In truth, given Ye Yunfei’s current strength, he was no match for this Ancient Demon Race expert.
Neither the Heavenly Soul Sword nor the Summon Fiend with a Thought technique could truly harm this Ancient Demon Race being.
What he truly feared was the sliver of the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant soul that Ye Yunfei possessed!
It was important to know that a Heavenly Emperor was an existence standing at the absolute peak of the martial world.
Even just a sliver of their remnant soul was enough to intimidate and drive away countless demons and ghosts in the world!
For a moment, this Ancient Demon Race expert was extremely wary of Ye Yunfei.
At this moment.
“Kid, you just wait!
How dare you provoke me? I’ve remembered you!
Once I truly revive and restore myself to my peak, I will not let you off!”
The remnant soul of that Ancient Demon Race roared with fury, withdrawing from Ye Yunfei’s soul sea and returning into the head of its corpse.
Then.
Whoosh…
A vast swarm of Ghost Bats, Ghost Crows, and Yin Soldiers poured incessantly into the palace, charging maniacally towards Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao.
The number of these ghost creatures was truly immense.
In a short moment, they filled the entire palace to the brim.
Ye Yunfei activated the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel. Nine divine beasts floated around his body, holding back the tide of ghost creatures that surged towards them.
Next.
Ye Yunfei flicked his finger.
The Earth Flame flew out from his fingertip and instantly erupted into a raging inferno, transforming into a sea of red flames that encircled Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao.
Immediately, many ghost creatures that came into contact with the blazing fire began to burn, emitting shrill, wretched screams.
The Earth Flame was a heaven and earth wondrous fire of Yang attribute. It was exceptionally effective against these ghost creatures.
Whoosh…
At that moment, the Ancient Demon Race corpse opened its mouth wide once more and sucked in violently. Thick streams of Flesh and Blood Essence once again converged from all directions into the palace, rushing into its mouth.
Earlier, in order to deal with Ye Yunfei, this Ancient Demon Race creature had ceased absorbing the Flesh and Blood Essence of the human warriors.
Now, it had started again.
Clearly, this Ancient Demon Race being was resuming its revival.
As long as it consumed enough Flesh and Blood Essence, it could resurrect.
“I wonder if the Gluttonous Beast can absorb this Flesh and Blood Essence.”
As Ye Yunfei watched the streams of essence, like mighty rivers, continuously rushing into the mouth of the Ancient Demon Race corpse, this thought suddenly occurred to him.
The Nine Palaces Totem Wheel cultivated the totems of nine divine beasts in total.
They were respectively the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Kun Peng, Thunder Marsh, Gluttonous Beast, Candle Radiance, and Ghostly Flicker.
Among them, the Gluttonous Beast was a fierce and ferocious divine beast with a devouring talent, capable of eating anything. It was also known as the Sky-Swallowing Beast.
Ye Yunfei focused his intent.
ROAR…
A divine beast with overwhelming ferocity and a savage visage charged forward.
Then, this divine beast suddenly opened its massive maw wide and inhaled forcefully.
Whoosh…
A terrifying suction force erupted from its gaping mouth. Immediately, the streams of Flesh and Blood Essence that were originally rushing towards the mouth of the Ancient Demon Race corpse changed direction, instead flowing into the mouth of this divine beast.
“Truly worthy of being the Sky-Swallowing Beast. This devouring ability is immensely powerful!”
Ye Yunfei was both shocked and delighted.
The Nine Palaces Totem Wheel technique was something Ye Yunfei had obtained by accident when he entered an ancient ruin in his past life.
In his previous life, Ye Yunfei had not cultivated it.
Therefore, this life was his first time practicing it.
Its various wondrous functions were only being discovered now.
“ROAR…
Damned! Damned…
You wretched human boy! You dare to sabotage my grand revival plan!”
Deafening roars of rage emanated from the head of that Ancient Demon Race being.
“Let’s go.
We’re leaving.”
Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao.
As long as he prevented that Ancient Demon Race creature from devouring Flesh and Blood Essence, he could halt its revival.
And the corpses of those human warriors were all outside the palace. Therefore, Ye Yunfei intended to go out and destroy those corpses.
