Chapter 277
With a clear general direction, Phoenix began to purposefully open the wormhole for ultra-long distance travel.
After traveling through thousands of light years and thousands of galaxies several times, Phoenix finally stopped because there was a completely lightless galaxy in front of it. Under the deep space telescope carried by Eye of Baize Deep Space Radar, because there was no light transmission, only a completely lightless area could be seen.
According to the information obtained by Helena, the meteorite came from the lightless galaxy in this direction.
Relying on Light Matter Jump, Phoenix came to a distance of 1 light-day from this galaxy.
With the help of a curvature navigation of 140 times the speed of light, Phoenix began to gradually approach this galaxy.
At the same time, Eye of Baize also began to release Deep Space Detection Wave, and soon the outermost edge of this galaxy was detected.
Li Mu looked at the holographic projection in front of him from the driver's seat. It was completely different from the galaxies he had seen before.
There is a meteorite belt at the edge of the galaxy. These meteorites are covered with black mycelium-like material. All the meteorites are connected into a whole by this black mycelium. The meteorite discovered by Helena comes from this meteorite belt.
As it got closer, Li Mu released a King Cruiser to approach the meteorite belt to collect specimens.
This kind of hyphae that can grow on meteorites in the vacuum of space, God knows what dangers it poses.
Spark Captain's most basic quality in the universe is to be cautious enough, because no one knows what he will suddenly encounter in the universe. He may be eaten by a powerful extraordinary life that suddenly appears, he may be destroyed by a sudden disaster, or he may be defeated by an unknown civilization.
If you want to survive, you have to be careful and careful.
The black mycelium seems to have no ability to fight back and is easily collected by the King Cruiser.
However, just as the King Cruiser was returning, the mechanical arm that collected black mycelium inside the King Cruiser's body suddenly grew dense black mycelium. These black mycelium seemed to be able to directly disappear into the material and grow, and soon spread to the entire ship along the maintenance compartment where the mechanical arm was located.
The King Cruiser activated all disinfection and sterilization methods, but still could not stop the growth of black hyphae.
"Everyone evacuates."
Li Mu gave an urgent order after learning about the situation over there through Blood God Spawn.
"Wait..."
Li Mu contacted Wizard, the last professional Blood God Spawn, through Blood Source Heart Core, "You touch a little bit of mycelium and bring it back."
Blood God Spawn, who was not afraid of life and death, quickly collected a little bit of black mycelium, turned it into a streak of blood and left the King Cruiser. He continued to cast spells in the void of the universe to teleport, and soon he was close to Phoenix and stopped in the universe.
Li Mu activates Abyss Eye and uses the True Eye skill to look at these hyphae.
These appear to be life, but no consciousness is seen.
Li Mu called Helena, He temporarily lent Abyss Eye's fire to Helena. Like Rei Ayanami, Helena has become his family member who can borrow his fire. He tried it, and Helena can use Abyss Eye to extend Abyss Heart's ability to lock the distance.
Helena's sight penetrates Phoenix, locks on the black mycelium and activates Abyss Heart.
At this moment, the black hyphae seemed to become life, and she heard what the black hyphae were thinking.
These black hyphae are indeed not alive, because they are the body hair shed by a super life form. Because of the special ability of this super life form, these body hairs will continue to grow after being detached. The entire galaxy ahead has been covered by black hyphae.
The reason for the covering is simple, this super being likes cold and lightless environments.
Therefore, the black hyphae isolates the light of the surrounding galaxies, and at the same time acts as an insulation layer to lock in the low temperature within the galaxy.
"How powerful can a super life be?"
Li Mu asked.
"I don't know..."
Helena shook his head and said, "We only know so much about these black hyphae, but I can roughly estimate based on the strength of the black hyphae that this super life form Transcendence Level will not be lower than LV70, which is a seventh-level life form."
Li Mu nodded and began to think about what to do next.
LV70, sounds like an easy solution.
After all, he even killed one of LV80's Star River Divine Spider with the help of Abyss Eye.
But you must know that there is a super life in the galaxy ahead.
Super life forms in the universe refer specifically to those extremely large life forms.
For example, planet life evolved directly from a living planet, such as a huge extraordinary creature that can swallow a star in one bite, or even a behemoth that can coil around a galaxy or even a star field. These existences are all a type of super life.
Also at LV70, super beings can easily crush extraordinary beings.
