209: Sacrifice life, the Shadow Legion is born

“We tried energy induction, high-frequency resonance, and Mental Energy penetration, but all failed.”

“Its essence seems to transcend any physical rules and energy forms currently known to us.”

Qin Wuyan didn't speak, he just quietly gazed at the black crystal bead, his eyes filled with fanaticism and obsession.

After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth.

“Since conventional methods don’t work, then we’ll use unconventional ones.”

He turned and walked towards another area of the laboratory.

Dean Li subconsciously followed him, and when he saw the scene ahead, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his stomach churned!

It was an even larger room; rather than a room, it was a bloody altar.

On the floor of the altar, countless eerie blood-red runes were carved, forming an incredibly complex Formation, and at each node of the Formation, a person was tied.

These people, some wore the Lei Family’s attire, while others were opposition officials from within the Federation.

Now, they were all prisoners.

At the very center of the altar, the blood-red bamboo slip found in the Three Great Families’ secret base floated in mid-air.

“President, what exactly are you trying to do??”

Dean Li felt a chill to his bones, a fear more terrifying than facing Demonic Beasts!

“Do what?”

Qin Wuyan’s face was devoid of any expression.

“If we can’t open the shell, then we’ll feed it and let it… burst its own shell.”

He raised his hand and gently clenched it towards the altar.

“Buzz!!!”

The blood-red bamboo slip glowed brightly, and the runes of the altar were instantly activated, emitting a dazzling blood-red light!

“Ah!!!”

Screams, not human-like in their shrillness, echoed throughout the room!

Every person at the Formation nodes began to convulse violently, their flesh and blood shriveling at a visible rate.

Life force and an invisible energy were forcibly stripped from their bodies, transforming into streams of blood-red Qi, frantically converging into the center of the altar!

Seconds later, everyone had turned into mummies, only their hollow eye sockets staring fixedly in Qin Wuyan’s direction.

And the extracted life and Soul energy, transformed by the blood-red bamboo slip, condensed into a single, constantly wriggling, pure black liquid drop.

Qin Wuyan beckoned towards the liquid drop, and it obediently flew into his palm.

He could feel the incredibly pure, primal aura of life and death contained within it.

This was the sacrifice.

He returned to the container holding the beast core and dropped the black liquid into it.

The liquid merged into the dark green nutrient solution, instantly transforming into a thin black line that drilled with incredible precision towards the beast core.

The next moment, the originally indestructible Seal chains, upon contact with this black line, began to dissolve!

A trace of Origin energy, a hundred times finer than a strand of hair, slowly seeped out from the dissolving gap.

It worked!

Dean Li watched in stunned silence, his body cold, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

Qin Wuyan ignored him and immediately ordered the robotic arm to carefully collect the overflowing dark Origin energy and inject it into a specially designed storage vessel.

Then, he ordered another batch of sacrifices to be brought to the altar.

He wanted to repeat this process.

To exchange the lives of countless people for this incredibly precious dark Origin… Three days later.

In another isolation room of the laboratory.

There was only a solitary metal restraint chair, with a death row inmate bound to it.

He had been sentenced to death for committing multiple heinous massacres of civilians after the disaster.

Qin Wuyan stood outside the thick bulletproof glass, holding a syringe containing a drop of dark Origin energy the size of a grain of rice.

This was the result he had obtained by sacrificing nearly a hundred lives.

“Begin.”

The robotic arm operated automatically, injecting the syringe into the death row inmate’s body.

“Roar!!!”

The death row inmate’s body suddenly inflated like a balloon, veins bulging under his skin, like twisting earthworms crawling within him!

Muscles tore, bones restructured!

On the monitoring instruments, his vital signs data surged wildly!

Heart rate, three thousand!

Cell activity, increased five hundred times!

Energy reaction, from zero, skyrocketed to Grandmaster level!

In just ten seconds!

An ordinary person crossed the boundaries of Martial Artist and Martial Master, directly possessing Grandmaster-level strength!

When the changes stopped, the being on the chair was no longer human.

He was over three meters tall, covered in black keratin, with a pair of bat-like fleshy wings growing from his back.

His hands had transformed into sharp bone claws capable of tearing steel.

Most importantly, the last trace of human spirit in his eyes had completely vanished.

“Release restraints.”

Qin Wuyan ordered.

“President, this is too dangerous!”

Dean Li exclaimed from the side.

“Release them.”

Qin Wuyan remained cold, devoid of any emotion.

Click.

The restraint device unlocked.

“Roar!”

The experimental subject roared and charged towards the bulletproof glass, its sharp claws scratching a series of ear-piercing sounds and dazzling sparks on it!

This special glass, strong enough to withstand a Great Grandmaster’s full-power attack, was actually gouged with deep scratches by him!

Its strength, speed, and defense all reached the standard Grandmaster level.

Except… it had no consciousness.

Qin Wuyan looked at this perfect creation and finally smiled with satisfaction.

He had succeeded.

He had found a shortcut to mass-produce gods.

Consciousness? That thing wasn't important!

No consciousness meant absolute obedience, it meant no betrayal, it meant being able to execute any order without hesitation, to die.

This was the most perfect soldier.

“Initiate Plan B.”

He turned to Dean Li.

“I want you to analyze its gene sequence and find a way to standardize and mass-produce this process using cloning and catalytic technology.”

“At the same time, implant a Mental controller. I want them to obey only my commands.”

Dean Li’s lips trembled, but he couldn’t utter a single word.

From this moment on, the Federation, and even all of humanity, would embark on a path to an abyss from which there was no return.

“You…”

“Hmm?”

Qin Wuyan glanced at him, that look full of warning.

Dean Li ultimately swallowed his words and lowered his head dejectedly.

Now, he had no choice.

From the moment he chose to help Qin Wuyan analyze the beast core, he had already been tied to this out-of-control chariot.

“Go.”

Qin Wuyan waved his hand.

“I want to see my legion in the shortest possible time.”

“A legion of Demonic Shadows, belonging only to me.”

Trial Tower, in front of the entrance stele.

Su Lei sat cross-legged, like an ancient, unmoving stone sculpture.

Li Xue凝 stood by, acting as his Protector, her Protective Aura of ice and frost slowly circulating around her, vigilant against any potential disturbance.
