The deeper one went into the Crystal Labyrinth, the more complicated it became.
The entire white dwarf star was like a huge diamond beehive. Every grid was once a bustling town or village. Some had long been excavated, and some still retained relatively complete ruins.
At this time, Xu Zhi had the bloodline inheritance. The repulsive pressure was instantly eliminated. What he had to resist was the increasingly dense elemental sea and electromagnetic storms here.
All the way deep.
"The ruins are becoming more and more complete … It's already very difficult for ordinary rank nine to reach here … I have to say, the civilization mechanism of elemental creatures is very good at protecting their ruins."
The Elemental Guardian Gods of these tombs were born on the corpses of the tombs.
Although they did not have much intelligence and wisdom, like elemental creatures, they had an endless source of power. You could not outlast them at all, and instead, they could exhaust you to death!
Xu Zhi was looking at a tomb in a crystal city.
"Even if your physical strength is amazing, and you can exhaust the guardian god of this city's tomb to death, causing it to vanish into thin air …
You won't get anything, because the guardian god has long drained the remains of the entire tomb, the Elemental Heart, and broken it … The tomb is already empty. "
This was the disgusting and perfect mechanism of guarding a tomb.
It was like fighting someone who cultivated the "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art". Even if you exhausted the opponent to death, you would find that you would not get anything from the remains of the opponent, and instead, you would be in a mess.
Therefore, to break a tomb, you could not use brute force to fight the Elemental Guardian God.
You could only use tricks, or in other words, completely crush them with strength, and instantly launch an assassination attack, attacking the opponent's weakness, and cutting off the opponent's energy source.
"Therefore, in this ruin, a very rare scene appeared. Along the way, the tombs of various sizes were all relatively well preserved, and the grave goods and corpses were all preserved …
They would only choose the weak tombs to attack. If they did not have the strength to break through a rank nine guardian god of the same level, they would not use brute force … Instead, they would go deeper and search for the tombs of relatively weak elemental villages. "
Xu Zhi looked at the tombs of various sizes.
Some powerful and prosperous city cemeteries, due to their unbreakable nature, most of the Elemental Race would hide in the cemeteries, struggling at death's door, forming a cemetery civilization.
As for the existence of others, if they broke through the tombs, they might encounter the Lost Clan hiding inside.
Xu Zhi wandered all the way and finally stopped. He looked at an extremely prosperous super city. It could be said to be the biggest city he had seen so far.
"This should be a good relic town. It should be very prosperous inside … If the tomb is strong and the guardian is strong, there should be many elemental survivors living inside." Xu Zhi took a step forward.
Whoosh.
He led the group of newborn and young fellows directly into the tomb.
The crystal tomb was extremely luxurious, sparkling and translucent.
Transparent elemental creatures roamed around the caves.
One of the tall and strong elemental creatures couldn't help but have a slight change in expression as he sensed something. "Other elemental kin have come in. Didn't I tell them not to enter? We've already reached our limit. "
They did not suspect that it was an outsider who had entered.
Because the Elemental Guardian of the tomb, Akaz, did not respond at all.
"There's nothing we can do. Recently, there have been more and more evil gravediggers outside … More and more tombs have been destroyed. There are too many refugees running around …" Next to him, a flame giant holding an elemental steel fork said, "I'll go take a look …"
He had just stepped forward.
But a group of strangely shaped creatures walked in.
The leader was actually a gentle human youth. He was fifteen or sixteen years old and had a handsome appearance. He had red lips and white teeth. Dressed in a classic robe, he looked like a sunny fairytale youth who had walked out of a library.
"External enemies!"
"They're living people!"
The entire elemental cave was in chaos.
Screams and wails rang out incessantly.
They were too weak. They only had one gene. Which of the existences that could enter was not a great being who surpassed the laws of the universe? Breaking through the guardian meant that they would die without a doubt.
"No … they exude the same aura as us. They're of our race …" At this moment, the tall elemental creature in the lead said, "At the same time, there's no need to run. No matter what, if we really die, no one can escape."
Same race?
They stopped in their tracks.
The same aura, this was the same race. There was no mistake …
However, why was his form completely different from theirs?
Moreover, this creature in front of them was clearly an ordinary humanoid flesh and blood lifeform. It had flesh and blood. How could it be their own race!?
"Who exactly are you!?" The leader asked.
"Are you the leader of this race?" Xu Zhi smiled and looked at them.
