The demon lord suddenly opened his eyes, startling several spirit pets.
Seeing this, Wen Yu immediately sent the spirit pets into the soul realm space and then looked at the demon lord in front of him.
A deep voice echoed: “I’ve already told you that the prerequisite for the soul separation technique is the soul battlefield. Originally, the form of the soul battlefield manifests as a black light, rushing into the opponent's body, using the opponent's soul space as the battlefield for a soul duel.”
“However, you may have also noticed a flaw in the soul battlefield. If your opponent has teammates who are familiar with this skill, they could directly strike down your opponent’s physical body during your soul duel. In such a case, the consequences would be severe!”
“When the soul is bound to the body without the ability to separate, any damage to the body means the soul receives equal damage. Furthermore, during the operation of the soul battlefield, if the opponent's physical body dies, your soul will also perish!”
“After obtaining the soul battlefield, I conducted a thorough analysis of this skill and found a solution.”
After finishing, the demon lord lightly flicked his finger.
“The soul battlefield…”
In the realm of soul perception, a dim light quickly expanded from the demon lord, spreading across the entire underground cave in an instant.
When the light swept over Wen Yu, he felt a massive force surge toward him. His body trembled as his soul was forcibly squeezed out.
Looking at his soul body surrounded by runes and then glancing down at his physical body sitting cross-legged on the ground, Wen Yu immediately understood the operational method of the demon lord's soul battlefield—it did not rush into the enemy’s body but instead expanded the soul battlefield to create a field that forcibly extracts the soul!
In front of him, the demon lord's soul body walked step by step toward him, while the demon lord's physical body remained stationary. Wen Yu gently licked his lips and then asked, “Is this...?”
“A modified version of the soul battlefield. Once you obtain ownership of the skill, you can make some changes to it. The place you are in is also a soul battlefield, but this space is somewhat special.”
“If external life forms enter, they will be directly pulled out of their soul bodies, forced into a soul battle. At the same time, outside attacks, except for foundation level soul-type attack skills, will not pose any threat to the Barrier of the soul battlefield.”
“Likewise, foundation-level soul defense techniques will have no effect on the current soul battlefield.”
From a single-target attack, it has transformed into a field-type skill...
Wen Yu silently added in his heart.
“Of course, the original method of skill application can still be used. One is a single-target attack but fears foundation level soul defense skills, and the other is a group attack but is restrained by foundation-level attack skills of the soul system. How to use this depends on your judgment of the situation. This is just a minor trick; the focus is on the operational principle of soul separation.”
At this point, the demon lord flicked his finger once again.
Nearby, the range of the soul battlefield's Barrier slowly contracted. When the boundary retracted to Wen Yu's soul body, he felt a pulling force from his physical body. In the blink of an eye, Wen Yu's soul had re-entered his physical body, yet the demon lord's demonstration had not ended.
The soul battlefield gradually shrank until it returned to the edge of the demon lord's soul body, as if a membrane enveloping the demon lord's soul body completely—this meant that the demon lord's soul body was still in the midst of a soul battle.
“This is the general principle of soul separation.”
Watching the demon lord’s live demonstration, Wen Yu was enlightened.
...
The demon lord’s demonstration was one thing, but Wen Yu's true experience was another.
“The first step is to change the external manifestation form of the soul battlefield.”
