The Prison King Strange Flower.

Exotic Treasure can only be created by nurturing seeds through endless slaughter and bloodshed, and then planting them in the perilous and wondrous place of the universe, "Prison".

If used in the outside world, it has no special effect, but if used in the "prison", it can extract the energy in the "prison", recombine the Life Gene, and eventually evolve into a higher life form.

However, the final effect of using the Prison King Strange Flower is not certain.

"So, this is a treasure that can elevate the Life Gene Level?" Lin Yan pondered to himself. "However, its effects are nowhere near comparable to the Beast God's Blood."

Raising the Life Gene Level is extremely difficult. Even for the strongest members of the human race, it would be remarkable if they could increase it tenfold using various treasures.

Under normal circumstances, such treasures contribute to the improvement of the Life Gene Level in an "additive" way, and the further one goes, the more difficult it becomes.

Even the core material of the Origin Supreme Treasure, "Light Web Crystal," is only in its rudimentary form. Its effect on Lin Yan's Life Gene Level is only from ten times to twenty times. Compared to the "multiplication" effect of the Beast God's Blood, it is truly... like a sparrow pecking at a cow's rear end.

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Yan's mind, but he stopped thinking about them, "Never mind these for now, let's first successfully nurture this 'Demon Pill' before heading to the Core Land 'Prison' for an adventure."

Three months later.

"Damn it!" roared a burly, hairy giant, wielding a massive black club. His head had no mouth, only one eye.

Opposite him stood an evil figure entirely in black. This evil figure was covered in Black Scale Armor, roughly humanoid in shape, with curved horns on its head, forelimbs like War Blade, two pairs of blade-like wings behind it, and a scorpion tail trailing behind it.

A pair of blue eyes looked down at the burly giant.

"Kill!" The burly giant's eyes were filled with madness as he charged toward the evil figure.

The evil figure seemed oblivious, a divine light flashing in its blue eyes, as if surging with strange magic.

"Buzz!"

An invisible, ethereal mental force instantly penetrated the other person's mind.

The invisible sound waves vibrated like lightning and thunder, twisting and rippled in the sea of consciousness, and crashed heavily onto the burly man's mind. He immediately Jueyi rumble and the world seemed to spin.

Immediately, an extremely eerie sound pierced the burly man's soul, and at the moment his consciousness was struck, an illusion descended.

The burly man's eyes immediately went limp.

The evil figure's eyes were icy cold. Its War Blade pierced directly into the burly giant's body, striking his Life Core. A blood-red bead instantly rose up and sprang into the giant's body.

When it came out again, the blood on it was even more intense, as if it was about to overflow.

The evil figure's eyes held a hint of satisfaction, then its Blade Wings flapped behind it, and it vanished in a flash, its speed chilling.

"Very good."

Lin Yan played with the Demon Pill in his hand and said with great interest, "I've finally managed to nurture it successfully."

He looked at the sinister black figure before him and a smile appeared on his face.

For three months after obtaining the Demon Pill, Lin Yan relentlessly hunted down powerful individuals in order to nurture it. He showed absolutely no mercy to the chaotic Alien Race like the Prison Race.

However, his human identity is too conspicuous.

Lin Yan was worried that his exposure would attract the attention of Immortal level beings, so he appeared in the outside world as Green Line Devouring Worm Clone, and then extended and transformed the Tai Sui Armor to form curved horns and a tail, and then changed colors.

Unlike other beings, the Prison Race is characterized by an evil aura. Lin Yan only needs to have the Life Puppet in the World Ring emit its own aura to conceal this.

Now, it has finally been successfully conceived.

"Thanks to the 'Heavenly Demon Bell' secret technique System Reward, my mastery of the 'Heavenly Punishment' secret technique has made great progress, which is an unexpected delight."

The strongest Soul Attack technique he currently possesses is the Sound Kill Secret Technique "Heavenly Punishment." This Soul Attack Secret Technique, created by King Tong Nan, can concentrate one's spiritual will in invisible sound waves, making it condensed and indestructible, shaking the soul, creating illusions, and eroding the soul.

Because it is extremely profound, even though Lin Yan has Green Line Devouring Worm Clone, it is still very difficult for him to cultivate.

Soul Attack are extremely complex and difficult. Their power is astonishing, which makes them ridiculously difficult. Even among the King Rank- level, only one out of dozens of King Rank can be an expert in soul attacks.

Lin Yan doesn't even possess the World Power of World Master, let alone Immortal Divine Power. Therefore, it's naturally much more difficult for him to cultivate secret techniques using only Mental Power.

