"Then I'll kill you all first, and then deal with that old fellow."
Ye Yunfei's expression darkened. With a single thought, he immediately activated a Soul Power martial technique.
"Ah... Why have these strange bugs suddenly appeared in my Soul Sea?"
Two or three Heavenly Gods screamed simultaneously, discovering that thousands of bizarre insects had abruptly manifested within their Soul Seas. The moment these insects barged in, they began devouring their Soul Force Energy and besieging their Soul Bodies.
"What the hell are these five things? Get out!"
Five vicious-looking imps, emitting terrifying auras, suddenly appeared within the Soul Sea of one Initial Heavenly God. The five little fiends shrieked and pounced toward his Soul Body.
In addition to these five imps, several thousand soul insects buzzed their wings, filling the space with a droning sound as they instantly surrounded this Initial Heavenly God's Soul Body.
"Leader, save me quickly!"
Terrified, the Initial Heavenly God immediately mobilized all his Soul Force Energy to strike against the five imps and the thousands of soul insects. At the same time, he activated two Soul Force Energy type magical treasures to protect his Soul Body.
Given Ye Yunfei's current level of Soul Power, employing a Soul Power martial technique against a Initial Heavenly God was exceedingly easy.
The Initial Heavenly God instantly lost all ability to resist and began emitting miserable shrieks.
The other Heavenly Gods nearby also wore horrified expressions, their faces contorted in pain.
"Why has a giant net suddenly appeared in my Soul Sea? I get it! This is a Soul Power martial technique. It must be that kid's doing!"
One Heavenly God discovered an enormous net materializing within his Soul Sea, spreading out and casting toward his Soul Body like heaven and earth falling upon him. A sense of immense crisis made him cry out in shock.
"Master, strike now and finish off this brat!"
Seeing this scene, the Leader immediately shouted.
*Crack!*
The next moment, a blood-red blade aura appeared behind Ye Yunfei, instantly splitting space as if slicing through tofu.
This blood-red blade aura dripped with fresh blood and carried terrifying, baleful energy as it slashed toward Ye Yunfei's back.
Ye Yunfei had been waiting for this. He punched backward, a gauntlet materializing around his fist.
This gauntlet was a Heavenly God-level magical treasure. Its benefit was that while it covered the fist, it didn't restrict the power of fist techniques; on the contrary, it enhanced them. Any treasure that Ye Yunfei deemed worthy of using was naturally no simple item.
*Clang!*
Ye Yunfei's gauntleted fist collided with the blood-red blade aura.
To his surprise, the gauntlet on his fist was cleanly sliced in two by the blade.
However, after cleaving through the gauntlet, the long blade's power seemed to diminish slightly. Then it remained locked in a stalemate with Ye Yunfei's fist, neither advancing nor retreating.
"I sensed it! It really is a Remnant Soul! He's hiding within the space behind this blade aura!"
Huang Shang immediately sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei.
As a ghost cultivator, he was highly sensitive to various Remnant Souls.
"Let me deal with him!" Huang Shang declared.
Immediately, over a hundred vicious ghosts and wronged spirits appeared simultaneously up ahead. Forming a ghost formation, they directly burrowed into space, charging toward the Remnant Soul concealed deep within.
"So it's a ghost cultivator."
A cold snort echoed from deep within space. The red blade aura locked with Ye Yunfei's fist instantly vanished. Then, from the spatial depths, came the shrieks of those vicious ghosts and wronged spirits.
"All the ghosts I nurtured have been destroyed by him! This fellow is very strong. Be careful!" Huang Shang warned Ye Yunfei.
"Truly unexpected. The Autumn Wind Group harbors such a powerful Remnant Soul. No wonder they've been able to act so tyrannically in the Sixth Void for so many years.
With such hidden resources, ordinary Heavenly Gods wouldn't dare offend the Autumn Wind Group headquarters."
Huang Shang remarked.
"Since we've come today, let's join forces to eliminate this old fellow. Otherwise, we'll be leaving a future calamity," Ye Yunfei said.
"Indeed. If we don't exterminate him today, this old guy will hold a grudge against you and will certainly cause you trouble endlessly," Hun Lao added.
"That old fellow has slipped away again! I can't sense his specific location anymore!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm reported.
"He won't leave. His disciples and followers are still here," Ye Yunfei sneered. Then, with a flash, he shot directly in front of a Initial Heavenly God.
This Initial Heavenly God was still dealing with the five imps and thousands of soul insects in his Soul Sea. Caught off guard by Ye Yunfei's sudden arrival, he couldn't react in time. When he finally regained his senses, he saw Ye Yunfei standing right before him with a cold smile, his terrifying aura already locking him in place.
"Everyone, save me! Quick!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei before him, the Initial Heavenly God was scared out of his wits. Knowing his strength was no match, he desperately cried for help.
"No one can save you."
Ye Yunfei laughed coldly. With a *boom*, he threw a punch.
A powerful spatial-sealing energy immediately solidified the space around the Initial Heavenly God.
"Not good! I can't move!"
