The mana storm easily shattered his magical defenses, and the mana storm turned into a hurricane that blew through the body of the Warlock transplanted with a Bloodline Warlock's bloodline. He screamed, but it was useless. His body seemed to have experienced thousands of years of decay in that short second, and the mana in his body was taken away by the terrifying mana storm. His body rapidly lost moisture, and then dried up. Finally, it shattered into countless fragments, just like a sand sculpture being blown away by a gust of wind.
In one second, a Heaven Rank Bloodline Warlock with a Bloodline Transplant died. His corpse was ground into the finest fragments by the mana storm and his mana was forcibly drawn into the chaotic mana storm filled with destructive power. And within this cave with a dozen passages, eight more passages started spurting out destructive mana storms.
The colorful mana storms were like fountains that erupted from the narrow holes. Everything that was hit by these fountains, be it the hard stone walls or the exposed mana crystals on the ground, would only end up in pieces. After the mana crystals were shattered, the stable mana contained within would instantly become berserk under the influence of the mana storm. Then, it would turn into supplementary power and join the chaotic mana storm.
In less than two seconds, the chaotic mana storm had already filled the entire cave. The Crown of Thorns' powerhouses raised shields, but their shields were like rapidly melting ice, rapidly weakening and dissipating.
Light flickered in Max's crystal eyes as he raised a crystal shield and instantly found a way to dodge.
"Everyone, hide in that corner. George, hurry up and control the stone wall, let us hide inside."
Max raised his crystal shield and instantly turned it into a passage. The group passed through that passage in half a second and reached a place in the cave that wouldn't be affected by the mana storm. That corner wouldn't be affected by the mana storm's first impact. Moreover, it was the furthest away from the first impact and the impact of the mana storm within the cave was the lowest there.
Max discovered this place immediately and didn't hesitate to bring his people to that corner. George activated the power of his bloodline and made the stone wall cave in. A layer of cyan light film appeared in the original position of the stone wall. The group hid inside the light film, and the terrifying mana storm outside became stronger and stronger. The exposed Mana Crystals in the cave all collapsed, causing the mana storm inside the cave to become stronger and stronger.
After five seconds, George's complexion became somewhat pale, and after two seconds, his complexion became so red that it was about to drip blood. The smell of blood pervaded the air and blood seeped out of George's nostrils. Purplish blue blood vessels could even be seen on the surface of his skin. Small lumps were constantly wriggling inside the blood vessels. George's complexion became redder and redder, and his aura became stronger and stronger.
"Dolos!"
Max roared, and the other Warlock next to him walked to the side of the cyan light curtain, stretched out his hands, and a layer of water spread out from his hands, and then stuck to the cyan light curtain.
Immediately, Idu severed his control over the cyan light screen. His face, which was originally red as if it was about to drip blood, slowly returned to normal, and then became incomparably pale. In a few seconds, his power reached its limit, and his blood began to boil, using this to achieve even greater power. However, if this power became too strong, he would lose control, and in the end, his body would explode and he would die.
George sat on the ground and panted heavily. He only used his remaining power to control the depression to make it deeper and the exit smaller to buy time for the others. After all, his power was only to control rocks. He was best at camouflage and not defense. He turned this place into a small cave and made it smaller so that the others could defend for a longer time.
Outside the cave, the chaotic mana storm was still raging. After the terrifying mana storm filled the huge cave, it started spreading towards the other passages. But even if there was a vent, the mana storm left behind was still very frightening.
In less than a minute, the other Heaven Rank powerhouse also couldn't keep defending. Shelton strode towards the hole that had already become over two meters wide. Dense black smoke surged out and transformed into pitch-black sinister demonic skulls. These demonic skulls were biting each other and forming a pitch-black wall blocking the entrance of the hole, resisting the mana storm outside.
After three minutes, Shelton was also unable to hold on and kept changing people.
After half of them disappeared, everyone lost the strength to continue. This kind of pure Mana confrontation was their shortcoming. It was the easiest way to cause the instability of their bloodline. It was even easier to cause the instability of their bloodline than to directly fight.
The people on the left and right had to rest, and only Max still had power. Max had a calm expression and didn't say anything. He silently walked over and prepared to take over the defense.
Although the power of the Mana Storm outside had weakened, it was still ongoing. If they waited until Max couldn't hold on any longer and the Mana Storm was still this powerful, everyone would die here.
Gazing at the colorful mana storm outside the hole, Max had a complicated expression in his eyes. Then, he silently walked to the edge of the hole and placed his palm on the wall. In an instant, a layer of crystal spread along his palm and rapidly formed a crystal wall that blocked the hole. The Warlock with the bloodline transplant couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground. He panted heavily and his arms were trembling.
