Zero’s words left the Mother Tree silent.
After a long time, it shook its head and decisively changed the topic. “We’re here.”
Zero followed the mother tree’s indication and looked into the distance.
He saw that in the dim underground s.p.a.ce, a fungal blanket was undulating and enveloping a ma.s.sive creature.
Due to the fungal blanket on the outside, he could not see the true appearance of the content being enveloped. He could only judge from the size of the spherical shape that this thing was about a hundred meters in size.
A substantial, even an endless amount of energy was gathered by the Mother Tree and infused into the ent.i.ty’s body.
“He’s getting stronger every moment.”
“He’s like a black hole, devouring all the energy he can!”
“The energy I’ve filled his body can already produce over a hundred Ancient Realm experts… but so far, this thing is still not satisfied!”
“I even have this feeling that what I’m giving him now is less than a thousandth of what he needs!”
As the Mother Tree spoke, Zero walked towards the spherical ent.i.ty.
His gaze was so deep that it seemed to be able to penetrate the outer membrane of the ball and see the interior.
He saw that the sphere contained a grotesque giant creature, half upright and half prostrating.
It was silent and motionless, like a ma.s.sive and exquisite sculpture.
It had black fur, sharp bone spurs, knife-like nails, and powerful limbs.
Apart from that, there was a blood-red pattern on its forehead, resembling an eye, faintly visible.
The moment he saw this pattern, Zero immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at the Mother Tree and said gently, “You’re on the right path.”
“The Beast King’s clone has already given birth to the Eye of Flesh and Blood. Now, what you have to do is continue to nurture it to give birth to more Eyes of Flesh and Blood.”
“And when the number of Eye of Flesh and Blood reaches the standard of the Beast King’s lifetime, it will awaken and bring you a great surprise and a.s.sistance!”
Zero’s tone was somewhat quick, as if he could barely contain his excitement.
However, the Mother Tree looked confused.
“The Eye of Flesh and Blood, what’s that?”
To this, Zero smiled and said, “Mystical patterns. The highest and rarest mystical patterns.”
“Rare, uncommon, certainly not as rare as you, but at least it’s much rarer than those bullsh*t high-level gold and silver patterns…”
“And the most crucial thing is the rule of the physical body: The Eye of Flesh and Blood is exceptional, unconstrained, harmless, entirely one’s own, a power that transcends the ordinary and reaches the extraordinary.”
The Mother Tree became more and more perplexed as it listened.
Until Zero gently patted its shoulder.
“If you don’t understand, don’t worry about it. Now, let’s discuss how to hide your laboratory.”
The Mother Tree pondered for a long time and said to Zero, “Your call.”
However, there was a glint in its eyes.
The Mother Tree felt that this old thing, Zero, was good to it, but he had some ulterior motives.
But the Mother Tree could not figure out what kind of ulterior motives. In any case, the Mother Tree felt that this Corpse G.o.d was strange.
His Body Self-Limitation brought five forms to Lu Ming.
Usually, Lu Ming used a Self-Limitation state.
Firstly, it could maintain his body size, making his appearance more in line with the typical human aesthetics.
Secondly, the Self-Limitation state was helpful for farming his attributes.
But once Lu Ming entered a Combat state, it was time to switch to the other forms.
“With my Self-Limitation state, 1 can’t deal with my opponents at all.”
“And the other golden pattern is even harder.”
Even with Force, Lu Ming could only eliminate the differences caused by the Silver patterns.
In a fight, he still had to rely on the level of his Source Power Skill and his physical strength!
Although Lu Ming was not weak in these two aspects, he was not particularly strong in the Ancient Realm.
Moreover, Tang Chongye, who possessed the Golden patterns, was clearly more difficult to deal with. It was still unknown what effect a simplified version of the Eye of Blood and Flesh could have on the golden pattern.
“Then, let’s get started.”
Amidst everyone’s gaze, Lu Ming’s physique began to grow explosively!
His height, which was less than two meters in the Self-Limitation state, quickly grew to a towering 20 meters.
The proportions of his body were not significantly different from the
Self-Limitation state.
This was the Normal state!
After becoming normal, Lu Ming’s body expanded further and quickly grew to a height of nearly 50 meters.
A large number of muscles began to grow rapidly, forming sarcomas of various sizes on his body—this was the external manifestation of extreme muscle enhancement!
At the same time, the strength of his bones was also increasing exponentially to adapt to the growing muscle strength.
A large number of bone spurs protruded from his muscles, quickly forming a jagged bone armor on Lu Ming’s body.
The bone armor covered his face like a ghost mask, making Lu Ming’s appearance grotesque and terrifying!
This was the Explosive State!
A ferocious aura emanated from Lu Ming’s body, causing the c.o.c.kroach brothers, c.o.c.kroach Green and c.o.c.kroach Pavilion to involuntarily take a few steps back.
Before they could react, Lu Ming’s body underwent another transformation!
This time, it did not continue to expand.
It was a compression!
An extreme compression!
Under the control of the Self-Limitation state, a large number of muscles and bones were crazily compressed to increase strength!
In a short time, Lu Ming’s body had returned to a height of five meters.
However, at this moment, Lu Ming no longer looked human.
His face was diamond-shaped, with two gray horn-like protrusions growing on his chin, complementing the three horns on the top of his head.
His limbs were intact, with no significant changes in shape, except for an additional layer of black scales.
The spine was curved, with a form that was a mix between a human and a wild beast, allowing him to both walk upright and crawl on all fours.
Numerous pale bone spurs rose from his spine, pointing towards the sky, rising and falling with Land Ming’s breathing.
On his tail vertebrae, there grew a tail covered in spikes.
“Is this still a human? Is it some kind of exotic creature!?”
c.o.c.kroach Green exclaimed in amazement.
Even Esek and Tang Chongye stopped fighting, and turned to look at Lu Ming in unison.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Lu Ming grinned sinisterly, revealing a mouth full of fangs – these fangs were like daggers, layered in three tiers, and his gaping mouth looked like a meat grinder.
“Human? How am 1 not human? Open your bug eyes and take a good look!”
His breath was like thunder.
With Lu Ming’s shout, a ma.s.sive amount of air and source power crazily poured into his body, as if causing a storm to rage.
Lu Ming looked up at the sky and roared, “You stinky bug, how dare you ask me if I’m human!”
“I’m a genuine human!”
After speaking, Lu Ming lowered his head to look at c.o.c.kroach Green and said fiercely, “I hate creatures like you most, who judge people based on appearances!”
“Smack!”
“Smack!”
“Smack!”
A thick and spiky tail continuously struck the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
The ferocious power was unleashed, making c.o.c.kroach Green and c.o.c.kroach Pavilion, the two brothers to frown.
“This guy is a bit troublesome…”
c.o.c.kroach Pavilion muttered, but c.o.c.kroach Green just snorted and said, “But it’s only a bit troublesome.”
Turning to look at Tang Chongye, who was entangled with Esek again, c.o.c.kroach Qing said coldly, “You think you’re strong just because you look fierce? That’s not the case!”
“Younger Brother.”
“Brother, I’m here.”
“Go all out and resolve this quickly. Don’t let Brother Tang look down on us!”
c.o.c.kroach Pavilion immediately grinned sinisterly, revealing its rotten insect teeth.
“I was thinking the same thing..”
