The first meeting between Ho Xie and Thorin Oak Shield was unpleasant, and the wandering prince of the dwarves was unhappy that Ho Xie was not honest enough and did not know each other well enough. And He Xie is also very unimpressed with Thorin feeling good about himself.

A few dishes, just attract me?

Do you want me to get down on my knees and kiss the ring on your hand?

Had it not been for Gandalf's mediation, the two sides would have almost fought.

Eventually, He Xie parted ways with them.

Gandalf was stubborn and suspicious of the dwarves, and his open-mouthed problem was a headache to the extreme, and the sudden appearance of Ho Xie made Gandalf very vigilant, and he wanted to leave Ho Xie in the expedition team to be observed at any time, but the arrogance of Thorin Oak Shield made this possibility completely disappear.

And Gandalf also wanted to ask He Xie about the ring, but because of the contradictions between the two sides, he didn't have a chance to ask in the end.

He Xie didn't care about this, he didn't plan to come into contact with this group of people, especially Gandalf's eager temptation to test him, he didn't want to try the feeling of being spied on by a demigod at any time.

Out of the Misty Mountains, He Xie went all the way to the west, and in the middle of a wilderness, he found an abandoned troll crypt, took out the Supreme Ring, and slowly put it on his hand.

The next moment, He Xie's figure disappeared into thin air, the world in front of him all turned into black and white colors, and the space seemed to become a flowing water wave.

He Xie's ears sounded with a seductive whisper, like a demon's whisper, it was very indistinct, making people feel the urge to listen with bated breath, and it also made He Xie inexplicably feel anxious and depressed in his heart.

What's even worse is that a vague figure bathed in flames slowly emerged and solidified in He Xie's mind, as if he had cast his gaze at He Xie from a distant place.

He Xie didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly sat cross-legged, reciting the twelve mantras in his heart, operating his internal force, and silently resisting this spiritual erosion.

The murmuring in his ears seemed to become a little faster, but He Xie turned a deaf ear, the figure bathed in flames became clearer and clearer, He Xie could feel that he seemed to have seen himself completely.

Sauron!

The Dark Lord, the King of Calamity!

The murmuring gradually became clearer and clearer, and He Xie could already hear some vague words, which seemed to be calling his name, but it didn't seem to be.

His blood began to become hot and began to boil, if there were outsiders here, they would definitely find that He Xie was exuding a green light, his whole body was bruised, his expression was distorted and hideous, and he looked extremely strange and terrifying.

"Come on...... Come to the East...... I'm in Dolgoto, come, come to me......"

A voice full of temptation resounded in He Xie's mind, and the figure in the flame seemed to be getting closer and closer to He Xie in this black and white distorted world.

"I will give you unimaginable rights and wealth, and give you an inexhaustible life, come, come to Dolgoto......"

"!"

He Xie roared in his heart, and the figure in the flames seemed to hear his heart, and was enraged, and let out a sharp whistle.

Rumble!

The flames soared, drowning the black-and-white distorted world in an instant, and the figure in the flames stretched out a big hand twisted like a ghost's claw, and grabbed He Xie's face violently!

He Xie could even feel the blazing temperature of his fingertips, a force he could never resist.

The next moment, He Xie took off the ring on his hand.

Call!

His figure reappeared in place, strangely his clothes still burning with green flames, while his skin was jet black, and the expression on his face was full of hideousness and violence.

He Xie used the last clarity to tap his temples with both hands, and directly poured the true qi in the dantian into it.

His clothes made the sound of hunting, and the green flames made a "snort" sound, slowly extinguished; The blackness on his skin gradually faded like a tide, the expression on his face began to calm down, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

After about a cup of tea, He Xie slowly collected his strength and opened his eyes.

The murmur in his head still echoed, and the voice seemed to curse, becoming extremely angry.

He Xie put the ring directly into his pocket, avoiding direct contact, and the sound disappeared completely.

There was a little tiredness in his eyes, but they were frighteningly bright.

"Sauron......" He said to himself slowly, with a solemn face.

The corrosive power of the Supreme Ring was even stronger than he had imagined.

He had been wearing it for less than ten minutes before he almost lost his mind.

Not only that, in the process of fighting against the power of the Ring, the internal strength he consumed caught up with his hard work for a year, and his spirit was also greatly damaged, if it weren't for the true dragon qi in his will to restrain this cold and evil power, I am afraid that the damage he received would be even greater. Even with how powerful He Xie is now, he actually feels a little tired.

It's no wonder that even Gandalf and a few elven kings avoid it like a snake and scorpion, the weaker the person, the less affected it is, but the stronger the person, the more it will erode the mind.

But despite this, He Xie was slightly excited in his heart, because he found that using this thing to sharpen his spiritual power was indeed effective, and he clearly felt that when he used his internal force to fight against this force, his true qi condensed, and his spiritual power began to merge and transform.

This is a sign of refining qi and transforming gods!

In the Heavenly Dragon World, he was begging for martial arts, but now, he actually skipped this step and directly began refining qi and transforming gods!

Sure enough, everything has disadvantages and benefits, and high risks have high rewards, and he is on the right side of the road!

"Ten minutes ......" He Xie frowned slightly.

Under the power of the Supreme Ring, he could only hold on for ten minutes at most, and according to his estimates, if he wanted to adjust his state and minimize the risk of exercising his mental power, he would have to cultivate for at least three days before he could start wearing it next time.

"Charge for three days, turn on for ten minutes......" He Xie shook his head.

This efficiency is too slow, although with the increase of He Xie's willpower, it will inevitably increase, but the range is very limited, and the speed of improvement will also be very slow.

"Looks like we have to find a way to speed things up," ...... He Xie thoughtfully.

He can be said to be ignorant of the power of the Supreme Ring, so naturally there is no way to directly shield or weaken the power of the Ring. But the power of the One Ring will grow as Sauron recovers, and the only way to do that is to weaken Sauron's power.

"Do you want to join the righteous order?" He Xie had such a thought in his heart.

In this world, at the end of the Second Age, humans, elves, and dwarves joined forces to defeat Sauron, leaving him to hide in the shadows.

However, a thousand years have passed, and Sauron is secretly accumulating strength, and his strength is slowly recovering.

What's more worth mentioning is that in this world, the two forces of light and darkness - let's call it - seem to affect both the rise and fall of the race and the personal strength of the strong.

Therefore, Sauron secretly accumulated troops and cultivated a large number of his minions, so that the power of justice and order was unconsciously weakened, while his strength slowly increased day by day.
