Amon's wild laughter echoed as Rod felt the space twisting around him, the pressure on his body growing increasingly intense. This Abyss Fragment seemed to be curling and compressing, pressing all its force upon him.

"I understand now!"

In the Dream Realm, Asa suddenly shouted.

"Amon is using the power of the Abyss against us! He has become the Abyss! This Abyss Fragment is Amon's true form!"

Rod was stunned by Asa's words: "What did you say? Amon became an Abyss?"

"It's the Abyss Fragment!" Asa corrected: "This fragment that has fallen from the outer layers of the Abyss derivations!"

Rod found it hard to imagine: "How was this done? Can a person become the very space itself?"

"Master." Asa explained: "Amon is not human, he is merely a consciousness, an obsession, a thread of hatred, hence he cannot be destroyed. This is Ancient Evil Thought, and the Abyss itself is a vast collection of dark will, forming a special space through complex changes."

"Amon placed the Evil Seed into this Abyss Fragment."

Rod was genuinely shocked, the Evil Seed could actually be implanted into an Abyss Fragment. Suddenly, he recalled the deep hatred the Abyss Monsters had towards him during the Abyss battles.

At the time, he thought it was Amon's petty trick against him, but now it seems, it was no petty trick, but rather a reflection of its innate will, the Abyss Monsters are naturally influenced by the Abyss.

"However."

Asa continued:

"The will of the Abyss is infinitely vast, we even consider it the dark side of the creator's soul. Though just a small fragment, it cannot be directly controlled. A significant portion of Abyssal creatures within must be killed to restore the Abyss Fragment to its primal state, only then can it be grasped."

"This Evil Seed might have existed in this loose outer layer derivation of the Abyss for thousands of years, it needs to grow as much as possible to control larger fragments."

"Additionally, to free the Fragment from the Abyss's interference, he must find a supporter for this Abyss Fragment, making it an existence like an Abyss Rift, only then can it be conveniently controlled."

"Clearly, the Ancient Dragon King of Ash Lake is his target."

Rod suddenly understood.

"By clearing the Ash Lake area and murdering the Ancient Dragon King, we would disrupt his plan, thus forcing him to act prematurely."

"No wonder this Abyss Fragment suddenly broke free, rushing eagerly to devour the Ash Lake area."

Asa nodded: "You're right, Master. Once he saw you begin to battle, he immediately submerged into the Royal City's Abyss. He certainly has some means to travel within the Abyss, utilizing some unknown method to disturb the Abyss, causing this Fragment to break free."

"After devouring Ash Lake, lure you into killing the Ancient Dragon King. Once the King is dead, the Abyss Fragment completely separates from the Abyss, becoming an existence similar to an Abyss Rift. In fact, Abyss Rifts often evolved this way."

"And once the Evil Seed takes shape, it becomes equal to Amon's avatar, allowing him to swiftly replace and overtake the original will."

"In my sensing, once the Ancient Dragon King died, he vanished from beneath the Royal City's Abyss and suddenly appeared here."

"Having mastered the Abyss Fragment, he completed the transformation from Ancient Evil Thought to a more powerful eternal existence and can use the power of the Abyss to kill you here, devouring your spiritual energy and strength."

"This is his plan."

"Exquisitely crafted, extraordinarily detailed, beyond all imagination, yet it still couldn't escape my eye! Do you see? This is my astonishing wisdom, unrivaled, incomparable, unimaginable... I'm not a fool, that defeat was all because of the Book of Betrayal, it betrayed me!"

Asa's entire soul expanded, yellow mist surged, countless tiny yellow particles flickering in and out.

Clearly, he was still very concerned about that battle. Initially, as the Great Sect Leader of the Polluter Sect, he attempted to use the Book of Destiny to defeat and replace Rod, but was instead trapped by the "Book of the Future" within.

Both parties blamed each other madly for that defeat, constantly attacking each other since then, the situation still remains explosive.

Rod said with a bit of helpless amusement: "Yes, yes, Asa, you certainly had no fault... uh, since you've uncovered Amon's scheme, you must have a way to counter it, right?"

Asa seemed slightly unsatisfied with Rod's perfunctory response and snorted arrogantly:

"Of course I do, my master, even though he became an Abyss Fragment, he remains Ancient Evil Thought, an eternal imprint, an unchanging essence, no matter what he becomes or wears, this core never changes, so my solution is..."

He chuckled maliciously.

"Let me out, and I'll bite him to death!"

Rod immediately smiled, quickly summoned the Strong Wind's Phantom and granted Asa permission.

The translucent shadow instantly turned yellow, a blurry humanoid gradually emerged.

"Hahaha, tremble, Amon!"

Asa laughed maniacally, his voice resonating only within the special spiritual connection of Ancient Evil Thought, but due to his unique relationship with Rod, he could hear it too.
