The name has changed, and the metal energy required for control has increased too little. It has become another kind of controlled object.

The most crucial thing is its ability to absorb blood mist and create alchemical source material, which is a key means of removing the fuel from the source.

The additional annotation at the end of the ability did not surprise him.

The characteristics of blood mist have been studied thoroughly, and its main target is living organisms.

He didn't care. With the Eternal Holy Throne on him, he didn't care about any physical injuries. He could just use metal energy to fill them.

"Now, Yongyuan might not be able to sit still..." Li Ming felt slightly relieved after finding a way to check and balance the power.

It has to be the ultimate level of power. He secretly sighed that the joint command had spent such a long time and could only barely transform a usable vampire.

Although they can use most of the resources in the interstellar space, the flesh and blood of the masters are obviously not among them, and the three major civilizations are reluctant to give them up.

That is to say, Sheffield can make calls at will.

"Not bad... I still have to count on you guys." Li Ming praised.

"You're too kind..." Sheffield and the others felt uneasy. This blood species was indeed strange, even though they had studied it for half a year and were equipped with relevant information.

But it cannot be said that the original design has nothing to do with this thing, it can only be said that they are completely unrelated.

There are many substances among them that they cannot find any counterparts in the real universe.

In other words, they discovered the characteristics of cells that were suspected to dominate flesh and blood, so they took the risk of using genetic material to try it.

To be honest, most of the credit goes to the autonomous evolution of the vampires. After they injected the gene source, they only did some auxiliary regulation.

"The research on this blood species can come to an end. Thank you all." Li Ming put the unrecognizable blood species in front of him into his pocket and prepared to leave.

"Wait...Sir..." Sheffield, Nandez and others looked at each other, and hurriedly called out to Li Ming, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Li Ming paused slightly. Seeing that they were hesitant, he couldn't help but say, "You have been working for me all along. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Are we still continuing to mix the ultimate gene seed?" Sheffield asked.

After knowing that Li Ming had become the ultimate life form and Adam had also been promoted, he and Nandez and others were indeed confused for a while, not knowing whether there was any point in continuing the research.

Li Ming suddenly understood and explained, "Of course, we should continue to mix the ultimate gene seed. This is the perfect direction for genetic evolution."

"But hasn't Adam already..." Sheffield was puzzled. Through Anduin and others, he had already understood clearly that the actual controller of the empire was almost the same as Li Ming.

Even if Li Ming himself is not the ultimate life form evolved through genetic evolution, the empire's former Holy Emperor Adam must be a genetically evolved being.

Why not just ask the empire for the relevant technology directly? Why make them grope around in the dark?

"You've misunderstood." Li Ming shook his head. "Although Adam has fused the gene seed, he's been assisted by external means. The Empire's progress is still in a rough state and hasn't been thoroughly researched."

"In fact, their progress is not as good as yours."

External assistance? Sheffield was surprised, then suddenly realized.

After hearing the second half of the sentence, they couldn't help but feel confident. Some time ago, they thought the empire had achieved results, but they were so sad.

Seeing that Sheffield and others had rekindled their motivation, Li Ming nodded secretly.

Even in a crude embryo state, as long as the development progress is reached, he can use the Eternal Holy Throne to assist in the fusion of gene seeds and thus become the ultimate life form.

But the process of modulating gene seeds is not only about increasing stability, but also about eliminating ineffective genes and enhancing effective genes.

The complete seeds are definitely stronger than the rough embryo state.

If given a choice, he would definitely choose the complete seed. Besides, his current development progress is still a long way from 100%, so he can wait.

After dealing with the psychological problems of Sheffield and others, Li Ming returned to the Mechanical Royal Palace in a flash.

Looking at the familiar scenes around him, even though this was not his first time teleporting, Li Ming couldn't help but sigh, "It's really useful."

He went straight to the Tiangong warehouse. More than five months had passed since he left the Mechanical Royal Court. The warehouse, which had undergone several expansions, was filled with a wide variety of high-grade metals, and he began to absorb them immediately.

"Two hundred billion..."

