Without changing locations, the Heart Source Demon Palace was arguably the safest place he could find so far.
The fact that the previous generation's Heart Source Demon Emperor managed to survive until the very end is truly impressive.
Having confirmed that there had been no major changes in the human realm, Lin Hui immediately focused his mind on the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique.
With this goal in mind, the Blood Seal will be used to target evolution.
The Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique: Rapidly enhances one's own sword skills, divided into nine levels..." Skipping the introduction, Lin Hui went straight to the end.
Sure enough, as its energy level increased, the evolutionary branches underwent a complete transformation.
Evolvable branch: 3.
1-- The Beginning-End Origin Sword Technique."
"2-- Unfinished Final Scene Sword Technique."
"3-- Reverse Light Nine Swords."
"These names are completely different from the previous ones; the level is clearly much stronger..." Lin Hui quickly clicked on the detailed descriptions one by one.
1. The Beginning-End Origin Sword Technique: Based on the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique, this technique is an extreme enhancement of the Great Yin Yang Reversal Sword Technique. When facing an enemy, it is a special sword technique that is independently deduced to target the weaknesses of the opponent in all aspects of their life cycle.
It can strike at the vital points where it once existed, killing its former weak form. The higher the level of sword technique, the longer it can reverse the time required to find the opponent's weaknesses.
Required resources: 720,000 years of reserve energy.
"... So many...!" Lin Hui had thought that with the Divine Food Statue in his hands, plus Lin Yuexiu's 30,000+ year reduction in evolution time, he should be able to achieve evolutionary freedom...
The swordsmanship is indeed formidable. According to the description, simply put, no matter how strong or terrifying the opponent is now, as long as he was weak in the past, this swordsmanship can forcefully assassinate that weak version of himself, killing his past self, and thus ensuring his inevitable death now.
Lin Hui didn't know how this sword technique was achieved, but there was no doubt that once mastered, this ability would be extremely terrifying.
After all, most strong individuals are not born the strongest.
Everyone grows step by step; everyone has moments of weakness. If one's swordsmanship is skilled enough, it can truly be considered an invincible sword...
As expected of a terrifying sword technique evolved from the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique. If this is already this powerful, then look at the other two.
He couldn't wait to look at the second one.
"2- The Unfinished Final Scene Sword Technique: All things eventually come to an end, this is the final scene. This sword technique was deduced and perfected from a wisp of inspiration that a certain master of the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique comprehended before his death. It can forcibly accelerate the realization of the final scene of all things in advance. This is a sword that can kill, and also a sword that brings great calamity."
Required resources: 1.1 million years of reserve energy, 1.1 million years of reserve mental energy.
... This..." Lin Hui felt this was even more ruthless. The previous one required finding weaknesses to attack, but this one directly triggered the opponent's ultimate state prematurely. It was more direct...
They are indeed extreme sword techniques that evolved along the same path.
This one is clearly more powerful, but it also requires more years of evolution.
The last one.
3-- Reverse Light Nine Swords: Light is the essence of perception, and against the light symbolizes a sword that cannot be perceived. Once, a celestial being summarized and statistically analyzed all the attack traces of things that cannot be perceived, and finally gathered them into nine strange trajectories that can be used in common. The nine swords are swords that are sure to hit, each targeting one of the nine categories of things. Using the corresponding sword technique for each category can avoid any perception and ensure that one's attack perfectly reaches its destination.
Note: This sword technique can be used in combination with any type of attack.
Required resources: 990,000 years of reserve energy.
After reviewing the three evolutionary branches, Lin Hui hesitated somewhat.
Without a doubt, the third one has the best adaptability; it can be used to launch any attack method, making it the supreme technique for surprise attacks.
But one shouldn't always be thinking of sneak attacks... He reluctantly gave up third place and looked at number 12.
Of the two, the former targets weaknesses, using a slightly more indirect approach, and requires the attacker to launch the attack themselves.
The latter is simple and brutal, directly bringing the other party's ultimate fate to a head and forcibly ending everything.
This sword technique will most likely turn the battle into a clash of energy levels. After all, pulling the opponent to their final state requires immense strength, and the stronger the enemy, the more energy will be needed. However, this is quite suitable for my current use...
The newly acquired Immortal Perpetual Motion Mechanism, the Immortal Fire, isn't it the very source of power that's said to be eternally indestructible and capable of burning everything?
While his power output can't match that of the Fusion Faction predecessors, he has already begun to have the confidence to live independently without relying on the Source Disaster.
Without hesitation, he immediately chose option 2.
"Is it the Unfinished Final Scene Sword Technique?" Blood Seal inquired.
yes."
Once the confirmation was complete, the spatial ring in Lin Hui's hand trembled slightly, and the Existence Force the Divine Food Statue inside began to be directly absorbed by a strand of hair that he had extended into it.
It took more than half an hour for the seven Divine Food Statue to completely absorb their immense Existence Force.
It also provided him with 200,000 units of Existence Force.
The evolution time of the newly emerged Blood Seal has suddenly decreased by 200,000 years, becoming 900,000 years.
Lin Hui wasn't worried. With the God Clan as a huge lifeline and Lin Yuexiu providing a continuous supply, nine hundred thousand years would only be a matter of a few decades.
With the new sword technique evolution, the side effects of the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique will soon be eliminated, and some of the pressure in Lin Hui's heart has been relieved.
He put away the spatial ring, stood up, and looked around.
Outside the window, a purple mist still lingered, drifting and spreading.
