This Fourth-Level Sovereign God... his movements were incredibly fast, and he instantly closed the distance to appear right in front of Ye Yunfei.
His extended palm continuously expanded, resembling a massive cloud layer that blotted out the sky and covered Ye Yunfei's head from above, intending to grasp him whole in the palm of his hand.
"How dare someone of your level try to make a move against me."
It was only when that Fourth-Level Sovereign God's palm arrived above his head that Ye Yunfei finally moved. Reaching out, he firmly grasped the arm of this Fourth-Level Sovereign God. With a forceful swing, the Sovereign God lost all control as Ye Yunfei lifted him high into the air and began to whirl him around.
With the level of physical strength Ye Yunfei now possessed, dealing with a Fourth-Level Sovereign God was akin to a strong adult man handling a two or three-year-old child.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei's attack speed was simply too fast; that Fourth-Level Sovereign God had no time whatsoever to react or dodge.
He only felt a sudden lightness in his body before realizing he was already being spun in several circles within Ye Yunfei's grasp, resembling a kite.
"How is this possible?
Kid, put me down immediately!"
The Fourth-Level Sovereign God roared loudly, a mix of shock and rage.
Ye Yunfei paid him no mind whatsoever. He directly sealed both the man's physical body and Soul Body. Then, his hand shot forth again, continuously expanding as it reached towards another Fourth-Level Sovereign God.
*Honglonglong…*
Terrifying physical strength poured out majestically from Ye Yunfei's palm, forcibly suppressing the space ahead all at once.
The few Fourth-Level Sovereign Gods ahead suddenly sensed Ye Yunfei's dreadful physical power, and their faces instantly paled drastically.
"Not good! This kid's physical strength is so terrifying! I'm afraid we are no match for him."
Those few Fourth-Level Sovereign Gods realized they were already somewhat hindered in their movement. The terrifyingly powerful physical force had already sealed the very space they occupied. It was as if countless divine mountains were pressing down on them; even moving a step was difficult, let alone fighting.
However, Ye Yunfei's speed was just that fast. He gave those Fourth-Level Sovereign Gods no extra time for consideration. With a grab of his hand, he seized them all into his palm, as if picking up several small chicks.
"How is this possible?!
An actual Heavenly God possessing physical strength to this extent? I refuse to believe it!"
Those Fourth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction refused to believe it right until they were suppressed and sealed by Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei directly sealed both the physical bodies and Soul Bodies of those Fourth-Level Sovereign Gods before storing them inside his Illusory Shadow Tower.
Then, he also pulled over the corporeal bodies of the three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods whose souls he had previously destroyed.
Ye Yunfei also collected all the soul fragments of these three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods, not wasting anything.
"You don't need to deal with these guys before us. Leave them to me.
Your strength is too overwhelming; if you act, their physical bodies and Soul Bodies might all be shattered in an instant. That would be such a waste."
Before Ye Yunfei could continue making a move, Huang Shang had already rushed out of the Illusory Shadow Tower.
He knew that as Ye Yunfei's strength continued to rise, members of the Guardian Faction at this general level stood no chance. If Ye Yunfei exerted his strength just a little heavier, the Guardian Faction army before them could very well be utterly annihilated, completely obliterated.
Once the disparity in strength between the two sides reached a certain threshold, mere numbers could no longer compensate for it.
The moment Huang Shang appeared, he unleashed his army of vengeful spirits and his forces of animated corpses.
In an instant, the void in this area seethed with dense ghostly miasma while corpse energy soared to the heavens. The two sinister and terrifying armies surged forward to attack, immediately immersing the troops of the Guardian Faction in boundless ghostly miasma and corpse energies.
"Hand over all the valuable things!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also appeared, charging into the midst of the Guardian Faction's forces to begin collecting the spoils of battle on the field.
Hu Miao appeared as well. The Primordial Fox Monument flew out from within her, hovering above her head and radiating endless illusions of energy and illusionary principles.
Everywhere she passed, the Guardian Faction's army immediately fell into one illusory maze after another, thoroughly losing their way.
Seeing Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hu Miao all taking action one after another, Ye Yunfei gave a slight smile and stood to the side, ceasing his own actions.
Because Ye Yunfei understood that with the strength of these three comrades, dealing with the Guardian Faction army before them was more than sufficient.
At this moment, Lü Dandan and those three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods were still intensely engaged in combat. Although Lü Dandan had only just broken through, the strength she displayed was actually on par with, if not superior to, those three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction.
"Miss Lü's talent for combat truly is terrifying," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei. "Having just broken through, she can fight one against three, and by the looks of it, she has a chance to win this fight.
I believe there are two reasons. First is Miss Lü's inherent talent. The second is the Dark Heart."
"Miss Lü's talent is indeed outstanding," Ye Yunfei agreed, watching Lü Dandan unleash her divine might, forcing those three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction into repeated retreats. "The Dark Heart is a great treasure of the Dark Faction. After Miss Lü refined the Dark Heart, combined with her natural talent, it is no surprise her strength has increased to this extent."
"Our Queen can already contend with Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods, and even battle one against three! How impressive!"
At this time, the other high-ranking officials of the Dark Faction had all rushed forward, standing on the periphery to observe the battle, ready to assist Lü Dandan if needed at any moment. Seeing the formidable combat prowess Lü Dandan displayed, these senior members were extremely excited.
"Young Master Ye, thank you for helping our Dark Faction."
