Ch: 109-116
Chapter 109
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Shenhai's face turned instantly pale.
"Don't worry, you'll see him soon," Bai Ye said with a friendly smile.
Shenhai hadn't had time to scream when Bai Ye raised his hand.
"Bang!!!"
An invisible force slammed him into the wall, turning him into a puddle of seafood sauce.
Shenhai, dead.
Bai Ye dealt with them directly for a reason.
It was because he was disgusted by those guys when he first watched The Boys in black robes.
For these bottomless, dark characters who harm ordinary people, since Bai Ye was here, he naturally took the opportunity to eliminate them.
Vought Tower corridor.
A-Train was racing at high speed, cursing under his breath.
"Damn! That Homelander bastard stole my spotlight again!"
Suddenly, a black shadow blocked his path.
A-Train's pupils contracted sharply, but because he was in ultra‑high speed, he couldn't brake.
"Get out of the way!!"
A-Train roared, yet he still didn't intend to turn and slammed straight ahead.
"Boom!!!"
A-Train felt as if he had collided with a mountain; his entire skeleton shattered instantly!
He collapsed on the ground, convulsing in pain, staring terrified at the man before him.
"You... you..."
Bai Ye looked down at him with a smiling gaze and said, "You've crashed into innocent people before, right?"
A-Train's face turned black with fear, trembling as he shook his head to deny, "No, it wasn't me."
Bai Ye was too lazy to waste words on this nigga, and stepped down with his foot.
"Ka‑cha!"
A-Train, dead.
After dealing with A-Train, Bai Ye headed to the Vought Tower laboratory.
At that moment, Translucent was silently wiping a blood‑stained dagger in the lab when he suddenly looked up.
Bai Ye's silhouette had somehow already appeared before him.
Translucent instantly entered combat mode, thrusting the dagger forward!
"Clang!"
Bai Ye easily pinched the blade between two fingers, applying a slight pressure.
"Snap!"
The dagger shattered, and Translucent quickly retreated, assuming a fighting stance.
Bai Ye tilted his head, "A clone? So it's from the comic Universe, huh."
Translucent ignored Bai Ye and lunged forward!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Each of his strikes was precise and ruthless, yet Bai Ye didn't move a muscle, letting the punches land on his body.
Translucent grew increasingly anxious; his attacks couldn't even make the man step back.
"Had enough?"
With those words, Bai Ye grabbed Translucent's neck with one hand and lifted him up.
Translucent struggled wildly, to no avail, then Bai Ye's eyes flashed with golden light.
"Boom!!!"
Heat Vision erupted.
Translucent, dead... Vought Tower rooftop.
Mei Fu Queen was drinking alone when she suddenly turned sharply.
Bai Ye stood behind her, watching calmly.
Mei Fu clenched her fists and warned, "Who are you?"
"I am the one who cleans up trash," Bai Ye said cheerfully.
Mei Fu was silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile, "So... Homelander is dead?"
"Hmm."
Mei Fu let out a long sigh, as if a years‑long burden had been lifted.
"Thank you."
Bai Ye glanced at Mei Fu and turned away.
"You may leave; I don't kill women."
Mei Fu froze, then turned to leave.
The next second... Mei Fu collapsed heavily to the ground.
If this were the TV version of Mei Fu, Bai Ye might have spared her.
Unfortunately, this is the comic version—none of them are human... Vought Tower top‑floor office.
Edgar Vought was sitting at his desk when suddenly every computer screen in front of him went black.
"What the hell?!" he roared.
The next second, the office's bullet‑proof glass shattered with a roar, and Bai Ye walked in slowly.
Edgar's face turned pale; he forced a calm tone, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Bai Ye gave no answer, merely raised his hand and waved.
"Boom!!!"
The entire Vought Tower collapsed instantly!
Amid the dust, Bai Ye hovered in the air, looking at the ruins below.
"illusion dream."
[Network of this World connected; Vought Corp database hacked.]
The voice of the AI illusion dream resonated inside the armor, and invisible data streams rushed into Vought's core systems.
Within seconds, all encrypted files, experiment logs, surveillance footage, internal emails were cracked and copied.
"Found it."
illusion dream projected the gathered evidence before Bai Ye.
Videos of Homelander massacring civilians, including his Heat Vision burning innocent victims.
And the cover‑up evidence of A-Train killing a passerby.
Surveillance of Shenhai, A-Train and others raping a colleague and playing with seafood.
Mei Fu having sex with various men, ecstatic to the point of losing control, then a slip involving Sandman.
Detailed records of Translucent's assassination missions.
Vought Corp's experimental data on creating super‑humans using Compound V.
High‑level America government secret deals with Vought, and so on.
[Compiled into a complete evidence package. Release globally?]
"Release."
The next second, every news site, social media platform, government database, and dark‑web forum worldwide displayed an undeletable push notification.
"The Truth About Vought International: The Crimes and Lies of Superheroes"
Videos, files, recordings instantly swept the global network!
On the streets of New York, crowds stirred.
"Oh my God! Homelander, he killed so many people?!"
"A-Train killed someone and walked away laughing, then complained about only killing a bug?!"
"Shenhai, that pervert!!"
"Mei Fu's body is fine... ah no, that's disgusting, she must be punished."
"Vought Corp and America's top officials have been experimenting on ordinary people?!"
Angry citizens began storming Vought branches; the government convened an emergency meeting.
Lawmakers stared at the evidence on screen with pale faces; many of them were Vought's protectors.
"It's over," a high‑ranking official slumped into his chair.
At that moment, the The Boys Base, Billy Butcher stared at his screen and burst into maniacal laughter.
"Hahaha! Well done!!"
Hugh's eyes widened in disbelief, "Who did this?"
Francis: "Whoever it was, they just accomplished in minutes what we've been unable to do for years."
Chapter 156 Adventure World, Right‑Black Balance
Chapter 156 Adventure World, Right‑Black Balance
High above, Bai Ye looked down at the chaotic America elite, smiling faintly.
"Well, although my stay in this World was brief, I suppose I did some good deeds."
"With the information I released and Vought Corp's downfall, there shouldn't be any further problems."
"This World has been fully explored; it's time to pass through to the next one."
Bai Ye glanced at the collapsing Vought Tower; Compound 5 had already been seen through and decoded by his Divine Talent.
A golden Portal unfolded before Bai Ye, and at the other end a familiar city was faintly visible.
Bai Ye stepped through; a magical cloak billowed behind him... New World, New York (don't ask why it's always New York, because it's American comics, ~laugh).
On a bustling street, Bai Ye stood on the roof of a traditional building, his super senses fully activated.
Super hearing instantly captured the information he wanted.
A few blocks away, inside an antique shop.
"One more thing, Cheng Long, the University Administration called you; they want you to translate some ancient texts."
An old yet vigorous voice rang out.
"Alright," another young voice replied.
"Another thing, I can't read these inscriptions; they're very ancient characters. Now I'm going to the back of the shop to check my notebook," the elder continued with his catchphrase.
Chapter 110
"All right." The youth answered without the least impatience.
"One more thing—this is Jade, your niece. She's moving in with you for a year. Got it?"
Hearing that familiar catchphrase and exchange, Bai Ye smiled.
"So the World is confirmed, and Jade has only just arrived?"
Looks like the story's only just begun, Bai Ye thought, the corner of his mouth lifting.
Suddenly his Super Vision pierced several blocks, locking on to a few familiar figures.
Three none-too-bright-looking guys were hurrying toward the antique shop.
Perfect timing.
Bai Ye's form flickered and vanished on the spot.
He reappeared at a street corner, his armor replaced by a black suit.
Just as he prepared to act, his Divine Talent brain instantly detected a shift in this Universe.
The Universe itself seemed to have noticed Bai Ye's presence.
Because of the righteous qi on him, a corresponding dark force ballooned at extreme speed.
"Hm? So this is the yin-yang balance law of this Universe? Interesting—it actually strengthens the villains."
"And because of me, the good side's been boosted as well."
"Seems I came to the right place; I hope the changes will be interesting."
Facing the Universe's self-correction, Bai Ye did nothing to stop it; he let it run its course.
Not only because it was this Universe's own rule.
To the bored Bai Ye, unknown change was the only thing that excited him.
Otherwise, like in the last World, once boredom set in he would simply speed-run Vought International.
Right then, a black sedan screeched to a halt outside the antique shop.
