Transformation I

In Xue Shi's mind, the power of Wind Disaster had been deeply rooted in his soul thousands of years ago.

He could never forget the humiliating experience of being brutally hacked to pieces by Lin Hui.

Therefore, within the Desolation Disaster Sect, there has always been a frenzy of cultivation and a frantic scramble for resources.

The curse of the Fusion Faction is not so easy to break.

From the moment they become Fusionist, their cultivation and aptitude will almost always regress.

Even if they can continue to improve, they won't be able to achieve a significant leap in strength. Stagnation in their abilities, remaining unchanged, is the most likely scenario.

Therefore, Xue Shi at this time was still at the same level as before, except that he was slightly stronger because he had acquired a few new powerful magic weapons.

However, this is not due to its own inherent strength, but rather to the amplification provided by external forces.

"Since the last time Nine Lives Nine Deaths, it took me a thousand years to make amends. Now, everything is ready. The Wind Disaster... it's time to teach them a lesson they won't forget..."

Xue Shi's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Xia Si, countless withered yellow roots crawling and spreading out from behind him.

"Die!!"

Xue Shi charged straight at Xia Si without pausing, his right hand transforming into a giant, withered tree claw, fiercely grabbing at the opponent with a large amount of Desolation Disaster Energy.

"Um?"

Xia Si suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed straight in his direction.

He raised his sword with his right hand.

"Wind!"

She drank it again.

Suddenly, a massive blue tornado, millions of kilometers in diameter, shot into the sky once again, heading straight for Xue Shi.

Then..

It brushed past him and crashed hard into the huge skull made of dead wood behind him.

Boom!!

The shockwave exploded, and countless Wind Energy stellar forces clashed with the high-concentration Disaster Energy of the Desolation Disaster, annihilating and disintegrating.

Like snowflakes falling from the sky, they fluttered and drifted all around.

The skull shattered instantly, and Xue Shi, who was grazed by it, was also instantly pulverized, like a toy, his entire body's Disaster Energy disintegrated and thrown away.

Faced with that enormous, terrifying blue tornado, all his power was instantly annihilated, unable even to withstand the aftershocks.

"That's the move!! That's it!" But Xue Shi was in a frenzy because he recognized that the move was the same one that Lin Hui had used before.

However, the wind this woman used was slightly different from Lin Hui's, and it lacked his imposing and perfect aura.

It's highly likely they are from the same school.

Thousands of years later, he was once again casually and severely injured by someone who seemed to be a fellow disciple of Lin Hui, using the same trick.

Xue Shi's years of pent-up anger and humiliation finally exploded.

His remaining half-body rapidly regenerated in the void, returning to its original state.

Then he leaped into the air, releasing countless wisps of yellowish smoke that filled the surroundings.

"Die!! Nine Lives Nine Deaths!!"

Driven by his rage, Xue Shi no longer cared about anything else.

He frantically activated the highest profound mystery of the Withered Wood Divine Sect, Nine Lives Nine Deaths.

This was also the ultimate killing technique he used when he fought Lin Hui back then.

Its function is that if an opponent kills you once, it can permanently weaken the opponent's total strength.

You can be killed nine times and weaken your opponent nine times.

Back then, he tried to provoke Lin Hui into killing him, but failed.

And now...

He paid a heavy price, using this secret technique that can only be used once every hundred years, disregarding everything else.

Countless wisps of yellowish smoke coalesced once more into a giant blade, carrying him along as it flew towards Xia Si.

BOOM!!

In an instant, the giant sword shattered, Xue Shi was crushed, and both man and sword were torn apart and destroyed by the giant tornado, utterly and irrevocably dead.

Just then, Xia Si, who was wielding his sword to fight the new skull, suddenly felt a tightness all over his body.

She felt as if some kind of malice had forcibly stripped away a layer of her power.

What the hell is that?

Xia Si vanished in an instant, appearing directly behind the voluptuous woman wearing a rubber duck mask, and pierced her heart with a sword.

Bang!

The next moment, the woman was also covered in yellow smoke, entering the state of Nine Lives Nine Deaths, instantly disintegrating and vanishing into nothingness.

Xia Si also felt once again that her sword speed and power had been forcibly weakened by another layer.

"You bitch, come and kill me again if you dare, ah!!!" Xue Shi's body reappeared in the void, but before he could finish speaking, he was wiped out by the blue tornado and died once more.

The other voluptuous woman, however, was not so resilient. She died once and could not be resurrected. At this moment, she was watching the battle from the inner edge of the withered yellow gate.

"Again! You bastard!!" Xue Shi revived once more.

Then, with a casual sword strike from Xia Si, it was once again weathered and disintegrated.

"Again!!"

Another sword strike, and the person exploded before they could even fully form.

"Again...!"

Before he could even finish his sentence, Xia Si cleaved him in two with a single sword strike.

Time and again, Xia Si felt more and more that her body was being forcibly stripped of far too much power by some kind of peculiar malice.

Her sword swings became heavier and slower.

"What the hell is this?!" Her anger flared up, so she decided not to go anywhere else and just stared at the resurrected Xue Shi. Whenever he appeared, she would slash at him with her sword.

The secret of the Nine Lives Nine Deaths lies in the fact that only by killing the caster in nine different ways can this mystery be broken.

If this is not done, then the vicious cycle of the opponent's resurgence and one's own weakening will continue indefinitely.

