"We'll join forces and forcefully suppress this fellow's Soul Body. Then, we'll find an opportunity to slowly refine and absorb him."
Seeing the Sovereign Gods rapidly closing in on him from a distance, Ye Yunfei said to Huang Shang.
Next, Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang worked together, each employing their own secret sealing arts. They forcefully sealed the heavily wounded Soul Body of this Initial Sovereign God, then collected all the scattered flesh, blood, and bone fragments he had left across the area of space.
Then, Ye Yunfei's figure blurred as he charged towards a particular direction.
An Initial Sovereign God was charging head-on in that direction, murderous intent radiating as he came straight for Ye Yunfei.
"Kid, hand over that longsword in your possession, and perhaps I can guarantee your safety," the Initial Sovereign God shouted, his gaze greedy as it fixed on the sword in Ye Yunfei's hand.
"You want my longsword? Come and take it then!" Ye Yunfei sped up, rushing towards him even faster, while raising the sword and shaking it lightly with a smile.
"Really?" the Initial Sovereign God couldn't help feeling overjoyed upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Of course it's real. But you'll need to rely on your own ability to take it."
Just how fast were Ye Yunfei's movement techniques? Combined with the Initial Sovereign God's own swift speed, the two quickly closed the distance, on the verge of colliding.
BOOM!
Ye Yunfei suddenly raised his longsword. Billions of dazzling, brilliant sword qi radiated outwards as he sent a single slash forward.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei employed Mind Reading Art to interfere with the thoughts and intentions of this Initial Sovereign God, causing his speed to immediately drop and a look of hesitation to appear on his face.
BOOM!
A thick pillar of sword light materialized, cutting towards the front of the Initial Sovereign God.
"What terrifying swordplay!" Sensing the dreadful sword path energy and sword path laws contained within that sword light, the Initial Sovereign God paled in fright.
An ancient, simple-looking great seal appeared in front of him in response. This great seal was carved with all sorts of mysterious, obscure ancient runes. Once activated, these runes all flew up into the air, rushing forward to block the incoming sword light.
KA-CHAK!
However, with a single cracking sound, all the runes were shattered. Then, that ancient great seal was struck by the longsword and sent flying backwards.
"How is this possible?" The Initial Sovereign God stared in disbelief. This great seal was one of the most powerful treasures in his possession. He had relied on it to defeat many beings of his own level before. He never imagined it would be broken through by Ye Yunfei with a single sword strike.
"I'm definitely not this kid's opponent." The Initial Sovereign God thought about how the earlier Initial Sovereign God had his physical body shattered and his Soul Body severely wounded by Ye Yunfei. Now, seeing his own powerful treasure instantly destroyed, he suddenly understood that he stood no chance against this youngster before him.
He was a cautious person. Seeing the situation turning bad, he dared not continue fighting Ye Yunfei. With a wave of his hand, he flung out over a dozen Sovereign God level magic treasures, activating them one after another to bombard Ye Yunfei.
Then, employing an advanced movement technique, he turned and fled.
"This fellow is quite clever," Ye Yunfei couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing this Sovereign God actually turn tail and run. A full-fledged Sovereign God, scared off by a single move of his—how decisive.
Gazing at the other Sovereign Gods still swarming towards him continuously from a distance, Ye Yunfei didn't give chase. Instead, he executed his movement technique and shot towards the distance.
Ye Yunfei knew he could handle one Initial Sovereign God with relative ease. But if he had to face over a dozen of them at once, it would require significant effort.
Right now, Ye Yunfei only wanted to find a new Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon to delve into once more, to see if he could further raise his sword path level.
He had already comprehended the sword technique inheritances obtained from within the longsword earlier. But when it came to improving his cultivation strength, Ye Yunfei was never satisfied.
Since the earlier Initial Sovereign God had already fled in fear, Ye Yunfei had essentially opened a gap in their encirclement, and he charged towards the distance.
With his sword technique capabilities elevated, Ye Yunfei felt even his movement speed had improved somewhat.
"Look! There's a Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon over there! Let's hurry over!"
Just as those dozen or so Initial Sovereign Gods wanted to continue pursuing Ye Yunfei, a cry of pleasant surprise suddenly rang out in the distance.
Hearing this shout, everyone perked up and immediately began rushing towards that direction.
Ye Yunfei was naturally no exception. He immediately activated his movement technique and soon arrived at the location of that shout. Sure enough, ahead, a Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon had appeared. Dense masses of blade energy and sword qi continuously materialized, quickly forming two opposing factions that attacked each other.
Thus, another Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon had appeared.
Those beings who had rushed over from different directions sat cross-legged around this Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon, beginning their contemplation.
Ye Yunfei found a spot nearby, sat down cross-legged, summoned all his several thousand Clones from within the Phantom Tower, and began his own contemplation.
With his continuously improving sword path level, Ye Yunfei now found it much easier to grasp and comprehend the sword path inheritances contained within the sword qi from these Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomena.
The other dozen or so Initial Sovereign Gods arrived at this location. Gazing at the Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon before them, they hesitated momentarily before they too found spots around the periphery to sit down and start contemplating.
