Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1181 - 522: Space Blood Crystal

"Mr. Liang, this is the interior of the Mirage Snake Space."

Li Qinghua and Liang Yuan stepped into a vast atrium bathed in eerie green-blue glow, though it wasn’t excessively huge.

Compared to the massive atrium on Mist City’s Floating Island, this one was far tinier.

Its scale matched roughly that of a soccer field.

Green-blue luminescence saturated the entire chamber, radiating from both the ground and the fleshy walls.

Liang Yuan detected intense energy pulses surging through this place.

Li Qinghua elaborated, "This serves as the Mirage Snake’s heart, brimming with vast reserves of spatial superpower energy."

"Through countless years of buildup, that energy has seeped deep into the atrium’s fleshy walls and bloodstream, condensing over an indeterminate time into countless crystal stones."

"In fact, these qualify as even purer energy blood crystals than typical superpower stones."

Liang Yuan gave a subtle nod—he knew this well, since his inventory still stored heaps of ice-attribute blood crystals harvested from Mist City.

"Such an abundance of energy blood crystals will surely let you boost your power rapidly," Liang Yuan remarked with a grin.

Li Qinghua nodded gratefully, "Fortunately, the Swordtail Sea Snake wasn’t a spatial mutation beast, or it would have devoured and assimilated these blood crystals ages ago after processing the heart core."

"Now, they’ve fallen right into my hands."

Liang Yuan inquired, "Have you located the Brain Lake? Does it hold blood crystals like these?"

"I know the Brain Lake’s position but haven’t checked it out yet. It probably harbors mostly spirit-class crystals." Li Qinghua guessed.

Liang Yuan nodded in agreement; unlike the atrium, the Brain Lake teemed with spiritual power.

Following the Mirage Snake’s demise, swathes of spiritual power dispersed, likely converging into the Brain Lake in the end.

Thus, Li Qinghua’s hunch rang true—the Brain Lake almost certainly concentrated the richest deposits of spirit power crystals.

Regrettably, during his time in Mist City, he’d visited the Brain Lake without delving deep enough.

Reflecting now, that lake undoubtedly concealed vast troves of spirit-class crystals, ripe for mining to forge numerous spirit-class genetic species.

At that point, Li Qinghua pressed on, "Mr. Liang, in all of Yangshan, only you and I wield spatial abilities."

"I’m not sure how you pulled it off, but I figure you’ll want these spatial blood crystals too."

"Feel free to grab however many you require from this batch."

Liang Yuan chuckled softly at her words.

Li Qinghua proved remarkably generous, which explained why she’d let him tag along before.

After a brief pause, Liang Yuan questioned, "What’s the name of your awakened genetic map?"

"It’s the Evolutionary Mirage Snake! The genetic legacy granted me various spatial manipulation techniques."

"The Spatial Rift Slash stands as the most basic one, alongside higher-tier moves like Space Folding and Space Jump—though my current spiritual power falls short for those."

Liang Yuan marveled inwardly; mere moments after stabilizing her genetic species, Li Qinghua had unlocked such an array of inherited abilities.

This Evolutionary Mirage Snake genetic map clearly ranked at an elite tier.

"Now with this haul of spatial blood crystals, ramping up your strength is merely a question of time—proceed steadily."

"These spatial blood crystals hold immense value, especially since spatial superpower wielders are exceedingly scarce; you’re the only one I’ve encountered so far. Safeguard them carefully."

"I’ll claim just enough to craft a handful of emergency genetic species."

"The remainder stays with you."

Liang Yuan refrained from demanding a lavish split of the spatial blood crystals.

A modest quantity sufficed for him to produce spatial genetic species.

Leveraging his innate genetic transformation talent, he could effortlessly forge space-attribute genetic species tailored to himself.

Strength gains, however, hinged primarily on advancing his core Hundred-Change Demon Ape.

Elevating the Hundred-Change Demon Ape genetic species would automatically uplift all his others.

Hence, he had no pressing need for masses of spatial blood crystals to power up.

Moments later, Li Qinghua unearthed a substantial cache of spatial blood crystals and passed them to Liang Yuan.

Once he tucked them away in his inventory, Liang Yuan and Li Qinghua exited the Mirage Snake atrium.

This chamber occupied a peculiar spot, existing beyond the confines of the Mirage Snake Space.

As Li Qinghua described, the Mirage Snake Space functioned as the beast’s inner realm.

Upon the Mirage Snake’s collapse, its corpse dissolved into the void, shattering the internal space and spilling it out, which corroded portions of the Ecological City and birthed the present landscape.

Back at Little Straw Mountain, Liang Yuan led Li Qinghua and Ding Yan on a hunt for genetic species-level mutant beasts.

Zhou Qingming, Li Xiangyang, and Zhang Rongrong received orders to gather the other survivors from Little Straw Mountain and search for Old Ge.

"Mr. Liang, this zone is really expansive; spotting genetic species mutant beasts will probably require quite a bit of time," Li Qinghua sighed.

Had he refined the Brain Core, such hassle wouldn't have arisen.

The Breath of Life in this space couldn't evade the Brain Core's detection.

Liang Yuan chuckled while shaking his head, "There's an easier approach."

"What's that?" Li Qinghua hesitated, eyeing Liang Yuan skeptically.

Ding Yan turned toward Liang Yuan too, her face filled with curiosity.

"No light sources exist in this space; local creatures appear mildly aggressive toward illumination."

"When I slew Wu Yaobang before, numerous genetic species mutant beasts rushed over the moment I ignited a fire."

"Put simply, light will draw them to chase us automatically, sparing us the need to hunt them down."

Li Qinghua had freshly advanced to genetic species and only begun understanding the space, ignorant of this trait among its inhabitants.

