The vast Otherworldly Army marched out from the Western Sea, beginning their campaign to conquer the Tianxuan Continent.
This Otherworldly Army was too powerful.
Not only was their number immense, but they also possessed over two hundred Grotto-Heaven Realm experts. Wherever they passed, they overwhelmed everything like breaking dry weeds; the martial artists of Tianxuan Continent simply couldn't resist.
A day later, news of the Otherworldly Army's appearance spread throughout the entire Tianxuan Continent like lightning.
Soon, the news reached Hujie City.
"What?!"
Upon receiving the message, Lord Gu couldn't help but feel shock and fury.
"Feng Yundan, didn't you people say you had destroyed all the Teleportation Altars in the Western Sea!
How could an Otherworldly Army still walk out from there?!"
Lord Gu stared at the five Grotto-Heaven Realm experts and angrily demanded.
Previously, he had dispatched five Grotto-Heaven Realm experts to the Western Sea to track the revived Ancient Demon Race and prevent them from activating any Teleportation Altars.
Later, when Hujie City's situation became critical, those five experts had rushed back from the Western Sea to defend the city.
"Lord Gu, we indeed destroyed several dozen Teleportation Altars in the Western Sea at that time.
Moreover, we searched every single island throughout the entire Western Sea, confirming there were no altars left."
A grey-robed old man spoke up.
If Ye Yunfei were here, he would immediately recognize this grey-robed elder as Feng Yundan, who had once attacked and injured Ye Yunfei in the Western Sea.
"Humph!
You all are truly muddle-headed!
What if the Ancient Demon Race built the Teleportation Altar on the seabed?"
Lord Gu sneered coldly.
Hearing this, the five Grotto-Heaven Realm experts were momentarily speechless.
"Lord Gu, we rushed back as soon as we heard Hujie City was in peril.
We didn't conduct an extensive search of the seabed."
One of the Grotto-Heaven Realm experts answered in a low voice.
"I finally understand why the Ancient Demon Race's army suddenly came to attack Hujie City.
It was to divert our attention.
When all of Tianxuan Continent focused on defending Hujie City, we would inevitably neglect the Western Sea.
But it's too late to say anything now."
Lord Gu sighed.
"Pass down the order! Mobilize all forces to resist the Otherworldly Army!"
Lord Gu's expression turned stern as he proclaimed loudly.
Following Lord Gu's command, experts within Hujie City sprang into action, rushing to various parts of Tianxuan Continent to organize forces and resist the Otherworldly Army.
All across Tianxuan Continent, wars to resist the Otherworldly Army erupted.
A storm of blood and violence swept through the continent!
At this moment.
Within a certain area of confused, drifting space near Hujie City.
There was a speck of dust, floating aimlessly.
This speck of dust was the Phantom Tower.
Inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged.
Piled up like small mountains around his body were spirit stones, herbs, elixirs, and various other heavenly treasures.
The spiritual energy contained within these treasures was continuously extracted and absorbed into Ye Yunfei's body, mending his injuries.
This time, Ye Yunfei was severely wounded.
After all, the destructive power generated by the combined attacks of over seventy Grotto-Heaven Realm experts was truly terrifying.
Ye Yunfei's physical body had nearly been shattered.
For several consecutive months inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei quietly recuperated.
Simultaneously, the powerful regenerative ability of his Greenwood Emperor Body also played its part.
Approximately three months later.
Ye Yunfei's body recovered to its peak condition!
"It seems my strength is still not enough to command respect.
Right now, the most important thing for me is still to increase my power."
Recalling the experience of being besieged by dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm experts, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"Master, how is your body?"
At this moment, Hu Miao noticed Ye Yunfei had finished his recovery and quickly asked.
"My injuries have healed."
Ye Yunfei replied.
"Ye Yunfei, your physical constitution is truly formidable. To recover so quickly after being surrounded by so many Grotto-Heaven Realm experts."
Huang Shang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Ye Yunfei moved, stepping out from within the Phantom Tower.
"Fortunately, we are still within the Space Abyss."
Ye Yunfei discovered the Phantom Tower was still inside that Space Abyss.
"This place possesses dense spatial energy and laws, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
I shouldn't waste it."
Ye Yunfei immediately sat down cross-legged once more.
Boom...
A Roc materialized behind Ye Yunfei.
Then, this Roc began absorbing the spatial energy and spatial laws from this Space Abyss.
This Space Abyss was actually a breach in Tianxuan Continent's boundary wall, connected to the continent's entire barrier.
Therefore, it held nearly inexhaustible spatial energy and laws.
Whoosh…
Massive amounts of spatial energy and laws from all around continuously converged towards Ye Yunfei, being sucked into the mouth of the Roc behind him.
Gradually, the Roc's colossal form became more and more solid, more and more distinct.
Time slowly flowed by.
Unconsciously, half a month passed.
By now, the Roc's form was completely solidified, emitting a profound and mysterious spatial aura.
Its enormous pair of wings brimmed with terrifying energy capable of tearing space at any moment.
"I never thought that, among the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel, the one with the greatest power so far would be the Roc."
Ye Yunfei suddenly murmured to himself.
Because this Space Abyss contained vast amounts of spatial energy and laws, over this half-month, Ye Yunfei had cultivated the Roc Divine Beast to an extremely high realm.
"After these two weeks, I've accumulated so much spatial energy within my body.
I should now be able to preliminarily perform some spatial-related divine abilities."
Ye Yunfei said to himself.
"Even without relying on the Heavenly Shadow Robe, I should be able to briefly traverse space now."
Ye Yunfei stood up and took a step forward.
A powerful surge of spatial energy rippled from Ye Yunfei's body, causing a small patch of space ahead to tremble and shake.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei's figure suddenly pierced into that small patch of space and disappeared.
A few breaths later.
Ye Yunfei's figure reappeared not far away.
Next, Ye Yunfei repeatedly attempted to traverse space.
This time, Ye Yunfei traversed space not by utilizing the Heavenly Shadow Robe, but purely through his own spatial cultivation!
Using the Heavenly Shadow Robe to traverse space required an activation process.
However, relying on his own spatial cultivation to traverse space was much faster and afforded greater freedom.
"Very good."
After several successful attempts, Ye Yunfei felt quite satisfied.
Just at this moment.
"Huh?
That location… seems to contain a small spatial pocket?
Could it be… a Small World?
A Small World actually exists within this Space Abyss?"
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei gazed toward a certain spot and muttered in surprise.
Then.
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed, arriving at that position.
"There is indeed a spatial pocket here!"
Ye Yunfei was utterly astonished. His figure moved again, and with a whoosh, he vanished.
The next moment.
Ye Yunfei found himself within a small spatial pocket!
"What place is this?!"
Ye Yunfei was completely stunned, gaping speechless at the scene before his eyes.
