Ye Yunfei then retrieved six communication jade slips and handed them to Lü San. These six communication jade slips had been refined by Ye Yunfei in recent times, specifically tailored to the spatial characteristics of this Sixth Void.
Every void, every world cluster, and even every world possesses its own spatial peculiarities. Under the guidance of Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Ye Yunfei had refined these jade slips to be particularly suitable for transmitting messages within the Sixth Void.
After Lü San accepted the items from Ye Yunfei, he immediately turned and departed.
Ye Yunfei picked up the jade slip Lü San had just given him, projecting his Soul Force energy perception into it.
"The Earth Demon Clan and the Liu Family... Looks like I need to visit the headquarters of these two forces," Ye Yunfei mused, then spoke aloud.
He then left behind several avatars and a number of Deity-level puppets within Green Mountain World and quietly slipped out.
"Let's go to the Liu Family first." Upon stepping out of Green Mountain World and into the outer void, Ye Yunfei considered briefly and announced his decision.
Due to Senior Liu's influence, Ye Yunfei held a certain special fondness for the Liu Family. He retrieved a spatial skyship, boarded it, and set course for the Liu Family headquarters.
This spatial skyship had been obtained by Ye Yunfei back in the Yangming Secret Realm, taken from a Perfected Void God disciple of the Guardian Faction. It was an extremely fast vessel, perfect for long-distance travel.
As the strongest superpower in the Sixth Void, even a mere disciple of the Guardian Faction possessed such high-grade flight treasures; they truly had deep pockets.
The spatial skyship streaked rapidly through the void, flying towards a world cluster named Everlasting Spring World Cluster.
The Liu Family was a major, well-known power in the Sixth Void.
Everlasting Spring World Cluster served as the Liu Family headquarters; almost the entire cluster belonged to their domain.
Before long, Ye Yunfei's skyship arrived outside the Everlasting Spring World Cluster.
"Just as expected. The Guardian Faction has this place completely surrounded." Ye Yunfei halted his skyship while still some distance from the cluster's edge because numerous troops were patrolling back and forth ahead, tightly encircling the entire area.
According to the information gathered by the Guanzhong Six Heroes, the Guardian Faction was already preparing to formally move to annex or annihilate the Liu Family.
The Guardian Faction's forces, leading troops from several subordinate factions, had formed a great army that thoroughly surrounded Everlasting Spring World Cluster.
Ye Yunfei stored away his skyship, activated an invisibility talisman, and simultaneously altered his appearance and the aura of his Soul Body.
The appearance he assumed now was that of one of the young Guardian Faction disciples he had killed in the Yangming Secret Realm.
Within the secret realm, Ye Yunfei had killed hundreds of Guardian Faction disciples, devoured their Soul Bodies, and even obtained their identity tokens.
With the memories of those Guardian Faction disciples, Ye Yunfei could easily use a Guardian Faction identity token.
He directly activated a token in his hand, and immediately he sensed the presence of many Guardian Faction members ahead.
These identity tokens could sense and locate each other. Just as Ye Yunfei sensed the Guardian Faction members ahead through his token, those members also sensed Ye Yunfei's existence through theirs.
"You over there! What are you doing lazing around? Hurry up and come help! This time, to deal with the Liu Family, three True God Lords will personally arrive. If they catch sight of your lax attitude, you'll be in trouble—your life might even be at stake." A Guardian Faction member in the distance suddenly shouted towards Ye Yunfei's direction.
He had sensed Ye Yunfei's presence and, through the identity token on Ye Yunfei's person, confirmed that he was a comrade. However, seeing Ye Yunfei standing alone, seemingly idle, he immediately called out a warning.
Ye Yunfei feigned surprise, quickly picked up his pace, and walked over nervously.
That person glanced at Ye Yunfei, vaguely recalling his face, confirming he was indeed from their faction.
"You dare to slack off hiding over there? I advise you to start helping immediately. Once those three True God Lords arrive, we'll be assaulting the Liu Family headquarters," the person said, sweeping a glance over Ye Yunfei before ignoring him and resuming his guard post.
