Everything was exactly the same as before.
The energy ball collided with the dark barrier, emitting a brief humming sound, and then the dark barrier suddenly changed.
The darkness extended, instantly enveloping the energy ball and trapping it. The energy ball struggled left and right within the dark barrier, but no matter what, it could not escape Wen Yu's control.
"Get what we need and leave first."
Wen Yu quickly transmitted a mental wave, and the group immediately flew back in the direction they came from.
…
In the blink of an eye, the group returned to the edge of the world barrier, but this time, Wen Yu had an additional energy ball in his hand, and there was one less ancient demon in the team.
The dark energy sealed the energy ball completely, and Wen Yu stared at the small object in his hand. Soon, Creation Energy surged rapidly into the energy ball.
“The energy intensity is very high, and there exists a large amount of origin power inside. This is also the fundamental reason why this little thing can instantly kill a tenth-level limit breaker demonic entity. However, I currently do not understand why its attack only affects the physical body and is completely ineffective against energy defenses.”
As Wen Yu analyzed the components of the energy ball, he shared the information he had gathered with Bai and the others.
A tenth-level limit breaker demonic entity, in terms of physical defense capabilities, could not possibly be lower than some energy defense artifacts. The attack of the energy ball showed clear targeting and inclination.
“The existence of this thing is indeed similar to a soul puppet. From within, I also found traces of Creation Energy present. This thing can also be considered a type of soul creation. However, it is strange that they are masterless, and my Creation Energy infused into this thing cannot convert it into my soul puppet.”
“They do not possess intelligence. In a strict sense, they do not belong to life forms.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that these things should originally have been soul puppets, but due to mutation, they became what they are now. Uh, I am not clear about the exact situation that caused them to take on this form, but upon careful study, I found that this thing is indeed quite peculiar.”
Wen Yu stroked his chin, confusion appearing in his eyes.
“This thing gives me the impression of being a hybrid product of an eleventh-level strongman and a soul puppet. Hmm, a variant soul puppet, or perhaps the ultimate version of a soul puppet without intelligence?”
“Is there a solution?”
Bai raised a question—he was not concerned about Wen Yu's research, nor did he care about what the energy ball actually was. Right now, Bai was solely focused on his own goals and mission. He didn’t care about what this energy ball was; he just wanted to know how to resolve the trouble posed by the energy ball.
Hearing Bai's words, Wen Yu nodded.
“The weakness of this thing is very obvious. Although we can’t capture their presence or attack trajectory, they rely on sound to locate their prey and have no resistance to energy attacks or energy defenses. As long as we don’t speak and set up a defensive barrier, these little things can be easily dealt with.”
After Wen Yu finished speaking, the dark energy in his hand spread out instantly, crushing the energy ball. However, at the moment the energy ball collapsed, Wen Yu keenly sensed a large amount of Creation Energy and origin power bursting forth from within the energy ball. With a simple opening of his mouth to inhale, all these gains were absorbed by Wen Yu.
The amount of Creation Energy was very small, almost negligible, but a large quantity of origin power surged into Wen Yu’s body, abruptly merging with his three divine beast species talents, and in a short time, all three of Wen Yu's racial talents were enhanced by a notch!
“Origin power… it doesn’t belong to the Demon Realm… This is origin power from another world. The mixed origin power from multiple worlds is the origin power of the worlds previously destroyed by the demonic clan!”
