After all, when faced with treasures, most people would choose to go get them themselves. How could he have anticipated that Ye Yunfei would use a clone instead of his main body to enter?
"Master! Come out quickly and save me! I've been captured by someone! This guy is also a living creature!"
Panicked, the Reincarnation Ghost quickly sent a Sound Transmission towards the colossal figure within the space.
"My clone has been completely refined, vanishing without a trace. Not a single shred of its flesh, blood, or Soul Body remains."
Ye Yunfei sensed that his clone had been utterly refined and absorbed, leaving behind only a pile of clothes.
"What on earth is this thing? It refined and absorbed my clone in just a few breaths."
Ye Yunfei was somewhat alarmed. Then his expression changed drastically.
"Not good! We have to leave!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly turned and charged down from the Wangxiang Platform. For at that moment, he suddenly sensed an extremely bizarre aura emanating from within the small space — precisely the aura of that colossal figure inside.
"His reaction time is just too fast," the Reincarnation Ghost couldn't help but grumble, seeing Ye Yunfei flee so decisively.
"Oh no! Something is coming for you!" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed to Ye Yunfei in alarm.
Because he felt an extremely uncomfortable aura swiftly spreading towards Ye Yunfei.
Flight was utterly impossible on this Reincarnation Path; one could only travel along it on foot.
After leaving the Wangxiang Platform, Ye Yunfei quickly retreated along their original route, utilizing his physical strength augmented by the Nine Dragons Supreme Steps. His speed reached the extreme, and within moments, he was far from the platform.
"Ahead is the Yellow Spring Road," Ye Yunfei thought to himself, seeing the paved stone path ahead and the two-colored flowers lining its sides.
However, at that very moment, Ye Yunfei was shocked to discover that a bizarre aura had caught up with him, engulfing him completely. Then, this eerie aura transformed into a crimson-dark hand which grabbed Ye Yunfei's body and began dragging him back toward the Wangxiang Platform.
Facing this crimson-dark hand, Ye Yunfei found himself powerless to resist.
"Just what kind of terrifying existence is this?! It can actually restrain my body!"
Ye Yunfei could scarcely believe it. He was, after all, a God King, possessing not just one crown.
"Hehehe... Indeed, it's fresh flesh. And a young creature at that. His flesh is exceptionally succulent, of excellent quality. A great tonic for me!"
A sinister laugh came from the direction of the Wangxiang Platform, sending shivers down Ye Yunfei's spine.
"It really was a trap! This Reincarnation Ghost is despicable!" gnashed the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Just wait. Once I break free, I will definitely annihilate you completely!" Ye Yunfei roared in fury.
So far, not only had Ye Yunfei not obtained any treasures, he had lost a clone. Now, his very body was seized by that terrifying crimson-dark hand. This situation infuriated him utterly.
"Human, you dare threaten me even in this situation? You won't get the chance to settle accounts. You are about to become a delicacy in my Master's mouth!" Seeing Ye Yunfei caught, the Reincarnation Ghost rejoiced and spoke triumphantly.
"All together! Use our combined strength to break free!" Hun Lao shouted.
In the next instant, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Huang Chang all unleashed the martial skills and techniques they excelled in, attacking the crimson-dark hand.
Like a mountain collapsing and seas erupting, Ye Yunfei's physical strength and divine energy gushed forth continuously, augmented by various skills, hammering against the crimson-dark hand.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao used their racial spatial secrets, trying to seal the crimson-dark hand. But the hand completely ignored all attacks, firmly gripping Ye Yunfei and relentlessly dragging him back toward the platform.
"No way! What kind of existence is this? Just manifesting an energy hand and it's already this powerful. The Reincarnation Path truly is perilous. It's incredibly difficult for a living creature to enter and leave safely," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but exclaim.
"Don't lose heart! Whatever happens, we must exert our utmost effort. See if we can break free! If this hand drags us back into that small space, escaping will be even harder," Hun Lao urged everyone.
"Right! Prepare for a desperate fight! Even if we have to burn our origin blood essence, we must do it! The consequences of being dragged back by this thing are unimaginable!" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also yelled through gritted teeth.
"Ah! Quickly, use that Reincarnation Token! This is the Reincarnation Path. The token is like a symbol of identity; it should offer you protection," Hun Lao suddenly remembered and sent Ye Yunfei a Sound Transmission.
At that moment, that Reincarnation Token was busy dealing with the Reincarnation Ghost.
Hearing Hun Lao, Ye Yunfei quickly retrieved the token from the Phantom Pagoda.
*Boom!*
The token erupted with a torrent of divine light, enveloping Ye Yunfei.
"How does he have this token?!" As soon as Ye Yunfei produced the Reincarnation Token, a shocked voice rang out from the small space atop the Wangxiang Platform.
"Could he be that person's successor from back then? If so, then I must kill him all the more! That bastard played a part in my current miserable state. Now that I've encountered his heir, I will show no mercy!" The voice within the small space spoke again.
Then, the crimson-dark hand abruptly accelerated, swiftly dragging Ye Yunfei back up onto the Wangxiang Platform. Ye Yunfei was utterly unable to break free, and as he was hauled back onto the platform, he knew the situation was dire.
Suddenly, three crowns shot out from above Ye Yunfei's head. The three God King crowns erupted with immense divine energy, resembling three erupting volcanoes.
"Excellent! This young creature actually possesses three God King crowns! A true young freak! The more monstrous he is, the more delicious a meal he'll be for me! After devouring him, I will surely obtain abundant life energy!" The colossal figure in the small space laughed triumphantly.
"No choice! Prepare to burn our origin blood essence!" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm roared.
However, at that very moment, the entire Reincarnation Path suddenly began to tremble violently, shaking unsteadily. Then, at a certain point along the path, a tear abruptly opened.
"Strange... I sense that person's aura from years past on this Reincarnation Path. Has he been hiding here all these years? How daring! Does he think the most dangerous place is the safest?"
A voice emerged from within the spatial tear.
