"I advise you to stop running around. No matter which direction you flee, the result will be the same."
One of the four powerful experts chasing closely behind them sneered upon seeing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm change direction again, assuming it was acting desperately without regard for direction in its panic.
"I must say, the speed of this Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm is truly astounding. It has actually managed to flee for so long under our pursuit. Truly worthy of being a legendary spatial beast," another expert spoke, his gaze fixed fervently on the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Legend says Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworms excel in spatial techniques and are born with many spatial race inheritances. If we could obtain the spatial secret arts of their clan from this creature, that would be quite a splendid harvest," yet another expert chimed in.
Hearing this, the other three experts' spirits lifted, and their gazes upon the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm grew even more intense and covetous.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm shot towards the direction of the recent Sound Transmission at its utmost speed. Continuously traversing through space, moments later, a specific location ahead suddenly erupted with a sky-full of dazzling golden light, bathing that stretch of the void in a sacred, resplendent golden glow.
Following that, a shocking scene unfolded ahead: nine colossal golden Jiaos lay prostrate at that location. Floating quietly amidst them was a stone coffin that appeared utterly ordinary, emitting not the slightest trace of aura.
"What is this…" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm halted. Ye Yunfei immediately emerged from the Phantom Tower, his gaze filled with shock as he observed the nine golden Jiaos and the seemingly plain and unremarkable stone coffin.
"Isn't this the same coffin that was in the Colorless Abyss before?" Hun Lao's voice rang out immediately, filled with astonishment.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should indeed be that giant stone coffin. At the time, it was these nine golden Jiaos that pulled that stone coffin out of the Colorless Abyss," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"That's right, Master. I remember very clearly. Back in the Colorless Abyss, I watched with my own eyes as these nine golden Jiaos pulled that stone coffin away. Moreover, Elder Lu from the Bright Faction was inside that stone coffin at the time and left with it. That Elder Lu even gave you some gifts before he departed," Hu Miao chimed in, nodding repeatedly.
"I truly never expected to see that stone coffin from the Colorless Abyss here again," Ye Yunfei said in amazement, looking at the nine enormous Jiaos and the seemingly ordinary stone coffin that didn't even emit the slightest aura.
"What is that?" The four pursuing experts arrived at this moment. When they saw the nine massive Jiaos in the void ahead and the stone coffin surrounded by them, expressions of shock also appeared on their faces.
"Just what is inside that giant stone coffin?" The four experts immediately released their Soul Power energies, probing towards the giant stone coffin.
"How is this possible? With my current strength, I actually cannot sense what's inside that coffin," one expert soon uttered in astonishment.
"The auras of these nine Jiaos are formidable. Although that stone coffin looks plain, it is definitely not ordinary. It seems a highly sophisticated prohibition shrouds its surface. Even we cannot perceive through it," another expert spoke gravely.
"True. I also cannot sense the situation within," the other two experts also revealed shocked expressions.
It had to be understood, they were all Sovereign Gods, and Advanced Sovereign Gods at that. Forget a mere coffin, even a vast world should be within the scope of their perception.
"Young Master Ye, do not worry. With me here, they cannot harm you." Just at this moment, the previous Sound Transmission sounded again, addressing Ye Yunfei.
"Senior, could you be Elder Lu?" Hearing the voice, a sudden thought struck Ye Yunfei. He then cautiously sent a Sound Transmission in return.
"One could say yes, one could say no. Elder Lu was merely a Clone of mine, forged for worldly cultivation. Or perhaps, Elder Lu was a part of me. Now, there is no longer such a figure as 'Elder Lu'." The voice replied.
"So that's how it is." Hearing the voice, Ye Yunfei roughly understood the situation.
"Legend has it that some powerful experts of ancient times, upon reaching a certain realm, would divide their true body, transforming it into a certain number of Clones, each entering different worlds or different Cycles of Samsara to be reborn and live mortal lives. These different Clones, in different worlds, experience varied lives and attain unique insights. Ultimately, all Clones separated from the main body return. Then the main body would have experienced numerous different existences. This cultivation method is known as 'Worldly Cultivation.' Of course, only those genuine great powers who have reached an extremely high realm would be qualified to undertake Worldly Cultivation. Ordinary beings simply do not possess such heaven-defying means. Could it be that this Elder Lu's true body is one of those great powers capable of Worldly Cultivation?" Upon hearing that Sound Transmission, Hun Lao spoke to Ye Yunfei in a voice full of awe.
