Elena was stunned when she heard this. She looked at the vortex in Lin Bei’s hand and became excited. “You actually obtained a top-grade Source of Darkness?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
Lin Bei frowned and asked, “Is this thing useless? Or does it have to be an ordinary quality Source of Darkness to save you?”
“No! It’s useful! And it’s very useful! Top-grade Source of Darkness is a royal item even among the Shadow Demons and Night Demons! With it, not only can you easily undo the restraints on my body, but you can also use it to directly refine this Blood Spirit Divine Pillar!”
Elena’s tone was excited. “This Blood Spirit Divine Pillar was a true divine artifact in the last era! Although it’s no longer as powerful as before because of the loss of strength, it still has Extraordinary power! If you can obtain it, your strength will definitely rise to another level! Also, the life force under the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar can be unsealed now!”
“That life force is what has been stripped from me over the years. If I reabsorb it, I can recover to my peak combat strength in a short period of time!”
Lin Bei was also a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the top-grade Source of Darkness in Badis’ hand was actually so useful?
It was unbelievable.
“There’s no time to lose. Let’s move quickly. I’ll teach you the method to use the Source of Darkness now!”
Elena said quickly.
“Okay.”
Lin Bei nodded. The warden of the Blood Demon Prison could appear at any time. If he was late, something might happen. It was better to be early.
[You have learned Darkness Control]
——
Darkness Control: Special skill.
After using it, you can control dark energy.
——
This was a special skill. There was no skill level, just like a limit breaking skill.
“You, a Light Priest, actually know Darkness Control?”
“This is nothing. I’ve been trapped here for more than a thousand years. I’ve been infiltrated by the power of the Law of Darkness and the Law of Blood day and night. It can be said to be a blessing in disguise. Now, other than light, I can also use darkness and blood energy.”
Elena smiled helplessly.
“Impressive!”
Lin Bei gave her a thumbs up and used Darkness Control he had just learned to control the Source of Darkness to seep into the chains on Elena’s body.
“So that’s what it is all about!”
With the Darkness Control, Lin Bei quickly understood the operation of the black chains. At this moment, the Source of Darkness was like a key. Under his control, it easily undid the shackles.
“Continue to use the Source of Darkness to infiltrate the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar and control its core! This way, this Blood Spirit Divine Pillar will acknowledge you as its master!”
As the black chains were untied, Elena stood up. Although her face was pale, her eyes were bright. She pointed at the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar under her feet and said, “Although it’s only Extraordinary now, the foundation of the Divine Artifact is still there. As long as you nurture it with materials, sooner or later, it will recover its previous divine light! With the support of the Divine Artifact, your combat strength will be even greater!”
Lin Bei nodded and controlled the Source of Darkness to seep into the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar.
In the depths of his consciousness, a colorful stone appeared.
Lin Bei knew that this should be the core of the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar.
The Source of Darkness quickly wrapped around the core.
Buzz!
The colorful stone quickly shook, as if it was resisting. Lin Bei’s body swayed violently, and his face was pale. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
“This Blood Spirit Divine Pillar is really fierce. However… don’t even think about defeating me!”
Lin Bei’s gaze darkened. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gathered all his energy. He activated the top-grade Source of Darkness with all his might and quickly suppressed the core of the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar!
After being silent for more than ten thousand years, the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar no longer had the power of a divine artifact. Therefore, even if the core tried its best to resist, it quickly calmed down under the suppression of the Source of Darkness.
“Sign a Spirit Contract.”
Beside him, Elena said in a low voice.
“Sign a Spirit Contract?”
Lin Bei was puzzled.
“That’s right. The divine artifact has a spirit. If you want it to recognize you as its master, you have to sign a Spirit Contract with the Artifact Spirit! Make it submit to you!”
Elena explained, “Quick, take advantage of the fact that the Artifact Spirit is weak and use the Source of Darkness to make it submit!”
“Alright!”
When Lin Bei heard this, he nodded. Under Elena’s guidance, he continued to fight the core of the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar for a period of time. Finally, an anxious begging voice came from the colorful stone. “I’m not fighting anymore! I can’t beat you! I admit defeat!”
“Then sign the Spirit Contract.”
Lin Bei smiled and threw out the Spirit Contract.
