While the Heavenly Gods from both sides appeared one after another and engaged in fierce combat, the clash between the two massive armies had long since entered an extremely intense state.
At a glance, throughout this vast expanse of the void, huge numbers of people were fighting and killing, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Almost every moment, every instant, within the battlefield, a large number of people perished.
In a large-scale battle of this kind, beings of any level were in constant danger of falling at any time.
Even those Heavenly Gods had to temporarily avoid the fierce clashes of the large-scale battle formations.
At this moment, dozens of these massive battle formations had been deployed by the armies on both sides. These formations were like enormous meat grinders; wherever they went, they annihilated everything in their path.
Only a battle formation could withstand another battle formation!
"Heavens, this is truly terrifying. Such large-scale battles are only something that major powers like the Guardian Faction and the Lingxiao Sect can participate in.
Any ordinary faction, caught on a battlefield of this scale, would probably be completely exterminated in mere moments."
Looking at the frightening scene of such large-scale combat before them, everyone felt a chill of fear in their hearts.
Throughout this boundless void, the cacophony of war cries, the sounds of combat, and the screams of agony filled the air. The glow of blood illuminated billions of miles, corpses were strewn about by the hundreds of thousands, and blood flowed thick enough to float oars.
"We cannot wait any longer. Let's make our move."
At this moment, Ye Yunfei had long since quietly infiltrated the battlefield and had established contact with each one of his Clones.
"Next, we will work together to help me take control of more Clones on this battlefield.
Furthermore, everyone's movements and actions should be kept low-key. Try not to attract the attention of the Heavenly Gods.
In such a large-scale chaotic battlefield, as long as we are careful, even Heavenly Gods won't find it that easy to notice us."
Ye Yunfei sent his thoughts to Huang Shang and the others.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei quietly moved through the battlefield, specifically targeting the True Gods within the Guardian Faction's army. Once one was encountered, Ye Yunfei, Huang Shang, Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hun Lao would all simultaneously strike fast.
Huang Shang, Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hun Lao were responsible for cooperating with Ye Yunfei, using their own methods to suppress those True Gods.
Ye Yunfei would then unleash Soul Arts, attacking and purifying the targets' Soul Bodies before imprinting them with his own Soul Power brand, transforming them into his Clones.
After converting those True Gods into his Clones, Ye Yunfei still ordered them to put on a show by participating in the battle. On the surface, they would be fighting the Lingxiao Sect forces, but in reality, they were secretly working to undermine and target the True Gods of the Guardian Faction.
Likewise, Ye Yunfei's previously controlled Clones also acted the same way; on the surface, they fought vigorously, but in secret, they turned against the Guardian Faction.
The moment Ye Yunfei prepared to take action against a targeted True God, those Clones would immediately move to assist him nearby.
Ye Yunfei had a multitude of Clones. When they all acted together, they were almost always able to control the True Gods Ye Yunfei had his eyes on in an instant, leaving those True Gods with no chance to fight back.
In truth, even without the Clones, Ye Yunfei, Huang Shang, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Hun Lao working together could suppress the True Gods of the Guardian Faction in an instant. Adding the assistance of the Clones only made the outcome even more terrifying.
Often, the True Gods from the Guardian Faction's army would fail to react or understand what was happening before being directly subdued, their Soul Bodies purified, and transformed into Ye Yunfei's Clones.
Because many Heavenly Gods were present on the battlefield, Ye Yunfei acted with extreme caution. He deployed a large number of Clones to assist, striving to subdue those True Gods within the shortest possible time frame.
As time passed, the battle on the battlefield grew increasingly fierce, and the number of Clones Ye Yunfei subjugated also grew steadily larger.
"How good it would be if I could control a few of these large battle formations."
Not long after, Ye Yunfei set his sights on the Guardian Faction's large battle formations. In fact, there were already quite a few of Ye Yunfei's Clones within these formations, which was how Ye Yunfei had gained a relatively good understanding of them.
"If you could turn all the True Gods inside these large battle formations into your Clones, then you would be able to control them."
Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes.
From now on, we'll focus specifically on dealing with the True Gods within these formations. The destructive power of these formations is immense; even Heavenly Gods wouldn't dare collide with them head-on. If we can control a few, they'll be able to unleash considerable might."
Ye Yunfei said.
Then, Ye Yunfei began stealthily moving toward one of the formations.
Because Ye Yunfei had already used a concealment technique to hide his form and utilized the Jade Ruyi to mask his aura, no one on the battlefield noticed him.
Soon, Ye Yunfei arrived at the rear of this formation. It was fiercely engaged with a Lingxiao Sect formation on the opposite side.
Ye Yunfei fixed his eyes on a True God positioned at the very back of the formation.
This was an Intermediate True God.
Surrounding this True God were two or three of Ye Yunfei's Clones.
Ye Yunfei immediately unleashed his Soul Arts, simultaneously deploying several of them, including the secret art of the Samsara Ghost tribe - the Five Ghosts Devouring Soul technique, the Heaven Net and Earth Web technique, Moon Soul Slash, and Soul Sword.
Each of these Soul Arts possessed formidable power.
