This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 411: Ryan's Ultimate Evolution? Gene Seeds in Hand
"You're welcome. I don't have any other problems except laziness. I'd better go back and lie down." Li Ming politely declined. What's so good about this place? It's impossible for him to be taken to such confidential places. It would be a waste of time.

Monica smiled and tactfully skipped the topic, and the two chatted casually.

Li Ming was very curious about the process of preparing advanced gene seeds.

Monica explained the formation to him in detail.

……

At the same time, in the Starry Sea, the headquarters of the Imperial Garrison Base.

Today, the place is particularly solemn, with imperial warships spread all around and the entire area in silence.

In the central area, there were several figures standing on a suspended platform, and there were clumps of jumping flesh and blood in the surrounding starry sky.

Veins bulged on the surface, and blood vessels meandered like earthworms, like a living creature with life, constantly shrinking and expanding, emitting a disgusting bloody smell.

Between them, there are tiny blood-red cracks, like some kind of passage.

Ryan looked indifferent and suspicious: "Are you sure those cracks can ignore space and receive those life energies?"

"Don't worry, I've experimented many times." Levenbeck assured, "The 152 planets I selected are all within a certain range, and the life substances needed can be directly transmitted here."

"Let's get started," Ryan said in a deep voice.

"Huh..." Levenbaker felt somewhat excited and in pain.

The alchemical materials on these 152 life planets were simply not enough to support Prince Ryan's transformation. He had paid a considerable portion of it himself, which was the result of his many years of accumulation.

If he had not equated Azure Dragon with the forging hammer and was in urgent need of shocking or even defeating the opponent, he would not have bled so heavily.

"There may be some maladaptive symptoms during the evolution process..." Levenbeck emphasized, but was interrupted impatiently by Ryan: "I know, let's get started."

Seeing this, Levenbeck said no more. His eyes flashed with blood. The blood-colored cracks suspended around him, as if stimulated by something, quickly extended thick branches of flesh and blood, connecting to Ryan, and a large amount of alchemical substances entered Ryan's body.

In an instant, every cell in Ryan's body was vibrating, pumping out a series of energy fluctuations. The huge fluctuations emitted directly caused all the imperial fleets present to issue high-risk energy alerts.

"Absorb those substances!" Levenbeck had already left here quickly under the coercion of Ryan's men.

Ryan frowned, feeling very uncomfortable with his body. Every part of his body was resisting those strange substances. There was obviously something wrong with that thing.

But Ryan had anticipated this and forcibly suppressed his body's instincts, allowing the cold, filthy energy substances to corrode his body.

It penetrated the skin, passed through the flesh, and merged with the cells, inducing a stronger reaction. A blazing light exploded from the center, and he transformed into a liberated form. His wide wings almost obscured the stars.

"Gallan Blaze." Levenbeck recognized that this was not the main evolutionary path of the Empire, but an advanced gene seed exchanged from the Federation.

Strands of blood-colored lines spread along Ryan's body, a cold, deep aura permeated the starry sky, and a terrifying energy storm continued to spread.

The cracked flesh and blood gate gradually became unstable, and the alchemical substances transmitted from it were quickly consumed.

These are just appetizers.

The next moment, the densely packed, suspended pieces of flesh and blood all around gushed out a large amount of alchemical substances, violently pouring into Ryan's body.

The middle and high-level soldiers around watched quietly. They vaguely guessed what their immediate superior was doing and that what he had committed was already a major interstellar crime.

If the prince succeeds, there is still room for easing.

"Please hold on!" Levenbaker clenched his fists. He wanted Ryan to succeed more than anyone else.

But Ryan's development potential is too low, only 29%. I don't know if he can withstand such a violent leap.

boom!
The energy storm in the field expanded again, and Ryan's white wings had been mostly stained, making him look extremely evil and weird.

"Not good!" Silently, Levenbaker's face changed drastically. He saw small tumors growing on Ryan's wings, bursting with blood, and pieces of hands popped out, looking hideous and terrifying!
The men standing next to Levenbaker turned pale and had already grabbed his neck.

"How is this going!"

"It's distorted." Levenbaker felt heavy in his heart, but he couldn't bear it. Could it be that his guess was wrong?

