Wu Ming pressed his lips together as he listened to Xue Ying's introduction.
He knew that he was finally about to learn the real secret of the Sky Blue Planet.
That was of great importance.
Xue Ying went on.
"Those ten meteorites carried special energy. They were scattered all over the Sky Blue Planet and became the basis for the mutation of animals and plants.
It was from then on that ferocious beasts began to appear. "
"Later on, after some research, we found out that the ten meteorites were carrying Evolution Crystals!"
"Every Meteor contains several S-class Super Evolution Crystals and a large number of C-class Evolution Crystals."
"Those evolution crystals were scattered all over the world. The special radiation they carried made the Sky Blue Planet a suitable place for pets and beasts to live.
"Later on, after the radiation weakened, those evolution crystals became usable crystals like these today."
"The ten pyramids were found on top of the crater. However, the last pyramid moved. I don't know why."
Hearing this, Wu Ming basically understood.
"So, how many S-grade evolution crystals are there?
I remember that there are already ten known pieces. "Wu Ming asked aloud.
Xue Ying answered, "On average, there are three S-grade evolution crystals in each meteorite. Most of them are controlled by S-grade warriors. For example, I have one."
With that said, Xue Ying extended her hand.
On her palm, there is a crystal that looks exactly the same as Wu Ming's S-Rank Super Evolution Crystal, exuding a cold radiant energy.
"Are there so many S-grade evolution crystals?" Wu Ming asked.
At first.
He thought that there were only a dozen S-grade evolution crystals. He didn't know that there were at least thirty of them.
"Do you have any more questions?"
Xue Ying put away the S-grade evolution crystal. "By the way, after pets and beasts reach the S-grade, they will need to be irradiated by S-grade evolution crystals.
At the very least, they will have to be irradiated for one hour every three years. Otherwise, they will degenerate. "
"They will degenerate?" Wu Ming was dumbfounded.
"Yes, but they will degenerate slowly."
Xue Ying nodded her delicate chin. "But even if an S class degenerates, it's impossible for them to leave S class until they die. At most, they'll be slightly weaker than their peers."
"Oh, that's good." Wu Ming nodded.
He had thought that without the illumination of the S-rank Super Evolution Crystal, the S-rank would fall to A-rank, but it turned out that it was only a slight regression from the original foundation, which was not a big deal.
"Also, if you can get the radiation from the S-rank Super Evolution Crystal for more than half an hour every day, your improvement speed will obviously double," Xue Ying added.
"Understood." Wu Ming nodded.
Without the S-rank Super Evolution Crystal, it would slowly degenerate.
With the S-Class Super Evolution Crystal, one's improvement speed would be doubled.
The pets or beasts with Class S super evolution crystals would grow stronger and stronger until they reached the peak of the world.
"Let's get down to business!"
Xue Ying sat down, took out her Goddess Pagoda key, and placed it on the round table in front of her.
Wu Ming, Long Zhentian, Chu Yuanxun and the other eight Pagoda Masters also took out their keys and placed them on the round table. The nine keys formed a circle and emitted a special light.
"It's activating."
Xue Ying took out the S-rank Super Evolution Crystal and let it release a special radiation to speed up the transformation of the nine keys.
Buzzing!
Three minutes later, the nine keys rose into the air and flew in a certain direction.
"Go after them!"
A pair of wings that looked like a white swan appeared on Xue Ying's back. She flapped her wings and flew up gracefully. Behind her was a field of mist, which carried Wu Ming and the others along.
Whoosh!
The nine keys were fast, three times the speed of sound, about one thousand meters per second. Fortunately, Xue Ying was fast as well. She was able to bring Wu Ming and the others with her.
Soon, they flew out of the field of mist.
Wu Ming turned around and looked at the fog-shrouded Goddess Island. He couldn't help but ask, "Master of the Goddess Pagoda, aren't you afraid that the field of mist will disappear after you leave the island?"
The Master of the Goddess Pagoda smiled.
"I've lived on the Goddess Island for a hundred years. My field of mist has already assimilated the space around the island. Even if I leave, the field of mist will still exist for more than ten years. So, I'll be fine."
"I see!" Wu Ming nodded.
Whoosh!
They kept flying. Finally, after an hour, they reached the depths of the ocean.
The seawater there was dark blue.
Splash!
All the keys fell into the water and disappeared.
"Under the sea!"
Xue Ying said, "The average depth of this sea is more than five thousand meters. The water pressure is very high. Be careful. Don't be crushed by the water pressure."
With that said, Xue Ying took the lead and dived into the water.
The others gritted their teeth and merged with their pets, entering the water.
Wu Ming, Long Zhentian, Ye Sanniang, Yu Lili, the four-winged angel and Nightingale were all wearing armor made of Material Balls. They weren't afraid of the pressure at all.
They were also equipped with breathing masks, which allowed them to come and go freely under the water.
Five thousand meters underwater.
The place was already dark and devoid of light.
"Class A talent, Holy Light Illumination!"