"Thank you for the warning, brother. I nearly made a huge mistake." Feigning trepidation, Ye Yunfei walked up to the man.
The Guardian Faction had deployed large numbers around the Everlasting Spring World Cluster's periphery—some units patrolled constantly, while others held fixed defensive positions.
The person speaking with Ye Yunfei stood at a fixed defensive position; he was an Advanced Void God.
"No need for thanks; we're all comrades. But you must be careful not to offend the three True God Lords later. They might just swat you dead with a single slap." The man nodded dismissively.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei had already drawn close. He suddenly reached out, his palm expanding with a thunderous rumble as it grabbed towards the man's body. Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei unleashed Moon Soul Slash, Soul Force Star Method, and Soul Sword, all attacking the man's Soul Sea.
A mere Advanced Void God was pitifully incapable of resisting Ye Yunfei's combined assault. In the next moment, his Soul Body was violently devoured, and his physical body instantly sealed.
Ye Yunfei used a Soul Force Planet to mimic this man's Soul Body, taking control of his physical form. The man then moved and acted normally; no one could discern he had already become one of Ye Yunfei's avatars.
Ye Yunfei himself entered the Phantom Tower. His avatar then carried the tower, continuously shifting positions, eventually successfully blending into the Guardian Faction's ranks.
The Guardian Faction had deployed a massive number of troops around Everlasting Spring World Cluster, including forces from the Guardian Faction itself and several allied factions. Viewed from afar, the army resembled a vast, turbulent ocean, radiating waves of killing intent.
Ye Yunfei scanned the Guardian Faction's army, discovering over thirty Perfected Void Gods. As for Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced Void Gods, their numbers were far greater.
The dense congregation of Deities unleashed their energy auras together, a mighty torrent pressing down upon Everlasting Spring World Cluster, causing its spatial fabric to shake violently, seemingly unable to withstand the force of thirty-odd Perfected Void Gods.
"I should be able to handle this, more or less," Ye Yunfei mused, observing the Guardian Faction's forces.
"The Guardian Faction will have three True Gods arriving soon. We just don't know what level they are. However, regardless, three True Gods coming together is quite frightening," Hun Lao remarked.
"While the Watchers' three True Gods haven't arrived yet, I'll kill a batch of their Deities. After all, when they encounter me, they're bound to suffer heavy losses regardless." Ye Yunfei stared coldly at the Guardian Faction troops before him.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei locked onto a Perfected Void God from the Guardian Faction, simultaneously unleashing Moon Soul Slash, Soul Force Star Method, and Soul Sword—all three Soul Force Martial Arts launching a sudden, coordinated assault.
"Ahhh!" The Perfected Void God cried out, shuddering as if struck by lightning, his body sent flying backward.
Recently, Ye Yunfei had secluded himself in the Phantom Tower refining pills, successfully concocting many Soul Force energy-type True God divine pills. After consuming them, his Soul Force energy level had risen sharply, now equivalent to that of a True God. Deploying Soul Force Martial Arts against Void Gods was an effortless suppression.
One Perfected Void God after another screamed and flew backward, tossed about like ragdolls. Each of the three Soul Force Martial Arts Ye Yunfei employed was an extremely advanced technique, particularly the Moon Soul Slash, which was inherently a high-tier Soul Force martial skill. Coupled with Ye Yunfei's current terrifying Soul Force energy level, a single move was enough to injure a Perfected Void God.
"What's happening?" Seeing Perfected Void Gods screaming and being sent flying one after another, the other Guardian Faction members nearby paled in shock.
"Damn it! Who's attacking?" Many Guardians Deities shouted in alarm and panic.
However, Ye Yunfei hid within the Guardian Faction's ranks, standing calmly amidst the chaos, watching the scene unfold. No one could detect him. Moreover, within this chaotic situation, his attacks were even more convenient.
Moments later, all thirty-plus Perfected Void Gods had been blasted away by Ye Yunfei. Each one's Soul Body suffered heavy injuries, and several of the weaker ones had their Soul Bodies completely devoured.
