Chapter 630 Yongyuan's Action

Ripples like water appeared in the silent void, and as the ripples became more intense, a strange body gradually emerged.

Ink-like liquid slid down the uneven blue-black skin, which was as rough as a meteorite and partially covered with translucent scales, like a combination of obsidian and liquid metal.

Beneath those slightly confused eyes, there were no traditional facial features, only a diamond-shaped energy core embedded, as deep dark blue as a black hole, surrounded by radiating crack-like lines, and a curved horn-like structure extending from the top of the head.

He floated up, as if still receiving external information, and his eyes gradually became sharper. He was about four meters tall, with an inverted triangle torso, muscles like cast steel, and joints covered with thick biological armor.

The palms are as huge as hammers, the fingertips are sharp metal claws, the legs are as thick as pillars, and the muscle structure is obvious.

Sharp crystallized bone spurs protrude from the shoulders, back, elbows and knees, like a fusion of some kind of mineral and flesh, with both defensive and offensive capabilities.

And beneath the bluish-black skin, a dark red energy flow like magma can be seen.

There are structures like breathing holes arranged along the spine on the back, and the inside flashes with a bluish-purple light regularly, reflecting broken stars around.

"Tanus..." A majestic and vast voice came from nowhere.

The sharp eyes of this living being suddenly turned into awe. It knelt on one knee on the ground, with its right hand resting on its left shoulder.

"Lord of the Abyss..." He uttered some extremely ancient syllables, "Is it time to hunt again?"

"No... It's not yet active. The suppression of the universe is still very severe."

This answer made Tanus slightly stunned. He raised his head slightly and asked, "Then why did you wake me up?"

"There is something I need you to do."

Tanus became increasingly confused. In the long years since he had served the Lord of the Abyss, he had never received a similar order.

However, he still responded with great respect, "Your command is my will."

"Go to the main universe, find a life form, and bring him back to see me." The supreme will poured into Tanus's mind.

At the same time, there was a picture that seemed to be some kind of battle scene, and his target was the life form with familiar physical features.

"Remember his appearance, but he's likely using a mimicry. Once you enter the main universe, you can look for relevant information among the most powerful civilizations."

"Remember, you must bring him back to me alive."

Tanus was surprised by the message conveyed by the Abyss Lord.

He didn't know what was so special about this life form that made Lord Yuan pay so much attention to it.

In the past years, he had never seen Lord Yuan be so serious and narrate so much information at one time.

"Yes." Tanus nodded and said solemnly, "I will definitely bring him back at all costs. Can you tell me his life level so that I can make full preparations?"

“Not yet at the level of ‘Abyssal General’…”

The words of the Supreme Will almost made Tanus lose his composure. He said in astonishment, "If his life form is so low, then what is so special about him that you are so..."

Before he finished speaking, Tanus felt an irresistible sense of oppression coming from all directions. It was difficult for him to maintain the kneeling posture on one knee, and his whole body was suppressed in the void.

"You just need to complete my instructions." Lord Yuan said coldly.

"I...understand..." Tanus responded with difficulty, and then he felt his body relax.

"The suppression in the main universe is still extremely heavy. If you are still at the Abyss King level, it will be difficult for me to send you into the main universe."

As soon as the Abyss Lord finished speaking, Tanus felt a tearing sensation in his body. His almost indestructible body was being slowly torn apart, and his flesh and bones were clearly visible.

Moreover, lines of black substance were drawn out from his body.

Cracks appeared on the diamond-shaped crystal on the head, and the breath quickly weakened until it reached a certain limit, then stopped.

"I have temporarily severely injured you, reducing you to the level of Abyss General, and extracted some of the power of the Eternal Abyss. This is how I can barely send you into the main universe."

Tanus nodded reluctantly. The severe pain in various parts of his body irritated his nerves, but his mind was clearer than ever before. He even had some unacceptable thoughts that scared him.

The Abyss Lord's voice remained indifferent. "You can recover from your injuries in the main universe, but once you fight at your peak, the universe will reject you. Remember this."

