Suddenly, the nine golden Jiao simultaneously opened their mouths, spewing forth thick pillars of golden energy that shot towards the four powerful figures.
In just an instant, the various attacks of the four experts were all destroyed by the nine massive golden beams.
"These nine brutes are too strong!"
The four experts, feeling the force of the nine golden Jiao's attack, were startled and simultaneously retreated a good distance, scrambling to avoid the thick golden beams.Though they had escaped danger, the faces of the four experts began to pale slightly, standing there breathing heavily.Even the first exchange had forced them to retreat.If they hadn't dodged in time, they would have been sent flying and possibly injured by now.
"The strength of these nine Jiao is terrifying! They seem far stronger than the Jiao described in legends! What is going on?" said one of the experts, his voice filled with confusion.Actually, there were many legends about Jiao in the world, and Jiao would occasionally emerge, so these Advanced Sovereign Gods had some understanding of their strength.But clearly, the power of these nine golden Jiao before their eyes exceeded their expectations.The combined strike of nine Jiao had actually forced back these four Advanced Sovereign Gods on the spot.
"Everyone, be careful. These nine Jiao are difficult to deal with," one of the Advanced Sovereign Gods said gravely.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The four Advanced Sovereign Gods all summoned their magical treasures simultaneously, then strode forward once more to launch a violent assault on the nine Jiao.
Rumble!
Suddenly, one of the golden Jiao swung its massive, mountain-like tail, rolling forward like a crashing wave.
Rumble!
Immediately, large swathes of space instantly collapsed and disintegrated, transforming into roiling fragments of space-time.
"Too powerful!"
Feeling the terrifying energy contained within the striking tail of the golden Jiao, the four Advanced Sovereign Gods paled in fright, then retreated together, not daring to confront the attack head-on.
"Too terrifying! Each one of these nine Jiao possesses such fearsome strength. In a one-on-one fight, any one of us might not be able to defeat a single Jiao." At this moment, the four Advanced Sovereign Gods finally had an intuitive grasp of the power possessed by these nine golden Jiao.
Then, the four experts stood there, their expressions flickering between gloomy and uneasy as they watched the nine immense golden Jiao before them.Just now, the attack of a single Jiao had been enough to force all four of them back simultaneously.If all nine Jiao charged forward together, they would be even less of a match.
"What should we do?" one of the Advanced Sovereign Gods asked the other three.
The other three Advanced Sovereign Gods remained silent.
"Clearly we are no match. If we stubbornly engage, we'll be the ones suffering in the end. Let's retreat from here first, gather more helpers, and then come back to settle the score with these nine Jiao," said one of the Advanced Sovereign Gods after a moment's pause.
"Very well. Let's leave to find help," the other three Advanced Sovereign Gods nodded in agreement.
Then, the four Advanced Sovereign Gods simultaneously turned and performed movement techniques, instantly retreating into the distance.
"These fellows are quite decisive, leaving as soon as they realize the situation is unfavorable," Hun Lao couldn't help but remark with a laugh.
"Excellent! We're finally safe," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said with a sigh of relief, seeing the four Advanced Sovereign Gods turn and depart.
"Thank you for your assistance, Elder!" Ye Yunfei performed a deep bow towards the stone coffin and said clearly.
"Young Master Ye, no need for such courtesy. To tell the truth, I was once a member of the Light Faction myself. Since those fellows from the Guardian Faction have come here, it's only right that I teach them a little lesson," a voice transmitted from within the coffin.
"I've finally sensed some of the aura of Elder Lu from back then," Huang Lao suddenly spoke to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, I have also finally detected traces of Elder Lu's aura from that stone coffin," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Young Master Ye, please come inside," at this moment, Ye Yunfei received the transmitted message again.
Then, Ye Yunfei felt himself instantly enveloped by a powerful teleportation energy, and transportation began.The next moment, Ye Yunfei found himself in a world of pure white mist. As far as the eye could see, there was only roiling, billowing white mist everywhere.
"It seems this is the inside of that coffin. There are extremely profound restrictive formations here. I actually can't perceive anything here; I can only rely on my own eyes to see," Hun Lao immediately transmitted to Ye Yunfei in an astonished tone.
"Yes, I also can hardly use my Soul Power energy to sense anything here. I can only rely on my eyes to see," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"The space here is very special. Although I can come and go freely through most spaces in the world, I suspect it would be very difficult for me to escape from this space," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also transmitted to Ye Yunfei with a shocked voice.
"Young Master Ye, have you been well since we last met?" Just as Ye Yunfei was feeling astonished, a figure slowly emerged from the white mist ahead and walked towards him, a gentle smile on his face.
