The mountains quietly subsided, and the forest was rustled by a gentle breeze.
After Isabella disappeared from sight.
Ye Li's figure soared into the sky, arriving at the peak of a mountain that had not yet collapsed.
With its beautiful mountains and clear waters, it truly deserves the title of a picturesque landscape.
It is a very old burial place, at least for the Pope of the Temple.
As for whether the person involved is satisfied, he doesn't know.
They paid no attention to the two White Country hesitating in the far distance.
Ye Li sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, summoned the control panel, and calmly scanned it with his gaze.
[Current Malice Points: Points]
The number jumped from rock bottom to nearly 400,000, demonstrating the considerable influence of this pope.
With a complete, end-to-end service, Chris Zhenlin's value was maximized.
It's truly commendable that he alone can provide more Malice Points than a top-tier Mountain Gate on Blue Star.
Ye Li nodded slightly, then his gaze swept over the martial arts techniques recorded on the panel one by one.
Aside from the versatile [Heaven and Earth Harmony], there are very few martial arts techniques that can be used in close combat. In the previous bombardment, he even had to use third and fourth-tier martial arts techniques.
[Earth Meridian Fusion] has high explosive power, but it must be bound to the mountains and earth veins.
If you encounter a situation where you have to make the enemy fly while you're in the air, it's difficult to find a suitable opportunity to use your skills.
Although the [Golden Soul Revival] grants him formidable destructive power with every move he makes, the fact that he lacks martial arts skills cannot be concealed.
Fortunately, all his martial arts skills were at a level of perfection.
To some extent, this also made up for some of the shortcomings.
"Soul Control..."
Looking at the words on Martial Arts Talent, Ye Li couldn't help but hesitate.
Even before he reached the Hegemony Realm, he was thinking of upgrading his SS -S-Grade Martial Arts Talent by one level to expand his trump cards.
He currently possesses nearly 400,000 Malice Points and has broken through to the fourth level of the Hegemony Realm, only half a step away from the fifth level.
However, I'm hesitant about whether to upgrade it.
The reason is quite simple.
According to the Pope's dying words, the Federation has two peerless martial artists of the Ninth Tier Star Sea who could return at any time.
I'm not really afraid.
But after all, they are enemies of a higher level than ourselves, so we should still give them enough respect.
"... never mind."
After a moment's thought, Ye Li made up his mind. "Let's level up first and see how strong we are."
If it can't compare to the improvement of [Indestructible Golden Soul], you can give up some unnecessary ideas in advance.
[Bite!]
[Starting to consume Malice Points, continuously improving SS/ S-Grade Martial Arts Talent. Soul Control!]
[After consuming 2000 points of Malice Points, your control over souls begins to improve, the summoned souls become much more resilient, and a massive amount of insights are gained along with them...]
As the words poured forth, a wealth of ancient and complex information flooded Ye Li's mind.
All of this was aimed at enhancing his understanding of his Martial Arts Talent.
During the time the light screen surged, Ye Li sensed the changes within himself while simultaneously extracting the newly acquired Emperor's Soul.
Soon, a tall, slender figure slowly appeared in front of him.
Then, it visibly solidified, transforming into an exceptionally beautiful woman, whose magnificent robes gradually appeared on her body.
Perhaps it's due to the increase in talent level.
Compared to the souls of the past, she possessed a greater vitality that only a living person could have.
As the pale blue light curtain surged, the formation of the soul was quite slow this time.
[After consuming 5000 points of Malice Points, you have begun to digest the insights that have emerged. As your understanding of controlling the soul deepens, you are gradually beginning to feel the life force within living beings...]
Ye Li was not in a hurry.
He raised his hand and lightly touched the gold plaque at his waist, taking out the dazzling divine staff. He was somewhat surprised to find that its broken body was undergoing self-repair.
Judging from this, it won't be long before this staff is restored to its previous perfect state.
This is an unexpected bonus.
Ye Li's lips curled up slightly.
This so-called "Divine Word" is extremely useful. If one could obtain it for one's own use, it would certainly save one a lot of Trouble in the future.
Moreover, in his perception, the strange energy within the Brilliant Staff was nearly exhausted.
However, just like the self-repairing staff itself, this strange energy is also showing a gradual recovery trend, as if it is closely connected with something, and even the Secret Realm cannot sever the relationship between the two.
At this point, the upgrade of [Soul Control] was nearing its end.
[After consuming 8000 points of Malice Points, you have fully grasped the information in your mind, and your understanding of the essence of life has reached a new level. Your Soul Control have been upgraded to LV2!]
[New Innate Divine Ability: Cultivation Master]
[Cultivation Master: The soul gains the ability to cultivate autonomously, and the cultivation level gained through cultivation can be proportionally fed back to the master!]
As these words appeared, the woman in the priest's robes regained her footing.
Those clear, bright eyes were initially dazed, but then immediately became lively.
The next moment, the pope's gaze fell on the White-robed Youth.
Her slender figure immediately knelt down, and she said respectfully:
"My lord, what are your commands?"
Before she finished speaking, a complex expression appeared in Chris Zhenlin's eyes. She finally understood how that Hegemony Realm Earth Vein True Dragon came to be.
The creatures that died at Ye Li's hands have actually been reborn in this way...
What an overwhelming Martial Arts Talent!
Slavery forever... Chris Zhenlin bit her lip, staring intently at the ground ahead.
That's strange.
Why did she feel a deep sense of happiness about something so humiliating?
"..."
Ye Li ignored what she was thinking, even though as the Soul Master, he could see it clearly at a glance.
At this moment, he focused his attention on the new ability that had appeared on the panel.
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
They cultivate independently and then proportionally feed back to the Soul Master.
It sounds quite useful, but with a little thought, you'll find it's rather useless.
It should be noted that even a genius of the Pope's caliber would need decades of arduous cultivation to advance to the next level in the Hegemony Realm.
Not to mention that now they no longer have the support of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Rather than letting his soul nourish himself, Ye Li preferred to feed it to [Myriad Transformation Divine Soldier Iron] to upgrade it.
After all, the improvement from the Frozen Divine Iron is always real and tangible.
Of course, if one is willing to become an executioner, the potential of this Innate Divine Ability can be described as terrifying.
But Ye Li has no plans in that regard at the moment.
So Soul Control, your dream of promotion is shattered...
Ye Li let out a soft breath, his brows relaxing. He immediately decided that from now on, he would prioritize upgrading [Indestructible Golden Soul] over [Soul Control].
At times like these, it's always more reassuring to rely on an old, trusted partner.
I just don't know to what extent the [Indestructible Golden Soul] needs to be upgraded to unlock powerful Divine Ability like [Heaven and Earth Manifestation].
Ye Li has never been able to resist such divine methods.
As for [Soul Control]...
It's clear that this S-Grade Martial Arts Talent also possesses enormous future potential. If used properly, it could easily assemble a powerful army of martial artists, sweeping across the land.
But compared to the drama of two armies facing off.
Ye Li preferred the style of working alone, carving out enemy lines and cutting through thousands of troops single-handedly.
Of course, this doesn't mean that [Soul Control] is completely useless.
If one wants to leave this place in the future and want to leave behind some useful combat power in Huaxia, then this talent is an indispensable divine skill.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
However, since Ye Li is now on Blue Star, he naturally needs to focus more on improving his own combat strength.
