Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1248 - 582: Liang Yuan’s Strength

"Instant movement?"

A collective gasp of shock rippled through the crowd.

Liang Yuan’s form had vanished from everyone’s sight.

However, Li Qinghua immediately burst from the Leader’s Mansion, his gaze fixed on the heavens. After a deep inhalation, he declared, "No, it wasn’t instant movement. I perceived no spatial distortions!"

"What? Not instant movement? Then how can there be no trace of him?" Ding Yan questioned, his voice laced with disbelief.

Li Qinghua responded with gravity, "It was pure speed, speed taken to its absolute limit. Mr. Liang’s velocity has reached a point that our very retinas cannot process!" A look of profound astonishment crossed his features as he murmured, "This speed might very well contend with teleportation."

"But if it’s pure speed, why wasn’t there any wind pressure or Qi Burst?" Zhao Kai piped up, his brow furrowed in bewilderment.

Li Qinghua could only shake his head. "That, I cannot explain."

"Mr. Liang’s earlier statement was quite clear," Li Qinghua continued.

"He has already shattered the 100-point threshold, fully advancing into the middle tier of the Genetic Map."

"One can only speculate on the terrifying extent of his current strength."

A palpable sense of longing filled everyone’s eyes.

Not a single one among them had managed to cultivate their Main Attribute to a score of 100.

And yet, Mr. Liang had not only surpassed that limit but had ascended to a realm of might that defied comprehension.

...

Whoosh—

The sound of wind tore past his ears.

Liang Yuan traversed the sky, his movement so swift that he was reduced to a mere blur, an afterimage against the world.

The vision of ordinary humans was utterly incapable of tracking his form.

At this juncture, Liang Yuan’s physical being had begun to diverge significantly from a conventional human appearance.

An myriad of pores erupted across his skin’s surface, expelling torrents of air, propelling him forward like a living jet.

This time, his flight was not an act of Spiritual Telekinesis, but a feat of pure physical propulsion!

"Post-gene recombination, the pores on my body can activate at will, functioning as jet apertures. With the high-speed circulation of my Qi and Blood, I can effortlessly defy gravity and achieve high-altitude flight," Liang Yuan explained internally.

"Furthermore, the overall density of my physique can become as ethereal as clouds following gene recombination."

"I can now accomplish what those Elemental Ability Users perform!"

A tremor ran through Liang Yuan’s core as his Qi and Blood surged, and under the influence of gene recombination, his form underwent a rapid metamorphosis.

In the blink of an eye, he dissolved into a humanoid mist of blood!

The wind flowed through him as if passing through empty space, encountering no resistance whatsoever!

While not precisely Elementalization, this transformation bore an uncanny resemblance to Zhou Qingming’s own blood mist state.

Liang Yuan continued his swift mid-air transmogrification, and suddenly, the blood mist coalesced, manifesting in the void as a colossal ape adorned in shimmering golden fur.

The visage of this great ape bore a faint resemblance to Liang Yuan’s own features, yet the other aspects were undeniably simian.

Its imposing form loomed over ten meters in height, its body covered in a coat of golden-yellow fur, its muscles bulging with power.

The garments he had been wearing had long since been shredded and cast aside.

The nails on its ten fingers were as sharp as predatory talons, and its eyes blazed with a golden light, like twin bolts of lightning concealed within.

"Regrettably, I am short on Points. The Attribute Points I’ve exchanged are insufficient. Currently, the gene recombination process has barely progressed beyond five percent, merely granting me the form," Liang Yuan mused.

He could feel the potent energy coursing through him, the enhanced agility, the formidable might – all indicators that this very form was the one best suited to unleash his complete potential.

"System, display attribute panel," Liang Yuan commanded mentally.

A flash ignited in Liang Yuan’s eyes as he directly accessed the interface.

"After expending eighty thousand Points, all my attributes have experienced a significant surge."

"Among these, the Strength Attribute remains the most elevated."

"The Hundred-Change Demon Ape Genetic Map has successfully advanced to Middle Tier 5% progress."

"The other various genetic maps are evolving in tandem with the progress of the Hundred-Change Demon Ape."

