Chapter 1109: Evolution

Chapter 1110: Evolution

Inside the rock-hewn pool, bubbles occasionally burst with soft sounds, releasing a misty, glowing light that enveloped him like a warm spring breeze, leaving him utterly relaxed.

“What is this?” Ye Fan asked the purple-eyed woman. He stared at the pool in front of him, surprised. This misty spiritual energy enveloped him; its very presence might cause him to undergo a heavenly tribulation, which he found quite wondrous.

The purple-eyed woman glanced at the pool with a hint of disdain and a touch of sarcasm. “It’s just a pool of Genesis Water,” she said, “used to temper metal blocks and make them more spiritual. You natives naturally wouldn’t have seen it.” After speaking, she didn’t look at the pool again. Instead, she wrinkled her delicate nose, examining the damaged inner wall of the spaceship with a distressed expression, as if she cherished it deeply.

“So it’s just a pool for tempering metal materials,” Ye Fan said casually, walking around it twice. “I thought it was some kind of immortal elixir or spiritual pool.” He pretended to throw a metal block in for cleaning and asked the purple-eyed woman how to temper it and what effects it would have. However, he was ignored; she only showed him the back of her head.

The purple-haired man saw him genuinely about to waste some of the pool water and was extremely distressed. His mouth twitched uncontrollably; he wanted to say something but forced himself to hold back. He subtly turned his head to look the other way, hoping that out of sight would mean out of mind.

Ye Fan’s lips curved slightly. “You all agree that I possess the legendary Indestructible Golden Body,” he said. “Relying on a flesh-and-blood body is better than relying on that scrap metal. So, I might as well use this liquid to temper myself.”

With that, he unfastened his battle suit and was about to enter the pool, looking as if he intended to act recklessly. The purple-eyed woman and the young man whose many bones Ye Fan had broken instantly changed color. They could no longer remain calm, realizing that he had surely already discerned the truth. Both rushed desperately towards the pool. Ye Fan laughed loudly, lightly shaking the crystal-clear divine chain to lock both of them completely, fixing them in place beside the pool, unable to move even an inch.

This was the most important area on the spaceship, sealed with metal walls and protected by profound divine patterns. In this central main laboratory, a pool built of rock appeared, seeming out of place among the various mysterious instruments on display. It could not be an ordinary item. The rocks were silver-grey, containing mysterious minerals within, and emitted a very soft light. Approaching it, one felt a refreshing aura that seemed capable of transforming the body. Inside the pool, a misty, glowing light flowed, yet it had no distinct smell.

However, this five-colored divine liquid was too mysterious and unpredictable. As soon as Ye Fan extended his hand into it, his golden Sacred Blood surged within him, and his body’s surface intertwined with lightning and thunderous sounds. “What is this stuff?” He quickly pulled his hand back as if he had received an electric shock. It wasn’t that he hadn’t expected it to be a rare and precious liquid, but it seemed to be even more potent than he had imagined.

The purple-eyed woman’s face turned pale, and her expression was agitated. She tried her best to stop Ye Fan, but as a captive, it was impossible for her to succeed; she was extremely unwilling. “It seems this really is a pool of immortal elixir or spiritual liquid, making you so concerned…” Ye Fan chuckled.

Veins bulged on the purple-haired man’s forehead. They had drifted in the dark and cold universe for so many years, enduring countless tribulations and hardships, blowing up numerous dead stars, and only through heaven-defying fortune had they found various minerals. He didn’t know if he could refine such an immortal liquid again in the rest of his life.

“You can’t waste it like this,” the purple-eyed woman said, knowing she couldn’t hide it or stop him, so it was better to explain clearly. “This is a pool of the strongest bloodline evolution divine liquid. It’s only been preliminarily refined, far from reaching its optimal state. Only a small portion of the minerals from the rock has been extracted, and they haven’t been fully purified yet.”

Ye Fan had a smile on his face. He extended his hand into the pool for the second time; the rare and precious medicine was right before him, and he naturally wouldn’t miss out on anything.

