The Ultimate Evil Attribute

Lin Ran's Soul Power glowed with a milky white light as it entered the woman's body.

At that moment, Lin Ran suddenly frowned.

As his Soul Power flowed through every part of the woman's body, his perception of the Bloodline Power throughout her body became clearer. Moreover, he could subtly influence the blood and Bloodline Power within her body.

Lin Ran was puzzled.

Wasn't his blood a Body Martial Soul? Then why could he influence the blood and Bloodline Power inside someone else's body?

He had never heard of a soul master with an arm martial soul being able to control someone else's arm, or a soul master with a brain martial soul being able to control someone else's brain.

So why could he influence other people's blood and Bloodline Power?

Though he still could not control it, this slight influence should not be underestimated. After all, he was only a Soul Grandmaster right now.

Unable to figure it out, Lin Ran put the matter aside. Either way, it was a good thing for him.

He continued examining the woman's body but found nothing unusual.

However, when his Soul Power flowed back into his own body, he sensed something was off.

Why did his body seem to be getting hotter and hotter?

Lin Ran circulated the Yin volume of the Longevity Skill and calmed himself down.

Then, he drew upon the Nirvana power from the Blood Phoenix soul bone and sent it into the woman's body.

The connection between him and the woman was related to the Blood Phoenix Wings, so he decided to see whether the Nirvana power would have any effect on her.

As more and more Nirvana power entered the woman's body, nearly filling her completely, her body finally began to change.

Threads of pitch-black color appeared within the woman's Soul Power. They radiated an eerie, restless aura, like flames burning and devouring within her dantian and meridians.

The woman's Bloodline Power became abnormally restless and scorching hot.

As Lin Ran's Soul Power mingled with hers, some black Soul Power mixed into the Soul Power returning to his body as well, making him increasingly agitated. Even his breathing grew heavier.

All of that black Soul Power flowed through his meridians and into the Blood Phoenix Wings.

Lin Ran looked at the red-haired woman. Her thin lips parted slightly as she exhaled scorching breath, and several soft, melodious moans slipped unconsciously from her throat.

Her body twisted instinctively, her long jade-like legs tangling together and rubbing against each other. Her body had become abnormally hot, like a little furnace. Even through their clothes, Lin Ran could feel the astonishing heat.

Her fair skin had turned a seductive flush, and the fine sweat covering it made it look incomparably moist, as though she had just emerged from a bath.

"Tsk, what a vixen."

Lin Ran exhaled deeply, circulated the Longevity Skill, and suppressed the restlessness in his heart. His expression turned serious.

That burning black Soul Power must have been the cause of the woman's martial soul mutation. It possessed the same evil attribute as the Blood Phoenix Wings, along with the characteristics of fire. It could stir up the desires in one's heart to an extreme degree—even he had nearly failed to restrain himself.

Still, why did this evil fire attribute seem somewhat like the evil fire of the Evil Fire Phoenix? Could this woman be Ma Xiaotao?

As Lin Ran guessed at the woman's identity, his expression grew strange.

Evil fire, red hair, an explosive figure—it all matched.

The Body Sect had just clashed with Shrek, so how had they ended up picking up the disciple of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek Academy?

Had Ma Xiaotao gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring? Recalling Xuan Zi, whom he had encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Ran immediately pieced together Ma Xiaotao's experience.

Xuan Zi had led the team. There had been no accident.

Lin Ran stared at Ma Xiaotao, considering how to deal with the situation before him.

The woman before him was Ma Xiaotao. He had to save her, but how he should treat her afterward required careful consideration.

Seeing that the woman's body was filled with Nirvana power, Lin Ran directly activated the soul bone skill—Nirvana.

The instant the soul skill activated, the Soul Power within the woman's body completely erupted.

Massive Soul Power transformed into a barrier that enveloped both of them.

Flames continuously emerged from the woman's body—some blazing crimson, others pitch-black evil fire. The two types of flame intertwined, burning the clothes on her body to ashes and exposing an incomparably alluring sight.

"Redhead?"

Lin Ran murmured instinctively, but he quickly had no mind to care about that anymore. The scorching flames coiled around him as well, yet caused him no harm whatsoever.

Black flames clung to the Blood Phoenix Wings. As the evil attribute powers intertwined, they actually strengthened one another. The evil attribute's influence on his mind returned with a vengeance, and black, sinister lines once again spread up his spine toward Lin Ran's brow, entering his Spiritual Sea and turning into black mist in an attempt to erode it.

Meanwhile, the black flames on the woman's body had clearly gained the upper hand. The pure crimson flames were continuously assimilated by the black flames.

Lin Ran snorted coldly. It was merely the power of an attribute. No matter how sinister it was, people had always controlled power—not the other way around.

He circulated the Longevity Skill, protecting the meridians and dantian within his body from being contaminated by the evil attribute. As for the evil attribute that had entered his Spiritual Sea—

The Illusory Sea Pearl gave a slight tremble, and all the black mist was sucked into it at once. After circling through it, the mist was expelled again. It had already become incomparably condensed and pure, transforming into an Ultimate evil attribute.

Lin Ran sank his consciousness into his sea of consciousness and sensed this power.

The Ultimate evil power did not possess the slaughter and destruction aura of the evil attribute within the Blood Phoenix Wings, nor did it have the restless, depraved aura of Ma Xiaotao's evil fire. It was as though evil was simply this pure.

Evil was evil. It had nothing to do with slaughter, desire, or depravity.

Enlightenment arose in Lin Ran's heart.

He continued drawing out the evil attributes from the Blood Phoenix Wings and Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, allowing the Illusory Sea Pearl to absorb and convert them into an Ultimate Attribute before having the Blood Phoenix Wings absorb it.

Just like that, the originally blood-red wings gradually developed pitch-black patterns, beautiful in a bewitching way.

The Blood Phoenix Wings had completely transformed into an External Soul Bone possessing the Ultimate Life and evil attributes.

Once the transformation was complete, Lin Ran looked at Ma Xiaotao.

Perhaps because the evil fire had become entangled with the Blood Phoenix Wings, it too had absorbed traces of an Ultimate Attribute aura. The black flames had completely suppressed the blazing crimson flames and were devouring them clean.

Very soon, the last traces of crimson flame vanished. The black fire surged into Ma Xiaotao's body, and the girl's originally flame-like, brilliant red hair had already turned a bewitching blackish-red.

Lin Ran frowned.

He had meant to save Ma Xiaotao, so how had he ended up turning her completely into an Evil Fire Phoenix? Or rather, she should be called a Fallen Fire Phoenix.

Although Ma Xiaotao's evil attribute had picked up a trace of an Ultimate Attribute aura, it still had not reached the Ultimate level. In other words, she would still be affected by the evil attribute.

Did that mean Ma Xiaotao had become the same person she would be after joining the Holy Spirit Cult?

So had he saved Ma Xiaotao after all, or not?
