Recently, besides absorbing the Energy from the Celestial Fragrance Fox Tailbone, Ice Glaze had been studying various illustrated books related to Buddha.
This made the Frost Buddha Guanyin that Ice Glaze condensed using the Basic Skill, Ice Jade Fox Sculpture, even more vivid and lifelike.
They were far more solemn and dignified than the great Buddha statues in the temples of Zhong Yi’s past life.
Five ice crystal figures of Buddha and Guanyin, each a different size, sliced at the strands of hair with Treasure Artifacts forged from ice and snow in their right hands.
While deploying the Exclusive Trait, Extreme Ice Force Field, Ice Glaze was also using the Exclusive Trait, Elemental Ice.
It converted the surrounding Elements into the Ice Element and released a large amount of liquid-state hard ice through the Skill, Cold Ice Dance Ripples.
When the liquid-state hard ice touched the white hair, it instantly froze large swaths of it solid.
Hong Ji commanded her four War Puppets while nimbly weaving through the strands of hair, rapidly closing in on Xie Liansi.
Hong Ji’s Basic Skill, Battle Skill Mastery, seemed simple. It allowed her to observe her target during combat.
She could then integrate the target’s combat techniques and instincts into her own fighting style.
This Basic Skill made Hong Ji a master of techniques, capable of learning the instincts of living creatures and various combat skills.
By now, Hong Ji had fought in more battles than she could count.
In the Second Level Divine Wood Secret Realm, Hong Ji had learned the combat instincts of many different species.
This gradual, imperceptible improvement to her strength was Hong Ji’s greatest advantage.
Using Xie Liansi’s attack as an opportunity, Zhong Yi decided to test the Defense Ability of his Golden Mayfly and Crystal Seal Star Bee.
Zhong Yi deliberately exposed himself to the assault of hair.
The elite Sub-Worms hatched by the Golden Mayfly Mother Insect formed a layer of Shuo Gold Armor over Zhong Yi’s body.
Using its Basic Skill, Golden Body Aggregation, the Golden Mayfly Mother Insect condensed a perfect spherical shield around Zhong Yi, covering a three-meter radius with no blind spots.
Zhong Yi had been continuously providing the Golden Mayfly Mother Insect with sufficient materials.
Having quietly bred its swarm for over a month, the Golden Mayfly Mother Insect now controlled a swarm of over 15,000.
Although each strike from the white hair against the shield formed by the Sub-Worms killed a portion of them, thanks to the Exclusive Traits Metal Dissolving Reinforcement and Mental Gold Condensation, the Sub-Worms could dissolve the special metals they absorbed while simultaneously using the bodies of their fallen comrades to temporarily boost their Spiritual Power.
This allowed Zhong Yi to effortlessly withstand the attacks from the white hair for at least four minutes.
If not for the Piercing Rule embedded in the strands of hair, the Golden Mayfly Mother Insect could have easily held out for twenty minutes.
Meanwhile, the Crystal Seal Star Bee had already used its Skill, Female Bee Servant, and a large amount of Queen Bee Magnetic Paste to cultivate two new mothers that could help it breed sub-bees and produce more paste.
The Crystal Seal Star Bee could now control over 2,600 sub-bees.
The Crystal Seal Star Bee directly sacrificed five sub-bees, using the Magnetic Force from their bodies to form a Magnetic Shield.
About every twenty seconds, the Energy Shield created by one sub-bee would be shattered.
But after this Energy Shield was broken, the shield formed by sacrificing the sub-bee would rebound half the damage from the hair in the form of a Magnetic Wave.
The Magnetic Wave spread out over a radius of several dozen meters, shredding large amounts of white hair.
Xie Liansi consumed her own Energy to generate and fight with her white hair.
None of Xie Liansi’s three abilities allowed her to recover Energy during a battle.
Xie Liansi had not anticipated her opponent being so difficult to handle.
It was one thing that she couldn’t get the upper hand against either of his two summoned Guardian Beasts, but when she mobilized a huge amount of hair to attack the Guardian Beast Master himself, she couldn’t even break through his defenses.
In all her previous battles, Xie Liansi had almost never encountered such a situation.
If she couldn’t even break through his defenses, there was no way for her to use Hair Net Killing to drain his Energy and strangle him to death.
