Chapter 584: Chapter 462 Fusion

Wu Xiaode was somewhat nervous.

Seeing his uneasy appearance, Ya instead calmed down.

"It’s okay, we can escape after waiting a little longer,"

she said.

The Array Plate transmitted continuous spatial fluctuations.

—The entire space of the underground world was restricted, unable to use Transmission Skill.

However, this type of restriction was an affront to those existences deep within the ground

They were bound to break the restrictive array!

All he needed to do was wait calmly for a while, then he could activate the Transmission Skill to return.

That was one thing, another was—

Li Long was dead.

Vermilion Bird was dead.

The golden winged bird was dead.

He needed to quickly accept their manpower to strengthen his own forces.

Ya began scheming continuously in her heart.

Little Wu stood by the side, not speaking, just wiping the cold sweat from his forehead again.

He had just thought of something very dangerous.

In the plundering of demons, a part had gone to the Death World to hunt down Heroic Spirits, while another part stayed in the human world, intending to intercept the only hope left by the various Laws.

Even the city he went to, the City Lord was a plundering demon.

With the strength of plundering demons, detecting various battles in this world should not be difficult.

Why hadn’t he seen them?

Or had the plundering demons already arrived, just hiding in the shadows?

He had been too careless just now.

If a plundering demon suddenly appeared from the shadows, that would be incredibly troublesome.

Wu Xiaode even felt a bit frightened.

"Blood Youth,"

he transmitted his voice.

The environment inside the cave was cramped, and Blood Youth was crouching on the rock wall above Wu Xiaode’s head, ready to assist him at any time.

"What is it, master?" Blood Youth asked.

"If we really encounter a sudden situation, just protect me once, and I’ll let you leave," Wu Xiaode said.

Upon hearing these words, tears almost fell from Blood Youth’s eyes.

Big brother, why didn’t you say this earlier?

—You let me go, but your wife won’t let me leave!

"Understood, I will try my best,"

Blood Youth said, sounding disheartened.

Suddenly, a clear sound came from the Array Plate.

"The spatial restriction has been lifted, we can go now!"

Ya’s expression brightened, and she quickly formed seals with both hands over the Array Plate.

This time, the spatial fluctuations emerging from the Array Plate flowed smoothly, evidently about to take shape—

Wu Xiaode suddenly spoke:

"My lord, I have something important to report."

Ya’s hands paused on the Array Plate.

In an instant, all the spatial fluctuations around them dissipated.

"Speak, White Wolf,"

Ya said.

—This time, she too had survived thanks to White Wolf, and although his strength wasn’t strong, his Divine Skills were very useful, so his words were worth paying attention to.

Wu Xiaode carefully said, "I was thinking, if I were a hunter, I would definitely set a trap when opening the spatial restriction and quietly wait for the prey to appear."

Ya thought for a moment, then immediately nodded and said,

"That makes sense. Space Magic is infinitely mysterious, it is possible that the moment we transport, we could be immediately captured by some kind of Space Magic."

She glanced at White Wolf again.

They say that wolves are cunning—

This wolf is capable!

Ya was no longer in a hurry to transport and leave.

After all, knowing that this place was frequented by many great demons, once other demons teleported over, it would immediately confirm whether there were spatial traps.

Now, there was only one thing to do.

Wait.

Since there was plenty of time...

Ya set the Array Plate aside, scanned Wu Xiaode from top to bottom, and shook her head, saying:

"White Wolf, your Divine Skill is extremely rare; it’s a pity that your strength is too weak, you must focus on improving your strength."

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I also want to increase my strength, but unfortunately, I do not have any outstanding teachings at my disposal, and thus have always struggled to advance,"

Wu Xiaode said, mimicking White Wolf’s tone of voice.

He remembered that while Zanjin was alive, everyone envied the guards who could receive personal guidance from Ya in their cultivation.

