Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Lin Yi coughed twice. The severe pain in his chest almost tore his consciousness apart. Every breath he took felt like being cut by a knife, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The spores were wreaking havoc in his body, tearing at his internal organs, trying to take root and grow in his flesh and blood.

Lin Yi stretched out his hand and grabbed Tyne Zakaria's arm tightly. A hint of surprise flashed in Tyne Zakaria's eyes. He obviously did not expect that this human could still stay conscious and even fight back after suffering such a fatal injury.

He knew too well how difficult Lin Yi was to deal with - this guy was like an indestructible poisonous snake, the closer he was to death, the more dangerous he was.

Without any hesitation, more bone spears broke out from the ground, the sharp spear tips flashing with a cold light, pointing directly at Lin Yi's heart, ready to end the battle once and for all.

Lin Yi endured the severe pain. Just when the bone spear was about to pierce through Lin Yi's body, the Holy Nova exploded with him as the center.

The violent energy instantly shattered the surrounding bone spears, turning them into bone fragments all over the sky. Tyne Zakaria was also forced back several steps by this force, and the distance between the two sides widened again.

After keeping some distance, Lin Yi grabbed the two bone spears stuck in his chest with both hands and forcibly pulled the bone spears out of his flesh and blood.

When Lin Yi pulled out the bone spear, he could clearly feel the dragging sensation on the wound.

Those were the hyphae of spores growing wildly in his body. They were like countless tiny tentacles, tightly wrapping around his flesh and blood and sticking together with the bone spear.

Lin Yi's vision began to blur and he felt dizzy.

With a low roar, he finally pulled out the two bone spears, bringing out a cloud of blood mist and broken flesh.

But just as Lin Yi reached out to pull out the third bone spear, Tyne Zakaria took action.

Lin Yi heard a sharp sound of breaking air, and he almost instinctively chose to jump back.

The next second, four bone spears crossed like poisonous snakes and pierced into the ground where he had just stood. The spear tips sank deeply into the soil, making a dull sound.

The moment the bone spear pierced the ground, purple spores spread rapidly, eroding the surrounding soil like a plague.

Tyne Zakaria showed no emotion as the shot missed.

His goal was clear - to interrupt Lin Yi's actions and prevent him from healing his injuries.

It took a lot of effort to put Lin Yi into such an embarrassing situation. How could He just watch this tough opponent recover?
The fungal carpet on the ground quickly twisted and deformed, then condensed into several purple vines, pulling towards Lin Yi.

Lin Yi stabbed the long sword in his hand into the ground. Just when the vines were about to approach him, countless black spikes broke out of the ground with him as the center, like claws reaching out from hell, instantly cutting off the vines.

The black thorns not only blocked the attack of the vines, but also acted as a barrier, blocking Tyne Zakaria's vision.

Tyne Zakaria snorted coldly, and the power of the ancient gods gathered in his palm. The next second, those black thorns were turned into powder under his power.

However, this brief interval was enough for Lin Yi to pull out the last bone spear.

He threw the bone spear mixed with purple blood to the ground, making a crisp collision sound.

The moment the bone spear landed on the ground, the fungal blanket quickly wrapped around it, corroding it into a pool of purple smoke, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

From deep within the chest came the sticky sound of organs wriggling. That was the sound of organs wriggling under the erosion of hyphae.

Although a lot of mycelium was torn off when the bone spear was pulled out, the part that remained in Lin Yi's body was still spreading wildly, trying to completely invade his body.

[Warning: The hunter has entered the 'Spore Field', losing 1% of the maximum health per second (the 'Abyss Body' has been triggered, losing 0.6% of the health per second)]

A drop of blood exploded in Lin Yi's abdomen, and the spores controlled by Tyne Zakaria burst inside Lin Yi's body, trying to interrupt his recovery rhythm.

At the same time, five bone spears broke out from the ground and formed a plum blossom formation to block Lin Yi's retreat.

Lin Yi shot out a dark soul thread from his right hand, which wrapped around the chandelier on the ceiling and used the force to swing it away - three bone spears brushed past his ribs and pierced through the stone wall, while the fourth one tore a deep wound in his calf where the bone was visible.

'Purification.'

In mid-air, Lin Yi cast a purification spell on himself.

As the purification technique took effect, the hyphae that attempted to invade Lin Yi's internal organs began to wither and fall off rapidly.

If these hyphae are not completely removed, directly using treatment techniques will only seal them inside the body, which will cause even greater trouble.