"Understood." Tanus responded in a deep voice, but he also noticed lines appearing in the void beside him.

Then a blue-black trident emerged, slender all over, with black lines surging and purple arcs wrapped around it.

“…The end…” Tanus looked at the trident floating in front of him in surprise.

“…Has the Abyss King already been born in the main universe?” he asked.

"No..." Abyss Lord denied his guess, "It's just that some weapons from the civilization of the previous evolutionary era were left in this evolutionary era. When your injuries haven't recovered, there's a high possibility of an accident."

"The last evolutionary era? Titans..." Tanus paused, then suddenly realized, "The life form just now was very similar to Titans."

"The Titans of the previous era were indeed formidable opponents." He couldn't help but sigh, but quickly restrained himself because this was an emotion that shouldn't appear.

"One more point." The Abyss Lord emphasized at last. Tanus grasped the trident named the End and listened attentively.

The vast will pressed down, "Do not interfere with the normal evolution of this era, and do not have any other thoughts. I know that the extraction of the power of the Eternal Abyss has caused you to have some uncontrollable thoughts."

"But you should know that I will eventually sweep across this universe again, and it may very well be the last time. Submitting to me is your only path."

To forcibly break through the suppression of the universe, even for him now, he would have to pay a certain price, and it would be risky.

But he felt an unprecedented threat from that life form, and he had to take the risk.

"I understand." Tanus responded with great respect.

The next moment, he felt a vast force descending upon him, and his whole body felt as if he had been hit hard. The scene in his vision became bizarre, and he gradually lost consciousness.

It was not until a long time later that the situation calmed down and faint whispers could be heard.

“…The rate of evolution is too slow…Why is it still so slow…”

………

“Still can’t connect…”

In the virtual conference room, the three leaders stared at the "virtual screen" in the center that showed no signal.

"Morris's movements were too loud and disrupted normal communications," Malcolm said helplessly.

Gutierrez slammed the armrest, causing the virtual projection to go into a trance. He said in a deep voice, "This Morris is too arrogant. He doesn't take us seriously at all."

"Once he gets his hands on the Diglas Crown, it will be another disaster that cannot be dealt with."

With the death of two more X-level life forms, the civilization that nurtured them will definitely not give up. He doesn't know how much time and energy it will take to calm down.

"We also need to have a plan to deal with him," Malcolm added.

Adam's face flickered, but he didn't seem worried at all. "Morris hasn't reached a point where he can't handle it. Besides... the Crown of Diglas won't necessarily fall into his hands."

"Will he be willing to give up?" Malcolm was surprised and doubtful.

"It's not up to him," Adam said indifferently. "The decision rests with the Alchemist Baron. Guess... who he is?"

"Hmm?" Gutierrez was quite dissatisfied. "It's already this late, and you're still keeping me in suspense."

Adam then said, "I've basically found out that he is Levenbeck."

"Levenbaker?"

Malcolm and Gutierrez both looked confused and unfamiliar with the name.

Adam added, "That student who was killed by the hammer himself."

"Oh, it's him..." Malcolm suddenly realized. Gutierrez couldn't help but ask, "The one who caused the interstellar massacre? He's still alive?"

"No wonder he knew Qinglong was the Forging Hammer. He wanted revenge," Malcolm whispered.

The three of them have already guessed that the Virgin Mary, the Prophet, and the Alchemist Baron are the three guys who cut off the arms of the Overmind's corpse before them.

After all, the traces they left on the Overlord's body were too familiar.

But both sides kept it a secret and did not make this matter public. The three major civilizations even asked them to completely divide the body of the Overlord to facilitate research.

"Morris is just a puppet," Adam continued, "and I have promised Levenbeck that he will have control over the Crown of Digras."

"Ha, you're still ruthless." Gutierrez couldn't help but grin. "Without the fusion state, Morris is nothing. If there's a gap between these two, it will be easy for us to take action."

"It would be best to keep Morris in our hands and even support him in his fight with Levenback."

"Not bad..." Adam nodded lightly. Dealing with people like Morris and Levenbeck was almost easy for them.

