"A bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

Ye Feng smirked, just letting out a hum, and those Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses dropped dead on the spot.

Then, Ye Feng released his Divine Sense to scan the area.

Not only were there many ancient cities built by Cosmic Sea creatures around this battlefield, but numerous powerhouses were also stationed near passages to various universes.

It could be said that this place had already fallen.

Almost all the universes connected to this Outer Domain Battlefield had been defeated, and some were even captured, becoming bases for the Abyss Clan to cultivate powerhouses.

Of course, the Twin Universe had not yet fallen.

"Perhaps, other than the Twin Universe, some universes haven’t fallen yet either."

Ye Feng speculated.

"Bold native creature of the universe, how dare you obliterate our Abyss Clan soldiers! Capture him!"

Before Ye Feng could continue scouting the surroundings, a pressure at the Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Realm level erupted from a distant ancient city, followed by a voice full of anger.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Hundreds of figures charged out, all of them Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses, each with a special Abyss mark engraved on their foreheads, capable of merging their powers into one to form a powerful formation.

In an instant.

Ye Feng was surrounded by these hundreds of Immortal Emperors who unabashedly unleashed their formation, creating a special force field comparable to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable pressure.

"Interesting, I could learn a thing or two."

Ye Feng glanced around, intrigued by the combined formation used by the Abyss Clan soldiers.

"Which universe are you a native of?"

"Twin Universe, or Tuoba Universe? Or perhaps, the Holy Spirit Universe?"

Some Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors questioned.

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and said: "The universes you mentioned, are only these few that haven’t been captured by you yet?"

"To ask like that, it seems you should know the situation of this battlefield," sneered an Abyss Clan Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor War General.

"Alas, it seems I can’t get much out of you with words. I’ll have to resort to soul-searching," Ye Feng shook his head.

"Soul-searching? Hahaha... You native creature of the universe, I’m afraid you can’t even break our Killing Array, and you think you can soul-search us? Boys, when you capture this one, give him a good torture."

"Alright, kill him!"

The hundreds of Abyss Clan soldiers shouted excitedly, eyes full of mockery and ferocity, not taking a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor Realm cultivator seriously at all.

However, in the next instant.

Ye Feng formed his fingers into a sword and slashed down fiercely, easily cleaving through the Killing Array that could trap a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, just with the Sword Qi emanating from his fingertips.

"What’s going on?"

The hundreds of Abyss Clan soldiers were dumbfounded, as if seeing their long-deceased ancestors dance on their graves in broad daylight.

"Die!" Ye Feng, indifferent to the expressions of the crowd, struck without hesitation, and in an instant, the hundreds of Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors present were all killed.

Sparse memories fragments scattered.

Ye Feng seized the opportunity to absorb some of them and soon learned the intelligence of this Outer Domain Battlefield.

Many years ago, this battlefield still had many powerful universes, with numerous powerhouses appearing to jointly resist the Abyss Clan army from the Cosmic Sea.

But, several years ago.

The Abyss Clan dispatched over a dozen Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, along with numerous Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor armies capable of deploying Killing Arrays, directly sweeping through this battlefield.

Since then, the Outer Domain Battlefield has fallen.

Every universe fought alone.

Over time, most universes were overrun by the Abyss Clan army, becoming gardens to cultivate powerhouses for the Abyss Clan, akin to puppets.

However, there were still a few high-grade Great Universes with super powerhouses internally, holding back the invasion.

This included the Twin Universe.

To completely capture these universes, the Abyss Clan constructed several cities on the beach, with powerhouses cultivated in other universes ascending here to form a powerful army, ready to invade the universes at any time.

Ye Feng glanced around.

He even saw a large army of Blue Shark People in an ancient city, whose ancestors once invaded the Tengang Continent of the Twin Universe.

"That’s odd..."

Although it was confirmed that the Tengang Continent could lead to this completely different Outer Domain Battlefield, Ye Feng had heard that each universe could only connect to one Outer Domain Battlefield, so why could the Twin Universe connect to two different Outer Domain Battlefields simultaneously?

Thinking of this, he began a deduction.

Soon, Ye Feng concluded.

The Twin Universe has two semi-universes, equivalent to twin yolks; each semi-universe can be seen as a yolk, considered an independent universe, so each universe has a corresponding universe passage, leading to different Outer Domain Battlefields.

"So that’s how it is!"

Ye Feng realized, finally understanding why the Tengang Continent and Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom connected to different Outer Domain Battlefields. But since both semi-universes belong to the Twin Universe, the universe passage code is 426.

"In the future, we can codename the Twin Universe as 426, right?" Ye Feng thought to himself.

