Chapter 44 Purifying the Soul Bead
The onlookers, after hearing the whole story, were all horrified by the shamelessness of this Endless Lord.
How could there be such a scoundrel in this world who turns black into white? Just how warped are his values?
However, when the Endless Lord was about to self-destruct, he discovered that he could not gather any spiritual power in his body, and his body was like a funnel full of sieves.
Then he saw a small ball of fluff suddenly fly over from not far away and come to him in a few steps.
"Hey! You shameless old man! Can you feel it? The spirit-dispersing powder that my Uncle Bo specially made for you, isn't it especially effective?" Xi'er said with a grin.
This was the first time the Endless Lord had faced Xi'er head-on. Previously, when he was besieged by Achen and Matt, Xi'er was pushed to the back by the crowd, and he was only focused on escaping, so he didn't even see her.
When he finally saw the little dumpling's adorable appearance, he could hardly believe that his long-planned riot had been ruined because of this little thing.
He wanted to strangle her, but he couldn't gather his spiritual power, so he couldn't even unleash his invincible state, let alone attack.
Bo Yiyan's Spirit Powder was indeed specially formulated for the Purple Demon, but unfortunately, due to the extreme rarity of the raw materials required, only two bottles were ever made.
This bottle was given to her after Xi'er begged and pleaded for a long time.
The fact that the Endless Lord was forced to this ambush point was also part of the plan made in advance by the High Priest, Bo Yiyan, and Achen.
They deliberately left a loosely guarded path, leading him step by step into the trap.
The moment the Endless Lord stepped into the ambush site, Xi'er immediately sprayed the Spirit Powder onto him.
Normally, given his vigilance, he would definitely have noticed something amiss.
Unfortunately, he hid in the deep sea all night and was seriously injured, which naturally impaired his senses.
Then the high priest appeared and deliberately brought up the past, causing him to temporarily fall into his memories and become even more negligent of the abnormalities in his body when the drug took effect.
Until the medicine took full effect, the high priest specially set up a hidden defensive barrier to prevent him from self-destructing and injuring people.
After all, the high priest had never seen the true effects of this spirit-dispersing powder and was worried that he would launch a frenzied counterattack before his death.
Unexpectedly, this powder was so potent that it crippled a veteran Purple Demon.
The Endless Lord turned pale upon discovering that he could not gather spiritual power. He sighed helplessly, "Since I have fallen into your trap, you might as well drain all my cultivation. That way, it won't be a complete waste."
The high priest smiled faintly: "Our Dust Continent is so resource-scarce, of course we can't afford to waste even a single bit. Hand over your Soul Pearl!"
As they spoke, the high priest used a secret technique to directly extract the Endless Lord's soul orb.
In his despairing gaze, the high priest cut the soul orb in two. The endless lord's soul was forcibly severed, and he collapsed into a puddle of mud from the pain.
"Kill me if you want, why torture me like this?" he cried out in grief and indignation, his voice extremely weak.
"Torture you? I don't have the time or inclination for that! To prevent you from betraying me, your soul pearl will be split in half between me and Xi'er."
"From this day forward, you must pledge allegiance to Xi'er and be willing to go through fire and water for her. Otherwise, Xi'er will be too soft-hearted to punish you, but I will not be so lenient with you," the High Priest said coldly.
He immediately handed half of the Soul Bead to Xi'er, kept the other half for himself, and then began to chant an ancient contract incantation.
"Grandpa Zero, aren't you disgusted by the soul pearl of such a scoundrel?" the little girl said with a look of disgust.
"Xi'er, the Soul Pearl is originally the purest thing in the world. The Soul Pearl is polluted because of improper thoughts and behaviors."
"Aren't you best at purification? After purifying the Soul Pearl, the Heavenly Dao will provide feedback, which will bring even greater benefits than the Light of Faith." The High Priest smiled and patted the top of her head.
Xi'er reluctantly cast the purification spell, and soon the soul pearl that had been split in two began to emit bursts of black energy, which slowly turned into a pure, dark blue.
At the same time, a pure light descended from the sky, enveloping Xi'er completely.
After the light faded, Xi'er's cultivation level directly broke through from the first level of the Tongtian Realm to the fifth level.
