On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

Ma frowned.

The ominous premonition that had been lingering in my mind since before the battle began suddenly intensified.

He couldn't explain where this feeling came from; his fighting instinct told him so.

Purple Eyes definitely has a backup plan.

He immediately attacked Zi Yan, intending to eliminate him and prevent future troubles.

Just then, a dark gray figure cut in from the flank of the battlefield with incredible speed, catching the enemy off guard and crashing into the encirclement first.

The newcomer used both hands simultaneously, striking the chests of the eight clones one after another.

The horse was thrown away by the force, but the blood-stained clothes absorbed all the damage, leaving it unharmed.

The man grabbed the woman with purple eyes by the waist, pulling her out of the encirclement and landing her steadily on a larger piece of planetary debris at the other end of the ruins.

Master Ma steadied himself and took a closer look.

The one who saved Ziyan was none other than one of their own.

Elder of the clan.

The elder of the ancient Heng tribe, the most senior and powerful elder in the tribe, and one of the few people whom Ziyan could not do anything about when she launched the massacre.

He has lived for over 30,000 years, and his strength is unfathomable.

Master Ma thought the clan elder had long since perished, but when he saw him again, he found him to be nothing more than a walking corpse.

The clan elder was the elder he respected most, who had devoted his entire life to the development of the clan.

"You beast!" the horse roared.

Purple Eyes got down from the elder's arms and stepped behind him.

He raised his hand and patted the elder's stiff shoulder, as if showing off his most prized possession: "The elder is unyielding to the death. I've tried to persuade him for a long time, but he still refuses to join me."

"There's no other way but to find a different way to keep him working for me. He's certainly not as strong as he used to be after being turned into a puppet, but if you want to beat him, you'll still have to put in some effort, right?"

"It seems you deliberately lured me here, having planned this all along."

Purple Eyes didn't deny it, and took the medicine from the elder's hand: "That's right. Elder, let my elder brother see your prowess."

The clan elder responded immediately, striking Master Ma directly in the face with a palm strike.

In their first encounter, the two were evenly matched.

The clan elder is dead, his soul is gone, he has no will to fight, he relies on instinct, and his strength has been greatly weakened, but the walking corpse is still incredibly powerful.

The ancient Heng people's innate ability to become stronger the longer they live is fully embodied in their elders.

The accumulation of over 30,000 years, even the remains of a dead body, cannot be easily defeated.

If it weren't for his value, Purple Eyes wouldn't have gone to such lengths to preserve his body.

She knew that the elders' combat power would be reduced after they were turned into puppets, but even if it was reduced by half, it would still be a trump card that could turn the tide of battle.

Throw it out at the crucial moment; how many deadly attacks it can block will give her as much breathing time as it can catch her breath.

Now is the time for that trump card to come into play.

Purple Eyes, hiding in the shadows, made sure that Milankel's attention was firmly drawn to the elder before taking the medicine he had taken from the elder.

Upon entering the body, it began to repair itself rapidly, and the speed was further accelerated by her special ability to reorganize toxins.

We must make good use of the clan elders' value and restore the clan as quickly as possible.

Ma quickly made a judgment.

We must act swiftly and decisively.

If the process drags on for too long, giving the purple eye time to recover, the odds of winning will be greatly reduced.

"Elder, I'm sorry."

He silently gave the order and unleashed his full power.

Eight shadow clones surrounded and attacked the clan elder from all directions.

The elder's empty eyes held no light, but his body's instinctive reactions were still astonishingly fast as he dodged and parried the attacks from the eight streaks of light.

Each of his blows was enough to shatter mountains.

Their fighting skills are even more refined.

When he was young, the clan elder was already one of the most powerful warriors in the ancient Heng clan. He had immersed himself in martial arts all his life, and his understanding of the moves was deeply ingrained in his bones. Even after his death, his battle consciousness, honed through countless trials, did not completely disappear.

The streams of light exploded, shattered, and dissipated around him, but they could never truly touch his body.

Troublesome.

Extremely difficult to deal with.

Even in his dead body, the elder's combat power still far surpasses that of a peerless master.

But in the end, it was already a corpse.

A fighting instinct that has lost its conscious support will ultimately have weaknesses.

Ma uses multiple shadow clones, sacrificing a few of them to create a fleeting opening.

The Heaven-Shattering Strike was unleashed, shattering the clan elder with a single punch.

The body turned to dust and vanished into the void, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Master Ma withdrew his fist, his chest heaving violently a few times.

Just as the clan elder vanished, a chilling sense of oppression suddenly rose from the other end.

"Blood Poison Devours Souls!" Purple Eyes' voice rang out in the poisonous mist, sharp and excited.

The poisonous mist surrounding her turned from dark to purple at that moment, becoming so dense that it was almost glowing deep purple, forming a huge purple poisonous skeleton.

Each wisp of poisonous mist was like a monster that had come to life, spreading out behind her with menacing claws.

Any monster could wipe out all life on a planet in a short time.

"Now it's my turn, prepare to die!"

The sea of ​​drugs surged and swept towards Master Ma.

Master Ma had seen this trick before.

Blood Poison Soul Devouring is Purple Eye's trump card, which raises the concentration and intensity of toxins in the body to the extreme, causing the toxins to undergo a qualitative change in a short period of time.

In this state, toxins can easily penetrate the body once they attach to it.

The blood-stained robe in the Eight Extremes Heaven was perfectly able to block it; this move was specifically created for her.

If it weren't for the elder's backup plan, he could have ended the battle before Zi Yan unleashed his Blood Poison Soul Devouring Technique.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The elder's delay bought Ziyan enough time, allowing her to play this card at the most crucial moment.

It seems we won't be able to get this done without paying a price.

Ma took a deep breath and formed an ancient hand seal with his hands in front of his chest.

That was a unique secret technique passed down through generations of the ancient Heng tribe, which, at the cost of burning one's own essence and blood, could elevate one's combat power to a whole new level in a short period of time.

This secret technique comes at a great cost, as each use reduces one's lifespan significantly, but the resulting boost is also terrifying.

The secret technique was activated, and the horse's entire body shone with a bright red light, with two clusters of blood-red flames igniting in its berserk pupils.

The horse's aura surged several times over at that moment, and its clones were fully replenished.

"bring it on!"

The two sides clashed.

With the enhancement of Blood Poison Soul Devouring, Purple Eyes, along with numerous monsters, launched a frenzied counterattack.

They were able to briefly withstand Master Ma's storm-like offensive.

All the monsters simultaneously launched a suicidal charge towards the horse. Their bodies expanded as they approached the horse, and when they reached the critical point, they exploded with a deafening roar. Each explosion released a highly toxic shockwave capable of corroding all life on the surface of a planet.

The monster keeps self-destructing, recombining, self-destructing, and recombining...

In the face of absolute power, all tricks are useless.

Ma successfully defended against several waves of poisonous attacks, and his eight shadow clones simultaneously activated Instant Flash.

All the clones vanished from their original positions in the same instant, precisely avoiding each of the self-destructing poisonous beasts.

The purple eyes' pupils contracted sharply at that moment, frantically maneuvering the poisonous mist in an attempt to rebuild the defense.

But the instant flash was too fast, catching her off guard.

When she finally pinpointed the location where the clones reappeared, eight blood-red figures had already surrounded her in the center.

It was completely sealed off, with no airtight seal.

"No--"
