"I understand now!"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Boom! Boom!
Ye Yunfei’s two fists shot out once more, the left executing the Space-Sealing Fist and the right the Great Divine Annihilation Fist. Simultaneously, he unleashed two or three Soul Arts targeting the Prison Master’s Soul Sea.
"Impressive!
Who would have thought you’d be so powerful in Soul Power as well?"
Suddenly struck by several powerful Soul Arts, the Prison Master was momentarily taken aback, slightly surprised, and spoke with approval.
Boom boom boom...
The next moment, over a dozen Soul Power-based magical treasures materialized within his Soul Sea, all activating at once, encircling and protecting his Soul Body.
Immediately after, a yellow talisman appeared in his Soul Sea.
The talisman burst forth with a multitude of profound mystical runes. These runes suffused his Soul Sea, forming a protective shield that safeguarded his Soul Body.
Then, Ye Yunfei realized that all the Soul Art attacks he had launched were blocked, and tens of thousands of Soul Insects were forcibly expelled from the Prison Master’s Soul Sea.
Alarmed, Ye Yunfei hurriedly recalled the Soul Insects, but he was a step too late. Within an extremely short time, more than half of the tens of thousands of Soul Insects exploded one after another, vanishing without a trace.
"What kind of talisman was that?
It seems to possess terrifyingly formidable Soul Power attacks; even Soul Insects dared not approach!" Hun Lao was astonished.
Soul Insects didn’t fear ordinary Heavenly God treasures. A Soul Power artifact that could deter Soul Insects from approaching was certainly extraordinary.
"I don’t recognize it either.
This fellow is truly formidable," Ye Yunfei frowned, feeling a pang of pain at losing so many Soul Insects so quickly.
Rumble...
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei executed a Physical Divine Ability. His body swelled in height and thickness, transforming in an instant into a giant radiating with golden light.
This golden giant clenched its fists, and two fist-like golden mountains struck simultaneously at the Prison Master.
Behind this golden giant, a tall, ancient emperor also threw a punch forward.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei unleashed three fist techniques at once: the Boundary-Breaking Fist, the Space-Sealing Fist, and the Imperial Dao Divine Fist.
While using his Physical Divine Ability, he could harness greater destructive power from his physical strength.
"Youngster, my fist technique isn’t inferior to yours." Seeing Ye Yunfei continuously employing fist techniques, the Prison Master gave a cold laugh. He raised his right fist and threw a punch.
This punch seemed utterly ordinary at first, barely carrying any ripples of energy or laws. But soon, around his fist, illusory worlds began to take form one after another.
These illusory worlds were like clusters of bubbles crowding around the fist, rolling forward with it.
The illusory worlds continuously expanded. Within them were suns, moons, stars, cosmic skies, vast lands, mountains, rivers, plains, deserts, oceans—every kind of terrain imaginable. On land, on stars, countless living beings thrived. The cycle of day and night, the change of seasons, were all ceaselessly manifesting and evolving within those illusory worlds.
Anyone who stared at those worlds would immediately be pulled into their illusory scenes, as if becoming part of those worlds, experiencing the various journeys of mortal life.
The Prison Master’s fist seemed to pass through vast world after world, punching forth from a distant void and appearing directly before Ye Yunfei.
A multitude of illusory worlds came crashing down, suppressing Ye Yunfei.
With a dull thud, Ye Yunfei’s two fists collided with the Prison Master’s. Ye Yunfei felt only a terrifying torrent of fist force surging at him before his body was sent flying backward, spurting blood repeatedly.
"Dammit, this youngster’s body is so damned resilient!" The Prison Master’s expression turned grim as he watched Ye Yunfei, who, despite continuously vomiting blood, remained fundamentally unharmed.
"In this Sixth Void, beings who can withstand so many moves from the Prison Master and still stand alive are few in number.
This youngster’s physique is truly formidable," the old Wizard, seated cross-legged on his altar and keeping his gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei, couldn’t help but marvel.
"Regardless, I *will* kill you today." The Prison Master took a step forward, moving with astonishing speed and instantly closing in on Ye Yunfei.
"Wishing to kill me isn’t that easy." Ye Yunfei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered.
Whoosh...
The moment Ye Yunfei finished speaking.
Countless chains of Great Dao Laws continuously manifested in the surrounding void. These numerous Great Dao Law chains interwove together, finally coalescing into five massive chains of different colors. These five huge, color-coded chains then swept towards Ye Yunfei simultaneously from five different angles.
"This is another martial skill concerning Great Dao Laws," Hun Lao immediately transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"This guy knows your cultivation in Great Dao Laws falls short of his, so he’s been consistently suppressing you with them," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"Let’s attack together," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm added.
Then, it appeared beside Ye Yunfei, waved its hand, and erected a large number of golden spatial restrictions.
These numerous spatial restrictions formed a golden protective bubble, securing the space Ye Yunfei occupied.
Immediately after, an illusory world materialized instantaneously with Ye Yunfei at its center, also forming a protective barrier around him.
This illusory world was a sophisticated spatial formation called the Spatial World Formation, executed by Hun Lao — a secret spatial inheritance art of the Chaos World Tree clan.