Xue Ying, the owner of the Goddess Tower, shouted. The water around her was pushed away, forming an ellipsoidal shield with a diameter of two meters. The shield was emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the surroundings.
Everyone seemed to have found the right direction. They followed Xue Ying and finally arrived at a pyramid in the deep sea.
That pyramid was strange.
It was three hundred meters tall and looked magnificent. The length and width of the base were five hundred meters. The pyramid was dark gold in color. A closed door could be seen at the base.
"Follow me!"
Xue Ying took the lead.
At the moment, the nine keys were floating in front of the door of the tenth pyramid. They were rotating slowly as if they were attracted by a special force field.
There were nine grooves on the door of the pyramid.
Xue Ying inserted the nine keys according to the pattern and order and then took out the Class S super evolution crystal to illuminate the door.
Ten seconds later.
Rumble!
The pyramid began to tremble. The door was finally opened. A hazy mist was spreading out, forming a bubble on the surface to prevent the seawater from entering. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xue Ying, Wu Ming and the others stepped through the door. Xue Ying used the Class S super evolution crystal to illuminate the door.
"We're finally in!"
Xue Ying let out a long breath.
The rest of the people also looked relaxed.
"Let's go."
Xue Ying continued to illuminate and led the group through the three-meter-wide and five-meter-tall passage.
Ka! Ka!
Ka! The group had just walked fifty meters when a strange mechanical sound was heard. The walls around them opened, and two pairs of combat puppets wearing dark red armor walked out.
They were holding blazing swords and slashed at the group.
"They're Class C guard puppets!"
Wu Ming used his Insightful Eye to see their origin and quickly reminded the others.
"Mere Class C, I'll deal with them!"
Long Zhentian merged with the Hundred Faces Beast and wore the second generation dark gold armor. He looked like a martial artist wielding a sword as he rushed forward.
Rip!
Long Zhentian easily opened the path for the group by slashing a Class C guard puppet.
A few minutes later, everything was calm.
The group took a few turns and climbed hundreds of steps before finally reaching the center of the tenth pyramid.
This was a large space that was fifty meters long, forty meters wide, and thirty meters tall. The walls were inlaid with special crystals that illuminated this space.
"What's that?"
Yu Lili pointed at the center of this space. There was a circular stone platform that was ten meters in diameter and half a meter tall. There were special words engraved on it that no one could understand.
And on the circular stone platform, there was a sarcophagus floating!
It was five meters long, three meters wide, and three meters tall. It was three meters away from the surface of the circular stone platform. It was just floating quietly, and no one knew what was inside.
"Found it!"
"This is the alien technology we need."
Xue Ying pointed at the floating sarcophagus and breathed heavily.
The others looked over as well. Their eyes were filled with excitement, and their breathing gradually quickened.
Wu Ming was very cautious and opened his Insightful Eye first.
[Name: Esper Sarcophagus]
[Status: Sealed]
[Remark: There's a strange alien technology sealed inside, but it's also accompanied by a terrifying danger. Be careful!]
Seeing this, Wu Ming's pupils shrank.
At the same time, Xue Ying, Long Zhentian, and the other eight tower masters had already walked to the floating sarcophagus and used the radiation of the Grade S Super Evolution Crystal to illuminate the sarcophagus.
Buzz!
After the Esper Sarcophagus absorbed the strange energy, the patterns on its surface began to glow and heat up. The six stone slabs automatically spread out and released the seal.
"Be careful!" Wu Ming reminded loudly.
But it was too late!
After the six stone slabs spread out, a strange black cocoon was revealed inside the sarcophagus. It had a maximum diameter of two meters and a length of four meters. The surface of the cocoon flashed with strange light patterns.
A terrifying aura gradually awakened from the black cocoon, and it sent chills down one's spine.
Wu Ming immediately opened his Insightful Eye.
[Name: God of Darkness]
[Status: Unsealed]
[Grade: Grade S]
[Talents: Grade S Devouring Eye, Grade S Terrifying Claw, Grade A Seraphic Speed, Grade A Divine Healing …]
[Remark: A terrifying hunter. After awakening, it will kill all the creatures nearby and devour them for its own use.]
"It's really looking for death!"
Wu Ming complained. Then, he took out a large number of Spiritual Matter Balls and threw them in all directions.
Crack!
At the same time, the black cocoon quickly exploded and bounced off the two Spiritual Matter Balls that were thrown at it, revealing the true appearance of the God of Darkness.
It was a humanoid creature that was three meters tall.
It looked similar to a vampire, but its entire body was black and covered with strange black leather armor. The bat wings on its back flapped gently, and it was like a black phantom that swept across the sky.
"Be careful!"
Xue Ying warned loudly and took the initiative to attack. She used her Grade S talent, Sword of Destruction, and formed a golden light sword. She held it tightly and slashed at the God of Darkness.
However, this sword strike missed!
After the God of Darkness dodged the sword, it quickly arrived in front of a Grade B Beast Tamer and slashed him in half.
This scene instantly stunned everyone.
