After escape into the shadow dimension (entering the Shadow Dimension), Yuan Zhu felt as free as a fish in water or a tiger returning to the mountains.

With each breath, 'spiritual energy' poured into his body endlessly. It was like the feeling of spending 10 yuan scanning a QR code, and then hearing a 'ding!' on his phone, notifying him of a 20.35 yuan deposit.

Regardless of how much he earned, the continuous 'ding ding ding!' of money arriving filled his ears, making him feel incredibly happy.

What's more, this wasn't just money, but the polluted spiritual energy recognized by the [Immortal Scripture]. He was experiencing the taste of passively growing stronger every moment. The upper limit of his Mana Value was soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this rate, I'll be...

"Little Elf, stop messing around, change the units back!"

Yuan Zhu suddenly realized, no wonder his mana bar was growing so fast! This wasn't ordinary mana regeneration, but breaking through his own mana limit!

It turned out that the Little Elf, in order to please (motivate) him, had set the units to the minimum value. For every unit of Shadow power he absorbed, the upper limit of his mana bar would extend by 1 micrometer, 1 nanometer. When she magnified it to a visible scale, it created a strange illusion.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before his combat power broke through 1 million, and he would think he was invincible. But then he looked up and thought, crap! He had transmigrated into a Du Ling and was ascending to the God Realm? The pollution value of a random NPC cleaning lady on the street started at 10,000. Experts with over a billion were everywhere, and ten trillion evil spirits were not as good as a dog. It turned out that the units were wrong.

In a world where the average person was 1.7 billion nanometers tall, he was explosively strong! Like a demon lord descending from the sky, like a Titan god on earth, raising his hand and foot to create and destroy endless nanometer-scale universes!

The Little Elf sincerely admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous. I didn't grasp the scale of this flattery, but I just wanted you to be more confident and proud. I like to see you radiant!"

The Tiger Demon's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and his whiskers trembled wildly.

The steady mentality of his human form quickly dissipated, replaced by the domineering confidence of the king of beasts: "Duck doesn't need it, my style has always been a combination of steadiness and confidence, I don't need this kind of trick to deceive myself. Watch closely, Call the Wind!"

The increasingly cheerful Tiger Demon, after being flattered by the Little Elf, couldn't help but want to show off. So, in the Shadow world, he activated the severely mutated unknown talent, [Call the Wind???].

His Mana Value was rapidly consumed, and Yuan Zhu realized that this divine power lacked a certain soul and charm? To be precise, it was missing the [Wind] that belonged exclusively to him. Therefore, the divine power remained in its basic mode, only able to exert the most ordinary destructive power. But even so, a strong wind still raged in the Shadow space around him.

Ordinary Shadow black mist stirred up gusts of Yin wind, coiling around him out of thin air, turning into tornadoes. The sharp wind blades continuously cut through the Shadow buildings and Shadow trees, easily slicing them apart.

With a thought, the Yin wind immediately switched from attack mode to absorption mode. The Yin wind tornado was like a giant vacuum cleaner, constantly extracting the Yellow Springs mist from the surroundings and pouring it into the Tiger Demon's mouth.

The closer he got to the Vajra Temple, the denser the Yellow Springs mist in the Shadow world became. A sense of fullness and coolness at the soul level came over him, and his [Chang Gui Divine Power] was about to be filled, and he couldn't digest it anymore.

He stopped [Call the Wind], and the consumed Mana Value quickly refilled. The Tiger Demon closed his eyes, carefully savoring the changes in his body. This continuous 'Yellow Springs Qi' merged into his body, causing his [Shadow Power] to undergo some qualitative changes, becoming more eerie and spiritual.

"This kind of change..."

It was as if from now on, every drop of Shadow power he refined would carry a trace of Yellow Springs attributes. His style was becoming more and more underworldly! "Congratulations, Great King, for becoming stronger again! You are one step closer to returning to your peak. Your current change is like a mobile phone system updating to version 1.1. You have installed the [Yellow Springs Death Qi Patch 1.0], optimized the bloodline database of the [Aberrant Spiritual Root] ([Chang Gui]), and upgraded the quality of Shadow power."

The Little Elf nodded, satisfied, "Simple and clear, I understand!"

At this moment, the Tiger Demon also stopped, solemnly raised his head, and looked ahead.

In the Shadow world, there was no projection of the Vajra Temple. In the Shadow space location of the Vajra Temple, a huge and solid temple foundation that looked like a whole was directly embedded in the upper part of the Shadow Dimension.

In other words, the base of the Vajra Temple that sank into the ground directly broke through space and appeared simultaneously in the soil of the Bubble World and above the Shadow world.