Boom!
Lin Yi leaped sideways with flying gravel, and as soon as he landed, he put one hand in front of him. A half-meter-long bone spear broke through the air and pierced his palm in an instant.

As the palm of his left hand was pierced, Lin Yi raised his hand with all his strength and forcibly diverted the attack trajectory of the bone spear.

The tip of the spear scraped across his cheek, leaving a bloody mark, and blood dripped down his jaw.

Although the fatal blow was avoided, a purple mark appeared on Lin Yi's arm.

Since the mark only remains on the surface of the skin, the power of the abyss does not reject it, but this is obviously not good news.

Tyne Zakaria's attack did not stop. As his mental power spread, countless white bone spears suddenly appeared in the sky, densely packed like a rain of death arrows.

The bone spear was suspended in mid-air, with the tip pointing directly at Lin Yi, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

A large number of white bone spears fell down. Strangely, these white bone spears did not fall to the ground like raindrops, but tracked towards Lin Yi. The purple mark just now was a tracking mark, which could provide these white bone spears with a target to attack.

Lin Yi left a dark shadow. Apart from continuing to move at high speed, doing anything unnecessary could result in his death.

Lin Yi had just flown a few meters away when Tyne Zakaria in the distance pointed at him.

Bang!
Lin Yi felt a huge pulling force on his legs, and his speed dropped sharply.

He looked down and found that the ground was covered with a large area of ​​purple fungal mat, and the pulling force just now was the tentacles formed by Tyne Zakaria controlling the fungal mat, which tightly wrapped around his ankles.

At the moment when the speed suddenly dropped, several sharp sounds of breaking through the air came from the back of Lin Yi's head.

Ding, ding, ding...

Lin Yi raised his hand and placed more than a dozen layers of shields behind him, but even with Lin Yi's full defense, these shields only lasted for 0.3 seconds before they all collapsed.

There were so many white bone spears stabbing at him. Just now, thousands of them stabbed at Lin Yi.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Yi turned over from the ground and ran away.

White bone spears kept falling from the sky, chasing closely.

Wherever Lin Yi passed, the ground was riddled with holes pierced by bone spears, leaving behind a three-meter-wide road of bones, like a trail of death.

Tyne Zakaria stood in the distance, and every time he raised his finger slightly, it would slow down Lin Yi's speed.

Lin Yi's perception was stretched to the limit, and any slight movement around him could not escape his perception.

Although Tyne Zakaria's attack failed to hit him directly, it effectively slowed down his escape.

Under this intensive attack, Lin Yi's legs were scratched twice by the white bone spears. A large number of spores rushed into his body through the wounds, trying to corrode his flesh and blood.

The power of the abyss in Lin Yi's body surged rapidly, forcing the spores out of his body, turning them into wisps of purple smoke and dissipating in the air.

At this moment, Xiaoxue suddenly jumped up from the ground and wrapped around Tyne Zakaria's limbs.

After restraining Tyne Zakaria, Xiaoxue opened his bloody mouth at the end of his tentacles and bit towards Tyne Zakaria's body.

"Hmm? The same kind? This breath... is it new?" There was a hint of doubt in Tyne Zakaria's voice. Obviously, he did not expect to meet another ancient god here.

Xiaoxue's aura was too immature, and he was obviously a newborn ancient god who had just been born not long ago.

Lin Yi took advantage of this opportunity to quickly distance himself from Tyne Zakaria.

Tyne Zakaria's fingertips trembled slightly, and instantly locked onto Xiaoxue's tentacles.

The battles between ancient gods have always been cruel and bloody, and devouring their own kind is the most direct and violent means of doing so.

There are usually two ways for ancient gods to increase their power: one is to absorb the original power of the world and accumulate it slowly and steadily; the other is to devour other ancient gods, plunder their original power, and rapidly strengthen themselves.

The latter is extremely risky, and if you are not careful you will become someone else's food.

Tyn Zakaria knew this, so He never tried it lightly.

But the small amount of blood in front of him began to shake his sanity.

Xiaoxue, a newborn ancient god, has weak power but pure origin, making him the perfect prey.

After devouring the little blood, His strength will be further improved, and He may even have a chance to become one of the top ancient gods.

"What an unexpected gain..." Tyne Zakaria murmured in a low voice, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to see how powerful he would become after devouring Little Blood.

“Huh, huh~”

Lin Yi was panting. He had been dodging the white bone spears. The continuous high-speed movement caused him to lose strength quickly, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

What's worse, his body was covered with wounds of varying sizes, and blood dripped down the corners of his clothes, leaving dark red marks on the ground.