Ye Yunfei focused his gaze and saw that it was indeed Elder Lu from the Light Faction of the Eighth Void from before.In fact, Ye Yunfei hadn't interacted much with this Elder Lu, but as a Light Faction Elder, Ye Yunfei was still quite familiar with his appearance and aura.
"Greetings, Elder Lu," Ye Yunfei immediately said respectfully.This Elder Lu had gifted Ye Yunfei some items when he left the Colorless Abyss before, and now he had just repelled those four Advanced Sovereign Gods, which counted as a kindness to Ye Yunfei, so Ye Yunfei was very grateful.
"Young Master Ye, please don't be so formal. Let's sit and talk," Elder Lu waved his sleeve, and immediately a stone table and two stone chairs appeared in front of Ye Yunfei. A pot of tea and two cups were on the table.Elder Lu gestured for Ye Yunfei to sit, then personally poured a cup of tea for him. Ye Yunfei quickly took his seat.
"Young Master Ye, you have matured greatly over these years. Truly, youth brings forth heroes!" Elder Lu looked at Ye Yunfei with an appreciative glint in his eyes.
"Elder Lu, you overpraise me," Ye Yunfei hurriedly replied.
"I can't sense his true cultivation level or strength at all. He is definitely not a Sovereign God, but a being of an even higher realm," Hun Lao transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, what is the current situation in the Eighth Void?" Elder Lu asked Ye Yunfei.Ye Yunfei immediately recounted the general state of affairs in the Eighth Void.
"So the Guardian Faction branch in the Eighth Void has already been eliminated. You have done very well, Young Master Ye. When I left, I had deduced that you were most likely the greatest nemesis of the Eighth Void's Guardian Faction. Indeed it came to pass," Elder Lu couldn't help but smile and nod after listening.
"However, the Guardian Faction in the Eighth Void is merely a branch. To completely eradicate the Guardian Faction as an organization, one would need to eliminate their headquarters and wipe out all Guardian Faction members across all eight voids," Elder Lu continued.
"Yes, the true power of the Guardian Faction is very strong, and their organization vast. Wiping out this force entirely would be extremely difficult," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"The Guardian Faction is determined to truly rule over the Chaotic Void Sea. They will surely bring immense calamities to the Chaotic Void Sea in the future. Young Master Ye, the enmity between you and the Guardian Faction is far from over. You will continue to face this organization," Elder Lu said.
"I understand. My grudge with the Guardian Faction is too deep to be resolved. The Guardian Faction will not easily let me go, and whenever I have the chance, I will certainly cause trouble for them. So it has already become an enmity that will end only with death," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Back when my Clone was part of the Light Faction in the Eighth Void, I also fought many battles against members of the Guardian Faction. Thus, I harbor little goodwill for this organization. Young Master Ye, strive hard. I have a premonition that you will one day destroy the Guardian Faction," Elder Lu said.
"Elder, I will do my utmost," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Elder, the Guardian Faction harbors a wolfish ambition, determined to rule over the entire Chaotic Void Sea and enslave all living beings. It can be said they are the public enemy of all life in the Chaotic Void Sea. Elder, your strength is profound. Why not step forward, raise a rallying call, and lead everyone in opposing the Guardian Faction?" Ye Yunfei ventured.
This Elder Lu before him was undoubtedly an extremely powerful individual. If he could step forward to oppose the Guardian Faction, their side would gain another supreme powerhouse. Ye Yunfei wished to try and persuade Elder Lu.
"No. I do not belong to this part of the void. I am merely a passerby and do not wish to involve myself too deeply in the karma of this void. However, our meeting this time can be considered a sort of fate. Very well, I shall bestow upon you some resources, treating it as my indirect method of confronting the Guardian Faction," Elder Lu shook his head after hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Young Master Ye, your talent is high, your comprehension outstanding, and your fortune quite favorable. Your current shortcoming is that your strength is not yet sufficient. I will gift you some cultivation techniques, secret arts, as well as cultivation resources. I believe they will allow your strength to improve within a short time," Elder Lu continued.
After speaking, five spatial rings appeared before Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, the contents within these five spatial rings have been specially selected with your current cultivation level and strength in mind," Elder Lu told Ye Yunfei.
"Additionally, Young Master Ye, I will now assist you in comprehending more Great Dao Laws," Elder Lu spoke again. As he said this, he extended a finger and tapped Ye Yunfei's forehead.
Before Ye Yunfei could react to what was happening, a boom resounded in his mind as if something had exploded.
"What place is this?" The next moment, Ye Yunfei found himself in an unfamiliar world. Before him sat over a dozen children who looked very young.They all sat beside desks, open books resting on the tabletop in front of them.