It's easy to fight across levels, so the actual combat power of a LV70 super life might be between LV70 and LV99.
But it is absolutely impossible to reach LV100, because LV100 is an extremely special obstacle. No matter whether a life is an extraordinary life like a human being or a super life like a star life before LV100, it will inevitably evolve into a super life after reaching LV100.
Therefore, without knowing the strength of the super beings ahead, Li Mu would never let Phoenix personally go into battle.
Activate Hull Fusion, Li Mu and lock Blood God Spawn from the air, which has begun to be parasitized by black hyphae.
Nirvana Flame flashed in the void, fell on Blood God Spawn and began to burn.
The black mycelium was quickly burned to ashes. Although using Nirvana Flame was very weak, but imagine the mycelium that is several light years long, wide and tall, God knows how many Nirvana Flame it would take to burn it all, so Li Mu put away Nirvana Flame and started experimenting with Sun God Flame.
Golden Crow Visualization Technique is divided into six Golden Crow Secondary Soul, and you can initially master Sun God Flame.
When Li Mu was in Asylum, six Golden Crow Secondary Souls were separated in a false state.
Although he returned to his original form after leaving Asylum, it was of great help to his Golden Crow Visualization Technique practice. Coupled with the Mental Power feedback from countless Blood God Spawn, he has already separated out the sixth Golden Crow Secondary Soul in the past few months of Phoenix pioneering.
Sun God Flame's healing power is far inferior to that of Nirvana Flame, but its lethality is much better than Nirvana Flame's.
The golden flame, as warm as the sun, quickly approached the remaining black mycelium on Blood God Spawn's body. However, this time the black mycelium was intact, perfectly blocking the radiation of the sun and the heat of close-range combustion.
These black hyphae that block the sunlight for super beings obviously have super strong resistance to sunlight.
Li Mu continued the experiment, and Super Fierce Fire Curse, ordinary Fierce Fire, and Fiendfyre were unable to suppress the black mycelium.
But it doesn't matter, he still has more than a thousand Blood God Spawn.
These Blood God Spawn cover more than two hundred extraordinary professions. In addition to the unified blood now, the extraordinary power they master also includes the professional power before becoming Blood God Spawn. Various extraordinary skills come into play in turn. In the end, the most effective against black hyphae is the undead Wizard.
If Richardson were here, it would be very easy to deal with these black hyphae.
But Richardson is still at Abyss Giant Star, and his undead Wizard career Blood God Spawn is only at LV46.
Li Mu After much thought, the only thing I can count on is Ghost Knight Order.
But Crystal Skull is gone, and this is not Abyss Giant Star. If Ghost Knight Order finds something wrong and turns back, he will not only be unable to use Ghost Knight Order to explore the galaxy ahead, but will even suffer heavy losses as a result.
According to his original plan, he planned to make all Ghost Riders into Blood God Spawn to fully master this power.
But now it seems that he needs to solve this hidden danger in advance.
If you want to take shortcuts, you have to take risks.
Li Mu logged in to Spark Network, and it took a few minutes to log in.
And there is still a delay, but fortunately the express delivery service can be maintained, but the express delivery cost is very shocking.
After some shopping, Li Mu bought a demon scroll for five million HuoZhong Source Coin.
Li Mu releases a Golden Crow Secondary Soul, and uses Disguise Talent to turn Golden Crow Secondary Soul into Crystal Skull.
His Disguise Talent is not only great at disguising living things, it is also effective at disguising dead things.
He can even disguise the soul contract between Crystal Skull and Ghost Knight Order. Of course, this soul contract is just an appearance. If Ghost Knight Order has any suspicion and fights back, he will immediately see through that the soul contract no longer exists.
In fact, Crystal Skull no longer exists, and the soul contract should have been automatically terminated long ago.
Just because Ghost Knight Order and Crystal Skull are not in the same world, the soul contract is only in an interrupted state, just like the network is disconnected. If you want to completely destroy the network, you must destroy the network receiver that is part of the contract.
But Ghost Knight Order didn't know that Crystal Skull was destroyed. If it wasn't destroyed, unilaterally destroying the contract would be equivalent to committing suicide.
So as long as they can deceive Ghost Knight Order, they will never dare to rebel.
Li Mu holds Crystal Skull and enters Mirror Void through the entrance opened by Void Ring.
The moment he came in, Ghost Knight Order felt that the soul contract was activated.
Li Mu disguised himself as Belloc and took Helena Apparition to the underground residence of Ghost Knight Order in the Duke's Palace.
