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

Chapter 1219 White Steel Forest
The outer edge of the pure white mountain range is a forest of white steel.

A group of Gaia princes, along with their carefully selected powerful domain lord-level followers, advanced across the White Steel Forest.

The sky above the perilous Pure White Mountain Range carries a heavy, oppressive pressure. To fly requires an enormous amount of extra energy, making it a losing proposition for anyone exploring this dangerous place.

Moreover, flying in the air is not safe. There is a kind of aerial monster in the Pure White Mountains called the "White Feather Iron Eagle". It is a flying beast with feathers and bones that are almost entirely made of white iron. It is extremely ferocious.

Although advancing from the ground takes longer, it avoids aerial combat with the White Feather Iron Eagles, making it easier to preserve strength.

This time, almost all of the Gaia princes participated in the expedition within the small circle formed by Feng Shenxiu and his two companions.

Their goal wasn't to collect lower-level rare treasures on the outskirts.

We need to acquire at least a few mid-level rare treasures to upgrade the Heavenly Mirror Palace Cave Heaven to mid-level!

As long as this path is feasible, this small group will continue to travel to various dangerous places to obtain other intermediate-level rare treasures and upgrade the other Gaia princes' grottoes to intermediate level as well.

The group advanced through the steel forest.

The white steel beech trees we saw along the way all looked like they were cast in steel; a gentle tap on the trunk produced a metallic, resonant sound.

The entire ground resembled white steel, reflecting a dazzling light.

This is the "photo-eroded steel rock" unique to the Pure White Mountains; the main rocks of the entire Pure White Mountains are of this type.

"Be careful, use energy to protect your eyes, or you'll go blind. The blinding power of Light-Eating Steel Rock is a hundred times more potent than snow blindness," Feng Shenxiu warned.

Bai Pu channeled his myriad-elemental energy into his eyes, forming a protective membrane. His eyes shimmered with black light particles, and the colors within his field of vision were dark, yet remarkably clear.

The other Gaia princes were the same; various energies formed eye-protecting films of different base colors.

Compared to Bai Pu, their vision was still not very clear, but it was enough to see the outlines of roads and objects, which was sufficient.

Even a typical powerful figure, capable of surviving in the White Steel Forest, would only see a blinding white expanse, unable to distinguish roads or the locations of spawning monsters.

Susu!

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound rang out.

Almost as soon as the sound of arrows cutting through the air rang out, they arrived! The speed of the arrows was incredibly fast, and several princes of Gaia were hit on the spot.

Fortunately, they were all on high alert and maintained their own shields. These arrows only pierced their shields and did not cause any effective damage.

"Northwest! Forty-five degrees!"

Feng Shenxiu loudly announced the time.

The Boundless Prince stretched out his arm and opened his palm. A cone-shaped spatial seal enveloped the direction Feng Shenxiu had indicated.

Boom boom boom!
With his arms bulging like a heavy tank, Jinjiao smashed through dozens of white steel beech trees and charged to the attackers!

Without the cover of the spruce beech trees, the true faces of the attackers were revealed.

These are monsters with human bodies and deer legs. Their upper bodies are human and their lower bodies are deer. Each of them has a shiny crystal embedded in its chest and between its eyebrows.

Bai Pu used the Eye of Insight.

These monsters with human bodies and deer legs are called "Prism Rangers," and they are the template for level 17 warriors and enhanced warriors, of the agility type.

Their area-of-effect ability is called "bent light field," which allows them to distort light with their arrows, thereby affecting the flow of time.

The specific effect is that the arrow trajectory speed of the Prism Ranger is doubled, while the trajectory speed of ranged attacks and projectiles against the Prism Ranger is halved!

This ability also affects the final damage.

The Prism Ranger's projectile velocity is doubled, which increases the arrow's kinetic energy and damage by 50%, and it's an independent damage increase.

Ranged attacks from Prism Rangers will be reduced by half due to the projectile velocity being halved.

"Time-based abilities?"

Bai Pu was immediately envious. Time-based abilities are extremely rare, and it was such a waste for them to appear in a group of high-level warrior monsters.

Prince Bingyi launched ice spikes in succession, but the speed was reduced by the Curved Light Field, and the damage was greatly reduced.

"This monster is effective against ranged attacks, so let's go for melee."

After Bai Pu finished speaking, the Doomsday Spear appeared in his hand.

Anmie and Jinjiao quickly stopped Bai Pu.

"Boss Steelheart, do you still need to deal with these little monsters? Give the brothers a chance to show off."

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, pounced on the forest ranger.

Bai Pu also took this opportunity to check on the progress and skill level of his two former teammates.

