Chapter 87 The "Golden Behemoth" Brand Blood-Generating Machine
"Great, everything is complete."
Lu Xingchen ran his fingertips over the rough vine-like texture of the storage bag, feeling the unique warmth and resilience of the plant.
He carefully took out the golden Behemoth, which was curled up in a ball. The little guy was covered with fine, pale golden fur, and his breathing was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.
He then carefully put away the vine-woven bag. When the bag was tightened, a faint green light could be seen flowing between the vine fibers—this was no ordinary bag; its weaving material was the legendary evergreen vine root.
There are scattered records of legends about the evergreen ivy in the ancient books of Douluo Continent.
In ancient times, at the very heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, there once lay a life-giving lake that nourished all things. Beneath the lake's surface lay life crystals formed from the condensed life energy of the entire Douluo Star.
The evergreen ivy is the only wondrous thing that can grow on that crystal.
The growth rate of the ivy is extremely slow, growing only an inch in a thousand years, and each segment contains a magnificent source of life.
The effects of this miraculous object can be summarized in eight words: treat wounds and prolong life.
In ancient times, the top ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest all made their nests in the Lake of Life.
Every time they break through 100,000 years of cultivation, they will encounter a heavenly tribulation that destroys the world. The power of the heavenly tribulation often damages the source of life. However, by simply integrating a small section of the Evergreen Vine into their bodies, they can quickly repair their source and even add hundreds of years of lifespan out of thin air.
Even ordinary humans, if they consume an inch of the Evergreen Vine, can live an extra hundred years, and its value has long surpassed all worldly treasures.
Of course, the bag in Lu Xingchen's hand was made from the roots of the ivy, not the main stem, so its value was reduced, but it was still a rare treasure.
If it is made into a meditation cushion, a Soul Master can sit on it to cultivate, which can subtly nourish vitality, prolong life, and protect one's own origin.
It is an excellent choice for storing rare and precious materials. It can not only perfectly lock in the medicinal effects of the treasures, but also continuously nourish them with its own life energy, allowing the spirituality of the treasures to grow continuously during the storage period.
"So, what's the best way to deal with this guy?"
Lu Xingchen placed the golden behemoth's body on the ground; the creature was clearly still in its infancy.
Even when fully stretched out, its body length is only about one meter. Its shape is similar to that of a young gorilla, with a touch of monkey-like agility. However, its eyes are closed, and its aura is as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
He could clearly sense that the golden Behemoth was still alive, but its life force was almost exhausted. It wouldn't be difficult to revive it, but it would inevitably require a massive amount of rare resources.
Lu Xingchen pondered whether to directly expend resources to revive it and take it for his own use, or to dismantle it and use it as material for creating new creations.
After a brief moment of contemplation, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes: "Melt it."
Rather than saving the half-dead cub, he preferred to use its original materials to create a more malleable being that better suited his own needs.
"Flesh and Blood Magic"
A deep incantation rang out from Lu Xingchen's mouth. Before he finished speaking, his right arm suddenly transformed into a pure and viscous mass of flesh and blood, glowing with a dark red luster, as if a candle had been melted by high temperature.
As if it possessed a life of its own, the mass of flesh and blood rapidly surged toward the golden Behemoth on the ground, quickly permeating through its seven orifices and pores, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire cub, transforming it into a huge, constantly writhing lump of flesh about two meters in diameter, with fine droplets of blood slowly flowing from its surface.
Lu Xingchen took out a piece of paper and wrote the seven powerful characters "Golden Behemoth Culture Dish" on it, then stuck the paper on the surface of the meat.
This flesh and blood magic has a dual function: on the one hand, it continuously extracts the blood and primordial power of the Golden Behemoth, purifying it into the purest material.
On the other hand, it will continuously supply nutrients and vitality into its body to ensure that it does not die completely.
To put it bluntly, Lu Xingchen transformed this golden Behemoth into a "blood-boosting machine" that continuously produced the blood of top-tier soul beasts.
As long as energy is regularly injected into the flesh mass to maintain the Golden Behemoth's vital signs, it is equivalent to having an inexhaustible super soul beast blood pack.
"Besides this, Li Mengjie has been sending me a lot of good stuff lately, so I shouldn't be short of material for a long time to come."
Lu Xingchen activated the storage bracelet on his wrist.
As the light flashed, dozens of crystal-clear soul spheres floated out, each containing a uniquely shaped energy body that exuded a powerful aura.
Top-tier Soul Spirits: Ghostly Leopard King, Scorpion Tiger, Twin Cyclops, Cave Spider, Soul-Eating Spider, etc.
