The three old ancestors of the Earth Demon Clan watched the unfolding situation with both fury and helplessness.
“Guardian Faction, you beasts just wait! If I ever get the chance in the future, I will definitely have my revenge!”
One of the ancestors gritted his teeth as he spoke.
“We should hurry and leave now. If we wait any longer, it’ll be too late.”
Another ancestor beside him sighed and spoke.
At this moment, the three old ancestors of the Earth Demon Clan had already led a group of their clansmen to gather around several Teleportation Earth Formations and teleportation arrays, continuously teleporting away.
“Issue the order: investigate the destination locations at the other ends of these Teleportation Earth Formations immediately. Once discovered, carry out an ambush and slaughter without delay.”
Seeing that many living beings on the Xuanhuang Continent had already escaped through the Teleportation Earth Formations and teleportation arrays, the three Heavenly Gods of the Guardian Faction all turned grim-faced and immediately issued a major command.
“No matter where they flee to, as long as they remain within the Sixth Void, they will absolutely not escape death. Because our Guardian Faction will become the masters of this void! The life and death of all living beings in this void will be decided by our Guardian Faction.”
One of the Heavenly Gods spoke in an icy, unfeeling voice.
His cold words, broadcast openly and without restraint, rolled through the sky above the continent like the heavens themselves venting their wrath, causing every living being on the continent to tremble with fear.
Though the high command of the Alliance Army was filled with anger and unwillingness, they were powerless to refute him, for the Guardian Faction indeed possessed such strength.
“You are mistaken.”
Suddenly, a calm voice rang out, coming from not far behind the three Heavenly Gods.
“Who is there?”
Hearing this voice, the three Heavenly Gods instantly changed expressions. For someone to have approached behind them without their notice, despite their strength, indicated that this newcomer was extraordinary.
The three Heavenly Gods turned around simultaneously, their gazes falling upon a rather ordinary-looking young man.
“It’s Young Master Ye!”
On the continent, all the high command of the Alliance Army cried out in pleasant surprise.
“It’s Young Master Ye’s main body, not a clone!”
In the next moment, several high-ranking members with keen perception and sharp senses realized that it was not one of Ye Yunfei’s clones, but his main body.
“Wonderful! Young Master Ye’s main body has finally returned safely.”
Once they confirmed it was Ye Yunfei’s main body, all the high command of the Alliance Army let out a sigh of relief.
For some time, the high command of the Alliance Army had been constantly following news of Ye Yunfei. Not long ago, they had even discussed sending a large force to the Ancient Desolate Sea to assist him. Had the Xuanhuang Continent not been continuously attacked by the Guardian Faction’s army, the Alliance Army would have dispatched troops to the Ancient Desolate Sea long ago. Never did they expect Ye Yunfei’s main body to suddenly return now.
“You are…”
At first glance, the three Heavenly Gods did not recognize Ye Yunfei, studying him with questioning eyes.
They understood that for this young man to have silently approached behind them without being detected, his strength was certainly extraordinary, so they did not underestimate him.
“It’s him! I recognize him! He is the kid the old Wizard tasked us to hunt down not long ago, who ended up fleeing into the Ancient Desolate Sea. But shouldn’t he still be inside the Ancient Desolate Sea? Why has he appeared here?”
Soon, one of the Heavenly Gods recognized Ye Yunfei, speaking with shock.
“So it’s him!”
The other two Heavenly Gods also wore expressions of astonishment.
“Young Master Ye, our Xuanhuang Continent is suffering an invasion by the Guardian Faction’s army. These three are all Heavenly Gods from the Guardian Faction, with formidable strength. Please be careful.”
At this time, the high command of the Alliance Army soared into the air, arriving behind Ye Yunfei. Several members sent him messages of caution.
Within the Alliance Army, Ye Yunfei held the absolute core position. Now that Ye Yunfei’s main body had returned, the Alliance Army’s high command immediately felt they had regained their backbone. Unafraid even in the face of three Heavenly Gods, they all gathered behind Ye Yunfei.
“They are merely three Heavenly Gods. There’s no need for concern, everyone.”
Ye Yunfei stared coldly at the three Heavenly Gods, his tone scornful.
“Kid, you are far too arrogant. You’re just a mere Deity-level cultivator—do you really think you’re something extraordinary?”
Hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, the three Heavenly Gods instantly grew furious.
“This kid is too insolent! Let me take him down. Bringing him back to hand over to the old Wizard would certainly be a great achievement.”
One of the Heavenly Gods, seeing Ye Yunfei’s utterly calm, even disdainful expression, could no longer control the surge of rage in his heart. He took a step forward, moving toward Ye Yunfei.
