Composing himself, Lin Hui looked again at the remaining seventy Dragon Horn Shedding. The Existence Force of these molts varied, with some lasting over 20,000 years and others only a few hundred years.

However, with so many roots, it should be enough for them to evolve something further.

Now that the sword technique has evolved, it's conceivable that its potential is extremely high, and it has no side effects. It's a special attack-type sword technique that gets stronger the more you accumulate, and it's estimated that it can be used for a very long time.

"Our swordsmanship is sufficient, but it will take a long time to upgrade our energy level. So, can the Blood Seal significantly shorten the energy level compression technique that Teacher mentioned, which takes at least a thousand years?"

Lin Hui turned his gaze back to the Jade Scale Seal.

This powerful method, which claims to be able to elevate high-energy condensed matter levels to matter levels, may...

Currently, he is protected by the Illusion Destruction Eye of Rebirth, and can use one regeneration opportunity per day at will. Even if he runs out, he only needs to wait one day, and he can revive again the next day. As long as his eyes stored in the Heart Source Demon Palace are intact, he is immortal.

Add to that the Fate Reversal "defying fate" special effect...

Lin Hui also found it hard to imagine who else could truly and completely kill him.

With safety assured, he naturally focused his attention on improving his energy level.

I thought about it for a moment.

He recalled the Jade Scale Seal taught by Seven Extinctions, and then used it as a target to instruct the Blood Seal to evolve towards it.

" Jade Scale Seal: A unique secret technique created by Seven Extinctions to advance one's energy level. It can absorb external mixed energy and transform it into one's own scales, increasing external pressure and forcing an increase in internal density, ultimately resulting in a qualitative change and advancement to materialization. It is somewhat dangerous, and failure may cause irreversible damage to one's body and soul ( the Illusion Destruction Eye can reshape and become immune to this damage, and Fate Reversal is ineffective)."

Its characteristic is that once it starts, it cannot be stopped, and its offensive capabilities are greatly reduced, but its defensive capabilities are greatly enhanced.

Each creature can only use the Jade Scale Seal once. It is ineffective the second time. Evolution time required: over one thousand years.

Evolvable branch: 4.

"It actually works!?"

Lin Hui was in a great mood and quickly clicked to view it.

The Black Domain Void.

The massive God Clan fortress resembled a giant white jade top, its size nearly the size of a small world sphere. Its outer layer was covered with countless cannons extending outwards, while millions of the God Clan drones constantly moved in and out below, supporting and stabilizing the still-stalemate battle in the distance. Inside, in a magnificent golden reception hall with walls covered in runic circular patterns,...

Ping Yun, draped in a wide white cloak, his handsome face bearing a gentle smile, quietly gazed at the stable, dark green portal that had opened before him. The portal's frame was crafted from a God Clan alloy, meaning that the portal did not open from the outside in.

Rather, it was initiated by the God Clan themselves.

A dense aura of calamity continuously emanated from within the portal.

If Lin Hui were here, he would easily recognize that it was the Sea Roar Force that he was once quite familiar with.

hiss.

From the gate, a tall figure slowly stepped out, followed by two grotesque black-armored figures covered in ferocious spikes. It was none other than Annihilation, one of the top experts in the Abyss.

The newcomer, also draped in a dark green cloak, wore a smile and exuded a mature air; he was none other than Zhang Xinfan, the leader of the Mingxin Society who had long since integrated into Haiming. "It is a great pleasure to formally enter the military fortress of the Endless God Clan for a visit. I am Zhang Xinfan, representing the Supreme Haiyuan, to conduct this meeting." He extended his hand to Pingyun.

"We were also very pleased. To be honest, the Commander-in-Chief and I were a little surprised when we received Haiyuan's contact." Ping Yun smiled and extended her hand to shake his gently.

"We never expected that Hai Ming, from the Calamity faction, would be willing to join forces with us and sign a contract. We thought that you had complete control over Hui's decisions."

