Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

When the Hellfire Lotus Imprints were applied to a target's body, they would turn into crimson lotus tattoos.

The first layer of lotus tattoos was extremely light, but as the number of layers increased, it looked as though they were engraved on Eighth Page Eye Shadow's body.

The lotus tattoos might look mysterious and mystical and carry a magnificent power, but Fifth Page Falling Rainbow and Eye Shadow became increasingly uncomfortable as the layers of lotus tattoos applied to their bodies increased.

The two of them noticed that not only had the flow of death aura in their bodies stagnated, but they could no longer activate their abilities. As a result, they weakened continuously while fending off Lin Yuan's attacks.

If Lin Yuan was fighting Falling Rainbow and Eye Shadow normally, they would not be in such a sorry state, even if they were truly less powerful than him.

The two of them were at such a disadvantage because Lin Yuan's ambush had been sudden.

The two of them had been unable to adopt defensive states because they had been unaware of Lin Yuan's presence. If Lin Yuan had shown himself to the two of them and given them a chance to prepare, they would have been able to flee even if they failed to overpower him!

If the two of them took off in different directions, at least one of them would be able to escape.

If the two sides of experts had agreed to battle, secret ambushes would be extremely despicable.

However, Lin Yuan's goal was not to battle but to protect the main world.

Falling Rainbow let out a shrill shriek. "Just who are you? Didn't Epoch God Palace say that you aren't interested in this Class 2 world?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

This petite girl with seven-colored eyes had mentioned Epoch God Palace, a topic that Lin Yuan was the most interested in finding out more about.

It just so happened that this was the member of Tower Canon whom Lin Yuan had decided to preserve.

Lin Yuan did not respond to Falling Rainbow's shriek. It was evident that this Tower Canon member assumed he was a member of Epoch God Palace.

This meant that Epoch God Palace was the only entity capable of possessing such power.

This revelation caused Lin Yuan to be slightly fearful of Epoch God Palace.

If Epoch God Palace's sights were not set on this Class 2 world, what were they truly interested in?

Spring and Summer were watching this from high up in the sky and blinked.

It had been some time since they left Epoch God Palace.

It was likely that Tower Canon's members were saying this because they had already paid a visit to Epoch God Palace.

Winter was trying to open a special path from this world to the Sky Beyond the Clouds. Hence, Tower Canon's members must have met with Autumn.

This way of speaking fit with Autumn's style.

In Autumn's opinion, Epoch God Palace existed to follow Lord Saint. This meant they were not linked to this Class 2 world at all.

But from the perspective of karma, Lord Saint was rooted in this Class 2 world. Lord Saint's objective was their will!

Before Autumn met with Lord Saint, he would have no clue what Epoch God Palace's goal was.

Spring and Summer confirmed that Lin Yuan was Lord Saint and knew that he was enemies with Tower Canon. They had not acted because they were worried about affecting Lin Yuan's growth.

As things stood, Lin Yuan was showing no signs of being imminently defeated.

Although this Floating World Controlling Honorable Lotus had been stained by fire elements and mutated, karma had brought it to Lord Saint's side before he had awakened.

The Floating World Controlling Honorable Lotus was an auspicious entity that was kept by Lord Saint's side constantly. The sacred aura within it was able to purge impurities from souls despite having transformed into fire elements.

The lifeforms from Tower Canon used death aura as their main source of energy so their souls could not be more contaminated.

As the scales of the battle continued tipping toward Lin Yuan, Spring and Summer let out soft sighs.

It seemed that it was still not the right time for them to appear in front of Lord Saint!

Falling Rainbow did not receive any reply to her question. The only response she received was a never-ending barrage of attacks.

In a defensive stance, Falling Rainbow flashed herself behind Eye Shadow before pointing at her forehead.

Soon, a solid stream of energy emerged from Falling Rainbow's body. The energy pierced the clouds and caused the sky to darken.

A menacing and bizarre figure emerged from Falling Rainbow's body. The figure transformed into a silhouette that resembled a dark gray rainbow.

The strange silhouette crashed into the Abyss Red Lotus' roots but did not make even the slightest impact on the Abyss Red Lotus' roots. Rather, the attacks activated a strange type of energy within the Abyss Red Lotus.