Now that I have the Immortal Fire and the Yin-Time Self-Origin Art, the problem with the future sword technique is completely solved, and this basic growth framework is perfect. Essentially, the Yin-Time Self-Origin Art has gradually resolved the root cause of the Wind Disaster Energy's constant erosion of me. It's just that this technique cannot be taught... I'll have to find another way to teach it to my teacher..."
Having come this far, Lin Hui knew very well that he had pulled himself out of the quagmire of the Wind Disaster Fusion Faction by relying solely on the Blood Seal, but this was only possible by himself.
Perhaps only by completely suppressing the Disaster Energy within the teacher and reaching that level can he be helped to escape his suffering... But to reach that level, we must first understand what realm the teacher is in...?"
This has always been a mystery to Lin Hui.
Previously, Seven Extinctions said that the Endless Divine Clan had experts that even he couldn't handle, but he didn't mention who they were.
Lin Hui guessed it was most likely a God-King. But what level was a God-King? No one had ever seen one, and there were no records left.
He pondered for a moment in place.
Forget it, instead of letting my imagination run wild, I'd better just ask them in person.
Given how much Seven Extinctions values himself, there's a high probability he can answer this question.
Immediately, Lin Hui went down to the second floor, passed by Fusheng, and walked out the door.
"Hmm??" Fu Sheng, who had just Fusheng up, shook his head. "What's that smell?" He looked at Lin Hui's departing figure with obvious confusion.
"It seems... something's on fire...?"
There was a distinct smell of burning in the air, but where was this place? This was the Heart Source Demon Palace. Except for energy of the Source Disaster level, ordinary flames would be extinguished in less than half a second here.
"But it doesn't smell like the Source Disaster... How strange... Could this guy have come up with something weird again?" Fusheng's curiosity about Lin Hui was growing stronger.
From this perspective, my chances of getting out of this predicament are getting bigger and bigger.

Nine Heavens Gate.
Seven Extinctions Mie was carefully lying on the ground piecing together a large jigsaw puzzle.
The image depicts a graceful and beautiful woman wearing a silver-white long dress and a beaded phoenix crown. Beside her lies a golden dragon-like creature with nine heads.
"You're here? Something else?" Seven Extinctions smiled as he stood up, turned around, and looked at his disciple Lin Hui, who was slowly landing.
"I do have some questions, and I would like to ask the teacher for clarification." Lin Hui bowed respectfully.
"So, you've gotten yourself into trouble again and need me to step in and smooth things over?" Seven Extinctions laughed.
In reality, most of the time Lin Hui came back, it was to seek help or find a powerful backer. It's no wonder he made that guess.
"Well... that's not it at all," Lin Hui said, slightly embarrassed. "I just wanted to ask you, teacher, just how strong are the Endless Divine Clan, the Military Lord, and the God King? I've recently started cooperating with some of their strongest members, and Juexin a bit uneasy and uncertain about it."
"Do you remember the energy level classification I told you about before?" Seven Extinctions asked.
"I remember. Discrete, high-energy condensation, materialization, Colloidal Dissociation, spacetime distortion. Five levels in total," Lin Hui replied quickly.
"Yes, these five energy levels permeate almost all civilizations and systems; they are practically five fixed and inevitable stages of qualitative change. The difference between different energy levels is exactly like the difference between a giant and an infant."
To give an analogy, it's like the Mist Man World you've experienced before. Below the Mist Man, everything exists on one energy level, while above Mist Man lies another.
Seven Extinctions paused, patted the non-existent ash off his hands, and looked up at the flowing torrent of Light Disaster energy.
"What you need to do in the future is to achieve high-energy condensation, normalize and stabilize this energy level, so that you can naturally use various high-energy forms of power without having to maintain it. That is a successful advancement."
Next comes materialization. This is the realm I've reached, and also the realm of the Lord of the Endless Divine Clan. The hallmark of this is the ability to freely condense one's own power into matter. At this stage, in the eyes of ordinary beings, we are almost indistinguishable from creators. Creating from nothingness, producing something from nothing, in their eyes, we are such creators.
At this level, the weak can create inanimate objects at will, the strong can even create life, and the even stronger can create higher beings, even gods in the eyes of mortals. The range between these is enormous.
Seven Extinctions's words finally opened Lin Hui's mind to the path ahead.
If sword techniques are amplifiers that amplify one's strength, then energy level leaps are the foundation of all improvement.
Just like the difference between internal and external martial arts in the world of mortals.
"You suddenly asked this, is it because you're a little unsure about the strength of your collaborator?" Seven Extinctions asked with a smile.
"Yes, somewhat... The opponent is a sixth-ring being from the Endless Divine Clan, or perhaps, more than six rings." Lin Hui nodded.
" The Endless Divine Clan is a very interesting race. Their sixth ring is roughly the stable realm of high-energy condensation. The higher-ranking God Kings and a few military lords have reached the materialized energy level, which is the seventh ring realm that they themselves define as transcending everything," Seven Extinctions laughed.
"I see? The teacher has fought against them?" Lin Hui guessed. Otherwise, how could he know so clearly?
"I tested him a little, but didn't go all out." Seven Extinctions shook his head. "It was just the first time I made contact, and I accidentally went a bit too far, so I might have hurt him a little too badly... It got much better afterward. On one hand, I knew when to stop, and on the other hand, the opponent was much stronger."
Lin Hui had assumed his teacher spent his days lounging around at Nine Heavens Gate, but it turned out he'd already secretly slipped out to travel around.