"Yes." A strong elemental flame lifeform walked out and said respectfully, "Sir, who are you? Where did you come from … what kind of creature are you?"
"My name is Ji …" Xu Zhi smiled lightly and said, "As for what kind of creature I am? Do you see the group of children behind me? That's the best explanation. "
Only then did they look at the group of creatures behind them.
They had the same aura as them, and their bodies were also covered in energy flames of various colors.
However, their eggshells were not crystals or diamonds, but a mass of flesh and blood!
"Their eggshells?"
"What exactly is this?"
"Flesh and blood, how is this possible!?"
…
These weak survivors were all flabbergasted. They moved about in the cave, bustling with noise and shouting. They were not organized at all.
The outside world liked to call the elemental crystal diamonds that they lived in elemental cores, but they preferred to call them eggshells.
Because they were like animals born from "eggs."
Elemental creatures would lay eggs in the crystal diamonds of the "eggshells."
Their elemental babies would be born in the "eggshells," grow up, and live on the eggshells until they became gods. Only then could they break out of the eggshells and truly leave the eggshells.
However, after most elemental creatures grew up, they would still keep their eggshells. With a high degree of compatibility, they would use it as a container to store energy and as a portable spiritual artifact for life.
In their battles, as long as they stored enough energy, they would be unlimited, and the container they stored energy in was the "eggshell."
"How could your eggshells be a mass of flesh and blood … then wouldn't you be unable to leave the eggshell for the rest of your life? Wouldn't you be half a flesh and blood creature?" The elemental leader was confused and frightened.
Mutation!
A word popped up in their minds.
After all, the elemental civilization had existed for too long.
Especially after their decline, they had experienced countless years in the ruins. Perhaps, in order to survive, one of their branches had undergone some kind of unimaginable mutation and turned part of their flesh and blood into a living being. It was not impossible …
Because the other party also had the inherited memory of their race. They were of the same race and had the same ancestor … there was no doubt about this.
"We are related by blood. Naturally, we are related by blood …" Ji Ye smiled gently.
"It's just that we have left this race for too long and wandered in the outside world for countless years … it's rare for us to return. I didn't expect that you would still be so down and out. It's really sad."
"You, are traitors! Betraying the glory of our race! You are no longer a pure elemental race. "
At this time, a young elemental creature next to him roared, "You have flesh and blood, which means … you can never leave your eggshells!
You will keep this flesh and blood flaw that symbolizes shame for the rest of your life!
You are no longer purely immune to physical attacks!
You have a physical body, and you will suffer from targeted physical attacks. That flesh and blood core is your fatal weakness! "
"Oh?"
Xu Zhi looked at this young elemental creature.
"Al!" The face of the leader next to him darkened. "Don't say another word."
"You are already crippled!"
This elemental creature named Al was still roaring and scolding, "At the same time, you have flesh and blood. You no longer have the heaven-defying characteristic of elemental creatures — unlimited energy conversion. You are no different from ordinary flesh and blood creatures. Your physical strength is limited …
You've become despicable, you've become inferior! You are no different from ordinary flesh and blood creatures … In fact, you are even weaker than ordinary flesh and blood creatures! "
The young man roared and cried, elemental tears flowing down continuously. "Sob sob sob, you are too despicable. You have no faith at all. You have lost the glory of our ancestors …"
"Hold him down for me! Hold that bastard down! "
At the side, the elemental leader of this settlement was completely enraged.
"You brat, it's fine if you cause trouble normally!"
"You are still talking nonsense now?!"
"You are asking for a beating!"
In an instant, several elemental creatures grabbed his eggshell crystal, held him down, and dragged him out.
"Sorry …"
The elemental leader looked nervous. "That guy has always been a thorn in our camp."
"It's okay." Xu Zhi watched quietly as the elemental youth was dragged away and locked up in the cave. "He's right. He's a very smart little fellow … A half-elemental creature that has lost all the advantages of being an elemental being, such as immunity to physical attacks and the ability to transform unlimited energy …"
This was the truth.
In the beginning, the half-elemental creatures represented by the phoenix did not have the heaven-defying characteristics of such pure elemental creatures.
With a flesh and blood core?
Then, there must be a physical flaw.
Lost the powerful advantage of elemental creatures, super physical immunity.
With a flesh and blood core?
It must go through the process of absorbing elements — flesh and blood main body — energy outer body … This way, it would lose the unlimited energy conversion speed of one step.
Lost the second advantage of elemental creatures: unlimited energy conversion.
