"Excellent, I will issue the orders immediately."
The other Seventh-Level Sovereign God's eyes lit up, and he promptly gave the command.
Instantly, over twenty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction simultaneously activated their movement techniques, closing in on Ye Yunfei from all sides.
"Young Master Ye, be careful. If you can't handle them, come to our position immediately," the two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods from the Hunyuan Sect transmitted upon seeing this, urging caution.
"Seniors, rest assured. These fellows alone are not enough to deal with me," Ye Yunfei replied with a cold laugh as he watched the Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction charging toward him from different directions.
"Fantastic! There are so many Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods coming our way!"
Lord Wu and the other Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods trailing behind Ye Yunfei were not afraid upon seeing the swarm of Guardian Faction's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods charging over. On the contrary, they grew excited.
Earlier, on the battlefield commanded by Lord Wu, Ye Yunfei had lured a large group of the Guardian Faction's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods and then annihilated them all at once. That time, they had wiped out over forty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods. With only a little over twenty now charging at them, the number was still far from enough.
"Young Master Ye, what should we do next?" Lord Wu asked, his gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei.
"Ignore them. Stick to our previous method: let them all gather. The more, the merrier," Ye Yunfei replied via Sound Transmission.
Everyone felt a surge of fighting spirit upon receiving Ye Yunfei's transmission.
"It seems we can achieve another great merit on this battlefield. Everyone, stay sharp, react quickly, and be ready to act on Young Master Ye's command at any moment," Lord Wu transmitted to the other Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, urging them.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei's eyes locked onto several Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction not far away. With a wave of his hand, he led everyone to charge over.
"These talismans can increase your speed. Refine them immediately," Ye Yunfei said, taking out a thick stack of talismans and sending them to hover before Lord Wu and the dozen-plus Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods with another gesture.
"These are all talismans from the Rune Sacred Land, and high-grade ones at that!"
The eyes of the dozen-plus Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods shone brightly.
High-grade talismans from the Rune Sacred Land were highly sought after within the Chaotic Void Sea. Many major forces spared no expense to procure them—they were not something just anyone could possess.
Lord Wu and the others immediately refined the speed-boosting talismans and affixed them to their bodies.
"It really increases speed! My speed is at least twice as fast now."
"Mine might be three times faster than before!"
…
Soon, those Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods showed excited expressions, as they discovered the talismans indeed boosted their speed, and the effect was quite significant.
In no time, Ye Yunfei led them charging towards another group of Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods and attacked directly.
Within less than half a breath, they easily dispatched these Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods as well.
The twenty-something Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods who had been surrounding Ye Yunfei found themselves left behind. Fuming with rage, they continued their pursuit.
In terms of speed, Ye Yunfei was much faster than these Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
And thanks to the talismans, the dozen-plus Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods following him also gained significant speed.
"Let's kill a few more Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods, then wait for those fellows to gather so we can annihilate them all together," Ye Yunfei transmitted to Lord Wu, glancing back at the pursuing Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
Following that, Ye Yunfei led his team and successively killed dozens more Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods.
Since these Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods' strength was relatively low—mostly First to Fifth Level Sovereign Gods—they stood no chance against Ye Yunfei's small squad and were all slain in an instant.
The twenty-plus Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods chasing Ye Yunfei saw their comrades being slaughtered one after another and reached the peak of fury, howling in rage.
They pushed their speed to the limit, gritting their teeth as they desperately tried to catch up.
"Ye surnamed bastard! If you have any guts, stop and face us like a real man!"
"Damned! What kind of hero runs away all the time?!"
The twenty-plus Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods roared loudly as they gave chase.
"That Ye bastard has already killed so many of our Sovereign Gods!"
Witnessing this scene, the two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods on the Guardian Faction's side were also enraged to the extreme.
They relentlessly attacked the Hunyuan Sect's two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods, trying desperately to break free and charge over to deal with Ye Yunfei.
But the two Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods pressed them closely, giving them no chance to move against Ye Yunfei.
"You really want to fight me? Fine. I'll grant your wish."
At that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly halted his steps and came to a stop.
Lord Wu and the dozen-plus Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods understood Ye Yunfei's intent. They immediately stopped as well, turning around to coldly watch the Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods rapidly approaching. Dense killing intent swirled in their eyes.
Soon, the twenty-plus Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods arrived.
"Ye bastard, your time has come!"
The Sixth-Level Sovereign God at the forefront let out a furious roar, charging toward Ye Yunfei like a ferocious beast descending a mountain, his aura aggressive.
