"Stop him immediately!"
The other Heavenly Gods charged toward Ye Yunfei with all their might. However, Ye Yunfei stomped on the sea surface repeatedly, rising and falling like a cannonball, closing in on the Heavenly God who was healing with astonishing speed.
"Everyone, save me, quick!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei charging at him, that Heavenly God was scared out of his wits, his soul fled from his body. His lower half had just been blown apart by Ye Yunfei, and his Soul Body had also suffered significant injuries. He knew he stood even less of a chance against Ye Yunfei in this state. He cried out in panic for help while turning to flee.
But the speed Ye Yunfei unleashed at full power was nothing short of terrifying. In an instant, he landed behind this Heavenly God. Then, with both fists punching forward simultaneously, various Soul Arts and Heart Force Martial Skills erupted all at once.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, Hu Miao, and the Blood Clan Clone also attacked at the same moment. Every one of them exerted their utmost strength, unleashing a storm-like assault in the blink of an eye.
This Heavenly God's heart and courage shattered. He summoned every ounce of his strength to flee forward.
Yet, Ye Yunfei's speed was far superior. In less than half a breath, two muffled bangs rang out. Ye Yunfei's fists landed simultaneously on the Heavenly God's body.
The Heavenly God's body stiffened for a moment, then exploded with a bang. This time, his entire form, from head to toe, blew apart into a mist of flesh and blood. Hundreds of Soul Insects, five Spectral Fledglings, and dozens of colossal Soul Force Planets instantly surrounded his Soul Body.
The entire sequence, from Ye Yunfei reaching behind him to attacking and blasting him apart, transpired in the briefest of moments.
"Brat, stop!"
The Heavenly Gods behind them were both astonished and furious at this sight. They ran desperately toward the scene, trying to rescue their comrade.
But the heavily injured Heavenly God was simply no match for Ye Yunfei and his companions. Quickly, his Soul Body was completely suppressed, and the fragments of his shattered body were forcibly refined by the Blood Clan Clone.
The Blood Clan Clone had refined the Origin Essence Blood of many experts during this time, and its power had been steadily increasing. Now, it could refine Origin Essence Blood even at the Heavenly God level with ease.
Ye Yunfei's dozens of Soul Force Planets forcefully dragged the remaining Soul Body of that Heavenly God back into his Soul Sea and began devouring it.
Ye Yunfei knew there wasn't enough time to purify this Heavenly God's Soul Body and turn it into a Clone, as the other Heavenly Gods were about to arrive.
"Excellent! The quality of a Heavenly God's Soul Body is indeed superb!" Huang Shang, who had also devoured a portion of this Heavenly God's Soul Body, said, seemingly still craving more.
"Brat, you'll pay the price!"
The remaining Heavenly Gods charged at Ye Yunfei with all their might. Even before reaching him, they unleashed a barrage of various techniques and secret arts, attacking him from afar.
However, every technique they launched over this sea surface was suppressed by an invisible energy, far less powerful compared to the outside world.
Over these waters, only physical power was suppressed relatively lightly, while divine energy suffered terrible suppression.
Ye Yunfei stomped forcefully on the sea surface, the water beneath his feet instantly cratering downward. With a thunderous boom, he soared into the sky, reaching mid-air.
"Damn it! This brat's physical strength is overwhelming!"
Before the Heavenly Gods could even reach where Ye Yunfei had just been, they saw that he had already leaped out of their encirclement once more, landing on the sea surface far away.
"Finally, we killed a Heavenly God using our own strength. Heavenly Gods aren't so impressive after all," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said excitedly.
"But part of the valuables that guy left behind must be given to me," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm added.
The valuables left behind by a Heavenly God were naturally of significant worth.
"Heavenly Gods are still very strong. We mustn't take them lightly. After all, over this sea, divine energy is suppressed, giving us the advantage. Outside, we might not have killed a Heavenly God so easily," Hun Lao reminded.
The two engagements Ye Yunfei had with this Heavenly God, from fighting to killing him, were actually extremely brief combined. So, he could be considered killed quite effortlessly.
But outside, killing a Heavenly God wouldn't be this simple, as Heavenly Gods were the top-tier experts in the Sixth Void.
"Indeed, I have the advantage here. Since I have the advantage, I shouldn't waste it," Ye Yunfei said, casting a cold gaze at the Heavenly Gods of the Guardian Faction.
"Weren't you clamoring to kill me? I'm right here. Come and get me!" Ye Yunfei said with a faint, icy smile.
The Heavenly Gods stared at Ye Yunfei with complex gazes, falling silent for a moment. Then, one of them slowly spoke, "This brat's strength is indeed peculiar. But we shouldn't fear him. Lü An must have been too complacent and underestimated him, which led to his demise. From now on, we must be cautious. Once we encounter this brat, we go all out, treating him as the most formidable adversary in our lives, holding absolutely nothing back.
"Moreover, we must unite. Once anyone engages with that brat, the others must immediately rush to assist. I believe if we unite, we can surely kill this brat. I refuse to believe that over a dozen Heavenly Gods can't deal with one junior!"
