Xu Yi’s face suddenly cracked open, with fine cracks spreading across the entire face as a rich purplish-black light spilled from the fissures.
The sealed box melted away, and the clown’s Origin finally saw the light of day once more.
The members of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization’s faces turned ashen, aware of the fully intact clown’s terror; yet they still forcibly suppressed the panic within their hearts.
Clown Pennywise could absorb others’ fear.
The more fear directed towards Pennywise, the stronger he became.
With the clown Origin’s emergence, this should have been good news for the Ring of Destruction, but West’s brows furrowed even tighter, sensing that something was even more amiss.
Xu Yi’s face suddenly turned white, not an ordinary pallor, but as though smeared with a copious amount of white paint.
His lips turned a bloody red and stretched into a grotesque smile, looking just like a clown.
Exactly as Xu Yi anticipated, the Soul Split proved no match and was instead invaded by the clown’s Origin.
"Thank you for your hospitality!" Clown Pennywise performed a frenzied dance, his excitement obvious to anyone.
Xu Yi’s face flew out from the Crusher, and Clown Pennywise opened his arms wide, embracing the face. As they fused together, surging purple streams gushed out from the clown’s body.
With the clown regaining his Origin, exaggerated laughter echoed throughout the factory.
He had been imprisoned for far too long. Faced with his Origin so close at hand, how could he resist such temptation?
West felt a nagging unease, knowing Xu Yi as he did; it was unlikely that he would just surrender without a fight.
The reason Xu Yi ceased resisting and allowed himself to be captured was because this was part of the plan all along.
He had put his Soul Split into a "Return to Silence" state, preserving only the most core of his consciousness, which was at its most resilient in this state.
At this moment, the people from the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization should be moving in to capture the clown, yet they silently retreated, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
They discovered the Crusher was now hollow—those pieces of skin tissue had vanished!
Only they knew the true owner of that skin tissue, and the horrifying, brutal existence it represented.
The face that had swallowed all the skin tissue was now merging with Clown Pennywise, and all that tissue must be inside the clown’s body!
Clown Pennywise was preparing to leave this place. Although he very much wished for revenge, he also clearly understood the strength of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization; otherwise, he would not have been captured previously.
He suddenly felt something unusual in his chest and looked down, only to be left stunned.
A giant purple pupil appeared on his chest, coldly observing everyone present.
Clown Pennywise, already an entity of extreme madness and darkness, couldn’t help but tremble uncontrollably at the sight of that pupil.
As a cosmic horror deity presiding over fear, he was now experiencing fear himself.
"Thank goodness I let go early!" Xu Yi inwardly sighed with relief the moment he saw the purple pupil.
If he had not been decisive enough to discard the majority of his Soul Splits, he might not have been able to preserve even this last bit of consciousness.
To them, those skin tissues were like Dragon Blood to common people.
In various myths, there are examples of ordinary humans who, after consuming or bathing in Dragon Blood, acquired great powers.
However, the word ’ordinary’ deserves a big question mark.
Successful consumption of Dragon Blood either requires various coincidences or that the person already possesses a powerful lineage.
For actual commoners, Dragon Blood is extremely toxic and dreadful.
Usually, there’s only one outcome for them: to be corrupted by the Dragon Blood, transforming into deadpools or other bizarre creatures.
The current situation was similar; the original owner of that skin tissue was far too menacing, and even a monster like Clown Pennywise couldn’t contend with it.
Clown Pennywise’s pupils suddenly turned a deep red, baring his teeth at those present like a bloodthirsty beast sighting a herd of prey.
He struggled to contain the bloodlust within him, but such control was unsustainable; under the influence of the skin tissue, his reasoning was gradually deteriorating.
This was Xu Yi’s plan, to use the skin tissue to cause the clown to mutate and lose control, attacking everyone present.
Suppressing the dark power requires the Clown to be in a "high-pressure environment."

For the Clown, neither the Furnace nor the Soul Bind Lines could provide enough pressure.
Xu Yi suddenly changed his thought, considering the numerous Alchemical Machineries of the Ring of Destruction and the top combat forces of the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization’s branch gathered here.
Was there a better way to create pressure for the Clown than challenging this group of people?
Of course, whether this method could squeeze out the dark power, Xu Yi wasn’t sure.
Because it was simply unpredictable.
Dreams couldn’t realize things beyond one’s cognition; no one knew what would happen after swallowing those skin tissues.
But compared to the previous deadlock, this at least provided Xu Yi with a sliver of opportunity.
The Clown’s mutations continued; lumps of flesh surged on both sides of his shoulders, rapidly morphing into two heads, each with a face identical to the Clown’s.
However, the left face was as indifferent as ice, while the right sported an exaggerated smile.
His back suddenly split open, and arm after arm emerged from the rift, their nails sharp.
In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a three-headed, six-armed monster.
He let out a beast-like roar, unable to restrain the surging killing intent in his heart, and pounced on the closest Silver Giant Ape.
The Silver Giant Ape belonged to the Ring of Destruction; under these circumstances, the Clown actually struck at his own "partners," clearly having lost his sanity, making no distinction between friend and foe.
Arms suddenly shot into the air, and a mass of metal parts scattered.
Everyone present changed color; they had all witnessed the Silver Giant Ape’s sturdiness, and yet, in just an instant, its arm had been torn off.
As the Clown Pennywise made his move, the scene immediately descended into chaos.
At first, the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization thought about annihilating the enemy, but they soon realized how naive they were.
The Clown darted among the crowd, wielding fire, wind, thunder, and lightning at his command.
Every casual strike carried an unimaginable force, and within moments, three soldiers from the Black Abyss were torn apart, dying on the spot.
Under the pressure of the Clown Pennywise, the Ring of Destruction and the Ancient God Sacrificial Organization, two opposing forces, temporarily joined hands.
But even so, they were still no match for the Clown.
The mutated Clown was terrifyingly strong; the pupils on his chest occasionally emitted dazzling purple glows, which petrified the space wherever they reached, and those petrified could only become meat on the chopping board.

"That’s just too exaggerated!"
Xu Yi, observing secretly, was shocked; even if the Clown had taken back his Origin, he couldn’t possibly be this terrifying.
It was all the effects of those skin tissues.
The more he saw, the more Xu Yi was shocked, and a shadow fell over his heart.
The Ring of Destruction was also in a difficult position at this point.
Now that the Clown had not only escaped confinement but had also taken back his Origin, he could soon be of use to them.
But there was one prerequisite: that was to deal with the out-of-control Clown.
The eyes of all the Alchemical Machinery fell on West; West was a very decisive man, and he immediately made a decision.
A host of tendrils suddenly surged down from the ceiling, immediately enveloping the Clown Pennywise.
The Clown tried to use his teleportation ability to escape, but the tendrils lit up with green light, and the Clown was trapped within the roots.
In this Ocean Base, the World Tree was the only one capable of dealing with the mutated Clown.
West didn’t want to give up on the Clown Pennywise just like that, so he borrowed the power of the World Tree.
But the next second, the tendrils of the World Tree suddenly shook violently.