Pure elemental creatures and half-elemental creatures seemed to have a one-word difference, but they were two completely different species. They did not have the two heaven-defying advantages of elemental creatures!
"May I ask, what realm are you in now?"
This elemental leader looked excited.
And the elemental survivors beside him were also extremely excited, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw!
They also knew that turning into flesh and blood meant losing their glory.
They would also lose the most powerful characteristics of the Transcendent bloodline system and become an extremely ordinary flesh and blood race of the universe!
Their most powerful characteristics of "physical immunity" and "energy conversion" would be lost. But now, in the face of life and death, they could not care less …
Even if it was a weak and ordinary Transcendent race of the universe, rather than slowly waiting for death, it was better than completely waiting for a slow death and the extinction of their race!
And they would no longer have the chance to rise like their ancestors.
How did their ancestors rise to power?
Their elemental ancestors were naturally genes. In the beginning, they could not find any genes to fuse with. After all, the strong had to constantly fuse with genes. Only with three genes could they be gods.
Therefore, the ancestors of the Elemental Race at that time were unable to become extraordinary. They first took the path of technology and developed spaceships. They traveled to various places, including White Dwarfs and planets with high electromagnetic fields, in order to find similar Elemental Races in the universe.
They were also very lucky.
After generations and hundreds of thousands of years, they finally found the first batch of elemental life. It took another hundreds of thousands of years before they found the second type of elemental life …
After all, the number of elemental life was too small!
Carbon-based flesh and blood life was the easiest life to form. After all, carbon was a very common substance and accounted for 98% of life. What about them?
0.01% was even lower.
Their rise was built on the efforts of generations of their people over millions of years. They were also very lucky to have escaped countless disasters. Because they lived on a white dwarf star, they had to live in hiding. Ordinary civilizations would not have come to such a dangerous place …
After countless years, they found the fourth elemental civilization.
At that time, they completely rose!
Four genes meant that they could break through to level 9 elemental.
Their advantages were completely revealed. They belonged to the late-stage Transcendent system, incomparably heaven-defying and powerful. After accumulating the efforts of countless generations, they became dragons with extremely terrifying heaven-defying combat power, sweeping through everything and heading towards their peak.
In the end, they stepped into the level 10 civilization …
Reaching the peak of the universe, the end of the Great Dao!
In the later stages, they were still constantly collecting elemental civilizations, and there were a total of seven.
This was the history of their development. However, at this time, they could no longer rise like their ancestors.
Although they were survivors in the ruins and had struggled for decades in the tombs, this place was also a cage. There was no chance for them to go outside and grow again …
A group of people guarded outside the ruins, trapping them to death.
There was no more chance …
Our glory has been completely lost …
The Elemental Transcendent Empire has long been finished!
They looked at each other. The feeling of glory and faith collapsing was very hopeless.
Especially now, seeing their own race degenerate to such an extent. In order to survive, they had become ordinary flesh and blood creatures … losing their strongest characteristic.
This was equivalent to cutting off the faith of their civilization! They had abandoned the faith of their race! That kind of sadness and despair, they felt the same as that young Al …
However, they could not show it.
Because this new race in front of them was for the continuation of their race.
"Sigh, that fellow Al doesn't even know that we have no other way …" The leader sighed. If there was a choice, who would give up their race's characteristic?
Giving up their dreams!
They had to accept the cruel reality!
Al, this was the world of adult elemental creatures.
"There are no dreams in the world of adult elemental creatures." The leader looked at the struggling young man in the cage and sighed, as if he had aged more than ten years.
At this moment, Xu Zhi smiled faintly and said, "Don't lock that little fellow up. Let him come out and see what else he has to say …"
"But …"
The elemental leader hesitated and said, "He is too young, too idealistic …"
"Don't worry, let him out. If he wants to talk to me about his dreams, I will talk to him about my dreams."
Soon, the young man was released. He looked at the mysterious "Ji" in front of him with a look of resentment.
"All things are balanced … elemental creatures are powerful, but they have lost too much. They are too singular and cannot be considered truly powerful." Xu Zhi smiled.
Our elemental race cannot be considered truly powerful?
As soon as he said this, all the elemental creatures had a strange look on their faces.
Looking at this race in front of them, their initial good impression was gradually replaced by a trace of resentment. Then you people abandoned our heaven-defying talents and reduced to such ordinary, weak flesh and blood creatures. Is that powerful?
That was too ridiculous.
