"That's the place, that spatial rift is the entrance to that world. The Guardian Faction's forces just went in, we must hurry."
In the distant void, billowing runes filled the sky as a host of beings clad in long robes carved with various profound and mysterious inscriptions rolled forward, arriving instantly before the spatial rift and charging inside.
"Over there, it seems the Guardian Faction and the Rune Sacred Land's people have already entered. We can't fall behind, everyone increase your speed."
Suddenly, vast quantities of dazzling, eye-catching blade lights appeared in the distant void, rolling forward, tearing open space continuously wherever they passed and leaving dark spatial fissures in their wake.
Soon, a group of blade cultivators riding on blade energy arrived before the spatial rift, Blade Changkong among them.
This group of blade cultivators paused briefly in front of the spatial rift before charging inside.
Soon, the powerful experts of the three major powers began exploring extensively across the Wind Demon God Continent.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was leading the Hunyuan Sect's army to the next battlefield.
This battlefield was one of relatively high importance in the war between the two major forces, so both sides had committed armies of considerable scale.
The Hunyuan Sect side had a total of seventeen Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods on this battlefield, one Eighth Level Sovereign God, and even greater numbers of Sovereign Gods of other levels.
In truth, within the Fifth Void, Eighth Level Sovereign Gods already belonged to the very peak of power, the core high-level leadership of the two major forces.
Thus far in the Fifth Void, neither of the two major forces had a Ninth Level Sovereign God; their strongest were all Eighth Level.
The fact that both armies on this battlefield had an Eighth Level Sovereign God personally participating showed that both sides placed great importance on this combat zone.
Not only did this battlefield boast large numbers of Sovereign Gods from both sides, but the armies themselves were also massively numerous. Within the vast void, the two armies were locked in combat, and looking out, rolling tides of troops stretched as far as the eye could see.
Across this expansive void, the troops of both sides were locked in fierce combat, war cries shaking the endless firmament.
This battle had already been raging for a long time, yet even now, no clear winner had emerged.
Upon this vast, sprawling battlefield, many distinct combat zones were divided. Within each zone, a specific Sovereign God was responsible for commanding the forces of their respective side.
"Young Master Ye, this battlefield ahead is one of the main combat zones between our Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction. The outcome here will genuinely influence the final direction of this war," Elder Gan, one of the Hunyuan Sect's Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods, said to Ye Yunfei, his expression grave as he surveyed the immense, boundary-less battlefield ahead.
"The scale of this battlefield is simply too vast, and the area it covers is exceedingly expansive," Ye Yunfei said, his soul power reaching out and enveloping a large portion of the battlefield in an instant as he surveyed the scene before him.
"In that case, let's start from a specific zone. We'll transform this army into a sharp blade, select the most vulnerable point to insert into this massive battlefield, and then gradually dismantle this large-scale combat zone, area by area." Ye Yunfei's current soul power was incredibly potent, and with his heart power and the Divine Pupil in his brow aiding him, he quickly grasped the situation of the immense battlefield before them and offered his plan.
"We shall act entirely according to Young Master Ye's instructions," the Hunyuan Sect's Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods replied simultaneously.
"That direction then. Our Hunyuan Sect forces seem to hold a slight advantage in that zone. We'll use that advantage to annihilate the Guardian Faction's army there first," Ye Yunfei said, his gaze fixing on a particular region of the battlefield.
"Additionally, once we enter the battlefield, have everyone keep a low profile as much as possible, avoid drawing attention. It would be best if the Guardian Faction's powerhouses aren't aware of our army's arrival," Ye Yunfei added after a moment's thought.
"To achieve this, scatter and regroup into several batches. Move discreetly and enter the battlefield in successive groups." If Ye Yunfei led this army with earth-shaking shouts and a high-profile charge onto the battlefield, it would certainly have a certain deterrent effect. However, he felt that secretly infiltrating the battlefield zone by zone to execute his strategy might yield a better, more ambush-like result.
At Ye Yunfei's order, the twelve Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect immediately divided the army behind them into twelve batches and issued the command for successive group action according to Ye Yunfei's intention.
With a flash of movement, Ye Yunfei reached the battlefield zone he had indicated at an astonishing speed.
His movement speed was too fast; with the assistance of the Wind God's Raiment, even those Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods could not clearly discern how he had entered the midst of the battlefield.
"Young Master Ye's movement speed is truly something that leaves others in awe and admiration. Not only is it invisible to the naked eye, even my soul power couldn't perceive how he entered the battlefield so suddenly," the twelve Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods felt their vision blur slightly, only to see Ye Yunfei already appearing in the distant battlefield zone, each of them feeling profound respect.
"Everyone, proceed in batches as Young Master Ye instructed. I will lead the first group into the battlefield," Elder Gan said.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Elder Gan led a group of troops forward quietly and entered the designated battlefield zone with a low-profile posture.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was already moving within the battlefield. The scale of troops committed by both sides for this battle was simply colossal. Even though this was only one zone of the overall battlefield, the troops from both sides were densely packed like tides, surging back and forth, attacking each other.
Numerous battle formations were distributed across the battlefield, rumbling forward like gigantic chariots.
The battle had reached a fiercely intense state.
