"I couldn't say for certain. They need to participate in actual combat to be properly tested."
Ye Yunfei perceived the condition of his nine divine beasts and replied.
"Young Master Ye, we've just received news. At one of the battlefields, our Hunyuan Sect army is on the verge of collapsing.
Should we rush to provide support?"
Just then, Ye Yunfei received a Sound Transmission from Elder Gan.
"Of course we go.
Give the order. The army moves out immediately."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Soon after, Ye Yunfei led this army toward the next battlefield.
"Young Master Ye, the forces at the battlefield we are about to support—the strength of both armies there is about the same as that of the three armies we previously led."
A Seventh-Level Sovereign God reported to Ye Yunfei.
"Then we'll charge straight in. Join forces with the Hunyuan Sect army already there and wipe out the Guardian Faction's forces directly."
Ye Yunfei nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei led the army to the next battlefield. With a wave of his hand, the army surged forward like a tide into the fray.
On this battlefield, both the Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction each had three Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods. The overall strength of both armies was indeed similar to the previous battlefield.
Now, with Ye Yunfei and five Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods joining the fight, and the sizable army they brought along, they instantly gained the upper hand.
Elder Gan and the other five Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect were like tigers descending a mountain, charging straight toward the three Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods the moment they entered the battle.
Thus, the Hunyuan Sect now had eight Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods, while the Guardian Faction had only three, immediately tipping the balance.
"Elder Gan! Elder Lu! Elder Feng! Didn't you all have your own battlefields to manage? Why have all of you come here?"
The three Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods were elated to suddenly see five more of their kind join their side and immediately inquired.
"The fighting on our battlefields has concluded, and our Hunyuan Sect's forces achieved a great victory. Now we are here to support your battlefield,"
Elder Gan declared with a hearty laugh.
"Kill them all!
Wipe out all these Guardian Faction dogs. Don't let a single one escape!"
Elder Feng's murderous aura flared. He activated a speed-enhancing talisman, then two more specifically designed to assist his attacks. Within just a few moves, he had sent an opposing Seventh-Level Sovereign God staggering backward.
"Let's first capture a batch of Sovereign Gods."
Right after entering the battlefield, Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to Elder Wu, instructing him to gather over forty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect and bring them all to his side to follow him in action.
Ye Yunfei led these forty-plus Hunyuan Sect Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods through the battlefield. Wherever they went, everyone acted in concert, continuously capturing one Guardian Faction Sovereign God after another.
Against ordinary Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods, Ye Yunfei didn't even need to lift a finger. The over forty Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods behind him would swarm forward and resolve everything within a move or two.
When encountering slightly stronger Sovereign Gods, Ye Yunfei would personally take action.
Hu Miao, Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hun Lao assisted at the side. The vast majority of skirmishes ended within a move or two.
Only a few exceptionally powerful Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods required a brief clash before Ye Yunfei led everyone forward to forcefully suppress them.
While Ye Yunfei was leading the forty-plus Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods around the battlefield capturing enemy Sovereign Gods, the rest of the army he brought had already joined the battle.
Ye Yunfei's puppet army, along with Huang Shang's ghost army and corpse army, had also been released and thrown into the fray.
By this time, the Hunyuan Sect forces had seized the upper hand, while the Guardian Faction army was being forced into a steady retreat.
The Hunyuan Sect's eight Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods had surrounded the enemy's three and also held the advantage.
"Hahaha...
Excellent! On this battlefield, our Hunyuan Sect forces are going to achieve a complete victory!"
One of the Hunyuan Sect's Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods laughed heartily.
As time passed, Ye Yunfei captured more and more Sovereign Gods. All the captured Sovereign Gods were forcibly sealed and imprisoned within the Phantom Tower.
"Looks like you don't need my help here. I'm going to go collect spoils of war. A large-scale battlefield like this yields a very considerable amount of loot."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said to Ye Yunfei, then transformed into a streak of golden light, left Ye Yunfei's team, and began roving the battlefield to collect spoils.
Ye Yunfei knew the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm possessed profound attainments in spatial cultivation and astonishing speed. On this battlefield, it wouldn't get into trouble, so he felt at ease letting it act alone.
As time wore on, the Hunyuan Sect had completely seized the upper hand on the battlefield. The Guardian Faction army began to rout.
And on this battlefield, Ye Yunfei had already captured over one hundred Sovereign Gods.
"It's not enough yet.
Everyone, let's speed up. Once we eliminate the majority of the Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods, our army is certain to achieve total victory on this battlefield."
Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to the Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
"Young Master Ye, rest assured. We will act entirely in accordance with your commands and will absolutely not slack off,"
Elder Wu replied.
"Indeed.
Young Master Ye, just instruct us on what you need us to do."