The Fern Bones created by the Fern Bone Puppet, Hong Ji’s Bone Element War Puppet, churned wildly amidst the strands of hair.
It soon tangled large clumps of hair together.
The dark red blood vessels released by the Blood Thread Puppet wrapped around the hair and yanked violently.
The immense force sent a dull ache across Xie Liansi’s scalp.
Hong Ji had the Ice Robe Hidden Scorpion coordinate with Ice Glaze, while the Decaying Mist Owl occasionally sprinkled down mist imbued with a Curse Ability from high above.
With Zhong Yi not deliberately trying to end the fight quickly, the battle dragged on for a full fifteen minutes before it was over.
Xie Liansi exhausted her Energy, no longer able to generate hair with her Bloodline.
Exhausted, Xie Liansi collapsed to the ground and was tightly bound by the blood vessels of the Blood Thread Puppet.
Watching Zhong Yi approach, Xie Liansi felt like she was facing a monster.
Throughout the entire battle, Xie Liansi had been assailed by a constant feeling of helplessness.
Just then, a clear and resonant voice sounded by her ear.
"Your strength isn’t bad, and the Rule you’ve mastered is quite compatible with your fighting style."
"However, your journey in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm ends here."
"Remember to log into the Virtual Source Network and find me here after the Secret Realm ends."
Zhong Yi then recited the number for the Soul Fighting Bar.
After he finished speaking, Zhong Yi had Hong Ji shove a Soul Taming Seed into Xie Liansi’s mouth.
After confirming that Xie Liansi had absorbed the Soul Taming Seed, Zhong Yi nodded to Hong Ji.
The blood vessels of the Blood Thread Puppet binding Xie Liansi rapidly tightened.
In a few moments, Xie Liansi’s Life faded, and she dissipated into nothing within the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.
The battle had attracted the attention of many nearby contestants.
After confirming that none of them possessed a purple Fate Grid, Zhong Yi had Hong Ji and Ice Glaze eliminate them.
So far, Zhong Yi had eliminated eight opponents in this Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, yet he had gained less than thirty points of Divine Origin Value.
For Zhong Yi, an income of Divine Origin Value this low could only be described as better than nothing.
On the fourth day, Zhong Yi discovered that two of the three targets affected by Lan Po’s Weaving Dreams had died in succession.
These three targets, who had been initially affected by Lan Po’s Weaving Dreams, had long since become capable of releasing Nightmares of their own.
However, before these two targets died, their Nightmares had failed to affect the one who killed them.
This gave Zhong Yi pause.
’To have such strong Spiritual Defense Ability, it’s highly likely they possess a purple Fate Grid.’
At present, only a dozen or so participants were left alive in this Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.
Zhong Yi had now reached the core area of the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.
Zhong Yi saw a huge lion, nearly four meters long, hunt down and kill the last person who had been affected by Weaving Dreams.
The giant lion’s body was covered in mysterious runes, clearly a product of Magic Power.
This reminded Zhong Yi of the few races in the Demon Spirit Ecosystem capable of creating products of Magic Power.
Those few races happened to be the major races within the Demon Spirit Ecosystem.
This Lion-shaped Beast Puppet was crafted from various metal materials, Crystal Stones, and mysterious runes.
It strongly resembled the Demonic Puppets created by the Artifact Race that Zhong Yi knew of.
Lin Xu had once heard from Luke that a Hall Master of the Liuren Demon Hall came from the Artifact Race.
Within the Realm’s ecosystem, it wasn’t just Guardian Beast Masters who could form a Contract with other creatures.
Xie Liansi, for example, had formed a Contract with a Needle-tailed Scorpion.
However, the vast majority of Bloodline Users lacked the Ability to form Contracts with other creatures.
But these Bloodline Users could still use the Demonic Puppets created by the Artifact Race.
They used the Demonic Puppets of the Artifact Race as a type of weapon.
Under the watch of Wooden Gaze, the giant Lion-shaped Beast Puppet killed two more opponents.
Watching the recent battle, Zhong Yi couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
The Lion-shaped Beast Puppet won that battle with extreme ease, but this didn’t necessarily indicate how strong the controller inside the Lion Puppet was.
’Rather, the Lion Puppet itself is extremely powerful!’
Different races had to follow different Rules when entering the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.
For instance, when Zhong Yi entered the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, he couldn’t use any Guardian Beasts that had reached the Fantasy Tier.