Afan, Rasu, and Zhou shoved the door open with aggressive swagger.
"Hand over the shield!" Afan bellowed the moment he stepped in.
At that instant Bai Ye straightened his tie and, unruffled, walked toward the shop.
He soon pushed the door; the bell gave a rusty jingle.
The tense stand-off inside froze as every eye turned to the newcomer.
"Sorry to interrupt."
Bai Ye smiled as he looked around, his gaze drifting between Jackie and the Black Hand thugs.
"I heard you have some nice antiques?"
Afan frowned and waved impatiently. "Black Hand's handling business—beat it."
Jackie shielded Jade and shot Bai Ye a frantic look. "Sir, this is a private matter; you'd best leave."
Bai Ye pretended not to notice, strolling to the counter and eyeing the carved antique shield.
"Buddy, the shop's closed."
Zhou stepped up, reaching to grab Bai Ye's collar.
The next instant his wrist was clamped by a hand whose casual grip felt like iron; beneath the suit sleeve bulged clear muscle.
To his shock, no matter how he strained he couldn't break that languid hold.
0 roses 0
"You—!"
Zhou's face flushed red as his other hand darted for the pistol at his waist.
Still smiling, Bai Ye tightened his fingers slightly.
"Agh!" Zhou cried, dropping to his knees.
Seeing this, Rasu and Afan lunged—but to Bai Ye their movements were laughably slow.
Thud! Thud!
Two dull Impacts rang out; before they even realized what happened, pain flared at their necks and their vision went black as they collapsed.
Jade's eyes went wide; Jackie instinctively took a defensive stance. "Who are you?"
Bai Ye released the unconscious Zhou and turned, his gentle smile returning. "Relax, I'm here to help."
He pointed to the rooster talisman embedded in the shield.
"That talisman is dangerous; it needs to be kept by the professionals."
"How do you know it's a talisman—wait, what's a talisman?"
Jackie stayed on guard, asking cautiously.
"Because I'm a mage."
Bai Ye drew from his inner pocket a magic-energy storage capsule swirling with golden power.
"I come from the Himalayas to gather the talismans and stop Shendu from breaking free."
Jade peeked out from behind Jackie, eyes sparkling. "Whoa, a real wizard?"
"Jade!"
Jackie scolded under his breath, though his own wariness had already eased a little.
"Sir, if you're here to help, why knock them out? They're only—"
"They work for Valmont," Bai Ye cut in.
"Small fry for now, but they'll become a bigger threat soon."
With a light flick the rooster talisman detached from the shield and drifted into his palm.
Jackie stared in amazement. "Levitation magic?"
"Just a little trick." Bai Ye pocketed the talisman.
"Listen, Jackie—Shendu is hunting every talisman. Once he has them all, he'll regain full power."
"This World needs your help, but not in the way you're going about it."
Chapter 157 – Absorbing the talisman
Chapter 157 – Absorbing the talisman
"Then what should I do?" Jackie couldn't help asking.
"Keep doing your archaeology." Bai Ye walked toward the door.
"When I need you, I'll find you. For now, take your niece and get these people out of here."
Bai Ye pushed the door open and added, "Remember—learn more magic."
The instant the door closed, Bai Ye was gone, leaving Jackie and Jade staring at each other.
"Uncle Long," Jade said, tugging his sleeve excitedly.
"Did we just meet a wizard? Can I learn magic from him?"
Jackie gazed at the empty doorway, lost in thought.
"I'm not sure, Jade, but he was right about one thing—we need to deal with them fast."
Footsteps creaked on the wooden stairs from the second floor of the antique shop.
"And one more thing—three nine three!"
Uncle, round spectacles perched on his nose, came downstairs hugging a stack of thick old books.
"Jackie! Uncle needs you to bring the talismans—"
His words froze; he pushed his slipping glasses up and scanned the unconscious Black Hand thugs on the floor.
Jade waved her arms excitedly. "Uncle! A man who could use magic was just here—he waved like this—"
"Aiya!" Uncle smacked her head with a tome.
"Where are the talismans?!"
Around the street corner, Bai Ye toyed with the rooster talisman, feeling the magic inside.
Every book in the antique shop had been read the instant he stepped in.
Uncle's magic he'd already mastered effortlessly, thanks to Divine Talent.
"First piece in hand—feels no different from my Telekinesis."
Bai Ye was a bit disappointed; besides flight, the rooster talisman was just Telekinesis.
Combined with the Rabbit Talisman and Section 13 tech, it could break light-speed, travel through time.
But in this World where both good and evil are amped, maybe that combo alone could pull it off.
"Which talisman next?" Bai Ye rubbed his chin, making his pick.
"Speed rabbit, laser pig, healing horse, immortal dog..."
He decided; his gaze pierced every obstacle, sweeping the globe.
Finally, he spotted something odd in a cave inside a Mexican crater.
"Found you, fire-breathing dragon."
With a flick of his wrist, a golden Portal opened and Bai Ye stepped through.
The next second he hovered above the Mexican volcano, scorching updrafts unable to budge him.
Super Vision pierced the rock and locked onto the red glow deep in the magma chamber.
"What was Lo Pei thinking, hiding it in a place like this?"
Bai Ye chuckled and dove straight into the crater.
No time for the normal route—too slow.
Boiling lava churned around him yet couldn't come near.
His Bio-Force Field kept the heat at bay as he strolled across the lake of fire to a natural cave mouth.
Deep inside, the dragon talisman glowed red, embedded in the rock.
"Fire-breathing dragon, you're mine." Bai Ye plucked it free.
The instant his fingers touched it, he felt violent energy surge within.
Clutching the dragon talisman, he flew out of the crater high into the sky.
He stroked the talisman; the dragon motif on its surface seemed to come alive and swim across it.
Pinching it curiously, he was wrapped in blinding golden light.
The energy resonated wonderfully with the solar force of the cosmos inside him, filling him like never before.
Bai Ye raised the talisman toward a distant mountain peak.
Boom!!!
A colossal pillar of flame erupted from the dragon talisman.
The mountaintop vaporized on contact—no lava, just gone.
The terrifying Impact shook the area, showering stones.
In a distant town, people stared skyward in terror, clueless about what had happened.
"More than double the original power," Bai Ye remarked, eyeing the talisman.
He could feel its fiery energy resonating with the Heat Vision inside him.
He tried channeling it; his eyes blazed with fiercer golden light than ever.
Chapter 111
"Such strong power?"
"Or perhaps, the Superman power obtained from the meteorite before was too weak? It can actually stack..."
"The power of the dragon talisman comes from Shengzhu, and Shengzhu's power comes from his dimension. What if I absorb this magic into my body?"
Bai Ye flew high in the sky, contemplating the possibility of this.
"How would I know without trying?"
Bai Ye gently waved his hand, and the rooster talisman and dragon talisman immediately floated before him.
He formed a hand seal, and a golden magic circle slowly rotated beneath the talismans.
This was the Magic Stripping Technique he learned from Old Master's ancient texts.
"Demons and monsters, begone! Demons and monsters, begone!"
As the incantation was recited, the magic circle suddenly lit up, the talismans vibrated violently, and the runes on their surfaces began to peel off, transforming into two streams of light.
The cyan energy of the rooster talisman and the crimson energy of the dragon talisman intertwined, then spiraled upward.
Bai Ye spread his arms, allowing these two energies to surge into his body.
"Boom!"
His eyes burst forth with brilliant golden light, and energy surged around his body.
Bai Ye floated in mid-air, with faint, illusory outlines of a dragon and a flying bird appearing behind him.
Ancient patterns flowed across the surface of his skin as the two energies merged with him.
He closed his eyes, feeling the two energies coursing through his body.
Finally, the storm subsided.
Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes, the golden light within them gradually receding, but faint runes could still be seen flowing in the depths of his pupils.
The Telekinesis of the rooster talisman had perfectly combined with his Bio-Force Field and his own Telekinesis.
Now he didn't need to deliberately control 1.6; with a mere thought, he could make objects levitate.
The explosive flames of the dragon talisman had merged with his Heat Vision and freezing breath. Now, he could not only emit high-temperature rays.
He could also unleash destructive Dragon Flame Breath, far more powerful than before.
Although all these powers could be achieved with the blessing of the Power of Ten Billion Gods.
However, it's still the same as before. Telekinesis and Heat Vision were originally 1 plus infinity, now they are 1000 plus infinity.
Both the upper and lower limits have been strengthened to a certain extent.
