194: Chapter 194: Flesh and Blood Symbiotic Flies

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

Lin Yuan had just landed when the soft mud beneath his feet suddenly exploded.

Seven or eight Poison Vine Beasts, their size comparable to armored vehicles, burst out from underground.

They were covered in festering tumors, their limbs twisted from vines, lunging straight at Lin Yuan's face.

The auras of these demonic beasts had all reached Platinum Tier.

Lin Yuan stood in place, not drawing the [Sinful Blood Sword] on his neck.

He raised his right hand, index and middle fingers together.

Dark golden Divine Power completed a cycle within his Meridians.

He did not borrow the power of the Divine Fire, but merely extracted a drop of Divine Power the size of a water bead from this internal cycle.

The Divine Power condensed at his fingertips, the surrounding poisonous miasma was instantly cleared, and the space rippled slightly.

A flick of his finger.

That drop of dark golden Divine Power accurately hit the center of the brow of the leading Poison Vine Beast.

The Divine Power merged into the Poison Vine Beast's body, but the demonic beasts' movements only stalled for half a second, not even breaking their skin.

Their eyes flashed with red light, and they opened their huge mouths to continue lunging.

Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

"Wither."

He uttered a single word with slight lip movement.

A layer of gray-black, complex patterns suddenly appeared on the bodies of the charging Poison Vine Beasts.

The moment the marks lit up, the Poison Vine Beasts froze.

Their life force, blood, and even their Soul fire were forcibly stripped away within a ten-thousandth of a second, converted into pure Death Qi.

The leading Poison Vine Beast's body rapidly withered and weathered in mid-air.

The second, the third...

Seven or eight Platinum Tier demonic beasts turned to fly ash one after another in front of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan turned his hand.

"Prosper."

The stripped life force turned into specks of emerald light, pouring back into Lin Yuan's body, nourishing his physique, and incidentally dispersing all the approaching toxic spores.

He looked at the pile of ashes on the ground and nodded.

Previously, when encountering this level of demonic beasts, he would have had to expend dozens of drops of Divine Power to crush them directly.

Not only was the commotion huge, but the consumption was also relatively large.

Now, using just one drop of Divine Power as a fulcrum to leverage the boundary of the Law of life and death, he could resolve the battle without staining his hands with blood.

This 5,000 credit special course was well worth the cost.

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at a bush on the right.

There was still a demonic beast lying there that hadn't been affected.

Lin Yuan had deliberately spared its life.

This was a double-headed giant lizard over ten meters long.

Its appearance was ugly, the scales on its back had fallen off in large areas, replaced by swollen dark red tumors.

What really interested Lin Yuan was the way the tumors operated.

The surface of the tumors was covered with dense breathing pores.

With the giant lizard's breathing, hundreds of tiny green flying insects drilled in and out of the pores.

These flying insects ate the surrounding poisonous miasma, purified the toxins, and fed them back into the giant lizard's body. The giant lizard provided a flesh-and-blood bed for the flying insects.

A very rare symbiotic form.

Lin Yuan spread his Mental Energy, covering thousands of miles, confirming there was no spying from other gods.

He raised his hand, his palm aimed at the double-headed giant lizard.

[Creation Extraction] activated.

The Void Realm split open, and a dozen dark golden Law chains whistled out.

The double-headed giant lizard sensed the threat of death, and both heads opened simultaneously, spewing columns of poison.

The chains ignored the corrosion of the poison and the physical defense on the lizard's surface, piercing directly into the depths of its flesh.

"Roar—!"

The giant lizard let out a scream, and the green flying insects on its back swarmed toward the chains, attempting to bite them off.

Lin Yuan moved his mind, and the chains tightened.

Crack.

A chain recoiled from the muddy flesh, with a ball of Law halo wrapped around the tip.

Lin Yuan reached out to grasp the halo, and the panel data popped up.

[Extraction successful, obtained Gold Tier entry: Flesh Symbiosis Fly.]

