Chapter 374 The Stolen Illusion, a God Entering the World! (Bonus Chapter 413)

The illusory body itself doesn't have Chen Xin's strength; if it were to pounce directly, it would be too slow.

Therefore, Chen Xin directly used his ability to communicate with spirits to make his illusory body flash to the location of that 'needle'.

Although the teleportation was fast, the 'needle' also reacted quickly.

The needle disappeared the moment the illusion appeared.

However, the line is still there!

Chen Xin had his illusionary body grab the thread, but unfortunately, it did not trigger the "Complete Guide to Suppressing Objects".

"Isn't the thread the core of that thing?"

The moment Chen Xin had that thought, he realized that he could no longer sense the hand holding the thread in the illusion!

Not just the hands, but the entire arm!
Not only could she no longer sense it, but the phantom's hand, still guided by the thread, grasped the stitched-up heart.

Then, the red line disappeared.

At this time, Chen Xin also regained control of the Phantom Arm.

Raising my hand and looking at the beating heart in it, a sense of absurdity washed over me.

Even though the heart wasn't Chen Xin's, and the illusion was just a paper doll, these two things were forcibly sewn together.

It wasn't a simple stitching; it was as if the heart was originally part of the phantom's hand.

This bizarre ability had already impressed Chen Xin, but the truth was more than that.

Because Chen Xin discovered something!

The illusionary body can now use the mind-controlling power of the Ghost Heart lineage through the heart in its hand!

"Is this the power of 'assimilation'?"

No wonder the five lineages of Ghost Slave have the idea of ​​creating a body for 'assimilation'. With this ability, what can't be 'assimilated'?
Just as Chen Xin was shocked by the power of 'assimilation', his expression suddenly changed.

Just now, he lost his perception and control over his illusory body again—not just an arm, but his entire body!

Although Chen Xin's consciousness remained within the illusory body, it was merely consciousness, capable only of observation.

His phantom body was unable to execute any of his commands.

Chen Xin wanted to summon his illusory body back, but he stopped before he could do so.

It's just an illusion, and 20,000 merits are enough. If it can help me understand the process of 'assimilation', that would be good.

With that thought in mind, Chen Xin suppressed the urge to watch and continued reading.

Soon, the illusionary body began to move right under Chen Xin's nose.

Chen Xin didn't notice any awkwardness in that body; it moved just as smoothly as before.

To an outsider, the illusionary body at this moment might appear to be the same as the illusionary body from before.

"Is the heart controlling the illusion right now, or the 'assimilation' that just disappeared, or is the assimilation controlling the heart and the illusion?"

Just as Chen Xin was making his guesses, he suddenly saw the illusion's body turn into black mist and instantly move a distance forward.

Chen Xin's eyes widened in surprise!

A connection to the underworld!

The opponent actually used the illusion to unleash the Netherworld Technique!

How can it be!

Could it be that things that have been 'assimilated' will have all their memories acquired?
In that case, does He already know of His own existence?
Or... could He summon the "Complete Book of Tranquilizing Objects"?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Chen Xin dismissed it.

If He knew of the existence of the "Complete Book of Tranquilizing Objects," His first reaction would be to flee, not to control the illusion.

Therefore, the power of 'assimilation' should only remain on the surface, that is, acquiring 'the inherent abilities of things themselves', and does not involve memory.

However, what is certain is that within the illusory body, the wisp of Chen Xin's soul has also been 'assimilated'.

Otherwise, how can we explain His ability to control the illusory body and manipulate the seal?
Fortunately, it was just an illusion.

If this is Chen Xin's original form, then the current Chen Xin might not be Chen Xin anymore.

Just as Chen Xin was shocked by the ability to 'assimilate', things changed again.

The missing 'needle,' which is 'assimilation,'... has reappeared!
To Chen Xin's astonishment, the 'needle' pierced the heart in the palm of the illusionary body.

No, that's not right!

Chen Xin sensed something and his expression froze.

The needle didn't pierce the heart, but rather passed through it and entered the opened space in the palm of the illusionary body's right hand!
Chen Xin raised his right hand directly.

When his consciousness came into contact with the Heavenly Seal in his right hand and looked at the Heavenly Space, his body stiffened!
In fact, the Heavenly Seal, the Netherworld Seal, and the Copper Pillar Seal on the illusory body were all inherited from Chen Xin's original body. Or rather, the seals were not imprinted on the body, but on Chen Xin's soul!

The illusory body is actually just a clone controlled by a wisp of Chen Xin's soul. Therefore, the seals on the illusory body are actually the seals of Chen Xin's main body, and they share the power of the seals.

The Tongyou Seal and the Tongzhu Seal are nothing special, but the Hutian Seal is somewhat different.

The Illusionary Body's Pot Heaven Seal is actually Chen Xin's original Pot Heaven Seal, so there is only one true Pot Heaven Space!
That is the Pot Heaven Space in Chen Xin's hands.

In other words, the Pot Heaven Seal in the Illusionary Body's hand is merely an entrance to Chen Xin's Pot Heaven Space, and Chen Xin and the Illusionary Body share the same space.

