Chapter 909: Chapter 752: Breaking the Strange

Wang Zijia had no idea what would happen if his opponent broke free, but if this divine soldier was truly the Illusion Master, once it escaped this plot-induced death, it might completely transform, and cause the entire Mysterious Domain to further mutate as well.

It would be a standard promotion for the Mysterious Domain!

Wang Zijia had no intention of probing any further. While the divine soldier was entangled by numerous tree roots and struggling in the water, Wang Zijia released a Sword Light slash.

"Whoosh, gurgle, gurgle..."

As bubbles swirled, Wang Zijia swiftly cut through the tree roots entangling the Profound Immortal divine soldier.

However, before the divine soldier could rejoice, the human skin that Wang Zijia had transformed into had already enveloped him.

The Profound Immortal divine soldier’s complexion underwent drastic changes, and his Immortal Yuan surged, but it was already too late.

The moment he broke free from the constraints of the tree roots, the human skin had completely cloaked him.

This time, Wang Zijia felt something different.

Inside his body, the divine soldier wrapped in human skin did not wither; instead, it swelled slightly.

His tongue protruded, his whole body was swollen and turned purplish, with pus appearing on the surface of his body.

He seemed to have turned from a peerless Immortal God to a stinking, bloated corpse that had drowned.

During this process, the human skin had also severed the connection between the corpse and the outside world. This time, Wang Zijia distinctly felt it was the entity itself providing support to the Mysterious Domain, not the Mysterious Domain sustaining the entity!

Clearly, this was the Illusion Master, without a doubt!

"Splash!"

"Weng!"

As the corpse changed, the entire Mysterious Domain also began to undergo a drastic transformation.

The ubiquitous Weak Water vanished without a trace.

"Clang, clunk..."

The Immortal Gods who had been moving, fighting, and slaying enemies in the water a moment ago immediately stiffened.

They quickly turned into mummies and fell to the ground.

The ground below no longer resembled the bloody battlefield, but had turned into a strange, dried-out, rotten mudflat.

Everything around, as if in the blink of an eye, had undergone countless millennia of the ravages of time, rapidly deteriorating and falling into ruin.

The mummies that fell onto the cracked swamp mudflats with their various items began to rapidly dim, decay, and fall apart.

In the blink of an eye, what had been a lively scene of an ancient battlefield a moment before now became a relic that had been ravaged by an immense length of time.

The air itself was filled with the scent of decay.

Not far off, the giant tree that the Tree Demon had transformed into had also rotted away greatly, with a dozen odd mummies still hanging from it.

The original Illusion Master should have been among them.

As a result, the Tree Demon’s body and the mummies hanging from it, likely influenced by the Illusion Master, were now considered the most intact corpses on the entire battlefield.

Inside his body, the bloated corpse of the Illusion Master sank back into consciousness amidst the Mysterious Domain collapse, somehow regaining a primitive, animal-like instinct and began to struggle within Wang Zijia’s body.

That’s right, struggle!

In the case where the Balanced Scale power passively extended, after being enveloped by the human skin, this completely controlled Illusion Master was still putting up a bit of a struggle as if there was something within its core resisting.

This gave Wang Zijia a slight shock, and sparks of keen interest flickered in his eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, to prevent further complications, Wang Zijia did not continue to study this eerie entity. He tightened his flesh, and directly put an end to this Wicked Ghost Illusion Master’s life.

As the Illusion Master died completely, that strange resistance within its body quieted down.

Wang Zijia’s body squirmed as he ejected the Illusion Master.

At that moment, the Illusion Master’s body was swollen, seeping pus all over, and its once intact body had been segmented into several parts by Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia distinctly felt that what had drawn him earlier was within the body of the opponent.

Or to be more precise, it was the Mysterious Domain Core nurtured by this Illusion Master that had attracted him to anchor himself in this Mysterious Domain.

Moreover, his perception told him that this Mysterious Domain Core was rather unique, and did not seem traditional. It wasn’t like the shape-shifting Guile, typically birthing some bead or utensil.

It was...

Wang Zijia looked at the Illusion Master’s corpse with an odd expression for a moment, then tentatively activated the Entering the Coffin Tao Law.

Little sparks of Spiritual Light flowed in, easily and successfully initiating the coffin-entrance effect on the corpse!

Countless gleaming light spots flew out from the corpse, eventually converging into a peculiar light group above the body.

This unique object nurtured by the Mysterious Domain turned out to be neither an utensil nor a material, but the corpse’s Extraordinary Characteristics!!!

As all the light spots extricated themselves, the gleaming light group gathered slightly, turning into a fist-sized, Prajna Cloud Cluster-like milky white object.

Wang Zijia tentatively sensed it and felt it contained very peculiar, high-end power. Moreover, this thing seemed to be overly sentient, as if it were alive.

Before Wang Zijia could examine it closely.

"Weng!"

His Innate life magic treasure, the False Dao True Book, and the Broken Armor Molten Lava Armor emerged simultaneously.

His Innate life magic treasure, now an Immortal Artifact-level, possessed strong Spiritual Wisdom.

Likening to a child, it rubbed against Wang Zijia incessantly, conveying affection and displaying a keen eagerness.

This behavior was the first of its kind since it had become an Immortal Treasure.

"You mean you want this thing?"

Upon hearing, the book spread open its pages, wrapping around Wang Zijia’s hand like arms and rubbing against it persistently.

"You want to eat this thing?"

"A grand opportunity?"

