I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 36: Seizing the Bone Flute, Self-Destruction; Absorbing Energy, Significantly Enhanced.

When Ji Lin woke up, the others still had pained expressions on their faces, their heads were throbbing, and they were struggling incessantly.

Seeing that their teammates were also affected by that mental shock, the group's formation broke down, they lost their footing, and their faces became ferocious.

We need to think of a way to save Liu Qingmei and the others.

He was then surprised to find that he could not fuse with the demon blood. What exactly was this white light?

Ji Lin glanced around and saw that the broken bone flute was being trampled under Li Quan's feet.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he leaped up, throwing a punch at Li Quan's entire face.

Hey!

Severely injured and mentally traumatized, Li Quan was powerless to resist and was immediately thrown to the ground.

Ji Lin picked up the bone flute, blew off the dust, and then put it in his pocket.

He breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to retrieve the broken bone flute.

"My Lord, please calm your anger! My Lord, spare my life!!"

At this point, Li Quan had gone mad, writhing in agony on the ground.

"Holy Lord, please guide me from the heavens above! Your loyal servant is willing to offer his life!!"

He shouted, suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the altar, and began to form hand seals with great speed.

Before Ji Lin could stop him, he forcibly drew in a wisp of energy from the heavens and injected it into the crumbling ritual core.

The aura descended from the sky, violently impacting the center of the altar.

At first, he thought Li Quan was talking nonsense, but the scene before him made him wonder if the so-called Upper Realm, Holy Lord, and Evil Dragon really existed, and what their relationship was.

"Die! Die, all of you! Sacrifice your lives to the great Holy Lord!!!"

Ji Lin was suddenly alarmed. Oh no, Li Quan was trying to kill everyone together!

He quickly retreated, but it was too late.

An internal struggle began. She still had a trump card to rebuild her life, but what about her teammates...?

The core of the ceremony exploded with a thunderous roar, and a violent energy mixed with the remnants of the evil dragon, the magic power of the pseudo-immortal sect, the energy of the Yin Sha Stone, and a trace of the aura from the heavens swept over everyone.

The altar was suddenly filled with dazzling light, so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes, and a powerful shockwave was rushing towards them.

[System notification: High concentration of complex abnormal substance detected.]

Should absorption proceed?

Is it possible to digest such a huge amount of energy?

Never mind, even if I explode and die, I have to save the night patrol members. Even if my body is gone, at least my head is at home...

"Yes!! Absorb it quickly!!"

At the critical moment of life and death, he was finally able to fully activate his demonic blood, using himself as a vessel to forcibly devour the nearby raging energy.

A demonic body, over two meters tall, blocked most of the shockwave and kept retreating.

His feet were rooted to the spot, propelled by the raging energy, leaving two long scratches on the ground.

As they passed by the cultists, more than twenty bodies instantly melted and disappeared.

He suddenly realized that the night patrol team members were right behind him, and Liu Qingmei was less than two meters away.

No more refunds possible!!

Ji Lin absorbed the energy while blocking the massive shockwave.

When he felt this powerful energy enter his body, he experienced excruciating pain and almost fainted.

My body is about to give out!!! Damn it, I was so close!!

The energy attack gradually diminished until it disappeared completely.

Ji Lin then immediately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

The Huai River began to calm down, the thick fog began to dissipate, and visibility gradually became clearer.

"Young Master Ji!!" Liu Qingmei, who was the first to regain consciousness, immediately checked on Ji Lin's condition.

To her surprise, Ji Lin had stopped breathing, his hands and feet were cold, and his body was beginning to stiffen.

Generally speaking, a person retains a certain temperature and softness for a short period of time after death.

But he got hard way too quickly...

Upon seeing this, Liu Qingmei pressed her lips tightly into a line, her lips trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Although she was in very bad shape just now, she clearly saw that Ji Lin risked his life to save them.

A young master could have enjoyed his wealth and luxury, so there was no need for him to risk his life to save his subordinate.

Such a loyal and devoted person died right in front of her; it felt like her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer.

Suddenly, over a hundred more men in black arrived, and they were all quite strong.

"Hurry up, Sister Liu!" Huang Yu shouted.

The night patrol members woke up their teammates, and the group carried Ji Lin away.

