Saleen’s limit was controlling thirty-six grade-9 elemental creatures. In order for all of them to fight for him, he would only have to control the leader of the elemental badge.
Unfortunately, he did not bring along the ancient warriors, as they were much more powerful. The advantage of elemental creatures was that they could not be killed, and that made them one of the most powerful weapons to be refined by the ancient humans.
Saleen could not think of any human that could be able to repel an attack like the war hammer that was also embedded with magic power.
Fortunately, the size of elemental creatures could be manipulated. The stone statue soldiers could be as tall as one-hundred yards or as short as ten yards. At ten yards in height, they would be able to fight in confined spaces. If Saleen could find water-elemental creatures, his power of transformation would probably be even more powerful.
Fire-elemental creatures must possess countless berserk attacks. Wind-elemental creatures would possess speed that no human could catch up with. Light-elemental creatures were immune to physical attacks. The advantage of dark-elemental creatures was still unknown, according to Saleen’s magic notes.


Darkness elements were the elemental power that mages knew the least of. If they could congregate and become lifeforms, their attributes would make them even more mysterious and difficult to defend against.
Saleen entered the military depot once again. He raised a gigantic water shield and enclosed Nailisi and water puppet within it. He said to Nailisi,
I still have some equipment left to be refined. You must wait patiently. Rossen will stay outside while you will stay here.

Nailisi’s back was facing water puppet, but there was a strange smile on her three faces. The water puppet noticed it and could only sigh. Saleen had asked him to stay outside because his entire body was full of the aura of water elements. He would be able to remain inconspicuous underwater as elemental creatures would only treat him as water.
After the water puppet left, Saleen said to Nailisi,
You were too reckless. I was about to send the water puppet to find you.


Master, I am unable to fully maximize the power of this long lance when I’m in spirit form.
Nailisi ignored Saleen and began to complain.
Saleen heard what Nailisi said and only replied,
If Nicholas was around, you would have been able to restore your power very quickly.

Nailisi lowered her head. She knew that Saleen was reminding her that she must be united with the other followers as all of them possessed unique attributes and talents. Saleen was right. If Nicholas was around, her injuries would have healed within three days at the most and the price to pay would only have been a few decades of life.
A few decades of life were nothing to a Luoluokaluo.

Alright. You can take all the magic fluid here. That should heal your injuries a bit faster,
Saleen said and took out a big bottle of magic fluid that was created for him by the Sregl Island mages.
Magic fluids were created using grade-7 spells. Only sorcerers would be able to create so much power at one go. Saleen made sure that he brought enough magic fluid for the hunt.


Nailisi took the green jade bottle that was even bigger than a wine flask and returned to her imp form. There was a huge wound beside her heart and between her chest and abdomen. The wound was already healing, but it still looked very terrifying.
Saleen pretended not to notice Nailisi’s healing her naked body in front of him. Nailisi did not try to do anything funny either when she was in her imp form with a long tail behind her. Beneath her transparent skin were golden and green magic patterns interlaced with each other while a row of skeletal thorns stretched from her back all the way down to her tail. On both sides of the skeletal thorns were scales that had yet to disappear.
Nailisi did not really need the protection from her scales anymore. The Lightning Guardian unleashed from the magic patterns underneath her skin was a more powerful defense compared to her devil scales.
Nailisi’s wound contracted. Demon bodies were strong and resilient. Almost all demons with bloodlines possessed powerful self-healing abilities, with Luoluokaluo being one of the most powerful ones.
Nailisi did not look at Saleen refining equipment either as her back faced him while she was taking in the magic fluid. After taking in a large amount of magic fluid, they finally allowed the natural qualities of Nailisi’s body to take effect. A beam of green energy shot out from her wound and into Nailisi’s grasp.
Her hands were able to control this energy.
Nailisi took out her long lance and infused the green energy into it. There was a dim light in the long lance originally, but after absorbing the green energy, the magic patterns in the lance begin to shine and magic light could be clearly seen even from its surface.
This light vanished after flashing once. Nailisi put away the long lance and patiently healed her body. There was already minimal remaining energy in her wound, and with the help of the magic fluid, her injury was finally healing at a normal rate.
Under normal circumstances, such a large amount of magic fluid would have been able to heal an entire battalion of soldiers. It still could not heal Nailisi’s wound completely, which showed just how terrifying the silver line golden spearfish’s attack was.
Saleen ignored Nailisi and refined the five pieces of Eternal Control shards repeatedly with water flame. The magic patterns, magic arrays, and power of rules embedded in the shards gradually integrated together.


