"Good!"
Venerable Qi Lian was much faster than Savage Elephant Venerable. Seeing that the two Wanderers were already weakening, she naturally wasn't about to let such a good opportunity slip by!
She activated a disk-shaped Supreme Treasure in her hand.
"Arc Disk! Suppress them!"
From her words, it was clear that this was a suppression-type Supreme Treasure.
Compared with the commonly used offensive Supreme Treasures, this thing was a rare piece of equipment. Even among the Human Race today, only a handful of Top Overlords possessed one.
However, thanks to Hikari, the Human Race had imitations of suppression-type treasures, made according to the properties of Supreme Treasures.
Among the Human Race, especially in forces led by the Space Garrison, most Universe Venerables and even Immortal Level fighters were equipped with them.
They were used to capture powerful members of the Alien Race, as well as to punish certain members within humanity.
"Clang!"
A metallic crash rang out, and Venerable Qi Lian's suppression treasure was knocked out of the sky.
"Ice Axe? That's..." Recognizing the attack that had knocked her treasure away, Venerable Qi Lian angrily scanned her surroundings.
"Lord of Ice Axe Prison, I know you're here. Come out!"
A powerful wave of soul pressure erupted from Venerable Qi Lian.
Even though the weakest person present was a Universe Overlord, everyone's consciousness wavered!
"Seven!"
The two Wanderers shouted excitedly when they saw who had arrived.
"Sorry, it was a long journey, so I'm a little late!"
Seven flew over from a distance. The Ice Axe hovering in space seemed to answer his call and flew back into his hand.
"Seven, release Venerable Minghui, or you'll never leave this place!"
As she spoke, Venerable Qi Lian unleashed a series of Soul Attacks toward Seven.
Unfortunately...
Seven was one of the Human Race's strongest soul-users. Even the Bug Race Mother Emperor, renowned for her powerful soul in the Primal Universe, could be enslaved by him.
How could a mere Top Overlord of the same level possibly hurt him with a Soul Attack?
Just as Venerable Qi Lian's attack came within a millimeter of Seven, his counterattack swept back like a tidal wave.
In an instant, Venerable Qi Lian felt the force of a powerful soul backlash.
"Venerable Qi Lian, your Soul Attack is indeed powerful, but... my control is more precise than yours!
"If that's all you can do, then on this day next year, you'll be celebrating the anniversary of becoming one of my collectibles!"
As Seven spoke, a sharp beam of light shot from above his head, carrying soul power as it streaked toward Venerable Qi Lian.
Venerable Qi Lian was no pushover. Seeing that her Soul Attack had no effect, she immediately brought out her Supreme Treasures.
Defense, offense, domain...
As a Top Overlord, she had every kind of Supreme Treasure one could ask for.
Among them, a top-tier soul-type Supreme Treasure stood out most.
It was clear just how wary Venerable Qi Lian was of Seven's Soul Attack!
"Futile struggle!" Seven had seen this scene so many times that he was used to it.
After all, his powerful soul was famous throughout the Primal Universe.
Countless Alien Race Universe Venerables had fled at the sight of him, using soul treasures to shield themselves so they wouldn't be soul-enslaved.
Some had even chosen to self-destruct rather than face a Human Race Venerable who enjoyed enslaving members of other races.
But Venerable Qi Lian seemed intent on fighting him to the death!
"Why not try and see?" Venerable Qi Lian retorted firmly.
But she didn't realize that she was panicking inside.
The Bug Race was usually the one using its powerful soul to bully others, yet today she had been bested by Seven.
For her, the Bug Race's only Top Overlord, the blow was immense.
But... she had clearly already notified the Universe Master of her race to come reinforce her. Why hadn't they arrived yet?
She had no idea that, on the other side, at the Universe Master battlefield...
"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, Lord of Void Horn Jiek, one of the Human Race's top fighters, and couldn't help feeling more and more astonished.
Though he was only a Fourth-Order Universe Master, his combat strength already rivaled that of a Fifth-Order Universe Master.
Even in the soul arts he was best at, he was still a little inferior to Jiek. If Jiek weren't so unskilled at Soul Attacks, Lord of Banff would have already lost.
His wariness toward the Human Race continued to grow.
"Lord of Banff, do you think the Outer-Domain Battlefield is a suitable place for top fighters like us to unleash our power?
"Besides, the four races agreed long ago that Universe Master-level fighters weren't allowed on the Outer-Domain Battlefield.
"Even Top Overlords weren't supposed to act recklessly. Yet now your three races have openly broken the agreement. Are you trying to start a war between our races?"
Jiek swung the long spear in his hand, unleashing attack after attack imbued with the Space-Time Law.
Even Lord of Banff could only dodge and block as best he could.
He was one of the Bug Race Alliance's top fighters, but he wasn't actually a member of the Bug Race.
Furthermore, he had taken the path of an illusionist and lacked physical attacks.
Now that he was facing a Universe Master of the Ultra Clan, a race naturally immune to illusions from opponents of the same level and endowed with powerful Soul Will, he couldn't help feeling helpless.
What's more, Jiek's full set of Supreme Treasures left the impoverished Universe Master feeling powerless!
"If I had more physical attacks at my disposal, how could a mere Lord of Void Horn stop me?"
Lord of Banff regretted it, but it was too late to do anything now.
"Lord of Banff, why not head back now? That'll let me give the others in my race an account of what happened.
"Otherwise, Lord of Ice Peak is nearby. I only need to call out to him, and he'll arrive in no time!
"Then... even if we're both Fourth-Order Universe Masters, you'll still die! Think carefully about what matters more!"
As Jiek spoke, his attacks didn't weaken in the slightest. If anything, they seemed to grow even more intense.
But his words had already made Lord of Banff reconsider.
Yes, he was a top fighter on the Bug Race's side, but that didn't mean he would actually risk his life for them.
Besides, even if he abandoned Venerable Qi Lian and she died, the Zerg Empress wouldn't turn against a Fourth-Order Universe Master over one Top Overlord.
With that thought, Lord of Banff made his decision at once. He shot backward and shouted:
"Lord of Void Horn, I'll let you off this time! If we meet on the battlefield again, I'll end your life!"
"Good! I'll be waiting!"
Jiek watched Lord of Banff leave the Outer-Domain Battlefield, his spear in hand as he stood amid the void.
His eyes still blazed with fighting spirit, and his presence was imposing!
"I just hope Seven and the others finish quickly. If the other Top Overlords come to reinforce them, I won't have any reason to step in!"
