Sure enough, Ellie's attention returned to him, making Luo Fan feel embarrassed and hesitant to respond.
"Your Majesty, shall we take them back?" The tree spirit's telepathic message gave Luo Fan a chance to catch his breath. Looking at the giggling succubus, Luo Fan felt an urge to punch her.
This girl is even more difficult to deal with than Freya.
Now we have information about the dragon, and we've been to the Demon Abyss. We still need to work on the metal-elemental clone when we have time. The only thing we still haven't figured out is that so-called supreme yang object.
It seems I still need to find some time to have a good talk with Lilith. Where is she hiding now?
After a brief discussion, Ellie and Ahri returned to the secret realm. After all, Lilith was currently in the limelight, so it was best to be cautious.
As for Meimei, she quickly found a secluded place and hid in a nearby cave, even having Luo Fan seal off part of the space.
After settling things here and retracting his main body's clone, he gave Ellie a heads-up before fleeing back to Saint Forest City and returning to the capital with the fireball.
The Shining Family Secret Realm.
Having already digested the inscription, Lilith is now quickly flipping through those ancient books.
After figuring out the structure of the inscription, she realized she didn't know how to use it, which reminded her of those ancient families.
His relationship with the Shining family was passable, so he came over. In exchange for his research findings on inscriptions, he gained the opportunity to freely read ancient texts.
The Dark Soul is a very special inscription, similar in essence to the one she studied before, only several times more complex. Copying it would be virtually impossible; for now, she had only recorded the details of this inscription.
She had expended a great deal of energy to fully unleash it, but thankfully she succeeded in the end. At this moment, the inscription was flowing actively along the magical channels within her body.
Lilith studied it for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no other things attached to it. If it really was a trap left by some old geezer, then we would be doomed.
After flipping through those books, she finally understood some things. These soul-type inscriptions were best attached to divine sense, but she still couldn't make up her mind.
Since Luo Fan is skilled in divine sense, it would be safer to have him keep watch over things.
Having received the knowledge imparted by Lilith, the old members of the Shining family began to study it. However, when they looked at Lilith again, her aura had clearly become much stronger, even giving them a sense of pressure on their souls.
"Are you preparing to leave? The people from the Demon Sealing Tower are still tracking your whereabouts!"
"Yes, I need to go find my daughter to confirm some things. Have you received any news from the capital?"
"They've warned us to be careful. Gandalf went to the Orcish Empire but was assassinated en route, though he managed to escape. Your daughter is currently missing, but her pet seems to still be in the capital."
"Oh, I understand now, thank you!"
"By the way, you... you really obtained the inscription?"
"Yes, we're not quite proficient yet. Don't worry, once I find lightning-type inscriptions, I'll prioritize giving them to you."
After saying that, she disappeared, leaving behind only the excited old men with tears in their eyes.
The capital city.
After returning, Luo Fan spent some time with Caitlin, explained some things, comforted the girls, and then went back to the treasure room to begin dissolving the demonic essence within his body.
Sure enough, just as Meimei said, these wisps of primordial power actually had a tendency to assimilate the surrounding divine thoughts, no wonder my own nature was also affected to some extent.
Having figured this out, Luo Fan entered into meditation, using the two inscriptions of time and space to frantically erode that trace of primordial power. The Forging God Incantation circulated rapidly, continuously purifying the detached energy.
In an instant, Luo Fan became extremely hungry and began to devour large quantities of dark magic cores and spiritual materials. The inscriptions on the magic cores within his body were also spinning rapidly, frantically replenishing the gaps in his magic essence.
After an unknown amount of time, the primordial power was completely obliterated, and his level jumped to 75 in one go. In particular, his sea of consciousness expanded nearly tenfold, turning from a small pool into a large pond, and his divine sense became much more solid.
He also completely refined the remaining remnants of divine consciousness that he had absorbed earlier.
"I can't sense the power of the domain?" Luo Fan frowned and continued trying, guiding the energy according to the knowledge he had researched before. He found that he could eliminate the surrounding elements, including the dark element.
He remembered Meimei reminding him that it would be best to use the power of the inscriptions in his divine sense to create a domain, as that would be most suitable for him.
I activated the Demon-Locking Inscription myself, could it be similar to a Demon-Locking Domain? But that doesn't make sense, why is everything being excluded?
An elemental vacuum? No, it also contains spatial and temporal elements, but they are difficult to detect.
After thinking it through, Luo Fan immediately relaxed. The Exorcism Domain was definitely a good choice; it could probably even expel other people's domains, making it far superior to that Demon-Sealing Array.
If I were to engage in close combat and dispel the opponent's magic, wouldn't that greatly reduce their strength?
Thinking this, Luo Fan felt a little excited.
However, the area is only a few meters long, which is rather meager.
After absorbing the excess dark magic cores, my level finally stopped at 78. Sigh, I'll have to spend time getting high-level magic cores again, preferably legendary ones. I guess I'll have to go to the Demon Abyss eventually.
The magic cores are too numerous and too pure, and upgrading them requires several times more magic power than upgrading clones of other attributes.
Just as I was about to leave after composing myself, Caitlin walked in with her entourage, followed by a man in black.
Huh, what's she doing here? Shouldn't she be hiding away, studying that inscription?
"Luo Fan, you've broken through!" After seeing his condition clearly, Caitlin finally understood why he was in such a hurry to go into seclusion. Luckily, he had notified her in advance, otherwise, things would be troublesome now.
"Hmm. Mother-in-law, what brings you here? Is something wrong?" Luo Fan noticed that Lilith's expression seemed a bit off.
"You bastard, there's something bad on that inscription you gave me, trying to invade my divine sense! Quickly, let me see if there's any way to stop it!" Lilith yelled, then quickly focused her attention to block the intrusion.
On the way here, she couldn't resist trying it out, which awakened the consciousness deep within the inscription, making her feel like she wanted to die.
Without hesitation, Luo Fan gave Caitlin a brief reminder, and after she left, he began to invade her mind.
Compared to the archmages she had killed before, Lilith's was clearly less experienced. That inscription even showed signs of further encroachment.
They decisively suppressed it, completely imprisoning it, before carefully beginning to peel it away.
Speaking of which, Lilith's sea of consciousness is so small, it's not even as big as a basin of water!
It was also a soul-type inscription; no wonder even she couldn't detect the anomaly within. Locking onto the frantically struggling remnant soul, both solid and broken, Luo Fan began his focused attack.
The spacetime inscriptions within his divine sense circulated, slowly drawing them out and then introducing them into his body for frantic forging, occasionally accompanied by frenzied roars.
Lilith suffered immense pain from the separation of her divine senses and nearly fainted.
"Quickly draw that inscription into your divine sense!" Luo Fan reminded him, having already figured out the human inscription. Then he continued to torture the remnant soul, ignoring its subsequent pleas for mercy.
If it had been any later, Lilith would have been completely possessed by him and probably would have gone insane.
The resentment within this remnant soul is incredibly strong; it might very well be the lingering attachment of that person after death. Soul-type inscriptions are indeed an excellent hiding place.
Upon hearing Luo Fan's request, Lilith endured the pain and began to slowly transfer the inscription.
Before long, her complexion returned to normal. When she opened her eyes again, she found that her perception of her surroundings had been enhanced several times over, and her divine sense had become more solid.
The inscription was now moving along with her divine sense, constantly strengthening it.