"The world is a bustling place, all driven by self-interest," Zhang Xinfan laughed. "Hui is indeed very strong, and he has an extremely terrifying Wind Disaster expert standing behind him, but he doesn't represent all our interests. Therefore, this time, I, Hai Ming, representing the Ashes, have come to discuss important matters with the God Clan Race. Originally, we only tried to make contact with them with a try-it-out mentality, but we didn't expect that the Commander-in-Chief would be so magnanimous and not hold our previous minor offense against us."

He described the deaths of millions of the God Clan as a minor offense, something that would have enraged other God Clan on the spot.

But Ping Yun smiled faintly.

"Special circumstances require special treatment. It's just a matter of fewer low-level insects, so there's no need for you to feel apologetic. If this cooperation goes smoothly, the Commander-in-Chief and I are even willing to send you some more insects as compensation."

"The Commander-in-Chief and Commander Yun are truly magnanimous." Zhang Xinfan's smile widened. "In this cooperation, we actually took some risks. Hui has always regarded this realm as his private domain. If our cooperation is discovered later..."

"We'll help explain then," Ping Yun with a smile.

"No... no need for explanation. In fact, we have always been dissatisfied with Hui's control. The human realm in this region also has immense resources waiting to be developed. Therefore... rather than passively waiting for him to make a move, it's better to take advantage of his unpreparedness and eliminate him once and for all!" Zhang Xinfan transmitted his voice, no longer speaking to him directly.

Clearly, he was worried about something.

"Oh?" Ping Yun surprised. "Isn't that unnecessary? The Fusion Faction is immortal."

"Unfortunately, Hui isn't actually a true member of our Fusion Faction... This is a major secret we recently uncovered," Zhang Xinfan whispered. "Deep within the calamity, we all possess resurrection marks. Once these marks are formed, our true forms can disperse into calamity power at any time, or coalesce using calamity power. But Lin Hui has never used similar methods before. I suspected this a long time ago, so I secretly collected the residual Disaster Energy from Hui's attack not long ago. I discovered that even after all this time, the Wind Disaster power he released is still at an extremely rudimentary level, just like back then. This also means... he's not a true member of the Fusion Faction; he's merely using some special method to temporarily borrow the power of the Wind Disaster."

"Oh? I see." Yun's eyes lit up, understanding what the other person meant.

"Yes, that means that as long as he is truly and completely dealt with, this person will most likely be unable to recover... As for the powerful Wind Disaster behind him, once the fact that Hui deceived and pretended to be a Fusion Faction is exposed, he will surely be disappointed and let go." Zhang Xinfan said with a smile.

"Hmph... I still can't understand why you would go to such lengths to target Hui. To be honest, I've done many transactions with Hui, and he has a good reputation. That reason you just gave isn't enough to convince me." Ping Yun shook her head slightly.

Zhang Xinfan's eyes Microflash.

"It's not that we absolutely have to deal with Hui; I was just casually suggesting it. Since you're unwilling, then let's just drop it."

"That's unnecessary," Yun laughed. "Actually, Hui possesses something extremely mysterious and valuable. During the previous transaction, the Commander-in-Chief and I discovered a clue. The calamity power within him seems somewhat different from the true primordial Wind Disaster. We suspect that he may possess a treasure capable of truly and completely transforming calamity power!"

Zhang Xinfan's expression changed slightly.

Nobody's a fool. He tried to incite a bloody battle between the Endless Divine Clan and the Nine Heavens Gate of Wind Disaster. It's understandable that they didn't fall for his trick, but... the fact that they also discovered Lin Hui's secret, which he had just discovered, surprised him.

In truth, if he hadn't been so eager, he wouldn't have wanted to provoke that old madman True Lord of Seven Destructions.

Even though he is not actually the original Zhang Xinfan, but rather the vague will of the Supreme Sea Abyss consciousness has been replaced, and whose strength is extremely high, he still doesn't want to fight Seven Extinctions.

