"Your Majesty, have you broken through to become a Greater Sovereign God?"
Just as this Dark Faction powerhouse was about to continue reporting the situation outside to Lü Dandan, he suddenly sensed that her current energy aura was much stronger than before. He couldn't help but ask with pleasant surprise.
"Yes, I have successfully broken through," Lü Dandan replied, her expression icy cold as she nodded. At the same time, her Soul Force Energy already began to spread its perception outward from the Dark Realm.
Outside the Dark Realm, at that moment, the Soul Body of the second Fifth Layer Sovereign God had already been sliced in half by the Heart Sword. The remaining four Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods were gathered together, warily scanning their surroundings, trying to find out exactly who was ambushing them.
They still hadn't been able to detect Ye Yunfei's presence.
Ye Yunfei continuously employed advanced concealment secret arts to hide his aura. Furthermore, he took out several high-level Concealment Talismans from the Rune Sacred Land, further securing his form and presence.
"Dark Queen, you little bitch, are you the one scheming in the shadows?"
"Daring to kill a Greater Sovereign God of our Guardian Faction, you've committed a heinous crime."
"Not only will you not escape death, the entire Dark Faction will suffer alongside you."
One of the Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods suddenly shouted furiously towards the entrance of the Dark Realm.
In the minds of these Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods, it was most likely the Dark Queen or some powerful figure from the Dark Faction ambushing them from the shadows.
"Who exactly is acting against these Guardian Faction powerhouses?"
Within the Dark Realm, Lü Dandan's Soul Force Energy had already clearly sensed the situation outside. She stared at the two Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods who had collapsed in the void, their fate unknown, and the other four furious Greater Sovereign Gods, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Behind those several Fifth Layer Greater Sovereign Gods stood a dense mass of troops.
"Damn it! Let's just charge straight in! Level the Dark Realm! Leave not even a chicken or dog alive inside!"
One of the Greater Sovereign Gods roared angrily.
However, before his roar could fade away, several dozen weapons radiating dense Soul Force Energy suddenly materialized around his head. They all exploded simultaneously, bombarding his skull.
During this period, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power level had been continuously rising, and the quality of his Soul Body was also constantly improving. The might of the Soul Artefact Grand Method he was now employing was naturally far stronger.
Furthermore, Ye Yunfei could now activate over fifty Soul Force weapons at once.
Such a sudden onslaught of Soul Force weapons immediately caused that Fifth Layer Sovereign God's face to pale dramatically.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
One Soul Force energy-type treasure after another in his Soul Sea was rapidly activated, protecting his Soul Sea and Soul Body.
Simultaneously, the Soul Force energy within his Soul Sea erupted continuously, forming a defensive shield around his Soul Sea.
But a longsword condensed from heart force energy appeared instantly within his Soul Sea, completely disregarding all defenses, and slashed towards his Soul Body.
This Fifth Layer Sovereign God urged the Soul Force energy treasures in his Soul Sea to intercept the Heart Sword, trying to force it out of his Soul Sea.
But he quickly discovered these Soul Force energy treasures seemed to have little effect on the Heart Sword.
Under the dual assault of the Heart Sword and the Soul Artefact Grand Method, this Fifth Layer Sovereign God soon began to falter.
His Soul Body was continuously struck by the Heart Sword, while the over fifty Soul Force weapons surrounding his head kept attacking his skull and Soul Sea.
"Help me, quickly! My Soul Sea and Soul Body can't hold out much longer!"
The Fifth Layer Sovereign God's face was deathly pale as he cried out in panic for aid.
The other three Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods immediately released their Soul Force energy, flooding it into the pleading Sovereign God's Soul Sea to protect it and his Soul Body.
But these three Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods simply couldn't expel that Heart Sword, because the level of Ye Yunfei's current heart force energy was too high; it wasn't something a Fifth Layer Sovereign God could handle.
"Assemble the troops immediately! We go out to meet the enemy!"
After observing the situation outside for a moment, Lü Dandan said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, the Guardian Faction army outside possesses formidable overall strength, and they are led by several Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods. We might not be a match for them."
Hearing Lü Dandan's words, the Dark Faction powerhouse beside her couldn't help but be greatly startled.