However, Lin Yan also possesses another Soul Defense Secret Technique the "Heavenly Demon Bell." Although it is a defensive technique, it can generate Heavenly Demon Sound Wave to actively disperse those Soul Attack.

This has been of great reference value and inspiration for cultivating the "Heavenly Punishment" Sound Kill Secret Technique, making Lin Yan's current Soul Attack more threatening.

"Now, it's time to go to the Core Land, 'Prison'."

Prison!

Lin Yan understood that if there were any great secrets or opportunities at the absolute core of the Purgatory Abyss, they would undoubtedly be found there.

He had no intention of wasting too much time on the Purgatory Abyss mission and hurried there.

Whoosh!

The disguised Green Line Devouring Worm Clone flew out of the World Ring and headed straight into the distance.

Under normal circumstances, the "Demon Pill," as an important item for the Demon Pill Trial, should be brought to the attention of the powerful figure in Prison Race of the trial after successful gestation. He would then explain the hidden secrets and lead the individual to the "Prison."

However, Lin Yan also knew that with the simple disguise of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone, it would be difficult to deceive Immortal level being. If he used the Life Puppet, although his identity would be fine, the Life Puppet's strength would at most be that of a low-level World Master, which would be a loophole in itself.

To avoid trouble, he had to abandon the idea and head to his destination alone.

Underworld.

In the vast sky and earth, there are traces of mist-like blood-colored airflow visible to the naked eye flowing in the air, as if there is a strong special power.

The continuous mountain range exudes endless coldness, vast and majestic. At its foot, there are blood-red palaces, inhabited by powerful Prison Race creatures, emanating an overwhelming aura of evil.

Without a sound or a sound.

A shadow lurked in the dark underground world, undetectable to anyone. Lin Yan transformed into the shadow and swiftly advanced towards the mountain peak.

"Prison." He observed the distance from afar.

The Blood-colored airflow in the distance grew even denser, with black flames burning from the void, and in the hazy distance, the surrounding space rippled, emitting invisible waves.

From the outside, it looked like a black sea of fire.

But Lin Yan knew perfectly well that it was "prison," and that crossing that "sea of fire" would lead to an independent space-time.

"Um?"

At this moment, Lin Yan felt a strange sensation. He sensed it carefully and found that it came from the Sha Luo Flower.

It sensed the endless evil aura emanating from the "prison," and a faint longing arose in its consciousness.

What's going on?

"Why does the Sha Luo Flower' produce this feeling?" This puzzled Lin Yan.

Wow!

The shadow penetrated directly into the sea of fire and then vanished into thin air.

The quiet, gray mountains stretch endlessly, devoid of any vegetation or leaves, only barren rocks. At the very top of the mountains, a blood-red waterfall cascades down, crashing into the pool below.

Blood-colored airflow permeated all areas.

Brush!

Lin Yan, clad in shimmering armor, appeared out of thin air.

"We've finally arrived. It took me a lot of time just to get here." Lin Yan looked around at his surroundings and frowned slightly. "This Blood-colored airflow is a bit like malevolent energy, and a bit like blood energy. It's a bit strange."

Here, the Blood-colored airflow was no longer as formless as the malevolent energy outside, but had become a kind of energy substance. This energy rapidly flowed into Lin Yan's body, slowly causing some changes.

Lin Yan's heart stirred.

A small, delicate Sha Luo Flower suddenly sprouted from his shoulder, and he could clearly feel its excitement on a conscious level.

"This energy seems to be beneficial to it."

Upon seeing this, Lin Yan couldn't help but ponder, "The Sha Luo Flower' is Plant Lifeform that devours Flesh-type to grow. By its very nature, it is mad and bloodthirsty."

Take the Golden Horn Beast for example; it is a savage and bloodthirsty Starry Sky Beast, a natural characteristic of its bloodline.

The Sha Luo Flower is actually an even more bloodthirsty Plant Lifeform. While the Golden Horn Beast mainly grows by Devour Metal, the Sha Luo Flower grows entirely by devouring Flesh-type, making it extremely dangerous.

"Depending on the situation, the Sha Luo Flower's and 'Jī' have a high compatibility."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Perhaps, we can do it this way."

An idea popped into Lin Yan's mind, and he immediately checked his system, but none of the important opportunities had appeared.

"The system's detection range is divided into regions with a diameter of about 10 billion kilometers. The surrounding area looks quite barren, so it's normal that no important opportunities have appeared," Lin Yan thought to himself.

