The fourth-level powerhouse from Feiyan Land who was captured by Ian was quite young.

Sik Niemathas is only twenty-eight years old. He has become the fourth energy level at this age. It is obviously a bit unusual. In addition, his bloodline [Infinity Protozoa] is one of the two fifth energy levels in Feiyan. The bloodline of one of the super powerful 'Chrysalis', the pure Lord Savaga, should be a direct line of the bloodline of Nirmathas. There are too many things that can be said about it.

This is also the reason why Ian did not join forces with Yan Hai to kill him directly, but went to great lengths and even deliberately induced the computing power of the Heart of Terra to capture him.

"The resistance was quite fierce."

While Ian comforted Yan Hai so that the furious swarm of beings would not tear Sik to pieces immediately, he also used Yan Hai's remaining spiritual power to break through Sik's soul defense and read the opponent's memory.

This back-and-forth use of his hands was the embodiment of Ian's mastery of prostitution. From beginning to end, to defeat this fourth-level powerhouse, Ian only gave a little advice and calculation power, but the harvest was extremely rich.

First of all, Ian figured out how the Flying Flame Land got involved in the muddy waters of the New World.

Sik Niemathas is one of the more than seventy children of Savaga Niemathas, and one of the seven 'qualified persons' who have awakened the blood of the Infinite Protozoa.

With his extraordinary talent and special bloodline, he reached the third energy level at the age of twenty-eight with the full support of the King of Purity. After stabilizing his heart light body, he quickly took the magic potion and became the fourth energy level. .

This powerful talent made him about to become the heir to the Pure King. However, the Eastern Front he was responsible for, that is, the retaliatory actions of the "Fire Mountains" against the rebel group of desert fortresses, which were now supported by the empire, repeatedly failed. , and even caused the army to suffer heavy losses.

After Lieshandi went bankrupt and moved to a floating city from the empire, the front line in charge of Sick immediately reversed its attack and defense.

Although he is extremely talented, his combat experience and command ability are still insufficient. During the counterattack in the Lieshan Mountains, his army was defeated, and the three King's Chosen legions of Nirmathas were almost wiped out.

Such a major mistake, if Si Ke was not the son of the Pure Lord, and his talent was really good, and he was still at the fourth level, if it had been anyone else, even if he had not committed suicide and apologized, he would have completely cut off the path to sublimation, and he would have been Feiyan from now on. You have to work hard to make up for the losses, and never want to be a decision-maker again.

But after all, the Flying Flame Land is not hell, and the Pure Lord is not a devil. As a father, Savaga Niemathas took part of the blame on himself, saying that since it was a task assigned by him, he was also responsible for the fiasco on the Eastern Front. Part of the fault cannot be entirely blamed on Sigg.

The fifth energy level has issued an edict, and Sick has one last chance... He will lead an elite team, and together with the mysterious Warcraft allies in the Flying Flame Land, try to find a 'retreat' opportunity in the New World .

Yes, a way out.

When trying to attack the empire, they encountered setbacks one after another. For example, a fourth-level demon was killed in the Nanling Mountains controlled by someone, and the Dragon of the Abyss was lost. The demon technology he controlled was even ruled to be After "Extremely Dangerous Technology", Feiyandi understood that even if they could really capture the western province of the empire, it would only be temporarily managed by the empire.

After the empire came to its senses and solved Junling Castle, the northwest army united together with the Lieshan District and the maritime troops of the Seven Cities Alliance. Feiyandi, who was attacked by three fronts, would definitely suffer a big loss.

Even if the fifth level takes action, it will definitely have to pay a huge price to make peace.

By then, for at least a hundred years, Feiyandi, which is equivalent to encountering an apocalyptic crisis, will completely lose the ability to speak out on the mainland. Just like Yanjiang today, although it has a scary trump card, it has no Struggle for population and resources.

Since everyone has foreseen that they will be beaten to pieces, it is natural to think about retreat... Sik and the Feiyan Land construct knight behind him have landed on the northern coast of Fantasy Sun Kingdom and built a camp.

"Where are the other fourth levels?"

Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but be a little surprised. He asked Sigg: "Why should such an important matter as the escape route to the New World be left to you, a man who has committed crimes and made meritorious deeds?"

【I am already dead】

Although he was still struggling hard, his mental defense line was destroyed. Sick could not lie at this moment, so he spoke the answer frankly like the Answer Star: [Every fourth-level person is locked and tracked by the enemy. Once they disappear, they will be tracked by the enemy. After a period of time, there will be corresponding actions. 】

[And according to the publicity, I have died in the raid in the fierce mountains, so I can barely be considered free to carry out this secret operation]

[If I cannot complete this task, then I will really die]

This is in line with Ian's understanding. The fourth energy level is far less free than imagined. The fourth energy levels all over the world are essentially monitoring each other. No matter who loses their movements, there will be corresponding strong people who will come to test and even cause extremely terrifying destruction.

