Luo Kai encountered many strange creatures along the way. They were the so-called Xenomorphs.
These Xenomorphs came in all shapes and sizes. Some looked like rotten wood, while others looked like they were made of stone and mud. They were a strange combination of inorganic matter and flesh. Some were strong, and some were weak. The strong ones were at the level of mature Vicious Beasts, and the weak ones were only a little stronger than ordinary animals. The only troublesome thing was that there were so many of them. During the day, they were nowhere to be seen, but at night, they would gather from all directions, densely packed and endless.
Luo Kai had no choice but to use a large-scale attack skill. His throat began to vibrate slightly, and invisible ripples formed into ripples that spread rapidly in all directions. Once the swarming Xenomorphs got close, the weak ones were directly crushed, while the strong ones gradually couldn't resist the invisible vibrations of the infrasound and were frozen in place.
He began to use the Static Body Art. Every attack of the longsword in his hand was accompanied by an astonishing heat wave that could almost melt stone and metal. Soon, the surrounding weeds were scorched and set on fire.
After killing for an unknown amount of time, the Xenomorphs finally retreated. Luo Kai walked to a corpse that was half stone and half flesh. He carefully examined it, and his heart faintly touched upon the secrets of these Xenomorphs.
The birth of life had been a great mystery since ancient times. However, it must be a process of transformation from inorganic matter to organic matter, and finally to cells. In other words, life was formed from stone and mud.
The Realm of Shattered Spirit might be the ruins of a prehistoric civilization that was later occupied by the Evil God. He used this place as a biological experiment site in a vain attempt to control the code of life.
These Xenomorphs were very likely the products of a genetic experiment. That was why they had taken such a form and had extremely strong genetic invasiveness.
The next day, he arrived in a vast wasteland. The wasteland was full of gravel and sand, and almost no grass grew.
There was a huge pit in the middle of the wasteland. Traces of cold and dark aura constantly seeped out of the pit. It was a bit like the crack in the abyss that he had encountered before. Feeling a bit strange, he sped up toward the pit. This huge pit was several kilometers wide and bottomless. A bone-chilling aura emanated from it, and the air above was disturbed, forming a strong suction force.
Luo Kai stood at the edge of the crater. He didn't know why, but his heart was pounding. There was something very important in the crater. He pondered for a moment. Wasn't that what he came for? Without hesitation, he took a deep breath and jumped down.
As he fell faster and faster, his surroundings quickly darkened. Gradually, there wasn't even a trace of light left. This was a kind of darkness that seemed to be able to swallow everything. Humans were creatures of the sun. If it were anyone else, they would naturally be terrified. However, in absolute darkness, Shi Yan was like a fish in water. The boundless darkness seemed to welcome the arrival of the Dark Lord, rapidly feeding back everything around him.
After falling in the darkness for several minutes, the space became wider and wider. Even with his psychic power, he couldn't detect the boundary of this place. The sound of flowing water entered his ears. There was an underground river under this abyss. On both sides of the river were huge stone pillars that stretched as far as the eye could see. No, they weren't stone pillars, but an underground coal sea.
It could be imagined that billions of years ago, this place was a sea of trees. Perhaps it was buried by a huge earthquake.
He stroked a huge wooden fossil next to him. This wooden fossil was as hard as metal.
The density of all materials in this underground world was surprisingly high. Not only the fossilized soil, but even the flowing water in the underground river was the same. Even the gravity here was much stronger than on the surface.
The most strange thing was that the concentration of oxygen in this underground world was also very high. If there was a light source, life could definitely survive here.
He constantly saw fossils of creatures around him. There were huge insects and mammals.
After a long time, he stopped beside a ten-meter-tall, huge human-shaped fossil. This huge human-shaped fossil in front of him was definitely a human. This was because he was wearing an armor made of unknown metal and was holding a huge spear in his hand.
What shocked Luo Kai was that this giant had been dead for god knows how many years, but he still emitted an extremely sharp aura. His psychic power hadn't declined even until now. He thought of another large branch of the human race, the Titan race. It was said that every member of the Titan race was a giant and had the strength to move mountains. Could this fossilized giant in front of him be a member of the Titan race?
He continued to explore this vast underground space. Gradually, he arrived in front of a row of palace buildings that were already in ruins.
The palace buildings were made of unknown black stones. Most of them were buried in the underground coal sea.
He walked into a stone hall that was exposed to the outside. There was a human-shaped statue enshrined in the stone hall. It was incomplete. It didn't have a head or arms.
He walked over and wanted to take a closer look. Suddenly, a cloud of black mist rose from the statue's incomplete head. A small human figure could be faintly seen in the black mist.
The human figure seemed to be bound by the statue and couldn't leave. When he saw Luo Kai, he became extremely excited. The body formed by the black mist kept gathering and rolling. He said in an old voice, "Master, you're finally here!"
Luo Kai took a few steps back vigilantly. He pulled out the white bone long blade on his back and summoned the Blade of Dismemberment. Against this kind of strange creature without a body, the Blade of Dismemberment was more lethal.
Soon, the needle-like Blade of Dismemberment emerged from between his eyebrows. It happily circled around him and a terrifying aura of destruction appeared.
The human figure wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he became even more excited. His body gradually condensed and he directly knelt on the ground in front of Luo Kai. He cried bitterly and said, "Master, this old servant has waited for you for so long!"
Luo Kai was stunned. This thing's life force was very strange. It was similar to the Abyssal Dagger. It was formed by a cloud of pure dark particles. Dark creatures had always been cunning. It was better not to listen to his nonsense.
Just as killing intent rose in his heart, the small human figure immediately sensed it. He said seriously, "If Master wants this old servant to die, this old servant naturally wouldn't dare to disobey. However, Master's things are with this old servant. Before I return them to Master, I won't dare to die!"
He suddenly began to beat his chest. Soon, a drop of black liquid was spat out.
The moment the black liquid appeared, his body rapidly dissipated. He said some strange words, "Light is only a moment. Darkness is eternal … Darkness will eventually devour everything … Destruction is the beginning of all things …"
Luo Kai's mind was greatly shaken. He vaguely felt that these words were very familiar. Just as he was a little dazed, the drop of black liquid suddenly drilled into his glabella.
A series of intricate images rushed into his mind. They also contained an incomparably powerful spiritual willpower. He was so full that he felt like his head was going to split open.
After a long time, he opened his eyes tiredly and frowned. The black liquid was also a kind of inheritance memory. However, it wasn't the inheritance memory of a Saint. It was the inheritance memory of a god. This was a drop of ancient god origin blood.
