Black and blue light intertwined, locked in a ceaseless struggle.
A moment later, black mist rose up, seemingly gaining the upper hand.
The black energy invaded in force, and the blue light retreated steadily, unable to resist.
"I never imagined the Soul-Sealing Staff was so powerful!"
Li Yao sighed.
Immediately, he pointed his finger at the Bloodthirsty Bead again, and a line of blood shot towards it once more.
This time, he sprayed a lot of blood onto the Bloodthirsty Bead, and the blood surrounded the bead.
Bathed in blood, the Bloodthirsty Bead shone brightly once more, launching a fierce counterattack against the Soul-Seizing Staff and quickly turning the tide, overwhelming the black aura.
The blue light and black mist continued their incessant battle.
At this moment, Li Yao controlled the bloodline and shot it towards the point where the Bloodthirsty Bead and the Soul-Capturing Staff collided.
Subsequently, the Bloodthirsty Bead gradually embedded itself into the Soul-Seizing Staff, and Li Yao's blood stained the area where the Bloodthirsty Bead and the Soul-Seizing Staff were embedded red.
A faint smell of blood filled the air.
After a short while, the black and blue energy that had been locked in a fierce battle dimmed and gradually began to merge.
Finally, with a 'crack', the black rod and green bead completely lost their luster, fused together, and fell to the ground.
Chapter 317 Three-Eyed Monkey
"We finally succeeded!"
Li Yao was overjoyed to see the Soul-Capturing Staff and the Blood-Devouring Bead completely fused together.
He consumed a significant amount of his life essence to refine these two magical treasures.
However, it was all worth it.
Because the Soul-Devouring Staff, a magical artifact formed after blood refinement, is extremely powerful. It can not only absorb human essence and blood, but also suppress evil spirits and monsters.
Blood refining is not only extremely difficult, but also has extremely stringent requirements on the quality of magical artifacts, making it one in ten thousand.
Moreover, the refining process is extremely dangerous. One wrong move and one will be devoured by the fierce and bloodthirsty aura of the magic weapon, dying a painful death.
However, Li Yao did not encounter such difficulties and dangers when he was undergoing blood refining.
Actually, this is not surprising.
Firstly, both the Soul-Stealing Staff and the Blood-Devouring Bead are two of the most powerful evil objects in the world, and their quality absolutely meets the requirements.
Secondly, Li Yao's essence blood is incredibly powerful, far surpassing Zhang Xiaofan's, and Li Yao's cultivation level is even more formidable, allowing him to completely control the blood refining process.
Therefore, he successfully refined the Soul-Devouring Staff and the Blood-Devouring Bead into the Soul-Devouring Staff with almost no risk.
The Soul-Devouring Staff, after being refined with blood, has fused with Li Yao's bloodline.
Therefore, the Soul-Devouring Staff cannot be used by others.
Because Li Yao's essence and blood were extremely powerful, he did not consume a large amount of essence and blood like Zhang Xiaofan, and did not faint due to excessive blood loss.
Li Yao reached out and sucked the Soul-Devouring Staff from the ground into his hand.
The Soul-Devouring Staff, about two feet long and shrouded in black mist, was neither gold nor iron and exuded a fierce aura that swept towards us.
The originally deep purple Bloodthirsty Bead turned dark blue due to the disappearance of Buddhist magic power, and it is now embedded in the stick.
The inlaid area was a dark red, which was very unsightly and even a bit disgusting.
The entire black staff has faint, blood-like veins.
This is the Soul-Devouring Staff!
Li Yao immediately copied the Soul-Devouring Staff and then disassembled it.
Weapon Spirit +89!
Soul Eater*1!
Divine Soul +999!
"Ding! Congratulations, host! Your spiritual energy has exceeded 2800 points, and your realm has been upgraded to: Eighth Level of the Refining Spirit Realm!"
Li Yao was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, the Soul-Devouring Staff actually contained 999 points of divine soul.
However, upon closer reflection, it's not surprising.
As the predecessor of the Soul-Devouring Staff, the Soul-Seizing Staff originally possessed the ability to seize souls, and naturally contained a powerful spiritual force.
This spiritual power may or may not be inherent in the Soul-Capturing Staff itself, or it may be extracted from living beings.
So, does that mean the Soul-Devouring Staff can also devour the souls of living beings and use them for its own purposes?
If you have the chance, you should definitely give it a try.
