Chapter 411: Ryan's Ultimate Evolution? Gene Seeds Obtained
"You're welcome. I don't have any other problems except laziness. I'd better go back and lie down." Li Ming politely declined. What's so good about this place? It's impossible to take him to any confidential place. It would be a waste of time.
Monica smiled and tactfully skipped the topic, and the two chatted casually.
Li Ming was very curious about the process of preparing advanced gene seeds.
Monica explained the formation to him in detail.
…
At the same time, in the Starry Sea, the headquarters of the Imperial Garrison Base.
Today, the place is particularly solemn, with imperial warships spread all around and the entire area in silence.
In the central area, several figures stood on a suspended platform, and in the surrounding starry sky there were clumps of jumping flesh and blood.
Veins bulged on the surface, and blood vessels snaked like earthworms, like a living creature, constantly contracting and expanding, emitting a disgusting bloody smell.
Between them, there are tiny blood-red cracks, like some kind of passage.
Ryan's expression was cold and suspicious. "Are you sure those cracks can ignore space and receive that life energy?"
"Don't worry, I've experimented with this many times," Levenback assured. "The 152 planets I've selected are all within a certain range, and the necessary life materials can be directly transferred here."
"Let's get started," Ryan said in a deep voice.
"Huh..." Levenbeck felt somewhat excited and in pain.
The alchemical materials on these 152 life planets are simply not enough to support Prince Ryan's transformation. He has paid a considerable amount of it himself, which is the result of his years of accumulation.
If he had not equated the Azure Dragon with the forging hammer and urgently needed to intimidate or even defeat the opponent, he would not have suffered so much bleeding.
"During the evolutionary process, some maladaptive symptoms may occur..." Levenbeck emphasized, but was interrupted impatiently by Ryan: "I understand, let's get started."
Seeing this, Levenbeck said no more. A bloody light flashed in his eyes. The blood-colored cracks floating around him seemed to be stimulated by something, and quickly extended thick branches of flesh and blood, connecting to Ryan. A large amount of alchemical substances entered Ryan's body.
In an instant, every cell in Ryan's body was vibrating, pumping out a series of energy fluctuations. The huge fluctuations emitted directly caused all the imperial fleets present to issue high-risk energy alerts.
"Absorb those substances!" Levenbeck had already left here quickly under the coercion of Ryan's men.
Ryan frowned, feeling very uncomfortable with his body. Every part of his body was resisting those strange substances. There was obviously something wrong with that thing.
But Ryan had anticipated this and forcibly suppressed his body's instincts, allowing the cold, filthy energy substances to erode his body.
It penetrated the skin, passed through the flesh, and merged with the cells, inducing a stronger reaction. A blazing light exploded from the center, and he transformed into a liberated form, with his broad wings almost obscuring the stars.
"Jialan Blaze." Levenbeck recognized that this was not the Empire's main evolutionary path, but an advanced gene seed exchanged from the Federation.
Strands of blood-colored lines spread along Ryan's body, a cold, deep aura filled the starry sky, and a terrifying energy storm continued to spread.
The cracked flesh and blood gate gradually became unstable, and the alchemical substances transmitted from it were quickly devoured.
These are just appetizers.
The next moment, the densely packed, suspended pieces of flesh and blood all around spewed out a large amount of alchemical substances, violently pouring into Ryan's body.
The middle and high-level soldiers around watched quietly. They vaguely guessed that what their immediate superior was doing was a serious interstellar crime.
If the prince succeeds, there is still room for easing.
"Hold on, please!" Levenbaker clenched his fists. He wanted Ryan to succeed more than anyone else.
But Ryan's development potential is too low, only 29%. I don't know if he can withstand such a rapid leap.
boom!
The energy storm in the field expanded again, and Ryan's white wings had been mostly stained, making him look extremely evil and weird.
"Not good!" Levenbeck's face changed drastically without a sound. He saw small tumors growing on Ryan's wings, blood bursting out, and pieces of hands jumped out, looking hideous and terrifying!
The men standing next to Levenbaker turned pale and had already grabbed his neck.
"What's going on!"
"It's distorted." Levenbeck felt heavy in his heart and couldn't bear it. Could it be that his guess was wrong?
