"The powers of the Blade Realm will certainly pursue and hunt down the inheritor of our Sword World now. It was hard enough for our Sword World to wait for such a promising inheritor; we absolutely cannot let anything happen to him."
Sword Elder spoke once more.
Then, Sword Elder took out a communication jade slip and immediately sent a message.
Soon after, in a distant spacetime beyond, within an unknown universe, on a massive planet, in a common kingdom, inside a blacksmith's shop.
A blacksmith stripped to the waist, his muscles bulging, was swinging a large hammer and continuously pounding a longsword that was close to completion.
The longsword had just been taken out of the furnace and was undergoing forging.
The blacksmith's movements and the sound as he struck the longsword had a distinct rhythm, the *clang-clang-clang* echoing within the smithy.
Suddenly, the blacksmith stopped, tilting his head as if listening to something, then revealed an expression of pleasant surprise.
"Understood. So, our Sword World finally has another inheritor, one who has even earned Sword Elder's recognition. This means his talent is extraordinary."
After listening for a moment, the blacksmith spoke slowly.
"Damnable Blade Realm, daring to hunt the inheritor of our Sword World? Get past me first!"
The blacksmith added.
As he spoke, his usually ordinary-appearing body suddenly erupted with towering sword radiance. Raging sword light shot straight into the heavens, causing the space of this world to tremble violently, almost unable to bear it.
At the same time, in another void, near a small mountain village.
A farmer was driving an ox to plow a field. He raised the long whip in his hand high, urging the water buffalo in front of him to pull the plow forward continuously.
Suddenly, the farmer stopped and began to listen attentively. Soon, his face revealed an expression of delight.
"So, Senior Brother has taken a disciple, and one who has earned Master's recognition at that. Our Tianjian Sect has gained a new member. No matter what, I will do my part to protect our Tianjian Sect's inheritor."
The farmer spoke slowly.
As he spoke, a terrifying Sword Intent soared into the sky, soaring high above like a resplendent, gigantic dragon.
Almost simultaneously, in other different voids, different worlds, several individuals of varying statuses received messages from the Sword Realm. Then, all of them learned of Ye Yunfei's existence, and that a powerhouse from the Blade Realm was hunting the heir of the Tianjian Sect.
In the past, although the Tianjian Sect was destroyed, some of its sword cultivators managed to escape and were scattered abroad.
These wandering sword cultivators had all chosen to hide their identities, some even hiding within the world of ordinary mortals, living as commoners.
However, they had never forgotten they were sword cultivators of the Tianjian Sect. They had never forgotten the ocean of blood feud of the Tianjian Sect. They had always dreamed of one day taking revenge, then rebuilding the Tianjian Sect and the Sword Realm.
In fact, besides the Tianjian Sect, many other sword-path forces within the Sword Realm were in the same situation. Although destroyed, they still had many members scattered abroad, and over the long years, they too had cultivated quite a few new inheritors.
Apart from members of the Tianjian Sect, people from the other sword-path forces within the Sword Realm also received the message from the Sword Realm and learned of Ye Yunfei's existence.
Simultaneously, within the Blade Realm, a great figure issued an order: to hunt down a young human lad who had just emerged from the Sword Realm.
Then, Ye Yunfei's appearance and his Soul Body aura were immediately distributed to many Blade Realm members.
The members of the Blade Realm were all blade cultivators, most of them exceptionally overbearing, cruel, and bloodthirsty. Upon receiving the order, these blade cultivators revealed cruel smiles one after another.
"Just a human brat. Since he's on our Blade Realm's must-kill list, his fate is already sealed. Death is certain."
A brawny blade cultivator with a scowling, meaty face sneered.
"My cultivation seems to have reached a bottleneck recently. I just need to venture out, seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough. Well, I'll go kill this human kid now. I can both gain merits and seek a breakthrough opportunity—killing two birds with one stone."
The blade cultivator added.
Then he transformed into a tyrannical blade ray and instantly shot out of the Blade Realm.
Simultaneously, in an ordinary world within the Sixth Void, an Altar suddenly erupted with billowing divine radiance. Then, Ye Yunfei's figure appeared upon this transmission altar.
"We've finally returned to the Sixth Void. That old fellow from the Blade Realm hasn't appeared again this whole journey. Maybe he can no longer sense you."
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"Let's hope so. However, we absolutely cannot let our guard down from now on. The Blade Realm is too strong. Any powerhouse they casually send out is not something we can handle at our current level."
Hun Lao said with concern.
"What's going on here?"
When Ye Yunfei left the world where the transmission altar was located, the scene before his eyes was no longer the previous peace and tranquility. Instead, it was replaced by a heart-gripping atmosphere of murderous austerity and chaos.
The void ahead was in shambles. Several nearby World Clusters were now covered with scars and devastation. Space was shattered, filled with enormous fissures and scorched marks of energy impacts. Hardly any signs of living beings could be sensed.
The void was littered with countless wrecked warships, shattered pieces of magic treasures, and mutilated corpses. The stench of blood rose to the heavens.
"What happened?"
Ye Yunfei's heart sank violently as an ominous premonition engulfed his mind.
