At this time, the news that Ye Yunfei had slain over four thousand Otherworldly Realm experts single-handedly swiftly spread.
The entire Tianxuan Continent trembled with fear!
Whether they were warriors of Tianxuan Continent or members of the Otherworldly Realm, their first reaction was shock beyond words, feeling a chill creeping down their spines.
To single-handedly kill over four thousand masters of the Grotto-Heaven Realm—such combat prowess far exceeded everyone's imagination.
"Commander Lin is invincible!"
"Commander Lin is unequivocally the number one expert of our Tianxuan Continent!"
...
Afterwards, rapturous cries erupted everywhere across Tianxuan Continent.
The younger generation of martial artists, in particular, had completely taken Ye Yunfei as their idol!
In stark contrast, every single Otherworldly force fell into frightened silence upon hearing the news, scuttling into hiding like turtles retracting their heads.
Originally, slightly over five thousand Grotto-Heaven Realm experts had entered the Tianxuan Continent.
Now, only a little over a thousand remained.
Every single one of these remaining Grotto-Heaven Realm experts was scared out of their wits.
"Damn it!
How could Ye Yunfei be this strong!"
"This is a trap!
I suspect the Ancient Demon Race tricked us into coming to Tianxuan Continent just to feed us to the slaughter!"
"Let's get out of here!
Leave the Tianxuan Continent immediately!
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
...
Where would the remaining thousand-plus Grotto-Heaven Realm experts dare to linger? Upon hearing the news, their immediate response was to flee in droves toward the Western Sea, preparing to return.

Western Sea, within an underground palace.
"Damn it!"
A nine-meter-tall member of the Ancient Demon Race roared repeatedly, shaking the entire underground palace with his fury.
"Prince Tianmo, please calm your anger!"
All around, members of the Ancient Demon Race knelt densely, each and every one of them apprehensive and fearful.
"How can this damned Ye Yunfei be so powerful!" Prince Tianmo roared.
"Reporting to Prince Tianmo, several dozen Grotto-Heaven Realm masters have returned, demanding that we activate the Teleportation Altar to send them back," a member of the Ancient Demon Race announced loudly before Prince Tianmo.
"Let them return.
Keeping these Grotto-Heaven Realm masters here is useless now," Prince Tianmo said with a sigh after a moment of silence.

At this moment, somewhere in the sky above Tianxuan Continent.
A spacecraft flew swiftly toward the direction of the Western Sea.
Inside the spacecraft were eight old men, each possessing the Tenth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm strength!
Besides them, there were a large number of exceptionally beautiful, peerlessly attractive young women.
However, all these women had their cultivation sealed. Weak and powerless, moving was difficult, their expressions mostly filled with panic, grief, indignation, or fury.
Among them was a girl sitting cross-legged, meditating with her eyes closed.
It was Su Qingluo!
"Our harvest from this trip to Tianxuan Continent is quite good.
Young Master Wu is sure to reward us heavily upon our return," one of the old men said smugly.
"In my opinion, the girl we captured from the Su Clan is the one Young Master Wu will like most.
Not only is she peerlessly beautiful, but she possesses a particularly unique temperament," another old man commented.
"Exactly.
Young Master Wu will definitely favor this girl. He might even formally take her as a concubine.
For us, that would be a great achievement!"
The others all nodded in agreement.
"A pity. Originally, we could have stayed longer in Tianxuan Continent to collect even more beauties.
Who would have thought that such a backwater, low-level continent could produce such a terrifying freak?
Now we have to leave ahead of schedule," one of the elders suddenly lamented.
"That Ye Yunfei does indeed count as a minor genius.
But he amounts to nothing when compared to our Young Master Wu.
Young Master Wu is only twenty years old and already a master of the Minor Profound Dan Realm!
A mere Ye Yunfei isn't even worthy of carrying Young Master Wu's shoes."
"Of course!
Ye Yunfei is just a lowly native of a backward continent. How could he compare to Young Master Wu?
Even within the vast Xuanhuang Star Domain, Young Master Wu is ranked among the notable young geniuses."
All the other elders nodded one after another.
"The Western Sea is just ahead!
Soon, we'll be able to leave the Tianxuan Continent!"
Suddenly, an old man spoke up.

Meanwhile, in Da Di Daozhang's spacecraft.
"Ye Yunfei, you want to kill Young Master Wu and wipe out the Wu Clan? That's a monumentally difficult task.
I admit, at the Grotto-Heaven Realm level, you are unrivaled.
But that Young Master Wu is a master of the Minor Profound Dan Realm.
Moreover, the Wu Clan is one of the strongest major clans in the Xuanhuang Star Domain. Rumor has it a Patriarch possessing the strength of a World Deity personally sits in charge!" Da Di Daozhang said.
"A mere World Deity holds no fear for me. I would shatter him with a single fist!"
Ye Yunfei sneered.
"Shatter him with a single fist?"
Da Di Daozhang was momentarily speechless.
The World Deity Realm! That was the level of the most supremely powerful beings in the Xuanhuang Star Domain!
"Alright, you won't understand no matter what I say now.
Later, after you step beyond Tianxuan Continent and go to the Xuanhuang Star Domain, you'll know how formidable the Wu Clan truly is."
Da Di Daozhang shook his head.
---
"We're about to catch up to them!"
At that moment, Da Di Daozhang suddenly perked up.
"Really?!"
Ye Yunfei was overjoyed, to the point where his body even trembled slightly.
In this reborn lifetime, Su Qingluo was the woman Ye Yunfei cared about most.
If anything happened to Su Qingluo, Ye Yunfei simply wouldn't be able to accept it!
At this moment, the yellow radiance erupting from the Heavenly Compass grew increasingly dazzling.
The golden needle hovering above the Heavenly Compass remained fixed, pointing unwavering toward a specific direction ahead.
"The Western Sea is ahead!
Oh no, it looks like they intend to take Qingluo away from the Tianxuan Continent!"
Peering into the distance, Ye Yunfei's expression immediately changed.
Ahead lay a boundless expanse of azure blue sea.
It was the Western Sea.
Whoosh... Whoosh...
At the same time, numerous spacecraft continuously converged toward the Western Sea from various locations across the Tianxuan Continent.
Each spacecraft carried some Grotto-Heaven Realm experts preparing to flee Tianxuan Continent.
Soon, Da Di Daozhang's spacecraft was flying alongside these other vessels.
With his Soul Power, Ye Yunfei could clearly sense these other spacecraft.
He could even clearly overhear the conversations of the Grotto-Heaven Realm experts inside.
Most of these Grotto-Heaven Realm experts were fearfully discussing Ye Yunfei's terrifying prowess, each one as jumpy as a startled bird.
Concerned for Su Qingluo's safety, Ye Yunfei simply didn't have the heart to deal with these Grotto-Heaven Realm experts from the Xuanhuang Star Domain at the moment.
Little did these experts from the Xuanhuang Star Domain imagine that the spacecraft Ye Yunfei was riding in was flying right alongside theirs.
If they knew, they'd probably be scared half to death.
"I know the location of the Ancient Demon Race's Teleportation Altar!
Let's head straight there!"
Da Di Daozhang said.
"Good!"
Ye Yunfei immediately nodded.
"I'll push for maximum speed!"
Da Di Daozhang drove the spacecraft at full throttle, speeding toward the depths of the Western Sea.
