627: Blood Essence, Golden Core

Various thoughts arose in Chen Ci's mind, while Yang Dian looked at the meat field gradually turning from black to white, his eyes beginning to shine:

"Indeed, the meat field devours not just earth power, but any easily absorbed energy."

Thinking this, Yang Dian suddenly appeared above the Corpse City again, stomping his foot.

"Dong ~"

With a dull thud, the Corpse City immediately rippled with waves of flesh.

The mental waves attached to every inch of the Corpse City were dispersed by Yang Dian's stomp.

The Corpse City, which had previously given a sense of life, immediately became lifeless.

The flesh, which had been motionless under the suppression of Divine Thought, seemed to gain freedom, beginning to tremble and pulsate continuously.

Uncle Lei, who didn't quite understand the situation, walked up to Yang Dian and looked at the pulsating flesh of the Corpse City beneath his feet, which beat like a heart. He asked:

"What is this?"

Yang Dian didn't rush to answer, but first glanced at Chen Ci.

Seeing that she also looked curious, he then continued:

"We can view the Corpse City as a living entity with intelligence and absolute control over its 'body'."

"Just now, out of fear of me, it suppressed all its instinctive behaviors."

"I just kicked away its Divine Thought, causing it to lose control over its 'body'."

"So, when the body loses mental control, it's like a person losing their Soul, appearing like a walking corpse, becoming lifeless."

"However, the flesh, having lost its mental suppression, instead regained the vitality of biological instinct."

As he pondered, Yang Dian's thoughts shifted again, bringing Uncle Lei and Chen Ci to the core of the Corpse City, within a fleshy cavity.

Looking at the blood-colored flesh sac hanging from the dome of the cavity, expanding and contracting like a beating heart, Chen Ci couldn't help but shiver.

"How creepy."

"It feels like a scene from a horror movie."

No sooner had she spoken than the blood-colored flesh sac in mid-air suddenly stopped pulsating.

Then, roars emanated from the flesh sac, and countless hand and beast claw shapes appeared on its surface.

The monsters inside the flesh sac seemed to want to Breakthrough their confinement and descend into the present world.

Seeing this, Chen Ci shrunk her neck:

"Did I cause trouble?"

Yang Dian chuckled:

"What kind of trouble is this?"

As his voice fell, he snapped his fingers again.

The next moment, the dense, countless blood-colored flesh sacs instantly shriveled, and the monsters roaring inside, trying to break free, also became silent.

"It's merely a zombie nest primarily composed of Mortal Body Realm Middle Stage, with a very small number in the Mortal Body Realm Late Stage."

"As far as the eye can see, there isn't even a single zombie that has reached Transcendent Realm strength."

Chen Ci subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

Although it wasn't the first time she had seen her commander take action, every time she witnessed Yang Dian's power, she still felt a sense of awe, as if looking up at a towering mountain.

'Just how strong is the commander?'

Looking at the endless, shriveled blood-colored flesh sacs, she couldn't help but gently rub the goosebumps on her arms.

'I wonder if I'll ever be able to possess such strength in this life.'

While Chen Ci was lost in thought, Yang Dian had already strolled to the golden fleshy sphere suspended above the blood-colored pool, emanating endless vitality.

"Is this the core of the Corpse City?"

Uncle Lei looked at the golden fleshy sphere, then down at the crystal-clear blood-colored liquid in the pool, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva:

"Why does it give me a feeling of heaven and earth treasures?"

"Whether it's the blood-colored liquid in the pool or this golden fleshy sphere, I want to eat them."

Yang Dian glanced at Uncle Lei and Chen Ci, who were frantically drooling, and reached out to pull out two pieces of jelly-like, greenish gelatinous substance, handing them over:

"Here, chew on some heaven and earth treasures first to tide you over."

"These heaven and earth treasures I picked up from Emerald Dragon Star are a bit special."

"Other heaven and earth treasures melt in the mouth, but these heaven and earth treasures need to be chewed."

"The faster you chew, the more energy is released."

"Besides being able to enhance Physique, they also have the effect of strengthening the jawbone and improving bite force."

Uncle Lei looked at the heaven and earth treasures in Yang Dian's hand, swallowed the saliva that was frantically overflowing from his mouth, and forcibly averted his gaze:

"Forget it, this thing doesn't suit my attributes, I won't eat it."

Chen Ci glanced at Uncle Lei, endured for a while, then took the heaven and earth treasures from Yang Dian's hand and stuffed one of them into Uncle Lei's hand:

"Deputy Commander, why are you being so polite with the Commander?"

Before her words fell, she had already stuffed the heaven and earth treasures into her own mouth.

Her bulging cheeks began to chew frantically.

Yang Dian chuckled at the sight:

"Yes, Uncle Lei, why are you being polite with me? Am I lacking these two portions of heaven and earth treasures?"

Saying this, he looked at the blood pool and the golden fleshy sphere above the blood pool:

"The liquid in this blood pool should be the blood essence recorded by the Tiannan Star United Army, which can be used to enhance Physique."

Reaching out and taking a drop of blood essence into his mouth, Yang Dian then nodded slightly:

"It is indeed a rare treasure."

"However, the side effects are a bit significant."

Saying this, he looked at the blood sacs hanging in the cave chamber:

"blood essence only has the effect of enhancing Physique, but consuming blood essence will cause a mental impact."

"If you can't withstand it, you will die."

"Woo woo woo ~" Chen Ci wanted to speak, but the heaven and earth treasures in her mouth made her reluctant to open it.

She was afraid that opening her mouth would waste the heaven and earth treasures.

However, Yang Dian, who guessed her thoughts, still nodded at her:

"You guessed right."

Chen Ci's eyes widened, as if she didn't understand why Yang Dian could understand her 'woo woo' language.

"If you can withstand the mental impact contained in the blood essence, your mind will also be refined."

Saying this, Yang Dian carefully sensed his Soul space again.

In the place where the Soul resides, outside the star barrier, there seemed to be a trace of decaying Qi left behind.

With a thought, the Spark, which had transformed into a brilliant sun lighting up the sky in the Soul's dwelling place, flickered.

The decaying Qi immediately turned into water vapor illuminated directly by the brilliant sun, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

After ensuring no problems remained, Yang Dian continued:

"Besides the mental impact, the blood essence also carries some decaying Qi."

"After consuming the blood essence and withstanding the mental impact, you must also promptly use the Spark to clear out the decaying Qi, otherwise your mind will be polluted."

After explaining the effects of the blood essence, Yang Dian then transformed his blood Qi into a scalpel and gently cut a piece of golden flesh, as thin as a cicada's wing, from the golden fleshy sphere.

Looking at the piece of flesh, which was almost transparent but still radiated golden light as Yang Dian held it in his palm, Chen Ci began to swallow her saliva frantically.

"Woo woo woo ~~"

Chen Ci, with her mouth full, gesticulated and whimpered, and Yang Dian looked at her amusedly:

"Dr. Bai needs Materials for his research, and I'm recording this with a camera. Other scientists will also review the video documents I've captured."

Chen Ci stopped talking and quietly stood aside, chewing on the heaven and earth treasures Yang Dian had given her.

Yang Dian then turned his gaze to the golden flesh, as thin as a cicada's wing, on his fingertip, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

'blood essence alone can enhance Physique and refine flesh and blood.'

'So what about this golden flesh, nourished by blood essence?'
