Rumble…
As soon as Ye Yunfei finished speaking, a tsunami-like roar erupted from the artifact-crafting cauldron before him.
The crafting cauldron began to shake violently.
Staggering waves of astonishing sword intent emanated from within the cauldron's body, slicing the surrounding space and creating streaks of dark, pitch-black cracks.
These spatial fissures continuously appeared and healed, causing this patch of space to appear surreal and phantasmagoric.
Sputt!
At a certain moment, Ye Yunfei tapped a finger against his own chest. Immediately, a spurt of blood shot out like an arrow, falling into the artifact-crafting cauldron.
Boom…
The roaring from inside the cauldron grew even more violent.
Sputt! Sputt!…
Ye Yunfei extended a hand and tapped his chest several times in succession, causing several more jets of blood to continuously fall into the cauldron.
Rumble…
Inside the artifact-crafting cauldron, the booming reached the heavens. It was as if tsunamis were piling upon each other, as if endless volcanoes were erupting.
The space for dozens of miles around was also affected, trembling violently as if an earthquake were occurring.
These five spirit swords had already been tempered and refined multiple times previously. Now, being reforged with the addition of sixteen Venerable Artifacts, their power was far from simple. Even before emerging, they were already producing a shocking phenomenon!
“Arise!”
At a particular moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly shouted fiercely.
Boom…
Five dazzling sword-dragons leapt out from the cauldron, soaring into the sky, stirring up boundless wind and clouds.
Rumble…
Trailing a vast, pale ocean of sword qi, the five sword-dragons charged straight towards the depths of the firmament.
Hum!
As the five sword-dragons surged into the firmament, the void roared and trembled like a piece of tattered cloth being shaken violently.
Five unimaginable pressures of the Sword Dao instantly enveloped this stretch of heaven and earth.
Within several hundred miles, all birds and beasts, including the powerful demonic and monstrous creatures, fell limp to the ground at the same moment.
Countless weaker animal and bird souls within this range trembled in fear, some even involuntarily prostrating themselves in worship towards the five spirit swords deep in the heavens.
Ye Yunfei knew that reforging the Five Elements Spirit Swords with sixteen Venerable Artifacts was no small matter; the commotion was bound to be astonishing. Therefore, he had deliberately chosen a very remote mountain range to carry out the sword refinement.
But even so, many martial artists in the distance noticed the strange phenomena in this mountainous area.
Especially the five brilliant sword-dragons in the sky — they were far too eye-catching.
“Look!
What is that?”
Many martial artists cried out in astonishment.
“A heaven and earth anomaly!
It's extremely likely that some incredibly valuable treasure has appeared in that mountain area!”
“It looks like it!
I knew it all along; that mountain area exhibits a Five Elements configuration, its terrain is unique, a place where the earth's essence converges. It harbors rare treasures, which is no surprise at all!”
“Let’s hurry over and see what treasure it is!”
Soon, numerous martial artists came rushing from all directions towards the location where Ye Yunfei was refining his swords.
“Not bad at all.
Relying on these five spirit swords now, I can fight against mid-stage Soul Formation Realm opponents!
Even if I encounter a late-stage Soul Formation Realm expert, I can protect myself and retreat unharmed.”
Ye Yunfei savored the might of the sword qi released by the five spirit swords and nodded in satisfaction.
After being reforged with sixteen Venerable Artifacts, the quality of these five spirit swords had achieved a qualitative leap!
Next, Ye Yunfei pointed a finger.
Boom! Boom!…
Like nestlings returning to the forest, the five spirit swords descended from the high altitude, plunging into Ye Yunfei's body and disappearing from sight.
“Over there!”
“Right, that should be the spot!”
At this moment, many martial artists were activating their movement techniques, charging towards Ye Yunfei's location from all sides.
Numerous powerful pulses of Soul Power also swept over as perception.
Ye Yunfei activated his spatial energy, took a single step, traversed into space, and vanished.
Swoosh! Swoosh!…
Not long after Ye Yunfei's figure disappeared, sharp, swift figures descended one after another, landing at the spot where Ye Yunfei had just refined his swords.
However, they were unable to discover anything at all!
“To the Jiang Family first!”
In the distance, an airship soared into the sky. Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged within it, his aura thick with killing intent.
While refining his swords earlier, Ye Yunfei had received a communication sent by Meng Qianzheng. He knew the Ancient Demon Race would likely send people to the Jiang Family.
“In that case, it's time to properly settle accounts with the Ancient Demon Race.”
Ye Yunfei's eyes gleamed with a cold light.
Back on the Tianxuan Continent, Ye Yunfei had already incurred the enmity of the Ancient Demon Race. Their feud had persisted until now, making them old adversaries!
A few hours later.
“That up ahead should be Jiang City!”
Inside the airship, Ye Yunfei stood up, his gaze looking ahead into the distance.
On the horizon ahead, a city stood tall between heaven and earth, considered quite magnificent within Tianzhou of the Northern Wastes Domain.
Jiang City, the headquarters of the Jiang Family!
“There's demonic aura!
The Ancient Demon Race's forces truly have come!”
Ye Yunfei's eyes narrowed.
He saw that the area around Jiang City was seething with demonic aura. Squads of people from the Ancient Demon Race had surrounded Jiang City on all sides.
These forces from the Ancient Demon Race consisted of both Ancient Demon Race members and human martial artists.
Over the years, the Ancient Demon Race had waged war everywhere, conquering numerous racial factions and small worlds. They commanded a vast host of followers, with strong soldiers and ample horses, easily able to organize a major army.
“Meng Qianzheng, I advise your Heavenly Dao Academy not to interfere in the affairs of our Ancient Demon Race.
What concern of yours is our dealing with the Jiang Family?”
A rather elderly-looking Ancient Demon clansman cackled strangely.
This Ancient Demon was none other than Xue Tu!
“The Jiang Family has members in our Heavenly Dao Academy, so naturally it is our concern.”
Meng Qianzheng stood opposite Xue Tu, refusing to give an inch.
“Your Heavenly Dao Academy's jurisdiction is simply too broad.
Do you really think our Ancient Demon Race is easy to bully?
Meng Qianzheng, I'll say this one last time — have the people from your Heavenly Dao Academy move aside immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!”
Xue Tu said coldly.
Five Ancient Demon experts with terrifying auras stood lined up behind Xue Tu, each with fierce, menacing glints in their eyes, seemingly ready to erupt into violence at any moment.
All five were Soul Formation Realm experts!
“I said you cannot touch the Jiang Family.”
Meng Qianzheng shook his head.
“Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to be said.
Prepare to attack!”
Upon hearing this, bloody light erupted violently from Xue Tu's pair of crimson demonic eyes.
“Prepare to face the enemy!”
Meng Qianzheng shouted gravely.
A contingent from the Heavenly Dao Academy stood behind Meng Qianzheng, each person highly tense, ready for battle.
The Jiang Family's forces, led by Jiang Zhengyu, also rose into the air one after another, drawing their weapons.
“Kill!”
“I can smell the scent of fresh blood, I'll get to drink heartily soon!”
“Slaughter them all!”
The Ancient Demon Race forces yelled wildly, especially the Ancient Demon clansmen themselves, each sinking into a frenzy, screeching and howling bizarrely.
The Ancient Demon Race belonged to a maniacal, bloodthirsty race!
It seemed that a terrifying battle was about to begin!
“Attack!”
Xue Tu waved his demonic hand and roared.
At this moment.
Rumble…
Five dazzling sword-dragons, trailing a pale, vast ocean of sword qi, came rolling across the horizon from afar.
These five sword-dragons completely set the entire heaven and earth to a boil!