The lower limit, meaning in a normal state without using the Power of Ten Billion Gods, he can unleash attacks far exceeding before.
The upper limit, when fully unleashed, is slightly stronger on the basis of destroying the Universe.
Although minuscule, for powerful individuals, even a tiny improvement can be the key to victory.
Chapter 158: The Eccentric El Toro Fuerte
Chapter 158: The Eccentric El Toro Fuerte
"Not bad, it worked, just as I expected."
"The magic of the talismans has become a part of my body. Even without the physical talismans, I can use their abilities."
"This is just the beginning." Bai Ye's thoughts drifted to the remaining talismans.
"The Twelve Talismans each represent different rules of power. If all of them are fused, my basic strength will increase significantly..."
Meanwhile
Black Hand Headquarters
Shengzhu's stone statue vibrated violently, his rage almost tangible: "The magic of the talismans has disappeared?!"
Valmont retreated nervously: "Shengzhu, what happened?"
"No! This is impossible!" Shengzhu roared.
"Unless the talismans' magic is erased by a higher power, it would never dissipate into thin air!"
He suddenly realized something, a hint of surprise flashing in his dragon eyes:
"Unless someone used magic to strip their power and integrate it into themselves!"
Valmont gulped: "Then what do we do?"
Shengzhu was silent for a moment, then sneered: "Keep looking! Bring back all the talismans! If someone can truly absorb talisman magic, then their body is the best vessel!"
"Since the talisman abilities can enhance my basic strength, then, the next talisman..."
Bai Ye's Super Vision scanned across Mexico, and soon, his gaze lingered on a construction site on the outskirts of a city.
His Super Vision penetrated the swirling dust, locking onto a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
El Toro Fuerte, the superhero who should have been shining brightly in the wrestling ring.
He was currently shirtless, wearing his iconic bull mask, and striding like a pro on the construction site, carrying a small excavator.
The surrounding workers seemed accustomed to this, with some even offering him water.
Bai Ye: ...Watching this bizarre scene, Bai Ye's expression was strange.
Is this El Toro Fuerte? The El Toro Fuerte who never takes off his mask?
Could it be the Mexico limited edition, construction site limited skin of El Toro Fuerte?
Bai Ye rubbed his temples, deciding not to dwell on the issue.
He raised his hand to open a golden Portal, then stepped directly into it... Mexico, a certain construction site.
The scorching sun hung high, and dust flew everywhere.
Bai Ye stood on the outskirts of the construction site, his Super Vision piercing through the chaotic crowd, locking onto a burly man wearing a bull mask.
He was indeed moving an excavator, and on his mask, a talisman emitting a yellowish-brown glow was embedded.
He walked towards El Toro Fuerte, and the surrounding workers scattered, seemingly instinctively sensing an invisible pressure.
El Toro Fuerte had just carried a small excavator to its designated position, wiped his sweat, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He spun around abruptly, seeing a man in black armor calmly looking at him.
"Who are you?"
El Toro Fuerte cautiously took half a step back, his muscles tensing.
Bai Ye didn't answer, his gaze falling directly on his mask.
The ox talisman was embedded in the center of the bull mask's forehead, emitting faint energy fluctuations.
"You're El Toro Fuerte, right?" Bai Ye said in fluent Spanish.
"I'm here to take something."
El Toro Fuerte subconsciously covered his mask, refusing: "You can't take it!"
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, teasing: "El Toro Fuerte never takes off his mask?"
El Toro Fuerte nodded seriously: "That's right!"
Bai Ye sighed, speaking helplessly: "Then why are you here at a construction site moving bricks? Alright, I'll try another way."
Bai Ye raised his hand and, from his private space, took out a Gene Enhancement Serum glowing with a faint blue fluorescence.
"This serum can allow you to easily lift excavators, and even become stronger."
Bai Ye shook the test tube, saying to El Toro Fuerte.
"How about it, in exchange for your talisman?"
El Toro Fuerte looked at the serum suspiciously, then shook his head: "El Toro Fuerte never takes off his mask!"
Bai Ye couldn't be bothered to waste any more words with this guy and his eyes lit up with red light.
A giant rock in the distance instantly evaporated, leaving no ash behind.
El Toro Fuerte's pupils constricted. He could feel that if he refused, he would definitely suffer greatly.
"Or do you want to experience being evaporated?" Bai Ye looked at him with a faint smile.
El Toro Fuerte gulped, sweat pouring down his face under the mask.
He looked at the talisman, then at Bai Ye, and suddenly shouted.
"El Toro Fuerte never surrenders!"
Then, El Toro Fuerte turned and ran!
Bai Ye: ..."Tsk."
Bai Ye's figure flashed, instantly appearing directly in front of El Toro Fuerte.
"I gave you a chance, but you're useless."
"Damn it!" El Toro Fuerte slammed on the brakes, almost crashing into Bai Ye.
He gritted his teeth, suddenly pulling out a construction rebar from behind him: "Then let's go!"
Bai Ye didn't even bother to move, a thought flickered.
Bang!
El Toro Fuerte suddenly felt his shoulder sink, and his entire body was pressed down by an invisible force, kneeling on one knee, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the ground.
"Now."
Bai Ye slowly walked up to him, and spoke softly:
"Give me the talisman, and you can go back to moving your excavator."
El Toro Fuerte struggled a few times, finding he couldn't move at all. "I'll give it to you!" El Toro Fuertefinally shouted unwillingly.
Bai Ye nodded, casually saying: "Don't worry, I won't shortchange you. The serum is still yours."
With that, Bai Ye snapped his fingers, and the pressure on El Toro Fuerte suddenly vanished.
Then, Bai Ye tossed the serum in his hand to El Toro Fuerte.
El Toro Fuerte caught the serum, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation, gritting his teeth and saying: "Alright!"
El Toro Fuerte carefully removed the ox talisman from his mask, handed it to Bai Ye, and then unhesitatingly injected himself with the serum.
Buzz!
As the serum entered his body, El Toro Fuerte's muscles slightly expanded, and a faint glow appeared on the surface of his skin.
El Toro Fuerte clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, then excitedly burst into laughter: "This is great!"
With that, El Toro Fuerte turned around and effortlessly lifted an excavator, even more easily than before!
"Thank you, friend!" El Toro Fuerte excitedly clapped Bai Ye on the shoulder.
Bai Ye ignored him, looking down at the ox talisman in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
His Divine Talent detected that the amplification rule contained within this ox talisman was: the stronger the user, the greater the amplification.
At least for now, for raw data that doesn't use the Power of Ten Billion Gods to modify it, it's definitely an exponential increase.
Chapter 159: Turtle Race
Chapter 159: Turtle Race
High in the sky.
Bai Ye played with the ox talisman, sensing the rule of strength it contained.
Chapter 112
Unlike the dragon talisman's ferocity, the energy of the ox talisman was denser and purer.
Bai Ye didn't hesitate and immediately began the fusion; the familiar magic array lit up again.
The ox talisman decomposed in a golden light, transforming into a torrent of earthy yellow energy that poured into Bai Ye's body.
His muscle fibers began to reorganize, his cell density increased at an astonishing speed, and his bones emitted faint popping sounds.
Boom!
Bai Ye casually threw a punch, and the punch force directly blasted a huge vacuum channel through the clouds ahead!
"Not bad."
Bai Ye clenched his fist, and the Divine Talent quickly analyzed the current amplification status.
"My base strength has now increased eighteenfold."
I wonder if, without using the Power of Ten Billion Gods to modify the data, my base strength alone is enough to fight the Green Scar Hulk?
More importantly, he felt that the rule power of the ox talisman was permanently branded within his body.
From now on, every inch of his muscle contained the concept of absolute strength.
In other words, excluding the talisman's inherent enhancement, the stronger he becomes after using the Power of Ten Billion Gods to modify and enhance himself, the greater the talisman's enhancement will be.
Only when he one day surpasses the limit the talisman itself can bear will the talisman cease to have an enhancement effect.
Bai Ye looked into the distance, his Super Vision piercing the clouds: "Next stop, the Rabbit Talisman."
Super Vision passed through layers of obstacles, spotting a beach, the sea, and a bay somewhere on the West Coast of America.
Soon, Bai Ye spotted a black turtle deep underwater, with a talisman embedded in its shell.
Bai Ye's figure instantly broke the speed of light and vanished directly into the azure sky.