"Jones..."
Li Mu waved to the leader of Ghost Knight Order.
The ghost knight Jones, shrouded in armor, teleported to Li Mu to wait for orders.
"I need you to sign a new contract."
Li Mu groped for Crystal Skull and said, "I already know why the church is targeting Brandon Family, because this Crystal Skull seals the eye of a true god. I need you to sign a new contract. Now go and summon all the ghost knights."
Jones looked at Crystal Skull, sensing the soul contract, and silently stepped back.
Soon all the ghost knights had lined up, and Li Mu felt relieved.
Just now, he used Helena to observe what Jones was thinking. Whenever Jones had any doubts, he would find a way to resolve them as soon as possible. Fortunately, although Jones was not loyal, his awe for Crystal Skull was rooted in his thoughts.
Li Mu opened the devil's contract and started to sign a new contract with Ghost Knight Order with himself as the main one.
The signing of the contract ended, and Li Mu regained control over the life and death of Ghost Knight Order.
"All Ghost Riders follow me."
Li Mu put away the fake Crystal Skull. With the help of Void Ring, he opened the channel and walked out first.
Jones took Ghost Knight Order away from Mirror Void. Looking at the void of the universe with no solid ground under his feet, looking at the countless shining stars in the distance, looking at the countless black hyphae not far away and Phoenix next to him, he had countless questions in his heart that he didn't know whether he should ask.
"Target forward attack..."
Li Mu pointed at the galaxy ahead and said, "There may be huge life forms exceeding tens of thousands of kilometers in size in the darkness ahead. Transcendence Level is above LV70, and its combat power level may be between LV70 and LV99, so try to be careful."
The eyes behind the Jones ghost mask almost popped out. He felt that the new Duke Brandon was simply crazy.
Although Ghost Knight Order is powerful, after the number of people has been greatly reduced, it can no longer compete with extraordinary professionals above LV80. At most, it can only compete with one or two in a short period of time. The prerequisite is that the enemy does not exceed LV85.
Now it is suspected that there is an extraordinary life of LV99. Is the whole Ghost Knight Order committing suicide?
Just when he was about to raise a question, Li Mu had already taken out the devil's contract and Crystal Skull at the same time and looked at Jones coldly.
"Everyone get on their mounts..."
Jones endured the murderous intent and merged his voice into Mental Power, spreading it in the void and shouting angrily.
Two-headed ghost dogs immediately appeared next to all the ghost knights. They turned over and rode on this ghost creature that was larger than a war horse. All two-headed ghost dogs appeared at their feet in an instant. Two haloes were the ghost halo of the ghost knights and the void halo controlled by the two-headed ghost dogs.
These small haloes converge in series with each other, and the entire Ghost Knight Order instantly becomes a whole.
The two-headed ghost dog started running, leading the ghost knight through the void and approaching the meteorite belt.
Li Mu casts Hull Fusion again, followed by Ghost Knight Order.
When the situation is really critical, he can still lead all the ghost knights to hide in Mirror World. Mirror World alone may not be able to deceive super beings, but Asylum can definitely isolate almost all probes below LV100.
Less than a kilometer away from the meteorite belt, Jones instantly commanded all ghost knights to perform ghost summoning.
The two-headed ghost dog opened its mouth, and various ghost creatures sealed in the ghost space in its belly swarmed out like a tide, forming a ghost army of tens of thousands Transcendence Level around LV40, launching a fearless charge towards the meteorite belt ahead.
Wherever the ghost army passed, the black hyphae were swept away.
But for a galaxy with a diameter of several light-years, cleaning up all the black hyphae will not happen overnight.
Even if you move forward in a straight line, it will take hundreds of years to see the true appearance of the super life form.
This progress was completely unbearable. Li Mu immediately ordered Ghost Knight Order to personally go into battle and continuously teleport close to the core of the galaxy. In desperation, Jones could only put away his thoughts as a grinder, take back the ghost army and personally go into battle to continuously teleport through space.
A few days later, Li Mu followed Ghost Knight Order into the part of the galaxy close to the core.
Unexpectedly, there were fewer black hyphae in front.
Li Mu activated Abyss Eye and could already see the edge of super life. He continued to move forward. Soon he had seen the true appearance of super life. It was a sphere-shaped creature covered in black hyphae. It seemed that it was not a life of flesh and blood but some kind of fungus life?
