Martial Arts: Starting with Bajiquan, I will prove my divine power through the ultimate path!

[Special energy detected; can be used for evolution or recycling!]

[Evolution Path 1 - Eye of Chaos: Can distort the memories and perceptions of the person being observed, causing their spirit to be destroyed in a bizarre phase. After destruction, it can devour the spirit of the other party to strengthen itself. The eye is immortal, and no matter what blow it suffers, the physical body can be reconstructed and restored. However, it may lose itself in the process of devouring and become the most ordinary low-level monster on the edge of the Disaster Sea (Time required: 300 years)]

[Evolution Path 2 - Twisted Dark Evil Eye: Located at the bottom of a deep abyss in the Sea of ​​Calamity, this is one of the countless eyes on the body of an Ancient Ruler. Its gaze can see and amplify the fears and desires deep within the heart of its target, projecting them into a hyper-realistic illusion indistinguishable from reality. The countless tentacles extending from this eye can assimilate any matter they touch into their body. They can merge into the darkness, becoming invisible and traceless, distorting space and reality, and are immortal and indestructible. They can assimilate everything they see into their body, but there is a high chance that the Ancient Ruler will detect their existence and reclaim them (time required: 8000 years)]

[Evolution Path 3 - The Sleeper's Eye: An eye accidentally dropped by an ancient ruler who has slept for billions of years in the Sea of ​​Calamity. It can create an immense dream that encompasses countless worlds and even a small part of the Sea of ​​Calamity, creating terrifying dreams where countless gods sleep and distorted concepts. It weakens the minds of all living beings, amplifies fear and primal impulses, and traps everyone's consciousness in an eternal dream. It has the ability to distort time and space and devour worlds, becoming an omnipotent being. However, it is very likely that the Sleeper will notice and swallow you into an even larger dream (time required: 50000 years)]

【Recycle】

The emergence of Jiyin.

A new picture has been added to the picture that separates reality from illusion.

Shi Wen chose to recycle without hesitation!

For an instant.

The illusion of distorted will vanished without a trace.

Shi Wen regained consciousness, and he collapsed to the ground, his chest heaving violently.

Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and body, leaving wet patches on the ground.

He was like a drowning man who had been pulled ashore, unable to do anything except lie on the ground desperately breathing.

tired!!

My entire body and mind were on the verge of extreme exhaustion!

Shi Wen had never felt this way before; even the previous fierce battle had not brought him such immense mental fatigue.

The black cat saw that he had regained consciousness.

He lay down beside him and quietly licked his fur.

"Ah Wen, are you alright?" Old Shi's anxious voice rang out from outside the door.

Shi Wen took a deep breath and replied with his last bit of strength, "Dad, it's nothing. I was just teasing the cat and made it angry."

"Watch out, you might get scratched."

"Um."

The sounds outside the door disappeared.

Shi Wen gasped for breath.

I lay there for a full half hour.

Only then did he have the strength to sit up from the ground.

He quickly poured half a bottle of Blood Nourishing Pills into his mouth to restore the blood and qi that had been depleted in his body, and sat on the ground panting heavily!

"Terrifying, outrageous, what on earth is this thing?"

"How could an eyeball create such an illusion and distort my consciousness?"

"I'm clearly not that Wenshuheng, but when I was under the illusion, I suddenly had over twenty years of memories appear out of nowhere. It's even twisting my beliefs and memories, making me think that I am Wenshuheng!"

"What on earth is this thing?!"

Shi Wen shook the gray slime off his left hand, his face filled with fear.

Just now.

Even after being awakened by the black cat, he remained trapped between illusion and reality, unable to regain his senses!

In less than a minute, his spirit reached the point of collapse. He was exhausted, his blood and energy were depleted, and he almost died.

If there is no Extreme Seal for refining.

He was probably really going to die here.

"If the executioner's knife falls, I might really die!"

Shi Wen took a deep breath; his hands were trembling.

His mind was blank; all he could do was subconsciously eat pills and chew on dried meat from exotic beasts to regain his strength.

It wasn't until I had recovered to a certain extent that my tired mind and energy were restored.

Only then did Shi Wen have the mind to think about the three branches that appeared on the Extreme Seal.

"The Eye of Chaos, the Eye of Twisted Darkness and Evil, the Eye of the Sleeper..."

"What exactly are they? What kind of world is this? Why are these strange things appearing?"

"What on earth happened in Tiannan Prefecture?!"

Shi Wen recalled the evolutionary branches of the eyeballs that had appeared on the Extreme Seal, and felt a chill run down his spine.