As his fingers submerged into the pool water, mist and glow boiled, emitting streams of dazzling immortal light that covered his entire arm, causing his bones to clatter and his flesh to tremble, as if undergoing a complete transformation. Moreover, his divine consciousness trembled; he surprisingly detected fragments of the world’s origin, transforming into streaks of imprints mixed within the divine liquid, floating and sinking in the auspicious light. This astonished him. No wonder the purple-eyed woman said this was the strongest bloodline evolution divine liquid; it was a mysterious elixir that could simultaneously strengthen both the physical body and the primordial spirit, possessing certain characteristics of an immortal medicine.

Although it could not extend one’s lifespan, it could powerfully and dominantly activate human potential, allowing one’s bloodline power to approach its strongest state, achieving super evolution! “What a truly mysterious mineral,” Ye Fan said. “This substance is too rare. No wonder you had to blow up so many dead stars and drift in the universe for so many years just to collect this small amount.”

The purple-haired man almost cried hearing these words. Their achievement was already considered heaven-defying; how many people from the Eternal Kingdom went to the depths of the universe to collect, yet struggled to find anything even by the time they died of old age.

“If you just wait patiently for a few decades,” the purple-eyed woman said, “until all the rarest minerals from the silver-grey rocks are extracted, this pool of divine liquid will be comparable to an immortal elixir!” According to what these two said, this was only a preliminary version of the strongest bloodline evolution liquid. Using it this way would be truly regrettable and a net loss; it could even be considered a shameful waste.

“Is that so? Let me research it myself,” Ye Fan said. He hadn't expected this time's gain to be so immense; it was practically like opening an immortal treasure, obtaining such a pool of divine substance—it was too important.

In the Northern Region, undercurrents surged; it hadn’t been peaceful for many days. The Ten Great Royal Clans offered a bounty: anyone who could provide clues about Ye Fan would be granted a Saint Weapon, an astonishing reward. Of course, this wasn't public; it only circulated within the ancient clans and couldn't be brought out into the open. As of today, they were increasingly wary of the human race and feared stirring up trouble.

“Whoever can kill the Human Race Sacred Body,” it was rumored, “a Saint King will protect their path. No matter how great a mistake they commit, their great sins can be forgiven, and they will be pardoned from death nine times.” It is said that a peerless Taoist scripture has appeared among the ancient clans, which will be bestowed as the ultimate reward. The name of this book was not specified, but it was definitely an ancient scripture that shook the past and present. Furthermore, there was another secret rumor: if anyone truly killed the Human Race Sacred Body, a mysterious Great Saint would emerge from seclusion and take them as a personal disciple.

Various rumors circulated within the ancient clans, tempting many and at the same time greatly shocking them. The Human Race Sacred Body had actually attracted the attention of ancient Saints, who were determined to take his life. This showed how terrifying his growth potential was, making all parties uneasy. “It’s difficult for the Human Race Sacred Body to overcome this hurdle,” some said. “Even ancient Saints have been mobilized; who can save him? Once he shows himself, he will surely die!” Others added, “If it weren’t for some apprehension, supreme Great Saints might even personally come forward to deal with the Human Race Sacred Body…”

Some well-informed individuals within the ancient clans were discussing, mentioning the name Gai Jiuyou, which made even the Great Saints of the ancient clans deeply wary. “What kind of person is he?” one asked. “An unfathomable old fellow,” another replied. “It is said that he is as old as nine thousand years. He once visited other ancient stars and had gone extremely far on the path of enlightenment. If his body hadn’t succumbed to the passage of time and his cultivation realm hadn’t dropped, he would be even more terrifying!”

In Sky Village, the Saint Prince appeared, bringing news. He wanted to tell Ye Fan not to appear recently, as the situation was too tense, and many royal clans wanted to secretly eliminate him. Even if the Victorious Fighting Buddha stood on Mount Sumeru, looking down upon the world, he couldn’t completely deter all ancient clans. Some were going to take risks, and it was difficult for ancient Saints to leave any traces when they acted; assassinating a Dao Slasher would be very clean, leaving few clues. In recent days, even the monkey had become much more low-key, as it was rumored that someone also intended to harm him.

The lineage of the Undying Heavenly Sovereign and the Kunzhou Great Saint clan always had strong individuals remaining who had escaped the previous great calamity; this was unavoidable. The Black Emperor admitted frankly that they now didn’t know where Ye Fan was, couldn’t find him at all, and couldn’t effectively transmit messages.

