Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

Ding!

A crisp notification sound echoed in the darkness.

A line of glowing numbers appeared, rapidly shifting until they stopped and changed into a single letter.

"A-"

It paused for several seconds.

A prompt rune began to appear below the letter:

"Detected strong evil power fluctuations from the major collapse area, source locked:"

"A-grade Evil Object: Skeleton."

"According to the sound waves it emitted, its words were:"

"Kill you."

"The current situation has been fully reported."

Around this line of glowing text, shadows started to appear one by one on the seats.

Someone exclaimed:

"This is impossible, why would the evaluation of an A-grade Evil Object drop to 'A-', could there be a mistake?"

The glowing text did not respond.

A female voice haughtily said, "Nothing is impossible in the world. Didn't you hear its words?"

Sarina!

Her expression was icy, but a hint of indescribable pleasure flashed in her eyes.

"Even when teleported before 'Skeleton', he didn't die, instead 'Skeleton's strength fell by a grade."

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you now understand how foolish 'Jiuyao' is?"

"Oh, I see some of you look puzzled, so let me tell you."

Sarina slightly curved her lips, revealing the answer:

"My subordinate originally belonged to 'Jiuyao', but such an outstanding combat-type mysterious life, 'Jiuyao' decided to kill him to maintain its so-called merit system."

"Tsk."

"I won't say more. You can judge for yourselves."

Once Sarina finished speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared into the void.

Everyone immediately began to discuss.

Many quickly exchanged information, trying to figure out the whole matter.

—Could a mysterious life weaken an Evil Object, dropping its strength significantly?

Never heard of it!

How did they accomplish it?

The secret here must be uncovered!

On another side.

Supreme Evil Demon Pillar.

In a certain world.

Wu Xiaode's expression suddenly paused.

"What's wrong?" Wang Lingxiu asked.

"Shh."

Wu Xiaode made a gesture for silence, reached out his hand, and grabbed into the endless darkness.

At this moment he was in the "Burning God" state, with black beams of light shooting up around him like waterfalls.

Wang Lingxiu held her breath and waited.

Wu Xiaode's hand groped in the darkness as if he had caught something and slowly retracted.

In his hand appeared a dark sphere.

"When I'm in this combat state, I can perceive all the evil thoughts targeted at me."

Wu Xiaode whispered, crushing the dark sphere.

A piercing, endlessly sinister voice followed:

"Kill you—"

This was Skeleton's voice!

It seems to have completely awakened.

It will surely come for revenge.

"Xiuxiu, is it difficult to come over here from the Death Land of the Three Paths?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

Wang Lingxiu said, "First, it needs to find that specific coffin, then see through my maze, and finally reach here and find us among the endless coffins on the Demon Pillar."

"So it's very difficult?" Wu Xiaode said.

"Very difficult for all beings, but I am not sure what abilities that Evil Object may have," Wang Lingxiu frowned as if recalling something, "many unbelievable things become very simple in the hands of Evil Demons."

"Looks like we can't be careless... let's go." Wu Xiaode immediately stood up.

As he moved, the gorilla, Dutch Pig, and white horse also moved right away.

"Master, are we setting off?"

Liu Xing asked, wiping oil from his mouth.

—Just now Wu Xiaode had taken out quite a bit of food, letting them eat to their heart's content.

"Set off!"

Wu Xiaode said.

Looking back—

With that Evil Object dying at Liu Xing's hands, the entire city was completely destroyed.

—No one survived.

According to Liu Xing, that Evil Object used the lives of all beings in the city to block its mace before dying.

But it didn't succeed.

Wu Xiaode sighed.

Luckily, he had transformed these several evil existences from Skeleton; otherwise, it would have been nearly impossible to bring Wang Lingxiu through here!

The group moved grandly, soon leaving the city behind.

Wang Lingxiu slipped the second card into Wu Xiaode's hand.

Wu Xiaode knew it was the Supreme Evil God Pillar construct card and instinctively plugged it into the Evil Spirit Book.

Wang Lingxiu returned to the front of the group to lead the way.

Everyone followed her through several forked mountain paths, reaching a deserted station for a short rest.

After half an hour.

Wang Lingxiu chose a road from the junction outside the station, guiding everyone along it.

"Is it okay?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Don't worry, this road allows us to skip nineteen evil-transformed worlds, making it difficult for pursuers to catch up," Wang Lingxiu said confidently.

Another half day's journey.

Ahead, there suddenly appeared an endless river.

Though called a river, as the people approached, they realized it was an endless expanse of hair.

All the hair seemed to have a consciousness of its own, surging freely.

