My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 443 Hey, get up and kill someone!
Xia Lin has suffered an undeserved misfortune.

To assume someone else's identity and inherit their karma is an unchanging truth—and now, karma has come to pass.

He looked at the five people standing around him.

The Spirit-Binding Immortal, the Blue Witch, the Fist Demon, the Soul Singer, and the Flame Demon.

All of them were originally the twelve levels of the Creator of Heaven.

But looking into their eyes now, one can see a complex light shining within them.

It contained hatred for the betrayer, memories and longing for the past, and a deep-seated emptiness and confusion.

"They really are being controlled."

Xia Lin had guessed this possibility when the spirit-binding appeared before.

—To the holder of dark-side authority, it is incredibly easy to alter people's thought processes, distort their loyalty, and incite hatred by manipulating symbols in the dark dimension.

—Even without the pursuit of hunger, given more time, Xia Lin could have accomplished something similar.

The dark side has this kind of power!

Are the spirit-binding group truly completely loyal to the creator of Heaven?
Not necessarily...

At present, the Lord of Heaven is weak and isolated, clearly not a good ruler. Loyalty is acceptable, but it should be kept in one's heart and not expressed in such a drastic way.

However, under the interference of the dark dimension, even those at level twelve cannot escape the fate of having their minds distorted.

Of course, now is not the time to study how to manipulate hunger.

Xia Lin shook her head slightly: "I don't think that will work."

The spirit-binding hand tightened its grip, as if trying to crush Xia Lin's shoulder: "That's not up to you!"

The sound of "click-clack" quickly rang out.

The spirit's shoulder twisted and deformed rapidly, and the head of a blue-faced, fanged demon emerged from the flesh. Then, it roared to the sky, shattering a large area of ​​space, and bit down on Xia Lin with a howling ghostly aura!
Xia Lin had already searched for the dark side of this group of people immediately—but to no avail.

Just like the spirits that bind, the dark side of this group was all hidden by hunger.

This is purely coincidental...

Previously, hunger had set a trap for Xia Lin in two dimensions, and the group of people who bound spirits might all be assassins from the real dimension.

It was only because Zhang Hai's assistance broke the deadly trap that the group was unable to continue their pursuit of Xia Lin and had to temporarily give up.

It's unclear what kind of symbolism hunger is, whether it's permanent or time-limited... In any case, to this day, their dark symbolism remains unrevealed.

At this moment, they are preparing to make a move against Chu Chen. This should not involve the dark dimension... but Chu Chen is Xia Lin!

To sum it up in one sentence: The process was wrong, but the result was right.

It was truly a lucky accident.

The demon's skull is already upon him.

Xia Lin suddenly raised his right hand and pressed it against the head of the evil spirit, his right hand flashing with the light of the Heavenly Dao Equation.

A tremendous force surged forth, causing Xia Lin's arm to tremble slightly, tearing through space and creating black ripples.

The spirit suddenly spoke: "You're not Chu Chen! Who are you?!"

With just one move, Fuling realized that Chu Chen was not Chu Chen. When the power of the Heavenly Dao Formula began to cover the Fate Ghost like a grid, preparing to seal it, Fuling Immortal Venerable suddenly realized!
"Xia Lin! You're Xia Lin!?"

He had fought Xia Lin before and witnessed the power of the Heavenly Dao Equation.

At this moment, Xia Lin used the Heavenly Dao Equation, and with just a simple discernment, the Binding Spirit Immortal Venerable immediately recognized Xia Lin's true identity!
The surprise vanished in an instant, turning into excitement and exhilaration.

"That's wonderful!"

His response was Xia Lin's backhand grappling!
The two were standing very close together; in fact, the Bound Spirit Immortal Venerable's hand had just landed on Xia Lin's shoulder.

With their faces practically touching, Xia Lin suddenly sprang up, leaving the Spirit Binding Immortal Venerable little time to react.

Two beams of skill light, each with different abilities, surged from Xia Lin's hand and, just as the Spirit Binding turned from surprise to joy, forcefully struck the Spirit Binding Immortal Venerable's left hand!

Pseudo-random permutations are not working!
When facing level 12 opponents, pseudo-random permutations still need to hit repeatedly to achieve the theoretical effect.

But the Eternal Mark lived up to Xia Lin's expectations and took effect successfully.

