Chapter 2641 - 2641 Tongue Pouch Births Demons
2641 Tongue Pouch Births Demons
While Lin Yuan was increasing Red Thorn’s power, he never stopped thinking about what the best method would be. It did not take long for him to arrive at an answer.
However, Lin Yuan did not know whether the abilities and boost that Red Thorn received from the evolution of the Tongue of Relinquish would meet his expectations.
Red Thorn’s Tongue of Relinquish could control other lifeforms because it had swallowed the seed in Ji Feng’s body.
The seed came from a plant called the Gardener Konjac. At that time, Lin Yuan did not know where the Gardener Konjac came from. But slowly, he became certain it came from the dead world that was still largely foreign to the main world.
The Gardener Konjac was a dimensional lifeform that Second Page Revival had been actively nurturing. But for an unknown reason, Second Page Revival later disappeared.
According to Eighth Page Apoptosis, Second Page Revival had disappeared around the time she went with Sixth Page Las.h.i.+ng to a joint operation with the Freedom Federation envoy group to the Radiance Federation.
Lin Yuan had already asked the Moon Empress and confirmed that Second Page Revival’s disappearance was not related to the Radiance Federation.
Lin Yuan always found this to be strange.
Although the Tongue of Relinquish’s abilities came from the Gardener Konjac, its power now fully came from the corpses it controlled like the Abyss Great Emperor. It did not actually have much to do with the Gardener Konjac’s genes!
The main reason was that Red Thornb had raised the Gardener Konjac’s abilities.
Otherwise, why did the Gardener Konjac only have so few top experts under its control when it was in Second Page Revival’s hands? Why did it only control emperor-cla.s.s experts with Myth Breed feys like Ji Feng?
Lin Yuan wanted to strengthen Red Thorn’s Tongue of Relinquish because he wanted to see the extent to which Red Thorn could raise the Gardener Konjac’s genes.
Lin Yuan reached out and halted the flying Red Thorn before saying seriously, “Red Thorn, I know you have been waiting for this day for a long time and that you have acc.u.mulated enough power. When you evolve to Diamond grade, choose to evolve your Tongue of Relinquis.h.!.+
“While you are evolving, I will instruct someone to provide your main body with a large number of corpses so you can replenish your vitality. I have already extracted a significant amount of pure wood-elemental energy from the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies’ larvae.
“I will feed you the wood-elemental energy as well as the almost 1,000 units of pure fairy bloodlines supplied by the G.o.ddess of Mercy!
“The G.o.ddess of Mercy caused too much bloodshed while trying to obtain these fairy bloodlines. When you absorb them, create a new history for the fairy species, and bring glory to them, you will have made those deaths worth it!”
Red Thorn nodded earnestly.
Normally, there was nothing that Red Thorn liked more than to cling to Lin Yuan. It rarely acted as seriously as this.
When Red Thorn found out that the G.o.ddess of Mercy had been nurturing fairies to kill them and turn them into toys once they were fully grown, it immediately started to hate the G.o.ddess of Mercy.
It had been keeping this fury to itself and had not expressed it to Lin Yuan.
No lifeform would not become enraged by the knowledge that someone was killing its kind and turning them into toys.
This contributed to Lin Yuan’s decision not to keep the G.o.ddess of Mercy by his side and send her to the water world to live with the other mermaids instead.
“Yuan, I do not need so many fairy bloodlines for my evolution. I sense that I will need less than 300 fairy bloodlines to reach eight wings. After I evolve to eight wings and reach that gate, I will need to acc.u.mulate power for some time before my bloodline can experience another breakthrough.
“During that time, the remaining fairy bloodlines can go to Silver Corona, Elegance, Brocade Zither, and the rest!
“Brocade Zither does not have much potential, and it would have been difficult for it to become a four-winged fairy. But after living in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and being nourished by the pure spirit qi for a prolonged period, as well as absorbing a significant amount of energy from the Pure Land of Bliss, it can now evolve to four wings. All it needs now is an opportunity! If it absorbs a few units of fairy bloodlines, it will be able to evolve into a four-winged fairy!”
Usually, Red Thorn rarely interacted with Brocade Zither. However, it did look out for Brocade Zither.
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded. “Red Thorn, I can supply you with as many fairy bloodlines as you need. Just relax and evolve!”
