Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1208 Mysterious Consciousness

"This overwhelming black trend..."

Hongxiao's almond-shaped eyes widened. Although she had heard her aunt Chunhe Wang say that Gangxin cultivated all twelve extremes and was very powerful.

But seeing it with your own eyes is a different kind of shock.

The dark, all-encompassing trend has a real priority of 30 points!
The strongest rank is the sixth level of the Great Power.

At this moment, Hongxiao understood that Bai Pu did not choose to "instantly kill" these phase hunters, but rather to restrict their escape routes!
However, after the initial surprise, Hongxiao was still somewhat worried and reminded her, "Gangxin, although your overall priority is high, these monsters are all high-level creatures with priority judgment bonuses similar to those of a town! And you also said that they traverse space by utilizing the special terrain of this place..."

Before Hongxiao could finish speaking, her full meaning was that Bai Pu's 30-point priority advantage was probably insufficient to suppress the spatial distortion of the second fold region of the Void Fold.

After all, although Hongxiao is only a third-rank official, she is a domain lord. When she fully utilizes her domain control, her priority value is 26+5=31, which is stronger than Baipu's.

Bai Pu shook his head slightly and said telepathically, "Don't worry."

Four totems lit up beside Bai Pu.

The Vermilion Bird totem spews out fire and light energy, the Black Tortoise totem spews out dark energy, and the White Tiger totem spews out white ice energy.

Ice and fire are opposites, light and darkness are opposites, and these four opposing attributes are combined!
A quadrupedal explosion!

Bai Pu's "All Things Trend" has surged 3 points in priority, reaching a high of 33 points.

With a priority of 33 points, Bai Pu was able to reach the "phase jellyfish" group that served as the background. He was very careful to control the coverage of the Myriad Phenomena and did not touch those giant jellyfish at all.

Within the area covered by the Great Power of All Things, those Phase Hunters felt as if they were carrying an immense burden, their movement speed was greatly reduced, and the damage they dealt to Bai Pu was also significantly decreased.

"Hmm... It's still a bit strenuous to unleash the Four Extremes Burst. It seems I need to prioritize improving the progress of the laws of space and force to make the overall situation more stable."

The thought flashed through Bai Pu's mind, and then he thrust out his gun.

With a single shot, he killed the half-crippled Warrior-level Phase Hunter. The spear tip pierced its body, shattering its corpse into pieces.

The other phase hunters let out sharp hisses, their long centipede bodies slithering around and tearing at Bai Pu from all directions, while spheres of void energy bombarded him.

Bai Pu chose to eat it all.

He currently has a true priority of 33 points, completely overwhelming these phase hunters.

The damage dealt to Bai Pu by Warrior-level and Enhanced Warrior-level monsters is naturally reduced by more than 70%, meaning that even two Lord-level monsters can still maintain 50% of the damage.

This still takes into account their level 1 suppression of Bai Pu.

In contrast, Bai Pu unleashed his Panlong stance, his spear dancing like pear blossoms and drifting like auspicious snow, utterly annihilating the centipede horde and sending them fleeing in disarray, their blood raining down!
The 300-point attack speed bonus from Panlong Shi, the speed restriction on enemies from Wanxiang Dashi, the continuous life drain effect of Wanxiang Dashi, and the breaking of Phase Hunter's passive visual deception...

All of these factors ensured Bai Pu's attack accuracy.

For a monster like Bai Pu, whose strength rating exceeds 1700 points and whose base attack power easily surpasses 2000, the visual effect after an attack hits is truly astonishing.

One of the Lord-level Phase Hunters was pierced by a spear. The powerful force surged through its body, causing it to stiffen for a considerable period. The high attack power combined with the sharpness of the Doomsday Spear resulted in its body being pierced through. Its entire centipede-shaped body stiffened as if it had been electrocuted.

Ignoring the attacks from the other phase hunters, Bai Pu gently twitched his spear and pulled it back. With a sweep of the spear shaft, an immense force, accompanied by wind pressure, surged forth.

The unfortunate Lord-level Phase Hunter was helplessly tossed about by the immense wind pressure, its limbs unable to open, and its compound eyes barely able to "open." Then, its entire body was blasted away, the sound of bones cracking echoing one after another.

This Lord-level Phase Hunter wanted to escape by opening a hole, but under the overwhelming suppression of Bai Pu's 33-point priority, the distorted space of the small spatial folds here seemed to have lost its effectiveness.

The Lord-level Phase Hunter frantically tried to escape, but it was all in vain; it had no chance of getting out.

"So...so awesome."

Hongxiao was shocked. She finally understood why her aunt, who was a prince, valued Bai Pu so much. She not only treated Bai Pu as a brother, but also went to great lengths to send her niece to the front lines and make her Bai Pu's close follower.

This Bai Pu is already so powerful at the Great Power Master realm. Once he accumulates enough power and breaks through to the Domain Master realm, he will probably become a "prospective King" directly!

According to Gaia Group's default rules, a Domain Lord who has just broken through to level 17 cannot be directly promoted to True Person or King. They must reach at least level 18 and the eighth level of True Meaning before they will be considered for promotion.