Ye Yunfei entered the battlefield and immediately focused on a Seventh-Level Sovereign God. This Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign God was specifically responsible for this battlefield zone and was currently engaged in combat with a Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign God.
Ye Yunfei's figure blurred, appearing instantly behind this Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign God. With a thought, he activated the Soul Weapon Art. Over one hundred and fifty soul weapons instantly manifested around the Sovereign God's head, whistling as they attacked his soul sea.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei unleashed his Heart Sword, which directly pierced into the Seventh-Level Sovereign God's soul sea, slashing towards his soul body.
Facing the onslaught of Ye Yunfei's Heart Sword and Soul Weapon Art, the Seventh-Level Sovereign God panicked, utterly at a loss.
Hu Miao immediately coordinated with Ye Yunfei, deploying a dozen profound illusion formations that encircled the Seventh-Level Sovereign God completely.
Boom...
Ye Yunfei raised his fist and struck directly at the Seventh-Level Sovereign God's physical body.
Due to Ye Yunfei's sudden arrival, it wasn't until Ye Yunfei unleashed these terrifying attacks that the Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign God abruptly realized a terrifyingly powerful being had somehow appeared behind him and was executing a fearsome assault.
When he tried to evade, it was already too late. Ye Yunfei's fists fell upon his physical form like raindrops.
The relentless assault from Ye Yunfei's Soul Weapon Art and Heart Sword also fiercely besieged his soul body constantly. Within less than the span of a breath, his soul body was wounded, and his physical body was suppressed by Ye Yunfei's punches to the point of immobilization.
Then, Ye Yunfei forcibly sealed this Guardian Faction Seventh-Level Sovereign God.
"Young Master Ye, is it you..." The Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign God who had been locked in combat with this opponent was in the heat of battle when he suddenly saw his adversary being forcibly subdued and sealed by a power that had abruptly appeared. Recognizing the young man who had suddenly appeared, he joyfully exclaimed. The Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods already possessed a record of Ye Yunfei's appearance and soul body aura, allowing him immediate recognition.
"Esteemed elder, I am Ye Yunfei. The priority now is eliminating the enemy; other matters can be discussed later," Ye Yunfei nodded to that Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign God, then with another flash appeared beside another of the Guardian Faction's Greater Sovereign Gods nearby.
This was a Sixth-Level Sovereign God. Dealing with a Sixth-Level Sovereign God given his current strength was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for Ye Yunfei. As soon as he unleashed his Soul Weapon Art and Heart Sword, this Sixth-Level Sovereign God's soul body was instantly suppressed, completely unable to move. Then, he was effortlessly subdued and sealed by Ye Yunfei.
Next, Ye Yunfei took a step and appeared directly beside another Guardian Faction Sixth-Level Sovereign God, launching a dominant offensive. Within one or two breaths, this Sixth-Level Sovereign God was also forcibly subdued and sealed.
Ye Yunfei's current movement speed was simply too fast; it was beyond the perception capabilities of Sixth and Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods. Thus, every time Ye Yunfei struck, it essentially constituted a sneak attack. Given his current strength, coupled with the element of surprise, the lethality was astonishing.
The Guardian Faction's Greater Sovereign Gods in this region had no idea what was happening before their soul bodies were abruptly suppressed by the suddenly appearing Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye's power is truly fearsome!" The Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign God who had just recognized Ye Yunfei watched as Ye Yunfei appeared and vanished at will across the battlefield zone with astonishing speed, successively subduing and sealing one opponent Sovereign God after another, his heart brimming with a mixture of shock and delight.
In only a brief moment, Ye Yunfei had subdued and sealed dozens of the Guardian Faction's Sovereign Gods with incredible speed—all of them Greater Sovereign Gods. Consequently, the Hunyuan Sect began gaining the upper hand within this battlefield zone.
At this moment, Elder Gan successfully led the first batch of troops into this battlefield zone. With a wave of his hand, he issued the combat command.
These newly arrived Hunyuan Sect troops, each brimming with fighting spirit, charged towards the Guardian Faction's army like fierce tigers descending a mountain.
"Elder Gan! It's you! Don't you oversee your own battlefield zone? Why have you come here?" The Seventh-Level Sovereign God who had earlier recognized Ye Yunfei saw Elder Gan suddenly arrive with a batch of troops onto this battlefield zone and joyfully inquired.
"Elder Liu, we followed Young Master Ye here. We are acting entirely according to his orders," Elder Gan replied with a smile.
"Now it's my turn," Huang Shang's dark, shadowy ghost form suddenly appeared beside Ye Yunfei, looking at the bustling battlefield all around, excitement evident in his tone.
Such a massive battlefield was essentially a huge resource repository for Huang Shang.
Huang Shang waved a hand, releasing his Ghost Army and Corpse Army, and then joined the fray.
Ye Yunfei also released his puppet army. A great multitude of puppets formed into numerous battle formations and charged towards the Guardian Faction's forces.
Ye Yunfei himself targeted mainly the Guardian Faction's Greater Sovereign Gods. Whenever he spotted an opponent Greater Sovereign God, he would instantly appear beside them at a remarkable speed and launch his assault.
"What's going on? Why is our number of Sovereign Gods dwindling?" Finally, the remaining Greater Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction within this battlefield zone began to sense that something was amiss.
