The one-eyed didn't expect that the medicine he had just injected would sever his soul link with Wen Yu. He paused for a moment and then noticed that the second clone had been resurrected.
"Eliminate the enemies first, then think about the problem!"
In this moment, the one-eyed's reckless style was pushed to its extreme. He didn't even consider the issues happening to him and lunged forward again, instantly arriving beside the clone.
With his teeth biting and his giant claws striking, in just a few milliseconds, the recently revived clone was torn apart by the one-eyed into a pile of remains.
However, just as he resolved the two enemies, the one-eyed suddenly felt dazed. He looked at the empty desert, his vision gradually blurred. A moment later, accompanied by a loud "boom," the one-eyed's limbs softened, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
...
It was like falling into the deepest dream.
The one-eyed lay in the desert, eyes tightly closed, seemingly losing all perception of the outside world. His belly rose and fell, and loud snores rumbled like thunder; he was sleeping soundly.
At the same moment the one-eyed fell, a flash of lightning flickered in the distance, quickly arriving beside him.
It was the very clone that had lured the one-eyed...
At this moment, the clone looked at the soundly sleeping one-eyed, and a smile suddenly appeared on its lips.
In its mind, there seemed to be a recollection of the drugs that the clones had carried with them before crossing realms...
Eternal Night's Sleep!
A super toxin developed by the demonic clan—specifically designed for soul masters, or rather, for Wen Yu.
As long as one injected a vial, it would sever the soul connection between the soul pet and the soul master, while also causing the enemy to fall into the deepest dream.
But it was not merely a deep sleep!
Eternal Torture would also corrode the enemy's flesh and blood, bones, and imprison the enemy's soul. Ultimately, it could lead the enemy into a state of half-life, half-death—consciousness immersed in dreams, flesh decaying completely, while the soul remained trapped in place, rendering all resurrection abilities ineffective!
In this way, not only was the one-eyed's combat ability dismantled, but due to the severed soul link, the decay of the flesh would disappear, and the soul body would fall into slumber. Once the effects of Eternal Night's Sleep reached their peak, the clone would seize the one-eyed's soul, making it so that Wen Yu could no longer find the one-eyed.
Worse yet, being imprisoned in the soul did not mean complete death—this even meant that unless Wen Yu actively abandoned the one-eyed, he would no longer be able to contract another soul pet.
If Wen Yu found it hard to part with him, it would be tantamount to rendering an entire soul realm space useless.
They didn't just kill; they sought to destroy the heart!
...
The demonic clan was indeed calculating.
Wen Yu's soul pet must possess resurrection abilities. Although the spirit of the demon lord did not know that Victor had the skill of Reality and Illusion: Nine Lives, that did not hinder the demonic clan from making arrangements based on this premise.
From the moment these ten clones crossed realms, they had locked their final target onto the one-eyed! Because they understood that the one-eyed was the strongest force on the current Layered Battlefield!
Like a precise scalpel, since the blooming of the Demon Realm Flower, the demonic clan's strategy had always remained unchanged—slowly draining Earth's living forces, dismantling Earth's resistance, and ultimately achieving victory at the smallest cost!
And this time...
Exchanging the lives of four clones for the one-eyed was, for the demonic clan, an immense victory!
The remaining clone watched the one-eyed, its eyes gradually brightening. It stood there until ten minutes later when the one-eyed's hair began to fall out, and its gray skin became pale...
It was responsible for keeping watch—confirming the one-eyed's "death" and then retrieving its soul body to bring back to the Demon Realm.
