"Sizzle~"
The countless crystal snakes, bewildered, surveyed the surroundings, but could no longer sense the presence of the 'intruder'.
"These guys look stupid, they don't seem to be normal life forms." Luo Ao had also transformed into a small crystal snake to successfully blend into the main group.
"Although they seem silly, these guys have quite a bit of life force." Luo Ao could sense that even the smallest crystal snakes were at the Universe Level, and the giant crystal snakes, which were tens or even hundreds of meters long, had life force comparable to the Domain Lord Level and World Lord Level.
However, these creatures are not very intelligent. Luo Ao transformed into a small crystal snake right in front of them without being detected and was still able to blend in among them safely.
"What exactly are these life forms? Energy Lifeform, rock-based life forms?" Luo Ao could sense that these creatures were definitely not flesh-and-blood life forms; their life structures were completely different.
"I wonder what kind of secret this holds." Luo Ao, transformed into a small crystal snake, seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but in reality, he was moving in a fixed direction, because the energy in that direction was significantly stronger than in other directions.
Just how big is this crystal wall?
As Luo Ao continued forward along the crystal wall, he occasionally discovered one or two enormous creatures that had strayed into this place. They seemed to be Ancient Species monsters from the outside world, but without exception, they were all killed by these crystal snakes, and their bodies began to undergo strange changes, developing into the same structure as the crystal wall.
"Could it be that the crystal wall here wasn't this large at first, and that it evolved gradually?" Luo Ao continued to advance along the crystal wall that emitted a strange light.
The crystal wall stretched so far that Luo Ao even suspected that it covered the entire underground world.
At the same time, the number of crystal snakes appearing here is in the hundreds of millions. Apart from the cave where Luo Ao is, there are also a large number of such creatures in other directions.
If there's a blank space, it's just 'asleep,' and these things will come back to life once an outsider breaks in.
The further Luo Ao went, the more terrifying the crystal snakes he encountered became. Not only did he frequently encounter giant crystal snakes at the World Lord Level, but he also occasionally came across some behemoths whose aura rivaled that of ' Immortal beings'. However, the physical structure of these behemoths was not simply a matter of thousands or tens of thousands of meters; they were at least hundreds or thousands of kilometers long, stretching as far as the eye could see.
In this underwater world, Luo Ao had only been traveling for half a day when he discovered countless crystal snakes. There were many crystal giant snakes at the World Lord Level, and he had even found five or six crystal dragons with an aura comparable to Immortal.
This was still in a section with some 'blank spots' where many of these creatures were in a 'dormant state'. Fortunately, Luo Ao was currently using Mirror Prism Clone, which allowed him to completely disguise himself as one of these creatures; otherwise, even a hundred lives wouldn't have been enough to deal with him.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Ao had traveled for three or four days, and the aura he sensed was becoming increasingly stronger.
"What is that?" The crystal snake that Luo Ao had transformed into suddenly looked up into the distance.
In the distance, faint, cold blue light flickered.
Because of the distance, Luo Ao couldn't see clearly either.
"This should be it." Luo Ao rushed forward quickly, but he maintained the vital signs of a crystal snake and dared not reveal his true form, otherwise the other crystal snakes here would tear him to shreds in an instant.
"What is this?" What caught Luo Ao's eye was a crystal that shimmered with a peculiar light. The crystal had dense threads on it, seemingly connecting all the crystal walls.
Below this crystal was a small pool filled with a thick, blue liquid.
"This liquid?" Luo Ao instinctively sensed the extraordinary nature of the liquid. The crystal snake he had transformed into quickly waded into the water and began to gulp it down.
Of course, the Mirror Prism Race, which actually belong to Energy Lifeform, simply transferred all of this viscous liquid into their Internal World.
"These liquids must be the source of all the mysteries." Luo Ao could sense that these liquids contained extremely terrifying energy.
Within his Internal World, the Yan God Race Clone retrieved a special metal container and began to collect the liquid. Outside, the blue liquid in the pool was visibly decreasing, and the water level was steadily dropping. Even the special crystal above the pool had dimmed considerably.
"Let's test the effects of this blue liquid." Luo Ao had a hunch that this blue liquid was likely the legendary ' Ancient Saint Blood,' but he didn't know why it was present in such large quantities in this place.
However, this place is indeed extremely strange and dangerous. If it weren't for the fact that they were disguised as members of the crystal snakes, even Immortal God probably wouldn't have been able to get here.
"Begin absorption!"
