I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

The numerous sixth-tier gene powerhouses present exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

Guan Gu, a powerful cultivator with the Dragon Elephant gene who had previously been quite wary of the Dragon Gate River overlord, the Water Ghost Grass, was the first to leap out, saying:

"Junior Sister Sun's special plant-type gene ability is indeed amazing. Not only can it be used for combat, but it can also open up paths through mountains and build bridges over rivers. Hahahaha, with Junior Sister Sun's methods, our chances of successfully reaching the mountain beast's lair will definitely increase by several times! I, Guan Gu, have never been convinced by anyone of the same life level, but now I have to admit that she is truly impressive!"

The other sixth-tier gene powerhouses also leaped onto the giant duckweed one after another, following behind Sun Lin, the plant-type gene powerhouse. In the blink of an eye, they had already leaped to the middle of the wide Dragon Gate River.

Lin Xuankong followed behind the group, leaping continuously, feeling the immense buoyancy of the giant duckweed beneath his feet with each landing, and couldn't help but secretly admire it:

This plant-type gene powerhouse, Sun Lin, possesses a unique genetic ability that allows plant seeds to grow at an astonishing speed, with a growth rate comparable to that of an ordinary duckweed over six months! Such a special genetic ability is indeed quite miraculous, similar to those high-level earth immortals in the immortal realm who have mastered wood-type immortal arts!
This made crossing the river by stepping on these giant floating plants much easier! Even if it wasn't as quick as summoning cloud beasts or freezing the river, it saved the team the trouble of taking a detour!
It's just unknown whether Sun Lin, this plant-based genetic powerhouse, has any other special genetic abilities that have other effects!

However, regardless of the circumstances, the strength of Sun Lin, this plant-type gene powerhouse, is indeed not to be underestimated!

With this thought in mind, Lin Xuankong followed the many gene experts, leaping across the middle of the river and quickly approaching the riverbank on the other side.

The riverbank where they set off at this moment,

In the middle of a dense forest, a figure appeared, none other than Wu Yong, a top-tier sixth-level expert from Yunqin Kingdom, dressed in a white robe.

This infamous sixth-tier expert, who had previously failed to subdue Lin Xuankong despite his full strength, stared intently at Lin Xuankong and his group leaping through the river, muttering under his breath:
"Interesting. So many of the well-known sixth-order gene powerhouses from Yun Song Kingdom have come!"
Sun Lin, a plant-type gene powerhouse; Zhang Yun, one of Zhao Jiulin's most prized disciples; Huang Liang, an earth-type gene powerhouse; and Guan Gu and Tian Guang, dragon-elephant gene powerhouses—heh heh, even I would have to back down if I faced such a lineup! Just the powerful methods possessed by Sun Lin, the plant-type gene powerhouse, or Huang Liang, the earth-type gene powerhouse, would probably be enough to contend with me for a while!
It's just a mystery what treasure such a luxurious lineup, with so many sixth-tier gene powerhouses from the Yun Song Kingdom, gathered deep in the Qiushan Mountains for.
What's the deal with the climbing beast's lair? Could it be related to a fifth-tier source crystal? The only treasure that could bring together so many sixth-tier gene powerhouses, especially some of the most renowned experts from the Yun Song Kingdom, is probably a fifth-tier source crystal!

Muttering a few words to himself, Wu Yong, the white-robed expert from Yunqin Kingdom, turned his gaze to Lin Xuankong. "Damn it, how did this disgusting seventh-tier top-level ice-type gene warrior end up with this group of guys? Does he even deserve to be called one? He's just a mere seventh-tier gene warrior. If I hadn't had so few source energy crystals on hand that day, I could definitely have taken his head!"

However, since this disgusting seventh-tier top-tier ice-type gene warrior has mixed up with these guys from Yun Song Kingdom, killing him in the Qiushan Mountains will probably not be an easy task, unless…

After thinking about it for a moment,
Wu Yong, the white-robed expert from Yunqin Kingdom, wiped the blood from his hands, took out the satellite phone from his pocket, and sent out a message.

"Such a powerful and luxurious team of sixth-tier gene warriors from the Yun Song Kingdom, if I, Wu Yong in white robes, were to go alone, I would probably run into some trouble and wouldn't gain any advantage. However, since I've discovered them, then you can forget about taking them all for yourselves, hmph!"

