"It seems this fellow has already notified the other powerhouses in the Netherworld; quite a few have already headed toward this Ice Mountain Hell."
After acquiring the Prison Master's memories, Ye Yunfei soon learned that the Prison Master had secretly sent out a message just moments ago, and many other powerhouses within the Netherworld, having received the news, were currently rushing over.
Thus, Ye Yunfei immediately suppressed his aura, concealed his form, and instantly left the black mountain peak, taking the Prison Master's corpse with him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The instant Ye Yunfei's figure departed from the black mountain peak, over a dozen black figures radiating powerful energy auras rushed into the Ice Mountain Hell one after another, then whooshed toward the black mountain peak at the hell's center before landing upon it.
"Where is the Ice Mountain Prison Master?
He sent a message earlier saying he was ambushed by a formidable enemy, and that enemy might very well be the legendary Soul Race.
I rushed here immediately after receiving the news, but where is he now?"
One of the figures shrouded in black robes spoke.
In fact, all these dozen-or-so black figures were enveloped in voluminous black robes, their faces also wrapped in black cloth, making it impossible for outsiders to discern their true appearances.
The black robes they wore seemed to be a type of magical treasure, specifically designed to conceal auras and hide forms, making it difficult for others to perceive their true features or cultivation strength with Soul Power energy. Yet, Ye Yunfei saw through the true cultivation levels of these dozen black-robed figures at a single glance.
"These are all Seventh Level Sovereign Gods. It seems these fellows are the Prison Masters of other hells within this Netherworld. They rushed over immediately upon receiving the Ice Mountain Prison Master's distress signal," Hun Lao chimed in via Sound Transmission.
"These are all Seventh Level Sovereign Gods from the Great Netherworld. Since they've come here, I won't stand on ceremony," Ye Yunfei said coldly, standing in the distant void as he watched the dozen black figures.
Ye Yunfei then executed a movement technique, instantly reappearing atop the black iceberg and charging into the palace.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The moment Ye Yunfei charged into the palace, one formation barrier after another immediately manifested around the building. These glowing barriers erupted with surging formation might and dazzling divine light, instantly enveloping the black palace.
"Not good! A large number of formations have appeared outside!"
The Prison Masters inside the palace, who were searching for the Ice Mountain Prison Master, suddenly sensed the constantly appearing formation barriers outside. Shock and anger appeared on their faces one after another.
They knew these formations must have been set up here in advance by the enemy, specifically waiting for them to arrive.
"How audacious! How dare they provoke our Great Netherworld! I'd like to see just who has such gall!" one of the black shadows said furiously.
"Could what the Ice Mountain Prison Master said be true? Has a Soul Race member actually come here?" another Prison Master voiced.
"If a Soul Race member has truly come, then everyone must be careful.
The Soul Race is an extremely bizarre race, specialized in lurking within the soul seas of other beings, making them very hard to detect.
Moreover, the Soul Race specifically attacks Soul Bodies. They can control others' Soul Bodies, even turning them into their slaves.
In short, if the opponent really is a Soul Race member, we must handle this cautiously," yet another Prison Master said in a grave tone.
"Whether he is of the Soul Race or not, our Great Netherworld is not to be trifled with.
This is the Netherworld! How dare they come here to stir up trouble! That shows they don't place our Great Netherworld in their eyes—it's a deliberate provocation!
We must settle the score with him properly, to teach him the consequences of provoking our Great Netherworld," another Prison Master spoke.
They were all Prison Masters of various hells within this Netherworld, each possessing the strength of a Seventh Level Sovereign God. Now gathered together within the Netherworld itself, they felt filled with confidence and feared no enemy.
"Want to settle accounts with me? You lot aren't qualified," Ye Yunfei sneered.
As his voice faded...
Rumble!...
Within the palace, a fierce gale instantly erupted. Surging winds rapidly filled every corner of the space, and countless invisible wind blades densely slashed toward the Prison Masters.
At the same time, towering tornadoes materialized, rumbling as they hurtled toward the Prison Masters.
The gales and tornadoes Ye Yunfei could now conjure could easily suppress Seventh Level Sovereign Gods. Thus, the moment these winds appeared, the Prison Masters were one after another pinned in place—unable to resist or escape. Amidst the roaring gale, they could only desperately employ various defensive techniques.
Yet, facing the endless winds and tornadoes, all their defenses gradually crumbled.
"Good. Now, all of you, be good and surrender," Ye Yunfei declared coldly, standing with his hands clasped behind his back amidst the roaring winds as he observed the already-suppressed Prison Masters.