As he communicated vaguely with the book, Wang Zijia glanced at the light groups and then at the book, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Seeing this, the Magma Demon Armor, which had also emerged, quietly subsided, probably understanding that it couldn’t compete with the book for favor, and besides, that thing was more suitable for the book.

Wang Zijia did not immediately allow his Innate life magic treasure to do anything. Instead, with a thought, Major Ugly emerged.

Now, the bond between him and his Innate life magic treasure was extremely deep. If there were any issues, he would not suffer lightly.

As for the Five Ghosts, being Art Spirits derived from Wicked Ghosts, they’d find it hard to die as long as Wang Zijia lived.

They were the perfect test subjects; even if something went wrong, at worst they’d just suffer a bit.

In this regard, the Five Ghosts were professionals!

...

Within his train of thought, Wang Zijia extracted one of its extraordinary characteristics. Seeing this, Big Baby, who was already well-acquainted with the process, immediately knew what to do.

Without any hesitation, he swallowed the thing in one gulp.

Weights: Earth Spirit Origin

Status: Undergoing strange changes

Value: 32

Description: There are treasures in the world, born Innately, known as Spirit treasures. Later came monks, who comprehended the Great Dao and acquired the methods of refining. Through cultivation, they would eventually reverse what is acquired to what is Innate, pioneering the artificial practice of refining Spirit treasures.

The Earth Spirit Origin can forge the foundation for space-type Immortal Treasures, granting them the potential to ascend to Spirit treasure status. However, due to its strange changes and years of nurturing in the Mysterious Domain, the characteristics of the treasure born from it will have certain aberrations.

...

After seeing the specific information about this thing, Wang Zijia’s mind was somewhat at ease.

As for the uncontrollability of the characteristics that it births and their possible aberrations, Wang Zijia wasn’t too worried. If all else failed, he could just get rid of it.

Thus, after a slight hesitation, Wang Zijia permitted the Innate life magic treasure to proceed with its devouring action.

With Wang Zijia’s permission, the False Dao True Book directly approached the light groups.

The strange cloud-like light groups, upon contact with the book, quickly spread and began to merge slowly.

Only then did Wang Zijia have the chance to carefully examine his surroundings.

At this moment, the surroundings had truly become a devastated battlefield, with the stench of decay pervading the entire Mysterious Domain.

Furthermore, Wang Zijia clearly felt that with the disappearance of the Illusion Master, the entire Mysterious Domain was also slowly dissipating, and it would probably vanish in at most half a day.

"Master, there are so many bones!" Major Ugly couldn’t help but say, his words vague and his mouth drooling.

Wang Zijia looked at Major Ugly, who was trying hard to resist his gluttony, and gave him an annoyed glance.

Although decayed severely, and most only left with some bone fragments, this was, after all, a super battlefield. What remained was still of great value.

With a thought, Wang Zijia’s body began to wriggle rapidly, with bundles of flesh and blood flying out, transforming into numerous identical Wang Zijias.

Spreading in all directions.

As Wang Zijia dispersed, pages of the book began to fly back rapidly.

Some pages depicted decayed corpses and bones, while others showed incomplete armor and broken weapons.

Upon returning to Wang Zijia’s side, the pages expanded, turning into piles of junk.

The Five Ghosts appeared, gazing longingly at the pile of Immortal bones and corpses, slobbering as if they were seeing chocolate, swallowing saliva constantly.

Wang Zijia, seeing this, gave most of the junk to the Five Ghosts and Major Ugly. He first attempted to condense inheritance from the slightly more intact skeletons, but after confirming that their Dao Charm had dissipated, he gave up.

In the end, he only kept some top-grade items, such as the body of the Tree Demon; everything else was given to the Five Ghosts and Major Ugly as food.

They all ate with a satisfying crunch!

As for the broken utensils, Wang Zijia didn’t overlook them either.

Although most of them had become scrap, their Spiritual Wisdom rapidly ebbing, the materials were still good.

During the third and fourth eras, resources were abundant and belonged to Dao Court equipment, which if intact, would be considered Treasure Material even today.

Therefore, Wang Zijia commanded several avatars to melt these miscellaneous items into a liquid of materials, which merged with the transforming Innate life magic treasure, serving as resources.

In the entire Secret Realm, countless Wang Zijias constantly scavenged, eagerly picking through the trash, reliving his old livelihood in every inch of the forbidden land.

...

After half a day, when Wang Zijia had nearly finished picking through the ruins, his actions paused slightly.

Next to him, the Five Ghosts, having consumed an unknown amount of Immortal bones, finally completed their final accumulation.

From their plump white bodies began to waft dark fog.

Out emerged the unique Wicked Ghost Immortal Yuan.

At the same time, the bodies of the Five Ghosts started changing incessantly, one moment transforming into a Magic Sword, the next into a small seal, then turning into a Long Spear...

Amidst their changing forms, they surrounded Wang Zijia at the center, continuously spinning around him.

The connection between Wang Zijia and the Five Ghosts became even more tightly interwoven and, as a result of the Five Ghosts’ Immortal transformation, Wang Zijia’s cultivation was also pulled upward, leaping a great distance!

"Value +100 billion!"

Cultivation: Earth Immortal Middle Stage

Dao Cultivation: 40,000 years (400 billion/600 billion)

Looking at his cultivation, Wang Zijia was quite pleased with the unexpected windfall.

After a moment, the Five Ghosts finally finished their Immortal evolution and stopped changing rapidly, returning to their human forms.