Is this the limit of alchemical materials?
The distortion in the field continued. Small tumors appeared on Ryan's surface skin and finally turned into heads of various shapes, which looked very similar to Ryan, crying or laughing.

"Original distortion..." Levenbeck's heart almost sank to the bottom. This was the most powerful side effect of alchemical substances.

It was indeed too hasty. Ryan couldn't withstand such a drastic jump and the alchemical materials still needed to be replenished.

Levenbaker felt heartbroken and had almost given up any hope. He could only try his best to watch the distortion process and at least collect some data.

Ryan's breath became weaker and weaker, and his whole body was almost no longer in human form. He turned into a terrifying creature with countless heads, limbs, and flesh twisted together in a hideous way.

All the imperial soldiers who were watching this scene were plunged into unknown panic.

Until one moment!
boom!
Ryan's originally low and sluggish energy rose in an incredible way, far exceeding that before, reaching a new peak.

"Ok?"

Levenbaker's eyes suddenly widened, equally unbelievable, the hideous mass of flesh and blood suddenly exploded, and the flesh and blood turned into powder.

A vast and majestic aura suddenly spread out, and in the dazzling light, a burly and huge figure could be vaguely seen.

"Successful!?"

As the situation took a turn for the better, Levenbeck was so excited that he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the life form, or as if he wanted to hold the entire universe in his palm.

However, the next moment, the vast aura faded again, and the vague figure also dissipated.

"Hmm?" Levenbeck's heart trembled again, and he no longer dared to make a conclusion.

The breath stopped when it weakened to a certain level, and a bloody figure gradually emerged with its wings spread.

boom!
The blood-red energy storm spread infinitely in an instant, and the imperial warships shook continuously, almost crashing.

"Is this a success or a failure?"

Levenbeck was already confused.

His eyes blurred, and a bloody storm mixed with the smell of blood rushed towards him, and a completely different Ryan appeared in front of him.

In the liberated form, its entire body turned blood red, with dense floating cracks all over it, and there were constantly vibrating meatball spores under the skin.

"Halfway?" Levenbeck saw at a glance that Prince Ryan's body was in a strange balance. His evolutionary level had definitely made a huge leap, but it was far from reaching the level of the ultimate evolutionary body.

"How could this happen?" Levenbaker thought subconsciously.

In his theoretical results, there is no such state as halfway through.

Either it succeeds or it doesn't.

The strange nature of alchemical substances will corrode all living substances. Is there something in his body that can neutralize this corrosion?

The liberation form converged, and Prince Ryan's original body emerged, frowning, clenching his fists, staring coldly at Levenback: "Why didn't I become the ultimate life form?"

Even Levenbaker now had the urge to curse, "It's good enough that you're not dead, and you're still thinking about becoming the ultimate life form."

"It should be that there is not enough life substance..." Levenbeck speculated, and also felt strange, so he asked tentatively: "What did you feel during the evolution just now?"

Ryan stared at him, which made Levenbeck a little nervous. Then he sensed the other party's mental fluctuations:
"I know what you want to ask. Tell me your true identity and I will tell you what you want to know."

How could this seemingly impulsive guy be so smart? Levenbaker pondered for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, and finally said, "I am... Levenbaker."

"Levenbaker?" Ryan frowned, as if he didn't remember it at the first time.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Levenback took a deep breath and uttered the name that he hated so much: "Student of the Hammer Forger."

"It's you!"

Ryan's reaction was like a sledgehammer hitting Levenbaker's chest, making him even more depressed.

"You are not dead. Did the old guy Forging Hammer hold back?" Ryan was quite surprised.

"No, I survived entirely on my own." Levenbeck said in a muffled voice, unwilling to delve into this topic, and said in a deep voice: "It's your turn."

"The blood of the Terraxians." Ryan uttered a few words. Levenbeck's eyes suddenly lit up and his breathing became rapid. "The blood of the Terraxians allowed you to sustain the distortion and formed a strange balance with the alchemical substances."

"Yes, the concentration of the imperial royal family's blood is unparalleled. This possibility is indeed possible." Levenbeck murmured in a low voice and couldn't help clenching his fists.

