[Deduction successful. Your avatar "Golden-Eyed Bloodthirsty Leopard (Blue)" has been promoted to "Bloodflame Flying Tiger (Purple)," gaining the blessing of its talent "Qiongqi Bloodflame."]

[Remaining Spiritual Energy: 13827 points.]

……

On the panel, ink-wash light and shadow cascade like a waterfall.

Centuries of memories, like a painting submerged in water, fade and lose their luster, ultimately becoming just a few lines in a history book, recorded...

That year, that person, that event.

"It's done."

Liu Sheng exhaled a breath of stale air, his face fierce and ruthless, his body radiating murderous intent, his eyes and brows weathered, and his demeanor deeply aged.

She exudes a profound sense of time, like a traveler traveling against the flow of time, a fleeting moment of beauty, a thousand years in a glance.

The area around the wooden house, spanning several thousand feet, fell silent instantly.

The people, birds, animals, plants, and trees within the encampment instinctively stopped moving and remained silent.

It felt as if a section of the sky had collapsed, pressing down on my head, filling me with a sense of foreboding and fear.

A moment later, the terrifying aura dissipated, and all the creatures recovered, instinctively moving away from the wooden house as far as possible.

"Suck!"

Liu Sheng took a breath, his eyes regaining their clarity, and clicked on the description of "Bloodflame Flying Tiger" on the panel—

【Bloodflame Flying Tiger (Purple)】

[Introduction]: A descendant of Qiongqi, a monstrous beast born of destiny, fierce and bloodthirsty, its blood ignites evil flames, bewitching people's hearts and gathering wicked people.

It is over a hundred feet long, covered with cracks, and has two wings that allow it to fly through the sky and disappear into the earth.

They often dwell in places filled with malevolent energy, such as deep mountains and secluded valleys, collecting the blood of countless beasts in a pool and soaking in it day and night to alleviate the pain of their torn bodies.

They would kidnap people to build temples, sit quietly beside the temples, listen to the rain and chant scriptures, as if recalling the past.

……

"After Qiongqi, it even grew a pair of wings..."

Liu Sheng stroked his chin, lost in thought.

The Golden-Eyed Blood Leopard is a demon, and it can control demonic energy to fly off the ground, but it is only used for traveling and is neither fast nor agile.

With a pair of wings, its speed, though not as fast as the Sky Sparrow, is still far superior to before, and it is agile and powerful in aerial combat.

Compared to the Sky Sparrow, one is light and the other is heavy.

However, what surprised Liu Sheng the most were the words "bewitching people's hearts and gathering evil spirits".

It's easy to understand that the Bloodflame Flying Tiger's blood flames can bewitch people's minds, similar to "brainwashing with demonic sounds."

But what does "gathering evil and wicked people" mean?
Qiongqi, one of the four ancient evil spirits, is said to associate with bad people and stay away from virtuous people.

Could it be that the Bloodflame Flying Tiger, as a descendant of this lineage, also inherited this characteristic, staying away from honest and kind people and getting close to cunning and evil villains?

It even makes bad people instinctively feel close to it and gather them under its command...

"Ah this..."

Liu Sheng's lips twitched, and a thought struck him.

If that's the case, then this Bloodflame Flying Tiger incarnation is well-suited to infiltrate the evil camp.

A villainous boss destined for destiny?

It just so happens that Sun Kening and Han Santong's men were originally a bunch of rogue soldiers, hooligans, bandits, and scum. We can try to integrate them.

If the results are satisfactory, it could be a viable option.

The world is like a furnace, and people's hearts are like fire; for every good person, there must be a bad one.

There are some things that good people cannot do due to moral constraints, after all, good people don't do bad things.

Then it can be handed over to bad people to do.

After all, bad people have low moral standards, so it's normal for them to do bad things, and nobody will say anything.

Therefore, to gain control of a region, one must have both good and bad people around them.

Just like the emperor's side, where the loyal and the treacherous coexist, and neither can be missing.

This is the way of checks and balances. It can also be called... the art of rulership.

"That's getting off-topic. We'll talk about the future later."

Liu Sheng's lips curled slightly as he shifted his gaze to the relevant talent.

The four old talents, "Tiger Bone," "Tiger Roar," "Tiger Ferocity," and "Controlling the Enemy," have all been significantly improved.

