"Young Master Ye, shall we enter the Tian Guang World Cluster now? I estimate the phenomenon of Blade Light Sword Shadow has likely already begun to appear," the Guhai Sect Master said.
Next, the Guhai Sect Master and Ye Yunfei led the members of the Guhai Sect into the Tian Guang World Cluster.
This was a relatively ordinary World Cluster, usually a bit quieter compared to others, but recently it had become extremely lively because a large number of foreign beings were continuously streaming into this World Cluster.
Not long after, a dark, inky-black spatial rift appeared in the void ahead. Even from afar, one could feel sharp strands of sword aura or saber aura occasionally slashing out from that spatial rift, their lethal force astonishing.
At this moment, many beings were carefully entering that spatial rift. Every being that walked in had to be wary of the unpredictable saber or sword auras slashing out from within.
Some relatively weaker beings, if not careful, would be struck by those saber or sword auras. At best, their physical bodies would be torn asunder; at worst, they would perish on the spot, their bodies and Soul Bodies ground into dust.
"This place is indeed full of tyrannical saber and sword auras. It seems the interior of this spatial rift is the Huan Jian Gu," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, the Huan Jian Gu is inside that spatial rift. Inside is a small space; it's actually a long-abandoned battlefield. The Blade Light Sword Shadow spectacle exists within that battlefield," the Guhai Sect Master said to Ye Yunfei, pointing at the dark, inky-black spatial rift ahead.
"Alright then, let's go in and have a look," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Then Ye Yunfei strode toward the spatial rift ahead.
The Guhai Sect Master quickly led his men to follow closely behind Ye Yunfei.
"Elder Grand Councilor, those are the members of the Guhai Sect. The young man walking at the front just killed many of our Song Clan members. And last time at the Guhai Sect headquarters, it was also this young man who forced our allied forces of four major powers to retreat. Otherwise, our combined army would have already wiped out the Guhai Sect," a man said, pointing at the Guhai Sect members to an elderly man, just as Ye Yunfei and the Guhai Sect were about to enter the spatial rift ahead and a group of people was walking into the Tian Guang World Cluster from outside.
This elder exuded a powerful aura. His gaze was sharp and he stood with his hands clasped behind his back; it was clear at a glance that his status and position were extraordinary.
"That young man is just a Heavenly God. Although achieving such a realm at such a young age is indeed remarkable for a young genius, for him to be able to fight against four Sovereign Gods simultaneously—is that really true?" This elder kept his hands behind his back as he watched Ye Yunfei's distant figure, his brows tightly furrowed, not entirely convinced.
"Elder Grand Councilor, it is indeed true. Because last time at the Guhai Sect headquarters, I saw it with my own eyes. At the time, many others from our Song Clan were also present as witnesses. That young man's actual combat power far exceeds his realm. Moreover, he has cultivated some extremely bizarre Soul Power martial arts that can affect other people's Soul Bodies, forcing them to act against their own will," the middle-aged man said.
"He actually cultivates such bizarre Soul Power martial arts? To achieve something like that, one would likely have to be one of those powerful experts from the Soul Race. Could he be from the Soul Race? But the Soul Race suffered heavy casualties and were nearly eradicated when they were hunted down by numerous major forces across our Chaotic Void Sea all those years ago. Afterwards, no one knew where they hid. For many years, they have been extremely cautious, rarely showing themselves, and certainly wouldn't dare cause trouble within the Chaotic Void Sea. Could it be that a reckless Soul Race member has now emerged and is helping the Guhai Sect?" The elder from the Song Clan said coldly.
"Immediately send messages to the other three forces. Gather our combined strength to look for an opportunity to surround and kill that young man and the Guhai Sect members. The Guhai Sect Master is also here. If we can kill him, it would be a massive blow to the Guhai Sect." The elder stood with hands clasped behind his back, looking at Ye Yunfei and the Guhai Sect Master, his gaze overflowing with intense killing intent.
"Elder Grand Councilor, I will immediately send word to the high-level members of the other three forces. I believe they will certainly join forces with our Song Clan to surround and kill that young man and the Guhai Sect members. Last time at the Guhai Sect headquarters, not only our Song Clan but the other three forces also suffered severe losses. They would definitely want to settle that score with the Guhai Sect," the middle-aged man said.
"Since that young man is so strange, we shouldn't act against him for now. Only move when we have sufficient manpower. Send a few people to monitor them first. We absolutely cannot let them escape." The Song Clan elder thought for a moment and said.
Following this elder's order, a dozen or so Song Clan members immediately began covertly tailing the Guhai Sect group.
At this time, Ye Yunfei, leading the Guhai Sect members, had already entered that spatial rift. Terrifying saber or sword auras frequently slashed toward them head-on.
