This was a Sovereign God-level magic treasure, erupting with terrifying Sovereign God-level energy pressure, aiming to suppress and kill Ye Yunfei on the spot.
Right at this moment, with a loud 'clang', a deafening noise erupted, and that black furnace was directly sent flying backwards.
Then, the Prison Master smelled a strange, fragrant scent.
"Brat, what is above your head? It can actually repel my Sovereign God-level furnace," the Prison Master stared at the space above Ye Yunfei's head, but he could see nothing.
Just now, when that black furnace arrived above Ye Yunfei's head, he vaguely saw a magic treasure radiating dazzling light flash and disappear, directly sending his black furnace flying. But then, he could see nothing again, only smelling that strange fragrance.
That furnace of his was a Sovereign God-level treasure. Only something at least Sovereign God-level could repel a Sovereign God-level treasure.
Ye Yunfei, of course, knew that it was the Dream Incense which had just repelled the black furnace.
Earlier in the Primordial Wilderness Sea, Ye Yunfei had obtained the Dream Incense. He had secretly lit it just before the fight began.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Dream Incense, interfering with the Prison Master and enhancing Ye Yunfei's combat power, that Ye Yunfei had been able to fight this Prison Master until now without a clear victor.
Once burned, the Dream Incense released a fragrance that could cause tremendous interference to a living being's Soul Body, stealthily dragging them into a dream-like state. This was why the Prison Master had never launched overly ferocious attacks at Ye Yunfei—he was already under the influence of the Dream Incense; its Dream Law principles were beginning to work on him.
"Strange, what is this exactly? I always feel there is a treasure above that kid's head, and it seems to be affecting me. What could it be?" The Prison Master stared at the space above Ye Yunfei's head with doubt and suspicion, but he simply could not see the existence of the Dream Incense.
This was one of the Dream Incense's characteristics; once lit, it entered a concealed state. Those without sufficient strength simply could not see it.
"This fellow's combat power is truly strong. You've already unleashed a variety of methods but can only fight him to a stalemate," Hun Lao said, shaking his head.
"Yes, he is indeed formidable," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Although Ye Yunfei was highly dissatisfied with the current combat situation, even feeling immense pressure, the spectators observing the battle were thoroughly shocked to see that Ye Yunfei was actually fighting this Sovereign God on equal footing.
"Heh, I truly didn't expect Young Master Ye to already possess Sovereign God-level combat power. No wonder he could instantly kill those Heavenly Gods before," the Silver-Robed Elder said, looking at Ye Yunfei with a smile.
"It's precisely this kind of young genius that is worth our allegiance," the Middle-Aged Daoist Nun said, her eyes full of admiration.
"Hahaha... To think Young Master Ye already has Sovereign God-level combat power! Our Alliance Army, led by a Sovereign God, is destined to continue growing and strengthening. With Young Master Ye here, our Alliance Army will certainly develop better and better," the upper echelons of the Alliance Army were all extremely excited, laughing heartily. Some couldn't help but shout loudly, cheering for Ye Yunfei.
At this moment, everyone had distanced themselves from the area where Ye Yunfei and the Prison Master were fighting, not daring to get too close.
"Brat, I must kill you today!" The Prison Master grew angrier the longer the fight went on. A long sword appeared in his hand, its blade trembling as he thrust it toward Ye Yunfei.
The sword was crystalline, its light dazzling and awe-inspiring. Vast sword qi spread out like an ocean, shaking this vast expanse of void.
Sensing the terrifying sword qi, Ye Yunfei hurriedly raised the long blade in his hand to block.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Blade and sword clashed, splashing out a shower of sparks that illuminated the entire expanse of void, revealing every tiny detail.
"Be suppressed!" the Prison Master roared, pressing forward step by step with his sword. The black furnace above his head and the ancient beast resembling a toad both leapt high simultaneously, breaking through space as they descended to suppress Ye Yunfei.
His long sword swept forward; sword qi like the sea, rolling up towering waves, instantly covering Ye Yunfei's body with boundless sword qi as if he were trapped in an ocean of swords.
"This fellow's swordsmanship is at a very high level, likely stronger than yours," Hun Lao couldn't help but say.
"Yes, his swordsmanship is superior to mine," Ye Yunfei replied, gripping the blood-red long blade with both hands, exerting every ounce of his strength as he continuously executed One Blade Severing Yin-Yang.
This blade technique was currently one of Ye Yunfei's strongest combat methods. Each stroke managed to block the Prison Master's sword.
This blade technique was a major reason why Ye Yunfei had been able to battle this Prison Master until now. Of course, the Dream Incense above his head, the two soul techniques of the Ghost of Samsara, and Ye Yunfei's formidable physical strength, among other aspects, all worked in concert to allow Ye Yunfei to continue fighting this Prison Master.
After watching for a while, the Silver-Robed Elder and the Middle-Aged Daoist Nun furrowed their brows.
