Of course, this is only a part of the Lord of Darkness's private collection. But even the least valuable Special Lifeform among them are beyond Lu Yan'an's current access level.

Now, they are all laid out completely before Lu Yan'an! And this is the power of money, or rather, the power of connections!

However, just as the Lord of Darkness advised, the higher the Life Gene Level, the lower the possibility that Lu Yan'an can utilize it at this stage. Because he is currently at the Universe Level, and the physical materials of those Special Lifeform cannot exceed his own level, he can only choose from those 78 Universe Level Special Lifeform at present.

Some Special Lifeform with high genetic predispositions that perfectly align with Lu Yan'an's ideas may very well be born as World Lord.

"There are a total of 198 Special Lifeform here, all below the Immortal level. You can only choose from these 78 Special Lifeform forms at the Universe Level. These Universe Level Special Lifeform forms are generally several tens of times more expensive, and the worst ones are even comparable to the pinnacle of non- Special Lifeform, almost on par with the twelve peak bloodlines of the Star Sky Giant Beast. I suppose you wouldn't even consider them!" the Lord of Darkness explained.

Lu Yan'an nodded upon hearing this.

"And with your Universe Level strength, don't even think about things that are out of your reach right now," the Lord of Darkness reminded him, seeing that Lu Yan'an's mind was entirely focused on the World Lord Level World Tree material.

"Among the Special Lifeform materials at the Universe Level, there are still a handful of Special Lifeform with relatively high Life Gene Level or rather, unique life structures!"

"First is this Special Lifeform, named 'Hanyuan,' whose Gene Level is about 200 times that of humans. After becoming immortal, its Divine Body reaches a height of about 500 kilometers. Its innate ability is 'Water Transformation,' meaning that as long as water elements exist in its environment, it can merge into water and become immortal. Furthermore, it can continuously create water elements!"

[A book-reading app recommended to me by a friend of ten years, Yeguo Reading! It's damn good! I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu]

Lu Yan'an listened attentively to the Lord of Darkness's introduction. Such a Special Lifeform was by no means bad; in fact, its survival ability among Special Lifeform was among the top tier. He felt somewhat tempted as he listened.

The Lord of Darkness clearly didn't value this, and after giving a brief introduction, he said nothing more.

Seeing Lu Yan'an's thoughtful expression, the Lord of Darkness didn't mind and continued, "The second type has Gene Level about 500 times that of humans, called 'Space-Time Cocoon,' possessing a very strong space-time talent. It has strong control over the surrounding space-time, and after becoming immortal, its Divine Body reaches a height of over a thousand kilometers. It has two great Innate Secret Technique!"

"The first Innate Secret Technique is 'Undying Body.' Yes, that's the one that every Marquis Immortal can cultivate into Undying Body. The Space-Time Cocoon is born with Undying Body, with Spiritual Imprint completely integrated into the depths of every cell. If it becomes an Immortal, this ability will be even more powerful. At that time, it will have strong resistance to both Soul Attack and forced annihilation, making it very difficult to be killed head-on."

"The second Innate Secret Technique is 'Space-Time Domain,' which allows for silent movement within a certain range, extremely similar to the Mosha Clan's Innate Secret Technique 'Domain'! However, this secret technique is a space-time hybrid technique, making it even harder to find than the Mosha Clan's Innate Secret Technique 'Domain'! It's an excellent talent for escaping."

The Lord of Darkness began to speak in detail.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an immediately smiled. He looked up and quickly locked onto the appearance of the cocoon-like life form. That enormous cocoon-like life form, perched in the starry sky, looked so harmless. And indeed, it truly was harmless. After all, who would have imagined that hidden beneath such a massive size was its incredibly absurd running speed?

As if it had perfected the art of seeking advantage and avoiding harm, every single talent of this "Space-Time Cocoon" struck a chord with Lu Yan'an. Time-space talent, Undying Body, and Space-Time Domain —each one was excellent. This Special Lifeform, the "Space-Time Cocoon," was deeply imbued with the perfect philosophy of survival and escape, making it arguably the best life-saving Clone!

Lu Yan'an's original body is at the 50-fold Life Gene Level, but he himself is not very talented in spatial laws, which is bound to be unsustainable in the long run.

