"If I keep using the power of law to temper my body, it might reach the next rank before long,"
After closing his consciousness and cultivating for a long time, Nie Li finally opened his eyes.
When it came to Nie Li's cultivation speed,
"Nie Li, this reconstruction you keep talking about — what method are you actually going to use?" Yu Yan could no longer hold back and asked.
Nie Li glanced at her. So Yu Yan was finally willing to believe him. He smiled and said, "The fundamental building blocks of the power of law are actually a set of runic patterns. Comprehending the power of law means mastering a system of those patterns. Your divine core shattered, which means the rules of those patterns were scattered. As long as I reconstruct the rules of the patterns, your divine body will gradually strengthen, and the power of law from heaven and earth will flow back into your divine body."
Yu Yan seemed to half-understand, but there was still something that baffled her — how could the fundamental building blocks of the power of law be runic patterns?
Nie Li didn't want to explain further. "Anyway, just know that I can help you reconstruct your divine body!"
"If you're going to reconstruct my divine body, you'll need to embed those runic patterns into my body, right?" Yu Yan murmured for a moment, then said.
"That's right." Nie Li nodded.
"Then fine. I can give it a try." Yu Yan nodded as well.
"After I rebuild the runic pattern system inside your body, the power of law from heaven and earth will naturally converge on you. But the range will be quite limited. If you stay here in the
Hearing this, Yu Yan frowned slightly. "Once I leave the Black Spring, the several Legendary demon beasts hiding in the abyss below will definitely sense me. With my current strength, I can't fight them at all! Even if you reconstruct my divine body, my power can only reach the Legendary level for the time being."
"Leaving here isn't all that hard," Nie Li said with a faint smile. Although this Yu Yan goddess had lived for tens of thousands of years, she had always been immersed in cultivation, so her mind was rather simple. Reconstructing her divine body might only bring her to Legendary level, but a Legendary powerhouse was still a Legendary powerhouse! If he could bring Yu Yan along, he'd at least have another Legendary-level fighter at his disposal.
If Yu Yan knew what Nie Li was thinking, she would probably cough up blood from rage. She was a Spirit Goddess, and he was treating her as a mere fighter!
Of course, what Nie Li was doing benefited both parties. Yu Yan could recover her strength faster, and he would reap his own rewards from the process.
"Oh? You have a way?" Yu Yan raised a delicate eyebrow.
"I can use runic patterns to set up a formation that mimics your aura, and then use more patterns to conceal your presence so I can take you out," Nie Li said with a slight smile. "However, there's one troublesome detail — it will require your divine sister to suffer a slight indignity."
Yu Yan thought it over for a moment and nodded. "Fine. Go ahead and reconstruct my divine body." Although it was a bit embarrassing knowing that her divine body would be exposed to Nie Li, compared to the chance at a new life, none of that mattered. Only by reviving could she preserve a sliver of hope for the human race.
"Alright then, I'm going in." Nie Li nodded and dove straight into the Black Spring.
He swam deep into the depths until he reached the Scarlet Flame sphere once more. Looking inside, he could see Yu Yan's tiny divine body lying quietly within the crimson ball of fire. It was very small, but the figure was exquisitely shaped. At that moment, Nie Li didn't dwell on it — he simply began channeling runic patterns into his palm.
Various runic patterns shifted and transformed in his hand. Nie Li slowly placed his right palm over Yu Yan's divine body, feeling the runic structure within. Though Yu Yan's body was tiny enough that his hands could cover most of it, the smooth and delicate texture beneath his palm, the subtle curves he could feel — it made Nie Li slightly awkward.
After all, Yu Yan's divine body wasn't wearing a single thing right now.
He steadied his mind and activated the runic patterns.
BOOM!
A runic pattern was blasted into Yu Yan's divine body.
The pattern sank in and fused rapidly, as though it was a natural fit.
Above the Black Spring, Yu Yan's eyes snapped open. Though she was merely in a soul state, she could still feel the reactions of her divine body. A surge of powerful energy poured directly into her chest and abdomen like an electric current, instantly spreading throughout her entire body, giving her a strange sensation.
"Mmn." The tingling ache and numbing electricity were almost unbearable.
As Nie Li drove the patterns in, Yu Yan's divine body twisted and squirmed involuntarily.
"This is really going to kill me," Nie Li thought. If her body weren't so small — like a baby's — Yu Yan would absolutely be a devastating beauty.
BOOM!
Nie Li drove in another runic pattern, sensing the changes in Yu Yan's divine body as he did. Suddenly, he felt a torrent of mental impressions flood into his mind. Scenes flashed before his eyes in rapid succession.
