My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 448 Muddy the Water
Let's put our worries aside for now.

At the very least, Scarlett's promotion is definitely a good thing, and we can also look forward to the "legacy" of the Blue Witch and the other three.

Xia Lin originally thought that the four Blue Witches had been cut to ashes and there would be no remnants or spoils of war.

Scarlett stepped forward once again.

"I've packed everything."

As she said this, she waved her hand, and countless props, skill orbs, scattered divine transcendence power and the power of the six pillars appeared before Xia Lin.

After finishing the task, Scarlett smiled at Xia Lin and said, "This is very simple for the Heavenly Dao Equation."

That's right, the Heavenly Dao Equation can indeed do that.

Not only can it kill people, but after killing them, it can also leave behind everything that should be left behind.

After speaking, Scarlett looked at the Spirit Binding Immortal Venerable not far away and the formation structure of this place.

"However, I guess you can also realize that compared to these gains, the spirit binding and this place are the real prizes."

Xia Lin nodded gently: "That's true."

……

There's really no need to waste time describing the legacy of the Blue Witch and others.

As former subordinates of the Creator of Heaven, these people are far more powerful than the Five Kings of the Black Domain, but due to their limited strength, their power is still limited.

We won't discuss items and consumables below the sixth pillar level.

The total number of items obtained from the six-pillar level is eight: the Blue Witch's gloves, the Fist Demon's gauntlets and armor, the Soul Singer's four musical instruments, and the jade pendant carried by Yanba.

The effect seems to be custom-made, as it can be paired with the level 12 core skills of all four characters to enhance the power of the skills.

However, in Xia Lin's eyes, these kinds of props seemed somewhat useless.

"There's no need to break them down into six pillars of power. They're not worth much anyway, and I can actually use them."

Scarlett made the arrangements.

Her core combat power lies in the Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Dao Equation, but her foundational system is the Myriad Treasures System of Spiritual Treasures.

Scarlett can amplify the power of any item that falls into her hands—not just magical artifacts.

Even if things don't go well, Scarlett can still reforge the treasure; her weapon-forging skills are not just for show.

Xia Lin nodded, and Scarlett put away the props upon seeing this, then summoned the skill orb and the power of the Heavenly Gift and the Six Pillars.

"I'll leave those to you."

The skills of the four Blue Witches can be broken down into the power of the Six Pillars and the power of divine transcendence, and the number of them is not small—according to Scarlett's assessment, they can be pieced together into more than 1800 strands of the power of the Six Pillars.

These are the essence of the four students' entire lives at level twelve.

Xia Lin simply shook her head: "Don't tear it down yet, let's keep it."

The quantity seems large, but it doesn't match Xia Lin's ambition.

Not to mention that Xia Lin has a faster and more powerful way to collect the power of the six pillars in this place, so he probably doesn't need to accumulate the power of the six pillars by dismantling skills. Of course, Xia Lin can't say for sure, so he can leave it for now and dismantle it when needed.

After hearing this, Scarlett waved her hand again, putting away the skill orbs and the scattered Heavenly Gift and Six Pillars Power, and finally looked at the Binding Spirit Immortal.

As Scarlett's eyes lit up, the Bound Spirit Immortal suddenly looked up at Scarlett like an obedient puppy, tilting his head in a squatting position, revealing a submissive appearance.

This is the power of the Lord of the Immortal Path.

This skill seems powerful, but it is actually very demanding on the user.

In the logic of this skill, high-level cultivators can easily suppress and control low-level cultivators. When placed on the creator of the Heavenly Dao, it is naturally invincible and can kill gods and demons.

A cultivator at the Six Pillars level—only one like him exists in the main universe!
However, if they are of the same level, this skill can only provide partial suppression and cannot reach the theoretical limit of deciding life or death with a single word.

"But it works perfectly fine on the current Soul Binding Immortal Venerable."

The spirit is already in this state; whether it has the Immortal Lord skill or not, it's just a piece of trash that can be easily manipulated. The Immortal Lord skill at most just speeds up the control process.

Xia Lin watched as the Bound Spirit Immortal crawled to his side on all fours, then obediently squatted down, and Scarlett's voice rang in his ears again.

“You gave me the memories and knowledge of the spirit-binding before, and I learned a lot from his memories.”

"For example, what they are preparing to do right now, and the secrets of this place."

