A mysterious elder warns Ye Chenfeng about He Kongsheng's imminent ascension to the Eternal Life Realm, giving him just over two months to act. Ye Chenfeng learns of He Kongsheng's plan to sacrifice all cultivators in the Divine Origin Realm to achieve immortality. Despite the danger, Ye Chenfeng's allies, Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an, pledge their loyalty and join his newly formed Ye Sect. Returning to Sky Pole City, Ye Chenfeng sheds his disguise and publicly declares war on the He family.

Ye Chenfeng’s voice echoed endlessly in the air.

To annihilate the Hes in the Divine Origin Realm within three months? This made the strong figures standing outside the city gate feel utterly ridiculous.

How many years have passed since the Hes became a dominant family in the Upper World? And now a young brat comes out claiming to annihilate the Hes? It’s one thing to boast, but why insist on doing it within three months?

For the strong in the Upper World, three months is almost like a blink of an eye, considering some closed-door cultivation sessions last for decades, even tens of years.

These powerful figures had no idea that the Ye Sect was founded by Ye Chenfeng; had they known this earlier, they wouldn’t have come here at all. Their imposing aura soared one by one, but most of them were merely below the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm; only one had reached the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm.

Ye Chenfeng waved his arm.

The Barrier enveloping Sky Pole City was temporarily opened.

At the moment the Barrier opened, four silhouettes suddenly appeared beside Ye Chenfeng. They were naturally Lan Yun, Xue Ningsi, Cang Peng, and Chou Xiong.

Lan Yun and Xue Ningsi gently called to Ye Chenfeng, "Husband."

While Cang Peng and Chou Xiong respectfully called out, "Master."

Simultaneously, their aura of the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm subtly emerged, instantly intimidating the strong figures who had intended to join the Ye Sect, among whom only one individual possessed the cultivation of the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm.

However, the intimidating effect lasted only momentarily, as Ye Chenfeng’s declaration of war against the Hes seemed utterly ludicrous in their eyes — akin to smashing an egg against a rock for certain doom.

"You think having four strong figures at the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm entitles you to defy the Hes? Just so you know, all the Hes’ Five Shadows are at the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm."

A shout came from someone in the crowd.

It’s worth noting that the death of the Elder Five Shadow had been temporarily suppressed within a certain range, while the death of the Great Elder Shadow had not been widely spread here yet!

Prompted by this voice, the surrounding strong figures began speaking up; however, they refrained from mocking Ye Chenfeng, opting instead to question him.

"On what basis do you dare oppose the Hes? Are these four strong figures at the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm your only leverage? That’s far from enough to qualify. If we join your Ye Sect, wouldn’t we end up as mere sacrificial offerings?"

"Exactly, what confidence do you have to annihilate the Hes? The Hes is a dominant family in the Upper World, while your Ye Sect is merely a newly established Sect."

...

Amidst a chorus of questioning voices, Lan Yun and Xue Ningsi furrowed their brows.

Yet Ye Chenfeng remained remarkably composed, aware that to oppose the Hes within such a short time frame, he needed substantial support — relying solely on himself to uproot the Hes in such a short span was practically impossible. To convince these people, he had to demonstrate his strength.

Just when Ye Chenfeng was about to speak, an Elder at the Initial Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm among those originally intending to join the Ye Sect suddenly changed his expression, as the Communication Jade Token at his waist began flashing. He uttered an incredulous voice: "Impossible, how is it possible? The Hes’ Elder Five Shadow has already died, and the other Four Shadows perished in the Valley of Divine Instruments, all because of that boy wanted by the Hes."

Unexpectedly, this news would arrive here at that moment.

And so.

Those strong figures seemed as if they had seen a ghost, having lingered here for days without prior knowledge of external affairs. They promptly took out their communication tools to inquire friends not present here whether they had heard the news.

As each received responses from their friends, their expressions were colorful.

"It’s actually true? All the Hes’ Five Shadows are dead, all because of that boy wanted by the Hes."

"In the Valley of Divine Instruments, the legacy of the Five Supreme Artifact Refiners from the Chaos Era emerged as well? Moreover, it was acquired by the boy wanted by the Hes."

...

Various discussions continued.

In the Valley of Divine Instruments, many Artifact Refiners survived, so Ye Chenfeng had already anticipated that the news would eventually spread.

Only he hadn’t expected such coincidence; he was right about to expand his influence!

Ye Chenfeng laughed: "All the information you received is true. The Hes’ Five Shadows intended to kill me, yet ultimately, it was they who met their demise. And I am indeed a genuine Supreme Artifact Refiner; I have truly acquired the legacy of the Five Supreme Refiners from the Chaos Era. I dare say in artifact refining, in the entire Divine Origin Realm, if I claim second, none dared claim first."

"The Hes’ Five Shadows, in the eyes of you in the Upper World, are they considered mighty figures? Are they an indispensable force within the Hes?"

"Yet, look at how it turned out! All the Hes’ Five Shadows perished; when I say I want to annihilate the Hes completely, it’s not just idle talk."

"Why did I dare to let the word out that our Ye Sect can provide Elixirs and weapons, even Supreme Elixirs and Immortal Artifacts?"

"Because I am not only a Supreme Artifact Refiner but also a Supreme Alchemist."

"As long as you perform outstandingly for the Ye Sect, I can craft Supreme Elixirs and Immortal Artifacts for you, for I possess numerous recipes that can directly enable breakthroughs."

Those strong figures initially coming to join the Ye Sect experienced regrets upon learning Ye Chenfeng’s identity; being briefly subdued by the emergence of Lan Yun and others; then raising doubts against Ye Chenfeng, mocking his aspirations as sheer folly.

Finally, upon hearing of the death of the Five Shadows and the news of Ye Chenfeng acquiring the legacy of the Five Supreme Artifact Refiners, these strong figures were plunged into shock.

But right at this moment.

Ye Chenfeng revealed not only his identity as a Supreme Artifact Refiner but also as a Supreme Alchemist.

After such a sequence.

All the strong figures present were thoroughly astonished, completely subdued.

"The opportunity comes only once; you can join the Ye Sect now."

"Before joining the Ye Sect, all of you must swear by your Martial Heart, pledging undying loyalty to the Ye Sect from now on."

"Starting today, I announce here that every strong figure joining at the Divine Emperor Realm will receive a Supreme Elixir."

"Consider this as a gift for your joining the Ye Sect! As for strong figures below the Divine Emperor Realm, you can also receive a Ninth Grade Elixir."

Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and continued: "I’ve said all that needed to be said; now it’s your turn to choose."

"Life is like a gamble. Are you willing to take a bet, perhaps leading to unexpected benefits for yourself?"

"Of course, you can immediately turn around and leave. But I doubt there is anyone else in the entire Divine Origin Realm capable of crafting the Elixirs and weapons I can make."