Ye Yunfei, holding the Blood-Red Long Blade in his hand, deflected all the saber and sword auras coming straight at them.
This Blood-Red Long Blade was obtained by Ye Yunfei from the teacher of the Qiufeng Regiment leader. It was a high-grade magical artifact, incredibly tough, and also contained the saber dao energy and dao laws left behind by its several previous owners. Its power was stronger than that of artifacts of the same rank.
Now, in Ye Yunfei's hands, it was at the peak of its power.
Relying on this blade and his Saber Severs Yin-Yang technique, Ye Yunfei could directly face off against Sovereign Gods.
Clang, clang, clang...
Ye Yunfei walked ahead, continuously brandishing the Blood-Red Long Blade in his hand, repelling all the saber and sword auras slashing toward them.
"Young Master Ye's strength is truly too formidable!" The Guhai Sect Master led his people closely behind Ye Yunfei. Watching the power Ye Yunfei displayed, he felt both shocked and exhilarated.
Now, the Guhai Sect regarded Ye Yunfei as their patron. The stronger he displayed himself to be, the better it was for them.
Besides Ye Yunfei and the Guhai Sect entourage, many other beings were also continuously entering this massive spatial rift, walking toward the dark, inky-black space ahead.
"How is that possible? Look at that young man. He dares to block those saber and sword auras head-on, and seems so relaxed doing it."
"I've been watching him for a while. He acts as if he doesn't care about those saber and sword auras at all."
"How can a young man like this be so terrifyingly strong?"
...
Ye Yunfei's performance quickly drew the attention of some of the beings around, leading to murmurs.
"I think the main reason might be that long blade in his hands. It must be a formidable treasure."
Suddenly, someone's gaze locked onto the Blood-Red Long Blade in Ye Yunfei's hands, their eyes gleaming with greed as they spoke.
Immediately, others around also turned their gazes toward Ye Yunfei's Blood-Red Long Blade.
In everyone's view, Ye Yunfei was merely a young junior, yet he could so effortlessly handle the saber and sword auras slashing out from within. It was most likely reliant on that long blade in his hand, so many developed feelings of covetousness.
"Look at those Guhai Sect people following him. Even the Guhai Sect Master has come. Could this be a young genius groomed by the Guhai Sect? The Guhai Sect really went all out on nurturing him! They actually entrusted such a powerful magical artifact into the hands of a mere junior."
Someone recognized the identities of the Guhai Sect members following Ye Yunfei.
"The Guhai Sect is only a very ordinary force in our Third Void. Once such a force produces a talented young genius, they are bound to pile on resources, nurturing them with everything they have. So it's understandable that they would give this powerful artifact to that young man.
Probably they want to cultivate a monstrous genius who can then lead the entire Guhai Sect to grow and expand in the future. That sentiment is understandable.
But entrusting such a priceless treasure to a young man—if it gets stolen, that would be a huge loss."
Someone sneered as they spoke.
"A mere Guhai Sect gets their hands on such an artifact, and they dare to use it openly in front of everyone? Do they truly not fear someone snatching it?"
Another person spoke.
"Young Master Ye, be careful. Many people have already set their sights on the precious blade in your hand."
Upon hearing the whispered conversations of the beings around them, the Guhai Sect Master's expression immediately changed. Although he felt extremely angry, there were many beings around, and some of them were very strong. Therefore, he didn't make a public scene but discreetly sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"No need to worry. These fellows are not qualified to seize my things."
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze over those ill-intentioned beings murmuring nearby, then gave a cold chuckle and a disdainful smile.
Ye Yunfei's words were immediately heard by the beings around him.
"Such an ignorant and arrogant young punk. Young and naive, does he think getting a treasure blade makes him invincible? Wait until someone seizes it; he'll be bawling his eyes out."
Immediately someone fixed their eyes on Ye Yunfei and sneered mockingly.
Right after that person finished speaking, Ye Yunfei's gaze swept over toward him.
This was an Advanced Heavenly God.
Suddenly, a peculiar thought sprouted in this Advanced Heavenly God's mind: he should kneel in Ye Yunfei's direction and kowtow in apology.
"No! I can't do that! Why am I having such thoughts? Damn it!"
The Advanced Heavenly God's face instantly turned deathly pale as he desperately tried to suppress the intense and bizarre thought rising in his heart. Immediately after, he saw a flash of blood-red saber light streak past, bisecting his body at the waist.
"Aahh…!"
This speaking being stared wide-eyed as his upper and lower halves separated, his internal organs and intestines spilling out messily. Excruciating pain made him shriek on the spot.
Even more terrifying were the many blood-red strands of saber qi entangled within his flesh, continuing to constantly destroy the vitality of his body.
"Brat, you have a death wish! How dare you harm someone from our Tian Jing Sect!"
A tall elder with a ruddy face standing nearby flew into a rage.
