123: Crazy Chen Xuantong

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

At the edge of the testing ground, several energy monitors, flashing red, instantly overloaded and burst into brilliant sparks!

The sturdy alloy floor groaned under the strain, cracking inch by inch!

The lenses of the cameras placed throughout the venue exploded one after another!

"Pfft!"

In the control room, several researchers with weaker mental strength immediately spat out fresh blood and collapsed to the ground!

"Hold on! Maximize power! Stabilize the shield at all costs! Stabilize it!!"

The engineer in charge of the energy shield screamed hoarsely, his hands a blur on the control panel.

The massive energy shield's light surged, emitting an ear-splitting hum, struggling to resist the sudden, terrifying energy tide from 146 Gold-level life forms simultaneously beginning their mutation!

In the center of the arena, the mutation had begun!

First were the ordinary Gold-level Xenomorphs on the outermost periphery, which were relatively weaker.

Under their dark golden carapaces, it was as if molten lava flowed; the surface of their carapaces instantly turned fiery red, emitting a "sizzling" sound of scorching!

Muscles inflated and twisted wildly as if blown up, and bones made a grating, "cracking" sound, while their bodies rapidly expanded at a visible rate!

They rolled and roared in pain, their tails furiously lashing the ground, leaving deep marks.

Violent energy surged through their bodies, and huge, pulsating energy tumors constantly bulged from their surfaces, as if they could explode at any moment!

Next were the more powerful elite Xenomorphs.

Their mutations were even more intense and rapid!

On their dark golden carapaces, mysterious and complex dark purple or ethereal blue patterns, as if naturally formed, began to appear!

These patterns flowed like living things, exuding a heart-pounding aura of rules!

Some Xenomorphs' bodies began to crystallize with frost, others ignited with eerie green flames, and some became semi-transparent, like ghosts! In their roars, the pain remained, but there was also a greater sense of primitive and powerful strength!

However, the most striking were the two behemoths at the core of the Xenomorph Legion... the Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien and the Abyssal Poison Earth-Rending Alien!

The Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien's pair of bone wings, like giant scythes, erupted with dazzling silver-white light the moment they swallowed the potion! At the edges of the bone wings, space began to twist and fold, emitting a hair-raising "hissing" sound, as if fragile cloth was being cut by an invisible sharp blade!

Dense, pitch-black spatial cracks spread and vanished around its wings like a spiderweb!

Its already massive body expanded again; the silver-white bone wings became even larger and more ferocious, each wing blade seemingly composed of the purest spatial fragments, cutting through reality!

A sharp, extremely keen spatial rule power swept out from its body like a storm, making the surrounding space unstable, as if it could collapse at any moment!

"Space! It's the Space Cutting Rule! Oh my god! The concentration is soaring! S-rank! No! It's still rising! Quick! Lock onto it! Analyze its energy structure!!"

Chen Xuantong's voice had completely changed, becoming as sharp as a ghost's wail.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the energy spectrum on the screen representing the Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien; the curve representing spatial energy was vertically skyrocketing at a terrifying speed, almost breaking through the instrument's upper limit!

Meanwhile, the Abyssal Poison Earth-Rending Alien presented an even more bizarre and terrifying sight!

Its massive body, covered in thick dark green carapace, swelled wildly as if inflated, instantly surpassing the Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien!

The viscous venom flowing on its body, catalyzed by the potion, rapidly changed color from dark green to a deep, heart-pounding dark purple, as if it could devour all light!

Thick, almost solid, toxic mists, carrying strong corrosiveness and a sickeningly sweet stench, uncontrollably spewed out from the cracks in its carapace all over its body!

As these dark purple toxic mists spread and touched the alloy floor, they instantly emitted a terrifying "hissing" sound; the incredibly hard alloy rapidly melted and collapsed like snow under the scorching sun!

Even more terrifying, in the area where the toxic mist permeated, space itself seemed to begin to "rot"!

Light twisted, colors peeled away, and all matter showed signs of decay and corruption! A deeper, more terrifying rule power, representing "annihilation" and "decay," spread from the Abyssal Poison Earth-Rending Alien like tentacles from an abyss!

"Annihilation! It's the Annihilation Rule! And... Decay! Dual rules! This is impossible! This energy level... Instruments! Quickly, gather all backup sensors for me! Analyze its venom composition! Analyze its rule fluctuations! I want the most detailed data!!"

