Swallow the starry sky, grind to become the strongest in the universe

Chapter 89: Merging with Blood Crystal, Talent Enhanced Again

With stiff movements, the liberal arts student took out a very exquisite wooden box from his storage ring.

Yu Duan raised his hand and snatched the wooden box.

When the wooden box was opened, two long, triangular prism-shaped crystals were visible.

The crystal was blood red and transparent, faintly emitting a special rhythmic aura, rising and falling rhythmically like a heartbeat.

"Not bad, there are actually two Blood Crystals."

With a flick of his right hand, Yu Duan collected the two Blood Crystals.

"Take me to a safe environment; I need to fuse with the Blood Crystal."

As soon as Yu Duan finished speaking, the scholar nodded and said, "Yes, sir!"

Immediately, led by the city lord, Yu Duan arrived at a secret underground chamber deep within the city lord's mansion, and then temporarily made the city lord unconscious.

……

In the quiet room, Yu Duan sat cross-legged, waving his right hand.

laugh!
Yu Duan simply formed a sword-like gesture and easily slashed a notch in his left arm.

However, the wound began to heal at a visible speed the moment it was opened.

In a maximum of ten seconds, such superficial wounds, which do not contain any laws or power, will heal completely.

"I didn't expect the recovery speed to be so fast. This bloodline transformation has indeed improved everything."

A blood-red light appeared in Yu Duan's right palm, and he directly pinched the Blood Crystal in his hand and then stuck it to the wound.

Suddenly, a strange energy surged from the dazzling crimson crystal.

This strange energy, accompanied by a strong, malevolent aura, rapidly surged into Yu Duan's body along his wound.

"boom!"

A terrifying and ferocious aura instantly surged into Yu Duan's mind.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Countless shouts and roars echoed, bursting forth with the impact of that willpower.

"town!"

Yu Duan's powerful will instantly coalesced, like a blazing sun appearing in the sea of ​​his mind.

In an instant, the countless fierce auras and shouts of killing vanished without a trace, completely suppressed.

As the ferocious will within the Blood Crystal was shattered by Yu Duan.

Instantly, the blood-red crystal trembled, and countless blood-red threads spread out from the blood crystal.

The familiar pain of body modification surged forth.

However, this level of pain is nothing compared to what Yu Duan is experiencing now.

About ten seconds later, Yu Duan's figure, which was originally about two meters tall, suddenly grew to become a 16-meter-tall giant.

During the process of the Blood Crystal transforming his body, Yu Duan was unable to maintain his shrunken state and return to his most natural body shape.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a crack appeared in Yu Duan's skin with a crisp sound, and then a single horn emerged from Yu Duan's chest.

Following that, the characteristics of various different life forms appeared one after another on Duan's body.

It has jet-black scales, suddenly extended nails and claws... and some seven-colored spiral hairs, as if undergoing some kind of ominous disease.

This 'pathological' process lasted only a dozen seconds, after which everything calmed down.

The first Blood Crystal was successfully fused.

Yu Duan opened his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in his body, and then noticed the special power dormant in countless cells.

"Bloodlust Power, activate!"

Boom!

Suddenly, an extremely fierce aura erupted from Yu Duan's body.

At the same time, simple yet profound blood-red runes appeared on Yu Duan's chest.

When wielding the power of Bloodlust, Yu Duan seemed to transform into a humanoid ferocious beast.

"What a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect that fusing with the Blood Crystal would also slightly enhance my compatibility with the 'Law of the Origin of Time'."

The body fused with Blood Crystal not only enhances the compatibility of the two fundamental laws of space and metal.

The compatibility with other fundamental laws, including wind, light, thunder, water, and time, will all be enhanced. (From Chapter 26 of the ninth volume of the original work)

However, Yu Duan's talent in the fundamental laws of time was already extremely high, so the improvement from fusing with the Blood Crystal was not obvious, but it was still an improvement nonetheless.

"If it can enhance one's talent in the fundamental laws of time, then the importance of fusing with the Blood Crystal becomes even greater."

Yu Duan practiced driving and mastering the power of Bloodlust for a couple of minutes.

When this special power is activated, it is not consumed; rather, it brings dormant special power to life, nothing more.

Therefore, Yu Duan only needed a little practice to master the driving of the Blood Luo Power.

