The Lava Monster Leader's confusion and confusion obviously affected the little Lava Monsters. They didn't have their own souls and thoughts. They were just a combination of energy and were controlled by the Lava Monster Leader. At this moment, all of them fell into a state of sluggishness and stopped moving.
A bright red chain cut across the sky at this moment. It seemed to have an infinite length and quickly formed a grid-like chain net.
At this moment, Salamander rushed forward, and two flaming chains shot out from his body to link himself and the Lava Monster Leader. Waves of pure energy were constantly flowing into Salamander's body, but the Lava Monster Leader couldn't show any signs of anger. Salamander was absorbing its pure origin power.
The intense pain and great sense of crisis woke it up. It roared wildly and wanted to resist. Although its power had been greatly weakened, it struggled even more fiercely. The most terrifying thing about dimensional creatures was the absorption of origin power. It could directly annihilate the other party, just like the dwarfs in the fairytale secret realm. Although they died, their imprints would still be able to revive very quickly under the nourishment of the secret realm. However, once the source of their existence was absorbed, they would disappear completely. Of course, the higher the imprint, the harder it was to recover. For the relatively low-level Lava Monster Leader, origin power was undoubtedly what it cared about the most.
Wang Zhong also understood that it wasn't that Salamander didn't work hard. It was just that the difference in power was too great, and he couldn't use many combat methods. Being able to absorb the other party's origin power showed that Salamander's level was very, very high. The title of Flaming Spirit King was just a title he had given himself. As for what kind of flame creature Salamander was, he would probably need to improve himself further before he could find out.
A heavy Subwoofer Cannon, which had been prepared for a long time, pierced through the battlefield and sent seven or eight mini Lava Monsters flying. After that, it hit the Lava Monster Leader, causing it to faint. The other mini Lava Monsters also slowed down. At this moment, Salamander had already gotten close to the Lava Monster Leader with the help of the chains.
He stretched out his flaming left hand and pressed it on the flame imprint on the Lava Monster Leader's forehead.
"Bratios …"
The strange tone was a language that Wang Zhong had never heard of before. Salamander's expression was solemn and solemn. The huge Fire Quartz, which was the leader of the Lava Monsters, dimmed rapidly. Countless fire essence energy was transmitted through the imprint and absorbed into Salamander's body, making his body even more dazzling and resplendent.
The scorching white turned light yellow, and then the light yellow turned gold. It was a golden flame and a golden body!
The entire world fell silent.
The Lava Monster Leader had lost its luster, and its red Fire Quartz was sucked dry in just three to five seconds, turning into an ordinary black stone. Meanwhile, the thousands of little Lava Monsters around it seemed to have lost their power. Their magma bodies dissipated instantly, and the small, crystal-clear Fire Quartz fell to the ground one by one. As far as the eye could see, the ground within a radius of a few hundred meters was filled with red Fire Quartz!
Wang Zhong kept the clown mask and threw the chattering Simba back into his Soul Sea. Immediately, he began to feel the connection between the main body and the Dharma Idol. If the main body entered the Middle Phase of the Heroic Soul Stage, then the Dharma Idol would evolve as well. However, if the Dharma Idol evolved first … he had never heard of such a thing before.
There had never been a Dharma Idol like Wang Zhong, who had a certain degree of self-awareness and the ability to self-evolve. Perhaps there had been such Dharma Idols throughout history, but at the very least, there had never been any records.
Did he break through to the Middle Phase of the Heroic Soul Stage? Wang Zhong originally planned to let Salamander practice, but this was really an unexpected gain. Compared to the increase in Soul Power, Wang Zhong could feel that Salamander's flame body had become purer, and his power level had also increased. It was probably because he had absorbed the flame essence of the Lava Monster Leader. In addition to the increase in Soul Power, his flame body had also evolved to a certain extent.
At this moment, the entire space was shaking and in a state of collapse. Obviously, Wang Zhong had just killed the core of this secret realm. Subconsciously, he quickly picked up a pile of Fire Quartz from the ground and hurriedly rushed out.
Everyone was waiting for Wang Zhong. When they saw him coming out, they waved their Pioneering Orders from afar and activated them immediately. It took time for the secret realm to collapse, so everyone had to leave. Otherwise, they would be sucked into the dimensional gap. Even Heavenly Soul Stage soldiers would feel despair when they entered the broken space.