It's like a room with two doors and two keys!
Just now, the 'needle' opened the door to the Pot Heaven Space through the 'key' in the illusion's hand and entered the Pot Heaven Space.

“What is He going to do?”

Watching the needles wandering in the Pot Heaven space, Chen Xin's thoughts raced.

Soon, he thought of something.

Something he had considered before: Smuggling!

Could it be...? Just as Chen Xin had this thought, the illusory body on the other side vanished from the Netherworld.

When Chen Xin regained consciousness and saw the scene around his illusory body, his expression changed again.

This time, the illusion wasn't located in a specific place in the netherworld, but rather... in the underworld!
The illusory body stepped out of the netherworld and entered the yin realm!
He actually managed to sneak into the underworld by using his illusory form in conjunction with the seal!
A mortal god, having left the Netherworld, has entered the Underworld?
Chen Xin's expression turned grim, and he immediately tried to summon his illusory form back.

Although the wisp of soul is gone, the phantom body itself is a talisman condensed from the "Complete Collection of Talismans".

Chen Xin cannot control it, but the essence of the illusion remains unchanged, so Chen Xin can naturally recall it!
But just as the recall order was issued, that pulling sensation that hadn't been there for a long time reappeared.

The last time Chen Xin was involved in a bloodbath.

This time, the one pulling against Chen Xin... is Hei Yuan, and the heart in the phantom's hand!
The sudden pulling sensation slightly stopped Chen Xin, and this slight stop made Chen Xin realize that something was wrong.

He had intended to catch 'assimilation' off guard, but this tug-of-war delayed Chen Xin's subsequent actions and alerted the enemy.

Sure enough, what you fear most is what happens most often!
Upon discovering that someone was trying to seize control of the 'Illusionary Body', the 'Illusionary Body' proactively opened the Pot Heaven Space.

The 'needle' has emerged...

Chen Xin watched as He circled in the air and then stopped, seemingly examining the illusory body, or perhaps pondering something.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xin saw the red thread reappear on the phantom's hand, the red thread that was connected to the heart!

The red thread was pulled away on its own, and the heart detached from the phantom body's hand, carried by the red thread to the 'needle'.

Then, the needle, along with the heart, disappeared.

At this moment, Chen Xin regained control of his illusory body.

Looking at the illusory figure standing alone in some dark place, Chen Xin's expression was uncertain.

"Why did you release the illusion?"

Thinking about what would happen after that needle, an idea suddenly popped into Chen Xin's mind.

"Is He thanking me?"

"No, that's not right!"

Chen Xin felt that the word 'thank you' shouldn't appear in this kind of thing.

So... He discovered my existence through the Illusion God, and thought that I might also be a mortal god, so he took the initiative to give up the competition?
Chen Xin felt that this guess was more likely.

After a long silence, this out-of-control experience made Chen Xin feel the crisis once again.

The Ghost Heart Ancestor was able to bypass Chen Xin's physical defenses and charm him, and today's 'assimilation' operation broadened Chen Xin's horizons.

"Perhaps the most difficult to deal with in the Netherworld is not the kind of destructive power that is full of killing intent, but rather the destructive god like 'Assimilation' that has special abilities and can think!"

“For example, there are worldly gods who have already appeared in the world, such as ‘planting demons’ and ‘sacrifices’.”

"Given a specific situation, a world god who can think for itself and possesses special abilities will definitely pose a greater threat than those world gods who are stronger in terms of raw power!"

Chen Xin thought to himself.

He glanced at the Phantom God, but instead of recalling it, he manipulated his avatar to reach the Copper Pillar Hell.

Chen Xin didn't do it himself, or even show his face; he directly had Jiuri relay the order to Bai Ying.

Immediately afterwards, a copper pillar appeared behind the illusion, and soon the illusion was burned to ashes.

Just then, Chen Xin saw a thin red line from the spot where the illusion had disappeared.

The thin thread tried to escape, but it was attracted by the copper pillar and evaporated in the blink of an eye.

"really."

Chen Xin sneered.

He didn't believe that the 'smuggler' was so kind.

The illusory body can continue to coalesce, but 'assimilation' must be guarded against.

Chen Xin returned to Sanshan Village, obtained the spare materials for creating the illusion body, and used 20,000 points of Yin Virtue to re-condense the illusion body.

Looking at his illusory form, Chen Xin recalled everything that had happened before.

This time, it seems that only 20,000 merits were lost, but compared with the information gained, 20,000 merits are nothing.

However, the question of whether that thing could escape remains.

There is more than one entrance from the underworld to the mortal world, and Chen Xin did not believe that He could not find an exit.

Thus, Chen Xin could move freely between the mortal world and the underworld, without fear of any ghosts or human calamities.

But now, who knows what we'll be facing!
Therefore, whether it was to obtain the seal of suppression through 'assimilation' or for their own safety, they did so.

That thing needs to be found and resolved as soon as possible!

Where will He go?

After a moment of thought, Chen Xin realized something.

"If we're going to go, it seems like their place is the only option!"

Chen Xin glanced at the illusory body, and an idea flashed through his mind.

Immediately afterwards, following the memories of the Ghost Heart lineage he had previously received, he projected his illusory body outwards.

Target: The Demon Slave Organization!