The Eye of Chaos can distort the target's will and devour their broken spirit. As long as the eyeball remains intact, the user will be immortal, but will lose their mind and become a monster.

The Twisted Dark Evil Eye is said to be one of the eyes of some ancient ruler, capable of creating real illusions and distorting and assimilating everything it touches.

The Sleeper's Eye can create colossal dreams, dragging multiple worlds into them and twisting fundamental rules and concepts...

"None of these things have anything to do with humans. Why do such bizarre things exist in the world?"

Shi Wen chewed on the meat of the strange beast.

While eating, they suddenly stopped.

He stared at the dense, heavy piece of exotic beast meat in his hand, which had patterns on its surface.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips.

If even the flesh of strange beasts can exist, what's so strange about the existence of even more evil things in the world?

It can only be said that he hasn't reached that level yet; his knowledge is too shallow.

"I will never exist as a non-human being."

Shi Wen silently chewed on the beast meat.

This is why he didn't hesitate to use his eyeballs for recycling rather than for evolution.

Firstly, it takes too long.

Secondly, all three evolutionary branches ultimately meet tragic ends, either transforming into monsters or attracting the attention of something far more terrifying.

Unless evolution can directly replace those things.

Otherwise, I will never consider it.

"By the way, I remember Jiyin just retrieved the eyeball. Where did that thing go now?"

Shi Wen suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at the Extreme Seal on his left palm.

Suddenly.

He looked surprised.

"this……"

Tiannan.

Linan City under the rule of the Republic of China's New Policies.

In a vast mansion.

The courtyard was quiet and peaceful, but the air was filled with a chilling and eerie atmosphere.

It's clearly close to May.

This land at the southernmost tip of Daliang is naturally spring-like all year round, with intense heat.

But within this courtyard, a chilling, bone-deep coldness, as if one had entered a basement, raged.

The courtyard was large, but there wasn't a single oil lamp for lighting.

A woman with a beautiful figure, carrying a lantern and a lunchbox, walked carefully through the large courtyard. She arrived at the closed house and said in a trembling voice, "Young master, the food is ready."

All the windows in this room were sewn shut.

In the dim moonlight and the light of the lanterns, one could see that a large amount of blood had seeped out from the corners of the walls, windows and some crevices, turning into dark brown stains.

"Yes, Juan'er, bring the food in." A gentle and refined voice came from inside the house. "It's too hot in the summer, so I won't go out."

Juan'er's face turned deathly pale, and her eyes reddened as she said, "Young Master, I've served you for so many years!"

"It's nothing, just bringing in the food." A gentle voice sounded. "Be good, be a good girl."

Juan'er bit her lip until it bled, and pushed open the door with difficulty.

However, the room was clean.

There were no terrifying scenes as I had imagined.

A tall, handsome young man was sitting in a chair reading a book. He was gentle and refined. When he saw the maid, he smiled and said, "Juan'er, you're here. What do you think of my handwriting?"

Seeing that the young master was perfectly normal, Juan'er quickly praised him, "Who doesn't know about our young master Shuheng's calligraphy? He's a rising star in calligraphy in Tiannan, almost on par with the older generation of masters!"

"hehe."

The young man smiled, took the lunchbox, and ate heartily.

She didn't do anything else until she finished her meal, which relieved Juan'er.

Ever since the Wen family sided with the new government of the Republic of China, the master and young master have become very strange. It is said that servants in the mansion often mysteriously disappear.

Previously.

None of the people who served the young master have come out.

I initially thought something truly terrifying was going to happen.

In retrospect, it seems that those people were simply punished for not being meticulous in their work.

She would never do that!

After the young man finished eating, he neatly packed up his lunchbox, put it in his basket, and smiled, saying, "I'm done eating. You can go now."

"Yes, young master!"

Juan'er's heart fluttered as she was gazed upon by that handsome face.

She quickly picked up the basket and lantern, turned around and left.

Just as Juan'er was leaving.

The young man, who had always appeared gentle and refined, suddenly covered his eyes.

He let out a terrible roar, and grayish-brown blood kept flowing from his left eye, which he was covering!

It dripped onto the ground.

"ah!!!"

"My eyes!!!!"

"Who destroyed my eyes?!"

boom!

His head suddenly split open into countless pieces of flesh, a mass of flesh mainly composed of eyeballs writhing, and ferocious blood-red tentacles flying wildly in the air, shredding everything in their path into fragments!

Juan'er is still unable to leave the house.

Suddenly, I was dragged into the room by a tentacle...
