"Excellent! The war in this void has only just begun, and our Hunyuan Sect has already achieved complete victory on two battlefields!"
The Sovereign Gods of the Hunyuan Sect were all extremely excited.
"As long as we follow Young Master Ye, defeating those fellows from the Guardian Faction is simply too easy."
Powerful figures like Elder Song all praised Ye Yunfei profusely.
Ye Yunfei had subdued a large number of Heavenly God-level clones on two battlefields. He dispatched a portion of the Heavenly God clones to gather various intelligence on the Guardian Faction.
"Seniors, let's continue our operations. According to our earlier plan of targeting from weak to strong, we first reinforce the battlefields that are moderate in scale and not overwhelmingly powerful, gradually eliminating more of the Guardian Faction's forces. Then, we proceed to support the larger, stronger battlefields."
Ye Yunfei spoke.
"Young Master Ye, just give the specific orders. We will all follow your commands."
As soon as Ye Yunfei finished speaking, Elder Song and the other two Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods expressed their stance. Even Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods spoke thus, so the other Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods naturally had no objections.
At Ye Yunfei's command, the large army once again set out in a grand and mighty procession towards the third battlefield.
Soon, they arrived at the third battlefield. Fighting had already begun here; both armies were locked in fierce combat, battle cries shaking the heavens.
The battlefields Ye Yunfei had chosen initially were all relatively small in scale, with the overall strength of both sides' forces not being exceptionally high.
On this third battlefield, the strongest Sovereign Gods on either side were Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods. Each side had three Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods overseeing the battle.
Ye Yunfei employed his old tactic. He first had Elder Song and the others lead the army to station themselves at a distance. Meanwhile, he stealthily entered the third battlefield and began using the Soul Purification Art, continuously subduing the Heavenly Gods from the Guardian Faction on this battlefield one after another, turning them into his own clones.
Throughout the entire process, Ye Yunfei suppressed his aura, concealed his form, and with his nearly imperceptible movement speed, no one could detect him.
As time passed, more and more Heavenly Gods from the Guardian Faction on this battlefield became Ye Yunfei's clones. These newly converted Heavenly Gods began fighting passively, constantly retreating to the rear.
Gradually, the Hunyuan Sect forces on this battlefield began to gain the upper hand.
"What's going on? The battle has only just begun. Why does our side already show signs of defeat?"
The three Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction noticed this change and were all somewhat beside themselves with rage.
"What are you lot doing? One after another, all cowards fearing death, actually retreating? Get back up there and fight!"
One Seventh-Level Sovereign God, seeing many Heavenly Gods from his side quietly falling back, became furious. He roared, then stretched out a hand and grabbed several Heavenly Gods from mid-air. He hurled them forward into the central area of the battlefield. However, these Heavenly Gods were already Ye Yunfei's clones. Even if thrown into the heart of the battlefield, they wouldn't truly engage in combat; encountering Hunyuan Sect members, they would constantly dodge and retreat.
As time went on, more and more Heavenly Gods from the Guardian Faction became Ye Yunfei's clones. Subsequently, the Guardian Faction's army on this battlefield became increasingly and noticeably inferior.
Finally, Ye Yunfei had subdued the vast majority of the Guardian Faction's Heavenly Gods on this battlefield, making them his clones.
"Seniors, you may advance now."
Ye Yunfei stopped moving and sent a Sound Transmission to Elder Song and the others.
Elder Song and the others had long grown impatient. Upon receiving Ye Yunfei's message, they immediately led the army charging grandly over.
"What's going on? It seems reinforcements from our Hunyuan Sect have arrived!"
The three Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods overseeing this battlefield suddenly saw an army charging mightily from the distance, attacking the Guardian Faction's forces. They also clearly saw that many within this charging army were Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods they recognized, so they knew allies had arrived.
After entering the battlefield, Elder Song and the other two Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods quickly took control of the entire situation.
The three Hunyuan Sect Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods managing this battlefield were astonished upon seeing Elder Song and the other two Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods. After learning their identities, they hurried over to pay their respects.
Although Elder Song and the other two Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods managed Hunyuan Sect affairs in the Fifth Void, as Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods of the sect, they frequently traveled to various other voids to handle matters, so the three Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods overseeing this battlefield had encountered Elder Song and the others before.
At this time, Ye Yunfei began moving through the battlefield, capturing Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods wherever he went and imprisoning them in the Phantom Tower.
As time flowed, more and more Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods on this battlefield were captured by Ye Yunfei and locked away in the Phantom Tower.
Elder Song and the two other Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods led the Hunyuan Sect army, tightly encircling the Guardian Faction forces on this battlefield, giving their members no chance to escape.
Soon, all Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods on this battlefield were captured by Ye Yunfei and imprisoned in the Phantom Tower. Then, the fighting on this battlefield concluded.
"Young Master Ye, we have completely defeated the Guardian Faction army on the third battlefield."
After the battle ended, a large group of Hunyuan Sect Sovereign Gods surrounded Ye Yunfei, all exhilarated because the victory had been too easy. The vast majority of Guardian Faction Heavenly Gods on this battlefield had become Ye Yunfei's clones, and most of their Sovereign Gods had been captured and imprisoned by him. The remaining Guardian Faction troops were utterly defenseless.
