A World the World Ring.

Lin Yan, wearing crystal armor, the Green Line Devouring Worm wearing Mo Yun Battle Suit, and the Blood Hound as large as mountains, were all on the ground.

"Interesting, very interesting," Lin Yan said with a smile.

His expression turned somewhat strange. "Now that I think about it, the name 'Blood Hound' is quite dramatic."

"" usually refers to a kind of puppy for people to play with.

Blood Hound possess such astonishingly large bodies; at the Domain Lord level 9, their length is close to two thousand kilometers, and at the Immortal level, their divine bodies can even reach more than thirty thousand kilometers.

Normally, even the most powerful bloodlines, known as "Starry Sky Beast," only have a range of a few thousand kilometers, even at the Immortal level.

The reason this happens is that... big and small are ultimately relative concepts.

This Special Lifeform, born from the universe, originated in the "Nine Li Secret Realm," a Cosmic Secret Realm Nine Li Secret Realm a maximum diameter of nearly 3.7 million light-years. It contains some extremely powerful and Special Lifeform, making it very dangerous.

The most famous is the "Li Huo Mountain," Special Lifeform form made of rock.

This is a Special Lifeform with an extremely large divine body, ridiculously large, to the point that it is difficult to move on its own. The strongest Li Huo Mountain has a diameter of hundreds of millions of kilometers, and it is an existence at the level of the lord of the universe.

The Blood Hound's lair is located in the heart of the Nine Li Secret Realm, nestling on the Li Huo Mountain and guarding the Nine Li Secret Realm.

Lin Yan now has three bodies, each with a different consciousness carrier, but the soul and consciousness are the same.

As for the true Life Core — the Origin Core —it can instantly appear within the main body, the Green Line Devouring Worm, or the Xue Qiao Clone within a certain range.

"Collect!" The Blood Hound disappeared, leaving only Lin Yan and the Green Line Devouring Worm.

"Collect!" The Green Line Devouring Worm disappeared.

"Return!" Lin Yan also disappeared.

All three bodies entered the Void Space within the crystal core, leaving only a Transparent Crystal with 10081 facets outside. The surface of the crystal was covered with mysterious and unpredictable Law Secret Patterns, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Although each of the three bodies has its own carrier of consciousness, the Origin Core must be attached to one of the bodies. If it enters the Inner World, the Origin Core will appear in the outside world.

It's impossible to hide the Origin Core in a safe place; the only option is for a clone to carry the Origin Core to a safe place. Lin Yan once tried to see if a clone of the Green Line Devouring Worm could do this, but as he expected, it was not feasible.

Whoosh!

The ferocious beast covered in blood-red scales reappeared.

"Hold head high..."

It let out a low growl.

Buzzing, buzzing...

A sound came from inside the Blood Hound's body, as if its interior was a beehive, emitting a noisy buzzing of bees.

Suddenly--

"Boom!"

The buzzing sound reached its peak, and its body inexplicably decomposed at this moment, turning into the smallest particles. Each of these particles carried the Life Imprint of the Blood Hound, and its spirit and body were perfectly integrated.

Like the "Undying Body" of Immortal God.

This is the Blood Hound's first Talent Secret Method – "Flesh and Blood Derivation"!

Human Domain Lords condense Life Core, which stores Origin Crystal Ball and Psionic Crystal Ball. When World Master is established Origin Force and psychic force merge into one, becoming the "Origin Pearl." Ultimately, this breaks the shackles and achieves immortality.

The Golden Horn Beast is different; its Origin Crystal Ball is actually the horn on its forehead! From birth, it has been pouring almost all of its Origin Force into the horn.

Blood Hound, as Special Lifeform, are even more different.

They are specially favored by the Primordial Universe, making it easy for them to break through to immortality without any obstacles. They are born with Undying Body, and even if they are blasted into dust, their bodies can be reassembled. They don't have Origin Core at all.

Once one becomes immortal, compared to the "Undying Body" of other powerful beings, the divine body is much harder to destroy. In addition, the divine body is very large, making it extremely difficult to forcibly Annihilation.

Lin Yan carefully sensed the countless particles that the Blood Hound's body had transformed into, and felt it was incredibly magical. At this moment, he could feel all sorts of mysteries in the transformation of the physical body.

Thousand Transformations!

All the particles suddenly recombine, but not into their previous form; instead, they combine to form a Golden Horn Beast.

Its entire body is covered in Black Scale Armor, resembling a continuous Black Mountain Range.

His cold, dark gold eyes, each one as large as a lake, seemed like two dark gold suns staring down at him.

"Waaah!"

The "Golden Horn Beast" raised its head and let out a low roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

Whoosh!

"Is this what 'Thousand Transformations' means?"