Ye Yunfei then acted, capturing each of these Seventh Level Sovereign God Prison Masters one by one before sealing them inside the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei captured a total of thirteen Seventh Level Sovereign Gods, all Prison Masters of various hells within the Netherworld.
Counting the earlier Ice Mountain Prison Master, fourteen Prison Masters of this Netherworld had now fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands.
"What's happening within the Ice Mountain Hell?"
By this point, the commotion within the Ice Mountain Hell had been sensed by powerhouses throughout the entire Netherworld. One by one, they rushed out from their respective locations, soaring into the air as they headed toward the Ice Mountain Hell.
Meanwhile, after apprehending all those Prison Masters, Ye Yunfei executed his movement technique and shot out of the Ice Mountain Hell at a startling speed.
"I think you should try to find where this Netherworld's treasure vault is.
That so-called Ice Mountain Hell earlier had nothing of real value; it was utterly destitute.
I suspect the most valuable items in the Ice Mountain Hell were likely carried by that Ice Mountain Prison Master," Hu Miao the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed. The most valuable items in that hell earlier were all on that Prison Master. They are all here now—take a look if there's anything good," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile upon hearing Hu Miao's words. He then retrieved over a dozen spatial rings and tossed them in front of Hu Miao.
These spatial rings were all found on the Ice Mountain Prison Master's corpse.
In the following moments, Ye Yunfei used his movement technique to charge toward a certain location within this Netherworld.
Having devoured the Ice Mountain Prison Master's Soul Body earlier, Ye Yunfei had acquired most of his memories and thus was now quite familiar with this Netherworld.
Based on those memories, the strongest entity within this Netherworld was a Ninth Level Sovereign God.
This Ninth Level Sovereign God generally secluded himself in a very hidden location within the Netherworld for closed-door cultivation, rarely making an appearance. The daily affairs of this Netherworld were generally handled by those Eighth and Seventh Level Sovereign Gods.
Ye Yunfei now charged directly toward the seclusion spot of this Netherworld's strongest Ninth Level Sovereign God, intending to make the first move against him.
Given Ye Yunfei's current strength, dealing with a Ninth Level Sovereign God wasn't difficult.
Soon, Ye Yunfei arrived before the entrance to a dim Small World within the Netherworld. That Ninth Level Sovereign God was secluding himself within this Small World; within this Netherworld, he was known as the Mansion Lord, also referred to as the King of Hell.
This Mansion Lord usually maintained an extremely low profile, not showing himself under ordinary circumstances.
Around the entrance to this Small World were many patrol squads coming and going, forbidding any being of the Netherworld from approaching.
Ye Yunfei directly approached the Small World entrance and prepared to charge inside.
"Who are you?
This is a forbidden area of the Netherworld! Regardless of who you are, unauthorized entry is prohibited!"
Immediately, several patrol squads simultaneously rushed over from different directions, their squad leaders shouting reprimands at Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei swept a palm horizontally. His hand continuously enlarged, covering heaven and earth in an instant as it released terrifying physical strength, forcefully suppressing a vast stretch of space ahead. He then extended his hand, directly seizing all members of those patrol squads within his palm before clenching forcefully, shaking them all into dust.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Just as Ye Yunfei attempted to step into the Small World, one formation barrier after another continuously manifested.
Ye Yunfei retrieved a large handful of Break Formation Flags and tossed them forward, continuously inserting them onto those formation barriers. Immediately, all formations simultaneously failed. Ye Yunfei then took a single step, entering the Small World.
"Well, well. In all my years here in secluded cultivation, this is the first time someone has dared barge into my cave-dwelling."
The moment Ye Yunfei entered, an eerie voice echoed within the Small World. Then, a powerful energy aura erupted as a tall black figure slowly manifested high in the sky of this Small World.
"A Ninth Level Sovereign God of the Great Netherworld. I wonder what this fellow's combat prowess is like?
Apart from this Mansion Lord with Ninth Level Sovereign God strength, there are quite a few Eighth Level Sovereign Gods within this Netherworld. Moreover, this is their territory after all. You'd best be cautious," Hun Lao cautioned Ye Yunfei.
"Just some Eighth and Ninth Level Sovereign Gods; they can't do anything to me," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"This is territory of the Great Netherworld. Even if I can't kill all these guys, I will dismantle this Netherworld—consider it collecting some interest on behalf of Elder Huang." Ye Yunfei added.
