The amount and variety of spoils left behind on this vast battlefield was truly immense. The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had a sense of suddenly being wealthy and was grinning from ear to ear.
Meanwhile, Huang Shang led his Corpse Army and Ghost Army as they roamed the battlefield, collecting fragments of Soul Bodies and intact corpses left behind during the fighting.
It was only half an hour later that the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Huang Shang returned to Ye Yunfei's side.
By this time, Ye Yunfei had already set up a small spatial formation and was resting with his eyes closed.
"These are the spoils collected from the battlefield."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm handed over a large pile of spatial rings to Ye Yunfei.
He wouldn't keep all the spoils he collected for himself, instead handing the majority over to Ye Yunfei and keeping only some treasures that caught his own eye.
Ye Yunfei immediately instructed the higher-ups of the Hunyuan Sect to distribute these spoils for use by the entire army.
"Mr. Huang, let's split these Sovereign Gods' Soul Bodies."
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and, looking at the large batch of sealed Sovereign Gods before him, spoke to Huang Shang.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Huang Shang replied with a smile.
He had collected an immense amount of Soul Body fragments on the battlefield earlier, and now there were so many complete deities' Soul Bodies. This was a tremendous harvest for him.
Powerful ghostly energy radiated from his inky black and glossy Ghost Body. This churning ghost energy transformed into one rapidly spinning black vortex after another around his Ghost Body, seemingly ready to devour everything around it.
Next, Ye Yunfei split all the Sovereign Gods captured earlier on the battlefield in half and then began to devour these Sovereign Gods' Soul Bodies.
Ye Yunfei had captured roughly over three hundred Sovereign Gods on the battlefield earlier.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei had completely devoured the Soul Bodies of over a hundred and fifty Sovereign Gods, obtaining most of their memories.
Furthermore, the accumulated cultivation prowess of these 150-plus Sovereign Gods had largely transferred over to Ye Yunfei, becoming part of his own power base.
After devouring so many Sovereign Gods' Soul Bodies, Ye Yunfei felt that the level of his Soul Power energy had finally undergone another qualitative leap.
Vast and seemingly limitless Soul Force Energy churned within his Soul Sea, even spilling over to form one dazzling halo of radiant soul force after another around his head.
"Your current Soul Power level has exceeded that of an average Seventh Level Sovereign God, hasn't it?"
Hun Lao, sensing the intensity of Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy, couldn't help but speak up.
"Yes, my current Soul Power level should have reached the tier of an Eighth Level Sovereign God.
The sheer quantity of Sovereign God Soul Bodies I've devoured recently was just too high. Quantity has led to quality change; this is a massive leap forward."
Ye Yunfei nodded. After devouring the Soul Bodies of over ten Sovereign Gods just now, he felt his Soul Power energy was incredibly powerful, filling his entire being with confidence.
At a single thought from Ye Yunfei, over a hundred and fifty Soul Force Weapons instantly appeared around his head. Each of these hundred-plus weapons was exceptionally potent.
These Soul Force Weapons were all condensed from the purest Soul Force Energy. Their attack speed was terrifyingly fast, and they could attack an opponent's physical body as well as their Soul Body.
"My Soul Force Star Method has also advanced somewhat."
Ye Yunfei said softly.
Sixty enormous Soul Force Planets slowly emerged within his Soul Sea in total, each radiating powerful Soul Force Energy.
The maximum number of Soul Force Planets achievable through the Soul Force Star Method was eighty-one.
With the continuous elevation of his Soul Power level recently, the number of Soul Force Planets Ye Yunfei had cultivated had reached sixty.
Each of these sixty Soul Force Planets could be utilized as a separate Soul Body.
In other words, Ye Yunfei now effectively possessed a total of sixty-two Soul Bodies. He could simultaneously multitask on sixty-two different things without any conflict or interference between them.
Applying this ability in combat was terrifying because it meant Ye Yunfei could execute sixty-two different techniques or secret arts simultaneously during a fight, with each one maintaining its maximum combat potency.
If used during cultivation, Ye Yunfei could simultaneously comprehend and cultivate sixty-two different techniques or secret arts.
"That legacy secret art of the Soul Race is truly too heaven-defying!"
Hun Lao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Indeed, the Soul Force Star Method, that core legacy secret art of the Soul Race, is truly exceptionally heaven-defying.
However, I suspect the Soul Force Star Method might already be a lost art within the Soul Race, because among the memories of those Soul Race members I devoured earlier, there was no relevant content about the Soul Force Star Method."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yunfei voiced his thoughts.
"If the Soul Force Star Method is already a lost inheritance within the Soul Race, but you, an outsider, managed to cultivate it successfully, that would be highly amusing.
But if that's really the case, then you shouldn't use it casually in the future. Otherwise, once the Soul Race learns that their lost core legacy has been mastered by a human, they would definitely come after you in a frenzy, causing you a great deal of trouble."
Hun Lao said.
"True. It seems I need to be careful from now on and cannot use the Soul Force Star Method recklessly.
If the Soul Race really found out, I imagine the entire race would go mad."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Hahaha…
My strength has risen another notch!"
Just then, Huang Shang suddenly laughed with pride.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy immediately swept over and sensed that the strength of the power radiating from Huang Shang's Ghost Body had indeed risen by a level. The wildly churning ghost path energy was enough to make one's heart tremble.
The recent period of battles had brought Huang Shang tremendous benefits. Like Ye Yunfei, he had devoured a large number of Sovereign God Soul Bodies and had also consumed vast amounts of Soul Body fragments from several battlefields.
