Especially for Legendary powerhouses, the potions that ordinary people flocked to improve their strength and break through bottlenecks were basically worthless. To them, how to live longer, especially to prevent themselves from being killed, was the most important thing that they cared about the most.
Although the Godly Soul Potion did not have the effect of healing the various injuries of the body, unlike some healing potions or healing magic that could even regrow severed limbs, it would still take time for them to take effect. However, no matter how effective a Healing Potion was or how powerful a Healing Magic was, it would still take time to take effect. It could only save people, not the dead. On the other hand, the Godly Soul Potion could imprison the soul in a dying body. Even if the body was severely damaged or even dead to some extent, as long as the soul had not dissipated, it was equivalent to giving the person time to be treated.
Hence, when they heard Andoine mention the Godly Soul Potion, everyone looked at the empty potion bottle in Lin Li's hand with eyes full of disbelief. Their hearts were almost bleeding. That was a life. Even for Aldwin, the President of the Alanna Guild of Magic, and Rosen, one of the authoritative figures of the Supreme Council, it was definitely a life-saving potion that they dreamed of. Yet, it was wasted on the Fire Demon King.
What is this prodigal lunatic trying to do? Is he trying to resurrect the Fire Demon King!? The Fire Demon King was dead, and even if his soul was preserved, how could he really be resurrected? Besides, he was a demon that was close to the Sanctuary-realm. Even if he was resurrected, could he be subdued and become a slave?
However, after answering Andoine casually, Lin Li did not explain further, and simply watched the Godly Soul Potion take effect in the Fire Demon King's body. Soon, a trace of soul fluctuations emitted from the body of the Fire Demon King. Lin Li put away the potion bottle with a smile on his lips.
The Fire Demon King knew that he was already dead, but for Abyssal Demons like them, the death of the body did not mean the real end. As long as the soul returned to the abyss, there would be a chance for rebirth. However, when his soul regained consciousness, he was surprised to discover that there was no aura of the abyss around him.
Could it be that I didn't return to the abyss? That was definitely not good news for the Fire Demon King. Then, the familiar feeling around him brought him even worse news. Not only did he not return to the Abyss, but he was also left in his own body. However, this didn't mean that he could be resurrected. The death of his body had cut off the connection between his soul and his body. His current body was a prison that he couldn't escape from.
All of a sudden, a powerful mental strength fluctuation erupted from the corpse of the Fire Demon King, which was filled with rage. His soul was imprisoned in his body, and the Fire Demon King immediately thought of the intruders. Needless to say, it must be those damned humans who did it. His plan had been destroyed, he had been defeated, and now his soul had lost its freedom. This was simply the greatest humiliation the Fire Demon King had ever suffered in his life.
Even in death, the dignity of the Flame Devil Clan would not allow anyone to sully it! The soul of the Fire Demon King roared furiously at the mental level, and struggled to break out of the shackles of the cage. As the Fire Demon King that was close to the Sanctuary-realm, his soul definitely possessed immense power even if it was just his soul. However, no matter how much the Fire Demon King struggled and roared, there was always an irresistible force that bound him tightly, making all his struggles futile.
Of course, Lin Li also felt the anger of the Fire Demon King, but the threat that the Fire Demon King posed to him now was probably less than that of a low-level Vengeful Spirit. Lin Li ignored the Fire Demon King completely, and instead began to carefully draw a mageweath on the broad chest of the Fire Demon King with a crystal inscription pen.
On the dark red scales, Lin Li waved the crystal inscription pen in his hand, leaving a smooth silver-white line that emitted a faint and gentle light that made one feel calm. The roar of the soul of the Fire Demon King and the massive mental strength fluctuations also gradually became restrained as the mageweath was gradually perfected.
The Fire Demon King roared for a while, but he also knew that it was useless to struggle angrily. Hence, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and gradually calm down. Sensing that the human mage seemed to be doing something on his body, he had a faint ominous feeling. Although he couldn't see it, he could tell from the mana fluctuations emitted by the inscription pen and the mageweath that was being completed that the human mage was definitely not dealing with his body.
"Lowly human, do you want to imprison the soul of a Lord of the Abyss? You're overestimating yourself. Although I don't know what you've done to me to make my soul recondense in this body, don't forget that you're facing a Lord of the Abyss who is about to step into the Sanctuary-realm. My soul is not something that a human Legendary-mage like you can imprison. Unless you're a true Sanctuary-realm powerhouse, everything you do will be in vain. " After calming down, the Fire Demon King used his mental strength to convey his words to Lin Li. His tone was full of confidence and disdain for what Lin Li had done.
