After imprisoning those two Seventh Level Sovereign Gods within the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei turned his gaze towards the Guardian Faction's six Eighth Level Sovereign Gods and the old wizard.
Although they were slightly better off, facing the endless, frenzied onslaught of violent winds and tornadoes still left them in a sorry state. Gradually, they began to feel a sense of helplessness despite their efforts.
"Damn it! These winds seem to be man-made, specifically targeting the few of us."
By now, the old wizard and the six Eighth Level Sovereign Gods had already noticed that Ye Yunfei and the five Eighth Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect were standing there effortlessly, completely untouched by the wind and tornado attacks. They couldn't help but feel both shocked and enraged.
"Could these winds and tornadoes be a trap set in advance by your Hunyuan Sect?"
One of the Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign Gods suddenly thought of this possibility and roared in fury.
"Indeed, these winds were set up in advance precisely to deal with the lot of you. This place is destined to be your burial ground," Ye Yunfei replied with a cold laugh.
"So it's true! These winds are indeed related to Young Master Ye. He prepared them here ahead of time!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the five Eighth Level Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect were both shocked and delighted.
"Seniors, it's time to act. These fellows are already suppressed. Dealing with them now won't be difficult," Ye Yunfei said to the Hunyuan Sect's five Eighth Level Sovereign Gods.
"Excellent. We'll act now and take this chance to eliminate them."
Receiving Ye Yunfei's signal, the five Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect felt their spirits surge. They understood that killing these six Eighth Level Sovereign Gods and the old wizard would deal a massive blow to the entire Guardian Faction in the Fifth Void. In fact, eliminating just this old wizard and these six Eighth Level Sovereign Gods would allow the Hunyuan Sect to gain absolute dominance in the Fifth Void, decisively determining the outcome of the war between the two major powers in this void.
As they grasped this, murderous intent surged like a tide within the five Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods, and they immediately charged forward to attack.
"Seniors, one at a time. First concentrate our power to kill one of them, then deal with another," Ye Yunfei hurriedly transmitted via sound transmission when he saw the five Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods about to disperse and tackle different opponents.
"Young Master Ye makes a good point. We shall do as he suggests."
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the five Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods paused their steps before nodding in unison, recognizing the logic in his advice.
Thus, the five Hunyuan Sect powerhouses simultaneously targeted one of the Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign Gods and charged at him.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei activated two magical treasures—the Great Wind Stele and the Wind Orb—and channeled the cultivation legacy of the Wind Demon God, unleashing even more powerful and larger-scale violent winds and tornadoes to continue besieging the old wizard and the Guardian Faction's six Eighth Level Sovereign Gods.
Though the old wizard and the six Sovereign Gods could still barely hold their ground within the churning tempest—unlike the two Seventh Level Sovereign Gods earlier who were nearly obliterated, body and soul, in mere breaths—their struggle remained arduous.
Both the Great Wind Stele and the Wind Orb were treasures used by the Wind Demon God to dominate the entire Chaotic Void Sea in ancient times. Despite the passage of countless years, they were impeccably preserved, their might undiminished. Even Eighth Level Sovereign Gods found them difficult to handle.
And due to Ye Yunfei's control, the Hunyuan Sect's five Sovereign Gods, though within the range of the raging winds, were not affected in the slightest.
The five Hunyuan Sect powerhouses swiftly surrounded the chosen Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God and launched a ferocious assault.
Pitifully, this Eighth Level Sovereign God of the Guardian Faction could barely move under the attacks of the violent winds and tornadoes. Now facing the frenzied attacks of five powerhouses of the same rank, he was utterly incapable of mounting an effective defense or counterattack. Within moments, he began to sustain injuries, his face filled with terror as he roared incessantly. He simply could not simultaneously resist the terrifying tornadoes and the five same-rank enemies around him.
"Seniors, cripple him first, then suppress and seal him. His physical body and Soul Body are still of great use to me," Ye Yunfei hurriedly transmitted a reminder, worried that the five Hunyuan Sect elders might annihilate this Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God completely.
"Very well. Rest assured, Young Master Ye. We will do our utmost to preserve his physical body and Soul Body."
Upon receiving Ye Yunfei's transmission, the five elders immediately agreed.
"Damn it! To think the Hunyuan Sect possesses such a dreadful method! This seems like the power of the ancient Wind Demon God. Not long ago, a world where the Wind Demon God once secluded himself to cultivate appeared on a battlefield. Could it be that someone from the Hunyuan Sect obtained his legacy in that world?"
As the old wizard observed the crazed winds and tornadoes roaring around him, these thoughts emerged in his mind. He was employing various methods to fend off the violent onslaught while trying to escape. However, he simply could not break through the encircling winds and was forced to remain where he was, resisting with all his strength.