Ye Yunfei threw out a punch, unleashing the Shattering God Fist technique, and directly forced this Sixth-Level Sovereign God back. He then launched several more punches in succession, pushing back a few more Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
Using the Dauntless God's inheritance, Ye Yunfei handled these Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods with relative ease.
"Let's face the enemy together with Young Master Ye!"
Lord Wu shouted loudly, leading the dozen-plus Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods in a surge forward to clash with the Guardian Faction's Sovereign Gods.
On Ye Yunfei's side, there were roughly fifteen Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, while the Guardian Faction had a total of twenty-two.
Though the numbers differed, the Hunyuan Sect side had Ye Yunfei personally leading the fight, holding their ground without retreating a single step. Instead, they forced the Guardian Faction's Sovereign Gods into continuous retreat.
Ye Yunfei alone could easily battle five or six Sovereign Gods.
"Send more Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods! We must kill that Ye bastard no matter the cost."
Seeing that the over twenty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods could not overwhelm Ye Yunfei, the Guardian Faction's two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods grew anxious. They immediately sent Sound Transmission orders, summoning even more Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods from other parts of the battlefield to attack Ye Yunfei.
Upon receiving the transmission, over ten more Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods activated their movement techniques, charging toward Ye Yunfei's position and launching attacks.
These Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods had Ye Yunfei as their primary target, so throughout the fight, they constantly directed their attacks at him.
Lord Wu, leading the dozen-plus Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, surrounded Ye Yunfei, constantly helping him block and parry the various incoming attacks.
Facing the frenzied assaults of over thirty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, Ye Yunfei remained remarkably calm. His right hand gripped a sword, his left fist swung out as he simultaneously executed sword techniques and fist arts, cleaving out thick sword beams and sending out massive fist projections, methodically blocking the attacks of the Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
Furthermore, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang also appeared beside Ye Yunfei, joining the fray.
"Two Ancient Beasts and a ghost cultivator! That kid actually has three such powerful beings by his side!" someone exclaimed in shock.
From afar, the Guardian Faction's two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods watched, furious and shocked to see over thirty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods still unable to bring Ye Yunfei down.
One of the Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods pondered briefly, then issued another command. Another dozen-plus Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods broke away from other positions on the battlefield and charged toward Ye Yunfei.
The two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods were now determined to kill Ye Yunfei at all costs.
This brought the total number of Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods surrounding Ye Yunfei to roughly forty.
"Just like before. It seems we are set to make great merits in this battle as well," Lord Wu and the dozen-plus Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods grew excited, looking at the over forty murderous Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
"Everyone, get ready... the hunt begins!" Ye Yunfei transmitted, gazing at the Guardian Faction's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods frantically attacking him.
"Young Master Ye, we are ready," Lord Wu and the dozen-plus Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods transmitted back simultaneously, each brimming with vigor.
Ye Yunfei flicked his hand, tossing out over ten formation flags.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Formations were activated one after another, overlapping layers of formation light screens emerging endlessly, piling up around them.
Ye Yunfei had been secretly setting up formations during the battle.
Hu Miao pointed her finger, and numerous illusion formations also continuously manifested.
At the same time, Huang Shang activated a large batch of ghost formations and ghost walls he had prepared earlier.
Thus, within the surrounding space, all sorts of formations stacked upon each other, creating bizarre and kaleidoscopic scenes, a magnificent sight to behold.
Caught within the layers of formations, the Guardian Faction's over forty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods were now suppressed by the formations. Panic-stricken, expressions of terror flashed across their faces.
The Hunyuan Sect's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, however, remained completely unaffected.
By now, the overlapping formations had completely sealed off the interior space from the outside world, turning it into an isolated, enclosed area.
Furthermore, under the influence of the various illusion and ghost formations, all sorts of eerie scenes continuously shifted, making it impossible to distinguish reality from illusion.
"Now! Kill them all!"
Following Ye Yunfei's command, he took out three Gravity Spheres and fiercely activated them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three Gravity Spheres simultaneously released vast, surging gravitational energy. The terrifying gravitational force pressed down on the Guardian Faction's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, making their bodies unbearably heavy. Forget fighting; even moving became difficult.
The Hunyuan Sect members remained entirely unaffected.
At Ye Yunfei's order, the dozen-plus Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods immediately launched a frenzied assault.
Pitifully, the Guardian Faction's Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods had already lost all capacity to resist, left standing there, lambs to the slaughter.
Scream after scream rang out.
One after another, Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods were either suppressed, sealed, or—for those who desperately tried to resist—had their Soul Bodies directly devoured by Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang.
"What on earth is happening?!"
The Guardian Faction's two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods grew anxious.
They saw their own Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods suddenly trapped within layers of formations, heard the screams emanating from within, and knew things had taken a dire turn.