This is also the reason why Ian has been keeping his apparent strength around the third level. If he upgrades to the fourth level, just like the Mahdi, he can basically only stay in the Holy Mountain now. Once he is dispatched, he will eventually There are at least a hundred pairs of eyes watching his every move using sublimation techniques, psychic detection and other methods.

That would be too unfree, and you wouldn’t be able to do many things.

However, this is the past... Ian believes that it will soon be time for him to show his fourth-level strength openly.

Turning his mind back to Sick, Ian noticed that the other party's blood and spirit were still struggling fiercely, and were rapidly undergoing various special transformations and evolutions in response to Yan Hai's mental attacks.

By now, his thoughts had even regained some clarity, and he could realize that the being reading his memory and communicating with him was not Yan Hai, so he was shocked: "Who are you?" You are not a local monster, this soul frequency... you are a human being, and a very strong fourth-level human being! 】

[There is no soul like you on Far Coast Island, and neither does the Empire... Are you the envoy of Whale Song Cliff? Or should I say, you are...]

"neither."

Ian was too lazy to hide anything from this doomed prisoner. His will pulled the 'fairy body' on the far side of time and space. Endless frost instantly covered the surrounding sea within a dozen kilometers, and even Yan Hai temporarily calmed down. Under the terrifying pressure, an exquisite and perfect frost fairy walked out of the virtual realm.

The long white hair, the fairy wings that rotate like a cross star, and those blue eyes that seem to lead to the distant beyond...

[Ian...Ian Silver Peak? ! 】

Sick saw the ice goblin and instantly recognized who the person in front of him was - as the fourth level of the Flying Flame Land, he was a famous rising star in the empire. He arrived at the scene by transforming into a goblin when he was around twenty years old. Super geniuses who have reached the third energy level and can even envision the fourth energy level must know it very well.

But now...is this what the fuck is called twenty? What the hell is this called the third level?

This is obviously strong even in the fourth energy level! He thought to himself that whether it was him or Yan Hai, facing Fairy Ian one-on-one, the outcome would be a 28-80 split at most, and a 46-60 split at most if they joined forces.

monster!

At this moment, Sick was desperate, because he knew that he would never be able to come back alive after knowing this: [If you have anything to ask, just don’t crush my heart, light, body and soul essence... 】

He smiled bitterly and said: [Everyone in the world says that your senior brother Mahdi is the first person of the younger generation and the first new generation fifth-level person in the future... But looking at it now, you may not be inferior to your senior brother, or even better. There is a winner! 】

"Flattery can't keep you alive."

Ian raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Sick was so savvy that he didn't resist at all after recognizing himself and his own strength, and just left him to die - but when he thought about it carefully, it wasn't surprising.

Nowadays, Sick is already a dead man on the surface. He has no meritorious service in the New World. He has been a lonely ghost wandering around in this life. However, this time the New World's plan to stop Yan Hai failed, he lost the last chance to return to his identity. And Ian would never let him go back alive.

In addition, the other party has already broken through his own mental defense. He doesn't tell many secrets, but others can forcefully read his mind and know. Why don't he cooperate? Might as well be decent before leaving.

"You are bound to die, but if you behave well, you may not be able to live in another way."

Ian has always been very generous to those who cooperate. He nodded and promised: "I don't expect to get the core secrets about Feiyan Land from you. You haven't fallen to the point of betraying the country and the people." The level of my own father... But I need you to cooperate with me to complete some research and experiments. I will kill your body, and your soul... will just be imprisoned."

Sick did not reply, but acquiesced to all this. He had no bargaining power.

"Go, Yan Hai."

After dealing with Sick, Elf Ian lowered his head, smiled at the living sea that was watching him warily: "Your allies are still waiting for you, although I don't know exactly what Far Coast Island promised you. , but if you can find a little bit of 'cooperative' thinking, it means that you may not always be Yan Hai."

The young Star God, who knew the origin of Yan Hai from the Star God's Gift information, said softly: "Go, Far Coast Island is not my enemy... It's just what they want to do, and I want to do it better."

[...They want to stabilize nature so that all things can stop fighting each other]

After a wave of waves surged, it was no longer colorful, but turned into a calm and gloomy deep blue. Yan Hai responded to Ian with vague and echoing fluctuations: [The sea (us) longs for tranquility... The sea needs peace]

[This is...the wish of the Mother of the Ocean (the Fire Seed of the Sea of ​​Hell)... The sea cannot do it...]

The sea of ​​self-consciousness is essentially a mirror, learning attitudes towards everything in the world by imitating other intelligent beings. The original Sea of ​​Consciousness was cared for by a friendly Galaxy Alliance, which was naturally amiable, but what Yan Hai had to face was a tragic ecosystem in which intelligent beings in the New World killed and devoured each other. This was different from the ecology of nature. In essence, many kinds of intelligent life are eating each other for 'food', not a simple cycle between wild beasts.

