Chapter 407: Who Hunts Whom?_2
Great Formations, not only sealed the space, but also acted like prohibitions, controlling the sealed areas, while conveniently depleting the elemental forces within that region.
Curses, spells, strength reduction... various means capable of diminishing strength, be they items, skills, or summoned creatures, were deployed one after the other.
The Alien Lords divided the workload quite explicitly, all in preparation for targeting Zi Liyuan.
From this assault, even without Zi Liyuan showing himself, the area he was in was locked down, and his body had several negative statuses indiscriminately stacked upon him, reducing his strength by as much as 20%.
The reason it was only a 20% reduction was entirely due to his Life Origin's transformation, equivalent to an Epic template, which made his resistance to abnormal statuses extraordinarily high.
Following that, the various powerful spells covering the sealed space were cast with reckless abandon, filling the entire area.
Blazing Skies, Fierce Whirlwinds, Icy Rain Curtains, Meteorite Fall...
One violent attack after another, like sparks striking Earth, was indiscriminately hurled at Zi Liyuan's location.
These wide-area AOE skills aimed to force a certain someone named Zi to show himself.
Once Zi Liyuan appeared, he would be met with even more ferocious attacks.
Having anticipated such a situation, Zi Liyuan was not the least bit flustered.
He drew several Fourth Tier scrolls from his space column and activated them one by one.

Group Invisibility Spell, Group Protection Spell, Group Armor Spell... the stacking of one skill after another provided Zi Liyuan and Dilys with seven or eight buffing BUFFs.
Just having had their strength reduced by 20% due to the Alien Lords' indiscriminate weakening attacks, this moment not only saw their power restored but also increased substantially.
Bone Shield, Bone Armor, Death Shield, Death Barrier, Death Barricade...
In almost an instant, and before those spell attacks could hit him, Zi Liyuan instantaneously cast more than a dozen spells on himself.
It can be said that, aside from not using Fourth Tier scrolls for protection, the protective measures of spells he cast, maximized his defenses in one go.
Dozens of different spells struck the protective barrier, raising layer after layer of ripples.
Watching as the barrier shields in front of him shattered into fragments, Zi Liyuan began refilling them calmly and methodically.
At the same time, he also locked onto the position of several Alien Lords with his Spirit, and then spears of Nether Force condensed from within his body.
Without making a sound, the Spears of Death shot out, and in almost an instant, penetrated those Alien Lords.

And then, a fireball exploded in this sea of green.
A spark of fire ignited this green sea.
Under the interaction of mutually reinforcing attributes, wood fuels fire, and in a flash, green turned into brilliant red.
Blazing Skies, the intense scorching heat of the flames immediately caused great damage to the host of Alien Lords and also delayed their escape speed.
What followed was the earth shaking, making it difficult for the Alien Lords to maintain balance, obstructing their escape route.
Then, metal spikes erupted from the ground, attacking the group of cowards attempting to flee.
On the periphery of the square, a water curtain barrier appeared, directly enclosing and sealing off the surroundings.
The outermost layer of the water curtain, under the power of Yuki-onna, turned into a solid layer of ice!
Just then, Fan Yuer, who had been observing in the shadows, drew out a Fourth Tier Space Seal Scroll from her space column and activated it without hesitation.
Since they had come, they shouldn't think about leaving easily. Without paying a harsh price, did they really think Purple Abyss Territory was like soft persimmon, to be kneaded and squeezed as they wished?

Next, Orochi and Yuki-onna coordinated with each other, initiating their hunting mode.
Of course, the Alien Lords were not without resistance, but those who were intent on escaping had no desire to engage in battle.
With the mindset that as long as I run faster than the others, they won't come after me, these Alien Lords really displayed their divine skills.
Even with the space sealed and spatial displacement abilities unusable, these Alien Lords still found ways to move quickly and escape.
Physical skills like Gale Step not only had an invisibility effect, but their speed also surged dramatically, not to mention they also pulled out all kinds of auxiliary tools to further enhance their speed.
If it weren't for Orochi working together with Yuki-onna to seal off the area, requiring breaking through the water curtain and the outer glaciers to escape, these trapped Alien Lords would have probably run off without a trace long ago.
However, among this group of Alien Lords, there were a few who had real skills.
For instance, one turned into a black shadow and then dove into another shadow. When he emerged again, he had escaped the Purple Abyss Territory, appearing in a hollow of a tree outside in the forest.
Shadow Displacement, utilizing shadows to enter the dark world and execute a spatial displacement effect.
Right from the start of the invasion, marks had been made outside the territory so that, in case of any contingencies, one could use the power of the shadows to escape to safety.
Some of the Alien Lords used the power of the shadows, escaping through shadow channels.
Others utilized elemental powers, transforming their bodies into elemental forms, effortlessly penetrating the barriers of the water curtain and glaciers to flee outside the sealed area, then running away rapidly.
One by one, the Alien Lords displayed their divine skills, with various equipment, skills, and items being activated and used.
Out of a dozen or so Alien Lords, almost eight had run off in just a few seconds!
And those Alien Lords who couldn't make a successful escape could only lie down honestly, becoming meat on some corpse-collecting maniac's slab, to be frisked open and contribute all of their powers.
Indeed, contribute all of their powers!
Bodies could be used as various experimental materials and, once used up, could still serve as corpse bombs.
The equipment on their bodies, of course, was stripped clean, leaving them only their underwear was already showing extreme courtesy.
As for the items in their spatial columns, of course, those were all taken out, becoming part of someone's warehouse collection.
As to how the great battle within the territory was going, Zi Liyuan didn't bother with it for the time being.
However, in Authority Town, he had already faced off against the Alien Lords.
Xiao Guang's ambush attack killed off a group, and after failing to ambush at the second hiding spot, he had to temporarily retreat.
But with Zi Liyuan there, how could he really just retreat?
It was nothing more than going back to bring more of the Undead Army to kill off these Alien Lords.
The Specter Dragon Lord Boss Legion, coupled with the Replicas, totaled tens of thousands, truly a sky-covering onslaught.
The Alien Lords who knew they'd been exposed immediately commanded the Wanderers and Mercenaries they'd recruited to surround and attack Zi Liyuan.
Of course, the team brought at a cost was nothing more than cannon fodder, their role being to hold back the Spectral Dragon and various bosses protecting Zi Liyuan.
The main force to capture the king first was, of course, those Alien Lords themselves!
If this bunch of Wanderers and Mercenaries were really that powerful, they'd have become Lords themselves long ago, TM. Why would they be recruited as hitmen and cannon fodder?
Nearly two dozen Alien Lords, almost without hesitation, took out the Array Plates they had prepared a long time ago as soon as they confirmed Zi Liyuan personally came attacking.
One Great Formation after another, not only blockaded space but also, like prohibitions, controlled the sealed area and incidentally drained the area's elemental power.
Curse, spells, weakening... various means to reduce strength, be it through items, skills, or summoned creatures, were deployed one after another.
The Alien Lords had a clear division of labor and were thus prepared to target Zi Liyuan specifically.
