During this time, as the number of branch strongholds under Ye Yunfei's control continued to increase, he selected some of the most impressive True Gods and Virtual Gods from among them to join the Alliance Army's ranks. Consequently, the size of the forces led by Ye Yunfei had grown significantly.
Of course, a considerable portion consisted of Ye Yunfei's own clones.
These clones possessed independent physical bodies as well as Soul Bodies, allowing them to cultivate and achieve breakthroughs on their own.
Ye Yunfei controlled these clones—which had been purified of their original Soul Body memories—using nothing but a single imprint of his Soul Power. The original close confidants and subordinates of these clones had also followed them into the Alliance Army.
Since each clone was either a Virtual God or a True God, they naturally had their own entourage of trusted followers or disciples.
"Who goes there?"
As Ye Yunfei led the Alliance Army in a grand procession into the Heixuan Sect's headquarters, they immediately attracted the sect's attention. A large group of Heixuan Sect members charged out from within the headquarters.
"Attack! Kill your way inside!"
Ye Yunfei waved his hand and issued the command.
Instantly, the Alliance Army's senior members charged at the forefront, leading the troops forward in a ferocious assault.
With Ye Yunfei personally overseeing the battle, these Alliance Army leaders feared nothing, focusing solely on fighting valiantly against the enemy.
Ye Yunfei, meanwhile, placed his hands behind his back and strode with large steps into the cluster of worlds ahead.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Formation after formation emerged in an endless stream, blocking Ye Yunfei's path.
These formations were quite high-level, specifically set up to protect the Heixuan Sect headquarters.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, tossing out a large handful of formation flags.
These were Formation-Breaking Flags Ye Yunfei had refined not long ago.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Formation after formation was destroyed one after another. Not long ago, during his seclusion, Ye Yunfei had studied several jade slips containing ancient formation inheritances. His harvest had been substantial, significantly raising his skill in formations.
These Formation-Breaking Flags refined by Ye Yunfei dismantled the formations protecting the Heixuan Sect headquarters with minimal effort. Ye Yunfei strode forward, encountering no obstacles.
"Enemy attack!"
By this time, panicked shouts were already ringing out within the Heixuan Sect headquarters.
"Who dares to cause trouble at our Heixuan Sect?!"
Immediately, several dozen Heixuan Sect True Gods emerged, charging out.
Ye Yunfei extended his hand, his palm expanding continuously like a massive cloud rolling forward. It emanated terrifying physical strength, instantly suppressing all several dozen True Gods right where they stood.
Then, like lightning, Ye Yunfei's hand shot into the soul seas of each True God, grabbing and extracting their Soul Bodies one by one.
Afterward, Ye Yunfei either devoured these Soul Bodies or purified them to become another one of his clones.
"Too terrifying!"
The other Heixuan Sect members witnessing Ye Yunfei suppress dozens of True Gods with a single palm trembled in fear.
"Brat, who are you?"
In the distance, three Heavenly Gods appeared, their expressions extremely grim. Their gazes instantly locked onto Ye Yunfei.
The combat prowess Ye Yunfei had just displayed was truly horrifying—instantly suppressing dozens of True Gods. Such power was beyond the capability of an ordinary Heavenly God.
"The number of Heavenly Gods in the Heixuan Sect is only about five or six, right?" Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Correct. The Heixuan Sect has a total of seven Heavenly Gods.
Three of them are veteran Heavenly Gods who achieved that realm long ago. The other four only broke through recently with the help of the Guardian Faction," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Even as Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao conversed, the three Heavenly Gods in the distance swiftly charged towards Ye Yunfei.
The Heixuan Sect had seven Heavenly Gods in total. Three were stationed at the headquarters, while the other four had already led a force to the Lingxiao Sect headquarters to join the Guardian Faction's army in dealing with the Lingxiao Sect.
"You are the Alliance Army Commander!"
At this moment, the three Heixuan Sect Heavenly Gods suddenly recognized Ye Yunfei.
In fact, Ye Yunfei's appearance and Soul Body aura had long been widely circulated throughout the Sixth Void. Ye Yunfei wasn't concealing his true aura now, so these three Heavenly Gods before him quickly identified him.
"Damn it!
That little scourge actually came to our Heixuan Sect."
Upon recognizing Ye Yunfei, the three Heixuan Sect Heavenly Gods were equal parts fear and anger.
Tales of Ye Yunfei's exploits had long been circulating throughout the entire Sixth Void. Everyone knew Ye Yunfei possessed the strength to fight Heavenly Gods and had even killed quite a few. Therefore, facing Ye Yunfei, the three Heixuan Sect Heavenly Gods felt a chill in their hearts.
"Correct. I am the Alliance Army Commander," Ye Yunfei nodded, his tone cold.
