Lin Tian's entire body trembled violently, his gaze locked onto the Black Tide within his perception.

This quantity of blood cell monsters was nothing to other powerful Sea Soul Beast tribes; they were merely ants, albeit tedious ones to kill.

Yet, for him, a Spirit Blue-Veined Starfish that had just ascended to the thousand-year level, this was a catastrophe.

Ten thousand blood cell monsters were charging over like a tidal wave, and he was hopelessly outnumbered.

He was not skilled in defense, either.

The impact of these ten thousand enemies would surely shatter him into pieces in an instant.

No way, I just reached the thousand-year level, I was just about to make my mark, and now I'm going to die here?

Lin Tian instinctively wanted to run, and he did so immediately.

Unfortunately, as a starfish, he was never fast; he lacked any body parts for swimming acceleration and could only drift slowly through the water.

Soon, the Black Tide drew closer, the surroundings thick with the scent of blood and violent aura, leaving him with nowhere to run as he was about to be submerged.

Is this the end?

Lin Tian closed his eyes, unable to muster any resistance against the impact of this terrifying torrent.

He could feel his heartbeat accelerating, the Blue Crystal on his chest flickering incessantly.

Is the feeling of waiting for death really this agonizing?

His plans, his ambition to rule the entire Blood Sea, were all going to be destroyed before these ten thousand blood cell monsters. Damn it!

But just as Lin Tian fell into despair, the moment he was about to be swallowed by the swarm, countless soft tentacles gently pulled him, integrating him into the circle of cell monsters.

The imagined shattering impact never came; instead, he remained perfectly intact.

He was then swept along by the blood cell monsters, moving rapidly toward the distance.

He was now safely nestled within the swarm, surrounded by various blood cell monsters; seeing them at such close range, the visual impact was intense.

Red Monster, White Monster, Purple Monster, and Blue Monster—the structure of each was incredibly clear, yet none attacked him, as if his presence had been pre-programmed.

Around him were mostly Blue Monster; these pale blue discs, Blue Monster, each used their tentacles to pull him along, fearing he might drift from the formation or be scattered.

These few Platelet Monster emitted a familiar aura; they were the very blood cell monsters with spirit attributes he had been searching for.

Lin Tian was confused, but soon, a unique mental connection arrived from the Platelet Monster.

The dialogue was simple and clear: "Kin, move together."

In an instant, all the doubts in Lin Tian's heart vanished, replaced by pure ecstasy.

It turned out that his Corrupted Starfish Martial Soul and Blood Sea Martial Soul shared the same origin; upon entering the Blood Sea, it was no longer an ordinary martial soul, but one following the evolution path of the Blood Sea Monster.

His recent choice to undergo a spirit attribute transformation had perfectly aligned him with the path of the Platelet Monster.

With his own superior self-healing ability, combined with his current spirit attributes and the upgrade path exclusive to Blood Sea Monster, he was essentially one of them.

To these blood cell monsters, Lin Tian was like kin.

And the Blue Crystal on his chest acted like an ID card, its mental fluctuations and aura identical to the Platelet Monster, so they had simply accepted him as one of their own.

Whether it was Red Blood Cell Monster, White Blood Cell Monster, or Lymphocyte Monster, none attacked native blood cell monsters.

Since the Platelet Monster identified him as kin, they even took the initiative to protect him and bring him along.

Lin Tian felt his body relax completely, letting the Platelet Monster pull him along with the main force, his heart filled with both relief and wild joy.

He hadn't just blended into the Platelet Monster crowd; he had essentially exploited the ultimate bug.

He was a Sea Soul Beast, yet he was recognized as kin by the Blood Sea Monster.

Moreover, these were the primordial Blood Sea Monster, which generated in infinite numbers every day—inexhaustible and endless.

As long as he stayed with the main force, he was absolutely safe.

A soul beast had infiltrated the Blood Sea Monster, and now he could do whatever he pleased.

As long as he remained within the main force, there was basically no danger.

If he encountered Sea Soul Beasts, he could reveal his identity; they wouldn't attack him either, as he was a starfish with no meat on his bones.

Sea Soul Beasts had their own food chain—big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp—and they knew clearly what was on the menu and what was not.

Their ancestors had already vetted everything; the starfish was one of the species generally not considered food.

He was safe from both sides, needing only to worry about the corrupted Blood Sea Monster.

But that didn't matter either; his martial soul was the Corrupted Starfish Martial Soul, and as long as he didn't actively corrupt himself, he remained normal in his standard state.

Coupled with his spirit power acting as a disguise, he hadn't exposed the truth of being a corrupted soul beast.

Thus, he was now absolutely safe on all three fronts.

Relying on his spirit attributes and the unique upgrade path of the Blood Sea, he could stay alongside normal blood cells.

By virtue of his identity as a Sea Soul Beast, he could also blend in among them.

If he ever fell into the hands of corrupted Blood Sea Monster, he could instantly transform into his evil state; he was invincible, playing all sides.

And no matter where he stayed, he could enhance his strength through frantic devouring and evolution.

The Blood Sea World naturally replenishes new blood cells constantly, a fact Lin Tian, as the master of the body, is well aware of.

To him, such a massive population is nothing but a mobile treasure trove of energy.

Since they are all brothers, it shouldn't be too much to help them improve their strength, right?

A mischievous smirk tugged at the corners of Lin Tian's mouth as he broke free from his good brothers' tentacles and slowly shuffled to the very back of the line.

His gaze immediately swept over a Platelet Monster in front of him, and then, without a sound, he activated his stomach ability, quietly opening up a massive maw.

Catching the Platelet Monster off guard, he lunged and swallowed it whole, dragging it into his stomach pouch.

He instantly entered a sage mode, beginning the process of devouring.

Good brothers really are something else; they melt the moment they touch the entrance.

Wait, no, he doesn't have a mouth; it's a straight shot to the stomach, so that's fine.

The Platelet Monster possessed no cultivation whatsoever, and the moment it was pulled into his stomach, it instantly lost its breath.

Terrifying stomach acid corroded its body, and in just a few short minutes, Lin Tian had devoured a Platelet Blue Monster.

Feeling the tiny bit of spiritual energy added to his body, he felt quite satisfied, even though it was incredibly faint.

Thus, he immediately transformed into a predator, happily hunting his good brothers at the back of the pack, one bite at a time, enjoying himself immensely.

He knew the number of Blood Sea Monster better than anyone, so he felt absolutely no psychological burden.

Besides, his speed of devouring was nowhere near the rate at which they were generated every day.

These Blood Sea World cells could never possibly notice that their kin were going missing, and no one would care anyway.

Just like that, Lin Tian began to act with total impunity, targeting not just the Platelet Monster, but even other blood monsters as well.

Youth has no price tag, and brothers melt on contact.

Brother, you smell so good!
