This ability would fit right in with the image of a Great Demon or a creature from the Cthulhu Mythos.
Looking at the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s new ability, Han Ning thought of the comatose Fei Lin. With a flicker of his Spiritual Power, the Soul Beast Space opened, and he summoned her out.
Her soft body sank into his arms. Fei Lin’s eyes were tightly shut, her brow slightly furrowed. Her breathing was weak and rapid, as if she were trapped in a nightmare.
Though she felt solid in his arms, her limbs and most of her body had bizarrely transformed into an illusory, unstable Soul Body, like a legendary Ghost. A chilling sensation emanated from her.
Not only was her life force weak, but the Spiritual Fluctuations she gave off were also barely perceptible.
The side effects of forcibly stimulating her Biological Armor’s potential seemed extremely severe. Jumping two levels from the Awakened Level to the War General Level had left her life force as fragile as a candle in the wind, threatening to extinguish at any moment. Han Ning had been constantly worried about her.
Fortunately, thanks to sufficient blood sustenance, the Biological Armor hadn’t gone berserk.
"Gumi~"
Receiving the command, the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm wiggled its chubby body and, with a WHOOSH, transformed into a streak of purple light that dove into Fei Lin’s body.
Soon, faint, blood-red veins surfaced on Fei Lin’s snow-white skin. Han Ning could sense it: next to Fei Lin’s heart, the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm spat out an illusory, purplish-red "seed" that somewhat resembled a heart.
Fei Lin’s physical structure was exceptionally unique; she could shift between solid and ethereal states. She had the traits of a living creature of flesh and blood, but could also assume the form of a Ghost, granting her immunity to most physical attacks. It was quite miraculous.
A steady stream of Blood Qi gushed from both the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm and the newly condensed Blood and Flesh Demon Seed. Fei Lin’s face, once pale as paper, gradually began to regain some of its color.
Her heartbeat grew stronger, her breathing gradually steadied, and her unstable, illusory body showed signs of solidifying.
But... while her physical condition was improving, her weak Spiritual Fluctuation showed no signs of recovery. It remained barely perceptible.
"Gumi~"
The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm emerged from Fei Lin’s body, indicating that this was all it could do!
"Alright, come back."
’It seems spiritual injuries aren’t so easy to heal.’ Han Ning had also tried adding Attribute Points to Fei Lin, hoping it would speed up her recovery.
But it was no use... In her severely injured state, he couldn’t even add the Attribute Points. It seemed a Soul Beast had to be conscious to integrate them.
Left with no other choice, he had to return Fei Lin to the Soul Beast Space once more.
Inside the Soul Beast Space, a Soul Beast’s recovery of its injuries, Spiritual Energy, and spirit would all accelerate. The Beast Master’s Spiritual Power would constantly help the Soul Beast repair damage of all kinds.
Egg Pancake had only been sleeping in the Soul Beast Space for a little over an hour, yet its superficial wounds were already mostly healed. It had also recovered some of its Spiritual Energy and Physical Strength. Such an effect was far beyond what the outside world could provide.
Furthermore, as a Beast Master’s Spiritual Level increased, the amplifying effects of the Soul Beast Space also improved.
According to the legends of the Yinsaike Race, a Beast Master whose Spiritual Power reached Tier Three could use their Soul Beast Space’s healing ability to almost completely restore a critically injured, near-death Entry or Awakened Level Soul Beast to minimum combat readiness within a single day.
Of course, the stronger the Soul Beast, the slower its recovery speed. It was also said that different Spiritual Meditation Techniques could bring varying degrees of enhancement to the Soul Beast Space, which was one of the reasons for the power of the Ancestor Family’s Insect Masters.
Fortunately, Han Ning discovered that while Fei Lin was in the Soul Beast Space, her Spiritual Power was recovering at a very slow pace. As long as her condition didn’t continue to deteriorate, it was a good sign.
After tending to Fei Lin’s physical condition, Han Ning turned his attention to the matter of Egg Pancake’s breakthrough.
He planned to take advantage of the abundant resources here to push Egg Pancake’s power straight to the War General Level.
Ever since evolving into a Red Lotus Dragon Lizard, Egg Pancake’s control over Fire had become slightly stronger than its control over Earth, and its Elemental Affinity on the status panel also showed this tendency.
The fallen Soul Beasts of the Red Centipede Tribe were all of the Fire Attribute, which would undoubtedly be a huge help for Egg Pancake’s breakthrough.
As a Soul Beast with C+ Talent, Egg Pancake processed Blood Qi and Spiritual Energy at a rate half a level higher than the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, and it required nearly 50% more Attribute Points to evolve.
Han Ning absorbed the Energy from the Soul Crystals of Fei Lie’s three fallen War General Level Soul Beasts and gave them to Egg Pancake to consume.
He had also saved the Earth-Split Centipede Crystal Stone he’d taken from Aketu’s slain beast, and hadn’t used it yet.
After all, it was an extremely rare War General Level Crystal Stone. As long as Extraordinary or Awakened Level Crystal Stones could cover his routine needs, there was no reason to use a higher-tier one.
Conveniently, the Earth-Split Centipede’s attribute was Earth, which also matched one of Egg Pancake’s Attributes.
He first took the three War General Level Crystal Stones and absorbed the Energy within them.
[Energy +2245]
[Energy +4684]
[Energy +4765]
These were from an Earth-Split Centipede, a Red Flame Earth Dragon, and a Flaming Sun Flying Armor.
The Earth-Split Centipede belonged to Aketu. The Red Flame Earth Dragon and the Flaming Sun Flying Armor were Fei Lie’s Main Combat Soul Beasts, their strength at least at the level of War General III.
The Energy from a War General III level beast was astonishing, averaging over 4500 points. And this was after most of it had dissipated following the Soul Beast’s death. Even Han Ning was startled after absorbing it.
