Sixth Void. They never expected to encounter a young genius even more monstrous than themselves today.
"Alright, time to end this battle."
Ye Yunfei glanced at the situation within the city, starting to grow impatient with the pace of the slaughter. With a wave of his hand, another two hundred-plus Deity-level puppets appeared, charging furiously toward those trapped inside the city.
Ye Yunfei possessed over four hundred Deity-level puppets in total. He had now deployed all of them.
At this point, all the Formations and Earth Formations Ye Yunfei had previously laid were fully activated. Those who had entered the city would find it extremely difficult to escape in a short time. Coupled with so many puppets blocking their retreat paths from all sides, these people had no choice but to steel themselves and fight.
"Dammit! How can there be so many puppets?! And they're all Deity-level!"
Those trapped inside the city all roared with fury. The puppets were not only formidable in combat strength but also possessed incredibly hard bodies, making them extremely durable. Even if struck and sent flying, they would immediately charge back and re-join the battle.
"Over four hundred Deity-level puppets!
Brother Ye, how do you have so many puppets? This is terrifying!"
Lu Shi stood within the small formation space, watching the mass of puppets with his scalp tingling.
"The Young Master's strength and methods are simply too terrifying!"
At this moment, two men of the Guanzhong Six Heroes had returned to the outskirts of the city. They had discovered the whereabouts of another group of Watchers faction members and rushed back to report. Having just returned, the sight of the horrific massacre inside the city deeply shocked them. Seeing Ye Yunfei effortlessly defeat those Perfected Void Gods was especially staggering.
"Big Brother was right. The fact that we, the Guanzhong Six Heroes, have the chance to follow such a terrifying Young Master should be a tremendous opportunity."
The two men exchanged looks of shock and deep respect. One of them spoke up.
"Indeed. This Young Master is a monstrous talent like a soaring dragon. I cannot think of any other young expert in the Sixth Void who could compare to him."
The other man nodded repeatedly.
A moment later, the vast majority of people within the city had been killed by the puppets.
Huang Shang and Ye Yunfei continuously devoured and refined the Soul Bodies and soul fragments left behind by those people. The Blood Clan Clone also continuously refined and absorbed the Blood Essence remaining from the fallen.
"With its current strength, my Blood Clan Clone should now be able to fight Perfected Void Gods, right?"
Ye Yunfei glanced at the Blood Clan Clone, whose body was enveloped in billowing blood mist, musing to himself.
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, the Blood Clan Clone charged directly beside a Perfected Void God and unleashed the Bloodline Grand Technique.
Gurgle… Gurgle….
The bloodlines within that Perfected Void God instantly began to boil uncontrollably. His blood vessels also started to swell of their own accord. His entire body turned crimson red, like a cooked prawn.
"Dammit! This is an expert of the Blood Clan! The Blood Clan has nearly become extinct within our Void! How could a Blood Clan expert suddenly appear here?!"
The Perfected Void God was badly startled. He hastily circulated his energy, trying to calm the boiling of his bloodlines. But by this time, Ye Yunfei had already killed his way before him. After a few moves, Ye Yunfei used the White Short Sword to hack him into several segments.
Shortly after, the battle within the city was almost concluded. Only the last two Perfected Void Gods remained, surrounded layer upon layer by over four hundred Deity-level puppets.
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, watching these two Watchers faction Perfected Void Gods with a mocking gaze.
"Kid… just who are you?"
The two Watchers faction Perfected Void Gods saw that everyone around them had been slaughtered, leaving only the two of them. They felt both shock and despair. One of them stared fixedly at Ye Yunfei, his voice hoarse as he asked.
"Who I am is none of your concern.
For you two, who I am is meaningless now. Prepare to die."
Ye Yunfei said lightly. Then, with a wave of his hand, over four hundred Deity-level puppets surged forward. Over four hundred massive stone clubs whistled in from all directions, battering those two Perfected Void Gods in a relentless, unending stream.
These two Perfected Void Gods possessed formidable combat strength. In a one-on-one fight with these puppets, they could win easily. But simultaneously facing over four hundred puppets, they were simply overwhelmed.