“Understood.”
Hu Miao nodded.
Thus, grabbing Hu Miao, Ye Yunfei directly activated the Heavenly Shadow Robe and vanished from the palace.
The Ancient Demon Race expert wanted to stop Ye Yunfei from leaving, but couldn’t do so.
The next moment.
Ye Yunfei had already appeared outside the palace.
He saw that the underground world was littered with the corpses of human warriors—so many that they numbered in the thousands.
Among them, many corpses had already been completely drained of their Flesh and Blood Essence, reduced to piles of ash.
Roughly half of the bodies had not yet had their essence extracted and were still bloodied.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, drawing corpses towards him and piling them in front of himself.
Whoosh…
Behind Ye Yunfei, the Gluttonous Beast opened its huge mouth wide, extracting and devouring the Flesh and Blood Essence from these corpses.
Soon, those corpses began to shrivel up and wither.
Meanwhile, the aura emanating from the Gluttonous Beast grew stronger and more vigorous!
“So, that’s how this Gluttonous Beast can be cultivated.
Devouring the Flesh and Blood Essence of living beings can make it grow stronger!”
Ye Yunfei felt somewhat excited in his heart.
Among the nine divine beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, the Azure Dragon currently possessed the greatest strength.
The other eight divine beasts were, in comparison, much weaker.
Who would have thought that Ye Yunfei had now discovered a method to cultivate the Gluttonous Beast?
ROAR! ROAR…
The furious roars of the Ancient Demon Race expert echoed from within the palace, reverberating throughout the underground world.
“That Ancient Demon Race creature is beginning to go berserk.”
At this moment, Huang Shang also emerged from the palace.
He was a Ghost Cultivator and could merge into any substance.
Therefore, the ghost creatures inside the palace couldn’t harm him at all.
Just then.
RUMBLE…
The entire underground world began to shake violently. Everything started to disintegrate and collapse.
The palaces also cracked and crumbled one after another, dust and debris rolling up in great clouds.
Then.
Massive rocks and large amounts of earth fell incessantly from above like a rainstorm, threatening to bury this underground world.
“Master, it seems that Ancient Demon Race creature intends to destroy this underground world.”
Hu Miao said.
“Yes.
Let’s get out of here.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
He understood that while he could temporarily prevent the Ancient Demon Race expert from reviving,
he lacked the power to truly eradicate it.
Staying here would be pointless.
“Prepare to leave.
However, before we go, I want to grab a batch of Ancient Demon Race corpses!”
Ye Yunfei’s gaze shifted towards the crumbling palaces as he spoke.
Every palace held a large number of Ancient Demon Race corpses!
As soon as the words left his lips,
Ye Yunfei activated the Heavenly Shadow Robe for a tenfold speed boost, instantly darting into one of the palaces. With a sweep of his hand, he sent stone coffin after stone coffin teleporting into the Phantom Tower.
Immediately, large numbers of ghost creatures appeared—including Ghost Bats, Ghost Crows, and Yin Soldiers—charging at Ye Yunfei, trying to stop him.
However, Ye Yunfei’s speed was far too great.
With a swift motion, he vanished.
The next moment, he appeared in another collapsing palace, swiftly sending stone coffins one after another into the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei unleashed his movement technique at full power, amplified by the tenfold acceleration of the Heavenly Shadow Robe. He was simply too fast!
In less than a second, Ye Yunfei had broken into four or five palaces in succession, collecting a large number of stone coffins.
“ROAR! ROAR…
Hateful human boy! I’ve marked you!
You just wait!
I will find you and take my revenge!”
Tsunami-like roars of fury erupted from the central palace.
At this time, the underground world continued to collapse incessantly, on the verge of complete destruction.
“Let’s go.”
Waving his sleeve, Ye Yunfei swept up Hu Miao and Huang Shang and directly dashed out.
A short while later, Ye Yunfei followed the same underground passage through which they had entered and returned to the surface.
RUMBLE…
This entire area of land was shaking and trembling, undergoing a terrifying earthquake.
The ground fractured, and the nearby mountains sank one after another into the earth.
Dust and debris rolled up, blotted out the heavens and earth.
