"These are talismans from the Rune Sacred Land!"
Immediately after accepting the Invisibility Talismans handed to them by Ye Yunfei, several Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods recognized these talismans and exclaimed in surprise.
These Invisibility Talismans were ones Ye Yunfei had seized from several elders of the Rune Sacred Land earlier, inside Tianmu Shenjun's cultivation cave abode. Of course, Ye Yunfei would not easily reveal the source of these talismans.
Moments later, Ye Yunfei led these dozen or so Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect as they quietly infiltrated the battlefield.
Ferocious clashes raged everywhere on the battlefield, with troops from both sides colliding incessantly like crashing waves.
Moreover, both sides had deployed many battle formations, which rumbled forward like massive chariots crushing everything in their path.
The Sovereign Gods from both factions also sought out opponents to engage in duels, and large swathes of space were often left empty around the areas where those Sovereign Gods fought.
The combat energies unleashed during battles at the Sovereign God level were extremely terrifying. Heavenly Gods and beings of lower realms simply dared not approach, as a single stray surge of energy could instantly scatter them to ashes.
"Everyone, there are five Sovereign Gods here, all relatively weak. The strongest is only a Third Level Sovereign God.
We'll attack together, aiming to resolve them within half a breath. Also, try not to leak too much of our energy presence."
Ye Yunfei spoke as he immediately activated his Mind Reading Art and Heart Sword, attacking the soul bodies of those five Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods.
While Ye Yunfei used his techniques, the Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods following him also made their move.
For so many Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods to deal with five lower-realm Sovereign Gods was far too simple.
In an instant—less than a tenth of a breath—the five Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods were forcefully suppressed, then imprisoned by Ye Yunfei within the Phantom Tower.
With Ye Yunfei's strength, leading over a dozen Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, and launching surprise attacks specifically on First, Second, and Third Level Sovereign Gods... it felt like a pack of mighty lions ambushing a few chicks.
"Seniors, please note—the core principle of our operation is low profile!
Conceal your auras. The later we are discovered, the better.
Therefore, all of you must do your utmost to mask your energy presence."
Ye Yunfei reminded the Hunyuan Sect's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods again via sound transmission.
"What happened?"
On the battlefield, five or six Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods felt their vision blur momentarily, only to discover their opponents snatched away by over a dozen indistinct figures.
Since those dozen-odd blurred figures were shrouded by various profound, arcane energies and auras, it was difficult for anyone to clearly perceive or remember their true appearances and cultivation levels.
Thus, those Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods couldn't tell who had made the move, instantly capturing their combat adversaries.
Ye Yunfei, leading over a dozen Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, rushed toward several other Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods nearby.
The scale of the battlefield was vast, the numbers on both sides overwhelmingly large. Therefore, Ye Yunfei's group of over a dozen individuals roaming across this massive battlefield did not attract much attention.
No matter which area they moved to, the surroundings were flooded with surging tides of combat, packed to the brim with fighters.
"Strike!"
Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission to those Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, then activated his Mind Reading Art and Heart Sword.
Immediately, Ye Yunfei and those Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods attacked simultaneously, reaching forward. Massive energy palms descended from the sky with extreme speed.
By the time those present could even blink in confusion, not understanding what had transpired, three or four more Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods had vanished.
All these Sovereign Gods were suppressed and sealed, then imprisoned by Ye Yunfei inside the Phantom Tower.
And so, Ye Yunfei led over a dozen Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, along with companions like Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Huang Shang, roaming all over this chaotic battlefield. Whenever they encountered Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction's side, they would stealthily approach, then erupt into action, forcefully suppressing and sealing their targets with lightning speed.
During this process, quite a few Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods tried to resist. But facing the joint suppression by over a dozen Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, they were simply incapable of mounting any effective resistance.
Each time they made a move, Hu Miao would set up over a dozen Illusion Formations at the fastest speed, layering and surrounding the space around them.
This ensured that other beings in the vicinity couldn't quickly perceive exactly what had happened.
Initially, Ye Yunfei specifically targeted lower-level Sovereign Gods—primarily those at the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Levels.
These Sovereign Gods were easier to handle. Each takedown concluded in less than a tenth of a breath.
Thus, Ye Yunfei led over a dozen Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, continuously hunting down Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods on the battlefield.
As time passed, the numbers of First, Second, Third, and Fourth Level Sovereign Gods on the Guardian Faction's side grew fewer and fewer. Correspondingly, the Hunyuan Sect side now had many more Sovereign Gods at these four levels.
"Next, we'll target Fifth and Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods. Sovereign Gods at these two levels are stronger, so our coordination needs to be better, our speed even faster.