Commonly known as: Universe 426.

"Damn native of Universe 426!"

Sure enough, as Ye Feng slew those hundreds of Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor-level Abyss Clan soldiers, someone in the ancient cities on the beach immediately shouted this.

"It really is Universe 426!" Ye Feng laughed.

There were many stationed in these ancient cities, with tens of thousands in each, the weakest being the Eighty-two-layered Immortal Emperor Realm, and the total number of Hundred-layered Immortals exceeding ten thousand.

Even the Half-Step Heavenly Venerables numbered ten.

In an instant, ten Half-Step Heavenly Venerables commanded over ten thousand Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor armies to charge out, followed by an army of over a million of Immortal Emperor-level, surrounding Ye Feng.

"Another one from Universe 426."

"This person truly deserves to die!"

"A mere Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, yet he can wipe out a squad of ours with one sword strike; he must have a powerful Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon. We must be careful."

The ten Half-Step Heavenly Venerables analyzed the situation among themselves.

Universe 426 has always been a thorn in their side, failing repeatedly despite multiple attacks.

Someone once escaped back.

Afterwards, they learned that within Universe 426, there is an Ancient Battlefield. Once the army enters it, they would be slaughtered by several God-King Level powerhouses.

If they dispatched stronger beings, a tower on that battlefield would unleash terrifying Sword Qi.

Even a top Supreme God would be slain.

The people didn’t know that the tower is actually the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon Army-Destroyer Sword Spear, and thought it was just a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon.

Therefore, they believed that the dashing young man in front of them must have brought that Divine Weapon.

"A Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon?" Ye Feng showed a mischievous grin as the Primordial Sword Embryo on his back unsheathed automatically, releasing sharp Sword Intent, "Are you referring to the sword behind me? Yes, it’s called the Primordial Sword Embryo, truly a mighty sword."

"It’s indeed a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon!"

"However, a mere Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, even with a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon, what can you do? We have ten Half-Step Heavenly Venerables and over ten thousand Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors capable of forming a Killing Array."

The ten Half-Step Heavenly Venerables laughed heartily.

Ye Feng chuckled and said, "Ten thousand Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors, just in sheer numbers, can rival a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable. If they all unleash the formation together, they surely can contend with a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, you indeed have the capital to boast."

No wonder this battlefield was captured.

With power comparable to a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, how could other universes reclaim this place?

Even with a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon in hand, it’s hard to sweep this battlefield unless a true Quasi-Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse intervenes. But, is there anyone like that in the universe?

Once a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable appears, they rarely continue fighting for the universe, preferring to ascend.

"Kid, state your name, we don’t kill nameless folks, hahahaha!"

A Half-Step Heavenly Venerable sneered.

In his view, after killing Ye Feng and seizing the Primordial Sword Embryo from his hands, it might be possible to smoothly conquer Universe 426.

And this would be a great merit.

"Remember, the one who kills you is the Misty Holy Sect Leader, Ye Feng."

"Hahaha, just you..."

A Half-Step Heavenly Venerable pointed at Ye Feng, clutching his belly with laughter, his eyes full of ridicule, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly widened his eyes.

The others were equally terrified.

Just because a sharp sword light flashed through the void at lightning speed, cleaving this arrogant Half-Step Heavenly Venerable in two.

"So... so terrifying!"

Before dying, the person was filled with regret and shock.

"Not good, it’s a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon!"

"Quick, form the formation!"

The remaining people shouted, as tens of thousands of Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors and millions of Immortal Emperor soldiers quickly gathered, activating the runic imprints on their brows, forming a brilliant light screen that surrounded Ye Feng and the remaining eight Half-Step Heavenly Venerables.

"The power of the heavens, join me!"

The eight Half-Step Heavenly Venerables shouted, merging the power of the formation into their bodies, forming a formation within a formation, bringing their power infinitely close to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, and together, they could directly surpass half a major realm to directly confront a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

"Not a bad formation." Ye Feng nodded in praise.

Honestly, he took a fancy to this formation and had already analyzed it with the Eye of Insight, quickly deducing it in his mind, not in a hurry to break the formation.

"Attack!"

The eight Half-Step Heavenly Venerables simultaneously reached out, destructive beams of light surged from their palms, all aimed at Ye Feng.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

Ye Feng swung the Primordial Sword Embryo, slicing down with one sword, using the cultivation level of Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor to dissolve their power.

"Surely it is a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon!"

The eight Half-Step Heavenly Venerables shouted. If the Primordial Sword Embryo weren’t a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon, how could it confront them?

