"Convey my order. Full retreat. Escape as many as you can, to preserve some strength for our Hunyuan Sect."
The yellow-robed elder sighed once more, fully accepting reality as he spoke.
Though each of the other Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect was unwilling, circumstances forced their hand. In the current situation, if the Hunyuan Sect's main force still did not retreat, the losses would likely become even more devastating.
Following the yellow-robed elder's command, the Hunyuan Sect's forces began to withdraw from the battlefield in groups, heading in different directions.
"Hahaha… Thinking of fleeing only now? Isn't it a bit too late? Block them! Don't let a single one escape!"
A Sixth-Level Sovereign God from the Guardian Faction looked at the Hunyuan Sect forces withdrawing in various directions and laughed wildly. He soared into the air and shouted loudly.
Immediately, the Guardian Faction's main force also began dividing into groups to intercept or pursue the Hunyuan Sect's forces.
And so, the Hunyuan Sect's side split into at least six or seven groups, fleeing in different directions. The Guardian Faction's main force also divided into several groups, giving chase in various directions.
Although the location of the battlefield began to shift, the fighting continued.
"Continue dispersing! Don't let everyone gather together, or we'll easily be wiped out."
The leading yellow-robed elder of the Hunyuan Sect, seeing the situation before him, issued another command.
At this moment, the yellow-robed elder and the other Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect were also withdrawing in separate groups.
"You won't escape!"
At least seven Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction had their eyes fixed on this yellow-robed elder. All wore cold smiles on their faces as they swiftly gave chase.
"Protect Lord Wu! Lord Wu must not come to harm!"
The other Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect saw the yellow-robed elder being pursued by so many Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods and grew anxious, rushing toward Lord Wu's location.
Because the yellow-robed elder was the supreme commander of this army. If he were killed, the impact would be significant.
"Don't worry about me! Hurry and withdraw separately!"
The yellow-robed elder, seeing so many of the Hunyuan Sect's Sovereign Gods rushing to help him fight the enemy, was touched in his heart, but he shouted loudly, urging the other Sovereign Gods to flee quickly.
"Stay right there!"
A spatial rift suddenly appeared in a certain area of space in front of the yellow-robed elder. A golden long spear shot out from within the spatial rift, rapidly enlarging and transforming into a gigantic golden dragon that blocked the elder's path.
It turned out a powerful expert from the Guardian Faction had used a highly advanced spatial secret technique, getting ahead to cut off the yellow-robed elder's escape route.
"Get out of my way!"
The yellow-robed elder roared angrily and threw a punch forward. A giant fist imprint instantly manifested, striking toward the golden spear blocking his path.
"You don't have the skill to make me get out of the way!"
A middle-aged man in golden robes appeared ahead, saying with a cold laugh.
The other Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction chasing from behind also caught up, surrounding the yellow-robed elder completely and launching a fierce assault.
"Let's go over and fight alongside Lord Wu!"
The other Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect, seeing this, all increased their speed, charging toward the yellow-robed elder's position.
"Don't worry about me! Hurry and leave this place separately!"
The yellow-robed elder immediately sent a Sound Transmission to the Hunyuan Sect's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
Because he knew that if all of his side's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods gathered here, then the Guardian Faction's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods would also immediately concentrate here all at once, reverting to the previous state of chaotic warfare between the two sides. That would not be conducive to the escape of his own forces.
Without the command of these Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, the rest of his side's forces would likely suffer even heavier casualties.
"Hahaha… None of you will escape! Every single member of the Hunyuan Sect on this battlefield must die. This is the price for opposing our Guardian Faction."
Right at this moment, from the distant void, another group of forces suddenly appeared, rolling in like a tide. Leading them were over twenty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
"Not good! The Guardian Faction actually has reinforcements!"
The Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect felt their hearts sink upon seeing this.
Originally, the number of Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods on the Hunyuan Sect's side was already inferior to the enemy's. Now, with over twenty more Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods arriving for the Guardian Faction, it was adding further insult to injury.
"Everyone, don't mind me! Leave quickly, or it will be too late! Preserving our strength is paramount. Our army cannot be completely wiped out!"
Lord Wu grew frantic. He sent Sound Transmissions to the other Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods who were charging toward his position, urging them to leave immediately.
However, the other Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect knew that if they left, abandoning the already surrounded yellow-robed elder, Lord Wu's fate would certainly be death.
They all had deep feelings for this yellow-robed elder, as they were all old acquaintances, and they couldn't bear to watch him stay here waiting for death.
"Stop them all! Don't let a single one escape!"
Over twenty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction rolling in from the distance increased their speed. The leading old man shouted loudly.
The over twenty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods behind him immediately dispersed, charging toward the Hunyuan Sect's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
Behind those over twenty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods was another wave of the Guardian Faction's forces, also scattering like a tidal wave to pursue and kill in different directions.
