"Youngster surnamed Ye, facing death yet still boasting shamelessly. Just resign yourself to your fate!"
A green-robed elder shouted loudly and struck out with a palm towards Ye Yunfei. A massive hand continuously enlarged, the entire palm seemingly carved from azure jade, appearing incomparably solid.
Boom!
A gargantuan fist punched over from another direction, continuously expanding. The owner of this fist was a Ninth Heaven Godking.
Clatter, clatter...
Dozens of pitch-black chains suddenly manifested in the space around Ye Yunfei. Each chain radiated dense, Yin-cold energy. For a moment, an eerie ghostly aura filled the air amidst howling Yin winds.
"Sovereign Gods from the Great Netherworld are here too!" Hun Lao couldn't help remarking upon seeing those pitch-black chains.
"Come then, come all. Let's see if your numbers are truly useful." Although besieged by so many Greater Sovereign Gods, Ye Yunfei showed not a trace of panic. Instead, with a hint of disdain, he spoke.
As his words fell, Ye Yunfei began executing the Wind Demon God's techniques and secret arts. Empowered by the Wind Pearl and the Great Wind Stele's energies, he began conjuring a fierce gale.
Rumble...
Instantly, vast quantities of howling winds and whirlwinds sprang to life in the space surrounding Ye Yunfei. Tens of thousands of invisible wind blades, carrying terrifying wind energy and laws of wind, whistled forth, slashing out in a single moment to attack all the Greater Sovereign Gods simultaneously.
Whirlwinds massive enough to touch the heavens arose with earth-shaking momentum, spinning violently and immediately sweeping many of the lower-level Greater Sovereign Gods into their embrace.
The clothes on these engulfed Greater Sovereign Gods were instantly stripped away, followed by their flesh-and-blood bodies being ceaselessly hacked and sliced by the dense swarm of invisible wind blades, leaving numerous bloody gashes. Rustling sounds of fresh blood continuously spurted from their bodies, painting a pitiful sight.
"Everyone, be careful! It's said the winds this youngster summons are incredibly powerful!"
Since Ye Yunfei had displayed the Wind Demon God's techniques several times before, some Greater Sovereign Gods had already heard of his proficiency in conjuring these storms. They immediately shouted warnings to their allies.
"Since you dare to ambush me here, be prepared to pay the price!" Ye Yunfei looked coldly at the Greater Sovereign Gods trapped within the raging gale and sneered.
With those words, Ye Yunfei waved a hand, casting out all five Gravity Spheres.
Boom, boom, boom...
All five Gravity Spheres erupted simultaneously, unleashing mighty torrents of gravity energy. Instantly, a large group of Greater Sovereign Gods were suppressed.
Ye Yunfei's five Gravity Spheres could exert significant influence over Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods, making their movements difficult.
However, their impact on Eighth Level and Ninth Heaven Godkings was comparatively much smaller, and the effect was lesser still.
Nevertheless, under the combined effects of the Gravity Spheres and the gale, the movements of those Eighth Level Sovereign Gods and Ninth Heaven Godkings were also significantly hindered.
Ye Yunfei, however, was different. Within the range of this ferocious gale, the area became entirely his domain. His movement speed received a substantial boost amidst these winds.
Under the dual suppression of the five Gravity Spheres and the raging gale, every Greater Sovereign God besieging Ye Yunfei now felt the immense force of this oppressive energy.
This was especially true for the Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods and those of lower realms; moving their bodies became almost impossible, let alone continuing to besiege Ye Yunfei.
Some Fifth and Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods stood there, faces flushed red with strain, then fell to their knees with a thud.
The Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods also felt tremendous pressure, as if countless invisible divine mountains were rumbling down upon their heads.
Even the Eighth and Ninth Heaven Godkings paled.
Originally, hundreds of Greater Sovereign Gods were besieging Ye Yunfei. Instantly, two-thirds were suppressed, rendered powerless to attack. The remaining Eighth Level and Ninth Heaven Godkings also grew apprehensive one by one.
"Now it's my turn." Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh, then took a step forward. Propelled by the raging gale, he vanished instantly.
"Not good! I can't sense his form anymore!"
In that instant, many of the surrounding Greater Sovereign Gods inwardly cried out in dismay, discovering they could no longer perceive Ye Yunfei's location.
When Ye Yunfei reappeared, he stood beside several Fifth and Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
Reaching out with an enlarging hand, he forcibly seized five of these Fifth and Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods, grasping them in his palm.
Suppressed by the dual force of the Gravity Spheres and the gale, kneeling amidst the howling winds, these five Greater Sovereign Gods couldn't move an inch, let alone resist.
Ye Yunfei suppressed and sealed all five of them, then imprisoned them within the Phantom Tower.
Swoosh! His figure flashed and vanished once more.
Even the eight Ninth Heaven Godkings could now only barely glimpse afterimages Ye Yunfei left behind. They couldn't accurately pinpoint his specific location, thus making targeting him for an attack out of the question.
When Ye Yunfei appeared again, he casually scooped up another five or six Greater Sovereign Gods.
His strategy followed the principle of targeting the weak first. He began by seizing those Fifth and Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods.
By now, all the Fifth and Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods in the surrounding space were immobilized. In front of Ye Yunfei, they were like lambs awaiting slaughter, with no power to resist.
"Not good! To think this little bastard's strength and methods are even greater than we imagined!"
Watching Ye Yunfei continuously capture batches of their companions amidst the roaring gale, all the Greater Sovereign Gods paled, thoughts of dismay swirling in their hearts.
Originally, these hundreds of Greater Sovereign Gods, gathered here to ambush Ye Yunfei, had been brimming with confidence. After all, with their formation, unless a Chaos God arrived, no Sovereign God in the world should have been able to cope.
