My health recovery is incredibly fast.

“We don’t have much time left, and you probably won’t be able to adapt slowly. I have to start the sacrifice now.” The man in the trench coat flew toward the giant ball of flesh. “Get ready. Once I’m absorbed into it, you’ll see what’s inside. The life force fluctuations caused by the sacrifice won’t escape Nukoalov’s perception. So you’d better disband your blood magic puppet as soon as you get the results.”

Xia Zuo found two image orbs, holding one in each hand, and also condensed two silver sand palms to draw spell images, striving to record the true situation as much as possible.

The man in the trench coat transformed into a blood mist, hovering around the large ball of flesh.

The large fleshy ball throbbed twice, like a sleeper forcibly awakened by the aroma of delicious food. A small fleshy bulge appeared on its black fur, and a crack slowly appeared on the bulge, sucking the blood mist into its body with a "slurp".

What's inside the big fleshy ball?

Endless flesh and bones? Filthy entrails? Wriggling mucous membranes?

No.

None of these exist.

Against a pitch-black background, a bright spot of light appears in the very center of the image.

Xia Zuo thought the man in the trench coat had cast a light spell.

The next second, he realized he was wrong.

In the blink of an eye, the point of light expanded into a colorful channel of light.

On the walls of the passage, nine different colored light bands are intertwined in a spiral pattern, extending into the depths of the light passage.

The man in the trench coat was moving through the tunnel of light, with spiraling bands of light flashing rapidly across his vision, causing a strong sense of dizziness.

Xia Zuo stared at the scene for only a short while before feeling as if he had been given a potent sedative. The man in the trench coat was in even worse shape; the scene in his view was rapidly darkening, and he looked like he was about to collapse.

Just as the screen went completely black, Xia Zuo, who had developed the good habit of "when in doubt, use the Detection Technique to clear the way," immediately released the Detection Technique at the Nine-Colored Passage.

【Name】Saguma's Eternal Obsession

[Alternative Name] The Energy Hub of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons

[Type] Dimensional Law Device

【characteristic】

1. Sands of Time Restrainer. This device can restrain the Sands of Time within a radius of 1000 kilometers to a specified spatial coordinate system. The restrained Sands of Time can only move within the restrained area around the specified spatial coordinates. The smaller the restrained area, the greater the energy consumption of the restrainer, and the stronger the effect of this device's characteristic 2.

2. Recoil Energy Harvester. This device can harvest the reaction force of the sand on the constraint force field when constraining time-space sand. The smaller the constraint interval, the stronger the recoil energy.

3. Energy Conversion Module. This device can convert the recoil energy of the Sands of Time into other forms of energy besides life force, faith, and spiritual energy.

4. Magic-blocking field generator. (Omitted; already described earlier)

5. Vitality Sacrifice. This device can accept vitality sacrifices. The life force of the sacrifice will temporarily enhance the strength of Traits 1 and 2. A sacrifice has been accepted. The enhancement effect lasted for 0.003 seconds and has ended.

【structure】

This device is woven together from nine energies in a specific ratio.

Nine energy ratios:

Life energy, 5/45

Faith energy, 4/45

Mind Energy, 2/45

Shadow Energy, 9/45

Fire energy, 3/45

Water-based energy, 6/45

Earth element energy, 7/45

Wind energy, 8/45

Light energy, 1/45

The weaving method for the nine energies is shown in the figure:

Faith energy, shadow energy, spiritual energy

Fire energy, life energy, earth energy

Wind energy, light energy, water energy

(The rest omitted)

Xia Zuo put the results of his investigation aside for now; it wasn't the time to ponder them carefully.

He glanced at the image orbs and spell images on the table.

Both recorded the scene in the light channel exactly as it appeared, and are constantly replaying the scene that Xia Zuo saw.

Now let's look at the perspective of the Blood Servant.

The man in the trench coat had lost contact, and the connection between the blood servants and him had been completely severed.

Just as the man in the trench coat had said, the commotion of offering sacrifices to the energy center was quickly noticed by Nukalofa, who was presiding over the ceremony.

The Blood Element Servant looked up, its gaze passing over the black hair of the energy center and shooting into the energy pipes directly above its head.

A dozen or so blood demons with dark red tails, along with a large group of all sorts of other demons, were flying along the energy pipeline.

Xia Zuo immediately dismissed the blood-element servant.

The message from the cheat system came to my mind:

"Host detected disbanding Blood Element Servants 42 to 46... Disbanding successful, returning Spirit attribute value and life force consumption."

"Phew~~" Xia Zuo leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief, finally putting his mind at ease.

Chapter 79 Reality and Illusion (2-in-1)

"Check on how the bald guy is doing..."

Xia Zuo brought up Rexor's perspective and reviewed the judgment results sent by the cheat system.

The bald man's Willpower attribute value has dropped below 200 points. It is estimated that in another 5 minutes, the Blood Element Servant will be able to convert him into a Bloodline.

