A few Intermediate Chaos Gods—whether you kill them or not makes little difference.
"I just counted; the number of Chaos Gods you slew in this battle exceeds fifty! In total, five Advanced Chaos Gods, and one of them has already fled. The escaping Advanced Chaos God is from the Rune Sanctuary. When he saw the situation turning against him, he immediately threw out his robe. A huge amount of strange runes spread from it, and then he vanished from sight. I suspect that robe possesses extremely profound laws of time and space, allowing him to escape," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"No, there's another Advanced Chaos God who escaped as well," Ye Yunfei said, looking towards the distant void.
"It's Zhou Duantian. That fellow didn't even dare to come forward and face you, Master. He stayed at the very back the whole time, and when he saw the situation turning sour, he immediately fled," Hu Miao said.
"That's right, Zhou Duantian also escaped. He knows about the Sword Enlightenment Stone's might, so he always stays at the very back," Hun Lao nodded.
"Young Master Ye, I never expected you to have concealed your true strength before. Young Master Ye, your power has far surpassed ours. Truly, the younger generation inspires awe!" At that moment, the Advanced Chaos God from the Hunyuan Sect approached, speaking loudly.
The other Chaos Gods from the Hunyuan Sect also gathered around, heaping praises on Ye Yunfei. Their gazes now held a trace of reverence when they looked at him, for the terrifying combat power Ye Yunfei had displayed was comparable to that of a Perfected Chaos God. In the First Void, a Perfected Chaos God was among the top-tier powerhouses.
"You all flatter me. I was merely fortunate," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"Young Master Ye not only possesses overwhelming strength but is also humble in character. You are a true dragon among men!" Seeing Ye Yunfei's modesty, the Hunyuan Sect Chaos Gods praised him even more fervently.
"Young Master Ye, the fighting on this battlefield has concluded. I am now preparing to lead our forces to the next battlefield," the Advanced Chaos God said.
"Senior, I plan to go into seclusion to cultivate for a while. It's not suitable for me to be with the main army right now because those major forces will certainly not let this go. They will continue to seek trouble with me," Ye Yunfei answered.
"Young Master Ye, you are right. Those major factions have lost so many Chaos Gods; they will definitely not easily give up. Next, they might send even more Chaos Gods or use various methods to deal with you. Young Master Ye, I suggest you go to our Hunyuan Sect headquarters immediately," upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Advanced Chaos God immediately realized that while Ye Yunfei had won this battle, he would surely face even more frenzied retaliation from those major factions. After all, they would not allow a monstrous talent like Ye Yunfei to exist.
"Rest assured, Senior. Wanting to kill me won't be easy for them," Ye Yunfei replied.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei perceived that the Sword Intent of the Heavenly Net Sword God within the longsword in his hand had indeed dissipated by almost half.
"The Heavenly Net Sword God's Sword Intent within this sword can only be used one more time. This is currently my most powerful trump card; I must not use it carelessly from now on," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"Young Master Ye, no matter what, I believe your safest course of action at present is to proceed to our Hunyuan Sect headquarters immediately. At our headquarters, several Perfected Chaos Gods are stationed personally. Furthermore, our Hunyuan Sect, having been passed down for such a long era, has its own foundational strength. Those fellows might not dare to come knocking on our door to make trouble for you," the Advanced Chaos God told Ye Yunfei.
"I thank you for your kind intentions, Senior. Rest assured, I have my own sense of measure. I will be careful," Ye Yunfei replied.
With that, Ye Yunfei said nothing more, turned, and left, disappearing into the distant void in an instant.
The Advanced Chaos God could only let out a soft sigh.
"Young Master Ye's strength is truly terrifying. I feel his power has reached the level of a Perfected Chaos God. Doesn't that mean that within the Chaotic Void Sea, no one can easily kill Young Master Ye anymore? So I think we don't need to worry about him," an Intermediate Chaos God said, watching Ye Yunfei's departing figure.
