Semi-Illusory Creature

As a naturally evolved Fourth-level creature, the Calamity Great Serpent possessed an extraordinarily wondrous bodily structure.

Its internal energy circulation could be divided into thousands of small energy cycles. These small cycles were connected through the great serpent's vertebrae, each independent of the others and evenly distributed throughout the Calamity Great Serpent's body like links in a chain.

Richard had never seen such an energy circulation structure before.

After conducting simulated research, he discovered that this structure was an extremely efficient energy-storage cycle. According to the great serpent itself, as long as it ate its fill, it could function normally for ten thousand years without absorbing any external energy.

Besides its energy circulation, the composition and structure of the great serpent's scales and vertebrae also taught Richard quite a few things. The composition of its scales could optimize Richard's own bone scales, while the structure of its vertebrae was something he had never encountered before.

However, none of these were the primary gains from Richard's research this time. Compared to his main discovery, they were hardly worth mentioning.

Two months after the research began.

"Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable."

Richard stared at the serpent flesh before him as the pupil of the Eye of Truth in his left eye shifted continuously.

Within Richard's vision, the serpent flesh gradually shed its outward appearance of flesh and revealed its deeper secrets. After seeing through the smokescreen of the Four Elements Rule, he saw a rule.

A rule Richard had never seen in any other creature of flesh and blood.

And in Richard's experience, the only creatures whose rules could be observed at this level were the illusory creatures of the Illusory Dimension. The rules observed were also the Illusory Rules that sustained their existence.

Yet Richard could be certain that the Calamity Great Serpent
