418: Chapter 418 The Demon Emperor Awakens

Hua Liuli sighed and said, "My blood is actually the medium that connects those souls to the physical bodies of the Demon Emperors."

"Only when stained with my blood can the souls within the magical beasts awaken and become Demon Emperors."

"But there is a major prerequisite—the power contained within my blood is too strong; ordinary magical beasts simply cannot support it. Once they fail to support it, they will explode instantly, just like what you saw earlier."

Chen Yi frowned: "Then why not use high-rank magical beasts? Tenth Rank magical beasts should be able to withstand your power, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!"

Hua Liuli sighed and continued to explain, "Magical beasts above the third rank have reached a level of perfect control over their magic power!"

"If I were to use a drop of blood for enlightenment at this point, it would likely be instantly neutralized by the magic barrier they form, rendering it useless."

"Moreover, the souls of high-rank magical beasts are often highly fused with their physical bodies, making it difficult to awaken memories of their past lives. That is why I can only attempt enlightenment on low-rank magical beasts."

Chen Yi said thoughtfully: "Couldn't you use more blood? Use stronger power to forcibly break through the magic barrier?"

"No!"

Hua Liuli shook her head, "I just said that magical beasts explode precisely because they cannot withstand the power of my blood!"

"If I used more blood, while I could break through the magic barrier, the power contained within it would be even stronger, making success even less likely."

"This is a vicious cycle—if the power is insufficient, I cannot enlighten high-rank magical beasts; if the power is too strong, low-rank magical beasts cannot withstand it."

"I see..."

Chen Yi finally understood Hua Liuli's predicament.

He didn't expect that Hua Liuli, being the array eye of the Space-Time Rift and controlling such power, would actually have such a difficult problem.

"So, Chen Yi! This is the purpose of us coming here!"

"You possess the power to trigger Spirit Beast Awakening! Now I want you to try and see if this power can work on magical beasts!"

"While I grant the magical beast blood to fuse with its soul, you use the power of Spirit Beast Awakening to awaken the magical beast! Perhaps... your power can neutralize mine, making the enlightenment process smoother and increasing the success rate!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi frowned.

He possessed the system description for the Spirit Beast Awakening talent, so there was no possibility of any oversight.

The description of this talent was very clear; it could only be used on spirit beasts and could not possibly awaken magical beasts.

However... coincidentally, when his favorability reached the maximum level previously, the system rewarded him with a special talent—Soul of Demon Control.

Because of his restricted identity, he hadn't dared to try using this ability.

After all, suddenly possessing the power to enlighten a Demon Emperor was simply too suspicious and would easily arouse Hua Liuli's suspicion.

But now... the opportunity had arrived.

Hua Liuli had taken the initiative to ask him to test the effect of Spirit Beast Awakening on magical beasts.

He could completely pretend to be using Spirit Beast Awakening while actually using the power of the Soul of Demon Control!

If successful, not only could he help Hua Liuli solve the enlightenment problem, but he might also find a way to save the lifespans of Black Rose and Shi Yuying!

"No problem, I'll give it a try!"

"Good!"

Hua Liuli's eyes lit up.

She extended her hand again and grabbed at the void.

Another white fluffy rabbit flew out from the cage and landed in her hand.

This time, the rabbit was slightly larger than the previous one, and its fur was even purer white, clearly of better quality.

Hua Liuli took a deep breath, once again slicing her fingertip to force out a drop of dark purple blood.

The blood floated in the air, emitting a powerful magical fluctuation.

"Are you ready?"

Hua Liuli looked at Chen Yi and asked.

"Yeah!"

Chen Yi nodded and used his hands to imitate the movements and posture used when casting Spirit Beast Awakening.

But in reality, he was channeling the power of the Soul of Demon Control.

"Start!"

Hua Liuli let out a low shout and flicked the drop of blood toward the fluffy rabbit.

The drop of blood landed precisely on the rabbit's forehead and quickly merged into it.

The next second.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff—"

Just like before, countless scarlet blood threads erupted from the rabbit's body, spreading wildly to form a magic formation pattern, and then condensed into a black hole entrance.

Everything was repeating the previous steps.

But just as the blood threads began to tremble violently and were about to cut into the rabbit's body, Chen Yi made his move.

He pushed his hands forward forcefully, and an invisible force erupted from his body!

That power turned into a verdant light, precisely enveloping the fluffy rabbit!

"Hum—"

The verdant light and the scarlet blood threads began to merge.

A miraculous scene occurred.

The blood threads, which were trembling violently and about to explode, suddenly became calm.

The color of the blood threads shifted from scarlet to dark red, and then gradually faded, eventually turning into a soft pink.

And that black hole entrance also stopped rotating, stabilized, and the suction it emitted became gentle and orderly.

What was even more shocking was this.

A surging power of life gushed out from the void and flooded into the fluffy rabbit's body like crazy!

That power of life was so powerful and so pure that it even made the air in the entire underground space become fresh.

The surrounding plant-type magical beasts began to grow wildly, and animal-type magical beasts also let out comfortable groans.

Hua Liuli widened her eyes, her purple eyes filled with unbelievable shock.

"This... is this?"

Her voice trembled, and she could barely speak.

She recognized this power!

Hymn of Life!

This was an extremely rare special awakening type when awakening a Demon Emperor, an awakening type that could allow the Demon Emperor to truly obtain their original lifespan!

Under the blessing of the Hymn of Life, the Demon Emperor's lifespan would not be shortened; instead, they would obtain stronger power based on the strength of their past life's soul and the quality of their current body!

In thousands of years, Hua Liuli had only successfully triggered the Hymn of Life once.

That was an SSS-rank Bloodline Demon Emperor!

It was just a pity that the Demon Emperor eventually fell prematurely due to a decisive battle with a Beast Tamer from the current world.

Since then, Hua Liuli had never seen the Hymn of Life again.

She had originally thought it was a miracle that could be encountered but not sought, a random gift of fate.

But now...

Right before her eyes, Chen Yi had actually triggered the Hymn of Life?

Was this a matter of luck, or was it that... Chen Yi himself possessed this ability?

In Hua Liuli's heart, stormy waves were surging.

And at this moment, Chen Yi did not know what Hua Liuli was thinking.

He was concentrating fully on controlling the power of the Soul of Demon Control, feeling the fusion of that life force with the rabbit's body.

He could see—inside the rabbit's body, a sleeping soul was being awakened.

It was a female soul, emitting a coral-like azure luster.

The soul began to fuse with the physical body and began to resonate with Hua Liuli's blood.

The entire process was smooth and orderly.

There was not the slightest trace of the violent situation that happened at the very beginning!
