Just as Ye Yongsheng was lost in thought—

"Buzz!"

A sudden, urgent breaking sound pierced the air.

It was Lin Zichen attacking once again.

The recalibrated Lin Zichen transformed into a crimson streak of light brighter than before, charging at Ye Yongsheng with an unstoppable force.

Ye Yongsheng wanted to dodge, unwilling to clash head-on with Lin Zichen at full firepower.

Unfortunately, now burdened with various debuffs, whether reaction speed or dodging ability, all was significantly reduced. He simply couldn't evade Lin Zichen, who was as fast as lightning.

Left with no choice, he had to abandon any attempt to dodge Lin Zichen's full-strength strike and opted to stand his ground and shield himself, preparing to harden himself against Lin Zichen's attack.

The next instant—

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering collision resounded once more.

This time, a better-conditioned Lin Zichen held the absolute advantage, engulfing Ye Yongsheng with an overwhelming Blood Qi Power and sending him flying with a punch.

"Boom!"

Another loud bang followed.

Ye Yongsheng, blasted away by the punch, smashed heavily into the sea aflame with crimson fires and sank to the ocean floor.

As he sank, the severity of his various debuffs rapidly intensified.

His Qi Blood Strength and Spiritual Strength were plummeting swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, his Biological Level slid to Legendary Seventh Order, then to the Great Perfection of Legendary Sixth Order, and further regressed to Legendary Sixth Order.

He officially deteriorated from a High Order Legendary Creature to a Middle Order Legendary Creature.

His power greatly diminished.

He became the weakling and ant he once looked down upon in his former days.

"It was indeed his attack that caused this!"

"How did he manage to do this?"

"He is clearly a Pureblood Human, without a trace of Alien Race genes in him. How can he possess so many unique Biometric Attributes?"

"What secrets are hidden inside his body?"

"I must take possession of this body!"

As Ye Yongsheng sank to the ocean floor, his mind raced with urgency, his eyes filled with desire.

The incredible physique of Lin Zichen, unbelievably strong, held a fatal allure for him, making him obsess over it, constantly craving to take possession through Soul Possession.

Just as he yearned desperately—

"Thud!"

A massive sound of water breaking erupted.

Lin Zichen, now a red streak of light, dove into the sea with boundless Blood Qi Power, rapidly descending following Ye Yongsheng's trail.

He intended to finish off Ye Yongsheng while he was down, giving the traitor no chance to recover and to prevent any unexpected developments.

Ye Yongsheng, already descended thousands of meters, sensed Lin Zichen rapidly diving down to deliver the coup de grâce.

In response, Ye Yongsheng smirked with a hint of resentment, "You forced my hand."

With that thought, he quickly tapped his chest three times.

Each tap carried a small amount of Blood Qi Power and spiritual power, as if activating something.

Right after the third tap the next instant.

A drop of long-sealed Essence Blood within the deep recesses of his mutated colossal heart began to stir vibrantly, revitalizing.

This was a drop of Essence Blood from the Mythical Level Creature, the Night King.

It was his reward from the Night King for having schemed against a Legendary High Order expert of the Human Race, who had the potential of a myth, and having accomplished a great feat.

It was Essence Blood personally condensed by the Night King himself.

A creature that merged with this drop could temporarily possess the strength of the Night King.

Possess the strength of a Mythical Level Expert.

The cost was, the mutations occurring in one's body during the process might not be completely reversible afterwards.

Moreover, there was a certain risk during the fusion.

The physical body might not withstand the immense energy contained in the Essence Blood, leading to the body bursting apart.

As the Night King's Essence Blood was activated.

Very soon.

The Essence Blood of the Night King transformed into warming currents, swiftly flowing through Ye Yongsheng's entire body, fortifying every cell within him.

Under the enhancement of the Night King's Essence Blood.

Ye Yongsheng could clearly perceive his Biological Level escalating rapidly.

Great Perfection of Legendary Sixth Order.

Legendary Seventh Order.

Eighth Order.

Ninth Order.

Mythical First Order...

In just a blink of an eye, Ye Yongsheng's Biological Level had evolved from Legendary Sixth Order to the Mythical Level he had long dreamed of.

