"Ah! Stop!
Brat! You stop right now!
You actually dare to devour my Soul Body!
Damnit! If you do this, our Guardian Faction will never let you go!"
This Initial Heavenly God discovered that Ye Yunfei was devouring his Soul Body and was simultaneously shocked and furious, roaring angrily.
"Stop!"
Finally, two or three Heavenly Gods from the Guardian Faction in the distance temporarily broke free from their opponents' obstructions and charged toward Ye Yunfei's location, wanting to intervene.
"Where do you think you're going?"
However, the Heavenly Gods from the Lingxiao Sect who were battling them simply wouldn't let them pass, closely pursuing them and unleashing various techniques and secret arts to block their way.
Ye Yunfei stomped his foot, and a large batch of pre-arranged Formations and earth formations continuously emerged, blocking those Guardian Faction Heavenly Gods in the distance.
"Let's go."
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's dozens of Soul Power stars had already devoured over half of that Initial Heavenly God's Soul Body, dragging the remaining portion back into Ye Yunfei's own Soul Body to continue the consumption.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei's Blood Clan Clone had also already swallowed over half of this Initial Heavenly God's blood essence.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several large-scale teleportation Formations at Ye Yunfei's feet erupted simultaneously. Wave after wave of powerful teleportation energy enveloped Ye Yunfei's body, tore through space, and instantly teleported him away.
"Hahaha...
So satisfying! We took out a Heavenly God. I get a share of the wealth this guy left behind too."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm laughed heartily.
All the items left behind by that Initial Heavenly God had fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands. The personal fortune of a Heavenly God was naturally extremely substantial, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had already had his eye on it.
"Don't worry, you can take anything that's useful to you."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
At this time, Ye Yunfei utilized his space teleportation token and combined it with his own movement technique to continuously distance himself from the previous location.
Ye Yunfei knew that those Heavenly Gods from the Guardian Faction were surely sensing and tracking his aura at this moment, and were even divining his identity and whereabouts. Therefore, Ye Yunfei activated his stealth secret art to conceal himself, and also used the Jade Ruyi to mask his aura.
He kept deploying batches of Formations specifically designed to prevent tracking, which could erase the traces of his own aura.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei had completely left the earlier location and entered an inconspicuous cluster of worlds within the Eighth Void.
"The Lingxiao Sect just achieved victory. The Guardian Faction suffered heavy losses in this battle. They probably won't launch a counterattack immediately in the short term."
Ye Yunfei entered one of the Small Worlds within this cluster, set up a spatial formation, then entered the Phantom Tower and sat down cross-legged, speaking softly.
"The Guardian Faction indeed suffered heavy losses this time. They even lost a Heavenly God. If the Guardian Faction intends to retaliate, they will definitely regroup and fully prepare before making a move."
Hun Lao chimed in.
"I'll go into seclusion for a while to cultivate first."
Ye Yunfei nodded, then brought out a large batch of cultivation resources and entered a state of cultivation.
At this moment, inside Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, the Soul Body of that Initial Heavenly God had not yet been completely devoured. It constantly emitted miserable and angry roars that echoed within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Brat! Who the hell are you?
How dare you treat me like this! I am a Heavenly God of the Guardian Faction! If you dare kill me, the Guardian Faction will never let you off.
Aren't you afraid of provoking a manhunt from our Guardian Faction?
Let me be honest with you, our Guardian Faction's true power is far greater than what you've seen so far.
Release me now, and perhaps you might still gain our Guardian Faction's forgiveness."
In his state of terror and rage, this Initial Heavenly God roared desperately, making threats without thinking.
However, Ye Yunfei simply ignored him. Dozens of Soul Power planets surrounded his fragmented Soul Body, devouring it wildly.
"This... this should be an inherited technique of the Soul Race.
I know now! You are from the Soul Race.
You, a member of the Soul Race, dare to commit crimes in the Chaotic Void Sea. Aren't you afraid of inviting disaster upon yourself?"
Suddenly, this Initial Heavenly God realized that the Soul Force Star Method Ye Yunfei was using resembled an inherited technique of the Soul Race, and immediately started shouting again.
Yet, Ye Yunfei still paid him no mind. Not long after, this Initial Heavenly God's Soul Body was completely devoured by Ye Yunfei.
Devouring the Soul Body of a Initial Heavenly God brought Ye Yunfei tremendous benefits.
All the Soul Body energy and Soul Power energy contained within this Initial Heavenly God's Soul Body were refined, absorbed, and transformed into Ye Yunfei's own Soul Power energy. Furthermore, Ye Yunfei felt that the quality of his own Soul Body had improved significantly.
More importantly, Ye Yunfei obtained most of that Initial Heavenly God's memories.
In the following period, while cultivating, Ye Yunfei sorted through that Initial Heavenly God's memories. He acquired many of his techniques and secret arts, various insights and experiences regarding cultivation, various comprehensions of the Great Dao laws, and then learned a great deal about the situation of the Guardian Faction in the Sixth Void from his memories.