The situation was similar with Serites; Xia Zuo estimated that he would become a blood relative with the bald man at the same time.

All that's left of the other infiltrators are their heads—except for the two spies, whom Xia Zuo ignored.

The Blood Element Servant enveloped the brains of the infiltrators, using its blood magic shell to isolate the brains from the shadow energy. At the same time, it consumed the alchemical dragon blood within the Blood Element Servant to continuously supply life force to the brains, ensuring they remained vibrant.

Xia Zuo shifted his attention to the image orb and the spell image on the desk.

The man in the trench coat gave four names, clearly indicating that these four were his contacts in the temple.

If Xia Zuo wants to hand over the image orb and the spell image in his hand, the recipient must be one of these four people.

Selena is currently the only viable option, as she is still healthy... However, she has already set off to search for the infiltrator team at the magic-free field, so it's uncertain whether it's still possible to contact her using the communication ring at this point...

Xia Zuo took out his secret message ring, just about to send a message to Selena, when there was a knock on the door of the alchemy room.

He opened the door and paused slightly, "Selena? I was just about to contact you."

“I have something urgent to discuss with you.” Selena looked nervous, her gaze falling on the desk in the room. After seeing the image orb, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. “It seems that intelligence agent 3889310’s mission was successful. I can rest assured now.”

Xia Zuo stepped aside and invited the other party into the house. "Come in and let's talk. We can take these things with us. To be honest, I didn't expect to run into an intelligence agent on a top-secret mission at the headquarters of the Otherworldly Demon Church."

As Selena took several metal boxes out of her alchemy pouch, she said:

"I still have to work with the rescue team later, so I'll keep it short."

"Just as you were asking intelligence officer 3889310 whether he was trustworthy, I unlocked a memory that is related to the images recorded in the Image Orb."

Selena picked up an image orb and carefully examined the image inside. With her magical skill, she could easily judge how exquisite the spiral of nine-colored light was.

"Xia Zuo, how different do you think the footage you recorded is from the actual scene?" Selena asked.

“I can guarantee that the accuracy is over 99%,” Xia Zuo replied confidently. “What you are seeing now is the interior of the energy center of the Church of the Otherworld. To accurately record this scene, I even removed the mind seals from the Blood Element Servants.”

"That's good." Selena nodded and put the image orb in her hand into the metal box. "I'll send these things to the Tower Scholars now. As long as they confirm that everything is correct, then Agent 3889310's mission will be considered a success. When the rewards are settled, I'll include your share."

"What about Rexor and the others' reward?" Xia Zuo asked.

“Yes, as long as they’re alive,” Selena asked. “How are they doing? Are they holding on?”

Xia Zuo said, "They won't die. I'll send them out once the rescue team reaches the outer perimeter of the magic-free field."

“Okay, I will personally come to meet you,” Selena said solemnly.

She put all the image orbs and magical images into the metal box.

Before she left in a hurry, Xia Zuo asked, "I learned about his background from intelligence agent 3889310; he's related to Sodik Black Flag. Should I accept the sealed memories?"

“No, it shouldn’t be necessary.” Selena shook her head, picking up the metal box. “It will only take two days at most for the Tower Scholars to prove that the magical principles recorded in the Image Orb are effective. They will disclose the mission details of intelligence agent 3889310 to the Two Halls Conference. At that time, all participants with top-secret clearance or higher will know the entire mission process. Sealing your memories now would be redundant.”

"Okay." Xia Zuo nodded, saw Selena to the door, closed the door, and sat back down at his desk.

In the short time the two of them had just chatted, the work of converting the Blood Element servants into Rexor and Sereth was nearing completion.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Xia Zuo received a message from the cheat system.

"The host is detected converting Rexor and Serites into blood relatives. Initiating the judgment... Judgment passed, conversion successful."

Two names immediately appeared on the spell template for the [Bloodline Scroll].

Since both Blood Elemental Minions used this time have Alchemy Dragon Blood within them, an additional entry has been added to the Rexor's Bloodline template to provide real-time feedback on the amount of Alchemy Dragon Blood in reserve.

Clearly, the storage space within the Blood Servant's body has changed; its spatial anchor point has shifted from the Blood Servant to its blood relative. However, control of the storage space remains with Xia Zuo, and Rexor and the other cannot use it.

This is a good unexpected discovery, meaning that Xia Zuo can still replenish the life force of his blood relatives by consuming alchemical dragon blood.

Xia Zuo immediately selected the two of them and used the body repair function that came with the [Bloodline Scroll] to help them recover completely.

This is not over yet.

The Blood Magic [Blood Magic Attack and Defense], which can be used within a magic-suppressing field, was also shared by Xia Zuo.

Inside the cave where Rexor is located.

The bald man with a mangled body opened his eyes and slowly sat up.
