Ye Yunfei searched the Fifth Void for a while without results. He then left a batch of Clones behind to continue the search in the Fifth Void while he himself returned to the Sixth Void.
The situation in the Sixth Void recently had been similar to the Fifth Void. Several conflicts had also erupted between the two major forces, the Great Netherworld and the Reincarnation Sect. Moreover, the cause of these conflicts was also that the Reincarnation Sect's Reincarnation Passages had suddenly been ambushed by forces of the Great Netherworld.
"The Reincarnation Passages originally belong to the Reincarnation Sect's territory. Yet the Great Netherworld's forces repeatedly ambush and attack the passages, clearly aiming to seize territory from the Reincarnation Sect. The Great Netherworld is really pressing their advantage so aggressively. I feel that between these two great powers, the Great Netherworld has always held the superior position. Most battles have been initiated by sudden ambushes from the Great Netherworld, with the Reincarnation Sect forced on the defensive," Hun Lao couldn't help but speak up.
"That is indeed the case," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Could it mean the Great Netherworld's strength surpasses that of the Reincarnation Sect, hence their aggressive posture and dominant position?" the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm speculated.
"There must be reasons for this, and the Great Netherworld is definitely strong. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to provoke the Reincarnation Sect actively. As for how strong the ancient and mysterious Reincarnation Sect truly is, even I find it hard to gauge. Even in ancient times, the Reincarnation Sect was an exceedingly secretive power; outsiders could hardly ascertain its true depth. However, under normal circumstances, no one would dare to provoke them—except the Great Netherworld," Hun Lao said.
"Regardless of how powerful the Great Netherworld is, since they dared to lay hands on Elder Huang, I will certainly settle the score with them on his behalf," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
In the following period, Ye Yunfei began searching for forces belonging to either the Great Netherworld or the Underworld in the Sixth Void. Ye Yunfei dispatched a large number of Clones to comb the entire void, each going its separate way, while his main body executed his movement technique, traversing the Sixth Void with astonishing speed.
Ye Yunfei's current speed was far too fast now. Even Sovereign Gods would have difficulty discerning his form clearly. Other ordinary beings couldn't see him at all; even if he passed right before their eyes, they wouldn't sense a thing.
Ye Yunfei continuously moved in and out of one World Cluster after another. Every time he entered a World Cluster, he would release his Soul Power and Mental Power, thoroughly sensing the entire cluster.
After returning to the Sixth Void, Ye Yunfei did not contact the Hunyuan Sect or any members of the Alliance Army. He planned to deal with the Great Netherworld alone and did not wish to involve the Hunyuan Sect or the Alliance Army.
Because the Great Netherworld and the Underworld were too mysterious and troublesome. If the Hunyuan Sect and Alliance Army openly confronted the Great Netherworld alongside him, the Great Netherworld would certainly target them.
One day, Ye Yunfei had just emerged from a World Cluster and was preparing to head to the next one to investigate. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. He took out a communication jade slip from his person and sensed it, then a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
One of his Clones had just sent him a message.
"Forces of the Great Netherworld have finally appeared," Ye Yunfei declared.
Immediately, Ye Yunfei executed his movement technique and sped towards a certain direction.
The message from that Clone stated that in a certain world, forces of the Great Netherworld had suddenly emerged and were attacking a vast primitive forest. Moreover, from within that primitive forest, dense aura of samsara was radiating outwards.
Ye Yunfei knew it must be that the Great Netherworld's forces were attacking a Reincarnation Passage once more.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei arrived before a World Cluster. His Soul Power energy immediately swept inside.
"Sure enough, there are energy traces of the Great Netherworld here," Ye Yunfei's lips curled into a cold smile.
He then entered this World Cluster, arriving at an entrance to one of its worlds. Standing here, Ye Yunfei could sense an even more concentrated energy aura of the Great Netherworld. Besides that, he also detected the presence of samsara energy emanating from within this world.
"It seems there truly is a Reincarnation Passage inside," Hun Lao spoke up.
Ye Yunfei strode toward the world's entrance.
"Halt! This world is temporarily sealed. No beings are permitted to enter or leave!" Just as Ye Yunfei intended to enter, dozens of black silhouettes emitting sinister energy auras appeared ahead. Each shadow looked eerie and brimming with an aura of death.
Because Ye Yunfei paused at this location, revealing his figure, he had been detected. If he had flashed past using his movement technique, it would have been impossible to spot him.
With a thought, an intensely frigid energy aura instantly erupted from within Ye Yunfei's body, causing the temperature of the surrounding space to plummet drastically.
"So... it's a senior from our Great Netherworld who has arrived!" The several dozen blocking silhouettes were startled. Only renowned powerhouses within the Great Netherworld could possess such terrifying energy auras.
"Senior, spare us!" The dozens of silhouettes found that their bodies were now incapable of movement. The frigid energy Ye Yunfei released was far too terrifying, completely suppressing them in place.
