"Prison Master, that Ye kid is truly monstrous. When I deduced his fate earlier, he only possessed the power of a Virtual God. But now, he has the strength to crush Heavenly Gods. His talent is far too terrifying. If we allow him to continue growing like this, there will come a day when he threatens the safety of our entire Guardian Faction. Therefore, we must spare no time in exterminating that kid. We cannot give him any more time to develop and grow."
After calming down, the old Wizard said this to the Prison Master.
"You're right. This Ye kid is too monstrous. We cannot let him continue to grow. My main body will deal with him personally when the time comes."
The Prison Master nodded in agreement.
At this time, within the Sixth Void...
"From this moment on, the former branch strongholds of several major powers—the Guardian Faction, Autumn Wind Group, Black Profound Sect, Tianhai Sect, and Four Corners Pavilion—now all belong to our Alliance Army as its branch strongholds."
Ye Yunfei issued the order.
Very soon, all the former branch strongholds of those major powers were transformed into branch strongholds of the Alliance Army.
The Virtual Gods and True Gods from those major powers who had been subdued by Ye Yunfei and turned into clones also became members of the Alliance Army, responsible for guarding the branch strongholds where they originally resided.
In this manner, the Alliance Army instantly became the superpower with the greatest strength in the Sixth Void.
In the following period, Ye Yunfei traveled throughout the Sixth Void, visiting one World Cluster after another.
Upon arriving at each World Cluster, Ye Yunfei would release his Soul Power energy to meticulously sense the entire cluster.
"It seems Young Master Ye has come!"
Whenever Ye Yunfei unleashed his powerful Soul Power energy to sense around in these World Clusters, the powerhouses within them would all emerge, appearing before Ye Yunfei with trepidation to pay their respects.
This was because Ye Yunfei's appearance and soul aura had long since spread throughout the entire void.
"We pay our respects to Young Master Ye!"
From time to time, such voices would arise from within a World Cluster.
Ye Yunfei, with his hands clasped behind his back and saying not a word, would nod towards the beings who came to pay homage, then turn and vanish in a single step.
It was only long after Ye Yunfei had disappeared that the powerhouses of those World Clusters dared to raise their heads with newfound boldness, looking with reverent gazes in the direction he had departed.
Everyone understood that Ye Yunfei was now the most powerful person in the Sixth Void, as well as the person with the greatest authority.
"He single-handedly exterminated the Black Profound Sect, Four Corners Pavilion, Tianhai Sect, Autumn Wind Group, and the Guardian Faction. Even the Lingxiao Sect was crippled by him. In our Sixth Void, no one has ever managed to wipe out so many major powers in one go. Only he could do it. He is undoubtedly a figure of epoch-making magnitude."
An elderly, white-haired Daoist priest with a gaunt build watched Ye Yunfei's receding figure and sighed softly.
"It seems the Yin Corpse Hall has already fled this void."
After Ye Yunfei had walked through the vast majority of the World Clusters in the Sixth Void—and indeed, the vast majority of the individual worlds—he said softly.
One of the purposes for Ye Yunfei sensing each World Cluster was to locate the whereabouts of the Yin Corpse Hall.
Because after the battle at Lingxiao Sect Headquarters concluded, there had been absolutely no trace of the Yin Corpse Hall within the Sixth Void.
Ye Yunfei knew that the Yin Corpse Hall was an extremely secretive faction, and its true strength was certainly far greater than it appeared on the surface. If he didn't eradicate this faction, it would always remain a latent threat. Therefore, Ye Yunfei had constantly sent people to search for the Yin Corpse Hall's whereabouts.
However, the Yin Corpse Hall seemed to have vanished completely, leaving behind not a single trace.
"This faction is not only malevolent, but also far too cunning. At the first sign of trouble, they fled this void immediately."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"What a pity. If we could have found the Yin Corpse Hall, I likely would have harvested a huge batch of cultivation resources. Who would have thought they'd run away so quickly."
Huang Shang felt profound regret.
