The Sovereign Gods were all fleeing desperately, but their speed was far too slow for Ye Yunfei.
With each step he took, Ye Yunfei could accurately catch up to each Sovereign God, then seize them with a single grab.
"Damned be!
You little brat Ye Yunfei, you've come to provoke our Guardian Faction again!"
Suddenly, a roar of anger erupted from deep within this headquarters, followed by the explosive aura of formidable energy.
"That Ninth Heaven Godking has finally emerged from his meditation chamber."
Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei with a smile.
Ye Yunfei paid no heed, his figure flickering as he continued to pursue the remaining Sovereign Gods.
By now, six of the seven Eighth Level Sovereign Gods had already been captured by Ye Yunfei and imprisoned within the Phantom Tower, leaving only two desperately trying to escape.
Ye Yunfei fixed his sights on one of them, his figure flashing as he gave chase.
This Eighth Level Sovereign God couldn't even perceive the movement of Ye Yunfei's form. By the time he sensed something amiss, Ye Yunfei was already standing behind him, grabbing him in an instant.
"Prison Master, save me quickly!"
Shouting in terror, the Eighth Level Sovereign God cried out for help.
The Ninth Heaven Godking who had just charged out from the chamber was the Prison Master of this Seventh Void.
The Guardian Faction stationed a Prison Master in every void to oversee all affairs.
"Brat Ye Yunfei, release all our Guardian Faction members immediately, or I'll end you!"
That Ninth Heaven Godking pushed his movement technique to its limit as he charged towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei simply ignored him, his figure flashing again as he pursued the last Eighth Level Sovereign God.
"Prison Master, he is Ye Yunfei! This brat suddenly charged in and captured many of our Sovereign Gods!"
The last Eighth Level Sovereign God heard the Prison Master's furious roar and rejoiced. Having been fleeing for his life, he now stopped, turned, and shouted to the Prison Master.
But he soon sensed something wrong, as he felt Ye Yunfei seemed to be rushing toward him.
Although he couldn't lock onto Ye Yunfei's figure, a terrifying sense of crisis washed over him. The Eighth Level Sovereign God immediately turned and tried to flee again.
"Too late for escape."
A cold voice rang out behind him. Then, a palm radiating surging sword light grew and magnified, seizing his body in one swift motion before suppressing and sealing him.
An Eighth Level Sovereign God didn't even have a chance to struggle before Ye Yunfei.
"Halt! Release my people at once!"
The Prison Master watched helplessly as Ye Yunfei captured yet another Sovereign God. He was furious to the extreme, his entire body erupting with terrifying divine energy as he shot toward Ye Yunfei like a cannonball.
Yet Ye Yunfei still paid him no mind. With another step, he chased down another Sovereign God, seizing them.
From then on, Ye Yunfei continued pursuing the other Sovereign Gods of the Guardian Faction, grabbing them one by one before incarcerating them within the Phantom Tower.
The Prison Master desperately chased after Ye Yunfei from behind, trying to catch up and stop him, but Ye Yunfei's speed was far superior.
Despite his utmost efforts, he couldn't close the gap. So he could only watch, face-to-face, as Ye Yunfei captured Sovereign God after Sovereign God under his command, placing them into a spatial treasure.
After a short while, finally, every Sovereign God in this headquarters had been captured by Ye Yunfei.
"Brat, stop!"
The Prison Master had fallen completely into a frenzied state. Immense rage filled his entire being; he only wanted to catch up to Ye Yunfei immediately and fight him to the death.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei's footsteps halted. He stopped, slowly turned around, and cast a frigid gaze at the Prison Master. "Now it's your turn."
Ye Yunfei spoke coldly.
"You little brat, you..."
Meeting Ye Yunfei's icy stare, the Prison Master's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively slammed to a stop, his gaze now carrying a trace of wariness. He finally realized just how terrifying the power Ye Yunfei had displayed earlier truly was.
Grabbing a Sovereign God with one hand, capturing so many Sovereign Gods in a brief moment—even he, a Ninth Heaven Godking, might not necessarily achieve that.
"So the rumors are true. This brat's power is terrifying, a true monster. I need to be careful, lest I capsize in a gutter."
The Prison Master began to calm down at this point.
"Ye Yunfei, this is the territory of our Guardian Faction. You've barged in here, captured so many of my people. What do you intend to do?"
The Prison Master said in a low voice.
"Isn't my intention obvious?
I'm going to annihilate all of you."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, there was simply no need to waste words on a Ninth Heaven Godking.
"You're far too arrogant, kid! Do you truly disregard our Guardian Faction?"
The Prison Master's face darkened.
"Between me and your Guardian Faction, it's a fight to the death. Whether I regard you or not makes no difference, does it?"
Ye Yunfei's expression remained impassive.
After speaking, Ye Yunfei had no more desire to waste words on this Prison Master. With a thought, a black coffin shot forth, carrying terrifying dark-type energy, instantly slamming into the space before the Prison Master.