Meanwhile, at a construction site in Mexico City, El Toro Fuerte was gesturing to a group of dumbfounded co-workers: "I told you that was a god!"
...America West Coast
Somewhere high above the sea
Bai Ye hovered above the clouds, his Super Vision piercing the azure seawater, locking onto a black turtle swimming in the deep sea.
Embedded in its shell was a Rabbit Talisman radiating a pale blue light.
"How interesting. A rabbit carved onto a turtle's back. The Tortoise and the Hare race, huh..."
Bai Ye shook his head, and with a flash of his figure, instantly vanished from the spot.
The next second, his figure appeared directly in the deep sea. His Bio-Force Field isolated the water pressure, allowing him to hover in the water as if standing on level ground.
The turtle seemed to sense something, abruptly turning its head, its mung bean-like eyes meeting Bai Ye's gaze for a second.
Then... "Whoosh!"
The Rabbit Talisman suddenly lit up, and the turtle's figure instantly vanished!
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, a flash of interest in his eyes: "Racing me?"
His Super Dynamic Vision captured the turtle's movement trajectory.
It was traveling at supersonic speed through the seabed, tearing the water flow apart to form a tunnel!
"Interesting."
Bai Ye chuckled softly, his figure suddenly accelerating, also turning into an afterimage as he chased after it!
"Boom!"
Deep in the sea, two figures traversed at terrifying speeds.
The turtle looked back, didn't spot Bai Ye's figure, and a human-like expression of smugness appeared on its face.
But when it turned its head back, it was almost scared to death.
Bai Ye, having appeared sometime unknown, was now located directly ahead and to its left, flying flat out at extreme speed without making a sound.
Seeing the turtle notice him, Bai Ye smiled and waved at it.
After a brief fright, a humanized determination flashed in the turtle's eyes.
Immediately, the Rabbit Talisman on the turtle's back flashed with light, and its speed erupted again!
"Whoosh!"
The turtle's speed soared again, breaking through conventional limits. Wherever it passed, the seawater was evaporated by high temperatures, forming a boiling trajectory!
Bai Ye followed unhurriedly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Let me see how fast you can go."
The turtle seemed to have its competitive spirit aroused; the Rabbit Talisman's light grew brighter, and its speed continued to climb.
The waters of the Pacific Ocean were torn apart as the two figures streaked through the deep sea like meteors.
In just a few seconds, they had crossed directly from the West Coast of America to the central Pacific Ocean!
The turtle looked back again, its eyes carrying a hint of provocation, as if saying, "Can you keep up?"
Bai Ye smiled. An interesting little turtle, but... "The fun's over."
A golden light flashed in Bai Ye's eyes, and Telekinesis erupted abruptly!
"Buzz!"
The turtle's body was instantly restrained by an invisible force, unable to move!
"Whoosh!"
Bai Ye instantly appeared in front of it, reaching out and gently plucking it off.
The Rabbit Talisman detached from the shell and fell into his palm.
Turtle: "..."
Bai Ye looked at the Rabbit Talisman in his hand, sensing the rule of extreme speed contained within it.
"Not bad. More interesting than I imagined."
Bai Ye looked down at the turtle and casually created a Wisdom Energy sphere using the Life Equation.
Considering the little turtle provided him with some amusement, this counted as compensation for it.
The turtle swallowed it in one gulp. A light of wisdom immediately flashed in its eyes, and it nodded in a surprisingly human-like manner before slowly swimming away.
Bai Ye stopped delaying, immediately activated the Magic Stripping Technique, and merged the power of the Rabbit Talisman into his body.
"Buzz!"
The magic array unfolded again, and the pale blue energy surged into his limbs and bones.
His cell structure began to optimize, his neural reaction speed skyrocketed, and he could even feel the flow of time slowing down!
"Interesting. Is this the Rule of Extreme Speed?"
Bai Ye mobilized this rule and gently stepped forward.
"Boom!!!"
His entire person vanished instantly; the surrounding scenery seemed to freeze.
"Not a bad feeling, it's a new experience."
Bai Ye nodded in satisfaction, casting his gaze toward the distance.
"Next stop, it's time to find the Pig Talisman."
His figure abruptly disappeared, leaving behind only an unvanished vacuum trace... Germany, Bavaria
An ancient clock tower stood in the town center, its massive gears turning slowly, emitting a dull roar.
At the top of the clock tower, a stone-carved pig statue stood silently, its eyes inlaid with a talismanradiating pink light.
Bai Ye's figure stepped out from a golden Portal, landing directly on top of the clock tower.
A breeze swept past, making his Magic Cloak flutter slightly, his gaze resting calmly on the Pig Talisman.
"This time was smooth."
Bai Ye reached out, and the Pig Talisman detached from the statue's eye, floating into his palm.
Strange energy flowed across the surface of the talisman, seemingly containing a rule of destruction.
Chapter 160 Yin-Yang Balance
Chapter 160 Yin-Yang Balance
Without hesitation, Bai Ye directly activated the Magic Stripping Technique. The magic array unfolded beneath his feet, and pink energy flowed into his eyes like a trickle.
"Buzz!"
Deep within Bai Ye's pupils, a strange pattern gradually emerged within the originally scorching golden light.
Divine Talent instantly analyzed how this power strengthened him.
It added an Energy Explosion effect on top of the Heat Vision's high temperature, which would yield miraculous results when stacked with the Dragon Blast.
Bai Ye closed his eyes, sensing the new power, highly satisfied.
"Let's test the power."
Bai Ye's figure instantly disappeared, reappearing standing atop an isolated peak in the Alps.
As far as his eyes could see, a thousand-meter-high snow mountain stood towering in the distance.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and the golden light in his pupils grew increasingly intense.
"Heat Vision!"
Boom!!!
Two blazing beams burst forth from his eyes. Wherever they passed, the air twisted and space trembled!
"Bang!!!"
The snow mountain was directly pierced. A massive amount of energy detonated inside, causing the entire peak to collapse from within, and an avalanche swept down like a tsunami!
Bai Ye did not stop, slightly shifting his line of sight parallel.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The Heat Vision swept across like a laser knife, further slicing the collapsing snow mountain.
In the end, the entire mountain range was forcefully leveled by the Heat Vision!
As the smoke and dust dispersed, the once majestic snow mountain had now turned into ruins.
"Not bad." Bai Ye nodded in satisfaction. "It's more than just one level stronger than simple Heat Vision."
The Pig Talisman's Energy Explosion rule ensured his Heat Vision was no longer just high-temperature scorching.
Instead, it could trigger a secondary Energy Explosion upon hitting the target, increasing the destructive power geometrically!
Bai Ye looked up into the distance, his Super Vision piercing the clouds, locking onto the next target.
"Seven talismans left."
His figure suddenly vanished, leaving behind only the ravaged snow mountain, bearing witness to this newborn destructive power... Hong Kong, Kowloon City.
Inside an unassuming antique shop, sandalwood incense smoke curled around various curios displayed on mahogany shelves.
Chapter 113
The shop owner was a lean middle-aged man, appraising the newly arrived customer.
A young man dressed in a refined black suit, with a steady demeanor and profound eyes.
"Sir, see anything you like?" The shop owner rubbed his hands, a solicitous smile on his face.
Bai Ye's gaze fell directly on the tiger's eye of a bronze tiger sculpture in the corner of the counter.
A black and white talisman was quietly embedded within it.
"This, how much?" Bai Ye pointed to the tiger sculpture.
The shop owner's eyes darted, and he showed a troubled expression: "Oh, this is an ancient artifact from the Tang Dynasty, the treasure of our shop..."
"Name your price." Bai Ye couldn't be bothered with the shop owner's nonsense.
"Three million! Hong Kong Dollars!"
The shop owner held up three fingers, secretly observing Bai Ye's reaction.
Bai Ye was expressionless, directly pulling out a card: "Five million, deal now."
The shop owner's pupils constricted, then he was overjoyed: "Deal!"
A few minutes later, Bai Ye walked out of the shop with the packaged tiger sculpture.
Behind him, the shop owner's suppressed snicker could be heard: "Haha, I'm rich! I bought that junk for 100,000 from a street vendor..."
Bai Ye shook his head upon hearing this, saying nothing.
Suburban mountain forest.
Bai Ye stood on the empty rock platform, holding the newly extracted Tiger Talisman in his palm.
Black and white energy flowed over the surface of the talisman, intertwining like yin and yang fish.
