In that moment, Nie Li suddenly understood many things.
Though the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword was incredibly powerful, it was a treasure without a weapon spirit.
But because the sword was far too powerful, its dormant state hadn't been an issue before. Now, after absorbing the power of the Holy Ancestor's Sword, it had been completely awakened — and it had begun frantically devouring Nie Li's soul!
"It wants to turn me into its weapon spirit!" Nie Li realized, breaking into a cold sweat.
If he became the weapon spirit of the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword, his physical body would be utterly destroyed!
He had worked so hard to be reborn, and he had two beautiful wives waiting for him — how could he just become the spirit of a weapon?
Nie Li let out a roar and began furiously driving his Soul Sea to resist the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword, but he could feel his Soul Power being torn away bit by bit.
At that moment,
Seeing this, Goddess Yuyan was filled with anxiety.
The situation was dire, and she was completely powerless. The might of the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword was far beyond anything she could contend with. All she could do was keep feeding Soul Power to Nie Li, but it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
All this time, Goddess Yuyan had believed that the Holy Ancestor's Sword was the most powerful sacred artifact in the entire Dragon Ruins Realm.
Only now did she truly understand that, compared to the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword, the Holy Ancestor's Sword was not even worth mentioning.
The Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword was not something from the Dragon Ruins Realm!
Perhaps it came from another world — something of an entirely higher plane!
Seeing Nie Li and the others in such pain, the Golden Egg blinked, looking rather curious.
"Gugu, gugu." The Golden Egg wobbled down onto Nie Li's shoulder.
The very instant it landed on his shoulder, a tremendous force was ripped from its body, as though it were being drained dry.
"Gugu, gugu!"
"Gugu, gugu!"
The Golden Egg thrashed about, but no matter what it did, it couldn't break free. Nie Li's body was like a magnet, holding it firmly in place.
Nie Li was immersed in his own Soul Sea. To prevent his soul from being swallowed by the Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword, he had entered a peculiar state, using his Soul Sea to form a mysterious formation that blocked the sword's terrifying pulling force.
Though he hadn't found a way to resolve the situation, at the very least, he wouldn't be drained dry for the time being.
Nie Li's consciousness could sense that Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er were trapped in endless agony. He wanted to fight back, but there was nothing he could do.
This couldn't go on!
Just as he was struggling with no solution in sight, a torrential surge of power flooded in.
This power was like a raging flood, ceaseless and overwhelming — dozens of times greater than his own.
"Who on earth possesses such enormous power!" Nie Li was momentarily stunned. He reached out with his consciousness and realized it was the Golden Egg.
All this time, the Golden Egg had been like a starving ghost that could never be satisfied, endlessly eating inside the Landscape of Ten Thousand Miles. Nie Li had never imagined that such immense power had been accumulating inside this little thing.
"That's it!" Nie Li's eyes lit up as he quickly guided this stream of power, channeling it into the formation within his Soul Sea.