Ye Yunfei reached out with his hand, his palm enlarging continuously, and instantly captured all these members of the Great Netherworld, suppressing and sealing them, then incarcerating them within the Phantom Tower.
These ordinary-strength members of the Great Netherworld held little use for Ye Yunfei himself, but since they cultivated dark-type energies, once he found Huang Shang, he could hand them over for processing.
Ye Yunfei then entered that world. The entire world had already begun turning gloomy and sinister; forces of the Great Netherworld were everywhere.
"It seems the Great Netherworld has indeed dispatched people to completely seal off this world. There is a Reincarnation Passage inside this world. The Great Netherworld wants to occupy this place outright, seizing territory from the Reincarnation Sect," Hun Lao remarked.
Ye Yunfei strode towards a certain direction within this world, where a vast primitive forest lay. Surrounding that primitive forest was a massive concentration of Great Netherworld forces; the forest was already tightly encircled.
How fast was Ye Yunfei's speed? As he unfurled his movement technique, moments later he had already entered the primitive forest.
Those Great Netherworld forces encircling the area couldn't see Ye Yunfei's figure at all, nor could they sense his aura.
Ye Yunfei arrived at the central area of the primitive forest and, sure enough, saw a dark, yawning cave entrance deep within a valley. That entrance was the gateway to a Reincarnation Passage. Dense samsara energy was endlessly pouring out from within, shrouding the entire valley in a thick layer of white mist.
A fierce battle was currently underway in the valley and its surroundings. The combatants were precisely forces from the Reincarnation Sect and the Great Netherworld.
Ye Yunfei glanced over and discovered that the strongest individuals on the Great Netherworld side were several Eighth Level Sovereign Gods. Considering the Sixth Void's overall relatively weaker strength, the Great Netherworld dispatching several Eighth Level Sovereign Gods here showed they placed considerable importance on it.
Without superfluous words, Ye Yunfei's figure flashed, directly appearing behind an Eighth Level Sovereign God of the Great Netherworld. Then he extended his palm, which continuously enlarged, grabbing this Eighth Level Sovereign God into his grasp.
"Who dares?!" This Great Netherworld's Eighth Level Sovereign God had originally been directing the battle, leading a large group of Sovereign Gods in besieging their Reincarnation Sect counterparts. Commanding the situation and wearing a cold sneer, he believed victory in this battle was assured. Who would have guessed that in the next moment, he would be grabbed by a single hand and held within a palm? Shocked and furious to the extreme, he roared.
Ye Yunfei directly suppressed, sealed, and then imprisoned this Eighth Level Sovereign God inside the Phantom Tower. Then, with his great hand stretched out, he reached for another Eighth Level Sovereign God nearby.
By this time, that other Eighth Level Sovereign God had grown alert. Swirling around abruptly, he looked towards Ye Yunfei.
"You're seeking death!" With a furious bellow, a black iron chain appeared in his hand, and he lashed it towards Ye Yunfei like a black dragon baring its claws and fangs. Ye Yunfei extended his other hand, grabbing hold of the black chain, then seized this Great Netherworld Eighth Level Sovereign God within his palm.
From Ye Yunfei's palm surged vast and mighty Sword Dao energy, transforming into countless radiant sword lights that suppressed the Eighth Level Sovereign God, rendering him immobile and utterly incapable of resistance.
Thus, within less than a single breath after his arrival, Ye Yunfei had sequentially captured two Great Netherworld Eighth Level Sovereign Gods.
This scene left the remaining Sovereign Gods dumbstruck and unable to believe their eyes. Instantly, all battles in the vicinity ceased. Sovereign Gods from both sides all looked towards Ye Yunfei.
After capturing the second Eighth Level Sovereign God, Ye Yunfei did not stop. His figure flickered again, appearing right in front of a third Great Netherworld Eighth Level Sovereign God. Ye Yunfei's movement technique was simply too fast; this Eighth Level Sovereign God couldn't make out how Ye Yunfei had reached him. While he panicked and tried to retreat, Ye Yunfei's great hand stretched out, seized him directly, and immediately suppressed and sealed him.
"It's Ye Yunfei! He is Ye Yunfei!" The two remaining Eighth Level Sovereign Gods of the Great Netherworld glared at Ye Yunfei with fury, and then one among them recognized Ye Yunfei's identity, shouting aloud.
"So it is Young Master Ye!" Now, the gazes of the other nearby Reincarnation Sect Sovereign Gods also converged upon Ye Yunfei. Quickly, they too recognized Ye Yunfei, their faces showing pleasant surprise.
"That's right, I am Ye Yunfei." Ye Yunfei took a single step and arrived before that Great Netherworld Eighth Level Sovereign God who had shouted out his identity. Then he reached out and grabbed, his palm endlessly enlarging and erupting with a torrent of sword light. In an instant, he seized that Eighth Level Sovereign God who had exposed his identity, holding him up like a helpless chick.