Divine Talent quickly analyzed the rules of this Tiger Talisman.
Within a few seconds, Bai Ye successfully understood the rules of the Tiger Talisman.
The rule of the Tiger Talisman is the Law of Balance, which can harmonize all conflicting energies and grant the authority of differentiation and imbalance.
After the analysis, Bai Ye no longer hesitated, and the Magic Stripping Technique was activated!
"Buzz!"
A black and white interwoven torrent of energy surged into his body, and he immediately felt a cool power circulating throughout his entire being.
The talisman energies that had been surging within his body—the Dragon's ferocity, the Chicken's lightness, the Ox's might, the Rabbit's swiftness, the Pig's destructiveness—were now like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, becoming incredibly docile!
Even more astonishingly, he perceived that deep within his cells, all forces had achieved a perfect dynamic balance.
"Just as the analysis showed, the Tiger Talisman doesn't enhance, but regulates."
With a thought, he suddenly raised his hand and aimed at an ancient tree in the distance, and black and white light beams shot out from his palm!
"Swish!"
The ancient tree struck by the light beam trembled violently, and its trunk slowly split into two halves.
One half was full of vitality, while the other quickly withered and decayed!
This was an attack by Bai Ye using a combination of the Life Equation and the Anti-Life Equation.
"Differentiation!"
A sharp glint flashed in Bai Ye's eyes, and he experimented again, this time targeting a rock.
Enveloped by the black and white light beam, countless cracks suddenly appeared on the rock's surface, its internal structure violently conflicted, and finally, with a bang, it exploded into dust!
"Imbalance!"
Bai Ye clenched his fist, feeling an unprecedented sense of coordination within his body.
If the previous talismans were like filling a powder keg with explosives, then the Tiger Talisman was the most precise safety fuse.
Although he could forcefully modify these power settings to balance them with the Power of Ten Billion Gods.
It was still more comfortable to have a natural balance.
"Then, next, the Dog Talisman!"
Bai Ye's gaze once again pierced through layers of obstacles, looking towards Europe.
In an ancient castle, he sensed the talisman's fluctuation.
The next second, he vanished from his spot.
Northern Europe, deep within the Scandinavian Mountains.
An ancient Gothic castle stood on the edge of a cliff, with pointed spires and stone walls covered in vines.
Bai Ye stood before the rusty iron gate, his Super Vision having already penetrated the thick stone walls, locking onto a hound statue in the castle's main hall.
The Dog Talisman was embedded between its open fangs.
"It's well hidden."
Bai Ye raised his hand and pushed open the iron gate, the decaying hinges letting out a piercing creak.
The castle interior was dim and damp, moonlight casting dappled shadows through the stained-glass windows.
Just as he stepped into the hall... "Swish!"
A shadow swooped down from the ceiling, sharp claws aiming directly for Bai Ye's throat!
"Snap!"
Bai Ye didn't even lift his head, single-handedly grabbing the attacker's neck and suspending him in mid-air.
It was a pale-faced man with crimson pupils and sharp fangs protruding from the corners of his mouth.
"A Vampire? Interesting."
Bai Ye's eyes instantly scanned the opponent's entire body, and Divine Talent quickly analyzed its principles.
"Cellular structure mutation, blood replacing energy circulation, weakness to silver and sunlight, a cliché setup."
Chapter 161 Immortality and Invisibility
Chapter 161 Immortality and Invisibility
The Vampire struggled frantically, his sharp claws tearing at Bai Ye's arm, but unable to even scratch his skin.
"Humans can't be this strong!" he roared.
Bai Ye couldn't be bothered with idle talk, a wisp of Dragon Flame flickering at his fingertips.
"Hiss!"
The Vampire instantly turned to ashes and drifted away.
"Are you the only one in the castle?"
Bai Ye looked around, his Super Hearing catching faint breathing sounds from the cellar.
Over a dozen Vampires were hiding below.
He shook his head, a Heat Vision beam piercing through the floor, and the cellar collapsed in flames, ending the lives of those Vampires.
Walking to the bronze hound statue, Bai Ye reached out and took the Dog Talisman.
Emerald green light flowed in his palm, emitting the rule fluctuations of immortality.
"Begin fusion."
A magic circle unfolded beneath his feet, and the Dog Talisman's energy flowed into his body like a trickle.
Bai Ye felt a warm power permeate every cell, and ancient protective runes appeared on the surface of his DNA.
Divine Talent activated once again, analyzing this power.
A hint of surprise appeared on Bai Ye's face; it actually granted him a concept-level immortality characteristic.
Moreover, Bai Ye roughly deduced that after being empowered by the Power of Ten Billion Gods, even a super-single-Universe level existence would be unable to erase him.
Thinking this, Bai Ye's fingers became like a blade, suddenly striking his own heart!
"Clang!"
Emerald green patterns of the Dog Talisman appeared on the surface of his skin, and his finger was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Is that how it is?" Bai Ye nodded, instantly understanding.
"As long as all my cells aren't instantly annihilated, I can regenerate indefinitely."
Suddenly, Bai Ye noticed the Dog Talisman's energy resonating with the previously fused Tiger Talisman.
The Law of Balance was optimizing the immortality characteristic into a more efficient form!
"Five talismans left."
Bai Ye looked into the distance, his Super Vision scanning again... Mexico, deep within the Yucatán Peninsula.
In the dense rainforest, an ancient Mayan Pyramid stood silently, its vine-covered stone walls carved with serpentine reliefs.
Bai Ye hovered at the top of the pyramid, his gaze penetrating the thick stone walls, locking onto a Feathered Serpent God statue perched on the altar.
The Snake Talisman was embedded in its third eye, emitting a faint green glow.
"I didn't expect there to really be a snake here?" Bai Ye was somewhat surprised.
"Hiss!"
A giant snake, over thirty meters long, darted out from the pyramid's shadow!
Its body was covered in emerald-like scales, its vertical pupils glowed like molten gold, and venom dripping from its fangs corroded the rocks, producing wisps of white smoke.
Bai Ye sighed, looking at the poised giant snake: "Move aside, I don't want extra snake soup."
The giant snake flicked its tongue, unmoved.
Without further ado, a golden light flashed in Bai Ye's eyes, and he directly activated his ability!
"Buzz!"
Telekinesis, like an invisible giant hand, slammed the snake's head into the ground, shaking the entire altar.
The giant snake writhed frantically, its tail smashing several stone pillars, but it couldn't break free.
"It would have been better this way from the start." Bai Ye shook his head, leisurely walking to the Feathered Serpent God statue and easily prying off the Snake Talisman.
The giant snake let out an unwilling hiss, and Bai Ye glanced at it: "If you make any more trouble, I'll throw you into a ditch."
Upon hearing this, the giant snake instantly quieted down.
The faint green talisman circulated in his palm, and Bai Ye directly initiated the fusion ritual.
As the Snake Talisman's energy surged into his body, Bai Ye discovered that his presence was diluted.
It wasn't optical invisibility, but a more fundamental concealment of existence!
Divine Talent quickly analyzed that it was physically invisible, including all detection methods such as infrared and ultrasound.
His presence was nullified; even if he stood right in front of someone, they would subconsciously ignore him.
Only high-dimensional beings like the Dimensional Demon Gods and the Four Great Deities would likely be able to perceive him.
With a thought, Bai Ye instantly faded from the material World.
He walked in front of the giant snake and found that it couldn't perceive him at all, idly flicking its tongue.
0 Seeking fresh flowers
"A good infiltration skill."
Bai Ye canceled his hidden state, suddenly appearing before the giant snake.
"Hiss?!" The giant snake recoiled more than ten meters in fright.
Bai Ye no longer paid attention to it, feeling the new ability's synergy with the other talismans.
Chapter 114
The rooster talisman's Telekinesis allowed him to move objects while hidden, and the Rabbit Talisman's super speed let him move silently.
The Tiger Talisman's balance perfectly coordinated all energy fluctuations while he was hidden.
"Four left."
Bai Ye looked up into the distance, his gaze piercing through obstacles, locking onto an antique shop in Neon... Neon, Tokyo.
The antique street was brightly lit under the night sky, and Bai Ye stood in front of an antique shop named Yakumo-sai.
His Super Vision penetrated the thick walls, locking onto a three-meter-tall bronze statue of the Eight-Headed Serpent.
The Rat Talisman was embedded in the third eye of the central snake head, emitting an amber glow.