"It seems that not many from the army I lead will survive in the end."
Seeing this scene, an overwhelming sense of despair welled up in the yellow-robed elder's heart.
"Act quickly and finish the battle here. Then we move to the next battlefield. Soon, our Guardian Faction will completely control the Fifth Void. Once we control the Fifth Void, our Guardian Faction's armies will go to the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Voids to annihilate the so-called Alliance Army and reclaim control over those three voids."
An elderly man from the Guardian Faction looked at the battlefield before him with cold eyes and slowly spoke, radiating a sense of being in total control.
His voice, though not loud, echoed across the vast void, imposing immense pressure on every member of the Hunyuan Sect.
"I think you're being overly optimistic."
Right at this moment, a clear, cold voice came from the distant void.
"Who goes there?"
The Guardian Faction elder who had just spoken instantly flew into a rage and turned to look.
Then he saw a young man in the distant void striding forth, with an army following behind him.
"He seems to be… Ye Yunfei?"
The Guardian Faction elder who had just spoken stared at the young man striding over from afar. His eyes narrowed as a name surfaced in his mind.
"That's right, it's him! That brat surnamed Ye! The branches our Guardian Faction had in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Voids were destroyed by him. Good! This kid has some nerve. He actually dares to come to the Fifth Void and even dares to provoke me face-to-face!"
After recognizing Ye Yunfei, the Guardian Faction elder instantly erupted with soaring killing intent.
"It's him, that brat surnamed Ye!"
At this moment, even more Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction recognized Ye Yunfei.
"Headquarters has already issued a kill order for this brat surnamed Ye. Since he dares to appear here, we cannot let him leave alive!"
Immediately, over a dozen Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction simultaneously activated movement techniques, charging toward Ye Yunfei.
"Lord Wu! We're here to support you!"
At this moment, the Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods following behind Ye Yunfei all increased their speed and charged forward. Leading them were two Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods. As soon as they saw the yellow-robed elder, they shouted loudly.
"What are you two doing here? Weren't you responsible for a minor battlefield?"
Seeing the two Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods following behind Ye Yunfei, the yellow-robed elder immediately frowned.
"Did you two abandon your battlefield because the fighting went poorly?" Lord Wu asked via Sound Transmission.
"It seems our Hunyuan Sect is still no match for the Guardian Faction in this Fifth Void. We were too impatient. We misjudged the strength of both sides and initiated the decisive battle too early. In this war within the void, our Hunyuan Sect might lose."
The yellow-robed elder couldn't help but lament inwardly.
He assumed the two Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods must have been unable to defeat the Guardian Faction's army, and thus led their remaining forces in fleeing that battlefield.
"Lord Wu, rest assured. The battle on the battlefield we were responsible for has already concluded. Our Hunyuan Sect side achieved a great victory, having annihilated the Guardian Faction's army on that battlefield. Now, we have come here with Young Master Ye to support your battlefield!"
The two Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods replied simultaneously.
"What? You achieved a great victory on that battlefield and annihilated the Guardian Faction's army?"
The yellow-robed elder simply couldn't believe it.
At this moment, over a dozen of the Guardian Faction's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods had already closed in on Ye Yunfei, completely surrounding him.
"Brat surnamed Ye, your luck has been good until now. Even though you've been hunted by our Guardian Faction all along, you've managed to survive. However, this time your luck has run out. There's no way you can fly away from here!"
A Sixth-Level Sovereign God holding a long blade in his hand said with a cold laugh.
As he spoke, he raised the long blade in his hand and slashed it toward Ye Yunfei.
For a moment, dense, numerous blade energies erupted continuously, blotting out the sky and covering the earth as they came.
Ye Yunfei drew his longsword and slashed forward. With a *clang*, he directly cleaved the long blade in two. The myriad blade energies filling the sky instantly vanished completely.
Before that Sixth-Level Sovereign God could react, Ye Yunfei clenched his left fist and threw a punch. The phantom of a world instantly appeared above the man's head, rumbling as it pressed down to suppress him.
This was the Great World Divine Fist!
"Attack together! This brat surnamed Ye's strength is a bit peculiar."
A Sixth-Level Sovereign God shouted loudly, raising a heavy battle halberd as he attacked Ye Yunfei.
The other Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods also made their moves, unleashing all sorts of ultimate killer moves as they joined forces to besiege Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei held his sword in his right hand and swung his fist with his left, employing sword techniques and fist techniques respectively to engage the dozen or so Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
"Is that kid too arrogant? He actually wants to fight over a dozen Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods simultaneously? That's going a bit too far, isn't it?"
All beings witnessing this scene felt shocked. Fighting over a dozen Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods at once—such an action seemed simply suicidal.
