The Soul Clan's plan to invade the Starry Universe has been revealed as the Demon Buddha and Corpse Ghost Daoist attack. Two Soul Clan Dao Saints are defeated, their divine souls consumed and their bodies prepared for refinement. The Soul Clan realizes the Starry Universe's strength far exceeds their expectations.

"The third batch."

A long spear retrieved the corpse of a Palm Realm powerhouse, and after confirming that the opponent’s Divine Soul was completely annihilated, it slowly stored the corpse in the ring.

Palm Realm powerhouses, especially Dao Saints, even without mentioning their immense wealth, their physical bodies alone are priceless treasures, particularly for cultivators who have not reached the Palm Realm to use for enlightenment, providing unimaginable gains.

Or, for themselves, they are immensely valuable as well.

In times of peace, a Palm Realm level powerhouse’s corpse is incomparably valuable because there is simply no way to obtain it.

Even at this stage, these corpses remain highly valuable, potentially creating one or two more Palm Realm powerhouses for the Starry Universe.

Zhang Lu turned to glance back.

As the battle progressed, a few among them still hadn’t made a move, maintaining full strength.

Undoubtedly, these individuals were preserving their strength to deal with the top powerhouses of the Soul Clan Universe who had not yet arrived.

"These guys are truly impulsive."

Shaking his head, Zhang Lu returned to his original position.

The Starry Universe is still facing a massive threat, yet these people directly charged to the doorstep of the Soul Clan Universe.

He couldn’t decide if they had a big heart or were completely indifferent.

"Speaking of which, wasn’t I the same?"

Zhang Lu suddenly shook his head and chuckled, his face wearing an inexplicable expression.

No matter what he had encountered back then, whether he was the alter ego of the World-Destroying Beast or the Asura Blood Emperor, he remained himself.

Towards the world that brought him countless disaster and pain, he harbored no great sentiment, but regardless, that place was still his home.

"A golden nest or a silver nest isn’t better than one’s own kennel."

Zhang Lu looked back.

In that direction is the Starry Universe, also his homeland.

There, too, were those whom he loved.

Eighty million years, after walking with her through many lifetimes, finally, Zhang Lu awaited the day she embarked on the path of cultivation.

Though now she was still below the Soul Realm in cultivation, for Zhang Lu, being able to accompany her again was already satisfying.

These eighty million years had been filled with joy for him.

Aside from those who still tried to get him to return to the Doomsday Beast Soul ranks occasionally disturbing him, everything had been well.

"What I owe her, I can finally repay. But what I owe you, when will you give me a chance to repay?"

Zhang Lu slightly raised his head, looking into the boundless Vast Nihility, seemingly seeing someone beyond space-time.

"They’re here!"

A voice came to Zhang Lu’s ear.

The speaker was Fuxi Dao Saint, who advanced after the era of the Seven Realms and was one of the Twelve Saints.

Despite having only half human race blood, Fuxi Dao Saint held an exceptionally revered status among the Human Race.

"What are you thinking?"

Fuxi Dao Saint turned to Zhang Lu at this time, and with a smile, he spoke.

Zhang Lu paused momentarily, then shook his head: "Nothing, just thinking those guys might have chosen the wrong opponent."

"Indeed," Fuxi Dao Saint nodded, "they have indeed chosen the wrong opponent."

...

The light flashed in Netherworld’s eyes as the lineup dispatched by the Soul Clan Universe this time was evidently different from before. Perceiving previous oddities, the Soul Clan Universe cautiously sent over twenty Dao Saint powerhouses, with Heaven and Earth Realm Ancient Ancestors exceeding one hundred!

Such a force was already extremely terrifying.

For the Soul Clan Universe, it was also a desperate gamble.

The Minor Universe, after all, isn’t the Great Universe, with a very limited quantity of powerhouses it can nurture. Besides those previously sent into the Starry Universe, this was now their strongest lineup they could muster.

"Everyone, our Soul Clan Universe has no retreat anymore. We must win this battle! Otherwise, we’ll face extinction!"

The leading five Soul Clan Universe powerhouses turned and spoke to the many Soul Clan Universe powerhouses behind them.

This time, they did not bring cultivators below the Palm Realm.

Since the attackers set the battlefield outside the Universe, it indicated that the ones coming were definitely Palm Realm powerhouses, while mere Souls in the Vast Nihility would struggle to fight, let alone protect themselves.

So, this group represented their foremost battling force.

If they also lost, then the Soul Tribe would have no future.

Even if those attackers didn’t press further into the Soul Clan Universe, losing the protection of these Palm Realm powerhouses, the eventual fate of the Soul Clan Universe would be consumption by other Minor Universes or annihilation within the Vast Nihility.

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!!"

On the other side, Heavenly Buddha Saint and Taiyi Dao Saint wiped their mouths and stood up.

"Finally, they’re here?"

"Finishing this task, we will have one less enemy eyeing us, and perhaps also gain some time for those younger generations." Taiyi Dao Saint turned to the Heavenly Buddha Saint beside him: "Little Fatty, remember, make sure to return alive."

Heavenly Buddha Saint nodded, looking at the enemies outnumbering them several times, he softly spoke: "Old Taoist, you must live too."

"Yes, we... must live."

Earlier, they had seized advantageous timing and location, launching ambushes in greater numbers against fewer opponents to quickly eliminate several batches of powerhouses.

But now, things were different. The opponents detected anomalies, became vigilant long ago, and a sneak attack would no longer be effective.

Additionally, the Soul Clan Universe’s dispatched number was several times theirs.

This was a genuine tough battle.

Heavenly Buddha Saint and Taiyi Dao Saint eliminated two Palm Source Realm experts below them who had lost functionality, and their gaze fell upon a group of powerhouses emerging from the Soul Clan Universe.

Without any verbal communication, both sides immediately engaged in a ferocious slaughter.

This was a life-or-death showdown with no room for reconciliation, both fighting for survival.

Either you die or I perish.

"Haoheng, don’t die too easily," Netherworld softly said beside Li Haoheng.

"Rest assured, brother, I won’t."

Netherworld said ’don’t die too easily’ because he knew that in clashes between such high-level powerhouses, especially with the opponents’ numbers exceeding theirs, casualties were almost inevitable.

Moreover, Li Haoheng was a man.

Li Family men!

"Back then, I titled myself Eternal. Since I am Eternal, how could I, Li Haoheng, die here today?!"

Dozens of Dao Saints and Ancient Ancestors simultaneously unleashed the Power of the Universe, launching into an epic battle with unbearably intense aura where one faction was destined to be completely wiped out.
