Chapter 766: The Might of the World Guard Pagoda, Activate!
Six unparalleled mighty warriors at the Half-Step Void Realm were stunned in place, not knowing how to react for a moment; they were clearly deeply shocked by the overwhelming strength displayed by Ye Feng.
From a distance, in a corner, Mu Tian stared intently at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with an astonishment that seemed to have reached its peak.
After some thought, he couldn't help but transmit his voice, "Father, Ye Feng is too powerful. Six Half-Step Void Realm unparalleled warriors, and these aren't beings that the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm can compare with. Even you, Father, are only at the Half-Step Void Realm, but this Ye Feng actually managed to fight six without defeat, and he even injured two of them. Such a level of combat power is simply too terrifying!"
Mu Tian had always been very proud and confident in himself. Even several years ago when his father sent him to the Northern Border to take the opportunity to get close to Ye Feng, he still looked down on Ye Feng. Although at that time they called each other brothers, and Mu Tian stood by Ye Feng's side as a military strategist, deep down he was still filled with disdain for Ye Feng.
Even later, when Ye Feng entered the Outer Battlefield, Mu Tian had already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm. The gap between Ye Feng and him was more than just a little, but in less than two years, Ye Feng had grown to this extent.
Although Mu Tian had also improved greatly over these two years, now he was at the Three Seal Rank; if he utilized his trump cards, he could even contend with the Great Powers of the Yin-Yang Realm at their peak. However, faced with unparalleled warriors at the Half-Step Void Realm Level, he was still far behind.
In other words, the current Ye Feng had far surpassed him.
Over these two years and more in the Outer Battlefield, since he had been following his father all the time, and since Mu Rongtian was always keeping an eye on Ye Feng, the father and son had almost witnessed all of Ye Feng's growth.
Sometimes, some of the fortuitous encounters that Ye Feng obtained were the result of his father's covert assistance.
In other words, if it weren't for Mu Rongtian's implicit help behind the scenes, Ye Feng's growth wouldn't have been so smooth. Of course, Mu Rongtian's assistance was not out of genuine kindness, but because of his scheming.
But now, seeing how domineering Ye Feng was, Mu Tian couldn't help worrying and asked, "Father, now that Ye Feng has become so powerful, aren't you worried that fostering a tiger might lead to trouble, that in the end, we won't be able to control him or even keep him under our influence?"
Mu Rongtian pondered for a moment and then said gravely, "Indeed, the kid's rapid advancement and strength are somewhat beyond my expectations. However, fortunately, it's not yet to the point where he can escape my control. Not to mention now, even if he cultivates that magic technique to the state of Great Perfection in the future, he will still be unable to break free from my control."
Until now, Mu Tian was still confused and asked, "Father, you have been planning that setup, and it requires waiting for Ye Feng to reach Perfection before we can close the net. What exactly is this setup?"
Mu Rongtian's expression darkened, and he transmitted coldly, "Haven't I told you many times? The secrets of heaven must not be revealed, at least not now, otherwise all our previous efforts will go to waste!"
At this point, Mu Rongtian sighed and transmitted earnestly, "Tian'er, I can feel that you are becoming anxious now, even your state of mind is somewhat unstable. It must be because of the great pressure Ye Feng has put on you. After all, you and he have always been covertly competing!"
In a certain sense, Ye Feng and Mu Tian were brothers because Mu Rongtian was Old Long's son, and Mu Tian was Old Long's grandson.
Old Long had always regarded Ye Feng as his half-grandson, so from this relationship, it can be said that Ye Feng and Mu Tian were brothers.
Besides, Mu Rongtian had once proposed to Old Long to let Mu Tian cultivate the Heritage Dharma Door from the Sovereign of the Human Race from over two thousand years ago. However, Old Long directly refused, saying that Mu Tian was not as good as Ye Feng and couldn't bear the responsibility of that cultivation technique.
After learning of this, Mu Tian naturally felt resentful, and it was from that time that he became determined to outdo Ye Feng.
The proud and extremely conceited Mu Tian firmly believed he would never lose to Ye Feng, so when he saw Ye Feng displaying such terrifying combat power, Mu Tian finally lost his usual composure and even began to feel somewhat agitated.
If this went on for a long period, Mu Tian would inevitably develop a Heart Demon!
For a moment, Mu Tian just clenched his fists tightly, staring unblinkingly at Ye Feng inside the battle circle without saying a word.
Mu Rongtian sighed and continued transmitting, "You just relax, Tian'er. Although this Ye surnamed kid has rapid strength, everything is still within controllable range. Once the setup is successful, at that time everything he's done, including all that he possesses, will be yours. In the end, he can only become your wedding garment!"
Mu Tian nodded slightly and transmitted, "Father, although I trust you, I feel that I cannot go on like this. Otherwise, I will always live in your shadow. After you close the net this time, if it is not successful, I will leave the Human Realm and venture out on my own to the Myriad Races of All Heavens. I want to forge my own legacy in the Myriad Worlds of All Heavens!"