"Come on, time is of the essence, let's talk as we walk."

After saying that, Scarlett led the way into the depths of the dimension, with Xia Lin following closely behind.

……

"First of all, the Fuling group has indeed turned against them and no longer belongs to Wang Lao Er's gang."

"But in the memories of the bound spirit, his sense of self-alignment was quite confused. On one hand, he felt that he was still the creator of the Heavenly Dao, but on the other hand, he was loyal to a person named 'Shen Yuan'... They seemed to think that this Shen Yuan was an incarnation of the creator of the Heavenly Dao, and that he was someone worthy of their loyalty."

Without Scarlett needing to explain further, Xia Lin immediately recognized the homophony between the two characters "Shen Yuan".

The abyss...

The Primordial Abyss, home to the infamous Level 12 evil god.

At this point, Scarlett looked puzzled: "This is strange. I'm wondering what method the Abyss used to confuse their perceptions to this extent. This is not normal human perception at all..."

"This is the power of the dark side of the universe."

Xia Lin briefly explained the function of the dark side of the universe, which surprised Scarlett. After a moment of reflection, Scarlett continued, "So the dark side symbol of this group of people has been manipulated, causing their cognition to be modified and distorted. That makes sense."

He continued, "The task the Abyss gave them was to tamper with the defensive array outside this peerless array."

The great array covering the deepest part of the bottomless abyss, outside the giant's eye, has two layers.

The core layer is an unparalleled array dominated by the Sage Immortal Venerable. Its effect is to temporarily suppress the power of the six pillars gushing out from the Giant's Eye, thus giving the important figures time to go deeper.

The outer layer is a defensive array dominated by the Immortal Venerable of Binding Spirit. Its effect is to resist external enemies and conceal the aura of the peerless array, confusing external enemies about the time when the array was formed.

"But with array formations, a slight change to the array nodes can completely change the function of the finished product."

"The array set up by the spirit binding looks convincing, but with just one blood sacrifice and a slight modification, it can achieve a different effect: the outer array will reverse and blast through the inner peerless array, thus destroying Wang Lao Er's plan."

After a brief moment of thought, Xia Lin concluded: "So, it just means ruining other people's plans?"

"But it is indeed a way to harm others and benefit oneself."

In the real world, these people are tied up, giving the original ruling side in the dark dimension more time and more room to maneuver.

These evil god-transformers are the real troublemakers in reality.

Their rampages slowed down the progress of the real dimension, which naturally benefited the dark dimension.

The only thing that left Xia Lin speechless was Wang Lao Er and his group's actions.

Xia Lin pointed at Immortal Venerable Binding Spirit: "The mastermind of the outer array has been controlled. As for the mastermind of the peerless array, Immortal Venerable Saint Confucian, I don't know if he has been controlled... But no matter what, it's a bit unreasonable for you to hand over something so important to outsiders, isn't it?"

Scarlett shook her head and said solemnly, "The immortal array is indeed useful, and the energy of those evil god converts may have exceeded Wang Yanhai's and the others' expectations."

“There is a strict review mechanism in this process, but according to the memories of the Bound Spirit, all the reviewers in this process have been bribed.”

After saying that, Scarlett looked at Xia Lin: "The changes that have occurred in the Dark Dimension are probably far more than you have seen with your own eyes. Much more."

Xia Lin pondered briefly, then suddenly spoke.

"Then we really don't have much time left."

As mentioned before, the dark side symbolism of the four Blue Witches was hidden.

In reality, the four Blue Witches are dead, and their dark symbolism will inevitably change accordingly!

Even if these evil god converts might not know how they died or who killed them, they would most likely know that something must have gone wrong at the core of the outer array.

The real trouble may be on its way.

They've even arrived!
A deafening roar suddenly erupted in the sky above.

Xia Lin and Scarlett looked up at the same time and saw an enormous black hole suddenly appear in the void outside. A ferocious demonic claw, wrapped in monstrous demonic energy, fiercely grabbed at the outer array!

The sharp fingernails, carrying the power to destroy the rules, swiftly tore a crack in the dimensional barrier.

Through the energy shockwave and the spatial ripples emanating from the black hole, Xia Lin clearly saw on the other side of the black hole an unparalleled demon holding a scepter, sitting high on a throne, making a grappling motion with one hand, and a cruel smile playing on its lips.

Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!

The aura already revealed the true identity of the newcomer: an evil god, the primordial abyss, in a transformed form!
"Let me see who's ruining my plans!"

The chaotic, powerful sound pierced through the barrier between the two worlds, clearly exploding in Xia Lin and Scarlett's ears.

Xia Lin felt as if steel needles were piercing his skull, and his brain was throbbing with pain.

This also clearly demonstrates the current strength of the Abyss God: undoubtedly a top-tier level 12!

Xia Lin decisively took a half step back, while Scarlett took a step forward.

The Heavenly Palace reappeared from the celestial soul, quickly transforming into armor that enveloped Scarlett.

The light of the Heavenly Dao Equation began to explode!
Having just finished defeating the Blue Witch and her allies, the Abyss God appeared uninvited.

The series of boss battles has already begun to show signs of coming, but Scarlett remains fearless.

Until a dense blue light exploded from the horizon, instantly sweeping across the black hole that had expanded outwards.

The surging energy triggered a void storm, even tearing Xia Lin's vision apart, causing him to lean back and bloodstains to stream down his eyes.

When vision cleared again, the Abyss God who had been showing off had vanished, leaving only its hideous and enormous claws detached from its body, splattering black blood, and falling desolately toward the Giant's Eye, where it was instantly burned to ashes by the surging power of the six pillars!

Xia Lin was momentarily at a loss...

"Who did it?"

Scarlett pointed to the distant view of the magnificent flagship that was turning its cannons around.

"It's midnight."

"Wang Yanhai's car."

Chaos has already begun in the outside world.

The eight sons of the Wang family were intertwined, fighting fiercely without distinguishing friend from foe.

But that idiot Abyss God of Evil caused such a commotion, displaying his peak level twelve strength.

How could Wang Yanhai not give him a good beating and teach him a lesson?

Who do you think you are to dare show your face in this place?!
The second boss battle, which was about to erupt, was nipped in the bud by Wang Lao Er's single shot.

Xia Lin was about to turn around and tell Scarlett to immediately begin modifying the outer array when he saw Scarlett's brows furrow as she looked at the rift that had just been torn open by the Abyss God.

"There's something else..."

A drop of residual demonic blood fell from the sky, crashing to the ground like a meteorite.

The demonic blood immediately spread upon touching the ground, transforming into a massive black hole with a diameter of 100 meters.

The demonic sound emanated from it, like the low growl of a ferocious beast.

Before Scarlett could make a move, a slender arm suddenly emerged from the edge of the black hole. It grabbed the edge and pulled hard, pulling itself out of the hole and standing in front of Xia Lin and Scarlett.

It is entirely black, with slender limbs and an extremely large belly.

Its face has no facial features, only a huge mouth that spans the entire head.

Behind it, the black hole rapidly contracted and vanished instantly. The monster stared at Xia Lin and Scarlett, made a swallowing sound with a hiss, and said with a laugh.

"Who do I think it is?"

"Isn't this Brother Xia Lin?"

"It's great to see you again..."

The original hunger has come knocking!

And it seems that he saw Xia Lin's true identity in Scarlett.

Before Xia Lin could respond, Primal Hunger had already taken a step forward, its momentum suddenly expanding!

Large and small black vortexes appeared out of thin air around it, and then quickly transformed. In the blink of an eye, these black vortexes had transformed into independent, floating fangs and teeth.

Its sharp teeth kept tearing and chewing, as if swallowing some mysterious substance in the air.

As Scarlett swallowed those teeth, her face gradually turned pale.

"He's tearing at my Dao Integration Domain!"

In the third stage state, the entire current dimension has been incorporated into Scarlett's Dao Realm.

This place is undoubtedly Scarlett's home turf!

However, as hunger made its move, Scarlett found that her home turf was crumbling—even with the support of the Heavenly Dao Equation!

Of course, it cannot be said that hunger can easily overturn Scarlett's current Dao realm and turn the passive situation into the active one.

But this does prove that hunger has the power to contend with, or even defeat, Scarlett in her third phase.

This is a truly formidable enemy!
Moreover, the strengths of these evil god-transformers do not lie in their actual combat abilities.

When hunger took its second step, he laughed at himself.

"Oh, I've found you...you're in big trouble now."

