Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1208 - 546: Refining the Heart Core

Within the desolate Sumeru Space, Mutated Sunflowers, previously sown by Liang Yuan, bathed the area in a brilliant glow.

He assumed a cross-legged posture, extending a hand to retrieve a dark crystal core from his inventory.

This crystal core, reminiscent of a pulsating heart, stood at half the height of a person!

Its surface was intricately mapped with a dense web of blood-red lines, appearing much like a highly concentrated chip.

Despite its modest dimensions, it likely held more genetic data than the entirety of the Floating Island itself!

Gazing upon this gene species, which exuded a dark energy aura, Liang Yuan's eyes sparkled with sharp brilliance.

"Could this be the Heart Core?"

This marked Liang Yuan’s inaugural encounter with a Heart Core.

He had initially envisioned the Heart Core as being colossal, but upon holding it, he discovered its size to be merely half his own height.

Moments ago, within the oppressive darkness, this Heart Core had seemed insignificant within the maw of that enormous black dragon.

However, this perception was solely due to the black dragon's immense scale.

"No wonder Chang Yuntao, back in Mist City, concealed himself within his heart, refining this Heart Core over such an extended period."

"I wonder how long it will take for me to successfully refine this Heart Core."

Without further hesitation, Liang Yuan closed his eyes, commencing the refinement ritual for the Heart Core with swift execution.

His Spiritual Power enveloped the Heart Core, whereupon he unleashed his internal superpowers, directing them with rapid penetration into the massive Heart Core.

The instant his superpower made contact with the Heart Core, an unusual connection was forged.

Liang Yuan keenly perceived his superpower and Spiritual Power actively drawing the intrinsic energy from within the Heart Core.

Concurrently, a deluge of genetic information surged into his consciousness.

This information pertained to this very Floating Island!

Lost in a state of profound immersion, Liang Yuan experienced a sensation of transforming into a gargantuan black dragon.

This dragon bore no scales; its entire form was shrouded in an ethereal shadow.

In that moment, it was accelerating through the boundless shadowed expanse.

Suddenly, the very ground began to tremble with violent intensity.

From within the shadows, it directed its gaze upward towards the heavens.

And beheld a vast, unending cerulean canopy above, punctuated by the successive appearance of colossal Floating Islands.

Before it could even process this revelation.

A blindingly terrifying white light erupted from those Floating Islands.

In a mere instant, the entire world was seemingly transformed into an expanse of dazzling daylight.

It promptly sought refuge within the ground’s shadows, morphing into a two-dimensional silhouette.

Before it could react once more, it felt its surroundings violently collapsing and crumbling.

Then, its body registered the rapid fracturing and splitting of the earth directly beneath it.

The ground erupted with fiery earth, its roar punctuated by explosive detonations.

Concealed within the shadows, it bore witness to its homeland disintegrating into dust.

The earth beneath it shattered into countless fragments, propelled outward into the void of space.

From a distance, it observed a colossal white light piercing the interstellar expanse beyond the planet’s atmospheric veil.

Within this intense white light, innumerable massive floating islands were ejected, aggressively pelting the planet.

Its home planet sustained direct impacts, shattering into innumerable pieces that drifted in all directions.

The planetary fragment upon which it found itself was rapidly streaked across the sky, propelled by this terrifying shockwave towards the deepest reaches of the universe.

It cowered in the shadows, consumed by fear. Unsure of the passage of time, it eventually regained consciousness to find itself on an unfamiliar planet, alongside numerous other planetary fragments.

Liang Yuan surveyed his surroundings, his attention suddenly captured by a colossal beast fleeing in the distance.

This creature stood over ten meters tall, possessing immensely powerful hind legs and teeth as sharp as daggers.

Liang Yuan stared in shock, recognizing it as a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex!

But could a T-Rex realistically attain such immense size?

And judging by its frantic movements, the T-Rex was clearly desperate for survival!

What manner of place was this?

Could it be the ancient Blue Star?

As Liang Yuan pondered these questions, the ground beneath him vibrated with a deafening roar.