The first three did not add any new features, but only improved the effects of the existing features.

The talent "Yu Chang" not only increases the cultivation level (Huang Ting) of those who can be transformed into Chang ghosts, but also increases the number of Yu Chang to 5.

Currently, the main ghost of this deity is: Cai Baimao.

The incarnations of the Flying Tiger are: Qin Shuang, Lei Zhong, and the Crown Prince of Jin.

"The Flying Tiger incarnation can control a Yellow Court Realm ghost, and the remaining two slots can be filled by a Commander-level ghost. If necessary, Qin Shuang's ghost can also be used to replace it..."

He counted the number of the cougars; those who had been transformed, such as Gu Shaoshang, Caiyu, and Xiao Yan, had all died in battle.

Lei Zhong, the Prince of Jin, and Cai Baimao have special identities and can play a remarkable role in certain situations, so they will be temporarily retained.

Then there's the new talent that Flying Tiger gained after his transformation and upgrade—

【Qiongqi Blood Flame (Talent)】

[Introduction]: The remnants of the Four Fiends, burning blood into flames. Those who possess this talent can draw upon their own essence, blood, true energy, and magical power as fuel to ignite a ferocious blood flame, burning the soul and scorching the spirit, rotting flesh and corroding bones, diminishing luck and shortening lifespan, and defiling blessings and misfortunes.

……

This talent seems unremarkable, but it consumes one's own essence, true energy, and mana to ignite blood flames and attack enemies.

However, the characteristics of "Blood Flame" include burning the soul and scorching the spirit, rotting flesh and corroding bones, reducing luck and shortening lifespan, and defiling blessings and dispelling misfortune—a total of four!

Burning soul and scorching spirit, rotting flesh and corroding bones—these two properties are relatively easy to understand, one affecting the soul and the other affecting the body.

The claim that it "reduces luck and shortens lifespan" is quite exaggerated.

After being burned by the blood flames, it can reduce the target's luck, causing them to be in a state of "bad luck" for a period of time, and it will also shorten their lifespan.

Because fortune and lifespan are not as directly perceptible as physical strength and spirit, they are extremely difficult to sense, so those who are affected are often unaware of it.

As for the last one, "dispelling bad luck and warding off evil," it is even more outrageous, targeting religious rituals such as sacrifices, bestowing blessings, and prayers.

For example, the Luotian Grand Ritual includes rituals such as consecration, blessing, purification, food offering, and ordination, as well as Buddhist ceremonies such as Water and Land Ritual, Flaming Mouth Ritual, Initiation, Almsgiving, and Blessing.

The Qiongqi Blood Flame can significantly reduce the effectiveness of such rituals.

To put it simply, it greatly diminishes the effect of "the Bodhisattva manifesting his power".

These four characteristics become increasingly mysterious as you go further, targeting levels that ordinary people cannot access.

This greatly enhanced Liu Sheng's confidence in confronting powerful enemies.

at the same time.

Inside the White Lotus Army Camp on West Peak.

Blood Frog's form suddenly froze, and with a low roar, it revealed its true form.

The tiger's body, which was over twenty feet long, trembled violently for no apparent reason. A cold wind howled and black mist churned, obscuring its form.

The commotion within the fog was immense, producing terrifying sounds, like skin tearing, flesh ripping, tendons being pulled, and bones buckling...

A moment later, a burst of scorching blood-red flames rose from the mist, spreading over a hundred feet with the force of a wildfire.

"Roar!"

The next moment, the tiger's roar was like thunder, shaking the mountains and ridges, causing rocks to rustle and birds and beasts to flee in panic.

A chilling wind howled, and a malevolent aura filled the sky.

Amidst the raging crimson flames, a colossal beast, hundreds of feet tall, slowly emerged.

It was over a hundred feet long, with a "king" mark on its forehead, eyes like gilded gold, wings sprouting from its neck, and its body covered in cracks...

This terrifying blood flame was surging out from the cracks, melting the mud and rocks beneath it, making it boil like molten lava.

Bloodflame Flying Tiger!
The remaining soldiers who had gathered around, who had been forced to submit to the killings of the previous night and were filled with resentment, now felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to the giant beast before them.

The resentment in his heart completely dissipated, and he became completely convinced, looking at the incarnation of Flying Tiger with reverence and fanaticism.