"My sole focus needs to be on pushing the Hundred-Change Demon Ape Genetic Map forward, and the other genetic maps will self-simulate under the influence of my Genetic Mutability Talent."

A smile graced Liang Yuan’s lips; this was the true terror of Genetic Transformation.

As long as Genetic Species and Genetic Maps were present, the talent ability of the Hundred-Change Demon Ape ensured direct simulation and transformation.

This is precisely why Liang Yuan made the firm choice, selecting the Hundred-Change Demon Ape Genetic Species as his initial acquisition.

Consequently, he now possesses the equivalent capability of managing four distinct genetic maps concurrently.

It bears mentioning that with the Ice Bear Genetic Map’s breakthrough into the middle tier, this singular genetic map finally unlocked its inherent talent ability.

Liang Yuan’s awakened talent ability is named [Ice Star Collision].

As the name suggests, this ability is intrinsically linked to power.

Indeed, among Liang Yuan’s numerous attributes, Strength stands out as the most prominent.

When combined with the [Muscle Burst] skill, Liang Yuan felt an immediate surge, believing he could potentially push this newly awakened talent to its absolute limit.

His physical form shifted and swayed, once again dissolving into a swirling mass of blood mist. This mist then coalesced and transformed, reforming into a space-blue armored ant.

This armored ant was enveloped by rippling spatial distortions of a blue hue. Its limbs seemed to grasp the void, and it vanished in an instant.

Upon its reappearance, it was already situated five to six hundred meters away.

This creature is none other than the Sumeru Sky Blue Ant!

The inherent talent of the Sumeru Sky Blue Ant is its mastery over Sumeru Space.

The ability of teleportation is merely a facet of the Sumeru Sky Blue Ant’s broader Sumeru Spatial Ability.

Bang!

The Sumeru Sky Blue Ant dissipated once more, reforming into its blood mist state.

With a subtle shift in Liang Yuan’s thoughts, the vast expanse of blood mist whistled and converged. In a mere blink of an eye, it took the form of a colossal white bear.

This giant bear was completely encased in a shimmering ice armor, radiating an immense aura of pressure despite its seemingly clumsy appearance.

It stood at an imposing height of nearly fifteen to sixteen meters, making it the largest entity present following the integration of Liang Yuan’s four Genetic Maps.

As the giant bear materialized, Liang Yuan’s body involuntarily felt heavier, sinking towards the ground.

He could distinctly perceive the pull of earth’s gravity becoming an arduous force to contend with.

With a controlled exertion of his Spiritual Telekinesis, Liang Yuan managed to stabilize his footing once more.

"It appears the Ice Bear form is not best suited for aerial engagements; its true explosive power is unleashed when grounded," he mused.

The bear articulated these words in human language and, with another mental command, activated its unique Talent Ability.

Buzz!

In the subsequent moment, the ice armor adorning the bear underwent an immediate transformation, condensing into a massive sphere of ice.

Boom!

The bear, now contained within the ice sphere, directed its thoughts, and the enormous ice ball was propelled outwards with explosive force.

Like a celestial comet, it streaked across the sky at incredible speed, piercing through the falling snowflakes, and vanished from sight.

Several kilometers away, Liang Yuan ceased his movement, noting a significant depletion of internal energy.

He reverted to his human form and immediately initiated the Genetic Activation Technique to rapidly replenish the energy he had expended.

"Given my current total Superpower reserves, I can manage transformations from at most three Genetic Maps simultaneously."

"It seems I still need to accumulate more Points to enhance all my major attributes and bolster my overall Superpowers."

Liang Yuan drew a deep breath, his physical strength quickly returning to its prior state.

Though deep in thought, his progress did not halt. He moved with increased speed, covering dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye, arriving at a place called Guangfu.

Soon, islands began to appear on the horizon.

These islands, which were once famous mountains before the cataclysmic flood, had now become isolated landmasses.

Snowflakes drifted through the air, blanketing the frozen ice layer formed by the flood and adding a thick covering of snow to these solitary islands.

The only distinguishing feature was the discernible presence of smoke and fire emanating from these mountainous regions.

