The Secret Hidden in the Third Research Institute

"So fragile."

Shisui, holding Cheng Wenjie who had already turned into a corpse, casually made a sarcastic remark.

Three minutes ago.

With all four limbs severed, Cheng Wenjie was restrained by the Koukaku, and the surrounding Feather Powder sealed off the space, completely depriving him of any chance of escape.

Shisui was right in front of him, the floating Feather Powder forcibly prying open his eyelids, forcing him to look into the eyes of the pair of people in the photo.

In an instant, energy fluctuations from the Kakugan invaded Cheng Wenjie's brain through his eyes.

And thus, it touches his soul.

Shisui's consciousness invaded through that invisible link, and his first reaction upon sensing Cheng Wenjie's soul was shock.

As a Heaven Realm Awakened over a hundred years old, Cheng Wenjie's physical body may have already degenerated due to old age.

But the Soul Energy only grows stronger with the passage of time.

Unfortunately, Cheng Wenjie's talent for cultivation was truly mediocre.

His accumulated Soul Energy was only enough to prevent his physical body from declining.

It is far less effective than the ability of the body to change and evolve through Shisui.

Therefore, the Kakugan energy controlled by the Shisui soul instantly overwhelmed Cheng Wenjie's soul, leaving him powerless to struggle.

Next, Shisui stopped exerting himself and continued the experiment.

Koukaku, carrying Cheng Wenjie's body, sometimes distanced himself from Shisui, and sometimes moved closer.

This will help Shisui test the range at which the Kakugan can be used.

However, if Shisui were to conduct experiments without restraint, it would mean a significant increase in the damage to the souls of the test subjects.

So, two and a half minutes later, the damage to Cheng Wenjie's soul began to manifest in his physical body.

Three minutes later, Cheng Wenjie's increasingly thin Soul Energy was completely depleted.

And so, he died.

Let's go back to the present.

Shisui removed Cheng Wenjie's brain, which housed his broken soul, and carefully preserved it.

To prevent the discovery of any secrets within the base that only those in charge would know.

After compressing the corpse into Flesh Crystals, Shisui planned to temporarily end the experiment.

Having used test subjects at the level of Heaven Realm Awakened, he lost interest in test subjects below the Heaven Realm for a short period of time.

Besides, he's been here long enough.

It's time to wrap things up and leave.

But as he parted the Feather Powder, intending to refine the remaining researchers into Flesh Crystals, a sudden change occurred!

Even though it wasn't the hour yet, the clock tower in the center of the base suddenly started chiming.

"Click click click..."

The gears rotated in reverse, producing a piercing noise.

The hands reverse, and then the hour and minute hands return to their starting positions at twelve o'clock.

"Clang, clang, clang,..."

The twelve bells rang out, accompanied by strange Psychic Energy waves.

Shisui keenly sensed that the Psychic Energy fluctuations contained a trace of the same aura as Cheng Wenjie.

"Did the death of the person in charge trigger some mechanism?"

As he speculated this, Spatial Energy surged around him, and Radiant Feathers and Koukaku He separated him from the outside world.

After making preparations, Shisui headed towards the center of the base.

"Hmm? The seal on the Third Research Institute has been severed?"

Dragon King Hall, the Dragon King, who had been coiled at the bottom of the lava, was awakened.

He sensed something amiss with the seal within the Third Research Institute, which was connected to his Psychic Energy.

Logically speaking, with that old bastard Cheng Wenjie as the medium, even if he were sealed by the Planetary Will, it shouldn't affect the Third Research Institute.

Therefore, the person who likely caused the problem is Cheng Wenjie.

The Dragon King subconsciously wanted to mobilize his Psychic Energy, intending to send a portion of his consciousness to the Azure Nether Ocean to check on the situation.

The dragon's head had just been raised when, in the next instant, the cyan-gold chains tightened.

The iron chains forcibly pressed the Dragon King down, and the dragon's body collided with the rock layer at the bottom of the magma, producing a huge sound.

"Bang!"

The Dragon King knew this was a warning.

With the current strength of these chains, he could easily break free.

But if he forcibly breaks the seal, the consequences will not be as simple as just being confined.

The Dragon King obediently gave up struggling and stopped drawing upon his Psychic Energy.

However, this does not mean that the Dragon King has given up his plan to go and check on the situation at the Third Research Institute base.

A fragment of the soul was tentatively separated.

The chains were ignored.

Clearly, it is simultaneously suppressing the Sea Race, Human Race, and Beastfolk Heaven-Controlling Realm, while constantly monitoring the Planetary Wills of other Heaven-Controlling Realm, regardless of even the slightest energy fluctuations.

Although this so-called "too weak" strength is still comparable to that of a high-level Heaven Realm Awakened.

That fragment of soul fell into the magma and began to form a vessel with the magma.

These magmas were closely related to the Dragon King, so they could certainly be used as materials to create a temporary physical body for Dragon King.

In addition, there is also magma from the Dragon King Hall underground at the Third Research Institute.

Once the meat is shaped, it can directly transmit the magma carrier along with the soul through the special resonance between the magma.

However, this will inevitably take some time.

Hopefully, the Third Research Institute can get through this period smoothly.

Stability is impossible.

At this moment, in the center of the ruins of the former Third Research Institute, there is a tall clock tower with a pointed roof.

A huge spiral staircase on the first floor extends downwards, creating a passageway that was not there before.

For Zhong Ta, the death of the person in charge was like the lock on his home's security door breaking, leaving the front door wide open.

Therefore, even if the door itself and the walls of the house are in good condition, outsiders can still enter directly.

Therefore, in order not to trigger the still intact defense system, Shisui floated slightly using Spatial Energy.

Radiant Feathers and Koukaku, who were around him, would also make sure he didn't touch anything in the underground passage.

The clock tower has a long spiral staircase leading to the underground.

After about five or six laps, Shisui finally reached the end.

The underground space was quite spacious, but it lacked the exquisite luxury of the clock tower above.

There was only a relatively smooth stone wall and a heavy door carved with intricate patterns.

The secrets hidden by the Third Research Institute are probably right behind that door.

Shisui glanced at the door once and walked towards it.

No complicated keys or decryption were needed; Radiant Feathers simply made a light swipe beside him.

The next moment, Space Wormhole appeared, and on the other side was the world behind the door.

Leaving enough anchor points, Shisui took a step out, the Wormhole collapsed and closed, and he had arrived on the other side of the door.

There were no lights in the passage, but a faint light emanated from deep within the cave.

With this light, Shisui, with his Kakugan activated, could easily see.

Naturally, he could also observe the differences between this passage and the one outside the door.

The rock walls here are clearly uncarved, rough, and irregularly pitted.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a reddish or brownish-red rock.

Shisui felt that the rocks looked somewhat familiar.

He continued delving deeper into his memories as he went through them.

The further in you go, the higher the temperature inside the passage becomes.

At one point, Shisui's nose suddenly caught the smell of rotten eggs.

The smell reminded Shisui of where he had last seen that kind of rock.

The volcano is located at the foot of an active volcano that has not erupted for a long time.

Those rocks were clearly oxidized lava flows that had been exposed to air for a long time.

As for the increasingly strong and pungent smell of rotten eggs, it's the smell of sulfur.

Shisui ventured deep into the passage at a considerable speed, and thus his idea was quickly confirmed.

At the end of the passage, there was another door, and through the metal bars on the door, one could see a large expanse of surging lava.

And the prisoners bound by chains on the lava.
