Just as the golden light of the Soul Master completely extinguished, a barely perceptible hint of doubt flashed in the Nightmare Beast's huge, dark eyes.
Just a moment ago, it sensed a subtle yet chilling threat from the fading golden light.
A strong sense of crisis told it that the old guy seemed to have some powerful trump card he hadn't used.
The Nightmare Beast shook its black eyes vigorously... Was it just an illusion?
The top floor of the deep tower.
Li Yu suddenly opened her eyes.
His left eye was a golden pupil, as if cast from pure gold, radiating endless majesty and a cold light.
His right eye was a deep, abyss-like black pupil with three jagged edges, exuding an aura of devouring and deathly stillness—a soul-devouring eye.
Two distinctly different eyes coexisted in perfect balance on him at this moment.
"Whoosh—!" A large amount of white mist suddenly shot into the crack at the top of the deep tower.
The ghost generals who had received the final instructions from the Soul Master and come to his rescue quickly condensed on the top floor, their ferocious and overwhelming malice locking onto Li Yu with murderous intent.
However, when their gazes met Li Yu's heterochromatic pupils, especially his golden left eye that symbolized absolute dominance and the source of power, all their killing intent and actions froze instantly!
A surge of white mist erupted, and just as the ghost generals who had come to kill Li Yu were about to make a move, their gazes fell upon Li Yu's heterochromatic pupils.
Especially when he saw that golden left eye, which symbolized absolute dominance and the source of power, all his killing intent and actions froze instantly!
Shock, doubt, fear... all ultimately transformed into awe and obedience etched into their very bones!
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the powerful ghost generals were pressed down as if by an invisible giant hand, kneeling heavily on the ground in unison, their heads bowed low, their soul voices trembling with excitement and fear of arriving too late:
"Greetings...Greetings, Lord Soul Master!!"
Their perception is infallible!
That pure golden gaze and the aura of power that controls their very life and death—it can't be wrong!
The creature before me has undergone a drastic change in appearance.
But it remains their sole master, the Soul Lord!
Li Yu's gaze swept indifferently over the kneeling ghost generals, without uttering a word.
He simply raised his hand slightly, making a habitual gesture of getting up.
The movements were natural and casual, yet carried an undeniable authority, as if they had done it countless times before.
The ghost generals, as if granted a pardon, rose tremblingly and stood respectfully to the side, still the Soul Lord's most loyal guards.
Li Yu had a vague feeling that he could now mobilize the entire ghost-free army of the underground kingdom with just a glance.
With the demise of the old master and the establishment of a new one, the invisible rules of the entire underground kingdom seemed to have been switched.
Countless fine threads of faith, shimmering with white or golden light, surged wildly from all directions of the underworld, from the depths of the souls of every ghost under the Lord of Souls' rule, crossing space to connect with his spiritual body!
The immense and pure power of faith flowed into his body like a torrent bursting its banks!
This power merged with the left eye, transforming into an unprecedented, ever-flowing golden energy within the body.
The energy surged dramatically!
boom--!
A deafening roar, audible only to Li Yu, erupted within his body!
Upgrade successful
With the cyclone moving smoothly, everything fell into place naturally.
That incredibly strong barrier of hierarchy that had hindered him for so long was instantly shattered like a paper window under the impact of this vast power of faith!

Li Yu's heart stirred slightly; having only leveled up once, she had gained a new skill.
At this moment, Li Yu couldn't help but marvel at the difficulty of breaking through this level, which had taken him so long.
Just then, Li Yu suddenly felt a fluctuation in his mental sea.
"Snap!"
A clear cracking sound came from behind.
Li Yu immediately closed her eyes and returned to her mental sea.
The Nightmare Beast also sensed the anomaly and curiously drifted towards the direction of the sound.
"Click..."
As the sound of shattering rang out again, Li Yu and the Nightmare Beast exchanged a glance, looking incredulously at the pupa floating on the sea of consciousness.
Due to the influx of a large amount of faith power, the cicada pupa fluctuated violently, and countless fine cracks appeared on its surface!
A blinding white light burst forth from the crack, and finally the cicada pupa burst open completely!
As the light faded, Li Yu and the Nightmare Beast finally saw its appearance clearly.
A pure white, chubby baby spirit floated out from the broken cicada pupa.
With its big, round eyes wide open, it looked with delight at Li Yu and the Nightmare Beast who were there to greet it.
"Aba aba." The little infant spirit made a clear sound, the meaning of which was unclear.
Li Yu: "......"
Nightmare Beast: "..."
They didn't expect that absorbing the large amount of energy transformed by the Nightmare Beast would also continuously devour the spiritual power in Li Yu's spiritual sea.
And after sleeping for so long, this little thing's appearance... hasn't changed at all?!
It's exactly the same as before!
The little infant spirit swayed its chubby body and floated towards Li Yu, affectionately hugging Li Yu's leg.