A colossal beast materialized.

This beast, entirely golden in hue as if forged from pure gold, loomed like a towering mountain.

It opened its maw towards the fleeing T-Rex, unleashing a concentrated torrent of golden light.

With a piercing swoosh, the T-Rex was instantaneously bisected by the radiant golden beam.

The colossal beast advanced, lowering its head to consume the fallen T-Rex.

After a few powerful bites, it seemed to detect something, its head swiveling towards Liang Yuan's position.

Liang Yuan's heart lurched, and before he could even react, he found himself projected from the shadows, issuing a defiant roar.

He then engaged the golden beast in a ferocious combat, the earth quaking, trees splintering, and mountains crumbling under the force of their struggle.

A multitude of Exotic Beasts scattered in sheer terror.

Liang Yuan unleashed the [Dark Abyss Mouth], abruptly drawing the golden beast into the Shadow World.

Ultimately, he emerged victorious from this intense battle.

The memory abruptly ceased at that juncture.

Reacting quickly, Liang Yuan found another fresh memory surfacing immediately afterwards.

He found himself immersed in an infinite expanse of ice and snow, the sky veiled by a dense flurry of snowflakes, and the ground buried beneath snowdrifts like colossal mountains.

From a distance, a colossal snowy peak began to shift, and abruptly, the earth shuddered with violent tremors.

The towering snow mountain, taken by surprise, cascaded downwards with a deafening roar.

Liang Yuan swiftly grasped that it wasn't solid earth, but ice!

Just as he was about to survey his surroundings, the heavens suddenly plunged into darkness.

He looked upward to behold a colossal, three-legged golden bird unfurling its wings across the celestial expanse.

Before it could venture far, a gargantuan, peculiar serpent erupted from a tear in space, swiftly yanking the golden bird into the ethereal void.

With a swift closing motion, the spatial rift sealed, instantaneously bisecting the golden bird.

A section of its body thudded onto the snow-covered ground.

In a flash, that severed portion ignited, erupting in intense flames that aggressively melted the surrounding ice and snow with a powerful whoosh.

Before long, with a distinct splash, it breached the icy surface, disappearing entirely into the depths.

A massive plume of white steam billowed upwards, only to instantly refreeze.

Liang Yuan could feel the extreme frigidity of the location.

Yet, dwelling within the Shadow World, he barely registered the biting chill.

He remained uncertain whether this was due to his inherent resistance to cold or the Shadow World's complete immunity to temperature fluctuations.

Flashes of genetic inheritance memory trickled into his consciousness intermittently.

Liang Yuan felt a sense of grogginess; the overwhelming influx of information prevented him from focusing, compelling him into a state of passive absorption.

The nascent genetic inheritance memories unfolded a tapestry of bizarre and astonishing visions.

Monstrous beasts the size of mountains soared through the air.

Alien creatures descended from the cosmos, breaching planetary atmospheres to prey upon worlds.

Within the oceans, titanic beings lurked, stealthily moving and consuming entire islands.

An indeterminate amount of time elapsed until Liang Yuan suddenly perceived a potent wave of fear advancing towards him.

This fear was profoundly ingrained within his very genes.

He immediately sharpened his focus and directed his gaze skyward.

He witnessed a terrifying divine radiance pierce through the galaxy, engulfing the planet.

In the subsequent instant, the entire world became encased in ice.

Liang Yuan felt as though all life on this planet was frozen in that singular moment.

Then, blackness consumed his vision, and his memory abruptly concluded.

His eyelids snapped open, his eyes wide with terror.

Glancing around, he experienced a flicker of surprise.

He was still situated within the Sumeru Space, which remained warm and devoid of the chilling sensation of the frozen landscape.

"Could this be... gene memory?"

Liang Yuan lapsed into a brief silence, striving to process the entirety of the experience.

The Heart Core, previously half his height, had vanished completely before him.

He could feel an immense surge of Power coursing through his body.

Liang Yuan swiftly consulted his attribute panel.

Upon a cursory glance, his eyebrows shot up in astonishment.

