Chapter 796: The True Objective

Liu Er closed his eyes, not even daring to extend his Divine Sense outward for fear of being affected by the Illusion Array.

He immediately felt something crashing toward him, and without a second thought he raised his hand and hurled a punch.

The "boom" of a massive sound, the Mourning Bell, shook Liu Er and the others, leaving their heads dizzy and brains swollen.

The Mourning Bell's Spiritual Soul Attack finally triggered the poisonous smoke inside their bodies, which began to act up.

The lower‑level Demon Cultivators could not move at all and were instantly devoured by the fire dragon.

Zao Hua Realm Demon Cultivators could barely resist the fire dragon's assault, but their movements were much slower than before.

One Zao Hua Realm Demon Cultivator, slowed by his lagging actions and unable to defend in time, was swallowed whole by the fire dragon and burned to charcoal.

"Damn, it's a soul‑numbing toxin!" Liu Er, experienced, instantly realized what poison he had been hit with.

These Demon Cultivators use many poisons, so he had some knowledge about toxins.

He hurriedly took out the appropriate antidote pill to cure himself.

"Go ahead! This guy is too hard to deal with! If we delay any longer and he cures the poison, he'll be even harder to handle!" Qiong Qi transmitted the voice to Ye Liuyun.

"Take action!"

Ye Liuyun also made a decisive decision.

So the two of them exerted force together, pulling Liu Er's primary and secondary Souls into their respective Soul realms for attack.

In fact, Liu Er had already felt the edge of the Warship at this moment, but the Demon Cultivators behind him were unaware.

Earlier Liu Er had the group follow him; when he stopped, everyone else stopped as well.

Moreover, they now had to contend with both the toxin and the fire dragon, so no one even thought of moving forward.

Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi seized the opportunity to devote their full strength to confronting Liu Er's Soul.

Fortunately, although his Soul was strong, it did not exceed the capability limits of Ye Liuyun and Qiong Qi.

At this moment, the Soul Ye Liuyun was dealing with was already on the brink of death.

"Don't be smug; the Alliance Leader won't let you go!" Liu Er said resentfully.

Ye Liuyun sneered at his words, ignored them, and immediately began a Soul Search.

Then he used Blood Thunder to completely obliterate Liu Er's Soul.

"Scum!" Ye Liuyun cursed angrily.

"What's wrong?" Qiong Qi, seeing Ye Liuyun angry, asked puzzledly.

"They attacked the holy temple because inside it an Alien Evil Artifact of Supreme Rank was sealed. The Alliance Leader is that artifact's servant. She, under the pretense of treasure hunting, actually intends to revive the Alien Evil Artifact!"

Ye Liuyun began explaining to Qiong Qi.

"So that's it! A Supreme‑rank Alien Evil Artifact?" Qiong Qi mused.

Then he gave a wicked grin toward Ye Liuyun and said slowly, "You should be able to use that Supreme‑rank Alien Primordial Pill, right?"

"Do you have a way? That's a Supreme‑rank Alien. Don't mess up and wake it again!" Ye Liuyun said with some worry.

"Don't worry. No one has more experience dealing with these Aliens than I do. Come, let's first retrieve its Primordial Pill."

Qiong Qi said, leading Ye Liuyun out of the Warship and into the void.

"I never expected that the Demon Race actually sealed a Supreme‑rank Alien strongman!" Ye Liuyun chatted with Qiong Qi.

"The Demon Race was originally part of the resistance against the Foreign Tribe, so what's so surprising! Come to think of it, the Demon Race's defections to the Foreign Tribe far outnumber those of human Demon Cultivators!" Qiong Qi sighed, "It's you humans who are the most ungrateful, the most traitorous!"

Ye Liuyun, hearing that, was speechless.

He could only say, "Maybe there are just too many people, so the number of traitors seems larger!"

"Self‑justifying! Humans are obviously greedy!" Qiong Qi retorted.

"Enough already. Speaking of greed, I've never seen anyone greedier than you!" Ye Liuyun shot back.

The two continued talking and arrived straight at the main hall of the Demon Race's holy temple.

The guards here were all battling the Demon Cultivators outside.

"Use the Golden Pupil to locate the Alien Evil Artifact's position!" Qiong Qi reminded Ye Liuyun.

Their Divine Senses scanned the area, yet they could not find where the Alien Evil Artifact's physical body was hidden.

Qiong Qi began drawing a Formation. "I'll create an Illusion Array so that when the two of us go inside, we won't be easily spotted by others."

After Ye Liuyun activated the Golden Pupil, he discovered that the Alien Evil Artifact was sealed inside that multi‑armed demon statue.

"This place is indeed concealed!" Ye Liuyun immediately told Qiong Qi.

"Alright, leave it to me."

After setting up the Illusion Array, Qiong Qi again began arranging a Formation on the multi‑armed statue.

He then took out several Formation talismans and affixed them to the multi‑armed statue.

"All right. I'll control the Formation. You don't need to do anything; just extract its Primordial Pill. At the same time, burn in the Buddha Light Power and Nether Ghost Fire. Remember, act quickly."

Qiong Qi finished speaking and began focusing on controlling the Formation and the talismans.

The multi‑armed statue immediately began to tremble faintly, as if subconsciously resisting the talismans.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also locked onto the Alien Evil Artifact's Primordial Pill, while Buddha Light Power and Nether Ghost Fire spread over his entire body.

"Take action!"

Qiong Qi shouted, and Ye Liuyun immediately struck, pulling the Alien's Primordial Pill out in one grab.

It was truly fast, fierce, and precise.

The statue also violently quaked.

Through Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil he could see the Alien Evil Artifact's entire body trembling, as if desperately resisting.

However, those talismans prevented it from making any sound or exerting force; even its Soul wave could not emanate, sealing it dead inside.

"You go to the Treasure Vault first and take as much as you can. I still need a bit of time to finish my part; once done I'll come find you!" Qiong Qi transmitted the voice to Ye Liuyun.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Don't worry, without the primordial pellet, this guy is nothing at all!" Qiong Qi laughed: "I'm just going to let him die completely, so that later no one will have any ideas about him."

As he spoke, he focused on controlling the device array talismans; it looked like he wanted to extinguish the Soul of that Alien Evil Artifact.

"Wait." Ye Liuyun suddenly thought of his own Hundred-Refined Soul Banner. "Can the Soul of that Alien Evil Artifact be put into the Soul Banner?"

"You mean..."

Qiong Qi also understood Ye Liuyun's intention. He wanted to collect the Soul of that Alien Evil Artifact into the Soul Banner, so that it could later help him in battle.

That is a Venerable-rank expert; his Soul must not be weak!

"If there's danger, then forget it!" Seeing Qiong Qi hesitate, Ye Liuyun felt it was better to be safe.

"It's not dangerous; as long as we cooperate well, it'll be fine!"

Qiong Qi had Ye Liuyun take out the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, activate it first, and begin absorbing the Soul.

Then he controlled several talismans, loosening them little by little. As soon as the talismans were loosened, the Foreign Tribe's Soul was directly absorbed by the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner.

Moreover, by loosening a little and absorbing a little, he gave the Foreign Tribe's Soul no chance to resist.
