"Young Master Ye..."
After receiving Ye Yunfei's Sound Transmission and seeing his confident expression, the five Eighth Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect were taken aback.
"Please rest assured, all five Seniors. If we join forces, we have a chance to eliminate all these Guardian Faction bastards. And an evocation master from the Guardian Faction has also followed us here. We'll make our move as soon as that fellow enters." Ye Yunfei spoke again, his gaze turning toward the entrance/exit of this world.
After receiving Ye Yunfei's Sound Transmission, the five Eighth Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect also turned to look at the world's entrance. Sure enough, an Altar was charging into this world from outside and instantly appeared before everyone.
Sitting cross-legged upon that Altar was an elder dressed in broad robes, appearing extremely gaunt and withered, with a head resembling that of a bird's beak.
"Ye Yunfei! Truly living up to your reputation. So young, yet possessing such strength and methods. And so vicious-hearted and malevolent, capturing so many of our Guardian Faction's Sovereign Gods." The elder on the Altar stared sharply at Ye Yunfei as he spoke slowly.
This old Wizard of the Guardian Faction had immediately pursued Ye Yunfei after seeing him leave the battlefield. Through his divinations, he had deduced that Ye Yunfei was playing a decisive role in the war between the two major forces in the Fifth Void, capable of influencing the outcome of the conflict within this void. Therefore, he had disregarded the overall battlefield situation and specifically followed to deal with Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, be careful. This fellow is an old Wizard from the Guardian Faction of the Fifth Void. Not only are his divination skills profound, but he is also an Eighth Level Sovereign God, so his combat prowess won't be weak. That makes seven Eighth Level Sovereign Gods on their side." Upon seeing this old Wizard, the expressions of the five Hunyuan Sect Eighth Level Sovereign Gods turned somewhat grave. They each sent Sound Transmissions to Ye Yunfei, urging him to be cautious.
"There's no need for the five Seniors to worry. Good, now everyone is here. We can begin." Ye Yunfei's gaze swept slowly over the Guardian Faction's experts before he spoke with a cold laugh.
As his voice fell...
*Boom! Boom! Boom!...*
Formations appeared one after another in a steady stream, primarily concentrated in the space around Ye Yunfei's position. Dense layers of formation radiance surged forth from the void like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Then, earth-based formations emerged continuously as well. One dragon after another erupted from the void, their roaring howls intertwining, channeling the earth energy and earth laws of the surrounding space to form numerous perilous zones and deadly traps.
Following that, many invisible illusory formations emerged endlessly like transparent air bubbles.
While Ye Yunfei had been laying down formations earlier, Hu Miao had also been weaving illusions. After obtaining the Primordial True Fox Stele, Hu Miao had been continuously refining and absorbing its illusion path energy while cultivating the various ancient lineage techniques of the Great Heavenly Fox clan recorded within it. Thus, her strength had been steadily improving. The illusory landscapes she created now were even more powerful.
Watching large numbers of formations and earth-based arrays appear incessantly in the surrounding space, the Guardian Faction experts' expressions turned rather grim.
"Little beast surnamed Ye, you've laid down so many formations. It seems you know you can't escape and plan to make your final struggle here against us. However, faced with absolute strength, no tricks you play will be of any use. I advise you to surrender meekly and cease your futile struggle." An Eighth Level Sovereign God of the Guardian Faction said coldly.
"Thinking mere formations will be enough to deal with Eighth Level Sovereign Gods like us? You're overthinking it, little beast." Another Eighth Level Sovereign God sneered.
"With us here, you won't even touch a single hair on Young Master Ye! It is you who are overestimating yourselves!" At this moment, Elder Song and the other four Hunyuan Sect Eighth Level Sovereign Gods had already moved to Ye Yunfei's side, tightly protecting him.
"Attack. No matter what, we cannot let this little beast surnamed Ye escape this time." The old Wizard seated cross-legged on the Altar said in a heavy voice.
Immediately, all the Guardian Faction experts began unleashing their energy auras. Vast and mighty divine power soon filled the entire space, even causing the entire world to begin shaking.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!...*
Just as the Guardian Faction experts focused their gaze on Ye Yunfei and prepared to attack, they suddenly realized that massive amounts of violent winds had appeared in the surrounding space.
The number of those winds grew larger and larger, increasingly frenzied. Rolling gusts wildly swept toward the Guardian Faction experts.
"These gales... they're actively attacking me! What is happening?" A Seventh-Level Sovereign God of the Guardian Faction cried out in shock.