"The Yin Corpse Hall has most likely evacuated the Sixth Void. Very well. In the coming period, I will continue sending people to hunt for the Yin Corpse Hall's trail everywhere within this void. Once there's any news, we'll go and investigate immediately."
Finally, Ye Yunfei gave up on personally continuing the search. Instead, he ordered the Alliance Army to assign a group of high-level members specifically responsible for tracking down the Yin Corpse Hall within this void.
As the superpower with the greatest strength in the Sixth Void, a single command from the Alliance Army set the vast majority of factions across the entire void into motion, all beginning to assist in the hunt for the Yin Corpse Hall.
"Young Master Ye, during this period, the Lingxiao Sect has been extremely low-profile. They even abandoned their original headquarters, hiding within the Small World that is their ancestral land. Its members rarely venture out. It seems they intend to stay hidden inside long-term."
Elder Qi came to report to Ye Yunfei.
"If they do not provoke our Alliance Army, then pay them no mind. The moment you discover any action from them that provokes our Alliance Army, report it immediately."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold smile and spoke.
Of course, Ye Yunfei knew what those Lingxiao Sect higher-ups were thinking. Most likely, they were worried he would come to cause them more trouble, so they were keeping as low a profile as possible to avoid attracting his attention.
"It's time for me to make a breakthrough in my realm."
After traveling one full circuit of the Sixth Void, Ye Yunfei suddenly felt as if he was on the verge of a breakthrough. Thus, he returned to the Xuanhuang Continent and entered a secluded cultivation chamber to begin closed-door cultivation.
Ye Yunfei first released the Nine Divine Beasts, taking out large quantities of cultivation resources for them to devour.
Previously, in one fell swoop, Ye Yunfei had wiped out several major powers, harvesting an ocean of cultivation resources. Added to the cultivation resources he had accumulated and collected before, Ye Yunfei had absolutely no short-term worries about insufficient resources.
Moreover, most of the cultivation resources Ye Yunfei was now feeding to the Nine Divine Beasts were at the Heavenly God level, and there were even some at the Sovereign God level.
Back in the Primal Ancient Sea, among the spatial ring given by Chen Daoyuan, a significant portion consisted of Sovereign God-level cultivation resources.
"These Nine Divine Beasts should now be able to contend with most Heavenly Gods, right?"
Hun Lao looked at the Nine Divine Beasts and said.
"Their strength should be approaching the level of a Peak Heavenly God."
Ye Yunfei sensed the energy aura radiating from the Nine Divine Beasts and speculated aloud.
It was just that Ye Yunfei hadn't let these Nine Divine Beasts participate in combat during this period.
Next, Ye Yunfei began cultivating with a tranquil heart.
Inside the Phantom Tower, twenty years passed imperceptibly.
After these twenty years, Ye Yunfei suddenly emerged from the Phantom Tower.
High in the sky, dark clouds had already gathered densely, with rolling thunder and lightning.
"My Heavenly God Lightning Tribulation has finally arrived."
Ye Yunfei looked up at the immense, oppressive tribulation clouds and said softly.
Boom!
Soon, thick bolts of lightning poured down from the heavens like waterfalls.
Ye Yunfei stood amidst the surging heavenly tribulation lightning, not dodging or evading, allowing the thick lightning bolts to strike his body ceaselessly.
"With the current level of your Origin Essence Bloodline, this level of lightning should hold no more danger for your fleshly body."
Hun Lao said with a smile.
"That's right. To me, this level of lightning poses no danger whatsoever. However, I cannot stop here. Next, I need to collect more Origin Essence Bloodlines from different races, striving to advance the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Technique another step."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Previously, using the Origin Essence Bloodlines from over three thousand different races, Ye Yunfei had only managed to cultivate the first layer of the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Technique. For this technique, that was just the beginning.
"If you advance the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Technique another level, your fleshly body will undoubtedly become incredibly and unimaginably formidable."
Hun Lao remarked.
"This body-tempering technique is indeed incredibly powerful. And according to the brief introduction of the technique I obtained, I am likely the first person in the world to cultivate it. Even the powerhouse who created it hasn't begun cultivating it yet. So, it's possible that the creator himself doesn't know how powerful this technique truly is; only I will know."
Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
At this moment, the heavenly tribulation lightning continued to roll and crash down from the sky. This was the heavenly tribulation for breaking through to become a Heavenly God—its scale, power, and duration were all extremely daunting.
Standing amidst the billowing tribulation lightning, Ye Yunfei spent a full ten days before finally completing this heavenly tribulation.
"I am now a Heavenly God."
As the oppressive, black clouds in the high sky began to disperse, Ye Yunfei clenched his fists, feeling the Divine Power energy within his body, and said softly.
Although Ye Yunfei was already a Divine King, the increase in the intensity of his internal Divine Power energy upon breaking through to Heavenly God wasn't massive. Still, this was ultimately a significant realm breakthrough, bringing Ye Yunfei benefits in many aspects.
Moreover, the elevation in realm would also allow Ye Yunfei to travel further on the path of cultivation in the future.
After becoming a Heavenly God, Ye Yunfei gave off an even more profound and mysterious feeling. Moving through the void, he seemed to completely meld with the surrounding time and space.
"This is not enough. Next, I need to cultivate diligently and comprehend even more Grand Dao laws."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then returned to the Phantom Tower to continue his cultivation.
This time, Ye Yunfei focused solely on cultivating Grand Dao laws.
Unconsciously, another ten years of closed-door cultivation passed within the Phantom Tower.
Ten years later, Ye Yunfei concluded his seclusion, emerged from the Phantom Tower, and arrived at the Alliance Army's great hall of assembly.
The Alliance Army higher-ups stationed at the headquarters sensed Ye Yunfei's aura and immediately rushed over.
"Young Master Ye, during this period, the Sixth Void has been relatively calm. The various factions, races, and World Clusters have all maintained a very low profile. Our Alliance Army's branch strongholds have spread across the entire void, developing very rapidly. Furthermore, I have dispatched a batch of scouts to secretly travel to other voids and gather intelligence."
Elder Qi stepped forward to report to Ye Yunfei.
"Elder Qi, you've done very well."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
This Elder Qi was specifically responsible for intelligence work for the Alliance Army, and he performed his duties excellently. Knowing that after pacifying the Sixth Void, Ye Yunfei would inevitably begin to pay attention to the situations in other voids, he had preemptively sent people to gather information.
"It seems our Alliance Army needs to nurture some Heavenly Gods. Issue the order: have all Advanced True Gods and Peak True Gods of the Alliance Army return to headquarters. From now on, they shall enter closed-door cultivation."
After some thought, Ye Yunfei gave this command.
Following Ye Yunfei's order, it wasn't long before all the Advanced True Gods and Peak True Gods of the Alliance Army returned to headquarters. Under Ye Yunfei's arrangements, they began entering the Phantom Tower for secluded cultivation, striving to break through their realms.
Ye Yunfei first acquainted himself with the specific situations of these Advanced and Peak True Gods, then entered the Phantom Tower to specially refine corresponding elixirs for them.
Very soon, large quantities of auxiliary elixirs were continuously delivered into the hands of these True Gods in closed-door seclusion, striving to break through.
Of course, besides elixirs, Ye Yunfei also provided them with vast amounts of other types of cultivation resources.
Furthermore, Ye Yunfei selected a large batch of techniques and secret arts. Matching them to the characteristics of these True Gods, he gifted them these techniques respectively.
Previously, Ye Yunfei had devoured the Soul Bodies of many True Gods from various major powers, and even some Heavenly Gods' Soul Bodies, thus obtaining a massive collection of techniques and secret arts. Now, ordinary techniques and secret arts no longer held his interest, so he simply gifted them to the higher-ups of the Alliance Army.
Approximately three months later, the Xuanhuang Continent finally welcomed another Heavenly God-level heavenly tribulation.
One of the patriarchs of the Earth Demon Race stood beneath the surging heavenly tribulation lightning, his face filled with excitement.
Next, this patriarch began to battle against the tribulation lightning, while Ye Yunfei personally stood by his side, standing guard for him.
