Chapter 275 Hengfeng Galaxy
The burning sensation quickly subsided, and a sense of strength surged within the body.
Li Yu asked the [Titan Colonization Suit] to split out a genetic detection instrument to investigate the progress of its own genetic chain development.
This was an instrument that he had purchased at great expense of star coins, the purpose of which was to quantify his own strength at any time.
7%!
This is an astonishing number. When he first fused the gene chain, he had only 1% of the development progress.
After this period of training, it only increased by 1%, but the [Desperate Potion] directly increased his development progress by 5%.
"It seems that various human body strengthening potions are also good targets..." Li Yu pondered secretly, staring at the red energy ball that kept surging in his arm.
There is no need to say much about the ability to control fire, Li Yu has it himself, and it is even stronger. And consuming physical energy to quickly heal himself is a good ability.
…
A huge palace built with black flesh and blood is located on a solitary peak.
Five islands that look like beating hearts slowly rotate above the Temple of Flesh and Blood.
The blazing sun hangs high in the sky, and its eternal light cannot dispel the darkness here.
The land around the solitary peak is dotted with countless large quagmires of blood and flesh.
With the Temple of Flesh and Blood as its center, an evil and terrifying base was built.
Small black dots like ants are moving around here. They are countless fanatical believers of the evil god.
The floating blood mist passed through the city, and chariots covered with bloodstains roared through the bloody and muddy roads.
The metal cages collided with each other in the bumps, making clanging sounds all the way, and the sound faded away along with the blood mist spewed out by the heart engine.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and decay, adding a terrifying atmosphere to the city.
This is the God branch of the Hengfeng Galaxy. These quagmires of flesh and blood devour mutilated corpses or living people day and night.
The Temple of Flesh and Blood in the center of the city is the temple of the evil god. Every mountain that carries the Temple of Flesh and Blood is called a sacred mountain.
Nine floating staircases like rivers of blood extend upward from the nine directions of the foot of the mountain, connecting to the gate of the Temple of Flesh and Blood.
On both sides of these nine pilgrimage routes stand a large number of hideous and terrifying creatures, as well as ancient and twisted statues engraved with complicated spells.
At this moment, in the main hall of this Temple of Flesh and Blood, the high priests of the local branch of the evil god gathered here.
There were also a large number of priests from other branches who participated in the event using remote blood projection, and everyone formed a circle.
In the center, there is a virtual screen with an extremely complicated blood-red symbol on it.
"The day of sacrifice is approaching, and the great gods are watching us!"
The high priest, dressed in a luxurious blood-red robe with only his head exposed, raised his arms high and spoke in a tone like a pilgrim.
"Great God!"
"Honorable Creator!"
“…”
Many priests were whispering, their eyes flashing with excitement and enthusiasm.
"Silence." The high priest put his hands together, with a serious face, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at him.
The high priest took out a scepter that looked like a twisted blood vessel, and an altar suddenly rose from the ground behind him.
He turned and walked up, with his back to the crowd and his face towards the other side of the hall, and spoke in a deep and majestic voice:
"Lord of all things, creature of flesh and blood, your humble believer..."
As he said the prayer, the high priest opened the operating screen covered with special symbols. The next moment, the entire Temple of Flesh and Blood began to shake violently!
Boom boom
Just in front of everyone, countless blood and flesh gushed out from the ground and combined together to form a hideous statue. The statue looked very strange, with a hideous and twisted upper body and a dignified lower body.
“God has come!”
…
Interstellar travel is dull and tedious. Three days later, after emerging from the jump state, the Hengfeng Galaxy is not far away.
This galaxy is not on the main route and is therefore not well developed, but it is rare to have two planets with life, and the mineral resources on the other five planets are also quite satisfactory.
Therefore, the Hengfeng Galaxy is still relatively rich.
"Contact with Hengyuan Star, the Hengfeng Star System, was lost a month ago. According to some data from the survey of Guixing, it should have been occupied by the followers of the evil god, Luobo."
The hunter looked much more energetic in his combat uniform, and he projected a lot of information on the holographic screen.
"Lobo - a famous evil god in the universe, a superior god to Nightmare Knight. The source of his power is the flesh and blood of living beings. Most of his followers offer death sacrifices to please him."
