"Elder Yan, stall that one for now. Elder Wu and I will kill this one first," Ye Yunfei transmitted to Elder Yan.
Elder Yan was slightly stronger than Elder Wu, so Ye Yunfei tasked him with initially holding off one of the Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods.
"You little Ye bastard! You've killed so many of us from the Blade Realm. This is a blood feud!" one of the Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods roared furiously.
"The Blade Realm and I were already locked in a blood feud long ago," Ye Yunfei sneered coldly.
By now, Ye Yunfei was standing right in front of a Seventh-Level Sovereign God. His fists moved like lightning, unleashing the various boxing techniques of the Great Strength Demon God Inheritance in a relentless barrage.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei employed his Soul Power Martial Arts and Heart Force Skill, continuously assaulting the Soul Body of this Seventh-Level Sovereign God.
All the other Blade Cultivators had already been dealt with. Ye Yunfei was using two Gravity Spheres, one to target each of the Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods.
Every move and stance these two Sovereign Gods attempted was severely suppressed by the gravitational energy, giving them a feeling of being hampered and constrained.
"Ye bastard! I'll fight you to the death! Even if it costs this old life of mine, I'll kill you today!" the Seventh-Level Sovereign God being attacked by Ye Yunfei roared, his eyes crimson with rage. He charged at Ye Yunfei recklessly, mustering all his strength.
Ye Yunfei did not dodge or evade. His fists fell like raindrops, each clash a direct, head-on exchange. The physical power within his body poured out endlessly, augmenting his fists, every punch causing the space ahead to crumble incessantly.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei made no attempt to dodge the Sovereign God's attacks whatsoever, allowing them to land squarely on his body.
After refining and fusing numerous Seventh Level Sovereign God-tier magical treasures, coupled with the second stage of the Myriad Spirits Forging Technique, his physical body had attained an inconceivable degree of hardness.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!…*
The Seventh-Level Sovereign God's palm slashed down, striking Ye Yunfei's body several times in a row, but it could only leave a few shallow cut marks. And these marks swiftly began to heal automatically.
"How is this possible?" the Sovereign God exclaimed, shocked and furious.
Seeing Ye Yunfei directly block the Sovereign God's attacks, Elder Yan didn't stand idle. He launched an even more ferocious assault from the side, employing every technique at his disposal, exerting his full strength. One deadly killer move after another poured forth, bombarding the Sovereign God's body.
"What's happening up ahead?"
At that moment, a group of figures appeared in the distance, emanating powerful auras. Flames shot into the sky as they surged forward.
"Young Master Ye, those are people from Skyfire Valley!" The two Wanmu Ancestral Land elders were startled and immediately transmitted the message to Ye Yunfei.
"Ignore them for now. Let's speed up and finish off these two," Ye Yunfei replied.
Then, Ye Yunfei unleashed an even more terrifying assault. The speed of his punches increased further, nearly every blow utilizing his full physical strength.
Finally, the Seventh-Level Sovereign God began to falter. Suppressed by the Gravity Sphere, he had been forced onto the defensive the entire time. No matter how strong his defenses were, they had been completely shattered by Ye Yunfei's relentless strikes by now.
*Bam! Bam! Bam!…*
Ye Yunfei's fists continuously hammered into the Sovereign God's physical body. Simultaneously, the Soul Power Martial Arts and Heart Force Skill he employed began to overwhelm the Sovereign God's Soul Body.
In less than the time it takes to take a single breath, Ye Yunfei managed to subdue and seal away both the physical body and the Soul Body of this Seventh-Level Sovereign God. Of course, Elder Yan provided his full assistance from the side.
Immediately after, Ye Yunfei and Elder Yan charged towards the other Seventh-Level Sovereign God.
This Blade Realm Seventh-Level Sovereign God, suppressed by a Gravity Sphere, felt constricted at every turn during his fight with Elder Wu, utterly unable to exert his true strength. Thus, he was at a severe disadvantage.
He had already been forced into continuous retreat and was wounded by Elder Wu's attacks.
With Ye Yunfei and Elder Yan joining the fray, he became even more unable to withstand the onslaught.
