In the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier, within an unknown subspace, Mara supported his head with his right arm, frowning as he observed the scene before him.
Not far ahead of Mara, there was an unknown object that resembled rippling water or a mirror, clearly presenting all the happenings within the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier before Mara—there was the ongoing battle near the Red Stone Grand Hotel, Wen Yu running aimlessly, and even the internal scenes of the flesh cocoon above the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier that was wriggling incessantly.
At the same time, at the center of this subspace, a pitch-black object that looked like a heart was beating continuously, with numerous blood vessel-like tubes extending from the black heart, piercing through space as they directly connected this subspace to the external Purple Light Nurturing Barrier.
This was the control core of the entire Purple Light Nurturing Barrier!
Mara's fingers lightly tapped on the pure black ground of the subspace, watching Wen Yu's relentless search in the mirror-like surface, his brow slightly furrowing.
A low murmur escaped Mara's lips.
"How does this guy know about this information...?"
Wen Yu was using the soul battlefield to interrogate for information, which was a mystery to Mara...
After a while, Mara decisively ended this unproductive thought, watching as Wen Yu's search location drew closer to the entrance of this subspace, yet Mara showed no sign of impatience.
He picked up a skeletal communicator beside him and spoke quickly into it.
"This is the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier. How is the external setup coming along?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a reply came from the communicator.
"Everything has been fully prepared. What about your situation?"
"Ah... the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier is destined to be broken. The second sequence will likely reach the central control core's location in about three minutes. I am preparing to withdraw now."
Upon hearing that the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier was about to fall, there was no surprise or sorrow from the other end of the communicator—when the second sequence entered the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier, the demonic clan command already anticipated this situation, which also meant that the demonic clan had prepared a counterplan.
This counterplan was not within the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier...
"Permission to withdraw, be careful."
"Understood, but before withdrawing, I still need to leave some small gifts for these guys..."
Mara smiled as he hung up the communicator, standing up and walking to the central control core, inputting a series of commands.
Then, Mara's figure slowly disappeared from this space.
He ran...
...
Within the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier.
Wen Yu sprinted like a whirlwind, running wildly throughout the entire Purple Light Nurturing Barrier.
In a short time, Wen Yu had searched nearly half of the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier's space, but found nothing.
Of course, Wen Yu had anticipated this.
However, what shocked Wen Yu the most was that nearly five minutes had passed, and not a single flesh cocoon above the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier had ruptured!
This meant that not a single copy had appeared!
Without any copies joining the battle, the situation was completely under control for the defending troops near the Red Stone Grand Hotel.
"What’s going on? Have they given up?"
Just as Wen Yu was lost in thought, a faint spatial fluctuation came from 300 meters to his right.
Sensing this, Wen Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I found it!"
Immediately, Wen Yu turned on his heels and charged towards the direction of the perceived spatial fluctuation.
...
At the location of the spatial fluctuation, Wen Yu did not find any abnormalities.
This was not what he had anticipated...
In Wen Yu's expectations, something as crucial as the central control core would prompt the demonic clan to exercise utmost caution; he had even prepared for a tough battle.
Turning to look around, black threads still swirled around Wen Yu, killing every demonic creature that dared to approach. Above him, the flesh cocoon nurtured by the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier remained inactive—except for its writhing intensifying!
