This red light appeared very illusory, yet it outlined the shape of the Vermilion Bird Seed.

Under the condition of mastering four Power Seeds, using the nature of the Five Elements Mutual Generation, Shan Liangyi directly simulated the last missing Vermilion Bird Seed!

The mana fluctuations around him grew increasingly larger, finally seeming to break through the last barrier into an immeasurable realm.

Extremes meet. Too bright and dazzling light can obscure everything like darkness; similarly, overpowering mana fluctuations can prevent the weak from correctly identifying its presence. Right now, I can no longer sense Shan Liangyi's mana fluctuations.

He stands before me like an ordinary person devoid of any power. But if he were truly an ordinary person, he couldn't possibly float high above in the air. The contradictory yet terrifying phenomenon before my eyes reminded me of a certain figure.

Old Fist God...

In the past, when facing Old Fist God, I also could not perceive his mana fluctuations.

More than that, if he wished, he could even be in the same room with me, and I would remain unaware of his existence. Even the Divine Light, who once conversed with me, could not realize such a person had been by its side.

Shan Liangyi seems to be capable of the same thing. Previously, as the unknown Impermanence most to be wary of on this battlefield, he forced me to overlook his presence during my thinking. And even Water Navy Xuanwu, despite knowing the correct information about the four Liangyi inheritors, couldn't rely on his reasoning alone to deduce the problem of King Zhuanlun being the fifth Liangyi inheritor.

Contrary to the power of perception, which all demon hunters and Impermanence possess, in pushing open the third door, it seems to exhibit an opposite nature, a power of "concealment."

At the same time, I am entirely convinced that Shan Liangyi at this moment is no longer the Impermanence with the mere nature of the third door yet lacking corresponding mana, but he has genuinely returned to the realm beyond the third door, regaining the power true to his name.

A blazing emotion seemed to surface in Shan Liangyi's eyes, his gaze apparently piercing through my body to reach the depths of my soul. No mistake, what he is watching now is not me but the Vermilion Bird Seed hidden deep within my soul.

Water Navy Xuanwu once said that as long as one becomes Impermanence, the Power Seed of a Liangyi inheritor won't be unconditionally absorbed back by Shan Liangyi; this should be limited to general circumstances. Facing Shan Liangyi, who has returned to the third door realm, that old understanding doesn't apply.

Now, as long as Shan Liangyi wills it, by merely thinking, without needing to kill me, the Vermilion Bird Seed will return to his control without hesitation. And I would instantly lose all power, everything from the ability to manipulate flames to the natural privileges of Impermanence, would vanish from me.

I would revert to an ordinary person, become once again the person who could only fantasize about "having supernatural power," with hopeless enthusiasm, studying bizarre books.

Shan Liangyi reached out his hand to me, seemingly about to take away the Vermilion Bird Seed, taking away the indispensable power from my adventures till now.

Of course, I couldn't just wait for my demise, but the struggle of the Vermilion Bird Seed left me unable to muster the energy to defend or counterattack, not even having the strength to flee. The elementalized body rather became an obstacle; my body and soul, comprising Flame Magic Power, now become impediments to executing my intentions.

Even if I wished to convert all the Flame Magic Power into Solar Eclipse Fire detached from the fire element's key theme, it wouldn't work. Not to mention, I can't transform the Flame Magic Power now—it's already a transition form shifting from the fire element towards the earth element within Shan Liangyi's Four Symbols and Five Elements framework. Besides, the Solar Eclipse Fire is also under the command power of the Vermilion Bird Seed; otherwise, I couldn't control the Solar Eclipse Fire myself.

What about the Power of Divine Seal Fragments? I desperately reached out to the two Divine Seal Fragments within my consciousness, and the fragments responded to this call, releasing a power that merged into my astral Crown Form body.

Within the flames, "impurities" appeared that disobeyed the Vermilion Bird Seed's command yet would obey my orders, slightly diminishing the Vermilion Bird Seed's interference with the flames. But only slightly; the Power of Divine Seal Fragments I could use was far too little, and compared to the excessively powerful Vermilion Bird Seed alongside my growth, the Power of Divine Seal Fragments was simply like a mantis trying to stop a cart.

And Shan Liangyi seemed to notice my struggle as well, his gaze shifted from the Vermilion Bird Seed to my eyes, or rather, through my eyes, he observed the depths of my consciousness, even locking onto the items bound to my consciousness.

He seemed to directly see the two Divine Seal Fragments within my consciousness.

Then, he did something even more incredible.

He extended his hand, his palm penetrating the boundary between matter and spirit, directly reaching into my consciousness, then grabbed those two Divine Seal Fragments!

This was supposed to be impossible. The Divine Seal Fragments bound to a Void Envoy are untouchable by anyone, and even among Void Envoys, they cannot touch each other's Divine Seal Fragments. Yet Shan Liangyi managed to grab them—more than that, in the moment he grabbed them, the two Divine Seal Fragments simultaneously ceased flagging, no longer releasing any Power of Divine Seal Fragments.

Afterward, he withdrew his hand from my consciousness, tearing out the two Divine Seal Fragments along with it. With this action, I felt the link between me and the Divine Seal Fragments was like an overstretched rubber band, forcibly severed,

which meant my connection with the Master of Divine Seal was also severed, no longer a Void Envoy.

Could he really do such a thing?

This was the first time I saw someone, neither a Void Envoy nor relying on the Power of Divine Seal Fragments, purely using his power to definitively change the operation of the Divine Seal Fragments.

"So these are the Divine Seal Fragments…" Shan Liangyi looked at the two black jade stones in his hand, "I see, it seems they resemble alien godhoods, spirits, and other things, able to operate True Spirit Power... how did these appear on Earth, could they be creations of alien civilizations with technological levels high enough to observe the Great True Spirit?"

He shook his head and looked back at me, his gaze once again falling upon the depths of my soul.

This time, his target was undoubtedly the Vermilion Bird Seed.

I had already lost my last means of resistance. Though racking my brains for ways to struggle, I found no way out.

At that moment, there was a strange movement in the dark yellow wheel behind him.