But from what he had seen, whether it was Li Long, Vermilion Bird, or the golden winged bird, none were a match for the evil beings in the temple.

Ya’s strength was comparable to several great demons.

What could she teach him?

Wu Xiaode thought secretly.

However, he saw Ya pondering for a moment before speaking:

"You have accompanied me in exploring the underground ruins this time and collected two headless statues for me. Since there’s nothing else at the moment, let me give you some guidance."

"Thank you, my lord," Wu Xiaode bowed and said.

Ya instructed him to sit cross-legged, and she sat opposite him, continuously forming seals with her hands.

She began,

"For human and demon cultivators, each realm has a strict upper limit on Soul Power."

"Low-level cultivators lack sufficient Soul Power and cannot defeat high-level cultivators."

"Unless—"

"They acquired some kind of Divine Skill during their tribulation."

"Divine Skills can ignore realms and display extremely powerful capabilities—"

"Just like your treasure hunting and escaping debts."

Wu Xiaode knew she had more to say, so he sat still, listening attentively.

Only to see Ya’s expression turn serious as she solemnly said:

"I possess a Divine Skill that can peer into the Heavenly Dao, manifesting the supreme will of the Martial Arts, descending upon oneself to guide beings in their cultivation."

"Is it a Divine Skill?" Wu Xiaode asked, surprised.

"Indeed, anyone I guide benefits immensely, but this kind of guidance comes with a condition," she explained.

"What condition?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Merit,"

Ya further explained, "Without sufficient Merit, once I activate the Divine Skill, it will first torture and beat you until your karmic obstructions are completely eliminated, and then provide guidance."

"And if the Merit is sufficient?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I will properly guide you, and the content will be stronger and more suited to you," Ya replied.

Blood Youth suddenly jumped down and whispered in Wu Xiaode’s ear:

"Master, we have struck it big this time."

"Divine Skills and the Art of Causality are different; they are the special emergence of special laws from unique worlds, definitely no less than the law of Causality."

Wu Xiaode couldn’t help but be enlightened.

Treasure hunting could only be said to be a talent, the basic sprouting of an "emergence."

The Strategic Transfer Master was an art of Causality, also an "emergence," thus Ya treated it as a Divine Skill.

Thus—

Wu Xiaode’s heart filled with a bit of anticipation, and he respectfully said, "Please assist me, my lord."

Evil Phoenix asked,

"Do you actually have any Merit? If your killings have been too excessive, I fear that once I activate my Divine Skills, I might end up killing you directly. Even if you don’t die, being crippled or knocked unconscious means you won’t receive any guidance."

Wu Xiaode glanced at his own Merit.

points.

That number seemed quite substantial.

— Getting to know Ya had only cost him 1 point of Merit.

Upon seeing this number of Merit, even the Feeding Demon Master would halt his Magic and ask what his task was.

That being said, this number wasn’t small.

Once Evil Phoenix activated her Divine Skills, she should properly guide him.

"I shouldn’t end up unconscious, please proceed, master," he said.

Wu Xiaode bowed with his hands clasped together.

"If that’s the case, then let’s begin," Evil Phoenix nodded.

She formed the final Dharma Seal with her hands.

Soul Power was urged forward, and the Dharma Seal was instantly activated!

Evil Phoenix’s form wavered slightly, slowly lowering her head and exhaling deeply, then became motionless.

Deathly silence.

Wu Xiaode waited a few moments but couldn’t resist asking, "My lord?"

Evil Phoenix continued to hang her head, unresponsive.

Blood Youth whispered, "Her heartbeat has stopped, her breath has completely vanished, and her Soul Power is nowhere to be found—it appears she is dead."

"How could she die? Wasn’t she activating her Divine Skills?" Wu Xiaode couldn’t help asking.

"I’m not sure, it’s too strange, I have never seen such a thing before..."

Blood Youth pondered aloud.