Several high-ranking, influential elders of the Dark Faction walked up to Ye Yunfei, expressing their gratitude.
These Dark Faction elders had just received a soul message from Lü Dandan, informing them that it was Ye Yunfei who had attacked and slain the three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction earlier.
"No need for courtesy. We are all one of our own," Ye Yunfei responded with a nod.
"Young Master Ye speaks truly. We are indeed one of our own," those elders of the Dark Faction nodded excitedly.
Previously, Ye Yunfei didn't even need to show his face to slay those three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction. Such strength and methods were truly astonishing.
These high-ranking members of the Dark Faction understood clearly in their hearts that for their faction to form ties with such a powerful individual would undoubtedly bring them many benefits.
"Everyone, don't you all think Young Master Ye and our Queen are quite well-suited for each other?"
Suddenly, one of the Dark Faction elders sent a private mental message to the others.
"Is there even any need to say that?
I sensed long ago that Young Master Ye and our Queen share a deep connection. Perhaps they have long held feelings for each other.
With Young Master Ye's strength, he would indeed be a worthy match for our Queen," another elder immediately chimed in.
"Young Master Ye is indeed worthy of our Queen. And regardless, his relationship with our Dark Faction is excellent. In the future, should anything happen to our faction, Young Master Ye would certainly not stand idly by.
Having such a powerful ally like Young Master Ye makes us feel somewhat more confident when facing the Guardian Faction," yet another elder commented.
"Just made another small fortune! All these items are spoils of war."
At that moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transformed into a streak of golden light that flashed to Ye Yunfei's side before handing him a large number of spatial rings.
Huang Shang and Hu Miao also walked over.
The Guardian Faction's army had long been utterly defeated. The vast majority of the corpses and Soul Bodies fell into Huang Shang's hands, while all the remaining spoils from the battlefield were collected by the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"I never expected Young Master Ye's companions to possess such frightening strength as well!"
Although these Dark Faction elders had seen the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, and Hu Miao fight before, witnessing them annihilate an entire Guardian Faction army within such a short time still left them deeply shocked.
At this point, only Lü Dandan was still engaged in battle against the three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods.
During the fight, the dark energy and dark principles she released had completely enveloped that area of space, transforming it into a world of darkness.
The three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction grew more apprehensive the longer the battle dragged on, as they realized they had become utterly trapped within an energy domain created by Lü Dandan.
Within this energy domain, Lü Dandin was like a fish in water, while the three of them were severely suppressed.
Ye Yunfei watched as the Dark Heart within Lü Dandan beat powerfully and rhythmically, each pulse emanating terrifying dark energy.
Thick black chains clattered loudly within that dark world, writhing like several colossal dark dragons, sealing off this shadowy realm completely.
"Excellent! The power of the Dark World cultivated by Her Majesty grows stronger and stronger.
As long as those three are trapped within Her Majesty's Dark World, even if their individual strength surpasses our Queen's, they stand no chance against her now."
The elders of the Dark Faction watched with great excitement, discussing fervently.
"Damn it! We must think of a way to escape. This wretched girl's power is too frightening!
And that surnamed Ye brat is still watching nearby. He might attack us at any time."
At this point, those three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction had long wished to flee. However, Lü Dandan's executed Dark World had already completely sealed them inside, heavily suppressing their strength. Their movement speed was severely reduced as well. Every time they tried to turn and escape, numerous thick black chains would clash and rush towards them head-on, giving them no chance to flee whatsoever.
The sight of Ye Yunfei standing idly by with his hands clasped behind his back, merely observing the battle, also placed immense pressure on these three Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods. They knew that if Ye Yunfei decided to join the fight, their fate could very well mirror that of their three companions earlier.
"Dark Queen! Does your Dark Faction truly intend to tear all decorum with our Guardian Faction and fight to the bitter end?
If you release us three now, perhaps the grudge between your faction and our Guardian Faction could still be mended. Otherwise, our Guardian Faction will definitely not let your faction off!" one of the Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods suddenly exclaimed.
"Still room for mending?
From start to finish, it has been your Guardian Faction constantly coming to provoke our Dark Faction. My faction has only ever acted in self-defense.
During this period, your Guardian Faction has been hunting our members throughout the Third Void, resulting in the deaths and injuries of many of our disciples.
I will definitely settle this account with your Guardian Faction. Even if your faction wishes to mend relations, our Dark Faction will never agree.
Did you truly think our Dark Faction is easy to bully?" Lü Dandan's cold, impassive face revealed a frigid sneer.
"Dark Queen, aren't you afraid at all of our Guardian Faction's retaliation?" another Fifth-Level Sovereign God angrily shouted.
"Retaliation?
Even if I let you three go now, would your Guardian Faction truly refrain from seeking revenge against us?
Your Guardian Faction's wolfish ambitions are known to all!
Enough with this nonsense. Prepare to meet your death!"
Lü Dandan let out a fierce cry. The two wings of the colossal black phoenix behind her slashed forward simultaneously, immediately smashing one of the Fifth-Level Sovereign Gods and sending him flying backward while coughing up blood incessantly.
"Splendidly said! Truly worthy of being the Dark Queen."
Right at that moment, an ancient, archaic voice echoed from within the Dark Realm.
This voice was overwhelmingly immense, resonating as if a will from the Heavenly Dao itself had manifested, reaching the ears of every present person with a droning vibration that even caused their Soul Bodies to tremble in resonance.