Not long after, that besieged Eighth Level Sovereign God of the Guardian Faction finally buckled under the pressure. The five Hunyuan Sect elders swarmed over him, forcibly suppressed him, completely stripping him of any ability to fight back. The surrounding terrifying winds and tornadoes immediately swept over him, instantly tearing open his flesh and causing blood to pour from the wounds.
Deprived of his defensive methods, this Eighth Level Sovereign God could no longer resist the attacks of wind and tornadoes. His internal energy was almost exhausted, and his Soul Body was severely injured, leaving him utterly powerless.
Ye Yunfei also rushed over and, with the help of the five Hunyuan Sect elders, grievously wounded this Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God, forcibly sealed him, and then imprisoned him within the Phantom Tower.
"Excellent! We've finally captured an Eighth Level Sovereign God!" Hu Miao cried out excitedly.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei and the five Hunyuan Sect elders charged toward their next target, immediately launching a ferocious assault.
This Eighth Level Sovereign God was trapped by the terrifying winds and tornadoes. Though he tried desperately to flee, he never succeeded. Ye Yunfei and the five Hunyuan Sect elders unleashed their full power. Within moments, they left this Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God completely unable to counterattack.
Then, with a point of his finger, Ye Yunfei directed over a dozen tornadoes rushing in from different directions. They simultaneously slammed into this Sovereign God's body, instantly shattering all of his defenses. The multitude of attacks from the five Hunyuan Sect elders also rained down on his body, suppressing him until he was powerless to resist.
Ye Yunfei and the five Hunyuan Sect elders then swarmed over him, firmly pinning down his physical body. Soon after, this Eighth Level Sovereign God was completely crippled and then imprisoned by Ye Yunfei within the Phantom Tower.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei and the five Hunyuan Sect elders rushed towards their third target and immediately attacked.
"This is bad. If this continues, all of our Guardian Faction powerhouses here will likely fall, including myself," thought the old wizard with growing anxiety as he witnessed this scene.
"Everyone, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for us. We must leave this place immediately," the old wizard transmitted to the remaining Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign Gods.
But there was no response. The other Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign Gods were all busy fending off the violent winds.
"Everyone, hurry and save me!"
The currently besieged Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God was beginning to buckle. Resisting the winds and tornadoes for so long had already taken a toll, and now facing attacks from so many same-rank opponents, he was quickly beaten back, sustaining continuous injuries. In his desperation, he loudly cried for help.
"No one can save you now."
With a cold laugh, Ye Yunfei pointed his finger. Over a dozen tornadoes spun madly, charging in from different directions.
Seeing the surrounding Hunyuan Sect powerhouses and the torrent of tornadoes, the Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God paled. He knew that under such circumstances, the slightest misstep would lead to his utter destruction.
"Enough, I can't afford to care anymore."
Gritting his teeth, he inwardly made a decision. With a *bang*, his physical body exploded into fragments that shot off in different directions. Not only his physical body, but even his Soul Body split into several pieces.
Each Soul Body fragment attached itself to a soul-type magic treasure, erupting with powerful energy that violently shattered the surrounding space, attempting to flee into the depths of the void.
"Futile."
Seeing this Eighth Level Sovereign God suddenly self-detonate his body, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but let out a cold smile. In truth, Ye Yunfei's divine eye in his glabella saw through it instantly: among the various body fragments after the explosion were merely clones. His true core was hidden within one of the fragments, trying to slip away into the void amidst the chaos.
*Boom boom boom...*
Ye Yunfei pointed, and torrents of violent wind pursued into the depths of the void. Countless invisible wind blades continuously hacked at that one particular fragment. Ye Yunfei himself had already followed into the void depths.
"This is my territory now."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm chuckled, then immediately activated his race's heritage technique, generating a multitude of golden runes. Hun Lao also mobilized the spatial energy deep within this void, forming a massive spatial formation that instantly sealed off the path ahead.
Also in pursuit were the five Hunyuan Sect elders, each skilled in spatial energy and laws. Even within the depths of the void, their combat prowess remained overwhelming.
The Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign God thought escaping into the void depths would give him a chance to slip away, but he simply had no opportunity. His self-detonation having weakened him, he was even less of a match. He was soon forcefully sealed by Ye Yunfei and the five Hunyuan Sect powerhouses.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei and the five Hunyuan Sect powerhouses returned to the main space.
Learning from the previous case, the winds and tornadoes controlled by Ye Yunfei left no opportunity for the remaining three Eighth Level Sovereign Gods and the old wizard to flee into the void depths. Boundless, terrifying winds and tornadoes formed a tight seal around the surrounding space, firmly trapping the old wizard and the three remaining Guardian Faction Eighth Level Sovereign Gods.
"These winds attack not only the physical body but also the Soul Body. We have no chance of escape."
One of the Guardian Faction's Eighth Level Sovereign Gods turned deathly pale, a look of despair appearing on his face. His words had just finished when Ye Yunfei and the five Hunyuan Sect elders simultaneously charged over, surrounded him, and launched a fearsome assault.
