I wonder if that Senior Uncle in the Ancient Azure World Cluster could handle this?"
Ye Yunfei suddenly thought of the Senior Uncle in the Ancient Azure World Cluster, but soon shook his head.
"Senior Uncle is only a remnant soul. Never mind how strong his power might be; he isn't suited for combat in the first place. Taking this fellow to him now would just be dragging him into trouble."
Quickly, Ye Yunfei shook his head again, dismissing the idea of going to the Ancient Azure World Cluster.
"So where should we go now?"
For a moment, Ye Yunfei was stumped. What was even worse was that the massive figure pursuing them seemed to be catching up to their spaceship.
"Young Master Ye, it seems a terrifyingly powerful expert is tailing us," one of the elders from the Earth Demon Clan sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei.
By now, even the eight Intermediate True Gods Ye Yunfei had brought were beginning to perceive the surging dangerous aura from behind.
"Indeed, a truly fearsome expert is pursuing us. We cannot return to the Xuanhuang Continent right now; doing so would only bring disaster to it," Ye Yunfei replied.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei was already unleashing the Chaotic Heavenly Secret Art, constantly performing divinations. Simultaneously, a compass flew out from his body, hovering above his head. Mysterious symbols rose from the compass, quickly forming a long pointer that trembled intensely.
This compass could indicate fortune and misfortune in critical times.
"It seems we should head in that direction."
After divining for a few moments, Ye Yunfei's gaze suddenly fixed on a particular direction. According to both the calculations of the Chaotic Heavenly Secret Art and the compass's indication, this direction was extremely auspicious. Moreover, Ye Yunfei's divination yielded a phrase: "Only by being driven to a desperate place can one find a chance at survival."
"A desperate place... Is there an absolutely perilous place in that direction?"
Ye Yunfei peered into the distance in that direction, racking his memories. Having devoured the Soul Bodies of many Sixth Void Deities, he was thoroughly familiar with the situation across the void.
"Could it be that particular Forbidden Land?"
Soon, the name of a terrifying, restricted area flashed across his mind.
"Where are we going now?" one of the Earth Demon Clan elders asked.
"We're heading to the Ancient Desolate Sea."
Ye Yunfei pondered for a brief moment, made a decision, and spoke through gritted teeth.
"What? To the Ancient Desolate Sea! That place is known as the forbidden ancient sea where even Heavenly Gods dare not tread carelessly. It's far too dangerous!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, this elder couldn't help being startled.
"We have no other options now. It won't be long before the expert behind us catches up. Likely, none of us is a match for him. We head straight for the Ancient Desolate Sea."
Ye Yunfei said helplessly.
"Young Master Ye, we follow your instructions in all matters."
The other True Gods exchanged voice transmissions to deliberate amongst themselves. Then, one of them spoke up.
Subsequently, the spaceship changed course, heading toward the location of the Ancient Desolate Sea. Within the Sixth Void, the Ancient Desolate Sea was a terrifying Forbidden Land that made people pale at the mere mention of its name. It was said that even Heavenly Gods and God Kings were unwilling to casually set foot inside it. Under normal circumstances, no one dared to approach it.
Meanwhile, that dangerous figure from behind was drawing nearer.
"It seems he truly is a Heavenly God or perhaps a God King. His aura is too terrifying," Hun Lao remarked, unable to hide his worry.
"You can't escape. Stop struggling."
At that moment, a voice boomed from behind, clearly entering the ears of everyone within the spaceship, causing everyone's Soul Bodies to wobble.
"This fellow is too terrifying," the twenty True Gods aboard turned pale with fright.
"This is the true underlying strength of the Guardian Faction!" someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"Young Master Ye, we will reach the Ancient Desolate Sea soon. It's a top-tier, terrifying Forbidden Land within the Sixth Void! Must we really enter it?"
One of the Earth Demon Clan elders asked Ye Yunfei.
"First, we approach it and see. If pushed to the brink with no other recourse, then we'll have to seek shelter within the Ancient Desolate Sea to evade the fellow behind us."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Not long after, earth-shattering roars of a sea came surging from the void ahead. The rumble of massive waves echoed across the vast emptiness.
"We've arrived at the Ancient Desolate Sea!"