After sending the message using his satellite phone, Wu Yong, the white-robed powerhouse from Yunqin Kingdom, glanced once more at the numerous gene-enhancing experts who were approaching the opposite bank. His eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of killing intent, before he turned and walked into the dense forest.

Not long after Wu Yong, the white-robed man from Yunqin Kingdom, left, a thick branch on a nearby giant tree began to wriggle slightly, revealing a human figure.

This person, who had just disguised himself as a large tree branch, clearly possessed some extremely powerful special ability. Even a top-tier sixth-order life level expert like Wu Yong in white robes couldn't detect him when he was disguised as a tree branch.

He first glanced deeply in the direction where Lin Xuankong, Sun Lin, Han Liu, and the others had left, then turned to look in the direction where Wu Yong in white robes had departed, and muttered to himself:
"It seems things are about to get lively deep within the Qiushan Mountains!"

After saying that, he lightly leaped and landed on the ground. In the next instant, he disappeared into the grass on the ground, obviously activating his extremely special camouflage ability once again!

After the genetically enhanced individual with special camouflage abilities disappeared, a large, humanoid mass of water emerged from the Longmen River on the distant riverbank.

The genetically powerful being, who looked like a large mass of water, was holding an extremely crystal-clear Origin Stone crystal in his hand. This Origin Stone crystal was much larger than any Origin Stone crystal that Lin Xuankong had ever obtained, and it was also incredibly crystal clear. There seemed to be endless source energy flowing inside. Under the sunlight, it kept flashing with various colors, looking very mysterious!
This extremely clear and translucent Originium crystal is actually a fifth-order Originium crystal. Most importantly, this Originium crystal was brought out of the Dragon Gate River by this gene powerhouse who looks like a large mass of water!
The only fifth-tier life form of the Dragon Gate River, which is infamous for its ferocity, is the Water Ghost Grass Source Beast, also known as the Undying Source Beast! In other words, this extremely crystal-clear fifth-tier source stone crystal was most likely taken from the body of the Undying Source Beast Water Ghost Grass in the Dragon Gate River by this gene powerhouse that resembles a large mass of water!

According to Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, the Water Ghost Grass, a terrifying source beast at the fifth-order life level, possesses extremely astonishing vitality and recovery ability. Even his master Zhao Jiulin, who could severely injure a fifth-order climbing beast and was the strongest in Yunsong Kingdom, could not kill this Water Ghost Grass source beast that reigned supreme in the Dragon Gate River and devoured countless source beasts!

However, this genetically powerful being, who resembled a large mass of water, actually did it!
This mysterious genetic powerhouse's formidable combat abilities, in dealing with the Water Ghost Grass, might even surpass those of Zhao Jiulin, the strongest warrior in the Yun Song Kingdom!

Because of Zhao Jiulin, an extremely powerful genetic expert at the top fifth-tier life level, the Yun Song Kingdom intimidated several surrounding kingdoms. Even the several fifth-tier genetic experts from the Yun Qin Kingdom, who were constantly invading the Tang Kingdom, were quite wary and dared not make an enemy of the Yun Song Kingdom while already being hostile to the Tang Kingdom. One can imagine how terrifying Zhao Jiulin's personal combat ability and strength were!

However, on the banks of the Longmen River in this mountain range, a mysterious genetic powerhouse appeared who was so terrifying that he might even be stronger than Zhao Jiulin, the strongest person in the Yun Song Kingdom!
This mysterious genetic powerhouse not only possesses combat abilities that may surpass Zhao Jiulin, the strongest in the Yun Song Kingdom, but his ability to conceal himself is also terrifyingly strong. Even Sun Lin, a top-tier sixth-tier genetic powerhouse, who repeatedly probed the area using her powerful plant-based genetic abilities, failed to detect anything unusual about the waters near the Dragon Gate River! Lin Xuankong, who previously used the special genetic ability "Eye of Truth" from You Rui to repeatedly scout the Dragon Gate River, also failed to discover this special genetic powerhouse who resembled a large mass of water!
This mysterious and terrifyingly powerful individual with special genes glanced a few times towards the opposite bank of the river, then looked in the direction where Wu Yong in white robes and the disguised gene expert had disappeared. He then shook his head slightly and said:

"Humanity is already on the verge of crisis in the face of various powerful animal-type source beasts and even more powerful and terrifying plant-type source beasts. If the plant-type source beasts in the major mountain ranges are allowed to develop, it will be difficult for the genetically strong among humans to fight against them. In the future, the resources and territory left for human development will become less and less!"