[Entry effect: Can breed symbiotic flying insects on the host's body surface. The flying insects can absorb free toxins from the outside world and convert them into weak life force to feed back to the host. When the host suffers a fatal blow, it can sacrifice all symbiotic flying insects to offset one low-level physical or energy damage.]

Lin Yuan looked at the introduction on the panel, lost in thought.

Honestly, the single-unit strength of this entry was very average.

Weak life force feedback was a drop in the bucket in the high-intensity slaughter of the Wasteland Divine Domain.

Offsetting one low-level damage was even more useless for high-level kin.

Which Wasteland kin didn't have rough skin and thick flesh with amazing recovery? They didn't need this kind of protection at all.

But he had no intention of despising it.

Wasteland kin never lacked strong basic attributes. What they lacked was the direction of evolution and the underlying logic.

"Symbiosis" and "Substitute Death."

Once these two concepts were integrated into the gene bank of the Wasteland Divine Domain, who knew what mutations this group of lunatics would undergo?

With the foundation of the Violent Demon Clan, the predatory nature of the Zerg, the extremes of the Fire Spirit Clan, and the mimicry of the Sea and Sky Races.

This Gold Tier seed would surely grow the most suitable fruit for them.

Lin Yuan gathered the halo in his palm.

He raised his head and looked at the vast forest shrouded in poisonous miasma.

It was time to let the masters of this land see a real ecological disaster.

Lin Yuan raised both hands and tore them to the sides.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Seven or eight dark golden channels formed in mid-air.

The channel of the Wasteland Divine Domain was completely opened.

The first figure to step out of the vortex was as huge as a mountain.

The Tyrant took a step out, its body landing on the ground, directly crushing a large area of poison vines.

Following closely was the Insect King, who watched this scene.

It thought to itself, it was time to show off its command ability again.

It continued to glance at the Tyrant, secretly proud, though it didn't show it this time.

Then came the sky.

The Mutated Magic Vulture and the Magic Blade Bat flew out, circling above Lin Yuan's head.

In a poisonous river in the distance, the water surface exploded.

Tens of millions of Bone Fish and Liquid Metal Crabs smashed down along the spatial channel, dyeing the river black.

The last to descend was the Calamity Fire Spirit.

More than 300,000 clusters of black-pale karma fire fell onto the mud, and the surrounding poisonous miasma and plants were instantly ignited.

Such massive spatial fluctuations and undisguised invasion of the Divine Domain immediately alarmed the true overlords of this area.

The earth shook.

The poisonous forest in the distance collapsed and was leveled in patches.

Dozens of Diamond Tier native creatures rushed over.

There were mutated ancient trees tens of meters tall, pythons with bodies as thick as city walls, and giant spore monsters spraying high-pressure poison slurry.

They felt their territory was violated, and their killing intent approached rapidly.

The Tyrant turned its head slightly, its eyes contemptuous, completely disregarding these ants.

Its body expanded segment by segment.

Fifty meters, one hundred meters, three hundred meters... five hundred meters!

A demon god manifested between heaven and earth.

The Tyrant raised its palm, gravity compressed in its palm, forming a black distorted force field.

Across a distance of over a thousand meters, it slapped down.

The ground collapsed into a palm print a hundred meters deep.

The dozen or so Diamond Tier poisonous creatures in the front didn't even have time to react before they were slapped into meat paste.

Green poisonous blood and crushed wood residue mixed into a puddle of mud at the bottom of the pit.

The remaining dozens of Diamond Tier natives stopped their feet.

The thick killing intent in their eyes was replaced by fear.

Being able to Cultivate to the Diamond Tier, each one was very shrewd.

They realized that the dark golden monster in front of them was not an existence they could contend with.

Without any hesitation, the remaining native overlords turned and ran, their speed twice as fast as when they came.

The Tyrant did not pursue the fleeing natives, retracted its Dharma form, and returned to a size of fifty meters.

Turning around, the Tyrant walked to Lin Yuan, knelt on one knee, and lowered its arrogant head.

