Chapter 2616 Demonic Transformation

Karlia took a deep breath, the weight of the solemn oath she had just sworn still settling upon her.

"I, Karlia, the first of her name and from the true lineage of the War Flame Demon tribe, swear upon my ancestors' spirit that I shall keep the secret of Lin Mu in my heart and would not reveal it. If I break this oath, may my soul be devoured by the Flames of the Nine Hells!" Her voice rang with unyielding conviction.

Lin Mu held her gaze, his clear eyes scanning her for even the slightest trace of deceit. But there was none. To confirm, he invoked the Severing Heart Sutra, a technique that calmed his emotions and sharpened his perception of others. As he looked deeper into her mind—not intrusively, but enough to sense her sincerity—he found no duplicity. Only resolve and honesty radiated from her.

"So mote it be," he said, his voice steady.

"So mote it be," Karlia echoed.

Suddenly, an unseen power bound their oath. A flicker of phantom flames danced in their eyes, visible for only a fleeting moment, signifying the pact's divine acknowledgment. The very air seemed to hum with the energy of their unbreakable promise.

With the oath sealed, Lin Mu saw no reason to withhold his secret any longer.

"I will show you now," he said solemnly, his tone carrying both gravity and caution. "But I warn you, it is unlike any demonic technique you may have encountered. Even Ziran saw only a glimpse of it, and he couldn't comprehend what he witnessed."

Karlia crossed her arms and leaned forward, her curiosity piqued. "So, my husband has seen it? That makes me even more eager to witness this firsthand."

Lin Mu remained silent, letting her come to her own conclusions.

Karlia's brows furrowed as she tried to make sense of what she had seen. She recalled her countless battles and the traits of demonic transformations, but none matched Lin Mu's display.

"It's simply a technique of mine," Lin Mu finally said, his voice calm. "You can think of it as a legacy I inherited."

Karlia's expression grew serious. She looked deeply into his eyes, searching for any hint of a lie. "You truly have no demonic bloodline?" she asked one last time.

"None," Lin Mu affirmed.

Karlia's demeanor shifted abruptly. She stepped closer, her tone grave. "Then you must claim that you have one."

Lin Mu's brows knitted in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"If it becomes known that you can transform into a demonic form like that without possessing a demon's bloodline, it will cause an upheaval. Both the Demon Tribes and Human powers will come after you."

Lin Mu's eyes widened. "Is it really that severe?"

Karlia nodded, her face grim. "You don't understand the implications. What you just demonstrated removes the line between humans and demons. It proves that humans can become demons and perhaps even vice versa. Both sides hold too much pride to accept such a truth."