"Dammit! It must be the Liu Family attacking! Since when did they possess such a terrifying expert, capable of attacking our Perfected Void Gods with Soul Force Martial Arts so silently?" The Guardian Faction's Deities fell into disarray. Many rushed to aid the fallen Perfected Void Gods, while others turned their gaze towards the Liu Family headquarters in Everlasting Spring World Cluster, hurling insults at the cluster.
With their leading Perfected Void Gods incapacitated, the Guardian Faction's army became leaderless, plunging further into chaos.
Then, Ye Yunfei shifted his focus to the Advanced, Intermediate, and Primary Void Gods, continuously assaulting them with Soul Force Martial Arts.
Another wave of screams echoed as Guardian Faction Deities were thrown into disarray. Even Perfected Void Gods could not withstand Ye Yunfei's Soul Force attacks; other Void Gods were even more vulnerable.
Whether Advanced, Intermediate, or Primary Void Gods, Ye Yunfei annihilated their Soul Bodies in an instant. After injuring the Soul Bodies, he directly devoured them. Huang Lao, transformed into a wisp of faint ghost mist, slipped unseen through the chaotic crowd, working with Ye Yunfei to split the devoured Soul Bodies of the Guardian Faction Deities between them. To Huang Lao, Deity-level Soul Bodies were precious cultivation resources he was loath to miss.
Ordinary cultivators would grow exhausted from excessive Soul Force energy consumption if they employed Soul Force Martial Arts too frequently or intensely. However, Ye Yunfei's Soul Force Star Method could devour enemies' Soul Bodies while attacking, replenishing his own Soul Force energy. Thus, he never had to worry about Soul Force exhaustion; instead, his own reserves only grew larger and stronger. This was one of the marvels of the Soul Force Star Method.
Within moments, all the Deities among the Guardian Faction's ranks had been slain by Ye Yunfei via Soul Force Martial Arts. The remaining troops were still numerous, but they trembled in terror.
To have nearly all of their side's Deities struck down was utterly terrifying. Within Everlasting Spring World Cluster, the Liu Family's higher-ups had also noticed.
"It seems something has gone awry in the Guardian Faction's army. What in the world is happening?"
"Why did their Deities suddenly fall without reason?"
"It appears a mysterious expert is secretly attacking them with Soul Force Martial Arts. Moreover, only a True God-level powerhouse would have the capability to defeat so many of their Deities via Soul Force Martial Arts in such a short time." The Liu Family elders, shocked, discussed urgently.
"No, even for True Gods, it's difficult to possess such fearsome Soul Force Martial Arts. Because that hidden expert has already used Soul Force Martial Arts to kill nearly two hundred Guardian Faction Void Gods. Ordinary True Gods can hardly possess such immense Soul Force energy or such high-level Soul Force Martial Arts, because the amount of Soul Force energy required to kill that many Void Gods so quickly is colossal—even a True God would find it difficult to bear.
Unless... it's not just one True God, but several lurking nearby, attacking together," another Liu Family elder shook his head and voiced his opinion.
"What? Several True Gods hiding nearby, helping our Liu Family together? What's going on? That can't be right, can it? True Gods aren't exactly numerous in our Sixth Void—although not exactly few, they're far from abundant. Usually, the True Gods on good terms with our Liu Family, willing to help us, are extremely few; we can count them on one hand. Furthermore, they might not be willing to openly stand against the Guardian Faction for our sake." Yet another elder speculated.
"Don't speculate randomly. Regardless, their Deities are almost all gone now. Our Liu Family should seize this opportunity to eliminate all the Guardian Faction forces outside," a voice spoke, reaching the ears of every Liu Family elder.
"Patriarch... slaughter all of them? If we do this, we'll truly be locked in a fight to the death with the Guardian Faction." The Liu Family elders were taken aback.
"Then, judging by the current situation, do you think the Guardian Faction will spare our Liu Family? They already intend to destroy us. What is there left for our Liu Family to hesitate about?" That voice sighed faintly in reply.