The other Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods also replied via Sound Transmission, one after another.
These Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods now held Ye Yunfei in the utmost esteem. They would never defy his words.
In fact, following Ye Yunfei and continuously capturing one enemy Sovereign God after another was an experience they found extremely exhilarating and satisfying.
The Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction had always been mortal enemies, fighting since ancient times to the present. Members of both factions wished nothing more than to annihilate the other.
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei continued to lead the forty-plus Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods in swiftly moving across the battlefield, capturing even more Sovereign Gods.
Given the truly enormous scale of this battlefield, Ye Yunfei's group of forty-something was rather inconspicuous.
Furthermore, the Guardian Faction army's three strongest Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods were now barely able to protect themselves, completely unable to spare any attention for the life-or-death struggles of their other Sovereign Gods.
After another stretch of time, the number of Sovereign Gods Ye Yunfei captured had surpassed two hundred and seventy.
By now, the victor on the battlefield was abundantly clear. The Guardian Faction army had officially routed, being slaughtered and fleeing in all directions, utterly incapable of mounting any effective resistance.
"This battle will conclude very soon."
Ye Yunfei surveyed the state of the battle and said with a smile.
"Now to finish off those three."
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to the Guardian Faction's three Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods. He spoke, then his figure blurred as he moved towards them.
The forty-some Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods dispersed and began directing the Hunyuan Sect army in the fight.
Soon, Ye Yunfei joined the fight against the three Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods. This time, Ye Yunfei did not use his Gravity Spheres. Sword in his right hand, fist in his left, he charged directly forward, simultaneously unleashing Soul Force Martial Arts and Heart Force Martial Skills.
"It's you, brat surnamed Ye!"
The three Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods immediately recognized Ye Yunfei, as his reputation was already somewhat established within the Guardian Faction.
Ye Yunfei responded with a cold laugh and, wasting no words, launched his attack.
"You damned brat Ye Yunfei, you actually dare to participate in our Seventh-Level Sovereign God battle. You really think you're something.
The combat energy released in a battle of this level would reduce a junior like you to dust.
You really have a death wish!"
Although the three Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods were being forced back, as Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods they still held an arrogant pride before a mere junior.
Seeing Ye Yunfei actually dared to attack them, they all sneered, with one of them speaking out.
But soon, these three Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods could no longer laugh. They discovered Ye Yunfei's strength was terrifyingly powerful, and the various attacks he employed were not in the slightest inferior to their own.
In particular, the Soul Force Martial Arts and Heart Force Martial Skills Ye Yunfei used posed a great threat to them.
"How is this possible?
The strength of that damn brat surnamed Ye is actually this formidable?"
The three Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods could hardly believe it.
But facing Ye Yunfei's tempestuous onslaught, they soon completely understood that Ye Yunfei's strength was not weaker than theirs, and indeed some of the arts and secret techniques he practiced were far superior to their own.
Particularly the thick sword beams Ye Yunfei slashed out one after another—they didn't dare to meet them head-on.
"As expected of a successor chosen by the Sword Realm."
The three Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods felt secretly shocked.
Already in a sorry state, the addition of Ye Yunfei to the fight made their situation even more dire.
"Damn it all!
This kid is actually so monstrous."
The three Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods grew increasingly panicked the longer they fought, cursing inwardly.
In the end, these three Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods were slain jointly by Ye Yunfei and the Hunyuan Sect's eight Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye, for leading an army to support this battlefield and helping us achieve a complete victory in this battle!"
After killing the three Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods, the three Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods responsible for commanding this battlefield were deeply moved and came before Ye Yunfei to express their gratitude repeatedly.
Elder Gan and the others had already informed them of all the previous events.
The eight Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods gathered around Ye Yunfei, each looking at him with eyes full of admiration.
In the eyes of these Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods, Ye Yunfei was no longer a junior but a powerhouse on the same level as themselves. Some even felt they couldn't compare to him.
"Young Master Ye, henceforth, the army on this battlefield shall also be commanded by you."
An elder surnamed Chen stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Young Master Ye, the eight of us old fellows shall follow your commands. Henceforth, you are the highest commander of this army."
Elder Gan also stepped forward and spoke.
The other Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods also voiced their support one after another.
"Since you esteemed seniors show me such undeserved favor, I shall not stand on ceremony.
Let it be so then. Have the army rest and recuperate here briefly, after which we shall continue on to support other battlefields."
Ye Yunfei spoke.
With Ye Yunfei's order, all forces on this battlefield began resting on the spot.
The army's scale had now grown increasingly vast, as the forces from three or four battlefields of the Hunyuan Sect had been concentrated together.
"Today's haul is truly too rich."
At this moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, leading a batch of Alliance Army Sovereign Gods, was still busily collecting spoils all over the battlefield.