"Look! Those corpses are definitely members of the Guardian Faction. I'm all too familiar with their uniforms and military armor."
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm pointed at some corpses within a distant World Cluster and shouted.
"Yes, I also recognize them as people from the Guardian Faction. It seems the Guardian Faction has returned to the Sixth Void!"
Looking at those corpses, Ye Yunfei's face was extremely grim as he nodded slowly.
Clearly, during his time in the Sword Realm, the Guardian Faction had finally begun their return to the Sixth Void.
And what weighed heavily on Ye Yunfei's mind was that since the Guardian Faction had begun returning to the Sixth Void, the Seventh and Eighth Voids might very well be in the same situation.
"Let's return to the Alliance Army headquarters first."
Ye Yunfei stated.
Then, Ye Yunfei immediately deployed his movement technique, speeding toward the direction of the Alliance Army headquarters. At the same time, his vast Soul Power spread out like quicksilver, sensing the situation in the surrounding World Clusters.
As time passed and Ye Yunfei passed by more and more World Clusters, the scenes he witnessed became increasingly horrifying.
One World Cluster after another was engulfed in warfare. In some of them, battles were still ongoing. The armies of the Guardian Faction, like torrents of death, were frantically attacking and destroying these World Clusters of the Sixth Void.
These Guardian Faction armies were well-organized, excellently equipped, and each individual was powerful.
More importantly, many of the Guardian Faction armies were deploying advanced battle formations, unleashing astonishing combat power. The forces from ordinary World Clusters simply couldn't cope with such formidable Guardian Faction armies.
Many of the sects, families, and forces within these World Clusters hastily organized resistance but quickly collapsed under the cold, efficient onslaught of the Guardian armies.
The void was shattered, one world after another sinking into ruin. Countless beings were staining the void with their blood. Refugees flowed like headless flies, filled with despair.
"The Guardian Faction has finally returned, bringing terrible destruction and immense suffering to this void once again. This evil force is truly despicable! Why are we waiting? Let's act!"
Watching one World Cluster after another being attacked and destroyed, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was furious and shouted.
"The Guardian Faction's offensive this time is fierce. What we need to do now is immediately organize the entire Sixth Void to resist."
Hun Lao spoke.
"Yes. Let's first hurry back to the Alliance Army headquarters, then organize the forces, families, and factions from all the different World Clusters of the Sixth Void to form a united front."
Ye Yunfei listened to Hun Lao's words and nodded.
Then, Ye Yunfei accelerated his speed, returning toward the Alliance Army headquarters.
"This time, the Guardian Faction's offensive is fierce, their army's strength and scale far surpass before!"
By this time, through his many clones scattered throughout the Sixth Void, Ye Yunfei had already learned all the various events that had transpired in the Sixth Void during this period.
Not long ago, the peace of the Sixth Void had been abruptly disrupted by the returning Guardian Faction armies. Their strength was too terrifying, wiping out many World Cluster forces and families in a short time.
Because the Guardian Faction armies came suddenly, adopting an ambush strategy and appearing unexpectedly at various locations throughout the Sixth Void, the World Clusters, forces, and families here simply couldn't organize effective resistance forces in time. They quickly collapsed and were exterminated.
"Not good. The Alliance Army headquarters is also under siege."
At this moment, Ye Yunfei, through several of his clones, finally learned that the Alliance Army headquarters—namely, the Xuanyuan Continent—was under siege by the Guardian Faction armies. The situation was extremely critical.
Currently, the Alliance Army headquarters was the strongest single location in the Sixth Void. Therefore, after being besieged by the Guardian armies, it was barely managing to hold on.
However, Ye Yunfei knew the Alliance Army definitely couldn't hold out for long. Thus, Ye Yunfei sped back toward the headquarters at his fastest speed.
"It seems another battle is coming. Let's have a satisfying, decisive fight next!"
Huang Shang became agitated at this moment, filled with anticipation for the impending battle.
Because for him, such a large-scale battle would bring an abundance of cultivation resources.
"Good! Let's have a satisfying, decisive fight!"
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also rolled up his sleeves, eager to dive into battle immediately. Because for him, such a large-scale battle meant he could get rich.
"Yes. It's indeed time for a satisfying, decisive battle."
Ye Yunfei, too, was filled with anticipation. His gaze fixed on the direction of the Alliance Army headquarters, he was enveloped in a palpable aura of slaughter. Streak after streak of dazzling, brilliant sword light erupted from within his body.
Having obtained fortuitous opportunities not long ago in the Sword Realm, his sword-path cultivation had skyrocketed. Ye Yunfei now needed just such a fierce and satisfying battle to temper and consolidate it.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was like a sharp sword unsheathed, erupting with heaven-scorching sword radiance that tore through the void as he charged toward the Alliance Army headquarters at astonishing speed.
Ye Yunfei deployed a movement technique from the Tianjian Sect inheritance, resembling a sharp longsword constantly piercing through space. Every step took him directly across vast stretches of the void.
Meanwhile, within the Sixth Void Alliance Army headquarters, the Alliance Army had deployed many battle formations to face the enemy.
