With a thought, Ye Yunfei released a torrential ocean of powerful Soul Force Energy from his head. With a loud bang, the crimson hand was instantly shattered on the spot. The current level of Ye Yunfei's Soul Power far surpassed that of most Ninth Level Sovereign Gods. The Soul Force attack of a mere Seventh-Level Sovereign God couldn't even get close to Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
Just releasing the pressure from a portion of his Soul Force Energy was enough to dissolve the attack.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
At this moment, even more beings unleashed their Soul Force Martial Arts and began attacking Ye Yunfei.
Rustle...
With another thought from Ye Yunfei, the Soul Nurturing Tree within his Soul Sea rustled as vast quantities of lush, green branches and leaves extended outward. Hundreds of millions of these branches and leaves scattered into the air, instantly forming a green circular shield that protected Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
Furthermore, a great number of verdant branches and leaves extended into the surrounding space like emerald arrows, attacking the heads of the other beings nearby.
Simultaneously, countless invisible Puppet Soul Threads rained down like a heavy downpour from Ye Yunfei's head, assaulting the Soul Seas and soul bodies of the surrounding beings at astonishing speeds.
CLANG! CLANG!
Over two thousand seven hundred Soul Force weapons, centered on Ye Yunfei's head, slashed outwards, instantly piercing through numerous layers of defense and invading the heads of the nearby beings.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei deployed his Heart Sword. The attacks of the Heart Sword required almost no time at all and could immediately breach all defenses, invading the Soul Seas of those beings.
Most of the beings besieging Ye Yunfei in this space were Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Level Sovereign Gods, with a smaller portion being Eighth Level Sovereign Gods. No Ninth Level Sovereign Gods had appeared for now.
These Sovereign Gods were far too weak in Ye Yunfei's eyes. Therefore, even facing simultaneous attacks from so many Sovereign Gods using Soul Force Martial Arts, Ye Yunfei remained utterly unperturbed.
AHHHH!
Some Sovereign Gods, struck by Ye Yunfei's Soul Force Martial Arts attacks, immediately began to scream in agony.
Within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, several dozen high-grade Soul Force artifacts were simultaneously activated. These artifacts had been carefully selected by Ye Yunfei specifically to protect his Soul Sea. Their defensive capabilities were naturally excellent.
"Damn it! This brat's Soul Force Energy is too powerful! Everyone, be careful!" someone shouted in shock and anger after being attacked.
"Why are we afraid of him? No matter how strong he is, he's just one person, fighting alone. With so many of us, how can we be afraid of him?" another voice roared.
"Attack together! All of us, attack together!"
An old man soared into the air and shouted loudly—this was an Eighth Level Sovereign God.
"That's right! Even though this brat's combat power is terrifying, with so many of us, there's no reason to fear him alone. Let's attack together! We have strength in numbers; we can wear him down until he dies!"
Another Eighth Level Sovereign God appeared in a different direction, holding a silver spear. Brilliant spear light erupted from his entire body as he shouted loudly.
With a boom, the silver spear in his hands surged towards Ye Yunfei like a silver dragon.
At this moment, nearly every being in the surroundings began to move. Each unleashed their Divine Power Energy, executed various techniques and secret arts, or summoned various magical treasures, launching a full-scale siege against Ye Yunfei.
There were also beings adept in Soul Force Martial Arts who continuously employed various sophisticated Soul Force techniques to assault Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea from a distance.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Just then, outside the dense crowd besieging Ye Yunfei, powerful energy auras suddenly erupted one after another. Then, eight murderous figures appeared.
A total of eight Ninth Level Sovereign Gods!
Four of them were emanating tyrannical blade radiance—clearly, they were powerhouses from the Blade Realm.
"They actually dispatched so many Blade Realm powerhouses. I estimate that this operation against you was very likely orchestrated by the Blade Realm. The Guardian Faction was just utterly defeated in the Fourth Void and forced to flee in disarray. It's unlikely they could have regrouped so quickly to return here and deal with you. So, the Blade Realm is probably the main force behind this." Hun Lao transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"That seems correct. There's a significant number of blade cultivators among these besiegers, so the Blade Realm is surely one of the masterminds." Ye Yunfei nodded upon hearing Hun Lao's analysis.
"Everyone, attack! Today, we kill this little bastard surnamed Ye! Back in Heavenly-Eyed Divine Lord's training cave abode, many from our Skyfire Valley were killed by this little wretch, including my Senior Brother. Today, we must have our revenge!"
A Seventh-Level Sovereign God blazing with rolling flames charged to a spot near Ye Yunfei from behind. Holding a steel pitchfork wreathed in raging flames, he carved a long fiery serpent through the air as he blasted towards Ye Yunfei.
"A mere character like you dares to speak of revenge against me? You think too highly of yourself." Ye Yunfei's voice was icy cold.
With a sweep of his hand, a thick sword radiance instantly materialized behind him. With a loud clang, the flaming pitchfork in the Seventh-Level Sovereign God's hands was sent flying backwards. Immediately after, the Sovereign God's soul body was subjected to a series of terrifying attacks.
Ye Yunfei's Mind Reading Art instantly plunged his consciousness into a state of confusion. Ye Yunfei reached out and grabbed, pulling the Seventh-Level Sovereign God's body back on the spot. He sealed and suppressed the enemy, then sent him into the Phantom Tower to be imprisoned.
