"So, from now on, regarding this Sword Heart of mine, I only need to focus on it and comprehend it," Ye Yunfei nodded in response.
"Exactly, that is precisely my meaning," Sword Elder affirmed Ye Yunfei's understanding.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
Ye Yunfei continuously slashed with the longsword in his hand, and during his execution of swordsmanship, he was allowing that Sword Heart to take the reins of his sword techniques.
In fact, this Sword Heart had long become a part of Ye Yunfei's body, even his will. Previously, it had merely lain dormant deep within his body without moving. Now that it had been poured into the longsword, it began to unleash its true might.
"This brat's swordsmanship has actually reached such a level!"
The four Ninth Heaven Godkings from the Blade Realm felt every slash launched by Ye Yunfei, sensing the formidable sword energy and sword intent contained within. Their expressions turned incredibly sour.
Though Ye Yunfei was merely a junior in their eyes, the power of the swordsmanship he displayed was actually not much weaker than their own saber techniques.
Adding to that were the raging winds all around and the suppression from the five Gravity Spheres, Ye Yunfei's deployment of various high-level Soul Force Martial Arts and Heart Force Martial Skills, coupled with his formless and traceless movement technique, meant that despite their utmost efforts, the four blade cultivators, after fighting for so long, couldn't harm a single hair on Ye Yunfei. Instead, they were being forced back repeatedly by him.
The situation was the same for the other four Ninth Heaven Godkings.
"Damn it, in an environment like this, we simply can't bring forth our true combat strength!"
At this moment, these eight Ninth Heaven Godkings all felt utterly frustrated and humiliated.
"Ye Yunfei, you little bastard, take this slash of mine!"
The more the blue-robed middle-aged man fought, the more frustrated he became. His inner rage soared wildly. With a roar, raging flames erupted from his body, and at the same time, he swallowed a white Divine Pill into his stomach.
Rumble…
A surge of sword energy instantly burst from his body—he had begun burning his origin essence blood. That white pill just now was also a special Divine Pill used to overdraft potential for a temporary boost.
Immediately, his combat strength skyrocketed. Gripping his saber with both hands, he unleashed a slash towards Ye Yunfei. In an instant, a blade aura that traversed the vast void shot out, with saber energy surging like a vast ocean, shaking the endless void.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was simultaneously practicing his saber techniques while comprehending that Sword Heart, and he was just getting into the rhythm of the fight. He did not dodge or evade, instead executing the Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art and delivering a slash of his own. Majestic sword energy surged and boiled, flooding the surrounding space.
Clang!
The sword radiance collided with the blade aura. The two terrifying energies clashed, erupting in a series of deafening booms that shook space for tens of thousands of miles.
The terrifying sonic waves made everyone's eardrums ache. The invisible sound waves made each person feel as if they were facing a colossal tidal wave.
"How is this possible?!
I even overdrafted my potential for a temporary boost to unleash that slash, yet he can still withstand it head-on?
Has this kid's sword cultivation level truly reached such a realm?"
The blue-robed middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. He knew he had struck with his full might, even overdrawing his potential. Yet, Ye Yunfei had squarely blocked it without retreating a single step.
This indicated that the power of the swordsmanship Ye Yunfei was currently displaying was, at the very least, not inferior to his own, and likely even stronger.
"Everyone, it seems we are no match for this kid. He is simply too powerful!"
The fighting spirit in the blue-robed middle-aged man's heart instantly diminished greatly, and he sobered up. After all, in this environment of raging winds and omnipresent gravity energy, merely trying to clearly see Ye Yunfei's figure was somewhat difficult for them, these eight Ninth Heaven Godkings.
Facing a single junior like Ye Yunfei, they, eight Ninth Heaven Godkings, had all exerted their full strength up to now, yet still could not gain the slightest advantage. This spoke volumes about the situation.
"These eight fellows are thinking of fleeing."
Throughout the battle, Ye Yunfei had been continuously employing the Mind Reading Art to read the thoughts and intentions of those eight Ninth Heaven Godkings. He clearly sensed that they had all begun to harbor thoughts of retreat.
"Forget it, our operation this time is destined to fail.
Let's go. Continuing to fight likely won't allow us to get the better of this kid anyway.
Had I known earlier, I should have brought a Chaos God-Grade Treasure."
One of the Ninth Heaven Godkings from the Blade Realm sighed.
"Thinking of escaping?
Not so easy," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
As soon as Ye Yunfei's words fell, the colossal tornadoes surrounding them grew even more frenzied. Each whirlwind spun with increased ferocity, madly smashing into the eight Ninth Heaven Godkings.
Ye Yunfei's speed also increased, his figure shifting locations with shocking rapidity, slashing out numerous thick beams of sword radiance with each appearance.
Ye Yunfei felt that the Sword Heart within his longsword had grown even more active. It was actually autonomously absorbing the energy from the surrounding heaven and earth and converting it into sword energy.
"I didn't realize the Sword Heart had this function as well!"
Perceiving his Sword Heart continuously absorbing various energies from the surroundings and automatically converting them into sword energy, Ye Yunfei was elated and immediately told Sword Elder.
