Pokémon Melee! The Human Race Experts Arrive Again!

Meanwhile, let us shift our focus back to the battlefield where Seven and the others are engaged.

Ace and Xinji Venerable are locked in a heated battle.

The two figures dart and weave across the battlefield, occasionally standing in the void or landing on the planetary fragments shattered by their combat.

The battlefield between Seven and Qi Lian Venerable, however, lacks such flashy displays; the two simply stand silently in the cosmos.

Yet, on the soul level invisible to the naked eye, thousands of clashes occur every single second.

As for the two Walkers, much like Savage Elephant Venerable, they have consumed a vast amount of their divine bodies, and their combat power is now less than one-tenth of its peak.

They are seizing every minute and second to replenish the energy consumed within their bodies.

"Qi Lian Venerable, give up! You are no match for me!"

Seven shouts loudly, even as their soul-level confrontation intensifies.

Qi Lian Venerable offers no response; merely clashing with Seven has already exhausted her, so how could she spare the focus to reply?

Looking closer, Seven himself has actually reached his limit, even though his soul strength is significantly higher than that of Qi Lian Venerable.

But in the end, they are both powerhouses of the same rank, and Qi Lian Venerable has existed for far longer than him, making her combat experience quite troublesome for him to handle.

At this moment, the two are essentially in a contest to see who will collapse first, but judging by the current situation, Seven still holds a slight advantage!

As for Ace, his struggle with Xinji Venerable is primarily close-quarters combat.

Compared to the Human Race, the Machine Race's advantages are far more significant in melee combat.

Ace's attacks have been predicted and dodged by Xinji Venerable several times already.

"Xinji Venerable, if you have the guts, stop running and let me land a solid hit on you!"

Ace watches Xinji Venerable, who continues to use his movement techniques to evade attacks, and shouts with a fair amount of resentment!

"Venerable Light Blade, there is no need for this. At worst, just let me go; my Machine Race would never engage in such a losing business!"

After being struck by Thunder Tiger Walker, Xinji Venerable lost a massive portion of his divine body; although he has replenishment from origin-type treasures, he is now at the end of his rope.

The reason he uses his movement techniques to escape is a choice made out of sheer desperation; otherwise, the overwhelming Mechanical Flow combat style would be his best option!

"Let you go? Heh, they say your Machine Race is skilled at calculations. What? Seeing that the situation is unfavorable, you want to run away?

How could there be such a cheap deal in this world? Today, you either die and vanish! Or...

Hmph, the processors of the Virtual Universe are not quite enough! I believe the powerhouses of my race would not mind having a few more Machine Race processors!"

The tone in Ace's voice carries not just mockery, but even more anger.

What?

Your three races joined forces, three top-tier overlords surrounded us, and now you want to leave so easily?

Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to him, Ace?

If that happened, how could he continue to hold his own within the Human Race and the universe?

Thinking of this, the attacks in Ace's hands become even sharper.

Light blades condensed from the laws of light, combined with Ace's insights into the two major laws of space and time, sweep toward Xinji Venerable with a terrifying aura.

But as a top-tier overlord of the Machine Race, Xinji Venerable is naturally no pushover.

His strength is certainly not a bit weaker than Ace's.

Seeing that Ace is determined to keep him there, he decides to stop hiding.

In an instant, hundreds of mechanical puppets, each at least comparable to ordinary heavy treasures, are released by Xinji Venerable.

The Mechanical Flow combat style, which the Machine Race excels at, unfolds, and in a flash, Ace is trapped within the encirclement.

"Venerable Light Blade! Can you handle this strike?"

Before Xinji Venerable's words even fade, five mechanical puppets comparable to high-tier supreme treasures launch their attacks first.

Ace's expression turns grave instantly, though he is not yet at his wit's end.

Under his control, that defensive high-tier supreme treasure exerts its power, blocking the incoming fire attack.

But as both are high-tier supreme treasures, who is stronger than whom?

The protective barrier, which was originally incredibly sturdy, sees its energy dissipating wildly under the assault of the five mechanical puppets.

Ace's state is also being rapidly depleted.

"Ace!"

Seven is constantly monitoring Ace's battlefield, and upon seeing this, he cannot help but feel worried.

"A good opportunity!"

Taking advantage of Seven's distraction, Qi Lian Venerable immediately increases the frequency of her soul attacks.

However, Seven's distraction is only momentary; years of combat have made his sense for danger extremely keen.

His soul defense power increases instantly!

At the same time, the Ice Axe in his hand struck out abruptly, appearing instantly before Qi Lian Venerable.

Qi Lian Venerable sensed the threat, and the soul-based attack instantly slackened as his figure retreated explosively to a million kilometers away.

"Ice Axe! You!"

Qi Lian Venerable rebuked him angrily, but he could not find a reason to complain; after all, this was a life-and-death battle, so what did such tactics matter?

"Can't handle it already? Since we can't decide the winner on the soul level, let's fight it out with real blades and guns!"

Before Seven's voice had even faded, his figure surged toward Qi Lian Venerable along with the Ice Axe.

Facing a threat on the physical level, Qi Lian Venerable did not have any good countermeasures.

Gritting his teeth and stamping his foot, he released a sky-covering swarm of insects from his Mother Nest.

Tens of thousands of immortal-level Green Mantis surged toward Seven like a beehive.

But for a powerhouse at the level of a Universe Venerable, this was simply an attack akin to a joke.

With a wave of Seven's hand, thousands of Bug Warriors were reduced to dust.

Of course, Qi Lian Venerable did not expect these Bug Warriors to actually cause any harm to Seven.

All he wanted was a little bit of time!

"Come out! My children!"

As Qi Lian Venerable spoke, dozens of Venerable-level King Bug Warriors stepped out from the Mother Nest.

The moment they saw Seven, their already hideous and terrifying faces became even more tyrannical!

"Roar~!"

The moment they received the order from Qi Lian Venerable, these Bug Warriors, whose strength was at least that of a middle-level Venerable, charged directly at Seven.

"Now this is more like it!"

Seeing this scene, a trace of joy finally appeared on Seven's previously serious face.

"Come out!"

Seven directly opened his World Ring, and several high-level Venerable soul slaves appeared before him.

"Attack!"

"Yes!"

These Soul Slaves struck instantly upon receiving the order.

Admittedly, the Bug Warriors were extremely powerful, but unfortunately, they were stretched thin in the face of Seven's slave army.

A high-level Venerable from the Nine Cloud Sparrow clan of the Monster Race swallowed and digested a Bug Warrior in a single breath.

And a Universe Venerable from the Bug Race even summoned several Venerable-level Bug Warriors from his own Mother Nest to serve as cannon fodder!

For a time, the entire expanse of cosmic space turned into a chaotic battlefield.

Qi Lian Venerable's insect swarm and Seven's Soul Slaves fought fiercely, while the two of them used this gap to begin recovering their own strength.

"Go!"

Suddenly, a thunderous shout rang out, and a beam of light streaked across, piercing through the recovering Savage Elephant Venerable!

"What!"

Sensing the sudden drop in Savage Elephant Venerable's aura, Qi Lian and Xinji both knew that the Human Race's powerhouses had arrived again!
