Online Game: Evil Dragon Against The Heaven - 250

Understand? Ye Tian Xie could comprehend the words, but how could he truly understand?

What the blue-haired man described had never existed in human cognition, nor had it ever appeared in any textbooks. It felt ethereal, as if he were narrating a mythological worldview. Ye Tian Xie could only listen passively, accept passively, but he simply couldn’t 『understand』.

In his memories, nothing he knew could explain what the man was talking about.

At this moment, he felt as if he were indeed within the 『vortex』mentioned by the blue-haired man. However, the location of this vortex was not on the plane where humanity existed and lived… As for which plane it was, he did not know.

“How do we begin?” He didn’t overthink and asked directly.

“When you are ready.” The blue-haired man answered.

“When I’m ready?”

“That’s right…The Seven Deadly Sins, seven fundamental evils. Once I draw out the source of these sins, your mind will be drawn toward them… Don’t worry, it’s not that your mind will be controlled, but rather that you will naturally want to act upon them. At that moment, you will find it difficult, if not impossible, to control yourself. By then, you must have considered the forty-nine-day baptism of the Seven Deadly Sins. If you are not adequately prepared, the first ones to suffer will be those around you. Therefore, you must be fully prepared, completely prepared.” The blue-haired man said.

“I understand.” What he said was exactly what Ye Tian Xie had worried about most when he resolved to undergo the baptism of the Seven Deadly Sins for Xian’er. Yes…He had to prepare, at the very least, to ensure that when these sins erupted, they wouldn’t affect those around him.

“Hmm… The Holy Sword War God, you manifested earlier was indeed an incredibly powerful force, but unfortunately, its flaws were too obvious. That level of manifestation has a strict time limit. If the Dark Nether Ghost King hadn’t been so terrified that he didn’t even have the courage to look back, the situation would have been entirely different.” The blue-haired man said, then slightly furrowed his brows. “However, given your current level of strength, even if you have the qualifications to manifest such a form, you shouldn’t be capable of such power. And yet, you managed to sustain it for such a long time, which puzzles me… But it’s fine. I only hope your power continues to grow stronger. When you are strong enough to defeat me, come find me… No matter what method you use to defeat me, it will be acceptable, including this newly acquired manifestation ability of yours…”

The blue-haired man took one last look at Ye Tian Xie then turned around cleanly and decisively, leading the blue wolf toward the previous gap in the barrier. “Go do what you need to do. Farewell.”

“How will I find you when the time comes?” Ye Tian Xie called out.

“You won’t be able to find me…When I need to appear, I will naturally appear.”

“I still want to know..”” Ye Tian Xie asked with a serious expression, “If I truly undergo the baptism of the Seven Deadly Sins… during those forty-nine days, will my changing nature affect… the real world?”

“It will.”

As the voice faded, the figures of the blue-haired man and the blue wolf disappeared simultaneously, vanishing into the distance.

Ye Tian Xie closed his eyes quietly, repeatedly contemplating the words he had just heard. Then, he turned around and walked toward the ruins of the Illusory Beast Clan, which had been reduced to rubble.

The once majestic fortress-like buildings had completely collapsed, and the grand gate was nowhere to be found. Ye Tian Xie wandered around for a long time before finally locating an opening that led downward, one that hadn’t been sealed off. Without hesitation, he leaped down.

Summoning the Nether Mist, he landed smoothly. This was the underground of the Illusory Beast Clan’s ruins. Upon landing, Ye Tian Xie was filled with astonishment. Back when he had transformed into the Holy Sword War God to attack the Dark Nether Ghost King, he had been marveling at this underground space the entire time. He had directly felt the sheer strength of the Holy Sword War God’s power—just a single strike from it should have been enough to completely collapse and bury such a vast underground chamber. Yet, despite attacking the Dark Nether Ghost King for so long, the underground space only trembled, suffering surface-level destruction, but never caving in completely.

At that time, he had vaguely suspected that some force was protecting this place—something similar to the powerful barrier outside. And now, he was even more convinced of his hypothesis.

Following his memory, he moved forward, passing through two halls before coming to a halt, staring ahead speechlessly.

Originally, there had been a relatively short and narrow passage here.

But now, the passage was completely blocked by enormous boulders that had fallen from above, piled tightly together.

Ye Tian Xie stepped forward and attempted to move one of the giant stones with force. Despite his strength, the rock barely trembled and remained immovable.

Having already witnessed Xiao Bei’s extreme strength before, Ye Tian Xie wasn’t particularly worried. These stones, whether in size or hardness, were far inferior to the massive boulder over three meters long, three meters wide, and three meters high that Xiao Bei had kicked away before.

