A 'Ji was sitting cross-legged in the material storage with his palms facing the sky while he spun slowly in the air. Then, he opened his eyes.
His eyes, which were like silver lakes, looked like they had been struck by a meteor. The boiling and surging ripples destroyed his calmness and confidence.
"No!"
A 'Ji cried out. His vitality magnetic field spread to the surface of his body, and it instantly turned into a dazzling spirit energy armor.
Since he had already digested one and a half super gene medicine, this time, the spirit energy armor did not just cover his right arm. Instead, it spread all the way up his right arm. Soon, it even covered his toes.
He only used half a second to finish equipping himself.
In the next half a second, A 'Ji did not even turn his head around. He just casually swung his saber and slashed at the door of the material storage behind him.
He might not have a saber in his hands, but his spirit energy turned into armor.
The armor continued spreading to form a spirit flame blade, and it was even more domineering than the heavy saber made of a Hell Beast's spine.
A saber glare that was eight meters long shot through the air. It struck the Broken Claw Dragon's shoulder as it charged in with its head lowered.
Unfortunately, the Broken Claw Dragon's flesh was dozens of times stronger than the one lying in the medical cabin, whose joints had exploded and organs were failing.
The Broken Claw Dragon was covered in sturdy scales to begin with.
There was also the Vortex's black liquid that formed a slippery shell around him.
A 'Ji's slash only managed to send dozens of scales flying. Most of the power was negated, and it only left behind a finger-sized wound on the black shell.
But he did not manage to completely cut open the invader's chest as he expected.
"What monster is this?!"
A 'Ji turned his head around and saw the Broken Claw Dragon covered in black liquid.
Even he, who had remained calm in the face of danger, had a look of disbelief appear on his face.
The Vortex controlled the Broken Claw Dragon and let out a savage laugh that resembled a human's. It turned into a black bolt of lightning that charged at A 'Ji.
A 'Ji's pupils shrank to the size of needles. He instantly turned into thousands of afterimages and dodged the Broken Claw Dragon's attack.
At the same time, he gathered half of his spirit flames and slashed at the wound on the side of its abdomen.
But the Broken Claw Dragon's charge was just a feint.
Its real killing move was its tail, which instantly broke through the speed of sound.
When A 'Ji's knifehand stabbed deep into the Broken Claw Dragon's abdomen, the Broken Claw Dragon's tail rammed into A' Ji's chest like a morningstar.
Hence, when A 'Ji brought out a bunch of deformed organs from the Broken Claw Dragon's abdomen, his spirit energy battlesuit was like fragile glass. It was crushed by the Broken Claw Dragon's tail, and even his chest caved in.
"Pu!"
A 'Ji coughed up blood and fell backward. He crashed into the last row of display cabinets beside the safe.
The powerful tremors caused the remaining five gene drugs in the safe, which were even darker in color and contained even more spirit energy, to fall to the ground and roll all over the floor.
Even though the outer shell of the gene medicine was carved out of a single piece of crystal without a single crack, it was far stronger than ordinary tempered glass. It would not shatter into pieces if it fell from such a height.
A 'Ji's heart ached so much that his eyes twitched.
It was as if these medicines were more important than his sunken chest.
The Vortex instantly noticed what A 'Ji was paying attention to.
Of course, even if A 'Ji did not say anything, the five gene drugs that exuded an incredibly strong fragrance that caused all the treasures in the warehouse to pale in comparison had long since attracted the Vortex's attention. It made all the cells in its body thirst for them, and they were eager to try them.
It secreted some black adhesive liquid to plug up the hole in its abdomen. Then, it extended its tail, and the end slowly spread open to pick up the third gene drug.
It first brought it into its nose and sniffed it carefully.
Then, it sniffed A 'Ji's scent.
When it saw the two empty bottles on the floor, it instantly came to a realization. A 'Ji's fighting strength had suddenly increased by a lot and he could even block a full-powered strike from the Broken Claw Dragon. It was because he had injected two gene drugs into him.
The Vortex cackled. Without hesitation, it injected the third gene drug into its body.
"Argh …"
As the blue liquid entered the Broken Claw Dragon's throat, a painful but satisfying moan came from the depths of its throat.
The Vortex looked as if it had reached the pinnacle of bliss. Its limbs and tail were straight. Only its claws and fangs trembled slightly.
As the medicinal liquid flowed rapidly in its deformed and twisted body, a series of crackling and popping noises came from inside, as if a horrifying demon was breaking out of the ground.
Its vitality magnetic field was so strong that A 'Ji's skin crawled, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
No one knew better than A 'Ji just how strong and terrifying the seven super gene drugs were.
They were known as Hell's Blood. They were made by gathering the blood of hundreds of Hell Beasts and using more than eight hundred supplementary materials to meticulously create them.
Even if they dug three feet deep into Dragon City, they would only be able to find these seven.