Is this the limit of alchemical materials?
The distortion in the field continued. Small tumors appeared on Ryan's skin and eventually turned into heads of various shapes, which looked very similar to Ryan, either crying or laughing.
"Original distortion..." Levenbeck's heart almost sank to the bottom. This was the most powerful side effect of alchemical substances.
It was indeed too hasty. Ryan couldn't withstand such a drastic jump, and the alchemical materials still needed to be replenished.
Levenbeck felt heartbroken and had almost lost all hope. He could only try his best to watch the distortion process and at least collect some data.
Ryan's breath became weaker and weaker, and his whole body was almost no longer in human form. He turned into a terrifying creature with countless heads, limbs, and flesh twisted together in a hideous manner.
All the imperial soldiers who watched this scene fell into unknown panic.
Until one moment!
boom!
Ryan's originally low and sluggish aura rose in an incredible way, far exceeding what he had just experienced, reaching a new peak.
"Um?"
Levenbeck's eyes suddenly widened, also in disbelief. The hideous mass of flesh and blood suddenly exploded, and the flesh and blood turned into powder.
A vast and majestic aura suddenly spread out, and in the dazzling light, a burly and huge figure could be vaguely seen.
"S-success!?"
The situation took a turn for the better. Levenbeck was so excited that he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the life form, or as if he wanted to hold the entire universe in his palm.
However, the next moment, the vast aura faded again, and the vague figure also dissipated.
"Hmm?" Levenbeck's heart trembled again, and he no longer dared to make a conclusion.
The breath stopped weakening when it reached a certain level, and a bloody figure gradually emerged with its wings spread.
boom!
The blood-red energy storm spread infinitely in an instant, and the imperial warships shook continuously, almost crashing.
"Is this a success or a failure?"
Levenbeck was already confused.
His eyes blurred, and a blood-red storm mixed with the smell of blood rushed towards him. Ryan, who was completely different, appeared in front of him.
In the liberated form, its entire body turns blood red, covered with dense floating cracks, and there are constantly throbbing meatball spores under the skin.
"Half done?" Levenbeck saw at a glance that Prince Ryan's physical condition was in a strange balance.
The evolutionary level has definitely made a huge leap, but it is far from reaching the level of the ultimate evolutionary body.
"How could this happen?" Levenbeck thought subconsciously.
In his theoretical results, there is no such state as half-finished.
Either it succeeds or it doesn't.
The strange nature of alchemical substances will corrode all living things. Is there something in his body that can neutralize this corrosion?
The liberated form converged, and Prince Ryan's original body emerged, his brows furrowed, his fists clenched, and he stared coldly at Levenback: "Why didn't I become the Ultimate Life Form?"
Even Levenbeck now had the urge to curse, "You're lucky enough to be alive, and you're still thinking about becoming the ultimate life form."
"Maybe there's not enough life substance..." Levenbeck speculated, also feeling strange, and asked tentatively: "What did you feel during the evolution just now?"
Ryan stared at him, making Levenbeck a little nervous, and then he sensed the other party's mental fluctuations:
"I know what you want to ask. Tell me your true identity and I will tell you what you want to know."
How could this seemingly impulsive guy be so smart? Levenback pondered for a long time, carefully considered, weighed the pros and cons, and finally said: "I am... Levenback."
"Levenbaker?" Ryan frowned, as if he couldn't remember it at the first time.
Levenback took a deep breath and uttered the name he hated so much: "Student of the Hammersmith."
"It's you!"
Ryan's reaction was like a sledgehammer hitting Levenbeck's chest, making him even more depressed.
"You're not dead. Did that old guy, Forging Hammer, hold back?" Ryan was quite surprised.
"No, I survived entirely on my own," Levenbeck muttered, unwilling to delve into the topic. He then said gravely, "It's your turn."
"The blood of the Terraxians." Ryan spat out a few words. Levenbeck's eyes suddenly brightened and his breathing quickened. "The blood of the Terraxians allowed you to withstand the distortion and formed a strange balance with the alchemical substances."
"Yes, the concentration of the imperial royal family's blood is unparalleled, so this is indeed a possibility." Levenbeck murmured in a low voice and couldn't help clenching his fists.
