As he continuously refined and absorbed the effects of the pills, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power began to rise rapidly.
The potency of Seventh-Grade, Eighth-Grade, and Ninth-Grade Dao Pills was no joke.
It was important to remember that even the major forces within the Sacred Domain of the Profound Yellow Star Region would have found it difficult to produce a single Seventh-Grade Dao Pill!
Yet here was Ye Yunfei, consuming and refining hundreds at once. The sheer medicinal power and the obviousness of the effects were easy to imagine.
The increase was particularly sharp and instantaneous when Ye Yunfei finally consumed and refined those ten Sacred Pills.
A few days later, when Ye Yunfei had finished consuming and refining all the Dao Pills and Sacred Pills, the strength of his Soul Power had increased by at least thirtyfold!
"With my current Soul Power, the Heavenly Soul Sword I can unleash should be enough to deal with Early Stage Imperial Realm experts!" Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power to feel it, muttering to himself.
The Heavenly Soul Sword was a Soul Force Martial Art that Ye Yunfei had cultivated in his previous life, with exceptionally profound comprehension. He knew he was still far from unleashing its most powerful potential.
"With my current spiritual energy intensity and Soul Power intensity, I should be able to try cultivating the Weapon Control Art. Once I've mastered it, I can attempt a breakthrough." Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
The Weapon Control Art was another specialized technique for controlling magical artifacts that Ye Yunfei had cultivated in the past.
Generally speaking, ordinary martial artists controlled one, or at most a few, artifacts during battle.
The more artifacts one tried to control, the more difficult it became to manage them effectively. Instead of increasing power, it could actually diminish the potency of each individual artifact.
The Weapon Control Art was different. After cultivating it, one could control dozens, even hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... simultaneously.
In his past life, a super-power once provoked Ye Yunfei. In retaliation, Ye Yunfei simultaneously activated and controlled one hundred thousand high-grade artifacts to storm their headquarters. The high-level members of that super-power were utterly dumbfounded. In the end, they had no choice but to yield and sue for peace, offering gifts and apologies, saying every nice word they could, and paying a huge sum in compensation before Ye Yunfei finally relented.
Naturally, a technique like the Weapon Control Art was exceedingly rare in the world. Ordinary martial artists would have no chance of coming into contact with it.
It could be said that every single cultivation method and martial skill stored within Ye Yunfei's memories was of the highest caliber!
Next, Ye Yunfei began cultivating the Weapon Control Art.
The technique placed certain requirements on both spiritual energy intensity and Soul Power intensity. It required at least Imperial Realm-level strength to even have a hope of cultivating it.
Ye Yunfei's current power just met the requirement!
Five days later.
Ye Yunfei finally succeeded in cultivating the Weapon Control Art.
"Now, I can control at least one hundred artifacts simultaneously," Ye Yunfei said to himself.
Whoosh! Whoosh...
Ye Yunfei took out one hundred artifacts. Among them were the dozen or so Innate Treasures he had obtained in the Divine Fall Land!
The rest were all high-grade Respectful Artifacts.
Boom! Boom...
Ye Yunfei activated the Weapon Control Art, simultaneously empowering all one hundred artifacts. Surging energies were released, their roars shaking the heavens.
"It's a bit taxing on spiritual energy. However, I have a large supply of Dao Pills specifically meant for replenishing spiritual energy. That shouldn't be a concern. Alright, it's time to break out."
Ye Yunfei focused for a moment and nodded.
At that moment.
In the world outside the Phantom Tower, less than a full day had passed.
Led by the Imperial Realm experts, the large crowd of martial artists was still attacking the three Formations.
At this point, the three Formations were shaking and wobbling. Although they had not been broken yet, their energy had clearly diminished significantly.
"Haha, everyone, keep at it! It won't be long before we break these three Formations!" The Imperial Realm experts were greatly pleased.
Right at that moment.
Whoosh! Whoosh...
The Imperial Realm experts suddenly discovered an invisible Soul Power dagger attacking their Soul Seas with terrifying Soul Force Energy, aiming straight for their Soul Bodies.
"Who is it?!" The Imperial Realm experts were all startled, quickly retreating in fright as they hurriedly circulated the Soul Power in their Soul Seas to resist the little daggers.
Consequently, the Innate Treasures they were controlling also stopped attacking.
In that split second, Ye Yunfei appeared within the three Formations. With a wave of his hand, the three Formations vanished, turning back into three black pearls that landed in his palm.
Boom! Boom...
While putting away the three Formations, Ye Yunfei unleashed one hundred artifacts from his body, including the dozen Innate Treasures and the Profound Magnetic Mountain.
One hundred artifacts were activated simultaneously, each releasing a torrent of violent energy that erupted outward in all directions.
Vast waves of energy pressure surged forth like raging tides and furious torrents, causing the very space around them to tremble violently.
In that moment, all the surrounding martial warriors paled in fright, desperately scrambling backwards.
Ah! Ah...
Several martial artists who were too close or whose dodging movements were too slow were blasted to pieces on the spot, their miserable cries ringing out.
By this time, the Innate Treasures controlled by the Imperial Realm experts had temporarily ceased their attacks. In this situation, not a single martial artist present could withstand the simultaneous onslaught of the dozen-plus Innate Treasures under Ye Yunfei's control!
After unleashing the one hundred artifacts with the Weapon Control Art, Ye Yunfei immediately utilized his spatial energy. The surrounding space began to ripple gently.
"Not good!
He's going to flee by traversing space!
Stop him!"
Immediately, several Imperial Realm experts with keen senses noticed and shouted.
But it was too late. How swift were Ye Yunfei's movements? Under the cover of the hundred artifacts, Ye Yunfei took a single step and crossed into the spatial layer.
Just before disappearing, Ye Yunfei waved his hand once more. All one hundred artifacts flew back and vanished into his body.
Whoosh! Whoosh...
Ye Yunfei unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword once again. At a shocking speed, the attack instantly targeted the Soul Seas of every surrounding Imperial Realm expert.
The Imperial Realm experts all changed expressions, once again hurriedly retreating.
Ye Yunfei had already vanished into the deep layers of space, disappearing without a trace.
Faster than words can describe, the entire sequence—from Ye Yunfei's appearance, to the unleashing of the Heavenly Soul Sword, then the Weapon Control Art, another application of the Heavenly Soul Sword, and finally his vanishing into the spatial depths—lasted merely a single breath!
It was over in the blink of an eye!
"Damn it!
Ye Yunfei escaped!"
"Stop him!"
After the surrounding martial artists processed what had happened, their shame quickly turned into rage. Especially the Imperial Realm experts, they were furious to the extreme.
Boom! Boom...
A storm of savage attacks fell relentlessly upon the spot where Ye Yunfei had just stood, making the space there ripple with chaotic energy and billowing smoke, nearly shattering it.
But it was useless.
Ye Yunfei had long since vanished without a trace!
Next, the scene fell into a deathly silence. The Imperial Realm experts glared at the spot where Ye Yunfei had disappeared with bloodshot eyes, utterly unable to accept this fact.
With so many people, including so many Imperial Realm experts, they still couldn't stop a junior from leaving.
"I truly never imagined his Soul Power was this strong!" One Imperial Realm expert gnashed his teeth.
"What in the world happened?
Did I see correctly?
Just now, he activated one hundred artifacts all at once!
How is that possible?" Another Imperial Realm expert said in a tone of utter disbelief.
