"Engage the enemy!"
Within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, ten men wearing greenish-grey robes stood lined up in a row amidst the void. Seeing the Guardian Faction outside preparing a forceful assault, their expressions were a little grave.
Standing behind these ten men in greenish-grey robes was a great army, their formation neat, their auras powerful.
All of these were the Hunyuan Sect's forces. They had arrived abruptly not long ago and entered the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, personally received by one of Ye Yunfei's clones.
Standing beside them was another great army—the Alliance Army of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
At the very forefront of the Alliance Army stood a clone of Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei had left several clones within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds; this was one of them, specially stationed at the Alliance Army headquarters.
"Young Master Ye, the Guardian Faction's army is preparing a forced attack. They have many Sovereign Gods. By comparison, our side's strength is at a disadvantage. This will be a tough fight," one of the men in greenish-grey robes sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei's clone, his gaze sharp.
"I know. Thank you all for coming to our aid. Once the fighting starts, if our side truly can't cope, then don't get entangled. I've set up many long-distance teleportation formations all over this world cluster. I've already sent their locations to you earlier. Once the situation becomes critical, we'll use these teleportation formations to escape. There's no need for pointless sacrifices," Ye Yunfei nodded, then replied via voice transmission.
"Don't worry, Young Master Ye. Elder Pan has gone to the Sixth Void to inform your main body of the situation in the Eighth Void. I believe your main body will rush back soon," another man in a greenish-grey robe said to Ye Yunfei.
"I know. In fact, my main body has already returned," Ye Yunfei answered.
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the expressions of those greenish-grey-robed men lit up with pleasant surprise.
They all knew that as long as Ye Yunfei's main body could return in time, the crisis in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds—indeed, the entire Eighth Void—would certainly be swiftly resolved.
After all, they knew Ye Yunfei's main body had once slain a Fourth Level Sovereign God of the Guardian Faction.
Right at this moment, the Guardian Faction's army flooded like a tide into the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
In comparison, the power of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds was relatively weak. Were it not for the Hunyuan Sect's forces holding their ground, they would have been annihilated long ago.
At the command of the ten greenish-grey-robed leaders of the Hunyuan Sect, the sect's forces charged forth, beginning the battle.
All ten of these Hunyuan Sect members were Sovereign Gods. Though they were only Early Stage Sovereign Gods in strength, they were inheritors of the ancient super sect Hunyuan Sect. The cultivation methods, legacies they practiced, and the various trials they had undergone were incomparable to those of ordinary forces. A few among them could genuinely cross levels in battle. Therefore, although the Hunyuan Sect side only had ten Early Stage Sovereign Gods, they managed to block the Guardian Faction army's onslaught.
A commander dressed in golden armor among the Guardian Faction forces was a Mid-stage Sovereign God. Besides this commander, there were two other Mid-stage Sovereign Gods.
In other words, a total of three Mid-stage Sovereign Gods had come to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. For the weak Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, three Mid-stage Sovereign Gods were utterly terrifying.
The Alliance Army's high-ranking officers, sensing the energy auras radiating from those three Mid-stage Sovereign Gods from afar, paled, not daring to get close at all.
There was no help for it; the difference in realm and strength was simply too vast.
As the Guardian Faction army swept like a tide into the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, within that void, vast quantities of Formations and Earth Formations were immediately and continuously activated.
One after another, luminous Formation screens, treacherous lands, and deadly grounds continuously appeared.
The presence of so many Formations and Earth Formations immediately eased the pressure on the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds' side.
"Damn it! There are still so many Formations and Earth Formations in here!" Seeing yet another great number of Formations and Earth Formations continuously appearing, the Guardian Faction's high-ranking officers grew gloomy-faced, cursing one after another.
Then they had no choice but to take action to break the Formations, which significantly interfered with their combat effectiveness.
"Don't get entangled in the fight, everyone. Be ready to escape using the long-distance teleportation formations. There's no need for a head-on collision," Ye Yunfei's clone, seeing how many Sovereign Gods the Guardian Faction side had, knew that if the battle continued, his side's casualties would inevitably be severe, which was completely unnecessary. Ye Yunfei's clone believed that as long as his main body returned, the Guardian Faction forces before them would be nothing to worry about. It wasn't necessary to suffer heavy losses on his side now.