"Too strong!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei subdue a Seventh-Level Sovereign God with a mere grasp, the surrounding beings all paled slightly in fear.
Especially the Sovereign Gods with relatively lower realms felt a profound dread towards Ye Yunfei.
To think that, while besieged by numerous Sovereign Gods, he could casually subdue a Seventh-Level Sovereign God… the combat power displayed was simply terrifying.
"Do not fear! Let's attack together. No matter what, we must kill this little beast today!" A white-haired old man bursting with rolling blade radiance strode through the air, his voice booming.
This was a Ninth Level Sovereign God from the Blade Realm. A Ninth Level Sovereign God was formidable to begin with, let alone one hailing from the Blade Realm.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Before the old man even made a move, the tyrannical blade radiance erupting from his body independently launched a furious assault on Ye Yunfei, like a torrential rain.
Then, an even thicker blade radiance slashed out from his body, tearing through space. It transformed into a ten-thousand-foot blade ray, carving a deep spatial rift in the space between him and Ye Yunfei and instantly arriving right above Ye Yunfei's head.
Ye Yunfei, holding his sword, casually raised it to block. A massive sword radiance instantly appeared.
*Clang!*
The sword radiance and blade radiance collided. Infinite sword energy and blade energy instantly radiated outwards, forcing the other Sovereign Gods in the vicinity to retreat with grim expressions.
The clash between Ye Yunfei and this Blade Realm elder was a battle at the Ninth Level Sovereign God tier. The combat energy released was not something lower-realm Sovereign Gods could withstand.
"This brat's combat power is utterly monstrous. He can actually withstand the attack of a Ninth Level Sovereign God head-on. It seems we must all attack together to deal with him."
Seeing Ye Yunfei withstand the Blade Realm elder's attack, the other Ninth Level Sovereign Gods present were somewhat shocked. One couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
Among the crowd besieging Ye Yunfei, there were a total of eight Ninth Level Sovereign Gods. Now, the other seven Ninth Level Sovereign Gods surged forward from different directions, joining forces to deal with Ye Yunfei.
"Little bastard surnamed Ye, when you were with the Hunyuan Sect army not long ago, we couldn't find an opportunity to deal with you. Now you're alone. How formidable can you be now? Even if you have earth-shattering abilities today, you will still die here!" one of the Ninth Level Sovereign Gods coldly declared.
"It seems these guys have had their eyes on you for a long time. But recently, you were leading the massive, formidable Hunyuan Sect army, so they waited for an opportunity. Now they've lured you here, set up a trap, and launched this siege. This was premeditated."
Hearing the Ninth Level Sovereign God's words, Hun Lao couldn't help but speak.
"Ye Yunfei, I admit you are truly a monstrous talent, rarely seen in this world. But you are far too arrogant! You have made too many enemies and are destined for a bad end!" another Ninth Level Sovereign God stated coldly.
"When it comes to making enemies, I believe I can't compare to you Blood Bandits, can I?" Ye Yunfei swept a cold glance towards the speaking Ninth Level Sovereign God, instantly recognizing he was likely from the Blood Bandits.
"There's no need to waste words with this little beast. Let's just kill him. Our Guardian Faction suffered heavy losses in the Fourth Void because of him. We were even forced to flee that Void. It's a deep grisson sea of hatred—today, we will take revenge!"
Yet another Ninth Level Sovereign God spoke coldly.
"To think there's also a Ninth Level Sovereign God from the Guardian Faction here." Ye Yunfei looked at the speaking Sovereign God, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
At this moment, the eight Ninth Level Sovereign Gods, along with hundreds of other Greater Sovereign Gods of varying levels, surged forward like wolves and tigers, launching a frenzied onslaught against Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei held his sword in his right hand and swung his fist with his left, while simultaneously employing Soul Force Martial Arts and Mental Force techniques, constantly defending against the dense barrage of attacks crashing towards him from all sides.
Moreover, apart from these hundreds of Greater Sovereign Gods, more kept emerging from the surroundings.
This time, the major powers had dispatched a considerable number of Greater Sovereign Gods to deal with Ye Yunfei. Besides the eight Ninth Level Sovereign Gods, there were several dozen Eighth Level ones.
With so many Greater Sovereign Gods gathered here, only a Chaos God would be able to handle them all.
"Little bastard Ye Yunfei! I admit you are truly strong. But today, this place is certain death for you! No matter how strong or fierce you are, you cannot escape your doom!"
An elderly Blade Realm powerhouse held a long blade and with one slash, shattered the space above Ye Yunfei's head. A thick blade radiance chopped towards Ye Yunfei's skull.
"Let's try to coordinate our attacks! That way, every move we make combines the force of all of us against him. It will be much more effective," someone shouted.
"To think so many Greater Sovereign Gods have been sent by these major powers just to deal with you. It seems they all regard you very highly! Besides these Greater Sovereign Gods, there are also numerous formations arrayed throughout the surrounding space. Those formations are likely meant to prevent your escape," Hun Lao couldn't help but remark.
"Do you truly think having superior numbers makes a difference?" Ye Yunfei cast a sweeping glance at the host of murderous Greater Sovereign Gods surrounding him, a cold sneer on his lips as he uttered these words.
