According to the notes written by Zhao Yinman, among the skills extracted from Pathogen Domains, the rarest were those of the avatar type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next were special abilities like cultivation methods, divination, and curses, while attack and defense types ranked last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because having an avatar was equivalent to having an extra \"self,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and since it was an extension of the same consciousness, it could coordinate perfectly, doubling one's combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, it did not fear death and could be used as a substitute in critical moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And my avatar can even recover. If the cost isn't high, I can definitely try a 'self-detonation' tactic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan had already thought of various ways to use it in his mind; the most critical part was that it could hide in shadows, making it impossible to guard against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a pity that old man Chu has shut himself off; otherwise, I could ask where it came from. I'll have to pay more attention to Pathogen Domains or historical artifacts related to Xiangliu in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan pondered in his heart. A mere faint bloodline was already this terrifying; it was hard to imagine the effects of a weak bloodline, or even after an atavistic awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps... it could really give birth to an Epic-tier, or even Legendary-tier, offspring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was deep in thought, another fruit detached, transforming into a rust-red orb of light that looked like a strange mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Great Assistance]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill-type Offspring]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Quality: Common]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: Red Iron Fighting Tripod, a spirit of the tripod. Born with a combative nature, once it locks onto an opponent, it will fight to the death, until both sides are destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or, upon defeating a powerful enemy, it can absorb ores from copper veins to evolve into a Brass Fighting Tripod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When manifested as a skill, it burns life force and Qi\u002Fblood to boil one's fighting spirit, significantly increasing combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prolonged use will shorten one's lifespan and cause a loss of sanity; the Master of the Demon God Embryo is exempt from this side effect.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fighting... is awesome!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan did not rush to return to the real world to perform the fusion; instead, he summoned the [Shadow-Shifting] offspring and the [Mouth of the Pure Altar].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its skill form, [Shadow-Shifting] appeared as a thin, small white monkey with a muddled consciousness, lacking complete thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan had realized a problem long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the number of skills increased, not only would the pull of the River of History accelerate, but his energy would also be unable to keep up; after all, unless they were raised to the Mastery tier, skills would not cultivate automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large accumulation of skills would not make him omnipotent; instead, it would easily make him bloated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, subtraction was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fusing skills with similar or related abilities together would discard the dross and keep only the essence, potentially even giving birth to special effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they could not be combined randomly, as it would easily cause conflicts between different offspring; otherwise, even if forced together through the Demon God Embryo, it would affect the quality of the finished product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Shadow-Shifting] possessed both shadow and physical body control effects, making it the perfect lubricant between the [Two-Headed Shadow Poison Hook Snake] and [Great Assistance].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Mouth of the Pure Altar, it was a sudden whim of Jiang Yan’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this item was not high-level, and it required separate use each time, consuming large amounts of flesh and blood in exchange for life force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he encountered an emergency, he would be caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better to fuse it into the avatar, allowing it to heal him by devouring enemies and gaining terrifying endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could even grow alongside the avatar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing many birds with one stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Jiang Yan whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My offspring, fuse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Two-Headed Shadow Poison Hook Snake understood its master's intent;

instead, it carried a sense of mystery and an inexplicable...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an ancient snake totem sculpted on a bronze vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And its information had also changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Avatar—Two-Headed Shadow-Eating Great Snake (Proficiency 1%)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Quality: Perfect]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: A Perfect-tier offspring born after the Master of the Demon God Embryo fused four offspring and re-gestated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow-Eating Great Snake controls shadows, grows white down beneath its scales, can freely traverse shadows, adds lethal poison to its attacks, and possesses a desire to devour the shadows and Qi\u002Fblood of living beings, along with an endless desire for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bearer can control their own flesh and blood, possesses extremely strong perception and adaptability to the outside world, can adapt to different environments, and can heal injuries after being wounded by eating, molting, or long slumber, feeding the life force back to the user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By shattering one avatar snake head, or sacrificing one's own Qi\u002Fblood and life force, one can obtain a significant increase in combat power, which can be stacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a single head is shattered, it can be repaired by eating the shadows of living beings; if both are shattered simultaneously, one must find the flesh and shadows of snake-type pathological creatures at the Dao Foundation realm or above to repair them.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It is your loyal claw and tooth.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All skills were fused, and it even inherited a trace of Xiangliu's immortal characteristic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could substitute its own damage by sacrificing its heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan could sacrifice himself three times in a critical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though, if it really comes to that, it would be a desperate situation among desperate situations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaotic air currents before Jiang Yan dissipated, and he returned to the real world once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black light flowed silently into Jiang Yan's shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coffin spirit on the side was still guarding the surroundings, eyes bright, head held high and chest out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a loyal member of the imperial guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another day of successfully executing the master's mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan pushed the door open and walked out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was late at night, and the number of people at the Dharma assembly had reached its peak; many people outside were waiting to rotate into the private rooms to organize the gains from this trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were some low-life scoundrels from heterodox paths, looking for targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One thin, gaunt man with a thief's eyes narrowed his gaze as he watched Jiang Yan emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly remembered that when this person went in, he had brought two large demon materials, but they were gone when he came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he used evil arts to refine the Qi\u002Fblood, it couldn't be that fast, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A precious storage item?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed sprouted in the man's heart;
