562: Chapter 562 Another stroke of inspiration

Due to limited time, originally, according to the speed of the Soul Reversal and Sha-Turning Art, it would have taken at least three months or more.

But Nie Ning clearly did not have that much time to waste.

The consequence of forcibly compressing the time was that Nie Ning's soul began to show signs of disintegration, and the ectoplasm constituting the soul turned into specks of starlight and drifted away.

Nie Ning knew this couldn't go on, and could only use the Power of the World to bind the overflowing ectoplasm within a narrow space.

However, as time ticked by, Nie Ning's consciousness became blurry and unclear.

"Time is too tight!"

This was no longer a matter of whether he could succeed or not.

Once his sanity was missing, chances were his entire soul would instantly collapse.

To put it bluntly, he had overestimated himself too much.

Coupled with not knowing when the Mutated Giant Dragon would finish the battle, it forced him to shorten the time to a point he could not bear.

At this moment, Nie Ning already had the intention to give up.

Ectoplasm disintegration was no small matter.

At best, it would lead to memory loss; at worst, it would make him mentally disabled, or directly cause his soul to collapse and reincarnate.

Right now he could still bind it with his powerful Spiritual Power, but after a long time, the Spiritual Power would also dissipate along with the ectoplasm, and the consequences would be unimaginable by then.

After hesitating for a moment, Nie Ning still decided to give up.

Because he was already running out of ability to maintain his current soul form.

Although he didn't succeed, he accumulated a lot of experience, so it wasn't considered getting nothing at all.

Next time finding a weaker world, maybe he could complete the plan more smoothly.

But just as Nie Ning was prepared to give up, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind, and a crazy yet risky idea appeared in his heart.

The essence of Corruption is devouring and spreading; what if he converted the sha energy into the Power of Corruption, and then tempered his soul with the Power of Corruption?

If it were feasible, he might be able to use the Corruption trait to self-devour the overflowing ectoplasm, so he wouldn't have to care whether the ectoplasm would collapse or not.

Of course, if he really did this, there was a high probability he would directly transform into a Corruptor.

Because with his current Corruption resistance, he couldn't even withstand the Corruption of the previous Jerky Bear Head, let alone the sha-turned Power of Corruption formed by the living beings of a world.

Yet Nie Ning thought of one thing.

Thinking back to when he was in Ska City, he had almost been finished off by elemental erosion.

You must know that power has no distinction of strong or weak; it's just that its traits make the Power of Corruption difficult to deal with, but it doesn't mean that the Power of Corruption is stronger than other attributes.

Coupled with the previous matter of the fusion of ten elements, Nie Ning had always been well-versed in the way of balance.

To a certain extent, as long as it was well controlled, the Power of Corruption could be suppressed.

"Should I wait, or take a risky gamble?"

Nie Ning could perceive the violent fluctuations of the world core, which meant the World Guardian could be defeated at any time.

Moreover, the restrictions set by the gods were stirring restlessly, constantly squeezing the protected area formed by the world core.

In other words, there was not much time left for him!

Nie Ning gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.

"What is there to fear? When you have too many debts, you stop worrying; at worst, I'll just transfer the Power of Corruption to the world core!"

In the end, Nie Ning still decided to give it a try.

Immediately, Nie Ning began to convert the sha energy, transforming it into the Power of Corruption.

In an instant, an ethereal, bizarrely peaceful aura invaded Nie Ning's mind, and the collapsing ectoplasm seemed to be guided to converge toward the soul.

But while a large amount of the Power of Corruption gathered, the soul began to alienate and deform.

Perhaps due to the devoured creature genes, the soul turned into a chubby gray doll, its body continuously growing various exotic beast limbs.

In just a few breaths, the soul had transformed into a weird, distorted aggregate.

And Nie Ning's consciousness seemed to be divided into countless parts; the experiences of alien creatures at the moment of death began to continuously emerge in Nie Ning's mind, and various negative emotions almost shattered Nie Ning's consciousness.

At this time, Nie Ning had also reached his limit, and even his physical body in reality began to twist and deform like a piece of rotting meat.

After barely maintaining his sanity, Nie Ning began the next step of his plan.

Utilizing Qian Ning's Yuanfa Body trait, he converted the endless stream of sha energy into Elemental Power.

Then he continuously compressed this Elemental Power until a grain-sized, brilliant colorful crystal appeared in his sea of consciousness.

elemental erosion Crystal!

This was a special substance enough to completely destroy Nie Ning directly.

For Nie Ning now, it was even more dangerous than the Power of Corruption.

Once this elemental erosion Crystal came into contact with external elements, it would immediately swell and expand, thereby affecting his body and even his soul.

At this moment, this elemental erosion Crystal was firmly bound by the Power of the World.

Its erosive essence was revealed without a doubt, constantly wanting to assimilate and pollute the Power of the World.

Without time to catch his breath, Nie Ning directly threw this elemental erosion Crystal into his soul.

The Power of Corruption perceived the foreign object and desperately rushed forward wanting to corrupt it.

But Nie Ning converted the sha energy into Elemental Power, and poured a large amount of Elemental Power into the elemental crystal.

With a large amount of energy as a supplement, the elemental erosion began to counterattack the Power of Corruption, wanting to convert the Power of Corruption into elemental crystals.

Under Nie Ning's deliberate design, half of the alienated soul body turned into elemental crystals.

This half of the soul body restored to Nie Ning's original appearance, but it was sparkling bright like a piece of transparent colored glass.

Nie Ning at this moment was incomparably painful; both Corruption and elements were eroding his sanity.

If it continued, I'm afraid in less than half a minute Nie Ning's consciousness would be obliterated by these two forces.

However, these two forces had reached a weird state of balance.

The Power of Corruption devoured the elemental crystals, and the elemental crystals in turn eroded the Power of Corruption back and forth endlessly between the two.

Moreover, compared to the single sha energy impact, blending these two energies together gave Nie Ning a buffer time, making the change to the soul even more efficient.

Nie Ning did not stop, and once again activated the sha-turning formation beneath him.

Forcibly mobilizing the sha energy to reconcile the two energies, thereby fusing and tempering Nie Ning's soul.

At the same time, the Ning Shen Xing Yao formation diagram beneath the soul body began to rotate slowly, entangling, rotating, and blending the Power of Corruption and the elemental erosion power together.

However, every time the two energies completed a circle, Nie Ning had to endure the pain of soul-tearing, which was a hundred times more painful than using the Soul-Slicing Secret Art.

Facing this pain, Nie Ning wanted to give up, and the thought arose in his heart that it would be better to just die like this.

After all, he hadn't expected it to hurt so much; the intense pain caused his consciousness to start collapsing.

But adhering to the thought of "since I'm already here", Nie Ning didn't want to give up so easily.

Because if he really wanted to die, he wouldn't have had to endure this kind of pain.

Since he had suffered, naturally it shouldn't just end like this simply.

And as the energy in the soul body rotated, Nie Ning's alienated soul body actually began to slowly return to normal, turning back into its original human form.
