"Rest easy, Iāll be back before the ice cube completely melts!" Ye Fei lightly kissed Liu Yunāer on the cheek, then, with a flicker of his body, he vanished from everyoneās sight.
The person Ye Fei had sensed through telepathy was indeed powerful and exuded hostility, but his approach was slow. By the time Ye Fei actively intercepted him, they were already out of the city. They eventually met in a very open area, which might have been deliberately arranged by the other party.
When Ye Fei laid eyes on the man, he was taken aback. He had been certain that the person he sensed was the so-called God of Life because this individualās power far exceeded that of the Four Gods. He was almost on par with Kong Ling and Hai Xiner. In the United States, there could only be two people with such strength in Ye Feiās mind.
One was the leader of the Holy War Organization, the God of Life, and the other was someone from the powerful organization that spanned countless dimensions, whom Ye Fei had only guessed at.
However, if that person were only this strong, Kong Ling would have found and eliminated him long ago. Thus, the identity of the man before him became clear.
Before meeting the God of Life, Ye Fei had imagined him to be an androgynous, ageless figure. But upon seeing him, Ye Fei was utterly surprised. Standing before him was a Western old man, less than one meter sixty in height, extremely thin, and with a repulsive appearance.
Nevertheless, despite his appearance, Ye Fei was convinced that this was the God of Life. He sensed an immense vitality emanating from him, but this life force felt extremely eerie.
Typically, someone with such a surging life force would invigorate all life around them, making it more prosperous. However, this so-called God of Life was the exact opposite. His own vitality was overwhelmingly strong, yet he did not emit any of it.
Instead, he continuously absorbed life energy from the surroundings. For instance, the small patch of forest beneath his hovering feet should have been lush and full of leaves in spring, but because of his presence, it had withered leaves as if it were autumn.
"Are you the leader of the Holy War Organization, the God of Life?" Ye Fei stopped ten meters away from the repulsive old man, who was a far cry from his imagination, and asked.
"Young man, youāre quite clever," the God of Life sneered, revealing a set of yellowed teeth and letting out a dry, cackling laugh.
"However, youāre not clever enough. You killed my Four Gods and still dared to come to my turf. It seems your family never taught you how to write the word ādeathā!"
Ye Fei was left speechless. It seemed Leona was right; this guy was incredibly arrogant, not taking Ye Fei seriously at all. The more arrogant someone was, the more Ye Fei wanted to take them down a notch. So he said, "If youāre so powerful, why donāt you go to Longguo and kill me? Oh, I get it. Youāre probably afraid that crossing the boundary will get you taken down by the Three Guardians."
Hearing this, the God of Lifeās withered face twitched, clearly infuriated. After a moment, he let out another dry laugh and said, "Young man, I was going to let you live a little longer, but now youāve successfully angered me. Prepare to say goodbye to this world!"
"Perfect, thatās exactly what I was thinking. My wedding banquet is ongoing right now. Where do I have the time to waste on you, you old bastard?" Ye Fei sneered, then, in a flash, he was behind the God of Life, holding the repulsive old manās head in his hand, having forcefully torn it off his body.
But when Ye Fei turned around, he was stunned. On the God of Lifeās scrawny body, a new head identical to the one Ye Fei was holding had instantly grown back.
The God of Life let out another cackle, "I must admit, I severely underestimated you. I didnāt expect your strength to surpass that of the Three Guardians, but so what? I am the God of Life. Any life force in this world can be converted into my energy. As long as this world doesnāt collapse, no one can kill me. Not the Three Guardians, and certainly not you!"
Ye Fei casually tossed the disgusting head aside, then stood with his hands behind his back, laughing easily, "So what? Your strength is so weak that you pose no threat to me at all. At best, youāre just a super durable punching bag. I could keep you around and beat you up whenever Iām feeling frustrated."
After witnessing Ye Feiās true strength, the God of Life had already considered retreating. If he were to leave now, Ye Fei wouldnāt pursue him further.
Although they were from opposing forces, he was, after all, a person of this world and possessed such formidable power. If that mysterious force were to invade, it would be beneficial to join forces with him against the common enemy, adding an extra bit of strength.
However, some people just love to court disaster. Take the God of Life, for instance. He had already admitted defeat, but he couldnāt let go of his pride and thus uttered a series of extremely provocative words: "Your strength may be formidable, but I donāt believe your loved ones possess the same level of power. Just wait and see how they will die one by one. Unless you stay by their side every moment or keep chasing after me, heh, I may not be able to match you in strength, but when it comes to patience, not even ten of you could compare!"
Upon hearing these words from the God of Life, Ye Feiās heart was instantly filled with murderous intent. Although he knew that this was likely just a bluff, he was not willing to take the risk. Even if there was only a one in a billion chance, he had to nip it in the bud and eliminate any potential threat to his loved ones and the women he cherished.
With a roar of fury, Ye Fei suddenly activated his transformation. In an instant, he changed from a handsome young man into a three-meter-tall, grotesque giant. He then swiftly moved beside the God of Life and grabbed him by the neck.
"Heh, youāve transformed? Not bad, your strength has indeed increased, but so what? You can pulverize me, and Iāll still be able to resurrect in the blink of an eye.
Unless your power is so immense that it can directly destroy this world," the God of Life laughed triumphantly, though inside he was quite frustrated. Ye Fei was just too powerful. He couldnāt even dodge, let alone counterattack, against Ye Feiās assault.
Ye Fei bared his fangs and growled, "I may not be able to destroy the world, but I can take you to another one!"
"That wonāt work either. As long as there is life, I am immortal," the God of Life cackled.
"Then letās go to a place where there is no life!" Ye Fei bellowed. With his right hand still clutching the God of Life, he casually sliced through the air with his left hand, tearing open a large rift in space. This rift did not connect to any world; it led directly to the boundless chaos.
"Crazy man, youāre insane! Close it now, or not only will I die, but you wonāt survive either!" Seeing the spatial rift and feeling its powerful suction, the God of Lifeās expression finally changed. He shouted and struggled desperately, but his strength was far inferior to Ye Feiās, making his struggles futile.
"If we canāt live, then letās die together!" Ye Fei roared again, then thrust the God of Life and his own right arm into the spatial rift.
"Ahāā" Even with Ye Feiās iron will, he couldnāt help but scream in pain when he inserted his arm into the spatial rift. He quickly yanked it back and hastily closed the rift.
His right arm had been in and out in less than half a second, but Ye Feiās entire arm was already lacerated and bleeding, with some places even exposing the white bone. This made him shudder in fear. He hadnāt expected the chaos energy to be so fierce.
Even his body, tempered by the Myriad Heavenly Tribulations, couldnāt withstand it. If he had reacted a moment slower, he might have lost his entire right arm.
Enduring the intense pain, Ye Fei took out a Comprehensive Recovery Pill and swallowed it. In a short while, his right arm was restored to its original state. He then felt that after being cleansed by the chaos energy, his right arm had become even stronger.
Despite this, Ye Fei had no intention of doing it again. It was simply gambling with his life. Until he figured out how to withstand the chaos energy, he didnāt want to take such a risk again.