The fallen sea gradually grew stronger. After reaching the fourth energy level, it was extremely powerful and the 'survival crisis' was solved. 'Wish' awakens in the heart of Yama the desire that has been inherited from the sea of ​​self-consciousness.

This is what makes Ian sigh. Etiquette can only be learned by living in a warehouse. If a living being cannot even protect its right to survive, it is absolutely impossible for it to have any peace, kindness or even any noble wishes.

Yan Hai retreated and went to find his allies on Far Coast Island.

After all, they were a small part that split from the Sea of ​​Consciousness back then. They could vaguely detect that in addition to being powerful, Fairy Ian also had an aura about him that calmed them instinctively.

He is the first fourth-level person who can actively detect the aura of the Star God's Gift. Although it is also because Ian did not hide it, as Ian becomes more and more powerful, the Star God's Gift will become more and more sublimated. It was obvious, even to the end, that it was difficult to hide.

Ian is not afraid of that kind of future, and even looks forward to a future in which he is so powerful.

He took Sike, who gave up on himself and no longer resisted, and flew all the way to the Tieyun Mountains, where the glazed crystal dragon slept.

At this point, the confrontation between Far Coast Island and the major beast nations, and even Feiyan Land and other continental forces in the Crystal Holy Land is about to break out, and the transformation of the crystal dragon will take about half a year, and it is obviously too late to catch up.

Although Ian can also use his fairy body to disguise himself as a local monster or fairy to fight, but if he wants to make his 'Crystal Dragon Body' become; 'New World Crystal Dragon King' or even 'New World Dragon' God', if you want to prepare for future votes, it's best to use the crystal dragon body.

So, how to speed up?

What Ian originally wanted was to give up part of his flesh and blood body and directly use mechanization to transform the crystallized dragon's body into a half-mechanical dragon and half-crystalline dragon. With the ore already prepared in the Iron Cloud Mountains, this would not be possible. The most difficult thing is to spend more time in the future to convert the mechanical part into the form of a super biological battleship like a real dragon.

But the boundless protozoan blood in Sick's body gave Ian another choice.

As one of the supreme bloodlines of the Flying Flame Land, the Infinity Protozoa can achieve ultra-high-speed transformation and adaptive evolution by consuming its own vitality and ether... Although it is powerful, it is essentially just a life-saving battle and cannot be regarded as a 'top'.

What truly makes the Infinity Protozoa the blood of the throne is Feiyan Land’s special ‘inherited rare object’. As the core of the major bloodlines in Feiyan Land, Ian believes that the heritage artifact is essentially a plug-in special device, similar to the Dragon Heart Core and Ether Crystal in his own body.

The inherited artifact in Savaga's hands allows the Infinity Protozoa to transform regardless of the condition of 'vitality', and accelerates the transformation process tenfold.

This is the reason why the chrysalis can evolve and transform at will by spending its accumulated ether, and can fight against any enemy.

If Sick had an inherited rare item, it would take him ten minutes to fully adapt to Yan Hai's mental attacks, and he would be almost completely immune to it for a long time, until Sick encountered more other attacks and had to degrade his mental abilities. Up to the defensive part.

But he didn't - even if it cost him his life, it would take him more than a hundred minutes to become immune to Yan Hai's attack, and he was unable to fight back against Ian's sneak attack.

Ian can't fully utilize all the advantages of the Infinity...but he can extract the 'rapid transformation' part of the Infinity in Sick's body, consume the vitality of the crystal dragon, and accelerate the transformation of the crystal dragon.

And the lifespan of the ether crystal dragon?

Haha, this kind of crystal dragon that has returned to the bloodline of the super life form of the universe, the 'Ether Stardust Dragon', has a lifespan calculated on the basis of thousands of years even at the third and fourth energy levels. The King of Crystal Dragons in the Sea of ​​Meditation is still alive. Even after 1,600 years, he is still full of energy!

There is such a thing as lifespan!

As for whether this can be considered as practicing cannibalism...

Ian felt that it was just a malicious biological experiment at most, and he didn't eat it himself. The crystal dragon took advantage of the opponent's blood characteristics, and essentially just refined Sick's blood into some kind of equipment to catalyze it.

Even if it really eats, the crystal dragon eats people. Is that called cannibalism? That’s called a natural cycle!

Ian really has no bottom line in this regard. Whatever was needed, he would do it.

soon.

As Fairy Ian took Sick, he turned into a stream of light and entered the depths of the Iron Cloud Mountains.

An hour later, as the entire Iron Cloud Mountain Range shook slightly, the mighty floating mountains undulated and trembled like an earthquake in the sky.

And a straight green light shot straight into the sky, and the long dragon's roar resounded throughout the world.

I went to have dinner with many authors today. I came back to code in the middle of the meal, so I didn’t ask for leave!
