Using the power of the Heavenly Dao and runic formations,
Nie Li moved his right hand, and the Green Poison Pearl shot forward, slamming into a Heavenly Star Rank Black Water Poison Spider.
Splat!
The Green Poison Pearl bored straight through the spider's body. In moments, the entire creature turned green, staggered a few steps, and then collapsed onto the ground with a heavy thud.
Nie Li focused his mind, and the Green Poison Pearl flew out from the spider's corpse, returning to hover above his palm.
Having activated the Green Poison Pearl's power, Nie Li no longer dared to touch it with his bare skin. Its toxin was far too potent—even he himself couldn't resist it.
Wu Ya Zi glanced at the green, crumpled body of the Black Water Poison Spider and felt a chill run through him. The bead in Nie Li's hand looked genuinely terrifying. He himself barely dared to touch the Black Water Poison Spider's venom, yet Nie Li's Green Poison Pearl had managed to poison the spider to death!
Once they left the Phantom God Palace, if he wanted to fight Nie Li, he would have to watch out for that bead.
Beyond the Green Poison Pearl, Nie Li also began studying the Evil-Warding Jade Slip, channeling wisps of Heavenly Dao power into it and slowly forging a connection.
The Evil-Warding Jade Slip could suppress Demon bloodlines—perfect for use against Wu Ya Zi!
However, Nie Li now carried demon blood within his body as well. Once he activated the Evil-Warding Jade Slip, he would no longer be able to draw upon his demon blood.
After gradually establishing a connection with the Evil-Warding Jade Slip, Nie Li found that he could slowly control the thirty-six thousand or more runic patterns inscribed upon it.
Those thirty-six thousand patterns each served their own purpose, and Nie Li could study them at his leisure.
Mysterious strands of power seeped through the Evil-Warding Jade Slip and permeated Nie Li's body. He felt layers of runic energy wrapping around his Life Soul, giving it an additional layer of protection.
The powers of these various treasures converged together, making Nie Li's Soul Sea churn and surge ever more violently.
Pop!
Another Life Soul ignited—a silver-white one.
The eighth Life Soul!
Since the Blood Demon Sacrifice, Nie Li had advanced three full ranks. The Evil-Warding Jade Slip had played some part in this, but there was no doubt that the Primordial Bloodline had been the greater contributor.
Nie Li now possessed many powerful treasures that ordinary Heavenly Fate powerhouses could never obtain. Even the slightest activation of any single one was more than enough to break through his current realm.
He hadn't expected the eighth Life Soul to be silver-white.
Nie Li could feel that under the combined effect of all these treasures, the expansion speed of his Soul Sea had reached an astonishing degree.
He could become even stronger!
Nie Li continued to push his power higher, continuously channeling the Evil-Warding Jade Slip.
Mysterious runic patterns flowed ceaselessly through his Soul Sea.
His strength began to surge toward the Nine Life Souls.
Strands of mysterious runic patterns lashed out toward the Shadow Demon, the Tiger Fang Panda, and the Holy Blood Winged Serpent—binding all three demon spirits like chains of light, wrapping tightly around them.
All three demon spirits struggled frantically.
What was happening?
Nie Li's heart tightened with alarm. The Shadow Demon, the Tiger Fang Panda, and the Holy Blood Winged Serpent were all demon spirits. The Evil-Warding Jade Slip could suppress demon beasts—did that mean it could also suppress these three demon spirits?
