Third Soul Skill: Life-Eroding Metamorphosis!

A Nine Thousand Year Soul Ring was ultimately not a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. With Lin En's current physique, absorbing it was effortless.

As for the sinister aura within the Soul Ring, before the Dragon Clan's savagery, it was nothing more than a little girl. It could not stir up any trouble at all.

It did not take long for the deep-purple Soul Ring to float around Lin En, reflecting each other with his two yellow Soul Rings. The yellow and purple light was especially conspicuous amid the forest's black tones.

Fortunately, the aura of the Imperial Auspicious Beast was nearby, so the dark-attributed soul beasts living in this forest did not dare approach.

Once he had absorbed the Soul Ring, the shackles of Soul Elder were completely torn apart. The Soul Power he had accumulated over the past few days, along with the Soul Power carried by the Nine Thousand Year Soul Ring, pushed his stalled level upward all the way to level thirty-three.

A seven-year-old Soul Elder—even if he had begun cultivating at age three—would still be a super genius shocking enough to astound the world.

Lin En sensed the Soul Skill within his mind. Little Sage had, as faithfully as ever, organized the Soul Skill's effects. Yet after seeing the specifics, the corner of his mouth could not help twitching.

"This is seriously twisted. I really am becoming more and more like an Evil Soul Master!"

Lin En's third Soul Skill was called Life-Eroding Metamorphosis, an exceptionally sinister Soul Skill. Little Sage had already entered all relevant information into the database and provided a logical deduction.

It was completely different from the vitality-enhancement Soul Skill he had initially envisioned. The Soul Skill bestowed by the Devouring Life Ancient Tree leaned more toward assimilation.

"Third Soul Skill: Life-Eroding Metamorphosis. Its essence is the blurring of the Immune System's self-recognition. Its external manifestation is erosion and assimilation."

"Its basic effect is to erode and assimilate external vitality for personal use. It cannot generate vitality by itself.

Like rebirth after rain, it assimilates foreign vitality into itself within sweet dew, extending one's will into the outside world."

"Logic: the essence of Life-Eroding Metamorphosis is an extension of the Immune System's concept of self-recognition. It fundamentally blurs information, then the Immune System Martial Soul assigns entirely new friend-or-foe information.

"Therefore, it can be used on the bone marrow and spleen, subordinate branches of the Immune System Martial Soul."

"By using Life-Eroding Metamorphosis to temporarily blur the information within their stem cells, then injecting spiritual power and vitality to complete microscopic metamorphosis, they can become special Soul Power-type multipotent stem cells capable of ultrafast regeneration."

After Lin En finished reading the Soul Skill information, Little Sage's faint female voice echoed through the Sea of Spirit.

"Master, a fish that comes ashore is no longer a fish. A cicada after metamorphosis may no longer be a cicada either. Life-Eroding Metamorphosis can be used on substances you come into contact with."

Lin En understood. Life-Eroding Metamorphosis was an absurdly sinister Soul Skill. It was an extension of the Immune System's concept of friend and foe, and distinguishing friend from foe was one of the Immune System's core abilities.

The third Soul Skill born from this concept was also the Immune System Martial Soul's most essential mechanism. Just as Uncle Yu had once said, a Soul Master's third Soul Skill could sometimes determine their future.

This was also the crucial period when a Soul Master first revealed their core talent. Soul Masters who cultivated normally would undergo a transformation at this time.

Life-Eroding Metamorphosis had revealed the most terrifying aspect of the Immune System Martial Soul, this ultimate Body Martial Soul.

As long as he used this Soul Skill, all of his own power could be assimilated.

Originally, Lin En had no way to fuse different bloodlines. The limitations of his second Soul Skill, Memory, were actually numerous.

Just as Di Tian had said, no matter how many bloodlines he possessed, his essence had not been elevated.

Lin En could cover himself in the scales of the Devouring Dragon and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion at the same time, but he could not fuse the two types of scales into one.

The arm blades of the White-Armored Earth Dragon could not merge with the dark-golden terror claws of the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear either. Different claw-type bloodlines could not be used simultaneously and could only be switched between.