"Fellow cultivators from Skyfire Valley! Come to my aid quickly!" This Seventh-Level Sovereign God had already spotted the surging forces from Skyfire Valley in the distance. Surprised and hopeful, he immediately cried out for help.
"What's going on here?"
The Skyfire Valley group witnessed Ye Yunfei and Elder Yan subduing and sealing one Blade Realm Seventh-Level Sovereign God while battering another into complete helplessness. They were all thoroughly shocked.
Leading this Skyfire Valley group was a Seventh-Level Sovereign God.
"Damn it! How is that Ye brat so terrifying?! Given the situation, even if I rush over, I might not be a match for them."
The Skyfire Valley Sovereign God felt deep apprehension witnessing the power displayed by Ye Yunfei and the two Wanmu Ancestral Land elders.
More importantly, the Blade Realm Seventh-Level Sovereign God crying for help was severely injured. His remaining combat strength was clearly very limited.
If he charged over to rescue him now, he would likely end up shouldering the main burden of the fight.
He had absolutely no confidence in simultaneously facing the two Wanmu Ancestral Land elders *and* Ye Yunfei.
Therefore, upon hearing the Blade Realm Sovereign God's plea for help, this Skyfire Valley Seventh-Level Sovereign God instead halted his steps, ceased advancing, and wore an expression of hesitation and doubt. He wasn't sure whether he should charge in to help or abandon the attempt and make a hasty retreat.
"Friends from Skyfire Valley! Hurry over! This is the Ye bastard we're looking for! He's here! Deal with him now!"
The Blade Realm Seventh-Level Sovereign God found his situation deteriorating rapidly under the combined assault of Ye Yunfei and the two elders. Both his physical body and Soul Body were grievously wounded. Sensing the approach of death, he cried out in terror.
But the Skyfire Valley Seventh-Level Sovereign God was still hesitating.
"Damn you! Didn't your Skyfire Valley agree to join forces with our Blade Realm to deal with Wanmu Ancestral Land and this Ye brat?! And now you're backing down?!"
Seeing the distant Skyfire Valley group slow to provide assistance, while his injuries worsened and his strength ebbed away, the Blade Realm Sovereign God could not help but roar in anger.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei and the two elders swarmed forward and directly subdued and sealed this Blade Realm Seventh-Level Sovereign God.
Ye Yunfei handed over his physical corpse to Huang Shang. Dozens of Soul Power Spheres began forcefully devouring the Swordmaster Seventh-Level Sovereign God's Soul Body.
"Everything left behind by those blade cultivators is here," said the Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm, who had already collected all the spoils left scattered across the battlefield and handed them to Ye Yunfei.
"Now it's their turn," Ye Yunfei said slowly, turning his gaze towards the distant Skyfire Valley group.
The Blade Realm Sovereign God had made it perfectly clear just now—Skyfire Valley had already collaborated with the Blade Realm to deal with Wanmu Ancestral Land and himself. Therefore, Ye Yunfei naturally wouldn't hold back.
"Not good! Those guys are planning to attack us! Let's get out of here!"
The Skyfire Valley Seventh-Level Sovereign God, noticing Ye Yunfei's murderous gaze settling on them, gasped in alarm and immediately ordered a retreat.
However, Ye Yunfei was not about to give them a chance to escape. His figure flickered, and with astonishing speed, he charged right in front of these Skyfire Valley forces.
Elder Yan and Elder Wu immediately followed behind Ye Yunfei.
The current Skyfire Valley group had only one Seventh-Level Sovereign God—they were easier to deal with than the blade cultivators from moments ago.
Without wasting any words, Ye Yunfei, Elder Yan, and Elder Wu charged forward and commenced their attack.
Ye Yunfei took out two black Gravity Spheres and hurled them forward. Instantly, the ground was pressed down, forming deep depressions.
Before most of the Skyfire Valley members could react, they were crushed into puddles of flesh.
"You're looking for death!" the Seventh-Level Sovereign God shouted, both shocked and enraged. However, before his roar had even faded, he was met with a frenzied combined assault from Ye Yunfei and the two elders.
