Chapter 77: The Fourth Seal — Void
"Hmph, don't think I'm afraid of you. No matter how strong you are, you're still only at the peak of the fifth level. Can you really compete with me, a peak seventh-level being?"
"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish."
As the golden-feathered bird demon leader finished speaking, he instantly turned into a streak of golden lightning and charged at Leng Xiao.
Leng Xiao was slightly surprised by the speed of the bird demon leader.
She didn't dare underestimate him any longer. Relying on her combat instincts, she immediately summoned her weapon—a blood-red sword suddenly appeared in her hand.
Sword and spear collided. Under the enormous gap in spiritual power, Leng Xiao was instantly sent flying.
She crashed hard into a cargo carriage.
The bird demon leader, who had been on guard, instantly relaxed and sneered, "I thought you were strong. Turns out it was all just bluff."
However, thanks to the force being dispersed by the carriage and her Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan physique, Leng Xiao wasn't injured.
She understood now—she had underestimated a seventh-level peak opponent.
The difference in spiritual power, speed, and strength was simply too wide.
If her opponent had been just early-stage seventh level, she might've had a chance, but a peak opponent was too much.
With a cold snort, blood-red lightning surged around her body, and black scales began to cover her.
As the princess of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan, her pride would never allow such a defeat.
She had a trump card—but she didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.
Just as Leng Xiao prepared to unleash her dragon transformation—
A familiar voice came from behind her.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, leave it to me."
As the voice fell, Lin Ze appeared behind her and lightly placed a hand on her shoulder.
Leng Xiao was stunned. She hadn't even sensed his presence before he arrived.
But she still chose to trust him. Her body's transformation slowly faded as she said with concern,
"Lin Ze, be careful. That guy is at the seventh-level peak."
Lin Ze glanced at the bird demon leader hovering in the air, then turned to Leng Xiao with a calm smile.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, I want to borrow something from you."
His sudden appearance drew everyone's attention.
Yue Ye stepped out of the carriage. She recognized those thousands of demons instantly—she'd encountered them before.
The caravan wasn't so weak that they couldn't handle a seventh-level peak. The only reason she hadn't acted was to let Leng Xiao enjoy the fight and learn her limits.
But what surprised Yue Ye was that Lin Ze had awoken from cultivation, and now had broken through to the sixth-level peak, with spiritual power exceeding 9,000 points.
His cultivation speed was terrifying.
This rapid growth was all thanks to the crystal of pure fear and lust he had absorbed, greatly boosting his spiritual power.
At the same time, Lin Ze had unlocked the fourth blood seal, gaining a powerful new ability.
Leng Xiao blinked when she heard Lin Ze's request to "borrow something."
The two of them were close enough that calling it "borrowing" felt unnecessary. She subconsciously replied:
"Whatever you want—just take it."
Lin Ze smiled softly. "Sister Xiaoxiao, hold still. It'll be over soon."
"Huh?" Leng Xiao was confused.
Just as she was wondering what he meant—
A blood-red formation appeared beneath both their feet.
Then Lin Ze raised his hand—and reached toward Leng Xiao's chest.
Leng Xiao froze, cheeks flushed.
Did… did Lin Ze want to do that in public?
She hesitated. Should she dodge?
But the moment his hand neared her chest, a strange sensation overtook her—as if something was being pulled out from deep inside her.
Their bodies became like two magnets. She couldn't move.
Under the eerie light of the scarlet formation, Leng Xiao was shocked to see her chest emit a red glow, forming a circular void—deep and endless, like it could reach into her very soul.
Before the stunned eyes of everyone, Lin Ze's hand passed into that void.
The moment his hand touched the hollow, Leng Xiao felt completely exposed, as though Lin Ze could see through her very soul. Her breath quickened.
"Lin Ze… What… are you doing…"
Her limbs weakened. She instinctively grabbed his arm, trying to stop him.
Lin Ze responded by gently pulling her into his embrace.
Looking at the trembling girl in his arms, he whispered,
"Sister Xiaoxiao, don't resist. It'll be over soon."
Hearing his words, Leng Xiao bit her lips, then slowly closed her eyes.
She believed Lin Ze would never harm her.
As her resistance faded, Lin Ze slowly withdrew his arm.
Black and purple crystals surged from the void in her chest, wrapping around Lin Ze's fists.
With a sound like crystal locking into place, a pair of dark dragon-scale gauntlets, shaped like dragon heads, formed on Lin Ze's hands.
As they fully materialized, information flowed into Lin Ze's mind:
---
Void Weapon: Sky-Splitting
Type: Fist Armor
Owner: Leng Xiao
Ability 1 – Fighting Will: As the user's fighting will increases, their spiritual power increases accordingly.
Ability 2 – Space Tearing: Grants the user short-range space-jumping capability.
---
This was the ability Lin Ze gained from the Fourth Seal: Void.
> Void: Converts a creature's "lust" energy into a weapon.
The stronger the subject's lust, the stronger the weapon created.
The weapon evolves based on the subject's emotional depth.
After skimming the gauntlet's description, Lin Ze turned to look at Leng Xiao—now pale, slightly weak, still cradled in his arms.
With a flash, he reappeared beside Yue Ye and gently handed Leng Xiao over.
"Sister Yue, take care of Xiao Xiao."
Yue Ye received Leng Xiao, visibly concerned. Her gaze fell on the gauntlets on Lin Ze's hands, and even she was shocked.
She could sense the terrifying aura from the dark dragon-scale gauntlets—no weaker than an epic-tier weapon.
