"Good!"

Qi Lian Venerable was much faster than Savage Elephant Venerable. Seeing that the two travelers' conditions had already declined, he naturally would not let such a golden opportunity slip by!

A disk-shaped supreme treasure in his hand was activated.

"Arc Disk! Suppress!"

From his words, we can tell that this is a suppression-type supreme treasure.

Compared to common offensive supreme treasures, this item is considered a rare commodity; even within the current Human Expeditionary Force, only a few top overlords possess one.

However, because of the existence of Hikari, he used the characteristics of the supreme treasure to mass-produce imitation heavy treasures of the suppression type.

Within the human race, especially among forces led by the Space Garrison, most universe venerables and even immortal-level powerhouses are equipped with them.

The purpose is to capture powerhouses of alien races and to punish certain members within the human race.

"Clang!"

A sound of metal colliding rang out, knocking Qi Lian Venerable's suppression treasure out of the void.

"Ice Axe? This is..." After seeing clearly the object that had knocked his treasure away, Qi Lian Venerable looked around in a rage.

"Lord of Ice Axe Prison, I know you are here, come out!"

A powerful soul pressure erupted instantly from Qi Lian Venerable's body.

Even though the weakest person present was a universe overlord, they all felt a moment of dizziness in their consciousness!

"Seven!"

The two travelers shouted excitedly after seeing the figure of the newcomer.

"Apologies, the journey was a bit long, I arrived a little late!"

Seven's figure flew in from the distance, and at the same time, that ice axe suspended in the cosmic void seemed to have received his summons, flying back into his hand.

"Seven, release Venerable Minghui, otherwise you will stay here forever today!"

As Qi Lian Venerable spoke, waves of soul attacks surged toward Seven.

Unfortunately...

Seven is a representative of powerful souls within the human race; even the Bug Race Mother Emperor, famous in the Primal Universe for her powerful soul, could be enslaved by him.

How could a mere top overlord of the same rank hurt him with soul attacks?

Just as Qi Lian Venerable's attack was less than a millimeter away from Seven, Seven's counterattack surged forth like a tidal wave.

In an instant, Qi Lian Venerable felt a powerful soul backlash.

"Qi Lian Venerable, your soul attacks are indeed powerful, but... my control is much more refined than yours!

If this is all you've got, then this time next year will be the anniversary of you becoming my collection piece!"

As Seven spoke, a sharp beam of light from the top of his head, wrapped in soul power, attacked Qi Lian Venerable.

Qi Lian Venerable was no pushover; seeing that his own soul attacks were ineffective, he immediately brought out his own supreme treasures.

Defense, offense, domain...

As a top overlord, the attributes of the supreme treasures on his person were all-encompassing.

Among them, a top-tier soul-type supreme treasure was the most eye-catching.

It was enough to show just how wary Qi Lian Venerable was of Seven's soul attacks!

"Futile struggle!" Seven had long been accustomed to seeing such scenes.

After all, his soul power was famous throughout the Primal Universe.

Countless universe venerables of alien races, upon seeing him for the first time, would flee directly under the cover of soul treasures to avoid being enslaved.

Some even preferred to self-destruct rather than face this human venerable who loved to enslave other races.

But the Qi Lian Venerable before him seemed to want to fight him to the death!

"If I don't try, how would I know?" Qi Lian Venerable said stubbornly.

But little did he know, his heart was also in a panic at this moment.

It had always been the Bug Race bullying others with their powerful soul strength, yet today he had stumbled at the hands of Seven.

For him, currently the only top overlord of the Bug Race, the blow was undoubtedly huge.

It was just... he had clearly notified the universe masters of his race to come and support him, so why hadn't they arrived after such a long time?

Little did he know, on the other side of the battlefield of universe masters...

"Lord of Void Horn! Do you really intend to stand in my way?"

Lord of Banff looked at the commander-in-chief of the Human Expeditionary Force before him, the top powerhouse of the human race, Lord of Void Horn, Jiek, and his heart could not stop trembling in shock.

A universe master with a cultivation level of only the fourth rank, yet his combat power was already comparable to a fifth-rank universe master.

Even in the aspect of the soul, where he excelled, he was slightly inferior; if he were not skilled in soul attacks, he would have likely been defeated long ago.

The wariness in his heart toward the human race continued to climb.

"Lord of Banff, do you truly think the Outer-Domain Battlefield is a suitable place for top-tier combatants like us to unleash our power?

Furthermore, the four races have long had an agreement: no Universe Master level combat power is allowed within the Outer-Domain Battlefield.

Even top-tier overlords are not permitted to strike at will, yet now, your three races have openly broken the treaty. Are you trying to ignite a full-scale racial war?"

Jiek swung the spear in his hand, unleashing a barrage of attacks imbued with the laws of space and time.

Even someone as strong as the Lord of Banff could only do his best to dodge and parry these strikes.

Although he was a top-tier combatant within the Bug Race Alliance, he was not, after all, one of the Bug Race themselves.

Moreover, he followed the path of an illusionist, which inherently left him lacking in physical means.

Now, facing a Universe Master of the Ultra Clan—who possessed a powerful soul and will and was born immune to illusions of the same level—he inevitably appeared somewhat powerless.

Not to mention that the set of supreme treasures on Jiek's body made him, a "poor" Universe Master, feel that his heart was willing but his strength was insufficient!

If only I had more physical means at my disposal, how could a mere Lord of Void Horn hope to stop me?

The Lord of Banff felt regret in his heart, but it was too late to say anything now.

"Lord of Banff, why not just head home now? It would make it easier for me to report back to the other powerhouses in my clan.

If not, the Lord of Ice Peak is nearby; I only need to call out, and he will arrive in less than a moment!

By then... even if we are both Tier 4 Universe Masters, you will surely fall!

You had better weigh the pros and cons carefully!"

As Jiek spoke, his attacks did not weaken in the slightest; if anything, they grew slightly more intense.

His words reached the ears of the Lord of Banff, and they had already begun to plant the seeds of retreat.

Yes, he was a top-tier powerhouse standing on the side of the Bug Race, but that did not mean he would actually throw his life away for them.

Besides, even if he abandoned his support for Qi Lian Venerable, leading to his demise, the Zerg Empress would not go so far as to fall out with a Tier 4 Universe Master over a mere top-tier overlord.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Banff immediately made his decision. He retreated rapidly, not forgetting to shout:

"Lord of Void Horn, I will let you off this time, but if we meet on the battlefield again, I will surely end your life!"

"Fine! I shall be waiting!"

Jiek watched the Lord of Banff exit the range of the Outer-Domain Battlefield, standing in the void with his spear in hand.

His eyes were still filled with fighting spirit, his aura magnificent!

I only hope Seven and the others are efficient enough. If other top-tier overlords go to provide support, I won't have any reason to intervene!
