‘Is he the young man you spoke of, the one who wants to help our Guhai Sect?
Though he is indeed a rare young genius, achieving Advanced Heavenly God level at such a young age, his head seems a bit… not all there. He’s excessively arrogant, likely a youngster fond of showing off.
If he truly is an Advanced Heavenly God, he could certainly play a role and bolster our Guhai Sect’s combat power. But to say he will protect our Guhai Sect… that’s laughably ridiculous.’
The leader of the Guhai Sect shook his head as he spoke.
‘Kid, I think you’d better start thinking about how to protect yourself!’
Just at that moment, a wild laugh rang out, and an Intermediate Heavenly God shot into the air, charging towards Ye Yunfei with great strides.
Ye Yunfei stood there calmly, his hands clasped behind his back, watching impassively as the Heavenly God charged towards him.
Because Ye Yunfei had constantly suppressed his energy aura, even the four Sovereign Gods leading the Four-Sect Allied Army hadn’t immediately discerned his true realm and power.
In moments, the Intermediate Heavenly God reached Ye Yunfei. Ye Yunfei remained standing in place, hands behind his back, giving no reaction.
‘Kid! You dare act in front of me? Die!’
Seeing Ye Yunfei’s utterly unperturbed face, completely ignoring his presence, the Intermediate Heavenly God was engulfed in soaring killing intent. He pulled out a green long whip and lashed it fiercely towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei willed it, and activated his Mind Reading Art.
The Intermediate Heavenly God faltered, his movements stopping. The whip intended for Ye Yunfei hung frozen mid-air. His face filled with confusion; he didn’t know why he had suddenly halted.
‘Not good!’
Suddenly, this Intermediate Heavenly God saw Ye Yunfei’s fist continuously enlarging, as it already struck towards his person. By the time he reacted and wanted to resist, it was too late.
Ye Yunfei’s fist landed on his body, punching him and sending him soaring high into the air. Then, with a single motion, Ye Yunfei thrust his hand forth, yanked the Heavenly God’s Soul Body out from its Soul Sea, then suppressed and sealed it.
‘How is this possible?’
The higher-ups of both sides were dumbfounded by the scene. Only the two Heavenly Gods of the Guhai Sect who had accompanied Ye Yunfei back weren’t too surprised, as they had already witnessed Ye Yunfei’s terrifying combat prowess earlier.
‘No wonder he’s so arrogant. He truly has some ability.’
One of the four Sovereign Gods of the Four-Sect Allied Army said with a gloomy face.
‘Kid, I’ll kill you.’
An Advanced Heavenly God suddenly stepped out from the crowd, charging towards Ye Yunfei.
At this time, Ye Yunfei stood at the very center of the battlefield, with a large group of True Gods and Void Gods clustered behind him, making him incredibly conspicuous.
Most combat on the battlefield had ceased. The forces of both sides were focusing on the situation around Ye Yunfei.
Because the situation surrounding Ye Yunfei was simply too bizarre – a large group of True Gods and Void Gods from the Four-Sect Allied Army were actually following behind a strange young man.
‘Dammit!
What are they doing? Why have they joined this stranger of unknown origin? Did that kid drug their minds with something?’
The higher-ups of the four factions looked at the True Gods and Void Gods behind Ye Yunfei, all of them both alarmed and furious.
These higher-ups kept transmitting Sound Transmission messages to those behind Ye Yunfei – commands, threats, inquiries, and pleas – attempting to make these True Gods and Void Gods return to their original faction’s ranks. But there was no response whatsoever.
‘What kind of magic has that kid used on our people?’
The higher-ups of the four factions were nearly frantic with rage.
Because the number of these True Gods and Void Gods was significant, and they represented the future hope of every faction.
To deal with the Guhai Sect, these four factions had dispatched their elites. If this batch of True Gods and Void Gods truly betrayed them, it would be a great loss to each faction.
At that moment, the Advanced Heavenly God had already charged to Ye Yunfei’s front, tightly gripping a long spear in both hands, murderous aura radiating.
Ye Yunfei remained as before, hands clasped behind his back, not evading, and not making any move whatsoever, standing motionless.
‘You dare still act before me? Die!’
Seeing Ye Yunfei still wear an expression of utter contempt while facing him, the Advanced Heavenly God was incensed.
He raised his spear high with both hands and fiercely thrust it towards Ye Yunfei. In that instant, the sky was filled with overwhelming spear afterimages.
Ye Yunfei willed it. The Advanced Heavenly God suddenly froze where he stood.
Because a powerful thought had spawned in his mind – to stop his attack.
Though it was only for an instant, Ye Yunfei’s speed was extremely fast. He thrust his hand into the Heavenly God’s Soul Sea and pulled out his Soul Body.
Just like that, this fiercely murderous and aggressive Advanced Heavenly God was instantly suppressed and sealed by Ye Yunfei, utterly powerless to resist.
‘How is this possible?’
Witnessing this, both sides’ forces were shocked, finding it inconceivable.
Because they hadn’t seen Ye Yunfei release any powerful energy or execute some superior technique. From start to finish, he’d just stood there. When his opponent came before him, he simply reached out and grabbed, yanking the opponent’s Soul Body from their Soul Sea before sealing both Soul Body and physical form.
‘What’s going on here? Why would these Heavenly Gods allow that kid to grab their Soul Bodies? They won’t resist?’
‘That kid is so young. Even if his strength is formidable, it should still be limited. So why do those Heavenly Gods seem utterly powerless before him? What’s going on here?’
...
While feeling shocked, everyone was also filled with questions.
