"Kid, what did you say?"
The Heavenly Gods of the Ziyang Sect were striding forward, surrounding the Dark Faction forces, when suddenly they saw an unfamiliar young man blocking their path, his face filled with contempt. Hearing his words left the dozens of Heavenly Gods momentarily stunned.
"Everyone, are we hearing things? This kid actually told us to get lost, and said if we don't, we'd lose the chance to get lost at all," one Heavenly God said to the others.
"That's exactly what he said. I suspect this kid's head is messed up, or he's that kind of clueless punk who's ignorant to an outrageous degree. Whatever the case, for trash like him, just slap him to death and be done with it. No need to waste our time," another Heavenly God nearby chimed in.
"This must be a punk desperate for attention, driven insane by the thought of showing off. Let me handle it. One slap should finish him off."
Another Heavenly God stepped forward, raising his palm high before swinging it down at Ye Yunfei.
The Heavenly God's palm rapidly expanded, transforming instantly into a gigantic hand that filled a swath of empty space, rumbling as it aimed directly at Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei stood unmoving, an expression of utter disdain on his face.
Given Ye Yunfei's current level of strength and realm, facing these ordinary Heavenly Gods was no different from facing a flock of little lambs.
Ye Yunfei stood there, hands clasped behind his back, watching that Heavenly God's palm descend upon him with a thundering force. He made no move whatsoever.
"Hahaha… Kid, I thought you were so tough. Now you know what real power is, huh? Suppressed by my energy until you can't even move, right? Do you regret it now? Showing off comes with a price, and that price is your life. Remember this lesson in your next life!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei remain motionless, that Heavenly God assumed Ye Yunfei was indeed immobilized by his energy. He found it laughable and let out a hearty laugh.
Witnessing this scene, the other Heavenly Gods of the Ziyang Sect also burst into laughter, feeling it was quite amusing to suddenly encounter such a head-scrambled punk.
It was at that moment that a powerful thought abruptly took root in the attacker's mind: he must not lay hands on this unfamiliar young man before him.
This thought was so intense that his movement halted instantly. The palm that was descending upon Ye Yunfei froze mid-air, unable to advance further.
Ye Yunfei extended his right hand, swift as lightning, directly plucking the Soul Body of this Heavenly God from his Soul Sea, sealing it instantly before sealing his physical body as well.
In less than the time it took to take a breath, Ye Yunfei had dealt with this Heavenly God.
At this moment, the other Heavenly Gods, who had just been laughing heartily, suddenly had their laughter cut short. Their expressions froze in place as they stared wide-eyed at Ye Yunfei, faces filled with disbelief. Some even wondered if they were hallucinating.
For a junior to deal with a Heavenly God in less than a breath was utterly astounding.
"Your turn."
Before the Ziyang Sect Heavenly Gods could react, Ye Yunfei took a light step and appeared in front of another Heavenly God.
Then Ye Yunfei repeated his technique, first controlling the Heavenly God's thoughts with his Mind Reading Art, then reaching into his Soul Sea, plucking out his Soul Body with one swift motion, before suppressing and sealing it.
Not long ago, during his secluded cultivation in the Colorless Abyss, Ye Yunfei's level of Soul Power Energy had risen dramatically. Now, the Mind Reading Art he executed was far more powerful than before, easily capable of dealing with Heavenly Gods.
"How is this possible?" Lü Dandan felt an overwhelming shock. What she was seeing felt somewhat unreal.
Although she was the Dark Queen and possessed decent strength herself, when facing a Heavenly God expert, even going all out wouldn't guarantee victory, let alone being able to suppress and seal a Heavenly God in an instant like Ye Yunfei.
"How can this be? How could his power have reached such heights? Is this real?" Lü Dandan watched as Ye Yunfei plucked the Soul Body of yet another Heavenly God — the third — from his Soul Sea, then suppressed and sealed it, all while appearing perfectly relaxed.
"A moment ago I was actually worried for him. I overthought it. He's still as outstanding as he always was. No, he's even more outstanding now than he was back then. It seems gold shines no matter where it goes."
After the initial wave of extreme shock passed, Lü Dandan finally began to accept the reality before her, a bitter smile involuntarily gracing her face.
"Back in the Eighth Void, I could never catch up to his footsteps. Never imagined that even now in the Third Void, I'm still far from catching up." Lü Dandan shook her head.
"Queen, who is this young master? How is his power so terrifying?" The other high-ranking members of the Dark Faction gathered around Lü Dandan watched as Ye Yunfei dispatched four Ziyang Sect Heavenly Gods in quick succession. It was as if a fierce tiger had charged into a flock of chicks — he was simply unstoppable.
"He's an old friend of mine," Lü Dandan replied.
"So he truly is the Queen's friend. This kind of monstrous young talent certainly has the qualifications to befriend our Dark Queen." Hearing Lü Dandan's words, the other Dark Faction executives nodded in agreement.
"Kid, just who are you?!" By this time, Ye Yunfei had sealed away the Soul Bodies and physical bodies of six or seven Ziyang Sect Heavenly Gods in rapid succession.
Seeing their companions being suppressed and sealed one after another by this bizarre and terrifying stranger, the remaining Ziyang Sect Heavenly Gods couldn't help but show expressions of horror, backing away one after another, for the strength Ye Yunfei displayed was truly dreadful.
"You don't need to know who I am. I already gave you a choice earlier. Since you refused to get lost, I have no choice but to take action myself. This was your choice; regretting it now is too late." Ye Yunfei said coldly.
Even as he spoke, Ye Yunfei moved with astonishing speed, appearing before another Ziyang Sect Heavenly God.
This Heavenly God had no intention of fighting. With a strange cry, he turned and fled.
For he was only a Initial Heavenly God. He had just seen with his own eyes Ye Yunfei easily handling Intermediate and Advanced Heavenly Gods. What chance did a mere Initial Heavenly God have?
But the moment this Initial Heavenly God turned, his thoughts were interfered with by Ye Yunfei. His body stiffened, and he stood there, unable to take a step.
"No! What am I doing?!" The Heavenly God was scared out of his wits, screaming internally.
In the next instant, his Soul Body was plucked from his Soul Sea by Ye Yunfei, and both his physical body and Soul Body were separately suppressed and sealed.