The Initial Heavenly God's face was filled with terror. He found his body completely immobilized; the surrounding space was like a solid metal plate. No matter how frantically he struggled, it was futile. He could only watch as Ye Yunfei's fist descended toward his skull.
*Crack!*
Another blood-red blade aura appeared to Ye Yunfei's left, instantly slashing toward his left shoulder.
Fortunately, Ye Yunfei was already prepared. Although the red blade aura manifested extremely swiftly and attacked with astonishing speed—even slightly faster than Ye Yunfei's punch—Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, Hu Miao, and Ye Yunfei himself had all been closely monitoring it. When the red blade aura struck, they all immediately unleashed their respective specialized techniques and secret arts to block it. This gave Ye Yunfei a chance to defend.
*Boom!*
Ye Yunfei punched out.
This punch employed the Law Divine Fist. All the Great Dao laws in the surrounding space hurriedly converged, transforming into enormous divine dragons that followed Ye Yunfei's fist as it collided with the red blade aura.
*Dang!*
A deafening clang shook the entire space. The Initial Heavenly God was directly sent flying by the shockwaves, crashing into the distance.
"Too terrifying! I can't even withstand the residual energy from their clash!"
The Initial Heavenly God repeatedly spat blood, his face pale and filled with horror.
"This old fellow indeed has some strength."
Ye Yunfei retracted his fist, discovering a blood-red cut etched upon it, a single drop of blood slowly oozing out.
"To be able to cut a bloody mark on your physical body with a single blade, that old guy's strength is truly somewhat frightening!" Hun Lao couldn't help but exclaim.
Hun Lao knew Ye Yunfei's physical body had refined and fused with an incalculable number of various-grade magical treasures, including over a hundred Heavenly God-level items. Moreover, Ye Yunfei had successfully cultivated the first stage of the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art, fusing the bloodline essences of over three thousand different races within his body. The quality of Ye Yunfei's current physical form had reached a truly terrifying level.
"Damn it! How can this youngster be so powerful at such a young age? He can actually clash head-on with my Master!"
The Leader also wore an incredulous expression.
He knew that although his Master only left behind a Remnant Soul, this soul fragment was immensely powerful.
He clearly remembered a long time ago, a Perfected Heavenly God had come seeking to annihilate the Autumn Wind Group for causing his grandson's death. However, that Perfected Heavenly God was severely injured by his Master's Remnant Soul and fled in disgrace.
Since then, no force in the entire Sixth Void dared to provoke the Autumn Wind Group lightly. Yet now, a young junior had actually squarely blocked two or three blows from his Master.
"You think only you can hide in space?"
After using his Soul Power energy to scan the Autumn Wind Group headquarters once, Ye Yunfei could only faintly capture some traces of the Remnant Soul's aura but couldn't lock onto its precise location. His gaze then settled upon the Heavenly Gods.
"Order all our troops to withdraw immediately."
Ye Yunfei sent voice transmissions to the high-ranking officers of the Alliance Army.
At Ye Yunfei's command, the Alliance Army's high-ranking officers and Ye Yunfei's clones immediately began leading all their troops, withdrawing from the Autumn Wind Group headquarters like a receding tide.
Ye Yunfei feared the Remnant Soul might later attack his forces. If even he had been wounded by its blade, others would have no hope of resisting.
"Haha... Kid, finally realizing fear, are you?
I admit your strength is indeed impressive, but thinking you can wipe out our Autumn Wind Group just like that is not so easy.
Our Autumn Wind Group has endured in the Sixth Void for such a long age, standing firm throughout. Of course, we have our own hidden resources. It's not something you can obliterate at will."
Seeing the Alliance Army forces retreat from the headquarters, the Leader immediately burst into laughter.
The other Heavenly Gods also sighed in relief, believing Ye Yunfei was afraid and had decided to withdraw.
"Is that so?
But I simply refuse to believe it. Today, I *will* wipe out your Autumn Wind Group."
Once all Alliance Army troops had withdrawn from the Autumn Wind Group headquarters, Ye Yunfei slowly turned around, his cold gaze fixed on the ten Heavenly Gods.
As his words fell, Ye Yunfei's figure flashed and disappeared.
"What does that kid intend to do?"
The ten Heavenly Gods of the Autumn Wind Group were taken aback.
"Everyone, be careful. That kid is up to no good."
Seeing Ye Yunfei's actions from a distance, the Autumn Wind Group's Master Lu felt a sudden palpitation, a sense of foreboding arising.
After tunneling deep into space, Ye Yunfei immediately activated the Jade Ruyi to conceal his aura. Simultaneously, Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hu Miao each employed their own techniques and secret arts to help conceal Ye Yunfei's form and presence.
Instantly, Ye Yunfei entered a state of complete invisibility. The ten Heavenly Gods were shocked to find they could no longer locate his exact position.
"Could it be... the kid got scared and fled through space?"
One Heavenly God asked suspiciously.
"With the likes of you, what qualifications do you have to make me flee?"
Right at that moment, a voice rang out within this Heavenly God's Soul Sea.
"Not good!"
The Heavenly God immediately felt his hair stand on end, a massive sense of crisis surging over him.
