Chapter 995: Lifeform Template

The incredibly powerful life force of these legion warriors had been transferred to these templates.

“These warriors possess strong physical regeneration abilities. While vastly different from my immortal power, it’s quite challenging to inflict substantial damage on them with mere physical attacks.”

Xu Yang nodded gently. “You’re right,” he said. “Instead of me personally wasting energy here, it’s better to alter our combat strategy. That’s how this game will become more interesting.”

As things stood, Xu Yang merely viewed the current battle as a game. In his view, data could only be quantified, not used to create miracles. Once these individuals became templates, their creativity was stripped away. For a cultivator, creativity was the inexhaustible driving force towards higher realms.

“Since you’ve chosen to reveal your hand, I regret to say there can only be one outcome to today’s game: I will possess entirely new and more powerful templates. Thank you and your team for all your efforts in my research; I will never forget your contributions.”

A deeply chilling smile spread across the Doctor’s face. Gone was his previous scholarly demeanor; the killing intent in his eyes surged to its extreme.

However, these were secondary. What Xu Yang cared about most were the countless research assistants surrounding him.

Each of them unleashed incredibly fierce, demon-like gazes, and then their bodies began to undergo a second transformation. Their expanding muscles gradually distorted their original contours, revealing an extremely wild and ferocious aspect.

Concurrently, the surrounding laboratory equipment rapidly withdrew underground. Everything around them underwent a dramatic transformation. Xu Yang watched calmly, a cold smile on his face, waiting for this phase of the opponent’s actions to conclude.

He was in no rush to act. Only when these laboratory assistants had fully evolved into their combat forms did Xu Yang nod gently at them.

“Heh heh, finally finished, are we? Excellent. From this moment, I will dictate the pace of this game.”

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he gripped the Jade Bone Divine Sword in his palm, then stepped forward, moving towards the nearest mutated laboratory assistant.

The opponent, without hesitation, leveraged their powerful physical strength, diving towards Xu Yang’s face. However, Xu Yang merely executed a light, graceful swing, and the Jade Bone Divine Sword in his hand unleashed an unimaginably terrifying deterrent force.

With a single swing of his sword through the air, the powerful sword energy instantly reduced the mutated assistant warrior before him to dust.

Immediately afterward, Xu Yang’s desire to kill seemed to be fully ignited by his opponent’s provocation. He continuously swung the sharp edge of the Jade Bone Divine Sword.

Wherever he moved, like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, he swiftly cut dozens of plainclothes warriors in the area into fragmented pieces.

What slightly surprised Xu Yang was that even after their bodies were cut into countless fragmented and damaged pieces, they did not completely lose their life force. Instead, within a very short time, they began to rapidly coalesce towards a central point. This reassembly was guided by the Doctor’s mental energy fluctuations.

“Master, have you noticed that the very life forms of these assistants seem to be controlled by the Doctor’s will?” Xi Huang reached this conclusion after observing for a while.

He immediately reported this to his master, Xu Yang. And how could Xu Yang fail to discern such a situation? He too nodded gently in response.

“You’re right. Logically, these assistants should possess their own distinct life forms. But now it appears they are nothing more than a series of puppets created by this Doctor. That they live solely by the Doctor’s will, it truly is a tragedy.

No matter what, today I must completely annihilate their lineage on Yingzhou Continent. I absolutely cannot allow this kind of tradition to run rampant; otherwise, it would be the greatest blasphemy to the entire cultivation world.”

Having made his declaration, Xu Yang continued his new task, relentlessly attacking the assistant warriors who were rapidly reassembling in a short amount of time.

However, the arrogance and cold sneer on the Doctor’s face grew increasingly agitated as he stared coldly at Xu Yang. “It’s useless,” he sneered. “Don’t waste your time here. You slay them repeatedly, yet I can reassemble and revive them just as many times. What do you have to contend with me? Submissively become my template; that will be your best outcome.

Trust me, I will enable you to find a whole new meaning to life, allowing you to live eternally on Yingzhou Continent. Your people, who are the puppets I’ve crafted, will also enjoy the glory of all beings on Yingzhou Continent. Is this not a perfect ending for you? All you must surrender is a pathetic soul.”

Upon hearing the Doctor’s words, Xu Yang couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “It seems you’ve already laid out my entire future for me. In that case, it would be quite rude if I didn’t give you a chance to demonstrate your abilities.”

The smile on Xu Yang’s face vanished abruptly. In an instant, the Jade Bone Divine Sword flew from his hand once more. This time, he directly targeted the Doctor’s main body.

How formidable was Xu Yang’s power? The Doctor sneered, instinctively raising his arms to block. Yet, he ultimately failed to withstand Xu Yang’s immensely potent edge. In a flash, the Jade Bone Divine Sword pierced through the protective barrier surrounding the Doctor’s body.

The terrifying power fluctuations violently blasted the Doctor’s physical body tens of meters away, slamming him against a series of massive walls behind him.

Nevertheless, the Doctor slowly rose, patted the dust from his body, and tilted his head. A smile once again spread across his face.

“Well? Go on. I’m curious to see what kind of power you can inflict upon me. If I don’t manage to make you give up today, and I just attack you directly, I fear I’ll lose the fun of the game. I want you to gradually descend into despair over your own attacks.”

Undoubtedly, this Doctor possessed a nearly twisted personality.