"Is this... a Chaos God-tier artifact?"
Sensing the dreadful energy emanating from the black coffin, the Prison Master's countenance changed drastically.
Though his strength was considerable, facing a Chaos God-tier artifact, he had no confidence in dealing with it. In panic, he could only turn and flee, but it was already too late.
With a loud boom, the coffin directly suppressed his body, causing him to collapse on the spot, incapable of moving.
Then, Ye Yunfei walked over, reached out, and seized the Prison Master.
Thus, a Ninth Heaven Godking was easily subdued by Ye Yunfei, with no opportunity for resistance.
"How is this possible?
You actually possess a Chaos God-tier artifact!
But you're merely a Fifth-Level Sovereign God. How can you refine and use a Chaos God-tier artifact?"
The Prison Master was both terrified and incredulous.
"Why bother with such questions when death is at hand?"
Ye Yunfei chuckled coldly, then fully suppressed and sealed the Prison Master before throwing him into the Phantom Tower.
And so, the strongest Prison Master within this headquarters had also been captured by Ye Yunfei.
Now, there wasn't a single Sovereign God left here. The remaining ordinary forces had already fled halfway, and those who hadn't yet escaped were hiding, peering out furtively from a distance as they observed Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, releasing all his puppet army. Then he began a cleansing operation within this headquarters, killing every member of the Guardian Faction he encountered.
Before long, within this headquarters, every member of the Guardian Faction had been slaughtered.
Not long ago, this Prison Master had led his troops back here, storming into what had become an Alliance Army outpost, killing all Alliance Army members, and reclaiming this place as the Guardian Faction headquarters once more.
Now, Ye Yunfei had returned, employing the same method to kill every Guardian Faction member here.
Before taking action, Ye Yunfei had his Clones notify the high-ranking members of the Alliance Army to come here for support.
Shortly afterward, several high-ranking officers of the Alliance Army, leading their troops, gathered their courage and charged inside, only to find mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere.
"Young Master Ye is over there!"
Then, those high-ranking officers sensed Ye Yunfei's aura. Delighted, they rushed over to pay their respects to Ye Yunfei.
Upon seeing Ye Yunfei, these officers understood that the Guardian Faction members had undoubtedly been killed by him.
Not long after, many more Alliance Army officers with their forces charged in from outside, approaching to pay homage to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, these are the weapon refinement materials you requested us to collect. Due to the rush, we only managed to gather a portion; more are still on the way."
One of the high-ranking officers presented a dozen or so spatial rings before Ye Yunfei.
When Ye Yunfei returned to this Seventh Void, he had already dispatched his Clones back to the Alliance Army headquarters to issue orders for the Alliance Army to collect weapon refinement materials for him.
Receiving Ye Yunfei's orders, the Alliance Army officers naturally dared not delay, immediately mobilizing all manpower and resources to begin gathering the materials Ye Yunfei required.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei took the spatial rings and nodded.
Then Ye Yunfei instructed the Alliance Army officers to lead their men in cleaning up the place.
From now on, this location would once again become an Alliance Army outpost.
As for Ye Yunfei, he found a quiet spot, entered the Phantom Tower, took out the weapon refinement materials, and began forging puppets.
"It's been a long time since I've studied the methods of crafting puppets. Currently, I can only forge Heavenly God-tier puppets. I wonder if I can forge Sovereign God-tier puppets in the future."
Ye Yunfei murmured softly.
"Forging Sovereign God-tier puppets requires both high-quality materials and advanced techniques. You probably aren't capable of forging Sovereign God-tier puppets at the moment.
Actually, if you have a sufficient number of Heavenly God-tier puppets, they can also play a significant role on the battlefield and assist you with various tasks in daily life."
Hun Lao said with a smile.
"When I have time, I need to properly study weapon forging to see if I can forge Sovereign God-tier puppets later."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Master, if you can forge Sovereign God-tier puppets in the future and craft millions, even tens of millions of them, that would be enough to sweep across the entire Chaotic Void Sea."
Hu Miao spoke up.
"Of course, having that many Sovereign God-tier puppets would allow you to sweep the entire Chaotic Void Sea, but the materials required, both in quantity and quality, would be terrifying.
Furthermore, forging Sovereign God-tier puppets demands a very high level of weapon forging skill.
I doubt there's a forger of that level in the entire Chaotic Void Sea right now."
Hun Lao said with a chuckle.
Not long after, more and more weapon refinement materials were continuously delivered to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei had issued orders for the Alliance Armies of several voids—the Eighth, Seventh, Sixth, and others—to collect refinement materials for him.
Ye Yunfei planned to forge an astonishing number of Heavenly God-tier puppets.
As the situation in the Chaotic Void Sea grew increasingly chaotic, with ancient powers surfacing one after another, a massive puppet army would significantly bolster his strength.
Gradually, the number of puppets Ye Yunfei forged grew larger and larger. Later, Ye Yunfei simply divided himself into dozens of Clones, each independently forging puppets.
