The Monster Race is the most numerous immortals and the most special royal and Royal Race Peak Race in the Primal Universe.

Yang Yu's desire to elevate the Gene Level of his Original Body and several Clones to the highest level truly required the strong support of the Monster Race.

"If a Monster Race's Marquis increases their genes tenfold, then a King-level Immortal would likely increase them by tens or hundreds of times. To increase Human Original Body to a Perfect Gene 10081 times, one would need to refine at least a thousand Marquis and hundreds of King-level."

"And this is just based on the current evolutionary efficiency. I really don't know how much will be needed later on."

As he calculated the number of Monster Race immortals he needed to refine, Yang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

During these two processes of refining Flesh and Blood Essence to enhance genes, Yang Yu had his Yuanling Clone experience the entire process and clearly understood that the beginning was the easiest time to enhance Gene Level.

But things get complicated later on.

And this is only the weakest Human Original Body at the Gene Level.

If it were Zhuliuyin Clone and the Demon Dragon Clone, how many immortal Monster Race would they need to devour to elevate their genes to Perfect Level?

"Oh well, at least we have the World Beast to back us up in the end!"

Yang Yu couldn't help but drool at the thought of the World Beast Gene Level were perfect from birth.

Even the immortal Monster Race at the Marquis Level taste so good when they devour me.

I wonder what the World Beast tastes like.

"However, even the weakest World Beast is at the level of True God, and the stronger ones are comparable to Void True God. We are still far from that level of strength."

Thinking of the opportunities and challenges ahead, Yang Yu felt no fear, only boundless fighting spirit.

After reviewing his combat experience and memories of the Monster Race, Yang Yu began selecting a new target.

"Nightmare Island is just a small island on the edge of the Dream Shattering Continent, with a limited number of powerful immortals active there. Among them are Human Immortal groups, and I certainly won't kill immortals of my own faction or race. So the remaining targets are only those Alien Race immortals acting alone, and the strongest King Level Immortal, 'Thorn Blood King'."

Yang Yu pondered the distribution of power on Nightmare Island.

A goal was set shortly afterward.

"The Ice Thunder Marquis, Initial Marquis Immortal of the Alien Race Thunder Spring Race, and the Bloodthirsty Marquis, Initial Marquis Immortal of the Alien Race Zha Shi Clan —both of these are Immortals with special bloodlines. The refining effect should be quite good. Let's hunt these two first this time!"

Having made his decision, Yang Yu left the underground cave again and flew due west.

According to Xuan Snake's memories, Ice Thunder Marquis appeared in Nightmare Canyon, west of Nightmare Island, hundreds of years ago.

However, Ice Thunder Marquis, who was acting alone, was very cautious and used a high-level detector. The Xuan Snake group tried to kill him several times but failed, so they eventually stopped bothering with him.

However, while Xuan Snake couldn't deal with Ice Thunder Marquis, Yang Yu had plenty of other solutions.

Since Yang Yu's location wasn't far from Nightmare Canyon, he simply flew there.

Take a moment to experience the feeling of extreme speed.

Since fully integrating the Fast and Slow Mysteries, Yang Yu's Movement Technique speed is comparable to those of powerful individuals who Teleportation short distances.

Furthermore, with the Original Body's genes now enhanced by 66 times, the foundation has been improved, naturally resulting in even faster speed!

Now, with Yang Yu going all out, his instantaneous burst speed is already very close to the Light Speed!

Enveloped in the Essence of Speed,' it is incredibly fast and quick, whether it's straight-line acceleration or short-distance maneuvering.

This is just the tip of the Iceberg of the Lightning Law.

The previous claim that mastering the Lightning Law would only grant one the status of an ordinary immortal is truly laughable.

Those who achieved immortality through the Lightning Law almost all failed to grasp the true potential of those Lightning Law.

Certainly.

Perhaps a few geniuses once glimpsed the mysteries that might allow them to merge with the Lightning Law.

However, due to the lack of guidance and inspiration, no one has been able to truly explore the potential of Low-level Law like the Lightning Law for countless years.

Until Yang Yu arrived.

Until the Thunder Inheritance was born.

"Whoosh!"

Above Nightmare Island.

A bright Purple Lightning streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed.

However, thanks to the detector's cover, this Thunder was generally undetectable even to the most powerful individuals.

In just half a day.

Yang Yu traversed billions of miles and stopped above Nightmare Canyon.

Although it's called a canyon, it's actually quite large.

It could easily hold dozens of suns.

"Beep~"

"Unknown Immortal aura detected!"

In my mind, a large detector issued a warning.

Yang Yu focused his gaze.

Really.

In a secluded cave somewhere in Nightmare Canyon, the Thunder Spring Race's Initial Marquis Immortal Ice Thunder Marquis is hiding.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Yu moved swiftly, appearing above the cave in an instant, and then activated the ultra-precise miniature detector.

The images transmitted back by the detector are very clear.

This is a strange creature that is 100 meters tall, with an upper body similar to a human and a lower body like a reptile. It has six thick hooves and a scaly tail, and its entire body is covered with blue scales.