In truth, Ye Yunfei had cultivated this inheritance art before, but he found that his own execution of this spatial art never matched Hun Lao’s in power, so he’d used it less frequently later on.
"So you have these experts following you. Perfect, I can catch you all in one net." After the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao made their move, the Prison Master said coldly.
"Youngster Ye, you must regret crossing our Guardian Faction now, don’t you?" Seeing Ye Yunfei suppressed by the Prison Master, the old Wizard couldn’t resist a mocking sneer.
"To be frank with you, the Prison Master has yet to show his true strength," the Wizard added.
"Really? Well, I haven’t shown my true strength either," Ye Yunfei retorted with a sneer, even as he was forced into constant retreat by the five differently-colored colossal chains, looking rather disheveled.
"What’s the point of such bravado?" The Prison Master sneered dismissively. Then, his figure suddenly blurred.
"Not good!" Ye Yunfei saw only a faint silhouette flash towards him faster than he could react, a sense of danger screaming in his heart.
"Careful! This guy’s speed has suddenly increased more than tenfold! And as he speeds up, he’s sealing the space-time of our area, solidifying space and stopping time, while he himself remains unaffected. This is a masterful use of time and space laws!" Hun Lao’s spatial perception was exceptionally keen. Shocked, he immediately called out a warning.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei felt the space solidifying, time chaotic, and he could no longer accurately lock onto the Prison Master’s figure.
"Too fast! My physical strength alone can’t possibly counter this." Ye Yunfei inwardly sighed. There was no denying it; this Prison Master’s cultivation in Great Dao Laws was immensely formidable.
The movement technique he was using now precisely utilized the Great Dao Laws of Space and Time.
"Young Master Ye need not worry. Allow me to deal with this fellow."
Just then, an elderly man clad in silver robes suddenly appeared beside Ye Yunfei and spoke softly.
This elder had thick, abundant hair. Not only was his robe silver, but his skin and even his eyes were silver as well. He seemed forged entirely of pure silver, his face serene, robes fluttering, radiating an indescribable aura of transcendent grace.
Boom!
The silver-robed elder threw a fist forward. Silver light blazed, and beams of silver radiance bloomed.
The moment this silver light appeared, the surrounding space suddenly felt immensely heavy.
A massive silver cauldron then materialized above the elder’s head, bobbing up and down, from which thick streams of silver Great Dao Laws cascaded.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The silver-robed elder strode forward and, in an extremely short span of time, exchanged over a dozen hard clashes with the Prison Master.
The speed of their exchanges was so incredibly swift that even Ye Yunfei’s eyes and perception found it difficult to keep up.
"This senior is truly formidable!" Ye Yunfei was inwardly shocked.
Indeed, Ye Yunfei had long anticipated further reinforcements because when those two mysterious experts left, they’d told him they had arranged for someone specifically to deal with the Guardian Faction’s Prison Master and Wizard. Now, it had indeed come to pass.
"Excellent!
It seems the two seniors from before truly didn’t deceive us."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm watched the silver-robed elder’s back with intense excitement.
Hu Miao, Huang Shang, Hun Lao, and the others were all equally excited.
Throughout the earlier part of the fight between Ye Yunfei and the Prison Master, Ye Yunfei had been suppressed. But now, facing the Prison Master’s various attacks, the silver-robed elder countered them all, retreating not a single step. They fought blow for blow, evenly matched. Clearly, this silver-robed elder was a powerhouse on the same level as the Prison Master.
"Youngster, I never expected you’d have help. It seems I’ll have to take action against you myself." Seeing the Prison Master blocked by the silver-robed elder, the old Wizard’s expression turned extremely grim. His sharp, piercing gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as he spoke.
Rumble...
The altar beneath him erupted with rolling divine light, lifted into the air, and charged toward Ye Yunfei.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
All the divination and divinatory tools and artifacts arranged on the table before the old Wizard activated, each carrying profound energy auras as they blasted toward Ye Yunfei.
"These artifacts are bizarre. Their trajectories seem both real and illusory, unpredictable, difficult to discern," Hun Lao transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Don’t worry, I can handle it," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
The next instant, over a dozen Compasses appeared around Ye Yunfei.
Most of these Compasses were from the spatial ring Chen Daoyuan had gifted Ye Yunfei back in the Ancient Desolate Sea. After refining them, Ye Yunfei could not only employ them for geomancy techniques but also utilize them as magical artifacts in combat.
Moreover, these Compasses all possessed the ability to seek fortune and avoid danger. Without needing Ye Yunfei to control them, they would automatically adjust their defensive positions, accurately blocking attacks with erratic, elusive, real-or-illusory trajectories.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
One Compass after another revolved and shuttled around Ye Yunfei, warding off the various magical artifacts and attacks launched by the old Wizard.
"Youngster, let’s see how many you can block!" The old Wizard sat cross-legged upon his altar, his hands dancing like butterflies flitting among flowers, rapidly forming one profound magic seal after another. The altar beneath him also released a powerful energy suppression, rumbling toward Ye Yunfei like a crashing wave.