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's voice transmission, the Alliance Army and Hunyuan Sect members prepared to withdraw.
However, just at that moment, Ye Yunfei's main body had already led his great army back, arriving outside.
From afar, Ye Yunfei could see the Guardian Faction army had already forced its way into the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, battle had begun, and casualties had already started appearing on the side of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Had it not been for the massive quantity of Formations and Earth Formations he had set up within and around the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds in the past, slightly delaying the Guardian Faction army's advance, the current situation would be unthinkable.
Of course, the Hunyuan Sect's forces also played a major role in countering the enemy.
"Take action immediately. Kill every last member of the Guardian Faction forces. Remember, not a single one is to survive," Ye Yunfei, looking at the fierce fighting taking place within the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds from afar, spoke coldly, his gaze brimming with murderous intent so dense it reached its extreme. With a flash, he walked out of a flying ship.
As soon as the words fell, Ye Yunfei utilized a movement technique, rushing towards the distant Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds at an incredible speed.
Ye Yunfei simultaneously utilized the Nine Dragons Ascent Steps, bolstered them with his terrifying physical body strength, and combined it with the sword path movement technique he had obtained in the Sword Realm. The resulting speed was simply indescribable. In an instant, Ye Yunfei had already surged into the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"Everyone, there's no need to retreat. My main body has returned," sensing his main body's return, Ye Yunfei's clone immediately sent voice transmissions to the Alliance Army's high command and the Hunyuan Sect's high-ranking members.
Upon receiving Ye Yunfei's transmission, everyone on the side of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds was instantly overcome with immense joy.
"Excellent! Young Master Ye's main body is back!" Many couldn't help but cheer.
"Ten Thousand Swords Herald Their Lord!"
The moment Ye Yunfei's main body entered the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, he let out a low shout.
*Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang…*
Immediately, all the swords across the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds felt Ye Yunfei's summon. Long swords beyond count began to riot, then—regardless of being owned or ownerless—they all shot towards Ye Yunfei's location at astonishing speeds.
Thus, within the void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, everyone witnessed a staggering number of long swords resembling a torrential downpour transforming into expansive oceans, whistling as they flew toward Ye Yunfei's position.
As far as the eye could see, swords were everywhere, every single blade radiating billowing, dazzling sword light.
"What is happening?"
At this moment, the troops on both sides within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds' void all stopped fighting simultaneously, watching blankly as dense multitudes of swords gathered towards Ye Yunfei from all directions.
"All invaders who dare trespass into our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds shall die!" Ye Yunfei stood amidst the densely packed ocean of swords and said coldly, his words crisp and carrying boundless killing intent.
Then Ye Yunfei's figure moved, charging straight toward the Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction.
His primary targets were the three leading Mid-stage Sovereign Gods. The three Mid-stage Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction, confident in their status, had not yet taken action, still observing from where they stood.
Now, seeing a young man leading a terrifying number of long swords sweeping towards their position, the expressions of these three Mid-stage Sovereign Gods all changed.
"I know who he is! He is Ye Yunfei!" One of the Mid-stage Sovereign Gods pointed at Ye Yunfei and exclaimed in shock.
"Everyone, be cautious. Though this kid's cultivation level is low and his age is not great, it is said his combat strength is formidable. The three of us shall attack together!" Sensing the energy aura Ye Yunfei emitted, the leading commander in golden armor looked a little solemn and shouted.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!…*
The three Mid-stage Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction instantly brought forth all their magic treasures, activating them in front of them as a shield.
Then, these three Sovereign Gods also unleashed their ultimate killing moves one after another, like three erupting volcanoes.
Simultaneously, they stepped forward, readying themselves for battle.
"Young Master Ye is indeed Living Up to the Reputation!"
The ten Early Stage Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect, seeing Ye Yunfei's main body return and instantly create such a spectacular phenomenon, exclaimed in admiration one after another.
"Young Master Ye is truly too powerful!"
The high command of the Alliance Army of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were shocked yet overjoyed.
Right at this moment, Ye Yunfei, surrounded by a countless number of swords, had already charged directly in front of the three Mid-stage Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction.
"Ye Yunfei! You think we fear you?! Come forth and accept your death!" Seeing Ye Yunfei's overwhelmingly aggressive advance, the commander in golden armor took a forceful step forward and roared fiercely.