By now, other upper echelons of the Dark Faction had also arrived one after another, gathering around Lü Dandan.
"It's fine. Our Dark Faction has its own reserves of strength."
"Now that others have come right to our doorstep to bully us, if our Dark Faction doesn't even dare to show its face, how will our reputation fare once word spreads? How will we continue to develop in this void?"
Lü Dandan stated coldly.
"The Queen speaks reason!"
Upon hearing her words, the surrounding high-level members all felt their spirits lift and answered in unison.
It must be said, the Dark Faction was also an ancient force within the Chaotic Void Sea with a long history of inheritance. Although they had declined now, that innate sense of pride still resided deep in the hearts of its members.
Moreover, as the headquarters of the Dark Faction, the Dark Sect indeed still possessed some hidden depths.
Following Lü Dandan's order, it wasn't long before a Dark Faction army was assembled in the void and gathered before her.
Lü Dandan waved her hand, leading this Dark Faction army like a torrential current of darkness, surging majestically out of the Dark Realm and into the outer void.
At this time, the Soul Body of that Fifth Layer Sovereign God under Ye Yunfei's attack was already riddled with wounds. With the help of the other three Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods, although he could barely hold on for now, his state was extremely pathetic. He emitted intermittent screams of pain along with angry roars.
So far, three of the six Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods dispatched by the Guardian Faction had been attacked, yet they still hadn't even seen the enemy's face, having no idea who had made a move.
Right then, Lü Dandan had already led the Dark Faction army out from the Dark Realm. They stood opposite, confronting the Guardian Faction army.
"Six Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods... it seems your Guardian Faction has no intention of letting our Dark Faction off."
Lü Dandan's gaze fell upon those several Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods as she spoke coldly.
"That's her! That little bitch, the Dark Queen!"
The gazes of those Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods immediately snapped to Lü Dandan.
"Ahhh…!"
The Fifth Layer Sovereign God currently under attack had his concentration slightly waver. His Soul Body was immediately cleaved in half by the Heart Sword, and he let out a piercing scream.
"Ahh... Damn it! Dark Queen, you little bitch, are you the one sneak attacking us? Cease immediately!"
The furious gazes of the other three Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods all landed on Lü Dandan. They were all convinced it must be Lü Dandan who had struck.
"Your Majesty, who would have thought your current Soul Power level was already so formidable! This is wonderful!
Now we have nothing to fear from these Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods."
The Dark Faction elders following behind Lü Dandan stared at the two Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods lying incapacitated across from them, and the one currently screaming. Each of them was visibly excited.
Because they too believed it was Lü Dandan who had acted.
Within the Dark Faction, Lü Dandan was renowned for her high talent and decisive character. In the minds of these Dark Faction elders, Lü Dandan's successful breakthrough during her closed-door cultivation surely meant her strength had taken a massive leap.
"It wasn't me. It should be some other power helping our Dark Faction from the shadows," Lü Dandan shook her head and said.
"What? Your Majesty, it wasn't you?" Hearing Lü Dandan's words, the other Dark Faction elders were all stunned.
"But which expert would help our Dark Faction from the shadows?"
"Using only Soul Force energy attacks to deal with and even injure Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods… there shouldn't be many powerhouses capable of that."
One of the Dark Faction elders asked doubtfully.
"That's right! Just which powerhouse would help our Dark Faction from the shadows? Could it be Ye Yunfei? No, impossible. His current strength is certainly greater than mine, but surely he hasn't reached such a level yet, right?"
The first person who popped into Lü Dandan's mind was actually Ye Yunfei, but she quickly dismissed the thought.
Because she felt Ye Yunfei likely hadn't yet grown to such heights—injuring three Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods using only Soul Force energy attacks.
"Ahh…!"
Right then, that Fifth Layer Sovereign God who had been screaming continuously suddenly raised his volume, letting out a final cry.
Then his head lolled to the side, his body went limp and sagged down, lying there motionless, his fate unknown.
In fact, his Soul Body had already been hacked apart by the Heart Sword.
"How can this be? How can the Dark Queen, that little bitch, possess such terrifying Soul Force energy attacks?"
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the three remaining Fifth Layer Sovereign Gods all turned horrified.