"No. I believe what Young Master Ye displayed earlier wasn't his true strength, but rather energy stored within that sword he holds. During his confrontation with that fellow from the Blood Bandits earlier, what we witnessed was likely his true combat power. The power he unleashed later came mostly from the sword in his hand. Moreover, I noticed that during the battle, while Young Master Ye was constantly slaying those Chaos Gods, the sword's energy was also continuously being consumed. This indicates that the energy stored within the sword can be depleted. I wonder how much remains? If not much is left, then Young Master Ye may not be able to display today's level of combat prowess going forward," the Advanced Chaos God shook his head and spoke.
As an Advanced Chaos God, his perception was keener and his experience broader.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Young Master Ye suddenly possessed such terrifying combat power. It seems it was indeed due to that sword in his hand," the surrounding Hunyuan Sect Chaos Gods all had a sudden realization.
"However, even without that sword, Young Master Ye's strength is still astonishing. Earlier, he alone fought against over a dozen Chaos Gods from the Blood Bandits. Such power alone is enough to astound us," one Chaos God said.
"Indeed, Young Master Ye is a true dragon among men. Moreover, the ultimate victory on our battlefield was also due to Young Master Ye's arrival. Without him, we'd probably still be on the battlefield, locked in a difficult struggle with those fellows from the Guardian Faction," another Chaos God spoke.
"Let's go. We head to the next battlefield. In the First Void, the war between our Hunyuan Sect and the Guardian Faction is currently at its most intense stage. We don't have much time for rest," the Advanced Chaos God said, then waved his hand, leading the large army as they proceeded majestically towards the next battlefield.
At that time, Ye Yunfei was already far from the battlefield. He had a Fourth Level Sovereign God slave carry the Phantom Tower to travel quickly while he himself entered the Phantom Tower to begin his secluded cultivation.
In the previous battle, Ye Yunfei had captured many Sovereign Gods from the Guardian Faction and then suppressed and sealed the Soul Bodies of dozens of Chaos Gods. Now, Ye Yunfei intended to devour all these Sovereign Gods and Chaos God Soul Bodies.
The siege by so many major factions' Chaos Gods had made Ye Yunfei feel pressured. If he hadn't previously obtained the Heavenly Net Sword God's personal sword, he would have been in big trouble today. And with the sword's Sword Intent only usable one last time, what Ye Yunfei most desired now was to rapidly increase his own strength.
While Ye Yunfei cultivated within the Phantom Tower, the outcome of that battle had already been reported back to the headquarters of the various major factions, immediately stirring up huge waves.
Within the headquarters of each major faction, distinct roars of fury could be heard.
"What?! How is this possible? So many Chaos Gods surrounding Ye Yunfei not only failed to kill him, but half of them were killed by him instead? What exactly is going on? A junior of only Seventh Level Sovereign God realm—how could he possibly be this strong?"
"In this battle, our Guardian Faction not only lost so many Sovereign Gods, but most of the Chaos Gods on that battlefield were killed by him. Only two escaped. This is a massive loss!" Within the Guardian Faction headquarters, a high-ranking Elder who received the news could not accept it. He slapped the table before him into pieces, roaring furiously.
Two Chaos Gods stood before this Elder, looking dejected, their faces still carrying a trace of terror, appearing quite disheveled. They were the ones who had just escaped from the recent battlefield. During the fighting, they happened to be positioned towards the rear and hadn't even had the chance to step forward when they saw Ye Yunfei unleash his divine might, slaughtering Chaos Gods one after another. These two Guardian Faction Chaos Gods were rather timid. Finding the situation amiss, they fled immediately, luckily escaping. After leading the battlefield's surviving remnants back to headquarters, they dared not conceal anything and immediately reported the situation truthfully.
"Elder Xiong, everything we say is true. Initially, many Chaos Gods from various major factions came together, surrounding that little beast Ye Yunfei completely. At that time, we all thought he couldn't escape death. But then he suddenly erupted with divine power, wielding a longsword, continuously cutting down one Chaos God after another. Even the Advanced Chaos Gods couldn't withstand a single move from him. That little beast's combat power is too bizarre. Knowing we were no match, we led the surviving troops from the battlefield to retreat," one of the Chaos Gods cautiously spoke.
He knew he couldn't lie before this Elder; he had to speak the truth. This Elder was too powerful, and moreover, had excellent relations with the divination masters at headquarters.