“Alright, I’ll sign it, alright? You’re really strange. Your realm is clearly not high, but you’re actually so powerful! Looks like you’re not trash. I want to follow you and live well in the future!”
The Artifact Spirit’s tone was relaxed. “I don’t know how many years I’ve been in this godforsaken place. It’s time to go out for a spin. Hey, kid, don’t die halfway. Otherwise, I’ll be bored again!”
“Also, also! You have to wash your hands before and after meals! Especially when you pee and poop, you have to wash your hands after you’re done! Otherwise, don’t touch me! I find it dirty!”
“By the way, I’m still very weak. Don’t disturb me if there’s nothing!”
“Also, you have to find more top-grade materials so that I can eat and sleep well. Only then will I have the strength to work!”
“In addition, I’m a principled Artifact Spirit. I’m not a divine artifact. I’m a demonic artifact! Remember this in the future!”
“Alright, that’s all I can think of for the time being. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to sleep! Bye~”
A series of voices flashed through Lin Bei’s mind. In the end, everything calmed down.
The corners of Lin Bei’s mouth twitched.
Damn, what was going on with this Artifact Spirit?
It was so arrogant. Why did it feel like it was the master?
Damn it, was this the tone to speak to its master?
If I don’t teach you a lesson in the future, you won’t know how awesome I am!
With this attitude, you still want to eat good materials?
You’re thinking too much!
I’d starve you for half a month first. If you don’t change your attitude, I would starve you for a year and a half. If that doesn’t work, I would continue to starve you!
You think you’re amazing as a divine artifact?
If I kill a Monarch now, I’ll get a True Extraordinary item!
It is only a matter of time before I obtain a divine artifact!
If you still dare to be so arrogant, you would starve to death!
Lin Bei curled his lips and ignored the Artifact Spirit of the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar. He put it away.
At the same time, he put away all the prisoners trapped on the Blood Spirit Divine Pillar.
“Next, I’m going to absorb the life force that has been lost over the years. The commotion will be a little big. I’ll leave the rest to you!”
Elena said in a low voice and flew straight into the huge life force vortex below to absorb it.
“…”
Lin Bei wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything.
Lin Bei sighed and shook his head.
“I knew it. This matter is not that simple!”
Lin Bei complained, “This commotion is not just big. I’m afraid everyone in the Blood Demon Prison has sensed it, right?”
Looking at the six-story space that was gradually dissipating below, Lin Bei was helpless.
“Abyss-level missions are indeed not that simple!”
Lin Bei and Qiqi leaned against each other and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid the most difficult time is coming. We might face many Extraordinary existences at the same time.”
“Don’t worry. Other than the warden we’ve never met, the other Extraordinary existences here… are nothing to be afraid of.”
“Sigh, I regret not bringing Jian Ba.”
Lin Bei sighed. With Jian Ba around, he could share the pressure. Now, he and Qiqi could only rely on themselves. As for Lucretia, who had just broken through to Extraordinary not long ago, he probably could not count on her.
“Looks like I have to pay a huge price.”
Lin Bei looked at his star power and looked at Qiqi. “Let’s be quick about it. I’ll use the star power to reduce their health. Then, you’ll use Sword Descends From the Nine Heavens and insta-kill them.”
“But… Sword Descending From the Nine Heavens is extremely powerful. They might not even be left with ashes in the end.”
“Well… Let’s do this! We have to be alive to get the spoils of war! Safety is the most important! As for the drops, there will be plenty of opportunities when my strength increases in the future! If I die now, what future is there to talk about? There’s no need to hold back. Defeat everyone as quickly as possible!”
Lin Bei said with a pained expression.
He had no choice. In this situation, he could face the siege of a group of Extraordinary enemies at any time. His life was the most important.
As for the spoils of war, how could they be more important than his own life?
“Who’s sabotaging the Blood Demon Prison? You’re courting death!”
In the void, a teleportation passageway suddenly appeared and an angry shout came. “All overseers, gather in the Purgatory immediately! Follow me and kill the troublemakers!”
“Understood!”
A uniform shout came from all directions.
“They’re here!”
Lin Bei’s gaze was solemn as he looked at the blood-colored figure walking out of the spatial passageway.
