The Hundred and Twenty-Third Chapter: Life Transition

Xueluo World, Qingfeng City, night.

After a day of careful exploration and thorough preparation, Lu Yan'an transformed into a gust of wind and left Feiyun Pavilion silently. Moments later, he arrived at an ultra-luxurious mansion covering tens of kilometers, which was also the City Lord Mansion.

The City Lord Mansion is divided into the Outer Mansion and the Inner Mansion. The Outer Mansion is inhabited by ordinary clansmen of lower status, so security is relatively lax. However, the Inner Mansion is much more heavily guarded. With Lu Yan'an's strength, he arrived at the Inner Mansion without alerting anyone along the way.

[Honestly, I've been using Yeguoyuedu to read and follow my books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices.]

Relying on his perception of the fluctuations in cosmic time, he darted into the secluded main pavilion of the Inner Mansion in a single step.

The second floor of the pavilion.

A sickly-looking man dressed in a white robe sat at his desk. This man was Yu Qingfeng, the City Lord of Qingfeng City, and he seemed to be writing something.

Suddenly, his body trembled, his form went limp, and his eyes gradually became vacant. The next moment, however, his vacant eyes regained their light.

"Yu Qingfeng." A voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Hmm?" The Qingfeng City moved and quickly turned his head to look. He saw a black-haired man wearing a white robe standing behind him.

"Owner!"

The Qingfeng City quickly bowed respectfully, his eyes filled with unwavering loyalty as he looked at Lu Yan'an.

"Hmm!" Seeing Yu Qingfeng's expression, Lu Yan'an nodded repeatedly. This Soul Control technique was indeed useful. He hadn't expected that the City Lord of Qingfeng City hadn't even reached the ninth level of the Domain Lord, only the third level. He, Lu Yan'an, had never fought such a formidable battle before. Yu Qingfeng was the first opponent he had encountered whose Origin Force cultivation was inferior to his!

"I'm asking you, do you have Xueluo Crystal?"

"Yes!" Yu Qingfeng without hesitation.

"Where?" Lu Yan'an's eyes lit up.

Yu Qingfeng didn't speak. He took off the Space Ring in his hand and respectfully handed it to Lu Yan'an: "Master, this contains all the Xueluo Crystal I've collected over the years!"

Without banks, almost all cultivators on the Xueluo Continent stored the vast majority of their treasures in spatial artifacts, carrying them close to their bodies.

Because you are the safest person on yourself.

As long as I don't die, the treasure won't be lost.

If I die, the treasure will be meaningless even if it remains!

"A pretty good Space Ring." Lu Yan'an took the Space Ring, and his Spiritual Force instantly surged into it, penetrating its Space Ring to begin searching.

"So wealthy." Lu Yan'an smiled as he began rummaging through the items in the ring. There were large quantities of expensive coins, even some precious weapons, and many treasures packed into box after box.

"Master, inside this pile of coins is a box of crystals. Among those crystals are 10 specially treated Xueluo Crystal. They look the same as the other crystals on the outside, but their internal structure is different."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan'an shook his head and laughed, "As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. You even disguised the Xueluo Crystal and threw it into that box containing a large number of crystals. Someone whose Spiritual Force manipulation isn't precise enough really wouldn't be able to detect it."

With a flick of the wrist!

Ten spherical black crystals appeared in his palm. "Sizzle..." The black spherical crystals in his palm were attacked by Spiritual Force as sharp as needles, and they began to crack instantly. Soon, the entire layer of black spheres shattered, finally revealing the Xueluo Crystal inside!

Blood red!

The color of blood, the color of life.

This is a long, rectangular crystal in the shape of a triangular prism, entirely blood red, faintly transparent, and emanating an invisible fluctuation that feels somewhat like the beating of a heart, wave after wave.

"Is this the Xueluo Crystal?" Lu Yan'an looked at the magnificent treasure before him and couldn't help but reach out and casually pick up a crystal to play with.

"Arrange a secluded meditation room for me. We'll talk about everything else after I've absorbed all ten Xueluo Crystal!" he ordered Yu Qingfeng, who was staring at him with a fanatical expression.

"Yes!" Yu Qingfeng dared not disobey Lu Yan'an's order in the slightest.

"Oh, and by the way, keep an eye on the situation at the Immortal Temple!" As if remembering something else, Lu Yan'an continued to give instructions.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingfeng nodded again, then led the way, guiding Lu Yan'an to his meditation room.

In the quiet room, Lu Yan'an sat cross-legged on a futon.

"Xueluo Crystal!"

