Chapter 769: The Great Victory at the Meteor River

After Ye Feng and his two companions joined the battle, the situation became overwhelmingly one-sided. Ye Feng’s strength had surpassed that of the Four Kings from the Outer Lands, and he had even managed to kill one of them, as well as the third elder of the Devouring Clan, whose power was even greater than that of the Four Kings. Luo Yan and Jin Wen also possessed strength comparable to Ye Feng’s, armed with attack weapons of forbidden treasure grade—truly formidable combatants.

After two battles, Ye Feng’s defensive forbidden treasures had been exposed, but his offensive ones had yet to be used. The Eye of Heavenly Punishment was hidden even deeper, with no one noticing anything unusual. He also hadn’t utilized his stacked divine powers yet, meaning he still had many cards in hand. Once he entered the battlefield, it was like a wolf among sheep. In just one hour, the Outer Lands camp suffered heavy casualties.

“Retreat!” Seeing the situation turn grim, Shi Hun decisively withdrew from the battle circle with the Immortal and ordered a retreat.

“Only now do you think to retreat?” A deep voice suddenly rang out behind him.

He turned around to find it was Ye Feng. His heart tightened, and he immediately rushed back.

“Want to escape? You’ll have to ask me first!” Ye Feng snapped. “Time Stop!”

Shi Hun’s body froze instantly. Without hesitation, Ye Feng sent a finger strike straight at the opponent’s dantian.

“Dare you, kid!” A fierce shout came from the sky, causing Ye Feng’s finger strike to dissipate instantly. His eardrums hurt, and as he looked up in dizziness, he saw a claw approaching.

Ye Feng quickly retreated, knowing full well that the old man Shi Mo’s attack could kill him.

“Hmph, Shi Mo, you do have some courage—enduring my attack just to save your clan leader,” came the distant voice of Heaven. In an instant, that claw was shattered by a punch, relieving Ye Feng’s crisis.

“Hmph! Today, I’ll risk severe injuries just to kill this boy!” The old man Shi Mo knew that if he delayed any longer, he might not be able to match Ye Feng in the future. On this battlefield, only he in the Outer Lands camp could kill Ye Feng. If he missed this chance, he might have to wait until Shi Xuan advanced—who knew when that would be. By then, if Ye Feng grew stronger, even he might not be able to suppress him, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. His sleeves swayed as dozens of sword shadows, formed from the Imperial Demon Vine, hid within them. Waiting for the opponent’s attack, Ye Feng would combine his two swords and use stacked divine powers to block it.

The Demon Devouring Old Man fought against Heaven’s Will once again as if possessed by madness. Yet, taking advantage of a gap in Heaven’s Will’s attacks, he endured another strike from it. A dark finger shot out, aiming straight at Ye Feng.
Heaven’s Will reached out to save him, but was blocked once more.
The warriors of the human faction cried out in shock, while those from the foreign faction cheered. Everyone knew of the Demon Devouring Old Man’s strength—his level 830 divine powers would ensure certain death for anyone caught in their path.
What puzzled everyone was that Ye Feng, who should have retreated to avoid the attack, stood motionless in place, with fierce sword intent hidden within his fluttering sleeves.
In an instant, Ye Feng shook his sleeves, and two beams of sword light merged together before shooting forth, countering the opponent’s finger strike.
“Boom!” The two attacks collided in an instant, unleashing immense energy that turned into a blinding light, instantly obscuring Ye Feng’s figure.
Everyone’s pupils constricted, yet they still couldn’t see anything through the bright light.
After about ten breaths, the light gradually faded, revealing a figure before them. His robe rustled, and his long hair blew back in the wind. His clothes were untouched, and he stood proudly in place, not taking a single step back.
The foreign faction was stunned—Ye Feng had actually withstood the Demon Devouring Old Man’s strike, shattering their belief in his invincibility.
Many in the human faction were moved to tears. “Our human faction is finally rising again…”
At that moment, Ye Feng spoke up, “Demon Devouring, you can’t kill me! In this battle, you foreigners have already lost!”
“Hmph, you’re lucky today!” came the cold snort of the Demon Devouring Old Man, who had already withdrawn from the fight against Heaven’s Will.
Heaven’s Will didn’t pursue either; instead, it appeared beside Ye Feng to prevent the Demon Devouring Old Man from attacking again.
The Demon Devouring Old Man cast a cold glance at Heaven’s Will before fixing his stare on Ye Feng. After a long pause, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s retreat!”
Although many had come from the foreign faction, they retreated swiftly. In just a few breaths, they vanished without a trace.
All eyes turned to Ye Feng in the human faction.
“Ye Feng! Ye Feng! Ye Feng…” People cheered his name, celebrating the emergence of another strong warrior for their faction.
“Hehe…” Ye Feng smiled broadly. “It’s all thanks to everyone!”

“This time, it’s really thanks to you—you really dealt a heavy blow to them,” Tian Dao praised generously. “That old guy Shi Mo took two fierce attacks but gained nothing in return. And my attacks weren’t any easier for him to endure; even with the most powerful artifact that accelerates time, it will take him decades to recover.”
“If it weren’t for all of you, I wouldn’t have had the chance to take them down one by one, let alone kill Xue Wuhen and Shi Ying,” Ye Feng said truthfully. If the many strong warriors from the Outer Lands attacked together, Ye Feng would truly struggle to make a dent. “It’s a shame I couldn’t kill Shi Hun…”
“Shi Hun is mine. Next time, you’re not allowed to snatch him away,” Bu Sou said with a smile as he patted Ye Feng’s shoulder. “Your focus now shouldn’t be on Shi Hun but on that old guy Shi Mo. Surpassing him is what truly matters. As for Shi Hun, leave it to us.”
“Mm,” Ye Feng nodded firmly.
“Also, after this battle, the Outer Lands will be severely weakened and unlikely to cause trouble for a while,” Bu Sou continued. “If they declare war again, it will probably be the day Shi Xuan emerges. If he truly succeeds in creating a supreme realm within his own universe, it will be a catastrophe for our human faction.”
“That’s why I’ve decided to enter seclusion starting today. All matters related to the human faction will be handled by Bu Sou, Sword Emperor, and Zhen Wu, with Ye Feng as an assistant. Since Ye Feng also needs time for self-cultivation, he will temporarily serve only as an assistant,” Tian Dao announced in front of the many strong warriors.
“I’d better just focus on cultivating honestly. I’ve never been cut out to be a leader,” Ye Feng said shyly.
“When you reach the level of a top-tier warrior, you should naturally take on the responsibility of prospering the human faction,” Tian Dao said seriously, placing a hand on Ye Feng’s shoulder.
Feeling the weight on his shoulder, Ye Feng stopped resisting and nodded firmly. “I will.”
“Go back and sort out your personal matters first!” Bu Sou winked at Ye Feng. “I’ll accompany you to the Shangguan family.”
“That sounds interesting. Let’s join in too,” Zhen Wu and Sword Emperor, two warriors no less powerful than Bu Sou, stepped forward as well.
“Uh…” Ye Feng looked helpless. “I can handle it myself. There’s no need to trouble everyone.”
“More people make it more lively!” Bu Sou grabbed Ye Feng and vanished from the spot, with the others following one after another.