"Everyone, don’t worry, this person is merely at the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level, using a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon must surely be in an overburdened state, he can’t last long."

"Wear him out, seize the Primordial Sword Embryo!"

This group of Half-Step Heavenly Venerables howled, their eyes filled with ecstatic joy, as if seeing themselves killing Ye Feng and obtaining the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon, the Primordial Sword Embryo.

Rumble!

More and more destructive beams were launched, but all were effortlessly neutralized by Ye Feng, appearing evenly matched.

In fact, Ye Feng was deducing the formation.

Half an hour later.

"Strange, how can this person sustain a high-load activation of a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon for so long?"

"Don’t panic, this person is already at the end of his rope, merely enduring." they all spoke successively.

"Phew, finally got it." At this point, Ye Feng had fully analyzed the entire formation and deduced an identical mental method suitable for Sect Disciples.

The next moment.

He gripped the Primordial Sword Embryo tightly, the corners of his mouth turning upward, finally unleashing his full pressure, giving off a palpitation akin to facing a top Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

"No... no good!"

"This person... is a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable!"

The eight Half-Step Heavenly Venerables were dumbfounded; they had never expected Ye Feng was not a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor but a genuine Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, no wonder he could endure so long.

"A Quasi-Heavenly Venerable? You could think of it that way."

Ye Feng shrugged.

His cultivation level was still at the first hundred layers of the Creation Realm, but his foundation was unimaginably profound. Alongside the absorption of many cosmic fragments at the Cosmic Graveyard, his power had further advanced, making him indistinguishable from a top Quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

"Ultimate Origin Qi Slash!"

Ye Feng took a deep breath, directly deploying the killing move.

Clang!

Ten thousand swords chimed in unison, a dazzlingly transparent Sword Qi, thin as a cicada’s wing, slashed down brutally, effortlessly cleaving through the formation forged by millions of soldiers.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Immortal Emperors fell.

Even two of the Half-Step Heavenly Venerables perished due to the Sword Qi’s impact.

"Hiss!"

The remaining people gasped in shock.

"It’s over!"

This thought simultaneously emerged in their minds.

"Indeed, you are finished." Ye Feng raised the Primordial Sword Embryo, continuing his assault, toppling one Half-Step Heavenly Venerable after another, with mere shockwaves alone obliterating Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors, slaughtering tens of thousands, more terrifying than supreme Demon Gods.

Half an hour later.

On the beach.

Blood bathed the snow-white sands, with various messy corpses lying across the ground, the ocean, and high peaks, piled into stacks.

On a reef.

Ye Feng stood there, holding the sword single-handedly, the blade unstained by blood, yet brilliantly radiant.

"These people were too weak."

Ye Feng murmured to himself.

He hadn’t used his full strength, yet effortlessly killed ten Half-Step Heavenly Venerables and over a million Immortal Emperors. If he fought with all his might, beneath a Heavenly Venerable, he would be unmatched.

Of course, that’s in the Cosmic Sea.

If he went to the Origin of All Things, there were formidable Quasi-Heavenly Venerables there whose combat strength might reach several to dozens of times that of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme.

Such Quasi-Heavenly Venerables were extremely frightening.

Even now, Ye Feng, speaking solely of combat power, might not be able to defeat them.

After all, he was just a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor.

If he could transform his small universe into a formidable Lower Rank Great Universe and his cultivation level entered the Half-Step Heavenly Venerable tier, whether in the Origin of All Things or the Cosmic Sea, Ye Feng dared to claim he could kill any Quasi-Heavenly Venerable prodigy.

Even if they had Heavenly Venerable Level methods.

"Now that I’ve controlled this Outer Domain Battlefield, it’s time to have a look at the ancient city."

Ye Feng turned and walked towards the distant ancient city.

As for the corpses of those Abyss Clan soldiers, Ye Feng chose to refine them with the Myriad Spirits Treasure Vase, which could condense a large number of Law Origin Crystals for nurturing disciples.

In an ancient city.

This place spanned over a dozen miles, looking small enough to stroll through in a short while, with numerous uniformly aligned structures inside serving as residences for powerhouses.

Within were stored many ancient texts.

Any Immortal Emperor coming here would feel as though entering a Holy Land of cultivation.

"Not bad!"

Ye Feng decided to transform this Outer Domain Battlefield into an outpost base for the Misty Holy Sect, with Half-Step Heavenly Venerable level disciples stationed for defense here.

If any cultivators trained by the Abyss Clan ascended from the universe, they would be slain.

If Cosmic Sea powerhouses came over, they would also be slain.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng began the transformation.