Next to it were more than a dozen specially made incubation tanks, in which the limbs of various soul beasts were soaked. The soaking liquid had a faint blue light, perfectly preserving the vitality of the limbs.
These are all top-tier resources that Li Mengjie, using her position as the tower master of the Tianhai City Spirit Pagoda, spent a large amount of Spirit Pagoda contribution points to gather from headquarters during this period:
The two hind limbs of the human-faced spider.
The scythe-like forelimbs of the Death Spider.
The heart of the Dark Gold Bear.
The sharp paws of the Deinonychus.
One of the legs of the Heavenly Dragon Horse.
The Ice Bear's Ding—each one is a top-tier soul beast material renowned throughout the Douluo Continent.
The only regret is that there isn't a single Super Soul.
Even at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, super soul beasts are extremely rare. Even with Li Mengjie's status, applying for a transfer would require going through layers of approval, and it would not be something that could be done in a short time.
But these top-tier soul spirits alone are enough for Lu Xingchen to squander for a long time.
Lu Xingchen casually picked up a crimson soul sphere. Inside the sphere, a huge fireball was burning fiercely, the flames a pure golden yellow. Even though the soul sphere blocked the flames, one could still feel a scorching heat emanating from it.
The name of this spirit is "Sun".
Top-tier Soul Spirit: Sun Soul Spirit.
This is one of the scientific research achievements of the Mingdu Spirit Pagoda. It collects the genes of dozens of top-level fire-attribute soul beasts, purifies, fuses, and cultivates them, and finally imitates the lost Sun Martial Soul of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, creating a top-level soul spirit through artificial replication.
Never underestimate the research capabilities of the Spirit Pagoda. Thousands of years of accumulation have enabled them to master the technology of replicating top-tier spirits. However, the resources required for this process are enough to deter most forces.
For fire-attribute soul masters, the value of this Sun Soul Spirit is no less than that of an ordinary super soul spirit.
It was rated as top-tier simply because its attributes did not reach the level of ultimate fire.
However, in Lu Xingchen's opinion, although this soul is named "Sun", it is essentially more like a giant fireball condensed to the extreme. Calling it "Sun" is a bit of an exaggeration.
"Qian Renxue's six-winged angel martial soul possesses the three major attributes of holiness, light, and fire, and can even mobilize the true fire of the sun. This sun soul spirit should be extremely compatible with her bones."
Lu Xingchen muttered to himself, recalling his previous experiment—he had used his own blood to combine with Qian Renxue's skeleton, which unexpectedly created a human still in the process of development.
This time, if the Sun Soul Spirit is incorporated into it, along with Qian Renxue's right arm bone, wrapped in flesh and blood magic, and guided by the "Mutation" authority, a truly powerful soul beast can likely be created.
Although the soul has no physical form and is merely a phantom energy body, the power of the soul beast bloodline contained within it is real and undeniable.
The illusory soul of the sun,
It contains the blood of the "Chaotic Sea".
The right arm bone of Qianrenxue, imbued with divine power —
Lu Xingchen flicked his fingers, casting the three items one by one into the vortex of flesh and blood in front of him, and then activated flesh and blood magic to firmly envelop them.
"Buzz"
The dark red mass of flesh kept wriggling and contracting, eventually coalescing into an egg-shaped object the size of a basketball with golden patterns on its surface.
He flicked his finger, and a thin stream of golden light flowed into the egg—this was the core of the virtual personality, and the key to giving this newborn soul beast intelligence.
[Name: Unnamed]
[Race: Soul Beast?]
[Status: In gestation (Countdown: 10 years and 6 days)]
[Origin: Born from the blood of God, fused with rare materials such as the soul of the sun and the right arm bone of a six-winged angel, possessing both holy and fire attributes; other aspects are unknown.]
Looking at the information panel from "0-02", Lu Xingchen couldn't help but frown.
The good news is that they successfully created a soul beast this time, so they're finally on the right track.
The bad news is that this gestation period is far too long.
A full ten years?!
By the time it hatches, the daylily will be too cold.
"Well, at least this proves that I'm on the right track."
Lu Xingchen let out a soft sigh of relief, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
Although the ten-year gestation period of this soul beast egg left him somewhat helpless, it at least proved the feasibility of fusing flesh magic with rare materials, which was already the greatest gain.
His gaze slowly swept over the several lumps of flesh in the small plane. These creations, which he had personally crafted, each exuded a powerful life force and were undoubtedly high-quality beings with boundless potential.
But behind this potential lies a agonizingly long gestation period; unless a massive amount of energy is poured into them, these creatures won't be born for at least three to five years.
"It seems we need to concentrate our resources and prioritize allocating them to a few specific souls, while allowing the rest to develop normally for the time being."