"The Thunder Spring Race is said to possess a Sacred Land 'Thunder Spring,' through Sacred Land they can continuously produce clansmen who are compatible with the Lightning Law."

"Therefore, every Thunder Spring Race is born a darling of the Lightning Origin Law, naturally able to control Leidian, and extremely adept at comprehending the Lightning Law, wielding them with immense power."

Recalling the information about the Thunder Spring Race, Yang Yu's interest in them grew even stronger.

After all, Yang Yu himself had extremely high talent in the Lightning Law, and the special physique he awakened when breaking through to the Planetary Level was even the 'Thunder Body'.

This is why Yang Yu can move so fast when he uses the Thunder Body Technique.

However, although every member of the Thunder Spring Race possesses the talent for the Lightning Law, this talent is mainly due to the transformation by the 'Thunder Spring,' which has deeply enhanced their bodies and bloodlines.

Therefore, although the Thunder Spring Race's talent in the Lightning Law is not bad, it is still far inferior to Special Race such as the Mosha Clan and the Zhuliuyin Clone.

However, Yang Yu didn't need the Thunder Spring Race to have high talent; he only needed its bloodline level to be high enough.

It is believed that after being transformed by the Thunder Spring and cultivating all the way to the Marquis Level, the Ice Thunder Marquis will give Yang Yu a pleasant surprise.

All things considered, this was the first time Yang Yu had encountered Alien Race with Lightning Attribute.

This is a good opportunity to test whether refining its Flesh and Blood Essence provides any additional boost to my Original Body.

If the effect of attribute matching after refinement is better, then Yang Yu can focus on different attributes when choosing prey in the future.

This is especially important to be aware of when the Zhuliuyin Clone and the Demon Dragon Clone go out hunting alone later.

After all, the basic Gene Level of these two Clone is already extremely high. If they want to further enhance their genes through the Soul Devour Secret Technique, the stronger the race they need to refine, the better.

With these thoughts in mind, Yang Yu activated the Moyun Prison formed by the Moyun Vine, Space Blockade the hiding place of the Ice Thunder Marquis once again.

Who is it?

The strangely-looking and enormous Ice Thunder Marquis sensed something was wrong when he noticed the Purple Prison descending from the sky.

"Boom!"

The ever-cautious Ice Thunder Marquis decisively Burn Divine Body, and a Lightning Javelin suddenly appeared in his hand.

Amidst the fluctuations of the Time Law and Lightning Law, this enormous javelin, hundreds of meters long, carrying the immense power of a burning Divine Body, charged towards the Moyun Prison.

"Puff!"

The attack, which easily pierced through space, only severed the thickest branches of the prison formed by the Moyun Vine. The Moyun Vine simply mobilized the remaining vines and instantly imprisoned Ice Thunder Marquis within it again.

At this moment.

Yang Yu, his body crackling with Purple Lightning, also arrived in front of Ice Thunder Marquis. "His strength is not bad, but he still has to die!"

"Boom!"

Two thick, illusory soul images shot out from Yang Yu's eyes and instantly entered Ice Thunder Marquis's Consciousness Sea.

The first Annihilation Blade Shadow easily dismantled Ice Thunder Marquis's Soul Defense, while the second Soul-Splitting Slash shattered Ice Thunder Marquis's entire soul.

It was just a fleeting glance.

The prodigy of the Thunder Spring Race, a powerful expert who had finally been born and was granted the Marquis Level, fell in some unknown corner of Nightmare Canyon.

"Whoosh!"

With a thought, Yang Yu instantly refined and absorbed the True Spirit that was flashing with Leidian. Then, the Moyun Vine wrapped around the Ice Thunder Marquis's enormous Divine Body and instantly absorbed it into his Internal World.

"This place is good." Yang Yu looked at the cave where Ice Thunder Marquis had previously hidden. "Moyun, be careful of your surroundings."

After saying that, Yang Yu entered his Internal World and once again used the Soul Devour Secret Technique to begin refining the nearly intact Divine Body of Ice Thunder Marquis.

Because the battle had been too short, less than one-thousandth of Ice Thunder Marquis's Divine Body had been burned.

This actually benefited Yang Yu.

The countless purple dotted lines stretched towards the hundred-meter-tall Ice Thunder Marquis's Divine Body.

"Sizzle sizzle~"

Countless Flesh and Blood Essence flowed into Yang Yu's body along the dotted lines. With the help of the Soul Devour Secret Technique, countless Bloodline Gene deep within Yang Yu's body began to evolve once again.

Half a day later, Ice Thunder Marquis's once tall and full Divine Body had turned into a withered corpse.

"Phew~"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Yang Yu's eyes brightened even more, and he was overjoyed. "Indeed, absorbing the flesh and blood of Special Race of the same attribute is even more effective!"

Concentrating on the changes in my body, I realized, "The Gene Level has increased by approximately 81 times!"

In other words, absorbing a Lightning Attribute Immortal of the Thunder Spring Race at the Early Marquis level is roughly 1.5 times more effective than absorbing Monster Race Immortal of the same bloodline level.

"As expected, it seems we'll have to categorize the refining of Divine Body from now on."

This is unavoidable in order to maximize the use of prey.