Although he could eventually break through to become Universe Master through the Law of Light and Time Fusion, his goal was definitely not simply to become a Universe Master! Of course, this was something to consider later, but the appearance of the Space-Time Cocoon Clone could indeed save him a lot of trouble later on.

This Clone can run, withstand attacks, and has the buff from the spatial talent, making it an excellent alternative. The only downside is its lack of attack power.

The Lord of Darkness seemed to have a high opinion of this Clone, explaining his Innate Secret Technique in detail. "If you simply want to save your life, you don't necessarily need to pursue an extremely large body. This 'Space-Time Cocoon' is perfectly suitable," the Lord of Darkness said meaningfully.

"As for its innate talent of 'Undying Body,' compared to ordinary immortals, it is a whole new level of troublesome."

As we all know, among the immortals, very few can reach the level of "Undying Body". Ordinary Immortal God have not yet perfected the combination of their Spiritual Imprint and body cells. Therefore, they can be killed by direct bombardment, and several consecutive bombardments will kill them.

The difficulty of killing a Marquis- Undying Body Marquis Immortal has achieved immortality is a whole level higher. Every cell of theirs is completely integrated with Spiritual Imprint, so even if they are blasted into dust, they can reform their bodies, and their energy is almost completely consumed.

There are generally two ways to kill Feng Hou who is Undying Body!

One method is forced annihilation, which involves pure energy consumption, continuously annihilating its Immortal Divine Power into nothingness. This method requires an overwhelming advantage and consumes an astonishing amount of Immortal Divine Power, even Burning Divine Body!

Secondly, there is the destruction of the soul, where all Soul Seal are completely penetrated and then destroyed. To achieve this, one must first have a significant difference in strength, and secondly, one must be proficient in soul-related attack methods.

Both methods are extremely difficult.

Once the Space-Time Cocoon becomes immortal, this Undying Body far surpasses that of Marquis Immortal. Coupled with its enormous Divine Body and the escape talent "Space-Time Domain," it's truly difficult to die even if one wants to.

"Can this Space-Time Cocoon improve its Life Gene Level through external force?" Lu Yan'an asked with some curiosity.

Unexpectedly, when he asked this question, he received a strange look from the Lord of Darkness, as if he were sighing. After a long while, the Lord of Darkness spoke, "Any treasure that can improve the Life Gene Level is extremely precious. Even Venerable are desperately pursuing them. And if the Life Gene Level is already high, it is extremely difficult to improve it even slightly."

"If you still have any opportunities left on Mingguang Star, you can give it a try! Otherwise, that's all you'll have?"

"Which one?" Lu Yan'an asked curiously.

"Let's put that aside for now and choose our Clone first," the Lord of Darkness said, changing the subject instead of answering Lu Yan'an's question.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an could only nod and stop asking questions. However, he already had the answer in his heart—"Blood of the Beast God".

"Now I'll introduce this last one."

Lu Yan'an immediately perked up as well.

The Lord of Darkness pointed to a spot behind Lu Yan'an and whispered, "Look there, it's called the 'Time Demon Beast'!"

Lu Yan'an immediately turned around and looked in the direction the Lord of Darkness was pointing. That location was a Special Lifeform shrouded in mist. It didn't appear as large as other Special Lifeform forms, but it was incredibly mysterious.

"The Time Demon Beast is Special Lifeform belonging to the 'light and time' energy category, with Life Gene Level 300 times that of humans. It is naturally skilled in illusion magic; yes, an energy life form that excels in illusion magic!"

These Time Demon Beast are not flesh and blood beings, but energy beings! As energy beings, once a "Life Crystal Core" is nurtured within their Internal World, the Life Crystal Core can automatically release energy and transform into human form! Moreover, as an energy being, it not only can transform into human form, but it can also transform into other shapes, changing in countless ways with ease.

As an energy life form, the Time Demon Beast doesn't even have a soul, so it's completely immune to mental attacks. However, relying on the special Secret Pattern on the "Life Crystal Core" within its body, it can unidirectionally convert Spiritual Force into mental power.

This makes him a naturally perfect Illusionist. Even Lu Yan'an himself is not completely immune to the mental crushing power of those above the Immortal level. However, the Time Demon Beast, relying on the characteristics of energy life, is completely immune to all types of mental attacks!