"Interesting, since I came too early, it's not at the auction, is it?"
Bai Ye pushed the door open, and the wind chimes made a crisp sound.
The shop owner, an old man with round glasses, immediately greeted the customer enthusiastically:
"Sir, are you interested in mythological sculptures? This is from the Edo period..."
"How much?" Bai Ye interrupted directly.
The old man narrowed his eyes: "Thirty million Japanese Yen, this is..."
A check was directly pushed onto the counter by Bai Ye.
The old man looked down, and his hands began to tremble; the amount column clearly stated three hundred million Japanese Yen.
Bai Ye didn't feel bad; after all, this money wasn't his.
illusion dream had already helped him solve this problem since he came to this World.
A few minutes later, in the warehouse.
Bai Ye observed the three-meter-tall bronze statue.
The eight snake heads were ferocious and terrifying, and the scales were carved lifelike.
"The Rat Talisman's Life Bestowal." Bai Ye reached out and touched the talisman.
"I wonder to what extent it can reach."
Chapter 162: Bestowing Life
Chapter 162: Bestowing Life
As Bai Ye's fingertip touched the talisman's surface, a dazzling light suddenly erupted.
"Buzz!!!"
The entire statue trembled violently, and red patterns appeared on its bronze surface.
"Roar!!!"
Amidst a deafening roar, the Eight-Headed Serpent's pupils lit up with a crimson glow, and its statue body instantly transformed into flesh and blood!
All eight snake heads rose simultaneously, their cold vertical pupils locking onto Bai Ye.
Bai Ye watched this behemoth with interest.
"Quite a temper."
The Eight-Headed Serpent didn't attack immediately, staring at Bai Ye warily.
It sensed a deadly danger from Bai Ye.
Suddenly, it violently smashed through the ceiling, its massive body slithering towards the street.
Bai Ye's figure flickered, already blocking the center of the street.
Screams rose and fell in the distance, and passersby looked at the suddenly appearing monster in horror.
The Eight-Headed Serpent seemed startled by Bai Ye's instant appearance, and the Rat Talisman once again burst forth with dazzling light!
Rumble... The Eight-Headed Serpent's body began to swell crazily, its scales rubbing together with a metallic sound.
Ten meters... fifty meters... a hundred meters... In the blink of an eye, its body was comparable to a skyscraper, and its eight heads let out massive roars.
Even the Tokyo Tower seemed dwarfed by its terrifying size.
The entire Tokyo instantly fell into panic, and air raid sirens blared across the night sky.
"Now this is more like it."
Bai Ye hovered in front of the great serpent, deliberately suppressing his strength.
"Let me see what you can do."
"Hiss!"
All eight heads attacked simultaneously!
The left side sprayed corrosive poisonous mist, the right side shot Water blades, lightning fell from above, and flames attacked from behind.
Bai Ye elegantly dodged and weaved in the air, each time pretending to barely avoid the attacks just in time.
He deliberately let a bolt of lightning graze his shoulder, feigning insufficient strength.
Boom!
One snake head struck him down, and Bai Ye pretended to accidentally crash into a building, stirring up a sky full of smoke and dust.
"Help!"
"That hero is injured!"
"Where's the Self-Defense Force? Quick, save him!"
The terrified populace on the ground saw the black figure struggle to stand up amidst the smoke and dust.
The Eight-Headed Serpent pressed its advantage, three heads biting down simultaneously!
Bai Ye dodged, and the building behind him was crushed by the snake heads.
"Still not enough. With your strength, Tony could tear you apart."
While dodging, Bai Ye continuously analyzed the great serpent's situation using his Divine Talent.
"Physical hardness exceeds the norm, and its strength is also good."
Suddenly, the great serpent's scales began to glow with a metallic luster, and its attack speed instantly increased!
The Rat Talisman seemed to sense its host's will, breaking through its limits.
"That's more like it." Bai Ye showed a satisfied smile.
The battle entered a fierce stage.
Each of the great serpent's attacks caused a small earthquake, while Bai Ye pretended to struggle to keep up.
He deliberately let a Water blade graze his left arm, feigning a slowing of his movements.
"Alright, it's time to end this." Bai Ye seized the opportunity and suddenly erupted.
He leaped hundreds of meters high, condensing a dazzling ball of light in his hands.
This was a simulated ultimate technique after he suppressed his power to one-hundred-millionth.
"Boom!!!"
The light ball struck the great serpent's central head, causing a violent explosion.
After the thick smoke dispersed, the Eight-Headed Serpent crashed to the ground, its body beginning to disintegrate.
Amidst the cheers of the populace, Bai Ye landed on the ruins and picked up the fallen Rat Talisman.
His Super Hearing caught the discussions coming from all directions.
"Is he a hero from a comic book?"
"So strong! He actually defeated that monster single-handedly!"
"Look at the news! The government has already given him a codename, Black Knight."
Bai Ye glanced around and instantly vanished from the spot.
Tokyo Bay
Bai Ye stood on the deck of an abandoned freighter, the freshly acquired Rat Talisman suspended in his palm.
A faint light flowed in the night, and a rat-shaped pattern was carved on the talisman's surface.
Bai Ye didn't hesitate and quickly began the fusion process.
He gently waved his hand, and a familiar magic circle unfolded beneath his feet.
But this time, the talisman's energy flow was completely different from before.
Instead of directly strengthening Bai Ye's body, it opened up a brand new source of life within him.
"This is...?"
Bai Ye could clearly feel that every one of his cells had gained the trait of bestowing life.
He casually picked up a rusty nail from the deck and injected a trace of the Rat Talisman's energy... Buzz!
The nail instantly twisted and deformed, transforming into a small metal snake that affectionately coiled around his finger.
Moreover, the small snake's strength was increasing at a visible rate!
Bai Ye felt that the talisman's ability seemed a bit different; he had already discovered this during the battle through his Divine Talent.
Through Divine Talent analysis, this enhanced Rat Talisman has: the ability for bestowed life objects to gain continuous enhancement, with an upper limit of 0.0001 of Bai Ye's original power.
Don't underestimate this 0.0001 percent; with Bai Ye's Power of Ten Billion Gods, his single Universestrength, 0.0001 percent is enough to easily explode stars.
Of course, in most cases, Bai Ye uses basic values, but that's already strong enough.
Bai Ye also noticed that this thing seems to truly be able to resurrect some items with mythological characteristics.
A flicker of excitement passed through Bai Ye's eyes. He raised his hand towards the entire freighter, and the Rat Talisman's energy surged out like a tide!
Boom!
The hundreds of meters long steel giant ship let out a deafening metallic roar, its hull twisting and reorganizing, transforming into a mechanical giant whale that soared into the sky!
Its armor strengthens at a rate of 2% per second, and will soon reach 0.0001 of Bai Ye's current power intensity.
Although it's insignificant to Bai Ye, it would still be a dominant force in this World. 5.9
"Interesting."
Bai Ye snapped his fingers, and the mechanical giant whale transformed back into a freighter.
"Not just a toy, this is the ability to mass-produce legions."
"Three talismans left."
Bai Ye's gaze pierced through the clouds, locking onto an underwater village in a certain sea area.
The remaining Monkey Talisman was in that location!
"Grants transformation ability? I wonder if the talisman, after being enhanced by the World, can transform into Sun Wukong?"
"If it really turns into Sun Wukong, will it have the Seventy-Two Transformations, Fiery Golden Eyes, and so on?"
Bai Ye stroked his chin, his mind unable to stop wandering.
Chapter 115
I have to say, coming to this World is truly amazing; interesting things keep happening one after another.
I hope the subsequently strengthened Lord of the Demons, the few Demons, and those Shadow Masks can be a bit more interesting...
Chapter 163: The Transforming Monkey
Chapter 163: The Transforming Monkey
At the edge of a trench in a certain sea area.
Bai Ye floated high in the air, his Super Vision probing into the sea.
In the dark underwater canyon, an ancient village stood silently, its buildings covered with countless glowing coral.
"Oh? There's something else?"
Bai Ye discovered a giant sea monster below. Intrigued, he didn't hesitate and quickly descended.
Bai Ye's Bio-Force Field pushed away the surrounding seawater, allowing him to land precisely in front of the altar at the center of the village.
On the altar, a stone monkey statue held a Monkey Talisman radiating amber light, its surface flowing with strange transformation patterns.
"Hmph, transforming monkey, let me see what you can do."