"Very good, continue fusing the second Blood Crystal."

Yu Duan, with practiced ease, continued the previous operation and began fusing the second Blood Crystal.

Instantly, a large amount of blood-red threads flowed from the Blood Crystal into Yu Duan's body.

The reaction from the second fusion of Blood Crystal was much greater than the first.

Both the impact on willpower and the physical pain endured have been greatly increased.

However, this was not a great burden for Yu Duan, whose body was 16 meters tall and whose compatibility with the laws of gold and space was a perfect replica of the Golden Horned Beast.

Compared to other metal-type wild beasts of the same level in this world, Yu Duan's physical advantages after fusing with the Blood Crystal are even greater.

As for the burden on willpower, Yu Duan simply ignored it.

Even if it were a hundred or a thousand times stronger, it still couldn't compare to the seventeenth island in the Illusionary Sea.

However, this time the fusion of the Blood Crystal took ten times longer than the first time, lasting a full three minutes.

"The burden on the body is far from reaching its limit."

"It seems that with my body, even without undergoing the transformation of evil energy, I can easily fuse three Blood Crystals and become a Blood Warrior."

Cosmic-level Blood Warriors are extremely rare even among the countless geniuses of the human race.

Without special opportunities, even the top ten domain lord-level bloodlines of the human race would have to go to the ancient god ruins to modify themselves in order to fuse with three Blood Crystals.

Yu Duan stood up, stretched his body slightly, and then returned to his two-meter-tall stature before disappearing from the spot.

A moment later, inside a grand hall of the city lord's mansion.

"My lord," Wen Ke said listlessly, his eyes vacant and his voice dull.

Do you have any other Blood Crystals or intelligence?

“Yes, sir.” Faced with Duan’s question, Wen Ke stared blankly: “Besides me, there are two other Domain-level experts in the city. They both possess Blood Crystals, but neither of them has successfully fused with them…”

Wen Ke reported the details of the two domain lord-level powerhouses to Yu Duan in detail.

One of these two domain lords is a city garrison general, who was a disciple of Wen Ke when he broke through to the domain lord level more than 100,000 years ago.

The other Domain Lord-level being was the patriarch of the city's number one family, an old man over 800,000 years old, at the peak of the Domain Lord level.

This old man is much stronger than Wen Ke, but he failed to fuse with the Blood Crystal, so he couldn't become the city lord.

"Very good, go and summon your disciple!"

"Yes, my lord."

Wen Ke stiffly turned around, walked out of the palace, and ordered the guards to summon his disciple.

This kind of illusion control also places a heavy burden on the end.

Being able to use illusions to bewitch a Domain Lord at the cosmic level is far more difficult than directly resisting an illusion at the cosmic level or a Domain Lord level.

About ten minutes later.

In a secluded room within the city lord's mansion, the garrison general in full military uniform looked at Wen Ke, whose back was turned to him.

"Teacher, what happened that made you so cautious?"

With his back to him, Wen Ke said, "Man Cheng, a great opportunity for us, master and disciple, has arrived."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of curiosity appeared in General Man Cheng's eyes, and he quickly asked, "Please enlighten me, teacher."

At this moment, Wen Ke turned around and said expressionlessly, "Look behind you."

Immediately, Man Cheng turned around.

At that very moment, a dreamlike seven-colored rainbow burst forth.

Instantly, the young second-tier Domain Lord stared blankly.

The "Sword of Illusion" arcane technique is not a powerful illusion-based arcane technique; in terms of power, it can only be considered ordinary.

However, the biggest reason why Master Qinghuan recommended this secret technique is that it is very easy to master and cultivate. It will not consume much of your energy and you can easily get started.

With Yu Duan's terrifying will, even though he only mastered this secret technique at the beginner level, the illusion he created was exceptionally powerful.

At least for these domain lord-level natives, they were simply destined to be annihilated instantly.

However, if facing a realm lord, Yu Duan would find it difficult to trap him in an illusion.

There's nothing we can do about it. No matter how difficult it is to break free from your illusion, it's completely ineffective as long as the other party isn't bewitched by it.

If Yu Duan possesses a true means of impacting will, even an immortal god would not be able to withstand the impact of Yu Duan's will at a cosmic level.

