The icy blue flas jumped around in the bowl.
In a dium-sized room, two people sat across from each other in the dusk light, both staring calmly at the bowl of water in front of them.
A bowl of clean, boiled water was on the table. A swirl of moderately sized icy blue flas danced at the bottom.
“This is the Water of Trust?” the man on the left said.
“You can choose not to drink it,” the person facing him said casually.
The man was silent for a while, but ultimately reached out and took the bowl. “My body and spirit have been separated for too long. You know I don’t have a choice.”
“Of course, you simply don’t trust ,” the person facing him said calmly. “I’ve brought you the water, and we are even. No more performances during this sacrifice. Let the heaven decide whether we pass or not.”
The man knew what he ant.
He was silent for a while, then nodded.
“I know. If sothing goes wrong, I will assist you.”
The person facing him raised her head, the faint light exposing her previously hidden face—one crawling with countless earthworms.
Large amounts of earthworms crawled out of her mouth, ears, and nose. The faint sound of slippery friction could occasionally be heard.
It was clear she had once been a beautiful woman. But no matter what she had been, that was in the past.
“After all these years of hiding, we still haven’t discovered who the Head of the Black Society is. Is it worth it for you?”
The man bit his lip. “I’m doing this for revenge, whether it’s ‘worth it’ or not is none of my concern. You?”
“...? Maybe.” The woman shook her head. “The Five Weapon Grandmasters of the Great Yin, the Four Pillars of Devil World, the Black Society, and Three Sacred Gates are four groups that represent the pinnacle of power.
“With the chaos within the Great Yin, they won’t be able to do anything even if the word gets out. The Devil World has never ddled with our side before, and would probably only watch. Finally, if the Black Society wants to make a move, the only people available are those under the Three Secret Gates like you. This is our best chance.”
“The Three Sages won’t make a move.” The man shook his head.
“Haha.” The woman laughed. “You expect to believe that?”
“Whether you trust or not is not important. What is important is the fact the result will stay the sa.” The man swallowed the water in the bowl in one gulp.
“Bam. ”
He slamd the bowl down on the table, stood up, and walked out of the wooden door.

Thousand Sun Palace, Autumn Moon Palace.
Lu Sheng’s body floated in midair, while a swirl of pitch-black fla, with a faint touch of gold within, floated quietly in front of him.
The gold turned into countless golden wires, and constantly clashed with each other within the fla. During this process, the golden wires would, at an extrely slow pace, poke out of the black fla little by little, and form the shape of a golden feather.
The feather had only been as large as a nail at the start, but grew to be as large as a man’s palm as more and more golden wires left the black fla.
After an imasurable amount of ti.
Lu Sheng finally completely separated the Eight Headed Golden Fla from the Yin Fla, but only for this swirl. Countless amounts of Yin Fla were mixed in with Eight Headed Golden Fla within his body, and since Yin Fla was his core Law, being mixed in with Yin Fla was the sa thing as being mixed in with Yang Essence all over Lu Sheng’s body.
Though the Eight Headed Golden Fla was powerful, and could even increase the strength of Yang Essence, it also stopped Lu Sheng’s progress as it made Lu Sheng’s system too chaotic. At the mont, it was simply a boulder blocking his path.
‘ Unfortunate... Eight Headed Golden Fla was not a central Law Deep Blue created, or I could very well absorb the fla of Eight Headed Griffon to strengthen myself even further. ‘ Lu Sheng felt that extracting the Eight Headed Golden Fla was a waste.
But it was sothing he’d acquired completely by accident. No matter how powerful Deep Blue was and even though it could evolve any technique or Secret Art using ntal Energy, it could not evolve sothing like the Eight Headed Golden Fla that lacked even the most rudintary concept. Who knew which system it was derived from?
Lu Sheng was forced to give it up.
After separating the Eight Headed Golden Fla from the swirl of Yang Essence, Lu Sheng pointed again.
The rest of the black Yin Fla roared and burned, starting to circulate according to the basic concept of the Eight-Headed Mind Technique.
“Done...” Instantly, the Infinity Technique’s tab flashed. The Eight-Headed Mind Technique was temporarily separated as an improved version of Yin Fla, and received its own tab.
‘ It couldn’t keep up when it reached the concept of Law. Let’s see how far we can go this ti. ‘ Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and pressed down firmly on the Eight-Headed Mind Technique tab with his mind.
“Hiss.”
Deep Blue shook, and the evolve button appeared. Lu Sheng concentrated, and pressed it without any hesitation.
Deep Blue started to tremble, while the swirl of black fla in front of Lu Sheng danced around even more violently.
Suddenly, the fla compressed itself into the size of a fingernail, while a dark red winged-snake symbol appeared in its middle.
Vast amounts of ntal Energy exploded within Lu Sheng’s brain, then turned into a kind of shapeless energy to fuel the mysterious change of Yin Fla in its Eight-Headed Golden Fla form.
If ntal Energy was the fla, then the Yin Fla was the at being roasted. Sothing seed to be coming out of thin air around Lu Sheng as well, constantly being added to the Yin Fla.
The black Yin Fla was like a pool of ink that constantly jumped while its temperature increased rapidly. The faint glow of the heat-insulating formation set up around the room started to darken gradually.