While they were discussing, several lines of ice crystal characters suddenly appeared:

"The Queen Mother of the West has awakened at this moment, calculating your Merit in advance."

"According to your agreement with the Queen Mother of the West, you earn 1 point of Merit per day."

"The Queen Mother has paid another month’s Merit."

"Your current Merit points are:"

"181 points."

All characters retracted.

Before Wu Xiaode could react, he saw Evil Phoenix suddenly raise her head.

"My lord..."

As Wu Xiaode was about to speak, he was completely stunned.

Evil Phoenix used her hand to grasp her own chin and forcefully tilted it upwards—

Her head tilted back like a hat being tipped over.

Her entire body, like a layer of shell or a cape, was directly lifted behind her.

Another woman emerged from the "skin" of Evil Phoenix.

This woman had beautifully defined features, serene yet distinguished, and she lightly said to Wu Xiaode:

"Your number of Merit points warrants my personal appearance."

Wu Xiaode looked over at her shoulder.

The head of Evil Phoenix dangled like a rubber toy on her shoulder, her body limp like a piece of skin, gently draped behind her.

Even Blood Youth was astonished, gaping.

What kind of Divine Skill was this!

How did she suddenly produce another person out of nowhere?

"May I ask who you are—" Wu Xiaode inquired.

"You need not worry about who I am. If you wish to enhance your strength, you need to meet me in true form," the woman said.

"True form?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes, your Divine Soul is human, so meet me as a human, and I can guide you—don’t worry, Evil Phoenix won’t know." the woman explained.

"How will you guide me?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"You have sufficient Merit, and as a virgin male, you can merge with me, and I will assist you in entering the Tao," the woman said.

Wu Xiaode froze.

Merge... why use that word?

In other words, as long as one has enough Merit, they have to merge with her?

Isn’t that too—

He uncertainly looked at Blood Youth.

"Hey, Blood Youth, what’s going on?"

Wu Xiaode whispered tensely.

Blood Youth kept a poker face, but his heart was already rejoicing.

Fantastic, fantastic, heaven helps me as well!

If the male master messes around outside, it will surely upset the female master.

Once the male and female masters split, the female master surely won’t force him to protect the male master anymore.

— Wouldn’t that mean freedom is within reach?

Should he facilitate this matter?

Blood Youth maintained his composure and advised, "Master, I think it’s worth a try."

"But she mentioned merging, does that mean all those with such Merit have to merge?" Wu Xiaode expressed his doubt.

Blood Youth was even more delighted internally.

The male master has picked such a scandalous partner, the female master will definitely be furious!

He needs to record this moment.

"Oh, master bla, be careful with your decisions, it matters," Blood Youth advised earnestly.

Wu Xiaode felt something off about Blood Youth.

— This guy has a belly full of bad water, not trustworthy at all!

Even being cautious, this kind of guidance is unacceptable!

"Sorry, I might not need your guidance after all. Let’s forget about this matter," Wu Xiaode said.

"It can’t be forgotten. I have already used your Merit," the woman stated indifferently.

Wu Xiaode was startled and quickly looked at his own value panel.

Merit—

It had returned to zero!

How could this be!

All the hard-earned Merit!

Before Wu Xiaode could further ponder, the woman continued:

"No one has ever had such a substantial amount of Merit. With this Merit, I can use Supreme Reincarnation Power to merge with your Divine Soul, allowing you to self-reflect, purge flaws, and comprehend the truth."

"Fine, I’ll adjust your true form!"

Her fingers formed a sword, and she pointed from a distance at the forehead of Wu Xiaode.

In an instant.

White Wolf disappeared.

A young man appeared in front of the woman.

— This was Wu Xiaode’s true form!

The woman’s lips curled into a faint smile as she softly said:

"Six Paths True Skill, swift."

Wu Xiaode felt an immensely grand and vast power colliding with his Divine Soul.

Ice crystal characters then appeared:

"Divine Soul Fusion begins!"
