Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

The intelligence from the Rainbow Cloud Clan was like a heavy stone thrown into the calm waters of the Eternal Alliance.

When Zhuge Duo presented the compiled information to Lin Xiao, even the usually composed Lin Xiao frowned.

"The Dark Eclipse Cult..."

Lin Xiao murmured the name, his gaze sweeping over every word in the intelligence report.

This intelligence is not entirely in text form; it also includes a mental image transmitted through the special means of the Rainbow Clan.

Lin Xiao focused his mind on it, and an unsettling scene immediately appeared before his eyes—

It was a wasteland shrouded in deep purple mist. There were no sun, moon, or stars in the sky, only dark clouds that twisted and writhed like living creatures.

The earth cracked, and a viscous black liquid seeped from the cracks, emanating an extremely strong corrosive odor.

And on this wasteland, there stood countless groups of people... innumerable numbers.

Lin Xiao saw a being that was over ten meters tall, covered in bone armor, and had two horns on its head, resembling a demon.

They saw a bizarre race suspended in mid-air, their bodies composed of countless eyeballs.

I saw a spider witch with a spider's lower body and a human-like upper body, holding a staff.

They saw an elemental creature that was completely transparent and had dark purple energy flowing through its body.

What's even more chilling is that, although these creatures vary in form and race, the image reflected in their eyes is remarkably consistent.

Hollow, fanatical, and upon closer inspection, their pupils bear the same symbol: a black ring pierced by three twisted arcs.

"That is the mark of darkness."

The voice of the Yunyin Clan Chief was transmitted through the video in some way, and it was clearly solemn.

"This is the mark of the Dark Eclipse Order. All beings who join the Order, regardless of their original race, stance, or strength, will be forcibly branded with this symbol and become 'Children of the Mist'!"

As Chief Yunyin spoke, he continued to rotate the images, showing the interior of the Dark Erosion Cult.

In the center of the wasteland stood a colossal altar constructed of black crystals and the skeletons of unidentified creatures, with an inextinguishable dark purple flame burning upon it.

Tens of thousands of beings of different races knelt around the altar, chanting prayers in a distorted and hoarse common language.

"We are born in the mist, and we will return to the mist..."

"All is vanity, only the mist is eternal..."

"Offer flesh and blood, offer souls, offer the world... to beg... for the descent of the God of Mist!"

Then the scene shifts to a sacrificial ceremony.

Several captured warriors, clearly from a small tribe, were brought up to the altar.

They struggled and screamed incessantly, but to no avail.

The dark purple flames on the altar suddenly shot up, transforming into several fire snakes that coiled around the captive's body.

The dark purple flames had no heat; instead, they emitted a bone-chilling cold.

The prisoners quickly withered and died in the flames, eventually turning into ashes.

Their life energy was absorbed by the flames and then fed back to the worshipping believers.

"This is... devouring the life essence of other living beings to directly increase strength?" Lin Xiao's eyes were icy cold.

"Is this how they promote members in the Dark Eclipse Cult?"

The scene continues, now showing the armed forces belonging to the Dark Erosion Order.

Squads of cultists, equipped with uniform black armor and wielding weapons engraved with runes, are training.

Their teamwork was so seamless that it seemed as if they came from different races.

Abyssal demons and spider witches stand side by side, while eye-shaped creatures and elemental beings are casting spells in unison.

What's even more unsettling is that the power they use is all of the same origin and nature—a dark purple energy with a strong corrosive quality.

"The power of the Dark Corrosion Rules".

Looking at the dark purple power, Yun Yin explained, "Based on our observations and intelligence gathering, this is an energy form that exponentially activates the characteristics of the mist itself."

"It possesses strong corrosive, erosive, and mind-controlling properties. Once affected by the power of the Dark Corrosion Rule, low-level beings will be transformed into puppets without self-awareness and only obeying the cult's commands within a short period of time."

"Even we fifth and sixth-tier members find it difficult to resist that kind of erosion and transformation!"

The current footage is showing this process.

A third-tier wolf-like creature was struck by the power of Dark Corrosion. Its body rapidly underwent a transformation: its fur fell out, its skin turned grayish-black, its eyes were filled with purple light, and corrosive saliva flowed from its mouth.

In just over ten seconds, it transformed into a monster that would only attack any creature that was not a member of the cult.

The final image focuses on three figures.

They stood at the highest point of the altar, looking down at the believers of various races below.

On the left is a humanoid creature nearly three meters tall, wearing a dark purple robe.

His face was obscured by the hood; only two points of eerie purple light could be seen.

His hands emerged from his sleeves; they were not normal flesh and blood hands, but rather hands formed from pure Dark Erosion Rule Power.

His five fingers were long and slender, with black droplets that could corrode space dripping from their tips.

This is Morag, the left vice-leader of the Dark Eclipse Cult branch.

To the right was a shadow that constantly shifted its form, sometimes transforming into a giant beast, sometimes into a human figure, and sometimes dissipating into mist.

The only constant is the pair of scarlet eyes in the shadows, whose gaze seems to devour even the light.

This is the Right Vice-Sect Leader of the Dark Erosion Order, "Shadow Eater" Vijaya.

Standing at the very center was a suit of jet-black armor.

A full suit of armor, entirely black, covered with spikes and twisted runes. The visor of the helmet was a deep darkness, impenetrable even to the naked eye.

The space around the armor was continuously and slightly distorted, as if it were a black hole that devoured everything.

There was no sign of life, no energy fluctuations, only a pure sense of existence, which was oppressing the spirit of every observer.

"This is the leader of the 77th branch of the Dark Eclipse Cult, 'The Faceless' Astros."

Yun Yin's voice became extremely serious:

"Our Rainbow Cloud Clan learned of the Dark Eclipse Cult hundreds of years ago; however, the Dark Eclipse Cult's first appearance can actually be traced back to millions of years ago!"

"However... back then, only the orthodox sects of the Dark Eclipse Cult were active! And that orthodox sect wasn't as strong as it is now!"

Suddenly, the three figures in the scene, the middle one of them seemed to glance in this direction, and then the scene inside the Dark Erosion Order disappeared.
