Fortunately, the system could still provide some basic diagnostic data, allowing Hao Yun to gain a clearer understanding of what was happening inside his body at this moment. However, even if Hao Yun knew what was happening inside him, what could he do? Hao Yun was completely powerless to stop the remaining Mould Spirit energy fragments from leaving because he had been forced to use the same power Elina used to forcefully extract the sealed Mould Spirit energy from within him, convulsing as if he wanted to vomit out his internal organs.
Before long, all the Mould Spirit energy fragments sealed within Hao Yun's body were completely extracted by Elina. But things were far from over. After all the Mould Spirit energy fragments had left, the black energy overflowing from Hao Yun's chest immediately transformed into a thick, viscous liquid energy as shiny and black as oil.
"Hmph! Just as I expected! Those two really implanted a lot of energy into you. But unfortunately, you don't seem to have the chance to fully comprehend the mysteries of this energy, allowing these seeds to take root in you and completely activate your potential! Because now, they are all mine! Hmph, hahaha!" Seeing the thick, sticky liquid energy overflowing from Hao Yun's chest, Elina couldn't help but laugh wildly with excitement.
Next, Elina licked the liquid energy on her fingertips and said with some annoyance, "Hmph. Uryll and the Mother of Mould Spirits, those two, it seems they really poured a lot of effort into you! They actually entrusted you with such good negative energy! Hmph! It's enough to make one jealous!"
Honestly, if it weren't for the current situation, Hao Yun would definitely not know that Guardian Uryll and the Mother of Mould Spirits had actually implanted negative energy into him. Hao Yun didn't know when or how they implanted this negative energy into his body. Nor did he know why they did it. And he didn't know why these powerful negative energies, once they entered his body, never harmed him.
But now, Hao Yun had no time to delve into these questions. Because Hao Yun felt that as Elina sucked away these negative energies, his spiritual body and sacred body were becoming unstable and trembling. As the dark negative energy continued to be extracted by Elina, the outline of Hao Yun's body gradually became blurred. Hao Yun was terrified because he immediately thought that this blurry state was likely a sign that he was about to perish!
Of course, Hao Yun did not want to completely disintegrate from body to soul, so when he realized the danger he was in, he once again ignited a strong desire to survive. Hao Yun tried to concentrate all his strength on his chest and struggled to twist his body, wanting to forcibly seal the wound on his chest to prevent Elina from continuing to extract the negative energy from his body. But Hao Yun's efforts were futile because Elina had completely locked his body down. So much so that every muscle on Hao Yun's body became extremely stiff and no longer obeyed his commands.
At this moment, Elina looked extremely eerie. Another mouthpiece had grown on the back of her neck, specifically used to absorb the positive energy oozing from the wound in the Ring of Balance. At the same time, Elina excitedly opened her arms and continuously guided the negative energy overflowing from Hao Yun's chest into her mouth. As the powerful positive and negative energies poured into her body, Elina's appearance changed once again. Her armor, composed of black demonic energy, decomposed back into black energy and completely entered her body. At the same time, the white electric flowers and purple-red demonic energy swirling around Elina began to show signs of fusion.
The white electric flowers crackled and burned the purple-red demonic energy, emitting a pungent black smoke. Once these black mists were generated, they all entered Elina's body, causing her originally dark purple metallic body to quickly transform into a pitch-black color that seemed to swallow all light. The orange-red and dark green energies flowing on Elina's surface all transformed into deep violet, adding a few more intimidating and sinister qualities to her already terrifying appearance.
Of course, Elina's changes were not just superficial. As Elina's body gradually turned black, her aura also strengthened synchronously. At the same time, Elina accelerated the pace of unlocking Hao Yun's potential. Not long after, Hao Yun once again heard a new warning from the Mould Spirit Energy Pursuit System: "Attention! Attention! Elina's combat power has reached subversive level! The gap between enemy and us is too great! Please make evacuation preparations as soon as possible and request support!"
Upon hearing this message, Hao Yun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Elina's nearly subversive combat power was enough to make them so embarrassed. Where did they have the ability to confront Elina, whose strength had officially reached a subversive level? Thinking of this, Hao Yun suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion and powerlessness. Hao Yun couldn't help but question whether Guardian Uryll and the Mother of Mould Spirits had underestimated the potential of the three of them.
Hao Yun even began to suspect that the three of them were just pawns chosen by Guardian Uryll and the Mother of Mould Spirits by chance. And the real purpose of those two was not just to punish the Balance Ring, but to use the three of them to bring more powerful negative energy into the Spirit Realm, thereby helping Elina to cause fatal destruction to the Balance Ring and even the entire Spirit Realm.

Because Hao Yun had a lot of doubts about life and death, his mental defenses loosened again. Elina, who was connected with Hao Yun, naturally caught the change in Hao Yun's thoughts for the first time. So she immediately exerted force, pierced through the last line of defense in Hao Yun's heart, and entered the depths of Hao Yun's sacred body, further enhancing the speed of seizing Hao Yun's potential. Elina regarded Hao Yun's sudden action of opening his mind as a manifestation of giving up resistance, happily enjoying the growth brought by Hao Yun's potential, and nodded satisfactorily, "Very good, very good! Give me your power obediently, so you can die without so much pain! Hahaha!"