Not only that, but within the gaps of the stone-built foundation in the sky, there also grew strips of 'arms' of various sizes, lengths, and thicknesses, resembling both flesh and roots, waving wildly in the void, capturing something? The Tiger Demon focused his eyes and saw that it was the apricot-yellow Yellow Springs water vapor. Those arms, large and small, long and short, were waving and capturing the faint blue mist that had escaped into the Shadow Dimension. After absorbing it, they transformed it into Yellow Springs Death Qi polluted by Buddhist Dharma Power and released it again.

Just like the roots of plants, competing for water and nutrients in the soil, while secreting toxins to kill other competitors.

"This Vajra Temple doesn't seem like a benevolent place!"

The Tiger Demon was entrenched in the Shadow world, staring at the temple foundation in the sky. In his eyes, the Vajra Temple was a seamless whole, isolating and repelling the Shadow Dimension. It seemed impossible to sneak in from the Shadow world, so he could only force his way in from the front.

In addition, the Vajra Temple itself was brewing a vast and dense pollution energy, which was the mutated Yellow Springs Death Qi contaminated by Buddhist Dharma Power.

After successively encountering the Ku Cao Little Monk and the Buddha Tomato, and remotely gazing at the Blood Kasaya and the Buddha Corpse Ghost, Yuan Zhu was also familiar with the fluctuations of the Buddhist system.

The Vajra Temple was now falling from the Buddhist Sect into the Yellow Springs, and the source of pollution was being eroded and covered by the [Yellow Springs], but it still inherited some of the Buddhist Sect's attributes. In the Shadow world, it emitted a dim yellow light (Buddha light), radiating and eroding the Shadow world.

"This is...?"

The actions of the Vajra Temple gave him a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before? "Of course, it's your bloodline memory, Boss! This temple is connected to the [Yellow Springs], polluted and distorted by the power of the Yellow Springs, and then releases 'Yellow Springs Buddha Light' in the Shadow world, polluting and distorting the attributes of the Shadow Dimension, trying to transform this place into a 'subsidiary Little Yellow Springs' of the Bubble World. No, it's the Buddhist Hell belonging to the Buddha Corpse Ghost, they seem to be planning to build a 'layer of Hell'!"

The Little Elf also referred to the [Tiger Demon]'s inheritance, her understanding of the Du Ling's 'extraordinary pollution system', and Yuan Zhu's own knowledge of Earth mythology, summarizing it into a set of statements that Yuan Zhu was familiar with and understood.

The structure of the Bubble World was simple and crude, and it did not have its own 'underworld, netherworld'.

So the ghosts of the Vajra Temple began to spontaneously use the Yellow Springs to erode the Shadow world, creating the 'first layer of Yellow Springs Hell' belonging to the Buddhist Sect. If they continued to grow stronger, they could stack on a 'second layer of Hell'... until the 'eighteenth layer of Hell'.

"Boss, the [Tiger Demon]'s ultimate talent divine power also has similar operations, connecting the mountains of the human world to Hell, creating a set of small City God system. Collecting tolls and protection fees from both the Yin and Yang worlds. While raising Chang Gui to respect himself as the ghost king behind the scenes, he can bribe the judge in the underworld to buy a small official position, and also eat a share of the human mountain god's incense. Then engage in a recyclable breeding industry of mountain delicacies, enslave mortals to plant spiritual fields and spiritual herbs... and then upgrade to a resort villa, attract accomplished experts, gradually whitewash himself... and impact the demon immortal! And then go to the Heavenly Court!"

Yuan Zhu nodded to show that he understood, you are thinking too much. "You were attracted by this thing? But it's useless to me!"

He hadn't even mastered the [Tiger Demon]'s talent template, let alone settle in the Bubble World for a long time. Coming here was at most a check-in to broaden his horizons, he couldn't possibly occupy the Vajra Temple and build a 'Shadow Dimension. Underworld Cave Dwelling' here, right?

This broken place didn't even have any population, and it was full of Buddha Tomatoes and crazy beasts, it was too filthy! "I'm just curious, does this Vajra Temple have any treasures? I advised you to come here mainly to absorb the 'Yellow Springs Qi' to complete the [Chang Gui Divine Power]. Now that the goal has been achieved, it's okay to run away. But I'm still not reconciled, I just want to see what good treasures are in this temple? What if it can help you go further and attain immortality?"

The Little Elf wriggled her skeletal snake body, going crazy on the Tiger Demon, rubbing and scratching him. She was a bit of a coward, believing safety came first and it was time to run, but also a bit reckless, unwilling to give up and eager to take a peek inside.

This conflicted state of mind was sensed by Yuan Zhu, who could monitor her at any time, and he also felt his heart itching. It would have been fine if he hadn't been spying on her thoughts, but once he did, it became a constant mental harassment from the Little Elf, scratching his heart and lungs, like a child to rely oning around in the toy area, refusing to leave.

