“Right over there.”
One of the Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction immediately pointed towards a spatial rift at the corner of the battlefield.
“Send the orders for everyone to settle in this battlefield. We’ll go in first to take a look. When we come out, we’ll coordinate with the Guardian Faction’s main forces to deal with the Hunyuan Sect,” the old man said, his gaze fixed on the spatial rift in the battlefield corner.
After speaking, the old man’s figure flashed, and he strode towards the location of the spatial rift.
Several other beings, also radiating terrifying blade energy, followed closely behind and soon stepped into the spatial rift.
“Everyone be careful. Those are forces from the Blade Realm; their strength is not to be underestimated. Be prepared for battle at any moment,” the Sovereign Gods on the Hunyuan Sect side watched the newly arrived Blade Realm forces with great wariness.
The Blade Realm’s ferocity was common knowledge. Every blade cultivator from the Blade Realm was considered a powerhouse among their peers, capable of even crossing realms to fight.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei, along with the eight Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods from the Hunyuan Sect, walked across the desolate continent.
Although this continent gave off a strange, eerie feeling overall, nothing out of the ordinary had been discovered so far.
“Could this strange feeling be because the continent has existed for such a long time that remnants of its ancient-era aura linger, giving us this illusion?” The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn’t help but speak up.
“And so far, there don’t seem to be any treasures on this continent. Our trip here might be a waste of effort,” the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm added.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm tribe was highly sensitive to all kinds of worldly treasures. If treasures existed in a place, the tribe could keenly sense their aura and accurately locate them. However, ever since entering this continent, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had been continuously probing but had yet to detect any treasure aura, which somewhat dampened its spirits.
“Let’s keep walking and looking for now. I haven’t discovered anything for the time being either,” Ye Yunfei said.
“We should hurry and catch up to those three from the Guardian Faction and finish them off. They must have valuable things on them. At least then our trip into this small world won’t be in vain,” the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said, its gaze fixed on three figures on the distant horizon.
“Those three won’t be able to escape,” Ye Yunfei also looked at the three distant figures and said coldly.
“It seems a few strong experts from the Blade Realm have entered,” Hun Lao suddenly sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
This continent severely suppressed perception of Soul Power energy, but Hun Lao was proficient in various spatial secret arts and could perceive occurrences in the surrounding space without relying on Soul Power energy directly.
“Indeed, several incredibly powerful currents of blade energy have already set foot on this continent,” Ye Yunfei used his Heart Power to sense around and confirmed that several blade realm experts had indeed entered this continent.
“Master, I keep feeling that this continent is saturated with an eerie aura. Quickly use your Divine Pupil to take a proper look at what’s going on,” Hu Miao suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
“I just did earlier. Besides some ancient prohibitions specifically suppressing Soul Power energy, there’s nothing discovered for now. These kinds of ancient prohibitions that suppress Soul Power energy exist in many worlds left behind from ancient times; nothing particularly special,” Ye Yunfei replied.
“Master, even your Divine Pupil couldn’t see anything special. Could it be that this continent is just an ordinary world left behind from ancient times?” Hu Miao said.
“Most likely. The Chaotic Void Sea has an extremely long history. During such a long era, having some continents buried and forgotten is perfectly normal. Let’s just look around casually. No need to get our hopes too high; this continent doesn’t look like a place with precious treasures,” Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Of course, Ye Yunfei understood that both the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hu Miao were in an adventure-and-treasure-seeking mindset, only to find this was an ordinary world, hence their disappointment.
“Don’t think you can just waltz into any abandoned world and pick up a bunch of treasures. That sort of cheap luck doesn’t happen,” Ye Yunfei added, still smiling.
“That’s true,” the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm’s tone was full of disappointment. It stopped probing the continent entirely, becoming listless.
Just then, Ye Yunfei’s brow suddenly furrowed slightly. In the distance, sand and dust began to rise against the wind, approaching from far away, small at first but growing in scale, enveloping Ye Yunfei’s group.
Initially, it was just a breeze, but gradually the wind’s momentum grew stronger and stronger, howling eerily, sounding terrifying as if evil spirits were hidden within, weeping incessantly. Then sand and dust blotted out the heavens and swept across earth, even forming one spinning tornado after another, swirling violently and rushing towards Ye Yunfei’s group at high speed.
The sky filled with dust, the surrounding space was covered everywhere, the land grew dark, and from within the rolling tornadoes came piercing screams, making one’s Soul Body tremble incessantly.
“Young Master Ye, this wind is strange. We must be careful!”
The eight Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods from the Hunyuan Sect stepped forward in unison, simultaneously releasing their divine energy.
Their mighty divine energies converged into a vast, rolling surge, protecting Ye Yunfei within.