There's no rush to use eternal tracing.

Xia Lin kicked out at the abdomen of the spirit-binder, but the spirit-binder had already regained his senses and raised his knee to block.

Fists and kicks stirred up fierce winds, and the intense hand-to-hand combat at close range erupted instantly. The winds from the collisions turned into energy storms, sweeping across the entire arena.

In the blink of an eye, they exchanged thousands of moves.

Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard, and Xia Lin retreated rapidly, only managing to stand firm after a hundred meters away.

He looked up at the Bound Spirit Immortal Venerable and exhaled a foul breath that smelled of blood.

"This is unbearable..."

The Emperor Engine kept running non-stop, already pushing Xia Lin's attributes to their theoretical limit.

However, this attribute is still far from sufficient when facing a mid-level twelfth-tier immortal like the Bound Spirit Immortal Venerable.

In the brief and intense hand-to-hand combat, Xia Lin, relying on his martial arts experience, not only failed to gain the upper hand but also suffered a hidden loss.

It is a fact that the Bound Spirit is not good at melee combat, and even coexists with ghosts, which causes the Bound Spirit Immortal Venerable's attribute performance in normal state to be far below the average level of level twelve.

But his base stats and attributes are too high...

Little did they know that Fu Ling was more surprised than Xia Lin.

In their last encounter, Xia Lin demonstrated the strength and resilience of his skill set.

In this encounter, the Spirit Binder discovered another advantage in Xia Lin...

"Your bones are too hard!"

Xia Lin chuckled.

Material mimicry and the reforging of all things had long ago transformed Xia Lin's skeleton into a raging alloy skeleton.

Even without the strength and skill set of the One-Eyed Lord of Greed, the essence of this bone is the same as that of the Lord of Greed, so how could it not be hard?

I'm too lazy to waste time arguing with the bound spirits.

Xia Lin glanced at the other four people who were stepping forward, and without saying a word, he activated Eternal Tracing, his target: himself!

Five Venerables at Level 12—these are opponents that Xia Lin will find difficult to handle.

Running away in this situation is not shameful at all.

The light and shadow began to shift, and the scenery began to change.

The power of eternal tracing carries Xia Lin into the mysterious river of time, attempting to trace Xia Lin back to his state and location several hours ago.

However, when the old tricks were used again, the spirit-binding creature remained completely unfazed.

"A futile struggle..."

The blue light bloomed instantly, like a rose.

As Xia Lin looked to the side, he saw the Blue Witch's hands crossed in an X shape, her fingertips fluttering in the air as if playing an invisible piano.

A strange energy emanated from the void and instantly enveloped Xia Lin.

The Blue Witch parted her cherry lips slightly and uttered four words: "Reality Correction".

The perpetual retrospective has been successfully implemented.

However, when Xia Lin opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that he was still in the same place, without moving at all!
A speechless muttering of complaints came from the side.

"Whether you're Chu Chen or Xia Lin, we've made our stance clear. You don't think we'll let you get away, do you?"

Five against one.

Whether the target is Xia Lin or Chu Chen, it doesn't really make a difference—because in terms of strength, the two are actually quite evenly matched.

There was no intention to insult Xia Lin.

In fact, for Xia Lin, who is only level 11, to be treated as if he were level 12, shows that the other side has already shown a lot of respect.

Ghostly energy roared and rose, while the bound spirit muttered incantations and activated the Dao Integration Technique and the Life-Ghost Symbiosis Technique!
The dimensional space began to tremble, and the great array within flickered with light and darkness before quickly disappearing into the void.

Xia Lin didn't even glance at the spirit-binding creature.

He merely turned his head slightly to look at the beautiful woman with blue hair, a pretty face, and a charming figure.

She smiled at Xia Lin, as if responding to his scrutiny.

"Blue Witch, Occupation: Witch".

"Oh, I'll remember you."

[Reality Correction (Six Pillars Level) (Level Twelve Core Skill): Active Skill. This skill is exclusive to Level Twelve and can be released after incorporating the power of divine transcendence, negating all enemy judgments!]
Our motto is: Change the world with magic!

The source of a witch's power lies in magic. And the essence of magic lies in its ability to modify and interfere with reality! This skill is the manifestation of the witch's magical power, the core and supreme ability of the witch profession!