Mu Rongtian couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself that if the setup failed, you wouldn't even have your life left. Of course, he wouldn't say this out loud but transmitted instead, "It pleases me greatly that you have such lofty ambitions, my son. I naturally support you!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Mu Rongtian suddenly thought of something and inwardly mused, "Lucky that Tian'er reminded me. In case of failure, I must leave him a way out!"
Mu Rongtian was truly an extremely arrogant person, and he'd never even considered the possibility of failure, so he never left himself any room to retreat. However, today, Mu Tian's words, along with the terrifying combat power just displayed by Ye Feng, inevitably made him waver a bit.
"Damn it, my Dao Heart actually wavered slightly, which is not a good sign at all!" muttered Mu Rongtian to himself, his voice heavy with exasperation.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, although Ye Feng had repelled six half-step Void Realm unparalleled experts, his own Spirit Essence had been severely depleted. In particular, the consumption of his spiritual power was considerable. Although Top Grade Spiritual Stones could recover Spirit Essence, spiritual power could not be replenished in such a short time.
Hovering in mid-air with the Royal Authority Divine Sword in hand, Ye Feng couldn't help but breathe heavily like an ox, his pale face covered in beads of sweat.
The Supreme Elder of the Bu Family was the first to break the oppressive silence, roaring, "Ye, you young man do have impressive combat power, but your foundational cultivation level is still too weak. Relying on your own Cultivation Techniques and Magic Treasures, after all, is not the Righteous Path. It's just like a pavilion in the sky or the moon in the water, all of it is illusory!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh coldly, "What, so the Ancient Bronze Divine Mirror of yours that I just shattered is also illusory?"
The Supreme Elder of the Bu Family was so angered that he was lost for words.
The Supreme Elder of the Tai Jia Clan of the Hong Family sneered, "Don't be so arrogant, kid. After such a short while, you haven't recovered your Spirit Essence. It seems you've used up all your Spirit Stones. Now that you're drained of Spirit Essence, you are nothing but a lamb to the slaughter. What's there for you to be arrogant about!"
The Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang Temple gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it, this brat has severely damaged my Shikigami, breaking the armor of its Defensive Magic Treasure. No matter what, I must eliminate him today!"
The Elder of the Buddhist Sect spoke out loudly, "Everyone does not need to be wary of this boy. As everyone can see, he's now panting heavily and has depleted all his Spirit Essence. He has no combat power left. All we need to do is to take action together, and we will surely be able to kill him!"
Despite these words, no one dared to make a move. After all, these six supposed half-step Void Realm supreme experts had been intimidated by the terrifying combat power Ye Feng had just shown. If this kid was deliberately concealing his strength, the first one to rush forward would be in for it.
Seeing this scene, Ye Feng couldn't help but snicker, "Why has no one made a move? Don't you want to be the leader of the Human Race, or the Alliance Hierarch of the Global Alliance?"
"I'll go. I have Shikigami anyway, so I might as well test if this brat has any tricks left. But let's get one thing clear—if this brat dies at my hands, don't you all start getting envious about my becoming the Sovereign of the Human Race!" the Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang Temple sneered.
"I'll join too. This kid hasn't even reached the Yin-Yang Realm; there's no need to fear him!" said a supreme expert from the Wizard Alliance. After speaking, he suddenly formed a Dharma Seal and transformed, and in an instant, a giant creature resembling a Vajra ape appeared in mid-air.
With a roar, the supreme expert charged straight at Ye Feng.
At the same time, the Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang Temple quickly formed a Magic Technique, maneuvering his Shikigami to rush towards Ye Feng.
"We also must act quickly, we cannot let them take the lead!" the Supreme Elders of the Bu Family and Hong Family snorted coldly and likewise initiated their attack.
Ye Feng remained motionless in mid-air as if nothing could disturb him, and his expression did not change. Seeing this, he shook his head silently and said, "Fine, I've played along with you for so long and have roughly gauged your strength. The training effect is about there, so let's end this battle!"
The crowd around him could not help but be taken aback by his words. Could it be that this guy was just playing the whole time?
However, in the moment of their astonishment, Ye Feng formed a Magic Technique with his hands, and the sky suddenly darkened with rolling clouds. A majestic Treasure Pagoda, radiating golden light, suddenly appeared above the void.
The Pagoda emitted an endless glow, enveloping the entire small mountain village underneath. Only then did people realize that they had been within the range of this pagoda's radiance all along—that is, everyone had been trapped inside this Great Formation.
The immense World Guard Pagoda, emitting sky-shaking might, kept descending. At first, the six supreme experts didn't care much, but as a wave after wave of overwhelming suppression, like mountains crashing down, came their way, they finally showed signs of alarm.
Even at the last, these six half-step Void Realm supreme experts found themselves suppressed and restrained, struggling to even move.
"What... what kind of Treasure is this? It's so terrifyingly powerful, I'm actually restrained!"
"Damn it, I'm restrained too. What do we do now!" In that moment, all six supreme experts panicked.
