Lu Mo finally chose to break through.
Not with the power of Triple Fusion Sublimation, but by adding the power of the Demon Race alongside her Battle Qi, Wind, and Spatial attributes.
Her Fate attribute talent was only medium grade, and that couldn’t be changed. However, as the power of the Heart-Devouring Demon Race integrated into her body, she gained a talent for Demon Race power that was close to high grade.
Since her own attributes had already been eroded by demonic power, she might as well incorporate this force into her Fusion Sublimation as well.
She wanted to see… if, amidst the collision of these powers, she could ultimately complete the power of Quadruple Fusion Sublimation!
At this very moment, the three Demon Race nobles were preparing to launch their attack on Lu Mo.
They too sensed that Lu Mo’s aura was changing—becoming more chaotic, yet also growing stronger.
Around the girl, those illusory vein-like shadows were gradually transforming into reality.
‘The Sword of End… trying to break through now?’ The green-haired woman detected the anomaly, her breathing slightly disordered.
Was Lu Mo actually trying to break through in the midst of combat?
Breaking through to the Earth Vein Realm during battle was an extremely dangerous endeavor. Practitioners would only choose to do this in dire emergencies or when they possessed extreme confidence in themselves.
Not long ago, Solaris had just accomplished such a feat, slaying a Demon Race noble. Could it be that Lu Mo wanted to emulate her?
However, in her view, Lu Mo’s current aura was extremely unstable; she was very likely to fail in her breakthrough.
Even if she succeeded, so what?
How could someone who had just stepped into the Earth Vein Realm compare to nobles like them who had cultivated Earth Vein power for many years?
The green-haired woman initially wanted to sneer, to disrupt Lu Mo’s concentration and cause her to fail.
But…
Looking at Lu Mo’s still calm and indifferent expression, she found she couldn’t laugh.
She vaguely felt that Lu Mo wouldn’t do something without certainty.
If they let her continue, something extremely terrifying might happen.
“Stop her!” The green-haired woman snapped back to reality, shouting at the other two nobles. “Attack together, cut off her ambition completely!”
“Whoosh—”
As her words fell, Earth Vein power spread out like a spiderweb, sealing the space around Lu Mo.
Poisonous liquid surged from within the web.
Lu Mo swung her sword, cleaving through the poison and simultaneously tearing a corner of the web.
Just as she was about to escape, shadows suddenly rose from beneath her feet—
Like countless demonic claws, they firmly grabbed her ankles.
At the same time, the demon man named Sentu unleashed his Earth Vein power.
Blazing flames and giant rocks intertwined in the air, transforming into a colossal meteor that plummeted down towards Lu Mo. Dark flames burned fiercely, igniting even the surrounding space.
Before that meteor, Lu Mo seemed incredibly tiny.
“Miss Lu—!”
Cecilia reached out a hand towards her.
She wanted to pour all her strength into a blessing, to protect Lu Mo.
But under the pressure of three Earth Vein Realm auras, she couldn’t move a muscle.
She could only watch as Lu Mo was about to be engulfed.
Yet, at that moment—
A brand new power was being born from the chaotic torrent of energy swirling around her.
The talent for Demon Race power had successfully integrated into the Fusion Sublimation at this very instant!
A wisp of real Heaven and Earth Vein power broke through the illusory veins, manifesting itself.
“This… this is—”
Lu Mo’s pupils contracted sharply.
In the next instant, an extreme darkness erupted with her at the center, completely enveloping her and transforming into a black cocoon.
Simultaneously, the attacks of the three demons were all nullified.
“What’s going on?” The green-haired woman was stunned.
She clearly felt her Earth Vein power had just dissipated uncontrollably.
“Look, the Sword of End…” the shadow man whispered.
The three demons looked over and saw that within that mass of darkness, intense Demon Race power enveloped the girl.
“Demon World power?” Sentu wore an expression of disbelief. “A human… how could they transform into a demon during a breakthrough?”
“Could it be Soul Seizure?” the green-haired woman immediately said.
The other two instantly understood.
Right, Soul Seizure!
Back then, there was indeed a Soul-Devouring Demon by the Grand Duke’s side. She was tasked with finding suitable humans, devouring their souls, and taking their place.
Could it be that her chosen target was Lu Mo?
Had she been lurking within her all along, waiting for a moment of mental instability to complete the possession?
