381: Spirit Alarm
After the commander from the Silver Sea Universe withdrew from the battlefield, he fully informed Leven about Xun Xiuyuan's appearance.
As the Minister of War, Leven was the direct superior of these commanders.
Leven's phantom appeared in the Void Realm, looking at the commander and asking doubtfully, "A True Saint from the Yuan Ling Universe killed everyone in your entire military camp?"
Leven paused after saying this, then continued, "Are you sure you're awake? Do you know what you're saying?"
The commander anxiously explained, "It is true. This person possesses an extremely powerful Soul Secret Skill. With just one skill, tens of thousands of Great Saints lost all power to resist and were completely wiped out."
Leven's expression changed, and only then did he realize that the commander before him was not joking.
He then said, "I am not in the Silver Sea Universe. Report this matter directly to Lord Nuke and see what opinion Lord Nuke has."
The commander nodded and ended the communication with Leven.
Leven had now arrived at a continent extremely far away from the Silver Sea Universe. This continent was the base of a very ancient Universe.
Although that Universe had collapsed, the base remained preserved and became a large gathering place.
It was also one of the strongholds of the Silver Sea Void Pirate Group.
Leven came here intending to meet Lai Wu and see if he could retrieve that spatial cosmic core.
After the commander reported everything to Nuke, Nuke was also completely bewildered.
After thinking for a long time, he said to the commander, "You return to the Silver Sea Universe first. Temporarily abandon guarding that Void Realm passage. Since it's a powerhouse from the Yuan Ling Universe, let the Phantom Poison King handle it. We don't need to notify them."
Seeing this, the commander nodded in affirmation.
Nuke's concealment was entirely reasonable. Whether it was the Yuan Ling Universe or the Phantom Poison Universe, both were potential enemies of the Silver Sea Universe and would clash sooner or later.
No matter how these two Universes fought, it was good news for the Silver Sea Universe.
It was just the sacrifice of those Saint Kings that truly pained Nuke.
Qing Hui and Hong Yu faced the four Six-Element Saint Kings before them with grim expressions.
It was a two-on-four situation, leaving them with no capacity to aid the Great Saint battlefield below.
Qing Hui transmitted a message to Mountain Fire and Kun Mu: "If the two of you can lead the Great Saints to withstand this wave of attack from the Phantom Poison Universe, then the Yuan Ling Sect's suspicion of you will be completely cleared."
Qing Hui's words seemed to offer Mountain Fire and Kun Mu another choice.
Mountain Fire and Kun Mu exchanged glances and charged once more toward the Great Saint Realm battlefield.
Seeing this, Qing Hui also exchanged a glance with Hong Yu and once again blocked the attacks of the four Six-Element Saint Kings opposite them.
Yuan Yi and Huan You were also facing the attacks of four Six-Element Saint Kings, but their situation was much better than Qing Hui's.
Because Huan You's strength was extremely formidable even among Six-Element Saint Kings, he handled a one-on-two fight with ease.
Although Yuan Yi was slightly weaker in strength, he had many treasures.
As True Person Yuan Ling's younger brother, True Person Yuan Ling had practically armed Yuan Yi to the teeth.
As soon as there was any sign of being unable to hold on, Yuan Yi would throw out a disposable marvelous item to resist the opponent's attack.
This greatly frustrated the two Six-Element Saint Kings opposite them. Although the Soul Secret Skill had an effect on Yuan Yi, it was extremely minimal.
For the physically weak Phantom Saint King, setting aside Soul Secret Skill, trying to use the Physical Body and World Power to kill a Six-Element Saint King was incredibly difficult.
Even fighting two against one, it was still difficult to achieve success.
Huan Xuan was also struggling alone to fend off the attacks of two Single-Realm Saint Kings, merely holding on and completely unable to launch an effective counterattack.
Huan You wanted to help Huan Xuan, but he was powerless to do so.
Just then, a large hand stretched out from the Void Realm and grabbed at Huan Xuan from the air.
Simultaneously, a voice boomed across the field: "You betrayed the Phantom Poison Universe, you damned traitors."
As soon as the words fell, the giant palm seized Huan Xuan's head. With a squeeze, Huan Xuan's head shattered like a broken watermelon.
Following this, Huan Xuan's corpse slammed onto the ground like a ragged sack.
Huan You launched a forceful attack and retreated urgently.
Because the voice of the newcomer was very familiar to Huan You—it was his old adversary, the Phantom Poison King.
Seeing the situation, Yuan Yi also backed away and stood beside Huan You.
Yuan Yi looked at the appearing Phantom Poison King and laughed loudly, "Phantom Poison King, you still have time to come here and join the battle? Don't you care about your home base?"
When the Phantom Poison King heard Yuan Yi's words, his expression darkened.
The reason he launched this reckless, all-out attack,
Was precisely because someone had launched a coup d'état inside the Phantom Poison Universe, and he had to rush back as quickly as possible.
The Phantom Poison King ignored Yuan Yi and looked instead at Huan You.
"Grand Elder, do you think arranging for your people to launch a coup inside the Universe will force me to return? As long as I quickly kill you and then go back, it will be in time. When that happens, I will execute your disciples and former subordinates, wiping out nine generations of their families until not a blade of grass grows."
Huan You's expression was as calm as an ancient well. He said faintly, "Those people launched the coup without my instruction. I have not betrayed the Phantom Poison Universe; I merely want to survive. I had already submitted; it was you who was uneasy. Your paranoia is too severe, and that is the fundamental reason they launched the coup."
Upon hearing this, the Phantom Poison King became even more furious.
Huan You's action was clearly a psychological tactic.
The Phantom Poison King roared, "Old scoundrel! I won't believe anything you say! Everything I do is only for the Phantom Poison Universe, and only I can lead the Phantom Poison Universe to the next level!"
After speaking, the Phantom Poison King gave Huan You no further chance to talk and attacked directly.
The Phantom Poison King title was a King's Title bestowed by the Cosmic Alliance.
He was at the Peak among Six-Element Saint Kings, and only this level of strength would be granted the title of King by the Cosmic Alliance.
The Phantom Poison King's strength was a notch higher than that of Huan You, Mortal World, and the others.
With the addition of the Phantom Poison King, Huan You's situation immediately became precarious.
Just as the Phantom Poison King and Huan You were locked in battle, an alarm sounded from the East Fortress of the Yuan Ling Universe's base.
It was not a normal alarm, but the World-Destroying Alarm issued by the Artifact Spirit at the center of the base.
Qing Hui, Mortal World, and the other Saint Kings all changed expressions. This was a sign that the central great hall had come under attack.
Qing Hui's voice rang out above the entire base: "Everyone, retreat immediately to defend the Artifact Spirit Hall at the center of the base. Everyone, regardless of Realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Hui and Hong Yu forced back the opposing Saint Kings and instantly teleported toward the Artifact Spirit Hall at the center of the base.
That place was the entrance to the Yuan Ling Universe. If even one hostile Saint King entered, the fighting at the base would become meaningless.
A single Saint King could destroy an entire Universe in a very short time.
