Blood, human skin!

"A-tu-ba-ye..."

Meaningless murmurs spilled from Unknown Soul Entity's mouth; he didn't even understand the meaning of the words himself.

But strangely, as soon as those words left his lips, the blood-red coffin before them suddenly began to tremble.

The chains wrapped around the Blood Coffin shattered instantly on the spot.

Without the restraint of the chains, the already decayed and cracked coffin exploded apart.

Immediately after, a mass of thick, dark-red blood slowly oozed out from the coffin.

The moment the blood spilled out, it began to wriggle on the ground, eventually transforming into a 'Blood Man'.

From its appearance alone, this Blood Man looked similar to a human, but eerily, it had no facial features.

...To be honest, the attributes of this [Fallen Blood] weren't powerful; they could even be described as weak.

Chen Ming gazed at the [Fallen Blood] with a calm expression, the arrow in his hand ready to fly.

However, the [Fallen Blood] didn't even spare Chen Ming a glance. After a roar, it charged straight toward Unknown Soul Entity.

"Help!"

Startled by this sudden development, Unknown Soul Entity let out a strange cry and scrambled to hide behind Chen Ming.

Chen Ming didn't bother saying anything; he simply pulled back the string of the [Paramita] bow.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!!

The sound of air being torn apart rang out as a dense rain of arrows immediately blanketed the [Fallen Blood].

For an ordinary Tier 3 player, [Fallen Blood] might be extremely difficult to deal with.

After all, its level and attributes were right there.

But for Chen Ming... it didn't offer the slightest challenge.

Especially after killing a large number of [Fallen Warrior] monsters earlier, the toxin damage from [Source of All Evil] had already stacked to 450,000 points.

Combined with the boost from the [Toxin Frenzy] buff, that made it 540,000 points of toxin damage.

Furthermore, after killing a large number of bosses, the stacks for [Source of All Evil] had reached a staggering 52 layers.

This meant that with [Source of All Evil] fully stacked, he could deal 28,080,000 damage per second to an enemy.

Is [Fallen Blood] strong? It's just a matter of a few seconds.

Puchi! Puchi!!

As countless arrows landed on the [Fallen Blood], a series of damage numbers instantly floated above its head.

-28,080,000 (Toxin Damage).

-30,000.

-30,000 (true damage).

-3,000 (true damage)... Following this string of damage numbers, the [Fallen Blood]'s massive 120 million HP bar was instantly reduced to just over 20 million.

"Let's end this!"

Chen Ming pulled the bowstring once more.

Another storm of arrows shot forth.

The already low-health [Fallen Blood] didn't even have time to react before it was instantly killed.

In an instant, a wisp of gray energy quickly seeped out of the [Fallen Blood]'s corpse and merged into the [fallen treasure chest] in Chen Ming's hand.

Seeing this, the corners of Chen Ming's mouth curled up slightly.

Killing the [Fallen Blood] didn't provide any experience points, but it significantly boosted the quality of the [fallen treasure chest] once again.

Following this trend, by the time he cleared the Land of Corruption, the quality of the [fallen treasure chest] would likely reach at least Mythical-Grade.

"After being enhanced by my Forbidden Talent, it'll be at least a God-grade chest."

"And after opening the chest and enhancing the items inside, the result will be at least Overlord-tier equipment."

Muttering to himself, Chen Ming was in high spirits. He immediately activated the effect of [Divine Authority of All Beasts 30%], intending to convert the [Fallen Blood] into a servant.

But just then, an unexpected change occurred.

As the gray energy was extracted, the [Fallen Blood], which was originally dark red, instantly turned bright red and transformed into a streak of light that merged into Unknown Soul Entity's body.

"Aaah!!"

Unknown Soul Entity let out a pained wail, but his originally illusory figure began to solidify at a visible rate, and blood started flowing through the translucent blood vessels in his body.

[Unknown Soul Entity: Unknown Soul Entity] (Dark Gold Grade Boss)

[Level: 95]

[HP: 150,000,000 / 150,000,000]

...Chen Ming narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Unknown Soul Entity as an invisible killing intent radiated from him.

Unknown Soul Entity, who had just finished his transformation, couldn't stop trembling. He quickly spoke up: "It wasn't my doing! I don't know why it turned out like this either!"

"Really, you have to believe me, it has nothing to do with me."

Unknown Soul Entity was panicking!

Although his attributes and strength had increased significantly after mysteriously absorbing the [Fallen Blood]...

...facing Chen Ming, he still couldn't help but feel a wave of terror.

Chen Ming stared at Unknown Soul Entity for a while. After finding no abnormalities, he asked, "How do you feel different from before?"

"Different?" Unknown Soul Entity murmured. "I feel like I've become much stronger."

"And my memories seem to have become much more complete."

"Unknown Soul Entity Baturu... that seems to be my real name."

As Unknown Soul Entity spoke, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.

A large amount of memory was surfacing in his mind.

However, these memories were very fragmented and couldn't even be pieced together.

Chen Ming gave Unknown Soul Entity a deep look but didn't pay it much mind. He pointed forward, signaling for Unknown Soul Entity to continue leading the way.

Within the disorienting gray mist, the two continued their journey.

But they hadn't gone far before another blood-red coffin appeared.

It was similarly cracked and decayed, and similarly wrapped in chains.

"This..."

Looking at the Blood Coffin before him, Unknown Soul Entity's eyes flashed with confusion, and then he cautiously looked at Chen Ming.

Seeing no change in Chen Ming's expression, Unknown Soul Entity finally breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

Boom! Boom!!

Right then, the Blood Coffin suddenly exploded on its own.

In the next moment, a piece of gray human skin slowly floated out from within.

[Fallen Skin] (Dark Gold Grade Boss)

[Level: 100]

[HP: 200,000,000 / 200,000,000]

...The attributes of this [Fallen Skin] weren't particularly strong.

But strangely, the facial features outlined on this [Fallen Skin] were exactly the same as Unknown Soul Entity's.

"Holy crap!!"

Seeing this, Unknown Soul Entity immediately blurted out a curse, and then looked at Chen Ming with a face full of woe: "Big brother, let me explain. If I say this really has nothing to do with me, would you believe me?"

...
