Swallowing the Stars: Equipment Slots, Starting with a Genius Battle

A frenzied fervor flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.

"Just equipping 8 Blood Crystals has such an effect?"

If we equip 80!

800 pieces!

"8 of them!!"

"What will I be transformed into?!"

Ye Feng let out a long sigh, forcibly calming his turbulent emotions.

Currently, both of his equipment slots are full, and he cannot equip anything.

"First, we'll fuse them together, then we'll get the Blood Crystal."

Thinking of the divine power of the Heavenly Beast God, and the possibility that it might have even better effects due to increased numbers, Ye Feng was filled with fervor.

Blood Crystal is secured; even the Immortal Temple's arrival is useless against it!

"Begin fusion!" Ye Feng no longer hesitated, his fingertips like sharp blades formed from the laws of nature, instantly slicing across his left palm!

laugh!

Blood gushed out, and without hesitation, he pressed a Blood Crystal onto the wound!

The number of Blood Crystals fused into the body can improve the Blood Crystal solidification efficiency of future equipment, which is very necessary!

"boom--!!!"

A shock to willpower!

A savage and murderous will originating from the ancient wilderness, like a burst dam of a galaxy, surged into Ye Feng's sea of ​​consciousness and assaulted his will!

"snort!"

With a slight movement of his will, Ye Feng easily crushed this violent killing intent, as if brushing away dust.

With his will gone, the strange energy contained within the Blood Crystal—the true "Blood Crystal Power"—transformed into billions of blood-red threads, finer than a hair, and frantically drilled into his body!

"Hmph!" Ye Feng's body trembled, and he let out a muffled groan!

Excruciating pain!

But it's tolerable.

A short while later,

Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"call……"

His breath seemed to carry a scorching heat. Beneath his tattered clothes, his body had returned to normal.

By drawing upon the power of Bloodlust, a mysterious and unfathomable dark red rune suddenly appeared.

test!

With a surge of psychic power, millions of tons of earth and rocks floated like feathers, manipulated with perfect ease and without any hindrance—the intensity of the psychic power and the will of consciousness remained unaffected.

boom!

A casual punch missed its mark, the air exploded, and the shockwave swept for kilometers, tearing up the grass—his basic physical strength seemed to have increased somewhat.

Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. "My current source of power is mainly the Burning Star Spirit Vine, not myself. Even after fusing with a Blood Luo Crystal, the boost that Blood Luo power provides to my strength is negligible!"

Fortunately, the underlying essence of life is undergoing a leap forward!

Only when a life form of flesh and blood breaks through the five realms of planet, star, universe, domain lord, and world lord can it leap to a higher level of life.

At this moment, he, a ninth-level cosmic-level being, had his life genes shackled by the effect of the Blood Crystal!

"Keep going! Try fusing a few more!" Ye Feng said slowly.

Continue the integration!

The second one!

The third one!

The killing intent surged exponentially with each level, and the crimson tide grew ever more turbulent, but it was all in vain before the peak will of a Marquis, and was annihilated in an instant!

However, the transformation of his body by the power of Bloodlust brought even deeper pain and a sense of loss of control, as if it were trying to completely reshape his flesh and blood!

When the power of the third Blood Crystal was fully integrated—

hum!

Three mysterious and unfathomable runes, flowing with dark red light, suddenly appeared on Ye Feng's chest skin! Like the marks of an ancient god!

"Wonderful! Incredible, mass production has brought about a qualitative change!" Ye Feng closed his eyes, his mind completely absorbed.

The fluctuations of the ten fundamental laws—metal, wood, water, fire…—have never been so clearly discernible!

It was as if a veil of mystery had been lifted.

Ye Feng knew that this was not an improvement in affinity with a single law, but a qualitative change at the entire genetic level of life.

At the genetic level of life, it's doubled!

Ye Feng scanned the equipment bar.

Ye Feng

Realm: Ninth level of the Universe

Willpower: Peak of Marquis Status!

Life gene level: 2 times!

law:

The Origin of Fire (Understanding its Essence: 88 Types)

The Origin of Space (Understanding the Essence: 42 Types)

Equipment 1: Hundred Tribulations Heart Essence (99x Willpower Amplification, Hundred Tribulations Heart Refinement)

Permanent effect remaining: 19995 years and 9 months (can be accelerated by willpower training).

Equipment 2: Flame Star Beast Life Core (Devouring Evolution, Darling of Fire, Incomplete Law Enlightenment)

Permanent effect remaining: 14952 years and 2 months (can be accelerated by willpower training).

The level of life genes has indeed increased by two times.

Even more surprisingly, in less than a week, the repeated confrontations with the Beast God's killing intent during the fusion process also tempered his will and accelerated the solidification time of the two pieces of equipment!

The solidification time of the Hundred Tribulations Heart Essence was accelerated by a hundred times, directly reducing it by 3 years!

The life core of the Flame Star Beast accelerated by over a thousand times, reducing the time by 13 years!

After the initial joy, Ye Feng realized that the majority of the credit for this effect came from his will reaching the peak of the Marquis level after being enhanced 99 times.

Furthermore, the beast god's will within the Blood Crystal is surprisingly useful in accelerating the solidification of the Flame Star Beast's life core.

"The process of fusing with the Blood Crystal can actually temper one's will?!"

A slight ripple stirred within Ye Feng's heart!

This is such a pleasant surprise!

Not only can it elevate the genetic level, but it can also accelerate the solidification process of the two treasures! A two-pronged approach, doubling the efficiency!

"Continue!" His eyes burned with intense heat as he pressed the fourth Blood Crystal onto the still-unhealed wound without hesitation!

"Huh—"

When the will of the fourth Blood Crystal descended, Ye Feng's peak Marquis-level will felt a clear "ripple" for the first time!

No longer the casual crushing defeat of before, the savage will originating from the beast god's essence, like a gentle breeze, stirred up ripples in Ye Feng's sea of ​​consciousness.

Although it was still far from posing a threat, it was enough for his will to clearly perceive its existence.

The fifth one!

"Ugh—!"

The impact on will intensified once again, creating waves of change!

At the same time, the power of Bloodlust continued to transform the body, and the pain index of every muscle and cell in the body jumped to another level!

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Ye Feng's forehead. He clenched his teeth and took out the highly effective painkiller he had prepared beforehand—a concentrated liquid that shimmered with a dark blue luster.

The needle pierced the arm, and the cold medicine was instantly injected. The powerful nerve-blocking effect quickly took effect, greatly weakening the transmission of pain nerves.

"Phew! That feels much better!" Ye Feng put the empty syringe into his spatial ring and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although his body continued to violently mutate, twist, and reorganize under the power of Bloodlust, most of the heart-wrenching connections had been forcibly severed, allowing him to focus on the struggle of his will.

In order to become stronger, he is not afraid of pain, but he will not give up more comfortable ways and will not choose to torture himself.

The two major challenges in fusing Blood Crystals—

Willpower Test: Endure the impact of the beast god's lingering resentment without any external force; rely solely on willpower to withstand it!

Painful Barrier: The body endures the brutal transformation of its life essence by the power of Bloodlust, penetrating deep into the bone marrow and touching the soul! This barrier... can be alleviated with the help of external medicine!

The sixth one!

The impact of the killing intent had become tangible, relentlessly assaulting Ye Feng's will time and again! Each collision sent a clear tremor through his will!