Devouring a living being's Soul Body using the Soul Force Star Method allowed one to obtain most of the target's memories, but not all. During the process of devouring, some Soul Body energy was inevitably wasted.
"The Guardian Faction's strength is indeed formidable. Even just in the Sixth Void, the Guardian Faction possesses a large number of Heavenly Gods."
After sorting through that Initial Heavenly God's memories, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but murmur softly.
"However, no matter how strong the Guardian Faction is, since they have already become enemies, it's a life-and-death struggle from now on. I will never back down."
Ye Yunfei took a deep breath and then slowly spoke again.
"This Initial Heavenly God cultivated and comprehended far more Great Dao laws than I do. Since I have obtained his memories, I should properly cultivate and contemplate those Great Dao laws he once mastered."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Then, Ye Yunfei began cultivating the various Great Dao laws that the Initial Heavenly God had cultivated, based on his memories.
Furthermore, this Initial Heavenly God possessed some other high-level techniques and secret arts, which Ye Yunfei naturally cultivated as well.
Having two Soul Bodies and dozens of Soul Power planets meant that every time Ye Yunfei entered seclusion, he would cultivate several techniques and secret arts simultaneously.
Unconsciously, three years passed within the Phantom Tower.
After three years, Ye Yunfei ended his seclusion.
"My cultivation regarding the Great Dao laws has seen a tremendous improvement now."
Ye Yunfei said softly.
Over these three years, Ye Yunfei thoroughly contemplated and cultivated all the various insights and experiences related to the Great Dao laws left in the Initial Heavenly God's memories, as well as some techniques and secret arts connected to the Great Dao laws.
Additionally, he cultivated several other techniques and secret arts that the Initial Heavenly God was proficient in.
"Why don't we distribute the wealth that guy left behind?"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly spoke up.
"Fine, let's distribute it now."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"You're just too greedy for wealth."
Hu Miao curled her lip.
Ye Yunfei took out over a dozen spatial rings and began inspecting them one by one.
These dozens of spatial rings contained an astonishing amount of cultivation resources, including elixirs, medicinal herbs, energy crystals, and various rare treasures of heaven and earth.
Every item deemed worthy of collection by a Heavenly God was, of course, extremely precious.
There was also a pile of magical treasures, among which over ten were Heavenly God-level treasures.
"Hmm? There are quite a few talismans."
Suddenly, in one corner of one of the spatial rings, Ye Yunfei discovered several stacks of talismans. He inspected them and found they had different functions.
Some were for attack, some for defense, some for isolating auras, and many were specifically for support.
For example, some aided movement speed or enhanced the power of attacks.
"Using talismans is more convenient than using magical treasures. Generally, their power is also greater. In battle, you simply toss them out, and they automatically activate various energies to engage the enemy.
Magical treasures are different; they require the user to activate them with their own energy, and continuous transmission of energy is needed to maintain their power during use.
Talismans themselves contain extremely powerful energies, so during a certain period in ancient times, talismans were more popular than magical treasures because they were simple, convenient, and powerful.
However, the downside of talismans is their limited uses. Once the energy stored within them is consumed, they become unusable.
In that aspect, magical treasures have the advantage—they can be used continuously unless damaged."
Hun Lao explained to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed. Talismans and magical treasures each have their pros and cons."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"It's just unfortunate that the number of talisman masters capable of creating talismans in the world is extremely rare, and they may even be extinct.
Many of the talismans we see today are relics passed down from ancient times. I didn't expect this fellow to have collected so many."
Hun Lao added.
"Now these talismans all belong to us."
"Master, I found a few talismans related to my Illusion Art."
Hu Miao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Right. You can have these."
Ye Yunfei took out several talismans and handed them to Hu Miao.
These talismans emitted a strong aura of illusion arts, clearly related to illusion techniques.
Then, based on the characteristics of these talismans, Ye Yunfei divided up the rest.
Ye Yunfei also kept a small portion for himself that he fancied.
"I wonder if my current physical body quality is sufficient to refine and fuse with Heavenly God-level treasures?
Regardless, I should give it a try."
Looking at the over ten Heavenly God-level magical treasures, Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Next, Ye Yunfei distributed the items within the over ten spatial rings left behind by the Initial Heavenly God.
"The collection of a Heavenly God is truly remarkable. These cultivation resources are enough for my bloodline to make a breakthrough."
After receiving a batch of cultivation resources and treasures, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said excitedly.
"Your bloodline is about to break through again?"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I be so anxious for you to give me a share of these cultivation resources?"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
Then he took those cultivation resources to enter seclusion.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei took out one Heavenly God-level magical treasure and began attempting fusion.
Unconsciously, another year passed within the Phantom Tower.
One year later.
"Success!
I've finally fused with a Heavenly God-level treasure!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed in excitement.
"In that case, I'll fuse with all these over ten Heavenly God-level treasures next.
Once that's done, I'll initially possess Heavenly God-level combat power. Combined with my Soul Power energy, when I encounter Initial Heavenly Gods again, I'll be able to handle them even more easily."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
