424: Manipulating the puppet demon! A puppet within a puppet!

"No problem! No problem! The fact that you told me in advance means you've already made up your mind! Very good! Very good! Next time you look for me, I'll give you a discount!"

Su Lie responded to Gouli's question, "Whatever! I don't care! I'm not afraid of trouble!"

As he spoke.

He also saw the Puppet Heavenly Demon's panel through the territory's perspective.

Note: If the target's Spirit attribute is higher than your Demonic Thought value, your possession will fail.

【Soul Devour: Red God-level Quality; after successfully possessing a target and converting the target's soul, the Heavenly Demon can use this Talent to devour the target's soul to enhance its own attribute values and the power of Skills and Talents.

Note: After Soul Devour, the Heavenly Demon will completely control the target's body, and can even use the target's body to live and grow in the dimension where the life form resides. It can also gain all of the target's memories, emotions, and even use the target's body to cast the target's Skills, Talents, and knowledge.

Note: After Soul Devour, the Heavenly Demon will not be polluted by the various thoughts, emotions, knowledge, and memories in the target's soul. It will always maintain the clarity of its own memories and emotions, and will not become the devoured target due to Pollution.】

Buff: After Body Borrow, no power can detect that this life form is a Puppet life form after being borrowed by a Heavenly Demon.

Note: There will be spatial ripples upon return. If the space within the range is frozen, the Heavenly Demon will be unable to return.

Note: Upon return, if spatial fluctuations or large-scale spatial solidification occur, the Heavenly Demon will be unable to sense the Heavenly Demon Realm.】

"What powerful strength!"

After Su Lie looked at the Puppet Heavenly Demon's panel, a trace of drool involuntarily flowed from the corner of his mouth.

What surprised him even more was that.

The Heavenly Demon's leveling up was different from a Survivor's leveling up.

"A Level 60 Heavenly Demon only needs 6 experience points to level up? This obviously isn't as simple as killing 6 monsters and getting 6 experience points, right?"

A glimmer of wisdom flickered in Su Lie's eyes: "Could it be that one experience point is gained only after completing the process from possession to Body Borrow, then to devour, and finally to Return!"

"This seems much simpler than us Survivors leveling up!"

He then immediately manipulated the Heavenly Demon through the bone throne.

At this moment.

He saw a different world through the Heavenly Demon's vision.

What he saw were the soul bodies of this world.

The closest cluster of soul light to him was Gouli.

This could be distinguished by the shape of the light.

Beyond that.

There were countless light spots hidden underground.

These light spots, under the Heavenly Demon's vision, were like fireflies in endless darkness.

The Heavenly Demon could even ignore the obstruction of terrain and areas and directly enter underground.

This feeling was as if the entire world had turned into a vast ocean.

"What if I control this Puppet Heavenly Demon to possess a bizarre entity?"

Suddenly, Su Lie had a strange and wonderful idea.

Immediately after.

Su Lie first used Enhance on the Heavenly Demon.

Buzz!

The Heavenly Demon's body flashed with light.

The Heavenly Demon's quality changed from golden legend quality to Red God-level Quality.

Its attributes doubled.

【Demonic Thought: 30 million points; Stamina: 20 million points; Speed: 60 million points; Demonic Power: 100 million points】

At the same time.

The Heavenly Demon also awakened a Skill called Soul Resonance.

【Soul Resonance: Red God-level Quality; auxiliary Skill. After successful possession, this Skill can be used to find the target's soul frequency and achieve resonance and co-existence with it, increasing Corrosion speed by 10 times.

Note: This Skill needs to be used in conjunction with the Corrosion Skill.】

In addition.

The Heavenly Demon's Descent and Coordinate Skills both advanced to Red God-level Quality Skills.

Among them, the Descent Skill gained two additional permissions: it could identify Coordinates marked by other Heavenly Demons within the range of the descending world area and precisely descend into the target's soul through those Coordinates.

When descending to a soul with a Coordinate you left, your Descent will not generate any fluctuations, and no force, including fellow Heavenly Demons, will be able to detect your Descent.

The Coordinate Skill, on the other hand, gained an additional permission: the Coordinate left deep within the target's soul is a hidden Coordinate and cannot be identified by other Heavenly Demons.

The Puppet Heavenly Demon's Shadowless and Formless Talent was strengthened from golden legend quality to Red God-level Quality.

The disadvantage entry in its notes disappeared.

Evidently, the god-tier quality Shadowless and Formless Talent would not exit the shadowless and formless state, nor would it manifest any form, even when possessing and attacking a target life form.

This was a good thing.

It not only improved the Heavenly Demon's concealment effect but also increased the success rate of its Corrosion invasion.

Furthermore.

The Heavenly Demon gained two more Talents.

One of these Talents was called Loyalty.

This was an essential hidden Talent for all life forms strengthened by Su Lie.

This Loyalty Talent would make the Heavenly Demon permanently loyal to Su Lie. Even if it were freed from its Puppet state, it would still obey Su Lie's commands.

The second Talent was called Ecological Manipulation.

【Ecological Manipulation: Red God-level Quality; exclusive Talent for territory ecological aberration Puppets; Puppets within the domain can manipulate the power of the territory's ecological domain to Suppress enemies or cause them to be poisoned and injured.

Note: This Talent is only available to Puppets with a territory domain aberration. Once the target is freed from the Puppet state, this Talent will permanently disappear.

Note: This Talent cannot be devoured, fused, stolen, or extracted.】

"Awesome!"

Su Lie's eyes widened, and a smile played on the corners of his mouth: "Haha! This Puppet enslavement is great! If there were more... I could secretly control more factions with this!"

Just thinking about it was exciting.

"But! We'll have to see how it performs!"

Su Lie murmured to himself, "If possible! I'll have to use myself as bait and personally catch a Heavenly Demon! Not a Puppet Talent! This guy's range of activity is too limited!"

He immediately took action.

Su Ling, who was beside him, reminded, "Master! The Puppet Heavenly Demon can only operate within the territory's domain! If it leaves the domain, it will die!"

"Uh... I know!"

Su Lie nodded.

These Puppets, transformed by the power of the domain, essentially relied on the domain's power to live.

Su Lie quickly focused his attention on the Puppet Heavenly Demon.

He found that controlling the Puppet Heavenly Demon through the power of the territory, using the bone throne, gave him a sense of playing a third-person perspective game.

The Heavenly Demon's speed was very fast.

It only took a short 30 minutes to quickly float to the edge of the second sinkhole.

Here.

On the rock wall at the edge of the sinkhole, large amounts of lava still flowed backward from underground to the surface, attempting to burn away the Deadly Poisonous plants in this area.

However, the Deadly Poisonous plants in this area were different from those in other areas.

They were entirely flame-colored, with flames coiling around their bodies.

Standing at the edge of the sinkhole.

Su Lie looked down, using the Heavenly Demon's perspective.

He saw a large number of life forms with souls floating in the darkness at the bottom of the pit.

These souls were not complete; some were just a mass of gas, some only had half left, and some were already shattered.

The only complete and powerful soul was a cluster of soul in the darkness below, tens of thousands of times stronger than the other souls.

A cluster of soul fire also burned around this soul.

Su Lie could only see this form but could not see the actual scene below: "That largest cluster should be the bizarre entity!"

Having observed this.

Su Lie manipulated the Heavenly Demon to move downwards.

He simultaneously activated the Heavenly Demon's Silent Skill and Shadowless and Formless Talent.

"Since I can't see the environment here, only souls! Then I'll possess the largest soul! This must be the leader here!"

Su Lie controlled the Puppet Heavenly Demon, charging towards the target without hesitation...