Max was the most powerful person here, and he was also the last person they could rely on.
That layer of crystal curtain blocked the entrance of the cave, and the destructive mana storm outside kept blowing on the surface of the crystal curtain. That soft, multicolored light gently brushed past the surface of the crystal and shaved off at least a quarter of the crystal's thickness. As for Max, he kept replenishing his power and kept going in this seesaw battle of attrition.
After over twenty minutes, Max's complexion became somewhat pale and the light flickering in his crystal eyes became somewhat irregular. His mana consumption was extremely fierce, but according to the mana reserves of a 5th Rank Heaven powerhouse, this kind of mana consumption wasn't that terrifying.
But this kind of seesaw battle was using bloodline power. That kind of power was a burden to a bloodline transplant mage with an imperfect bloodline transplant.
If this went on, his bloodline would become unstable and the result would be no different from the others. His mana hadn't been completely consumed, but his bloodline had already started flaring.
The mana storm outside had already weakened a lot, but it still hadn't reached the stage where the others could resist it. Despair could be seen in Max's eyes, but he was still holding on. But the others could no longer suppress their despair.
"We are going to die, we are going to die here. The monster Mafa Merlin talked about has definitely awakened …"
A bloodline transplant Warlock mumbled with a despairing expression. As for the others, they remained silent and calmly looked at Max, who was still holding on.
"When this terrifying mana storm appeared, I felt the aura of Hell's power. It belonged to that slut Sunny. That damned b * stard, she definitely summoned a Devil Overlord. If not for that, she definitely wouldn't have awakened that terrifying monster Mafa Merlin talked about …"
"That damned slut, she must have already died. Even if she died, she would still drag us down with her …"
"Mafa Merlin might have already died here. He definitely went further than us, he should be closer to the origin of this terrifying mana storm. It must be that crazy idiot Sunny. She didn't believe Mafa Merlin's words and used formidable power underground …"
It seemed that in an instant, everyone had found a way to vent their anger and began to curse Sunny. Unfortunately, everyone was sure that under this kind of power, Sunny was definitely dead. It was impossible for a Warlock with a Bloodline Transplant to survive here alone.
Just pure mana could bring such a terrifying mana storm, it was far beyond the effects of spells. To have such formidable mana, it had to be a level 49 magic beast at the very least, and a relatively powerful one at that.
The group of people cursed Sunny to reduce their fear of death. Max remained silent as he looked outside the Crystal Curtain. The Crystal Curtain, which was originally at least a meter thick, was now only half a meter thick. Half a meter of the crystal was being corroded by the mana storm every second, and Max had to make sure that the Crystal Curtain wouldn't be torn apart within a second.
His bloodline started changing and boiling. Max's eyes were already involuntarily twitching, and the pain from his eye sockets was intensifying. Max couldn't help feeling a kind of despair …
'It's over, it's completely over. There's not enough time. My eyes were already starting to hurt, and there was already a problem with the coordination between my eyes and my body. My bloodline was starting to boil, and in ten minutes at most, my bloodline would thoroughly collapse and I wouldn't be able to resist. Even if the others recovered a bit, they would only be able to resist for three minutes at most.
The terrifying mana storm outside was constantly weakening. At this rate, it would take at least twenty minutes for it to weaken to the point where everyone could resist it. But after three minutes, everyone would be torn to shreds by the mana storm. Even I wouldn't be able to resist it for much longer.
'What kind of terrifying existence is slumbering underground? Just the burst of mana has such formidable power, could it be that it has already reached level 50? An ordinary level 49 magic beast wouldn't be able to let its pure mana affect such a large area and have such power.
'Could Mafa Merlin still be alive under this kind of frightening power? His research of this plane had already reached a very profound level, so how could he not be prepared to deal with such a situation? 'But in this kind of situation, no one can survive …
'No, Mafa Merlin is definitely still alive, he's definitely still alive, but how did Mafa Merlin do it? He was able to avoid this disaster, how did he do it …'
Max's thoughts started to spread, and he suddenly thought of Lin Yun, but an intense pain interrupted his thoughts. The crystal eye in his left eye socket throbbed even more violently, and blood flowed down from his left eye socket. The skin around his eye socket seemed to have been torn apart by a huge force.
A trace of pain flashed on Max's face, and he covered his left eye with one hand, hoping to control his boiling bloodline and the eyeball that was about to burst out of his eye socket.