Having this skill allows you to freely modify reality, including but not limited to: changing the form of things, altering the outcome of events, and negating skill effects. However, depending on the outcome of the skill, you will consume varying amounts of mental energy; when mental energy is depleted, it will be replaced by life energy.

Note: A witch's magic is not as stable as a fairy's power or the power of heaven and earth... It is both a blessing and a curse. Use this skill with caution, for it can truly take your life.

Witness the effects of the talent and eternal inscription on Xia Lin's retina.

This also made Xia Lin realize that if this person didn't die, he would have no chance of escaping.

Then I won't run away!

A fierce glint flashed in Xia Lin's eyes, and his figure moved like lightning.

A series of east winds instantly appeared beside Xia Lin, and the light of the Heavenly Dao Equation flashed, instantly making these east winds appear half-illusory and half-real!
Heavenly Equation Subsidiary Skill: Skill Enchantment!

[Skill Enchantment (Temporary) (Actual skill level depends on the main skill): Transforms any skill into an enchanted ability, attaching it to an entity or the light of another skill!]

Heavenly Equation Subsidiary Skill: The Strongest Mutation!
[Strongest Mutation (Temporary) (Actual skill level depends on the main skill): Active Skill. This skill has no cost and no cooldown. Lock onto the target using perception, activate this skill, which will ignore distance and all of the opponent's defenses, and will take effect on the target immediately and without delay! Everything possessed by the target affected by this skill will undergo random mutation!]

Xia Lin's skills: Pseudo-random Displacement, Eternal Mark, Reforge of All Things!
Using the Dongfeng missile as the physical entity and skill enchantment as an auxiliary, the Dongfeng missile is given four skills: the strongest mutation, pseudo-random replacement, eternal mark, and reforging of all things!
Of course, it also includes various auxiliary skills constructed from the Heavenly Dao Equation.

This has resulted in the following effect:
All enchanted Dongfeng missiles not only possess the effects of the four skills: strongest mutation, pseudo-random displacement, eternal mark, and reforging of all things, but also have the strongest mutation's special trait: [perception lock-on, ignoring distance, ignoring defense systems, and taking effect immediately]!

Although it is true that the Heavenly Dao Equation is not suitable for Xia Lin's existing ability system.

However, as a core skill of the Six Pillars... this skill is powerful enough to be used alone, and can be considered a system in itself!

The Dongfeng missile, half-illusory and half-real, trailing its tail flame, appeared instantly in front of the five enemies in a manner almost like a spatial flash.

However, the theoretically invincible enchantment, East Wind, has a rather mediocre actual effect.

Xia Lin had used this tactic before when fighting the Bound Spirit.

Therefore, he already knew this: the strongest mutation wasn't invincible. Xia Lin had only used the strongest mutation once before.

It was used on Bev, one of the Five Kings of the Dark Domain.

Bev, one of the Five Kings of the Black Domain, is a level twelve, but a crippled level twelve. No one outside at level twelve regards this group of people as fellow cultivators of the same level.

In the battle of level twelve, whether a skill can take effect, and to what extent it can take effect, does not depend on the skill level or the judgment level, but on the overall quality of the professional using the skill!

The strongest mutation could instantly kill Bev, but it couldn't instantly kill any of the level twelve individuals present.

They even have other ways to become immune to this move and completely unaffected by this skill!
—With a flash of immortal power, the Binding Spirit Immortal Venerable used the Entanglement of Cause and Effect skill to change the subject of the skill.

Thus, the effect of the enchanted east wind, while ostensibly acting on the Spirit Binding Immortal Venerable, was actually transferred by him to his ghost servant.

Ghost servant, not fate ghost.

There are only three level twelve life ghosts and three spirit-binding immortals, but there are 30 trillion spirit servants with this kind of substitute skill!
The shrill howl of the ghost instantly turned into a cat's meow.

The ghost servant mutated into a kitten, and was then kicked away by the bound spirit.

The life-ghost symbiote has been fully formed, and the Dao-merging domain has filled this dimensional space.

A chilling wind suddenly swept through the blue sky and white clouds dimensional space, and a three-headed, six-armed ghost replaced the sun, looking down at Xia Lin from its high position!

The binding spirit no longer gives Xia Lin any room to maneuver.

The spirit-binding immortal in the ghost's eye suddenly collapsed, transforming into the immortal ghost rope that once again entangled him!

