The monsters, led by Kunlin, swiftly flew into the depths of the forest near the Heavenly Pool.
In the forest were several black pools, constantly emanating a dark aura.
Kunlin flew above the pools and, without a moment's hesitation, dove headfirst into one.
The moment he was enveloped by the black water, a contented sigh echoed through the air.
The black pool gurgled with dark bubbles. A moment later, Kunlin's body floated to the surface. He lay on his back with his eyes tightly shut as a wisp of dark red light shot out from his body.
The wisp of light gradually coalesced into a black mist in the air. The mist swirled above Kunlin, gazing down at him with satisfaction.
"This body is far superior to those useless husks from before."
A monster soaking in the black water suddenly poked its head out. "My King, isn't it Yun Ji's body you desire most?"
The black mist whirled around in a rage, making the small monster tremble in fear. "His body will be mine, sooner or later!"
