Microbrain

No, this was no ordinary crystal...

Its crystalline, translucent surface was covered in folds and fissures, while countless Crystal Lines intertwined within, like a densely packed Neural Network.

If the area where the Monster Mastermind resided was like a colossal brain hundreds of meters in diameter,

then this crystal fragment was like the remains of a walnut-sized piece of brain tissue!

Moreover, when Meng Chao stared deeply at it, magnificent radiance glimmered within it, as though it had slightly opened a nonexistent eye and collided with Meng Chao's gaze.

Meng Chao felt a Bio-current surge through every cluster of nerve endings in his body.

He blurted out, "This is a Crystallized Nerve Ball—and it's still alive!"

Whether Transcendents or super beasts, after being nourished by the essence of sun and moon, their Spiritual Energy accumulated day after day within their bodies and had a certain chance of permeating their internal organs, limbs, bones, and blood vessels, gradually giving their flesh-and-blood bodies a metallic texture, even a semi-translucent crystalline sheen.

This process was called "crystallization," or simply "crystalization."

The functions of organs after "crystalization" were greatly enhanced, allowing them to unleash abilities tenfold or even a hundredfold greater than ordinary organs.

This was the source of a Transcendent's power.

For example, Meng Chao's newly attained "Five-Star Spirit Vision Realm" involved condensing Spiritual Energy into the retina, lens, and optic nerves, causing all these visual organs to "crystallize."

Normally, when Transcendents reached the "Three-Star Spirit Convergence Realm" at the peak of the Earth Realm, or monsters became Level Three Nightmare Beasts, their organs gradually began to "crystallize."

The first parts to "crystallize" were often the bones.

Many Transcendents and Nightmare Beasts could use "crystalization" to temper their bones until they were hard as iron, unleashing overwhelmingly powerful force.