“Others are fine,” it was warned, “but you must especially watch out for the Blood Moon Clan. They are among the top ten most radical and cruel royal clans. In the Primordial Era, they used humans as blood-food and once ruled vast territories. During that period, half of the ancient Saints born among humans were torn apart and devoured by them.”

The Blood Moon Clan, the name of a cruel race, was notorious even among the ancient clans; no one wanted to provoke them, as offending them could easily lead to the destruction of one's entire clan. Hotan, whom Ye Fan had slaughtered, was a Saint from a branch of this clan. The main clan was very powerful; although it no longer possessed its Primordial era might, it was still formidable and was the renowned Blood Moon Royal Lineage. This time, the attempt to kill Ye Fan was initiated by this clan, and the Saint Weapon to be offered was also provided by them. The ancient Blood Moon King was powerful, ranking among the Saint Kings. Furthermore, his grandson, a peerless prodigy only a few hundred years old, had also recently become a Saint; he was of the same generation as Hotan and had an exceptionally close relationship.

“Humans are blood-food we raise!” This was a saying of some fierce ancient Saints from that clan.

Ye Fan was unaware of these things. At this moment, he paid no heed to anything else. He removed his battle suit, revealing his long, well-built physique, which shone with precious radiance, and stepped into the silver-grey rock pool.

The purple-haired man roared, his eyes bloodshot, as if someone had gouged out his heart, his pain piercing to the bone. The fruits of so many years of effort were thus seized by another. The strongest bloodline evolution liquid, a creation of heaven and earth, had cost them endless effort through countless struggles and refinements. They had just begun to achieve something, and it had already changed hands, to be enjoyed by their enemy. “Ah…” He found this fact hard to accept. If he could pounce, he would have liked to devour Ye Fan alive in one gulp.

“Stop shouting,” Ye Fan declared to them, confirming that everything was now his private property. “You provoked me first. If you wanted to capture me as a battle pet, you should have been prepared to be counterattacked. From today onward, this spaceship, you two, and this pool of evolution liquid are all mine.”

Beside him, the purple-eyed woman also watched him unblinkingly. She was certainly not moved by his strong and well-built physique; her face was pale, filled with unwillingness and indignation.

“So comfortable…” Ye Fan soaked in the liquid. The five-colored divine liquid shimmered with brilliant light, bubbling and gushing, burying him within its mist. He felt every cell in his body splitting and reorganizing, as if he were about to ascend into an ethereal realm, covered by misty immortal light, with various divine glows flickering in and out of his pores. This was the strongest bloodline evolution liquid; it could even strengthen one’s divine consciousness, comprehensively enhancing a person’s physique and combat power—otherwise, it wouldn’t have such a name. At this moment, even his bones were disintegrating and then reassembling, sparkling with a crystalline luster and clanking. Ye Fan was so comfortable he almost groaned aloud, feeling blissful like an immortal. His flesh and blood were being purified. As a Sacred Body, his evolution towards the so-called strongest bloodline was limited, but he was slowly changing.

After the comfort, there was suddenly a sharp pain. Divine radiance overflowed from every inch of his body, like sharp knives darting around inside him. The medicinal properties of the mysterious minerals were too domineering; to achieve bloodline evolution, various auxiliary medicinal formulas were needed, which the people on this spaceship had not yet finished refining. Fortunately, Ye Fan possessed the “All” character secret art, which immediately repaired his ruptured blood vessels and bones. Fearless of the domineering medicinal properties, he persisted.

The purple-eyed woman and her brother had been both anticipating and cursing. But seeing Ye Fan endure stubbornly, even though blood flowed freely from his body due to the impact, he was largely unharmed. They couldn’t help but sigh in lament: the Indestructible Golden Body was too strong! During this time, the group who had escaped made several attempts to harass them by controlling the “Sixteen-foot Golden Body.” However, they only managed to rescue captives from various clans and some instruments; they couldn’t get close to the main laboratory at all.

Finally, Ye Fan let out a long, comfortable breath. He suppressed himself to prevent the heavenly tribulation from descending, then opened a domain gate and returned to Sky Village with the enormous flying saucer.