Five or six days later, Li Ming looked at the string of numbers on the control page and couldn't help feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Although the interstellar world was in chaos, Li Ming's business was not greatly disturbed. On the contrary, due to panic, the number of various defensive equipment increased dramatically.

Without even disturbing Ulrich, Li Ming came to the mechanical warehouse alone, enlightened the mechanical bodies that had been manufactured during this period, and put them away.

After digesting the accumulation of this period of time, Li Ming's figure flashed and he turned around and appeared in the void somewhere on the front line of the joint command headquarters.

The marked location he left at the border of the blood mist last time had long been covered by the blood mist and was probably now located deep inside.

Li Ming was not very reassured about appearing at that place directly.

This is also one of the marked locations he left last time. It belongs to the front-line base and has now become one of the blood mist boundary points. There are many warships cruising nearby.

Just by looking, you can see that the red blood mist, which is almost like an interstellar wall, is spreading towards this side. It is estimated that it will not be long before this place is also swallowed up.

Because of the appearance of the blood mist life form, Kostat has restrained his formation.

Li Ming's sudden appearance caused a lot of radar reactions, and they immediately went into alert status.

After a brief period of confusion, his identity was confirmed and the entire base gradually calmed down.

Li Ming sent several messages to Costat, reminding him that the blood mist might change in the future and not to panic.

Costat responded immediately and initiated a communication request to learn more information, but was rejected by Li Ming, who looked at the blood mist in the distance.

He could no longer hold back, and he tore through the void like an arrow, and soon appeared in front of the blood mist.

First try to switch one of the control objects of the main combat system to [Alchemy Stone].

Immediately, he felt a profound change, and even felt that the blood mist in front of him was calling him to merge into it.

"I integrate with you? You integrate with me more or less..." Li Ming shook his head secretly, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart, secretly speculating:

“I don’t know how much development progress can be made this time…”

While waiting for the results of the transformation some time ago, he devoted himself to development for more than three months, but the development progress only advanced 2%, and his efficiency decreased a lot.

"I guess if we can completely devour the entire blood mist, we can definitely reach 100%..." Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head. He knew that there was little hope.

Yongyuan is not a fool. Once he realizes that he can absorb the blood mist, he will definitely restrain himself immediately and will not give him too many chances.

He had anticipated this, but this was also his purpose. Absorbing the blood mist was not to speed up the development progress, but to force Yongyuan to converge.

Of course, if Yongyuan refused to stop, he would be happy to see it happen.

As he pondered, Li Ming's mind moved slightly, and the ability of [Heart of Alchemy] was activated.

In an instant, he felt his heart stagnate, as if it was injected with some strange power.

The blood-colored particles scattered around seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, whistling towards his body, like a blood-colored tornado, forming a scarlet vortex and crashing into his chest.

The blood mist solidified into sharp needles the moment it touched the skin. Since it was absorbed automatically, billions of scarlet crystals easily penetrated the pores, causing ripples of dark gold to appear on the surface of the skin.

The blood mist tentacles decompose into nano-scale energy filaments at the pores and travel along the natural paths of the neural network.

The blood vessels become temporarily transparent under energy overload, revealing the liquid starlight flowing inside. This is the body's autonomously activated buffer mechanism to cushion the violent blood mist.

The muscles rise and fall like tides, precisely regulating the rate of energy intake.

Whenever a tissue in a certain area is subjected to threshold pressure, the corresponding epidermal cells proliferate a hexagonal lattice for temporary storage.

This is the high adaptability of higher life forms to the environment, coupled with the defense blessing, the corrosiveness of the highly concentrated blood mist has almost no effect on him.

As the blood mist poured into the body, the heart beat more and more fiercely, and complex patterns appeared on the surface, continuously devouring the blood mist pouring into the body.

Li Ming had no scruples and absorbed it like a whirlwind, which also attracted the blood mist particles around him. The speed became faster and faster, and the scale became larger and larger.

Finally, I don’t know how much highly compressed blood mist energy was swallowed.

A drop of blood-gold alchemical essence was finally born quietly in the depths of his heart. Like an indestructible stone, it was washed by the blood.

He finally felt a slight tingling sensation, which was the alchemical source stimulating his body and stimulating the progress of his development.