Zhang Xinfan is merely the outward identity of this person; in reality, he is simply the strongest individual newly conceived by the Supreme Sea Abyss that devoured everything about this person. Calling him the Lord of the Abyss is not an exaggeration, which is why he previously had top-tier monsters at the Annihilation level following and obeying his commands.

A top-tier powerhouse like Annihilation, at least a fifth-ring level, combined with the essence of the Calamity Fusion Faction, is far stronger than a fifth-ring non- Fusion Faction. After all, they are not afraid of death or injury; if they can't win, they can even self-destruct. As long as they can injure their opponent even slightly, they can slowly grind them down with their immortality.

Not to mention the powerful contamination from the calamity.

Based on previous results, it would take at least three God Clan level 5 players to barely hold off a single Annihilation.

"It seems we share the same goal." Yun looked at Zhang Xinfan and suddenly sighed.

As one of the true researchers behind the psionic monsters, he had been studying the power of calamity for tens of thousands of years, so he could easily see that the Wind Disaster power on Lin Hui's body had always been in a primary form.

As the leader of the Source Disaster, this situation was certainly abnormal, so after a few brief contacts, especially after taking the initiative to collect some tissue samples from the other party.

The result became clear immediately.

Unexpectedly, even within the Calamity Alliance, there was someone like Zhang Xinfan who saw through Hui's true nature.

His initiative to speak up at this point indicated his desire to truly join forces with the other side and break the current stalemate in the battle.

The Seven Kings Alliance has exceeded their expectations, and they have managed to withstand their pressure.

What if a third party suddenly joins the battle...

Clearly, Hai Ming and Ashes, who were behind Zhang Xinfan, also saw this and took the initiative to contact him. The two sides hit it off immediately, which led to this meeting. "Alright," Zhang Xinfan sighed. "Hui is favored by his elders in the sect. He can handle things on his own; his true strength is between the fifth and sixth rings. The main reason is that he has the True Lord of Seven Destructions behind him... who is among the strongest in the seventh ring, plus he is Fusion Faction." Clearly, he had not obtained the latest update on Lin Hui's strength from Hell.

Perhaps they had already contacted him, but Hell was simply unwilling to cooperate with him.

Ping Yun's pupils contracted slightly.

This was the first time he had learned the true level of the powerful figure behind Hui.

"That is indeed a problem... What solutions do you have?"

"This matter depends on whether the Commander-in-Chief is willing to intervene and restrain us. I've already reached an agreement with the Ashes side. We'll each contribute our strength to fight against Seven Extinctions. Actually, as long as we expose Lin Hui's true colors, True Lord of Seven Destructions, as a true Fusion Faction, wouldn't completely offend us for the sake of a fake disciple. We're all immortal; making enemies would be a long-term, unprofitable conflict. At most, we'll have one last fight and then give him face and let it go," Zhang Xinfan said with a smile.

Ping Yun immediately understood. Clearly, the other party anticipated that True Lord of Seven Destructions would definitely cause a huge commotion because of this matter, and that Hai Ming and Ashes, with their hidden strength, felt they couldn't stop Seven Extinctions. Therefore, they took the initiative to contact her side and ask the Commander-in-Chief to intervene and restrain him.

It just so happens that he also needs the other side to break the balance first. Once the Commander-in-Chief obtains the warrant and his strength reaches a new level, stepping into that legendary transcendent realm... at that time, suppressing the Seven Extinctions will be a piece of cake.

From this perspective, neither side is at a disadvantage. The other side must first demonstrate sincerity and cooperate to break the balance of power among the Seven Kings Alliance.

He immediately reached out his hand again.

"So, is that settled?"

"Of course, now that the general direction is set, we'll discuss the details gradually." Zhang Xinfan extended his hand again and shook hands lightly with the other person. Both of them smiled meaningfully at the same time.