Scarlett was a little confused by this, but Xia Lin's expression changed.

"Found" clearly refers to finding within the dark dimension!

If we meet in reality, we'll find our place in the shadows!

At this moment, Xia Lin still doesn't know in what form Scarlett's dark side symbolizes: is it a part of herself? Or an independent individual?

But clearly, hunger's power in the shadows is far greater than Xia Lin's.

Xia Lin had this premonition in an instant.

In this battle, Scarlett is no match for hunger!

In reality, the two might be able to exchange blows, and only a fight will reveal who is stronger.

But once Hunger uses its two-pronged attack, Scarlett will be powerless to resist—Xia Lin knows all too well the strength of the two-pronged attack!
"In this case……"

Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Xia Lin suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air and made up his mind.

Perception spreads without bounds.

Using the connection between the contracts, Xia Lin instantly located his other "Servant".

One of the Five Kings of the Dark Realm: Barkley.

Ahead, Scarlett seemed to have sensed something was wrong and took the initiative to act.

The Heavenly Palace Sword, enveloped in dazzling light and shadow, unleashed even greater power than before!
This sword is so powerful that even hunger cannot ignore it.

His outwardly disproportionate body moved instantly, then rapidly distanced himself from Scarlett at a speed exceeding that of light.

Midway through, countless sharp teeth and fangs in the air rushed towards the sword light, tearing at it from the level of rules.

Sharp teeth are formless and intangible, a manifestation of a certain rule, and their biting is also similar to a rule, which can completely weaken Scarlett's sword light.

Hunger, too, begins to undergo a morphological transformation during the retreat process.

His abdominal cavity suddenly opened, and viscous yellow energy gushed out from it, quickly enveloping his entire body.

By the time the sword light, weakened by more than half, was about to strike, hunger had already completed its armor-breaking process.

He clasped his hands together and caught Scarlett's sword with his bare hands. He clamped the sword's remaining power onto his body, but the yellow energy stuck to it and quickly devoured and absorbed it.

Then, driven by hunger, he took a bite out of Scarlett's face!

Even though Scarlett has just reached level twelve, her temporary attributes are not low thanks to the support of the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Dao Equation, and her own skills.

With the Heavenly Palace Armor and Heavenly Palace Sword at her side, Scarlett's hand-to-hand combat ability is quite remarkable.

As the large mouth lunged to bite, Scarlett raised her leg and kicked, instantly dislocating the hungry man's jaw.

Hunger did not deter it; the yellow energy on its body transformed into a gigantic, ferocious beast that lunged once more!
The interplay of light and shadow is vividly presented.

A sword-wielding Valkyrie and a yellow-skinned monster engage in a fierce battle within a small space.

In the blink of an eye, there were countless exchanges, and the surging energy flowed outwards, causing Xia Lin's skin to begin to crack.

But Xia Lin could easily see this.

Scarlett gave it her all, though she still held back her hunger.

It's not that hunger preserved his strength, but rather that his strategic intentions were too reasonable—focusing on defense and counterattack, rather than seeking a decisive victory over Scarlett in the real world.

He placed his hopes for victory in the dark dimension.

Find Scarlett's symbol, kill her or brainwash her, and all the difficulties in reality will be solved!

The two-pronged coordinated tactic that Xia Lin had come up with after a bit of thought was more like instinct for hunger.

The scales of victory appear unmoved on the surface, but in reality, they begin to tip at a visible speed.

Xia Lin, in the dark dimension, also left the office and walked onto the street, but when he looked around with his sword drawn, he was confused, not knowing what Scarlett's symbol was or where it was.

In reality, just as Xia Lin was becoming increasingly anxious, a violent roar once again resounded in the sky.

This caused all three people present to look up. Hunger and Scarlett gasped, but Xia Lin's expression immediately relaxed.

Barclay once again performed a great service, quickly completing the task assigned by Xia Lin.

Beyond the sky, a giant warship named Zero Point traversed the void and instantly appeared outside this dimension.

The warship then rapidly blurred, penetrating dimensional barriers and array formations, and descended upon this place.

Eighty-eight main gun muzzles simultaneously emitted light, aimed at Hunger and Scarlett.

A powerful voice rang out from inside the warship, but its target was not Scarlett and Hunger, but Xia Lin in the distance.

"You asked for me, so I'm here."

