Suddenly, Lu Yan opened his eyes, a brilliant glint flashing in them.

A surging, powerful mental storm erupted from his body in an instant, covering the entire fighting arena like an invisible tsunami.

Wherever it passed, the air trembled slightly, and even the pebbles on the ground seemed to float in the air.

Caught off guard, everyone was affected by this mental storm, and they all felt a strong sense of suppression, their breath became sluggish, and they even had the illusion that they had been completely seen through and had no secrets left.

However, this violent mental storm did not continue to spread. In an instant, it surged back like a tide, following an invisible trajectory, and poured into the secret manual floating above Lu Yan's head.

As the spiritual power was poured into the book, its light became increasingly solid. The originally illusory pages became thick and ancient at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pages flipped rapidly with a rustling sound, and with a flickering light, five more blank pages were unlocked.

The secret runes that had long been recorded in the codex were also constantly circulating and reorganizing under the nourishment of spiritual power, being quietly improved and optimized, with their power and release speed surpassing those of the past.

A moment later, the mental storm subsided completely, and the secret magic book gradually returned to calm. The pages slowly closed, and instead of dissipating as usual, it quietly floated beside Lu Yan, emitting a faint, ancient aura, and felt real to the touch.

It has become fully materialized, becoming a unique artifact that belongs exclusively to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, lightly touching the magic book with his fingertips, and clearly felt the profound power it transmitted.

"And this random amplification—"

Lu Yan looked up at the two red-clad Grim Reapers who had been drawn by his mental storm, and a thought crossed his mind.

Four dark green chains suddenly shot out from the arcane grimoire, carrying a chilling aura of devouring, instantly binding the two illusory figures tightly.

Secret Technique: Life Suction!

Amplification - Multicast (Part 4)!

In just a few breaths, the dark green chains began to devour the flesh and life force within the red-clad Grim Reaper's body. The two phantom figures thinned at a visible speed, eventually dissipating into wisps of black mist.

The Arcane Codex not only underwent a materialization transformation but also enhanced the power of arcane arts. The randomly triggered multiple spell-casting amplifications were particularly eye-catching to Lu Yan.

"It's a pity we can't control the amplification effect ourselves, otherwise our combat power could have reached another level."

Lu Yan felt a little regretful, and his gaze immediately fell on the remaining black mist.

This black aura was similar to the power of the evil god that remained when he killed the messenger of the evil god, but it had a faint trace of intelligence. With his keen mental power, he clearly detected the blood sacrifice mark contained in the black aura.

"So that's how it is. This red-clad Grim Reaper is essentially a 'living' blood sacrifice."

Lu Yan suddenly realized that unlike traditional blood sacrifices which require setting up fixed formations, these red-clad death gods could travel independently and collect flesh, blood, and souls, essentially serving as mobile blood sacrifice vessels.

However, if they are allowed to multiply unchecked, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lu Yan activated the Dragon King's Eye, instantly covering the entire floating island and the Primordial Sanctuary, where he saw the figures of red-clad Grim Reapers everywhere.

What alarmed him even more was that these phantoms would merge on their own after meeting, coalescing into a giant death god with even greater combat power.

It is conceivable that the moment all the red-clad Grim Reapers completely gather will be the moment when the blood sacrifice ritual of the descent of the Evil God officially begins.

Wan Zhuliu also sensed the crisis.

The moment the Death Saints initiated their self-sacrifice, Wan Zhuliu could no longer contain himself and led a group of elite investigators to swiftly eliminate the Red-Clad Death God.

Just then, the Five Elders appeared with a group of superhumans dressed in Mu Yun uniforms. They quickly spread out to various corners of the shelter and joined forces to kill the Red-Clad Death God.

The Five Elders of Muyun finally got the opportunity they wanted.

However, human strength has its limits, and even someone as powerful as Wan Zhuliu cannot take care of every corner of the shelter.

"One person alone cannot kill them all."

Looking at the flustered crowd around him, Lu Yan flashed with white light, and the Wizarding Realm quietly opened.

At the same time, he repeatedly activated Life Suction, and dozens of dark green chains appeared out of thin air.

Chains can be thick or thin, due to varying degrees of amplification, and turning them into tools is a new ability in the wizarding world.

The wizarding world can transform analyzed objects into magical tools, and magic itself is derived from analyzing all things, transforming them into usable tools is a natural process.

"Please distribute these chains. The more believers who can use them, the faster the extermination will be."

Under the curious gaze of Yin Shuo and his group, the chains that were originally half-illusory and half-real instantly solidified and landed steadily in their hands.

Everyone was astonished. Although they had seen powerful beings who could create extraordinary items, they had never seen anyone who could directly transform their secret techniques into distributable items.

It can only be said that Lu Yan has gone further and further down the path of being "inhuman".

Without much hesitation, the group picked up several chains and scattered.

They all knew that once the blood sacrifice ritual was completed, the evil god would descend, bringing devastating destruction.

"Lu Yan, aren't you planning to come along?"

Xiao Yiren saw through his thoughts and asked softly.

