Chapter 296: Unexpected Twist
Chapter 296: Unexpected Twist
Several days later, at StarSea Corporation.
Fang Xing stood behind a massive pane of special glass, gazing into the vast space within.
Mechanical arms were holding a huge container, slowly lowering it into the center of the laboratory.
Behind him stood several researchers, along with his two secretaries, Victoria and the now-recovered Xi Ling.
"Boss, since your advancement to the Martial Saint realm, the approval processes for various projects have become much smoother. We've been working day and night, and finally, we've completed this highly secure biochemistry lab."
Dr. Wang rubbed his bald head and excitedly explained, "We've implemented our own suppressant and the Federation's highest-grade anti-contamination measures... It's sufficient to conduct experiments on Beyondworld Demon God-level flesh. Later, after expansion, it can be transformed into a Mecha Construction Factory..."
"Alright, let's begin!"
Fang Xing took the previous experimental data parameters, nodding.
Sizzle!
After entering a long string of passwords, the container opened with a boom, revealing a massive clump of pitch-black flesh.
It resembled a Black Centipede, but its entire body was composed of countless black lines, and numerous tendrils danced like tentacles, full of vitality despite being frozen and anesthetized.
The lines on the Black Centipede's body twisted, as if imbued with a unique beauty, interpreting the universe's special rhythm, unconsciously captivating onlookers.
Fortunately, the entire laboratory had undergone anti-contamination measures, weakening the mental pollution by several layers, allowing even Dr. Wang to barely withstand it.
His voice sounded hoarse, "Now, let's begin the first experiment."
Zzzz!
A mechanical arm emitted a laser beam, like the most precise surgical knife, and severed a tendril.
The original clump of Black Centipede flesh immediately went into a frenzy.
"Quick! The suppressant!"
Dr. Wang shouted, and several mechanical nozzles, already poised for action, sprayed out a layer of white mist.
The Black Centipede's movements slowed down, and it eventually seemed to accept its fate, lying down again. Its wound was rapidly healing.
The severed piece of tendril had transformed into a worm, wriggling on the ground, and its wound was barely visible.
"The flesh of a Demon God Offspring has strong polluting properties... If we introduce a large amount of fresh flesh at this moment, they will go into a frenzy, devouring it, and their bodies will expand, giving birth to 'Secondary Demon God Offspring Flesh'..."
Dr. Wang explained, "Although we can use this to cultivate a large amount of secondary flesh, its strength won't meet the requirements of the bio-armor... With the small amount of Chaos Offspring flesh we currently have, we can only conduct preliminary research and cannot start building the mecha yet."
"I understand."
Fang Xing nodded, watching as Dr. Wang conducted one experiment after another.
"The Chaos Radiation Experiment begins..."
The black worm-like flesh was grasped by a mechanical arm and placed into a pre-assembled model room.
After the suppressant was withdrawn, an astonishing scene unfolded.
Accompanied by black mist and spiritual light, the once clean and tidy model room became chaotic.
The walls were covered in a layer of dark green moss, and the furniture was already showing signs of rust.
Even more surprising was that the once orderly room had become incredibly disorganized.
It seemed that for the Chaos Offspring, 'order' was a deadly poison.
"No wonder members of the Chaos Association like to create all sorts of disturbances... Perhaps human civilization and order are poisonous to the Entropy Master..."
Dr. Wang couldn't help but sigh upon witnessing this scene.
"This is intelligence the Federation has known for a long time... How severe is the chaos pollution?"
Fang Xing asked.
"Currently, it's at the lowest level, unable to affect space... Even the largest clump of flesh can't do that..."
Dr. Wang checked the data and replied.
"As expected... Is the Chaos Space a privilege only Demon God Offspring possess? With the split, the privilege is incomplete and has lost its effect?"
Fang Xing murmured, and a black seed appeared in his hand—the 'Demon God Mecha Seed'! At this moment, the seed had been refined by his Great Sun Primordial Spirit and had a subtle connection with him.
"Now, let's begin the first trial experiment."
He placed the seed on a tray.
Soon, the seed landed in the laboratory, entering the chaotic room.
The worm-like Chaos flesh seemed to sense danger and, without the suppressant, frantically emitted black mist.
"Hmph!"
Fang Xing coldly snorted, and a wisp of Great Sun Realm power appeared.
The thin layer of chaos realm instantly dissipated, allowing the mecha seed to easily land on the worm-like flesh.
Tendrils emerged, piercing the flesh.
The black flesh let out a painful cry and visibly withered.
In the end, it lost all vitality and turned into a pile of powder.
As for the mecha seed?
It appeared unchanged from before.
After all, the absorbed Demon God Offspring flesh was too little.
But Fang Xing, who had already refined it into his Lifebound Treasure, could still sense a slight activation within the seed.
Even with his Martial Saint-level sensitivity, Fang Xing felt a sense of illusion.
"Alright, let's continue with the various experiments to prepare for the future construction of the Demon God Mechanoid..."
Fang Xing praised and finally encouraged, "All staff, double your salaries!"
"Don't worry, boss," Dr. Wang immediately beamed, "We will definitely do our best to get the job done."
...
The Cultivation World.
A desolate land.
Ever since his main body advanced, Fang Xing's cultivation world clone had not lingered in the Omnipresent Sect. He was truly preparing to set off for the Vast Sea Cultivation World.