Xiao Bei appeared, glanced at the pile of rocks, casually patted its paws, then swaggered forward. Standing in front of the very rock that Ye Tian Xie had struggled to move, it extended a single paw, placed it on the stone’s surface, then lifted its arm…

Rumble…

The massive boulder, which had been firmly wedged among the pile and was twice the size of Xiao Bei’s body, was effortlessly yanked out with a single paw. It hoisted the rock above its head and flung it far away. With the loss of the central support, a large section of the rock pile collapsed with a dull crash. Xiao Bei then used both paws, grabbing two rocks at a time and casually tossing them backward with every motion.

Dong… dong… dong…

The sound of stones being thrown and crashing onto the ground echoed seven or eight times. A gap large enough for a person to pass through had finally appeared in the blocked path. Ye Tian Xie gave Xiao Bei an extremely strange look for a moment before stepping forward through the opening and continuing onward. At the same time, he opened his status panel—only now did he take a closer look at the newly obtained class, 『Illusory Beast Divine Envoy』.

It was precisely because of this sudden class change that he had been able to transform into the overwhelmingly powerful Holy Sword War God. Just what kind of powerful class was this?

Illusory Beast Divine Envoy: A class born for the Illusory Beast Clan. When a bearer of the Sacred Mark is recognized by the Sacred Mark Beast of the Illusory Beast Clan, they will be forcibly converted to this class. Those who possess this class will gain the acknowledgment of the most powerful deities of the Illusory Beast Clan and will have the qualification and ability to wield their power.

Class Skills:

Heart of Spiritual Resonance (Líng Xī Zhī Xīn): The people of the Illusory Beast Clan possess an exceptional ability to communicate with beasts, granting them powerful beast-taming and even illusory beast abilities.

Effect: For every 20 levels gained, the maximum number of pets that can be deployed in battle simultaneously increases by one. The higher the level, the lower the probability of pet betrayal. After reaching level 50, owned pet companions will never betray. Upon surpassing level 50, there will be a chance to understand the language of beasts. At level 80, full communication with beasts becomes possible.

Illusory God Transformation – Holy Sword War God Kalonandis: Using the power of the Sacred Mark as a source, transforms into Kalonandis, the ancient war god of the Illusory Beast Clan, possessing all of his peak power. Due to the current low level, transformation results in a level decrease of 509, with a maximum transformation duration of 20 seconds.

【Smart players might want to analyze what the number “509” is based on. That number wasn’t randomly chosen.】

This Illusory Beast Divine Envoy class currently had only two skills—one passive and one alternative yet overwhelmingly powerful transformation. Upon reading the description of 『Heart of Spiritual Resonance』, Ye Tian Xie was utterly astonished.

Increasing the number of deployable pets by one every 20 levels was already an immensely exciting attribute. Given his current level… this meant he could now summon three pets into battle simultaneously. And the ability to communicate with beasts—this skill could only be described as『miraculous』.

However, upon reading the two-line description of the 『Illusory God Transformation』skill, Ye Tian Xie nearly smacked his head against the ground.

A maximum transformation duration of 20 seconds was one thing. But a level decrease of… 509 levels after transformation!?

What kind of joke was this!?

After transforming, he was overwhelmingly powerful. That level of strength allowed him to completely dominate the world, trample everything beneath his feet, and render all opposition meaningless. He admitted that he was intoxicated by that feeling, wishing he could stay in that state forever—the state where he could utterly crush even the mighty Dark Nether Ghost King in one-sided combat.

But this so-called 『heaven-defying』skill was, after all, not truly heaven-defying. In reality, an actual 『heaven-defying』skill wouldn’t even exist. He could still transform into the Holy Sword War God… but the consequences…

Transformed into the Holy Sword War God, he could reign supreme, sweeping through everything, obliterating land and cities with a mere gesture. However, with a single brief skill description, it had turned into a completely impractical ability.

At the very least, even if he faced the Dark Nether Ghost King again, even if he was forced at knifepoint, he wouldn’t dare activate this skill. Dying at the hands of the Dark Nether Ghost King would only result in losing one level, whereas using the Illusory God Transformation would grant 20 seconds of invincibility at the cost of… a 509-level drop. Given his current level of 20, dropping 509 levels—what would that even mean? Would he stop at level 0, or would he somehow plunge into negative 489? He didn’t dare test it.

If this skill allowed unlimited transformations into the Holy Sword War God… even he wouldn’t believe it.

And the reason he had previously been able to sustain the transformation for a full three minutes without any side effects was entirely due to the power granted to him by that glowing orb, which had naturally sustained his transformed state.

With Xiao Bei’s assistance, he passed through one obstacle after another, walking past the tattered and collapsed walls. Finally, the darkness before him faded, and a faint glow emerged. As he moved forward, he finally saw the white glowing orb once again. It remained suspended in midair, shrouded in swirling white mist, with something seemingly concealed within.

However, compared to when he first saw it, the orb’s radiance was now much dimmer. It was no longer pure and luminous but had instead taken on a faint, dull grayish-white hue.