All other Skyfire Valley members had already been pressed to the bottom of the deep depressions by the two Gravity Spheres, continuously turning into lump after lump of mangled flesh.
Only this Seventh-Level Sovereign God still barely stood in his original spot, though his movements were now becoming labored.
In a mere few moments, this Skyfire Valley Seventh-Level Sovereign God was beaten to death by the combined efforts of Ye Yunfei and the two elders.
After tidying up the battlefield slightly, Ye Yunfei and the two elders hid themselves again nearby.
Not long after, members of the four major forces—the Guardian Faction, the Blade Realm, Skyfire Valley, and the Meng Family—arrived one after the other.
To hunt down Ye Yunfei and the Wanmu Ancestral Land members, these major forces had dispersed their manpower. This, in turn, gave Ye Yunfei and the two elders the perfect opportunity to act.
If all members of these major forces had gathered together, it would have been significantly more difficult for Ye Yunfei and the two elders to kill them.
In truth, by this point, there weren't many members left from these four forces.
"This is bad. Most of our Guardian Faction members can no longer be contacted. What exactly happened?"
At one location, a Seventh-Level Sovereign God from the Guardian Faction spoke with a somber expression.
Initially, the Guardian Faction had dispatched a total of six Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods to lead the force into Tianmu Shenjun's cultivation cave mansion, anticipating a bountiful harvest. But now, the other five had already been killed by Ye Yunfei and the two elders, leaving only this last one.
During this time, this last Seventh-Level Sovereign God of the Guardian Faction had continuously tried to contact the other five via transmission.
To his growing unease, he had been unable to reach any of the other five.
"It's terrible! I've just discovered that several of our Guardian Faction groups have been killed. I sensed the remnant souls and lingering auras of our people at those locations. Moreover, using Divination Arts, I confirmed that those groups from our Guardian Faction are all dead. None survived."
At that moment, a Sixth Level Sovereign God rushed over and reported to this Seventh-Level Sovereign God.
"How is that possible?! Each of those groups was led by a powerful Seventh-Level Sovereign God personally! How could they all have been killed?" The Seventh-Level Sovereign God simply couldn't believe it.
"What I'm saying is absolutely true. I am certain that the other Guardian Faction groups are all dead," the Sixth Level Sovereign God insisted.
He was a trusted subordinate sent out to gather information and track down Ye Yunfei and the Wanmu Ancestral Land group.
"How could this happen?! Does this mean that of all the Guardian Faction forces that entered Tianmu Shenjun's cave mansion, only our group remains?!" the Seventh-Level Sovereign God roared angrily.
"It appears so," the Sixth Level Sovereign God replied cautiously.
"It must be that Ye brat! And those damn Wanmu Ancestral Land guys! They must be the ones who did this! Wanmu Ancestral Land! Ye brat! Daring to kill so many of our Guardian Faction! This is a blood feud! Just you wait! Once we get out, our Guardian Faction armies will soon come knocking at your door to settle this!"
This Seventh-Level Sovereign God knew his trusted subordinate would not deceive him. Just thinking that the Guardian Faction had sent so many people into Tianmu Shenjun's cave mansion only to be reduced to their group now was unacceptable. His heart filled with fury, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
"Let's go! We'll hurry and get out first!" Although he uttered these fierce words, deep down, this Seventh-Level Sovereign God was beginning to feel a bit afraid.
If all the other Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods had been killed, then he, a Seventh-Level Sovereign God, wasn't necessarily safe either. Leaving promptly was the safer option.
At the same time, the Blade Realm, the Meng Family, and Skyfire Valley also now had only their final group remaining—their last Seventh-Level Sovereign God.
Because these major forces had previously dispersed their forces to hunt down Ye Yunfei and the Wanmu Ancestral Land group, each team was generally led by a single Seventh-Level Sovereign God. Only in very few cases did a team have two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods leading it.
"What?! The rest of our Blade Realm forces might all be dead?! Leaving only us?! Impossible! Are you sure you've investigated thoroughly?!"
The Blade Realm's last remaining Seventh-Level Sovereign God stared at the two Fifth Level Sovereign God-ranked blade cultivators who had returned to report to him and immediately shouted.