Bai Ye reached out and took the talisman. The moment he touched it—
"Rumble!!"
The entire seafloor suddenly trembled violently, and huge fissures cracked open in the seabed beneath the village.
A Type 04 Octopus, over a hundred meters in diameter, awoke from the abyss. This was the giant sea monster Bai Ye had previously sensed.
The gigantic octopus locked its crimson single eye onto Bai Ye before it.
"A distant relative of Cthulhu?"
Bai Ye watched with interest as the octopus swept its suction-cup-covered tentacles toward him.
He unhurriedly raised the Monkey Talisman, and the talisman shone brightly.
"Change."
At Bai Ye's command, the colossal deep-sea monster, which had been obscuring the sky, instantly shrank.
It turned into a small goldfish flapping its fins, foolishly swimming in circles in the water.
"The effect is good. It's somewhat similar to Reality Manipulation."
Bai Ye nodded in satisfaction, then returned to the shore and quickly deployed the Fusion Magic Array.
The Monkey Talisman transformed into a stream of light and merged into his body. In that instant, he felt an unprecedented power of transformation awakening in his bloodline.
Divine Talent quickly analyzed the power the Monkey Talisman brought him.
Divine Talent finished its analysis quickly. After absorbing the Monkey Talisman, Bai Ye gained Creator-level Authority over Transformation.
Life Reshaping: capable of permanently altering any life form, unless the target is stronger than himself.
For example, turning a human into a half-beastman, such as the strength of a bear plus the agility of a...
Imbuing creatures with mixed characteristics, such as the wings of an eagle plus the speed of a cheetah plus the appearance of a...
Creating Chaotic Forms, allowing the target's four limbs to mutate into different species.
Animation of Inanimate Objects: breaking the boundary between life and non-life.
Turning a car into a Transformer, a permanent intelligent life form.
Unlike the Rat Talisman, this ability allows objects to possess more capabilities.
Granting self-awareness to weapons, such as a sword that fights autonomously.
Creating mixed-material life, such as a life form combining rock and animal characteristics.
The transformation effect is permanent unless he actively dispels it.
He can maintain multiple transformed bodies simultaneously, and the transformation process is irreversible unless the opponent is stronger than him.
Excitement flickered in Bai Ye's eyes. He had to admit this ability was very interesting to him; calling him a Creator wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Not only can he strengthen his teammates, but he can also turn opponents into animal hybrids.
Most importantly, he can now hand-craft Transformers!
Unlike the Rat Talisman's ability to grant life, the Monkey's ability is to grant new life.
In other words, the things he transforms are blank slates, completely subject to his command.
Although the Rat Talisman's ability can resurrect things, they possess extremely strong self-awareness, making them too unstable.
He can now grant ordinary people the ability to fly, or the ability to breathe underwater.
If he gives someone the ability of a Tardigrade, wouldn't they achieve longevity?
Without further thought, Bai Ye used Telekinesis to control a piece of rock and began experimenting.
"Transform into a Sabretooth."
A flash of light passed, and the rock instantly swelled and transformed, becoming a roaring Basalt Sabretooth!
Wisdom flickered in the stone tiger's eyes, and it actively rubbed its head against Bai Ye's hand.
"Not bad."
Bai Ye pointed at a fishing boat in the distance and used the power of the Monkey Talisman.
"Transform into a shark-shaped submarine."
The sound of twisting metal rang out as the sunken boat restructured into a Mechanical Giant Shark, its turbine engines roaring in its gills.
Next, Bai Ye continued his experiments with the Monkey Talisman.
For example, turning coral into singing Water Sprites, and transforming the magma erupting from an underwater volcano into Fire Dragons.
Remodeling a clump of seaweed into a Thorned Vine Warrior.
Every creation perfectly executed Bai Ye's will, and furthermore...
He thought of a possibility: combining it with the Rat Talisman.
Then the creation would gain continuous reinforcement ability, though the upper limit would still be 0.0001 of his energy.
Learning Evolutionary Traits, allowing for autonomous development of new forms.
"Permanent existence, autonomous evolution?"
Bai Ye noticed that the first creation, the Basalt Sabretooth, was slowly increasing in size, and its scales were becoming sharper.
Bai Ye suddenly showed a playful smile. He raised his hand and aimed it at the small goldfish still swimming in circles.
"Restore original form, and add some special features."
Boom!
The goldfish instantly swelled back into a giant octopus, but now, the tip of each of its eight tentacles had grown a shark head.
Its back was covered in scales, and its suction cups could even spray high-pressure Water Blades!
"Go."
Bai Ye patted this Deep Sea Overlord Version 2.0 and commanded:
"Go and dominate the ocean World."
The octopus buzzed, leading its newly created Rock 213 Sabretooth, Mechanical Shark, and other creations as they swam majestically into the distance.
"Two talismans remain."
Bai Ye looked into the distance, his Super Vision piercing through the clouds, seeing the goat talismanon a statue inside a temple on the Tibetan Snow Mountain.
And, a monster with a goat's head and a human body, wearing a monk's robe, was sitting cross-legged in the center of the main hall.
A Tin Staff lay across its legs, it held Buddhist Prayer Beads, and it muttered incantations under its breath.
Bai Ye's expression was strange. What kind of bizarre combinations were these?
But wasn't this exactly what piqued his interest?
Bai Ye smiled slightly and then vanished from the spot.
Tibet, Mount Kailash Snow Mountain.
Amidst the swirling snow, Bai Ye stepped onto an ancient temple suspended on a cliff face.
The painted designs on the wooden pillars were already mottled, and the Prayer Flags flapped loudly in the strong wind.
His Super Vision penetrated the heavy temple doors, seeing the monster with a human body and a goat's head sitting cross-legged in the center of the main hall.
It was draped in a tattered monk's robe, its withered, claw-like hands twisted the Buddhist Prayer Beads, and a rusty Tin Staff lay across its knees.
The goat talisman was embedded between the statues behind it, emitting a faint blue light.
"Squeak."
Bai Ye pushed open the door. Wind and snow swirled into the hall, and the flame of the Perpetual Lamp shook violently.
Chapter 164: 'Foreign Horse'
Chapter 164: Foreign Horse
Facing Bai Ye's visit, the Goat-Headed Monk did not raise its head, and an ancient voice drifted out of thin air.
"In three hundred years, you are the seventh person to come for the talisman."
"What about the previous six?" Bai Ye asked casually.
"Two became my disciples, and three became ice sculptures outside the hall."
The Goat-Headed Monk finally opened its eyes. Its pupils were two vertical, faint blue slits.
"The last one..."
It lifted the hem of its monk's robe, revealing a Scripture made of some kind of hide, on which a face contorted in pain was embedded!
"They couldn't obtain it, and they all tried to kill me."
Seeing this, Bai Ye became interested and continued to ask, "Just state your condition."
"A Buddhist Dharma Debate."
The Goat-Headed Monk tapped the Tin Staff, and a complex magic array appeared on the ground.
"If you win, the talisman is yours. If you lose, you leave. Of course, if you try to attack me..."
Saying this, the Goat-Headed Monk licked its lips, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs.
Facing the Goat-Headed Monk's threat, Bai Ye was dismissive.
However, for the sake of entertainment, Bai Ye agreed to the creature's challenge.
Bai Ye's gaze pierced through layers of mountains, locking onto the Sutra Repository of another temple a hundred miles away.
Super Vision, coupled with Divine Talent, quickly scanned all the classics, completing the entire learning process in less than a second.
"We can begin."
The Goat-Headed Monk twisted the Buddhist Prayer Beads and immediately began the Buddhist Dharma Debate: "What is Bodhi?"
"..."
The debate lasted for three whole hours, and Bai Ye easily answered all the difficult Buddhist questions.
"Buddha says all sentient beings suffer, yet he himself cultivates a Golden Body."
"Then if I say 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart,' that's fine too, right?" Bai Ye said with a smile.
The Goat-Headed Monk's Buddhist Prayer Beads suddenly snapped, and the wooden beads scattered across the floor.
"You..." Facing Bai Ye's answer, its voice began to tremble.
"Hoo~ Amitabha~." The Goat-Headed Monk immediately calmed its emotions.
Bai Ye held out his hand and stated directly, "Now, the talisman."
The Goat-Headed Monk remained silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a Nighthawk-like laugh. It took the talisman off the statue and tossed it to Bai Ye.
