Metallic Lifeform Liu Li

After the auction ended, Lin Yuan went about his routine of comprehending laws and tempering his will, all while waiting in anticipation for his items to be delivered.

During this period, Lin Yuan and the little fatty Cohen went to dine at a high-end luxury restaurant on Red Flame Planet; the meal ended up costing nearly ten million Universe Coin.

This couldn't help but make Lin Yuan grumble inwardly; the little fatty really didn't stand on ceremony, eating away the equivalent of several manors like the one he lived in with a single meal.

However, Lin Yuan finally got to taste the "Ye Hua Wine" that the little fatty had been bragging about for so long. While the taste was indeed excellent, after having sampled the precious Purple Fire Ape Wine, Lin Yuan felt this Ye Hua Wine was nothing special.

Thirty days later.

The items Lin Yuan had been waiting for finally arrived.

The person responsible for the delivery was a World Lord from the Virtual Universe Company. Even though he discovered upon arrival that the client was just a little Universe Level fellow, his attitude remained extremely respectful, far more professional than the Domain Lord level courier Lin Yuan had encountered when shopping at the Holy Land Mall previously.

"Finally arrived."

In the training room of his manor, Lin Yuan took out the goods he had just received; it was a black briefcase.

After opening it, he found a World Ring and several instruction manuals inside. Lin Yuan picked up the World Ring, sent his consciousness deep within to investigate, and found all three auction items stored inside.

Lin Yuan first read the three instruction manuals.

The first manual introduced some basic information about the Storm Ruins Spirit, as well as how to use its skin.

Lin Yuan went straight to the basic information:

An energy-based life form with no soul, its core is a life crystal nucleus. It is naturally attuned to the four origin laws of wind, earth, space, and time.

The Storm Ruins Spirit absorbs universe energy at an extremely fast rate; after consuming or losing energy, it can automatically recover to its normal state in a short period.

The gene level of a Universe Level Storm Ruins Spirit is 96 times; upon reaching the Domain Lord level, the gene level leaps to 192 times, and after advancing to the World Lord level, the gene level leaps again to 768 times.

After advancing to the World Lord level, the body size of a Storm Ruins Spirit in its normal state can reach over forty thousand kilometers.

The Storm Ruins Spirit possesses two innate secret techniques.

Innate secret technique "Condense": A body amplitude-type secret technique that increases body amplitude intensity and energy recovery speed by 30 times for a short period.

Innate secret technique "Formless": The life crystal nucleus releases energy, allowing it to transform into various sizes and shapes, as small as a pebble or as large as something diffusing across a vast space. At the same time, it can change into the appearance of various creatures, perfectly simulating their life and soul aura.

"Truly monstrous!" Seeing this information, a surge of pleasant surprise welled up in Lin Yuan's heart.

"I can absolutely gestate the Storm Ruins Spirit's gene level."

"And the innate secret techniques are also heaven-defying; the body amplitude can reach 30 times!"

Normally, the upper limit for body amplitude secret techniques is 100 times.

The Golden Horned Beast's innate secret techniques "Strengthen" and "True Body World" are both body amplitude-type secret techniques.

If a Golden Horned Beast cultivates "True Body World" to perfection, it can obtain a 36-fold body amplitude, and when combined with the 2-fold from the innate secret technique "Strengthen," it can directly reach a 72-fold body amplitude.

Of course, only a very small number of Golden Horned Beasts can cultivate "True Body World" to perfection, so reaching a 72-fold body amplitude is extremely difficult.

Yet the Storm Ruins Spirit requires no cultivation; its innate secret technique can directly reach a 30-fold body amplitude.

Later on, Lin Yuan only needs to casually cultivate one more body amplitude-type secret technique to reach the 100-fold upper limit.

Calming his excited mood, Lin Yuan picked up the second instruction manual.

The second manual was about the Zerg Mother Nest, and the information on it was basically the same as what Lin Yuan already knew.

As expected, this Zerg Mother Nest had also been obtained by a powerhouse from the outer-region battlefields.

Lin Yuan picked up the third instruction manual; this manual concerned the metal life form "Liu Li."

Liu Li is a metal life form with no soul, so soul attacks are ineffective against it.

In its normal form, it is a dark golden liquid metal with an extremely tough texture and immense defensive power, but it basically possesses no offensive capabilities, specializing mainly in defense and trapping enemies.

In terms of defense, it can generate armor that covers the master's entire body, or it can fuse with a spacecraft to enhance the ship's defensive capabilities.

In terms of trapping enemies, due to Liu Li's super-strong toughness and ductility, it can envelop enemies within a certain space; ordinary cultivators of the same level simply cannot break through and escape.

The core of Liu Li is a multi-faceted cube.

Just like measuring the level of plant-based life forms like the Mo Yun Vine by the number of main vines, the strength of Liu Li mainly depends on the number of faces on its core cube; the more faces, the tougher the Liu Li and the stronger its defensive power.

Cultivating it with different levels of resource materials will cause significant differences in the number of faces on its core cube.

When cultivated to the World Lord stage, the weakest Liu Li core has only 10 faces, while the strongest Liu Li core can reach 1008 faces.

Of course, the more faces the core has, the lower the probability of breaking through to become an Immortal, and the resources consumed will skyrocket.

Therefore, basically no one pursues a 1008-face core Liu Li; the difficulty of such a level of Liu Li breaking through to become an Immortal is much harder than the Zerg Mother Nest Lin Yuan purchased.

A core reaching five or six hundred is a relatively ideal state; in this state, the Liu Li's defensive power is already strong enough, and breaking through to become an Immortal is not that difficult—if resources are sufficient, the probability is about 60% or more.

Moreover, even if the Liu Li fails to break through, there are only some penalties; as long as there is enough money and resources, it can be restored to its original state and attempt the breakthrough again.

So as long as resources are sufficient and one doesn't deliberately pursue perfection, there is no difficulty for Liu Li to break through to become an Immortal.

After Liu Li breaks through to become an Immortal, it can continue to grow, but the resource cost required at that time would be an astronomical price.

Legend has it that when Liu Li grows to its final perfect form, its core can reach 10081 faces, with unparalleled defensive power.

After carefully reading all the instructions, Lin Yuan digested this information.

The skin of the Storm Ruins Spirit was undoubtedly the biggest surprise for Lin Yuan; not only could it assist in comprehending laws, but it also possessed the powerful body-amplification innate secret technique "Condense," as well as the innate secret technique "Formless," which was perfect for taking risks and exploring secret realms.

To have a body size of over forty thousand kilometers during the World Lord stage was already quite impressive for an energy-based lifeform.

As for the Zerg Mother Nest, Lin Yuan had no way to deal with it for now, so out of pure curiosity, he sent his consciousness deep into the World Ring to inspect it thoroughly from the inside out, only to find that there was indeed not a single Zerg warrior inside.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before taking the metal lifeform "Liu Li" directly out of the World Ring.

A mass of dark golden liquid flowed slowly across Lin Yuan's hand, feeling icy to the touch.

Lin Yuan could clearly sense that this liquid was alive, so he reached out and stroked it slowly, as if he were petting a new pet he had just bought.

Following the master-binding process in the user manual, Lin Yuan slashed his wrist with his finger, allowing blood to flow out continuously and be absorbed bit by bit by Liu Li.