Lin Yan emerged from the Void Space and looked up at the "Golden Horn Beast," his heart filled with shock.

He could clearly sense that the Golden Horn Beast in front of him was almost identical to Luo Feng's in terms of body structure, scales, wings, hooves, tail, and even the Golden Secret Patterns on the scales.

Even their life force was exactly the same.

"Even if Luo Feng saw this himself, he would be stunned!" Lin Yan said with a wry smile.

It's like looking in a mirror.

The scariest thing is...

After transforming into the Golden Horn Beast, Lin Yan clearly felt that the compatibility of this body with the Gold Law began to increase, while the compatibility with the Time Law began to decrease.

This left Lin Yan speechless.

Is this even possible?

By changing its form, it has actually affected the degree of conformity with the basic principles!

With a thought, the Golden Horn Beast transformed from the Blood Hound began to grow larger, reaching tens of thousands of kilometers in height, before shrinking back to only one meter tall, looking rather adorable.

With another transformation, it became Green Line Devouring Worm, lifelike, because this transformation was its own clone, and it was completely flawless.

The Blood Hound constantly transforms into willow trees, gold, mosquitoes, the Tai Sui Tree Spirit, sea fish, buildings, and so on. It can transform into anything with a physical form.

"This is far superior to the change characteristics of Energy-type Lifeform; it can already be called the ultimate 'camouflage' talent." Lin Yan lightly flicked the stone in his hand, and the stone immediately cracked. He picked up a small piece, gently squeezed it, and it turned into powder, which he then blew away with a breath.

When the physical body transforms into stone, it truly becomes stone, without any falsehood; this is the transformation between matter and matter.

Suddenly.

The stone and the scattered powder instantly transformed into countless primordial particles like dust, which eventually took shape and appeared as a handsome young man with black hair dressed in black, exactly like Lin Yan himself.

"It's even more amazing than I imagined," Lin Yan said with a smile.

"No wonder the 'Blood Hound' has Space-Time Talent. It is precisely because it has a high talent for time and space that it can affect its compatibility with the Origin Law when changing its physical structure."

"If I only have spatial talent, it's impossible for the Blood Hound to change its compatibility with the laws of light and time after transforming into myself."

Based on his research, he mastered some tricks.

First, you need to have a sufficient understanding of the changing matter. If you only know a name and what it looks like, then it's just a matter of appearance.

Secondly, it has Life Gene Level of 200 times, the strength of Domain Lord level 9, and can transform into E-grade metal, but cannot transform into F-Grade Metal.

If it were to become F-Grade Metal or Immortal God, it would just be an empty shell.

Secondly, after it transforms into the Golden Horn Beast, it no longer possesses the Golden Horn Beast's Talent Secret Method, and its strength is limited to the "10 times Life Gene Level".

Transforming into Green Line Devouring Worm can achieve a "200-fold Life Gene Level," because the Green Line Devouring Worm is already 200 times stronger before cultivating the Golden Framework and without activating the Beast God Power.

This does not mean that its power has disappeared, but rather that it cannot be used.

Just like Immortal God who is only two meters tall, he would never deliberately condense into a height of ten meters, or even a thousand meters or ten thousand meters. Although he could condense, it would greatly affect his strength. His original size is his strongest state.

The same principle applies to shrinking.

Of course, there are also many Divine Body Amplitude Secret Method, such as "The Myriad Manifestations," which all achieve amplification by shrinking and increasing density. This one is an exception.

The Blood Hound's "Thousand Transformations" talent is ultimately a disguise talent, not a combat talent.

Their strongest state is their original size. It can only be said that because of this talent, their strength will not be affected by changing their size.

Lin Yan pondered, "However... if it doesn't involve any deep changes, but only simulates the form and life force, then it's just a change in appearance. Neither talent nor the Life Gene Level will change."

"However, the fighting style will need to be adjusted as a result, and the extent to which it will affect strength is uncertain."

The universe is home to billions of life forms, each with its own unique fighting style.

Considering that Lin Yan's "Blood Hound" is an avatar, it is somewhat special. If it is simulated into a human form or Green Line Devouring Worm, it can easily adapt to this form and use the secret techniques that Lin Yan has cultivated.

If it were to become Plant Lifeform, Rock-type Lifeform, or even its own form, it would be impossible to do so.

After all, it's not determined by talent, but by practice.

So... this kind of talent isn't meant for combat. Although it's incredibly powerful, it still has its limitations.

Lin Yan didn't care about this. In fact, he didn't value the Blood Hound's combat ability at all. With the Green Line Devouring Worm and his own true form, there was no need to pursue other forms of combat, including the Blood Hound's own form.

This requires a lot of effort and is not very meaningful; it's putting the cart before the horse.

He chose "Blood Hound" because he valued its support capabilities the most.

