The furious Withered Reincarnation erupted with a massive surge of death power, washing over the entire space.
However, no matter how much he tried to destroy them, the sturdy spatial barriers restored themselves in the very next second.
Instead, it was Withered Reincarnation who suffered; currently suppressed into a humanoid form by the Collapsed Atmosphere, the Forbidden Fire on his body burned relentlessly, causing his aura to weaken continuously.
After weakening to the extreme, he would be reborn once more.
“Madman!”
Withered Reincarnation let out a furious roar as the death fire burning in his eyes splashed onto his arms.
The pitch-black death fire condensed at his fingertips, transforming into sharp death claws.
He roared, raking his claws against the shackles around his neck as his entire body's power erupted.
The flesh composed of white bones began to resist the pressure of the Collapsed Atmosphere, starting to swell and grow.
Yet no matter how much he grew or expanded, the shackles forged from Stratum Core around his neck remained unyielding, keeping him firmly imprisoned.
Even the power of death could not damage the shackles on his neck.
Even Withered Reincarnation was shocked by the material of these shackles, wondering what could possibly possess such hardness and elemental resistance.
Amidst his fury, his reason did not last long.
Soon, he no longer cared what the shackles were made of, instead focusing all his might on destroying everything around him.
He fought with everything he had, desperate to break free from the restraints.
Dalun Li looked down at Withered Reincarnation's struggle, simultaneously shocked by the sheer power of an evil god.
Withered Reincarnation truly could not die.
Even while imprisoned by him, scorched constantly by Forbidden Fire, and suppressed by the spatial power of the Collapsed Atmosphere.
There was still no way to kill Withered Reincarnation.
Whether it was Withered Reincarnation or Dark Starry Sky, the power of these evil gods had reached a level beyond Dalun Li’s comprehension.
Just as he couldn't fathom how Dark Starry Sky's divine power achieved a stealth capability that bordered on a universal law.
Nor could he imagine how Withered Reincarnation possessed such an immortal trait.
The closer he came to death, the stronger his vitality became, making him even more impossible to kill.
The more he died, the more immortal he became.
“This is too broken. It's practically a law-grade power.”
“Is this divine power? How many more evil gods are there in this world, and do they all possess such strength?”
“As expected, this world is still too dangerous. I should just keep a low profile in the Well of Eternal Imprisonment until I hit level one hundred.”
Dalun Li’s cautious mindset deepened yet another level because of Withered Reincarnation.
After the initial shock, it was time to consider how to exploit him.
Imprisoning an evil god consumed Dalun Li’s own power as well.
He had painstakingly smelted a small amount of Stratum Core, only to use it all on Withered Reincarnation.
No matter how he looked at it, Withered Reincarnation had to pay rent and a usage fee for those shackles.
It was impossible for the god to just hand it over; Withered Reincarnation likely wouldn't be willing.
Therefore, he had to find a way to squeeze it out himself.
Dalun Li entered the prison holding the evil god, the Collapsed Atmosphere in hand.
Seeing Dalun Li arrive in this space, Withered Reincarnation lunged forward in a rage.
Death power surged from his entire body, intertwining with the burning death fire to take on a physical form.
Like a pitch-black beast wreathed in flames, he pounced toward Dalun Li.
Dalun Li brandished the Collapsed Atmosphere. Invisible spatial chains extended from the shackles around Withered Reincarnation’s neck, instantly pinning the enraged evil god to the ground.
Withered Reincarnation roared, his massive body twisting frantically.
With a burst of evil god power, distorted death fire surged toward Dalun Li.
“You blasphemous madman, let me go!”
Withered Reincarnation seethed with rage, trying to tear the chains extending from his neck, but suppressed as he was, it was impossible.
Instead, his struggles only made the Forbidden Fire on his body burn even more intensely.
Watching the burning Forbidden Fire, Dalun Li found the first way to exploit Withered Reincarnation.
He would serve as fuel for the Forbidden Fire.
Since he couldn't be burned to death, he might as well be used as kindling.
During this combustion process, he could collect the Forbidden Fire and add it to the Automated Forbidden Fire Merger.
This would also speed up the merger's efficiency and increase the progress of the Forbidden Fire fusion.
With this immortal trait, if exploited properly, he was practically the chosen prisoner of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment—the ultimate outsourced employee.
Although Withered Reincarnation couldn't see Dalun Li’s expression, he keenly sensed that sliver of intent.
This fellow was actually considering exploiting him, a god!
He was Withered Reincarnation!
A supreme deity! How dare this man? How could he possibly dare!
To what extent did he intend to commit such blasphemy!
Withered Reincarnation lowered his body, his rage manifesting in incessant roars.
Dalun Li brandished the Collapsed Atmosphere, pulling the chains from the shackles to their tightest while compressing the surrounding space, firmly immobilizing the struggling Withered Reincarnation.
Dalun Li then took out the masterpiece grade magical artifact, the Life Casket.
Recognizing the effect of the Life Casket, Withered Reincarnation realized what Dalun Li intended to do.
He wanted to extract the life force of Zahra, the vessel!
Withered Reincarnation began to resist, but his efforts were futile.
Dalun Li activated the Life Casket, steadily draining the life force belonging to Zahra from within Withered Reincarnation.
Despite possessing massive evil god power, the imprisoned Withered Reincarnation had no way to resist the extraction of the masterpiece grade Life Casket.
He could only feel his internal life force being continuously drained.
The Life Casket could only extract the life force and souls of beings below the angelic grade.
Withered Reincarnation was clearly impossible to be absorbed by the Life Casket.
Thus, in Dalun Li’s eyes, this process was a form of purification.
He was extracting the impurities from Withered Reincarnation’s body.
It made the evil god power within Withered Reincarnation purer while simultaneously weakening its strength.
In Dalun Li’s palm, an invisible hand seemed to reach out from the open Life Casket and plunge into Withered Reincarnation’s chest.
It then continuously pulled a stream of green life force out of Withered Reincarnation’s body and into the Life Casket.
Withered Reincarnation struggled madly, but could only feel his power growing weaker and weaker.
Even though it was his vessel—the container for his power—it was actually being drained like this!
This bastard!
While Withered Reincarnation was furious, he wasn't worried about his evil god power being extracted.
While masterpiece grade magical artifacts were rare, they certainly lacked the power to touch the divine.
To Withered Reincarnation, a mere masterpiece grade artifact could not possibly extract his divine power.
As the life force was drained incessantly, all of Zahra's vitality was pulled into the Life Casket.
Click!
The Life Casket snapped shut, resting quietly in Dalun Li’s palm.
Yet within it now lay the life and soul of a 5th-rank mage.
Any 5th-rank mage was a precious source of information and knowledge.
Furthermore, a 5th-rank mage could be used to refine a large piece of Earth Vein Essence, allowing the Well of Eternal Imprisonment to gain a new masterpiece grade magical artifact.
Come to think of it, the Well of Eternal Imprisonment currently only had one masterpiece grade magical artifact: the Life Casket.