This time, Zhang Hai will not be there to save Xia Lin's life!

Before the Immortal Ghost's Rope could even get close, the other four places also reacted.

The Blue Witch flicked her finger again, and before the enchanted East Wind could hit her, the missile turned into a water ball and exploded, wetting the ground—Reality Correction!
She not only modified the missile's shape, but also changed the "guaranteed hit, immediate effect" clause!
Powerful music then began.

"Go go go, the show's about to begin!"

A gaunt soul singer with an afro, dressed in a skull costume, and playing an electric guitar made an exaggerated entrance!
Thus, the enormous stage transformed from virtual to real, appearing out of thin air.

The Dongfeng missile struck the soulful singer, turning him into fireworks that became an embellishment to the stage curtain.

The lead singer and lead guitarist, bassist, drummer, and keyboardist took to the stage one after another, and upon closer inspection, they all resembled soulful singers!

With a "thump," the drummer struck the beat.

"What should we start with?"

"Let's get wild, let's get wild!!"

The ones interacting with the Soul Singer (drummer version) are Fist Demon and Flame Demon.

The enchanted east wind also hit both of them, but their response was quite simple.

They do nothing.

Dongfeng, but it didn't work either...

There's no other reason than the vast difference in attributes.

These two, as pure melee warriors, have exaggeratedly high attributes and racial stats, and their total energy is also extremely astonishing!

It's thick and hard, able to withstand all the fancy and fancy stuff.

Even now, the two of them are still waving and cheering for the soulful singer, just like the band's little fans.

"Boom" sound.

The Soulful Singer (lead vocal version) strums his guitar and laughs heartily.

"Let's go for something wild!"

"First Movement, Hellfire!"

【Song of the Soul (Six Pillars Level) (Level Twelve Core Skill): Active Skill. This skill is exclusive to Level Twelve and can be released after incorporating the power of divine transcendence, negating all enemy judgments!】
Listen, to the voice of the soul!
Once activated, this skill will split you into four, transforming you into four band members, each with a different role and unique soul voice. Simultaneously, this skill will create a soul music stage for you! While on this stage, you will be immune to most external distractions, allowing you to focus entirely on your performance!

Upon acquiring this skill, you will not gain any other level 12 core skills! All your other skills will be converted into Soul Song sub-repertoire!
Note: My life has been dedicated to song; this is my one and only love!

【Song of the Soul. Hellfire (Racial Heritage Level) (Song of the Soul Sub-Skill): Active Skill】

Performed piece: Hellfire.

Main cast: lead vocalist and lead guitarist.

The Soul's Voice focuses on: crowd control, buffs, and direct damage!
Track length: 10 minutes!

The rousing music exploded instantly, and the lead singer and lead guitarist leaned in front of the microphone, delivering an absolutely professional and highly infectious tone!
The night swallowed the last glimmer of light.
I'm searching for direction in the ruins.
The less anger you feel, the more intense it becomes.
Like a wild beast howling after being imprisoned for a thousand years~~

The powerful notes materialized, sweeping across the entire area centered on the stage.

A fierce wind swept across, causing the earth to dry up, sparks to rise from the ground, and fire to fly from the sky, turning the whole world into a sea of ​​fire.

This sea of ​​fire is clearly a kind of domain... but it does not conflict with the Dao Integration Domain of the Bound Spirit. On the contrary, it complements the sinister Dao Integration Domain of the Bound Spirit, presenting a strange scene of a fiery hell!
This was a fusion of East and West under the guidance of a professional, causing Xia Lin to retreat instantly, attempting to dodge the blazing flames with a certain tracking function and the approaching Immortal Ghost Rope.

The east wind continued to roar and sweep towards the five people, but for the time being, it had no effect.

The gaze passed through the curtain of heavenly and earthly fire, looking down at the Fist Demon and Fire Demon poised to unleash their power below the stage.

The Fist Demon was dressed in golden armor and had a burly build, standing at a height of three meters.

As he listened to the powerful Hellfire Song, flames rose from the joints of his armor.

The Song of Hellfire greatly enhanced the Fist Demon's combat power.

"The singer's song is really powerful!"

Beside him stood Yanba, a level 12 expert from the zombie clan. Yanba was a variant of the drought demon, and with the blessing of the strange fire, he was in his prime.