The overwhelming darkness of annihilation has added a new attribute compared to when it was in the Genius Camp: it has the effect of psychological fear. The group of Light Prism Rangers hesitated in their attacks and found it difficult to lock onto their targets.

Although the Prism Ranger is a high-level monster with a priority judgment bonus similar to a town, the Dark Annihilation is currently at the first-grade level of true meaning, and its energy priority under the blessing of the King-level Purple Weapon is more than enough to make up for the 5 disadvantages in priority judgment.

With a hiss, Annihilation transformed into a shadow and pounced into the body of a Prism Ranger. The latter froze instantly, and energy clashes of light and darkness appeared on its body. Then, it aimed its bow and arrow at its teammate!

The other Prism Rangers, clearly not expecting their own comrades to betray them, rushed over to stop the traitor.

But just as they subdued the traitor, the light and dark energy on his body quickly receded.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged silently from behind the Prism Rangers—it was Annihilation. With a swift stroke of his short sword, he beheaded the Prism Ranger who had been subdued by his own kind!

Before the other Prism Rangers could retaliate in anger, heavy footsteps pounded the ground, and Emberhorn, enveloped in blood-red energy, charged forward, sending several Prism Rangers flying into the air!
To avoid a major conflict, Jinjiao did not activate his own power, but a fierce charging trajectory was still drawn beneath his feet.

Immediately afterwards, Jinjiao raised his right battle axe high, his muscles bulging, inexplicably reminiscent of gladiators in the ancient Roman Colosseum, his movements full of powerful masculine beauty.

boom!
With a single axe swing, Emberhorn severely wounded a Prism Ranger, and then raised his second axe to strike again!
One axe blow after another, like two bright rainbows, so fast that only afterimages remained in everyone's eyes.

After unleashing seven axe blows, Emberhorn finally exhausted his strength. Under his ferocious attack, three Prism Rangers perished.

At this moment, Annihilation also dealt with the last Prism Ranger and picked up all the rare treasures dropped by these Prism Rangers.

"Boss Steelheart, keep these rare treasures with you for now, we'll distribute them later!"

Annihilation did not keep all the benefits to itself; it demonstrated its stance through its actions.

These are all rare treasures from lower-level grottoes.

Bai Pu shook his head slightly: "This time it was Feng Shenxiu who organized the group, so let him keep it safe. We'll talk about the distribution after the exploration is over." Bai Pu had already seen the strength of Anmie and Jinjiao from their actions just now.

Annihilation transforms into a shadow and enters the opponent's body, allowing for a degree of control over the enemy's actions.

When it emerges again, it can inflict a vulnerability debuff on the target, weakening their defense, which is essential for a fatal blow.

As for Jinjiao, it was pure, hard power. He unleashed seven consecutive axe blows, and they were not feints. Each strike was delivered with full force and was incredibly powerful!

Each strike utilizes the rebound force of the previous strike, allowing for a quick retraction of the blade and minimizing the awkwardness of the recovery animation! This effect is remarkably similar to Bai Pu's Coiling Dragon Stance.

Clearly, this reflects a new level of understanding of the Law of Force by Emberhorn, resulting in improvements to his master-level combat expertise.

Both Annihilation and Emberhorn are significantly stronger than when they were on Red Luo Star.

"If the others have also improved their strength... this trip to the Pure White Mountains is really going to be interesting." Bai Pu thought to himself as he let Feng Shenxiu accept the rare treasures from the cave.

……

Class A dangerous area, with thunder and clouds at its extreme.

In the outer area, hidden within an inconspicuous cloud, lies a hidden paradise—the Qilin Pavilion.

In the Qilin Pavilion, there is a very special Gaia prince named "Tiangong," who is a cyborg with two electronic eyes that gleam with an eerie light.

The attendants under the Heavenly Crafts Prince, like him, had all undergone mechanization.

A message was sent to the Heavenly Crafts Prince's monitor by a personal attendant.

"Your Highness, Prince Guiling has accepted your invitation."

"Alright! Activate the teleportation permission and invite him over!"

The Prince of Tiangong was quite happy.

The attendant immediately followed up with a message: "In addition, Prince Shile and Prince Panshi have also sent you a request to communicate and discuss plans to counter Prince Gangxin."

The Heavenly Craftsman Prince waved his hand and said, "Those two? Hmm, their strength is passable. I remember there are also some Gaia Princes who are relatively weak. Please invite them in as well, and we'll have a gathering at the Qilin Pavilion Cave Heaven!"

Before long, more than a dozen Gaia princes arrived at the Qilin Pavilion.

