Danger! Use Fusion Art!

Mark!

He could clearly feel that something had been added to his mind.

Xu Bai, covered in sweat, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand; the initial sensation was slowly fading.

As he circulated his True Yuan Power and focused his consciousness into his mind, he discovered an eye flashing between his eyebrows.

The eye was small, but in terms of its outline and shape, it was exactly the same as the Giant Eye we had seen before.

The whole thing looks like that Giant Eye shrunk countless times.

"This is a marker; it seems to remember my location." Xu Bai instantly understood.

After he killed these people, no one knows what method the Giant Eye used, but it left a miniature version of the eye in his mind.

Most importantly, his cheat device didn't react at all.

Moreover, a sense of awareness told him that his location had been exposed, that he was now in front of the Giant Eye.

"You're still imprisoned, and you're already so eager to kill me, but you can't get out now. Is it all just to find my location?" Xu Bai raised his head, his gaze gradually turning cold.

The threat posed by this Giant Eye is growing stronger.

He didn't know if the Giant Eye could hear what he had just said, but he felt he had to get it off his chest.

After saying this, Xu Bai quickly calmed down and made himself peaceful before trying to touch the miniature version of the Giant Eye with his divine soul.

When his soul touched the shrunken eye, the vertical eye suddenly vibrated, repelling his soul.

The Myriad Attacks of the first-level Saint Realm, including the Soul Annihilation Technique, were also at the first-level Saint Realm, but they were completely ineffective against this miniature eye, and couldn't even be touched.

"Damn it, this really gives me a headache." Xu Bai rubbed his forehead, feeling utterly speechless at the miniature eyes.

Keeping this in one's mind is tantamount to truly exposing one's coordinates. The Giant Eye is currently in a cage, but once it emerges from the cage, it will definitely find one immediately, and that will be a real problem.

He still remembered the scene he had seen in the Illusion Pearl not long ago. The giant eye descended upon the Sect Leader the Deity Summoning Sect and easily killed the Saints around him, proving that the Giant Eye itself was higher than a Saint, or at least Exiting Sainthood.

Being the focus of attention from someone who has reached the Exiting Sainthood transcendence is not just a bad feeling, it's downright terrible.

"In short, let's get out of here first. There are two Barbarian Tribe saints waiting for me, and I need to get rid of that danger first."

Xu Bai is already quite far away. He needs to quietly go back first, and then slowly study this eye, trying to find a way to break the curse. At the very least, he needs to reach the Saintly Realm.

With that thought in mind, he stopped and prepared to take off.

But at that moment, Xu Bai suddenly felt intense pain in his mind.

The pain came on very quickly, without any warning, as if someone had taken a steel spike and stabbed it hard into my head.

Because the pain was so sudden, Xu Bai froze on the spot.

A dark purple mark appeared between his eyebrows, its outline exactly the same as that of Giant Eye.

After the mark appeared, it quickly separated from his forehead and floated in mid-air.

As the mark appeared in mid-air, the pain in Xu Bai's mind slowly dissipated.

He looked up at the mark in mid-air, his brows furrowing tightly.

The pain just now and the pain disappearing are only a brief moment, and very little can happen in that moment.

The mark in mid-air caused Xu Bai to instantly sink his consciousness into his soul, only to find that the miniature eye in his mind was gone.

"They escaped?"

The shrunken eye, tracing along his forehead, had floated into the air, becoming something akin to a mark.

The mark was just a dark purple outline, which looked like an eye, and it was extremely blurry.

Looking at the mark in front of him, Xu Bai instantly felt a sense of danger, and he felt a chill that made his hair stand on end.

Although the mark was blurry, looking down at Xu Bai, it was like a giant looking down at an ant.

This situation made Xu Bai very uncomfortable. He raised his hand, and a dazzling white light appeared on his palm.

At this moment, Xu Bai seemed to be holding a cluster of stars, dazzling and radiant.

The sea breeze blew by, making Xu Bai's sleeves flutter.

With the sea breeze, the white light in Xu Bai's hand became even more dazzling.

A chilling, murderous aura, faintly visible amidst the blinding white light, emanated from the scene.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and released the white light from his hand...

—Myriad Attacks! No matter what, this thing must not be left alive. Since it has already appeared in his body, destroying it is the best outcome.

So when Xu Bai saw the mark appear, he stopped thinking about anything else and focused on destroying it to ensure his safety.

With Myriad Attacks, a dazzling white light shone like the blazing sun, causing the entire island to tremble violently, as if surrendering to the light. Meanwhile, the seawater evaporated into a hazy mist, which gracefully rose into the air.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling white light, as bright as the sun, suddenly approached and landed on the mark that glowed with purple light.