Bang, bang, bang …
Everyone landed in a sorry state. All of them were burned and tattered. Wang Zhong was the last to fall, and everyone looked at him in shock. What did this guy do?!
He was just an Early Heroic Soul Stage, but in the end … No one would believe this. Not only that, the entire secret realm was destroyed. What the hell was this???
Oscar felt that he had lived for so long in vain. After all, he used to be a member of one of the three major exploration teams. He had indeed seen incredible experts and geniuses. There were some who had shown incredible power at the Early Heroic Soul Stage, but he had never seen someone like Wang Zhong. He was … a monster.
Perhaps it was because everyone was covered in dust, they couldn't help but laugh until their stomachs hurt. However, they were very cheerful and excited. This was the exploration team that everyone wanted.
"I suddenly realized that meeting you guys was really a losing deal. It seems that we didn't even complete this mission." Oscar laughed until his stomach hurt. He had to lose thousands of Holy Coins just to complete a newcomer mission. No team leader was more miserable than him.
A large pile of Fire Quartz fell out. "Although I don't know how much it is worth, it seems to be enough for the mission."
Before he left, Wang Zhong quickly scooped up some Fire Quartz Stones. Damn it, how could he return empty-handed?
Everyone was stunned for a moment before picking them up happily. "Other than causing trouble, you are still useful," said Sharmie happily. Sharmie said happily. Her huge chest kept popping up. Clearly, girls liked shiny things, especially fire-type things. "I want to make a necklace."
"We've made a fortune!" Oscar couldn't stop smiling. At least he had earned back the cost of the Boundary Stones. These Fire Quartz were of good quality. Although they weren't expensive, they were easy to sell, of good quality, and there were a lot of them. They should be able to earn about 5,000 Fire Quartz.
Everyone waited at the Queen's Bar until Oscar finished dealing with the follow-up of the mission.
The mission item was completed with some small Fire Quartz, but the reward was more than 1,500 Holy Coins. A detailed report on the Lava Monster Leader brought the team extra income. In addition, Oscar sold the remaining small Fire Quartz to a Senior from the Alchemy Union. The estimated price was slightly lower than his previous estimate, two Holy Coins each. He sold them for a total of about 2,000 Holy Coins. Firstly, it would be a waste of time to sell them bit by bit. Secondly, while the Senior Alchemy Union took advantage of him, he also solved the Glazed Crystal problem for Wang Zhong. It was a mutually beneficial transaction.
With an income of more than 4,000 Holy Coins, after deducting the expenses of this trip and the Pioneering Order, each person received about 300 Holy Coins. Originally, he wanted to give Wang Zhong a bigger share according to his contribution, but Wang Zhong rejected it. It wasn't easy for everyone. Newcomers needed a lot of Holy Coins at the beginning stage, otherwise, it would seriously slow down their cultivation speed. Thus, he treated it as a benefit for everyone. This was also the most effective way to improve the strength of the exploration team as soon as possible. Only when the overall strength of the exploration team was stronger would there be more opportunities to make money in the future.
Sharmie was so happy that she almost fainted. Frankly speaking, she fainted from alcohol. Ever since she entered the Holy City two months ago, she had never been so high-spirited. She drank alcohol as if it was water, and she didn't reject anyone. Obviously, the others weren't any better.
Oscar handed a brand new Glazed Crystal to Wang Zhong and said with a smile, "I didn't ask for money. Take it as a compensation for selling the small Fire Quartz at a low price. It's always much easier to find such things in the Alchemy Union."
Sure enough, they had connections. Wang Zhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He had worked so hard for more than a month and still couldn't get his hands on something, but the Alchemy Union had connections. They just told him yesterday, and the goods arrived today. It was absolutely efficient.
In the Holy City, money wasn't everything, but if money and connections were used, it would definitely be successful.
Wang Zhong, who had gotten the Glazed Crystal, obviously wasn't in the mood to celebrate with everyone. He had been looking forward to this moment for too long.
After saying goodbye to everyone, he couldn't wait to return to his dormitory. All the other materials for the Micro Mirror had already been prepared. Assembling the Micro Mirror was also a time-consuming task, but he had already done a lot of it when he was looking for the Glazed Crystal.