Chapter 116
Before leaving, Bai Ye suddenly turned back and asked, "What if the person who comes doesn't understand Buddhist teachings?"
"Doesn't understand Buddhist teachings?" The sheep-headed man was stunned.
"Then this humble monk also knows a bit of fisticuffs," it said with a relieved smile.
Then, its entire body suddenly transformed into black smoke and dispersed, leaving only its monk's robe floating to the ground.
Bai Ye shook his head, speechless at the seemingly meme-like remark.
Then, Bai Ye took the goat talisman and activated the fusion array.
The goat talisman transformed into a faint blue stream of light and merged into his glabella. In an instant, he felt his consciousness expand infinitely.
Divine Talent quickly analyzed the power the goat talisman brought him.
Soon the analysis was complete. First, Bai Ye gained the ability of Soul Domination.
Its effects include: Soul Gaze, reading the soul memories and emotions of any creature.
Spirit Body Replication, perfectly replicating another's spirit body.
Contract Enforcement, issuing absolute commands to souls weaker than himself, or devouring and destroying them.
Dimensional Shuttle, freely traveling between spiritual realms such as Hell and Heaven.
Non-Life Possession, for example, injecting his soul into electronic devices or AI systems.
The effects were decent, but Bai Ye could achieve these effects using magic anyway, so it was better than nothing.
"It's time to go to the next location."
Siberia, the Far North Permafrost.
Bai Ye walked across the perpetually frozen ice plain, with glaciers thousands of meters deep beneath his feet.
His Super Vision penetrated the thick ice layer, revealing an ancient temple frozen within an ice core.
In the center of the temple, a statue of a winged Pegasus stood proudly, with the horse talismanembedded in its forehead, emitting a strange light.
"This thing is probably something that only appeared after the World was strengthened."
Bai Ye raised his hand and lightly touched the ice surface. The explosive Fire of the dragon talismancirculated at his fingertips.
The permafrost instantly vaporized, creating a straight passage directly to the temple.
The moment Bai Ye stepped into the temple... "Hiss-s-s-s!!"
A deafening neigh echoed all around, and the ice shell on the surface of the Pegasus statue shattered.
A giant horse, pure White with ice crystal wings on its back, reared up.
Its eyes were two sapphires, and each breath it exhaled spewed an extremely cold current!
"Intruder..." The giant horse spoke human words, stomping its front hooves heavily.
"Turn into an ice sculpture!"
Crack!
A terrifying cold surge erupted, instantly freezing the entire temple!
The moisture in the air condensed into countless ice blades, stabbing towards Bai Ye from all directions.
Bai Ye sighed, too lazy to even raise a hand.
"Bang!"
All the ice blades exploded in mid-air three meters away from him. The giant horse was astonished to find that...
The cold current it spewed out actually rolled back, freezing its own hooves instead!
"I'm a bit tired of this; the routines are all similar. It's time to end this."
Bai Ye's eyes flashed with golden light, and his Heat Vision precisely struck the forehead where the horse talisman was located.
Of course, he wasn't destroying it, but using extreme high temperature and precise accuracy to make the talisman detach itself!
"No!!"
The giant horse wailed and fell to the ground, its body transforming back into an ice sculpture.
The horse talisman floated into Bai Ye's palm, feeling warm to the touch.
Bai Ye gently waved his hand, and the magic array unfolded again, the power of the talisman beginning to merge.
A strange energy flowed through his entire body. Bai Ye felt an ability completely opposite to destruction awakening in his bloodline.
Divine Talent also quickly analyzed the effects of the horse talisman.
This ability can instantly repair any physical damage. (Node Zhao)
It can also dispel curses, soul pollution, and magic damage.
It can restore others to their optimal physiological state, and repair non-living entities such as buildings and machinery.
This was not much different from the original ability of the horse talisman.
Then, he pressed his hand onto the Siberian ice layer.
Buzz!
Centered on him, the nearby permafrost suddenly burst with vitality!
Seeds buried under the ice sprouted, and the frozen mammoth carcasses began to regain their blood color, though they did not revive.
Even the hole in the ozone layer began to heal in the light!
"Although the consumption for large-scale repairs is negligible for me, and not as fast as my self-recovery, it's better than nothing."
"But if converted to actual consumption, it would be enough for a giant city to operate at full power, non-stop, for several days."
"Well, it's understandable, after all, creation is sometimes indeed more difficult than destruction."

Chapter 165: Taking the Stairs, Shadow Authority
Meanwhile
England, Devon, an abandoned ancient castle
Moonlight streamed through the broken glass, casting shadows on the damp stone walls.
Jackie Chan pressed against the cold stone wall, moving cautiously, his ears perked up, catching the footsteps of the Black Hand members.
"Strange, I clearly saw them turn into this corridor," he muttered under his breath, his brows furrowed.
The Black Hand's recent activities had been unusually frequent, seemingly searching for some ancient magic artifact.
Uncle's magic detector showed that there was something hidden in this ancient castle, perhaps a new part of Shendu's resurrection plan.
Jackie Chan was about to continue tracking when suddenly...
"Uncle Jackie!"
A clear child's voice rang out in the silent ancient castle, startling him almost to a jump.
"Hi, Jade."
Jackie Chan instinctively responded, then his eyes widened abruptly, saying in disbelief:
"Jade?!"
He spun around, only to see Jade standing at the corner of the corridor.
She was wearing an adventure suit she'd dug up from who knows where, with a cowboy hat perched askew on her head, smiling and waving at him.
"How are you here?!"
Jackie Chan lowered his voice and walked over quickly.
"Didn't I tell you to stay home and do your homework?!"
Jade blinked, responding innocently, "I did it! I came after I finished, you know."
"Finished... Wait, how did you get here? This is England!"
"I took the stairs," Jade shrugged.
Jackie Chan slapped his forehead, unable to resist complaining, "Where in this ancient castle are there stairs that lead to America?!"
"Oh, details aren't important," Jade waved her hand, leaning in and lowering her voice.
"Uncle Jackie, I just saw the Black Hand guys go to the Underground Room. It looks like they found something!"
Jackie Chan was startled and asked anxiously, "You saw them? Were you discovered?"
"Of course not, Uncle!" Jade proudly lifted her chin.
"I watched a lot of movies; my stealth skills are maxed out."
Jackie Chan opened his mouth, but in the end could only sigh helplessly:
"Stay close to me, don't run around. It's really dangerous here."
"Don't worry, Uncle Jackie! I promise to stick by your side." Jade made a face... Three minutes later.
"Jade, next time you can't run out alone, okay?" Jackie Chan mumbled as he walked forward.
"Jade?! Where is she?!"
Jackie Chan suddenly realized something was wrong and was dismayed to find that there was no one behind him.
At this moment, in a secret room in the ancient castle's basement, Jade was crouching behind a gargoyle statue, secretly observing the Black Hand members not far away.
Afan, Rasu, and Zhou Zheng were gathered around an ancient altar, on which lay a bronze disk engraved with runes.
"Boss said this thing can locate other talismans," Afan scratched his head, unsure.
"But how do you use this thing?"
"Try pressing here?" Rasu reached out and poked the center of the disk.
"Don't touch it randomly! What if it triggers a trap?" Zhou quickly stopped him.
Jade's eyes lit up. She quietly pulled out her phone, ready to take pictures as evidence.
Just then... "Bang!"
The door to the secret room was suddenly kicked open. Jackie Chan slid in and shouted at the Black Hand trio:
"Black Hand! Put down that magic item!"
"Oh no, it's Jackie Chan! Run!"
Afan grabbed the disk, and the three fled in a panic towards another passage.
"Stop!"
Jackie Chan was about to give chase when he suddenly heard rustling sounds from above.
He instinctively looked up and saw Jade climbing on a stone pillar, waving at him: "Uncle Jackie! I'll help you block them!"
"Jade?!"
"How are you here?! Where did you go just now? Get down!" Jackie Chan was bewildered and shouted urgently.
"I took the stairs!" Jade said casually as she climbed down from the stone pillar.
Jackie Chan: ...Five minutes later, the Black Hand members, beaten black and blue by Jackie Chan, were tied up like zongzi.
"So what exactly is this thing?" Jade curiously fiddled with the bronze disk.
Seeing this, Jackie Chan quickly snatched it away and told Jade, "Don't touch it randomly, it might be a dangerous ancient artifact!"
Suddenly, the runes on the disk glowed red, projecting a three-dimensional map.