“No need to worry, Seniors,” Ye Yunfei said.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Yunfei threw out a large number of Formation Flags, swiftly arranging one formation after another. One dazzling, radiant formation screen after another continuously manifested, blocking the way ahead.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also threw out several dozen magic treasures. Each was instantly activated, erupting with mighty magical power.
*Boom… Rumble…*
The windstorm that blotted out the heavens and earth crashed madly against the formations Ye Yunfei had set up. It seemed as if the wind hid many colossal monsters, swinging invisible fists that continuously hammered those formation screens.
By now, over ten tornadoes in total were spinning wildly in the surroundings, each towering from earth to sky. More frighteningly, an even greater number of tornadoes were forming and joining the besieging array. Before long, over thirty enormous tornadoes were assaulting the formations Ye Yunfei had laid out.
“Not good! Young Master Ye, cracks are appearing in these formations you’ve set up!” Suddenly, a Seventh-Level Sovereign God from the Hunyuan Sect cried out in alarm.
Sure enough, cracks began to spiderweb across the formations Ye Yunfei had set up.
“Even your formations can’t withstand this windstorm. How terrifying these gales are!” Hun Lao couldn’t help but remark.
“What frightening wind energy and wind laws! I feel like the wind laws contained within these tornadoes are of a higher grade than any laws I’ve encountered before. Could they already transcend the Laws of the Grand Dao?” The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed.
This tribe was not only proficient in worldly prohibitions but also possessed a special sensitivity to the various laws of the world.
“Indeed, these tornadoes contain astonishingly powerful wind energy and wind laws. The grade of these wind laws does seem remarkably high,” Ye Yunfei also felt inwardly alarmed.
Then Ye Yunfei directly opened the Divine Pupil on his forehead, beginning to inspect the surrounding windstorm and tornadoes.
“How terrifying this wind energy is!”
Ye Yunfei watched as the formations he had set up were impacted by the surging windstorm, developing numerous cracks, soon on the verge of collapse.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!…*
Several of the outermost formations shattered completely, after which the terrifying windstorm, along with dozens of sky-piercing tornadoes, began to furiously assault the remaining inner formations.
“This is too frightening!”
The Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods from the Hunyuan Sect perceived the overwhelming and seemingly inexhaustible terrifying gales surging towards them. Their faces paled one by one.
“Young Master Ye, even we Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods may not necessarily be able to handle this windstorm. It seems this continent is not simple. Perhaps some terrifying being is hiding nearby, attacking us. Otherwise, who else could be driving these gales to besiege us?” Elder Feng said.
“No need to worry, everyone. I can use formations to block this windstorm,” Ye Yunfei said, then threw out even more Formation Flags and set up more formations.
As Ye Yunfei erected these new formations, the previous ones outside were utterly destroyed by the relentless windstorm. The magic treasures he had thrown out earlier also followed the formations and were shredded to dust.
This scene made even Ye Yunfei feel a surge of inner shock.
During this period, Ye Yunfei’s formation skill level had been continuously improving. Especially after receiving Tianmu Shenjun’s formation legacy, his current formation ability had truly undergone a qualitative leap compared to the past. Yet, the surrounding wind could actually break the formations Ye Yunfei set up—showing just how frightening its power was.
Before long, another half of the formations Ye Yunfei had erected were destroyed by the onrushing windstorm. Ye Yunfei could only produce more Formation Flags and begin laying formations once again.
The eight Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods from the Hunyuan Sect stood beside Ye Yunfei, watching the formations continuously being broken by the surrounding windstorm. They all felt their hearts pounding with unease, a chill running through their bodies.
They knew that although the formations Ye Yunfei was setting up could temporarily block the surrounding gales, this wasn’t a sustainable long-term plan. The Formation Flags and materials on Ye Yunfei would eventually run out, while the surrounding windstorm seemed inexhaustible.
“Young Master Ye, it seems we must find a way to leave this continent. These gales are too powerful, and they seem endless. If we run out, we’ll definitely be at a disadvantage,” one of the Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods said to Ye Yunfei.
“These winds are indeed very powerful, but there’s no need to worry. I still have many Formation Flags and materials. And we should be able to find a way out,” Ye Yunfei spoke while simultaneously setting up another batch of formations.
“Not good! There are still three of our Hunyuan Sect’s Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods on this continent. If they encounter these gales, they certainly won’t be able to cope. They’re in danger!”
At that moment, Elder Gan suddenly remembered the other three Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods, who had entered the continent first and were presumably walking elsewhere on this land.
“Indeed. If those three also encounter these gales, they definitely won’t be able to withstand them. However, we are fighting for our own survival right now and can’t help them. We can only hope they’re safe,” another Seventh-Level Sovereign God sighed.
The Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods all felt heavy-hearted.
“Had I known, we wouldn’t have entered this continent. Now we’re trapped here by these terrifying gales for no good reason. If in the end you exhaust all your Formation Flags and materials, then we’ll truly be in danger,” the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn’t help but complain.
