Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362

The Platform Floating Cloud descended, and the lifeless eyes of the dark giant gorilla below turned to look at them. Without a second word, a black mist swirled around its body, and with a grab of its hand, a black sphere was thrown at them.

Lin Yucha casually fired an arrow, shattering it, and a special power dispersed into the surroundings.

"Indeed, it’s the power of the dark element, but the strength is very mixed. Such messy power should not form Element Creatures," Du You frowned, feeling this unique power.

Somehow, just as Du You began to sense this power, he felt a sense of nausea.

He himself was also mainly powered by darkness, even able to absorb dark energy and utilize it, but Du You had no intention to absorb this power at all, it was just too chaotic. If other dark powers are like tap water, then this power is like the water in a sewer—revolting to even be near, let alone consume.

Generally speaking, the power of Element Creatures, although not as pure as one’s own, is still relatively refined. But what was the deal with this creature in front of them?

"Concentrate your power and conduct a thorough experiment," Du You instructed.

Lin Yushi, who was preparing to fight and eradicate it, quickly retracted her own power and attacked using the tier-four strength she had just attained. Various skills were unleashed by their hands, continually experimenting.

"It seems that my refined dark power does not have a restraining effect on this creature, but the creature also cannot restrain me. The corrosive nature of its dark power is very strong; it can likely easily infect other creatures, affecting them," said Du You, who has a profound understanding of dark power, given that he himself uses it.

However, the fact that his own power could not restrain the creature was somewhat surprising to Du You. Because at lower levels of power, pure dark forces are restrained by chaotic dark forces. When the level is raised to a certain height, the situation is reversed.

Ever since he advanced to tier four, his dark powers have always restrained other dark forces. This was the first time there was no such effect, but, of course, the creature was also unable to restrain him.

"My Soul Devouring Demon Flame can restrain it, but the effect is not very strong," observed Du You, watching the gorilla screech in agony as it was burned by the flames and speaking to himself.

"Our Demon Extermination Power shows a clear restraining effect on this creature. It hasn’t weakened," Lin Yucha suddenly interjected at this moment. Their main test was of their own Demon Extermination Power.

Lin Yucha continued, "Poison effects are ineffective. This thing isn’t afraid of poison, at least not of the common kind. Pure physical attacks are very weak, their bodies are as special as Element Creatures, Thunder and Lightning powers have no restraining effect; however, when combined with Demon Extermination Power, the effect greatly improves. Thus, using ordinary Demon Extermination Power would be best."

Du You nodded, then proceeded with more experiments. Devouring Swamp had no effect on this creature.

Approaching, Du You activated his own Defensive Barrier, which gave him some reassurance. "The magic barrier works as normal, Dark Absorption can directly absorb this creature’s power, but it’s somewhat sickening."

A wave of dark mist released from Du You enveloped and devoured a piece of flesh from the gorilla. Du You acquired a large amount of Magic Power, but this power made him feel nauseous and unwilling to use it, so he expelled it. Nevertheless, the amount of this Magic Power was very large, indicating that it indeed consisted of dark power. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

Like most dark powers, it had a lot of impurities, so the quality suffered, but the amount was really exaggerated. Moreover, this creature’s recovery speed was also very fast.

In other words, it had a significant reserve of Magic Power. As long as its body didn’t vanish, it could keep consuming its body to gain Magic Power. Afterwards, it just needed to restore the Magic Power to grow back.

The experiment couldn’t continue for long because the gorilla died. Although Du You held back, once the Soul Pierce struck, the gorilla collapsed.

"Could it be because the soul is incomplete, making it less resistant to soul attacks?"

Du You contemplated, "That’s a possibility. We will continue the experiments later. Yu Shi, use your Soul Spikes later on." The slow-acting effects of Soul Spikes were ideal for testing.

Soon, they found another batch of Dark Creatures. High-ranking ones were hard to come by, but there were plenty of lower-rank ones. Their goal was to clear out all these low-level Dark Creatures.

After testing, it was clear that these Dark Creatures indeed had insufficient resistance to soul attacks. When fighting alone, Lin Yushi’s Soul Spikes were more effective than her other skills.

Then, Du You began testing his Summoned Beasts. The Unicorn’s light power had a certain restraining effect on Dark Creatures, but it wasn’t very evident. However, upon seeing these things, the Unicorn became quite enraged. Its timid and fearful nature was gone, replaced by a desire to kill them upon encounter, even willing to engage in melee combat.

But when Du You inquired about the reason, the bubble just indicated its intense dislike for these things, not knowing exactly why – perhaps it was a kind of divine creature’s instinct.

The Ghost Pattern Crow could not be used; curses had no effect on this creature.

Xiaozi’s Paralysis Aura also lost its effect, and physical attacks weren’t very effective, so the Death God Scorpion and Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs didn’t perform well, whereas magic had comparatively better results.

Therefore, the Lich King’s power was fairly destructive against these things and should be considered for retention.

The Double-headed Blood Demon Dog, like Du You, did not enjoy devouring the power from these monsters, so there was no room to utilize its strength. Surprisingly to Du You, the Photon Elf turned out to be useful.

It was unclear whether it was because the Photon Elf was composed of dark power, but it could easily control some Dark Creatures and inflict notable damage on them.

In the end, only a few Summoned Beasts remained by Du You’s side. Aside from the special case of Xiaozi and the bubble, only the Photon Elf, Lich King, and Black Jade Griffin King were left, even the Dark Dragon was taken back by Du You.

To deal with these beings, conventional physical attacks could not be used, so those Summoned Beasts skilled in physical combat could not show much strength. After numerous experiments, Du You began clearing the area. Lin Yushi started creating Demon Extermination Spirits, while Du You used the corpses of magical beasts to create some Demonic Flame Skeletons.