The Space-Time Talent is very helpful for cultivating the "Universe Chaos Stele". Thousand Transformations and may have a miraculous effect at critical moments. It is a very good talent for survival.

It is mainly used to assist in analyzing the Life Structure, cultivating the "Golden Framework", and improving the Life Gene Level.

If a real battle is needed, I can directly simulate Lin Yan's form, Life Gene will be even stronger. Once I've also cultivated the "Black Hole Sacred Body," I'll be even stronger than Lin Yan himself.

Lin Yan looked at the clone in front of him that looked exactly like him, and a Six-Pointed Star- shaped metal piece immediately appeared in his hand.

It is Inheritance Item of the Sacrifice Secret Pattern of the "Yan Ji Tribe".

Because only the life force of the Yan Ji Tribe can be used to establish a bond, the inherited information has not yet been obtained.

Whoosh!

The metal piece flew from Lin Yan's hand and flew directly towards Lin Yan in black. At the same time, Lin Yan's aura changed, simulating the life aura of a member of the Yan Ji Tribe.

Different life forms possess different auras, and different ethnic groups also have different auras.

Although humans have different auras, the auras of the entire human race are quite similar, belonging to the same type.

The auras of "humans" and "Zerg" are worlds apart, and the aura of life is something that cannot be imitated at all, except for the "Talent Secret Method" possessed by a very, very few unique races in the universe.

What is Talent Secret Method?

Talent Secret Method are special abilities directly bestowed by the universe. Some, like "teleportation," can be acquired through cultivation, but many others cannot be acquired through cultivation at all.

The aura of life can usually only be remembered by seeing it with one's own eyes, or there is a "Virtual Universe" to simulate that aura so that people can sense it.

Lin Yan had never met any members of the Yan Ji Tribe, yet he was able to simulate their life force, which he could only achieve by using the "Virtual Universe" to sense them.

Lin Yan, dressed in black, manipulated his mental power, continuously penetrating inwards. He couldn't even recognize the material of the metal sheet, and he broke through the internal obstacles layer by layer.

Suddenly--

"Boom..."

"My child." A majestic yet gentle voice echoed in Lin Yan's mind, speaking the language of the Yan Ji Tribe. Instantly, Lin Yan's consciousness was drawn into the illusion contained within that voice...

With Lin Yan's willpower, he could have easily shattered that illusion, but he did not do so.

Because of his strong will, he was still able to maintain a connection with Lin Yan's true form, and it did not have any impact on the true form.

One illusion after another is born.

It was revealing the history of the Yan Ji Tribe to Lin Yan, recording the Yan Ji Tribe's past glory like a scroll painting, deeply moving, and even carrying the ability of "psychic suggestion," making people feel a sense of mission to "revive the Yan Ji Tribe."

It is also a test; if one's willpower is not strong enough, one may become trapped in the illusion and be unable to wake up.

He had learned about this through the system information and was already mentally prepared.

After all, the powerful members of the Yan Ji Tribe who left behind the Inheritance Item did not want this skill to fall into the hands of an incompetent and immoral descendant.

Lin Yan believed himself to be talented and virtuous, but unfortunately, this "junior" was a forgery.

Moment.

Lin Yan, dressed in black, sighed softly.

In the outside world, it was only a moment, but in that illusion, he had remained for tens of thousands of years.

Yes.

Tens of thousands of years!

In that illusion, he did nothing and could do nothing, but he witnessed the rise and fall of a race, the various aspects of which were truly lamentable.

Even if it shines brightly, once destroyed, all that remains is scattered dust.

Eternal Existence —how easy is that?

At this moment, Lin Yan's heart became even more resolute. He did not feel lost because of this, but only more clear-headed.

Suddenly--

The mental energy within the metal sheet was drawn deeper and deeper, and an immense amount of information merged with the mental energy, instantly surging into Lin Yan's soul.

"Boom!"

The vast and ancient knowledge accumulated by generations of powerful Yan Ji Tribe, the foundation and most precious wealth of the clan, was thus fully displayed before Lin Yan.

The sheer volume of information caused Lin Yan, dressed in black, to momentarily cease thinking; his eyes slowly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Lin Yan was startled and both he and the Green Line Devouring Worm closed their eyes, their consciousness completely entering Lin Yan's body in black. They felt as if they were completely overwhelmed by knowledge and information at this moment.

There are no cultivation secrets of the Yan Ji Tribe here. Those things are only suitable for the Yan Ji Tribe's physical structure and are of no value to Lin Yan.

All that remains are the inheritance of countless "Sacrifice Secret Pattern".

"No wonder there is such a test of illusion... If one's consciousness is not strong enough, one may even be crushed by this massive amount of information!" Lin Yan couldn't help but be shocked.

