"Run!"
The other Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction nearby turned pale, fear distorting their faces, and turned to flee the moment they saw Ye Yunfei arriving.
"One Thought Ice World!"
Ye Yunfei swept a glance around him and discovered at least thirty-some Heavenly Gods from the Guardian Faction in the vicinity. Though these Heavenly Gods felt terror at Ye Yunfei's arrival, they had no time to flee. They were instantly frozen into ice statues, then all collected by Ye Yunfei.
"Ten Thousand Swords Hail the Sovereign, Heed My Command!"
Ye Yunfei once again employed the secret art for summoning long swords recorded in the Sword Codex.
A vast burst of Sword Dao energy erupted and spread instantly.
*Clang! Clang!...*
In the next moment, the sound of weapon humming resonated from all corners of the battlefield.
Every single long sword, including those that had been shattered into fragments in battle, sword blanks—indeed, all swords, sword-like weapons or magical treasures, and even items related to swords—felt the call at this moment. They converged towards Ye Yunfei in a dense swarm, like a meteor shower.
"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei surged at the forefront, leading a rolling ocean of swords forward.
"Ahhh... Aah!..."
Wherever Ye Yunfei went, the ocean of swords arrived with him, displaying shocking destructive power.
As sword shadows blotted the sky, countless beings on the Guardian Faction's side, including Sovereign Gods, had their physical or soul bodies pierced.
"Run for your lives!"
Facing the dense, overwhelming torrent of sword shadows, the troops of the Guardian Faction paled, utterly unsure how to deal with it. They could only turn and flee desperately.
But Ye Yunfei's speed far exceeded theirs.
One after another, members of the Guardian Faction perished instantly.
"You little bastard! Cease!"
From behind, Lord Lieyang watched the ocean of swords stirred up by Ye Yunfei, feeling both shock and violent fury.
However, he realized he could not catch up to Ye Yunfei in a short time, left to trail behind helplessly, witnessing Ye Yunfei slaughtering Guardian Faction members one after another.
While Ye Yunfei roamed the battlefield, slaying enemies incessantly, the corpse and ghost armies led by Huang Shang tore an even larger breach in another section of the battlefield.
Currently, Huang Shang stood upon the shoulder of a Sovereign God-level zombie that stood thirty meters tall. A myriad-spirits banner unfurled in the air, three thousand phantom images on its surface shrieking simultaneously, violently shaking the divine souls of the three Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods ahead.
"The harvest from this battle is also quite good," Huang Shang murmured with a cold smile curling his lips, while continuously directing his armies of corpses and ghosts to charge forward.
At this moment, Huang Shang was surrounded by no less than forty or fifty zombies of the Sovereign God level!
These Sovereign God-level zombies were one of Huang Shang's great trump cards—incredibly tough and immensely strong.
"Let's test the Seven Evils Myriad-Corpse Divine Formation!" Huang Shang said softly.
He waved his hand, tossing out seven soul talismans seething with corpse qi. The paper talismans landed amidst a pile of corpses, instantly activating seven Sovereign God-level zombies, which rose slowly, their divine corpses clad in dark golden corpse armor.
These seven zombies served as the seven formation eyes of a massive corpse formation.
"A Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, Devour All Creation!"
Huang Shang formed a hand seal. Another ten thousand zombies simultaneously erupted, forming a massive corpse formation that surged forward to kill.
"Ten Thousand Ghosts Devour Souls Formation!"
Pointing a finger, Huang Shang uttered a soft shout, deploying a ghost formation that rolled forward. The spectral soldiers, unafraid of life or death, charged forward wave after wave towards the enemy. Even if blasted apart by divine energy, their remnant souls would transform into poisonous mist to corrode their foes' flesh and soul bodies.
The Seven Evils Myriad-Corpse Divine Formation swarmed forth, encircling over a dozen Sovereign Gods.
The Ten Thousand Ghosts Devour Souls Formation also surrounded five or six Sovereign Gods.
Thus, using his corpse and ghost armies, Huang Shang trapped over twenty Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction!
The leading seven Sovereign God-level zombies were all refined from the corpses of Intermediate or Advanced Sovereign Gods. Their bodies were incomparably hard and possessed immense strength. The sound of their corpse claws tearing through the void sent shivers down one's spine.
A First-Level Sovereign God swung his battle halberd to strike one of the zombies, only to find it like striking iron, unable to harm the seven zombies at all. Instead, three zombies swarmed him, their corpse claws piercing his chest.
Huang Shang pointed a finger, and a flood of ghosts invaded the enemy's Soul Sea, forcibly devouring his soul body in moments.
"Another fine corpse refinement material," Huang Shang said with a smile, flicking his sleeve to collect the Sovereign God's corpse.
On another part of the battlefield, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's form flashed like golden lightning, weaving through the combat.
He had long possessed strength sufficient to confront Sovereign Gods. Combined with his race's innate spatial talent, he could now even handle Third-Level Sovereign Gods.
His golden horn contained a strange law of spatial destruction. At the moment, he faced the combined assault of three Second-Level Sovereign Gods.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly curled into a sphere and shot like a meteor towards the central Sovereign God.
*Clang!*
The space before that Sovereign God instantly caved inward, and he was sent flying from the impact.
Using the same move, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm then sent the other two Sovereign Gods flying in turn.
"Hand over everything you have!"
With an imposing divine aura, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm charged forward, suppressed each of the three Sovereign Gods one by one, then began plundering the valuables on their persons.