The white light, as bright as the blazing sun, exploded like boiling water, turning into a pure white mass without any other colors.

The red sunlight in the sky, because of the appearance of this white light, became timid and shrinking, and was completely overshadowed by the white light.

After a while, when the white light dissipated, there was nothing left in front of me.

But Xu Bai did not let his guard down; instead, he turned his gaze to the ground of the island.

Just now, the mark left by the Giant Eye disappeared, but that doesn't mean it was destroyed.

"Tread..."

A series of heavy footsteps approached, and Xu Bai turned around abruptly to look at his side.

Not far to his right, a figure was slowly approaching. When Xu Bai saw the figure's true face, his brows furrowed more and more.

The person who came was not wearing any clothes, but there was no nakedness at all; instead, everything was contorted.

Due to the distorted air, its true appearance was obscured; even the face was shrouded in mist, making it look extremely eerie.

"You..." Xu Bai reacted and tried to speak, but before he could finish the word, the other party suddenly launched an attack.

The attack came extremely suddenly, but fortunately Xu Bai reacted quickly, disappearing almost the instant his opponent vanished.

"Boom!"

One roar after another rang out, and the entire island was left with only afterimages colliding continuously, like two deadly machines crashing together.

The residual force of the impact made the island unable to withstand it any longer.

The island began to crack and crumble into rubble that sank to the bottom of the sea, but the attack between the two sides was still not over.

Xu Bai was enveloped in a layer of golden light, while his hands were white orbs of light, which he used to attack the faceless figure.

The faceless figure did the same thing, making the same movements as Xu Bai, without any defense whatsoever.

Their fists struck each other relentlessly, creating wave after wave of sound.

A massive whirlpool is forming on the vast sea surface, gradually expanding, and as the whirlpool expands, the surrounding sea level is rising at a visible speed.

It was as if a tremendous force was pushing the surrounding seawater, which stretched from the sky to the earth.

Xu Bai did not dodge. When the faceless figure's fist landed on him, his body shone with a dazzling golden light, but he was able to withstand it.

Conversely, the faceless figure also did not dodge, but unlike Xu Bai, it did not employ Myriad Defenses; instead, it relied on its body to withstand the attacks.

Even so, it was still extremely terrifying. The faceless figure's physical body was incredibly strong, because Xu Bai had never seen anyone withstand his Myriad Attacks with their own body.

Despite their thoughts, they didn't slow down at all. Their attacks were dazzling, and someone with low strength wouldn't even be able to sense that someone was there.

The waves were getting higher and higher. From this angle, the waves, which seemed to stretch to the sky and reach the earth, were centered on the two of them. As they rose higher and higher, the seabed appeared right in front of them.

"No, this won't work." Xu Bai launched another Myriad Attacks at the faceless figure's chest, his mind already racing.

The opponent was incredibly strong, beyond belief. In addition to Myriad Strange Arts and Myriad Miscellaneous Arts, he had integrated all sorts of Myriad Attacks, Myriad Assistance, Myriad Defenses skills into one, yet he only managed to fight the opponent to a draw.

Most importantly, the current situation is very unfavorable to him. All three abilities are at the first level of the Saint Realm, but he only has the strength of the ninth level of the Extraordinary Rank 9.

If he forces it, although it will be very powerful, he will suffer a great loss if the fight drags on for too long.

This is the trouble caused by not being able to keep up with the cultivation level. At this moment, Xu Bai could feel that the True Yuan Power in his kidneys was rapidly decreasing.

That was the True Yuan Power that Myriad Assistance. Although it was at the first level of sainthood, it could not withstand such consumption. Once it was exhausted, it would be the True Yuan Power of the Extraordinary Rank 9.

Moreover, judging from the faceless figure's intentions, it was determined to capture him, otherwise it would not give up easily.

"Run?"

There's no escaping it.

The reason is simple: the faceless figure's speed is no less than his, and escaping also consumes True Yuan Power. For him, it only prolongs the time it takes to lose.

Most importantly, if the two of them were to engage in a chase, Xu Bai would have to exert all his strength, which would cause quite a few incidents. These incidents might attract the attention of the two Barbarian Tribe, and at that point, it would truly be a big problem.

"Should I use a cheat system? No, I absolutely cannot use it. I might use it on anyone else, but I absolutely cannot use it on this thing!"

Xu Bai originally wanted to activate his cheat system to help him get out of trouble, but after thinking about it, he realized that this method was not reliable at all.

The Giant Eye's thinking was very meticulous, and it was now clear that after Xu Bai killed its backup plan, he had brought out the faceless figure.