Lu Yan'an held the Xueluo Crystal, his eyes fixed on the incredibly magical crystal. "Although I knew about the crystal's amazing effects, it's really hard to imagine that it contains the Blood of the Beast God!"

Xueluo Crystal are crystals formed from the essence of the Beast God's body after his fall; they are all crystallizations of the Blood of the Beast God. Through the technology of the Virtual Universe Company, even one drop of the Blood of the Beast God can be extracted from every 100 Xueluo Crystal!

"Let's begin!" Lu Yan'an grinned, his right hand fingers slicing across his left palm like a blade.

Laugh!

He made a cut, and bright red blood flowed out along the wound. Lu Yan'an took a deep breath and placed the triangular prism-shaped Xueluo Crystal on the wound. This was the method of fusing Xueluo Crystal described in the original work, and it was common knowledge that almost everyone on the Xueluo Continent knew about it!

The method is simple, but putting it into practice is difficult!

"Is it difficult? Let's try and see!" Lu Yan'an looked at the wound on his palm.

When the dazzling Xueluo Crystal touched the wound, especially when the blood touched the Xueluo Crystal, an invisible and strange energy suddenly burst out from the Xueluo Crystal, just like a peerless ferocious beast that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly rushed into Lu Yan'an's body. Lu Yan'an, who was sitting there confidently, suddenly changed his expression slightly.

"Interesting!" Lu Yan'an frowned.

"Boom!"

An incomparably fierce will descended and directly merged into Lu Yan'an's sea of consciousness.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The sounds of battle cries and shouts of mourning filled the air, echoing in his mind. That incomparably fierce and tyrannical will clashed and collided with Lu Yan'an's will time and again. This was a test of will. Will is different from consciousness. Consciousness depends on the strength and depth of Spiritual Force, while will is simply caused by personal belief.

But with Lu Yan'an's willpower, which was comparable to that of Feng Wang, this kind of willpower erosion was nothing to him.

"In the end, we're just rootless duckweed. Even if we can show off our strength for a while, what good will it do?" Lu Yan'an's voice echoed in his mind, "Let's end this!"

His incomparably powerful will seemed to transform into a small black hole, completely swallowing up the roaring wills that came at him!

"Boom..." As the foreign will was completely swallowed by the black hole, the true, fundamental, and strange power within the Xueluo Crystal erupted. Strands of red threads within the Xueluo Crystal frantically rushed into Lu Yan'an's body.

My body trembled involuntarily.

Lu Yan'an's facial muscles twitched involuntarily, his skin sometimes congealed into a carapace, and sometimes cracked and bled. His arms swelled violently, and at the same time, the veins on his arms sometimes became completely transparent, like transparent transistor channels, and sometimes turned pure gold. His muscles also changed constantly.

Pain!

Pain beyond the extreme!

"The pain is so intense!" Lu Yan'an was shocked. Even though he had used his Heart Power to isolate the pain from his consciousness and will, the symptoms he was experiencing were still alarming. His body temperature instantly reached an unbelievable high, as if he were about to be burned to ashes, but then it dropped to an astonishingly low temperature, so cold that he could not feel his body at all.

With a hissing sound, Lu Yan'an's ten fingernails slowly extended, like metal nail War Blade! Then they quickly contracted, and at the same time, all ten fingers mutated, and even the internal bones changed. His entire hand became like a hoof, and hair slowly grew out.

Not only his fingers, but also his arms, legs, feet, and face were growing black hair. In just a moment, Lu Yan'an turned into a hairy person.

However, these hairs quickly retracted and disappeared after a few minutes.

Sizzle...

Black scales sprouted from Lu Yan'an's arms, fingers, legs, feet, and even face, while his entire body grew stronger and taller.

At this moment, his robes were tattered into rags, but beneath the rags, his powerful body and skin were faintly surrounded by wisps of white mist.

Lu Yan'an sat cross-legged and took a deep breath. His chest caved in, and his abdomen suddenly bulged out, as if there was a large balloon inside him. Then the balloon slowly moved upward, and Lu Yan'an's abdomen caved in while his chest suddenly bulged out.

Then, the huge bulge split into four parts and moved toward Lu Yan'an's arms and legs.

The skin was raised and sunken, it looked incredibly strange!

"Phew!" He let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes.

"Is this the power of the Xueluo Crystal?" After enduring that strange transformation, Lu Yan'an began to slowly feel the joy of the life leap between his cells, and couldn't help but become excited.

"It works! It works! Even though my genetic life level has reached 50 times, this Xueluo Crystal still works on me!"

"Now continue!" Lu Yan'an looked at the nine Xueluo Crystal quietly placed in front of him, his eyes filled with anticipation.
