On the stage, Jiang Hai poured all his concentration into the Engraving Knife in his hand, beads of sweat gradually dripping from his forehead.
Originally, his soul power would have been entirely sufficient to carve part of a Level 9 Soul Tool Array, as long as he avoided the crucial core that condensed the blood qi core. But he was now using the Twin Soul Shadows Engraving Knife.
He had grossly underestimated the drain this knife, ninth on the ranking, would place on him.
In just half an hour, half the liquefied soul power in his body had been consumed, while less than a third of the core array on his arm had been carved. Jiang Hai was confident he could finish carving the array on his arm within six hours, but his soul power might not last that long.
After all, strictly speaking, he was only a level 66 Soul Emperor. Even though his soul power was of exceptionally high quality, carving the core array of a Level 9 Soul Tool consumed far too much of it, even if he was only carving one portion. What was more, he was using the Twin Soul Shadows Engraving Knife to carve two arrays at once.
Time passed little by little, and more and more bloody cuts appeared on his right arm. Some of the lines he had carved earlier had already healed.
The Azure Silver Dragon Carving Knife had been fused with gold of life and inherently contained tremendous vitality. Jiang Hai also had a sufficiently powerful physique and abundant blood qi. Never mind carving on his arm-even if he carved an array on his heart, he would not die anytime soon.
His soul power, however, was gradually failing to keep pace with the consumption.
"Bronze Coffin, Borrow Strength!"