Red Thorn flew to the center of the three Mouths of Relinquish and wrapped its body with its three pairs of wings before falling into slumber.
Soon, explosive roaring noises could be heard within the three large Mouths of Relinquish. The roaring resembled that of the eruption of a small volcano.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and released 30 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators before instructing them to take Diamond fey storage boxes to Red Thorn’s Mouths of Relinquish to supply it with the corpses of dimensional lifeforms.
Normally, Lin Yuan only fed the corpses of Cla.s.s 5 and 6 dimensional lifeforms to Red Thorn. However, the Platinum Red Thorn could already consume Cla.s.s 7 to 8 dimensional lifeforms that were the equivalent of Myth Breed feys!
Numerous dimensional lifeforms died in the dimensional worlds daily, and Lin Yuan had intentionally collected all of them.
This not only provided Red Thorn with good quality food, but Lin Yuan also did not need to kill whenever he needed to feed Red Thorn.
When the corpses filled with blood energy entered the Mouths of Relinquish, the sounds coming from the three furnace-like Mouths of Relinquish became even more uproarious.
Each time the Mouth of Relinquish contracted and expanded, it grew larger.
As the Mouth of Relinquish had a relatively flat shape, it did not seem tall. However, it was around the size of a small sports stadium.
The Eye of Relinquish did not become much larger as it was not the focus of the evolution like the Mouth of Relinquish was. Nonetheless, it still became larger and brighter. It was clear that it now stored much more energy than it did in the past!
The roaring noises lasted for almost five hours before they stopped. As the Tongue of Relinquish was currently wrapped up in the Mouth of Relinquish, Lin Yuan could not see its current state.
But as the Mouth of Relinquish opened and closed, Lin Yuan saw that there was a pouch-like item below the Tongue of Relinquish.
Lin Yuan walked into the part where the three Mouths of Relinquish met.
Lin Yuan had just instructed the 30 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to feed the fairy bloodlines and wood-elemental energy to Red Thorn.
When he arrived at the part where the three Mouths of Relinquish met, he saw that Red Thorn had grown another pair of wings just as he had predicted. However, this set of wings seemed to be extremely premature.
Lin Yuan was not a fairy, so he could sense that Red Thorn’s bloodline had evolved. Still, he could not tell if it had any influence over other fairies.
Silver Corona was not with him. Otherwise, he would use Silver Corona as a test subject.
Lin Yuan used Morbius to check on Red Thorn.
[Fey Name]: Red Thorn (Eight-Winged Fairy) (Thousand Eyes Relinquish)
[Fey Species]: Rafflesia genus/fairy species
[Fey Grade]: Diamond (1/10)
[Fey Type]: Source/Wood
[Fey Quality]: Fantasy V
Abilities:
[Mouth of Relinquish]: Secretes vigorous digestive fluids with powerful corrosive properties, allowing a faster speed to absorb the energy in the food. The Tongue of Relinquish inside the mouth is able to increase the digestion speed by several times. It can also secrete a special corrosive fluid from the flesh and blood that it consumed. When the Tongues of Relinquish pierce a target, the tip of the tongue can be cut off and left in the target’s body. While the target remains alive, the tip of the tongue will control the target’s spirit and soul. After the target dies, the tip of the tongue can control and manipulate the target to make it appear as though it was still alive.
[Brutal Carnivore Vine]: The vines contained digestive fluids that grew in midair, and the sharp teeth on the inner side of the vine could grind off and collect flesh and blood energy.
[Eye of Relinquish]: Eyes formed by using blood and flesh energy. Each eye contains a huge amount of blood and flesh energy. When the number of Eyes of Relinquish on every Mouth of Relinquish is maintained below 60, they are merely able to store energy. When the number of Eyes of Relinquish is above 60, those Eyes of Relinquish that are above 60 can be turned into an energy ray at any time.
[Sea of Flowers State Transition]: By quickly using up the stored-up energy, the sea of flowers’ child ramets’ attacking power and mobility can be improved by several times. The child ramets’ weapons will also morph in a way that increases their functionality.
[Demon Spirit Curse Kill]: Whenever any of the ortet’s ramets touched an enemy target and breaks through a target’s defense, the target will be cursed. Every curse carries a negative effect that would be stacked with every additional attack.
