Meng Yan stepped forward and picked up the green iron piece.
This green iron piece was the witch tool that Mark had previously worn around his throat during their fight.
It was an extremely precious auxiliary soul-attacking witch tool.
As for why Mark fled but couldn't take this rare witch tool with him, it was naturally due to Meng Yan.
During the previous battle, when Meng Yan controlled the Blood Energy Flying Blade to attack Mark, he intentionally guided the Blood Energy Flying Blade to explode around the green iron piece.
After two consecutive rounds, a total of sixteen Blood Energy Flying Blades bombarded it.
This caused the green iron piece to eventually fall off Mark's body.
In his hurried escape, Mark didn't realize that the green iron piece had fallen off and landed on the ground.
Meng Yan looked at the witch tool in his hand, a cold glint in his eyes.
If today's battle had involved the previous Ryan, the best outcome would have been his soul shattered by Mark using this witch tool, turning him into an idiot.
He might even have suffered complete soul annihilation, leading to immediate death.
Meng Yan didn't want to discern who was right or wrong in the feud between Mark and Ryan.
However, now that he had taken Ryan's place, and Mark clearly harbored murderous intent towards him, it was obvious.
Meng Yan put away the green iron piece, blood-colored energy swirling around him.
He floated up and flew towards the gloomy castle behind him.
Next time he saw Mark, if Mark continued to be troublesome, he would kill him.
Meng Yan thought silently... Inside the master bedroom of the gloomy castle.
Meng Yan sat at the desk beside the long coffin, toying with the green iron piece he had taken from Werewolf Mark.
His Spiritual Power scanned it repeatedly.
Spiritual Power is a sensing ability that only extraordinary souls can derive.
Although Meng Yan's soul had merged with the Godhead, his Spiritual Power could still be projected outwards.
Moreover, his current detection range was at the Blood Clan Baron level.
The Spiritual Power detection range for a Blood Clan Baron is from one meter to one hundred meters in radius.
A newborn Blood Clan Baron only has a Spiritual Power sensing range of one meter.
At the peak Baron level, the Spiritual Power sensing range can reach up to one hundred meters.
Due to the influence of the Godhead, the quality of Meng Yan's Spiritual Power had undergone some inexplicable changes.
It was like a special mutation.
This mutation gave his Spiritual Power some strange abilities compared to the Spiritual Power of ordinary extraordinary beings.
Just like now, when Meng Yan used his Spiritual Power to examine this green iron piece, as long as he slightly focused his attention on the green iron piece, all the structures of this auxiliary soul-attacking witch tool would appear incredibly clear in his mind.
This was something that a Blood Clan Baron level of Spiritual Power could absolutely not achieve.
And this was just one of the abilities of Mutated Spiritual Power.
Meng Yan scanned the green iron piece with his Spiritual Power, focusing his attention on the iron piece.
He carefully observed all the structures of this witch tool as they appeared in his mind, studying its manufacturing principles.
After a long while, Meng Yan withdrew his Spiritual Power.
Looking at the green iron piece in his hand, Meng Yan's face clearly showed a hint of joy.
It turned out that this auxiliary soul-attacking witch tool had an ordinary Evil Spirit sealed inside.
An ordinary Evil Spirit whose power level was similar to that of a Blood Clan Baron.
Using sealing runes to extract the Evil Spirit's abilities and apply them to the user—that was the principle of this witch tool.
Currently, this sealed Evil Spirit still retained most of its power.
However, because powerful sealing runes were carved on the green iron piece, this Evil Spirit was confined within the witch tool, unable to move at all, and could only passively provide energy to the witch tool.
Evil Spirits are also a type of extraordinary being, so they can naturally be absorbed by the Godhead.
This was the first thought that popped into Meng Yan's mind after he learned that an Evil Spirit existed within the green iron piece.
Only by continuously absorbing extraordinary souls could he continuously improve his control over the Godhead.
Until he completely became the master of the Godhead.
Thinking this, Meng Yan used Blood Energy to condense a Blood Energy Flying Blade.
Having observed the complete structure of this witch tool, he naturally understood how to break the sealing runes and release the Evil Spirit.
He only needed to open a small crack in the seal, allow the Evil Spirit to emerge from it, and then wait outside for his prey to fall into his trap.
An Evil Spirit is a type of alternative soul body, which the Godhead can directly absorb.
Meng Yan first made some arrangements around the green iron piece.
Then, he controlled the Blood Energy Flying Blade to slash fiercely at a particular spot on the green iron piece.
A tiny crack appeared on the green iron piece.
Pfft.
Streams of green gas emerged from the crack.
Soon, a green humanoid figure appeared in mid-air.
"Heh heh, I am finally free!"
A cold voice echoed in the room.
"No, you are not," Meng Yan said with a smile from the side.
Around the green humanoid figure were Blood Energy Runes that had been set up in advance, which could temporarily restrain this newly released Evil Spirit for a period of time.
The Green Evil Spirit now also felt the surrounding restraints and began to struggle violently.
Under normal circumstances, if Meng Yan didn't interfere, the Green Evil Spirit would only need about half a minute to break free from the Blood Energy Runes' restraints and gain true freedom.
Unfortunately, Meng Yan would not give him such an opportunity.
He stretched out his hands, touching the violently struggling Green Evil Spirit.
At the same time, with a thought, a faint light emanated from the surface of the Godhead within his Blood Core.
Instantly, the Green Evil Spirit before Meng Yan vanished without a trace.
The Godhead easily absorbed this Evil Spirit.
Meng Yan clearly felt that his control over the Godhead had increased by a tiny bit.
If the Godhead was compared to an ocean, then Meng Yan was an insignificant drop of water in that ocean.
He was a part of the ocean, but the ocean was not him.
After the Godhead absorbed an extraordinary soul, the extraordinary soul would transform into nutrients, strengthening the part that belonged to Meng Yan.
After that drop of water absorbed nutrients, its proportion would become larger and larger until it completely covered the ocean.
At that time, he would completely control the Godhead.
Meng Yan closed his eyes, and the memory images of the Green Evil Spirit's entire life appeared in his mind.
After a long while, he finally received all the memories of this Evil Spirit, who had lived for over eight hundred years.
In the future, whenever he needed relevant knowledge or experience, he could easily recall the content in his mind with just a thought.
At this moment, Meng Yan's Spiritual Power detection range also expanded a bit, now precisely one hundred meters in radius.
A Spiritual Power sensing range of one hundred meters is the limit that a Blood Clan Baron can achieve.
Beyond that is the Blood Clan Viscount level.
Now, in terms of Spiritual Power sensing range alone, Meng Yan was undoubtedly at the peak Baron level.
Next, as long as he raised his physical strength and Blood Core level, he would truly step into the peak Baron level, becoming one of the Barons closest to a Viscount.
After the two experiences of the Godhead absorbing Ryan's soul and the Green Evil Spirit, Meng Yan also roughly understood that after the Godhead absorbs an extraordinary soul:
The soul consciousness will directly dissipate.
The soul memories are received by Meng Yan.
The soul power transforms into nutrients, increasing Meng Yan's control over the Godhead, and during this process, his Spiritual Power will also continuously strengthen and expand in range.
Meng Yan felt some emotion, the Godhead's utilization of extraordinary souls was truly brought to the extreme.
With such a "golden finger," as long as he continuously absorbed extraordinary souls, he would eventually be able to completely control the Godhead.
This was a perfect path to godhood.