[The system has detected that the host has no vital signs; life reconstruction has begun...]

[Successfully consumed 20 points of Constitution.]

[Number of reshaping attempts today: 0/1]

[Countdown to Remodeling: Half an Hour]

Progress: 1%

Upon seeing the young master's death, everyone was downcast, their brows furrowed, and their heads slightly bowed.

Just as they returned to the Ji residence, someone was about to shout, "The young master is dead!!"

Ji Lin suddenly woke up, startling everyone in the night patrol team.

Seeing this, Liu Qingmei, who was wiping away tears, hugged Ji Lin tightly and pinched his muscles.

Although it still feels hard to the touch, it has regained its elasticity and warmth.

It's alive! It's really alive!

"Brother, don't scare me. I'll burn more paper money for you later. Rest in peace!" Huang Yu's voice trembled slightly.

Ji Lin glared at him sideways, "Big Beard, I shouldn't have saved you. I'll burn you later!!"

Tang Wu was deep in thought: "Boss, you clearly already... what happened?"

Liu Qingmei turned her head slightly so he wouldn't see the tear stains on her face.

He glanced at the girl in front of him. She was usually so energetic and impulsive, but today she showed a rare tenderness, which revealed a unique charm.

"This...it's hard to explain in a moment, I'll tell you later."

Ji Lin felt that this secret should indeed be told to the three of them. If the reconstruction process took too long, in an emergency, his body might be buried alive on the spot or thrown off a cliff, and that would be the end of him.

He told the night patrol members to go to the warehouse to collect their reward, and then everyone went their separate ways.

The three of them went to Ji Lin's room, where he told them about his life-reshaping skills, essentially entrusting his life to them.

Liu Qingmei and the others were quite surprised when they heard this.

"Seriously, such an incredible skill exists in the world?"

"Brother, you're really... incredibly lucky, no, you're blessed with extraordinary fortune!"

"I've worried about you for so long. Now that you're alright, just lie down and rest. I need to get some rest too."

She snorted coldly and walked out of the room with the other two.

Ji Lin told Yun Cui that if he died one day, she should preserve his body or the largest piece of flesh no matter what.

Although Yun Cui felt horrified, she quickly nodded and responded with "oh oh oh," as she had become accustomed to the young master's unusual behavior and words.

After everyone left, he discovered that his physique had improved, and dark golden lines were flowing under his skin.

It must be because it absorbed those abnormal energies.

He opened the properties panel:

【Season Arrival】

[Outliers: 25]

【Strength: 58/200】

Agility: 72/200

[Constitution: 57/200]

[Spirit: 68/200]

[Demonic Blood State Skills: Demonic Appearance - Shadow Strike, Demonic Appearance - Boiling Blood]

[Equipment Skills: Catastrophe - Blood Locust, Catastrophe - Water Illusion]

[Exclusive: Life Reshaping]

[Talent: Heavenly Demonic Pressure]

[Special Passive: Echoes of Dragon's Might]

After absorbing that energy, my attributes actually broke through the limit of 50, and each attribute increased by 20 points.

Is this equivalent to a martial artist achieving sainthood? Or is it a slightly stronger, moderate abnormality?

This time, there are two more skills: a new form skill for Demon Blood and a passive skill.

System prompt:

[Demonic Blood Fusion Rate: 15%]

[Echoes of Dragon's Might: Greatly reduces damage taken from mental attacks, and deals a certain amount of damage in counterattacks.]

【Demon Form - Boiling Blood: Pumps out a massive burst of power, capable of area-of-effect attacks】

The fusion rate of demonic blood has actually increased to 15%?

Hmm, these two skills look alright. The first skill needs no further explanation.

As for the second skill, it's an area-of-effect attack, which looks pretty good.

Finally, he distributed the outliers more evenly to avoid any unforeseen changes in the future.

[Outliers: 0]

【Strength: 68/200】

Agility: 72/200

[Constitution: 70/200]

[Spirit: 70/200]

Ji Lin was very satisfied; this harvest was quite good, much more than he had imagined.

To his surprise, after being exposed to the white light and absorbing its energy, a white dragon mark appeared in his mind.

Worse still, this celestial mark caused him to occasionally hear indistinct murmurs, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable...