"In that case, let's plant the Prison King Strange Flower first, and then let the Sha Luo Flower absorb it."

Lin Yan made a decision.

That's right.

He did not intend to use it himself, because the function of the Prison King Strange Flower was to extract energy from the "prison," combine Life Gene, and ultimately evolve into a higher life form.

This process is equivalent to a "rebirth". If it is not Prison Race life form, it will naturally be transformed into Prison Race life form.

Lin Yan must be crazy to do something like this.

He thought to himself, "The effects of the Prison King Strange Flower are not fixed, because it is made by refining the energy of 'Prison'. It depends on the user's absorption efficiency, and it probably won't have much effect on me."

Lin Yan's own Life Gene Level is 50 times higher, and his Green Line Devouring Worm Clone is even higher, reaching a thousand times higher. At this level, further improvement would be a completely different level of difficulty.

"But the Sha Luo Flower' is just an ordinary life form. If we take into account its compatibility with 'Prison' and the efficiency of Plant Lifeform in absorbing energy, it may be able to be greatly improved."

The Prison Race is not divided into races, and naturally, Plant Lifeform exists among them.

The idea of Prison Race's "Sha Luo Flower" stirred a sense of anticipation in Lin Yan's heart.

"To cultivate the Prison King Strange Flower, the more concentrated the energy, the better." Lin Yan quickly took to the air and flew high into the sky to survey his surroundings.

It's very easy to identify here; just look at the depth of the blood-red aura.

Lin Yan began his search in this ancient mountain range.

"Hmm?" Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

"The source of that blood-red waterfall." He saw a vast area of tens of thousands of kilometers in the distance of the mountains, where the Blood-colored airflow resembled fresh blood.

Whoosh!

Lin Yan flew over cautiously, observing the surrounding environment.

Although "prison" is said to be fraught with danger, it mainly refers to some dangerous places, as well as the core "Nine Hells", which are the Origin Land of the Prison Race, from which countless Prison Race beings were born.

There, there are many powerful members of the Prison Race.

"Nothing unusual." Lin Yan rushed into the dense area.

Suddenly—

Lin Yan felt as if countless water droplets were nourishing every cell of his body. This feeling was particularly clear, but since his most fundamental genes were extremely advanced, it did not have much of an impact.

"Kill!" Endless evil energy surged into Lin Yan's sea of consciousness. This evil energy, along with the transformation of his body, lurked deep within his body and, over time, would merge with his soul.

It is precisely because of this special environment that the chaotic Prison Race was born, and every Prison Race creature is extremely bloodthirsty.

"The stronger the desire, the more one's inner strength can be tempered." Lin Yan's heart was as firm as a rock. "If killing is necessary, then killing will naturally follow. How can one be influenced by external things?"

He was neither a soft-hearted nor a ruthless person. He had his own standards of judgment, whether towards Alien Race or humans, and he would not easily waver.

Good and evil.

Right and wrong.

Every person with a strong inner self will have their own choices and priorities.

He delved deeper and deeper into the source, moving ever closer to the core. The endless evil aura grew stronger, but it had no effect on Lin Yan.

When it was almost time, Lin Yan flipped his hand and took out a blood-red bead. Then, a deep blue Crescent Blade gently cut open one of the main vines of the Sha Luo Flower. The Sha Luo Flower expressed its confusion as blood-red sap overflowed from the main vine and seeped into the blood-red bead.

Moment.

"Boom..."

Endless crimson currents swirled like blood, constantly gathering from the surroundings to form a massive vortex of blood.

No soil is needed to grow the "Prison King Strange Flower" because "prison" itself is soil.

The Demon Pill emitted a dazzling red light, like a red sun, and cracked... like the sound of crystals shattering. At the same time, a powerful life force spread out.

An ancient and eternal aura flows subtly between heaven and earth.

Lin Yan's consciousness, which communicated with the Sha Luo Flower, sensed its intense desire and excitement.

Blood-red petals slowly extend from that "red sun," crystal clear like a stone carving, incomparably beautiful, containing endless vitality.

The Sha Luo Flower involuntarily revealed its full form, with its blood-red Leaf Vine stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Wow!

Thousands of slender petals slowly bloom, dazzlingly bright, finally revealing the star-like stamens within.

The fully bloomed Prison King Strange Flower floated up, its petals trembling gently as if breathing. The Sha Luo Flower also began to tremble, creating a wondrous rhythm.

Boom!

The surrounding Blood-colored airflow gathered completely, forming a sphere that Sha Luo Flower!