"Worldly Cultivation? Such an unusual cultivation method actually exists?" Ye Yunfei was slightly astonished by Hun Lao's words.
"If this senior is really that formidable, then we need not fear," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said, glancing back at the four experts who had already caught up.
"That stone coffin is definitely not ordinary. Here's the plan: let's deal with this brat first, then see if we can investigate that stone coffin. Also, the strength of those nine golden dragons is terrifying. We can pool our efforts later to see if we can capture and take them back for taming. If successful, we'll have gained several powerful battle beasts in the future." After scrutinizing the nine golden Jiaos and the giant stone coffin for a while, one of the experts spoke.
"Good. We'll settle this brat first." The other three experts voiced their agreement.
The four experts then turned their gazes towards Ye Yunfei and began closing in step by step.
Ye Yunfei immediately retrieved his long sword and saber, assuming a guarded stance. A phantom emperor's image materialized behind him, manifesting an Imperial Domain. Simultaneously, an Incense of Dreams manifested above his head, ignited directly, releasing wispy tendrils of smoke.
"Young Master Ye, leave this to me." Just as Ye Yunfei prepared for battle, the Sound Transmission rang out again.
Then, a golden bridge appeared, instantly extending to land beneath Ye Yunfei's feet. It lifted Ye Yunfei and carried him back to the side of the nine Jiaos in the blink of an eye.
Boom!...
Ye Yunfei immediately felt the terrifying energy pressure radiating from the nine golden Jiaos. Vast and mighty golden energy surged like a golden ocean, rolling and churning, causing the surrounding void to twist and distort incessantly.
"These nine golden Jiaos possess a dreadfully terrifying blood-and-energy aura," Hun Lao transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes. The original bloodlines of these nine golden Jiaos are very high-grade," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Since cultivating the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Flesh Art, Ye Yunfei had become extremely sensitive to the original bloodlines of various living beings throughout the world, capable of accurately discerning the different grades of racial bloodlines.
"What is the meaning of this?" The four experts were startled to see Ye Yunfei suddenly carried away from them on a golden bridge.
"What trick is that brat playing?" The four experts watched Ye Yunfei with doubt and confusion.
If it weren't for the overwhelmingly terrifying energy pressure emanating from the nine colossal golden dragons, they would have already rushed over to attack Ye Yunfei.
Furthermore, the four experts were shocked to discover that the energy pressure released by the nine Jiaos suddenly shifted, pressing down upon their location, seemingly targeting them intentionally.
"What in the world is going on? Are these nine Jiaos deliberately protecting that brat?" The four experts were all bewildered and uneasy.
"In that case, let's deal with these nine Jiaos first, and see what's hidden within that giant stone coffin," one expert declared through gritted teeth.
Although the nine Jiaos exerted immense pressure on them, they were, after all, Advanced Sovereign Gods. They could not possibly be cowed just like that. In this void, even within the eight void fragments of the Chaotic Void Sea, Advanced Sovereign Gods were considered notable, ranked experts. A mere coffin was not enough to scare them away.
"Let's make our move! When dealing with these nine Jiaos, it would be best if we could capture them and take them back for taming. Legend says golden Jiaos possess a trace of genuine dragon bloodline along with some dragon clan inheritances, giving them immense developmental potential," another Sovereign God spoke up.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Having made their decision, the four Advanced Sovereign Gods simultaneously took a step forward, unleashing their own energy pressure.
Four powerful surges of energy soared heavenward, immediately causing this expansive void to tremble ceaselessly.
The four Advanced Sovereign Gods stepped forward, one stride at a time.
Swish...
Numerous Great Dao Law chains manifested around their bodies, shimmering densely like countless serpents surging forward relentlessly.
"These four truly have guts, daring to take action!" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but exclaim.
"They are Advanced Sovereign Gods. Of course, they have great confidence in their own strength," Hun Lao remarked.
At that moment, the four experts had already drawn close to the nine golden Jiaos.
The stone coffin was surrounded and nestled in the center of the nine golden Jiaos.
Anyone wishing to approach and inspect that stone coffin would have to get past the nine Jiaos first.
"Let's do it!" Slightly hesitating before the nine massive golden Jiaos, one of the experts spoke grimly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Instantly, the four experts unleashed their most devastating moves, erupting with formidable assaults aimed directly at the nine golden Jiaos.
