"How strong is the Earth Fiend Clan?"
The youth asked an elderly man beside him.
"Honored Master, as far as I know, although the Earth Fiend Clan is large in scale, its overall strength is not considered formidable within our Sixth Void. They don't even possess Heavenly Gods, and can only be considered a major clan at best,"
the elderly man replied respectfully.
The way this elder looked at the youth was filled with a zealous, pious devotion, as if he was ready to sacrifice everything for this youth at any moment.
"Good. Take me to the Earth Fiend Clan headquarters immediately. I want to see if my clansman is really hiding among them,"
the youth said with a smile. Then, he and the elder set off towards the direction of the Earth Fiend Clan headquarters.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was leading a massive contingent from the Guardian Faction, advancing grandly through the void.
Whoever they encountered along the way, upon catching sight of the Guardian Faction's forces from afar, immediately scrambled to give way.
Because within the Sixth Void, most people harbored a sense of fear towards the Guardian Faction.
After all, in the Sixth Void, this was a super power. Moreover, the Guardian Faction had always acted arrogantly, and these days, they often slaughtered entire worlds and annihilated clans without hesitation. Anyone who offended the Guardian Faction generally met a grim fate.
"The Guardian Faction is truly too domineering!"
Hun Lao couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, they're truly an evil force. If they aren't eradicated, this void will know no peace,"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm declared, a sense of justice bursting from him as he spoke through gritted teeth.
Not long after, they finally arrived at their destination.
Outside a world cluster, the vast void was already packed with personnel from the Guardian Faction.
After devouring so many Soul Bodies of True Gods within this void, Ye Yunfei was naturally quite familiar with its various world clusters. The world cluster before them was called the Qianhu World Cluster and belonged to the Lingxiao Sect's territory.
At this time, within the Qianhu World Cluster, Lingxiao Sect's army was already prepared for battle. The two forces stood facing each other across space, the murderous auras emanating from both vast armies continuously spreading and filling this expansive stretch of the void.
To attack this Qianhu World Cluster, the Guardian Faction had mobilized troops from several nearby branch strongholds.
Ye Yunfei used his senses and found that among the Guardian Faction's great army, there were over seventy True Gods in total. Standing at the very forefront of the army were twelve Perfected True Gods. They were a formidable army.
"Master, quickly turn all these Guardian Faction True Gods into your Clones!"
Hu Miao said to Ye Yunfei.
"No need to rush. Let's take it slowly,"
Ye Yunfei replied.
In comparison, the Lingxiao Sect's army had fewer True Gods, only around fifty.
"The Qianhu World Cluster has always been the territory of our Lingxiao Sect. Your Guardian Faction actually dares to try and seize our Sect's territory. You're going too far!"
Inside the Qianhu World Cluster, a white-haired elder stood at the very front of the Lingxiao Sect's army, staring with furious eyes at the Guardian Faction forces outside as he spoke.
His voice, amplified by Divine Power, was like one rolling thunderclap after another, booming outward.
"Our Guardian Faction has never acknowledged that this Qianhu World Cluster belongs to your Lingxiao Sect. If you're smart, get lost right now. Otherwise, wherever the iron hooves of our Guardian Faction army march, we will leave no one alive."
At the front of the Guardian Faction's massive army stood a middle-aged man in fine brocade robes, a contemptuous smile on his face as he spoke slowly.
"I should take advantage of the chaos to subdue a few more Clones."
Ye Yunfei cast a cold smirk at the Guardian Faction True Gods around him. Then, he activated Soul Art of the Samsara Ghost Clan against a nearby Initial True God.
With Ye Yunfei's current level of Soul Power, dealing with an Initial True God was all too simple.
In the next moment, that Initial True God began to feel an intense drowsiness, his head heavy and feet light, wishing he could lie down for a good sleep right away. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late. He fell directly into an unconscious state, standing there vacantly.
"Be careful not to cause too much of a disturbance. A battle is about to begin between these two armies. We don't know if any Heavenly God experts from the Guardian Faction will come, or if they might be lurking nearby. If there are Heavenly Gods here, they might detect the ripples you're making."
Hun Lao warned Ye Yunfei via Sound Transmission.
"I haven't detected any Heavenly Gods around for the moment. But I'll be careful. Also, I've already activated the Jade Scepter. I believe even if a Heavenly God is here, they might not necessarily notice me."
Ye Yunfei answered with a smile.
By this time, Ye Yunfei had already used Soul Purification Art to purify this Initial True God's Soul Body, imprinting it with his own Soul Power mark.
"Another Clone!"
Following that, Ye Yunfei secretly continued to use Soul Arts to purify the Soul Bodies of the True Gods around him.
Ye Yunfei selected his targets in order of increasing strength, starting with Initial True Gods. After a short while, he had already turned all the Initial True Gods in the vicinity into his own Clones. Then, he fixed his gaze on those Intermediate True Gods.
Just at this moment, however, the battle was about to begin.
"Fine. I've already given your Lingxiao Sect an opportunity. Since you are so stubborn and unyielding, don't blame me for being unmerciful.
Charge! Kill all the Lingxiao Sect members. Not a single one remains."
The middle-aged man in brocade robes leading the Guardian Faction slowly raised a golden spear in his hand, pointing it at the Lingxiao Sect's army within the Qianhu World Cluster, declaring loudly.
With this order from the brocade-robed man, the Guardian Faction's army immediately began its assault. An overwhelmingly dense mass of troops, like a tide, surged towards and rushed into the world cluster ahead.
"Repel the enemy!"