Now Tyne Zakaria's attention was completely attracted by Xiaoxue. He clenched his bone claws, and his jet-black nails pierced into Xiaoxue's tentacles like sharp blades, trying to crush it completely.

The tentacles of Xiaoxue tightly wrapped around the body of Tyne Zakaria, and even began to absorb his power in reverse. "A mere newborn dares to compete with me?" Tyne Zakaria sneered, with a flash of contempt in his eyes.

Purple power burst out from His body, instantly shaking away Xiaoxue's tentacles.

"hiss--"

Xiaoxue let out a painful scream, the end of his tentacle was torn apart, and red blood spilled on the ground like raindrops.

Lin Yi did not waste the time Xiaoxue bought for him. After healing his physical injuries, Lin Yi activated the power of the abyss in his body.

At this moment, Lin Yi's eye sockets were covered with black, and a large amount of activated abyss power was also wrapped around the black and white rose sword. The black energy was jumping on the blade like a flame, emitting a heart-pounding breath of destruction.

Although doing so would double the rate at which the power of the abyss would be consumed, Lin Yi no longer cared about that.

His figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a trace in the air.

The next moment, he appeared behind Tyne Zakaria, and his sword pierced the back of His neck with destructive force.

Tyne Zakaria reacted extremely quickly. His body suddenly turned, and his bone claws collided violently with Lin Yi's sword.

The huge impact force caused the two men to take several steps back at the same time. The ground cracked into countless cracks under the energy shock, and gravel flew everywhere, with smoke and dust filling the air.

A deep crack appeared on Tyne Zakaria's bone claw, and Lin Yi's knuckles were numbed by the shock, with blood dripping down the hilt of the sword.

"trouble."

Tyne Zakaria said in a low voice, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

The moment he collided with Lin Yi, he clearly felt that Lin Yi's strength had suddenly increased a lot.

With Xiaoxue watching closely from the side, the situation reversed instantly and Tyne Zakaria fell into a disadvantage.

Tyne Zakaria took a deep breath, acted decisively, mobilized the original power in his body, and forcibly broke through a part of the blockade of the Phoenix Mark.

At this moment, Skill 14: Decayed Bone Form on Tyne Zakaria's skill panel changed from sealed to available.

Due to the influence of the Phoenix Mark, the transformation blessing of this skill has not been fully restored and its effect has been greatly reduced.

Tyne Zakaria exerted force suddenly and tore off the tentacles wrapped around his body.

Then, a sticky white bone mucus gushed out from his body, wriggling and surging on his surface like a living thing, quickly covering his entire body and being replaced by a thick layer of bone armor.

This is Tyne Zakaria's second form - the Rotten Bone Form.

His body, wrapped in bone armor, made crisp "crackling" sounds, like a glacier crackling in the extreme cold.

[Warning: The target has activated the 'Rotten Bone Form', and the strength/physical attributes are temporarily increased by 5 points (weakened by the seal, the actual increase is only 25% of the complete form)]

[The hunter triggers 'Corrupted Gaze', and the agility attribute is temporarily reduced by 5 points. ]

"Crack!"

Tyne's bone claws brushed past Lin Yi's temple, and the wind pressure it created was as sharp as a blade, directly cutting off Lin Yi's left ear.

Before the blood could splash, three bone spikes had already pierced Lin Yi's right lung. The explosive spores exploded in his chest cavity. The pale green flames instantly engulfed his chest, burning through his flesh and blood, making a "sizzling" burning sound.

Lin Yi's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and hit heavily on a huge rock.

After unfolding the form of Rotten Bone, Tyne Zakaria's strength and agility increased greatly. Even though it was only an increase of 5 points, these 5 points were an exponential increase.

The moment Lin Yi raised his sword to block, he felt a huge force coming from the sword, and then he flew backwards, leaving him no time to react.

Tyne Zakaria waved his huge bone claws, constantly tearing Xiaoxue's tentacles into pieces.

"What an annoying ant!" There was suppressed anger in Tyne Zakaria's voice. He clenched his bone claws and crushed Xiaoxue's tentacles completely.

Lin Yi struggled to get up from the ground, raised his hand and cast a healing spell on himself.

The pale green flames continued to erode his vitality, making the repair process extremely slow.

Fortunately, Lin Yi's actual healing effect was not suppressed. After a few seconds, his injuries were finally relieved. Although he could not fully recover, at least it would not affect his movements.