The Fire Demon King was not bluffing. As a powerhouse whose strength was close to the Sanctuary-realm, he still possessed immense power even if only his soul was left. However, the Abyss was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If the Fire Demon King could not recover his power as soon as possible, he would only end up being replaced by other Fire Demons. Hence, the Fire Demon King did not want to waste his soul power in order to break the shackles.
Lin Li did not respond to the Fire Demon King's warning, and instead continued to draw mageweaths. Of course, he knew that the power of the Godly Soul Potion alone might not be enough to stop the Fire Demon King's soul from exploding. However, he also knew that the Abyssal Demons were not warriors who were unafraid of death. The more they had, the more they were afraid of losing. Perishing together might happen to the cannon fodder that was being driven, but it would never happen to a Demon Lord whose strength was close to the Sanctuary-realm.
"Human, if you send my soul back to the abyss, I will give you benefits that you will never imagine. Under the endless scorching magma on the 66th floor of the abyss, there are Infernal Magic Iron, fire magic crystals, and other top-grade fire-attribute treasures that are enough to fill up this palace. I think you don't want to get nothing, do you?" Seeing that threats did not seem to have any effect on Lin Li, the Fire Demon King began to tempt him again, which was considered one of the two methods commonly used by demons.
However, Lin Li still did not react to the Fire Demon King's promise. He continued to do what he was supposed to do, and his movements did not slow down at all. Indeed, given the environment of the 66th floor of the abyss, all kinds of fire-attribute treasures were not rare. However, what Lin Li was most concerned about now was the debris of the stars, Nothingness, which was the key to him stepping into the Sanctuary-realm. It was not something that could be exchanged for any treasures.
Lin Li's indifferent attitude made the Fire Demon King furious, and he wished he could swallow this human mage alive. Even when he was Osric's servant, he was respected and respected, and had never been ignored like that. However, for demons, dignity was often ranked behind interests. Although the Fire Demon King wished he could tear the human who imprisoned his soul into pieces, he was unwilling to do so at the cost of damaging his own soul.
"Human, there is a limit to my patience. If you don't release this soul, you will definitely pay for your greed. The wrath of the Lord of the Abyss is definitely not something you can bear," the Fire Demon King warned Lin Li sternly again.
However, to anyone who heard this warning, it sounded like he was trying to be tough on the outside but weak on the inside. Although the Fire Demon King did not know what Lin Li was doing, he could clearly feel that the power that made him uncomfortable was gradually taking shape. At the same time, he had a vague premonition that he was in a bad situation. The power made him a little fearful, and at the thought that he was now in a soul body, he couldn't help but worry if Lin Li was trying to purify him completely.
The Fire Demon King used both of his means in turn. On one hand, he continuously emphasized his powerful strength, and on the other hand, he promised Lin Li great benefits one after another. He almost said that he would give Lin Li half of the 66th floor of the abyss. However, everyone knew that unless there was a Soul Contract, the promise of a demon would not be fulfilled at all. Hence, Lin Li naturally wouldn't be moved. Not to mention empty promises, even if they could be fulfilled, the value of those promises would be far less than that of the debris of the stars, Nothingness, in Lin Li's eyes.
During this time, Lin Li also completed the drawing of the mageweath. After putting away the crystal inscription pen, he said to the Fire Demon King through his mental strength, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I just need to ask you a few questions. As long as I'm satisfied with your answers, I can let you go back to the abyss."
"Don't even think about it, I won't answer any of your questions!" The Fire Demon King immediately flew into a rage. He had promised Lin Li so many benefits previously, but they were all just empty promises. With Lin Li's strength, would he really dare to go to the 66th floor of the abyss to collect his debt? As for signing a Soul Contract, he was even less worried. After all, he was close to the Sanctuary-realm, and unless Lin Li was a true Sanctuary powerhouse, the contract would not be binding on him at all. In fact, it might even cause a serious backlash.
However, answering questions was different. The Fire Demon King knew very well that once he answered all of Lin Li's questions, he would probably be completely destroyed. At this juncture, he couldn't care less about the consequences of his soul being damaged. He immediately mobilized all of his Soul Power in a bid to break free from the shackles of his soul.