However, the positions these Initial Sovereign Gods chose were quite deliberate. They vaguely formed an encirclement around Ye Yunfei.
They intended to all besiege Ye Yunfei together once this Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon faded.
Ye Yunfei glanced at the dozen Initial Sovereign Gods vaguely encircling him and gave a cold smile. For now, he didn't intend to pay them any heed, continuing his contemplation instead.
This time, Ye Yunfei discovered his gains were far greater compared to his previous contemplation sessions on the Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomena. That was because he could now rapidly capture and quickly comprehend the sword technique inheritances contained within each strand of sword qi.
As time passed, Ye Yunfei felt his sword path level continuously rising.
"The original owner of this longsword you obtained had already fallen in that great war within the Sword Realm. So why would he appear in this battlefield and leave this sword here?" Hun Lao suddenly asked Ye Yunfei.
"It was probably his Clone, or a sword cultivator who inherited his sword path legacy, who brought this sword to this ancient battlefield to participate in the fighting," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and replied.
"Correct. Only those possibilities make sense. Besides, as a powerful expert, even after falling, he probably left many Clones behind. Or he himself had quite a few inheritors," Hun Lao nodded.
"Back then, it wasn't just one sword cultivator participating in the battles within this ancient battlefield. There should have been many, because up to now, I've obtained many different sword path inheritances," Ye Yunfei added.
For the time that followed, Ye Yunfei continued his contemplation.
Moreover, while contemplating, Ye Yunfei began paying attention to whether there were any other magical treasures within this Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon.
Not just Ye Yunfei—every single being was paying attention. After all, that previous Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon had produced a longsword, filling everyone's hearts with anticipation.
However, to everyone's disappointment, there seemed to be no treasure within the current Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon.
Finally, the Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomenon before them began to thin out.
"It seems this Blade Light Sword Shadow will end soon," someone said regretfully.
Truthfully, most people's gains in terms of sword or blade path inheritances from these Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomena were extremely limited. Some beings with weaker Soul Force Energy and comprehension ability might even gain nothing at all.
Only someone like Ye Yunfei, possessing powerful Soul Force Energy, two Soul Bodies, so many Soul Force stars, and so many Clones, could possibly obtain inheritances from those Blade Light Sword Shadow phenomena.
"Not bad. I've acquired quite a few relatively complete sword technique inheritances from this Blade Light Sword Shadow," Ye Yunfei nodded in satisfaction, watching the gradually fading phenomenon before him.
Then, Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to the surrounding Initial Sovereign Gods. At the same time, their gazes also turned towards Ye Yunfei.
"Kid, let's see where you can run now," a dozen or so Initial Sovereign Gods slowly stood up, one after another, each radiating murderous intent, their eyes sharp and piercing as they stared at Ye Yunfei. One of them spoke slowly.
Ye Yunfei stood up as well, his longsword held in his hand, a cold smile on his face.
"Cut the nonsense. If you want to fight, then come and fight." Ye Yunfei raised his longsword as he spoke.
"This kid is too insolent, too arrogant!" Ye Yunfei's provocative action instantly enraged the Initial Sovereign Gods.
A dozen Sovereign Gods dealing with a junior, and they still hadn't gained any advantage. On the contrary, one had fallen, and another had been scared away. This outcome made these Sovereign Gods feel utterly aggrieved.
But remembering how Ye Yunfei had just killed one Initial Sovereign God and scared away another, they felt a degree of wariness towards him in their hearts, so for a moment, none dared to make the first move.
"If you won't make a move, then I'll go first." Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of those dozen Initial Sovereign Gods, Ye Yunfei let out another cold laugh.
Then, raising his longsword, his figure blurred as he charged towards one of the Initial Sovereign Gods. With a single slash, a thick pillar of sword light instantly materialized.
"Kid, you're asking for death!" Seeing Ye Yunfei actively charge towards him to attack, that Initial Sovereign God was both shocked and furious. With a roar, a long spear appeared in his hand, which he thrust forward fiercely. Immediately, a wave of spear light surged forth like a torrential downpour, engulfing Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's longsword surged forward in a continuous slash. The sword light before the blade continuously expanded, instantly filling a large expanse of space.
The space ahead seemed to be split apart like tofu, the terrifying sword path energy and sword path laws contained within this thick pillar of sword light making the Initial Sovereign God feel incredibly uneasy.
"How is this possible? This kid's sword technique level is actually this strong! Could it be that even in a head-on fight, I'm not his match?"
The Initial Sovereign God desperately channeled all the energy within his body continuously into the long spear in his hand, exerting his full strength to block forward. Yet, at the same time, a strong sense of crisis arose within his heart.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Over a dozen magical treasures shot out from his body simultaneously, all activated at once, bombarding Ye Yunfei. Then, a multi-colored divine robe appeared on the surface of his body, protecting his flesh.
The next moment, with a DANG, the thick pillar of sword light collided with the long spear, sending a string of brilliant sparks flying.
Then, to his shock, the Initial Sovereign God discovered that the long spear in his hand was shaken so violently that it broke into two pieces on the spot.
Then, the longsword in Ye Yunfei's hand also cleaved towards his front, directly shattering all the magical treasures he had unleashed into explosions, before continuing with astonishing speed to slash onto his body.
