Chapter 1356: Changing Talents

“Since you can withstand my primordial aurora, I’ll let you experience the power of your so-called companion. She can forcibly alter the bloodline rules of any human life form. Even if you possess the bloodline of a flawless angel, her light can turn you into an ordinary person in a matter of minutes.”

After speaking, the creature suddenly transformed into a black streak of light, soaring skyward and merging with the power of the red-clad female envoy, guided by a single point of light.

In essence, he forcibly seized the red-clad female envoy’s original talent, replacing his own power with hers. Sure enough, when he unleashed the power of light again, the previously purple-black light pillar had turned blue.

This meant that all the talent and power he now wielded were inherited from the red-clad female envoy.

“I want to see how you withstand this girl’s talent. She is the most exceptional being among our race. At one point, she could have even become the leader of our entire Lost race, but unfortunately, she gave up that opportunity. Today, I will make her regain her original memories and become the true king among the Lost once more! As long as she can completely purify the bloodline power within you and absorb a portion of its essence, she will surely awaken her lost soul.”

The word ‘Lost’ seemed to bring Xu Yang great enlightenment. He deeply gazed at the masked female envoy, who was in a deep sleep, and then refocused his attention on the scheming creature before him.

“Don’t try to twist concepts here. This girl’s destiny is her own. I won’t allow anyone else to forcibly interfere, and that certainly includes you. Even if you truly meant well for her, you would never forcibly steal her inherent power in such a manner. As her captain and her leader, I naturally have a duty to protect her safety. If you dare to wield her power in front of me, I will ensure your irreversible demise.”

Xu Yang’s words were filled with power. Following this, he seemed genuinely enraged, stepping into the air. Behind him, an incredibly transparent golden light quickly coalesced.

As this subtle light appeared, Xiao Hua below revealed a brilliant smile.

“It seems your boss is truly serious this time. He will not allow any of you to fall on the battlefield of the Far North Wilderness. Open your eyes wide and watch; this is one of your boss’s true trump cards.”

The incantation of the Law of Light descended once more, and an endless golden radiance, under Xu Yang’s immensely powerful mental control, burst through the air. The advent of the Law of Light completely disrupted the rhythm of the royal powerhouse before him. For the first time, he felt his crown truly shaken in Xu Yang’s presence.

This incredibly intense light was overwhelmingly sharp and powerful, leaving him utterly bewildered on how to confront or control it. It seemed that this light-attribute power was precisely the best means to counter his opponent.

Soon, a portion of the Law of Light’s runes completely entwined around the purple-black powerhouse, causing the unique energy exclusive to the Outer Realm Lost on his body to begin melting.

“How is this possible? You, a mere human, can wield the power of laws! Who are you? A being of this strength should not exist in a world like Yingzhou Continent. Are you a god from the Greater World?”

Xu Yang scoffed, “You are not worthy to question my identity. Do not expect any information from me until you reveal all secrets regarding the Lost. Of course, you may also choose to say nothing and perish by my hand.”

The impact and destruction caused by the power of light on the creature exceeded Xu Yang’s original intentions. He had only intended to teach him a lesson, but once his Law of Light fully enveloped the creature, everyone noticed signs of melting under the scorching light. Indeed, the purple-black energy attached to his outer body was truly liquefying.

This energy was, in fact, the unique gifted outer shell of their Lost life forms. In other words, while this energy enveloped his outermost body, it wasn’t considered part of their fundamental life force.

At most, it was a medium that endowed them with offensive capabilities. As the purple-black energy completely melted, the true life form of the Lost appeared before everyone. It was a massive humanoid monster, nearly three meters tall, covered in unique fur. Its hands and feet resembled those of a giant ape, but its face was exceptionally fierce.

“How is this possible! Could this be the so-called Behemoth Evil Beast recorded in the ‘Compendium of All Things’?” Xiao Hua’s mention of the ‘Compendium of All Things’ immediately caught Xu Yang’s attention.

This book, once renowned in the Greater World as a divine work documenting the most types of life forms from outer realms, meant that any creature described within it was undoubtedly a rare, top-tier predator from those worlds.

The name ‘Behemoth Evil Beast’ was not new to Xu Yang. However, he had never truly witnessed what an ‘evilized’ Behemoth Evil Beast looked like. It was only after Xu Yang used his Law of Light to refine away the energy shell covering the creature’s body, revealing its true form, that he finally understood how astonishing this creature’s physical attributes were.

“Hahaha, boy, you are the first to make our race reveal its true form in the world of Yingzhou Continent. Even the gods who created this Greater World couldn’t achieve such a feat.”

Xu Yang sneered, “It seems I underestimated your race’s combat potential. The energy shell I just refined away was merely an outer layer; it didn’t harm your fundamental life force. Perhaps when Yun Wangji established the rule system for the entire Yingzhou Continent, he didn’t intentionally overlook you. Instead, he had no way to completely eradicate your life bloodline, so he settled for a compromise, granting you a chance to survive on this continent and forming a peace agreement with you. Am I correct in my assessment?”

At Xu Yang’s rhetorical question, the opponent chuckled, unable to resist a slight nod.

“You are indeed exceptionally clever. It seems impossible to hide anything from you. In that case, I will tell you a part of the Lost’s secrets.”
