Lin Zichen shattered the void and appeared behind Su Meixiao, swinging a fist coated with the force of Blood Qi Power, and with a might that seemed to destroy heaven and earth, he slammed it into Su Meixiao's head.

Su Meixiao, with her keen senses, detected Lin Zichen's attack almost instantly.

However, Lin Zichen was too fast, leaving Su Meixiao no time to dodge.

Quickly, only a loud "bang" was heard.

Lin Zichen's fist heavily struck Su Meixiao's head, the powerful impact instantly turned her entire body into a mist of blood.

Seeing this scene, the other experts all changed their expressions drastically, their faces filled with disbelief.

This man had just evolved into a Mythical Level Creature and was already able to kill an established Mythical Level Creature with a single punch, how was this possible!

Lin Zichen paid no attention to the astonished gazes of the crowd; the moment Su Meixiao turned into a mist of blood, his mind moved and he thought, "Devour!"

[You have devoured a large amount of the "Nine-Tailed Fox Demon's" Life Origin and gained the Biometric Attribute "Tail Shed Escape"]

[Tail Shed Escape: When you sustain lethal damage, you can discard some of your useless body to be reborn.]

[You have devoured a large amount of Origin Force from the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, converting Origin Force into Qi-Blood and Spirit. Both your Qi Blood Strength and Spiritual Strength have greatly increased.]

[Your Biological Level has successfully evolved from "Mythical Third Order" to "Mythical Fourth Order"]

He evolved again.

Indeed, devouring was the quickest way to evolve.

Lin Zichen looked at his own Biological Level, now elevated to Mythical Fourth Order, and felt a slight thrill in his heart.

On the other side.

The Mythical Level Experts present were each showing a look of terror.

They all sensed that Lin Zichen had evolved again.

In just a few minutes, he evolved from a Legendary Level Creature to a Mythical Level Creature and then from a low-order to a middle-order Mythical Level.

The speed of evolution was outrageously fast.

"This child cannot be allowed to remain!"

The Lord of Silence from the Wood God's faction, deviating from his usual lifeless tone, exclaimed excitedly, "He can devour other creatures' Origin Force to evolve himself, posing a threat to all living entities!"

"If we allow him to evolve like this, we will all inevitably be devoured by him sooner or later!"

"We must deal with him first!"

"..."

With these words from the Lord of Silence, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Lin Zichen's performance was too exaggerated, posing too great a threat to other creatures, causing the other Mythical Level Experts present to feel somewhat uneasy.

A creature that could grow stronger by devouring other creatures.

According to the law of survival of the fittest, those weaker than him were doomed to become his food.

At this moment, both Earthling and Origin Land's Mythical Level Experts were wary of Lin Zichen, thinking that a creature with the ability to devour others should not exist in this world.

"Let's take action and kill him first, then continue the great battle."

Seeing the Earthling experts waver, the Lord of Silence immediately urged.

Elder Li and Sima Xuan from the Earth side both fixed their gazes on Lin Zichen, a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.

Both believed the Lord of Silence had a point.

Lin Zichen's devouring ability was too dangerous for other creatures.

If Lin Zichen were allowed to continue devouring, it wouldn't be long before all the Mythical Level Experts present were devoured to nothing.

Although it was cruel and despicable...

For their own evolution, every creature would likely make the same choice.

Therefore, Lin Zichen's existence needed to be dealt with first.

It needed to be resolved now.

Otherwise, once the battle between the two realms ended, by that time Lin Zichen might have evolved significantly more, and dealing with him would not be so simple.

On the other side, Xuanyuan Wanyu and Qi Qingmo were also watching Lin Zichen.

The former slightly furrowed her brows, hesitant, unsure what decision to make for a moment.

Deep inside, she agreed with the Lord of Silence.

But thinking that Lin Zichen was an Earthling, she felt she should not take action against him.

Meanwhile, Qi Qingmo also had myriad thoughts.

However, she wasn't like the others, wrestling over whether to strike at Lin Zichen.

Instead, an epiphany struck her heart; she finally understood why Lin Zichen could evolve so swiftly.

It turned out that Lin Zichen possessed a biometrical attribute of devouring evolution, which allowed him to evolve as easily as drinking water. He had started his life in easy mode, evolving into a Mythical Level Creature at the mere age of twenty.

Not far away.

Lin Zichen, sensing the murderous intent around him, furrowed his brows and thought to himself that he had been careless.

Previously, upon encountering a fallen Mythical Level Creature, he had, driven by the urgency to devour, momentarily forgotten to hide his ability to devour and evolve from other creatures, blatantly exposing it in front of many powerful beings.

This carelessness had now put him in the difficult position of being a public enemy.

"Take action, kill him!"

The Lord of Silence said to Elder Li and Sima Xuan of the Earth side, seeing the murderous intent in their eyes, knowing they would definitely join him in striking.

"Buzz!"

As the words fell, the Lord of Silence's figure flashed instantly, shrouded in a sky-obscuring black mist as he attacked Lin Zichen.

Seeing this, Elder Li and Sima Xuan exchanged a look, then simultaneously mobilized the Qi-Blood in their bodies, ready to join the Lord of Silence in dealing with Lin Zichen.

One reason was that Lin Zichen was a great threat and for their own safety, he must be eliminated no matter what.

Another reason was that Lin Zichen had killed Su Meixiao, and as her beloved, they had hatred in their hearts, and now they could rightfully kill Lin Zichen for revenge.

