CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 79: ISOLATION_2

...

Wen Yu was truly grateful that, so far, flying Demon Fiends had not swarmed out of the Demon Realm’s Gate in large quantities.

In the organization of the Demon Tribe Army, flying Demon Fiends generally served as scouts. However, without an ’air force,’ Star could dominate the airspace, launch sudden attacks, and directly descend into the heart of the Demon Group!

That’s right. By commanding Star, Wen Yu was targeting precisely the area with the highest concentration of Demon Fiends.

The resounding dragon’s roar echoed from afar. Even before the sound dissipated, Star’s colossal body had already crashed into the middle of the Demon Group!

Dragon’s Aura Field (S-Class, Active Skill) activated!

Dragon Blood Amplification (SSS-Class, Active Ability) activated!

Shell Breaking Storm (S-class, Active Ability) activated!

Under the combined effect of these three abilities, the lethality of Shell Breaking Storm was magnified to its peak!

Countless pitch-black scales whipped up a storm of death, completely crushing all living entities within a nearly 200-meter radius around Star’s body!

Then, the scales that had fallen from Star’s body rapidly grew back. The next moment, its enormous, fierce mouth opened wide, and a beam of crimson blaze wildly sprayed out, accompanied by the lingering black Shell Breaking Storm. Within the blink of an eye, all Demon Fiends within a 200-meter radius centered on Star were completely wiped out!

This was the lethality of a divine beast!

It was true that recently, Star had primarily served as a tool for augmenting skills. However, no one could deny that Star itself was a formidable divine beast, specializing in frontal assaults and possessing terrifying group-killing abilities!

When facing these low-grade demonic creatures, Star was an absolute killing machine!

Even before Star landed, Wen Yu had leaped off Star’s back with Faceless, charging towards a Peak Level 4 Ancient Demon!

...

"Faceless, protect me!"

Wen Yu rapidly conveyed battle directives to Faceless through the Soul Connection, ignoring Star’s brutal slaughter in the distance and the rising black flames in the outer perimeter. His eyes were focused on the Peak Level 4 Ancient Demon he had just targeted as he launched the Soul Battlefield!

An odd sensation flashed through the depths of Wen Yu’s Soul. He felt as if he had turned into a ray of light, instantly rushing into the Ancient Demon’s body!

In the outside world, upon seeing Wen Yu transform into a beam of light and rush into the Ancient Demon’s body, Faceless pushed off with his legs. He quickly lunged at the now motionless Ancient Demon, his fists flashing, swiftly eliminating the surrounding Demon Fiends.

Then, a vibrant yellow light surged from his hands. The next moment, Faceless vigorously slammed his hands onto the ground.

Visible ripples emanated from Faceless’s hands, spreading out instantly. A massive rock barrier then rose around Faceless and the Ancient Demon, encasing them in solid protection!

Wen Yu was unsure what impact it would have on him if the target unit’s body was destroyed while he was inside its Soul.

Wen Yu dared not gamble...

Even if there was a ninety-nine percent chance of him surviving unscathed, a one percent chance of dying and taking two lives with him was a risk Wen Yu wouldn’t dare take!

The best method was to have a qualified bodyguard by his side when launching the Soul Battlefield—his own soul pet fit the bill perfectly!

...

Inside the Soul Battlefield.

The Ancient Demon looked around in astonishment at the pure-white space it was in, until a bullet struck its fingertip!

"ROAR!!!"

Piercing shrieks and furious roars resounded. Then, starting from the bullet-ridden fingertip, the Ancient Demon’s body shattered like glass, piece by piece. In less than a second, its Soul Body had disintegrated into ethereal white light particles under the power of the Soul Strike.

Next, as the victor’s reward, the white light particles quickly poured into Wen Yu’s body, augmenting his Soul Strength.

The Soul Body of a Peak Level 4 Ancient Demon granted Wen Yu 5 physique points.

The effect was quite considerable...

However, Wen Yu’s true purpose lay elsewhere!

As expected, was the power gap too large?

Wen Yu sighed lightly, then was promptly teleported out of the Soul Battlefield.