Quantity had led to quality change, causing his strength to continuously increase during this period.
"I can probably defeat a Sixth-Level Sovereign God now, possessing strength equivalent to a Seventh Level Sovereign God."
Huang Shang came to Ye Yunfei's side and declared confidently.
"Mr. Huang, your strength has indeed improved greatly."
Ye Yunfei nodded and smiled.
Then, Ye Yunfei exited the Phantom Tower, left the small spatial formation, and returned to the outside battlefield.
"Young Master Ye…"
The moment Ye Yunfei stepped out from the small formation space, the eight Seventh Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect immediately approached him.
"It seems everyone is ready. Very well, let's set out now to continue supporting other battlefields."
Ye Yunfei assessed the Hunyuan Sect army resting in this void region and then spoke.
At Ye Yunfei's command, moments later, the army assembled, standing in orderly ranks in the vast void, each member filled with high morale and battle spirit.
After the victory, these Hunyuan Sect army troops were incredibly excited and brimming with confidence, eager to immediately throw themselves into the next battlefield.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei led this army towards the next battlefield.
Meanwhile, throughout the entire Fifth Void, the war between the two great powers, the Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction, had long since stirred up the entire void. Every power was watching the conflict between these two factions.
Although many powers had already been drawn into the war between these two factions, within the Fifth Void, there was still a considerable number of powers standing aloof, unwilling to be drawn into the struggle between the two great powers.
However, those powers not participating in the war were far from disinterested; they were constantly monitoring the specific war situation of the two factions.
Because everyone knew that this war between these two powers would determine the future trajectory of this void. The victor would become the ruler of this void, the dominant power of the Fifth Void.
"What? Our Guardian Faction has already suffered defeats on at least four battlefields, and all our forces on those four battlefields have been wiped out?
That's impossible.
We in the Guardian Faction have planned for this war for a long time, and we've even allied with so many powers. Several battlefields even had the Blade Realm's strong support. Our Guardian Faction's overall strength should be superior.
No matter which battlefield, in the end, our Guardian Faction side should emerge victorious.
How could so many battlefields be lost? Have you investigated thoroughly? Is the intelligence reliable?"
Within the Guardian Faction headquarters in the Fifth Void, in a splendidly decorated council hall, a furious roar echoed.
Seated in the very center of the council hall was a tall elder figure, his entire body radiating terrifying energy, his face filled with rage.
"Report to the Prison Master, we have investigated and the intelligence is reliable."
A middle-aged man stood in the hall, head bowed, cautious and trembling as he spoke.
He knew such news would inevitably enrage these core higher-ups before him.
"How did this happen?
Tell us, on those battlefields, how exactly did our Guardian Faction forces fail?"
The Prison Master seated at the center of the hall suppressed the towering rage in his heart and asked.
"According to our preliminary investigation, on those battlefields, at the very beginning our Guardian Faction forces held the upper hand, but later, the Hunyuan Sect side received strong reinforcements, overturning the situation and turning defeat into victory."
The middle-aged man reported.
"Oh?
So it seems the Hunyuan Sect hasn't committed all their forces to the battlefield? They kept a portion as reserve troops for various battlefields, deploying them only after the fighting had been underway for a while?
I hadn't realized the Hunyuan Sect's scale had already grown so vast."
Upon hearing the report, the Prison Master was momentarily stunned, then spoke with unwillingness.
"According to the intelligence we have gathered, the one supporting those battlefields seems to be Ye Yunfei, Ye Yunfei from the Eighth Void."
The middle-aged man reported carefully.
"What? It's Ye Yunfei from the Eighth Void supporting those battlefields?
How is that possible?
That brat surnamed Ye did manage to wipe out our Guardian Faction branches in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Voids, indicating he does have some capability and methods.
However, on each battlefield in our Fifth Void, we have Sixth and Seventh Level Sovereign Gods personally overseeing them.
Even if that brat surnamed Ye came to our Fifth Void to join the fight, how could he possibly have the ability to cause our Guardian Faction forces to be defeated on those battlefields?
Is that kid really that formidable?"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's report, the dozen-plus core higher-ups of the Guardian Faction in the council hall couldn't believe it and voiced their doubts.
"According to our gathered intelligence, it's true. At least on four battlefields, our Guardian Faction forces ultimately failed because of the support provided by that kid Ye Yunfei.
Furthermore, on those battlefields, our Guardian Faction forces were almost entirely annihilated, with very few members managing to escape.
That kid Ye Yunfei's strength seems exceedingly terrifying."
The middle-aged man reported.
After the battles on the battlefields supported by Ye Yunfei ended, the Guardian Faction's scouts had already secretly investigated and even found the few remnants of the Guardian Faction forces who had managed to escape from the battlefields, learning a general understanding of how the battles had unfolded.
Therefore, these Guardian Faction scouts all knew that on those battlefields, it was Ye Yunfei's support that had led to the Guardian Faction forces' ultimate defeat.
"How is this possible? Could it be that little beast surnamed Ye has already grown to such heights?"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's report, the expressions of the core higher-ups in the council hall were all extremely unpleasant. One core elder spoke through gritted teeth.
"That little bastard surnamed Ye grows at far too alarming a rate. We cannot allow him further opportunity to grow.
Since he's already in our Fifth Void, very well, immediately send men to kill Ye Yunfei and eliminate the future threat once and for all."
The Prison Master thought for a moment, then slowly issued the order.
Following this command from the Prison Master, soon after, a group of powerful cultivators quietly left the Guardian Faction headquarters, setting off to deal with Ye Yunfei.