He bent down, his limbs touching the ground, as if drawing power from the fiery earth. The dark red patterns on his body spewed out thick, murky white light, carrying astonishing heat, which propelled Yanba's body to expand rapidly.

The two spoke in unison, starting the countdown.

"three……"

"two……"

"one……"

The countdown has ended.

The roar was deafening.

Two marks, one red and one white, like scars on the world, started from the stage of the soul singer and ended where Xia Lin was, lingering for a long time.

Xia Lin's body instantly stiffened and remained motionless.

The next second, an X-shaped wound suddenly appeared on his chest.

【Cutting Fist (Racial Heritage Level): Active Skill. Uses the fist as a blade, greatly enhancing the destructive power of the punch. This skill has no cost and no cooldown.】

【Drought Demon Annihilation Slash (Racial Heritage Level): Active Skill. Upon activation, greatly increases your linear speed. If you make direct contact with the target, it will tear the target apart, inflicting damage with Drought Demon Fire and soul damage, severely impacting the enemy's body and soul! This skill requires charging, has no cost, and no cooldown.】

Two simple combat skills that are not level 12 core skills.

The Fist Demon and the Flame Demon suddenly appeared a hundred meters behind Xia Lin, their backs to Xia Lin and shoulder to shoulder, their fists lightly colliding.

"Man, a perfect combo!"

The soulful singer opened his mouth and howled wildly.

Let it burn!

Behind the Fist Demon and the Flame Demon, fire and blood light soared into the sky.

The wound split Xia Lin into four parts, and amidst the roaring red and white flames, Xia Lin was instantly burned to ashes!
"He's not dead."

The spirit-binding demon spoke up to remind them, but the fist demon and the flame demon turned to look at the burning ground in Xia Lin and shrugged.

"Of course he's not dead. It's not that simple. We all understand."

Overall, this battle was relatively easy for the five, including the Spirit Binding Immortal Venerable.

They did not regard Xia Lin as a formidable opponent and were relatively relaxed, but they still adhered to the principle of using all their strength even when hunting a rabbit.

"So, it's just a matter of killing again, or a few more times..."

The Fist Demon and the Flame Demon crouched down again, preparing to launch an attack.

At the spot where Xia Lin was burning ahead, his figure quickly appeared, as if he had come back to life from the dead!
Talent, forever!
Cost: Base stats and base attributes will permanently drop by 30%.

Battle of Life and Death (Inferior): Converts the permanent negative effect of rebirth into a temporary effect.

The Book of Spirits, the hunger of the past resurfaces, devours all temporary negative effects.

The above combination enabled Xia Lin to be resurrected without any damage.

Of course, this makes no sense.

Any method of resurrection is merely a safety net; it's never a panacea for raising your potential—except, well, in life-or-death battles where there are no attribute caps…

This time, the five-person spirit-binding group changed their strategy.

The roar rang out again, and the red and white trails of fire reappeared!
Then, Fist Demon and Flame Demon each grabbed one of Xia Lin's hands and instantly dragged Xia Lin in front of the Spirit Binding Immortal!
With the help of allies, the Immortal Ghost Rope successfully wrapped around Xia Lin's body.

The Fist Demon and Flame Demon exerted their power again, like the Black and White Impermanence, and dragged Xia Lin toward Ghost Eye.

Upon contact, Ghost Eye immediately contained Xia Lin.

At this point, it can be declared that Xia Lin is doomed!
However, just after being incorporated into the Ghost Eye, Xia Lin suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

Light burst forth from his hand, and the power of absolute balance began to flicker.

Xia Lin's other core six-pillar technique is about to unleash its power, attracting the attention of the entire audience.

Therefore, no one noticed that in another direction—the place where Xia Lin had just burned—a figure flashed by and entered another space.

The Spirit Book's power: Call of the Past. Summons an identical clone possessing all of Xia Lin's skills.

And I am above all laws and the heavens.

Use a fake body to distract the enemy.

However, his true form had already entered the realm beyond the boundary and arrived deep within the celestial palace.

Standing before the jade bed, Xia Lin reached out and pulled out several strands of divinely bestowed transcendent power and more than three thousand strands of Six Pillars power, which he then pressed onto Scarlett's forehead.

The energy instantly flowed into Scarlett's body.

Xia Lin slowly withdrew his hand and spoke calmly.

"Hey, get up and kill someone."