"Nightmare Knight?" Li Yu frowned. "Isn't he one of the twelve Lord God Councilors? Doesn't he care about his subordinates wreaking havoc outside?"
"I definitely won't care..." The hunter shook his head. "There aren't many gods that live purely on faith. The Nightmare Knight lives on the power of dreams, and most of his followers live in dreams."
"Gods like Lobo are those who exhaust all resources and are not welcome in the Glorious Council. They can only go to other regions to gain strength."
Gods who exhaust all their resources will not be liked by people. For example, the Blood Duke, who was once one of the main gods, was killed because of exhausting all his resources.
The strength of the twelve main gods is a mystery, and even the hunter can only describe it as very powerful.
Even their subordinate gods must be A-level life forms, but no one knows what level they belong to.
The hunter teased, "You're not scared, are you? Don't worry, Lobo will definitely not come in person. The risk is too great."
"Heh..." Li Yu glanced at him and said, "I'm definitely not worried. When the time comes, I'll sacrifice you and Luo Bo will become a salted fish."
hunter:"……"
The hunter stared at the two planet projections in front of him: "Fengchen Star has not yet been completely invaded by the evil god's followers. We can go to Fengchen Star to rest and get the latest information."
Hengyuan Star, Fengchen Star... These are the two life planets in the Hengfeng Star System. Hengyuan Star has been eroded, and the entire planet is covered in blood clouds, which has the effect of blocking detection.
Fengchen Star has not yet completely fallen. Under the leadership of the Archon and with the help of the 14th Patrol Fleet, it is still struggling and waiting for support.
…
Fengchen Star - Lugo City, once one of the super-large cities on Fengchen Star, but now it is covered with desolate places and mountains of ruins.
Hundreds of high-energy tanks were driving on the once bustling streets. A blood mist gradually spread, and the roars of unknown creatures could be heard faintly.
The team escorting a large number of anxious citizens away from here stretched for nearly a thousand meters. They were the last batch of refugees from the city of Lugo.
The tank commander looked grim as he looked at the blood mist gradually pouring in from both sides and gave an order: "Change the defense formation and prepare to attack!"
All the tanks turned their gun barrels and the kinetic weapons they carried, aiming at the spreading blood mist.
The unknown roar was getting closer and closer, as if some huge monster was approaching, and the earth was shaking slightly.
"Lock on the target and attack!" The commander stared at the combat screen, and the thermal energy detector clearly marked the enemy's location.
Bang!
The dull sound dispersed the blood mist around it, and a thick purple energy column shot out from the muzzle and disappeared into the depths of the blood mist.
Along with the miserable wailing, the noise around seemed to stop, and the commander breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment... blood mist surged, and dozens of blood shadows rushed out, directly overturning the heavy tank.
"Enemy attack!" The commander's pupils contracted.
Those blood shadows were five meters tall, covered with wriggling blood clots and dripping blood. They seemed to be a product of patchwork, and each blood shadow looked different.
"ah!"
"Monster!" The escorting citizens screamed, their faces turned pale, and at the same time they wailed and fled in panic.
"Keep the formation!" the commander shouted loudly, and at the same time raised the kinetic energy firearm in his hand and shot at the blood shadows.
"It's a giant blood beast! Communicator, request support from the patrol fleet!"
A large number of panicked citizens fled in all directions, some of whom were trampled to death by the huge blood shadow. The commander gritted his teeth and organized a resistance.
The muzzle of the gun flickered constantly, and wailing and gunshots were intertwined. After about half an hour, they suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of corpses lay on the ground, bloody and mangled.
"Damn it!" The commander was sweating profusely, and the muzzle of his gun was red and smoking.
"Mother!"
Not far away, beside the few remaining tanks, a young child was sitting on the ground crying, his body covered with stains and his eyes full of fear.
Not far away, the blood beast was running towards there, trying to overturn the tank that was still outputting damage.
The commander's palms were sweaty and his eyes were full of struggle.
Just before the blood beast's giant feet landed, hundreds of figures flashed across the sky, wearing standard armor and holding laser swords, sweeping across the blood beasts.
With a hissing sound, the twitching limbs were cut off and fell to the ground.