A level 17, second-grade domain lord, if strong enough, can serve as a "prospective true immortal".

A level 17 first-grade domain lord, whose energy strength has reached the king level, can be considered as a "prospective king"!
Hongxiao was overwhelmed with emotion; she now understood her aunt's good intentions.

—Steel Core is truly an excellent stock with great potential!

Of course, Hongxiao was also a battle-hardened evolved being, and the shock to her mind did not affect her battle.

After Bai Pu attracted most of the Phase Hunters' attacks and was able to limit the Phase Hunters' spatial teleportation abilities, she quickly joined the battle.

A bluish-green flame slashed out from behind, leaving a deep black flame mark on the Lord-level Phase Hunter.

Bai Pu charged forward, unleashing the sharp edge of his Doomsday Spear.

With a single shot, the Lord-level Phase Hunter was cleaved in two, its countless limbs tumbling helplessly before crashing to the ground.
-
341340! (Critical Hit)

Seeing these terrifying damage numbers, Hongxiao's eyes twitched violently.

She is one level higher than Bai Pu, and is a key threshold for becoming a powerful ruler and a domain lord. She possesses legendary combat expertise, a damage multiplier of the seventh level, and has also cultivated a skill that increases armor penetration by 40%.

However, the actual damage dealt by the Flame Blade was only slightly over 12, far less than Bai Pu's critical hit that instantly killed a high-level lord.

How can the difference be so big?

Bai Pu reached out and, using his energy senses, extracted a colorless crystal from the corpse of the Lord-level Phase Hunter.

After acquiring an Eye of Insight and using it, a notification appeared:
[Phase Crystal: A rare treasure of intermediate-level grotto-heavens, used to increase the energy gathering limit of intermediate-level grotto-heavens by 25 points.]

Bai Pu put it away and then began slaughtering the remaining Phase Hunters.

Another Lord-level Phase Hunter also dropped a Phase Crystal, which can increase the energy limit of a mid-level cave by 22 points.

However, other phase hunters were not so generous. Those phase hunters who were upgraded to warrior level only dropped "small phase crystals", which are low-level rare treasures that can increase the energy limit of a low-level cave by 3 to 10 points.

As for the Warrior-level Phase Hunter, it didn't drop any rare treasures at all.

However, Hongxiao managed to collect a small amount of valuable flesh from the corpse of the Phase Hunter. It consisted of long tendons that emitted a rich aura of psionic particles.

"The precious meat containing spatial energy fluctuations should be similar to the 'Void Crystal Fish Roe' that the 'Boundless Prince' served at the banquet. Both are rare ingredients produced by the Prince Star."

Bai Pu used the Eye of Insight again and received the message "Centipede Meat Tendon". Consuming it can increase the casting speed of spatial skills by 30% and reduce the damage of spatial skills by 30%.

In terms of rarity, these phase hunters are very difficult to kill, and the Heavenly Centipede Meat Tendon should be of a higher grade than the Empty Crystal Fish Roe.

Bai Pu didn't pay much attention to these things.

He deliberately let several Warrior-level Phase Hunters escape.

Judging from the behavior patterns of the Phase Hunters, these Void Beasts seem to possess a certain level of intelligence and a sense of community. By releasing these weak Phase Hunters, Bai Pu can serve as a warning, letting them spread his fearsome reputation. This will deter many Phase Hunters from daring to provoke Bai Pu, saving him a lot of trouble.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. This means that the next phase hunter who dares to come will at least be at the level of a high-level enhanced lord.

Given the intensity of the psionic particles in the Void Fold, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a Star King could emerge from there.

Have you heard any strange noises?

After the battle, Hongxiao asked Baipu.

“Yes, it’s like a strange whisper,” Bai Pu said.

“This S-class dangerous area is a bit strange. Should we not go any further?” Hongxiao hesitated. “How about we settle down in the outer area of ​​this second fold?”

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Why don't you stay here for now, and I'll go deeper into the area to explore?" Bai Pu said.

Hongxiao quickly shook her head: "I want to go with you."

So, Bai Pu continued on his way with Hongxiao.

After reaching the third small fold on the outer edge, the red silk showed some abnormalities.

She stopped warning Bai Pu about the danger ahead, her eyes somewhat unfocused, and she just kept flying forward, as if something ahead was attracting her.

Bai Pu was the same, his eyes fixed on the magnificent clouds in front of him—that is, a group of giant, colorful jellyfish.

Those giant jellyfish were more than ten times larger than the jellyfish outside the first fold.

There seemed to be whispers, constantly ringing in my ears.

In Bai Pu's perception, the colorful giant jellyfish swarm ahead, which should be considered extremely dangerous creatures according to common sense, felt incredibly safe, even somewhat welcoming.

Clearly, this is a form of mental suggestion, originating from a powerful consciousness!
boom!
Suddenly, a burst of magical sand exploded on Bai Pu's shoulder. The loud noise and pain pulled Bai Pu's consciousness back to reality.

"Amazing."

Bai Pu, having regained consciousness, breathed a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Hongxiao, who was still flying forward, reached out and pulled her back.