In the original novel, the Soul-Devouring Staff was extremely ferocious. Due to the influence of the Soul-Devouring Staff, Zhang Xiaofan's personality gradually became violent and bloodthirsty, and the influence became more and more profound over time.
Zhang Xiaofan went mad after learning the truth about the Grass Temple Village massacre, mainly due to the influence of the Soul-Devouring Staff's malevolent energy.
However, Li Yao did not have this feeling.
Although he could clearly sense the ferocious aura emanating from the Soul-Devouring Staff.
However, his "Great Dao True Scripture" incorporates many Buddhist techniques, which can automatically suppress this fierce energy.
Furthermore, his mental strength is extremely powerful, and he is fully capable of suppressing the ferocious aura of the Soul-Devouring Staff.
In the original novel, after Zhang Xiaofan mastered the fourth part of the Heavenly Book, the ferocious aura of the Soul-Devouring Staff gradually weakened its influence on him.
This shows that as long as one's cultivation level reaches a certain level, one can suppress the Soul-Devouring Staff.
Previously, Li Yao had discovered a new feature in the system.
You can consume weapon spirit points to fuse the unique weapon spirit of a magic weapon into the Overlord Divine Spear.
In this way, the Overlord Divine Spear can permanently acquire the unique supernatural power of this magical weapon.
So he spent 200 weapon spirit points to fuse the 'Soul Devouring Soul' into the divine spear.
Now, his divine spear possesses two inherent supernatural powers.
Firstly, there's the twenty-fold output bonus from the Divine Stone.
Secondly, there's the special ability of the Soul-Eating Staff.
Previously, he had not fused the 'Bloodthirsty Soul' obtained from the decomposition of the Bloodthirsty Bead into the divine spear.
At this point, he had already forged the 'Soul Devouring Soul'.
Therefore, the 'Bloodthirsty Soul' is no longer of any use.
So he had the system reclaim his 'Bloodthirsty Soul' and surprisingly received... 300 points of weapon spirit.
Li Yao never expected that his unique weapon spirit could be exchanged for so many ordinary weapon spirits.
I wonder how many weapon spirits he could exchange for after dismantling the Amber Crimson Silk that he copied from the little loli Tian Ling'er.
Although he was very curious, he had no intention of breaking down the amber brocade.
He still has no shortage of weapon spirits.
Besides, the Amber Crimson Silk is also a pretty good magic weapon; it was Su Ru's signature magic weapon back then.
You can keep it for now!
This trip to Dazhu Peak was very rewarding.
Not only did he acquire two magical treasures, but his cultivation level also increased once again.
Just as Li Yao was about to leave, his ears twitched as he heard a faint 'squeak' sound coming from the dense forest in the distance.
A thought suddenly struck him: could it be that intelligent three-eyed monkey?
So he summoned the divine spear, rode it, and flew towards the direction from which the sound came.
Soon, he saw a small gray monkey climbing on a pine tree, picking pine cones.
At this moment, the gray-haired monkey saw Li Yao. Instead of being afraid, it threw the pine cone in its hand at Li Yao.
"You little monkey, how dare you hit me!"
Li Yao smiled slightly and did not dodge. Just as the pine cone flying towards him was only an inch away from his head, he suddenly blew on it.
With a whoosh, the pine cone flew back the way it came towards the gray-haired monkey.
The gray-haired monkey was terrified and quickly swung to another branch.
Then it picked a pine cone and threw it at Li Yao.
Li Yao did not dodge; instead, he blew the pine cone back at the gray-haired monkey.
After this happened three times, the gray-haired monkey realized that not only could he not hit Li Yao each time, but he was also made to look bad by Li Yao, which made him very angry.
Finally, it squeaked angrily a few times, swaying from one big tree to another, and then to the next, trying to escape.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Li Yao chuckled.
Then, he flashed and instantly appeared in front of the gray-haired monkey.
The gray monkey was taken aback, squeaking a few times before nimbly leaping to another tree.
However, to its horror, it discovered that the human had somehow reappeared in front of it.
"Where do you think you're going to run to!"
Li Yao reached out and grabbed the gray monkey's ear.
The gray monkey screamed in terror and fright, and even reached out its claws to grab Li Yao's hand.
"You'd better stay and keep Little Fire company!"
Before the gray-haired monkey could react, Li Yao tossed it into his storage space.
