"Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony. I must slay a Sovereign God today no matter what!"
Ye Yunfei looked at the green-robed elder who was locked in a fierce struggle with the Prison Master and declared.
Then, with a fierce motion, Ye Yunfei took out over a dozen jade bottles, popped their lids open in one go, and poured all the Divine Pills contained within directly into his mouth.
With a deafening boom, a colossal, overwhelming medicinal energy erupted instantaneously within his body. Like a furious tide, vast amounts of medicinal power flooded every inch of Ye Yunfei's frame, down to every cell, causing the energy aura radiating from him to surge dramatically.
Gripping the crimson longblade with both hands, Ye Yunfei shot into the air. Employing the Nine Dragon Supremacy Steps augmented by his physical body strength, he shattered through space and appeared behind the Prison Master in the blink of an eye. Then, he unleashed One Blade Severing Yin-Yang, slashing down with a mighty chop.
As he moved, Ye Yunfei simultaneously activated several Soul Power martial techniques and Heart Power martial techniques.
At the same time, a stick of Dream Incense materialized above his head, instantly igniting and emitting a faint wisp of fragrant smoke.
Next, the Nine Divine Beasts pushed the massive Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, rumbling forth from another direction, shaking the void itself.
His Blood Clan Clone appeared from yet another side, holding a blood-drenched longsword, immediately conjuring a sky-obscuring sea of bloody mist. The clone utilized Blood Control Sorcery, causing the Prison Master to feel a sudden turmoil stirring within his bloodstream.
"You brat! Daring to come here seeking death!" the Prison Master roared, infuriated by the assault after exchanging dozens of blows with the green-robed elder without gaining the upper hand.
With a boom, the black furnace above his head soared upward, pouring out a torrential flood of flames—a sea of fire rolling toward Ye Yunfei.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei unleashed five or six different types of Unusual Flames. Each flame expanded into its own fiery sea, encircling and confronting the conflagration spewing from the black furnace.
Then, a blood-red Ancient Beast resembling a gigantic toad materialized beside the Prison Master, its massive body leaping into the air to pounce on Ye Yunfei.
However, before this toad monster could reach Ye Yunfei, it was intercepted by the Nine Divine Beasts pushing the enormous Nine Palaces Totem Wheel.
*Clang! Clang!...*
The blood-red blade beam slashed out by Ye Yunfei reached a point above the Prison Master's head. From within the Prison Master's body, over ten magical treasures shot forth and activated simultaneously, releasing surging waves of treasure energy to block the incoming crimson blade light. One massive metallic clash after another rang out, echoing far into the distance, deafening every being observing from afar.
"Old bastard, let's see how many strikes you can block!"
Ye Yunfei swung his left fist, channeling all the physical body strength within him as it poured into his knuckles before delivering a devastating punch.
This was Ye Yunfei's Shattering World Fist. With a single strike, it pierced through space instantly, arriving before the Prison Master's body.
The Prison Master had no choice but to free a hand to block.
Ye Yunfei's left fist moved like lightning, ferociously throwing punch after punch, regardless of cost.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei raised the blood-red longblade high in his right hand and unleashed One Blade Severing Yin-Yang, viciously cleaving the space where the Prison Master stood into a bizarre world partitioned into Yin and Yang.
"You brat! Do you truly think I fear you?" the Prison Master bellowed in rage.
His fist shot out in response, deflecting the Shattering World Fist unleashed by Ye Yunfei with one punch, before another of his fists struck Ye Yunfei's blood-red longblade, forcing it back.
"How is this guy's body so tough?" Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed in shock.
"He has a pair of gauntlets on his fists," Hun Lao's voice cut in.
"So that's it!"
Hearing Hun Lao's words, Ye Yunfei immediately fixed his gaze on the Prison Master's hands and indeed saw the pair of gauntlets he wore.
"That's a Sovereign God-level treasure with formidable defensive capabilities," Hun Lao added.
"Old bastard, let's see how many punches you can take!"
Ye Yunfei frantically threw punches with his left hand and slashed with the blade in his right.
Punch after punch, slash after slash, all while executing the Imperial Emperor Heart Method. An ancient emperor's illusory figure manifested behind him, mimicking Ye Yunfei's movements, throwing its own immense fists down from above to assail the Prison Master.
"Kid, are you trying to fight to the death?"
The Prison Master was taken aback by the tempest of attacks raining down upon him. Dealing with the green-robed elder's assault alone was already proving somewhat taxing; now with Ye Yunfei suddenly joining the fray in such a frenzied manner, the Prison Master began to feel genuine alarm.
*Rumble...*
A white sphere suddenly manifested behind the Prison Master, rotating at extreme speeds. Upon its appearance, all the energy and laws within the surrounding space immediately reacted. Like countless rivers returning to the sea, they surged continuously toward the white sphere, especially the Great Dao Laws permeating the void, which manifested into tangible law chains shimmering visibly before twisting and rushing into the white sphere.
With a thunderous boom, the white sphere, now brimming with countless quivering Great Dao Law chains, hurtled toward Ye Yunfei.
"For me… CLEAVE!"
Gripping the blood-red longblade with both hands, Ye Yunfei didn't retreat half a step. Instead, he met the onslaught head-on with a fierce slash.