Moreover, we likely won't be undiscovered for much longer. Before that happens, the more Sovereign Gods we can eliminate, the better."
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell on two Fifth Level Sovereign Gods in the distance as he sent the sound transmission.
Then, Ye Yunfei utilized his movement technique, stealthily approaching those two distant Fifth Level Sovereign Gods.
Lord Wu, leading over a dozen Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, quietly followed behind.
After the previous operations, they had already developed a certain level of tacit understanding.
Soon, Ye Yunfei drew near the two Guardian Faction Fifth Level Sovereign Gods.
"That's strange. Have you noticed that our Guardian Faction side seems to have lost a portion of its Sovereign Gods? Especially those First, Second, Third, and Fourth Level ones. Why have they become so few? Could they all have been killed?"
These two Fifth Level Sovereign Gods were currently battling two Fifth Level Sovereign Gods from the Hunyuan Sect. During the fight, they exchanged sound transmissions.
"Strike."
At that very moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly accelerated, charging toward these two Fifth Level Sovereign Gods while simultaneously sending a sound transmission to Lord Wu and the other dozen-odd Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods behind him.
Ye Yunfei's movement speed was incredibly swift. With just one step, he arrived at the location of these two Fifth Level Sovereign Gods, then unleashed his Mind Reading Art and Heart Sword, targeting their soul bodies respectively.
Hu Miao immediately conjured several Illusion Formations, enveloping this area of space and creating all sorts of bizarre, kaleidoscopic scenes.
Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hun Lao also attacked simultaneously, unleashing their energy pressure to suppress the two Fifth Level Sovereign Gods.
Lord Wu and the other dozen-odd Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods behind them also charged straight in.
Boom...
An overwhelming surge of energy bore down on the two Fifth Level Sovereign Gods, instantly rendering them immobile, their faces filled with terror.
Ye Yunfei reached out with a grab, seizing the two Fifth Level Sovereign Gods in his palm. He forcefully suppressed, sealed, and then teleported them into the Phantom Tower. The entire process took merely a tenth of a breath.
After dealing with these two Fifth Level Sovereign Gods, Ye Yunfei, Lord Wu, and the others did not linger at all. They immediately rushed toward several other Fifth Level Sovereign Gods further away.
And so, Ye Yunfei led Lord Wu and the other dozen-odd Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, specifically targeting Fifth and Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods. Not long after, they suppressed and sealed another batch of Fifth and Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
"Just what is going on? Why have our Guardian Faction's Sovereign Gods suddenly diminished by so many?"
Finally, the Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods, especially the two Seventh Level Sovereign Gods leading them, began to sense that something was amiss.
Because their side's number of Sovereign Gods on the battlefield had unknowingly decreased by nearly a third.
Originally, the numbers and strengths of Sovereign Gods on both sides were quite balanced, which was why they had fought to a stalemate for so long. Now, with the Guardian Faction side's Sovereign Gods suddenly so reduced, the battle situation was immediately affected.
With so many extra Sovereign Gods appearing on the Hunyuan Sect's side, their fierce assault quickly gave them the upper hand.
At this time, Ye Yunfei led Lord Wu and the other dozen-odd Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, beginning to resolve Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods at an even faster pace.
Whenever they encountered a Guardian Faction Sovereign God, they would charge forward at top speed, then collectively attack, forcefully suppress and seal them, eliminating their targets in the shortest time possible.
"Young Master Ye's combat methods are truly too effective!"
Lord Wu and the other dozen-odd Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods grew increasingly excited, while also feeling even greater respect and admiration for Ye Yunfei in their hearts.
"Indeed. If we had led the main army charging in directly from the start, the effect might not have been this good.
Moreover, alerting the Guardian Faction's upper echelons prematurely might have caused the Guardian Faction to also dispatch more troops to balance the numbers.
Now, we've unknowingly killed so many Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods, inflicting such heavy losses. In this battle, our Hunyuan Sect side has already seized a clear advantage."
"Young Master Ye not only possesses extraordinary strength, but his intelligence and methods far surpass us old-timers. We truly feel ashamed by comparison!"
The Hunyuan Sect's dozen-odd Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods were extremely thrilled.
"What is happening?
Why have the Guardian Faction's Sovereign Gods decreased so significantly without anyone noticing?"
At this moment, the two Seventh Level Sovereign Gods leading the Hunyuan Sect forces also began to feel puzzled.
"There's something strange about that group of over a dozen people!"
Suddenly, one of the Guardian Faction's Seventh Level Sovereign Gods sharply turned his gaze toward Ye Yunfei and the Hunyuan Sect's dozen-odd Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