However, with the appearance of this drop of alchemical essence, the rate at which he absorbed the blood mist suddenly slowed down.

"No..." Li Ming frowned slightly, "The decomposition efficiency is a bit slow."

After a slight hesitation, he began to carefully switch the control objects, gradually turning the main combat system into a development system.

Only the [Alchemy Abyss Stone] is left as the main control object.

As his development and blessing continued to improve, his cells became more active than ever before, the decomposition speed of the alchemical source material increased by dozens of times, and the efficiency of absorbing blood mist also soared.

However, due to the weakening of the defense, the impact of high-intensity absorption and transformation on his body is also reflected.

A rusty aftertaste lingered in the throat, and even the cellular level was affected. The originally round and perfect cell structure began to mutate in strange directions, and clearly visible cracks appeared on the surface of the skin.

But these were only fleeting, and then he returned to normal. The [Eternal Holy Throne] had taken effect, allowing his body to remain in normal condition.

At the same time, the metal energy also began to dissipate.

The tingling sensation in his body intensified, but Li Ming's heart was as steady as a rock. The abilities to control multiple objects had achieved a balance in his body, and only metal energy was consumed.

And the 200 billion metal energies are prepared for now.

………

At the core of the blood mist, the huge flesh ball expanded several times more, but its surface was no longer rotten. Instead, it was flowing with a platinum color like liquid holy light.

The once violent purple-black blood vessels transformed into energy veins inlaid with gold edges, condensing into a glittering cross star at the intersection.

The surface of the sphere is covered with sacred geometric patterns, the energy frame of the regular dodecahedron appears and disappears, and each plane is engraved with inscriptions of different civilizations.

Those once corrupted barbs have now transformed into a crystal sword of judgment, with an olive branch of pure energy wrapped around the hilt.

A blood-gold halo unfolded on the top of the sphere, and it was slowly swallowing the blood mist around it, but at a slow speed.

In the core area, the person sitting on the blood-gold throne had already been replaced, and a vague black figure was outlined.

Tanus stood to the lower right of the throne, Levenback not far away. Before him lay a virtual star map, suppressing a certain excitement.

"Lord Yuan, the blood mist has almost covered one-fifth of the Sea of ​​Stars. If those guys hadn't been disinfecting them, the expansion speed would have been even faster."

"However, the alchemical creations have already appeared, and their efficiency in disinfecting will be greatly reduced. Once they cover the entire sea of ​​stars, the entire galaxy will surrender to you."

"Submit?" Tanus glanced at him indifferently.

Levenbeck reacted instantly and said hurriedly: "Those guys are not worthy of submitting to you. They will all perish in despair."

"It has not yet fully entered the era of ultimate evolution...it is of no value." Tanus said in a flat tone, with even less emotional fluctuation in his eyes.

Levenbeck's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked cautiously, "Master Yuan, I have a request."

The illusory black shadow on the throne didn't react at all. Levenbeck seemed accustomed to this and whispered, "Then, can you let me handle Li Ming in the end? Even if I have to kill him, I want it to be me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Levenbeck felt a real sense of oppression coming towards him, and the threat of death irritated his nerves.

Levenbeck hurriedly explained, "He and I have a long history. He's played tricks on me many times, so I want revenge. If you don't want to, forget it."

Tanus stared at him coldly, what a guy who didn't know how to live or die.

After a long time, Levenbeck felt the oppression on his body disappear, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he became more and more certain in his heart that he would not even be allowed to be executed. The secret of Li Ming was probably enough to pose a great, even fatal threat to Yong Yuan.

Although he was feeling excited, he was also helpless. At first, he really thought that Yongyuan was intending to support him as some kind of spokesperson.

But as the blood mist expanded larger and Yongyuan became more and more active, he gradually lost control of the blood mist.

To be more precise, the Blood Mist now has two controllers, one is him and the other is the Abyss Lord, but the Abyss Lord has greater control authority than him.

Moreover, he found that as Yongyuan became more active, Tanus's emotional reactions became less and less.

Gradually developing into a tool man, he realized that what the other party said at the beginning about following the Lord of the Abyss to witness the cycle of evolutionary times was not what he imagined.
