Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1206 - 544: Scramble for the Heart Core (2)

Fortunately, they were all Superpower Users, and mid-air, they hastily took countermeasures, stumbling awkwardly to the ground.

Rising quickly, they began shouting loudly to one another.

Liang Yuan ignored these individuals and extended his hand, placing the massive ship into his inventory.

Using the same method, he then collected all the ships, leaving only these ordinary Superpower Users shrieking in fear by the water's edge.

Liang Yuan did not bother these common Superpower Users. After finishing everything, he swiftly made his way towards the cave.

As soon as he entered, a dense aura of Dark Attribute energy was immediately sensed.

"Path of Bloodline?"

Liang Yuan instantly identified the nature of this passage.

"How can a Path of Bloodline be connected to the canyon outside?"

"The structure of this Floating Island Giant Corpse is truly mysterious."

Liang Yuan mused to himself without delay and directly entered the Path of Bloodline.

Not long after walking, he spotted several corpses scattered on the ground.

Liang Yuan glanced at them, roughly estimating that these bodies might belong to members of the Spiritual Ability Sect.

"They already initiated internal conflict just upon entering the Path of Bloodline?"

Liang Yuan was secretly astonished; there seemed to be no resources here.

Continuing his inward journey, this Path of Bloodline was not excessively long.

After traversing about a kilometer, the Path of Bloodline grew narrower, and numerous branching paths appeared along the way.

Liang Yuan's eyes flickered, and without much hesitation, he quickly assessed the direction by sensing the intensity of the Dark Attribute, selecting a Path of Bloodline to proceed.

As he moved, he could distinctly feel the Path of Bloodline inclining downwards.

Liang Yuan was secretly delighted, immediately deducing that he was penetrating deeper into the Floating Island.

Throughout the Path of Bloodline, Dark Attribute Blood Crystals were present everywhere.

The quality of these blood crystals was naturally inferior to those found in the Brain Lake.

However, they still contained pure Dark Attribute essence blood.

"Taking over this island could allow for the cultivation of many experts of the Dark Attribute Genetic Species."

Liang Yuan did not pause, continuing to accelerate his pace.

He soon arrived at a dead end.

At the terminus of the Path of Bloodline was a wall constructed of flesh.

Liang Yuan closed his eyes and sensed, confirming that beyond the wall, strong waves of Dark Attribute energy persisted.

He did not attempt to bypass this flesh wall. Instead, he immediately activated his Superpower, triggering the [Protein Corrosive Liquid] skill.

His hands made contact with the flesh wall, and the corrosive liquid aggressively permeated and eroded the wall.

Tendrils of green smoke emerged as the flesh wall corroded and melted at a perceptible rate.

A peculiar aroma permeated the air, the scent of melting protein.

In under ten minutes, the flesh wall before him had been corroded into a human-sized passage, approximately two hundred meters in length.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a cracking sound emanated from the flesh wall ahead.

Liang Yuan's eyes immediately brightened: "It's through!"

He kicked aside the decaying flesh wall and stepped out of the fleshy passage.

This was a new Path of Bloodline, suffused with abundant Dark Attribute energy.

The ground was also strewn with high-purity Dark Attribute Blood Crystals.

Liang Yuan lacked the time to extract these blood crystals and proceeded onward with rapid strides.

He was not concerned with minor gains at this juncture; as long as he located the Heart Core, all the Dark Attribute Blood Crystals here would become his.

Half a day later, Liang Yuan halted before a vast dark heart chamber.

He held his breath, remaining perfectly still.

Within the heart chamber, a colossal silhouette was coiled.

Shadows enveloped the surroundings, and amidst the terrifying shadows, various roars could be faintly heard.

"The Three Great Sects..."

Undeniably, within these shadows, the roaring individuals were from the Three Great Sects and other major forces, including the military.

"They are indeed capable, managing to locate the Heart Core in such a short time within such a complex Path of Bloodline."

"However, they clearly did not anticipate that within this Floating Island resides a Dark Attribute Mutant Beast with a main attribute of 100 points!"

Now, all these individuals have been drawn into the Shadow Realm by this black dragon.

Liang Yuan was simply perplexed as to why the black dragon had not yet devoured these people.

Gazing at the enormous figure within the heart chamber, Liang Yuan did not hesitate and immediately activated the Genetic Species within him, rapidly transforming into a shadow, swiftly moving within the darkness.

Traversing through the Path of Bloodline, stepping into the heart chamber.

Liang Yuan finally beheld the true form of this black dragon!

Within the vast expanse of the heart chamber, a colossal, worm-like entity of indeterminate length lay coiled. This monstrous being, a creature of the abyss, throbbed with an unfathomable presence.

At this very moment, cradled within the maw of this immense black dragon worm, a formidable Dark Attribute Crystal Core pulsed, radiating waves of potent Dark Attribute energy!