While Lin Yi was being treated, Tyne Zakaria sprayed purple spore beams from his twelve spine-like exoskeletons towards Lin Yi.

"The Shadow of the Deep: Cutting the Moon."

Lin Yi swung the black and white rose in his hand forward, and a huge black sword energy whizzed out from the sword, colliding with the purple spore light.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the entire space shook violently. The sword energy and spore light offset each other, forming a powerful shock wave that overturned the surrounding ground several meters deep.

Tyne Zakaria's figure swayed slightly in the shock wave and he took a few steps back.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He obviously did not expect that Lin Yi could still burst out with such terrifying power despite being seriously injured.

In this state, Tyne Zakaria's attack and defense capabilities are extremely abnormal.

However, the price was that his spore ability was greatly weakened, which was equivalent to him giving up part of his ability and concentrating all his strength on pure destruction and defense.

Tyne Zakaria pressed down with one hand, and a teeth-grinding "cracking" sound came from Lin Yi's left arm, and the bones were forcibly twisted by some strange force.

The next second, the flesh and blood on Lin Yi's left arm burst, and blood splattered. Under the control of Tyne Zakaria, the white bones quickly condensed into a white bone spear, piercing Lin Yi's chest.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Tyne Zakaria's eyes.

His original plan was to directly control the ribs in Lin Yi's chest, causing them to burst, pierce Lin Yi's heart, and kill him in one blow.

However, the power of the abyss in Lin Yi's body was like a thick barrier. Even with his strength, it was difficult to break through this layer of defense in a short period of time.

In desperation, he could only settle for the second best and choose to control Lin Yi's left arm.

The concentration of the abyss power in the limbs is far less than that in the chest, and it is relatively easier to control.

Lin Yi never expected that Tyne Zakaria had such means.

The bone spear transformed from his left arm pierced his abdomen from the side, and the severe pain made him groan.

Blood dripped from the tip of the bone spear. This attack undoubtedly put Lin Yi in an extremely unfavorable situation.

The balance of victory has tilted towards Tyne Zakaria.

Although Tyne Zakaria consumed a lot of his original power when he transformed into the form of rotten bones, there was no trace of regret on his face.

His eyes were fixed on Xiaoxue not far away. As long as he devoured Xiaoxue, he would not only be able to make up for the loss of his original power, but also seize Xiaoxue's power, and his strength would be further enhanced.

This deal is not a loss no matter how you calculate it.

Lin Yi struggled to stand up. The light of the healing technique fell on the wound, and blood and flesh surged. The bones of his left arm gradually returned to their original state under the effect of the healing technique.

'Abyssal Shadow: Breaking the Sky.'

The long sword tore through the space, leaving a black mark in the air. As the sword light passed, a black mark suddenly appeared on Tyne Zakaria's chest. The power of the abyss turned into countless tiny black thorns, madly corroding His body.

Tyne Zakaria's body stiffened slightly, and his movements paused for a moment.

Lin Yi did not miss this opportunity. He swung his sword back and the tip of the sword accurately pierced Tyne Zakaria's neck.

He flipped his wrist and slashed his sword upwards, trying to split Tyne Zakaria's head in two.

Just as the sword was about to cut off his head, Tyne Zakaria closed his eyes.

An invisible wave erupted with Him as the center. Lin Yi only felt a huge force coming towards him. He was knocked away by this force. His feet left two long black marks on the ground. He slid for more than ten meters before he could barely stabilize his body.

"Abyssal Shadow: Sky Slash!"

Lin Yi jumped high. At this moment, all the power of the abyss was compressed on the sword blade. The sword energy compressed to the extreme separated from the sword body and turned into a huge black crescent, slashing towards Tyne Zakaria.

Tyne Zakaria tried to avoid the sword energy, but he soon discovered that the sword energy had locked onto his breath, and no matter how he dodged, the direction of the sword energy would change.

A trace of solemnity flashed in Tyne Zakaria's eyes. He no longer tried to dodge, but put his hands together, and the purple power of the ancient god condensed into a thick barrier in front of him.

"boom--!"

The moment the sword energy collided with the barrier, a deafening roar broke out.

The violent energy fluctuations spread in all directions, tearing the ground into bottomless cracks.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Tyne Zakaria's figure reappeared.

The white bone armor in front of him was already covered with cracks, and finally shattered completely with a crisp sound, turning into countless fragments that scattered on the ground. (End of this chapter)
