Although the Four Divine Beasts' Talent Divine Power had affected him somewhat, it was not severe. Recovering would not be difficult. The real expenditure had been the essence blood consumed in coordinating with Ilitana to unleash her Talent Divine Power.
Ilitana's Talent Divine Power was likewise one that targeted souls and could devour a target's soul.
After coordinating with Ilitana to use this move, Lota swiftly attacked at full strength and killed the Four Divine Beasts. Before their souls could dissipate, Ilitana directly devoured the souls of the four people.
Only then, with the Undead Crystal, did she completely cross that final threshold and reach the Grand Perfection Realm.
Devouring the souls of four Overgods, coupled with the Undead Crystal formed by the Heart of the Underworld absorbing countless undead, had been enough for her to attain the Grand Perfection Realm. This showed just how difficult it had been for Ilitana to reach this point.
"Dominator, I have forced out this drop of essence blood."
Ilitana's voice rang out. "Using it to restore the Dominator's expenditure is the best choice. Besides, one drop of my essence blood can restore the loss of two drops of the Dominator's essence blood. It's a bargain."
Hearing Ilitana's "certain" words, Lota fell silent for a moment. He understood Ilitana very well. In certain matters, her persistence never changed.
Afterward, Lota said nothing more and directly absorbed the drop of gray-gold blood.
He had planted Ilitana in the Qingya Plane because the liquid on her body had once been able to heal injuries.
It could be said that Ilitana had been born as the finest holy medicine for recovery. Her essence blood was even more so.
A single drop of essence blood was enough to restore all of Lota's expenditure, including his lost essence blood.
