Three days later, Ye Feng had used nearly 20,000 spirit leaves to clear the black mist from the nearly 70,000 to 80,000 people who had participated in the last battle.

When the battle began, everyone formed battle formations; only those outside were more severely affected by the corruption.

Later, the cult began using the blood of its followers to attack, which made the corruption even more severe.

To cure it, it would probably have required even greater costs.

The reason why 20,000 have been used so far is that the most severely affected people... have already passed away!

Inside the secret room, a world of ice and snow...

This is an array set up by Ling Fengxue using her supernatural powers.

*(&%*&^

"The black mist is now approaching the Chaotic Star Sea... If you hadn't arranged the evacuation in advance, the human race of the four regions would probably be gone by now!"

Ling Fengxue's bright eyes gazed at Ye Feng with deep affection.

"But the black mist is spreading rapidly, and it will probably cross the Chaotic Star Sea in a year or two..."

"While my spirit leaves have a restraining effect on evil energy, the area is so vast that countless ordinary people will suffer. Shouldn't we now shrink the human cities in the four regions inwards... and gather everyone together?"

Ye Feng patted Ling Fengxue's shoulder and said with some worry,

Although the vast expanse of black mist was much thinner than that within the evil cult, ordinary people who encountered it would only face certain death.

All four regions were afflicted by the evil mist, which encircled the planet.

Such a vast area could not possibly be entirely controlled by mortals!

...Perhaps, it was because the evil tree was unconscious that Ding Xiu was able to control and force out these black mists.

"There's no need to worry about that!"

"oh?"

Ye Feng sat up abruptly and looked at Ling Fengxue.

"As long as we activate the Heavenly Ladder in advance, we can solidify the formation! The evil energy will absolutely not be able to break through the Chaotic Star Sea and come from there!"

Heavenly Ladder

It is the treasure of Venerable Lingyu! A Xuanxian-level immortal artifact!

This treasure can not only regulate the earth's veins, but also form a domain to resist evil energy!

The Heavenly Ladder Battle is the key to gathering the human race's fortune and constructing a strengthened domain.

With this domain, we can stop the black mist from invading!

This is also why Ye Feng has difficulty effectively observing celestial phenomena in the Central Continent.

The entire Central Continent is actually beneath the domain of the Heavenly Ladder...

The Heavenly Ladder Realm is desirable, but it cannot be controlled by a master.

Just like in the previous battle, the evil cult itself was within the domain, and its evil energy arose from within, making it impossible to eliminate.

Moreover, the Heavenly Ladder Domain probably can't stop "Ding Xiu" who has already possessed a human body.

Although Ye Feng still had doubts, he was relieved to know that the black mist couldn't get over for the time being.

Come to think of it, if this method were effective, Wugensheng would probably have used it long ago.

Turning the world into darkness...where is there any chance of a "turnaround"?

The next morning, Ye Feng and Ling Fengxue arrived at the Thousand Yan Plain.

The Nine Venerable Hall shone brightly.

Several great immortals had been waiting for a long time!

This time, two additional seats were added to the hall to accommodate the two great immortals who had been rescued again.

All the venerable ones gathered,

Attendees:

Ye Feng, a disciple of the Five Elements Sect, is a fifth-level Loose Immortal.

Ice God Sect Commander Feng Xue, Seventh Level of Loose Immortal

Xu Shunyan of the Dayan Sword Sect, a fourth-level Loose Immortal.

Jian Wenlin, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, is a fifth-level Loose Immortal.

Lu Xiande of the Myriad Transformations Demon Sect, a sixth-level Loose Immortal.

Liang Wendao of the Hidden Sword Sect, fourth level of Loose Immortal; Li Mubai, third level of Loose Immortal.

Liu Tiejun of the Ghostly Nether Sect, a fourth-level Loose Immortal; Jia Ren, a fourth-level Loose Immortal.

Li Xiaoran of the Creation Sect, a fourth-level Loose Immortal.

Zhang Mingzhi of the Supreme Sect, a fourth-level Loose Immortal.

Although Liang Wendao and Liu Tiejun have not fully recovered, the evil energy in their bodies has been completely eliminated, and they are now completely unharmed.

Being able to enter the Nine Venerables Hall is itself proof that one has not been controlled by evil energy.

The two returned to their previous seats and immediately and solemnly thanked Ye Feng.

"Thank you, Immortal Venerable Shenye, for saving us!"

"If it weren't for Immortal Venerable Shenye, we would probably have been puppets for life, driven by Liu Miaolian!"