Lu Xingchen stepped to the leftmost lump of flesh. This lump of flesh was much larger than the others, with a diameter of three meters. A faint golden halo flowed across its surface, and the outline of a human embryo could be vaguely seen.
This was the first human prototype he created, a clone with Qian Renxue's torso bones as the core framework and his own blood as the fusion.
"It's not completely finalized yet, so let me add a little something extra."
A hint of eagerness flashed in Lu Xingchen's eyes as he raised his hand and made a grasping motion towards the "Golden Behemoth Culture Dish" not far away.
The dark red mass of flesh writhed slightly, and a thick column of golden blood was slowly drawn out from it, carrying the unique, violent life force of the Golden Behemoth, drawing a scorching arc in the air.
"Freeze!"
Lu Xingchen conjured a pale red magical halo at his fingertips, enveloping the golden blood within. He activated his flesh and blood magic to its fullest extent, continuously stripping away impurities and violent factors from the blood, leaving only the purest and most refined primal power.
"go."
A moment later, the purified golden blood transformed into a slender stream of light, which he precisely injected into the lump of flesh before him.
"Bang"
The mass of flesh trembled violently, and the golden halo on its surface instantly surged. The faint "crackling" sound of bones growing could be heard from inside, and the life force was even more abundant and profound than before.
The power of the Golden Behemoth's bloodline not only greatly enhances physical strength but also grants it terrifying explosive power, undoubtedly providing an excellent boost to this body.
Lu Xingchen turned to look at another fleshy mass next to him. This mass was slightly smaller, with only a thin layer of blood-red film covering its surface. Its aura was pure and condensed, without any extraneous attributes mixed in.
This was the second human prototype he created, and also the most unique one—it was not incorporated with any foreign soul bones or soul beast materials, but was purely formed from his own blood.
"Let's just forget about this guy."
Lu Xingchen raised his hand and hovered it above the lump of flesh. After hesitating for a moment, he finally withdrew his hand. He really wanted to see what would be different about this being that was purely born from its own blood.
"The two human embryos and the silver wolf spirit will be supplied first, and the rest of the spirits will be supplied later."
After finalizing the distribution plan, Lu Xingchen turned his attention to Bibi Dong's coffin.
"By the way, this can also be used to create soul beasts."
The divine bones of the Rakshasa God are of a higher grade than those of Qian Renxue.
Because Bibi Dong died as a god, in the "0-02" assessment, in addition to the dominant Rakshasa divine power, this divine bone also faintly contained some of the Asura god's killing divine power.
This is truly surprising.
Bibi Dong ultimately died under the Asura Demon Sword. Logically speaking, the Asura divine power should have completely destroyed her divine bones.
But perhaps she had already cultivated the Killing God Domain before her death, and that deep-rooted killing will had some kind of secret affinity with the power of the Asura God.
As a result, when Bibi Dong died and her soul dissipated, some of the Asura divine power not only did not destroy her divine bones, but instead intertwined with the Rakshasa divine power, taking root deep within her divine bones, forming a unique symbiotic state of dual divine power.
"Let's test the waters with the soul spirit first."
Lu Xingchen took out Bibi Dong's torso bones from the coffin. The moment his fingertips touched the surface of the bones, an extreme chill shot through his veins and into his heart, mixed with a faint killing intent.
As before, it was wrapped in flesh magic, and viscous flesh instantly surged out, enveloping the entire torso bone like a living tide.
The flesh and blood writhed and contracted continuously, eventually forming a fleshy mass about two meters in diameter. Its surface flowed with a dark purple and dark red luster, firmly imprisoning the power of the divine bone within, leaving only a gap for materials to be incorporated.
Then, Lu Xingchen took out two completely black soul spirit orbs, each containing a sealed soul spirit:
One of them was a Death Spider, its body covered in purplish-black carapace and its eight limbs sharp as knives.
On the other side was a more slender Soul-Devouring Spider, exuding a devouring aura.
These two spirits are exactly the same as Bibi Dong's twin martial spirits before her death, and they have a natural compatibility in terms of both attributes and bloodline.
"Soul spirits derived from martial souls of the same attribute should have a pretty good compatibility as fusion materials, right?"
A hint of anticipation flashed in Lu Xingchen's eyes. With a flick of his finger, the two soul orbs shattered instantly, and the souls of the Death Spider and the Soul Devouring Spider transformed into two streams of light, rushing straight into the gap in the fleshy mass.
"Click"
The mass of flesh trembled violently, and the dark purple aura on its surface surged instantly. Faint roars and the sound of bones rubbing together came from within, as if two forces were colliding and merging fiercely.