"Screw it! That Buddha Corpse Ghost is taking his elite to make trouble for the Buddha Tomato. Zhou Chu and the others dared to break into the Buddha Tomato's lair. Why can't I, a dignified Shadow Tiger Demon, enter the Vajra Temple?"

Yuan Zhu made up his mind to explore the temple. With a leap, he transformed into a black silhouette, and following the gap between shadow and reality, he escapeed back into the human world.

In the next second, the home-field advantage of being constantly enveloped and injectd by 'polluted spiritual energy (shadow)' was instantly weakened by 80%, making him very reluctant.

Fortunately, it was night, and shadows were spread everywhere, so he could still enjoy 20% of the home-field buff.

"The benefits of this [Shadow Power] are obvious. It gets a 20% boost out of nowhere at night, and 'spiritual energy' directly backflows, forcing me to become stronger. But the drawback is that in broad daylight, under the bright sky, my strength is greatly discounted, and I can only exert my normal level."

The Little Elf quickly offered a plan: "Great King, don't panic. Once you are familiar with the Tiger Demon form, you can store the extra shadow power in your shadow, open up a Mana Value pool, and enhance your endurance. However, in broad daylight, under the bright sky, you can't transform into a Tiger Demon, but instead maintain your human form. Therefore, choose a legal system that can be seen and passed openly for your human body."

Yuan Zhu agreed: "That's right, I've been overemphasizing the Tiger Demon body."

Little Elf: "No, no, no! The [Immortal Scripture] is your foundation, and the [Tiger Demon] is your root. Not only was I born from the distortion and erosion of 'shadow pollution', but you, Great King, also successfully seized this body by relying on the 'Aberrant Spiritual Root'. [Shadow] is our base! We can't abandon the fundamentals and pursue the local system too much. Instead, we should learn, research, and digest local power and knowledge, and secretly nourish and strengthen [Shadow]!"

"Well said!" In his heart, Yuan Zhu became more determined to cultivate both the [Immortal Scripture] and the local system. I can't rely too much on the [Immortal Scripture]. In the end, I, Yuan Zhu, still rely on myself!

The Tiger Demon lurked in the shadows, his aura converged to the extreme, his hunting instinct naturally activated, and the outside world couldn't sense the presence of any foreign objects in the shadows.

Before long, a team of crooked-necked, cracked-date Buddhist Sect Corpse Ghosts patrolled past the street in front of the Vajra Temple. Most of these Corpse Ghosts had an extra 'Dharma Palm' on their bodies. But there were some exceptions. One of the Corpse Ghosts had a coiled and gatherd mantis forelimb growing from the position of his lower back. The size was very large, and it looked very awkward.

"This Buddhist Dharma Body cultivation is all so weird?"

Squeak...

The gate of the Vajra Temple suddenly opened a crack, and an old monk wearing a tattered Kasaya stained with blood walked out from the crack.

His face showed the characteristics of a mummy, his skin was shriveled and slightly rotten, and there were no extra limbs on his body. The strange thing was that his eyes were missing, and his eye sockets were two dark holes.

He put his palms together and looked up at the Starlight. The stars tonight were particularly bright, and from time to time, several Starlight fell towards the square.

The blind mummy monk was staring at the Starlight at this moment. From the empty eye sockets, two long, translucent snail tentacles that secreted mucus suddenly stretched out. The tips of the tentacles were cone-shaped eyeballs that were constantly wrigglinging and flashing with colorful rings.

Not only the empty eye sockets, but also a pair of shorter snail tentacles stretched out from the nostrils, raised up, and aimed at the stars.

The four tentacles stretched out to the length of the forearm, constantly exploring, calculating, and senseing the Starlight... Suddenly, the old monk's body trembled, and the pair of colorful ring-shaped cone eyeballs suddenly turned their direction and stared straight at the Tiger Demon Yuan Zhu, who was ambushing in the shadows.

??? Was he discovered? The mummy monk couldn't speak, so he had to open his mouth and roar: "Roar!"

The Corpse Ghosts around him turned around and ran towards the shadows, and they all raised their respective Dharma Palms, and turbid apricot-yellow Yellow Springs Death Qi was entangleed at the tips of their palms, and various Death Qi martial arts were striked at him.

"Roar!"

The fierce tiger roared, and the ghostly wind of black mist rolled up the yellow sand. The Tiger Demon jumped out of the ravine, and with a whistling claw, the power of Shadow repelled the Yellow Springs Death Qi, and the tiger claw heavily landed on the Corpse Ghost's face, directly slap and explodeing the shriveled head, broken intoing countless bone fragments and pieces of meat, splashing open.

"Eat my whip!"