Moments later, amidst unwilling and miserable screams, the two Watchers faction Perfected Void Gods were ruthlessly smashed into meat paste by over four hundred puppets wielding stone clubs.
"All wiped out!"
Lu Shi stood inside the small formation space, watching this horrific massacre, feeling a chill run down his spine yet also immense joy.
With all these people completely eliminated, there would be no evidence left and no dead bodies to confirm his own involvement. He wouldn't have to fear investigations targeting him.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei, Huang Shang, Goldhorn Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Qin Xiaoyu were cleaning up the battlefield within the city, gathering the spoils of war.
Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang used their respective secret arts to continuously devour the Soul Bodies and soul fragments left behind. The Blood Clan Clone continuously refined and absorbed the lingering Blood Essence.
After refining the Blood Essence of over a hundred deities in one go, a rumbling explosion suddenly erupted from within the Blood Clan Clone's body. Its bloodline power entered a violent, turbulent state.
"My Blood Clan Clone's strength seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough."
Seeing the bloodline energy within the Clone churning violently, as if about to undergo a transformation, Ye Yunfei felt a stir of excitement. He immediately teleported the Blood Clan Clone into the Mirage Pagoda.
The breakthroughs and upgrades of the Blood Clan were different from those of other races' beings. They did not require lightning tribulations. This was because the Blood Clan improved their strength by devouring the Blood Essence of other living beings, cultivating energies and laws belonging to the yin-dark category. If exposed to the light of heaven's thunder, they might suffer severe damage. Therefore, Blood Clan breakthroughs generally did not involve facing Lightning Tribulations. At most, they faced Yin Thunder Tribulations, similar to ghost cultivators.
"After this breakthrough, your Blood Clan Clone will likely be able to fight Perfected Void Gods."
Hun Lao remarked.
"It should be able to. During this period, the Blood Clan Clone has refined and absorbed so much Deity-level Blood Essence. Quantitative change has led to qualitative change. An increase in strength is inevitable."
Ye Yunfei nodded in agreement.
"I'm on the verge of a breakthrough. I need to go into closed-door cultivation next!"
Huang Shang suddenly announced to Ye Yunfei.
After devouring a large batch of Soul Bodies, his obsidian-bright ghostly body was radiating billowing ghostly energies. It was like a fathomlessly deep black hole, seeking to devour all light around it, even space itself.
From within his body, frightening wails of vengeful ghosts and wronged souls emanated incessantly.
After speaking, Huang Shang immediately entered the Mirage Pagoda to begin his closed-door cultivation.
"Old Huang, these spirit pills I refined especially for you should be of help."
Ye Yunfei took out a batch of spirit pills and sent them floating before Huang Shang.
The ghostly energy cultivated by Huang Shang belonged to the yin-dark category. Therefore, tailoring to the characteristics of his energy, Ye Yunfei often refined specific spirit pills to assist his cultivation.
"My Soul Force Energy has also risen by a significant margin."
Ye Yunfei sensed his current level of Soul Power. With a thought, vast and mighty Soul Force Energy transformed into a rolling storm, radiating from his soul sea. Immediately, circle after circle of dazzling, soul-force halos of light bloomed around his head.
The space around Ye Yunfei's body was instantly engulfed by these terrifying Soul Power energies.
Ye Yunfei felt his Soul Force Energy had entered a qualitative transformation state, becoming exceedingly solid and condensed.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei's will moved.
Rumble….
In the distance, a distant wall was struck by a sudden, silvery full moon, instantly exploding into a cloud of dust and fragments.
"My Moon Soul Slash can now attack physical objects, and its destructive power is astonishing."
A smile appeared on Ye Yunfei's face. Previously, his Moon Soul Slash was solely used to target the enemy's Soul Body. Now, with his ever-increasing Soul Force Energy, the Moon Soul Slash he unleashed could also be used to attack physical entities. Moreover, being a Soul Force martial technique, its speed of attack was astonishing. With just a thought, it could strike the target, leaving them no time to react.
"From now on, the Moon Soul Slash will become one of my strongest combat methods."
Ye Yunfei looked at the wall that had vanished into nothingness and silently confirmed this to himself.
