"The master of that remnant consciousness couldn't be the Wind Demon God from the Ancient Era, could it? If that's really the case, I think it's best if we don't provoke him. The Wind Demon God was one of the most top-tier powerhouses in the Chaotic Void Sea during a certain period of the Ancient Era. Even if he's already fallen, leaving behind only a remnant thought, we might not be able to deal with him. This is his tomb, his territory. Who knows what vicious methods or traps the Wind Demon God might have left inside this tomb?"
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm spoke up.
"You're always the most timid one. Last time when the master was refining the Great Wind Stele, it was also you constantly clamoring to run away," Hu Miao said, giving the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm a sidelong glance with displeasure.
"This isn't called timidity, but caution. Can you guarantee that the tomb before us isn't left behind by the Wind Demon God? In my opinion, safety should always come first."
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm retorted, curling its lip.
"No need to worry. I'll find out right now who the master of this tomb is," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was using his Mental Force energy and the Divine Pupil on his forehead to sense, study, and analyze the tomb before him. After the previous remnant consciousness had fled into the tall mountain peak ahead, the raging gales and tornadoes had disappeared along with it. Now, the only wind in the surrounding world was the furious gale generated by the Great Wind Stele hovering above Ye Yunfei's head. Ye Yunfei stood amidst the billowing wind, treading on a large-scale wind vortex beneath his feet, looking mightily imposing.
"Inside... there's a massive skeleton... and a black treasure orb. That remnant consciousness has hidden itself inside the skeleton. It seems that skeleton must be the master of that remnant," Ye Yunfei perceived the interior of the tomb after a short while.
The interior of the tomb was a great hall. Inside the hall, there was a colossal skeleton. Within the skeleton resided a black treasure orb, and the remnant consciousness was also concealed inside the skeleton.
"This tomb also has several ancient formations protecting it," Ye Yunfei saw several great arrays safeguarding the tomb.
Ye Yunfei immediately began to study and analyze those ancient formations. Shortly after, a cold smile appeared on his face. He took a step forward, charging toward the tall mountain peak ahead.
Soon after, Ye Yunfei stood before the gate of a cave residence on the mountainside. This cave gate was the entrance and exit of this tomb. The remnant consciousness had entered through here earlier.
Ye Yunfei raised his foot and walked towards the cave gate.
Boom!
Five formations activated simultaneously. Five formation light screens rose into existence, blocking Ye Yunfei's path.
These five formation light screens were each of different colors. Moreover, the five formations complemented each other, connecting as a single whole, extremely profound and marvelous.
Ye Yunfei had already thoroughly researched and analyzed the principles of these five formations earlier. Without encountering the slightest hindrance, he strode forward, simultaneously waving his hand and throwing out more than a dozen formation-breaking flags.
As these formation-breaking flags inserted into the space ahead, they immediately disrupted the complementary relationship between the five formations.
The five formations were all forcibly opened, each yielding a gap. With his hands clasped behind his back, Ye Yunfei walked in with great strides.
In the next moment, Ye Yunfei arrived inside the great hall of the tomb. At the center of the hall stood a tall skeleton.
"Judging by its appearance, this fellow likely wasn't human, but a member of some relatively rare race. This skeleton has been placed here for an exceedingly long time. The earlier remnant consciousness should have been left behind by the master of this skeleton," Hun Lao spoke up.
Boom!
As Ye Yunfei entered the hall and stood before the tall skeleton, a powerful wind energy immediately surged out from within the skeleton. The billowing gales transformed into countless invisible wind blades, slashing toward Ye Yunfei to kill him.
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, the Great Wind Stele appeared above his head, releasing a torrent of raging wind that instantly blocked all those incoming invisible wind blades.
"Still dare to act recklessly," Ye Yunfei looked at the skeleton ahead and let out a cold laugh.
By now, Ye Yunfei had already ascertained that the master of this skeleton before him was definitely not the legendary Wind Demon God from the Ancient Era, because the Wind Demon God belonged to the Demon Race. The Wind Demon God was originally an ordinary member of the Demon Race. Later, due to some unknown chance, he obtained several wind-related cultivation techniques and secret arts left behind from the Primordial Era when the Chaotic Void Sea was created. He also obtained some wind-related magical treasures. Ultimately, through cultivation, he became a top-tier powerhouse, known as the Wind Demon God. However, the skeleton before them clearly was not of the Demon Race.
"Since you are not a remnant consciousness left behind by the Wind Demon God, then there's nothing more to say."
Ye Yunfei said with a cold smile.
Next, the Heart Pearl rushed out from within Ye Yunfei's body, hovering before him.
Ye Yunfei channeled his Mental Force energy relentlessly into the Heart Pearl and then began using the Heart Pearl to execute various advanced Heart Force Martial Skills, launching attacks against the remnant consciousness hidden within the tall skeleton ahead.
Simultaneously, the Great Wind Stele above Ye Yunfei's head also began releasing terrifying wind energy, transforming into countless invisible wind blades that surrounded the skeleton ahead and then madly hacked at it.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The dense barrage of invisible wind blades struck the skeleton, producing loud metallic clanging sounds. For a time, within the hall, sparks flew in all directions, and the cacophony shook the heavens.
Torrents of gales and tornadoes also continuously surged out from within the massive skeleton, attacking Ye Yunfei. However, before they could even get close to Ye Yunfei, they were dispersed by the aura of power released by the Great Wind Stele above his head.
Having refined the Great Wind Stele and obtained the Wind Control Art, Ye Yunfei now felt absolutely no pressure facing those gales and tornadoes.