"Young Master Ye might not necessarily win," the Silver-Robed Elder said.
"Don't worry, the Sovereign God on our side should arrive very soon," the Middle-Aged Daoist Nun said.
"It's precisely because the Sovereign God on our side hasn't arrived that I'm a bit concerned," the Silver-Robed Elder replied.
Just at that moment, at a certain location in the distant void, space was brutally ripped open, revealing a spatial rift.
Then, a seemingly ordinary, unremarkable old man in azure robes, with slightly thick limbs and hands, walked out from that spatial rift. The azure-robed elder's gaze immediately fell upon Ye Yunfei and the Prison Master.
Sensing something, Ye Yunfei and the Prison Master both turned their heads to look and were shocked.
Because Ye Yunfei and the Prison Master immediately perceived that this azure-robed elder was a Sovereign God.
"What? Another Sovereign God? Did the Guardian Faction send another Sovereign God? If so, I'm certainly no match," Ye Yunfei looked at the azure-robed elder and thought to himself.
By now, the azure-robed elder had already lifted his foot and begun walking over.
"Which side is this Sovereign God here to help? I don't know if he's sent from the Fifth Void?" The Prison Master was also guessing in his heart, because he did not recognize this azure-robed elder before him. He had earlier sent a message to the Guardian Faction in the Fifth Void, requesting reinforcements.
The azure-robed elder strode over. He didn't seem particularly fast, but everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and the azure-robed elder was already standing not far from where Ye Yunfei and the Prison Master were fighting.
"Truly, heroes emerge from the young! So young, yet merely an Intermediate Heavenly God, and already possesses Sovereign God-level combat power," the azure-robed elder's gaze rested on Ye Yunfei as he slowly spoke.
"Which side is this guy on? If he's a Sovereign God from the Guardian Faction, then we need to think about how to escape right now. We might not even be able to defeat one Sovereign God, two is definitely too much for us," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"Yes, we need to be prepared to escape at any moment," Ye Yunfei said. Then, he sent Sound Transmissions to the Silver-Robed Elder and the Middle-Aged Daoist Nun, instructing them to lead the army in a discreet retreat and prepare to leave.
"Sir, what is the purpose of your coming here?" The Prison Master looked at the azure-robed elder and asked.
"My purpose here is to deal with you," the azure-robed elder slowly turned to look at the Prison Master, his voice turning icy.
"So, you are here to help this brat," the Prison Master said, startled upon hearing the azure-robed elder's words, his expression immediately turning extremely grim.
"Correct, I am indeed here to help this youngster," the azure-robed elder gave a faint smile. As soon as his words fell, with a 'boom', everyone saw a flash of azure light. The azure-robed elder had already dashed right in front of the Prison Master.
Following that, thick vines, like azure dragons, rushed out continuously from the azure-robed elder's body, roaring as they assaulted the Prison Master.
Each thick azure vine radiated overwhelming chaotic energy. There were at least a hundred thick azure vines waving about in this expanse of void, continuously lashing towards the Prison Master.
These vines were not only extremely thick but also incredibly sturdy. The Prison Master's sword landed several cuts on one of the azure vines, yet only managed to make a small notch.
Rumble...
One thick azure vine after another swayed constantly. The dense leaves on the vines also swayed incessantly, releasing astonishing life energy. Thousands of leaves shimmered with a pure radiance, rustling and shaking, resembling a primeval azure forest.
The azure-robed elder was enveloped by azure light, looking quite divine and mystical.
"What relation do you have to the ancient Greenwood Divine Monarch? Could you be his successor?" Suddenly, the Prison Master asked in a shocked voice.
"Less talk, more fighting. I haven't had a good fight for a long time," the azure-robed elder did not answer the Prison Master's question, saying faintly.
As he spoke, the thick azure vines extending from his body whipped about even more wildly, causing the space ahead to explode incessantly, shattering to pieces.
Next, a long azure spear appeared in the azure-robed elder's hands. Holding the spear with both hands, he strode forward. Vast amounts of azure energy and azure Laws from the surrounding space poured into his body like flocks of birds returning to the forest.
"This senior seems to cultivate primarily wood energy and wood laws, having reached an extremely high level," Hun Lao said, somewhat surprised, sending a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed, that is wood energy and wood laws," Ye Yunfei nodded.
At this moment, the azure-robed elder and the Prison Master fought faster and faster. In the course of their battle, both released infinite energy pressure and Grand Dao Laws, constantly affecting and altering the surrounding space and time.
Gradually, the time and space of their battlefield became utterly chaotic.
Those with insufficient strength could not only not see the azure-robed elder and the Prison Master with their naked eyes, they couldn't even sense them with their Soul Power energy. All they could see was that stretch of space filled with endless light and heat, occasionally discerning two vaguely discernible figures moving rapidly.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured, our side has Sovereign Gods too," the Silver-Robed Elder walked up to Ye Yunfei's side and said with a smile.