Just now was indeed the perfect opportunity.
Other than that, they couldn’t find any other explanation.
Sensing the Demon Race power surging within that darkness, the three of them let out a sigh of relief.
They landed on the ground and slowly walked towards the black cocoon.
“That Soul-Devouring clan member got a huge bargain…”
“The Sword of End, to end up like this?”
Their gazes quickly turned to Cecilia.
“Now, only she remains,” Sentu sneered.
“I remember her. Cecilia, the Saintess by the Slayer’s side. The Slayer has been using her blood to nurture his divine artifact…”
“Killing her is too cheap. How about refining her into a flesh and blood puppet? Both the Slayer and the Holy Sanctuary would go mad.”
“Let’s take her back and have some fun first.”
The nobles chuckled darkly.
Cecilia was still struggling desperately, trying to break free from the suppression.
What concerned her most right now wasn’t herself, but Lu Mo, wrapped within the black cocoon.
Even if she couldn’t escape, she had to find a way to awaken her.
She prayed in a low voice, “Miss Lu… you must not…”
“Crack—”
As if responding to her prayer, several fissures suddenly appeared on the black cocoon.
“Has the Soul Seizure been completed?” the shadow man murmured.
“Since you’re done, come and help,” the green-haired woman said casually. “Your mission was to infiltrate the humans. You don’t want your identity discovered by the Saintess, do you?”
“Crack, crack, crack—!”
The cracks rapidly expanded.
The three nobles paid no mind, still walking forward.
The next instant—
“Thud—!”
A jet-black, withered branch suddenly pierced through space, impaling the green-haired woman’s heart!
At the same time, several strands of black Earth Vein power shot out from the black cocoon, tearing through the void and directly assaulting Sentu.
Sentu hastily defended.
But the moment that branch-like power collided with his Earth Vein power, his expression changed drastically.
The impact force far exceeded what he could withstand!
His defense instantly crumbled.
The jet-black withered branches pierced through his limbs the next moment.
“Pfft—!”
Sentu spat blood, shouting in terror, “Shit, save—”
Before he could finish, a sword gleam slashed out from within the black cocoon.
In that instant, Sentu was cleaved in two.
His body split apart, blood gushing, entrails scattering.
Following the green-haired woman, the second Earth Vein Realm noble fell on the spot.
The shadow man stood frozen in place, his heart pounding with fear.
When the black cocoon completely shattered, he finally saw Lu Mo’s appearance clearly.
The girl stood there, seemingly unchanged, with no demonic features whatsoever.
But her aura was even colder.
She wasn’t out of control, not maddened, still calm and composed.
It was an aura where human and demon coexisted, like an angel and a demon existing side by side.
Behind her, Earth Vein power spread out, its color gradually shifting from light gray to pure black. From a distance, it looked like withered branches.
What kind of power that was, the shadow man couldn’t determine.
He only knew that its oppressive force was utterly terrifying, even making a noble like him feel suppressed and fearful.
Even fully fusing with the power of a Soul-Devouring Demon shouldn’t be able to reach this level.
—This point even puzzled Lu Mo herself.
When she fused and sublimated the four attributes of Battle Qi, Wind, Space, and Demon Race power, what she obtained wasn’t the power of Quadruple Fusion.
But… six paths.
During the fusion process, the Demon Race power shed its chaos and corruption, revealing a certain essence.
It was an existence completely opposite to the power of the human world.
Representing destruction, disorder, and change.
From a fusion perspective, it wasn’t a single attribute, but could combine with other attributes to form the “reverse” of those attributes.
Both opposite and seemingly complementary.
Lu Mo temporarily named this power—Reverse Attributes.
For example: Space and Reverse Space, Battle Qi and Reverse Battle Qi, Wind and Reverse Wind.
Therefore, she ultimately completed a Sixfold Fusion Sublimation.
When she hadn’t yet stepped into the Earth Vein Realm and only grasped Triple Fusion power, she could contend with the green-haired woman.
And now—
When she had truly stepped into the Earth Vein Realm and grasped Sixfold Fusion power, the three Earth Vein Realm nobles before her were like ants.
The girl tilted her head slightly, looking at the final Shadow Demon.
In that moment—
The Shadow Demon felt as if he was being scrutinized by a monarch.
His mind fractured, fear reaching its peak, almost making him kneel on the spot and bow in submission.
