[The ultimate knowledge secret art that Rona had been preparing for a long time is released with astonishing power.]

[Jealousy and Gluttony hurriedly step forward to defend together. If Lust alone were left to resist it, then this great succubus would probably have fallen here.]

[Only by combining the strength of the three great Demon Overlords do they barely manage to block the terrifyingly powerful spell.]

[When the raging power of the spell finally subsides, Rona collapses weakly to the ground. Clearly, this extremely powerful strike has already exhausted all her mana…]

[Lust pats its chest, still looking shaken. Seeing that Rona no longer has any power to resist, it steps forward, picks up the enemy, knocks her unconscious, ties her up tightly, and hands her over to you.]

[The battles on the other side with the other Demon Overlords had long since ended. The two badly wounded Starrealm Envoys are captured, and what awaits them is torture.]

[Greed gives a sinister cackle and assures you that it will force the location of the Polar Star Society headquarters out of the two captives.]

[At this time, the battle to surround and kill the Polar Star Society has temporarily come to an end. You loudly announce to the many Demon Overlords…]

[Humans are, in the end, an unreliable foreign race. After these Polar Star Society humans cast themselves into the embrace of the Stars, they still could not conceal their evil nature. They secretly slaughtered demons and stepped over the corpses of demon clansmen in pursuit of greater power.]

[The Polar Star Society is not an ally of the demon race. They too are evil enemies!]

[Today, the demon race surrounded and killed the Polar Star Society, executing more than a dozen Starrealm Envoys, yet allowed the Polar Star Society’s leader, the Executor, to escape.]

[In the name of the Abyss Child, you swear that you will surely kill the Executor and avenge all the demons who died miserable deaths!]

[The many Demon Overlords all shout loudly and repeatedly chant your name.]

[The Demon Shaman knows that you are going to subject the unconscious female Starrealm Envoy to severe interrogation and force information about the Polar Star Society from her, so it thoughtfully leads you to a sleeping chamber.]

[Though called a sleeping chamber, it is actually just a relatively spacious and clean cave.]

[Of course, this is not meant to slight your status. The demon race has long dwelled in the underground Abyss. Aside from necessary sacrificial grounds and sanctuaries, all other aspects of daily life are conducted within caves.]

[You carry the unconscious Rona to the deepest part of the sleeping chamber cave…]

[Just as you are about to do something, you suddenly see a head secretly poke out from behind you. It turns out Lust has somehow quietly followed you here.]

[Seeing that you have noticed it, Lust simply walks openly before you and says, Lord Abyss Child, this human woman clearly looks inexperienced. It worries that you will not enjoy the interrogation enough, so it boldly came here…]

[Lust bites its lower lip and stares straight at you as it continues, after all, having one more person would make things livelier…]

[You are also quite interested in this great succubus, but clearly this is not the right time. You promise Lust that another day will do, then wave it away.]

[Very soon, the cave is left with only you and the unconscious Rona…]

[The ropes on Rona’s body were tied by Lust. For all one knows, this great succubus may have done it on purpose, because the way the ropes are bound is extremely suggestive, outlining the woman’s full, alluring figure in perfect detail.]

[The Rona in your memories had always worn a loose mage’s robe. You never expected that the body hidden beneath the robe would be so enticing…]

[Do you wish to wake Rona immediately and meet her frankly face to face?]

Lin Xun had always harbored doubts about Rona joining the Polar Star Society.

Back in Chapter Four, Rona had acted entirely like a devout believer of Omniscient True Knowledge, so how had she ended up joining the enemy faction by Chapter Seven?

Moreover, the fact that the Executor could bring Rona along to explore the Abyss meant that Rona held no low status in the Polar Star Society. She was one of the Executor’s trusted confidants.

There was definitely some secret hidden behind Rona joining the Polar Star Society.

But he did not immediately wake Rona. Before that, there was a more important matter to deal with.

Lin Xun opened the Inventory and clicked on the Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence within it.

[Do you wish to use the Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence (Mythic+ Grade Item)?]

[Your current Shell, Abyss Horned Demon, does not meet the prerequisite for using this item. Forcing its use will greatly reduce the item’s enhancement effect.]

[Do you still wish to continue using it?]

There were quite a few Shells in the Shell Slots that met the prerequisite of ‘powerful flesh.’ Among them, the one most compatible with the item was the little dragonkin Shell.

Lin Xun thought for a moment, then switched to the little dragonkin Shell.

He did not click use immediately, but instead activated the little dragonkin’s Hermit Bloodline skill.

[You possess the Shell of the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit!]

[You tightly grip the glass bottle in your hand, sensing the blood essence of the five dragon progenitors within…]

[The Hermit power buried deep within your bloodline gradually awakens. The shriveled bloodline is unbearably thirsty, wanting to devour all items containing remnant dragon bloodline power to strengthen itself.]

[In the unseen, the bloodline of your Hermit body and the Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence resonate in a strange way…]

[You can sense that within the blood essence there are fragments of memory belonging to the five dragon progenitors. So long as you successfully devour it, you will be able to draw related memories from the blood.]

[Do you wish to devour the Five Great Ancient Dragon Blood Essence (Mythic+ Grade Item)?]

“As expected, devouring it with the little dragonkin’s Hermit Bloodline is the correct way to use it.”

Lin Xun was full of anticipation for what would happen after gathering the blood of all six dragon progenitors.

[You open your fang-filled mouth toward the five-colored blood inside the bottle. The bloodline power contained within it turns into strands of flowing light and is drawn into your body…]

[Devouring…]

[The horns on your skull become thicker and thicker, the fangs in your jaws sharper and sharper, and the mighty dragon might of the Hermit race spreads from your Shell…]

[Because your accessory possesses the related special effect Flesh Growth, when your skills require accumulating relevant values before they can be used or advanced, having this special effect will unconditionally double the accumulation speed, this enhancement efficiency will be doubled this time!]

[As the strength of the Hermit Bloodline in your body rises steadily, continuously increasing from legendary grade quality…]

[The Shell Quality of the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit has increased to legendary+ grade!]

[…]

[The Shell Quality of the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit has increased to mythic grade!]

[…]

[The Shell Quality of the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit has increased to mythic+ grade!]

[…]

[The Shell Quality of the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit has increased to…]

[When the Hermit Bloodline rises to mythic+ grade, you seem to touch the sealed power of the six great ancient dragons…]

[The Omniscience Authority of the great existence suppresses and restrains the power of the six great ancient dragons, causing it to remain forever sealed at the level of top demi-gods. Unless the seal is undone, it can never recover to the immortal and eternal realms.]

[You too are suppressed by the Omniscience Authority and restrained at the mythic+ grade realm, unable to continue advancing.]

[You clench your claws tightly, unwilling to be suppressed just like this…]

[You attempt to use the Flesh Authority to oppose it…]

[Your control over the Flesh Authority is too low to contend against the Omniscience Authority of the great existence!]

[Advancement halted!]

[The final Shell Quality of the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Hermit is mythic+ grade.]

Lin Xun let out a regretful sigh.

Even though he had used the cheat-level authority of the Flesh Authority, the power behind the seal was provided by his own main god’s Omniscience Authority. No matter how strong his cheat was, it still could not take effect.

“The Wet Nurse’s Flesh Authority is still a bit lacking… no, that is not the right way to put it. My own control over the authority is too low.”
