Elder Song and the other Eighth Level Sovereign God from the Hunyuan Sect were now giving their all, unleashing their most proficient killer moves and employing their various skills and hidden aces, madly attacking the Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign God.
At this moment, Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, and Hun Lao were all gathered around Ye Yunfei, coordinating with his attacks.
'The strength of an Eighth Level Sovereign God is indeed far superior to that of a Seventh-Level Sovereign God,' Hun Lao couldn't help but comment. 'If it were a Seventh-Level Sovereign God being suppressed by three Gravity Spheres, by now they'd probably be completely helpless. Yet, this fellow is actually holding on.'
'Indeed, the Eighth Level Sovereign God is much stronger than the Seventh Level,' Ye Yunfei nodded.
'However, this guy shouldn't be able to escape.' Ye Yunfei assessed the current battle situation and sneered.
'Little bastard Ye Yunfei! You've ruined my great plan! I will never let you off!' the Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign God suddenly turned to glare at Ye Yunfei, his words grinding out through clenched teeth.
Then, the dozen or so magic treasures beside him exploded simultaneously, releasing a vast, roiling tide of power that shot towards Ye Yunfei and the other two Hunyuan Sect Eighth Level Sovereign Gods. Immediately after, this Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God turned around and tried to flee.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bloody, haunted walls materialized one after another in the void ahead, densely packed, forming a large-scale ghost-wall formation.
Next, a tall stele shimmered into view, radiating powerful Illusion Dao Energy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Formation light-screens, resembling one dazzling great umbrella after another, appeared endlessly, instantly covering a vast expanse of the void.
During the earlier battle, Ye Yunfei, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang had already secretly laid out numerous arrays, illusion formations, and ghost formations in the surrounding space, all with the purpose of preventing this Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God from suddenly escaping.
With so many arrays, illusion formations, and ghost formations erupting at once, combined with the suppression of the three Gravity Spheres, the Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God found himself thoroughly surrounded and trapped, unable to break free.
'Young Master Ye's methods are truly superb!
And every single expert by his side is incredibly formidable,' Elder Song and the other Hunyuan Sect Eighth Level Sovereign God were inwardly awestruck at the sight.
They both charged forward, continuing to attack the trapped Guardian Faction Sovereign God alongside Ye Yunfei.
'Damn it!' The Guardian Faction Sovereign God, having just self-destructed a dozen magic treasures in an attempt to create an escape opportunity, found himself blocked again. Fury and terror surged to the peak in his heart.
His situation was dire—he couldn't win the fight, and now he couldn't even flee. He was plunged into a crisis of immense proportions.
'You won't escape. My advice is to accept your death obediently,' Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh, using his Mind Reading technique to perceive the various thoughts and notions swirling in the mind of this Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God.
With the continuous improvement of his Soul Power energy, the power of the Mind Reading technique Ye Yunfei employed had naturally grown stronger. He could now read the thoughts of an Eighth Level Sovereign God and even interfere with them. Under this interference, the Guardian Faction Sovereign God had a moment where he actually considered giving up resistance before quickly snapping out of it, breaking into a cold sweat.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, the fighting had essentially concluded. The Hunyuan Sect army had won a great victory, while the Guardian Faction's army had suffered a crushing defeat, with heavy casualties and only a small part fleeing in disarray.
Now, all the Hunyuan Sect's Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods had gathered nearby, watching the battle between the four powerhouses: the three Eighth Levels and Ye Yunfei.
The Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods soon conferred and planned to form several battle formations to assist in surrounding and attacking the enemy Eighth Level Sovereign God.
However, they quickly received mental messages from the two Hunyuan Sect Eighth Level Sovereign Gods, ordering them to lead the army in cleaning up the battlefield. This was because the Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God was already beginning to falter completely; the battle between the four powerhouses was nearing its end.
A short while later, Ye Yunfei, Elder Song, and the other Hunyuan Sect Eighth Level Sovereign God swarmed forward together, completely incapacitating the Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God and stripping him of his ability to resist.
Finally, with the help of Elder Song and the other Hunyuan Sect Eighth Level Sovereign God, Ye Yunfei successfully suppressed and sealed this Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God.
With that, the battle was utterly over.
'Hahaha... This victory is simply magnificent! Not only did we annihilate most of the Guardian Faction's forces on this battlefield, but we also killed an Eighth Level Sovereign God!' After the battle ended, both Elder Song and the other Hunyuan Sect Eighth Level Sovereign God felt immensely pleased and laughed heartily.
'Young Master Ye, the greatest credit for this victory should belong to you,' their gazes then turned to Ye Yunfei, filled with admiration.
They had clearly witnessed Ye Yunfei's outstanding performance throughout the battle. Later, it was Ye Yunfei's cooperation that successfully enabled them to defeat the Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign God.
