The answer was obvious—someone heavyweight had definitely died outside.
However, the monitoring footage showed no such scene!
This meant...
“Damn it, I’ve been deceived!”
Wen Yu immediately realized.
The images on the “monitor” were fake!
From start to finish, he had fallen into the trap set by the ancient demon Mara, deeply immersed in the thrill of power enhancement and unable to extricate himself...
This also meant that he had no idea what kind of situation the outside world had deteriorated into!
Thinking of this—especially considering that the Faceless was still outside—Wen Yu was so angry that he wished he could roar to the heavens.
His hands didn’t slow down; Crazy Song quickly appeared in the palm of Wen Yu's right hand, and he pressed the gun barrel tightly against the black heart, crazily pulling the trigger.
The central control core of the Purple Light Nurturing Barrier had almost no defensive capability; when it faced the physical attack from Crazy Song, it immediately burst apart!
“Boom!”
Flames erupted with a loud explosion following it.
However, the current central control core had already had most of its energy absorbed by Wen Yu, leaving only a small amount that couldn’t stir up any waves.
It was like the intensity of several grenades detonating simultaneously; for Wen Yu at this moment, there was no need to take any defensive measures.
At the instant the central control core exploded, all the clones outside froze in their actions.
The central control core was equivalent to the brain of these clones...
Without the central control core, these clones were just a pile of meat with physical prowess and strong skills...
In the subspace, as the explosion just sounded, Wen Yu fired three more shots at the black heart, then disregarded the explosion happening in front of him and directly turned to walk towards the subspace entrance.
Although he didn’t know who had just died, it was definitely a peak-level being.
As for the ancient demon named Mara, if he had set this trap without absolute certainty of taking down the defensive forces outside, Wen Yu wouldn’t believe it!
So...
It wasn’t that Wen Yu didn’t believe in the Faceless, Qin Tian, and the others, but based on a comparison of hard strength, the one who had died was likely from his own side!
At this moment, Wen Yu finally understood the meaning of “time waits for no one.”
...
A slight dizziness and discomfort washed over him, and after a brief moment of adaptation, Wen Yu finally appeared in the outside world.
Sensing the quiet and oppressive atmosphere within the entire Purple Light Nurturing Barrier, Wen Yu furrowed his brow heavily.
He had no idea that when he broke the central control core, the clones had completely stopped moving.
If the battle had been intense, it would have been fine; at least it would have proven that there was still hope. But in this situation, it left Wen Yu somewhat at a loss.
Had everyone died? Or...
Thinking of this, Wen Yu immediately activated the fourth soul realm, trying to bring back the Faceless.
No matter what, the Faceless absolutely must not be lost, especially since the perfect clone had already advanced to the foundation level; the Faceless’s role was naturally needless to mention for Wen Yu.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario that Wen Yu had expected did not happen.
As the purple light gradually dissipated, the dough-like Faceless appeared instantly in the fourth soul realm.
The dough-shaped Faceless had no injuries; from the state of the Faceless, Wen Yu could not infer what the battle situation was like.
But one thing was certain—since the battlefield in the distance was so quiet, it meant that the outcome had already been decided. Regardless of who won or lost, Wen Yu had no need to be anxious.
And now, there was something even more important waiting for Wen Yu.
...
From the moment he stepped out of the subspace until now, only a few seconds had passed.
After bringing back the Faceless, Wen Yu finally looked towards the distance.
