Boom! Boom! Boom...
With a wave of his hand, the Guqing Gang high-ranking member summoned and activated five True God-level magical treasures, all of them hovering in front of him. Then, step by step, he walked towards the temple ahead.
Moments later, the high-ranking member arrived in front of the temple's main gate.
"Seems like there's no danger.
Leader, I'll go in and have a look now."
The high-ranking member said with a smile, then lifted his foot to step through the temple's entrance.
However, the next moment...
Buzz buzz buzz...
The densely packed, dazzling sword lights surrounding the temple suddenly seemed to sense him. They all turned, the endless rain of sword energy targeting the high-ranking member. In an instant, terrifyingly potent sword energy surged and rolled, and one brilliant sword ray after another began slashing towards him.
"Not good! Pull back now!"
The Guqing Gang Leader's expression drastically changed upon seeing this scene.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
At the critical moment, the Guqing Gang high-ranking member frantically activated the several treasures in front of him to block the ceaselessly incoming sword energy.
But what happened next was hair-raising. Those magical treasures were all chopped to pieces, instantly rendered useless.
"How is this possible?"
Everyone present was somewhat dumbfounded, never expecting the power of the sword energy around that temple to be so terrifying.
Crack! A sound rang out as one of the high-ranking member's arms was struck by a sword ray, severed and sent flying high into the air, blood splattering across the sky.
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, a white short sword shot out, placing itself in front of the high-ranking member.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
One distinct metallic clashing sound after another rang out continuously as the white short sword was forced back again and again by those terrifying sword rays.
However, precisely because Ye Yunfei had intervened, the Guqing Gang high-ranking member seized the chance to retreat rapidly, instantly putting distance between himself and the temple.
Then, everyone noticed that all the sword energy had contracted back, ceasing their pursuit of the high-ranking member. Instead, they drifted and weaved through the space surrounding the temple.
"That high-ranking member from the Guqing Gang just now was a True God. It seems the ancient sword master was indeed worthy of his reputation. This Sword Shrine he left behind cannot even be approached by True God experts," Hun Lao couldn't help but exclaim with emotion.
Seeing that the Guqing Gang's True God had nearly been shredded by the sword energy, no one else dared step forward to attempt entering the temple.
The reason was that all the magical treasures used by the Guqing Gang high-ranking member had been True God-level, yet they were all destroyed by those horrifying sword rays. Their power was so immense that not even an Intermediate True God would dare barge in recklessly.
"Young Master Ye, this Sword Shrine is too dangerous. It seems our Guqing Gang members lack the capability to enter it. We should just leave," the Guqing Gang Leader said to Ye Yunfei.
"Let me go in and have a look."
Ye Yunfei had been sensing the temple ahead, enveloped by dense sword energy, and now suddenly spoke up.
"What?
Young Master Ye, you want to go in?"
The Guqing Gang Leader was taken aback by Ye Yunfei's words.
"Yes, I intend to go in and take a look," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei was increasingly discovering that the sword energy drifting around that temple bore an extremely close resemblance to the aura of the Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art he cultivated.
"It seems that ancient sword master from the Guqing Gang might have some connection to Jian Shenzi. If he left behind a legacy within this temple, it could very well be related to Jian Shenzi. If I could obtain it, it might enhance my swordsmanship," Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
Precisely for this reason, Ye Yunfei intended to go in and see.
"Young Master Ye, the power of those sword rays is utterly terrifying. It's better not to take the risk," the Earth Demon Clan Patriarch, hearing that Ye Yunfei intended to enter the temple, was also shocked and hurriedly advised.
"It's alright," Ye Yunfei replied, then strode towards the temple.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Three magical treasures shot out from within Ye Yunfei's body—all three were True God-level Dao Weapons. One was the white short sword, a True God Dao Weapon Ye Yunfei had obtained earlier in the Eighth Void.
After arriving in the Sixth Void and entering the Yangming Secret Realm, Ye Yunfei had acquired even more True God-level Dao Weapons.
So, while True God-level Dao Weapons were exceptionally precious and nearly impossible to obtain for others, Ye Yunfei possessed several.