It could be said that the primary reason for the Hunyuan Sect's resounding victory in this battle was Ye Yunfei's participation. More specifically, it was because Ye Yunfei eliminated the majority of the Guardian Faction's Sovereign Gods. This move was like cutting the fuel supply from under a cauldron—it completely sapped the Guardian Faction army's ability to fight back. Without those Sovereign Gods, the Guardian Faction army lost more than half its combat power.
'You two seniors flatter me,' Ye Yunfei replied with a smile. 'The credit for this victory belongs to every single person on the battlefield. Glory and honor should go to every participant.'
'Young Master Ye, you have a point. The glory and honor should belong to all participants,' both Eighth Level Sovereign Gods nodded repeatedly upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, appreciating him even more.
'Young Master Ye, shall we continue to support the next battlefield?' Elder Song asked Ye Yunfei.
'Certainly,' Ye Yunfei nodded.
'However, I need to go into seclusion for cultivation first,' he added.
'Very well, I'll issue orders now for the entire army to rest and recuperate here before setting out again. Having experienced so many consecutive battles, the army does indeed need a proper rest,' Elder Song nodded in agreement. The other Eighth Level Sovereign God also nodded his approval.
Following the orders of the two Eighth Level Sovereign Gods, the Hunyuan Sect army began to rest where they were.
Ye Yunfei found a spot nearby, created a small space by setting up a spell, entered it, and then proceeded into the Phantom Tower to begin his closed-door cultivation.
'Huang Lao, we'll split these Sovereign Gods' Soul Bodies evenly,' Ye Yunfei said to Huang Shang.
The number of Sovereign Gods Ye Yunfei had suppressed and sealed across several battlefields had now exceeded five hundred, ranging from First Level Sovereign Gods to Eighth Level Sovereign Gods, with the lower-level First to Fourth Levels naturally making up the majority.
He then gave half of these captured Sovereign Gods to Huang Shang.
The newly suppressed and sealed Eighth Level Sovereign God, Ye Yunfei kept for himself, as he needed to devour his Soul Body to extract his memories. An Eighth Level Sovereign God definitely counted as one of the Guardian Faction's top core executives in the Fifth Void.
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei began cultivating the Soul Power Starry Sky technique to devour the Soul Bodies of these Sovereign Gods. They had all been suppressed and sealed, incapable of any resistance, leaving them completely at Ye Yunfei's mercy as he absorbed their soul energy.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei took out vast quantities of cultivation resources for the nine divine beasts within the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel to feast upon. The resources he had harvested from all the Sovereign Gods sealed and suppressed across battlefields were simply beyond counting.
Ye Yunfei had his Blood Race Clone begin refining and absorbing the Bloodline Essence of the Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign God.
'You surname Ye bastard! How dare you try to refine my Bloodline Essence! You're courting death!
I am a core Elder of the Guardian Faction headquarters in the Fifth Void! If you dare touch me, our old sorcerer of the Guardian Faction will definitely deduce that you are the prime culprit. When that time comes, the Guardian Faction of the Fifth Void will spare no effort to find you and exact revenge! Are you certain you want to kill me?'
Though suppressed and sealed, this Eighth Level Sovereign God remained acutely conscious. Seeing Ye Yunfei not only intending to devour his Soul Body but also having a clone refine his Bloodline Essence sent him into a mix of shock and fury. He immediately launched into speech.
'Spouting so much nonsense even when death is at your doorstep—is that fun?' Ye Yunfei replied coldly.
The threats from this Eighth Level Sovereign God held no sway over him whatsoever. Ye Yunfei understood that the grudge between him and the Guardian Faction ran too deep; there would never be a day when it could be resolved.
Over the following time, Ye Yunfei had the Blood Race Clone continue refining and absorbing the Bloodline Essence while dozens of Soul Power planets surrounded and besieged the Soul Body of the Eighth Level Sovereign God.
'Damn you!' No matter how the Eighth Level Sovereign God raged, threatened, negotiated, or finally pleaded for mercy, Ye Yunfei remained unmoved. In the end, the Bloodline Essence of the Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign God was fully refined and absorbed by the Blood Race Clone, and his Soul Body was forcibly devoured by the dozens of Soul Power planets.
This marked the complete fall of an Eighth Level Sovereign God.
The moment the Eighth Level Sovereign God's Soul Body was fully devoured…
In a certain location within the Fifth Void, an elder draped in voluminous robes suddenly experienced a drastic change in complexion.
'Not good, Prison Master! One of our Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign Gods has fallen! It's Elder Tang!
Elder Tang's Soul Token has shattered!' the elder declared.