Boom…
An energy pressure at the Heavenly God level surged towards Ye Yunfei like a tidal wave. The Alliance Army’s high command behind him were immediately forced to retreat step by step, unable to stand their ground.
Ye Yunfei let out a cold snort and released a small amount of his physical strength, instantly blocking the energy unleashed by this Heavenly God. The Alliance Army’s high command immediately felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted.
“Kid, prepare to die!”
Seeing Ye Yunfei actually withstand his energy pressure, that Heavenly God’s expression darkened slightly. However, as a Heavenly God, he could not possibly be afraid of a mere junior at the Deity level.
With a boom, he suddenly thrust out a palm. It continuously expanded, clawing toward Ye Yunfei.
The gigantic palm grew ever larger, like a mass of black, pressing clouds overwhelming the sky and earth.
Ye Yunfei stood there, unmoving, coldly observing the approaching palm of the Heavenly God.
“Young Master Ye, be careful!”
The Alliance Army’s high command all called out warnings. After all, their opponent was a Heavenly God.
But Ye Yunfei paid no heed. Only when the Heavenly God’s palm had extended directly above his head did Ye Yunfei suddenly act. He threw out a single, gentle punch.
Bang! Before the Heavenly God could even react, his palm and entire arm burst apart like a popped bubble, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
If Huang Shang had not urgently reminded him in time, Ye Yunfei’s punch would have utterly exploded the Heavenly God’s entire body.
Ye Yunfei reached out and grabbed, reaching straight into his spiritual sea. He seized the Heavenly God’s Soul Body in his palm and directly sealed it away.
Faced with such an absolute, overwhelming force, the Heavenly God felt completely unable to resist.
“We can’t waste this fellow’s corpse.”
Huang Shang appeared beside Ye Yunfei, excitedly storing away the Heavenly God’s fleshly body.
“Leave the army of the Guardian Faction down below to me. I need their corpses.”
Huang Shang’s gaze swept over the Guardian Faction’s forces, which had already landed on the Xuanhuang Continent. His eyes shining brightly, he spoke.
As his voice faded, he transformed into a gust of ghostly wind, sweeping toward the Guardian Faction’s troops on the continent. Instantly, the continent was filled with yin winds, thick ghostly mists billowed, wall after wall of hauntings manifested one after another, and countless raging spirits and vengeful souls wandered everywhere.
The stronger his Corpse Path cultivation grew, the more corpses Huang Shang required.
“How is this possible?”
The remaining two Heavenly Gods, seeing how Ye Yunfei had effortlessly taken down their companion with a single casual move, were dumbstruck. They simply could not believe it and remained stunned for quite some time.
“Now it’s your turn.”
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
With just two Heavenly Gods at such an ordinary level of strength, Ye Yunfei did not wish to waste time.
Boom! Boom!
Two punches were thrown out in rapid succession. A power terrifying to the extreme instantly suppressed the two Heavenly Gods. They could not even escape; they could only stand there, their faces filled with terror, watching helplessly as Ye Yunfei’s fists landed on their shoulders.
However, Ye Yunfei did not shatter their bodies. Instead, he used his fearsome power to suppress their fleshly forms in an instant, rendering them immobile. Then he reached into their spiritual seas, directly seizing their souls, leaving only two headless corpses standing there.
Just like that, in an extremely short amount of time, Ye Yunfei had effortlessly dealt with these three Heavenly Gods.
“Now, move out. Kill every single invading enemy. Don’t let a single one escape.”
Ye Yunfei turned his head to look at the Alliance Army’s high command, who were already completely dumbfounded. A smile appeared on his face as he spoke.
“Young Master Ye, have you already… eliminated those three Heavenly Gods?”
The Alliance Army’s high command simply couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed. For them, instantly killing three Heavenly Gods was far too fantastical.
“Yes. Just three Heavenly Gods—they are nothing much. Daring to violate our Alliance Army was the fate they deserved.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Everyone, it seems Young Master Ye’s current strength has reached a level we cannot even imagine! With Young Master Ye here, our Alliance Army need not fear the Guardian Faction!”
Only after a moment did the Alliance Army’s high command truly process what had happened. They all understood that Ye Yunfei’s strength must have undergone a tremendous leap. One of the Earth Demon Clan’s old ancestors suppressed the astonishment in his heart and sent a message to the other high-ranking members.
All the high command wore expressions of ecstatic joy.
The strength Ye Yunfei had just displayed gave all the Alliance Army’s high command newfound hope.