The biological pressure emanating from his body was unprecedentedly powerful.

Just by silently hovering in the water motionless, he automatically created a Life Forbidden Zone around him, pushing away all life forms within its range.

At the same time, all the previous negative states on his body vanished.

All that remained was a formidable energy so potent that it was entrapping.

"Is this the power of a Mythical Level creature?"

"Good, really good."

"Such fascinatingly formidable strength."

Ye Yongsheng's face was covered with a sinister smile, and the aura emanating from his body bore a resemblance to that of the Night King, becoming more similar as time passed.

Elsewhere.

The rapidly diving Lin Zichen immediately sensed that the strength of the aura emanating from Ye Yongsheng was unusually strong, with his [Danger Perception] constantly throbbing.

Something's wrong!

This traitor's state is very wrong!

MUST NOT get close to him!

Lin Zichen acutely realized this and instantly turned tail and fled without a second word.

With the augmentation of [Blessing of Melting Water] and other water-related biometric attributes, his speed was like a shooting star; in the blink of an eye, he covered dozens of miles underwater, widening the distance from Ye Yongsheng.

He didn't choose to break through the water to flee by land or air, but traveled at high speed all the way on the seabed.

There are many obstacles on the ocean floor and energy is mixed, which can affect perception; it's better suited for desperate flight.

"Futile escape."

Ye Yongsheng muttered expressionlessly. Read exclusive adventures at empire

Then, with just a thought, his massive body instantly transformed into a pitch-black streak of light, chasing after the fleeing Lin Zichen at a speed fast enough to break through the void.

Ahead.

Lin Zichen was diving extremely fast.

His body nearly dissolved into the water, advancing at tens of miles per second.

Just when he thought he could smoothly escape to safety—

A force so powerful it could terrorize all living beings suddenly appeared close behind him.

Before he could react to what was happening, this force surged above him, and a huge beastly claw reached down and grabbed at him ferociously.

Lin Zichen instinctively tried to dodge.

But the claw struck so swiftly that before he could even move, it had already grasped him, binding his body as tightly as handcuffs would.

Next, a horrifying upward pull suddenly burst forth, propelling him towards the surface of the sea.

"BOOM!!!"

A thunderous sound that pierced the sky exploded.

Ye Yongsheng, who had evolved to Mythical Level and completely transformed into one of the Alien Races, grabbed Lin Zichen with one claw and broke through the surface of the water, hanging high in the air.

Lin Zichen frantically surged his Qi-Blood and spirit, pushing his power to nearly reach the Great Perfection of Legendary Eighth Order, trying to break free from the grasp of Ye Yongsheng's claw.

However, even so, he was unable to escape in the slightest.

A Mythical Level creature is too powerful, simply beyond what a Legendary Level creature can resist.

As a result, he was possessed by the Night King.

The Night King, who had been killed by Qi Qingmo before, was reborn.

Lin Zichen couldn't defeat him.

He was killed at the first encounter.

Rebirth in flames.

The Night King saw the profundity, was somewhat shocked, then Great Dark Sky and extinguished the fire.

Lin Zichen escaped into the depths of the sea.

Deep under the sea, Lin Zichen saw a fragment of the Palace of Water God.

What's going on?

Wasn't the Palace of Water God in Han Han's Sea of Consciousness?

Elsewhere.

Shen Qinghan was also stunned.

She actually saw Lin Zichen in her own Sea of Consciousness.

...

...

In Shen Qinghan's Sea of Consciousness.

Lin Zichen was being chased by the Night King.

Controlling the Palace of Water God, he killed the Night King who had revived in Ye Yongsheng's body.

Lin Zichen chose to head towards City Number 36 in the Southern Domain.

City Number 36, connected to Shanhai City.

Worried it won't hold.

Yuan Dongzhi had just recovered and joined the battle.

Many people were present.

Yuan Dongzhi, Liu Chuanwu, Song Yuyan, and others.

Yuan Dongzhi was gravely injured, not yet fully healed.

In the sky above the Central Region, the sounds of a great battle were heard from time to time.

A towering tree reached through the clouds.

At this moment, outside City Number 36, a great battle was underway.

The feeling was that the city couldn't hold out.