Clear indications of human activity were readily apparent.

Liang Yuan’s gaze swept across the landscape, and he quickly located the highest mountain peak in the vicinity.

"Cangqiong Mountain!"

He recognized the landmark, which was indeed the tallest mountain in the Linjiang region, even surpassing Yangshan in elevation.

With a flash of his figure, Liang Yuan instantly found himself atop Cangqiong Mountain.

Below him lay a Sun Wu Pavilion, seemingly erected to honor the legendary Military Saint, Sunzi.

Currently, it served as a reception area for the military forces of the Hawk Faction.

A considerable number of individuals had already congregated around the Sun Wu Pavilion.

Tendrils of smoke rose into the air, and the murmur of voices filled the surroundings.

Within the grand hall of the Sun Wu Pavilion, numerous discussions could be overheard.

Positioned in the center of the hall was a large cauldron. Beneath it, Fire Attribute Superpower Stones released intense thermal energy, continuously boiling the water contained within.

Chunks of meat and bone tumbled in the boiling liquid, and the rich aroma wafting from the cauldron filled the space, elevating the room's temperature significantly above the external cold.

At this precise moment, four distinct groups were seated within the hall.

Facing the main entrance was Yuan Shijie, the leader of the Hawk Faction military contingent.

To his left sat a group of individuals clad in blue robes and wearing masks, identifiable as members of the Water God Sect.

To his right were the members of the Earth Mother Sect, distinguished by their armor and yellow war attire.

Near the entrance, and fewer in number, were only four individuals representing the remaining members of the Spiritual Ability Sect from the Evolution Conference. The four most formidable powers in Guangfu had converged, each holding bamboo vessels filled with savory broth, their entourages murmuring amongst themselves. From the military contingent, Ding Huaiyi, positioned below Yuan Shijie, addressed the assembly. "Let us have quiet, everyone." Though severely wounded and not yet fully recovered after being extricated by Dr. An, he had regained consciousness and could manage basic movement and speech. With his words, the clamor from the assembled forces began to subside. Ding Huaiyi was a familiar figure among the high-ranking members of the Three Great Sects. He had been a crucial player when the military had previously besieged the Sects, a history that bred a certain level of animosity. Indeed, this familiarity was such that many present would have relished the chance to see him dead. A smile gracing his lips, Ding Huaiyi stated, "I trust everyone understands the reason for this gathering. Our military, extending an invitation from the Water God Sect, has convened this alliance to deliberate on strategies for confronting Liang Yuan's band of ruffians at Yangshan." "I am certain you have all experienced losses at Liang Yuan's hand; many of your people have fallen victim to him." "His combat prowess is considerable; his Main Attribute has already surpassed 100 Points. Furthermore, he has managed to refine the Dark Attribute Floating Island, granting him mastery over a specific Dark Attribute Ability. Should we permit his continued ascent, suppressing the burgeoning influence of Yangshan will become exceedingly difficult." "Given your presence here, it is clear you wish to advance this alliance. What are your thoughts?" Ding Huaiyi’s address concluded, Liang Long, the leader of the Pure Water Holy Corps from the Water God Sect, was the first to voice his agreement. "Well spoken!" he declared. "Distinguished attendees, our Water God Sect stands in first support of this alliance. That scoundrel Liang eliminated two of our priests and inflicted casualties upon hundreds of our sect members. I presume your own losses are not insignificant either, are they?" No sooner had Liang Long finished speaking than Shi Lianhai of the Earth Mother Sect interjected, "Leader Liang, what is the utility in recounting past grievances? Is that truly the crux of our concern?" "What occupies our thoughts are the arrangements for troop deployment during the conflict and the subsequent division of Yangshan's wealth and territories. Most crucially, how shall we partition the two Floating Islands belonging to Yangshan?" Upon hearing this, Huo Guodong, the Sect Master of the Spiritual Ability Sect, raised his head, his gaze sharp. "While Shi Lianhai's background may be unremarkable, I concur with his sentiments. If we are to succeed in eliminating Liang Yuan and eradicating Yangshan, our Spiritual Ability Sect must lay claim to one of those two Floating Islands!"
