System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

The giant egg inside the black hole had great difficulty emerging; it took more than ten minutes for only a small portion of it to come out.

Seeing this, Zhang Qilin started moving again, constantly throwing the human skin figurines around him into the air.

Even without the suction, the human skin puppet would still disappear when it got close to the black hole.

In no time, Zhang Qilin had already thrown in over a hundred human skin puppets.

After absorbing the human skin puppet, the giant egg suddenly accelerated and was squeezed out of the black hole with a very smooth motion.

"boom!"

The giant egg fell into the coffin with a loud bang, followed by a series of "crackling" sounds.

The surface of the giant egg was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

Soon the eggshell shattered completely, and a clump of mud-like stuff sprang out of the giant egg.

"I thought it was some kind of rare monster or mythical beast. What's with this lump of dirt?"

"This is definitely not soil. Have you ever seen soil that has life in it?"

"So what exactly is it, and why did the Khmer king go to such lengths to summon it?"

Just as everyone was wondering, a system notification sounded in Zhang Hao's mind.

[Ding! Special item detected: Breath of Life.]

This clump of soil is actually the legendary Breath Soil!

The Breath of Earth is a divine substance used by Yu the Great in the Classic of Mountains and Seas to control floods. It is said to be a type of soil that can grow and expand automatically and never diminish.

I never imagined that something that was only a legend actually existed.

It's just unclear what the Khmer king's purpose was in setting up such an altar here and going to such lengths to summon the Breath of Earth.

Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Qilin, who had now returned to his usual cold demeanor.

If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Qilin must have just encountered the Zhang family's divine favor, and perhaps he knows the Khmer king's purpose in doing so.

"Brother, why did you sacrifice so many human skin puppets to summon the Breath of Earth?"

Zhang Qilin rubbed his head: "I don't know. A command suddenly appeared in my mind and instructed me to do this. I had no way to resist. But I have a feeling that it is very important. It seems to be called Breath of Earth."

The magical substance called "Xirang" must be important, but it's unknown what other uses it might have besides controlling floods, as legend has it.

Zhang Hao leaped into the coffin to retrieve the basketball-sized clump of life-giving soil.

Before he even got close, the Breath of Earth suddenly began to expand.

Even with Zhang Hao's speed, he was enveloped by the Breath of Earth before he could react.

It was expanding at lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Tianzhen, Zhang Qilin, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie were all enveloped by the Breath Soil.

Moreover, the Breath of Earth even enveloped the entire cave, including the thousands upon thousands of human skin figurines.

Once those human skin puppets were wrapped in the Breath Soil, their entire bodies were covered in a layer of frost, as if they had been frozen.

Zhang Qilin frowned more and more as he looked at the ever-expanding space within the Breath Soil and the white frost appearing on the human skin puppet.

"Oh no, we must get out of the Breath of Earth immediately, or we will be absorbed and merged by it."

"Fuck!"

Zhang Hao felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing this method.

His All Things Fusion System is a system that continuously merges items to obtain their properties in order to enhance his own strength.

This guy, Xirang, is like a cheat code himself.

Not only can it grow indefinitely, but it can also absorb and integrate whatever it envelops.

"Brother, it's too late! Our feet are frozen solid, we can't move at all!"

Upon hearing Zhang Qilin's reminder, the fat man tried to run away, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his legs.

Looking down, I realized that a layer of white frost had formed on my feet, freezing me and the soil together.

He glanced around and saw that everyone was in a similar situation; the frost had reached their ankles and was rapidly spreading upwards.

If this continues, it won't be long before everyone is frozen solid like those human skin puppets, and then absorbed and fused by the Breath Soil.

Zhang Hao lifted his foot forcefully, and two "crack" sounds were heard, just like the sound of ice breaking.

Then his feet detached from the earth, and the frost on his feet quickly disappeared.

Zhang Hao discovered that as long as he didn't touch the soil, he wouldn't freeze.

Of course, he was the only one among them who could float without touching the Breath of Earth.

Even so, there is still a way. As long as you keep jumping quickly, you can delay the time you are frozen.

Zhang Hao grabbed the fat man with one hand and Wu Tianzhen with the other, then simultaneously lifted them both up with great force.

"As long as everyone keeps jumping quickly, they can delay the time they are frozen."

Zhang Hao loudly reminded them, and then pulled Yi Sa and Ding Yudie together.

As for Zhang Qilin, he has already broken free from the shackles of frost on his own.

After detaching from the magical soil, the group kept jumping around, afraid of being frozen again.

During the movement, the fat man accidentally touched the human skin terracotta warrior whose entire body was covered in frost.

With a "whoosh," the frost on the human skin puppet quickly disappeared, and then it came to life as soon as it opened its eyes.

"Roar……"

The human-skin puppet roared and stretched out its hands to strike the fat man's neck.

The fat man had to deal with the Breath of Earth while dodging the attacks of the human skin puppets. He was so flustered that he accidentally touched more human skin puppets.

These human-skin figurines would come to life immediately if touched by a living person.

"Fatty, stay where you are and don't move!"

At this moment, the Breath of Earth has already covered tens of thousands of human skin puppets. If they were all brought to life, it would take a great deal of effort for them to escape.

Zhang Hao warned the fat man and rushed over, throwing a punch at the head of the human skin terracotta figure.

His punch felt like hitting an ice cube; a chill immediately ran through his fist.

Zhang Hao was surprised to find that the human skin puppet was much more difficult to deal with after it was covered in frost.

Previously, these human skin puppets would crumble at the slightest touch, but now they have the hardness of ice.

"Click..."

However, even though it was as hard as ice, it was not much different from before under Zhang Hao's fist.

With a single punch, the human skin puppet shattered, turning into countless ice shards that scattered across the ground.

"Boss, look! The human skin puppet has come back to life!"

Ding Yudie pointed at Zhang Hao's feet and exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Hao looked down and saw that the human skin puppet he had smashed was quickly coming back together and returning to its original shape.

"How could this be? How come these human skin puppets are impossible to kill!"

Wu Tianzhen had always been very confident in Zhang Hao's abilities, but now that Zhang Hao couldn't even kill the human skin puppet, he panicked.

Looking at the scene before him and combining it with what Zhang Qilin had said, Zhang Hao immediately deduced what had happened.

"The Breath Soil has absorbed and fused with these human skin puppets. Now the human skin puppets and the Breath Soil are one. Unless the Breath Soil can be destroyed, these things are simply impossible to kill."