The most important thing was a runic array that was used to assist in observation. This was the main supplement for observing the internal power of the Micro Mirror, and it was also the most special feature of the entire Micro Mirror. It wasn't used as a 'microscope' that was used to magnify and observe cells in alchemy courses. The main direction of observation was not pure matter, but the matter energy contained in these matter. That was the theme that Cellular Cosmology had been elaborating on.
He carefully cut the Glazed Crystal, polished it into a suitable shape, and mounted it on the Micro Mirror. After more than a month of hard work, he could finally get started. Wang Zhong was also full of anticipation.
Due to insufficient preparation, there weren't many materials to observe. He only managed to buy a little bit of Evil Demon blood at a roadside shop when he went home. This was a material that was relatively difficult to obtain on Earth, but it was very common in the Holy City. There were countless slaves with so-called Evil Demon blood in the Holy City, and as long as there was a demand, someone would draw it from them. Evil Demon blood could be bought everywhere on the market, and the price wasn't high.
He placed a drop of Evil Demon blood between two thin pieces of Glazed Crystal and observed it through the Micro Mirror. The blood stain that looked ordinary to the naked eye turned into a variety of strange forms.
The expensive and sophisticated instrument was only able to observe it at the most basic magnification, and it already showed rich cell forms. This had been seen many times in the Tyrants' alchemy classes.
The image of the Evil Demon blood was magnified to the cell form. It was a green round body full of barbs. With the help of the Micro Mirror's special power rune, he could also see the layers of crystal covering the surface of these barbed green cells.
It was a thin layer of energy bodies with quite obvious energy characteristics. The Evil Demon cells that were wrapped by these energy bodies appeared full and aggressive, just like living individuals. This also reflected the most basic nature of Evil Demon blood. Even if one only looked at it with the naked eye, one could see that every drop of Evil Demon blood occasionally had a wriggling phenomenon.
Was this the unique nature of Evil Demons? Immortal Blood? Legend had it that there were high-level Evil Demons that could be reborn under certain conditions as long as there was a drop of blood left. The blood that had been separated from the body and was in a dead state still retained its vitality. This was something that human blood did not have.
The Tyrants actually had a lot of research in this area. The regenerative nature of Evil Demon cells and their indestructible characteristics were often used by the Tyrants to transform themselves. They desired to obtain the same regenerative power and resilience as the Evil Demons. There were quite a lot of people who chose this path, but frankly speaking, very few succeeded. Furthermore, the Tyrants' understanding of Evil Demon blood was based on understanding and research on the material level. Cellular Cosmology was also considered a unique way of understanding it from the internal energy level. Although the two could occasionally reach the same conclusion, in fact, there was nothing in common whether it was the research process itself or the research direction and goals.
Wang Zhong made various notes while matching the scenes he saw with the theories in the book. At the same time, he also added his own understanding. Cellular Cosmology was more of a guide and speculation, and there were not many actual accurate conclusions. Everything needed to be confirmed by the latecomers themselves.
There was energy left in the cells. Was this unique to Evil Demons? Or was it that all cells were the same?
Wang Zhong finished recording everything he could see with the Evil Demon Blood Observation Crystal, but he felt a little unsatisfied. There was a mess of things in the room, but he had seen everything that could fit into the two observation crystals.
The energy contained in the cells was not unique to Evil Demon blood. Even if it was just a piece of white gauze or a drop of water, he could still observe some faint signs of energy activity on the surface of the cells. Of course, the energy activity of the cells in the Evil Demon blood was much smaller and almost undetectable.
Everything in the world had material energy. It was just that the amount of energy that existed and the effects were different. It was the same for quite a few things that he had tested. After seeing so many things, the mysterious cellular energy in Wang Zhong's eyes had gradually been stripped of its outer layer. Perhaps the secret of the demon's rebirth was only in its unique form of energy, and not in its' possession of energy 'itself.
Finally, he tried to observe his blood. Logically speaking, as a human at the Heroic Soul Stage, the energy contained in the cells of his body should be extremely active. At the very least, it should be much richer than the energy in the drop of low-rank Evil Demon blood. However, the result made him a little sluggish. Just as the book said, once the human cells were separated from the body, they really could not accommodate Soul Power. Or perhaps … Soul?
At first, the cells were active, but after just a dozen seconds, the energy that originally permeated the surface of the blood cells began to disappear rapidly. In the end, the cells became completely dead, without a trace of energy remaining.
