"It seems what's happening before us involves a feud between two ancient powers," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"Such conflicts between ancient factions are often the most far-reaching and the longest-lasting."
"Master, Sister Qing Luo belongs to the Reincarnation Sect, so naturally, we stand on their side," Hu Miao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Of course. Qing Luo's stance is my stance, that is beyond doubt," Ye Yunfei nodded and spoke.
"It's just that with my current strength, I'm afraid I cannot yet interfere in the conflicts between ancient forces like the Reincarnation Sect and the Great Netherworld.
For now, the most important thing for me is still resisting the Guardian Faction."
"Friends of the Guardian Faction, let us go in together," the elder leaning on the black cane spoke.
His voice also had a frail, trembling quality, as if he were extremely aged, so old that walking was difficult, yet everyone's gaze upon him was filled with apprehension.
Because they all knew he must be an exceptionally fearsome expert.
After speaking, he slowly made his way towards the spatial passage ahead with the aid of his cane.
"Very well.
Friend from the Great Netherworld, let us go in together to see what is so special about this so-called Reincarnation Passage that it confines others and restrains themselves, forbidding us from entering. They will soon learn that so-called Forbidden Lands are but a joke before us," the core elder of the Guardian Faction immediately spoke up, then stepped forward to walk side-by-side with that elder.
"The Reincarnation Forbidden Land may not be trespassed without permission," the grey figure standing at the entrance of the Reincarnation Passage said, watching the two powerhouses approach.
As his voice fell, the grey figure raised the Wooden Whip in his hand and lashed out forward.
Rolling white mist surged forth, and powerful Reincarnation Energy, like torrents of cosmic floods, rushed out from the Reincarnation Passage behind him.
At that moment, it seemed the entire Reincarnation Passage began to tremble, releasing terrifying Reincarnation Energy, along with thick white law chains.
Following the billowing white mist, they erupted from the Reincarnation Passage, soaring skywards, intertwining continuously, and in a moment, formed a vast white net that swept towards the two experts.
The elder with the black cane suddenly looked up, his seemingly empty, lifeless eyes shooting out two glistening green beams of light.
These two emerald glares were like two small green daggers that collided with the large white net, constantly cutting.
Then, massive amounts of gloomy, sinister energy were released from this elder's body, surging like the Yellow Springs.
Behind him, directly appeared a terrifying world.
Within that world were many bare, bizarre trees.
Instead of branches, those strange trees grew numerous sharp swords and blades; in other words, the branches of these trees were oddly-shaped swords and knives.
Moreover, on those blades and swords hung many wraiths, letting out agonized screams.
Boom...
That terrifying world continuously expanded, releasing boundless resentment and grievous energy, sinister and horrifying, as it pressed forward to suppress.
While this elder of the Great Netherworld acted, the core elder of the Guardian Faction also made his move. Once again, he brought forth that Seven-Colored Glazed Pagoda, which soared into the sky, constantly growing larger as it suppressed towards the grey figure ahead.
Heaven-scraping rays of seven-colored light instantly illuminated the entire world with dazzling brilliance, so bright it was almost blinding.
The Reincarnation Passage behind the grey figure was still spewing forth large quantities of white mist, which was actually Reincarnation Energy condensed to an extreme point.
Along with it came thick white law chains, charging out like white dragons one after another.
Countless white law chains soared skywards, riding the wind, to withstand the attacks from the two powerhouses of the Great Netherworld and the Guardian Faction.
After a good while of fighting, both sides remained locked in a stalemate in their original positions, neither advancing nor retreating, causing everyone watching to feel inwardly astonished.
Originally, everyone thought that with the arrival of the Great Netherworld elder, joining forces with the Guardian Faction's core elder would give them the advantage.
But now it seemed the grey figure of the Reincarnation Sect was actually able to hold off two powerful experts.
After attacking for some time, the Great Netherworld elder and the Guardian Faction's core elder, finding that the grey figure had not retreated a single step, began to feel somewhat frustrated and embarrassed, their pride wounded.
A Soul Summoning Banner suddenly shot out from within the Great Netherworld elder's body, growing larger and releasing dense black mist that instantly submerged a vast area of space, as if the gates of hell had been opened.
Savage, murderous auras blotted the sky and covered the earth.
Boom...
Within the churning black mist, the Soul Summoning Banner continued to expand as it surged forward.
The surging, oppressive dark energy caused the temperature of the entire world to plummet drastically, making every living being in this world feel icy cold to the bone, their hairs standing on end as if plunged into an ice cavern.
Simultaneously, a brilliant divine light shot up from the head of the Guardian Faction's core elder, towering hundreds of thousands of feet high, thick as a divine mountain, illuminating the world with rolling divine radiance as it crashed towards the grey figure ahead.
Both powerhouses attacked with their full strength, wanting to force the grey figure back.
However, behind that figure, tumultuous Reincarnation Energy gushed forth incessantly, resembling a vast white ocean, turning everything it touched into a world of white.
The three powerhouses fought there for a long time, yet still no victor emerged.
The grey figure of the Reincarnation Sect remained standing motionless in place, his movements also slow and unhurried, but each and every move of his precisely blocked the varied attacks from the two experts opposite him.
Standing at a distance, Ye Yunfei was continuously perceiving the battle between these three great experts, his Divine Pupil also analyzing and studying.
Because the energy and laws released by these three powerhouses' clash were too advanced and too terrifying, beings whose strength was insufficient simply could not clearly see the details of their battle.
But Ye Yunfei was different. With the aid of his Divine Pupil, he could clearly see every single move and technique throughout the three powerhouses' combat, benefiting greatly.
As they fought on, the Great Netherworld elder and the Guardian Faction core elder grew more and more anxious, because after joining forces for so long, they had still failed to advance even half a step.
Later in the battle, both experts were boiling with immense fury, shouting in rage as they fought, even stamping in anger.
As for Elder Hu and the other Greater Sovereign Gods, seeing the level of the three powerhouses' clash, they dared not approach.
"It seems our Reincarnation Sect has truly maintained a low profile for too long, to the point where we are now being picked on at our own doorstep."
Just at that moment, a calm voice suddenly came from within the Reincarnation Passage.
When the voice sounded, it was very placid, neither sorrowful nor joyful, nor particularly loud.
Amidst the deafening roars of the erupting energy, it was a sound easily overlooked.
And yet, it clearly reached the ears of every single living being in this world.
Every being's Soul Body even involuntarily began to sway to the rhythm of that voice, feeling the heavens spin and the earth whirl.
