The fight continued for a while, yet that Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon had still not been subdued.
"Let's work together. The longer we drag this out, the greater the commotion will be. It might awaken the other Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons in the vicinity, making them even harder to subdue later," Ye Yunfei said.
Then, Ye Yunfei's figure flickered, and he directly appeared above the dragon's head. He urged the Earth Qi Energy in the surroundings to press down on the earth dragon.
Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and others also joined forces, coordinating with Ye Yunfei.
After another moment, the Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon finally began to grow docile, as the Geomancy Technique that Ye Yunfei was employing took effect on it. In the end, Ye Yunfei successfully subdued this Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon.
"This earth dragon's power is truly impressive. If I gather more, they will surely be of great use in the future," Ye Yunfei said excitedly, standing atop the dragon's head.
Following this, Ye Yunfei continued to subdue more Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons.
At first, it remained very strenuous because each Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon was incredibly strong, resisting desperately, unwilling to submit easily.
However, as the number of Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons Ye Yunfei subdued increased, it gradually became easier.
This was because Ye Yunfei would lead the already-subdued earth dragons in a swarm to quickly overwhelm and subdue those not yet under his control.
Time slowly passed as Ye Yunfei, leading a large pack of earth dragons, continuously encircled and subdued the Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons deep beneath the surface of the Xuanhuang Continent.
In this process, Ye Yunfei's mastery of the Geomancy Technique was also continuously improving. Cultivating the Geomancy Technique in this environment gave Ye Yunfei a delight akin to a fish finding its way into water.
"That kid's talent is not bad, he fits my taste perfectly.
Great. Soon, everything of his will become mine."
At the same time, deep beneath the Xuanhuang Continent, a certain will had been silently observing Ye Yunfei's every move all along.
Some time later, Ye Yunfei had subdued a total of one hundred and fifty Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons.
Possessing this many Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragons caused Ye Yunfei's Geomancy Technique mastery to directly ascend a whole level.
"It's time to see if I can subdue an even higher-level earth dragon," Ye Yunfei thought, setting his sights on an earth dragon adorned with ten colors. The energy aura of this dragon was more powerful; its strength was bound to be even greater.
In the following period, Ye Yunfei began to quietly make various arrangements around that Ten-Colored Earth Dragon. Then, leading a vast swarm of earth dragons, he grandly moved to encircle it.
With a *Hong!* The Ten-Colored Earth Dragon sensed danger and instantly erupted with unimaginable Earth Qi Energy, which exploded outwards, roaring mightily in all directions. This directly caused this underground region to shake violently.
"This thing is too strong!" Hun Lao couldn't help but exclaim in shock after sensing the energy aura of the Ten-Colored Earth Dragon.
"The stronger, the better!" Ye Yunfei roared and led a dense mass of earth dragons in a furious encirclement and suppression of the Ten-Colored Earth Dragon.
The various Earth Formations Ye Yunfei had just arranged in the surroundings also surfaced one after another. With the continuous elevation of his Geomancy Technique mastery, the power of the Earth Formations he set up, of course, was also rising steadily.
The simultaneous explosion of so many Earth Formations unleashed unimaginable, extremely potent power.
Yet, what shocked Ye Yunfei was that, in the span of just a few breaths, the Ten-Colored Earth Dragon violently tore a breach in the encirclement and charged out, then fled downwards into the depths of the earth.
"Escape? Not a chance!" Ye Yunfei shouted, leading a large pack of earth dragons in grand pursuit right behind the Ten-Colored Earth Dragon, unwilling to give up.
"Come on down, kid. I'm waiting for you," a will from deep within the Xuanhuang Continent sneered.
"This guy is too fast," Ye Yunfei exclaimed, directing the swarm of earth dragons to encircle, pursue, and intercept the Ten-Colored Earth Dragon.
Moreover, using his Geomancy Technique, Ye Yunfei drove vast amounts of Earth Qi Energy, transforming them into ocean-like swathes of energy that swept towards the Ten-Colored Earth Dragon to encase it.
But Ye Yunfei realized that catching up to and subduing this Ten-Colored Earth Dragon in a short time seemed unlikely.
"Fine then, I'll just slowly wear you down," Ye Yunfei said angrily.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei found himself delving deeper and deeper into the earth of the Xuanhuang Continent.
The Xuanhuang Continent was a high-grade, vast continent. Upon truly nearing its center, Ye Yunfei discovered this continent seemed bottomless.
"The interior of this Xuanhuang Continent seems to harbor a separate realm," Hun Lao suddenly spoke up. As a member of the Chaos World Tree race, Hun Lao was highly sensitive to space.
Soon after, Ye Yunfei suddenly saw a tall spatial gate appear up ahead. The Ten-Colored Earth Dragon plunged headlong into that spatial gate.
"A Small World should be concealed here," Hun Lao remarked after perceiving the spatial gate.