Right now, the strongest gene drug available in Dragon City was Raging Dragon Blood, which was said to come from the blood of Apocalyptic Beasts.
At first glance, Apocalyptic Beasts were of a higher rank than Hell Beasts, so Raging Dragon Blood should be stronger than Hell's Blood.
The problem was, Apocalyptic Beasts had always been rare, and they were usually incredibly brutal. They would not be captured alive by humans.
They also had great fighting strength and vitality. Even if they ran into Deity Realm superhumans, they would usually have to fight until their last cell burned up.
In the end, even if humans won against Apocalyptic Beasts, it was impossible for them to get a lot of fresh blood from them.
The blood of Apocalyptic Beasts would either rot and go bad quickly, or the spirit energy contained in them would have long since been used up.
Hence, the amount of Apocalyptic Beast blood in the Raging Dragon Blood in the market was usually very small. It was just a gimmick.
What really worked in the medicine were the "supplementary materials" made from various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
But the seven Hell's Blood were different.
Hell Beasts were the highest-grade monsters that humans could capture and take a large amount of blood from.
The seven Hell's Blood were as thick as a finger, and it took more than fifty tons of Hell Beasts' blood to get them.
Collecting the Hell Beasts' blood had practically used up all the money Saber Jin Wanhao had accumulated over his entire life.
And the difficulty and risk he ran into during the process of removing the impurities from dozens of tons of Hell Beasts' blood and overcoming the rejection process to perfectly fuse it with all sorts of treasures was ten times higher than when he secretly bought this batch of blood and kept it fresh.
Even if he was known as the Underground Emperor and could do whatever he wanted in the gray areas of Dragon City, he could not do anything.
Saber Jin Wanhao poured his entire life's work into creating these seven vials of Hell's Blood.
Even if he had more than one hundred tons of Hell Beasts' blood, it would be impossible for him to create the eighth one.
After all, many of the necessary conditions for the creation process no longer existed. For example, Red Brows Su Lun's mother, the genius pharmacist, was already dead.
It was easy to imagine just how valuable these seven Hell's Blood were.
When he saw the deformed monster inject a Hell's Blood into its body, A 'Ji's heart clenched in pain, and great fear rose in him.
Hell's Blood contained rampaging spirit energy, and it was not something a normal superhuman could inject carelessly.
Even he had to categorize the Hell's Blood based on the different densities. He had to start with Hell's Blood, which had the lowest densities and the most protective medicinal liquid. He had to continuously cultivate and digest it. Once the strength of his body and the activity of his cells increased, he could inject the next Hell's Blood with a higher density.
Just now, the deformed monster had injected Hell's Blood 3.
If a normal superhuman had injected it recklessly, they would have gone through spirit energy deviation. Their bodies would have spontaneously combusted, and they would have exploded.
But A 'Ji had already seen the monster's true form.
The Vortex had occupied the Broken Claw Dragon's body.
The Broken Claw Dragon itself was a Hell Beast.
The Hell's Blood also contained a hint of the Broken Claw Dragon's blood.
The Vortex was the crystallization of the monster civilization's biochemical technology.
If this deformed monster could actually withstand the violent impact of Hell's Blood 3 and absorb all the spirit energy inside, just how terrifying would it become?
A 'Ji did not dare to think about it anymore.
The Broken Claw Dragon stumbled around as if it was drunk and started dancing.
Its expression was a little out of control. Half of it was in pain, and the other half was in delight.
The mouth on the monster's tail opened and closed to bite down on its own body. It tore off its scales and shell to reveal the steaming, magma-like flesh inside.
A 'Ji knew that the deformed monster was resisting the impact of Hell's Blood 3 and trying to digest and absorb the super gene medicine.
This was its best chance.
It was also its only chance.
A 'Ji widened his silver eyes and shouted. His sunken chest swelled up again.
His canine teeth sank deep into his lips, and the blood that flowed out had a blue luster to it.
The broken battlesuit of spiritual energy had turned into hundreds of glittering spots of light that were dancing around him.
At that moment, they were summoned and bound by his vitality magnetic field, so they gathered together again.
But they did not cover his entire body. Instead, they surged to his right arm and formed a saber of light that could cut through everything with an unstoppable force.
"Die!"
A 'Ji aimed at the Broken Claw Dragon's neck and swung it down.
The Vortex might have been dazed by the monstrous Hell's Blood, but it sensed the murderous intent that filled the air in time. It quickly extended its tail and opened its mouth to block the attack.
Thud!
The blade of light followed the monster's tail and slashed down, almost cutting the monster's tail vertically in half.
However, in the middle of the broken tail, there were dozens of strands of black mucus connected to each other.
As Hell's Blood 3 was quickly digested and absorbed by the Vortex, the black adhesive liquid secreted madly and stuck the tail together again.
A 'Ji snorted coldly. He swung his saber of light and cut off the entire tail.
The severed tail was like a venomous snake with its own life. It shrank and shot forward to bite A 'Ji's head.