The problem is that there are no secret techniques for manipulating willpower in the original universe. Therefore, the only way to exert the advantage of willpower is through unorthodox methods such as creating powerful illusions.

"Shh!"

As the Time Sword returned to its source, Man Cheng's corpse collapsed helplessly to the ground. Its life core had been pierced by Yu Duan's sword, and it was beyond dead.

Yu Duan raised his hand and the storage wristband on Man Cheng's body landed in his palm.

hum!
A life mark was imprinted on the storage wristband, and Yu Duan quickly spotted an exquisite wooden box among the many riches on Man Cheng's body.

The wooden box was opened, and sure enough, there was a Blood Crystal inside, placed in the center of the box.

Yu Duan looked up at Wen Ke and ordered directly, "Dispose of Man Cheng's body, then announce to the others that you are going into seclusion with Man Cheng and will eventually commit suicide."

“Yes, Master,” Wen Ke replied blankly.

This kind of illusionary control is far less convenient than soul enslavement.

However, there is a limit to the number of soul servants.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yu Duan to enslave a domain lord-level native as his soul servant.

Soul masters like Teacher Qinghuan Wang have lived for a long time and are extremely powerful soul masters who are skilled in soul control.

Even so, under Master Qinghuan Wang's command, there are only a dozen or so soul servants, all of whom are at the limit or peak of the King-level.

"It's time to leave this city."

Yu Duan looked into the distance, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Although there is a peak Domain Lord level expert in this city who definitely possesses the Blood Crystal.

However, according to the description in the literature, this peak Domain Lord level cultivator is nearing the end of his life and has been in seclusion, never coming out.

Charging directly into the city would cause too much of a commotion; it would be better to go to other cities.

……

On the Blood Continent, although there is no sun or moon, there is still a distinction between day and night.

As the eighteen layers of clouds on the Blood Continent change in a regular pattern, there will be a cycle of light and dark. Each cycle lasts for one day, which is equivalent to more than 7 days in the universe.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a year has passed.

During the past six months, Yu Duan traveled to various regions of the Blood Luo Continent by spaceship, imitating Luo Feng's behavior of collecting Blood Luo Crystals.

With strength unmatched below the level of a Realm Lord, he hunted down some natives at the early and middle stages of the Domain Lord level without ever failing.

Furthermore, through illusionary control, Yu Duan would not kill them directly, but would make them all announce that they were going into seclusion, and then kill them later.

Above the eighteen layers of clouds on the Blood Continent.

A streak of jet-black light instantly pierced through the sky, heading towards the ruins of the ancient god.

Inside the spaceship, in the control room crafted from G-class metallic light-etched gold.

Yu Duan lay lazily on Liu Jing, which had transformed into a sofa, enjoying Liu Jing's massage.

"Master, we are about to arrive at the ruins of the ancient god."

A natural sound emanated, and then a screen of light appeared in front of Yu Duan.

The screen displayed an aerial view of the Blood Continent, with one red dot rapidly approaching.

Yu Duan opened his eyes: "We've finally arrived at the ruins of the ancient god."

In the past six months, Yu Duan has collected more than 1200 Blood Crystals and successfully fused 5 of them.

Although Yu Duan's height has increased to about 16 meters, he is still considered tiny among the countless races in the entire universe.

Therefore, when Yu Duan fused with the Blood Crystal, there was no situation where the Blood Crystal's power was diluted or its effect was reduced due to its large size.

Therefore, after fusing with the third Blood Crystal, driving the power of Blood Crystal will cause a relatively complete simplified secret pattern to appear on the chest, while successfully doubling the gene level.

Now, Yu Duan, wielding the power of Blood Luo, unleashes the Amplification Secret Technique and the Talent Enhancement Secret Technique, unleashing a full-force peak burst comparable to 32 times that of an ordinary peak-level cosmic being.

"I wonder how many Blood Crystals I can fuse after being transformed by the evil energy of the Ancient God Ruins."

In a perfect outdoor simulation, Yu Duan gazed in the direction of the ancient god's ruins.

After fusing five Blood Crystals, Yu Duan's body had reached its limit.

For a cosmic-level entity, fusing a single Blood Crystal is already considered exceptional.

Fusing two increases the burden on the body tenfold, and fusing three increases it a hundredfold.