So, who knows, the cheat code might lead to other things.

After all, in Xu Bai's mind, there was a deep connection between the cheat system and the Giant Eye.

As he was thinking this, he and the faceless figure exchanged over a hundred more blows.

Xu Bai could feel that the True Yuan Power in his kidneys had reached a warning line. If this continued, all his True Yuan Power would be exhausted in at most half an hour, and at that time, he would really have no power to resist.

"That's ruthless, sending a complete idiot like that."

He sighed, and while bracing himself for the attacks from the faceless figure, he decided to try to escape.

However, this time he didn't escape by flying away directly, but by using another method.

Xu Bai abruptly withdrew his hand, and at the same time, he descended rapidly, plunging headfirst into the sea.

Because he stopped, the towering waves returned to normal, continuing to make terrifying crashing sounds.

Of Myriad Miscellaneous Arts — the Water Adaptation Method! The Myriad Miscellaneous Arts are the highest-ranking, with a Saintly Level 3. Due to the advancement of the Myriad Miscellaneous Arts, this skill has also been upgraded to the Saintly Level 3. In water, Xu Bai is more agile than on land.

Xu Bai wanted to try, hoping that he might be able to escape from this vast sea.

He clutched the Withered Grass, which held all his treasures, tightly in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he had already darted an astonishing distance.

In the sky, the faceless figure also stopped after Xu Bai gave up his attack.

A vertical pupil appeared on his forehead.

At the same time, his limbs began to twist and turn, detaching from their original shape and transforming into four enormous fish fins.

"Puff!"

As a figure entered the water, the faceless figure plunged into the seabed, even faster than Xu Bai Xu Bai, and chased after him.

In his haste, Xu Hai suddenly turned around, and his eyes widened when he saw what was behind him.

"What kind of ability is this?"

He was quite surprised, as it was the first time he had ever seen someone turn their limbs into fins.

Of course, despite his surprise, he already knew that he really had no way to escape.

"Does this mean I really have no choice but to rely on my cheat system? No, I absolutely cannot use it, otherwise it will cause unknown dangers. That giant eye might be waiting for me to use my cheat system."

Xu Bai had this idea again, but he quickly dismissed it.

As he watched the faceless figure draw ever closer, a glimmer of light appeared in his heart, gradually growing larger, and his mind began to sharpen.

This faceless figure is very powerful.

They are ridiculously strong in every aspect, and they are just a little bit stronger than me. It's as if they were specifically designed based on me.

Xu Bai thought of the eyes in his mind earlier; perhaps that was the reason.

So, this is the way to break through! No matter which direction the opponent is from, they are always a little bit stronger than you. So, as long as you are stronger than them, can't you turn the tables and defeat them?

How can you become stronger than your opponent?

A temporary breakthrough will suffice.

He also had something that could enhance his strength with just a glance. Although he didn't know to what extent it would enhance him, it was the best method.

If even this method can't solve the problem, then we'll have to rely on some kind of cheat code.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai stopped running away and instead swam upwards, bursting out of the sea and hovering in mid-air in the blink of an eye.

Behind him, the faceless figure also burst out of the sea, its fins instantly transforming into limbs, and pounced on Xu Bai again.

Xu Bai seized the opportunity and pulled a book out of the Withered Grass.

This book has a golden progress bar; it's just a hair's breadth away from being completely perfect.

—Lessons Entering Sainthood Failure Insights! He originally planned to use it after accumulating more skills, but it seems that won't work now.

His opponent had pushed him to this point; if he didn't use his skills now, he would face defeat, and Xu Bai didn't want to experience that defeat.

His eyes fell on Entering Sainthood Failure Insights progress bar in his hand, which had been reduced to a sliver before being filled in an instant. At the same time, a pale blue mist appeared before his eyes.

[You've learned from Entering Sainthood Failure Insights and grasped the Fusion Art!]

[Mergeable options found, currently in progress...]

Xu Bai didn't look at the pale blue smoke, because at that moment, the faceless figure had already attacked.

All he could see was a large number of his skills appearing and gradually disappearing under the effect of the Fusion Art. These skills were ones he had retrieved from the Ruins not long ago.

The True Yuan Power within his body was still disappearing, and it was getting closer and closer to being exhausted, while the faceless figure was still lively and energetic.

At that moment, the blue smoke in front of us finally changed.

[Merger successful!]

The latest attribute panel appeared before Xu Bai's eyes.

[Name: Xu Bai]

[Realm Level: Ninth Rank Loose Cultivator]

[Myriad Aspects Heavenly Attraction Mountain Sea Art (Transcendent Rank 9.1): Max Level.]