In its view, showing power to the Creator and expressing submission was far more important than killing a few lowly natives.

The Insect King also landed on the ground, its six wings tucked away, hands placed on its chest.

The Fire Spirit stopped spreading and jumped in place, like a sacrifice.

The Sea and Sky Races remained silent in the sky and the river, waiting for instructions.

Lin Yuan looked at his army of kin and pulled up the Divine Domain panel.

"Deduct 8.7 million faith points."

faith points evaporated.

The Gold Tier entry halo in Lin Yuan's palm began to split.

Thousands of identical golden light clusters floated in mid-air.

Lin Yuan moved his mind.

These light clusters shot into the bodies of the Diamond Tier members of the major races respectively.

The granting began.

The most obvious change was the Tyrant and the Diamond Tier Violent Demon Clan under its command.

As the light clusters entered their bodies, the liquid metal on the Tyrant's body surface began to boil, and its body made a clanking sound of metal distortion.

The Tyrant let out a low roar, and the metal muscles on its shoulders split open.

Thousands of black-golden flying insects crawled out from within.

These flying insects completely abandoned the flesh-and-blood form, entirely composed of liquid metal.

They circled around the Tyrant, their bodies appearing and disappearing, and every flap of their wings triggered subtle changes in gravity.

When encountering attacks, the flying insects could merge into the Void Realm.

Or attach to the enemy's body surface, applying gravity suppression, while chewing on the opponent's armor.

The Tyrant moved its mind.

Thousands of black-gold flying insects gathered on its right arm, forming a liquid metal arm guard.

The next second, the flying insects dispersed again, chewing a giant rock not far away into powder.

The elites of the Violent Demon Clan also sprouted these black-gold flying insects on their bodies.

Lin Yuan watched this scene, his eyes slightly bright.

The foundation of the Violent Demon Clan was indeed terrifying, turning an auxiliary symbiotic entry into a divine skill that combined offense and defense.

On the other side, the Fusion process of the Calamity Fire Spirit encountered resistance.

As soon as the light cluster touched the Fire Spirit's body, it was scorched by the violent karma fire, sizzling, with signs of collapse.

Elemental life had no flesh and blood, unable to provide a bed for parasitic breeding.

The underlying logic of the entry conflicted severely with the Fire Spirit's life form.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

"Get in there."

He didn't believe it; he could even knead a completely opposing entry like [Heavy Water] into the Fire Spirit's body.

Why couldn't a mere symbiosis fly work?

Lin Yuan increased the output of Divine Power, pressing the light cluster into the Fire Spirit's elemental core bit by bit.

The Fire Spirits let out painful hisses.

Their bodies expanded, and the black-pale flames shot into the sky.

Under the forced interference of Divine Power and the calcination of karma fire, the rules of the entry were reshaped.

The entity of the flying insects was burned, and tiny black-pale flames were born.

These flames detached from the Fire Spirit's main body, flying up and down around them.

[Companion Fire Poison Fly].

They no longer absorbed toxins, but specifically parasitized the enemy's Soul and energy nodes, igniting karma fire and burning the target from the inside.

From then on, the Fire Spirit Clan added an insidious long-range consumption method.

Next was the Zerg.

The performance of this group opened Lin Yuan's eyes.

After the Insect King absorbed the halo, its whole body trembled uncontrollably.

A moment later, its appearance did not seem to change much, and even its aura was the same.

Just when Lin Yuan was wondering if the entry didn't work because they were all insects, the Insect King spat out a glob of slurry.

Lin Yuan then discovered the clue.

In the slurry, tens of thousands of micro-spores were wriggling.

These spores were extremely aggressive.

They relied on air circulation, and once they contacted a living organism, they would drill into the other's pores and lurk in the blood.

Usually, there was no movement.

As long as the Insect King gave an order, these micro-spores would absorb energy in the host's body and then collectively self-destruct.

Transforming parasites into micro-suicide biochemical weapons.

Lin Yuan had to admire the extreme creativity of the Zerg on the path of evolution.
