The Necromancer, Spirit Saint, and Saturday did not notice Ye Bai's arrangements.
A group of headless knights swung their swords at the Sunflower Fairy's clones.
However, when the sharp swords pierced the clones, they exploded one by one, and a crystal-clear seed instantly shot onto the ground.
These seeds are the essence of the clones; they will lie dormant on the ground quietly purifying the surrounding Yin Qi. Once they've accumulated enough energy, they will grow again, transforming into sunflower-like forms.
As numerous clones were destroyed, the Necromancer swaggered into the venue.
To his surprise, no one in the venue attempted to stop the Necromancer.
The entire competition ground was silent, a detail that made the three feel quite perplexed.
"Strange, why is the security here as weak as paper?"
The Necromancer suspected there must be deception involved.
"Necromancer, why do you become more distrustful with age?"
"Have you forgotten that our soul clones are still at the venue?"
"If they were false, wouldn't we have discovered it?"
The Spirit Saint quipped.
In fact, his heart was also uneasy.
The Spirit Saint, unlike the Necromancer, was highly sensitive to souls.
He could clearly sense that a barrier seemed to have been activated here, isolating him from the connection with his soul clones.
However, the Spirit Saint before them was only a fragment of the soul, communicating the specific situation to his main body through special means.
The Spirit Saint Palace.
This was the palace where the Spirit Saint's main body resided.
A multitude of disordered undead lingered around the palace.
The Spirit Saint had transformed this place to resemble the underworld, rendering it extremely eerie.
The Nether River, Reincarnation Platform, Bridge of Helplessness, and the Eighteen Layers of Hell were manifested here one by one.
A pale-faced youth dressed in a black dragon robe was seated on the throne.
Above him floated a multitude of Soul Fire.
These ghostly fires illuminated the surroundings with their eerie blue glow.
A massive ox-headed figure stood beside the youth, holding a chain splattered with blood.
A horse-headed figure stood by with a steel fork.
These two exotic beasts were named Oxhead and Horseface by the Spirit Saint.
And his Spirit Saint Palace was also called the Eighteen Layers of Hell.
"Oh, Flame Country is quite crafty, employing a mirage technique."
"Fragments of the Necromancer's soul scattered everywhere, indeed affecting its soul."
"That's why its perception ability is so weak."
The Spirit Saint had a secret technique capable of cleansing souls and injecting them with his own memory, directly creating a clone.
However, every clone was infused by the Spirit Saint with a portion of his main body's thoughts.
So, no matter how many clones died, it was merely an expenditure of effort for the Spirit Saint.
"The Necromancer always aimed to seize the Spirit Saint's legacy."
"He wants to emulate the Trinity plan and thus take steps toward becoming a god."
"But it's not easy to take that step, related to both talent and luck."
"However, I don't want to become a vessel for the president."
The Spirit Saint was the leader among the Three Saints, having occupied the position for over twenty years.
During this time, the Spirit Saint gathered a lot of information.
At the same time, he was also the most deeply concealed one.
The four elders representing wind, fire, water, and earth were like four mountains weighing on the Spirit Saint's head.
They were fervent followers of the president, and if the Spirit Saint ever showed the intent to leave, they would surely apprehend him.
Therefore, the Spirit Saint's thought was simple, to keep the four elders constantly occupied.
The main idea was to give them something to do.
The Spirit Saint was currently executing a grand plan, intending to extract his own soul and use a Tier Seven exotic beast's soul to create another self.
However, the process was tremendously complex, involving various secret techniques.
If possible, the Spirit Saint would prefer not to endure such hardships.
But he understood clearly that he was currently unable to rival the four elders of wind, fire, water, and earth.
Because he discovered, regardless of how remarkable his talent was, affected by the Trinity plan, he couldn't break through to Tier Eight.
While the four elders of wind, fire, water, and earth were Tier Eight giants, they could break through to Tier Nine at any moment.
The president didn't want the Three Saints to break free from control, so he imposed the most malicious curse, restricting every Saint at the Peak of Tier Seven from advancing another step.
Hence, the Spirit Saint planned to betray the Resurrection Association and pledged allegiance to Flame Country.
He intended to offer all of the Spirit Saint's legacy in exchange for a chance to survive.
"Oxhead and Horseface, directly close the palace doors. If someone comes calling, tell them I'm in seclusion, intending to break through to Tier Eight soon."
The Spirit Saint knew clearly that using this excuse, the four elders, despite knowing they couldn't break through, wouldn't disturb him.
They couldn't openly admit they already knew the Spirit Saint couldn't break through and could only serve as a vessel.
"Next, Black and White Impermanence, make a trip and deliver this Soul Crystal to Ye Bai."
"This Soul Crystal has magical effects on Ye Bai's elves; I don't believe he would refuse my goodwill."
The Spirit Saint proceeded according to the plan, gradually weakening the forces of the other two Saints.
The best scenario would be if one of the Saints was suddenly killed during this period, delaying the Trinity plan for a while longer.
