Shadow-type exotic beast
The mention of the last three stages of the Beast Spirit Codex had always been a sore point for Xia Fei. Back when he had found the encyclopedia of exotic beasts, it had mentioned that cultivating all nine stages would allow him to command all the exotic beasts in the world for his own use. With a wave of his arm, he could gather a huge, loyal army.
Unfortunately, the Beast Spirit Codex he had obtained back then was not complete. It only had the first six stages and was missing the most important last three stages. That was why Xia Fei's cultivation of the Beast Spirit Codex had stopped at level 6 for a very long time.
Now that Xia Fei had unintentionally stumbled upon the lost Atlantis Continent, it would be a wonderful thing if he had the chance to obtain the last three layers of the Codex.
Thinking of this, Xia Fei could not help but feel invigorated, quickly making his way toward the golden dome in the center of the city.
As he walked, Xia Fei did not forget to observe his surroundings. This was the lair of those soft-bodied sapient lifeforms. Logically speaking, they should have come out to kill him. It was illogical for Xia Fei to be running around in this hidden space.
The houses on both sides of the road gradually disappeared, replaced by a group of sculptures, countless, enormous sculptures!
Flowers, birds, fish, dragons, gods, Buddhas, warriors, and generals. Their forms were varied and solemn. They must be the gods that the Atlanteans believed in.
According to the Atlantean beast spirit that was trapped on the island, the Atlanteans believed in gods, which was the strongest person in their race. Xia Fei did not really believe in the so-called gods, thinking that it was just a myth of an immortal being.
Take the great demon lord Oro in the ring for example. That bastard was undying and indestructible. Even if he was killed, he would be able to reincarnate. His cultivation was immeasurably high, and if such a person were to be thrown into ancient times, it would be strange if the ignorant commoners did not treat him as a god.
Only those who had come into contact with the Law Realm would understand that it was just a matter of an individual cultivating their strength to the extreme. The potential of intelligent lifeforms was infinitely magnified in the Law Realm, and in the eyes of the weak, it was naturally inconceivable.
As he was thinking about this, Xia Fei crossed the last bridge and entered the heart of Poseidonia.
The golden dome was hundreds of meters high, like a golden bowl that was upside down on the ground. The antenna-like tower stood in the center of the building, and its height was the same as the super pyramid outside.
There were three golden doors, each facing the position of the three pyramids. It seemed that these seemingly unrelated buildings had some kind of inexplicable connection.
"Open!"
Xia Fei mustered all his strength and pushed the door, but it did not budge at all!
As a top-class speed ability user and a Law Sovereign warrior, Xia Fei's strength was not to be underestimated. It was just that this door was so heavy that Xia Fei could not open it no matter how hard he tried, which was rather surprising.
"Don't recklessly barge in. The people who built this city treated the golden palace as the most sacred place. If you use the power of law to force your way in, you might end up triggering an explosion and bring about a disaster. There might be some sort of trap here," Oro sternly said.
Xia Fei took a closer look. Three giant pillars extended from the golden dome, each pointing at the three pyramids. Even the entrances were connected to the pyramids. Xia Fei felt that if there were any secrets in Poseidonia, these three giant pyramids would be the first to be discovered.
Even the large sculptures were a far cry from the pyramids and the golden dome of the sky. The four huge buildings were so abrupt that they were visually stunning!
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei arrived in front of the first giant pyramid in a flash. There was a long staircase leading to the entrance of the pyramid, and on both sides were giant sculptures depicting a voluptuous woman raising a shield.
Xia Fei did not linger and pushed the door with all his might.
Without much effort, the twenty-meter-tall metal door was pushed open!
"Whoosh ~"
A cold wind blew at him, mixed with the stench of blood!
The moment the door opened, Xia Fei was surrounded!
There were countless giant stone pillars in the hall of the pyramid, and many savage-looking humans suddenly charged out from behind them. Some were bare-handed while others were wielding strange golden spears and shields.
These people were naked and covered in tattoos. Their eyes were dull and lifeless, not like the expressions humans should have. They were like stone statues, not at all lively.
Xia Fei frowned. He had seen with his own eyes how the tattoos had turned into soft monsters, so he knew that these people had been corrupted and possessed by intelligent soft-bodied creatures.
Getting into position, Xia Fei planned to use his law power to sweep away all obstacles, but after some thought, he took out the Blood Crystal from his spatial ring!
It had been some time since he had absorbed blood essence, and this strange dagger had already dimmed.
No matter what these creatures were, he would first suck them dry!
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei's footsteps were fast and nimble as he charged into the enemy formation with the Blood Crystal in hand. These infected humans were not very strong, and the moment the dagger pierced through their bodies, they would immediately collapse like deflated balloons. There was no way they could withstand Xia Fei's slash!
More than a thousand lives were instantly taken!
* Pa! *
Xia Fei stomped on a dried-up corpse and spat on it.
After killing so many monsters, the Blood Crystal was only slightly brighter than before, and the effect was not ideal.
Suddenly!
A group of infected humans walked out from behind the stone pillars. They had long since lost the ability to speak, and their mouths were constantly gnashing as if they wanted to skin Xia Fei alive!