[Tongue Pouch Births Demons]: When a corpse is being consumed, it can be stored in the tongue pouch and nurtured. If the corpse’s power is intact, it can be nurtured into a special lifeform that contains a fairy bloodline. Its previous power will be retained, and its power can also be increased when tempered by blood energy.
Exclusive Skill:
[Spore Growth]: Spits a huge amount of spores, which can absorb the energy or flesh energy supplied by Red Thorn, out of its spore cavity to quickly grow ramets and child ramets controlled by the ortet.
[Wither Glory]: Red Thorn can rapidly absorb the energy from the soil and pour the energy into the sea of flowers. As long as the soil has the roots of the child ramets and ramets, the withered sea of flowers would reach its prime state.
Currently, Red Thorn had evolved to Diamond I, but its quality had not changed. Nonetheless, after reaching eight wings, its abilities had all been strengthened!
Given that it had chosen to evolve the Tongue of Relinquish, it gained a new ability called Tongue Pouch Births Demons.
In spite of his wealth of experience, Lin Yuan still could not help but slap his leg out of excitement when he saw Tongue Pouch Births Demons.
Tongue Pouch Births Demons significantly increased the Tongue of Relinquish’s ability to control corpses.
The Tongue of Relinquish took control of corpses by inserting its tongue tip into the corpses. The tongue tip would then fix up the corpse before activating its cells and manipulating its movement.
Now that the Tongue of Relinquish had evolved, Tongue Pouch Births Demons could store a corpse in its tongue pouch and nurture a lifeform with a fairy bloodline.
The lifeform would also retain all the abilities from when it was alive. Just like a living lifeform, it could also be nurtured to increase its power while it was inside the tongue pouch. This made it no different from a living lifeform.
Although the corpses in the tongue pouches would still be dead ent.i.ties that Red Thorn controlled, their powers could continue to increase!
The Abyss Great Emperor was currently Lin Yuan’s strongest powerhouse. But it fell short of Eternal Source because he could continuously increase his power while the Abyss Great Emperor could not.
But now, the Abyss Great Emperor also had the chance to increase its power.
At that moment, Red Thorn woke up and started flapping its four pairs of wings.
Red Thorn sensed its new pair of wings before it dove into Lin Yuan’s arms.
There was nothing that fairies prioritized more than their bloodlines, and Red Thorn was no exception.
However, Lin Yuan did not know that Red Thorn was not only happy because of its bloodline. It was also largely related to Silver Corona.
Previously, Red Thorn and Silver Corona were six-winged fairies. Although Red Thorn’s bloodline was slightly more elite than Silver Corona’s, it could not exert much influence over Silver Corona. Thus, it could not chase Silver Corona away from Lin Yuan’s side.
This always triggered Red Thorn’s possessiveness.
But now that it had eight wings, it could use its bloodline to overcome Silver Corona’s bloodline.
Red Thorn did not know why it always had the uncontrollable urge to compare itself with Silver Corona when they were actually on good terms.
It was because they had extremely similar abilities and could produce seas of flowers.
Silver Corona was also highly favored by Lin Yuan in the beginning, and he had used Shatter Spatial Stones to open up tens of dimensional rifts for it.
Red Thorn had been rolling in jealousy for some time!
Red Thorn said softly, “Yuan, I can use my tongue pouches to nurture promising corpses in the future! Every Tongue of Relinquish will be able to grow two tongue pouches at the most. The tongue pouches can be used as long as they are empty.
“Moreover, there isn’t a limit on the corpses being controlled. But the stronger the corpse, the more time it will take for the tongue pouch to transform it!”
With feys like the Engulfing Flames Heart Mushroom and Source Sand, which did not have high intelligence, Lin Yuan always needed to deduce their abilities after each evolution through True Data.
But with fairies like Red Thorn, which were even more intelligent than humans, the latter would volunteer answers to Lin Yuan’s questions.
It was not easy for Lin Yuan to find any more strong corpses from the main world unless he killed the real Eight Pages of Tower Canon.
But once he went to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, it was likely that there would be powerful experts abound.
Before Red Thorn grew the tongue pouches, the World Emperor experts that it controlled using its tongue tips could be easily recognized by experts they had ties to. Once they were recognized, Lin Yuan would be targeted by the experts’ kin.
Luckily, with the tongue pouches, Lin Yuan did not need to worry about that anymore.
