"Ye Yunfei, you've simultaneously activated three High-Grade Illusion Artifacts!
How did you manage that?!"
Guluo cried out in utter unwillingness.
Even a peak Minor Mystic Pill Realm expert would find it incredibly difficult to activate three High-Grade Illusion Artifacts at once.
But for Ye Yunfei, low-tier magic tools were nothing at all.
After all, Ye Yunfei had even forged Emperor-Treasures before!
"Break!"
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger.
The three High-Grade Illusion Artifacts blasted forward simultaneously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
In that moment, peak after peak exploded across dozens of miles as the earth began to collapse, mushroom clouds of energy rising continuously into the sky.
The might of an High-Grade Illusion Artifact was utterly terrifying!
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
The Low-Grade Illusion Artifacts floating above the five foreign experts' heads exploded in succession.
Low-Grade Illusion Artifacts stood no chance when faced with Advanced ones!
"Now, what methods do you have left to withstand my Soul Power attacks?"
Ye Yunfei looked at the five foreign experts and asked calmly.
The five experts were all pale-faced.
They had originally thought that with their Minor Mystic Pill Realm strength, dealing with Ye Yunfei would be effortless.
But now, not only could they not win, Ye Yunfei held absolute advantage!
"Show me any other trump cards you have."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the five foreign experts exchanged glances.
"Everyone, it seems our strength is insufficient to capture Ye Yunfei and bring him back."
Guluo suddenly let out a soft sigh.
"The Aoyue Demon King said to bring him back, dead or alive."
Another Ancient Demon Race expert spoke up.
The gazes of the five foreign experts now all radiated a sense of finality, as if they had made a certain decision.
Then.
"Attack together!
Fight him to the death!"
Guluo roared.
Whoosh…
The five Minor Mystic Pill Realm masters moved simultaneously, their speed reaching an extreme as they charged at Ye Yunfei.
"Haha…
Do you think death-despair will work?!"
Ye Yunfei laughed heartily.
Amidst the laughter, Ye Yunfei pointed a finger, and the three High-Grade Illusion Artifacts blasted out together.
The five foreign experts shuddered simultaneously, spurting large mouthfuls of blood.
Boom! Boom!...
Suddenly, flames ignited from the bodies of the five foreign experts, blazing fiercely.
They were beginning to burn their essence!
Their speed instantly increased, closing the distance to Ye Yunfei in a flash.
Furthermore, a destructive aura emanated from their bodies.
"Not good!"
Ye Yunfei's expression suddenly changed, realizing what these five Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts were planning to do!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A dazzling golden Core shot out from within each of the five experts' bodies and detonated simultaneously.
Then.
This expanse of heaven and earth began to erupt in a wild series of massive explosions.
It seemed as though everything—space, time, earth, mountains, rivers…
All things were exploding, shattering, disintegrating, turning to drifting ash!
Viewed from afar, only mushroom clouds of explosive energy constantly rising skyward and rolling dust blotting out the sun and sky remained in this area.
Moments later.
The booming explosions gradually calmed.
Only after nearly half an hour did the towering clouds of dust gradually disperse with the wind.
Sight returned to the area, clearing up.
Everything within a radius of thirty miles—all peaks, forests, rivers, grasslands—had vanished.
Only a shattered, scorched land remained, roiling with smoke.
The ground was torn with thick fissures that spread like lightning in all directions.
In some places, the earth had completely collapsed, crisscrossed by cracks with dust billowing forth.
In the distance.
Those from the Tianxuan Continent strained their eyes, extremely tense.
Everyone had clearly witnessed the scene of the five Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts detonating their Cores.
But once the great explosions began, they could see nothing more.
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
Gu Chengzhu waved his hand, soared into the air, and flew carefully toward that area.
The other Grotto-Heaven Realm experts followed suit.
Soon, everyone arrived at the center of the earlier explosion.
"Commandant Ye seems to have vanished."
Someone spoke.
These Grotto-Heaven Realm experts each released their Soul Power, conducting a carpet search of the area.
But they found nothing.
"Search!
Find Commandant Ye!"
Gu Chengzhu roared.
Immediately, a large contingent of people began carefully combing the area.
But even after a long search, they still discovered no trace.
It was as if Ye Yunfei had evaporated, leaving no sign!
"City Lord Gu, what were those five golden beads? Why was their explosive power so immense?"
A younger Grotto-Heaven Realm expert couldn't help but ask.
"Those five golden beads were their Cores.
Legend says Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts initially condense a Core within their dantian.
The Core is the essence of all their energy.
Once detonated, it possesses earth-shattering destructive power.
I never imagined the legends were true."
Gu Chengzhu sighed.
"Then what about Commandant Ye…"
Someone whispered.
"When those five Cores exploded, Commandant Ye was extremely close.
He was certainly caught in it.
However, Commandant Ye is immensely powerful, the number one figure on our Tianxuan Continent. We can only hope he managed to evade it in time and escaped this calamity."
Gu Chengzhu fell silent for a moment before sighing softly.
The others understood, after hearing Gu Chengzhu's words, that Ye Yunfei's chances seemed bleak.
"Impossible!
Dean Ye could not have perished!
Keep searching!
We must find Commandant Ye!"
Xie Changkong and the others from Hudao Academy refused to give up, searching the shattered land almost inch by inch.
But still, they found no trace of Ye Yunfei!
"It seems Commandant Ye has most likely perished."
Someone sighed softly.
"Commandant Ye has perished along with those five foreign experts!
Once again, Commandant Ye has saved our Tianxuan Continent!"
Another person nearby nodded.
The atmosphere grew heavy.
Most people felt sorrowful.
After that, Gu Chengzhu, Cui Tianguo, Xie Changkong, and others stayed on that shattered land, continuing to search, hoping a miracle would occur.
But for two or three days straight, they found no trace of Ye Yunfei.
"Commandant Ye has fallen."
Everyone in their hearts acknowledged this fact.
Soon, the news of Ye Yunfei's mutual destruction with the five foreign experts rapidly spread.
The entire Tianxuan Continent echoed with cries of grief, blanketed in sorrow.
However, within the headquarters of the four great powers in Central Continent—the Fengyun Clan, the Xiao Clan, the Shenfeng Cult, and the Tianyan Cult—hearty laughter broke out.
"Excellent!
Ye Yunfei is finally dead!"
The top brass of these four powers simultaneously sighed in relief.