"There are too many, and my help will have limited effect."

Lu Yan shrugged, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic fighting arena and landing in the direction of the Divine Tree Palace.

At this moment, Xue Jiansheng and Xue Hanyi were fighting four saints together. Although it was two against four, the father and daughter cooperated well and were in perfect harmony in both offense and defense, and were not at a disadvantage at all.

On the contrary, the four saints were full of concerns and loopholes in their cooperation.

Lu Yan understood that the self-sacrifice just now was clearly not part of the other three saints' plan.

When people are not united, that is the best opportunity to win over the saints.

However, before leaving, Lu Yan still performed a divination using his fingers.

This trip is extremely unlucky!

However, Lu Yan was not afraid of the result at all; on the contrary, he became interested.

It seems that the fourth requirement for actuaries to be promoted must be found here.

"Senior, I'm leaving this place to you."

"it is good."

Xiao Yiren did not try to stop her. The holy flames around her burned even more intensely, and she turned around and rushed towards the other red-clad Grim Reaper.

Meanwhile, inside the Divine Tree Palace.

Xue Hanyi's arrival put the four saints in a completely passive position, leaving them all in a sorry state.

Despite both being on the path of trial, the father and daughter took completely different routes.

Xue Jiansheng, using the Judgment Sequence 5: Punishment Knight as a foundation, deduced the path of pure and ultimate punishment.

Xue Hanyi went a step further, separating the abilities of Judgment Sequence 4: Law Master and forging her own unique Law Path.

These two paths, which seem to be branches of the trial process, have been forcibly turned into the core path by the father and daughter.

Although the road ahead is fraught with difficulties, it is the perfect fit for them, and the power they unleash far surpasses that of other strong individuals in the same rank.

This is why their combat strength cannot be judged by common sense; every move they make inflicts severe damage on the saints.

In just a short while, the four had suffered serious injuries, especially the flesh and blood saint at the very front, whose body was almost entirely torn apart!

If they can't come up with a solution, the four of them will probably perish here.

"Why hasn't the follow-up plan started yet? Death Saints, are the people you hired even reliable?"

The puppet saint, looking utterly disheveled, couldn't help but question him sharply.

But before he could finish speaking, he sensed the aura of the red-clad Grim Reaper. Immediately afterward, news of his followers being sacrificed was transmitted into his mind through the brand of the evil god.

"Self-sacrifice? Death Saint, what's wrong with you?!"

The Mountain of Flesh Saints instantly flew into a rage, wishing they could strangle this madman on the spot. Originally, the group had agreed to collect blood offerings based on their own abilities; whoever gathered enough offerings to summon the Demon God first would claim the spoils.

But the actions of the Death Saints are clearly unethical; they would rather sacrifice their own followers than be the first to act!

He knew better than anyone that once he initiated the self-sacrifice, the power that the evil god used to brand believers could never be taken back.

Although the power of a single brand is weak, it adds up to a considerable loss.

If the plan succeeds, all will be well, but if it fails, the Death God will completely lose the power of these gods.

That's fine, since it wasn't their followers who died, nor their own evil spirits that suffered the loss.

The problem is, these red-clad death gods are also indiscriminately attacking their followers!

It should be noted that the evil god's mark on the bodies of those believers killed by the red-clad Grim Reaper will also be completely dissipated.

This is an absolutely insane act that harms others without benefiting oneself!

Not only the Mountain of Flesh Saint, but also the Shadow Serpent Saint and the Puppet Saint looked at the Death Saint with increasingly dangerous eyes.

Although the Death Saints' move was risky, it would give the Death God a decisive advantage in the summoning ritual.

If the Primordial Tree is indeed seized by the Death God, the god behind them will never let them off easily.

In an instant, the four-person alliance, which was already rife with their own ulterior motives, was on the verge of collapse.

Just then, Xue Jiansheng seized the moment when the four were distracted, and the three holy swords above his head suddenly merged into a giant holy sword that was pure white and wrapped in immense pressure. With the power to purify everything, it slashed down fiercely at the four.

At the same time, an ancient and simple legal code appeared above Xue Hanyi's head, from which golden decrees flew out, quickly binding the four saints' movements like shackles.

"Take care of your own lives first, then we can talk about anything else!"

Ignoring his companions' wrath, the Deathly Saint slashed his arm, scalding black blood gushing out as he chanted, "My God, grant me the power of authority!"

The next instant, the black blood condensed into a strange blood sphere in the air, from which a pure and terrifying divine power of death surged and entered the body of the Death Saint.

Immediately afterwards, many strange creatures he had cultivated over the years burst forth from his body and merged into the blood sphere.

Suddenly, the eerie and black blood rapidly merged and shaped, eventually transforming into a jet-black scythe exuding an aura of death, which landed steadily in the hands of the Death Saint.

Upon seeing the sickle, Xue Jiansheng and Xue Hanyi's expressions also turned serious.

Xue Jiansheng, who was already very close to Sequence 3, had an extremely solemn expression.

This scythe possesses true divine power!
