Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1361 - 694: Brain Lake Remains

”Dang!”

”Clang clang clang!”

Inside the massive underwater Abyss Island, in the spacious heart chamber, there’s an incessant clinking sound of collisions.

Torches illuminate the entire heart chamber, making the space glow with glittering gold.

At first glance, it seems as if the ground is paved with gold.

Liang Yuan used Spatial Rift Slash to directly cut the metal attribute Blood Crystals inside the heart chamber into large cubes.

At first glance, they resemble giant blocks of pyramids.

Yet, the efficiency of Liang Yuan is incredibly high, despite being the only one cutting Blood Crystals.

However, with just one horizontal and one vertical spatial rift, he could easily chop out four huge Crystal Stones.

With several more Spatial Rift Slashes, the ground was covered with large Blood Crystals.

Now, Liang Yuan has finished cutting all the Crystal Stones, leaving the transport to the people from Spirit Jade Island.

Liang Yuan greeted the others and continued to explore other places.

Taking advantage of everyone’s busyness, he flew back outside the heart.

Then quickly flew within the gaps of the Abyss Island’s massive corpse, searching for the head position.

”From the outside, it’s almost impossible to distinguish the head location of this Abyss Island.”

”Inside, it’s also hard to identify its inner organs.”

”But in this chest cavity, some organs can be identified.”

Liang Yuan distinguished the heart and other organ parts while searching for the way to the head.

The massive corpse of Abyss Island was enormous, and it took Liang Yuan half a day to find Brain Lake.

However, Brain Lake had long dried up, exposing a large amount of spiritual power Blood Crystals.

Without hesitation, Liang Yuan quickly began to gather these Blood Crystals.

Spiritual power Blood Crystals are unlike the hard metal attribute Blood Crystals and difficult to harvest.

In just tens of minutes, Liang Yuan cleared all the spiritual power Blood Crystals from the dried Brain Lake.

”Huh?”

Just as he was about to leave, his steps suddenly halted, seeing a blood vessel path at the corner of the dried Brain Lake.

Liang Yuan’s heart moved slightly, instinctively recalling Ling Yurong’s ice crystal palace.

His body swayed and he quickly entered that blood vessel path.

Inside the blood vessel path, many spiritual power Blood Crystals had accumulated.

Liang Yuan unreservedly took these Blood Crystals and continued walking inside.

Before long, the path ahead suddenly widened, revealing a vast cavern.

Inside the fleshy cavern, there truly was a strange tower-like structure.

The small tower was about five or six meters high, with a small door that could only accommodate one person passing through.

Liang Yuan carefully scrutinized this small tower, finding that its surroundings were embedded with a large number of complex symbols.

These symbols closely resemble superpower Runes, yet are somewhat different.

Liang Yuan approached, observing them closely.

He discovered these Runes were dim and seemed to have long lost their original capabilities.

”Could it be due to a prolonged lack of superpower stone energy supply, causing these Runes to lose function?”

Liang Yuan pondered, and finally activated the dark attribute Genetic Species, transforming into a shadow, heading towards the tower door.

He entered through the tower door, where colorful ribbons dangled everywhere inside.

These ribbons did not resemble those made from fabric, but were instead like skins of some creature that had been cut.

A large number of Runes were etched on the skin, hanging down, swaying slightly due to the breeze brought by Liang Yuan’s presence.

Liang Yuan’s gaze was not drawn to these straps, but instead attracted by the dry corpse seated cross-legged in the center of the tower.

The corpse was not in human form; its upper body was human, while the lower body was a snake’s long tail.

At this moment, the tail was already withered, but the scales on it glimmered with golden brilliance, exceptionally dazzling.

Liang Yuan looked at the upper body of the skeleton, which was a man’s skeleton.

The muscles had shriveled, severely dehydrated, like a bare skeleton.

Liang Yuan didn’t dare to be careless. Knowing Ling Yurong managed to live from the Ancient Era till the present, encountering any special situations wouldn’t surprise him.

”Destroy it first,” Liang Yuan thought, waving his hand!

Woosh!

Suddenly, a Vacuum Flash Flame flared up, instantly enveloping the skeleton.

The skeleton immediately ignited, its entire body emitting a faint golden glow, surprisingly not burning away at first instance.

Liang Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly: ”There’s something peculiar!”

He immediately increased the firepower, flames roaring, continuously burning and grilling this dry corpse.

Logically, such a dehydrated dry corpse should ignite easily.

Yet, under the burning of Vacuum Flash Flame, not only did it not burn away but it instead radiated streams of golden light.

Only the impurities and dust on the surface of the corpse were burned clean, revealing the golden patterns within.

Liang Yuan’s expression grew grave: ”Metal attribute?”

Evidently, although the skeleton was withered, its bones and flesh contained extremely powerful metal attribute elements.

Even Vacuum Flash Flame couldn’t burn it away.

Liang Yuan was not in a hurry, leisurely continuing to channel the flames.

In principle, even if the entire skeleton was entirely formed from metal, there was no way it could resist the high temperatures of his Vacuum Flash Flame.

And indeed, after about a quarter of an hour, the entire skeleton, now flashing golden, under the high-temperature roasting, began to show signs of turning a bright red.

Like a piece of iron becoming red-hot after high-temperature forging.

As it turned increasingly red, the skeleton seemed to show signs of melting.

Just as Liang Yuan thought it would turn into a puddle of golden liquid, the skeleton suddenly twisted slightly and a voice emanated from within.

”Stop, boy! Quickly stop!”

In an instant, Liang Yuan’s pupils shrank, his heart pounding furiously!