Ding Yan had observed it directly: Liang Yuan's Fire Dragon Dance had set Little Straw Mountain ablaze, luring multiple mutant beasts to strike at Little Straw Mountain's Eden.

Ding Yan's eyes sparkled upon hearing Liang Yuan's strategy, "Solid plan, but what if it summons excessive genetic species monsters?"

Liang Yuan burst out laughing, "Excess numbers pose no issue, relax and let me take care of it."

He wasn't like Wu Yaobang, limited to self-explosion for unleashing full main attribute attack strength.

Beyond his peak Strength Attribute reaching 92 points, he wielded the burst power technique Muscle Burst.

Delivering an outright double boost, his Strength soared to 184 points instantly!

He simply couldn't accept any Genetic Species monster within Mirage Snake Space surviving his single punch!

Admittedly, that marked Liang Yuan's peak offensive move. Defense hinged on Physical Attribute instead.

Liang Yuan's current Constitution hit 82 points. Should a foe's Attack Power surpass that threshold, it presented some danger to him.

For instance, Wu Yaobang's primary attribute was Constitution, secondary Spirit, tertiary Power.

Wu Yaobang battled via Power and Speed, generating merely around 70 points of Combat Power, hence incapable of overcoming Liang Yuan.

Yet Wu Yaobang's clone self-destruction equated to releasing his complete 87-point main attribute force, still mildly endangering Liang Yuan.

This explained Liang Yuan's initial caution against encirclement by the enemy's clone detonation strategy.

Presently, Liang Yuan believed the local Genetic Mutation Beasts wouldn't resort to self-destruction in a final stand against him.

"Let's go."

Obeying Liang Yuan's directive, Ding Yan and Li Qinghua perched atop a structure.

Each hauled a barrel of petrol Liang Yuan supplied, dumping it across the water below.

Liang Yuan then casually flicked his hand, unleashing a Flame Dragon that slammed into the petrol slick.

Boom!

Ferocious flames exploded upward without delay!

A raging fire surge erupted, engulfing a massive stretch of water surface!

Moments later, the heavens glowed vivid scarlet!

From underwater depths, endless Mutant Fish surged undaunted toward the inferno.

Creatures' phototaxis shone brilliantly right then!

Rumbling!

Abruptly, enormous waves erupted from below the surface.

A colossal shadow soaring dozens of meters high pierced the water rapidly.

"Here it comes!" Li Qinghua yelled uncontrollably.

Ding Yan's expression turned grave as well.

Liang Yuan gazed downward at the waters.

Shrouded in firelight, a crocodile-resembling giant Mutant Beast surfaced.

Its savage elongated jaws bore blue-gray Leather Armor across the back, radiating a horrifying oppressive presence.

Brandishing fangs like daggers, icy slit pupils, and monstrous claws, it exuded overwhelming ferocity.

"Crocodile-type Genetic Mutation Beast!" Ding Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Li Qinghua beside her rapidly assessed, "Appears as a melee Genetic Mutation Beast, likely Physical Class or Strength Type."

Liang Yuan equipped the Spiritual Ability Glasses to measure this mutant crocodile's Spiritual Power level.

Figures raced across the display, soon stabilizing at '62'!

Liang Yuan grinned, "62 points main attribute, hardly threatening."

Li Qinghua eagerly volunteered, "Mr. Liang, why not let me give it a shot?"

Liang Yuan shot him a glance, aware that portals could be opened at will inside the Mirage Snake Space, so his safety remained secure.

He gave a nod and replied, "Perfect timing. Show me your current fighting strength."

Grinning, Li Qinghua stepped right off the rooftop.

His form plunged sharply downward in a flash.

Yet the instant after, he vanished straight into thin air.

Upon reappearing, he hovered right over the mutant crocodile.

Sensing a formidable foe, the mutant crocodile jerked its head up and unleashed a thunderous bellow.

Its tail whipped the water viciously, unleashing a tremendous surge of force in a heartbeat.

The water erupted violently as its massive frame rocketed upward from the depths, lunging to snap at Li Qinghua mid-air.

Li Qinghua's eyes gleamed with fierce intensity at the sight.

He slammed both palms downward with brutal force.

Suddenly, the void quaked, freezing the whole area in that split second.

An unseen Spatial Barrier materialized directly over the mutant crocodile's skull.

Bang! The beast's head collided with it in a deafening impact.

It was as if it had rammed into the heavens before plummeting hard back onto the waves.

Yet prior to fully submerging again, Li Qinghua swept his hand through the air.

A huge Spatial Gate instantly formed in its descent path.

Swoosh!

The enormous mutant crocodile tumbled right through the gate, while Li Qinghua slashed his hand skyward once more!

A second Spatial Portal emerged above.

The mutant crocodile dropped from the heavens!

Thus, trapped in a endless loop by gravity's pull, it plunged through the bottom portal only to emerge from the top one.

With no footing in the air, escape from this relentless cycle proved impossible.

Li Qinghua held the two spatial portals steady, a broad grin lighting his face.

He called out to Liang Yuan, "Mr. Liang, this mutant crocodile seems to be just a Strength Type mutation beast."

Liang Yuan noted too that a different mutant beast type wouldn't fail so utterly to stay aloft.

His silhouette blurred as he dashed to Li Qinghua's side, declaring, "Strength Type works great. Yangshan boasts plenty of Strength Type Superpower Users, and we'll need heaps of Strength Type Genetic Species down the line."

"I'll handle this beast; look, another's heading our way from over there."

Li Qinghua whipped his gaze toward the nearby floodwaters.

Amid the churning surges far off on the water, a see-through colossal jellyfish glowing blue raced toward them!