But now, after Ye Yunfei deployed his two trump cards—the five Gravity Spheres and that terrifying gale—their offensive momentum instantly collapsed.
Amidst the roaring gale, Ye Yunfei truly became a phantom, arriving and departing without a trace. Even the eight Ninth Heaven Godkings couldn't capture his form.
Ye Yunfei acted continuously within the ferocious winds. Each appearance saw him seize several Greater Sovereign Gods, suppress them, and imprison them within the Phantom Tower.
Moments later, all the Fifth and Sixth-Level Sovereign Gods had been captured by Ye Yunfei.
"Now it's your turn."
Ye Yunfei's figure suddenly materialized beside a Seventh-Level Sovereign God. His voice cold, he spoke, then reached out to grab.
"Master, save me!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei appear like a ghost beside him, this Seventh-Level Sovereign God was scared out of his wits.
By now, he understood he was absolutely no match for Ye Yunfei. In his terror, he immediately cried out for help.
Boom, boom, boom...
Simultaneously, thick beams of saber light continuously erupted from his body, attacking Ye Yunfei. Clearly, this Seventh-Level Sovereign God hailed from the Blade Realm.
"No one can save you now."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh, directly employing Mind Reading Art and Heart Sword. With a casual grab, he seized this blade cultivator, suppressed and sealed him, then threw him into the Phantom Tower.
"Little bastard Ye Yunfei, release my disciple at once!"
A Ninth Heaven Godking from the Blade Realm saw Ye Yunfei had captured his disciple. Shocked and furious, he soared up, charging towards Ye Yunfei.
Being a Ninth Heaven Godking, despite the dual suppression of the Gravity Spheres and the gale, he still retained some ability to move within the raging winds.
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger. Over twenty whirlwinds simultaneously spun at high speed, blasting toward this Blade Realm Ninth Heaven Godking. Then, taking a step, his figure vanished instantly.
By the time that Blade Realm Ninth Heaven Godking broke through the siege of over twenty whirlwinds and arrived at Ye Yunfei's previous location, Ye Yunfei had long since disappeared, reappearing at another distant point.
And he just so happened to appear behind a different Seventh-Level Sovereign God.
Poorly for this Seventh-Level Sovereign God, he couldn't perceive Ye Yunfei's arrival. It was only when Ye Yunfei reached out a hand, lifted him bodily by the scruff, that he suddenly realized Ye Yunfei had already arrived behind him.
"Elder Gong, save me quickly!"
Immobilized in Ye Yunfei's grasp, this Seventh-Level Sovereign God cried out in terror.
"Release my Skyfire Valley person at once!"
A red-haired elder blazed with towering fury, mustering all his strength to charge at Ye Yunfei. In his hand was a red steel trident, emitting billowing flames.
However, he was merely an Eighth Level Sovereign God. Suppressed by the Gravity Spheres and gale, his actions were much slower than usual.
By the time he arrived, Ye Yunfei had long since changed position, appearing somewhere far away.
Within the range of these winds, even Ninth Heaven Godkings couldn't keep up with Ye Yunfei's speed, let alone an Eighth Level Sovereign God.
Ye Yunfei's figure flickered continuously. In mere moments, he had seized all the remaining Seventh-Level Sovereign Gods.
Thus, the majority of the several hundred Greater Sovereign Gods had been captured by Ye Yunfei and imprisoned within the Phantom Tower, leaving only those Eighth Level Sovereign Gods and Ninth Heaven Godkings.
There were eight Ninth Heaven Godkings in total, and several dozen Eighth Level Sovereign Gods.
Hundreds of Greater Sovereign Gods had surrounded Ye Yunfei. Now, only a few dozen remained. The space became noticeably more spacious.
"How can this be? How can that youngster surnamed Ye be this monstrous? Is he truly invincible at the Sovereign God level? Can only a Chaos God deal with him? Since when did the world produce such a youthful monstrosity?"
A Ninth Heaven Godking looked at Ye Yunfei with an extremely unpleasant expression, sighing in wonder.
"Damned! The Sword Realm actually has such a monstrous inheritor! It seems there isn't a single young genius in our Blade Realm who can compare to him! To think the already-fallen Sword Realm could nurture such an exceptional inheritor. Does this foretell their destiny isn't yet exhausted?"
A Ninth Heaven Godking from the Blade Realm watched Ye Yunfei with a complicated gaze, secretly sighing.
"Now it's your turn."
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to an Eighth Level Sovereign God. He spoke.
As his words fell, Ye Yunfei unleashed Heart Sword, Soul Weapon Great Technique, Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art, and Mind Reading Art, simultaneously attacking this Eighth Level Sovereign God's Soul Body.
Already strained under the suppression of Gravity Spheres and gale, this Eighth Level Sovereign God was now simultaneously subjected to such fearsome mental force and Soul Power martial techniques, adding insult to injury, making him even less capable.
Boom! Ye Yunfei strode forward, swinging a punch. Mighty physical power poured forth, transforming into a giant fist seal that rumbled forward like a divine mountain.
In less than one move, this Eighth Level Sovereign God was overwhelmed.
Boom! Ye Yunfei struck out with his other fist. The phantom of an ancient emperor instantly manifested behind Ye Yunfei, accompanying him as they both punched forward.
One of these two punches employed the Great Strength Demon God's legacy, the other the Golden Wheel Imperial Dynasty's inheritance. Both were fist techniques that had once shaken the Chaotic Void Sea in ancient times. Simultaneously deployed by Ye Yunfei now, their power was utterly terrifying.
Bang! That Eighth Level Sovereign God simply couldn't withstand so many fearsome attacks. Struck by Ye Yunfei's fist, he was sent flying, instantly grievously wounded.