"Whatever the place is, I'm going to venture in," Ye Yunfei declared. Currently possessing combat power at the True God level, his courage was bolstered by his skill. So without excessive consideration, he dove in as well.
After passing through the spatial gate...
"It truly is a Small World.
This Small World is saturated with thick Earth Qi Energy. Why do I feel that the Earth Qi Energy here is denser and more advanced than in the underground world outside? It's as if the primary energy in this Small World is Earth Qi Energy," Hun Lao exclaimed in astonishment immediately upon entering.
"That's right. The Earth Qi Energy within this Small World is more advanced and denser than in the outside underground world," Ye Yunfei, as an Earth Master, of course, noticed this as well.
"Look! That earth dragon went that way," Hun Lao pointed in a direction.
Ye Yunfei's figure flickered, standing atop the head of a Nine-Colored Supreme Earth Dragon as he chased after the Ten-Colored Earth Dragon.
"This Ten-Colored Earth Dragon is truly too cunning, too hard to chase!
Knowing this, we should have targeted a different one. Maybe another wouldn't have been this difficult. I saw several other Ten-Colored Earth Dragons outside just now; there's no need to fixate on this one alone," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but say.
"It would be the same. These Ten-Colored Earth Dragons are all very powerful. Whichever one we target, none would be easy to deal with. We need patience," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Up ahead, there is a stretch of abandoned structures," Hun Lao suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Yunfei halted his steps and stopped.
Indeed, a stretch of long-abandoned structures appeared ahead.
It was evident this complex was originally of substantial scale. However, now, more than half of the structures had collapsed.
As far as the eye could see, broken walls and piles of rubble lay scattered everywhere, presenting a scene of desolation.
"That Ten-Colored Earth Dragon just rushed straight into that abandoned complex and disappeared.
Could someone have lived here before? Otherwise, why would there be such an expanse of abandoned structures?" the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm questioned doubtfully.
"Never mind that. We just need to chase that earth dragon," Ye Yunfei said. His figure flashed, and he charged into this ancient complex.
Soon, Ye Yunfei found the location of the Ten-Colored Earth Dragon. It was coiled around a palace that appeared quite dilapidated yet was structurally relatively intact. Its massive body wound around the palace's exterior walls, as if guarding it.
Ye Yunfei, followed by a large pack of earth dragons, connected with the earth energy, ready at any moment to unleash the secret techniques of his Geomancy Technique.
"I've got a feeling something isn't right here. Vaguely, it seems like a concealed will has already locked onto you. Could there be people here?" Hun Lao suddenly transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei frowned.
"I sense danger," Ye Yunfei stopped and said to Hun Lao.
"Many earth energy and earth law-related restrictions pervade here. Be careful," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm chimed in as a reminder.
"Even I feel a sense of danger; that means this place is perilous," Ye Yunfei said.
He released his Soul Power energy and heart energy, carefully perceiving his surroundings.
One must understand that Ye Yunfei now possessed True God-level strength and had various high-level techniques at his disposal. Yet, upon entering this abandoned complex, he felt a strong sense of peril. For an expert like Ye Yunfei to experience such a strong sense of danger indicated that something exceedingly hazardous must exist here.
"I think we should let it be. There are other Ten-Colored Earth Dragons outside. There's no need to risk it here. Moreover, this is Earth Demon Clan territory; it's possible this is a Forbidden Land of theirs. It wouldn't be good for us to trespass into others' Forbidden Land," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
In truth, like Ye Yunfei, he also sensed an intense feeling of danger, hence his desire to persuade Ye Yunfei to leave this place.
"You have a point. This could very well be the Earth Demon Clan's Forbidden Land," Ye Yunfei mused.
Originally, he had wanted to properly explore this ancient complex because the Earth Qi Energy within this Small World was so dense, and high-level earth laws were present. Such an environment held great appeal for an Earth Master. However, after hearing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's words, Ye Yunfei felt it truly might be the Earth Demon Clan's Forbidden Land.
"Trespassing into someone else's Forbidden Land isn't proper," Ye Yunfei thought. After considering for a moment, he turned to leave.
Yet, right at that moment.
*Honglonglong…*
The space around them suddenly shook violently. Boundless Earth Qi Energy surged forth endlessly from beneath their feet. The entire abandoned complex area became like an erupting volcanic vent, and instantly, Ye Yunfei was submerged by vast, dense Earth Qi Energy.
*Hualala…*
Ye Yunfei discovered that large quantities of advanced earth laws had materialized into thick, yellow iron chains, resembling massive yellow dragons. They gathered and coiled towards him from all directions.
"Not good! We've been trapped in a large-scale Earth Formation!" Ye Yunfei was startled, immediately realizing what was happening.
"The power of this Earth Formation is so terrifying; it might have been set up here by an Earth Master whose skill surpasses yours," Hun Lao said.
