At this moment.
Inside the Crystal Mine Small World.
Within a massive tent, the Tianmo Prince sat in the central position.
The tent also held over a hundred Grotto-Heaven Realm experts, consisting of both Ancient Demon Race members and humans.
"Tianmo Prince, Lord Aoyue Demon King has just sent a message instructing us to continue waiting here. He is devising a method to retrieve us," an Ancient Demon Race expert entered the tent and reported.
"Damnation, why did the spatial rift's structure suddenly change? If not for that, my father would have already retrieved us," the Tianmo Prince complained.
"But the one I hate the most is still that Ye Yunfei! If he hadn't destroyed that Teleportation Altar, we wouldn't be in such a wretched state! Ye Yunfei, you just wait. Sooner or later, I'll take revenge for this!" the Tianmo Prince said through gritted teeth.
Right at that moment.
"You won't get the chance."
A voice suddenly sounded.
Then, a figure abruptly emerged from beneath the ground, appearing inside the tent.
It was Ye Yunfei!
"Ye Yunfei!"
Inside the tent, the Tianmo Prince and the hundred-odd Grotto-Heaven Realm experts were so startled they all leaped to their feet.
"Ye Yunfei, how did you find this place?!" the Tianmo Prince asked, both shocked and furious.
"Does how I found you matter?" Ye Yunfei retorted coolly, his hands clasped behind his back as his icy gaze swept over the hundred-plus Grotto-Heaven Realm experts in the tent.
"Ye Yunfei, what do you want?" The Tianmo Prince's expression was extremely grim.
"To uproot the weeds." Ye Yunfei replied lightly.
As soon as his words fell.
Buzz…
The Five Elements Spirit Swords shot forth, forming the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation that whirled outwards in a killing dance.
Aaaaahhh…
Immediately, miserable shrieks rose from within the tent.
These Grotto-Heaven Realm experts simply had no power to resist at all.
"Guards! Quick, guards! Kill him!"
The Tianmo Prince, however, reacted with surprising speed. With a flash of his figure, he smashed through the tent wall, burst outside, and roared loudly.
Instantly.
From all directions, a dense tide of Ancient Demon Race troops surged forth to attack.
BOOM…
The five spirit swords, like five dazzling dragons of light, tore the entire tent to shreds and soared out. Wherever they passed, be it human or demon, the targets were instantly ground to dust.
The hundred-plus Grotto-Heaven Realm experts met the same fate, incapable of resistance!
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, these Ancient Demon Race forces were far too weak!
Aaaaahhh…
Pitiful screams continuously echoed within this Small World.
A short while later.
All of the Ancient Demon Race forces within this Small World had been slaughtered to the last, leaving only the Tianmo Prince!
Ye Yunfei walked step by step toward the Tianmo Prince.
The five spirit swords hovered at his side, emanating dense, bone-chilling sword auras.
"Now, it's your turn," Ye Yunfei's tone was ice-cold.
"I am the son of the Aoyue Demon King! If you dare kill me, my father will never let you go!" The Tianmo Prince stared at Ye Yunfei with terrified eyes, his voice trembling.
"Whether I kill you or not, the Aoyue Demon King will come seeking revenge on me. What's more, even if he doesn't come for me, I will go and settle the score with him," Ye Yunfei sneered.
"You want to go and settle a score with my father?" The Tianmo Prince was taken aback.
"Your Ancient Demon Race army invaded the Tianxuan Continent, bringing immense suffering to its people. That is an account I will certainly collect from the Ancient Demon Race," Ye Yunfei stated.
"Hahaha… Ye Yunfei, you're too arrogant! Within my Ancient Demon Race, talents abound like trees in a forest, and we have Heavenly Emperor Realm experts overseeing us! How dare you think of settling accounts with our Ancient Demon Race? Ye Yunfei, if you let me go, I can return and tell my father to spare you. From then on, as long as you stop provoking my Ancient Demon Race, the grievances between you and us can be wiped clean," the Tianmo Prince burst into laughter and then declared.
"Not necessary."
Ye Yunfei shook his head and spoke indifferently.
Then.
BOOM!
Ye Yunfei threw a punch. His fist continuously enlarged, transforming into a colossal fist as over eighty million jin of physical strength poured forth.
"Ye Yunfei, I'll fight you to the death!" The Tianmo Prince roared in fury. He produced a black halberd, infused it with torrential demonic power, and raised it to block.
*Pfft!*
Ye Yunfei's fist shattered the halberd into pieces.
Then.
Ye Yunfei's fist, with a world-destroying, terrifying momentum, continued its relentless advance.
"Who dares kill my son?!"
A pitch-black Soul Imprint manifested, bellowing with rage.
It was the illusory shadow of an Ancient Demon Race being, emanating an aura that made one's heart tremble.
The Aoyue Demon King's Soul Imprint!
RUMBLE…
This Soul Imprint of the Aoyue Demon King erupted with terrifying Soul Power energy, a vast and mighty force that crashed violently towards Ye Yunfei.
Generally, important figures would leave a Soul Imprint on key descendants to protect their safety.
*Swish!*
With a mere thought from Ye Yunfei, the Heaven Soul Sword flew out and slashed at the Aoyue Demon King's Soul Imprint.
With a *pfft*, the Aoyue Demon King's Soul Imprint directly exploded into fragments.
Ye Yunfei's fist landed on the Tianmo Prince's body.
"Aahh!"
The Tianmo Prince let out a final scream before his body disintegrated, turning into a mist of blood.
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power and swept it through the Small World, confirming its state.
Within this Small World, all members of the Ancient Demon Race had been exterminated.
Ye Yunfei turned and left this Small World.
"Did you find the Tianmo Prince?" Da Di Daozhang asked when Ye Yunfei emerged from the Crystal Mine Small World, as the elder was still waiting outside.
"Already killed him," Ye Yunfei replied indifferently.
Half a day later.
Ye Yunfei returned to Hudao Academy.
"Dean Ye, the headquarters and all branch strongholds of the four forces—the Fengyun Family, Xiao Clan, Shenfeng Sect, and Tianyan Sect—have been destroyed. These four forces are now completely consigned to history!" Xie Changkong immediately came to see Ye Yunfei and reported.
"Good," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Dean Ye, after discussing with Elder He and the others, we all believe that you should take up the position of Headmaster of the academy from now on," Xie Changkong suddenly said.
"No."
Ye Yunfei shook his head.
"Dean Ye, this is a directive from the former Headmaster of the Guardian Academy," Xie Changkong pressed.
"I will be leaving the Tianxuan Continent soon. Dean Xie, the position of Headmaster should continue to be held by you," Ye Yunfei explained.
"Dean Ye, you are leaving the Tianxuan Continent?!" Xie Changkong was stunned.
"That's right," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"That… makes sense. Dean Ye, with your current strength, staying on the Tianxuan Continent offers you no further prospects for growth. The world's laws here will hinder your breakthroughs to higher realms," Xie Changkong finally sighed after a long silence.
"Dean Ye, when will you leave?" Xie Changkong asked.
"In a few days," Ye Yunfei said.
In this reincarnated life, Ye Yunfei's paramount pursuit was to rapidly enhance his strength and strive to regain the Heavenly Emperor throne as soon as possible.
The Tianxuan Continent was merely a low-tier continent, with incomplete world laws and sparse spiritual energy. To Ye Yunfei, it was akin to a set of shackles.
Remaining in such an environment was harmful, offering no benefit.