"Our Heixuan Sect has no grudge with your Alliance Army. Why have you come to our sect and attacked our people?" one of the Heixuan Sect Heavenly Gods mustered his courage and said angrily.
At this moment, the Alliance Army's senior members were leading the troops in a fierce battle against the Heixuan Sect forces.
"I have no direct grievance with your Heixuan Sect, but I do have a grievance with the Guardian Faction.
So enough idle talk. Today marks the day your Heixuan Sect perishes."
Ye Yunfei's voice was icy. Having spoken, his figure flashed as he strode towards one of the Heavenly Gods.
"Commander Ye, I know your strength is formidable. But our Heixuan Sect is an established major power in the Sixth Void, with a lineage stretching back across untold ages. We are not so easy to destroy.
I advise you not to push your luck and force our hand.
If you push the Heixuan Sect into a corner, we will have no choice but to fight you with our lives on the line," that Heavenly God said, his face paling as he saw Ye Yunfei approaching. He spoke, gritting his teeth.
"With your level of strength, you lack both the qualification and the opportunity to stake your lives before me."
Ye Yunfei replied with a tone of disdain. Then, his figure blurred as he appeared right in front of that Heavenly God.
This Heavenly God was a veteran of the Heixuan Sect, having broken through to that realm long ago. His power was quite formidable, accumulated over a vast stretch of time.
With a *boom*, eighteen black long blades shot out from within his body.
These eighteen black long blades constituted a single set of magical treasures. Moreover, they formed a treasure battle formation. What was even rarer was that each of these eighteen black blades was a Deity-level treasure, equivalent to eighteen Deity-level artifacts.
This set of treasures was this Heavenly God's ultimate trump card, not lightly deployed. But facing Ye Yunfei, he didn't hesitate for a moment, unleashing it immediately.
"Let's attack together! This brat is no simple foe. Fighting alone, we have no chance of defeating him. Only by joining forces do we have any possibility of victory."
As this Heavenly God released the eighteen black blades, he sent a sound transmission to the other two Heixuan Sect Heavenly Gods. The other two gritted their teeth, simultaneously activating movement techniques to charge at Ye Yunfei from left and right.
Three Heavenly Gods attacked together, unleashing three waves of Heavenly God-level energy to suppress Ye Yunfei.
Facing the combined offensive of three Heavenly Gods, Ye Yunfei paid it no mind. He gave a cold laugh, then threw a mighty fist forward.
Vast, rolling physical strength poured forth from his fist. This terrifying physical strength then combined with the spatial energy and spatial laws in the surrounding space, forming mysterious, arcane runes.
These arcane runes possessed a terrifying space-sealing effect. The three Heavenly Gods suddenly found their bodies imprisoned by the surrounding space. Unable to move at all, they stood rooted as countless arcane runes whirled and danced around them.
"What kind of fist technique is this?
It seems to be executed using physical strength, yet it contains incredibly profound spatial cultivation. It appears to be a fist technique that combines physical power with spatial energy," the three Heavenly Gods thought, utterly shocked as they watched Ye Yunfei's fist roll toward them.
"This is that newly cultivated Space-Sealing Fist, isn't it?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei suppress three Heavenly Gods with a single punch, Hun Lao couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Correct.
This is an inheritance from the Great Strength Demon God I recently cultivated—the Space-Sealing Fist. This fist technique requires both powerful physical strength and profound spatial cultivation.
While cultivating it, I sought guidance from you and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm on spatial matters on numerous occasions," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
Not long ago, during his seclusion within the Phantom Tower, whenever Ye Yunfei encountered difficult problems related to space while cultivating this Space-Sealing Fist, he would immediately seek advice from Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm might not necessarily be stronger than Ye Yunfei overall, but their respective races were unique in their attainments in spatial cultivation. In certain aspects, even Ye Yunfei could not match them.
"How is this possible?
All three of us are veteran Heavenly Gods. How can we be sealed by a single punch from this brat, unable to even move?"
The three Heixuan Sect Heavenly Gods faces changed wildly.
They struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraining force of Ye Yunfei's fist energy. But the power of the Space-Sealing Fist Ye Yunfei deployed was too terrifying. They simply couldn't break free in such a short time.
How fast was Ye Yunfei's speed? How rich was his combat experience? After suppressing these three Heixuan Sect Heavenly Gods with the Space-Sealing Fist, he had already shot his hands out like lightning, forcibly wrenching their Soul Bodies out from their soul seas one by one. He then sealed their Soul Bodies and physical bodies separately.
Thus, three Heixuan Sect Heavenly Gods were subdued by Ye Yunfei in a single move, utterly powerless to fight back.
Seeing Ye Yunfei instantly defeat the three Heixuan Sect Heavenly Gods, the other Alliance Army leaders were greatly emboldened. As if injected with chicken blood, they led the Alliance Army troops in hunting down Heixuan Sect members throughout the Heixuan Sect headquarters.
