The remaining two clones, along with the main body, formed an encirclement around Huo Yuhao.
Yu Hongzhi stared intently at all of Huo Yuhao's vital points,
searching for a way to kill him with a single blow.
Soon, the two clones launched their attacks. One used the Soul Bone Skill Shadow Sealing Curse to lock the enemy's movements.
The other used the same tactic, directly striking Huo Yuhao's heart.
However, the result remained unchanged; the clone's hand passed straight through the opponent's body, as if the opponent were merely a projection.
After these two tests, Yu Hongzhi was certain that the opponent possessed an ability similar to a ethereal Soul Skill.
Yu Hongzhi had seen ethereal Soul Skills before during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
However, those skills only temporarily rendered the body into nothingness, lasting only a short time, and unable to interfere with the outside world.
But this one-eyed masked man displayed the ability to maintain etherealness while also distorting space.
Troublesome.
Sweat dripped continuously from Yu Hongzhi's face; he was already drenched in sweat.
He was certain that this one-eyed masked man possessed an extremely rare spatial attribute Martial Soul.
This type of martial soul is extremely rare, even rarer than dark or light attributes.
No one with this type of martial soul is weak.
Having roamed the continent for many years, he had only encountered a martial soul master with this attribute during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
However, at that time, he was mainly a support, and the one who truly faced this ability was his former team captain.
Even though the captain's martial soul was the top-tier True Dragon martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex,
it still took considerable effort to defeat him.
His own Dream Eater martial soul was quite good, but it was still far inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
However, he wasn't without advantages; the spatial attribute of his martial soul meant his mental strength was inferior to his own.
If he could seize the opportunity and use his first and second soul skills to influence him, preventing him from entering the ethereal state, he could kill him.
"The two clones can use their soul skills a total of three times. I must find a way to influence his brain with my mental strength."
Yu Hongzhi's fifth soul ring was obtained from the ten-thousand-year-old Mirror Beast of the far north. The soul skill he acquired allowed him to summon three clones, each with the same level but only one-third the soul power of the original.
Moreover, a clone can only use its soul skills, including soul bone skills, twice, and only the first three soul skills.
This ability can only be used once every twenty-four hours.
As for the fourth soul skill that he hadn't used yet, Yu Hongzhi gritted his teeth. If he could, he would never want to use this soul skill in his entire life.
His fourth soul skill was called the Remnant Dream Blade, which he had obtained from a mutated demonic tree.
Once this soul skill was used, his body would inevitably transform into a dreamlike state, simply put, it would gradually turn into bubbles.
Just like the Little Mermaid in Huo Yuhao's previous life, it would completely vanish into nothingness.
The entire process was irreversible; once used, there was no turning back.
Therefore, no matter what kind of competition he had encountered before, he had never used this soul skill.
The effect of this soul skill was worthy of its domineering side effects.
Drawing a blade from the dream, this Remnant Dream Blade would constantly cut through reality, turning reality into a dream, and solid into illusion.
Yu Hongzhi transmitted his will to his two clones.
The two clones, having received the will of the main body, began to launch a fierce attack on Huo Yuhao without regard for anything else.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled; his opponent should know that such actions were futile.
However, he could only continue maintaining his Divine Might, as his body couldn't withstand the attack of a Soul Emperor.
Not only did Yu Hongzhi want to find an opportunity to kill him instantly, but Huo Yuhao did too.
During the time he maintained his Divine Might, he could clearly feel the depletion of his pupil power; only because his pupil power reserves were relatively sufficient did it not affect his vision.
To conserve his pupil power, Huo Yuhao had to find an opportunity to quickly end the battle.
Otherwise, once his pupil power was excessively depleted, he would be the one to suffer.
Therefore, this time Huo Yuhao didn't simply passively take the beating. His figure moved like a ghost, passing directly through the two clones and heading straight for the opponent's main body.
If he couldn't reach him, Huo Yuhao would have no choice but to grit his teeth and use high-consumption pupil techniques like Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, or long-range Divine Might to kill him.
Just as Huo Yuhao was still a short distance away,
Yu Hongzhi suddenly moved, his immense mental power assaulting Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.

Yu Hongzhi's first and second spirit rings glowed yellow in the dense night.
Huo Yuhao realized that his opponent seemed to have misunderstood something, making a wrong judgment and attacking him with mental power.
"Good!"
The mental power in his spiritual sea, which had reached the Spirit Sea Realm, instantly blocked the attack, and the extremely high-quality mental power even corroded his opponent.
Yu Hongzhi obviously did not expect this situation and his eyes widened.
"Damn it, you are also a mental attribute spirit master!" Yu
Hongzhi had no time to regret it. Only two minutes had passed, and the cooldown of his sixth spirit skill had not yet ended, so he could not replace it.
Seeing this, the two clones immediately used the spirit bone skill Shadow Sealing Curse to chase after Huo Yuhao, trying to buy time for the main body.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao was one step ahead.
A large hand was slowly approaching, reflected in his pitch-black pupils.
"Ah!"
"Since that's the case, then let you be the first person to experience my fourth spirit skill!"
"Remnant Dream Blade!!!"
Under the crisis of life and death, he burst out with his last courage and lit up the fourth spirit skill that emitted a noble purple light.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao's mental energy surged, the strongest sense of crisis he had felt since his transmigration surged through him.
The last time he felt this kind of crisis was when he faced a massive geological collapse in his previous life.
Huo Yuhao watched as Yu Hongzhi drew a long sword from a colorful bubble, the blade reflecting all sorts of bizarre and fantastical images.
The hilt and handle were interwoven and changing colorful ribbons.
The moment the sword appeared, the surrounding space hissed, and as it sliced through the ground, the stones and soil vanished as if erased by an eraser.
Yu Hongzhi's eyes flashed with ferocity; his hand was only gripping the hilt, yet his body had already begun to enter a dreamlike state.
His own death was certain, but he still wanted to take one of them down with him.
"Getting cut will definitely kill me!"
This thought suddenly became etched into Huo Yuhao's mind.
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, and his left eye's eye technique, the Land of Roots, began to prepare, ready to be used to save his life if he couldn't dodge and was hit.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao finally stopped holding back his eye power.
"Amaterasu!"
Dark flames instantly engulfed Yu Hongzhi, the hellish fire licking at every inch of his flesh.
Yu Hongzhi screamed in agony, frantically using his soul power to resist, but the intense heat not only scorched his flesh but also his soul power.
Realizing he couldn't extinguish the fire, he looked at Huo Yuhao, his wrist twisting as he tried to throw the sword.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Blood tears streamed from Huo Yuhao's eyes as he stopped him.
Amaterasu's black flames crackled and burned, but Yu Hongzhi made no further sound; his will was trapped in Tsukuyomi.
And so, his body was reduced to charred remains in the flames.
Huo Yuhao, with his left eye closed, removed his mask, wiped away the blood and tears, and said,
"Thank you for letting me know that I'm not yet a strong person."
"I'm just a lousy cheater."
"My magnanimity, will, and determination are far inferior to yours."
"You taught me something: even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, otherwise, even a cornered rabbit will bite and retaliate."
If Huo Yuhao had used Amaterasu when he first discovered him, he wouldn't have had a chance to struggle.
"What a sorry sight."
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. From the beginning of the battle, he had been trying to conserve his eye power, but this very thought had actually consumed a large amount of it.
He was about to leave when he suddenly realized that the sword was still engulfed in flames, not having disappeared with its master's death.
