561: Chapter 561 Soul Forging with Fiendish Qi

As the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings took effect, Nie Ning's body began to repair itself.

However, all energy in this world belonged to the world core, so from another perspective, this meant plundering the Power of the World core.

Nie Ning could only make the best use of the world rune to weaken the oppression brought upon him by the world core.

As the world rune slowly approached the jellyfish, the world's coercion also became stronger and stronger.

When the world rune connected with the world core, Nie Ning did not complete the world rune, nor did he intend to try to obtain the world core's authority.

Enduring the pain of his body collapsing, Nie Ning then took out a puppet that looked similar to himself, and even its aura was extremely similar to Nie Ning's.

This was the spirit puppet he created!

It was a special puppet whose aura was almost identical to his.

In order to make it indistinguishable from the real thing, Nie Ning even used the soul-slashing secret technique to separate a bit of his own spiritual essence, and then fused it with the spirit puppet in front of him.

In this way, the spirit puppet's aura was almost indistinguishable from his own.

Gazing at the spirit puppet before him, Nie Ning sat cross-legged in the seawater, and his consciousness returned to his sea of consciousness.

At this time, his soul was still surrounded by black threads, which was the restriction set by Nales back then.

Nie Ning took a deep breath, and then used the soul-transfer technique to transfer the Artificial Spirit of the spirit puppet into his own sea of consciousness.

That was a speck of light glowing with pink, completely lacking the appearance that Nie Ning's soul body should have.

Under Nie Ning's control, the Artificial Spirit slowly approached the soul.

Seeming to sense the intrusion of external force, the threads surrounding the soul began to move closer to the soul.

Nie Ning did not panic, because he had already tested it long ago, which was why he wanted to borrow the high-dimensional Power of the World core.

Because theoretically speaking, the world core was on the same level as divine power, and its power hardly contained any impurities, making it a very pure energy.

Nie Ning directly activated the world rune, and then used the Power of the World core to expel the black threads, preventing them from approaching the soul.

The fact was just as Nie Ning thought; the Power of the World indeed suppressed the black threads.

However, this was only the beginning.

Since the soul had not broken away from the range of the black threads, coupled with the fact that the Artificial Spirit's aura was very close to Nie Ning's, the restriction set by Nales did not react strongly.

Nie Ning controlled the Artificial Spirit and, using the Power of the World, forcefully squeezed through the gaps of the black threads into the area where the soul was located.

Immediately after, Nie Ning tried to make his soul withdraw from the encirclement of the black threads.

But once he had this thought, the black threads would begin to increase their contraction force, obviously not wanting his soul to escape control.

Not only that, even the Artificial Spirit, which was close to Nie Ning's soul, was the same; as long as it wanted to leave the range of the black threads, it would be restricted.

Instead of worrying, Nie Ning was overjoyed; this proved that his plan was feasible!

However, getting the soul and the Artificial Spirit too close together was not a good thing.

It might become like the time Xiaoguang used the Mirror Pupil, or cause memory confusion, or even abnormal states such as the Artificial Spirit replacing the main body...

Let alone that the fit between Nie Ning's soul and the Artificial Spirit was extremely high.

Even if they were just placed together, a strange attraction began to emerge between them, seemingly wanting to fuse the soul and the Artificial Spirit together.

Fortunately, the Artificial Spirit was not strong, and Nie Ning could obliterate it at any time.

...

Seeing that neither the Artificial Spirit nor the soul could break free from the bondage of the black threads, Nie Ning could only use the Power of the World to buy time, shrouding them within the protective circle of the Power of the World.

However, this was only the first step, and in fact, it was also the simplest step.

Immediately after, Nie Ning took out various materials from his spatial ring and re-arranged a formation radiating a dark red color around himself.

The Fiendish-Turning Formation could gather fiendish qi here, and then use the fiendish qi to transform the soul into a fiendish soul.

Originally, Nie Ning did not want to do this.

After all, it was a soul manipulation technique, and he was afraid that there were hidden backdoors left behind by predecessors in it.

But compared to the threat of gods, the Soul-Reversing Fiendish-Turning Technique was not completely unacceptable, and furthermore, he was not directly practicing this technique.

To achieve a fiendish soul, the most crucial thing was still fiendish qi.

And the heavier the slaughter of a living being, the more fiendish qi remained on its body.

What he needed to do was to use the fiendish qi to refine the fiendish soul.

The moment Nie Ning activated the Fiendish-Turning Formation, he also activated the Power of the World, preparing to borrow the world core to gather the fiendish qi of this world.

But in just a breath's time, Nie Ning's expression changed drastically.

A massive amount of fiendish qi poured into Nie Ning's spiritual sea of consciousness, causing Nie Ning's spiritual sea of consciousness to turn dark red.

'Something is wrong!'

He hadn't even started using the Power of the World yet; where did this fiendish qi come from?

Moreover, the fiendish qi continued to surge wildly, and Nie Ning's consciousness began to become dazed, harboring an urge to wipe out all living beings completely.

'Damn it, was that debt counted against me too?'

Nie Ning suddenly thought of the destruction of Lata World.

But wasn't that destroyed by Eva...

'The Power of Corruption is indeed not a good thing!'

It must be that when the world core was contaminated, it caused the number of Corruptors born to surge, thereby slaughtering a large number of indigenous people of Lata World.

That way, it made sense.

Nie Ning gritted his teeth and tried hard to maintain his sanity.

It was too late to say anything now; if such a massive amount of fiendish qi was not resolved, it would definitely turn him into a monster that only knew how to kill.

The cultivation method of the fiendish soul surfaced in his mind, and Nie Ning activated the formation beneath him to begin transforming the fiendish qi.

At the same time, Nie Ning's soul began to absorb the fiendish qi in the sea of consciousness.

This fiendish qi was not simply absorbed by the soul, but transformed into runes that integrated into the soul.

During this process, Nie Ning endured tremendous pressure, accompanied by a pain as if his soul was being torn apart.

'Damn it, nobody said it hurts this much!'

Nie Ning clenched his teeth tightly.

He only felt as if his brain was about to explode, and his entire person was in a dazed state.

And when he wanted to just fall asleep like that, he would be awakened by the intense stinging pain of his soul, making Nie Ning once harbor the intention of wanting to give up.

Nie Ning could only use the Power of the World to maintain his spiritual wisdom from dispersing, but his soul was continuously weakening in this state.

Perhaps because there was too much fiendish qi, the conversion speed of Nie Ning's soul was very fast.

In just a short moment, the soul turned into a weird dark red, covered with all kinds of strange runes.

At this time, the impact of fiendish qi on Nie Ning had weakened a lot.

Gaining a breathing space, Nie Ning took out some pills that restored Spiritual Power and swallowed them.

Nie Ning returned to the sea of consciousness once more, controlling the runes within his soul body to arrange them into a formation pattern, which slowly floated beneath the soul body.

As the formation was completed, a dark red flame rose, beginning to calcine Nie Ning's soul.

Unlike the previous tearing sensation, the flame condensed by fiendish qi was biting his soul like ants, giving him an uncomfortable feeling intertwined with itchiness and stinging pain.
