"Another round!"
A will to battle flashed within Lü Dandan's eyes as she charged forward.
Thus, the two sides fell into fierce combat once more.
Two minor-circle Sovereign Gods engaged in brutal battle; Darkness and Starlight clashed and corroded each other with insane ferocity. Wherever they passed, space collapsed in sheets, the very Laws wailing in distress. Ordinary warriors simply dared not approach their sphere of combat.
"Kill!"
The other high-ranking officers of the Alliance Army, along with the Patriarchs, Clan Leaders, and Elders from every World Cluster, sect, and family of the Sixth Void, also erupted with astonishing combat resolve.
To defend their homeland, no one retreated!
This was especially true for the Alliance Army's high command. They had long taken the various divine pills meticulously crafted for them by Ye Yunfei, giving them solid foundations, brimming divine power, and rapid cultivation advancement. Furthermore, Ye Yunfei had gifted them a vast quantity of high-grade magical treasures suited to their realms, and had even imparted numerous profound techniques and secret arts tailored to their individual characteristics, having obtained the inheritance of many major powers due to his cultivation of the Soul Star Method, which allowed him to absorb others' memories.
In this critical moment, the Alliance Army's high command erupted with combat power far exceeding their usual levels!
Sword lights ripped through the heavens, blade arcs severed stellar rivers, and all manner of divine abilities and secret arts blossomed across the battlefield like fireworks as they fiercely clashed with the powerful figures on the Guardian Faction's side!
This was a grand, large-scale melee, and also a war of attrition cruel to the extreme!
Millions, tens of millions of warriors from both sides, like two colossal tidal waves, smashed violently together, instantly entering the most brutal state of mutual slaughter!
Beams of energy crisscrossed each other, explosions of fire erupted one after another, severed limbs and broken bodies flew in all directions, and blood instantly dyed the cold starry sky scarlet, coalescing into floating rivers of gore.
Shrill shrieks of agony, enraged roars, the clanging clash of weapons, the deafening booms of annihilated energy… all interweaving into a single symphony of death.
Amidst a melee of this scale, an individual's life appeared utterly insignificant.
Even Deities—soldiers at the Virtual God and True God realms—were often reduced to bloody mist by powerful aftershocks within moments of engagement, or casually erased by attacks from enemy Sovereign Gods.
Every moment, lives withered away like candles in the wind, fleeting and ephemeral.
At the very center of this battlefield, thirteen Advanced Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction had surrounded Ye Yunfei. The Advanced Sovereign God leading them wielded a trident and activated a profound Water Law, forming a massive water cage that trapped the void around their battlefield.
The other twelve Sovereign Gods each activated their own secret arts: the shield-bearing Sovereign Gods set up a defensive formation to prevent Ye Yunfei's escape; those skilled in speed transformed into afterimages seeking openings to attack; the fire-controlling Sovereign Gods spewed forth three-thousand-zhang-high flames, attempting to burn Ye Yunfei's physical form…
"A mere junior! For you to die under the combined hands of us thirteen Advanced Sovereign Gods counts as an honor for you!"
The burly man raised his trident and stirred the water currents. Countless water arrows shot towards Ye Yunfei like a storm, each arrow imbued with the dual Laws of Piercing and Corrosion.
"And you think you can kill me?
You're overthinking things."
Ye Yunfei, far from being alarmed, laughed instead. Not a trace of fear appeared on his face; instead, battle intent blazed in his eyes as the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel rose behind him. Nine mythical beasts roared simultaneously and surged forward.
"Come! You're perfect for honing my sword path!"
With a long cry, Ye Yunfei took the initiative to attack!
His left hand gripped a blade, his right hand a sword. Blade and sword both struck out.
The longsword in his right hand executed a wide-range sword-path offensive technique!
In that instant, with Ye Yunfei at the center, countless supremely condensed sword lights—their trajectories profound and unfathomable—materialized out of thin air. They were no longer simple constructs of energy; each one seemed to possess an independent spirit, containing the Sword Laws of Cutting, Tearing, Imprisonment, and more. Instantly, they filled the entire star domain, seemingly transforming this place into a prison of death dominated by the Great Law of Swords!
The crisscrossing, grinding sword lights instantly suppressed the combined imposing momentum of the thirteen Advanced Sovereign Gods, forcing them each to employ their own means to defend. Their formation showed a moment of disorder.
"Impossible! This brat's mastery of the sword path is too terrifying!"
Someone couldn't help but shout.
*Ice Domain of a Single Thought!*
Ye Yunfei's mind flashed with thought, activating an ice-type technique to coalesce a miniature world of ice. It accurately encased the three Advanced Sovereign Gods with the most ferocious aura!
Sub-zero cold descended, freezing space solid. Caught off guard, those three Sovereign Gods instantly slowed, thick layers of ice covering their bodies. Though they immediately erupted with divine power to shatter the ice, that momentary stagnation in a high-level duel was a fatal flaw!
*Soul Weapon Art!*
Almost the exact moment the Ice Realm formed, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power fiercely activated. The Soul-Nurturing Tree swayed, waves of Soul Power energy surged forth, erupting with dazzling radiance. They mimicked countless soul power needles, fine as ox hair yet specifically injurious to Soul Bodies. Soundlessly, they pierced through the void, ignoring physical defenses, and shot directly toward the Soul Sea at the brows of those three Sovereign Gods!
