Chapter 878 867: A Deal with the Abyss Will
Seven remnants of Outer Realm Beings, six dead and one injured! Just in an instant!
Bai Yan's power is continuously growing, and he might be on the verge of another breakthrough soon. However, this breakthrough depends on opportunity, as crossing from Quasi-Saint to the Saint Realm is a major hurdle within the Cultivation World of the Endless Star Sea, and not everyone can pass it smoothly.
Especially for someone like Bai Yan, who is heavily burdened with bloodshed, he likely needs to endure hardship to find the opportunity for breakthrough.
But the more urgent matter now is how to deal with the last remnant of the Outer Realm Beings that Bai Yan captured. Everything else can be set aside for the moment.
Bai Yan looked down at the remnant of the Outer Realm Beings floating at his feet, and a plan formed in his mind.
Some Outer Realm Beings cannot establish a demonic contract with him, and Bai Yan has already experimented with this issue.
However, due to the small size of the control group, Bai Yan is uncertain of the exact reason for this result.
It might be an isolated case, or it could be that the entire species of Outer Realm Beings is incapable of forming contracts that bind their souls.
Nonetheless, Bai Yan must continue experimenting to reach a correct conclusion.
Thus, when Bai Yan captured this remnant of the Outer Realm Beings, his first thought was to use him for some experiments to test the correctness of his hypothesis.
"Guard the area. If the Dark Elf Queen comes, tell her truthfully."
Bai Yan ordered his subordinates, who were guarding the surroundings, and then proceeded to take the Outer Realm Being remnant and the dark elf's body into the Abyss.
As soon as Bai Yan entered the Abyss, the long-absent Abyss Will appeared in the void.
"You're here. Is this guy useful to you?"
Bai Yan looked up at the dark tones of the Abyss sky, his vast Divine Thought tensing up.
Although the Abyss Will couldn't hurt him, the last time they negotiated terms was still vivid in his memory, and he can't let it take advantage of him this time.
This remnant of the Outer Realm Beings is indeed useful to the Abyss Will, and significantly so, otherwise it wouldn't have shown up so quickly before Bai Yan.
However, having learned Bai Yan's cunning, it didn't show its eagerness immediately and instead conveyed a thought to Bai Yan.
"It seems not useful, huh? Fine, I'll use him for experiments. I wonder if Demons would enjoy eating the flesh of these Outer Realm Beings, or if it might boost their level after consuming them?"
Bai Yan could clearly see through the Abyss Will's thoughts, yet he was no longer his former self and wouldn't easily be deceived by it.
As Bai Yan spoke these words with a half-smiling expression, the Abyss Will understood that its little trick was inadequate in Bai Yan's eyes.
So, it continued to convey thoughts, telling Bai Yan that the remnant of the Outer Realm Beings was of significant use to it.
This was equivalent to the Abyss Will willingly letting Bai Yan take advantage of it, but it had no choice! Who else besides Bai Yan in the Abyss could still offer sacrifices of Outer Realm Beings these days?
Only Bai Yan.
"You can have this thing, but you need to help me figure out why I can't form a demonic contract with it."
Bai Yan threw the body of the dark elf he was holding onto the ground, slightly relaxing his authority to allow the Abyss Will to thoroughly investigate the situation of the remnant of the Outer Realm Beings within this dark elf's body.
In an instant, a tremendous pressure surged from the sky, but Bai Yan's expression remained relatively calm, knowing the Abyss Will wouldn't be too presumptuous with him now.
"So, can you find the reason?"
Bai Yan looked expressionlessly at the sky, waiting for a response from the Abyss Will.
The Abyss Will did not disappoint Bai Yan, revealing the results of its investigation.
In fact, it's not that Bai Yan couldn't form a contract with the remnants of the Outer Realm Beings, but when they possess any species in the Endless Star Sea, a symbiotic relationship is formed.
The remnants of the Outer Realm Beings essentially become controllers of these hosts, making it impossible for Bai Yan to form contracts with them.
It is possible to form a demonic contract with the remnants of the Outer Realm Beings, as long as they can be extracted from their hosts' bodies and forced to offer their Divine Souls.
These Outer Realm Being remnants lack blood and bones, and their entire being resembles a single cell, an incredibly mysterious life form.
Therefore, extracting their Divine Souls and signing a demonic contract with their True Names would truly bring them under control.
Moreover, the number of Outer Realm Being remnants in the Endless Star Sea is neither too many nor too few, as the Abyss Will had just thoroughly explored the memory of this remnant of the Outer Realm Beings and learned much about the distribution of them in the Endless Star Sea.
All this information was shared with Bai Yan.
"Alright, you can take it away, but remember to offer compensation, or I won't offer sacrifices next time."
Bai Yan looked towards the sky with a smile, seemingly friendly, yet reminding the Abyss Will of the fear of being extorted by Bai Yan in the past.
Without a word, the Abyss Will vanished from Bai Yan's perception.
Bai Yan followed through by sacrificing the Outer Realm Being remnant on the altar.
A Supreme Level remnant of the Outer Realm Beings, upon being sacrificed, directly provided one hundred and thirty million points of demonic energy, in addition to the ten billion demonic energy rewarded by the Abyss Will.
Although it seemed substantial, it was insignificant compared to Bai Yan's current needs.
Thus, Bai Yan didn't mind, leaving the Abyss promptly.
However, in the future, if he encounters remnants of the Outer Realm Beings, he could capture them all for sacrifice. Catching a hundred would yield over a trillion demonic energy points.
This way, both his own level and the level of the Abyss Territory can be rapidly elevated.
Killing the remnants of the Outer Realm Beings is one thing, but capturing them is another, requiring the activation of the Abyss World each time, as these slippery creatures are akin to eels.
Pondering over the information the Abyss Will had just shared, Bai Yan began formulating his plan.
The ultimate goal is to completely eradicate the remnants of the Outer Realm Beings in the Endless Star Sea, yet where to start and which species to target troubled Bai Yan.
With the Dark Elf Clan now cleared up, Bai Yan could continue with his plan, and thus decided to start next with the sworn enemy of the dark elves, the Elf Clan.
With this thought, Bai Yan returned to the Main Star of the Dark Star Domain, entering the palace of the Dark Elf Clan once more.
It was only then that the Dark Elf Queen emerged from her refuge, approaching Bai Yan.