...

In the outside world, the Ancient Demon’s body shuddered, then swiftly collapsed and reformed. In a mere instant, the Ancient Demon’s body vanished, replaced by Wen Yu’s figure.

This was the fate of a loser in the Soul Battlefield: complete destruction of both soul and body!

Wen Yu stood rooted to the spot, his brow furrowed in deep contemplation of the previous battle. After a while, he lifted his head and directed a Spiritual Fluctuation towards Faceless.

The rock wall instantly crumbled into sand. Then, lightning flashed across the sky. In the next second, endless thunderbolts streaked down, instantly transforming the area around Wen Yu and Faceless into a vast pool of lightning!

After clearing the Demon Fiends from this area, Wen Yu squinted slightly, carefully searching for his next prey.

...

Wen Yu wasn’t here merely to increase his Soul Strength; he was genuinely preparing to rescue Victor and the others.

The scene from the battlefield between the two realms was still vivid in Wen Yu’s mind...

If the rules within this barrier were indeed similar to those of the battlefield between the two realms, once he entered, he might become everyone’s nightmare!

If that happened, even Wen Yu himself would find himself in an extremely awkward predicament!

Therefore, before attempting the rescue, Wen Yu had to find a Demon Fiend capable of communication to inquire about the nature of this barrier!

After a moment, Wen Yu, accompanied by Faceless, dashed off in a specific direction.

...

Inside the Soul Battlefield.

Wen Yu gently crushed the fingers of the early-stage Level 5 Soot Skin Demon Fiend in front of him.

In a non-combat state, and with such subtle attack movements, he had somehow managed not to completely obliterate the early-stage Level 5 Demon Fiend before him!

"Can you understand human language?"

Wen Yu looked sincere as he observed the Demon Fiend before him, waiting for its response.

A stream of unintelligible gibberish spewed forth. Combined with the Soot Skin Demon Fiend’s agonized and terrified expression, Wen Yu understood: This Demon Fiend wasn’t being stubborn; it genuinely couldn’t understand human language...

"TSK TSK..."

Wen Yu clicked his tongue, then gripped the Soot Skin Demon Fiend’s head firmly with both hands.

"Welcome to Earth!"

Then, BANG.

The Soot Skin Demon Fiend’s head exploded like a balloon.

White Soul Energy quickly rushed into Wen Yu’s body, enhancing his physique points.

In a daze, Wen Yu reappeared in the outside world.

"Next!"

...

In the distance, the majestic dragon’s roar echoed continuously; crimson Dragon Flame and deep black scales danced in the air!

Even as hordes of Demon Cannon Fodders threw themselves wave after wave at the highly conspicuous Star, they couldn’t halt its momentum in the slightest!

Further off, black flames blazed fiercely. Cyclops was savagely tearing and biting at the nearby Demon Fiends. In a short period, Cyclops’s grey, needle-like fur seemed to have grown longer. Upon closer inspection, tiny, fish-like scales could be seen slowly emerging from the flesh beneath its fur...

The effects of the Great Feast were manifesting with astonishing speed!

It was highly probable that after this battle, Cyclops’s appearance would undergo an earth-shattering transformation!

At the edge of the purple light screen, two inconspicuous figures flickered like lightning, hunting down the Demon Fiends Wen Yu had ’singled out.’

...

「30 minutes later.」

After using the Soul Battlefield to kill nearly fifty Level 5 Demon Fiends, Wen Yu finally obtained the information he desired.

But the situation was terrible! No, "terrible" was an understatement!

Standing motionless, Wen Yu frowned in thought for a long while before slowly raising his head to gaze at the nearby purple light screen.

After a moment, Wen Yu sighed softly...

Through the Soul Connection, he instructed Cyclops and Star to remain outside, eliminate the Demon Fiends near the light screen, and repeatedly warned them on no account to approach it. After considerable deliberation, Wen Yu, still accompanied by Faceless, gently touched the purple light screen before him...

A soft, oily sensation spread from his fingertips, immediately followed by an immense suction force.