A constant stream of vivid and detailed information flooded in, like watching a movie; a vast amount of knowledge poured into my mind in a flash.

Endless!

This was the culmination of a clan's accumulated knowledge of the path of "Sacrifice Secret Pattern," and now, it all surged into Lin Yan's soul.

Some of these Law Secret Patterns diagrams are composed of billions of Law Threads intertwined and intersecting. A single Secret Pattern Diagram gave Lin Yan an even more shocking feeling than Peak Secret Technique; it was incredibly complex, precise, and unfathomable.

If other human World Master were to bear this information, their souls would quickly shatter due to reaching their limits.

In an instant, Lin Yan entered the state of "Unity of Heaven and Man," unable to think much at all. He continuously received the knowledge that surged in like a tidal wave, and all sorts of Law Secret Patterns flashed by before completely merging into Lin Yan's soul.

Long time!

One day! Two days! Three days!

Twelve days later, Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of weariness in them.

He exclaimed, "With my current soul's capacity to withstand it, it took me a full twelve days to fully absorb the knowledge of these 'Sacrifice Secret Pattern,' which is truly terrifying."

Lin Yan summarized it all and finally understood how prosperous the Yan Ji Tribe had become regarding "Sacrifice Secret Pattern".

"It's unbelievable that I could find such an opportunity in the Garbage Star Domain." Lin Yan found it hard to believe that he had such good luck.

This metal plate is the means by which the Yan Ji Tribe passes on their knowledge of "Sacrifice Secret Pattern." He has now obtained this knowledge, but he still needs to study and comprehend it carefully in order to master it.

Lin Yan rubbed his temples. "It feels like there's so much more to learn..."

"These Sacrifice Secret Pattern and powerful, and they are indeed a new path, but for now, we should focus on Law Comprehension and not get too complicated. We can talk about it later." He shook his head.

Lin Yan doesn't plan to spend much energy on this right now. He's not even touching the Mu Kong Fusion Law or the Time Fusion Law yet, because he wants to focus on cultivating the "Universe Chaos Stele" first.

Once his Law Comprehension reaches a bottleneck, his strength will likely be considerable, and his vision will be far-reaching. Only then will he be able to achieve a comprehensive understanding when studying other things.

If you learn too much now, you'll be a jack of all trades and master of none, and a lot of your efforts will be wasted.

He has now discerned some secrets about the "Sacrifice Secret Pattern," but he is not entirely certain yet. He plans to wait until he becomes stronger and is at least absolutely certain that he will be rewarded with a "Supreme Treasure" before handing it over to the Chaos City Lord.

The extinction of the Yan Ji Tribe is also related to the human race. The Chaos City Lord should know some of the Inside story, and he will find out when the time comes.

He wasn't planning to take it out now.

Such a treasure is extremely rare and hard to come by. This is the best opportunity for Lin Yan to obtain a priceless Supreme Treasure, so he should remain calm for the time being.

Lin Yan made a decision.

Then he looked at the "black-clad Lin Yan" who had transformed into Blood Hound in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

Whoosh!

A crystalline armor detached from Lin Yan's body, transforming into a stream of light that flew directly towards Lin Yan in black.

Lin Yan looked at the figure in front of him, which was exactly the same as before, and nodded in satisfaction. He himself was now dressed in a magnificent white robe, which looked quite elegant.

"The Xue Qiao Clone will go directly to Chaos City in a while. Chaos City is definitely the safest place. All you need to do is study it carefully. Give the Konota Tree Spirit to the Xue Qiao Clone as well. In a few decades, it will be able to enter immortality and carry the coordinate tokens of the Tai Sui Tree Spirit and the Mo Yun Vine."

"Hun An is possessing my body, and the Tai Sui Tree Spirit is also on me, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Lin Yan made some simple arrangements.

After the Xue Qiao Clone goes to Chaos City, it will not leave until it reaches the World Lord level.

During this time, Lin Yan will likely remain in the Milky Way Galaxy. Only the Green Line Devouring Worm will risk its life. Considering the possibility of unforeseen events with the Green Line Devouring Worm, it would be inconvenient to keep the Origin Core on the Blood Hound, so it will be kept with Lin Yan himself.

And just to be on the safe side, the Green Line Devouring Worm will go back with Lin Yan this time to thoroughly explore the area around the Solar System with the detection instruments, and the Xue Qiao Clone will also stay on Canglan Star for a while.

After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. Let's wait until we're sure everything is normal before making any decisions.

Lin Yan looked up at the sky.

The azure sky was as pure as celadon, and the land beneath my feet was vast and boundless, stretching to the ends of the earth.

He thought to himself.

More than two hundred years have passed, what changes will the Earth undergo?

"It's time to go back and take a look," Lin Yan said quietly.