Three of them, all True God-level Dao Weapons!
Everyone who saw the three treasures floating before Ye Yunfei was secretly astonished.
"Young Master Ye's origins are indeed extraordinary, to casually produce three True God-level Dao Weapons. How extravagant!" someone couldn't help but whisper.
Soon, Ye Yunfei arrived before the temple's gate. The resplendent sword energy surrounding the temple suddenly sensed him again, all turning to aim at Ye Yunfei.
"Be careful!" Hun Lao couldn't help but warn.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Ye Yunfei activated the three True God-level Dao Weapons before him, unleashing powerful magical treasure radiance.
The next moment, a dense rain of sword energy surged towards Ye Yunfei from all directions like a torrential downpour.
"Young Master Ye, careful!"
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but cry out.
The three True God-level Dao Weapons began to whirl rapidly around Ye Yunfei's body, helping him withstand the endless incoming sword rays.
Simultaneously, one golden Dharma Wheel after another appeared on the surface of Ye Yunfei's body. These Dharma Wheels spun swiftly, and soon the multitude of golden wheels formed a suit of Dharma Wheel Armor.
This was a legacy of the Golden Wheel Dynasty—the Golden Wheel Dharma Robe.
Furthermore, Ye Yunfei deployed several dozen defensive formations, layering them densely around his body.
These formations Ye Yunfei laid out were quite profound; they could move continuously with his body, ensuring protection remained around him at all times.
But soon, those formations were breached one by one by the dazzling sword rays. Even with the three True God-level Dao Weapons blocking the attacks, the sheer number of sword rays was overwhelming, and their power was terrifying.
In no time, many sword rays were slashing onto Ye Yunfei's body, producing crisp *clang* sounds.
The Dharma Wheels on Ye Yunfei's surface immediately began exploding one after another under the assault of those fearsome sword rays.
"The power of these sword rays is truly terrifying!" Hun Lao couldn't help but sigh.
"Young Master Ye won't come to harm, will he?"
At this moment, from a distance, the Earth Demon Clan Patriarch and others saw Ye Yunfei completely submerged by a staggering number of brilliant sword rays, thoroughly engulfed in a rolling ocean of sword energy. They couldn't help but grow deeply concerned.
"Let's go over and assist, help Young Master Ye deal with those sword rays. No matter what, Young Master Ye must not come to harm," the Earth Demon Clan Patriarch, seeing that Ye Yunfei seemed to be in peril, steeled his resolve and declared.
"Alright, let's all go help Young Master Ye together."
The other True Gods also nodded in agreement. Led by the Earth Demon Clan Patriarch, they prepared to charge forward and aid Ye Yunfei.
"You must not come over. I can manage," Ye Yunfei immediately called out to stop them.
By now, the Golden Wheel Dharma Robe on Ye Yunfei's body was more than half destroyed. Many sword rays had already struck Ye Yunfei's flesh, carving deep wounds on its surface. Blood poured out in torrents.
However, Ye Yunfei's physical body was incredibly tough, essentially equivalent to a thousand-times-tempered magical treasure. So, even struck by those sword rays, it was not immediately critical. Added to that were the formations he had erected around him, the three True God-level Dao Weapons, and the Golden Wheel Dharma Robe on his body—all had blocked a portion of the sword energy.
"Young Master Ye, are you alright?"
The Earth Demon Clan Patriarch, seeing the gashes carved into Ye Yunfei's flesh and the freely flowing blood, hastily asked.
"I'm fine. Don't come over. I can handle this," Ye Yunfei called out again.
"Why don't you use your Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art against these sword rays? It might be effective," Hun Lao suddenly suggested.
"The power of these sword rays is too frightening. Master's sword path attainment isn't at that level yet. Even the Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art probably can't handle it," Hu Miao interjected.
"No, if these sword rays before us belong to the same legacy as the Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art, then using it might have some special effect," Hun Lao countered.
Hearing Hun Lao's words, Ye Yunfei immediately swept a hand, activating the Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art. Thick sword rays manifested, weaving around his body to defend against the endless attacks coming from all directions.