The mysterious blue liquid instantly began to merge into the Yan God Race Clone. Suddenly, an invisible and strange energy burst forth from the blue liquid, like a peerless ferocious beast that had been suppressed for a long time, rushing into Luo Ao's body. Luo Ao Yan God Race Clone trembled and his face became extremely ferocious.
"What a powerful mental impact!" Luo Ao gritted his teeth.
"Boom!"
An incomparably fierce will descended and directly merged into his sea of consciousness.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The shouts and roars of battle filled the air, echoing in Luo Feng's mind. That incomparably fierce and tyrannical will clashed with Luo Feng's will time and time again. This was a test of pure will... Will is different from consciousness. Consciousness depends on the strength and depth of Spiritual Force, while will is simply caused by personal belief.
Luo Ao had previously had some exchanges with Luo Feng, the most crucial part of which was the content of the ancient texts related to the improvement of mental state that were left over from the history of Blue Star.
Although he hadn't explicitly chosen one of the three paths of mindset, he did have some insights into the mind and will. At this moment, he wanted to resist these terrifying Will Impact, and although it was painful, he could still bear it.
"To hone your will? Then let's do it!" Luo Ao was not afraid of such a challenge.
While Luo Ao was battling that fierce will, his body instinctively began to evolve once again.
It should be noted that his body, being a member of the Yan God Race, was already at the 12-fold Gene Level, and it was still steadily improving, which was truly incredible.
Or perhaps, this blue liquid really is the so-called ' Ancient Saint Blood,' possessing incredible power!
As Luo Ao resisted the Will Impact, various strange changes also occurred on his body from time to time.
His muscles twitched involuntarily, his skin sometimes congealed into a strange crystalline keratin layer, sometimes ruptured and bled profusely, and sometimes a third eye appeared on his forehead.
The compatibility between the Yan God Race Clone avatar and this blue blood doesn't seem to be very high. Even though he has the mysterious energy from the ' Myriad Worlds Pearl ' constantly modifying the Yan God Race Clone to adapt to this blue blood, it's still not easy to achieve a deep fusion between the two in a short period of time.
"Something's not right." Luo Ao also noticed that although he could still resist the Will Impact, the amount of blue liquid that his Yan God Race Clone had truly refined and fused seemed to be quite small.
"Absorbing just this little bit is not enough for my body to undergo a transformation." It becomes increasingly difficult to improve one's Life Gene Level. His body's Gene Level was already 12 times higher than before, and the little bit of blue blood he just absorbed is completely insufficient for him to undergo another transformation.
"Perhaps we can study that peculiar crystal outside." Luo Ao's gaze instantly focused on the outside world, where a peculiar crystal was suspended above the pool.
The crystal was of unknown origin, but it seemed to be commanding the mutated crystal snakes. However, after careful observation, Luo Ao discovered that it was indeed just an inanimate object without independent consciousness.
It's no wonder that those inanimate objects, which govern the collective consciousness of the crystal snakes, are so stupid and only possess a pitifully small number of basic instincts.
"Stop!" Luo Ao controlled the Mirror Prism Clone outside to continue drawing the remaining liquid from the pool.
He had previously been worried that too much liquid would disappear, causing an uncontrollable mutation. However, now that he realized he couldn't 'digest' the liquid in a short time, he naturally couldn't worry about that anymore and focused on storing these treasures first.
"Gurgle~gurgle"
As the liquid in the pool dwindled, until it was completely empty and not a single drop of blue liquid remained, the peculiar crystal suspended in the air dimmed completely and fell to the ground, where it was caught by Luo Ao.
At the same time, Luo Ao also noticed that the large number of crystal snakes in the distance had all instantly fallen into a 'sleep' state, stopping all their movements almost at the same instant, as if someone had suddenly cast a large-scale ' Time Stop '.
"It seems there's no immediate danger." Luo Ao observed this scene thoughtfully.
This peculiar crystal, connected to the pool below and supplying the crystal snakes with its energy, has now lost its power supply, causing the crystal snakes to immediately lose their ability to move.
"It seems these creatures are indeed not normal life forms." Normal life forms, whether rock-based or Energy Lifeform, would not exhibit such a bizarre situation.
"What use is this crystal?" Luo Ao asked with a curious look, examining the unusual crystal.
Putting everything else aside, its ability to control such a massive number of crystal snakes is not to be underestimated, and it also has a close connection with that blue blood.
"Perhaps this thing can serve as a link."