Xia Si, however, refused to believe this evil and relentlessly attacked the resurrected Xue Shi.

Soon, a hundred attempts had passed, and Xia Si clearly felt her overall physical condition drop by more than 10%, which fueled her anger even more. She immediately stayed put, guarding Xue Shi.

In the blink of an eye, another thousand times have passed.

At this moment, Xia Si's overall physical strength had dropped to one-tenth of its initial level.

"What a piece of trash!! Explode!!" The anger in her heart finally couldn't be suppressed and exploded completely.

His entire body exploded instantly.

Material means can instantly reshape things.

A new body instantly appeared, and everything about her returned to its peak.

As a master of materialization, creating a new body is an easy task for him.

"!!??"

Xue Shi was completely dumbfounded when he saw this.

At first, he thought the other party was just a powerful expert with super destructive strength on the same level as him. But when he saw the other party reconstructing his body, he realized that the other party was not on his level at all, but a material energy level expert who was many levels above him.

He had accumulated so many permanent weakening effects, yet now the opponent could easily eliminate him with a simple body reshaping.

The power of materialization is a true and complete reshaping. At this moment, Xue Shi was dumbfounded.

The anger and humiliation in his heart vanished instantly, like ice melting in the snow.

Instead, there was fear, a deep sense of panic.

Because his Nine Lives Nine Deaths are coming to an end soon.

The ultimate technique cannot be activated indefinitely; it has a fixed time and number of uses limit.

This supreme technique, which can only be used once every hundred years, can only be activated for fifteen minutes.

And now...

Puff!

With a final strike, he shattered it, and Xia Si never sensed its resurrection again.

"Tch, they ran away?" She swung her sword unhappily, her gaze fixed on the withered yellow door.

Swish!

The next moment, she teleported close and slashed down.

Clang!

Suddenly, another large hand made of vines reached out from inside the gate, blocking the sword strike head-on.

Xia Si pressed her advantage relentlessly, unleashing a frenzied barrage of sword light that stirred up a dense mass of blue wind Wind Energy and star power, violently disintegrating the countless Desolation Disaster Energy emanating from the gate from Four Faces.

The door was about to break, and more and more cracks were appearing.

A blurry humanoid figure made of yellow vines crashed open the door and rushed straight toward Xia Si.

The two were locked in a fierce battle in the blink of an eye, their blue light and yellow smoke mingling together, indistinguishable from one another.

Seeing this, Lin Hui sat up slightly.

I never expected Xue Shi to still hold such a grudge after all these years... It was just killing him once? For the Fusion Faction, it's nothing, just once.

Putting Xue Shi, he looked at the withered vine and humanoid figure fighting Xia Si and had a vague idea of what was going on.

"It should also be at the material level... So fast, the anomaly of this Black Disaster must be caused by the Gate of Desolation Disaster."

Lin Hui didn't move, but continued to observe the battle and accumulate life points.

Suddenly, Su Yaping and her companion also received a message from the Wind Chime chimes and rushed over to join the battle.

Without saying a word, the two swung their swords at the withered yellow gate, but were blocked by two yellow figures rushing out the next moment.

These three figures were all blurry outlines made of vines, and their auras and souls were identical, clearly indicating that they were differentiated from a single Fusionist.

"Not enough... This little bit of information isn't enough to make even the Star Lord say it's troublesome..." Lin Hui waited quietly.

The three disciples gradually overpowered the three vine-like figures and slowly approached the withered gate.

Laugh!

The next moment, a colossal yellow figure appeared behind the gate.

Only then did the three realize that the withered yellow door was actually just the left eye of this enormous figure.

"Those who offend my Withered Wood Divine Sect... die!!" A maniacal female voice reverberated from the void.

"This is it." Upon seeing the figure, a hint of interest finally appeared in Lin Hui's eyes.

The Colloidal Dissociation energy level, as Fusionist, is indeed enough to give the Star Lord a headache.

After all, the Fusionist can die and revive repeatedly. Unless the Star Lord stays here indefinitely, there is no way to completely eliminate the opponent.

Since the opponent's recovery points are all deep in the Desolation Disaster, he can't possibly rush into the depths of the Desolation Disaster and camp there like he did back then.

That's the crux of the problem.

The level of Colloidal Dissociation is beyond what the three disciples can currently contend with.

Immediately, Lin Hui gripped the sword hilt, and his figure instantly teleported to Xia Si and the other two, riding the Wind Energy.

The huge, withered, yellow figure was reaching out to grab the three of them.

The chaotic Disaster Energy of the Colloidal Dissociation Desolation Disaster disrupted the flow of power within the three individuals, significantly reducing their ability to resist.

Clearly, she intended to capture the three alive, corrupt them, and turn them into her Fusionist.

The three unleashed their sword techniques frantically, unleashing wave after wave of Wind Energy and star power explosions.

It transformed into giant tornadoes.

However, all the tornadoes quickly disintegrated in the face of the Colloidal Dissociation Disaster Energy, which far exceeded their energy level.

Just when the three were in despair...

A figure in white robes silently appeared before them, blocking the huge yellow figure.

Let me test just how strong I really am now...

A thought flashed through Lin Hui's mind.

hiss...

He slowly drew his Golden Crow Sword, facing the gigantic, withered, yellowish -Mist Man that was countless times larger than himself.

"Wind!"

A long-absent low shout.

A moment of silence.

silence.

At that moment, it was as if all the movement around us suddenly fell silent, losing all momentum.
