After seeing his opponent's annihilation, Gao Buqin did not immediately revel in his victory. His battle senses told him things would not be easy, so he used his Divine Sense to check his surroundings.
And as he expected, he noticed a strange pill floating amid the numerous space debris in the Northern Quadrant. And as soon he saw the pill, it changed.
Muscles, blood, bones, and skins regrew from the pill, and Yan Liling reappeared with a slightly pale complexion.
'This Flesh Reorganization Pill still feels disgusted,' she thought. She created this pill to imitate body refiner's Drop Blood Rebirth. However, the process of rebirth is painful and feels terrible.
Then, she focused on Gao Buqin, especially the second Battle Spirit.
'I should have expected his second battle spirit to be related to the Soul.' If Bao Buqin created his battle spirit to assist his Weapon Refining Profession, it would make sense to create one focus on Spiritual Power and the Soul.
After all, spiritual power is the most valued asset or talent of all professions.
'Be that as it may, his Duyi Realm is very weak. But it shouldn't?' By the previous attack, he realized Gao Buqin's Duyi Realm was only in the second stage. However, the easiest way for a person to achieve the Duyi Realm is by combining two cultivation systems.
Gao Buqin met the requirements, so Yan Liling predicted for him to have a higher level.
'It could be that his cultivation talent has not reached such a level,' she analyzed; fusing two or more systems is not something anyone can do.
'It could also be a side-effect of the Soul Enslavement.'
Thud!
While Yan Liling was in deep thought analyzing the situation, Gao Buqin was not idle; he gazed at her without hiding his deep killing intent. His cracked Immortal Tier Armor was replaced with black armor while the lion spirit fired the previous attack.
But, it suddenly began to change.
The first of which was the color that turned light golden. Subsequently, the armor seemed to have fused with Gao Buqin's body. His skin had turned a light golden color, making him look like some kind of robot with long black hair.
Spikes appeared on his shoulders, born from the tips of different sharp weapons like swords, spears, and arrows. Two metallic wings spread behind Gao Buqin's back, and the wings were composed entirely of different weapons.
The amalgams of so many different weapons should look weird, ghastly even. However, the entire thing had a natural and graceful appearance.
'Spirit Transformation,' thought Yan Liling, remembering the information; this technique imitates Dao Body's Awakening. The cultivators in the Battle Spirit World can transform into their spirit and use the full extent of their power.
After his transformation, Gao Buqin did not waste time and rushed toward his opponent.
Boom!
Yan Liling felt a terrifying force pushing her backward. If she did not rely on her instinct to activate her [Cauldron of Flesh], she would have burst into a mist of blood.
And even with these measures, the bones in her arms cracked, followed by great turbulence to her internal organs.
'Peak 7-Leaf Strength,' thought Yan Liling as she groaned internally. After stopping her momentum and regaining control of her body, she checked her arms and discovered an anomaly.
'A curse? There is also the power of the Bleeding Rune,' she analyzed. 'It seems he created a battle spirit dedicated to battle using the power of an artifact; his body became the embodiment of countless artifacts with different effects.'
The Bleeding Rune is often used when creating weapon artifacts to ensure the enemy will bleed to death and weaken them. It is one of the first Divine Runes that Weapon Refiners learn.
[Cauldron of Defense]
Gao Buqin's barrage of attacks landed on Yan Liling's protective shield. And with only a few attacks, he cracked the shield. However, strange blue-colored pills appeared before releasing an energy that healed the shield.
'Because I still hope to walk the Unorthodox Nine Extremity Foundation, I never used the Eight Heterogeneity Foundation, so my base strength is only 4-Leaf.
'I have a few pills and a secret technique to make me rival his strength. However, for the battle plan, we made to deal with him, there is a better way.'
[Pill of Intangibility]
The moment she swallowed the pill, Bao Buqin's fists–who had changed into the property of a shield-breaking treasure–finally broke her defense, and he went for the kill.
