The new drug materials all came from Liu Yun's Machine Race Base. Using the portal, he frantically transported over rare Cell Evolution Fluid concentrate, which was then diluted once more here.
The Cell Evolution Fluid had no effect on anyone at the Planetary Stage or above, but below that level, it could be used freely. Anyone who took one of the Cell Evolution Fluids Liu Yun had used would be able to reach the War God level.
Before that, though, Liu Yun took the four women with him to the Machine Race Base. It was in a coastal city, where the Iron Armored Dragon guarded the place alongside a pack of beast generals.
The base was beneath the center of a bird's-nest-like Stadium. A portal underground opened, and Liu Yun flew out, followed by four exceptionally beautiful young women.
"Oh my goodness! I had no idea a place like this existed. Liu Yun, no wonder you didn't want to pay us any attention last time."
Yang Xiaolong was the first to step out. She walked along, exclaiming in amazement, while the others were just as stunned. Who would have thought Earth had such a terrifying base?
They leapt out of the underground portal as if crossing the boundary of time and space, arriving in a bizarre, futuristic world. The moment they landed, the scene before them opened up: a Machine Race Base embedded deep underground. It was more than a mere building—it looked like a miracle sprung straight from a sci-fi movie.
The base's main structure resembled an inverted bird's nest, but it wasn't made of natural materials. Instead, alloy that gleamed with a cold metallic sheen was interwoven with transparent, resilient polymers. Sunlight filtered through the transparent dome above and fell across the staggered platforms and passageways, mingling with the interior lights to create an atmosphere both mysterious and magnificent.
In the base's central area, small spacecraft sat quietly on specially designed landing pads. Their futuristic bodies had streamlined shapes, and complex runes and energy circuits were embedded in their hulls, hinting at flight and combat capabilities far beyond their time. Now and then, a ship would soar into the sky, leaving a brilliant trail of light in its wake and inspiring endless wonder. The most dazzling of them all was the Excalibur Brave, hovering silently in the central hall. For now, the Excalibur Brave was also asleep within the base.
Even more striking was the enormous laboratory hidden deep within the base. It was a sanctuary for diluting and researching Cell Evolution Fluid concentrate, and countless batches of Evolution Fluid were produced there.
"Don't worry about all this. An ordinary person could spend a lifetime studying this technology and still not understand it!"
Liu Yun waved his hand as he spoke, and five Evolution Chambers appeared. At the same time, the robots brought over new injections. They had been refined from the active ingredients extracted from Spirits of Vegetation.
The four women had yet to break through the War God level, and Liu Yun didn't think that was good enough. He had to give them strength that defied the heavens. At the very least, they needed to reach the Invincible War God level to keep following him.
"Are these all Evolution Fluids?"
Blacka was the most excited. She never passed up a chance to grow stronger. She went straight to an Evolution Chamber, and its hatch slid open automatically.
"Please enter the Evolution Chamber and use the new Evolution Fluid!"
Without hesitation, Blacka stepped inside. The other three young women followed close behind, each entering a chamber with anticipation and excitement. A soft light came on inside the chambers, gently enveloping them.
"This Evolution Fluid is the latest result of combining the essence of Spirits of Vegetation with Machine Race technology. It'll give you an unprecedented evolutionary experience." Liu Yun's voice came from outside the chambers, his eyes full of hope for the four women's future.
As the chambers' programs started up, streams of warm Evolution Fluid slowly flowed into the four women's bodies. The fluid contained not only powerful life energy but also precise instructions for optimizing their cellular structures. Under its effects, their bodies began to change subtly. Their cells were continuously optimized, while their strength, speed, and reflexes increased at an astonishing rate.
At last, the light inside the chambers gradually faded, revealing the four women once more. Their eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance, a sign of strength and confidence. Blacka was the first to step out. She clenched her fists, felt the surging power within her, and smiled with satisfaction.
"I... I've become an Invincible War God!" Blacka's voice trembled, her words a mixture of excitement and joy.
One after another, the other three young women stepped out of their chambers. They, too, felt power beyond anything they had known. In that moment, the four women seemed transformed, reborn as true powerhouses.
"Fantastic! We all have strength that defies the heavens now!" Ruby cried, her eyes shining with excitement.
"This is all thanks to Liu Yun." Xueni looked at Liu Yun gratefully, her voice filled with respect. The Evolution Fluid was incredibly powerful.
Now they were finally strong enough to follow Liu Yun. He, meanwhile, thought it was time for him to use the Evolution Fluid again. If he remained only a primary Councilor, he feared he wouldn't be able to command respect.
What's more, his subordinates—Tiger King, Wild Ape, Tyrant Dragon King, and Yan Hai—were all at Planetary Stage 2. Tyrant Dragon King was even at Planet Level 3, while Liu Yun still only had the strength of an early Planetary Stage fighter. He seemed completely out of place.
Liu Yun turned and walked toward an Evolution Chamber prepared especially for him. Unlike the one the four women had used, it glowed faintly purple, giving it an air of mystery and nobility. Liu Yun took a deep breath and stepped inside without hesitation.
As the chamber's hatch slowly closed, streams of purple Evolution Fluid began to flow into Liu Yun's body. It contained active substances from the Cloud-Touching Vine, the most precious ingredients Liu Yun had extracted from Spirits of Vegetation through countless explorations and experiments. They held not only powerful life energy, but also the ultimate means of optimizing and enhancing cellular structures.
Under the fluid's effects, Liu Yun's body began to change violently. His muscles swelled, and his bones gave off faint cracking sounds, as if his body were undergoing a complete rebirth.
Suddenly, a powerful surge of purple lightning rose around Liu Yun. It coiled around him like dragons, roaring deafeningly. Liu Yun shut his eyes tightly, feeling the power within him surge and rise.
At that moment, Liu Yun seemed to merge with the purple lightning between heaven and earth. His aura continued to climb, and his strength, speed, and reflexes increased at an astonishing rate. Every inch of his skin seemed tempered by the purple lightning, becoming tougher and stronger.
The instant the Evolution Chamber opened, the aura bursting from Liu Yun sent the four Invincible War Gods flying.
"What! This power!"
The four women screamed as the shockwave sent them flying. Liu Yun rose into the air from within the chamber, then gradually reined in his aura.
"Hmph. Now I can sell the medicine in peace. I'd like to see who dares demand my formula!"
By using Spirits of Vegetation, Liu Yun had forcibly pushed his level higher once again. Earth's life forms should ideally have developed their own domains, like Thunder God and Hong, since that would bring their potential to its fullest.
But with powerful enemies all around, Liu Yun couldn't afford to advance step by step. He had even greater things to do later; he couldn't stay trapped on Earth.
To his surprise, however, the first person to seek him out was He Lan from the Elite Training Camp of the Limit Dojo. It was as if she'd had him figured out all along!