Based on the above two points, emotionally and rationally, Lin Zichen deserved to die.

However, before Elder Li and Sima Xuan could move towards Lin Zichen, Qi Qingmo had already transformed into a streak of light and charged out.

The next instant, only a loud "bang" was heard.

The Lord of Silence, who was rapidly attacking Lin Zichen, was instantly blasted into a large cloud of blood mist by the rushing Qi Qingmo, his life force rapidly fading, on the brink of death.

But quickly, under the effect of Everlasting, the blood mist began to regroup with incredible speed.

However, just as the flesh began to reform, Qi Qingmo struck again with another palm, shattering him on the spot, physical and spiritual forms both destroyed, causing celestial phenomena.

"Quickly devour!"

After killing the Lord of Silence with two palms, Qi Qingmo immediately urged Lin Zichen.

Stay connected with empire

She was different from the other powerful beings present.

She believed in Lin Zichen's character and wasn't worried that once Lin Zichen grew powerful, he would even devour her.

Across from her, Lin Zichen didn't speak, but silently thought to himself, "Adoptive mother, receive my bow," then swiftly flashed in front of the Lord of Silence's mist, touching it and thought, "Devour!"

[You have devoured a great amount of "Extremely Yin Ominous Being's" Life Origin, gaining the Biometric Attribute "Extreme Yin Body"]

[Extreme Yin Body: In dark environments, your strength can increase significantly.]

[You have devoured a great amount of Origin Force from the Extremely Yin Ominous Being, converting the Origin Force into Qi-Blood and Spirit. Both your Qi Blood Strength and Spiritual Strength have greatly enhanced.]

[Your Biological Level has successfully evolved from "Mythical Fourth Order" to "Mythical Fifth Order"]

His Biological Level evolved again.

Mythical Fifth Order now.

Lin Zichen felt a surge of excitement within.

Evolving several levels in a short period of time, and at the Mythical tiers, gave him a tremendous thrill.

In contrast, the other Mythical Level Experts present all furrowed their brows, their faces showing unease.

He evolved again!

This twenty-year-old Earthling, had actually evolved to Mythical Fifth Order!

If left unchecked, he would eventually surpass any of them present!

At this moment, all the powerful beings present looked solemn, sensing a huge threat from Lin Zichen.

Among them, Elder Li, Sima Xuan, Xuanyuan Wanyu exchanged looks, each pondering whether to take action against Lin Zichen.

Now that the Wood God's faction was down to just the Wood God and Elder Tree, they were no longer a cause for concern.

The greatest threat had now become Lin Zichen, who could devour and evolve.

Qi Qingmo, sensing what those three were thinking, spoke with a hint of warning, "I will always stand with him; if you think of taking action, you better think it through."

Her trust in Lin Zichen far exceeded her trust in those three.

She and those three had all survived from that era and knew exactly what sort of character they all had.

People from that era who could evolve to Mythical Level creatures, none were docile; all were ruthless.

Including Qi Qingmo herself.

She had sacrificed many living beings to smoothly evolve to the supreme Mythical Level, her hands stained with blood.

And those three from her own era had done similar deeds.

Therefore, compared to Elder Li, Sima Xuan, and Xuanyuan Wanyu, she was more willing to trust Lin Zichen's character and chose to stand with him.

Seeing Qi Qingmo so strongly supporting Lin Zichen, Xuanyuan Wanyu and the others felt somewhat puzzled.

With their understanding of Qi Qingmo, at this time, she should have been the first to attack Lin Zichen.

But the reality was, not only did Qi Qingmo not take action against Lin Zichen, but she also firmly stood on the same side as him.

This choice was completely inconsistent with her usually cold and ruthless personality.

Could it be… these two had some sort of unspeakable relationship?

Xuanyuan Wanyu and the others suddenly thought of this, suspecting Qi Qingmo and Lin Zichen had a romantic relationship.

Subsequently, Xuanyuan Wanyu, Elder Li, and Sima Xuan all hesitated to make a rash move.

Under the suppression of Domain Power, creatures like them, who relied on Origin Force as their fundamental energy, had their strengths significantly reduced.

While creatures like Qi Qingmo, who relied on Blood Qi Power as their fundamental energy, were unaffected.

In this situation, even if Elder Li, Sima Xuan, and Xuanyuan Wanyu joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Qi Qingmo, and might even be defeated one by one by her.

Just as the atmosphere on the scene grew somewhat stagnant.

The Water God, who had been silent all this while, spoke in a cool voice:

"Our priority right now should be to take care of the Wood God and Elder Tree ahead."

"By taking down the Wood God and preventing His fantasy of Five Elements Unification, neither Earth nor Origin Land will be destroyed."

"Besides that, everything else can wait until after this matter is dealt with."

"..."

As the Water God spoke these words, Elder Tree's face turned deathly pale, his heart filled with utter despair.

While the leading Wood God remained utterly calm, showing not a hint of emotion.

"Buzz!"

A sharp sound of air tearing suddenly erupted.

Qi Qingmo's figure flashed, turning into a streak of light that charged towards Elder Tree ahead.

Elder Tree wanted to flee, but his strength had been weakened by the suppression of Domain Power, creating an insurmountable gap between him and Qi Qingmo, unable to withstand her charging attack.

Very soon, only a loud "bang" was heard.

Elder Tree, unable to dodge, was directly smashed into countless wooden chips by Qi Qingmo, his life force instantly depleted, falling on the spot.

Simultaneously, celestial phenomena filled the entire sky, and all woods withered.