Fortunately, there are some strong individuals among humans with special genes, but they are still somewhat weak, and it's uncertain whether they will have the opportunity to develop further. Furthermore, the plant-based and animal-based source beasts on this planet will only provide them with a limited time to grow!

As soon as this mysterious and terrifyingly powerful expert with special genes finished speaking, the air around him trembled slightly, revealing a semi-transparent human figure.

The figure's appearance was strikingly similar to that of the gene-powered expert who resembled a large mass of water; however, this gene-powered expert, who seemed to be composed of air, appeared more like a woman.
"Brother Wang, why are you worrying about things that haven't happened yet? The number and scale of human gene warriors, as well as the number of super geniuses, are increasing. With the emergence of this source beast disaster, a large number of gene warriors have improved their combat abilities in the dangerous battles. In fact, many gene warriors have grown even faster by relying on the resources obtained from fighting those source beasts!"
In my opinion, we humans were the true rulers of this planet in the past, and we will continue to be the true rulers of this planet in the future!

Look, just like that Water Ghost Grass Source Beast you just killed, wasn't it supposed to be an immortal beast? It still fell into your hands!
However, if you're interested, Brother Wang, we can follow them and see what these little geniuses of ours are up to. But let me make this clear beforehand: no matter what crisis we encounter, you must not act rashly, lest you expose our special genetic abilities!
Zhongji Star has already taken control of the entire Yunqin Kingdom and intends to wreak havoc on the entire planet. They even plan to transform the planet's fifth-tier life level powerhouses into their summoned beasts in order to better control them. To achieve this goal, Zhongji Star might even send extremely terrifying fourth-tier gene powerhouses from space!
Such a powerful being possesses a power that neither you nor I have ever seen, nor can we imagine, and is more likely to be insurmountable!
We've painstakingly developed our current strength in the shadows; we must continue to lie low until we reach the fourth-tier life level!

Upon hearing what the female-shaped, air-ball-like gene powerhouse said, the special gene powerhouse who resembled a ball of water remained silent for a long while before nodding. "Don't worry, as long as they don't engage in overly brutal infighting, and as long as they don't encounter most of their people who have perished, I definitely won't take action. Even if I do, I will do it secretly so they won't notice!"

Seeing that this gene-powerful individual, as fluid as water, did not entirely agree with her, the air-like woman couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
"It's always the same, you're so stubborn, there's just no way to deal with you!"

However, I must remind you that if you secretly intervened against those sixth-tier life forms, it would be difficult to detect. But the people that Wu Yong in white robes from Yunqin Kingdom summoned via satellite phone might not just be sixth-tier life forms. There are quite a few fifth-tier experts in Yunqin Kingdom, and they have all completely submitted to Zhongji Star. If a fifth-tier gene expert from Yunqin Kingdom arrives, you absolutely cannot help them!
Otherwise, all those years of seclusion and cultivation within the Qiushan Mountains would have been for nothing!

Upon hearing this, the water-type powerhouse remained silent for a moment before nodding. "I understand. If I weren't worried about revealing that there were other fifth-tier powerhouses lurking nearby, I would have already crushed that white-robed Wu Yong. Among the many gene warriors of Yunqin Kingdom, this white-robed Wu Yong has the worst reputation!"

"Luckily you didn't make a move. That little guy disguised as a tree branch has unknown combat abilities, but he has amazing hiding abilities. He almost fooled even you and me!"

If you had made a move just now, you would have been discovered immediately, thus exposing yourself!

The woman in the air mass shook her head and sighed.

At this moment, on the opposite bank of the Dragon Gate River, Lin Xuankong and many sixth-order gene powerhouses were already standing on the shore.

I glanced back at the extremely wide Longmen River.
Sun Lin, the sixth-tier gene powerhouse who led everyone across the river, couldn't help but frown and say:

"We were all prepared, but when we reached the middle of the Dragon Gate River, we might be attacked by the powerful fifth-tier source beast, the Water Ghost Grass, which has become intelligent. After all, these intelligent plant-type source beasts prefer to ambush others!"
To my surprise, the Water Ghost Grass Source Beast remained completely still, as if all the Water Ghost Grass nearby were asleep! If I had known this would happen, I would have only needed to throw out a few dozen duckweed seeds along the way, without wasting the source energy equivalent to six or seven ninth-tier source stone crystals, allowing nearly a thousand duckweed seeds to grow rapidly!