"It's the ship-destroying squad!!" The commander looked a little relieved. This was the ship-destroying squad of the cruising fleet, a squad originally designed to deal with string battles.
It is said that all members are advanced life forms with powerful strength, and they are an elite team.
This group of people moved quickly and efficiently, and dealt with all the blood beasts at the scene in no time.
The captain picked up the child, raised his visor, and looked around with a stern expression. The commander hurriedly stepped forward and said gratefully: "Thank you for your support... otherwise..."
"It's okay. We happened to be nearby and rushed over after receiving the request for support. "
He immediately ordered: "Deal with the battlefield, start the wind compressor, and escort the survivors away from here."
"yes!"
The portable wind compressor was unfolded, and a huge amount of blood mist was sucked into it, and the place gradually became clear.
However, as the vision gradually became clearer, everyone stood there in a daze, staring at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Hundreds of meters away, a large number of blood beasts gathered together, staring at them quietly.
Such a scene made everyone unable to help but step back, and a chill rose from the coccyx to the top of the head.
"How is this possible?" The tank commander fell to the ground in horror. "Why didn't the thermal energy instrument detect it?"
"It's the priest!" the captain said in a deep voice, his face grim: "This is a trap for us!"
If you look carefully, you can see that these blood beasts are covered with a thin red film, which comes from the grinning priests who are mixed in with the blood beasts.
This red film can block basic detection and achieve the effect of being invisible in the blood mist.
"Captain...what should we do?" The team members gathered together and stared at the encirclement that was gradually forming around them.
The captain's palms were sweating. Facing so many blood beasts, they were afraid that they would not be able to defeat them with two fists.
Unless he gave up these people and left from the air, the captain looked at the child in his arms and the citizens who were gradually gathering around him, with a struggle in his eyes.
"Captain, look up!" a team member suddenly shouted in surprise. The captain looked up suddenly and saw a large number of blood beasts flapping their ferocious flesh wings in the air, covering the entire sky. It was not feasible to leave the sky.
Obviously, the other party also knew that they could fly and blocked their escape route.
"It's a flying blood beast..." The captain was suddenly shocked and relieved at the same time. Now he didn't have to choose.
"Now, the only thing we can do is... fight to the death!" he said in a deep voice, closing his visor. The child in his arms fell on his shoulders, not daring to look up.
There were probably thousands of surviving citizens, gathered together, with looks of despair on their faces, some even closed their eyes, waiting for death!
Just as despair was spreading, the citizens lying on the ground waiting to die felt a voice ringing in their ears. They opened their eyes blankly and their eyes widened in an instant.
The sky, which was originally covered with blood mist, gradually turned golden, and then golden thunder rolled, making a dull roar.
"What is that!?"
"Could it be a punishment from the gods?"
He was not the only one who noticed something strange. People around him looked up one after another, with hope in their eyes. No matter what the golden thunder was, it was better than the current situation.
The priests among the blood beasts around frowned and stared at the golden thunder in the space.
Suddenly, their pupils contracted, and the golden thunder in their eyes enlarged, breaking through all obstacles and landing on the ground.
Boom!
The overwhelming golden thunder fell like rain, the sky and earth were bright, and everyone's eyes were covered by golden thunder.
This scene, which seemed like a punishment from God, left everyone stunned. It was as if something surged into their heads, their tailbones contracted, and their scalps went numb.
Amidst the dense golden thunder, wailing sounds continued to be heard and a fishy, burnt smell filled the air. This thunderstorm did not last long, only about ten minutes.
When the thunder gradually dissipated , all that appeared before everyone were charred corpses all over the ground. Apart from them, there was no other living creature standing.
"Look... there's a person in the sky!!" someone shouted in surprise.
The sky that had been ravaged by thunder was clear and the blood mist disappeared. A figure could be clearly seen descending rapidly in the sky.
Bang!
The spider-web-like cracks on the concrete floor, the white and gold armor, and the fluttering cape all showed that this man was extraordinary.
The mask faded away layer by layer, revealing a handsome face, but he hasn't spoken yet.
The rest of the ship-destroying team heard the usually calm captain excitedly say, "Baron Li... Baron Li Yu, is it really you?"
Am I so famous now? Li Yu muttered to himself. Before he could even introduce himself, his identity was exposed.