One of Ye Yunfei's Soul Bodies, along with roughly half of his Soul Power planets, had been constantly researching, analyzing, and cultivating the Wind Control Art. The Great Wind Stele contained a vast amount of wind energy and wind law. Therefore, during his cultivation process, Ye Yunfei could continuously transform the wind energy and wind law within the Great Wind Stele into part of his own energy and laws. Moreover, the Great Wind Stele could also transform energies of other attributes into wind energy. In short, with the Great Wind Stele, Ye Yunfei didn't have to worry at all about lacking wind energy. Ye Yunfei had already inserted a large batch of high-grade Sovereign God level energy spirit crystals into the Great Wind Stele, allowing it to be unceasingly converted into wind energy.
At this moment, the remnant consciousness hidden within the skeleton looked at Ye Yunfei, standing upon a wind vortex, and at the Great Wind Stele hovering above Ye Yunfei's head, a deep sense of trepidation appearing. Facing Ye Yunfei now, he felt an instinctive fear. Because Ye Yunfei's Heart Force Martial Skills and the Great Wind Stele above his head both had a restraining effect on him. His sole reliance was that black treasure orb.
Thus, Ye Yunfei stood before this massive skeleton, continuously executing various Heart Force Martial Skills to attack that remnant consciousness, while also using the Great Wind Stele to attack the massive skeleton itself.
With his hands clasped behind his back and his feet treading upon a wind vortex, Ye Yunfei hovered in the air. The clothes on his body gently fluttered, appearing handsome and heroic. The remnant consciousness hidden within the skeleton, at this moment, had no effective means of counterattacking against Ye Yunfei. It could only passively endure the attacks from the various Heart Force Martial Skills.
Ye Yunfei, while attacking the remnant consciousness and the skeleton, also seized the time to cultivate the Wind Control Art. Ye Yunfei felt that cultivating the Wind Control Art under these circumstances seemed to yield very rapid progress.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei simply had both of his Soul Bodies and all sixty Soul Power planets focus wholeheartedly on cultivating the Wind Control Art. With this, the pace of cultivation began to multiply. Gradually, Ye Yunfei felt his understanding of this cultivation technique left behind by the Wind Demon God growing deeper and deeper. His perception of the wind energy and wind law surrounding him also grew increasingly clear.
Thus, time continued to flow.
After who knew how long, Ye Yunfei felt that he had reached the initial entry stage in mastering the Wind Control Art technique.
If it were any other Deity of the same rank, under such circumstances, it would have been impossible to reach the initial stage in the Wind Control Art so quickly. But Ye Yunfei was different. Not only did Ye Yunfei possess the eye-technique inheritance of the Heavenly Eye Deity Monarch, he also had two Soul Bodies and sixty Soul Power planets. The speed of his comprehension and cultivation was at least several hundred times that of his peers.
In other words, Ye Yunfei's talent for comprehension and cultivation had reached a terrifying degree.
"Wind, come."
Ye Yunfei suddenly extended his palm, gently grasping towards the raging winds around him.
Boom!
The surrounding billowing gales immediately responded. A large amount of invisible wind quickly converged towards Ye Yunfei's palm, then was forcibly compressed, finally materializing into an invisible wind blade.
This invisible wind blade contained powerful wind energy.
Ye Yunfei lightly waved his hand, and this invisible wind blade shot forward at an astonishing speed, slashing towards the skeleton ahead.
Then Ye Yunfei rapidly thrust his palm out multiple times towards the surrounding space. Each grab would condense an invisible wind blade, which was then hurled towards the skeleton.
Thus, a large number of invisible wind blades personally condensed by Ye Yunfei ceaselessly rained down upon the skeleton. After being repelled by the skeleton, these wind blades would automatically fly back to launch attacks again, seemingly endless.
These wind blades personally condensed by Ye Yunfei using the Wind Control Art were even more powerful than those generated by the surrounding gales.
Next, Ye Yunfei utilized another secret technique. Pointing a finger, a tornado instantly took shape. This tornado rotated at high speed, its size swelling larger and larger. Quickly, it transformed into a towering tornado that violently smashed into the skeleton ahead.
Ye Yunfei then created more tornadoes, besieging the skeleton from all directions.
The earlier gales and tornadoes were created by the Great Wind Stele. But now, these invisible wind blades and tornadoes were created by Ye Yunfei himself using the Wind Control Art.
This meant that in the future, even without the Great Wind Stele, Ye Yunfei could personally generate such storms.
Of course, with the assistance of the Great Wind Stele, Ye Yunfei's ability to create and control storms would be even stronger.
Moreover, the Great Wind Stele could provide Ye Yunfei with an inexhaustible supply of wind energy.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei reached out and grabbed fiercely towards the skeleton ahead.
Boom!
An invisible great hand condensed from wind energy and wind law instantly formed, fiercely clutching the massive skeleton ahead.
The master of this skeleton was a terrifying powerhouse during his lifetime. Though now only a skeleton and a remnant consciousness remained, it still retained a small portion of its former power.
Boom!
The skeleton erupted with powerful resistance energy, trying to break free from the invisible wind hand Ye Yunfei had manifested.
But the Great Wind Stele above Ye Yunfei's head shook gently, releasing vast wind energy that poured into the invisible wind hand.
The invisible wind hand squeezed mightily, forcibly grabbing the skeleton and lifting it up.
At this moment, the remnant consciousness within the skeleton became completely panicked, launching a frenzied resistance.
He desperately activated that black treasure orb, generating surging gales and tornadoes that rushed out from within the skeleton to counter the various methods Ye Yunfei was employing.