Ye Feng stood up and raised his hand to help him up.

"You two don't need to be so polite. The Nine Sects are of one mind and share the same roots, so it's only right that we help each other!"

Seeing their sincere gratitude, Ye Feng felt a little embarrassed.

The magical power within their bodies had been completely replaced by evil energy, making it extremely difficult to remove.

He could only use the laws of nature to condense two seeds, which he secretly integrated into the bodies of the two people...

Now the two of them no longer need to worry about being controlled by Liu Miaolian, but if Ye Feng wanted to, their situation would probably not be much different.

However, the Divine Tree species did not provoke rejection from the Nine Venerable Hall.

At least, there are differences between the two!

The sapling was formed entirely by supernatural forces, although Ye Feng didn't know its specific function.

But ultimately it belongs entirely to him and is under his control.

Perhaps, that evil tree branch is also someone's supernatural power!

Besides the two of them, the others also expressed their gratitude to Ye Feng.

After all, he treated cultivators from eight sects... all for free!

After a long exchange of pleasantries, Xu Shunyan, the host, took the lead and began today's agenda.

"Everyone, after a month of pursuit by Fellow Daoist Ye, the strange beast that plagued the universe has finally been eliminated!"

After Xu Shunyan finished speaking, the most surprised were Liu Tiejun and Liang Wendao.

These two had their consciousness completely sealed from the moment they were manipulated, and when they awoke, they had already arrived at the Five Elements Sect.

Ye Feng is currently at the fifth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Apart from revealing his cultivation level to Ling Fengxue earlier,

To others, he didn't appear to have changed much at all...

"Great! If it weren't for these strange beasts, we wouldn't have been captured by those bastards!"

"Now we can focus on dealing with these bastards from the evil god cult!"

"If only these strange beasts could be of use to us... What a pity!"

...

Xu Shunyan and the others digested the news before continuing.

"We still face two problems. One is that the evil energy from the south is spreading this way, and the other is Senior Wugensheng, who possessed Ding Xiu's body..."

When Wugensheng was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

The fact that the other party can spread evil energy is an unsolvable problem.

Regardless of his current cultivation level, back in the Evil God Cult, that one clone of his almost wiped out the entire army.

Let alone waiting for him to transcend his tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Venerable realm... even now, if anyone encountered him, they would only be able to run for their lives.

Since Wugensheng is afraid of Ye Feng's growth, this big problem naturally has to be solved by Ye Feng, the prophetic child.

"The spread of evil energy is easy to deal with. All the humans in the south have already moved away, so they can't be used as tools of faith anymore... If we're worried that they can cross the Chaotic Star Sea, we can just open the Heavenly Ladder now!"

"Excellent! The Heavenly Ladder itself has a repelling effect on evil energy. Once activated, the central domain will be strengthened and can definitely block it!"

"Let's vote now!"

...

The Hall of Nine Venerables is itself a manifestation of the core of the Heavenly Ladder, with nine venerable figures appearing on the thrones, voting one by one.

It passed unanimously!

At the same time, all sect tokens across the Central Continent received news that the Heavenly Ladder Battle had begun!

Once the Heavenly Ladder Battle ends and the level-based spirit veins are redistributed, the Heavenly Ladder Realm will restart.

By then, the Chaotic Star Sea will become even more chaotic... Even the Evil Mist won't be able to pass through easily!

With the matter of the evil mist resolved, everyone inevitably inquired about Ye Feng's cultivation level.

To defeat Wugensheng, one needs both spiritual leaf abilities and personal cultivation.

Ye Feng didn't hide anything and released his aura directly!

"Fifth level of Tribulation Transcending?!"

"My God, so fast!"

...

Even though Ye Feng could level up quickly in the past, he was still below the Immortal Venerable level and was of a different generation than everyone else.

But to be able to level up so quickly after reaching the Immortal Venerable realm... that can hardly be described as talent alone.

Only they know just how difficult it is to comprehend the laws!

While everyone was startled, they also felt a slight sense of relief, and even some excitement.

Perhaps, this problem with the sky barrier is really about to be solved!

Everyone can ascend to the immortal realm...

Just as everyone was speculating about how Ye Feng could advance so quickly,

Sitting next to Ling Fengxue, Jian Wenlin, the successor of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, suddenly spoke up to ask...

"Immortal Ye's spiritual leaves can subdue evil gods... I wonder what kind of tree produces these spiritual leaves? May we have a look?"