Their bodies were covered in tattoos!
Not only were these people tall, but their tattoos were even more prominent. They had probably been corrupted by those high-level soft-bodied parasites.
Dozens of people surrounded Xia Fei with clear division of labor, their hands empty as they glared at Xia Fei.
* Whoosh ~ *
One of them pointed an arm at Xia Fei, and at the same time, his body separated!
His arm shattered along the spiral lines, and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a spiraling blade that howled toward Xia Fei!
There was not a single trace of blood! This person had broken his body into a weapon, but there was no blood? Just what was going on here?
Xia Fei was shocked. The several dozen infected humans had all split open, releasing a pungent stench!
It seemed that these parasites had already taken their lives and changed their bodily functions!
Their bodies were weapons! Weapons that could change at will!
Xia Fei vaguely remembered that there was a special ability that was similar to the attacks of these monsters. They could change the shape and hardness of their bodies, which could be considered a type of physical technique.
However, these monsters were not using any special ability but a kind of life transformation. Once a parasite took over a body, it would be the end of its life. At most, it would be a walking corpse, a puppet. No matter how strange the changes to its body were, it would not feel any pain!
His hand rose and his blade fell! Xia Fei used Crafty Thrust to dodge the attack and then stabbed the Blood Crystal into the enemy's body.
"Eh?" Xia Fei exclaimed. He discovered that the Blood Crystal was actually more effective on this person's blood than on the thousand-some people he had killed!
"So it's a high-level lifeform. Perfect timing! Nourish this weapon of mine! "
Xia Fei was invigorated. He charged left and right, quickly finishing off these slightly high-level mollusks. At this time, the Blood Crystal was a little more vibrant, and it was in high spirits.
There was a statue of a woman in the middle of the main hall of the pyramid. She was holding a shield high like the one outside, but this statue was much smaller. It was not made of stone, but a kind of silver alloy. There was a lamp under her feet, a dark metal lamp.
Xia Fei observed it for a while and discovered that there was nothing strange about the statue, but this lamp was a little strange. It looked like an old-fashioned oil lamp and even had a handle on the outside. Perhaps because it was often opened and closed, the handle was glossy and oily.
Xia Fei curiously opened the lamp and saw that there was a pedestal inside, and there was a blank Origin Crystal on the pedestal!
"An Origin Crystal!" Xia Fei was startled. Only the Law Realm and the two High Races could come into contact with such things. Ordinary people definitely could not have them. This meant that the mysterious Atlanteans were not humans but descendants of experts from the Law Realm!
Xia Fei took out the blank Origin Crystal and replaced it with a grade 4 Origin Crystal. Alas, the lamp still did not light up.
Upon closer inspection, there was a protruding handle under the base of the Origin Crystal. It was also very smooth, as if someone had often touched it a long time ago.
Suspiciously, he extended his hand, and the moment his finger touched the metal, a strange energy suddenly extracted a sliver of the law energy in Xia Fei's body!
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. At the same time, the Origin Energy Lamp suddenly lit up!
The white light shot toward the female statue holding the shield, and the golden shield in her hand suddenly became dazzling. The light formed a straight line and penetrated deep into the top of the pyramid.
Xia Fei was startled and hastily withdrew from the pyramid to observe.
When the light reached the top of the pyramid, it was refracted once more, connecting with the distant golden dome!
"So that's how it is. Opening the golden dome requires three pyramids to work together, using the Origin Crystal as the energy to control it remotely!" Xia Fei muttered to himself.
…
The second pyramid was different from the first one. The statue was of a mighty male warrior wielding a golden spear.
There were also a few infected humans in the pyramid, ready to ambush Xia Fei. Xia Fei, who was already a level 4 Law Sovereign, could not possibly be injured by these fellows. It must be known that Xia Fei studied the Law of Primal Chaos, and even some of the weaker Law Emperors were no match for him, let alone these soft-bodied sapient lifeforms.
After using the Origin Crystal to open the second pyramid, Xia Fei arrived at the last one.
The statue in this pyramid had turned into a monster with tattoos all over its body. Its smooth skin was covered in strange patterns, and it had four fangs, which were protruding from the corners of its mouth like those of a seal. Two of them pointed upward and two of them pointed downward, and there was even a small mustache above its mouth.
Its entire body was pitch-black, and it was shaped like a large lump of cotton. It did not even have a shape.
Just as his finger was about to place the Origin Crystal into the lamp holder, Xia Fei suddenly pulled it back.
"Wait, why are the patterns on this monster the same as those parasites on humans?" Xia Fei frowned and muttered to himself, "Oro, take a look. What is this thing?"
Oro shook his head. "I'm not sure. The three pyramids are for men, women, and exotic beasts, so this monster must be the guardian beast of this group of people. Any powerful clan will raise a guardian beast, and from its appearance, it's probably a rare shadow-type exotic beast."
Shadow-type exotic beasts referred to mystical beasts that did not have any specific physical features and could freely transform. This was a very good proof of this from the statue, but those strange green patterns made Xia Fei wary. They seemed to be no different from parasites.
Suddenly!
