The soul masters and soul beasts are like a shared fate interconnected by destiny.
Throughout it all, no matter what situation Wen Yu found himself in, the little soul beast always stayed by his side, mutually dependent, relying on each other, never leaving or abandoning one another.
Long ago, Wen Yu had discovered a method to upgrade soul beasts—the fate beast was a great reference.
However, the difficulty of the upgrade exceeded Wen Yu's imagination.
During his more than five thousand years in the Temple of the Void Realm, Wen Yu had been experimenting, yet he still could not take that final step. Just two days ago, Wen Yu finally cast aside his caution and, with less than an eighty percent success rate, forcibly upgraded the little soul beast...
It turned out that Wen Yu's luck was quite good at that moment, and this luck finally revealed results now!
As the little soul beast smoothly integrated into Wen Yu's body, a hazy halo began to radiate. At first, Bai paid no mind and only commanded Tang Haofei and the others to aggressively press towards Wen Yu!
In comparison to their current strength, Wen Yu had no chance of turning the tide, and he saw the machine king armor on him swiftly materialize and expand, forming a nearly three-meter diameter metal sphere in no time.
Black light burst forth from the metal sphere, this light isolated all kinetic strikes while absorbing kinetic energy and converting it into a recoil force, pushing Tang Haofei and the others' attacks far away.
However, upon seeing this, Bai let out a cold laugh.
"Then I’ll see how long your turtle shell can hold up!"
With that, a new command was issued, and Tang Haofei and the others raised their hands, gathering thunder. In a short time, the entire void realm transformed into a vast thunder pool.
...
Wen Yu, hiding inside the machine king armor, paid no attention to the attacks from Tang Haofei and the others.
He merely closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.
He was pondering a question—was the current situation truly unsolvable for him?
No...
Not at all...
Soon, Wen Yu grasped the key point of the problem.
The key lay with Bai.
Wen Yu didn't know why Bai was immune to the effects of heaven-sealing modification. After contemplating for a moment, a sudden hypothesis emerged...
Perhaps the Bai appearing in front of him was not the real body... but a clone!
Naturally, heaven-sealing modification could not have any effect on a clone!
In other words, as long as he found Bai's real body and used heaven-sealing modification to seal Bai's abilities, then with Bai's strength, he would not be able to stir up any more trouble!
Of course, this was just a small conjecture—Wen Yu could not be certain if it was true or not—however... Wen Yu indeed had a way to verify this hypothesis!
Thinking this, Wen Yu slowly opened his eyes.
"Then..."
"First fate observation, activate..."
Finding the problem and solving it. Once Wen Yu identified the key factor, he unceremoniously activated one of the innate abilities acquired from upgrading the soul beast!
In the next second, mysterious runes emerged from Wen Yu, these runes intricate and vast, yet extremely restrained; Tang Haofei and Bai in the outside world did not notice the anomaly appearing on Wen Yu.
As the runes flickered, in an instant, Wen Yu felt a tremendous force wildly pulling at his soul. When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at another temporal and spatial node!
This was the temporal and spatial node at the moment when Tang Haofei had just made his move!
...
"Kill him!"
Bai issued the command, and Tang Haofei moved accordingly.
Accompanied by the clash of Tang Haofei, Wen Yu directly smashed Tang Haofei to the ground using the power of the machine king armor, marking the end of their first confrontation.
Meanwhile, on the main fate line, Wen Yu seemed to activate a god-like perspective, floating above in an unfathomable domain, coldly observing everything...
His attention was not on the Wen Yu and Tang Haofei on this fate line, but rather firmly locked on Bai's position.