Looking out, the black hair stretched across every corner of the view, like an ocean.

White Prince stepped forward to have a look and clicked his tongue:

"Difficult! Difficult!"

"Indeed, difficult," Da Zhuang also shook his head and said, "There's a sleeping giant lying here, and its hair cannot be touched, or you'd surely die."

"I don't think I can defeat it," Liu Xing said sullenly.

"Disciples, can't we just fly over?" Wu Xiaode shrugged.

All three disciples turned their heads to look at him.

Liu Xing coughed lightly and said, "We can fly over, but Master, you have a mortal human body, and getting close would alert its true form, and we'd all be finished."

"I could carry Master over, but the human aura on Master is a significant problem," White Prince also remarked.

Wu Xiaode and Wang Lingxiu exchanged a glance.

"That's easy to handle."

The cloak flared up, shrouding the two of them.

The three disciples looked at each other, falling into contemplation.

"It's not impossible—though I should teach Master a spell, it might be helpful."

Liu Xing said.

Wu Xiaode was stunned, then jubilant.

Before becoming its master, seeking to learn an Evil Demon's magic from it only returned the phrase "Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! True Skills reside in the mind, desiring to discern comes lost in words."

Now as its master, the magic shall be passed.

This monkey—

No, this ape indeed values relationships differently.

"Disciple, I'm human, if you teach me, won't I undergo Evil Transformation?"

Wu Xiaode asked again.

—Evil Transformation is indeed a big problem.

Now it's up to Liu Xing to solve this issue.

Sure enough, Liu Xing scratched his head thoughtfully:

"This is indeed a big problem. I need to think about how you can learn this magic without undergoing Evil Transformation."

At this moment, perhaps neither Wu Xiaode nor Wang Lingxiu realized.

It's letting an Evil Demon contemplate converting Evil magic into a form humans can accept.

—This was unprecedented in all of history and time.

Many things seem ordinary at the time.

But only after they happen, when looking back through endless ages, is it realized how astonishing an occurrence it was.

After roughly seven or eight hours.

Liu Xing suddenly spoke:

"Got it."

"Speak quickly, disciple, Master will surely learn well." Wu Xiaode said.

"Humans cannot possibly use Evil magic; otherwise, they will inevitably experience Evil Transformation. But what if it's a tool utterly unrelated to humans?"

Liu Xing muttered to himself and continued:

"Tools could also allow humans to be tainted by Evil nature, so it must be an extremely unique tool."

His expression became extremely serious, and he formed a Dharma Seal with both hands, aiming at Wu Xiaode's forehead.

"Use a profoundly powerful sealing method to seal this magic within an object humans can accept, thus enabling human mastery—"

"This is the only way humans can use Evil magic."

The words fell.

Liu Xing's handprints moved.

Wu Xiaode suddenly felt a dense flow of information emerge in his mind.

This information was scattered, fragmented, useless, and so would not affect Wu Xiaode's Divine Soul in any way.

Yet—

Once Wu Xiaode fully received it, he instinctively released Evil Spirit Power, sketching in the Void.

He was drawing something randomly.

The dark Evil Spirit Power twisted into a ball, showing no discernible pattern.

"What's he doing?"

Wang Lingxiu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry," Da Zhuang interjected, "everything he's doing has nothing to do with Evil magic, quite the opposite actually."

"Opposite?" Wang Lingxiu queried.

"Yes, completely opposite; it's to ensure his safety." White Prince also said.

Wu Xiaode quickly traced dark lines.

—Fortunately, in the "Burning God" state, he could harness endless Evil Spirit Power, or his Soul Power would have already been depleted by now.

After several dozens of breaths.

Wu Xiaode stopped his hands.

A mass of paste-like dark light lines emerged in the Void.

"What is this?"

Wang Lingxiu asked curiously.

Wu Xiaode said: "It's nothing, but if we turn it around—"

His hands exploded with layer upon layer of dark light, and he forcefully slapped that cluster of material.

Slap!

The mass of chaotic dark lines immediately flipped.

—It was a card!

Only to see the card reveal itself in black and white, densely packed with mysterious white runes trapping a black silhouette at the card's center.

In an instant.

On the Evil Spirit Book appeared rows of bronze small script:

"You have created a card absolutely unique in all of history, named:"

"Sealed Nightmare Night."

"An unprecedented item, a rare sealing attribute card, the only hidden type Evil skill card."

"Description: Using this card will unleash genuine Evil Power, allowing Evil Transformation entities, Evil Objects, and Evil Demons to recognize you as a Nightmare Body among Evil Objects, thus avoiding attacks."
