Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

It has evolved... Chen Qi thought to himself.

Ada spread her arms, and merely with spiritual power, she could float in the air.

"Holy Beast, I feel your gift! Your might!"

He landed on the marble floor of the Holy Beast's Residence, his waist and back tensed, the muscles of his entire body bulging as he slammed the chains in his hands.

"Ice Flower Unlock. Thorn Chain!"

The two chains transformed into two giant thorn serpents in mid-air, opening their blood-red mouths and lunging at Chen Qi.

"Trouble, it's the liberation of the Thorn Family!"

Erin urgently reminded from the ground.

The Thorn Chain is the family's famed liberation; once hit, vines would endlessly sprout from the body.

However, with the strength buff of the Ember Beast's power, Ada's speed had already approached the peak of a Fourth Rank Transcendent.

There was no retreat anymore... Chen Qi crouched down, relaxing all the muscles in his body:

"Escape into the Darkness."

Instantly, his entire body softened like a black candle, turning into a mass of writhing shadow.

The core body technique skill of the Great Shadow Demon, 'Escape into the Darkness', transforms into writhing shadows melding into the dark, immune to all physical attacks for a period!

Using the moment when the two chains collided.

Chen Qi traversed through the darkness, his body emerging from the writhing shadow, wielding a blade to slash at the strengthened Ada.

Boom!

Ada raised her right hand high and caught Chen Qi's Black Blade empty-handed:

"You don't think the Holy Beast's blessing to me is merely simple spiritual power, do you?"

Wait... Chen Qi faintly sensed something amiss in the atmosphere.

Besides the expansion, Ada's spiritual power origin was also changing!

More precisely, his Fourth Rank profession was changing.

Ada's Fourth Rank profession was called The Bound, a career that exchanges strength at the cost of arduous self-discipline.

This is a powerful profession where anyone who can endure pain, hunger, disdain, and other hardships can have both high spirit and strength.

Relying on his unique eccentricities, Ada played the profession's strength to ninety percent.

However, his inner rage and delight prevented him from performing Spirit Power Sublimation of the Ice Phase to reach the limits of The Bound profession.

Simultaneously, due to the profession's shackles, he couldn't advance to the Fifth Rank.

Ada looked at Chen Qi and shouted loudly:

"Damned offering, if I weren't a bound being now, but a tree man of the Cup Flower Phase, you'd be dead!"

Soon, beside Ada's body, a semi-phantom mirror slowly emerged—

In it, reflecting a scene:

The young Ada was making the decision of his professional path, and after hesitating, did not choose the bound being, but a profession more fitting for him—the Cup Flower Phase!

Parallel dimensions... Chen Qi blinked.

As the 'Ada of the past' in the mirror chose the Cup Flower Phase profession, the Ada in reality really changed dramatically like he said.

Ada's back elevated highly, with numerous green roots growing out of his body, resembling a muscular bear.

This wasn't the chaotic change of the Dice Phase, but a more High Rank power from the origin of the crack.

The Ember Beast continued:

"Hunter... this move is called Residual Fire Blessing..."

"This is... a miracle that can materialize a possibility of oneself!"

Miracle... Chen Qi's pupils shrank, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes, gradually understanding the unique power of the Ember Beast.

The power of the Ember Beast wasn't merely strengthening or weakening.

Simply put, the Ember Beast's power can summon 'oneself from a parallel dimension or mirror world,' thereby transferring that self's power to one's current self.

However, at this moment, Chen Qi had little time to analyze this power.

"Die!"

Having received the blessing of the Ember Beast, Ada no longer used chains but swung his fists like a grizzly bear!

The treeman among the Flower Phase profession had the strongest melee combat capability!

Absolute strength and constitution!

Boom!

Chen Qi crossed his blade to block, shaking his heart.

His hands grew heavy, his breath rapid and difficult.

Meanwhile, tiny seeds fell onto his skin.

His body rapidly weakened.

Parasitic Seeds!

During the recent attack, Ada sneakily sowed the smiling seeds.

"This is it! I'm unstoppable! I'm invincible!"

Ada descended into madness.

It's time... Chen Qi cried out in his heart, seizing the opportunity.

In front of him, Ada's strength had already approached the Fifth Rank.

The Great Sage Potion 'Deep Sea Source', the highest tier of Dark Sacrifice!

Chen Qi drank the Great Sage Potion, offering all his spirit and flesh to the infinite darkness.

[Warning! Your body is undergoing complete Shadow Demonization!]

Chen Qi ignored it.

Continue the sacrifice!

In this ultimate battle, he didn't need to consider any side effects.

Suddenly, his body swelled, enveloped in raging black flames.

All over his body, except for black, only the beast-like blood red remained in his eyes!

During this period, Chen Qi's strength and constitution expanded fourfold.

"Qi..."

In the distance, the small crow watching the fight swallowed a mouthful.

Chen Qi's battle completely disregarded the consequences!

The effect hasn't ended yet!

The Great Sage Potion's Deep Sea Source's power rampaged within him, causing the dark flames on his body to burn wildly, and more than fifty thick dark tentacles grew from his back.

"Indeed, this writhing feeling behind is still comfortable!"

Chen Qi spat out a mouthful of black air.

Using the power of Shadow Demonization, he once again gathered Ember Touch on his back!

"Waku Waku (Master!!)"

After taking the potion, Water Elf One also erupted with dazzling golden spiritual power, brimming with strength.
