The three Archangel fell silent after hearing Li Wei's words.

Resurrection Spell is a special talent they receive upon advancing to the rank of Archangel. It allows them to bring the dead back to life, given the presence of bones—a truly miraculous ability. However, an Archangel can only use this skill once in their lifetime, making Resurrection Spell an integral part of their existence.

"You disagree?" Li Wei sneered, seemingly having anticipated the reaction of the three Archangel.

With a tap of the Beast Soul Sword, three wisps of white mist immediately floated out, revealing the three Old Ghost trapped within the Beast Soul.

When the three Old Ghost appeared, they looked around first. When they saw Li Wei, they remained silent, clearly showing their great fear of their master.

After all, the soul-locking chains extending from the Beast Soul are no joke; if they just lift a finger, you'll suffer the consequences, so why risk it?

"You three are all old monsters who have lived for a long time, and you've been ghosts for quite some time. You should be very knowledgeable. Tell me, how do you force someone to do something?" Li Wei glanced at the three ghosts and asked.

The voice was loud and clear, and it was obviously being addressed to the three Archangel.

Among them was the Blood Demon. As soon as he saw the bird-men in the cage, he knew that his master probably wanted these bird-men to do something, but the bird-men refused, which is why he asked this question.

So, wouldn't helping your master achieve their goal be the best course of action?

Thinking of this, he preemptively said, "Master, leave forcing these birdmen to submit to me, Old Blood. You don't know, when I first joined the Demonic Sect, this was exactly what I was good at..."

Li Wei thought it made sense. If they handed it over to Blood Demon, they could save a lot of work, and he could also take this opportunity to implement another plan of his own.

"I'm telling you..." Li Wei told the Blood Demon what he had instructed the Angel Clan to do, adding at the end, "Absolutely, absolutely do not let them die. Dead angels cannot be Resurrection Spell, understand?"

The Blood Demon just chuckled and nodded vigorously. He seemed genuinely adept at these evil deeds.

"Pig Demon, Flower Demon, you two assist the Blood Demon!" Li Wei instructed, then found a place and sat down cross-legged.

Regardless of how the Blood Demon pressured the Archangel, Li Wei took out two items.

It was another small glass vial containing the blood of the Behemoth King, something Li Wei had painstakingly 'tricked' out of him. The Behemoth King was a very trustworthy person; after losing the bet, he gave Li Wei a small vial of his own blood.

Looking at the thick red blood in the bottle, Li Wei carefully placed it aside. This was extremely precious Behemoth blood, worth its weight in gold.

The other item Li Wei took out was the 'Blood Refining Art' he obtained from the Blood Demon.

When Li Wei first obtained this scroll, he was also astonished by the explanations he had seen with his Eye of Perception.

"Blood Refining Art, a scroll-type item, usable once, extracts the essence of the target's blood. After consumption, one can acquire the target's blood host physique. Success rate of fusion is 50%."

This scroll was of immense value to Li Wei. During his battle with the Behemoth King, Li Wei discovered the weakness of the Sky Fox's physique.

He has high mental strength but weak physique. The disadvantage of a weak physique is low defense, which will definitely become Li Wei's Achilles' heel in future missions.

Therefore, Li Wei tried every means to change his physique, and the Behemoth bloodline was the best choice.

Is there any physique better than these powerful Behemoth? Absolutely not. The strength of the Behemoth's bones, blood vessels, muscles, and skin, and the power they generate, is more than 100 times that of ordinary humans. And the Behemoth King is more than 500 times stronger.

"A 50% success rate... that's a bit low. In other words, it's fifty-fifty, it depends on your luck!" Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

The Archangel's screams could be heard from over there. It seemed the Blood Demon had done a good job; these Angel Clan wouldn't last much longer.

Let's begin!

Li Wei carefully opened the bottle containing the Behemoth King's blood, then took the 'Blood Refining Art' scroll in his hand and activated it according to the instructions.

Soon, the scroll transformed into a wisp of white mist, which entered the blood vial. Then, the previously calm blood began to boil. After a few moments, the Behemoth King's blood suddenly burst out of the vial, floating in the air and continuing to writhe, like a terrifying creature from another dimension.

Black or white impurities continued to seep from the blood and drip onto the ground, shrinking the blood from the size of a palm to the size of a fist. It then shrank even further, with the black and white impurities continuing to drip. This writhing continued for about ten minutes until the blood had shrunk to the size of a broad bean, at which point the writhing stopped.

Li Wei swallowed hard, then used his Eye of Perception to examine the information, only to find that the details had changed.