"This is one of the functions of the Sword Heart. When your Sword Heart cultivation succeeds, everything in the world can be transformed into a sword, truly achieving the realm of having no sword in hand, but a sword in the heart," Sword Elder couldn't help but say with gratification as he saw Ye Yunfei gaining more and more comprehension of the Sword Heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The power and speed of the sword radiance Ye Yunfei unleashed grew stronger and faster.
"Damn it, why do I feel like this kid is using us to practice his swordsmanship?
The power of these sword radiances he's slashing out is getting increasingly strong. I'm actually starting to find it a bit difficult to block them," one of the Ninth Heaven Godkings exclaimed in surprise.
"Indeed. He is exactly using us to practice his swords!"
An elderly man from the Blade Realm said with a gloomy expression.
Hearing this, the other Ninth Heaven Godkings also wore extremely ugly expressions. They, dignified Ninth Heaven Godkings—eight of them—were actually being treated as practice targets by a junior. If this got out, they wouldn't know where to hide their faces.
"Enough. Let us leave."
At this point, these eight Ninth Heaven Godkings finally understood that continuing to fight held no meaning. Because now, it wasn't them besieging Ye Yunfei; it had completely turned into Ye Yunfei alone besieging the eight of them. Moreover, he was forcing them back repeatedly, leaving them with little room to fight back.
Sensing their desire to flee, Ye Yunfei immediately deployed several Soul Force Martial Arts and Heart Force Martial Skills, launching an assault into the Soul Sea of one of the Ninth Heaven Godkings.
This Ninth Heaven Godking's Soul Body simultaneously suffered attacks from the Mind Reading Art, Soul Weapon Art, Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art, and the Heart Sword. His figure stiffened, while dozens of tornadoes all around violently slammed towards him.
Crack!
Before this Ninth Heaven Godking could even react, Ye Yunfei had already slashed with his sword, cleaving the opponent's body in two.
"I was merely using you all to practice my swordsmanship earlier. Did you truly believe you could withstand me for so long?"
Ye Yunfei's words were icy as he cleaved that Ninth Heaven Godking in two with his sword.
"Brat! Don't you dare harm my old friend!"
An old man stepped on the void behind Ye Yunfei, mustering all his strength to throw a punch at Ye Yunfei's back. Raging fist force transformed into a roaring, tens-of-thousands-of-meters-long dragon that clawed its way toward Ye Yunfei.
However, while attacking, this old man was also stepping backward, quickly trying to distance himself from Ye Yunfei.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The Ninth Heaven Godkings from the Blade Realm also attacked simultaneously. Each one slashed out a thick blade aura. Each blade aura condensed their lifetime's worth of blade cultivation attainment and was rapidly expanding.
Four massive blade auras stood like pillars holding up the heavens, majestically tearing through the sky and instantly arriving beside Ye Yunfei.
The remaining two or three Ninth Heaven Godkings also attacked with their full strength at this moment.
One of the Ninth Heaven Godkings immediately pulled out a dozen or so talismans of different colors.
These dozen-plus talismans activated simultaneously, unleashing various attacks of different attributes.
With one glance, Ye Yunfei recognized that these talismans all originated from the Talisman Sacred Land, and the energy erupting from each talisman was equivalent to the level of a Ninth Heaven Godking.
"Long Sabers, Merge!"
The four Ninth Heaven Godkings from the Blade Realm exchanged glances, then simultaneously tossed their long sabers forward. Instantly, the four sabers merged into one, transforming into a single saber with an even more terrifying aura.
Then, the eight Ninth Heaven Godkings retreated together, stepping onto that massive saber.
"Stay here!"
With a roar, Ye Yunfei gripped his sword with both hands and slashed forward, coordinating with various Soul Force Martial Arts and Heart Force Martial Skills. In an instant, he simultaneously assaulted the Soul Seas and Soul Bodies of those eight Ninth Heaven Godkings.
Particularly the over 2,700 Soul Weapons condensed by the Soul Weapon Art wreaked havoc within the Soul Seas of those eight Ninth Heaven Godkings, making them feel immense pressure.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
That Ninth Heaven Godking who had thrown out a dozen-plus talismans earlier now produced another dozen-plus talismans in his hand.
"These are all my remaining stock.
Ye brat, you've made me use up all the high-grade talismans I bought from the Talisman Sacred Land. I will settle this account with you!"
This Ninth Heaven Godking threw out all the talismans in his hand. Once activated, each talisman erupted with the energy pressure of a Ninth Heaven Godking. Over a dozen talismans simultaneously blasted towards Ye Yunfei.
"Let's attack together to block this kid's assault."
The other Ninth Heaven Godkings also knew Ye Yunfei wouldn't let them leave easily. One by one, they began burning their origin essence blood. Raging flames erupted from their bodies, and the energy auras they exuded also began to rise continuously. Each unleashed their most powerful killing moves, coordinating their attacks against Ye Yunfei.
Boom!
The next moment, that long saber pierced through the void carrying the eight Ninth Heaven Godkings, instantly arriving in the void far in the distance.
