Chapter 562: Spirit Essence Absorption (2)

Before the surrounding shadow monsters could react, the shadow Jiang Li smiled strangely.

The shadow figure suddenly shattered, turning into 3,000 black dots that danced under the moonlight.

If one looked closely, they would discover that the black dots were the shadows of 3,000 black mosquitoes.

The shadow Jiang Li had just eaten an entire shadow of the fused Purple Vine Demon. At this moment, the energy accumulated was long enough. Under the moonlight, the 3,000 mosquito shadows split into two, then into four, quickly splitting and expanding.

Then, a large number of black dots flew towards the surrounding shadow monsters that did not react.

The shadow monsters could only stick close to the ground and could only escape up, down, left, and right.

Coupled with the fact that they did not have much intelligence to begin with, they were immediately pounced on by the scattered black dots.

Then, a strange scene appeared under the moonlight.

Hundreds of shadows that had nothing to project suddenly appeared on the ground and began to shrink inexplicably. In less than ten breaths, they had all disappeared without a trace.

As for the mosquito-shaped shadows, their numbers split again and increased. After flying for a while, they gathered back to their original form.

Just from that outline, it could be seen that the owner of the shadow was extraordinarily heroic.

Before Jiang Li's sixth Parallel Mind died, although it only controlled 3,000 Broken-Wing Black Mosquitoes in the end and was not stable, it could not be considered a mature clone.

However, in the end, the sixth Parallel Mind still successfully swallowed the souls of those small mosquitoes. Under the deduction and digestion of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, it successfully obtained a portion of the talent and characteristics of the Broken-Wing Black Mosquito.

At this moment, this parallel mind fused into Jiang Li's shadow again, and it brought over this innate divine power called "Spirit Essence Absorption".

The terrifying ancient mosquito was too dangerous to control. Now that it was his shadow, there should be no problem.

Jiang Li had a deep understanding of this extremely domineering divine ability, "Spirit Essence Absorption".

At that time, if not for the legendary Flame Human Fire, he might have failed in the Five Banishment City of the Ten Directions Region.

Be it spiritual qi, vitality, artifacts, or strange objects, this divine power could be said to absorb everything.

Even the power of chaos of the Asura that was completely different from the continent of the Nine Provinces was not a problem as long as he adapted a little.

Such a domineering and unreasonable divine power.

Jiang Li was already drooling over this.

Now, relying on the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, he finally obtained something between life and death.

After a long time, Jiang Li's main body, who was sitting upright in a pile of withered vines, opened his eyes.

Earlier, his will did not land on the shadow Jiang Li. Instead, he was pushing the "Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra" with all his might to comprehend the memories left behind from the sixth Parallel Mind.

It also contained the souls of 2,000 mosquitoes.

Just like the shadow Jiang Li, after Jiang Li ate the souls of those Broken-Wing Black Mosquitoes, an innate skill called "Spirit Essence Absorption" appeared on the interface.

However, this ability was quite compatible with the shadow Jiang Li. He could use it as soon as he obtained it.

However, perhaps because of race, it did not seem to be so suitable for him.

On his status panel, the name of that skill was gray.

Jiang Li carefully sensed it and already had some understanding of his new talent skill.

The shadow, Jiang Li, was a myriad of shadows and would not be restricted at all.

However, he was a purebred… or perhaps not such a purebred human.

Just like how sword cultivators did not have flying swords, the current him did not have an organ suitable for using the Sword Cultivator Absorption, nor did he have an organ that could store and digest the Spirit Essence absorbed.

If he wanted to do that, he had to undergo a complete transformation and fundamentally change a portion of his body structure.

That would be a very difficult thing. The body modification and organ transplantation of medical cultivators would undoubtedly fall behind.

If he wanted to be reborn without any side effects, he even had to grow a special insect organ.

It would probably take at least 20 Alchemy Grandmasters to spend nearly a hundred years designing and customizing a medicinal pill that was at least Earth-rank for him.

This was under the premise that he had a large number of Broken-Wing Black Mosquitoes as research materials and alchemy materials.

The expenditure was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

Or perhaps… he could use the innate skill "Cocoon Break" that he had obtained previously!

This ability that any completely abnormal insect knew could directly allow one to be reborn, optimize their body structure, and even increase their talent.

Jiang Li had tried countless times to raise his spiritual root talent to the level of a top-grade spiritual root. He could be considered to be familiar with it.

The only problem now was whether he could still use Cocoon Break when he was dead.

Looking at the cocoon breaking skill that was also in a dark state, he felt that every part of his body was silent.

Clearly, a dead insect could not break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly.

Jiang Li could only helplessly suppress the excitement in his heart.

However, it might be a good thing to have such a buffer period.

This was because he had never treated himself badly since the day he started cultivating.

Dao Foundation, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul. Every step he took used good things that even ancient immortals and gods would covet.

He had just reached the Nascent Soul realm and already had the flair of a True Immortal.

At this moment, the quality of his Spirit Essence was extremely high. If he could immediately use the Spirit Essence Absorption, he might not be able to resist the temptation to suck it everywhere.

The innate divine power he obtained was only a weakened version of the Broken-Wing Black Mosquito after all. It was not like the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito that could even absorb the twelfth-grade Merit Golden Lotus.

It was hard to say how much benefits he could obtain. He might even pollute his foundation because of this.

With so much time to calm down, he could calmly pick up good things and absorb them.

Of course, this kind of worry was not so particular with his shadow. He could completely open his stomach and suck desperately.

Behind him, on the dark side of the Back Yin Mountain, the shadow Jiang Li had already begun to play the game of Pac-Man. This mountain was destined to cause a storm of blood.

…

The eight sorrowful Demon Kings still did not know that their shadows were about to face a huge crisis.

After descending the shadow-filled Back Yin Mountain, an endless void cliff appeared not long after.

This was the border of the Netherworld fragment of the Back Yin Mountain.

From here, if he wanted to move forward, he could only jump into the Netherworld Void.

However, in the Netherworld Void, even they could not fly.

Once they entered, no one could guarantee where they would fall.

He was very lucky to reach the other shore he wanted?

Those who were unlucky would be shattered by the chaotic Netherworld?

Or would he continue to drift like this? Even with Jiang Li's luck, he did not dare to rashly give it a try.

No matter what, he had to make more preparations.

"Shi Pan, how's the preparation?"

"If this succeeds, I'll appoint you as the City Lord of Tragic Death City!"

Granny Nether Mountain looked at Jiang Li and promised him an illusory and huge benefit in an ugly voice.

Jiang Li now increasingly believed that she was a ghost.

Otherwise, why would he lie to him like this? Promising something that he had yet to obtain was really an attractive offer.

As for the preparation she mentioned, it was actually to imitate the death token.

Earlier, after Jiang Li discovered that this Granny Nether Mountain wanted to bring them to Tragic Death City,

It was obvious that the other party did not have full confidence in crossing the Netherworld Void.

At that time, there was a high chance that this Granny Nether Mountain would only write her name on that wooden board and bring everyone to jump into the void to try their luck.

Wasn't this playing with their lives?

Jiang Li did not want to risk his life for her.

Therefore, he could only take the initiative to increase the other party's success rate.

At that time, he suggested that he could use his vine talent to imitate the death token.

It was also because of this that he had more freedom than the other Demon Kings and could send the Four Hands children out.

Otherwise, if he kept them in the coffin, once they crossed the Back Yin Mountain, they would all become dead.

"Granny, everything is ready."