The horrifying heat even started to lt the floor and walls around him.
Fueled by the endless amount of ntal Energy, Deep Blue started to evolve Yin Fla to its next, improved level based on Lu Sheng’s existing knowledge.
The Yin Fla constantly twisted around, and gradually ford a pitch-black whirlpool. The center of it was like a pitch-black tunnel that seed to extend infinitely, leading to so unknown place.
White smoke started to rise out of Lu Sheng. Even his body was reaching its limit as the temperature reached at least 100,000 degrees, still increasing rapidly at that. [ED/N: Yes, it seems like it really is 100,000 degrees. Considering that the author previously was excited about that other fla having 1,000 degrees, which is actually less hot than a candle’s fla (it’s 1,400 to 1,600 degrees Celsius), it’s possible that 1,000 degrees recently was a mistake.]
It was Yin Fla, after all, not an ordinary fla that could only burn enemies with heat. As for Yin Fla, heat was only part of its power. The most powerful part about it was its ability to burn spirits. As one of Lu Shang’s first concepts, this strange fire had its roots in spirit to begin with, and was especially effective against ghosts or other anomalies. Physically burning other stuff was actually only a minor use.
Finally, after expending at least 20,000 units of ntal Energy, the change to Yin Fla finally stopped. Its color had turned from black to a dark purple, while the outline of a human face lod within. A long black tail trailed behind it, similar to the whirlpool that appeared.
The swirl of Yin Fla looked similar to the special effects Lu Sheng’s previous Devil Bodies possessed.
‘ Its power increased far more than before. ‘ A hint of happiness appeared on Lu Sheng’s face. He reached out with his hand, with white smoke coming out, and stroked the human-faced black fla.
The extre heat of nearly 200,000 degrees imdiately lessened as his skin ca in contact with the fla. The human-faced Yin Fla quietly let Lu Sheng stroke it as it controlled its own heat like an intelligent being.
Lu Sheng could feel the special connection with the black whirlpool with a face in front of him.
‘T oo much ntal Energy was expended. I won’t have enough to evolve the next Core Law. I should probably start by getting rid of the rest of the Eight-Headed Golden fla just to be safe. ‘ He held the Man-Faced Yin Fla and moved his mind.
The swirl of black fla instantly dove into his palm, and flowed through his veins and nerves. A slight burning pain ca from his veins in the wake of its movents as they were unable to bear the heat.
Lu Sheng clearly sensed his ntal Energy depleting, rapidly repairing his injuries. The evolution of Yin Fla wasn’t finished. He had only evolved a small swirl of fla, which would then be used to modify his body, a crucial part of negating the influence of the Eight-Headed Golden Fla.
Every single ounce of Yang Essence was dyed pitch black as it was all scorched by the black fla.
The Yang Essence was noticeably weaker than the newly improved Human-Faced Black Fla. Lu Sheng was able to reshape all of his Yang Essence without much resistance.
“Open!” Lu Sheng roared abruptly. His body exploded in a ball of black fla, which then quickly dissipated.
As the fire cleared, he had transford into the humanoid monster of his Yin Yang Integration Form.
Under the scorching heat of the black fla, Lu Sheng was forced into his Yin Yang Integration Form in order to combat the black fla’s transformation process with the form’s near-perfect regenerative ability.
As ti passed slowly, Lu Sheng endured the intense pain while quietly suspended in midair. Every once in a while, a thin sliver of golden wire would drift out of his mouth.
These wires weaved together, and started to form a brilliant golden feather.
One hour, two hours...
Ti flew. At last, the black fla finally completed its transformation process at midnight.
“Bam.”
Lu Sheng’s whole body slamd down, and he landed on one knee.
He could feel that the Yang Essence all over his body had been transford into pitch-black fla, but because of the disguise of his Infinity Technique, it was quickly colored back to gold.
In his body, his various organs, muscles, and bones were all transford on a fundantal level. After all, the Ultimate Eight-Head Devil Way was based on Yin Fla. After his Yin Fla evolved, everything related to Lu Sheng’s body improved with it.
“Ha... Done... My body is stronger, and has gained greater fire resistance. There also seems to be a new organ...” Lu Sheng touched the sides of his throat: two cysts had grown there at so unknown ti.
A substance that even he himself felt was extrely dangerous churned inside.
The cysts weren’t big, and were naturally covered when he lowered his head to a normal position.
“This newly evolved Yin Fla has far exceeded its original self. Though it ca from Yin Fla, it could still produce horrifying heat comparable to ordinary bright fla’s. This new black fla should be nad Death Blaze.”
Lu Sheng smiled as the Infinity Technique tab on Deep Blue quickly changed the na to Death Blaze.
After a bit of rest, he sat back up, and finally looked at the forced out Eight-Headed Golden fla.
A total of four golden feathers slowly floated in front of him. Including the one he’d extracted before the transformation, he now possessed a total of five Eight-Headed Golden Flas.
Horrifying heat dwelled within every single golden feather. Lu Sheng didn’t know how powerful they were exactly, but since they ca from the Eight-Headed Griffon, they shouldn’t disappoint.