This strike was fueled by Ye Yunfei's full power, conjuring an enormously thick blood-red blade radiance. The bizarre Yin-Yang-partitioned world it carved out grew significantly denser, halting the white sphere in its tracks.
"Let's see how many slashes you can withstand!"
After blocking the white sphere, Ye Yunfei swung his left fist, executing the Great Annihilation Divine Fist to smash into the sphere, while his right hand rapidly whipped the crimson longblade, continuing to unleash One Blade Severing Yin-Yang with lightning speed, striking out one blood-red blade beam after another.
Employing One Blade Severing Yin-Yang so rapidly and intensely also meant Ye Yunfei's Divine Power energy was being consumed at a staggering rate. But possessing Chaos Divine Meridians, he was utterly unafraid of depletion.
Ye Yunfei took out another dozen or so jade bottles, pouring every Divine Pill within them into his mouth before swallowing and immediately refining and absorbing them.
Simultaneously, his attacks grew faster and fiercer. His left hand unleashed physical body martial techniques while his right executed One Blade Severing Yin-Yang, all coordinated with the Nine Dragon Supremacy Steps and Imperial Emperor Heart Method, pressing the assault relentlessly.
"Brat, since you're so eager to die, I'll slaughter you first!"
Facing this hurricane of attacks, the Prison Master, now both shocked and furious, retreated several steps swiftly, disengaging from the green-robed elder's onslaught. He then spun around, brandishing both fists as he charged fiercely toward Ye Yunfei.
Within one or two exchanges, Ye Yunfei was forced back repeatedly. Then the Prison Master's hands suddenly reached out, tracing arcane motions through the space before him.
Each movement of his hands through the void left behind a stroke of shimmering golden light.
In less than a single breath, his two hands inscribed two ancient characters in the fabric of space. These characters exuded profound, mysterious, yet terrifying divine light.
Then, the Prison Master pushed forward with both hands, sending the two ancient characters rumbling toward Ye Yunfei.
"What kind of technique is this?"
Ye Yunfei was slightly baffled; he had never encountered a technique quite like this before.
Bearing intensely fearsome energy, the two ancient characters also appeared to be two profoundly arcane symbols. They pierced through space and arrived directly before Ye Yunfei.
Instead of dodging, Ye Yunfei met them head-on, striking forward with both fist and blade. As they clashed, a powerful shockwave of energy surged forth, forcing Ye Yunfei back several paces.
"Could this perhaps be the inheritance of the Ancient Script School of antiquity?"
Hun Lao suddenly sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Ancient Script School? What kind of sect is that?"
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel curious.
"The Ancient Script School was an extremely unique sect from ancient times. The cultivation techniques and inheritance they practiced specialized in infusing the energy and laws of heaven and earth into ancient written characters, then utilizing those characters to attack. Judging by its appearance, what he's employing must be the inheritance of that school," Hun Lao replied.
"I see," Ye Yunfei nodded in understanding.
*Rumble...*
At that moment, the enormous black furnace pierced through space, arriving directly above Ye Yunfei's head. It began expanding, aiming to suppress him.
Undeterred, Ye Yunfei simply charged forward, both hands tightly gripping the blood-red longblade. With a mighty leap, he hacked down toward the Prison Master.
This slash was a full-powered strike.
*Rumble...*
The colossal blood-red blade radiance surged forward, forcing the Prison Master back several steps.
After unleashing this slash, Ye Yunfei didn't hesitate for even an instant. Gripping the longblade with both hands, he unleashed another devastating chop.
"You brat! Are you truly trying to fight to the death?!"
Witnessing this frenzied rhythm of attacks, the Prison Master was both alarmed and enraged, shouting loudly.
"I'm not going crazy. I'm going to kill you!"
Ye Yunfei laughed loudly in response.
"Killing me won't be that easy! It is I who will kill you!"
The Prison Master pointed a finger, commanding the black furnace hovering above Ye Yunfei's head to unleash its terrifying energy and descend to crush Ye Yunfei's skull.
However, with a deafening metallic *clang*, the black furnace was forcefully knocked away, sent flying through the air.
"What happened?"
The Prison Master was startled. He had clearly seen his own treasured black furnace on the verge of crushing Ye Yunfei's head, but something had suddenly repelled it. His gaze shot upward toward Ye Yunfei's head, but he saw nothing.
Because it was the Dream Incense that had knocked away the black furnace—a presence his strength could not perceive.
This was one of the Dream Incense's peculiar traits. Once ignited, those lacking sufficient power couldn't see it.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!...*
Like a man possessed, Ye Yunfei gripped the longblade with both hands, hacking out slash after slash. This fighting style was extremely energy-intensive, something most cultivators would never dare employ.
But to slay this Prison Master, Ye Yunfei couldn't care less about energy consumption.
While Ye Yunfei raged in his assault, the Nine Divine Beasts pushed the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, and the Blood Clan Clone, gripping its blood-soaked longsword, likewise unleashed their own frenzied attacks.
"Hahaha! Truly, a hero emerges from the youth!"
The green-robed elder watched Ye Yunfei charge into the fight, pausing briefly in surprise. Then, witnessing this mad offensive, his eyes filled with admiration and he roared with laughter.