But things were different now. Life-Eroding Metamorphosis could blur information and redefine friend and foe. It could blur the scales of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Devouring Dragon, then reassess friend and foe, allowing the two types of scales to fuse together.

The countless bloodline memory cells within his body were finally no longer parallel lines. They now had an intersection!

Little Sage's words also carried another meaning: Lin En could use Life-Eroding Metamorphosis on substances he touched.

Then he could use it on living beings as well, and a living being forcibly transformed by Life-Eroding Metamorphosis might no longer be the original living being.

If he blurred that creature's information into "me," then what exactly would that creature become?

Without question, this Soul Skill was even more outrageous than his first Soul Skill, Devouring. Perhaps most Evil Soul Masters did not possess a Soul Skill as sinister as this one.

Beneath the gray sky, Lin En opened his Golden Eyes, which seemed to flow with crimson-gold magma, upon the ground covered in dead leaves.

The giant dead tree behind him had lost all vitality and energy, turning into dust that filled the sky. Wan Demon King, watching from afar with a pained expression, sadly concealed himself and left.

That was all part of his foundation! Yet now he could only hand it over to this foreign invasive species. Di Tian's brain had truly been kicked by Scarlet King for him to make such a decision!

Today, it was the Devouring Life Ancient Tree. If tomorrow they wanted Wan Demon King's head, would he have to bring it over himself?

Wan Demon King left heartbroken. Another sorrowful tree had appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest. Seeing that Lin En had successfully absorbed the Soul Ring, Qiu'er happily came to his side.

Scorching golden flames rose up, sweeping across the earth like waves. The debris covering the ground vanished, leaving behind scorched earth.

The Golden British Shorthair girl knew that Lin En liked this high-temperature environment very much, because high temperatures could replenish his energy.

"Lin En! Lin En!"

"Your aura seems to have changed! It's a little different from before!"

Qiu'er was like a cat seeing her owner return home, her tail raised as she wandered around Lin En. From time to time, she sniffed at him, inspecting his condition.

The three Soul Rings belonging to the Immune System Martial Soul had not yet been put away. His second Soul Ring glimmered faintly, and dense scales emerged from beneath his skin, quickly forming double-layered dragon scales in gold and blue.

His third Soul Ring flashed. The distinctly separated gold and blue suddenly blurred, fusing together in an unimaginable manner. They became special dragon scales with gold as the base, engraved with deep-blue patterns.

When bloodlines fused, the stronger bloodline would clearly take the dominant role.

Golden fur could faintly be seen between the gaps in the scales. This was the manifestation of the Auspicious Beast bloodline. Auspicious Beasts were creatures where scales and fur coexisted, but the golden fur had previously been concealed by the simultaneous manifestation of both types of scales.

Dark-golden claws extended from his fingertips, wrapped in a cold, ghostly-purple glow. Enveloped by that light, the claws actually took on a transparent texture.

The claws of the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear had fused with those of the Netherworld Ghost Tiger, possessing both the Dark Golden Terrorclaw's terrifying lethality and the Netherworld Ghost Tiger's eerie unpredictability.

The vitality rising within his body no longer felt foreign to him. It merged flawlessly with him, no different from his own vitality, because Life-Eroding Metamorphosis had altered its friend-or-foe attribute.

Seeing this, Qiu'er said excitedly, "Partner, you can fuse different bloodlines now!"

"There's no longer any barrier in that vitality. Even my Eye of Destiny can't see anything unusual!"

Lin En withdrew his claws and scales, rubbed Qiu'er's head, and smiled with a trace of regret.

"Yeah, but it's a little unfortunate. I can fuse different bloodlines, yet I can't take it a step further."

"I can combine the White Tiger and the Hell Spirit Cat, but I can't create a Hell White Tiger, because that isn't fusion. It's evolution."

Qiu'er took the initiative to rub her large head against Lin En's palm. The fluffy sensation made Lin En feel that nothing in the world could be happier than this.

"Don't worry, Partner. There'll always be a way in the future."
