Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 360 Becoming a "Kun"!
A tiny, a few-inch-long Kun swam into Shi Ming's palm.

It resonates with the spirit of Shi Ming.

With a thought, the magical primal power within the Kun's body flowed effortlessly from the small fish, or rather, from his own clone, through his palm and into Shi Ming's arm.

It's as if something that was lent out has returned to its original home.

Meanwhile, Shi Ming's right arm began to absorb the power, completely transforming it into a part of himself, rather than relying on a "form" whose destiny had been taken away.

The origin is mine; I do not need cause and effect!
There are no obstacles.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly.

……

The power of destiny is very gentle.

It is neither as ferocious and violent as the Great Black Dragon's "Destroy the Source," nor as malicious and blatant as the Abyss Lord's "Contaminate the Source."

Instead, it is as gentle as rain, soft and silent.

This made Shi Ming feel like he was truly enjoying himself, sometimes as if he were soaking in a hot spring, sometimes as if he were walking on clouds, sometimes as if spring water was brushing against his cheeks, and sometimes as if winter snow was refreshing his heart and soul.

Dopamine and endocrine peptides are secreted together.

But it was also quite restrained.

The water flows slowly.

Nothing in the world is more beautiful than this, and he savored this joy until he saw the Eye of Fate's reminder again.

[Sorry, the Eye of Fate has interrupted your enjoyment, but as you know, enjoyment is only temporary, while strength lasts a lifetime.]

【…】

Fate is truly wondrous.

[Without shedding a drop of blood, you swiftly obliterated the consciousness of Wanxiang Kun, seizing everything from it. Filtered by the crimson markings on your right arm, you extracted its essence and discarded its dross. Because you are perfectly aligned with the origin of destiny, you acquired the power of the Destiny Sanctuary's origin in just one day.]

Of course, this is all thanks to the Eye of Fate.

[Acquired Skill: Sanctuary of Myriad Forms]

[Number of Extreme Evil Touches increased by 312 (total 1468)]

You've earned your first "phase". (Yes, you need to start accumulating from scratch.)

[You can transform into the Myriad Manifestations Kun at a 1:1 scale. When you transform into the Myriad Manifestations Kun, you can unleash its other four skills: Southern Darkness Dream, Autumn Waters of Ten Thousand Rivers, Mist Rising Through a Thousand Realms, and Forgotten Ruins Returning to Dust.]

[Attack Power: 602] (Increase by 111)

[Stamina: 589] (Increased by 83)

[Endurance: 611] (Increase by 87)

[Defense: 563] (Increase by 104)

[Mental Strength: Unknown]

Unsurprisingly, you won this battle for the director's position. Fate has indeed been on your side...

The writing has disappeared.

Shi Ming was very surprised.

So fast?
In the previous few times, it took him almost three days to absorb the Holy Temple level power and essence of the Abyss Lord and the Great Black Heaven Dragon, transferring that essence from the corpses and blood of these ferocious beasts to himself, and then absorbing and fusing it to obtain their skills.

This time, it only took a third of the time?
He stretched out his right hand, and the power of destiny within him was activated. A glimmer of light gathered in his palm, then rippled outwards, and a Kun several inches long appeared in his hand. It was translucent and flowed with a light blue halo.

This is the form of Kun.

With a thought, Shi Ming's body became ethereal. He gently tossed the Kun in his hand, its tail swaying lightly, scattering dreamlike stardust along with its body.

These stardust particles split into countless tiny points of light, swirling and rising, like pale blue specks of light suddenly rising from the seabed. Then, the specks of light unfolded their thin, butterfly-like wings, fluttering gently, transforming into fluttering pale blue butterflies.

They reassembled on the seabed into the shape of a giant Kun.

It's absolutely dreamlike.

With the help of the power of the Myriad Manifestations Temple, Shi Ming mobilized the only "manifestation" and transformed it into a 600-meter-long Myriad Manifestations Kun.

The Kun can continue to grow larger.

Shi Ming familiarized himself with this new "appearance," while simultaneously experiencing the four accompanying skills—

As the "Southern Darkness Dream" rises, the Myriad Manifestations Kun becomes transparent, hidden in the illusion, and from then on, it can be immune to 80% of physical attacks. Thousands of autumn waters, through the power of fate, transform from the softest to the most resilient, like wings formed from countless clouds hanging from the sky. This is the attack skill "Ten Thousand Rivers Autumn Waters".

roar~
A void appeared in the mouth of the illusory Kun, then rapidly expanded, turning a thousand-meter stretch of sea into a void realm, where dust could return to dust and ashes to ashes. This is "Forgetting the Void and Returning to Dust".

As for "Mist Rising Through a Thousand Realms," it is a passive skill. Wherever the Myriad Manifestations Kun roams, a large amount of clouds and mist will appear. These clouds and mist can conceal its aura, and it can also hide in the clouds and mist, making the Southern Dark Dream even more illusory and difficult to see.

Four supporting skills.

Unlike the transformation of the Nine-Headed Temple, when Shi Ming uses the Myriad Forms Temple to transform into other "forms" such as Kun, he is truly Kun, without time limits, threshold requirements, or any additional conditions.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the "Hall of Ten Thousand Forms".

Its terrifying aspect lies not in experiencing all phenomena.

It lies in infiltration, disguise, and usurpation.

With this skill, Shi Ming could completely usurp the fate of his enemies when necessary, and continue living under his identity without anyone noticing, to accomplish other additional purposes.

This is why the Eye of Destiny says this skill is not very powerful in combat, but extremely annoying.

……

The Myriad Manifestations Kun transformed into a form, leaving no flesh or corpse behind, but there was no need to worry about the Sanctuary's materials.

If Shi Ming needs its flesh and blood, it can transform into a Kun when necessary to be self-sufficient. For a body that is several kilometers in size, the amount of flesh and blood required by the Infinite Brain to upgrade some items is just a few kilograms, which is practically nothing more than shedding a thin layer of skin.

He roamed the seabed as if he were a fish in water.

But he only experienced the life of the Kun for a short time and it didn't last long.

Deep within the Earth's lungs, another wondrous object awaited him.

The water never ceases to flow.

Just thinking about it gives him a headache.

Other treasures could bring him very clear benefits, but this super wonder ranked second was like a time bomb.

The 300-meter-long Kun transformed back into butterflies, then gathered together again, becoming Shi Ming.

He arrived at the area where the sea crystals were most concentrated.

The Myriad Manifestations Kun is dead, and this area has returned to reality from illusion. It is an underwater spring with water gushing out, and inside the spring lies the true form of the ceaseless water.

"Eye of Destiny, gather intelligence!"

The Eye of Destiny has previously provided information about it twice.

One was a strange tale using metaphors to illustrate rules, vague and riddle-like; the other was incomplete information that only scratched the surface, describing a crisis. This time, Shi Ming will use the Eye of Destiny to actively investigate this second-ranked wonder.

If we could take it with us and use it as material to upgrade the Grand Fortune, that would be the best!
Everyone is happy, and it's a win-win situation.

If not, but we can find other ways to resolve the crisis, that's also good.

If that doesn't work, then let's expose this problem to other forces and solve it together, and think of ways to "scoop it out and plug it up"!
