At that moment, the gazes of all the young geniuses on the platform towards Ye Yunfei turned grave.
Everyone could see that this young man of unknown origin had extremely peculiar combat power.
He could fight across two whole levels, achieving a crushing victory with ease.
"So you're this powerful!
I was worried for you for nothing!"
Having watched Ye Yunfei vanquish an enemy with a single stomp, Yan'er was stunned by his astonishing prowess. Her small face was filled with shock, and it took her a good while to regain her composure, patting her chest as she spoke.
"Heh, I already said, mere ants like these are no threat to me.
So, there was truly no need for you to worry," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile towards Yan'er.
At the crucial moment earlier, Yan'er had suddenly stood up for him, earning Ye Yunfei's goodwill.
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the faces of the many young geniuses on the platform darkened further, turning gloomy and unpleasant.
Although Ye Yunfei's casual act of stomping a Core Disciple of the Youming Sect to death was deeply shocking...
on this particular platform, that Core Disciple was actually one of the weaker ones.
Present on this platform were several young geniuses at the Soul Formation Realm.
Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was at the Middle Soul Formation Realm!
It was precisely that blue-robed man who had been following Duanmu Xue obsequiously!
"Hmph!
You're too arrogant, kid!
On a slight disagreement, you actually killed in public. Do you truly look down upon us, the assembled young geniuses?"
Suddenly, a man at the Early Stage Soul Formation Realm stepped forward, releasing a rolling pressure of spiritual energy to suppress Ye Yunfei.
"Correct. I do not place your so-called geniuses in my eyes. And what of it?" Ye Yunfei replied, casually flicking his fingers.
The next instant...
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei unleashed a Soul Sword, piercing into the man's Soul Sea.
With Ye Yunfei's current level of Soul Power, the Soul Sword he could deploy was potent enough to deal with cultivators at the Late Soul Formation Realm!
How could this man withstand it?
"Argh!"
The man let out a shriek, his body hurled backwards, blood streaming from his nose and mouth, his face deathly pale, his aura withered!
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei activated his Sky Shadow Robe, stepping forward with impossible speed, appearing instantly right before the man, standing chest to chest.
Pfft!
Ye Yunfei executed a Body Divine Ability—his fist swelled continuously, becoming like a small hill—and slammed into the man's torso, reducing him to a mist of blood on the spot.
"Who else wants to provoke me?
Hurry up. Don't waste my time," Ye Yunfei's indifferent voice rang out.
In that moment, the plaza fell into absolute silence once more.
Killing an Early Stage Soul Formation Realm expert with a single punch!
The combat power Ye Yunfei had displayed was truly terrifying.
Moreover, the cruelty Ye Yunfei exhibited—casually taking lives—had completely intimidated the young geniuses on the platform.
For a moment, no one on the platform dared to step forward and challenge Ye Yunfei!
Even the blue-robed man at the Middle Soul Formation Realm gazed at Ye Yunfei with a hint of wariness in his eyes.
"Just who are you? What is your background?
With your strength, you shouldn't be an unknown nobody within the Xuanhuang Star Domain!" the blue-robed man demanded, his eyes fixed on Ye Yunfei.
"My background is not something you, much less any force behind you, is qualified to inquire about," Ye Yunfei replied calmly.
Ye Yunfei's statement was not wrong. The secret of a Heavenly Emperor reincarnating, once revealed, would undoubtedly be a world-shaking, epoch-shattering secret that would reverberate across countless realms.
A mere force from the Xuanhuang Star Domain was simply not qualified to probe such an earth-shattering secret.
"Hmph!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the blue-robed man flew into a rage, his gaze turning sharp and piercing as he stared intently at Ye Yunfei.
However, in the end, he merely flicked his sleeve, found a seat, and sat down, paying Ye Yunfei no further attention.
His fear of Ye Yunfei's combat power ultimately prevented him from taking action.
By this time, the commotion on the platform had long since drawn the attention of countless people throughout the plaza.