Because Ye Yunfei possessed two Soul Bodies and dozens of Soul Power planets, his Soul Force Energy was extremely potent, allowing him to deploy multiple Soul Arts simultaneously.
That poor Intermediate True God couldn't even comprehend what had happened before his Soul Body was suddenly surrounded by all kinds of Soul Arts, instantly plunging him into unconsciousness.
Those few Clones of Ye Yunfei immediately discreetly shifted their positions, surrounding the Intermediate True God to prevent any resistance and to stop others from noticing what was happening to him.
Swiftly, Ye Yunfei subdued this Intermediate True God and turned him into one of his Clones.
"What's going on?"
Just as the Intermediate True God's Soul Body was being purified by Ye Yunfei, the Perfected True God leading this large formation suddenly felt something amiss. He sharply turned his gaze toward the Intermediate True God's position.
It turned out that this battle formation not only required each member to continuously channel their energy but also demanded a constant infusion of their Soul Force Energy.
Moreover, the Perfected True God presiding over the formation could monitor changes in the Soul Force Energy of every member at any moment.
From the memories of his Clones, Ye Yunfei had long known about this. So, the moment the Perfected True God's gaze swept over, Ye Yunfei immediately directed the Intermediate True God to resume outputting Soul Force Energy.
"Focus! No one is allowed to slack off at a time like this, or I'll make you regret it profoundly."
The presiding Perfected True God glared at the Intermediate True God whose Soul Body was currently being purified by Ye Yunfei.
He thought this Intermediate True God had suddenly stopped channeling Soul Force Energy into the formation because he wanted to slack off. After all, continuously supplying both regular energy and Soul Force Energy to a battle formation was extremely taxing.
"Master, do you think that guy is getting suspicious?"
Hu Miao spoke up, watching the presiding Perfected True God.
"Since he's already suspicious, we'll make him our first target."
Ye Yunfei coldly snorted.
He then quietly infiltrated the formation. Since a significant number of Ye Yunfei's Clones were present inside, and these Clones were already intimately familiar with the formation's layout, Ye Yunfei could slip in easily.
Ye Yunfei silently navigated through the formation, and soon he was near the presiding Perfected True God.
"Wait a moment. Let me try the Gu Soul Technique first."
Ye Yunfei sent his thoughts to everyone.
Then, under Ye Yunfei's control, several Soul Insects stealthily infiltrated the Perfected True God's Soul Sea.
This Perfected True God was completely focused on presiding over the large formation. Most of his attention was fixed on the opposing Lingxiao Sect formation, and his mind was occupied with strategizing on how to achieve victory. Consequently, when those Soul Insects silently invaded his Soul Sea, he remained utterly unaware.
After entering his Soul Sea, those Soul Insects immediately began to multiply rapidly.
Within the Soul Sea of another living being, Soul Insects could perfectly conceal their auras, and their reproduction rate was astonishingly fast.
Within a short period, dozens more Soul Insects had appeared within the Perfected True God's Soul Sea. Once born, they immediately lurked within various corners of the Soul Sea and began constantly devouring its Soul Force Energy.
As time passed, the number of Soul Insects within the Perfected True God's Soul Sea grew steadily larger.
"What is this? It feels as if something is stealthily devouring my Soul Force Energy?
Why has my Soul Force Energy suddenly dropped? There must be something stealing it from me."
Finally, the Perfected True God began to sense that something was amiss because he realized his Soul Force Energy was gradually diminishing.
"Now's the time."
Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke to Huang Shang and the others.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei simultaneously unleashed several Soul Arts, forcibly invading this Perfected True God's Soul Sea.
Moreover, while unleashing the Soul Arts, Ye Yunfei also deployed mind-force martial techniques.
Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, and Hun Lao also attacked at the same time, applying powerful suppression to this Perfected True God's Soul Body.
"This is bad! Someone is attacking my Soul Body!"
Finally, the Perfected True God reacted. It was certain that someone was targeting his Soul Sea and Soul Body.
In shock, the Perfected True God immediately attempted to fight back. A dozen or so Soul Power type magic treasures simultaneously manifested within his Soul Sea to protect his Soul Body.
"Want to compare magic treasures with me?"
Ye Yunfei coldly chuckled.
The next moment, several dozen Soul Power type magic treasures appeared simultaneously, howling as they plunged into the Perfected True God's Soul Sea.
What followed was a battle between the soul treasures of both sides.
"Someone is secretly attacking me using Soul Arts. It must be an expert from the Lingxiao Sect!"
The Perfected True God was secretly horrified.
"I am presiding over this large battle formation. I can mobilize the Soul Force Energy of every member within it at any time. Therefore, trying to deal with me using Soul Arts won't be easy."
The Perfected True God thought angrily.
Then, with a single thought, he attempted to mobilize the Soul Force Energy of the other members in this large formation to help him against his enemy.
But at that very moment, the several Clones that Ye Yunfei had within this large formation suddenly acted, launching attacks against the surrounding True Gods of the Guardian Faction.
"What are you doing? Why are you attacking your own comrades?"
Within the formation, many True Gods from the Guardian Faction began shouting furiously. Instantly, the entire large battle formation fell into utter chaos.