Lin Yuan found the appearance of this type of energy to be very strange.

Could it be that the Abyss Red Lotus was showing signs of evolving while battling the Eight Pages of Tower Canon?

Lin Yuan quickly shook his head.

Instead of an evolution, a more accurate description would be the awakening of its bloodline.

There seemed to be more to the Abyss Red Lotus' bloodline than what met the eye!

At that moment, Morbius' voice appeared in Lin Yuan's ear.

"Partner, I seem to have remembered something! I think I can guess why Tower Canon is carrying out the Sleeper's Revival plan. I also know the secret behind the world classes!

"Partner, it's likely that Tower Canon is a marauder from the dimensional world of a Class 3 world. When worlds are being promoted, the main worlds usually win out, and they absorb the dimensional worlds.

"However, there are always a few resistant fellows from dimensional worlds who not only want to break free from their main world but also rob the main world of its place. They refused to give up even after their failure and have brought their dimensional world's roots with them to try to make a comeback."

When Lin Yuan heard Morbius' voice in his head, he began conversing with Morbius, "Partner, if that's true, what will happen to the Class 3 world?"

Morbius replied in a conclusive tone, "The Class 3 world will forever lose the opportunity to be promoted to a Class 4 world. Tower Canon is trying to use the dimensional world filled with death aura to consume the main world's roots. This must be the true goal of the Sleeper's Revival plan!"

Lin Yuan thought, I caught Eighth Page Apoptosis and interrogated him, but I wasn't able to find out the crux of the issue. It wasn't because he lied to be but because he was kept from the truth, too. Otherwise, he would not have escaped the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's detection.

As for whether Morbius' conjecture is fact, I will be able to find this out once I capture the true Eight Pages of Tower Canon!

"Partner, for the good of the main world, this calamity must come to an end as soon as possible! Otherwise, not only will the ley lines be damaged beyond repair, but the tampering with this world's energy might also cause the appearance of inappropriate dimensional worlds!"

Lin Yuan did not stop his attacks while he was conversing with Morbius. Rather, the attacks became even more ferocious.

Lin Yuan focused more of his attacks on Eye Shadow.

He used the Abyss Red Lotus' exclusive skill, Red Lotus Hellfire. The Red Lotus Hellfire burned to life on Eye Shadow's body.

It was not Eye Shadow's flesh that was being burned, but her karma, bloodline, and energy. This burning was one that led to the utter obliteration of a lifeform's existence.

As the burning continued, more layers of Hellfire Lotus Imprints were applied to Eye Shadow's body. The Hellfire Lotus Imprints sealed her body, rendering her no different from an pill furnace!

At that moment, Eye Shadow was still wielding her own energy but was finding it an immense struggle to use the death energy to break through the increasing layers of Hellfire Lotus Imprints. This was because the Hellfire Lotus Imprints could seal the target's abilities, making it difficult for Eye Shadow to even employ her life-preserving methods.

Lin Yuan only used Red Lotus Hellfire to burn Eye Shadow. He did not use lethal methods against Falling Rainbow.

Falling Rainbow had been battling the black lotus roots as layers of Hellfire Lotus Imprints were intermittently applied to her body.

But at the same time, she watched as the Red Lotus Hellfire burned Eye Shadow.

Falling Rainbow could sense that Eye Shadow's roots were being rapidly damaged.

Eye Shadow was in a worse state than at the beginning of their slumber.

Falling Rainbow could sense that the person attacking them was going easy on her. Otherwise, her body would not have fewer lotus imprints than Eye Shadow.

Why was she not being burned by the crimson flames?

The gears in Falling Rainbow's mind turned, and she hypothesized the reason for the enemy's actions. They likely wanted to use her to gain information on Tower Canon.

Since Falling Rainbow's life hung in the balance, she had no qualms about betraying Tower Canon.

But if she did end up selling out Tower Canon, would that be enough to guarantee her survival?

At that moment, Falling Rainbow knew that whoever was attacking her and Eye Shadow could not be from Epoch God Palace because the latter already knew everything about Tower Canon.

It seemed that they had underestimated the natives from this Class 2 world!