His body was currently enveloped by turbulent gales. These winds seemed like countless invisible wind blades relentlessly slicing toward his physical body. In an instant, his clothes were torn to tatters.
Although this Seventh-Level Sovereign God desperately released his divine power to form an energy defensive layer around himself, this layer lasted only a few breaths before being shredded to pieces by the raging winds. The terrifying gales then struck his flesh directly, instantly carving densely packed, bone-deep bloody gashes.
Soon, this Seventh-Level Sovereign God began screaming.
Almost simultaneously, another Seventh-Level Sovereign God also began to wail.
It had to be known that the power of the gales Ye Yunfei was currently generating far surpassed that created by that remnant will previously. Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods could hardly withstand them.
"What is happening? Why have so many terrifyingly powerful gales suddenly emerged in this world? And why are they actively attacking us?" At this moment, the six Eighth Level Sovereign Gods and that old Wizard of the Guardian Faction also found themselves besieged by raging winds, causing them both shock and fury.
What was even more terrifying was that amidst the billowing storms, colossal tornadoes that towered to the heavens began to appear.
The might of these tornadoes was even more horrifying. Towering whirlwinds howled as they rushed toward them, causing the Eighth Level Sovereign Gods to pale and retreat hurriedly.
The Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign Gods hastily summoned all their defensive treasures, unleashed their most formidable secret arts and techniques, and utilized all sorts of hidden cards and methods to begin defending.
"These winds seem to have been deliberately created by someone to deal with us." The old Wizard on the Altar also found himself surrounded by billowing gales and whirlwinds. Countless invisible wind blades continuously hacked toward him.
The Altar beneath the old Wizard erupted with radiant light, forming a luminous barrier that protected it. Simultaneously, a tortoise shell lifted from the table before the old Wizard, rapidly expanding in the blink of an eye into a gigantic shell that emitted mysterious, profound energy auras to protect him.
Additionally, over a dozen treasures of the Eighth Level Sovereign God grade also ascended into the air, shielding the old Wizard from the onslaught of the raging storms.
However, the endless torrents of wind and tornadoes surrounding them were simply too terrifying, tirelessly besieging them every moment.
"Aahh...! Old Wizard, Lords... please save us! We cannot hold on much longer!"
At this moment, the most miserable were the Guardian Faction's two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods. Although they had activated all their hidden cards and methods, they still could not defend against the potent, infinite torrents of gales and whirlwinds around them. All the flesh and hair on their bodies had already been stripped away, leaving only two stark white skeletons.
And those terrifying invisible wind blades were still relentlessly eroding their bones.
Their soul seas were tightly protected by over a dozen Soul Power-type artifacts, but clearly, they would not last long. Once their spirits and Soul Bodies were also destroyed, they would be truly annihilated in both body and soul.
The Guardian Faction's six Eighth Level Sovereign Gods and that old Wizard were also crazily besieged by winds and tornadoes and could not spare the energy to aid these two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods.
"What is happening? Why have so many terrifyingly powerful gales and tornadoes suddenly appeared in this world?" The five Eighth Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect side were all dumbstruck, their faces filled with confusion.
"Why do these winds and tornadoes only attack the Guardian Faction's forces, yet don't seem to affect us in the slightest? Could it be that these winds hold a grudge against the Guardian Faction?"
The five Hunyuan Sect Eighth Level Sovereign Gods could not figure out what was happening.
"All five Seniors, attack."
At this moment, Ye Yunfei had already approached the two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods. His gaze was cold as he looked at them while sending a Sound Transmission to the five Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods.
The two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods now only had small remnants of their skeletons left, a truly pitiful sight.
They were desperately resisting the gales' assault, not noticing Ye Yunfei had already appeared before them.
Ye Yunfei extended his hand and effortlessly suppressed, sealed, then imprisoned the two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods into the Phantom Tower.
Then, he forced several divine pills for rapid physical recovery into their mouths to help their flesh bodies regenerate.
Of course, Ye Yunfei's goal was to preserve their physical bodies for Huang Chang to refine into corpse soldiers. After all, Seventh-Level Sovereign God corpses were extremely precious assets to Huang Chang.
"Do you all think... these gales and tornadoes might be related to Young Master Ye?" As the Hunyuan Sect's five Eighth Level Sovereign Gods watched Ye Yunfei so easily suppress and seal those two Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods, while marvelling in awe, one Elder suddenly voiced this thought to the others via Sound Transmission.