But after a few seconds, Max's left hand was already dyed with blood, and the intense pain even started attacking his brain, attacking his soul …
Clenching his teeth, Max's left hand was covered in a layer of crystal, and the crystal turned into the shape of a strange spoon. He dug out his left eye, but the eyeball didn't look like a human eye at all. It was a pure spherical crystal, and when the blood dripped from it, it looked like a warm crystal with a faint halo.
After digging out his left crystal eye, Max suddenly felt the boiling bloodline calm down a little, and it wasn't as intense as before …
It had been many years since Max had engaged in a fierce battle, and he had never experienced such a serious bloodline backlash. He had no idea that the backlash and boiling of his bloodline would be weakened after he dug out a crystal eye and transplanted it into his body …
Holding the crystal eye in his hand, Max was stunned. Lin Yun 'words kept echoing in his mind, and he didn't pay much attention to them at the time …
Damn it, how could I forget about this? Mafa Merlin has done a lot of research on bloodline transplants, so what he said at the beginning might not have been a casual remark, and it might have been true …
How could I have forgotten about this matter? Could it be that the two crystal eyes were a failed transplant for me? Could it be like what Mafa Merlin said, that one eye is actually better? Is it more suitable?
But he only took a glance, and didn't study it at all. How could he be sure that this was the best? Could it be that it wasn't just a casual guess, or a casual remark?
Max's mind was in a mess as he held onto a crystal eye in his hand. His bloodline had stabilized slightly, and it had become slightly easier for him to maintain the crystal screen. However, he still couldn't reach the minimum time limit.
After two minutes, a complicated expression appeared on Max's face. He clenched his teeth and used that spoon-shaped crystal to ruthlessly dig out the transplanted crystal eye in his right eye socket.
In an instant, only two bloody black holes were left in Max's eye sockets. The two crystal eyes floated in front of him, flickering with a halo that slowly reached the same frequency, as if there was a very deep connection between the two.
Heaven Rank powerhouses didn't only rely on their eyes to see things. Mages relied more on their own mana, and as a 5th Rank Heaven Mage, even if he didn't have an eye, it wouldn't have much of an effect.
Feeling the resonance between the two crystal eyes, Max had a complicated expression. He dug out the second crystal eye, and the power of his bloodline weakened a bit, but the stability increased.
After remaining silent for a few seconds, Max clenched his teeth and a mass of mana floated above his palm, wrapping around the two Crystal Eyes at the same time. The mana and the power of his bloodline allowed the two Crystal Eyes to collide. He wasn't worried that they would shatter, nor were there any unexpected changes.
The two crystal eyes seemed to have melted and fused with each other. He didn't even need to control them, he only needed to use mana as a hotbed and bloodline power as a primer for the two crystal eyes to complete the fusion on their own.
It was surprisingly easy. In less than half a minute, the two crystal eyes disappeared and were replaced by an eyeball that looked like a real eye.
It still had the texture of a crystal, but there was a difference between the sclera and the pupil. It looked like a hexagram, and the aura it emitted was even more stable.
At the sight of this new crystal eye, Max's expression kept changing. In the end, he placed the eyeball into his right eye socket.
In an instant, the power of the bloodline penetrated the eyeball and quickly circulated through Max's body. The originally unstable bloodline seemed to have calmed down in an instant, and the six-pointed star in the eyeball slowly rotated. As if by instinct, Max knew how to control the power of the bloodline and how to combine mana with the power of the bloodline.
In less than three seconds, Max's boiling bloodline thoroughly stabilized. At least compared to before, it could be said to be as good as new. There would be no problem for him to persist for at least half an hour, and he wouldn't feel any discomfort.
He was missing an eye, but the things he could see with the new eye were even clearer and more powerful than before. He could clearly see the flow of mana and the flow of air. The entire world seemed to have changed from black and white to colorful.
Max stood there with a sluggish expression. After half an hour, the raging mana storm outside had already reached the point where he could easily resist it, but Max still hadn't stopped supporting that crystal screen.
"Sir Max, the mana storm outside has already weakened a lot …"
A voice echoed in Max's ears, and Max seemed to wake up from a dream. He shook his arm and the crystal screen in front of him collapsed. The mana storm that blew in was no longer as powerful as before, and it was no different from an ordinary hurricane. That kind of power could be easily resisted by anyone present, they only needed to consume a little mana.
Max ignored the others and immediately condensed a crystal mirror in front of him. Looking at the figure reflected in the mirror and the eyes that resembled a hexagram, Max's hands began to tremble …
"It's that simple, it really is like this. Only one … Only one eye would be enough …"
Max mumbled to himself as if he was possessed. He couldn't accept this situation at all. Even if it had really become better, he had only thought of giving it a try in a moment of crisis. He hadn't expected it to bring such a powerful result.