[Myriad Attacks (Sainthood Level 2): Max Level]

[Myriad Defenses (Sainthood Tier 2): Max Level]

[Myriad Miscellaneous Arts (Saintly Level 3): Max Level]

[Myriad Assistance (Saintly Rank 2): Max Level]

[Myriad Strange Arts (Sainthood Level 1): Max Level.]

[Comprehension: Max level.]

Myriad Miscellaneous Arts remained unchanged, but everything else was upgraded to a higher level.

The Bewitching Shadow Great Art is gone, but it has been integrated into the Myriad Strange Arts, allowing the Myriad Strange Arts to also reach the first level of Sainthood.

A powerful feeling surged through Xu Bai's entire body.

At the same time, he discovered that the opponent's attacks had fallen to a lower level compared to before.

"Very good, very comfortable!"

Although it didn't bring about a change in rank, his abilities have improved significantly compared to before.

"It's a pity. If it weren't for you, I could have saved up a little more and maybe even made a bigger improvement."

A fierce white light erupted from Xu Bai's hand once again, this time even more terrifying than before.

If the previous white light was like a mountain, then the white light now is a range of mountains.

Holding the white light, Xu Bai reached out and pressed his hand against the faceless figure's chest.

A deafening roar erupted, and dazzling light filled the area centered on Xu Bai, obscuring what was happening inside.

After a long time, the light gradually faded away.

Only Xu Bai remained in the sky; the faceless figure had vanished.

"Call..."

Xu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

As expected, the faceless figure's overall strength was only slightly higher than his own.

As I improved, the faceless figure's strength became relatively weaker. Just now, this move directly shattered the faceless figure.

Looking at the empty sky, Xu Bai felt relaxed, but his sense of urgency deepened.

"Let's leave here first. Once we get back, we need to reach sainthood as soon as possible. Otherwise, if danger comes, we won't be able to withstand it at all."

With that thought in mind, Xu Bai decided not to linger any longer and turned to leave.

But just then, before he could take two steps, he heard a whooshing sound behind him.

Xu Bai suddenly turned around and found that there were countless points of light in the air, and these points of light were constantly merging together.

In the blink of an eye, the point of light transformed into a giant eye.

At this moment, the Giant Eye is exactly the same as the one seen on the Ruins before; it is not a scaled-down version.

But there are still some differences; this eye looks slightly ethereal, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

Xu Bai paused only briefly, and his enormous eyes emitted a bright light, while the surrounding scenery gradually faded away.

A distortion appeared in the void ahead, as if something was about to emerge from it.

"This is... the entrance to the Ruins?"

Xu Bai could sense that the entrances to the Ruins surrounded him, completely enveloping him and leaving him no chance of escape.

He already knew what the Giant Eye wanted to do.

Although this guy was imprisoned in the Ruins, he still had some tricks up his sleeve. Since he had just exposed his location, he actually tried to create Ruins living entrance to the ruins and drag himself into Ruins.

If you are really dragged in, then death will be all that awaits you.

"No, we absolutely cannot let them drag us in!"

That's what I'm thinking, but right now I have absolutely no way to get started.

The area is full of entrances to Ruins, and you'll bump into them if you move even slightly. Moreover, these entrances are spreading, and you'll be submerged even if you don't move.

"You fucking hate me that much? No, you must hate Little Gold, right?"

Faced with this crisis and urgency, Xu Bai had a do-or-die courage; he suddenly felt that he should fight to the death.

Without the slightest hesitation, just as the Ruins were about to touch him, Xu Bai unleashed Myriad Attacks, but these Myriad Attacks were aimed at his own soul.

"You want to get back at me? Fine, I'll show you what you're after."

"I have no choice, you two go have fun by yourselves!"

Start! A painful sensation came from his soul, and Xu Bai held his head, swaying gently.

He didn't scream, but he couldn't control his instinctive reaction to the pain.

Fortunately, the pain was short-lived, and he instantly went into a daze.

At the same time, his tightly closed eyes opened, one side grayish-white and the other golden.

The madness, a fusion of chaos and reason, is no longer Heavenly Change; it is as if he himself is madness.

Those eyes were devoid of any emotion, simply gazing indifferently at the Giant Eye.

Xu Bai raised his hand, and the surrounding space was being torn apart.

A gaping hole had been violently torn open at the entrance to the Ruins, and Xu Bai stepped inside without hesitation...

At the end of this opening were terrifying phantoms.

Today, the monsters of the Demon-Strange Entity Market discovered that they had encountered a terrifying human.