Not far away, Hu Miao continuously wove layer upon layer of illusions. Her nine fox tails danced in the air, lashing out repeatedly at enemies who had already fallen into her illusions.
Hu Miao's illusions could now bewitch Sovereign Gods.
Two Sovereign Gods who tried to charge at Hu Miao had, upon approaching, fallen into over a dozen superimposed illusions—bizarre, fantastical layers that blurred the line between reality and illusion.
"Fox Illusion Needles!"
Hu Miao called out softly. A light flick of her tail, and her fingertips shot out three Bewitching Divine Needles, piercing precisely into a Sovereign God's Soul Sea. The target's eyes instantly glazed over as he turned and swung his blade at a companion. Thus, two Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods began fighting each other.
In another area of the battlefield, over a hundred thousand puppets drew attention.
These hundred thousand puppets together formed five powerful battle formations. These five formations were derived by Ye Yunfei from incomplete ancient formation diagrams and now displayed astonishing combat prowess on the battlefield. Wherever they went, even First or Second-Level Sovereign Gods had to avoid their advance.
Only Third-Level Sovereign Gods dared to confront them head-on, and even they might not necessarily defeat these formations.
"Excellent. Even though you haven't fully grasped these incomplete formation diagrams, they already unleash such might. If perfected in the future, their power will undoubtedly be even more terrifying," Hun Lao said with a laugh.
"I only used two of these incomplete diagrams to create these battle formations. There are still six or seven I haven't begun to study," Ye Yunfei replied.
At this moment, Lord Lieyang's pursuit of Ye Yunfei spanned the entire battlefield. Pillars of golden flame burned the void into a honeycomb, yet he hadn't so much as grazed a hair on Ye Yunfei.
Watching his subordinate Sovereign Gods being slaughtered one after another, seeing his own army begin to show signs of defeat, his pent-up fury finally erupted completely.
"You little bastard! Do you dare face me in a direct fight!"
Lord Lieyang's furious roar shook the surrounding space, as a blazing golden wheel of sunfire swelled continuously in his palm.
"If you keep avoiding battle, I'll burn all this Alliance Army trash to ashes!"
Lord Lieyang aimed at a group of Alliance Army members nearby and roared again.
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei's form abruptly halted in mid-air. He turned back to look at Lord Lieyang. Droplets of blood slid from the blade of the sword in his left hand, splashing tiny ripples in the void.
Ye Yunfei swept his Soul Power across the battlefield. He found the number of Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods had fallen to just over seventy. Compared to what the Alliance Army currently possessed, they no longer held a numerical advantage.
His own recent onslaught had slain at least fifty Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods.
Combined with Sovereign Gods slain by other experts on his side, the enemy had finally lost close to half of their Sovereign Gods.
Of course, many Alliance Army Sovereign Gods had also fallen. But they were still holding. Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, the silver-robed elder, the middle-aged Taoist nun, along with some Sovereign Gods of the Dark Faction, were the mainstays of the Alliance Army force, each having slain quite a few Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods.
"Face me? Well then, as you wish."
Ye Yunfei said calmly.
"Come on. Don't waste my time."
Ye Yunfei looked towards Lord Lieyang.
This Lord Lieyang was a Fourth-Level Sovereign God, a Minor Perfection Sovereign God.
"Go!"
Ye Yunfei kept his gaze fixed on Lord Lieyang as he pointed a finger and spoke softly.
*Clang! Clang!...*
The dense mass of long swords shot horizontally across the sky, instantly smashing into a nearby group of Guardian Faction personnel. Screams rose one after another as over a hundred Heavenly Gods perished on the spot.
"Brat, you're seeking death!"
Lord Lieyang roared furiously. Dense chains of Great Dao Laws swept forth towards Ye Yunfei.
"Brat, let me show you what a real Sovereign God is!"
In his rage, Lord Lieyang launched a frenzied assault against Ye Yunfei. First, he executed an advanced law-type secret technique. Over a thousand chains of Great Dao Laws bloomed outwards like a peacock's fan, enveloping Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei was already prepared. He used the Ice Mirage Step, transforming into thousands of icy afterimages, while simultaneously employing the Heart-reading Technique of the Samsara Ghost race.
Lord Lieyang's mind jolted, his consciousness and movements instantly slowing.
At that precise moment, Ye Yunfei's true form appeared behind him and slashed with his sword. The blade radiance, stark black and white, rang out with a metallic clang.
"Petty tricks!"
Lord Lieyang snorted coldly. Countless chains of Great Dao Laws unfurled around his body, interspersed with innumerable golden talisman scripts, forming an energy domain that began to suppress Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei felt his entire body sink, the flow of divine power within him impeded. His heart stirred with quiet astonishment.
This Lord Lieyang's combat prowess was indeed formidable!
No wonder he was chosen to lead the invasion force into the Sixth Void. He truly had exceptional qualities.
*Rumble…*
Ye Yunfei unleashed the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel. Nine divine beasts together pushed the rolling wheel forward.
Ye Yunfei stirred the Chaos Profound Ice Soul, releasing nearly all of its ice energy and ice laws.
One Thought Ice World!
Deep azure ice energy instantly spread, forming a vast frozen world that swept towards Lord Lieyang.
Lord Lieyang's movements faltered abruptly. Affected by One Thought Ice World, they slowed significantly.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Yunfei operated the Soul Force Star Method at full power. Over forty Soul Force stars erupted with light simultaneously, invading Lord Lieyang's Soul Sea, all while coordinating with the Heart-reading Technique.
"You…"
Assailed by multiple attacks at once, Lord Lieyang paled with shock.