"Behemoth Refined Blood Pearl, can be consumed..."

It was a success?

Li Wei was overjoyed; he had actually won that 50% chance of success. He quickly reached out and grabbed the Behemoth Blood Essence Bead, afraid of losing it.

The bead was round and cool to the touch, but Li Wei could feel the Great Strength contained within it. Without hesitation, Li Wei opened his mouth and swallowed the bead.

Instantly, the blood droplet transformed into a stream of liquid that flowed into Li Wei's throat. The sensation was like drinking a mouthful of chili water; tears welled up in Li Wei's eyes, and his face turned bright red.

At this moment, no matter how much Li Wei tried to resist or suppress the burning sensation, he couldn't quell it; it felt as if his internal organs were being burned to ashes. Sweat poured from his skin, and then Li Wei's muscles began to twitch, emitting terrifying sounds.

Li Wei was unaware of all this.

The sounds of muscles grinding and rubbing together could be heard, seemingly through a layer of cotton blanket, indistinct yet unmistakably close. Li Wei felt as if his body had completely lost control; he was desperately suppressing the heat, and he didn't know how long it took before the terrifying heat subsided.

With a thud, Li Wei knelt down on the ground. He was soaked to the bone, as if he had just been pulled out of the water, and sweat dripped down his chin.

"Strange, in this situation, the body should be exhausted, so why do I still have inexhaustible strength?" Li Wei clenched his fist in surprise, feeling the powerful grip on his palm.

He braced himself against the ground, and instantly, cracks appeared in the hard rock.

Li Wei got up from the ground and looked at his hands. They seemed unchanged, but Li Wei knew that his bones, blood vessels, muscles and skin had all changed. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a complete transformation.

Li Wei hadn't checked his own attributes for a long time. After all, when attributes reach a certain value, the strength of special skills becomes more important than attributes when fighting enemies. But at this moment, Li Wei couldn't help but pull out the Black Paper and look at his own attributes.

"Strength 800 points... Agility 600 points... Spirit 500 points... Stamina 700 points... Combat Power A3!"

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief after putting away the Black Paper.

He finally reached level A3. Even though he had mastered all his skills to the highest level, his combat power, which had not increased, finally rose another level.

Li Wei closed his eyes, sensing the changes in his body. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and flicked his finger, instantly creating a dent in the wall more than ten meters away.

"When the strength is particularly great, even a simple swing of the arm or a flick of the fingers can generate terrifying power. It seems that I must first get used to this sudden increase in strength, otherwise I might accidentally injure my companions under normal circumstances!" With this in mind, Li Wei relaxed his whole body and practiced a few times before he was able to grasp the normal strength.

Meanwhile, the Blood Demon on the other side had made progress.

The three Archangel, having undergone some kind of torture, had lost their initial arrogance and were now filled with terror, agreeing to the request for resurrection.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei quickly moved the bodies of his father, Amakusa, and Liu Piaopiao over.

Because they had been preserved in the Copper Pot space, their bodies remained unchanged, as if they were asleep. Looking at these familiar faces, Li Wei knew that all his efforts would be rewarded.

The three Archangel each chose a corpse and began to cast the legendary 'Resurrection Spell'.

Instantly, three beams of holy light shot down from the sky, illuminating the three corpses, and a familiar pressure emanated from above. Li Wei's expression changed several times in an instant.

"No wonder... I was wondering why the 'Main God' that these Angel Clan kept talking about sounded so jarring. I never thought it really was that guy..." Li Wei suddenly realized that a question had been bothering him.

From the moment they first came into contact with the Angel Clan, these self-proclaimed servants of 'God' constantly talked about that Main God, which made Li Wei suspicious long ago.

How could gods exist in the Illusion Realm? In this world, even if there are so-called gods, they should just be humans with exceptionally powerful abilities. Of course, even after encountering the later Main God, Li Wei still held the same thought.

Li Wei did not fully believe everything the Main God told him.

Moreover, based on Li Wei's reasoning, this so-called Main God is likely just someone who has obtained the 'Time Power' and the 'power of rules'.

More likely, the so-called 'Main God' is simply a creature that entered Shadow Street earlier than me and exists in a certain star field. It has simply strengthened itself through various missions and obtained magical powers.

At present, Li Wei does not yet possess the power to confront this Main God, so even though he sensed the other party's aura, Li Wei pretended not to know it.

Looking again at his father, Amakusa, and Liu Piaopiao, who were enveloped by the three beams of light, their complexions began to regain their rosy hue. Less than three minutes later, Li Wei saw Amakusa's fingers twitch.
