What was Qin Luo doing? He was busy—busy producing Departed Spirits.
He pulled a demon beast's corpse out of the Demon-Suppressing Tower and began performing the Netherbone Soulbirth Art.
These demon beasts had all been in the Immortal Realm while alive, their combat strength ranging from entry-level Marquis Rank to mid-level and all the way to high-level.
Once they were dead, there was not much difference between entry-level and mid-level, but high-level corpses were clearly far stronger than the other two.
When Qin Luo used the Netherbone Soulbirth Art on entry-level and mid-level corpses, it consumed around seventy percent of his soul power.
Then he took a Soul-Returning Pill to replenish his soul power to full.
High-level corpses required even more soul power, nearly ninety percent.
He could only handle one at a time.
After creating them, Qin Luo had Shi Lei and the others feed them fertilizer to accelerate the growth of their souls.
Though they had now become Departed Spirits, and the corpses had become their bodies, they could not control them.
It was like a small horse pulling a huge cart. They were too small, the cart was too large, and they simply could not move it.
Whenever Villain Points ran out, Qin Luo went out for another harvest. During this period, Demon Emperor Xue Ze had appeared in the Western Region, Northern Region, Eastern Region...
He fired one shot and changed locations, leaving the Azure Abyss Black Tortoise Clan utterly bewildered. They were already frantically deducing Xue Ze's whereabouts.
They found the surviving bloodline of the Bloodfeather Skywolf Clan and used that faint trace of bloodline connection to deduce Xue Ze's whereabouts.
Nine times out of ten, their deduction told them that Xue Ze was dead.
The remaining time, they could not deduce anything at all.
