Chapter 361: Chapter 129: Wang Ge’s Mother and the Sacrifice Mother Ran Into Each Other

Lynch let out a long breath.

Then, he felt a wave of... emptiness.

Not an emotional emptiness, but a tangible deficit originating from the depths of his Sea of Spirit.

He frowned, immediately sinking his consciousness inward to inspect his Sea of Spirit.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, his expression somewhat complicated.

He discovered that his maximum Spiritual Power had dropped by a full 8 points.

After his recent period of cultivation, his Spiritual Power had already increased a bit. With bonuses from his various pieces of equipment, his maximum Spiritual Power had reached about 71 points. But now, it had fallen to 63.

The amount lost was almost exactly the total Spiritual Power he had painstakingly gained through Meditation since advancing to Tier Two.

The Soul Fragment he had carved away had not only taken a part of his "self" but also the source of Spiritual Power associated with it.

And this loss of his Spiritual Power’s source was most likely permanent.

Lynch fell silent for a moment.

Wait.

It seemed like it wasn’t just a drop of 8 points.

Lynch suddenly remembered that when he refined Yenogu’s remnant will, the system had prompted that he gained 2 points of Spiritual Power. He had just been too busy to look closely at the time.

He immediately opened his panel and started scrolling through the system log.

Sure enough, there was an entry in the history: [You have successfully refined a sliver of the "Abyss Demon Lord’s Remnant Will." Spiritual Power +2...]

Alright then~

By that math, his maximum Spiritual Power had actually dropped by a total of 10 points.

That was about equivalent to... taking off his best Top Grade Spiritual Power equipment.

Lynch rubbed the bridge of his nose, the feeling of exhaustion from the Soul Cutting growing even more pronounced.

But...

’Was it worth it?’

Lynch raised his head and looked at the Profound Corpse standing beside him.

A Tier Five combatant.

A clone whose thoughts were linked to his own.

Incredible potential for future growth.

And those demon wings that were now barely usable.

’Ten points of Spiritual Power in exchange for this thing.’

Lynch felt he had made an absolute killing.

Besides, after sacrificing those 10 points of Spiritual Power, this Lifebound Profound Corpse didn’t even need to occupy any of his Commanding Power, which was a profit in itself.

After all, he was only Tier Two right now. Under normal circumstances, it would be incredibly difficult to command a Tier Five Undead Unit. Even if he forced it, the amount of Commanding Power it would occupy was definitely not something a mere 10 points of Spiritual Power could support.

As for the lost Spiritual Power~

Lynch had suddenly found a new source for Spiritual Power.

’If refining one sliver of remnant will grants 2 points of Spiritual Power, then refining ten slivers would be 20 points.’

’And if I could refine an entire Soul Fragment...’ Lynch’s heart skipped a beat.

’Wouldn’t I, Lynch, take off right here and now?’

In an instant, a fire ignited in Lynch’s heart.

Yenogu, as the master of the Gnolls and the god of the hunt, was a Lord-level existence ruling over a layer of the endless Abyss.

And the feud between him and this powerhouse was already set in stone.

It had all started when its consciousness was summoned, only to be stared down and driven away by Elegy’s mother. Later, it tried to use the Gnoll Chieftain Grom to get even, but he ended up being counter-killed by Lynch instead.

For the past two months, he had been methodically shearing this sheep, farming Yenogu’s remnant will like it was a "gold mine."

Lynch had no doubt that Yenogu had already memorized the aura of the insignificant human named "Lynch Blackwood."

He hadn’t been the one to actively seek this enmity.

That old bastard had made the first move.

And since they were enemies, there was no need for any psychological burden.

The key now was how to bait out more of the "god of the hunt’s" remnant will and squeeze more benefits from it.

Go directly to the Abyss!?

’That would be suicide, for sure.’

’Wait for Yenogu to remember me and come looking for revenge!?’

’No, that’s too passive, and the risks would be uncontrollable.’

Suddenly, Lynch’s eyes narrowed slightly as a vague idea formed in his mind.

As the ancestor of the Gnolls, Yenogu’s primary believers in the prime material plane were the Gnolls themselves.

Especially in those Jackal Wolfman Tribes that believed in the "Way of the Hunt" and worshipped their ancestor. As long as the Gnolls continued to call its name, its gaze would occasionally turn toward them.

And as long as its gaze fell upon them, it was possible for new remnant wills or consciousness to descend.

’As long as there’s remnant will...’

Lynch’s breathing grew slightly heavier.

He didn’t plan on fighting another large-scale war to wipe out the Gnolls. That would cost too many troops, too much money, and too much time.

He just needed to find a way to subdue a few Gnoll underlings.

Have them return to their respective tribes to persuade them, to spread the bait, and then... HEHEHE~

’But this kind of thing can’t be rushed. I should probably let my soul wound heal first... then I can slowly plot how to fleece that big shot Yenogu some more~’

With his mind made up, Lynch turned his eager gaze back to the Profound Corpse and said, "You still need a name. Since you’re my Lifebound Profound Corpse, let’s keep it simple. From now on, you’ll be called [Xuan Yi]!"

After naming it, Lynch didn’t rush to test Xuan Yi’s other abilities.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but at this moment, the emptiness in the depths of his Sea of Spirit was growing more and more obvious. It was a hollow feeling that even made his thoughts feel sluggish.

He hurriedly had Xuan Yi lie back down in the white jade sarcophagus.

Xuan Yi immediately strode over, its massive body sitting down in the sarcophagus before lying back. It then crossed its arms over its chest and entered a dormant state.