Compared to the horn of the single-horned white whale, the black crystal was still too fragile. Saleen did not dare to make any mistakes.
It would not be easy to control the elemental badge. The five shards of Eternal Control that Saleen refined would be able to last for a century. Compared to Shanglan’s broken jades, the difference was as much as a thousand times.
It was hard to detect the passing of time in the darkness. Saleen was engrossed in the complete rule while Nailisi was patiently allowing her wound to heal. In order to fully maximize the abilities of her long lance, it was better if she was in her imp-form. It was not that she could not do so in devil-form, but it was just that the devil-form was more than twenty yards tall. Holding the seven yard long lance was like holding onto a short dagger.
The human-form was too weak. Although Nailisi was already learning archery from Eleanor, its advancement was still more difficult than learning magic and combat. Her talent did not lie in archery because she was not an elf. Training for a long time was boring and dry to Nailisi. Her character was not one that could keep still.
The water puppet guarded the door. Other than elemental creatures, there were no other lifeforms in the broken city. The fish and magic beasts commonly seen in the sea were unable to go there. Only the single-horned white whales that had been subdued by the ancient humans would still return to the Imperial City of the Abyss to wait for their death.
Ten days passed just like that. Nailisi’s wound healed fully on the eighth day while Saleen was only able to take out more black crystals on the tenth day to throw them into the water flame. The black crystals were compressed, refined and infused into the shards of Eternal Control, turning the shards that were originally a mixture of black and white into solid black completely.
The exterior of the Eternal Control shard was completely made up of black crystal and the interior of the crystal was full of magic patterns. Only by using the power of black crystals would souls be automatically absorbed into the shards and be controlled.
The water shield had broken long ago. Saleen stood up and opened up his magic shield once again. He said to Nailisi,
Alright. How much time has passed?

Nailisi took out the magic clock and took a glance at it before saying with a frown,
We will have one week’s time before we reach three months.


We have been here for four months. If we don’t return soon, we will be in big trouble. There is no way Grand Duke Iron Blood will not react to the ancient combat vessel. His Dragon Island is unable to fly over Qin Empire directly at least. Hey, let’s leave soon and gather the elemental badges.




Master, you don’t intend to search the single-horned white whale cemetery?


Depends on our luck. The Imperial City of the Abyss is twelve-thousand miles long and eight-thousand miles wide. It is basically an empire. We don’t have time to search every inch of it. Soldier is not around, and we cannot fly over the Imperial City of the Abyss. Once we fly over a certain height, we will trigger magic attacks. I don’t wish to face such attacks again.

Nailisi rolled her eyes but did not have any other suggestions. She did not wish to deal with the water puppet at the moment. There was danger everywhere in that place and they would still need to rely on the water puppet the scout the road ahead of them.
Nailisi transformed into her three-faced bone demon form again. She already knew the special attribute of elemental creatures. If she was in a spirit form, not only would the elemental creatures not attack her, they could not even be bothered to look at her.
Saleen summoned Rossen. His left index finger has yet to recover. He had spent the past ten days on refining equipment and did not pay extra attention to this finger that had dried up. It was better to place the crystal ring on the water puppet’s finger for a time.
Saleen was human so he would be the one that would attract most of the elemental creature’s attention. Nailisi decided to boost Saleen with Spirit Blessing, so that his entire body would be surrounded by black death aura.
The three of them arranged themselves so that water puppet was in front while Nailisi brought up the rear in order to protect Saleen. They walked along the edges of the city and headed to the north. This route should belong to the military depot of the elemental creatures. The humans that controlled elemental creatures all lived in the tall towers.
That time around, the water puppet did not turn into his human-form. Instead, he transformed into a water current while Saleen also cast his own Current Cutter to merge with him. Both of them were like two sea serpents that swam quickly underwater.
The ground elements here were terrifyingly rich. Nailisi’s ability to sprint could be put to good use there. Those elemental stone statue soldiers were able to run so quickly underwater because of environmental reasons.
After traveling for close to one-hundred miles, the water puppet stopped. There was another collapsed tower ahead. The should be the place where the leader of the stone statue soldiers stayed. The water puppet carefully placed himself close to the wall and entered through the broken window on the second level. His appearance did not attract the attention of the leader of the stone statue soldiers.


The water puppet turned around and retreated using the same route. Then, he tangled himself around Saleen and used vibration to transmit sound frequency into Saleen’s ear,
My Lord, this one does not have a soul…