"Young Master Ye, what do we do next?"
Powerful members of the Hunyuan Sect like Elder Song all looked at Ye Yunfei with eager eyes.
"Following our plan, we now prepare to set off to support the next battlefield," Ye Yunfei stated.
At Ye Yunfei's command, the Hunyuan Sect army began its grand march toward the next battlefield.
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei led the Hunyuan Sect army through battle after battlefield. His targets of action were prioritized according to battlefields that were relatively smaller in scale and with forces of weaker overall strength – progressing from the weak to the strong.
Unbeknownst, Ye Yunfei and his army had already eradicated Guardian Faction forces on nearly ten battlefields.
Of course, by the tenth battlefield, both sides had Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods present. Moreover, the scale and overall strength of the armies on this battlefield were already quite formidable.
On the tenth battlefield, each side had one Eighth-Level Sovereign God, five Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods, and dozens of Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods – it was a lively and intense fight.
Ye Yunfei led the Hunyuan Sect army and charged directly into this battlefield.
Then, high-ranking members like Elder Song led the army in frontal combat against the Guardian Faction forces. Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei suppressed his aura and hid his form, relying on his astonishing speed to move stealthily across the battlefield. He first targeted the Guardian Faction Heavenly Gods on this battlefield.
Only after subduing most of the Heavenly Gods on the battlefield as clones did Ye Yunfei begin targeting the Guardian Faction's Sovereign Gods.
Originally, the scale and strength of the two armies on this battlefield were quite balanced. However, with the arrival of Ye Yunfei's force, the Hunyuan Sect immediately gained the upper hand. The Guardian Faction army began to be beaten back step by step.
It must be understood that the army Ye Yunfei brought included three Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods and dozens of Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods – its overall strength was extremely potent.
Moreover, there was also Ye Yunfei acting in secret, continuously weakening the Guardian Faction's forces.
As time passed, Ye Yunfei, relying on his astounding movement technique, captured more and more Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods on this battlefield.
The Guardian Faction army found it increasingly difficult to hold its ground, suffering defeat after defeat.
The Guardian Faction's Eighth-Level Sovereign God was surrounded by several Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods from the Hunyuan Sect and quickly overwhelmed, unable to fight back. He simply had no energy left to attend to the other Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods.
After another stretch of time, over half of the Guardian Faction's Sovereign Gods on this battlefield had fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands.
Thus, the Guardian Faction army was even less able to withstand the assault, descending into a state of complete collapse.
All those Heavenly God clones Ye Yunfei had previously subdued now turned against the Guardian Faction troops.
The pitiful ordinary forces of the Guardian Faction were utterly incapable of coping. In a short time, they were slaughtered, fleeing in all directions with heavy casualties.
By now, the Guardian Faction's Eighth-Level Sovereign God had been severely injured by the Hunyuan Sect's Eighth-Level Sovereign Gods and had lost the ability to fight back.
Ye Yunfei walked over and directly captured the severely wounded Eighth-Level Sovereign God, sealing and imprisoning him in the Phantom Tower.
The ensuing battle held no suspense whatsoever. The Hunyuan Sect army swept across the entire battlefield with absolute superiority in a short time, like an autumn gale sweeping away fallen leaves, completely annihilating the Guardian Faction forces.
Thus, the fighting on this battlefield truly ended.
"Young Master Ye, thank you for coming to support us. Your aid allowed our battlefield to achieve a complete victory."
After the battle concluded, the Hunyuan Sect Eighth-Level Sovereign God overseeing this battlefield came before Ye Yunfei and spoke gratefully. He had already learned about Ye Yunfei from powerful members like Elder Song and felt both admiration and gratitude towards Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, in this battle, our Hunyuan Sect forces won extremely easily, achieving an utterly crushing victory. Our side's casualties were minimal, all thanks to you, Young Master Ye."
That Eighth-Level Sovereign God said.
"Senior, there's no need for formalities. Victory on the battlefield is a collective achievement, the result of everyone's joint efforts," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"Elder Song, pass down the order. Have the army rest well, and then we will proceed to the next target battlefield," Ye Yunfei looked towards Elder Song and spoke.
During this period, Ye Yunfei had led the army through ten consecutive battlefields, so this force was somewhat fatigued.
"Very well. Young Master Ye, I will immediately pass down the order for the army to rest thoroughly."
Elder Song nodded promptly in agreement.
Within this army now, Ye Yunfei's commands would be executed absolutely; no one would question or disobey them.
"It seems this young man is even more extraordinary than I imagined."
The Eighth-Level Sovereign God overseeing this battlefield saw Elder Song's attitude towards Ye Yunfei – it was entirely that of a subordinate facing a superior, as if any command from Ye Yunfei would be obeyed – and couldn't help but feel deeply shocked.
At Ye Yunfei's order, the army began resting on the spot.
"I should also seclude myself for cultivation for a while," Ye Yunfei said softly.
Then, Ye Yunfei found a relatively quiet place nearby, set up a formation-based small space, and entered it. During this period on the battlefield, Ye Yunfei had captured another large batch of Guardian Faction Sovereign Gods.
Now, Ye Yunfei planned to devour the Soul Bodies of all these Sovereign Gods to enhance his Soul Power energy and the quality of his own Soul Body.