Having witnessed Ye Yunfei killing their companion firsthand, their hearts were filled with wariness toward him. However, they were Heavenly Gods, and there were over a dozen of them here. So, while wary, it wasn't enough to make them retreat or flee.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment, over a dozen Heavenly Gods ran at extreme speed across the sea surface.
As they ran, they shattered the colossal waves blocking their path. Two or three Heavenly God-level magic treasures hovered around each Heavenly God, unleashing waves of profound power.
"Come at me, then," Ye Yunfei watched the dozen-odd Heavenly Gods sweeping toward him, a cold smile appearing on his face.
At this moment, the dozens of Soul Force Planets in Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea had completely devoured the Soul Body of the Heavenly God he just killed. He had absorbed half of the Soul Body's energy and obtained his memories.
Naturally, all the treasures and items left behind by that Heavenly God had also fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands.
Ye Yunfei quickly sorted through the Heavenly God's memories. Now, he had a clearer understanding of these Heavenly Gods.
"Our next target is that guy," Ye Yunfei said, casting a glance at one particular Heavenly God and transmitting a message to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and the others.
Based on the memories of the deceased Heavenly God, Ye Yunfei had his eyes set on the weakest among the group.
"Brat, die!"
The Heavenly God targeted by Ye Yunfei felt his gaze upon him. In shock and towering rage, he drew a massive bow, pulling the string taut and aiming at Ye Yunfei.
Zing! Zing! Zing!
Five or six long arrows were loosed in succession, skimming the sea surface as they shot toward Ye Yunfei's body.
Without dodging or evading, Ye Yunfei retaliated with punches.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
All the incoming arrows were effortlessly knocked aside by Ye Yunfei. Facing the dozen-odd Heavenly Gods surging toward him, Ye Yunfei turned and fled.
"Where do you think you're escaping to?" The dozen-odd Heavenly Gods chased relentlessly.
As Ye Yunfei and these Heavenly Gods raced swiftly across the sea, dark shadows suddenly emerged in the seawater in the distance, stealthily and quickly gliding beneath the surface.
After pursuing for some time, a distance gradually opened between the Heavenly Gods themselves, as Ye Yunfei's speed was just too fast.
Following an intense chase over a distance, some Heavenly Gods who possessed greater speed managed to stay close behind Ye Yunfei. Others, whose movement techniques and speed were relatively inferior, gradually fell behind.
This included the Heavenly God who had shot arrows at Ye Yunfei earlier. Although his archery was formidable, his overall strength—especially his movement speed—was somewhat weaker compared to his talented counterparts.
"This is the chance!" Sensing the situation among the Heavenly Gods behind him, Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei, who had been in a state of extreme speed, came to an abrupt halt.
"Brat, there's nowhere to run now!"
The Heavenly Gods behind saw Ye Yunfei stop and immediately increased their speed, charging toward him while roaring out.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei stomped forcefully on the sea surface. With a boom, he shot into the sky like a cannonball out of its barrel, reaching mid-air. Then, he leaped backward toward the sea surface behind him.
"Damnation, stop him!" The Heavenly Gods, seeing this, were absolutely furious. Earlier, Ye Yunfei had used precisely this method time and again to leap out of their encirclement.
"Brat, did you think you're the only one who can jump over this sea?" a Heavenly God roared.
Then, he too stomped with force on the sea surface, soaring into the sky and smashing toward Ye Yunfei. Following that, several other Heavenly Gods imitated him, exerting their full strength to jump high into the air, targeting Ye Yunfei.
However, they soon felt a horrifyingly powerful energy of suppression tumbling down from the sky, smothering them. The heights they reached were far inferior to Ye Yunfei's.
With several bangs, these leaping Heavenly Gods were all crushed by the terrifying oppressive energy in the sky and fell back onto the sea surface.
"Damn it! How can that brat jump so high?!" These Heavenly Gods were shocked inwardly.
Right then, Ye Yunfei charged toward the Heavenly God at the very rear with astonishing speed.
"Not good!" Seeing this, the other Heavenly Gods immediately sensed something amiss. They knew exactly what Ye Yunfei intended to do.
"Brat, you deserve death!"
The Heavenly God left at the very back saw Ye Yunfei diving toward him from the sky at extreme speed and turned pale with fright, spinning around to flee.
Compared to the Heavenly God slain by Ye Yunfei moments ago, his strength wasn't much different; in fact, he was perhaps slightly weaker. He knew he definitely wasn't Ye Yunfei's match and wished only to escape in his panic.
Yet, Ye Yunfei's speed was far greater. With a boom, he landed right behind him.
Then Ye Yunfei, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, Hu Miao, Hun Lao, the Blood Clan Clone, and the Nine Divine Beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel launched their attacks simultaneously.
"Ah!
Everyone, save me, quick! This brat's strength is too terrifying!"
This Heavenly God immediately felt immense pressure. Facing the storm-like attack from Ye Yunfei and his companions, he was flustered, utterly unable to figure out where to begin defending.