"Finished! It seems I'm finally beyond redemption!" This was Haoyun's reaction as his last line of defense was breached in his heart. Although Haoyun still felt unwilling, faced with such a huge disparity in power, he didn't think it shameful to lose his belief in resisting Elina. Therefore, even as Elina forcefully invaded his sacred body, Haoyun did not show much panic or despair. He had already accepted his failure and was mentally prepared to meet his death calmly.
As Elina's power penetrated his body, Haoyun felt a torturous pain akin to someone slowly flaying and cutting him with a small knife inside. His mental strength depleted rapidly in the face of this agony, causing his consciousness to quickly become fuzzy and gradually giving him a sense of impending release, akin to being on the brink of death. At this moment, Haoyun felt as though he had gone three days and nights without sleep, his mind becoming heavier and heavier, as if he could fall asleep at any moment with just a blink. Simultaneously, Haoyun also felt his body becoming lighter and more ethereal. It seemed his soul had long been prepared to leave his flesh and ascend to the heavens.
"Warning! Warning! Your life state has dropped to a critical level! Please seek support immediately!" The Mold Spirit Energy Pursuit System, detecting Haoyun's life rapidly dissipating, activated continuous alarm mode.
However, as Haoyun's internal power continued to be drained away, the system's cold electronic synthesized voice began to falter as if disturbed, gradually interspersing with more piercing noises than electrical interference. Moreover, as the frequency of these electrical disturbances increased, the synthesized voice of the system also seemed to weaken as if experiencing insufficient power, gradually becoming increasingly feeble.
Eventually, as the system's speech slowed to a crawl, it soon ceased issuing warnings altogether, switching instead to flashing red warning lights and scrolling warning texts incessantly in Haoyun's mind. Even so, the system did not last long before completely halting all activity amidst a series of "System malfunction, system temporarily suspended for rebuilding procedure—" prompts.
The forced shutdown of the Mold Spirit Energy Pursuit System further illustrated how perilous Haoyun's situation had become. Yet, Haoyun had no energy left to care about the system's forced closure. He struggled to lower his head and glanced at his own body, realizing that his lower half was already turning translucent. Haoyun knew that Elina's draining of his power was causing his body to gradually dissipate. Helpless, Haoyun could only wryly smile inwardly and muster the strength to glance once more at the negative energy oozing from his chest before slowly closing his eyes, preparing to meet his end.
Unexpectedly, just as Haoyun closed his eyes and prepared to sink into oblivion, his tightly shut eyes suddenly lit up again, revealing the scene of the Realm of Balance. Upon fully seeing the scene before him, Haoyun immediately turned his doubts into astonishment. Because at this moment, what appeared before Haoyun's eyes was not just the scenery within the Realm of Balance and the Balance Ring under attack by Elina, but also his own struggling figure imprisoned and gradually fading away!
"Could it be that my soul has already left my body in this dying state? Could it be that dying isn't enough for that bastard Elina, who wants me to witness the destruction of my flesh through my soul's eyes?" Haoyun thought bitterly in his heart.
Just as Haoyun was about to continue cursing Elina, a pain with a strong tearing and stripping sensation struck his heart again. It was only now that Haoyun finally realized something was amiss. Because he could clearly feel that these pains were not imaginary; they all originated from his sight, seemingly in a state of near-death but still unconsciously struggling with his own body.
In shock, Haoyun immediately realized that his current situation was not an out-of-body experience! His soul had not left his body! Right now, it was only his consciousness that had somehow separated from his body without leaving its shell, simultaneously appearing in another location within the Realm of Balance! That's why he could still feel the pain emanating from his nearby physical form. But why would his consciousness suddenly separate from his body?
Completely perplexed, Haoyun instinctively shifted his gaze, hoping to find answers in the surrounding scene. Thanks to the convenience of being able to view the Realm of Balance in a complete 360-degree angle without blind spots, Haoyun first saw Dream Jia and Dao Lao, both similarly imprisoned by Elina but fortunate enough not to have been attacked yet, so their situation was temporarily safe. Following the pure white light shining down from above, Haoyun spotted the Balance Ring locked in struggle with the crimson energy and the beam of sacred light shooting from the circular hole towards him.
"Wait a moment! Isn't that circular hole through which the sacred beam is shooting the accidental bullet wound? And isn't that sacred beam the positive energy overflowing from the wound on the Balance Ring?" Could it be that the position I'm currently viewing from is—?" Upon this realization, Haoyun was suddenly shocked to the point of being unable to attach words to it.
Thus, Haoyun quickly withdrew his gaze and began to observe his surroundings. Then, located slightly above and to the right rear of his own visual perspective, Haoyun saw the blood-red runes guiding the energy lightning shot from the Dark Energy Storm attacking the Balance Ring. Then, penetrating the surrounding purple-red outline, Haoyun saw the physical body that was bearing his viewpoint. It was a female body tightly wrapped in intertwining crimson and pure white electric flowers, Elina's body! Haoyun's consciousness had somehow shifted from his own body to Elina's body without his knowing. Haoyun was now observing everything that was happening within the Realm of Balance through the viewpoint located inside Elina's body.