Despite the oppressive, all-encompassing darkness that surrounded them, Liang Yuan's perception allowed him to see the crystal as if it were brilliantly illuminated!

"So this is the Heart Core? It remains unrefined!"

A mixture of astonishment and disbelief washed over Liang Yuan.

This black dragon worm, it actually hasn't refined the Heart Core yet? It had already refined the Brain Core, so why not its heart? Liang Yuan found this perplexing, but it wasn't the immediate concern.

His priority was clear: devising a method to reclaim the Heart Core right now!

"Since it's unrefined, I shall seize it directly!"

With a decisive thought, Liang Yuan emerged from his shadow state without a second's hesitation. Reverting to his three-dimensional form, his presence materialized beside the black dragon worm as if by instantaneous teleportation.

In the blink of an eye, he extended a finger, sharp and decisive.

Screech!

A spatial rift tore open. The black dragon worm, unable to evade in time, was struck with a shuddering sound, its entire lower jaw ripped asunder. Startled awake, its reaction was nonetheless lightning-fast.

Almost instantaneously, it dissolved into a wispy mass of shadow, vanishing from sight.

The rift of spatial energy swept through the area but failed to tear apart the dissipating shadow. As the black dragon worm disappeared, the Heart Core it held in its mouth tumbled free.

Liang Yuan's mind raced, a sudden realization dawning: "The Heart Core cannot be brought into the shadow world?"

Indeed, he himself possessed the ability [Dark Abyss Mouth] and was intimately familiar with the rules governing the shadow world. Within the three-dimensional realm, only living entities could be transported into the shadow world; inanimate objects were excluded.

Witnessing this, Liang Yuan swiftly reached out to grasp the Heart Core.

However, at that precise moment, a dark figure suddenly darted from an adjacent shadow. In the following instant, this newcomer snatched the Heart Core and vanished into the shadows without a trace!

Liang Yuan's pupils constricted instantly: "How dare you! Stop right there!"

He roared in fury, and in the next breath, his spiritual power expanded outward with tremendous force. A potent Spirit Shock wave emanated in all directions, covering a radius of over five hundred meters!

The individual who had escaped into the shadow world let out a pained cry of 'ah!' They were violently expelled from the shadow realm against their will!

Liang Yuan's figure flickered, and he suddenly seized the expelled intruder.

Upon closer inspection, the figure wore a golden helmet shaped like a jellyfish, completely concealing their face. Yet, the distinct dark attribute energy fluctuations emanating from them immediately informed Liang Yuan that this was unmistakably a Dark Attribute Superpower User!

"Quite the praying mantis catching the cicada, with the oriole waiting behind—you've certainly endured and managed to wait until this moment!"

Liang Yuan sneered as he forcefully retrieved the Heart Core from the interloper's hand.

Just then, the surrounding space began to twist violently, and a multitude of dark shadows descended upon them.

Liang Yuan sensed the shift instantly, and his body underwent a rapid transformation. The Heart Core, clutched in his hand, began to slip from his grasp.

"Dark Abyss Mouth?"

Liang Yuan's understanding clicked into place: it was the black dragon worm! It had activated its Dark Abyss Mouth ability, forcibly dragging him back into the shadow world! Consequently, the Heart Core would be immediately expelled.

Nevertheless, Liang Yuan's eyes merely gleamed, and the Heart Core vanished from his hand in an instant. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, the figure within Liang Yuan's grasp suddenly writhed, managing to break free!

Within the shadow world, all beings exist in a shadow state; direct physical restraint is impossible. Although Liang Yuan had awakened the Dark Abyss Shadow Dragon Genetic Species, he had not yet mastered the ability to 'devour' shadows. Caught off guard, his opponent had successfully escaped.

Yet, Liang Yuan remained unfazed, his heart calm because the Heart Core was already safely secured within his inventory.

At this moment, an immense black dragon could be seen rapidly approaching.

With no time to pursue the escaped figure, Liang Yuan directly activated his Dark Abyss Shadow Dragon Genetic Species. In the subsequent moment, he tore through the fabric of the shadow and burst forth from the shadow world.

Scarcely had he exited the shadow world when a piercing whistling sound hurtled towards him. Out of the pervasive darkness, a terrifying arrow shot rapidly towards Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan's heart lurched, and he hastily employed Spiritual Telekinesis to erect a Spirit Turtle Shield before him.

Boom!

The arrow pierced through the Spirit Turtle Shield as if it were mere paper and, in an instant, was upon Liang Yuan. Fortunately, Liang Yuan reacted with incredible speed, activating his Space Superpower to teleport and vanish from his original location.

Boom!

The arrow detonated violently, transforming into radiant streaks of red light. The surrounding dark attribute energy dissipated like ripples on water!

"Sealing Arrow!"

A jolt went through Liang Yuan's heart as he immediately identified that particular arrow. It was either imbued with light attribute energy or was a Sealing Rune, both capable of repelling dark attribute energy!