“This might be a way…”
The harvest this time was so great that Levenbeck became more and more excited.
"I can feel that my body is eroding each other and can't hold out for too long. I need more alchemical substances to support me to become the ultimate life form and eliminate the defects in my body." Ryan said in a deep voice.
Levenbeck's expression remained unchanged, which was similar to what he guessed.
Ryan's idea is to become the ultimate life form, and after a major life leap, he will go back to deal with the damage caused by the alchemical substances. It is not impossible to make up for it.
"The scale of this number may be even larger than I imagined. Not to mention one thousand, even two thousand would not be enough." Levenbeck shook his head.
"No matter how many, at any cost!" Ryan's eyes were fierce, and there was no turning back.
Levenback said worriedly, "The events of the Sea of Stars cannot be concealed for long. If over a hundred planets with life fall into a state of death, it will cause chaos."
Ryan had a plan in mind: "I'll help you delay time, just in time to solve some problems."
"Qinglong?" Levenbeck guessed immediately, "Do you know where he is?"
"Mechanical Royal Court, go capture Li Ming. Don't you want him?" Ryan sneered, "I don't believe that Qinglong won't show up."
Levenbeck's heart skipped a beat and he looked hesitant.
Because Li Ming is most likely not in the Mechanical Royal Court now, but if he mentions this matter, he will have to explain the previous events to Ryan.
It is also necessary to mention the speculation that Qinglong is the hammer. There are many things involved, and there are some things he does not want to disclose.
"Don't be so drastic." Levenback shook his head. "Destroying the Mechanical Royal Court might seem satisfying, but it won't cause any substantial damage to Azure Dragon. How big of a deal is that? You're representing the Empire, aggressively attacking him. It's only natural that he avoids a fight. Isn't that normal?"
"Even if it can cause a huge stir for a while, it will soon dissipate if Azure Dragon doesn't appear."
Levenbeck remained calm. "I suggest you block the way rather than fight. Simply ask Qinglong to come out and meet you. As long as Qinglong doesn't come out, it means he's afraid of you. This kind of public opinion will never dissipate, which will make it easier for me to continue with my work."
"Block instead of fighting?" Ryan thought to himself. His only target was Qinglong. Li Ming and the Mechanical Royal Court were just scraps.
Li Ming's development potential is high, but it takes time to realize it.
The Mechanical Royal Court is so small that if we blow it up with one punch, I'm afraid it won't even hurt Qinglong's skin.
If it weren't for Qinglong, he wouldn't have taken it to heart at all.
He nodded, his expression cold and silent, "Just as you say."
…
The time passed longer than Li Ming had imagined. Five days passed, then eight days, and until the tenth day, he finally met Sheffield in the reception room.
This famous X-level life form appeared thinner than on the screen, and was dressed in a blue velvet costume with ethnic characteristics, looking quite elegant.
However, when he saw Li Ming walking in, Sheffield's reaction was extremely intense. The gentle smile froze on his face, and his pupils suddenly turned dark green, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The strong sense of being watched made Li Ming alert, and he even felt a sense of gloom. He stopped where he was and became extremely vigilant.
Monica stood behind her father, holding a metal box in her hand, and looked at the back of her father's head hesitantly.
But Sheffield soon returned to normal. His previous performance seemed short-lived. He raised his hand apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, it took longer than I expected. Please take a seat."
"It's okay, I didn't wait too long." Li Ming then walked forward and sat down, acting as if nothing had happened.
He could even see obvious fatigue from Sheffield, which was extremely rare for an X-level life form, and was enough to prove that this debugging was indeed extraordinary.
This special variant is not like the genetic seeds that have been prepared countless times in the past, which have standardized formulations and need to be specially prepared.
The fact that it can be prepared in just over three months is enough to prove Sheffield's level.
Sheffield just smiled, then tilted his head slightly. Monica walked forward tacitly, placed the metal box in front of the two of them, and then slowly opened it.
Li Ming looked over and saw a uniquely shaped triple-spiral gene seed syringe quietly placed in the box.
The liquid within was as thick as ink, dotted with purple stars, and slowly flowed in a certain pattern, undulating and flowing. — [Star-Swallowing Hell Dragon Gene Seed]