Of course, with the spaceship not yet delivered, he could only rely on his own teleportation light to travel.
He intentionally sought out this vast desert, a place with no human presence for tens of thousands of miles around, making it an ideal tribulation crossing ground.
Whoosh! A silver light flashed.
Fang Xing's main body appeared.
Suddenly, a crimson Great Sun appeared between heaven and earth, and within it was the Dharmakaya of the Great Sun Buddha.
The Dharmakaya of the Great Sun Buddha was awe-inspiring, with one finger pointing to the sky and the other to the ground, and its face was vaguely similar to Fang Xing's.
The Great Sun Realm spread out, carrying a terrifying aura.
In the sky above, there was not a trace of thunderclouds gathering.
"As expected, my Martial Saint Dharmakaya doesn't trigger a tribulation in the Cultivation World. After all, it's not from the same system, and it doesn't absorb heavenly essence energy..."
Fang Xing's main body nodded, then activated the characteristic of the Martial Cultivator.
Dispersing into Dharmakaya and condensing into a Primordial Spirit! The crimson Great Sun continued to condense, and the Dharmakaya of the Great Sun Buddha within it quickly shrank, eventually turning into a crimson Primordial Spirit.
This Primordial Spirit descended upon Fang Xing's head, flashed, and entered his Heavenly Spirit, then into his Dantian, where he sat cross-legged, crazily absorbing heavenly essence energy.
Boom!
In the sky, within a hundred li radius, countless dark clouds gathered, and lightning danced wildly! This was the Inner Soul Tribulation of the Cultivation World!
"Looks like I can't avoid it after all..."
"But if my cultivation world clone could calmly endure this tribulation, why would it come to affect me?"
Fang Xing coldly smiled, not using any treasure for defense, nor did he let his cultivation world clone take action.
Instead, his main body soared into the sky, directly charging into the thunderclouds.
The Primordial Spirit Tribulation could severely injure a newly advanced Primordial Spirit cultivator, even leading to their demise, but for a cultivator with a solid foundation and a treasure for protection, it was relatively easy to overcome.
Fang Xing's physical body was at least at the middle-grade of the fourth stage of Body Cultivation! If a powerful Martial Saint at the Vajra Realm were to be injured by such a minor Primordial Spirit Tribulation, it would be a joke!
Boom! Countless green and purple thunderbolts raged, constantly striking Fang Xing.
"Hmm, tingly and numb... It's like electrotherapy."
Fang Xing rested his hands behind his head, his expression even showing some enjoyment.
Boom!
Boom!
The tribulation seemed to be enraged, and one tribulation lightning after another struck his head, knocking him out of the thundercloud layer.
Then, the last lightning bolt, with a greenish-purple color and a chilling heavenly might, fell with a boom!
"Ah!"
Fang Xing opened his mouth wide, directly swallowing the last Primordial Spirit Tribulation.
Boom!
His organs rumbled, and the energy of his five viscera and six bowels slightly trembled as he continuously dissipated the power of this lightning, then used it to temper his body.
Huff! After several breaths, he exhaled a mouthful of black gas, and a hint of joy appeared on his face, "As expected of the last Primordial Spirit Tribulation, it's quite powerful. It further tempered my five viscera and six bowels, and its might is not bad..."
His cultivation world clone watched quietly.
The style of crossing tribulations was very different from that of the cultivators in the Cultivation World.
Every cultivator approached tribulations with caution, preparing thoroughly... The higher the stage, the more careful they were!
Whether it was treasures to weaken tribulations or restorative pills, each was enough to make them risk their lives.
As for actively bathing in tribulation lightning or even swallowing it for body tempering? Even Body Cultivators wouldn't dare to be so reckless! Of course, this was also because Fang Xing practiced the Blue Planet Martial Arts, and although he was at the Eighth Stage, it was a powerful one.
With a body comparable to a middle-grade fourth-stage demonic beast, he naturally wasn't afraid of a mere Inner Soul Tribulation.
If it were the Spirit Transformation Tribulation, he would definitely stay as far away as possible and wouldn't dare to be so reckless.
After the tribulation dissipated, Fang Xing's Great Sun Primordial Spirit suddenly felt more sensitive, as if his perception of heavenly essence energy had become sharper.
He touched his head, and a flash of spiritual light appeared at his Heavenly Spirit, from which his Great Sun Primordial Spirit emerged.
He chuckled, forming a hand seal.
The heavenly essence energy slightly rippled, and then nine huge fireballs appeared around him.
In terms of power, it far surpassed Foundation Establishment and Core Formation techniques! Primordial Spirit cultivators could slightly draw upon heavenly essence energy, greatly amplifying the power of their treasures and techniques.
In the Cultivation World, Primordial Spirit was a significant divide.
"But to truly manipulate a region's heavenly essence energy... one must be a Spirit Transformation Venerable!"
Primordial Spirit cultivators only slightly draw upon heavenly essence energy, passively enhancing their techniques.
Spirit Transformation Venerables, however, directly manipulate heavenly essence energy for their own use.
One draws, the other manipulates; one is heavenly essence energy, the other is heavenly essence power.
The difference between these words represents a world of difference!
"Now that I've advanced, it's time to get to work."
Fang Xing looked at his cultivation world clone and smiled...
