He has already embedded the Controlled Life Soul in advance, imprinting the Control Mark in the Soul Beast Seed. He will soon be able to start the Super Mine Machine cultivation plan.

Looking up at the blood-colored flag fluttering in the wind, the Little Mage soared into the air, heading towards the Blood Pool.

A day later, the Blood Pool started to boil.

The originally dull blood water emitted a ghostly green light, and the surface of the pool continuously swelled with giant bubbles.

Standing by the pool, the Little Mage's dark golden pupils reflected the violently roiling pool water.

Through the Controlled Life Soul, he could clearly perceive that the life structure of the Soul Beast was undergoing dramatic changes.

Suddenly, the entire Blood Pool fell into silence.

The next second.

Boom!

A ghostly green beam shot up to the sky, and a Soul Beast nearly a meter tall appeared, floating in the air.

The appearing Soul Beast seemed to be composed of ghostly green clouds, its body structure hovering between half-real and half-illusion, surrounded by energy ripple fluctuations that looked like chain shadows, with an extremely sinister aura.

The Little Mage raised his hand and grabbed, releasing telekinesis to bring the Firefly Spider imprisoned nearby into his hand.

He used telekinesis to restrict the Firefly Spider's movement, slowly offering it to the Soul Beast.

In the blink of an eye, under his control, the Soul Beast pounced on the Firefly Spider like a hungry beast.

The moment it touched its prey, the energy-formed body of the Soul Beast suddenly cracked open into a terrifying opening, like a gaping maw.

The Firefly Spider tried to struggle, but under the suppression of telekinesis, it couldn't move an inch.

Then the mist-like body of the Soul Beast wriggled into the joints of the Firefly Spider, ghostly green energy seeping in like countless tiny tendrils through the compound eyes, mouthpieces, and even breathing apertures.

Green spider-web-like patterns started to emerge on the Firefly Spider's shell.

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking echoed densely.

The Firefly Spider's body unnaturally swelled and contracted, with the flesh under the shell churning as if boiling.

Its eight compound eyes were completely covered by ghostly green energy.

The devouring process proceeded from the inside out, with the Firefly Spider's originally tough shell starting to soften, revealing chain-like energy markings that matched the Soul Beast's body.

When the last part of the Soul Beast's body turned into green mist and fully entered the Firefly Spider, it suddenly convulsed violently.

Amid the dense cracking noises, the Firefly Spider's form began to rearrange.

When it stood up again, it had completely transformed into the Firefly Spider's shape, only exuding an evil aura identical to the Soul Beast.

But this trait soon dissipated.

From mere visual observation, there was no way to tell that this Firefly Spider was a Soul Beast taking its place.

It lay submissively on the ground, its abdomen rhythmically rising and falling, with even its breathing pattern indistinguishable from the Firefly Spider.

No wonder the Soul Returning Clan is one of the strongest opponents for the Reverse Tide Army.

This thing placed in a Small World, a single one could destroy an entire world, eventually becoming a super life collective that devours the world's memories.

Yet the most terrifying trait of Soul Beasts has never been possession and devouring, but the trait of infinite expansion.

Theoretically, a Soul Beast's growth talent has no limit.

Devour 100 Wisdoms and you can possess the wisdom of these 100 Wisdoms, and the initial memories won't be polluted by excess recollection.

However, in Monster World, even life forms like Soul Beasts at heaven-defying levels have been reduced to consumables.

The Little Mage raised his hand again and grabbed, pulling a two-meter-long Mine Machine before the Soul Beast with telekinesis.

The Mine Machine resembles a worm, its surface covered with hardened biological armor, its head lacking eyes and featuring only a spiral mouthpiece filled with thousands of fine tendrils.

The mining process is akin to a shield tunneling machine, able to continuously devour and excavate forward, with its stomach capable of decomposing impurities from ore for preliminary refining.

But this ability means nothing in Monster World.

The quality of Spirit Ore in Monster World is extremely high; the step of the Mine Machine removing impurities is entirely unnecessary.

Under his control, the Soul Beast reverted to its original form, its mist-like body surging to cover the Mine Machine's surface.

The pained Mine Machine instinctively opened its mouthpiece, thousands of tendrils frantically waving, yet it couldn't stop the rapid erosion of the Soul Beast.

Ghostly green energy seeped into the armor seams of the Mine Machine, with the hardened biological armor softening and changing color at a visible rate.

Before long, it was possessed and devoured by the Soul Beast.

Decomposition concluded, and compared to its birth, the Soul Beast's Hunting Level rose by 1 level to level 27.

The Soul Beast now had two life traits.

The Little Mage grabbed the Soul Beast and flew out of the Blood Pool.

He planned to put the Soul Beast into practical use.

Let's see if the Mine Machine form of the Soul Beast can completely resist the radiation energy erosion in resource mines.

A swift wind brushed past his ears as the Little Mage, with the Soul Beast, transformed into a blood-colored stream of light and landed at the entrance of Star Trace Valley Mining District twenty minutes later.

In the deep mine tunnel, visible purplish fog swirled, with radiation crystals condensed on the rock walls flickering with a faint light, an environment even elite soldiers of the Spirit Breath Clan cannot endure for long.

"Go." He released his hold, and the Soul Beast-formed Mine Machine immediately floated up.

The Little Mage used telekinesis to support his body, activating the Eagle-headed Demon Perception before following behind.

After a long time, the Mine Machine slowly flew to the depths of the mine.

In the Perception View, thick Space Department radiation energy automatically streamed away upon touching the Soul Beast's surface, as if repelled by some force.

And this is a talent only present in the Firefly Spider's life structure.

Experiment successful; this eighty thousand sacrificial power spends were worth it.

Next, he just needed to cultivate this Soul Beast into a Super Mine Machine to continuously produce Spirit Ore for the Spirit Breath Clan's development.

As for the mining efficiency of the Soul Beast, it can be quickly improved through devouring and evolution.

Next, he planned to take the Soul Beast to Illusion Flower Plain to find monsters to devour.

Just as he was about to set off, a thought suddenly popped into the Little Mage's mind.

Could he let his Super Beast be devoured by the Soul Beast, allowing the Soul Beast to inherit the Super Beast's power and life form?

His Super Beast, the "Final Giant Beast," usually remained idle, only activated during battle.

If the concept works, the Soul Beast inheriting Super Beast's power could be sent to mine for output during peace, and transform into Final Giant Beast form for fusion battle during war.

It might even be crafted into a combination of: Super Beast power, Pseudo-rule Mark (Spirit Breath World Rule-derived Imprint), Soul Beast power into a summoning type Special Life Soul.

Wouldn't this be equivalent to owning a unique pet capable of devouring, possessing, and optimizing genetic evolution?

His heart thumped as the Little Mage suddenly raised his head to look at the Guiding Water Ball:

"Brother Guide, help!"

[Release.]
