Without encountering particularly strong resistance, Luo Fan soon appeared at the edge of a deep pool.
The pool was as still as a mirror, without a ripple. The surface of the water exuded a rich aura of dark and water elements, mixed with a thick demonic aura, clearly indicating that it had been polluted.
The monsters he killed were probably also affected by this place, with the highest level even reaching level 80. However, Luo Fan didn't give them a chance to fully attack; he suppressed them with his divine sense and then followed up with his spatial blade.
He sensed that the corrupted magic core was different from other normal elements; absorbing too much would likely affect the mind of magical beasts. If humans absorbed it, they would probably be plagued by inner demons very quickly.
Normal magical elements and the toxins from magic essence don't manifest so quickly; it's a rather lengthy process. Only when their lifespan is nearing its end, or they break through to the level of Grand Magister, will they become aware of the effects. Otherwise, they wouldn't pay any attention to it at all.
But what if that toxicity were amplified a hundredfold or a thousandfold!
He took out several purification scrolls and threw them in, causing the deep pool to churn, but it quickly calmed down again. Immediately afterward, a large swarm of enraged, sharp-toothed flying fish rushed out, their target Luo Fan at the edge of the pool.
Countless high-speed water jets shot out, continuously creating deep craters on the ground.
Its exterior was pitch black, with black fangs, and it clearly carried an aura of decadence. Even the surging water elements seemed impure.
Luo Fan casually cleaved these level 70 demonic fish in two. Their levels were likely limited by their quality, preventing them from breaking through to the next level. The demonic cores within their bodies had already turned a deep dark blue.
As the demonic core was exposed, it suddenly cracked open, and a peculiar phantom rushed towards Luo Fan.
A resentment that's almost tangible?!
Luo Fan suddenly understood something, took out the elven gem he had found earlier to defend himself, and the resentment was quickly absorbed by the gem.
Indeed, this is the correct way to use the Spirit Gem. I don't know why it was only used by outsiders as a tool to guide them to the exit.
Having figured out the reason, Luo Fan began this slaughter. Using Shadow Transformation, Extreme Speed, and Space Travel, the attacks of these demonic fish could not hit him at all, and instead turned into corpses on the ground one by one.
The resentment on those magic cores was absorbed by the gem one by one.
Several more purification scrolls were lost in succession, including some light-type scrolls, which even illuminated the entire pond.
The continuous attacks from the magical beasts all became Luo Fan's spoils of war. The gem in his hand became more and more solid, and its original blue color eventually turned into jet black.
Finally, Luo Fan swallowed it and slowly drew in the energy through a small hole, then forged, purified, and absorbed it. The divine sense inside felt several times more comfortable than before.
Moreover, the gemstone, once restored to its original state, can still be used, which is quite perfect.
Luo Fan had experienced firsthand the benefits this thing brought to his divine sense, and he never expected that this secret realm would bring him such benefits.
After several waves of this, the attacks on the water surface decreased significantly, and the surrounding area was littered with various corpses, all of which were only around level 70.
After scouting Caitlin and the others' current location and confirming that there were no other dangers around, Luo Fan jumped in.
In the deep pool, all sorts of chaotic elements floated, all bearing traces of being tainted; the deeper one went, the more pronounced this feeling became.
Previously, Luo Fan had absorbed quite a few incomplete water-type inscriptions, including those that Shuihuo couldn't store. Therefore, he was exceptionally agile in the water and could even sense very deep waters.
Just then, some kind of monster seemed to emerge from the bottomless water and swam towards him, accompanied by a sound.
"Powerful Slime King, do you wish to gain even greater power?"
Luo Fan ignored it and just curiously examined the snake-like thing in front of him. Its eyes seemed to be transmitting some information to his consciousness.
"Obtain great power, and you can break free from your current master and do whatever you want! Now all you need to do is open your divine sense to gain power far beyond your imagination."
"What kind of power? You look weak, not even level 90 yet!" Luo Fan couldn't help but complain, noticing that the snake couldn't move freely and was just wandering around in a fixed area.
Besides, Ellie is now his little wife, why should he get rid of her?
The serpentine beast was speechless. You're just a level 56 slime, criticizing me, an 85-level avatar of the Greedy Demon King! If the real body weren't here, I would have devoured you long ago.
It's all that wretched tree spirit's fault! Why didn't it just obediently accept my power? Why did it have to resist? Once I've completely conquered the outer areas, let's see how you fight me then.
"Believe me, as long as you come here, you will gain power!" Looking at the slime that was standing still, it suppressed its displeasure and patiently persuaded it.
Once you enter my territory, you have no chance of escape. This powerful slime, bearing runes, is the perfect vessel. Obtaining it will allow me to freely leave this stronghold and spread to other areas more quickly.
"Are you sure?" Luo Fan scoffed, continuing to set up his spatial nodes.
I'm preparing a big move, and you're acting like a clown in front of me. Isn't that a bit silly?
"Of course! Come here, I won't hurt you!"
Luo Fan had already figured out that this guy's strongest ability was divine sense, but he didn't know if he had divine thought. But if this guy really did have divine thought, he wouldn't be trying to seduce him like this.
I wonder what benefits I'll get from absorbing it! Anyway, the taste was a bit sour.
With everything ready, Luo Fan instantly appeared beside it, several spatial blades piercing its body, while several elven gems swirled nearby, standing out conspicuously in the deep water.
"Haha, you actually dared to enter my domain, thinking that such a small trick could hurt me?" The giant snake was cut into several pieces, but that powerful divine sense enveloped him, constantly impacting Luo Fan's sea of consciousness.
"Sigh, I thought you were so strong, but you're nothing special!" Divine senses surged out instantly, covering the sky and the earth, and instantly controlled the surrounding space.
That once arrogant divine consciousness suddenly withered, struggling desperately to rush down, where an escape route was hidden.
Why would a level 56 slime possess such an overpowered ability as divine consciousness? How is the little snake supposed to compete? That wretched tree spirit, how dare it let such a being in!
It roared silently, but its range of movement became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was even restrained by the white elven gem.
Damn Tree of Life, aren't you afraid of dying?!
Luo Fan was unaware of the creature's struggle. At this moment, he was constantly severing its consciousness, erasing its existence, and then absorbing it with the spirit gem for his own use.
The taste of this stuff has become even more sour and refreshing, like drinking a lot of vinegar.
After absorbing the last bit of the sovereign's divine consciousness, Luo Fan seemed to sense something, learned some information, and even let out a burp.
This thing is actually the Demon King's divine consciousness clone? That's a bit too weak. I'm much better at it.
However, the main body should be able to sense the destruction of the clone. Unfortunately, this is a secret realm; that guy definitely won't make it through. This is a sure thing.
Deep within the abyss, a pair of malevolent eyes suddenly opened, seemingly sensing the death of its clone, and in its anger, it directly manipulated the surrounding space.
"Who killed my clone? Who was it?!"