"Now, explain why you've come."

It was Wang Yanhai's voice!

Hunger's face darkened, and he immediately broke free from Scarlett's grasp, fleeing quickly into the distance.

But then they saw countless golden gaseous dragons suddenly rise from the Zero Point!
The golden dragons roared and pressed down on the heavens and earth. Scarlett's Dao Integration Domain collapsed instantly, unable to withstand the pressure of these giant dragons—even though Wang Yanhai had not targeted her as his primary objective!

Wang Yanhai's voice then shifted: "And this... what are you anyway!?"

These evil god transformers were a novelty to Wang Yanhai.

So how could I possibly let you get away?
"Dragon's Decree: Detain him!"

With these five words spoken, heaven and earth submitted.

The golden dragon roared and traversed the void, appearing near Hunger. It transformed into a golden cage, sealing Hunger with the power to seal the heavens and the earth!
【Dragon's Decree (Six Pillars Level) (Level Twelve Core Skill): Active skill, exclusive skill for the Lord of All Armies. This skill is exclusive to Level Twelve and can be released after incorporating the power of divine transcendence, negating all enemy judgments!】
People's hearts gather the dragon's energy, and the dragon's energy determines rise and fall!
This skill is a more advanced application of dragon energy! You can manipulate your dragon energy to issue decrees! Once the decree is delivered, heaven and earth obey, and you are capable of capturing spirits and destroying enemies!

This skill has no cooldown; its effectiveness depends on the amount of dragon energy consumed!

The immense pressure struck. In the tiny golden cage, only a few square meters in size, hunger was no match for the tremendous force, and the person was forced to kneel down, completely at the mercy of the attacker!

He looked up at Xia Lin with a ferocious smile, activated his privileges in the Dark Dimension, and prepared to use the Dark Dimension as a transit point to escape the cage and leave this place.

—As holders of the Dark Dimension authority appointed by the Primordial Ruler, these Evil God Transformers can indeed accomplish this task using the Dark Dimension.

Their power in the shadows far surpasses that of Xia Lin.

However, when communicating with the darker side through thought, hunger's expression changed drastically.

Wang Yanhai's Dragon Qi Pardon also severed his connection with the dark side.

In fact, this was not something Wang Yanhai did intentionally.

However, his power was too great, and he was able to interfere with the connection between hunger and the dark dimension in the real dimension!
"Xia Lin!"

This time, hunger finally panicked.

However, you can't understand the thought process of these transmuters...

He neither begged for mercy nor vented his anger; he simply roared loudly, setting others on fire.

"You idiot, you brought Wang Yanhai here! Let me tell you, with him here, your Spirit World Book is doomed!"

"Do you know what the Spirit World Book is?! It's the key to the Six Pillars' power struggle! It's the dark side's node! It's the anchor point for the Lord's plan with the King of Kings!"

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

Inexplicably, Wang Yanhai's gaze shifted to Xia Lin's chest inside Zero Point.

The next second, everyone heard Wang Yanhai's soft laughter.

"Heh, interesting."

"It seems my old man has been hiding quite a few things from me..."

The golden dragon soared into the sky once more, locking onto Xia Lin.

With just one more Dragon's Decree, neither Xia Lin nor Scarlett will be able to escape!
Scarlett, who had just entered the level 12 realm, was indeed powerless in the face of a true level 12 expert.

The so-called "we have to give it a try" seems to be nothing more than the overestimation of one's abilities by a frog in a well.

At this moment, Xia Lin shrugged slightly and pointed to the outside world.

This caused everyone to look up and see that outside, the intense sound waves were constantly layered and resounding throughout the entire area.

"Do you know what the Spirit World Book is?! It's the key to the Six Pillars' power struggle! It's the dark side's node! It's the anchor point for the Lord's plan with the King of Kings!"

"Do you know what the Book of Spirits is?!"

"you know……"

Barclay trembled violently, terrified, yet like a parrot, he used all his strength to repeat the words of hunger he had just spoken.

This made Wang Yanhai chuckle.

"You kid..."

Xia Lin let out a soft sigh.

"I'm sorry, I was originally interested in cooperating... but you couldn't shut the hungry dog's mouth. So, in order to protect myself, I have to muddy the waters."

Just as Xia Lin uttered those words, even more streaks of light swept across the battlefield with unparalleled force.