Inside the Qianhu World Cluster, the white-haired elder standing at the head of the Lingxiao Sect's army raised his right hand high and swept it down forcefully.
"Charge!"
Behind him, the Lingxiao Sect's army immediately rolled forward.
The battle between the two great armies instantly erupted.
Warriors from both sides collided with each other in the most intense manner, like two cosmic torrents crashing together. A terrifying battle began.
"Judging by the strength of the two sides, the Guardian Faction's army holds the upper hand. So, this battle should be won by the Guardian Faction,"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm observed.
"That was originally the case, but with Master here, the Guardian Faction cannot possibly win. That's because many of the Guardian Faction's True Gods are actually my Master's Clones,"
Hu Miao immediately declared.
Ye Yunfei, mixing in among the Guardian Faction's army, didn't participate in the battle at all. A short while later, he simply concealed his form and used the Jade Scepter to mask his aura. This way, although Ye Yunfei was still within the battlefield, he was essentially invisible.
Ye Yunfei continually targeted one Guardian Faction True God after another, purifying their Soul Bodies and turning them into his Clones.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei instructed his newly acquired Clones to go through the motions of fighting, all while keeping themselves as far back as possible. The Guardian Faction True Gods charging at the very front were all not Ye Yunfei's Clones.
Thus, Ye Yunfei subdued more and more Clones. However, Ye Yunfei soon frowned, because he noticed that as the battle intensified, quite a few True Gods from both sides were starting to perish. This pained Ye Yunfei a bit.
Because in Ye Yunfei's eyes, all those Guardian Faction True Gods were his future Clones.
Right at this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly sensed a familiar presence within the Qianhu World Cluster.
"Ba Yizhou."
Ye Yunfei's heart stirred, and his gaze swept towards a specific spot within the Qianhu World Cluster. Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure; it was indeed Ba Yizhou.
"Liu Ju is here too."
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei saw another familiar figure rushing out from one of the worlds within the Qianhu World Cluster.
This was a female cultivator, with a large group of young Lingxiao Sect disciples following behind her.
It was precisely Liu Ju, whom Ye Yunfei had met before.
"This will simplify matters,"
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
By now, Ba Yizhou and Liu Ju had respectively locked onto a Guardian Faction True God and started fighting fiercely.
Both Ba Yizhou and Liu Ju were now True Gods, and the combat prowess they displayed was quite formidable.
"Go die!"
Ba Yizhou unleashed several attacks in succession, forcing his opponent to retreat repeatedly.
"Brat, so young, yet you fight with such strength!"
The Guardian Faction True God who was forced back wore an expression of astonishment.
"What's the matter? Scared?
Prepare to die!"
Ba Yizhou roared with fury and charged forward again, unleashing another onslaught of attacks.
"You really think you can kill me?"
The Guardian Faction True God angrily replied.
This True God's strength was not weak either, and he fought fiercely against Ba Yizhou.
Suddenly, an expression of pleasant surprise appeared on Ba Yizhou's face, because he had unexpectedly received a Sound Transmission from Ye Yunfei. But soon after, he wore a look of confusion, because Ye Yunfei instructed him to communicate with Lingxiao Sect's high-ranking officers on the battlefield, to have them issue orders not to kill the Guardian Faction's True Gods, but rather to leave them for Ye Yunfei to deal with.
"Brother Ye, you're saying you want to deal with all these Guardian Faction True Gods on the battlefield by yourself?
How can we allow that?
Brother Ye, I'm already very grateful that you've rushed here to face the enemy alongside our Lingxiao Sect. How could we possibly let you handle these Guardian Faction True Gods all alone?
It's too dangerous!
Besides, our Lingxiao Sect isn't afraid of them at all."
Upon receiving Ye Yunfei's Sound Transmission, Ba Yizhou immediately transmitted a reply.
"Brother Ba, please believe me. I can definitely handle these Guardian Faction True Gods. And this is a rare training opportunity for me.
In fact, a portion of the True Gods within this Guardian Faction army have already submitted to me."
Ye Yunfei transmitted back.
While speaking, Ye Yunfei continuously employed his Soul Arts, purifying the Soul Bodies of Guardian Faction True Gods, subjugating one True God after another to become his Clones.
"What?
Brother Ye, you mean some of these Guardian Faction True Gods are already your men?"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Ba Yizhou was somewhat shocked.
"Don't you believe me? Then I'll send a few of my men to fight you. But of course, it won't be for real,"
Ye Yunfei said.
In the next moment, four or five True Gods charged towards Ba Yizhou from different directions. However, they all only pretended to attack briefly before immediately retreating. Furthermore, these several True Gods sent Sound Transmissions to Ba Yizhou, telling him they were on the same side.
"Brother Ye, these Guardian Faction True Gods actually really listen to your commands!
Brother Ye, you are incredible!"
Ba Yizhou was profoundly astonished.
Ultimately, at Ye Yunfei's request, Ba Yizhou began communicating with the senior leaders commanding the Lingxiao Sect forces. The core senior leaders leading Lingxiao Sect's troops, however, didn't believe it initially. It was only after Ye Yunfei invoked the name of the Alliance Army that these Lingxiao Sect core seniors began to take the matter seriously.
"Sir, is it true you are a high-ranking member of the Alliance Army?"
One of Lingxiao Sect's Elders asked Ye Yunfei via Sound Transmission.
The Alliance Army had already made a name for itself in the recent period and could be said to have a formidable reputation in the Sixth Void. After all, there were only a handful of forces within the entire Sixth Void daring enough to challenge the Guardian Faction, and they were simultaneously challenging both the Guardian Faction and the Yin Corpse Hall.