The Little Elf also shouted loudly, twisting her skeleton snake body, and slammed into the shadows under the Tiger Demon, disappearing. At the same time, the shadows under the feet of the Corpse Ghosts began to boil, and a huge black Shadow snake demon drilled out half of its body, excitedly and frantically squirming, whiping itself like crazy, overturning and flick awaying the nearby corpses one by one, and then the giant python entangleed and mercilessly strangle and explodeed them.

Yuan Zhu tried to drive the [Chang Gui] again.

Sure enough, there was no complete 'Tiger Chang data' in his soul database. Instead, the [Universe Within the Belly] talent had a [Thunder Task Interface. Patch] added by the Little Elf, showing one ongoing but infinitely remote [Chang Gui Refinement Task].

[Task Progress: 1.01%] More than forty Aberrant Spiritual Root demonic creatures were packaged into one task. No wonder there was not a single usable Tiger Chang. If it could be split into 40 tasks, and 39 of them paused, perhaps there would already be Chang Gui that could be grazinged.

Garbage Little Elf! Although there was no completely refined Tiger Chang in the [Chang Gui] interface, this talent could be used like [Call the Wind], but it was just the basic mode.

One by one, 'Shadow Silhouette monsters' generated from memory and subconsciousness emerged from his body. Each one was so bizarre and twisted that Yuan Zhu refused to admit that it was created by his brain. It must be the stupid Little Elf again! As soon as these silhouette cannon fodder were born, they spontaneously absorbed the Yellow Springs Death Qi dissipateing in the air. Because the nearby Yellow Springs aura had been polluted by the Vajra Temple, these twisted Shadow silhouettes also couldn't control the growth of a 'pitch-black Dharma Palm'.

"Is this being polluted?" Yuan Zhu was slightly worried. If these silhouettes absorbed too much dim yellow Death Qi, would they betray him to the Vajra Temple? "Don't be afraid, these cannon fodder are given temporary life by the [Chang Gui Divine Power]. Once removeed, they will collapse and dissipate."

Yuan Zhu: "Then what are we waiting for? smash to pieces them!"

A large number of silhouette demons pounced and unfolded a fight, unable to make a sound when exchange blowsing, as if someone had pressed the mute button. The silhouettes swarmed up, being slap and explodeed and smashed in various ways, but after Yuan Zhu continued to inject Shadow Power, they quickly restoreed.

Hmm? As the melee began, Yuan Zhu discovered a bug. That was, the spatial structure of this foam world was too simple. All that could be seen was the rift of the shadow world.

Not only that, but a steady stream of polluted spiritual energy gush outed from the rift, replenishing his Mana Value consumption. Therefore, he could maintain a large number of 'one-time Chang Gui silhouettes' for intense battle, and his tail was also freely absorbing Shadow spiritual energy under the control of the Little Elf, coordinateing with the massacre.

So, Yuan Zhu's heart moved slightly, and he manipulateed a silhouette demon to pounce and hug a Corpse Ghost. Without fierce fighting, he just locked the opponent's hands and feet, and overturned towards the Corpse Ghost's shadow. He huged the Corpse Ghost and back throwed him to the ground, and the two of them silky smoothly fell into the shadow rift and disappeared from the human world.

Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?!

Is it that easy?

Suddenly, the chaotic battle at the temple entrance changed. The Shadow monsters twisted and deformed, pouncing on the physically strong Corpse Ghosts like nets, no longer entangled in fighting, but instead heading to the Shadow dimension together. Like falling into a trap, they disappeared one after another.

The Little Elf saw this magical scene, twisted her body, and drilled the head of the giant Shadow Demon Snake into the shadow world to investigate.

Yuan Zhu shared the vision synchronously. He also saw in the Shadow dimension that the group of Corpse Ghosts were still full of energy, resisting and using the power of their Dharma Palms to smash the silhouettes one by one.

This time, Yuan Zhu no longer injected Mana Value to extend life the silhouettes, so the Corpse Ghosts lost their target, wandering aimlessly in the Shadow dimension, and finally came to the base of the Vajra Temple, looking up to bathe in the Yellow Springs Buddha Light, but they were powerless to climb up and return home.

"Glitch in the matrix?"

The next second, even the dried-up old monk with snail tentacles, who was quite threatening, was thrown into the Shadow world by Yuan Zhu in one fell swoop, unable to get out.

"Boss is mighty! Boss is domineering! Boss is unparalleled in wisdom!" The huge translucent Shadow Demon Snake twisted and cheered beside the Tiger Demon, "I'll open the door for Boss!"

With that, she stretched out a long way, came to the entrance of the Vajra Temple, bit the door in one bite, and twisted her snake body to push the door open. A strong Yellow Springs Death Qi rushed towards them, all of which had been secondarily polluted.

The Tiger Demon frowned slightly, took a sip, and exhaled it.

Such a heavy stench of corpses is far less fresh and sweet than the blue mist! Garbage! I received a short message that it will be on the shelves on the 26th, please support me.