However, the Divine Body attributes of most Special Race are not very obvious, so such Divine Body can be handled at will.

Only bloodlines like the Thunder Spring Race, which have undergone special modifications, will show particularly noticeable improvements.

"Good results, keep hunting!"

With a wave of his hand, Yang Yu put away the Cloud Moyun Vine, took out the Thunder Spaceship, and continued flying south.

That area was precisely the territory of the Zha Shi Clan 'Initial Marquis Immortal Bloodthirsty Marquis.

Two days later.

Yang Yu put away the Thunderclap and used the detector to lock onto the Bloodthirsty Marquis below.

"The Zha Shi Clan is an ordinary race from a remote region of the Primal Universe. They are between 20 and 50 meters tall, covered in black scales, and have two horns on their heads, resembling 'goat'. This time, they are also affiliated with the Monster Race Clan and have participated in the Outer-Domain Battlefield."

The space was Space Blockade Moyun Prison, and the Soul Attack was used to finish the fight.

Yang Yu easily killed the Bloodthirsty Marquis of the Zha Shi Clan.

After absorbing its True Spirit and Flesh and Blood Essence, Yang Yu continued his hunting journey.

Those who were not members of the Hong Alliance and were acting alone, such as Army Lord and Initial Marquis Immortal, were successively hunted down and devoured by Yang Yu.

Six months have passed.

Apart from Thorn Blood King, the Human Immortal group 'White Night', and three other immortals belonging to the Human Camp who were still alive on Nightmare Island, everyone else turned into food and ended up in Yang Yu's mouth.

After finishing his hunt, Yang Yu returned to his original underground cave and began to take stock of his spoils.

"This hunting trip was quite successful. I absorbed the True Spirit and Flesh and Blood Essence from eight Marquis Level Immortal and over twenty Army Lord Immortals. Although Original Body soul and comprehension haven't been strengthened much, my physical Gene Level has improved considerably."

Yang Yu, who was comfortably lying on the sofa, clenched his fist tightly, and the space around his fist shattered inch by inch.

"200 times the Gene Level!"

Yes, in just six months, Yang Yu 'Original Body Gene Level increased by 200 times!

This also means that Yang Yu's physical strength has reached 200 times that of Peak World Lord, surpassing even the most ordinary Immortal.

At its core, it's no longer far from immortal.

Even due to the Gene Level transformation, Yang Yu's cultivation Original Body increased considerably.

After all, the higher one's genetic level, the clearer one's Comprehend Laws.

A strong body can also nourish the soul.

When the soul becomes powerful, it can also influence the body.

The two complement each other.

However, this is precisely because the difference between the two is so significant that the effect is quite noticeable.

A difference of three to five times generally doesn't have a significant driving effect.

He released his fist, and the space returned to calm.

"Nightmare Island has been almost completely cleared out. Apart from the Thorn Blood King, who is at the Initial King, there are no more valuable prey left."

Over the past six months, Yang Yu's frenzied hunting has attracted the attention of various forces.

Despite the presence of probes and the disguise provided by the Dark Star Suit, it was unrealistic to completely conceal the deaths of so many powerful immortals.

Among them, the High-level Marquis of the Machine Race, whose detectors were equally impressive, sensed the danger beforehand and quietly left Nightmare Island.

However, the immortal Machine Race, lacking both soul and flesh, was not originally within Yang Yu's hunting range.

The other party wisely left, saving Yang Yu the trouble of taking action.

Besides, a few scattered Alien Race immortals also left this place to venture to other places. These few were just lucky and managed to slip away before Yang Yu arrived.

This also resulted in only 2 of the 8 Marquis-level Immortal killed being High-level Marquis, 6 being Low-Rank Marquis, and the other 20-plus being Peak Army Lord.

As for the other World Lord who died in the aftermath of the battle, they were not included in the count.

Therefore, Yang Yu's accumulated Military Merits have now reached 315.3 billion.

It looks like a lot, but it's still far from 100 trillion.

"Killing an Initial King grants 10 trillion Military Merits. Theoretically, you only need to kill 10 to meet the Military Merits requirement, and then you can move around freely."

Purple Lightning surged within Yang Yu's eyes.

"However, even a mere Elementary King Immortal has already fully comprehended a branch of the Time Law or Space Law, making them at least hundreds of times stronger than High-level Marquis. The gap will widen even further after Burn Divine Body. Therefore, any King-level is extremely difficult to kill, not to mention that this Thorn Blood King's race is also extraordinary. Although he lacks Talent Secret Technique, he can unleash his Bloodline Ability, and his Combat Power is quite formidable when he fights desperately."

Based on the memories Yang Yu had read during this period, he gained a much better understanding of the Thorn Blood King. According to the Xuan Snake's memories, the Thorn Blood King was born into the Thorn Clan, an ordinary race within the Thorn Ring Alliance.

Each member of this race possesses considerable talent, but unfortunately, their numbers are too small, totaling less than a million. Therefore, despite their individual strength, they can only form the Thorn Ring Alliance with countless other Alien Race, banding together for mutual support. This time, they are also nominally part of the Monster Race Faction to venture into the Outer-Domain Battlefield.