Hongxiao's eyes still held a blank look, clearly not yet awakened from the hypnotic state of mental suggestion.

She was more deeply immersed in it than Bai Pu.

Bai Pu had no choice but to inflict damage, squeezing Hongxiao's palm hard, his fingertips drawing a sharp gust of wind that slashed Hongxiao's palm.

After being injured, Hongxiao cried out in pain.

She looked blankly at Bai Pu, her unfocused eyes gradually regaining their focus.

"This is... the third fold zone. Am I being hypnotized by something?"

Bai Pu nodded slightly: "Actually, we were both hypnotized... we're just temporarily awake now. If you listen carefully, the mysterious whispering can still be heard."

Hongxiao's face turned pale: "That mysterious consciousness that hypnotized us, leading us to the central region of the void folds... is it going to devour us?"

"Let's put these things aside for now. I'll gladly accept the invitation when the opportunity arises in the future."

Bai Pu looked at the central area of ​​the void folds. The seven large folds, along with the magnificent and twisted colorful jellyfish, resembled the face of a demon wearing a painted mask, emitting a mocking laugh from the abyss.

The strange whispers continued; this mental suggestion was happening slowly, and even with Hongxiao's strength, she could only hold out for about fifteen minutes. Baipu, being stronger, could hold out for about half an hour.

Bai Pu is currently only a master of the power structure. Although he has skills to protect his mind, such as the Demon Soul skill attached to his equipment and the purification effect attached to the Myriad Manifestations Qi, these are not high priority.

Unless he forcibly unleashes the Four Extremes Burst, engaging in a direct confrontation with 33 points of true priority, he might have a slight chance of winning. However, the Four Extremes Burst is unsustainable and cannot sustain Bai Pu's long-term resistance against mental suggestion.

When Bai Pu is promoted to Domain Lord, he will definitely want to explore the central area of ​​the Void Folds in depth.

For the time being, let's temporarily place the Misty Palace in the small third fold zone on the outskirts.

Bai Pu took out the Key to the Cave Heaven. The small jade seal emitted a faint light, and in Bai Pu's vision, flowing light veins and stars of various sizes reappeared.

Although the small third fold is still an outer region, the intensity of the spatial energy nodes has doubled compared to the second fold, and the star points that appear are as large as the moon.

Bai Pu chose one of the brightest nodes, threw the Key to the Cave Heaven over it, and infused it with fighting spirit energy.

With a loud boom, the illusory palace of the Misty Palace flashed, then disappeared, transforming into a singularity.

This is the characteristic of a grotto-heaven: it contains Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed. Unless one has the means to find and break into the grotto-heaven, or is invited by the grotto-heaven's master, one cannot find it even if it is within reach.

Bai Pu could already sense the connection between himself and the Misty Palace, and immediately took a step forward. A glowing portal appeared in the void, taking Bai Pu and Hong Xiao into it.

"Wow……"

Hongxiao let out a comfortable sigh of relief.

The Misty Palace Cave Heaven is similar in architectural style to what you see in the miniature map, but actually stepping inside and seeing the cloud-shrouded palaces and feeling the soft yet solid cloud ground under your feet is a completely different experience, which can be described as "being there in person".

This grotto-heaven has an energy gathering limit of 94, a grotto-heaven space with a radius of thirty miles, and possesses both wind and space attributes.

The existing buildings of the Misty Palace are divided into three palaces: front, middle and rear.

Bai Pu and Hong Xiao are only two people, so they don't need much living space and can arrange it freely.

Bai Pu planned to use the front hall for receiving guests, the middle hall for alchemy, weapon crafting, study, and other functional areas, and the rear hall for living, resting, meditation, and cultivation.

The front hall has an altar, surrounded by two towering round pillars that pierce the sky; these are called "Huabiao". One of the Huabiao has cloud patterns carved on its surface, representing the attribute of "wind"; the other Huabiao has various cubes carved on its surface, representing the attribute of "space".

According to the information obtained from the Key to the Grotto, Bai Pu can offer rare treasures from the Grotto at the altar to increase the variety of attributes of the Grotto.

He can also use the rare treasures from the cave on the ornamental column to increase the energy gathering limit of that attribute.

"It turns out that the energy gathering limit of the cave is calculated separately according to the attribute... Currently, the upper limit of the wind attribute is 93, the upper limit of the space attribute is 95, and the average value is 94."

Bai Pu used the "small phase crystal" dropped by the phase hunter on the spatial altar. As for the two mid-level rare "phase crystals," it would be too wasteful to use them on a lower-level cave heaven, so Bai Pu temporarily stored them away.

The upper limit of spatial attribute energy gathering has been rising steadily, and it quickly reached 117.

However, the overall energy gathering limit of the Misty Palace Cave Heaven at this time is only 105 because it is lowered by the wind attribute.

"No wonder people prefer single-attribute grotto-heavens. For dual-attribute grotto-heavens, both attributes must be improved, otherwise the lower attribute will drag down the value of the higher attribute. So I need to have the attributes of all twelve constellations..."

Bai Pu immediately scratched his head.