However, everyone knew that each individual qualified to ascend those platforms was a renowned young prodigy of significant background.
Disputes among such prodigies were not something outsiders dared to casually intervene in.
The Ancient Demon Race personnel guarding the periphery of the platforms, witnessing Ye Yunfei's terrifying combat power, understood that he must possess an extraordinary background. Therefore, they simply chose not to intervene, turning a blind eye.
Before entering the Demon Domain, Ye Yunfei had already used the Heavenly Machine Transformation to alter his appearance and aura of Soul Power.
The Ancient Demon Race personnel simply could not recognize him.
Ye Yunfei found a seat and sat down.
"So you're this amazing!"
Yan'er, following closely by Ye Yunfei's side, looked at him with admiration in her eyes, like a little fan.
"You killed a Core Disciple of the Youming Sect and the most outstanding contemporary Saint of the Tongtian Sect. Neither force will let you off.
Be prepared to face their wrath.
Yan'er, come to my side!"
Duanmu Xue walked over, pulling Yan'er away, while shooting a glance at Ye Yunfei as she spoke.
"If any force comes to provoke me, I'll just kill them directly," Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
"You...
Being so arrogant will never serve you well!
You handle things your own way!"
Duanmu Xue was left speechless by Ye Yunfei's retort. Throwing down her sentence, she left and took a seat far away from Ye Yunfei.
Yan'er looked pitifully at the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm on Ye Yunfei's shoulder, drooling over it, wishing she could possess it immediately.
However, under Duanmu Xue's stern gaze, she dared not act recklessly.
Watching this, Ye Yunfei secretly found it amusing.
However, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was far too precious. Once it matured in the future, it would undoubtedly become an earth-shaking, world-shattering powerhouse. Ye Yunfei had no intention of giving it away.
Just at that moment...
Boom...!
A column of demonic light, reaching between heaven and earth, suddenly erupted from the inky black demonic palace at the corner of the plaza, shooting straight into the sky, its might shaking the four directions.
The Fourth Prince of the Ancient Demon Race had exited his seclusion!
Instantly, the crowd in the plaza surged and buzzed with excitement.
"They say the Fourth Prince's age is merely equivalent to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old human martial artist. Such a young age, yet he actually broke through to the Early Stage Soul Formation Realm! Such talent is truly astonishing!"
"Indeed!
Such talent, even within the Ancient Demon Race—no, even within the Holy Realm—can rival the young prodigies of those ancient great sects and clans!"
"Otherwise, why do you think so many forces and martial artists rushed to the Demon Domain to attend the grand ceremony for the Fourth Prince's exit from seclusion?
Their goal is to befriend a future powerhouse destined to rise!"
Throughout the plaza, waves of discussion continued to rise.
"Hehe...
The Fourth Prince is indeed the pride of our Ancient Demon Race!"
Surrounding that demonic palace, three figures at the Middle Soul Formation Realm, seven at the Early Stage Soul Formation Realm, and several dozen experts at the Late Stage Primordial Soul Realm were seated cross-legged, each wearing a proud smile.
"Hmm. In a moment, I'll kill this Fourth Prince with a single punch right in front of everyone, then commence a great slaughter!
I'll annihilate this city!"
Ye Yunfei gazed at the demonic palace, murmuring softly.
Ye Yunfei would show absolutely no mercy towards the Ancient Demon Race.
After all, the Ancient Demon Race army had invaded the Tianxuan Continent twice, wreaking havoc and causing deaths too numerous to count!
Furthermore, even now, a group of Tianxuan Continent's martial artists remained imprisoned in the Ancient Demon Realm, working as cattle and slaves, driven and abused by the Ancient Demon Race, living a life worse than death!
The next instant...
The great door of the demonic palace swung open automatically. An imposing Ancient Demon Race youth, towering and majestic, strode out from within with his head held high.
The Fourth Prince of the Ancient Demon Race had emerged!
