Absorption.
At this moment, Mo Li didn't even need to actively draw it in; the Power of the Abyss, infused with the rules of the Underworld, surged towards his body of its own accord.
Boom!
Like a swarm of tadpoles, these powers, upon nearing Mo Li, immediately flocked to him as if they had found a harbor, seeping into his body through his pores with an uncontrollable eagerness.
“Qin Chen, I... I really didn't mean it,” Mo Li said with a mournful expression, looking at Qin Chen with a pitiful face that could hardly conceal his despair.
He truly hadn't intended to absorb this Power of the Abyss, but it was as if the power insisted on entering his body. How could he stop it?
And after these tadpole-like powers seeped into his body...
“Ah, it feels so good...”
Mo Li shivered, his whole body covered in goosebumps. A tingling sensation spread throughout him, and for a moment, he felt like he was about to ascend to the heavens. Furthermore, under the influence of this Power of the Abyss, the rules within his body began to solidify slowly. Unknown amounts of rules and paths were infused into him, many of which Mo Li had never comprehended before. Yet, upon entering his body, he faced no obstacles and could easily absorb them.
Threads of pathways began to weave within him.
This feeling was simply more exhilarating than refining anything; it felt custom-made for him.
“I... I...”
Mo Li extended his hands, and strands of the Power of the Abyss flowed around his palms. He hadn't actively tried to absorb it, but for some inexplicable reason, he was attracting an abundance of abyssal aura, like flowers attracting bees.
Nearby.
Qin Chen's face turned ashen. He could clearly see that Mo Li wasn't the one trying to absorb this Power of the Abyss; rather, it was the power that was actively embracing him.
But while absorbing was one thing, could Mo Li not show such an enraptured expression?
“Everything is prepared,” Qin Chen said, immediately pouring his spiritual sense into the Chaotic World. He knew that once Mo Li's strange reaction had emerged, he could no longer linger in the shadows like before.
Sure enough, as countless streams of the Power of the Abyss actively entered Mo Li's body, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden on the high platform was instantly stunned.
“Black Lotus Saint, what on earth is going on?”
Watching the power enter Mo Li's body like tadpoles searching for their mother, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden was almost at a loss.
Over the years, she had refined and offered up countless ghost cultivators, yet she had never seen a situation like Mo Li's before. The Black Lotus Saint was equally shocked: “This... I don't know what's happening either. This is the first time I've seen a parasitic entity; these powers are voluntarily entering this person's body without any side effects. Is this the magic of a parasitic entity?”
The uniqueness of parasitic entities was something the Black Lotus Saint had only heard rumors about; clearly, it was the first time she encountered such a situation.
“Forget about that for now; let's capture these two first,” the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's gaze turned cold as she suddenly raised her hand towards Qin Chen and Mo Li.
Boom!
In an instant, countless black tendrils rushed from above the cave to bind the two.
Initially, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden had the patience to wait until the end to refine the two, but upon witnessing Mo Li's unusual behavior, she could no longer restrain herself. She had never seen such a situation before, who knew what might happen if they waited too long?
“Qin Chen.” Mo Li exclaimed in shock, looking towards Qin Chen.
Qin Chen's expression was filled with irritation: “What are you looking at me for? Hurry and hide!”
Wasn't this Mo Li supposed to be quite clever? Why had he become so foolish after teaming up with himself?
Without thinking further, Qin Chen quickly darted to the side, narrowly avoiding several black abyssal tendrils. Mo Li also hurriedly dodged, the tendrils grazing past him, making him break out in a cold sweat. He cursed inwardly at Qin Chen, “Damn it, I didn't dodge earlier to cooperate with you! Who knew what schemes this old fox had?”