“This might be a way…”

The harvest this time was so great that Levenbaker became more and more excited.

"I can feel that my body is corroding each other and can't hold out for too long. I need more alchemical substances to support me to become the ultimate life form and eliminate the defects in my body." Ryan said in a deep voice.

Levenbaker's expression remained unchanged, which was similar to what he guessed.

Ryan's idea is to become the ultimate life form, and after a drastic life leap, he will go back to deal with the damage caused by the alchemical substances. It is not impossible to make up for it.

"The scale of this number may be even larger than I imagined. Not to mention one thousand, even two thousand would not be enough." Levenbaker shook his head.

"No matter how many, at any cost!" Ryan's eyes were fierce, there was no turning back.

Levenback said worriedly, "The events of the Sea of ​​Stars cannot be concealed for long. More than a hundred planets with life falling into deathly silence will cause chaos."

Ryan had already planned it in his mind: "I will help you delay time, just in time to solve some troubles."

"Qinglong?" Levenbeck guessed immediately, "Do you know where he is?"

"Mechanical Royal Court, go and catch Li Ming, don't you want him?" Ryan sneered, "I don't believe that Qinglong won't show up."

Levenbaker's heart skipped a beat and he looked hesitant.

Because Li Ming is most likely not in the Mechanical Royal Court now, but if he mentions this matter, he will have to explain what happened before to Ryan.

It is also necessary to mention the speculation that Qinglong is the hammer forging master. There are many things involved, and there are some things he does not want to reveal.

"Don't be so drastic." Levenback shook his head and said, "If you blow up the Mechanical King's Court, it may seem satisfying, but it won't cause any substantial damage to Azure Dragon. How big is that? You represent the Empire and launch an aggressive attack on him. Isn't it normal for him to avoid fighting?"

“Even if it can cause a big stir for a while, it will soon dissipate if the Azure Dragon does not appear.”

Levenbeck remained calm. "I suggest that you block the way without fighting. Just ask Qinglong to come out and meet you. As long as Qinglong doesn't come out, it means that he is afraid of you. And this kind of public opinion will never dissipate, which will also make it easier for me to continue to do my work."

"Block instead of fighting?" Ryan thought to himself. His target was only Qinglong. Li Ming and the Mechanical Royal Court were just scraps.

Li Ming's development potential is high, but it takes time to realize it.

The Mechanical Royal Court is just a small one. If we blow it up with one punch, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to hurt Qinglong’s skin.

If it weren't for Qinglong, he wouldn't have taken it to heart at all.

He nodded, his expression cold and silent, "Just as you say."

……

The time passed longer than Li Ming had imagined. Five days passed, then eight days, and until the tenth day, he finally met Sheffield in the reception room.

This famous X-level life form appears thinner than on the screen, and is dressed in a blue velvet costume with racial characteristics, looking quite elegant.

However, when seeing Li Ming walking in, Sheffield's reaction was particularly intense. The gentle smile froze on his face, and his pupils suddenly turned dark green, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The strong sense of being watched made Li Ming alert, and he even felt a sense of eeriness. He stopped where he was and became extremely vigilant.

Monica stood behind her father, holding a metal box in her hand, and looked at the back of her father's head hesitantly.

But soon, Sheffield returned to normal. His performance just now seemed to be a flash in the pan. He raised his hand apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, it took longer than I thought. Please take a seat."

"It's okay, I didn't have to wait too long." Li Ming then walked forward and sat down, acting as if nothing had happened.

He could even see obvious fatigue from Sheffield, which was extremely rare for an X-level life form, and was enough to prove that this debugging was indeed extraordinary.

This special variant, unlike the genetic seeds that have been formulated countless times in the past, does not have a standardized formulation and needs to be specially made.

The fact that it can be prepared in just over three months is enough to prove Sheffield's level.

Sheffield just smiled, then tilted his head slightly. Monica walked up tacitly, placed the metal box in front of the two of them, and then slowly opened it.

Li Ming looked over and saw a uniquely shaped triple-helix gene seed syringe quietly placed in the box.

The liquid inside was as thick as ink, dotted with purple stars, and was flowing slowly and undulating according to a certain pattern - [Star Devouring Prison Dragon Gene Seed]