Liang Yuan was instantly taken aback.

"All my attributes have actually reached one hundred points?"

"Wait a moment, what's happening with these Points?"

Liang Yuan's gaze swept across the display, suddenly noticing the alteration in his Points section.

At this precise moment, the total astonishingly amounted to over three hundred and fifty thousand!

Liang Yuan was dumbfounded. Could a single Heart Core possibly be worth such an astronomical sum?

"This doesn't add up. A Heart Core is an inanimate object, isn't it? Since when does the system award me Points for inanimate objects?"

Liang Yuan sensed that something was amiss, but this was hardly the opportune moment to dwell on it.

He needed to venture outside without delay to assess the prevailing situation.

In the blink of an eye, he swiftly exited the Sumeru Space.

The instant he materialized, Liang Yuan immediately felt his connection to this Floating Island solidify.

"Now that I have refined the Heart Core of the 'Dark Abyss Mouth', I can exert control over any segment of this Floating Island."

"If I could refine the Heart Core, I would be able to sense any creature residing on the island."

"I must locate that black dragon worm and refine it!"

Liang Yuan's eyes gleamed with determination as he rapidly scanned his surroundings.

He was still positioned above the canyon.

However, a profound silence enveloped everything; on one flank, the mountains had crumbled, leaving them buried under heaps of dislodged rocks.

Liang Yuan swiftly flew towards the canyon's entrance, proceeding inwards with purposeful strides.

He had not taken two steps before detecting a powerful surge of dark attribute energy.

"Hmm? This aura..."

"Roar—!"

Before Liang Yuan could fully ascertain the source, a ferocious roar erupted from the subterranean depths.

This was immediately followed by earth-shattering sounds of impact.

The earth shakes violently, and a colossal, obsidian figure erupts from below the surface.

The appearance of this black dragon mirrors the one from Liang Yuan’s genetic inheritance, striking a strange resemblance.

"It seems this creature has truly transformed into the black dragon of the Dark Abyss Mouth," Liang Yuan muses.

He experiences a peculiar sensation, as if this black dragon worm might be the genuine successor.

Judging by its form and potent abilities, this black dragon worm appears to be of the same lineage as the master of the Floating Island.

However, the black dragon worm has not yet reached its full potential; its current size is considerably smaller than that of the imposing Floating Island.

"Roar—!"

With a formidable roar, the black dragon detects Liang Yuan's presence. It immediately contorts its body, launching itself forward with fierce intent.

An intense, mutual animosity flares between the two. Without a moment's hesitation, it attacks Liang Yuan the instant it emerges.

Boom!

The black dragon worm hurtles through the air, engaging in a brutal collision.

It foregoes its shadow abilities, opting instead for a direct physical assault, underscoring its profound hatred for Liang Yuan stemming from the theft of the Heart Core.

Observing this, Liang Yuan lets out a faint smile.

"You believe your size alone grants you strength?"

Suspended in mid-air, he casually unleashes a powerful punch!

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoes, causing the surrounding environment to tremble.

In the face of the black dragon worm, Liang Yuan appears as negligible as a tiny sesame seed. Yet, an astonishing spectacle unfolds.

The very muscles on the black dragon worm’s head instantly buckle inward, its cranial surface rippling and undulating like waves, receding layer by layer.

The adjacent atmosphere shatters instantaneously under the force.

Before Liang Yuan’s fist, the air detonates, sending wave-like shockwaves propagating outward in all directions.

Boom!

The black dragon worm’s immense form is violently propelled backward by the devastating impact of the blow.

Its colossal body collides with the steep cliff face of the canyon.

The cliff reverberates with a thunderous boom, the mountain’s surface crumbling and fracturing with numerous fissures appearing.

Within its eyes, the black dragon worm now displays a mixture of fear and utter disbelief.

It swiftly regains its composure and suddenly opens its maw wide.

In an instant, an all-encompassing darkness descends.

The Dark Abyss Mouth!

It attempts to forcibly drag Liang Yuan into the perilous Shadow Realm!