Gutierrez was in high spirits. "Qinglong probably didn't expect that we had such a killer move hidden."

"I guess he must look very good now."

Malcolm smiled. Killing Istanbul made Starry Sky suspicious and confused. Only after suppressing Qinglong in the matter of the Holy Castle could he regain some face.

"drop--"

As the three were talking, the signal was successfully reconnected, and what appeared on the screen was Costat's pale, ugly face.

"Holy Emperor, you two..." He greeted them reluctantly.

He was in a very bad condition, and the three of them could see it at a glance.

"Did the aftermath affect you?" Gutierrez frowned and said sternly, "What happened to Morris? He's just a mimicking lifeform. It was just a random attack from him."

Malcolm couldn't help but feel a little anxious. "What are the casualties? How many people died?"

Adam's expression remained indifferent. No matter how many of his men died, it would hardly affect his position.

Costat's expression changed, and he said helplessly: "Only one Morris died."

"Only one died, so..." Gutierrez responded subconsciously, but his face froze before he could finish his words. His cheeks kept shaking and twitching slightly.

The virtual projection also became blurry.

"Morris!?"

Malcolm suddenly stood up, his expression changed with shock. These few words sounded like thunder in his ears.

Adam's pupils contracted and his reaction seemed minimal, but the virtual projection had already disappeared.

"Are you... sure?" Malcolm sat down in a daze and asked with difficulty.

Just now he was imagining Qinglong's shocked expression, but in the end it was he who couldn't calm down.

“What the hell is going on!” Gutierrez roared, “He… is the Ultimate Life Form. How could he die?!”

Although he had discussed checking and balancing Morris and sowing discord, he found it hard to accept the news of his death.

Because the meaning hidden behind it is so great.

Adam has reconnected, his face gloomy to the extreme. The discussion not long ago seemed like a slap in his face.

Costat knew this would be the outcome, so he could only describe it as briefly as possible:

"The Holy Castle unleashed an attack at the level of an ultimate life form, crushing Morris's fusion state and killing him instantly."

"Holy Castle?"

The three of them were stunned, and then a hope emerged, "Isn't it Qinglong?

"It is basically certain that the attack came from the Holy Castle." Costat responded again.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't Qinglong.

They even thought that Qinglong had become the ultimate life form.

Gutierrez was puzzled. "Can the Holy Fortress launch an attack of this level? Then why didn't we encounter this before? Even after we forcibly dismantled the Supervisor, there was no reaction?"

"I'm not sure." Costat naturally couldn't explain. "Perhaps it's because this Holy Fortress is quite special. After launching an attack, the Holy Fortress collapsed on a large scale, leaving only the core area. It shouldn't be possible to launch a second attack."

"What a pity..." Malcolm's expression eased a lot. It was Morris who died, and Qinglong used a one-time method, which could be regarded as testing out a trump card.

"What's the damage?" Gutierrez asked again.

Costat responded, "Qinglong has already disappeared with the Holy Castle, and that small piece of limb has also fallen into Qinglong's hands."

"Qinglong has the Overmind's corpse in his possession..." Gutierrez said angrily, "With his research capabilities, he might be able to create the Ultimate Gene Seed even faster than we can."

"Biology and mechanics are two completely different paths. It won't happen so quickly." Adam shook his head. "No need to rush."

He knew more. Even the X-level fund seeds needed Sheffield's help in development. It would be a waste if that half arm fell into Li Ming's hands.

This didn't comfort Gutierrez at all, but made him even angrier. "No rush?"

"You know how much we invested in this holy castle, and now it's all gone to waste!"

Adam said in a deep voice: "If I had the ability, I would be the first to kill Qinglong. Unfortunately, I don't have it, but I won't stand here and bark in vain..."

Gutierrez looked at him coldly, thinking that this guy spoke so easily and had no idea what kind of pressure he was facing.

"Actually, the situation hasn't changed at all," Malcolm said. "In the short term, Azure Dragon still won't be able to obtain the Diglas Crown."
