Hui Ye's Unlimited Power Bank

"Old man? Are you there?"

"Yes, I'm here!" Electrolux hurriedly replied.

"Now that I have my Second Soul Ring, my stamina is unlimited. If you want to..."

"No problem."

Electrolux acted with remarkable speed, instantly drawing a trace of life energy from Hui Ye's body.

Hui Ye: "?"

Only after sensing that the presence within Hui Ye's body had not been harmed by him did he relax and try drawing more.

After all, Electrolux was a god, and he was afraid that after he absorbed the life energy, his divine power would interfere with Hui Ye's Second Soul Skill and prevent it from taking effect.

Hui Ye was now like an unlimited power bank, providing a constant stream of life energy.

Seeing that Hui Ye looked as though nothing had happened, Electrolux continued to draw more.

But he soon sensed resistance as he drew it out, and after a moment's thought, he understood why.

Hui Ye's Second Soul Ring was like a magic array that could gather magic power. Once its capacity was exceeded, it would trigger a self-protection mechanism.

It was like Electrolux needed ten thousand watts of electricity, while Hui Ye could only generate a hundred.

A small horse was pulling a heavy cart; only with a sufficient reserve of electricity could the wheels start turning.

Electrolux was not disappointed. Having some was better than having none, and with time, he would eventually accumulate the life energy he needed.

"Little fellow, while I'm absorbing life energy, gather up the ore here."

Hui Ye nudged the glowing ore with his foot. "Do you recognize this ore?"

"If I'm not mistaken, these ores are core materials used to make Soul Tools. They have the same properties as the core in that ruined Soul Tool arm of yours, and the ones here are of even higher quality."

Hui Ye pounced onto a meter-tall piece of ore, his eyes shining.

"We're rich, we're rich! There's so much core material here, we've really struck it rich! Hahaha!"

Without a second thought, Hui Ye pulled the ore out as though he were pulling radishes and gathered it together, digging out even the pieces buried in the soil.

For the pieces buried deeper, he simply shoved his arm into the gaps and blew it up, blasting the stone apart to extract the ore.

It took Hui Ye three days and three nights just to dig out all the ore in this space.

The ore was piled up like a small mountain. Hui Ye sighed and said helplessly, "There's too much. These Soul Tool Rings of mine can't hold it all."

In truth, he had known all along that Electrolux could open the Undead Plane and put the ore inside.

"No matter. Leave it to me."

Electrolux waved his hand, and the mountain of ore vanished in an instant.

Hui Ye feigned surprise. "Where did you put it?"

"The Undead Plane," Electrolux said with a smile.

"That's amazing! Senior, you can even create an entire plane. Just how powerful were you before? A little weakling like Tang San—you could slap a hundred of him to death in one blow."

Hui Ye praised him with an adoring expression.

The flattery was somewhat exaggerated and awkward, but it was still pleasant to hear. The corners of Electrolux's mouth curved upward.

"All right, stop flattering me. You think I don't know what you're scheming?

I'll grant you access later. Then you'll be able to enter the Undead Plane too."

Hui Ye: "Awesome!"

Electrolux changed the subject, his voice turning serious:

"Little fellow, aren't you afraid I'll take control of you and use you as a blood pool, making you supply me with life energy without end?"

Hui Ye spoke without a care.

"Come on, if you hadn't stepped in last time, that bastard Tang San would have killed me already.

If you want, you can keep absorbing it from me for the rest of my life."

Electrolux froze for a moment, a trace of gratification rising in his heart.

"Hehe, good lad. I really wasn't wrong about you.

Don't worry. Even if you were willing to give it to me, I couldn't absorb that much."

Hui Ye smiled. "Really, don't stand on ceremony. Take as much as you like."

Electrolux shook his head.

"Do you really think that just providing me with unlimited life energy can restore me to my former state?

Do you know what condition I'm in now?

My divine seat is shattered!

The source of my laws is exhausted!

There's only one way to restore myself: repair the source of my laws.

Your life energy can only temporarily ease my injuries and let me cling to life a little longer.

Given enough time, I still won't escape the fate of falling."

A thought stirred in Hui Ye's mind. "Does that mean that as long as you have divine power to absorb, you can gradually recover from your injuries?"

"In theory, yes. However, the continent you're on is a lower realm, not a place where gods can linger.

Even the god who attacked you last time was subject to severe restrictions and couldn't descend to the lower realm at will.

So even if there's a way, there's no opportunity to use it."

Thinking of Da Ming and Er Ming in the Clear Sky Sect, Hui Ye smiled mysteriously. "Not necessarily."

Electrolux paused in his absorption of life energy. He might have long since taken life and death lightly, but if there was a chance to live, who would really want to die?

Hui Ye continued, "I happen to know there are two divine officers on the Douluo Continent. They have a certain amount of divine power in their bodies, but they aren't gods.

As for their strength, they barely count as gatekeepers of the Divine Realm. All they can do is throw their weight around on the Douluo Continent and pretend to be big shots."

"I have no quarrel or grudge with them. Hehe..."

Electrolux shook his head. He was indeed the Holy Necromancer, and his divine seat was both righteous and evil, belonging to two extremes.

But he had his own principles and would not casually slaughter innocent people.

"But they have a grudge against me. Those two are Tang San's most capable dipping sauces!

Don't you want to step in and help me weaken the enemy's fighting strength?"

"Ahem!"

Electrolux cleared his throat. "I will only step in to protect you when your life is in danger."

Hui Ye smiled without speaking. This old rascal is quite the tsundere.

"What are your plans after you get out?" Electrolux raised his eyelids slightly.

Hui Ye folded his arms and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "First, I'll deal with the Zhou Clan. A gentleman always repays a grudge."

"Whatever else you say, they're still a whole clan. Can you handle them alone?" Electrolux cautioned.

"I'm not bragging, but the current me is invincible!" Hui Ye said confidently.

"You really think so?"

"...At least I'm invincible below the level of a god."

"Try self-destructing now."

Hui Ye circulated his Soul Power and was just about to self-destruct when Electrolux flicked his finger, sending out a ray of golden light. "Go."

In an instant, the Soul Power in Hui Ye's body seemed to solidify. He could not mobilize even a trace of it.

Hui Ye's expression changed slightly. "What did you do?"

"Space Lockdown," Electrolux said mildly.

"That's not right. My first soul can remove abnormal statuses. Why didn't it have any effect?" Hui Ye asked in confusion.

"You can think of Space Lockdown as physically tying you up with a rope. That doesn't count as an abnormal status."

Electrolux continued, "From what I've observed these past few days, a Titled Douluo on this continent could easily do the same.

Do you... still dare claim you're invincible below the level of a god?"
