Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 606 The Last Clone

Thousands of years ago, Bai Yang originally only wanted to help Bernard break through.

Let this former companion become immortal, so that our shared destiny of knowing each other will not have been in vain.

However, as time went on, Bernard devoured a massive amount of super metal that was virtually unparalleled in the entire universe.

But some inexplicable change occurred.

The metallic dragon flesh of this special life form was readily available to it, yet it just couldn't evolve!

These metal dragons are all at the special life gene level, and possess the strength of the highest-ranking king.

With such high-quality nutrition, any other metallic life form would surely have achieved immortality and become a marquis.

But Bernard remained completely silent!

"Could it be because these metal dragons are actually impossible to exist in the original universe and can only live in the Inner Dragon Tower?"

Even Bai Yang couldn't figure this out.

The evolutionary paths of plants and metals are truly amazing.

Some seem to be able to advance all the way as long as they are given enough resources.

Some seem to be inherently limited, unable to overcome their inherent flaws no matter what they do.

They can easily change their internal structure; this ability to evolve simply by devouring is essentially an instinct of metallic life forms.

They don't even possess talent, which is one of the most basic abilities, making it much easier for them than for the demon race.

However, it is impossible for super strong individuals to emerge. This seems to be the same on the Origin Continent, where flesh and blood life forms are the mainstream.

"It may still be a limitation of innate intelligence."

Bernard's intellect was so dull, he was practically like a little child.

The metal dragon's life level was too high; it couldn't truly "digest" it.

But what if it were Bai Yang's wisdom?

What if he had a metallic life form as a clone?

Is it possible to quickly reach the genetic level of special life forms?

And when he advances to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he will obtain an unparalleled treasure.

All metal!

This super metal, originating from the world of Doraemon, possesses all the abilities of all metals!

That Earth was of such a high level that Bai Yang even felt it was hard to say whether the entire Origin World could compare to it.

"This will be a super power that belongs only to me."

From a materials perspective alone, the initial plan for the metal clone could be to first become a metal dragon of a special life form level.

Then, it can be fused and even evolved to the level of "all-metal".

Long, long ago, Bai Yang gained the memories of the guide at the Props Museum in that world.

He already knew the basic principles of all-metal refining.

Given time to try, he will definitely be able to refine it.

"The main ingredient of this thing is [red giant star]."

This allows such stars to experience billions or even tens of billions of years of time change from their birth in a very short period of time.

Considering that the lifespan of a typical red giant is only a few million years, my repeated trial and error won't take too long.

Bai Yang had already made up his mind that once he became the master of the universe and could freely travel back in time, he would immediately begin the process.

All-metal materials are incredibly powerful!

Even without being split into clones, its power in creating robots and crafting treasures is unimaginable.

You should know that it's a super metal that can be used to create time machines and Anywhere Doors, and even make any kind of prop!

The way this metal utilizes the power of time and space is simply unbelievable!

And this is only Bai Yang's plan regarding materials!

Three months passed exceptionally quickly.

On this day, Bai Yang sat cross-legged in the cultivation room.

Suddenly, his mind vibrated slightly, and his mental strength finally reached a new level.

The thirty-three levels of the Spiritual Embryo are now complete!

He immediately opened his eyes with delight, feeling the changes within himself.

After this transformation, its will finally rivals that of ordinary cosmic overlords.

But Bai Yang didn't care about these things for the time being; there were more important things to do!

Fractal technology!

In just a moment, he realized that his mental strength had reached the required level and he could nurture his final clone!

Without hesitation, Bai Yang immediately took out the things he had prepared beforehand.

A small piece of metal from Bernard's body!

There's also a strange clone, a half of the heart that was deliberately separated without any genetic enhancement!

"Merge!"

The crimson heart instantly absorbed the silvery-white metal block, and then transformed itself into its likeness.

This is the Monster King's third and final ability!

His heart can merge and assimilate with inorganic matter, and even the entire Earth!

This is a function that can only be achieved with the heart!

It is generally used to survive or escape when forced into a desperate situation.

In a world teeming with teleportation masters, this would be practically meaningless.

But Bai Yang is now using it to enhance Berna's body's ability to devour and evolve, making this metal a completely new existence!

Berna is not immortal yet; he is essentially still a world lord-level metallic life form!

And since the Monster King is himself, there are naturally no barriers to entry.

As the fractal technique was activated, the silvery-white metal block slowly flew into the air and then transformed into a clone's "original embryo"!

He immediately felt a large amount of his divine power begin to leak out and flow into this object.

The new clone has already begun absorbing his spiritual power and soul!

Baiyang's conditions were too good; nurturing such a life gene-level clone was almost effortless.

Half an hour later, a silver-white metallic giant, more than 300 meters tall, appeared in the vast training room.

This metal giant, unsurprisingly, had a face that belonged to Bai Yang himself.

"At such a height, he is indeed at the level of a powerful World Lord."

It could roughly cover and integrate the 1200-meter-high pyramid-shaped spaceship, just like the current Bernard.

This clone is indeed too weak compared to the others!

Even a time-space clone could be crushed without a doubt.

Bai Yang wasn't worried at all; instead, he closed his eyes and sensed the characteristics of this body.

"As expected, there is divine power as the intermediary link, and the several bodies can be completely transformed into each other."

Whether it's flesh and blood, plant, or metal, it's all the same to me from now on.

Even taking Luo Feng as an example, it is possible to freely transfer divine power between the energy-life Demon Slayer Clan and their physical bodies.

This was also the first time Bai Yang had experienced what the level of life genes meant from the perspective of a metal life form.

How could he not be curious that a metal and energy life form that doesn't even have a single cell actually has genes?

Whether there are real metal cells or this "gene" is just a metaphor.

He would be overjoyed to be able to figure out the secret behind it.

A brand new door has opened to Baiyang!

At that moment, the secrets of the metallic life form, which were far clearer than those observed through his soul connection with Bernard, were revealed before his eyes.

In terms of the life of flesh-and-blood plants, he had long since achieved perfect genes in two forms.

Even the spacetime clones are gradually converging in a step-by-step manner, without any obvious bottlenecks.

It has the support of Star Guardian and the enormous computing power of the supercomputer in the secret realm.

Five days later, the metal clone suddenly opened its eyes!

The three bodies standing to the side—Abyss, Monster, and Time and Space—simultaneously began to transfer divine power!