The four Gaia princes at the head of the group, Tiangong, Guiling, Shile, and Panshi, all had somewhat strange appearances.

Prince Guiling was completely wrapped in bandages, making it impossible to tell his gender. He spoke entirely through telepathic communication, and his voice was hoarse and neutral, clearly indicating that he was disguising himself.

Prince Shile was a brown man with a dark red complexion and eyes that burned like embers.

Prince Rock is a member of the Rock Clan; his skin is like rock, and his face is as if carved by a knife and axe.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the main focus of our gathering today is how to cooperate in developing the dangerous resources of Prince Star."

Tiangong's electronic voice echoed within the Qilin Pavilion's grotto, "Originally, I planned to cultivate for six months to a year, waiting for some of us to advance to the Domain Lord level before considering this matter. However, an unforeseen event has forced us to accelerate the development plan..."

"Does His Highness Tiangong mean the steel core when he speaks of this change?" Prince Panshi asked.

Tiangong nodded: "That's right. Gangxin's strength is extraordinary. Just from his breakthrough to the fifth volume of the Source Energy True Scripture, we can see that."

"The fact that it was able to break through to the fifth volume in one fell swoop shows that the basic energy strength of the steel core is very high, at least at the high level of the enhanced lord, exceeding 1250 points."

Prince Pan Shi frowned and said, "But when you have a King-level Purple Weapon, the advantage of basic energy intensity will be overshadowed... The energy intensity that Steel Heart can exert is only that of a Two-Star King. There are quite a few of us who have Two-Star King-level Purple Weapons, so we are no less than him in this respect."

Tiangong shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate Steelheart's threat. He was in the Molten Core and managed to escape unscathed even when the BOSS went berserk. Do you have that kind of strength?"

Prince Pan Shi remained silent.

Shi Le's face darkened further.

At this moment, Prince Guiling spoke, his neutral voice ringing out:

Will Steelheart and his group enter the core area during their exploration of the Pure White Mountains?

Tiangong said in a deep voice, "I think so. They might even be able to obtain a batch of mid-level rare treasures in the core area."

"If we harvest a large number of rare treasures from the core area, it will inevitably cause the core area's BOSS to go berserk. Do you think Steelheart can lead the group to kill the Pure White Mountain BOSS and clear the Pure White Mountain?" Prince Zero continued.

"impossible."

"Absolutely impossible."

The dozen or so Gaia princes all shook their heads.

The core area bosses are all at the Demon Lord level, possessing immense power and divine abilities based on laws.

Given his current level as a powerful ruler, how could he possibly kill a demon lord with supernatural powers?

Totally impossible.

"Back on Red Luo Star, Steel Heart and his group were able to kill the Demon Lord Zhuofeng only because he was severely injured. His strength was probably only 20% or 30% of what it used to be. In the Pure White Mountains now, there is no one like Chunhe Wang who can severely injure a BOSS."

"I'd like to see if Steelheart can still lead so many people to escape alive after meeting the BOSS in the core area."

Someone said in a playful tone, "If a few people in his little circle were to fall, that would be interesting... We can take the opportunity to spread rumors that Steelheart is willing to use Prince Gaia's life as a consumable for the sake of a mid-level cave treasure!"

"Hehe, this is a good idea. It can greatly damage Steelheart's prestige, and his Gaia princes will also become suspicious of each other."

The Heavenly Crafts Prince realized that he had miscalculated.

These people are unwilling to face the threat posed by the steel heart.

The Heavenly Crafts Prince originally intended to use Steel Heart's threat to organize the princes to cooperate in exploring the core areas of various A-level dangerous places and plundering the rare treasures of intermediate-level caves, so as not to fall behind Steel Heart's small circle's progress.

But now it seems that everyone is somewhat unwilling.

The Prince of Heavenly Craftsmanship quickly adjusted his plans:
“Alright, I will continue to send people to gather information about the Steelheart team. I hope they suffer a crushing defeat in the Pure White Mountains, so we will have more time to cultivate.”

The princes all nodded in agreement.

Prince Tiangong then added, "But we can't just stand by and watch; we need to be prepared. We must cooperate to plunder the outer areas of each dangerous place as soon as possible, first raising everyone's cave heaven to the limit of 199, and gathering as much intelligence as possible about the core areas of each dangerous place... Your Highness Guiling, what do you think?"

Prince Guiling nodded: "Okay."

Prince Guiling holds a high position in the hearts of many Gaia princes because his strength is unfathomable. Even now, many people are still confused about which extreme he cultivates!
Without a doubt, Prince Guiling's strength was a level above that of the other princes present. Since he expressed his agreement, the others naturally had to give him face.