Chen Xuantong had completely fallen into a state of frenzy.

He frantically slapped the buttons on the control panel while roaring into the communicator, his spittle flying.

He even disregarded the danger, lunging at a high-speed camera's control panel, personally operating the lens to lock onto the Abyssal Poison Earth-Rending Alien, looking at the terrifying readings representing annihilation energy on the screen, a look of almost worshipful fanaticism and twisted satisfaction on his face.

"Perfect! Too perfect! The Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien's spatial cutting! The Abyssal Poison Earth-Rending Alien's annihilation and decay! And the others... frost! flames! mental shockwaves! strength amplification! Oh my god! The diversity of rule power! Collective rule resonance! The superimposed effect of the energy tide! This data... this data will revolutionize the entire field of extraordinary biology!!"

He shrieked incoherently, his fingers frantically tapping on the keyboard, recording every moment that seemed incredibly precious to him.

The entire testing ground had transformed into a symphony of purgatory and evolution!

146 Xenomorphs, like 146 active volcanoes erupting violently!

Violent energies collided, superimposed, and resonated!

Multicolored rule lights flickered and dimmed in the chaotic energy storm!

Painful roars intertwined with the shouts of power erupting!

Dark golden carapaces shattered and reformed during the metamorphosis, becoming thicker, more ferocious, and gleaming with a luster beyond metal!

Bodies were expanding, strength was soaring, and rules were condensing!

Each flap of the Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien's wings brought forth ripples of shattered space, easily cutting and devouring the chaotic energy currents that tried to approach it!

It seemed to have become the master of space!

The Abyssal Poison Earth-Rending Alien, on the other hand, was like a mobile source of toxic disaster; with each step it took, the ground beneath its feet rapidly transformed into a foul-smelling poisonous swamp, and the dark purple toxic mist almost completely "rotted" the space around it, forming an absolute dead zone from which even light could not escape!

Time passed by minute by minute.

The metamorphosis of the ordinary Xenomorphs was the first to stabilize; their bodies generally grew a size larger, their carapaces became darker, and their defense, strength, and speed all achieved a qualitative leap, with a faint but clear fluctuation of rule power lingering around them to varying degrees, their overall strength firmly stepping into the threshold of pseudo-extraordinary!

The metamorphosis of the elite Xenomorphs took a little longer; the rule patterns on their bodies were clearer and more stable, and the rule power they exuded was stronger, already reaching the level of top-tier pseudo-extraordinary beings.

As for the Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien and the Abyssal Poison Earth-Rending Alien, their transformations seemed endless!

The scale of spatial cracks and annihilation toxic mist was still expanding, and the fluctuations of rule power were like surging tides, each wave stronger than the last!

Their aura was infinitely close to the realm of true extraordinary beings!

That terrifying energy pressure made the energy shield of the entire testing ground groan, on the verge of collapse!

"Hold on! You must hold on! Record the final metamorphosis! This is the most crucial stage!!"

Chen Xuantong shrieked, his eyes bloodshot, his face flushed with a sickly redness that almost dripped blood.

He completely ignored the precarious protection of the testing ground and the terrified, desperate eyes of his subordinates; his world was only filled with the constantly refreshing, intoxicating, and insane data stream!

Lin Feng stood at the center of the storm, at the very front of the Xenomorph Legion, with energy currents whipping his clothes, making them flap loudly.

His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, his mental power highly concentrated, like the most precise instrument, monitoring the state of every Xenomorph, feeling the earth-shattering and terrifying evolution happening within their bodies!

The corner of his mouth slowly curled into a cold arc.

Success!

A terrifying legion consisting of 146 pseudo-extraordinary Xenomorphs, two of which had even touched the threshold of true extraordinary beings, was being born before his eyes!

This was power!

Power sufficient to crush all obstacles!

And on the high platform, Chen Xuantong, watching the readings representing the energy cores of the Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien and the Abyssal Poison Earth-Rending Alien on the screen, finally broke through a certain critical point, erupting with unprecedented brilliant light, he could no longer suppress it and let out a shriek of extreme ecstasy that could tear eardrums.

"Extraordinary! Rule materialization! They... they are condensing their rule cores! The path to true extraordinary power! It's right before my eyes! Hahahahaha!!"

His laughter echoed amidst the piercing alarms of the instruments and the deafening crash of the energy shield collapsing, filled with the ultimate madness of a scientific fanatic witnessing ultimate truth!