"Be careful! This brat's soul technique is extremely strange!"
A Sovereign God cried out in shock and alarm as each frantically activated soul-type defensive magical treasures.
However, Ye Yunfei's soul power level far surpassed that of these Advanced Sovereign Gods, and the Soul Weapon Art he currently employed was a high-level soul power secret art further enhanced with the interference of his Mind Reading Art. Those three Advanced Sovereign Gods had no means of defending.
Aaaaaah!
The three Advanced Sovereign Gods screamed simultaneously.
Their Soul Body defenses were instantly pierced through; their soul bodies suffered severe damage.
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Yunfei's body moved like lightning, entering the Ice World like a ghost and sealing away these three Advanced Sovereign Gods.
*Boom...*
Without the slightest pause in his movements, Ye Yunfei slashed out with the sword in his hand. A thick pillar of sword radiance streaked toward another Advanced Sovereign God.
The sword radiance tore through the heavens, causing that Advanced Sovereign God to cough up blood and be sent flying on the spot.
"Ice Dragon Technique!"
Ye Yunfei uttered a light shout.
Two massive ice dragons simultaneously materialized and roared forth, each pouncing toward a separate Advanced Sovereign God. Waves of extreme cold surged forward, instantly freezing the space ahead into ice sculptures.
*A Single Blade Severs Yin and Yang!*
Ye Yunfei swung his blade toward an Advanced Sovereign God attempting to ambush him from behind. Yin-Yang black-and-white blade radiance manifested once more, distinguishing purity from turbidity, severing and extinguishing life and death.
"Your blade technique is also so powerful!"
That Advanced Sovereign God's magical treasure was instantly cut in two, his face turning ashen with terror as he tried to retreat, only to find that many strange thoughts and notions had suddenly been born within his mind.
Then, a small Ice Realm formed, trapping him.
Following that, dozens of Soul Power planets invaded his Soul Sea, beginning their assault on his Soul Body. More than twenty soul power weapons simultaneously attacked as well, jointly assaulting his Soul Body.
Aaaaah...
This Advanced Sovereign God screamed.
The array of techniques and secret arts Ye Yunfei employed was too terrifying; he was powerless to resist.
He was then separately subdued by Ye Yunfei, with his physical body and Soul Body each sealed.
"Kill!"
The remaining Advanced Sovereign Gods were filled with both shock and rage as they launched a frenzied, combined assault on Ye Yunfei.
They could not accept such a defeat.
So many Advanced Sovereign Gods ganging up on a junior brat, yet they had been beaten into such disarray? They could not stomach it.
Ye Yunfei employed every means at his disposal: sword arts, ice-type secret arts, soul techniques, formations, earth formations… He wielded a myriad of powerful techniques and secret arts as if plucking them readily, coordinating them with flawless seamlessness, pushing the tenets of 'fast, vicious, and accurate' to their absolute peak!
A short while later, Ye Yunfei had subdued and sealed three more Advanced Sovereign Gods.
Those thirteen Advanced Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction, who had arrived with such menacing vigor, not only failed to defeat Ye Yunfei, but were caught off guard within a short period and thrown into utter disarray!
Over half were suppressed and sealed. The remainder were in complete disarray, barely managing to hold on, their eyes brimming with disbelief, shock, and fear!
Ye Yunfei, fighting alone against thirteen Advanced Sovereign Gods, not only didn't fall behind, but instead dominated the entire scene with the crushing might of thunder!
His peerless, invincible bearing was deeply etched into the gaze of every living being observing this battle, greatly bolstering the Alliance Army's morale while simultaneously sending a bone-chilling coldness through the Guardian Faction's ranks!
This stretch of void, because of him, boiled with energy; and because of him, trembled with dread!
Within the battlefield at this very moment, the grand battle had entered the most intense, white-hot stage.
Tornadoes of energy raged, every single moment bringing the blossoming and wilting of lives like fireworks.
On the Guardian Faction's side, that leader addressed as Lord Lieyang had faint golden flames of light shimmering around him like a sun god inspecting the field of war, watching the battle unfold with cold detachment.
He was a Fourth-Level Sovereign God, incredibly powerful. Considering his status, he believed his side held an absolute advantage in this conflict, rendering his personal involvement unnecessary.
He commanded over one hundred and sixty Sovereign Gods, while even counting the entire Alliance side, they barely exceeded eighty. The numbers were almost double in his favor!
In his view, this ought to have been a victory of overwhelming dominance.
When he first witnessed Ye Yunfei being besieged by thirteen Advanced Sovereign Gods, his heart held a measure of scrutiny and contempt, wanting to see how long this youth, rumored to have some tricks up his sleeve, could last. Yet the scene that followed caused his pupils to sharply contract and the composure on his face to instantly vanish!
Ye Yunfei's form moved like a ghost. Against the besieging assault of thirteen individuals at his same realm, not only was he not in the slightest bit of disarray—he proactively attacked! Sword lights, ice-type techniques, Soul Power techniques… He wielded every single powerful technique and secret art, employing them as if plucking them readily, coordinating them with flawless, seamless integration!
And what truly made his heart bleed was Ye Yunfei's speed!
In the span of a few moments, more than half of the Advanced Sovereign Gods on his side had been subdued and sealed!