Every True God aboard turned deathly pale. Fear lingered in their eyes because, within the Sixth Void, since ancient times, the Ancient Desolate Sea had possessed a vicious reputation. No one dared to approach it. Even Heavenly Gods and God Kings feared this terrifying Forbidden Land. So, while everyone in the Sixth Void knew such a place existed, no one ever dared to step inside it for exploration or treasure hunting. It was said those lacking sufficient strength weren't even qualified to enter—they would be slain by the terrible dangers before even getting close. Thus, upon arriving before the Ancient Desolate Sea, everyone felt immense pressure.
"Young Master Ye, what do we do? Are we really going in?" someone asked Ye Yunfei.
"Let's see first if the fellow behind dares to keep following. If necessary, we'll have no choice but to enter the Ancient Desolate Sea."
Perceiving the terrifying figure surging closer from behind, Ye Yunfei said solemnly.
Hearing him, the other twenty True Gods within the spaceship steeled themselves mentally, ready to face whatever dire dangers awaited.
"Have you people lost your minds? Fleeing from me, you actually dared to come to the Ancient Desolate Sea."
At that moment, the figure from behind drew nearer. His voice rolled forth, reaching everyone's ears.
Boom! Boom! Boom...!
Ahead appeared a tempestuous ocean. Massive waves reared skyward, while thunderous roars from these towering seas echoed endlessly through the vast emptiness.
Soon, an imposing, tall figure radiating terrifying energy appeared in their view, striding step by step through the distant void.
It was a burly middle-aged man with indifferent eyes, looking down imperiously upon the spaceship where Ye Yunfei and the rest were.
"Did you think coming to the Ancient Desolate Sea would scare me off? Pathetic! Even lowly beings like you dared come here, let alone me. Even if I were to enter the Ancient Desolate Sea, disaster wouldn't be certain for me. But for you lot, the moment you step inside, death is assured."
The middle-aged man spoke coldly.
His entire body was enveloped in profound Laws, offering him meticulous protection and making it exceedingly difficult to discern his realm or power.
"This guy is really too terrible! He should be a Heavenly God or a God King," Hun Lao stated.
"I still can't tell for sure if he's a Heavenly God or God King. This fellow is genuinely very powerful. We're simply no match for him."
Ye Yunfei had been constantly perceiving the middle-aged man's aura, only to find that his current level of Soul Power made it impossible to determine the man's realm and strength. He couldn't help giving a bitter smile.
"It seems we truly have to enter the Ancient Desolate Sea. But for True Gods, the Ancient Desolate Sea is known as a terrifying Forbidden Land offering 'certain death upon entry, with absolutely no chance of survival,'" Hun Lao sighed.
Ye Yunfei had already told him the many legends about the Ancient Desolate Sea circulating in the Sixth Void.
"Oh no! That guy is about to act!"
Suddenly, Hun Lao exclaimed in alarm to Ye Yunfei. Ye Yunfei also instantly felt a chilling, hair-raising sense of peril.
"Everyone, get ready to enter the Ancient Desolate Sea immediately."
Ye Yunfei immediately instructed the other True Gods around him.
"Are we truly going in?" hearing his words, the other True Gods hesitated.
"Everyone, our situation is like being between a rock and a hard place. We have no choice. Let's do as Young Master Ye says: head into the Ancient Desolate Sea first," one of the Earth Demon Clan elders declared through gritted teeth.
The other True Gods pondered for a split second, then nodded. However, just as Ye Yunfei prepared to lead these True Gods into the Ancient Desolate Sea...
"What the hell is this Guardian Faction? Turns out they can only bully the weak. Aren't you ashamed?"
A derisive voice sounded out. Ye Yunfei then saw two middle-aged men appearing from afar, covering an astonishing distance with merely a single step to arrive before them.
Upon arriving, these two middle-aged men positioned themselves between Ye Yunfei's group and the Guardian Faction expert.
"Sirs, who are you?"
The Guardian Faction expert was momentarily stunned upon seeing these two strangers appear so suddenly, his expression then swiftly changing as he realized their realms and strengths seemed no weaker than his own.
"Never mind who we are. If you don't want to die, get lost now. Otherwise, prepare to die here."
One of the men spoke coldly.
"Hah! You're being far too presumptuous!"
The Guardian Faction's middle-aged man snorted coldly. After all, he was a Heavenly God. To be berated so openly was a humiliation.
