Following the demon lord's instructions, Wen Yu's soul slowly floated back into his body.
The fusion of the soul and body did not produce any peculiar changes—long before he acquired the soul battlefield, the physical quality of Wen Yu's soul body had already become disconnected from that of his physical body. At this moment, the gap merely widened, but there was no negative effect.
Slowly standing up, Wen Yu casually moved some joints, then closed his eyes to fully experience the sudden surge of soul power. Afterward, he turned to look at the demon lord.
"If you feel fine, then carry on."
The demon lord glanced at Wen Yu and then spoke.
……
The enhancement of soul power spurred the amplification of Wen Yu's skills while in soul form.
When his soul body appeared again and unleashed the dark absorption technique, the light sphere, only the size of a soccer ball, shrank at a visibly rapid pace. Wen Yu felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, as if he had bitten into a bun, and then with a “pop,” the light sphere vanished without a trace.
At the same time, a “ding” sound echoed.
Among the remnants of the light sphere, a broken fragment of a pearl fell to the ground.
Before Wen Yu could take a closer look, the demon lord, who had been sitting still, slowly opened his eyes and stood up.
The sound of joints creaking echoed; the demon lord's body resembled a machine that had not been operated for a long time, gradually regaining vitality. He gently waved his hand, and the pearl fragment on the ground was attracted by an unknown force, flying directly into the demon lord's grasp.
"What is this?"
"Soul Orb."
With these simple two words, the demon lord immediately closed his mouth, apparently not intending to elaborate further.
Wen Yu wisely chose not to ask more questions.
……
After surveying the surroundings of the cave for a while, the demon lord turned back to Wen Yu.
"Let's go; follow me back to the Palace of the Eight Extremes to find Bai."
This was already part of the plan, so the demon lord paid no mind to Wen Yu's thoughts and feelings at that moment. In a flash, he directly grabbed Wen Yu's shoulder.
A black light erupted from the two of them, and in the next second, Wen Yu felt as if his body had turned into a phantom, floating upward alongside the demon lord.
They soon broke through the thick layer of soil above their heads and landed on the surface.
……
Dim light gradually poured down from above, revealing a scene on the surface that was just as Wen Yu had seen before.
However, the stench of decay and the overpowering smell of blood that pervaded the air made Wen Yu frown heavily.
In a state of soul perception, Wen Yu clearly felt the concentration of demonic energy on the surface rising once again. At the same time, the surrounding air was filled with an intense sense of murder that made Wen Yu extremely uncomfortable.
"The war has begun... so many people have died..."
Wen Yu murmured softly. The situation he sensed was eerily similar to when the demonic creatures attacked the gathering place in Beijing—even ordinary people could feel the tense and sinister atmosphere of war, and with Wen Yu's strength, how could he not sense it?
"No, it's not war."
The demon lord's deep voice rang out as he closed his eyes, fully unleashing his sensing ability.
"What an interesting little fellow; come, let me take you to see."
After saying this, the demon lord slowly opened his eyes and headed off in a specific direction.
"But, what about the Heavenly Dao..."
"Don't worry; even though the Heavenly Dao is an eleventh level transcendent strongman, he cannot act with impunity here. You may underestimate the strength of these demonic clans. Although an eleventh level strongman is unattainable, some limit breaker level demonic entities are equally formidable. For limit breakers, levels are not insurmountable chasms. If the Heavenly Dao dares to take significant action, there will be demonic creatures to stop him."
……
Wen Yu did not know how strong the demon lord's sensing ability was, but with the sudden surge of his own soul power, he believed that his soul perception range was already sufficiently large.