As she looked at Eye Shadow, who was slowly dying, Falling Rainbow did not feel a shred of sympathy. Instead, she felt strong resentment for Eye Shadow bubbling within her.

If Eye Shadow had not endorsed her for this investigative trip, she would not have been here suffering such fierce attacks and on the brink of becoming a prisoner!

Lin Yuan was reaching near the bottom of the barrel of his store of energy.

Suddenly, a dragon roar reverberated throughout the canyon.

Lin Yuan summoned Blackie and used Spirit Injection to recover his energy.

Since everything was going well, Lin Yuan decided not to use the Spirit Qi Imprint. He also did not instruct the Abyss Red Lotus to use Burning Lotus Cleansing Dance and Everything to Ashes.

Once he used his secret weapons, they would need to enter a long recovery period.

Lin Yuan intended to use his limited resources in the most optimal manner, which meant using them on the other six members of Tower Canon.

Lin Yuan recovered his energy while maintaining his stalemate with Eye Shadow and Falling Rainbow.

Hard work never betrayed the determined.

Soon, Eye Shadow's soul was burned to ruin.

On the other hand, after being burned by the Red Lotus Hellfire, Eye Shadow's body had been tempered and was much tougher than it had originally been.

A light emerged from Eye Shadow's body and took the form of a book.

There was a spectral illusion behind the book.

Lin Yuan immediately recognized this as a Secret of the Dead from the dead world.

The treasure from the dimensional world of a Class 3 was definitely of a higher level than the treasure of a dimensional world of a Class 1 world.

Lin Yuan had accidentally absorbed the treasure from the dead world because he had bumped into it. As a result, he had been in a coma for almost a month.

Although the coma would not cause significant harm to his body, he would be using the fountain of faith in his divine kingdom to take control of and subsume the Secret of the Dead.

But with all that was going on, how could Lin Yuan take the time to go into a sleep state in order to absorb the dead world's Secret of the Dead?

Lin Yuan used the Abyss Red Lotus' roots to grab the book before carefully sealing it up. Once he defeated Tower Canon, he would collect all of their Secrets of the Dead!

Now, he needed to deal with this member of Tower Canon with seven-colored eyes.

Lin Yuan knew that it was time for him to show himself.

The sand rapidly roiled in the canyon.

Lin Yuan's body rose into the air, and he faced Falling Rainbow directly. He asked Falling Rainbow calmly, "I think it's time for us to have a good talk! Which Page of Tower Canon are you? How should I address you?"

Lin Yuan's serene tone caused a chill to run up Falling Rainbow's spine.

This young human had to be brimming with hatred toward her.

Tower Canon saw the lifeforms of this Class 2 world as the fertilizer to spur the growth of the dead spirits. To this Class 2 world, Tower Canon were invaders who had been plotting against them for a long time.

When Falling Rainbow felt the lotus imprints sealing her, she knew that if this young man didn't like her answer, he would set the crimson flames that burned Eye Shadow on her, too!

"My name is Falling Rainbow. I am the Fifth Page."

Falling Rainbow did not say anything else after answering Lin Yuan's questions. She began examining him seriously.

From Falling Rainbow's actions, Lin Yuan could tell that she was intelligent. Making an enemy of an intelligent being would lead to painful costs.

However, Lin Yuan did like smart prisoners.

Smart prisoners were more aware of how to act appropriately given their circumstances. He would also be able to find more answers to the questions that he had.

"You should be aware of why I let you live instead of destroying your soul. I will give you the chance to say three lines. I hope the three lines will be enough for you to move me."

While he spoke, fiery Red Lotus Hellfire appeared in his palm.

At first, Lin Yuan had many questions for Falling Rainbow.

But after Morbius regained the most recent portion of its memories, Lin Yuan now had a clear understanding of Tower Canon's objective.

If Falling Rainbow was sufficiently intelligent, she would be able to pique his interest with the three lines. It would also allow Lin Yuan to find out the direction that would be the best for him to take in order to glean the most information from Falling Rainbow.

Tower Canon could even sense the loss of death aura from the ley lines and had sent experts to investigate it.

They had to be aware that the death aura leak had yet to be addressed and was worsening.

They might even be aware that one of the Eight Pages had already died.

Lin Yuan needed to hasten his interrogation of Falling Rainbow!