”Sure enough, there’s something peculiar!”

He hurriedly intensified the flames, urging the spirit flame to burn fiercely.

Not only that, he directly unleashed his Spiritual Power, transforming it into a Spiritual Pulse, fiercely attacking the golden skeletal remains.

”Boom, boom, boom...”

The Spiritual Pulse continuously bombarded, producing deafening explosions.

In an instant, screams emanated from within the skeletal remains, and the entire bone began to melt at an accelerated speed.

”Wait, wait, stop burning, stop burning!”

”Young man, stop burning, I have something to exchange with you!”

”What do you want? I have everything here!”

”I am an Ancient Superpower User, I can teach you the art of immortality!”

”Quick, stop, young man, I can teach you how to avoid flood disasters, I can teach you how to deal with extraterrestrial monsters.”

The voice from within the skeletal remains continued wailing, screaming, desperately struggling, uttering some tempting words.

Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly took out a blue Rune Bone and shouted, ”Sign this covenant, and I can retract the flame!”

”Bone Covenant! You... who are you!”

The old man sensed the blue Rune Bone and instantly shouted in shock and anger.

Liang Yuan did not answer, and yelled, ”Why waste words! If you don’t sign, prepare to die!”

Saying this, Liang Yuan suddenly urged his superpower, frantically scorching the skeletal remains.

The skeletal remains began to melt even faster, with signs of the golden liquid evaporating.

Not only that, Liang Yuan’s massive Spirit Shock continued to bombard it relentlessly.

The consciousness within the golden skeleton immediately panicked, shouting, ”Sign, sign!”

”Stop burning, stop burning!”

Amidst the golden light, Spiritual Power fluctuations appeared, followed by a voice asking, ”What do you want me to do?”

”Acknowledge me as your master, and do not defy any of my orders.”

The spiritual consciousness instantly fluctuated violently, clearly very reluctant.

Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent: ”Unwilling? Then go die!”

Liang Yuan showed no hesitation and intended to destroy this consciousness with full force!

The spiritual consciousness hurriedly said, ”Wait, wait! I agree! I agree!”

The consciousness immediately touched the Bone Covenant, and a Causality Line wrapped around it.

Liang Yuan focused his Spiritual Power on the Bone Covenant and heard the spiritual consciousness swear: ”I, Jin Peng, swear to recognize the person before me as my master, to obey the orders of the person before me, with the Bone Covenant as proof, violators will not die a good death.”

Liang Yuan sensed the Causality Line wrapping around this strand of spiritual consciousness.

Soon, the runes on the Bone Covenant lit up, which meant it was completely activated.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be safe, Liang Yuan took out another Bone Covenant and said, ”Sign one more!”

The spiritual consciousness was stunned and couldn’t help but say, ”Haven’t I already signed?”

”Stop with the nonsense! Will you sign or not?” Liang Yuan asked harshly.

”Sign, sign!”

The spiritual consciousness seemed to understand its situation, and with no other choice, nodded in agreement.

One Bone Covenant or two, signing was the same.

It had a feeling of being unfazed by any trouble at this point.

Now that the second Bone Covenant was signed, Liang Yuan sensed it for a moment and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

These two Bone Covenants were different.

The first was a Bone Covenant inscribed by Liang Yuan himself, while the second one was given to him by Ling Yurong at that time.

Liang Yuan wanted to test whether this second Bone Covenant had any hidden contingencies left by Ling Yurong.

Now looking at the spiritual consciousness within the skeletal remains, it seemed not to notice anything amiss.

This made Liang Yuan feel relieved.

Liang Yuan then retracted the Vacuum Flash Flame, and at this moment, the skeletal remains had already mostly melted.

As the Vacuum Flash Flame receded, the remains began to cool down, but unfortunately, the part melted into golden liquid had already transformed, and the original skeletal form was indiscernible.

The entire human and serpent-tailed skeletal remains were now left with just the serpent tail, while the human upper body had cooled into a lump of golden mass.

It looked somewhat like the Chinese character ’丁’.

Liang Yuan looked at the strange shape of the skeletal remains and suddenly had a thought.

”If these metal-attributed skeletal remains were melted, perhaps they could be forged into a weapon.”

Liang Yuan remained composed; the focus at this time was not really on these remains but rather on the hidden spiritual consciousness within them.

He looked towards the spiritual consciousness, asking in a deep voice, ”Your name is Jin Peng?”

Earlier, when this spiritual consciousness swore, it called itself Jin Peng, and Liang Yuan remembered clearly.

The spiritual consciousness transmitted, ”Yes.”

”Is this your body?”

”Uh... no.”

The spiritual consciousness’s answer was somewhat surprising.

Liang Yuan had thought this was its body, which was why it feared destruction so much.

Turns out it wasn’t its body, piquing Liang Yuan’s interest.

”If it’s not your body, why are you so nervous?”

The spiritual consciousness said, ”Although these remains are not my body, they are the vessel I parasitized into after death. My consciousness has already fused with these remains, and if they are destroyed, my consciousness will also cease to exist.”

Hearing this, Liang Yuan was instantly intrigued.

”Consciousness fused into remains? What does it mean?”

”It’s as it sounds; it is a trick of longevity.”

”The physical body cannot withstand the erosion of time and will eventually decay.”

”We, the chosen ones, upon reaching the end of our cultivation, if unable to pursue physical immortality, can only pursue spiritual immortality.”

”We disperse our consciousness into countless parts, infusing it into our body and bloodline, passing it on to our descendants.”

”We await the opportunity for resurrection. I once had such an opportunity, but unfortunately...”