‘Kid, release our people immediately. If you do, I might consider not holding you responsible. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being unkind.’
At this moment, the four Sovereign Gods of the Four-Sect Allied Army, seeing Ye Yunfei wield such methods, were also greatly astonished.
Because even they couldn’t see through just what kind of technique Ye Yunfei had used to suppress and seal the Heavenly Gods on their side.
Adding to that were the many True Gods and Void Gods who betrayed them without reason and followed this unfamiliar youth, it all made them feel astonished, confused, and, simultaneously, develop a deep wariness towards Ye Yunfei.
‘Everyone, what’s going on here?’ one Sovereign God asked the other three.
‘I think it’s possible this kid has cultivated an incredibly bizarre Soul Art. That’s precisely how he’s controlling or suppressing our people.’
The four Sovereign Gods thought for a moment before one voiced his speculation.
‘That’s quite possible.’
Hearing his words, the other three’s hearts stirred.
‘In that case, let’s turn his own method against him. All four of us shall unleash Soul Arts to settle this kid.’
So said one Sovereign God.
The next moment… Rumble…
The four Sovereign Gods simultaneously unleashed their Soul Power, casting their most formidable Soul Arts towards Ye Yunfei’s Soul Sea.
In an instant, vast, billowing waves of Soul Power, like raging seas and pounding waves, rolled across the sky and besieged Ye Yunfei.
‘Just four low-level Sovereign Gods, and you dare use Soul Arts against me.’
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
Ye Yunfei had long since possessed Sovereign God-level Soul Power. Not long ago, during his secluded cultivation in the Colorless Abyss, not only had his Soul Power level risen significantly, he’d also cultivated several sophisticated Soul Arts passed down by the two elders there.
Ye Yunfei willed it. Five long spears materialized before his head.
These five spears were all condensed from pure Soul Power energy. With a loud hum, they simultaneously pierced through space, appearing respectively before the four Sovereign Gods.
Two spears appeared before one Sovereign God.
Sensing the terrifying aura of Soul Power energy radiating from the spears before them, the four Sovereign Gods were startled. They hurriedly retracted the Soul Power energy they’d been launching towards Ye Yunfei, using it to protect their own Soul Seas.
The four Sovereign Gods’ combined attack on Ye Yunfei was instantly shattered. Despite this, those five spears still forcefully invaded the four Sovereign Gods’ Soul Seas, attacking their Soul Bodies.
‘Too terrifying!’
The four Sovereign Gods’ faces changed dramatically. They could sense these spears posed a dreadful threat to their Soul Bodies.
Just then, a powerful thought was born in the minds of these four Sovereign Gods: to give up resisting, allowing these spears to attack their Soul Bodies.
As soon as this thought emerged, the faces of the four Sovereign Gods changed drastically, and they retreated repeatedly.
They then activated Soul Power treasures within their Soul Seas to block the assault.
‘What’s going on here?
My own thoughts were actually interfered with,’ one Sovereign God transmitted to the other three.
‘Mine too. I don’t know why, but I just now gave birth to the thought of wanting to give up resistance. That’s absolutely abnormal.
Could it be this kid interfered with our thoughts? How can he have such terrifying means?’
Another Sovereign God spoke up.
The four Sovereign Gods retreated a good distance, narrowly blocking the attacks of the Soul Power spears. Then, all looked at Ye Yunfei with wary expressions.
‘Kid, just who are you? Why interfere with the matters of our Four-Sect Allied Army?’
One Sovereign God looked at Ye Yunfei as he asked.
‘Enough nonsense. You have only two choices. The first: get lost immediately. The second: I’ll make you get lost.
Of course, if you don’t fear death, I won’t mind killing every last one of you.’
Ye Yunfei, hands clasped behind his back, stated coolly.
Facing four Sovereign Gods, Ye Yunfei remained utterly calm from start to finish, even appearing somewhat dismissive.
‘Everyone, what do you think we should do now?
This kid’s too bizarre. Do we continue fighting him?’
The four Sovereign Gods looked at Ye Yunfei, their expressions shifting uncertainly, momentarily unable to decide.
‘We only have two choices. First, join forces to deal with this kid. Second, withdraw first and wait until we ascertain his background before making further moves.’
Another Sovereign God transmitted.
‘However, when we deal with this kid, those guys from the Guhai Sect will definitely seize the chance to act against us. At that point, we can’t guarantee victory.’
Yet another Sovereign God transmitted.
In fact, these four Sovereign Gods were all rather unsettled by Ye Yunfei’s bizarre methods.
‘But we, the Four-Sect Allied Army, came here in force, confident of victory today; we were going to exterminate the Guhai Sect. To return empty-handed now… once news spreads, our four factions will likely become a laughingstock.’
The four Sovereign Gods pondered for a moment before one spoke up.
‘Alright then, let’s test this kid once more. If he’s truly exceptionally bizarre, we’ll temporarily retreat and wait to uncover his background before finding a way to deal with him. If he’s all bark and no bite, we’ll join forces to kill him.’
So said a Sovereign God.
‘Agreed. Let’s test him again.’
The other three Sovereign Gods all nodded.
The next moment… Boom!
The four Sovereign Gods simultaneously released their energy pressure, condensing it into four massive energy hands. They swept towards Ye Yunfei from four different angles.
The power of an energy hand condensed by a Sovereign God was naturally extraordinarily terrifying. The surroundings of these four energy hands swirled with violent energy tempests, and all manner of bizarre and grotesque scenes materialized within their palms. It looked as if these weren’t four massive hands, but four separate worlds.
